ABSTRACT

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common illness of respiratory system, seriously threatening human life and health. Emergence and development of COPD are results of inter-actions between genes and pathogenic factors. The combination of cigarette smoking exposure and genetically engineered mice is able to make similar biological effects of special genes under pathogenic condition of cigarette smoke exposure. The article summarizes the method practice on study of drug targets, inflammation and immune in COPD, analyzes the results of these studies, and describes the basic process of the method, aiming to provide reference for research on pathogenesis and drugs of COPD.

ABSTRACT

The genetically engineered mice require special husbandry care and are mainly housed in Individually Ventilated Cage (IVC) systems and Static Micro Isolator Cages (SMIC) to minimize the risk for spreading undesirable microorganisms. However, the static micro isolation cage housing like SMIC are being replaced with IVC systems in many facilities due to a number of benefits like a higher density housing in limited space, better protection from biohazards and allergens and decreased work load due to decreased frequency of cage changing required in this system. The purpose of this study was to examine the reproductive performance of genetically engineered mice housed in individually ventilated cages (IVC) and Static Micro Isolator Cages (SMIC). When the B6C3-Tg (APPswe, PSEN1dE9) 85Dbo/Mmjax transgenic mice were housed in these two housing systems, the number of litters per dam, number of pups born per dam and number of pups weaned per dam were found to be slightly higher in the IVC as compared to the SMIC but the difference was not significant (P<0.05). In case of Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) knockout mice, the number of litters born per dam and the number of pups born per dam were marginally higher in the IVC as compared to those housed in SMIC but the difference was not significant (P<0.05). Only the number of pups weaned per dam were found to be significantly higher as compared to those housed in the SMIC system at P<0.05.

ABSTRACT

[Objective] To investigate the effect of P-selectin on the intestinal tumorigenesis in the 15,24-week-old ApcMin/+ mice.[Methods] Male ApcMin/+ mice were mated with female P-selectin knockout (P-sel-/-) mice to generate AMin/+Ps-/-mice.The diameters and numbers of the intestinal tumors in the intestines of ApcMin/+ and AM/+ps-/-mice were measured using an inverted microscope.The tumor volumes were measured using the following equation:volume =0.52 × (length × width2).[Results] There were no significant difference between the volume and number of intestinal tumor in 15-week-old ApcMin/+ mice and 15-week-old A+ P-mice.The volume and number of intestinal tumor were significantly increased in 24-week-old A+P-mice compared to 24-weekold ApcMin/+ mice.P-selectin deletion significantly prolonged the survival time of ApcMin/+ mice.[Conclusions] P-selectin deletion promotes the intestinal tumorigenesis in the 24-week-old ApcMin/+ mice.

ABSTRACT

Objective Shkbp is also called Shkbp1,can competitively inhibit binding CIN85 and c-Cbl,thereby blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) endocytosis and degradation,to play a role in tumor promotion.This study aims to explore the changes in blood cell classification and T cell subsets in blood,bone marrow,and spleen in Shkbp1-deletion (Shkbp-1-/-) mice.Methods Shkbp-1-/-transgenic mice were identified by PCR genotyping.Blood cell classification was performed using an automatic classification system.Flow cytometry was used to detect the T lymphocyte subsets in the blood,bone marrow,and spleen of Shkbp-1-/-and control mice.Results Routine blood examination showed that neutrophils and eosinophils tended to increase and showing significant differences,and there was no significant difference in lymphocytes.The flow cytometry results showed that there was a decrease of CD4+CD8+ double positive cells and increase of bone marrow CD3+ and CD4+ cells in the control group.However,there was a decreasing trend of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+CD8+ cells in the spleen tissues.Conclusions Shkbp1 is involved in the maturation and differentiation of blood cells,and affects the number of immune cells.This study lays a foundation for the study of how Shkbp1 is involved in the differentiation of blood cells.

ABSTRACT

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of the irreversible vision loss in population over 55 years of age.With the increasingly serious problem of aging,the prevalence of AMD is rising year by year.However,as the pathogenesis of dry AMD is largely unknown,the effective therapy still is lack.Given that there was a lack of proper animal models,it brought about obstacles to researches about molecular mechanism underlying dry AMD.Nowadays,lots of murine models of dry AMD have been established and developed,which provide suitable tools for relevant researches.But,different dry AM D models show varied pathogenesis features,and a reasonable choice of models is very important for different studies.The characteristics of different dry models were reviewed in this article.

ABSTRACT

Genetically engineered mice is one of the powerful research systems in exploring the gene protein life phenomenon,which is useful in generating the laboratory animal model of human diseases and developing the new drugs. With the development of functional genomics and model organism in life science area, biological medicine research is in need of genetically engineered mice deadly. There are still some problems to be resolved, including death effect, no or low expression and no phenotype. It is essential to improve the basic research related to genetically engineered mice.
