Here, we present a protocol to induce colonic inflammation in mice by adoptive transfer of syngeneic CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells into T and B cell deficient recipients. Clinical and histopathological features mimic human inflammatory bowel diseases. This method allows the study of the initiation of colonic inflammation and progression of disease.
有可用于研究人炎性肠疾病(IBD),每个都有其自己的优点和缺点的发病许多不同的动物模型。我们在这里描述通过过继转移的同源脾的CD4 + CD45RB 高 T细胞的成T和B细胞缺陷型受体小鼠启动的一个实验性结肠炎模型。在CD4 + CD45RB 高 T细胞群在很大程度上是由幼稚效应细胞能够诱导的慢性肠道炎症,非常类似于人类IBD的关键环节。这种方法可以被操纵来研究疾病发作和进展的方面。此外,它可以被用来研究先天,自适应的功能,以及调节免疫细胞群,和环境暴露的作用,也就是说 ,该微生物群,在肠道炎症。在这篇文章中,我们阐述了诱导结肠炎一步一步的协议的方法。这INC吕代的成功开发实验性结肠炎的研究目的这个小鼠模型所需要的关键技术环节的视频演示。
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis result from an incompletely defined and complex interaction between host immune responses, genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and the enteric luminal contents1. Recent genome-wide association studies report associations between immune cell regulatory genes and IBD susceptibility2,3. Both innate and adaptive immune cell intrinsic genes are represented in these studies, indicating a central role for these cell populations in IBD pathogenesis.
There currently exist more than 50 animal models of human IBD. While no one model perfectly phenocopies human IBD, many are useful for studying various aspects of human disease, including disease onset and progression and the wound-healing response. In the method described here, intestinal inflammation is initiated with syngeneic splenic CD4+CD45RBhigh T cell adoptive transfer into T and B cell deficient recipient mice4. The CD4+CD45RBhigh T cell population contains mainly naïve T cells primed for activation that are capable of inducing chronic small bowel and colonic inflammation. This method allows the researcher to modify key experimental variables, including both innate and adaptive immune cell populations, to answer biologically relevant questions relating to disease pathogenesis. Additionally, this method provides precise initiation of disease onset and a well-characterized experimental time course. This permits the kinetic study of clinical features of disease progression in mice. Intestinal inflammation induced by this method shares many features with human IBD, including chronic large and small bowel transmural inflammation, pathogenesis driven by cytokines such as TNF and IL-12, and systemic symptoms such as wasting5. Thus, it is an ideal model system for studying the pathogenesis of human IBD.
The method here describes in detail the protocol for inducing experimental colitis by adoptive transfer of CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells into Rag1-/- mice. We discuss key technical steps, expected results, optimization, and trouble-shooting. We address the required elements for the successful development of this murine model of intestinal inflammation for research purposes.
在这里,我们描述了一个一步一步的协议,通过过继转移CD4 + CD45RB + T细胞的免疫缺陷小鼠诱导小鼠结肠的炎症。我们使用的C57BL / 6供体脾和同系RAG1 – / –受体小鼠,尽管其它菌株( 例如 ,BALB / c小鼠,129S6 / SvEv,非肥胖糖尿病(NOD))免疫缺陷的和遗传模型( 例如 ,SCID, 的Rag2 – / – ),也可以使用4,14-16。它是公认的背景品系?…
