Bu makalede, biz detay yenidoğan farelerin subventriküler bölgesini çevreleyen hücrelerin içine onkojenik plazmid DNA SB transposase- aracılı entegrasyon kullanarak GBM yeni modeller üretmek için çok yönlü ve tekrarlanabilir bir yöntem. Biz yeni ilgi genleri ile Transposon plasmidlerini oluşturmak için bir protokol mevcut, canlı hayvanlarda tümörlerin ilerlemesini izlemek için nasıl, bu tümörlerin histopatolojik ve immunohistokimyasal özellikleri karakterize nasıl göstermektedir. <p class="...

Cerrahi, radyasyon tedavisi, kemoterapi ve 1 ile tedavi edildiklerinde glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) 15-21 aylık bir medyan sağkalım, erişkinlerde en sık (% 60) primer beyin tümörü olduğunu. GBM için yeni tedaviler zorunludur. Deneysel tedaviler yeterince insan hastalığının belirgin özelliklerini yeniden hayvan modellerinde test gerektirir. Kemirgenler glioma hücre hatları 2 kullanılarak kimyasal alkilleyici ajanlarla mutagenezini, mikrop hattı veya somatik genetik değişiklikler, ya nakli dahil Stratejiler GBM ikna etmek. En yaygın olarak kullanılan model, beyin içine veya deri altına aynı genotipe sahip hayvanlarda singeneik hücreleri kullanılarak, ya da ortotopikal, glioma hücre hatlarının implantasyonu kullanır; veya ksenojenik hücreler, bağışıklık implante en yaygın insan GBM hücre çizgileri, fare 3 ele geçirildi. Ksenogratflardır intrakranial tümörlerin çalışma için birçok avantaj sunuyoruz: tekrarlanabilirlik kolaylık, Standardized büyüme oranları, ölüm ve tümör lokalizasyonu zamanı. Sözde pallisading nekroz, nükleer atypias, yaygın işgali, mikro-vasküler proliferasyon: implantasyonu ve doğru histolojik yeniden sınırlı yeteneği için kullanılan yapay, invaziv cerrahi yaklaşım insan GBM (WHO Evre IV) karakteristik özellikleri nedeniyle Ancak, bu modeller sınırlamaları var ve glomerüloid vasküler oluşumu 4-7 anormallikler. Onkojenik DNA ile, ya viral vektörlerin 8-12 veya transpozon-aracılı entegrasyon 13 ile somatik hücre genomu değiştirerek GBM İndüksiyon, daha yakından insan hastalığı etyolojisi üretir ve insan GBM histopatolojik özellikleri tartışıldı. Tarihsel, MSS tümörleri sınıflandırılmış gözlendi kökenli algılanan hücreye dayalı olan, hayatta kalma 14 açısından belirleyici bir faktör olacaktır. GBMs birincil ve ikincil olarak sınıflandırılır. Gelişen kanıtlar today birincil glioblastoma 15 derece heterojen doğasına işaret. İkincil GBM (% 15), düşük dereceli astrositom (WHO grade I) ve anaplasic astrositomların malign transformasyon sonucu (WHO grade II), hastalığın erken başlaması, daha iyi prognoz ve gen ifadesinin bir &quot;proneural&quot; modeli ile ilişkili olan primer GBM (% 85) ise geç başlangıçlı, kötü prognoz ve glial (klasik), sinirsel ya da mezenkimal ifade kalıplarını göstermektedir. Gen ifadesinin bu kalıplar tümörün köken gerçek hücre ile ilişkili olsun hala aktif araştırılmaktadır. Veri Biriken GBM&#39;lerde ile ilişkili genetik mutasyonlar kombinasyonu yaşam için öngörü olduğunu göstermektedir. Örneğin, kromozom 1p / 19q, IDH1 mutasyonları, PDGFRα amplifikasyonlar, bir heterozygocity kaybı (LOH) EGFR ekspresyonu, Notch ve Sonic kirpi yolu aktivasyonu, Nf ise, ikincil GBM&#39;lerde, proneural ifade desen ve daha iyi prognoz ile ilişkili1 ve PTEN kaybı ve p53 mutasyonları nöral, klasik, ya da mezenkimal birincil GBM ve kötü prognoz 16,17 ile ilişkilidir. Büyük ölçekli projelerin sıralama gelişi ve test için kullanılabilir sayısız hasta örneklerinin birikimi GBM patogenezinde ve ilerlemesinde ve tedaviler özellikle uygun olabilir bireyselleştirilmiş tıp, olasılığı karıştığı genetik mutasyonlar ve yollar ile ilgili yeni bilgi hazinesi getiriyor Hastanın genetik anormallikler. Sonuçta, sistematik bir şekilde bu mutasyonların ve yolların öngörü değerini değerlendirmek için, ve her durumda olası tedaviler test etmek için, önceden belirlenmiş genetik değişikliklerle GBM hayvan modelleri gerektirmektedir. Genomik DNA transpozon aracılı entegrasyon uygun bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Sleeping Beauty transpozon sistemi, transposonların Tc1 / denizci sınıfının üyesi, bir çok adım prosedürü içinde (inşa) &quot;uyanmış&quot; olduatıl fazla 10 milyon yıl önce 18,19 oldu bir salmonoid transposaz geni, site özel mutajenez ss. Özünde, belirli dizileri (ters tekrarlar / doğrudan tekrarlar: IR / DR) tarafından çevrili DNA transposonlar Sleeping Beauty transpozazın faaliyet vasıtasıyla &quot;kes ve yapıştır&quot; şekilde genomuna entegre edilebilir. transposaz, IR siteleri uçlarını tanır transpozonun excises ve bazlar, T ve A, transpozisyon (Şekil 1a) sırasında transpozonun her sonunda çoğaltılır bazlar arasında başka bir DNA siteye rastgele bütünleştirir. Uyku Güzellik transposaz üç alanda, bir transpozon bağlama alanı, bir nükleer lokalizasyon dizisi ve katalitik bir etki oluşturmaktadır. Dört transposaz moleküllerin bir araya transpozonun iki ucunu getirmek ve aktarılması için izin transpozazın çok molekülleri mevcut olan, ancak, bunlar dimerize ve önlenmesi için tetramerize gerekmektedirtranspozisyon reaksiyonu 20. Verimli bir transpozisyon reaksiyon transposonların için transpozazın optimal oranı gerektirir. Transposaz kodlayan DNA (cis olarak) transposon aynı plazmid veya (trans) farklı bir plazmid üzerinde temin edilebilir. Transpozaz ve transpozonlar arasında optimal oranı sağlamak için, yeterli bir etkinliğe sahip bir promotörü ((&quot;cis&quot; modeli için) transpozazın ifadesi ya da optimize edilebilir, enjeksiyon çözeltisi içinde plasmidlerin oranı seçilebilir &quot;Trans&quot; modeli). Sleeping Beauty Transpozon sistemi fonksiyonel genomik ekleme mütajenezi, transgenesis ve somatik gen terapisi 21 başarıyla kullanılabilir. Sentetik yapı, bir atıl salmonoid varyantı fonksiyonel molekül için yeniden tasarlanmış olan uyku güzellik transposaz, insanlarda ve diğer memelilerde 20 diğer transpozonlar bağlanmaz. Keşfedilmesinden bu yana, moleküler mühendislik donanımlrn vardıred IR dizileri ve TATA dinükleotidleri, transpozonun yan pT2 transposonların sonuçlanan eklenmesiyle değişiklikler yoluyla SB transpozonu sisteminin aktarılması etkinliği. Bu transposonlar IR sitesine SB bağlama optimize edilmiş ve eksizyon etkinliğini artırmıştır. SB transposaz da önemli bir gelişme göstermiştir; Burada sunulan Deneylerde kullanılan transposaz SB100X, memeli hücrelerinde 22 büyük çaplı bir genetik ekranından sonra bir DNA karıştırma stratejisi tarafından üretilen bir hiperaktif transposaz olup. Bu yazıda yenidoğan farelerin 23 alt-ventriküler bölgenin hücrelerine plazmid DNA viral olmayan, transpozon-aracılı entegrasyonu ile farelerde iç GBM ikna etmek için hızlı, çok yönlü ve tekrarlanabilir bir yöntem sunuyoruz. Biz Sleeping Beauty transposase kullanarak genomik entegrasyon için mükellef yeni genlerle transpozonlar oluşturmak ve plazmid alımını izlemek için nasıl göstermek için basit bir yol sunmak veışıldaması kullanarak hastalığın ilerlemesi. Biz de bu model ile yeniden GBM histolojik ve immunohistokimyasal özellikleri karakterize. Buna ek olarak, bu tümörler birincil GBM hücre hatları oluşturmak için hızlı bir yöntem sunulmaktadır. Tümörler hayvan orijinal hücrelerden kaynaklı olduğu Sleeping Beauty modeli, indüksiyon ve tümörlerin gelişiminde aday GBM genlerin rolü fonksiyonel değerlendirilmesini sağlar. Bu sistem, aynı zamanda, yerel mikro-değiştirebilir invaziv enflamatuar cerrahi prosedürlerin gerek olmaksızın, bağışıklık-kompetan farelerde bağışıklık terapisi de dahil olmak üzere, yeni GBM tedaviler, test edilmesi için uygundur.

transposon mediated integration of plasmid dna into the subventricular zone of neonatal mice to generate novel models of glioblastoma

An urgent need exists to test the contribution of new genes to the pathogenesis and progression of human glioblastomas (GBM), the most common primary brain tumor in adults with dismal prognosis. New potential therapies are rapidly emerging from the bench and require systematic testing in experimental models which closely reproduce the salient features of the human disease. Herein we describe in detail a method to induce new models of GBM with transposon-mediated integration of plasmid DNA into cells of the subventricular zone of neonatal mice. We present a simple way to clone new transposons amenable for genomic integration using the Sleeping Beauty transposon system and illustrate how to monitor plasmid uptake and disease progression using bioluminescence, histology and immuno-histochemistry. We also describe a method to create new primary GBM cell lines. Ideally, this report will allow further dissemination of the Sleeping Beauty transposon system among brain tumor researchers, leading to an in depth understanding of GBM pathogenesis and progression and to the timely design and testing of effective therapies for patients.

Use of Animal Model of Sepsis to Evaluate Novel Herbal Therapies

Sepsis refers to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from a microbial infection. It has been routinely simulated in animals by several techniques, including infusion of exogenous bacterial toxin (endotoxemia) or bacteria (bacteremia), as well as surgical perforation of the cecum by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)1-3. CLP allows bacteria spillage and fecal contamination of the peritoneal cavity, mimicking the human clinical disease of perforated appendicitis or diverticulitis. The severity of sepsis, as reflected by the eventual mortality rates, can be controlled surgically by varying the size of the needle used for cecal puncture2. In animals, CLP induces similar, biphasic hemodynamic cardiovascular, metabolic, and immunological responses as observed during the clinical course of human sepsis3. Thus, the CLP model is considered as one of the most clinically relevant models for experimental sepsis1-3.
Various animal models have been used to elucidate the intricate mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of experimental sepsis. The lethal consequence of sepsis is attributable partly to an excessive accumulation of early cytokines (such as TNF, IL-1 and IFN-&gamma;)4-6 and late proinflammatory mediators (e.g., HMGB1)7. Compared with early proinflammatory cytokines, late-acting mediators have a wider therapeutic window for clinical applications. For instance, delayed administration of HMGB1-neutralizing antibodies beginning 24 hours after CLP, still rescued mice from lethality8,9, establishing HMGB1 as a late mediator of lethal sepsis. The discovery of HMGB1 as a late-acting mediator has initiated a new field of investigation for the development of sepsis therapies using Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine. In this paper, we describe a procedure of CLP-induced sepsis, and its usage in screening herbal medicine for HMGB1-targeting therapies.

Sepsis refers to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from a microbial infection, and can be simulated by a surgical technique termed cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Here we describe a method to use CLP-induced animal model to screen medicinal herbs for therapeutic agents.

Identification of Sleeping Beauty Transposon Insertions in Solid Tumors using Linker-mediated PCR

Genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic analyses of human tumors indicate that there are thousands of anomalies within each cancer genome compared to matched normal tissue. Based on these analyses it is evident that there are many undiscovered genetic drivers of cancer1. Unfortunately these drivers are hidden within a much larger number of passenger anomalies in the genome that do not directly contribute to tumor formation. Another aspect of the cancer genome is that there is considerable genetic heterogeneity within similar tumor types. Each tumor can harbor different mutations that provide a selective advantage for tumor formation2. Performing an unbiased forward genetic screen in mice provides the tools to generate tumors and analyze their genetic composition, while reducing the background of passenger mutations. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is one such method3. The SB system utilizes mobile vectors (transposons) that can be inserted throughout the genome by the transposase enzyme. Mutations are limited to a specific cell type through the use of a conditional transposase allele that is activated by Cre Recombinase. Many mouse lines exist that express Cre Recombinase in specific tissues. By crossing one of these lines to the conditional transposase allele (e.g. Lox-stop-Lox-SB11), the SB system is activated only in cells that express Cre Recombinase. The Cre Recombinase will excise a stop cassette that blocks expression of the transposase allele, thereby activating transposon mutagenesis within the designated cell type. An SB screen is initiated by breeding three strains of transgenic mice so that the experimental mice carry a conditional transposase allele, a concatamer of transposons, and a tissue-specific Cre Recombinase allele. These mice are allowed to age until tumors form and they become moribund. The mice are then necropsied and genomic DNA is isolated from the tumors. Next, the genomic DNA is subjected to linker-mediated-PCR (LM-PCR) that results in amplification of genomic loci containing an SB transposon. LM-PCR performed on a single tumor will result in hundreds of distinct amplicons representing the hundreds of genomic loci containing transposon insertions in a single tumor4. The transposon insertions in all tumors are analyzed and common insertion sites (CISs) are identified using an appropriate statistical method5. Genes within the CIS are highly likely to be oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, and are considered candidate cancer genes. The advantages of using the SB system to identify candidate cancer genes are: 1) the transposon can easily be located in the genome because its sequence is known, 2) transposition can be directed to almost any cell type and 3) the transposon is capable of introducing both gain- and loss-of-function mutations6. The following protocol describes how to devise and execute a forward genetic screen using the SB transposon system to identify candidate cancer genes (Figure 1).

Image-guided Convection-enhanced Delivery into Agarose Gel Models of the Brain

Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) has been proposed as a treatment option for a wide range of neurological diseases. Neuroinfusion catheter CED allows for positive pressure bulk flow to deliver greater quantities of therapeutics to an intracranial target than traditional drug delivery methods. The clinical utility of real time MRI guided CED (rCED) lies in the ability to accurately target, monitor therapy, and identify complications. With training, rCED is efficient and complications may be minimized. The agarose gel model of the brain provides an accessible tool for CED testing, research, and training. Simulated brain rCED allows practice of the mock surgery while also providing visual feedback of the infusion. Analysis of infusion allows for calculation of the distribution fraction (Vd/Vi) allowing the trainee to verify the similarity of the model as compared to human brain tissue. This article describes our agarose gel brain phantom and outlines important metrics during a CED infusion and analysis protocols while addressing common pitfalls faced during CED infusion for the treatment of neurological disease.

Orthotopic Injection of Breast Cancer Cells into the Mammary Fat Pad of Mice to Study Tumor Growth.

Breast cancer growth can be studied in mice using a plethora of models. Genetic manipulation of breast cancer cells may provide insights into the functions of proteins involved in oncogenic progression or help to discover new tumor suppressors. In addition, injecting cancer cells into mice with different genotypes might provide a better understanding of the importance of the stromal compartment. Many models may be useful to investigate certain aspects of disease progression but do not recapitulate the entire cancerous process. In contrast, breast cancer cells engraftment to the mammary fat pad of mice better recapitulates the location of the disease and presence of the proper stromal compartment and therefore better mimics human cancerous disease. In this article, we describe how to implant breast cancer cells into mice orthotopically and explain how to collect tissues to analyse the tumor milieu and metastasis to distant organs. Using this model, many aspects (growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis) of cancer can be investigated simply by providing a proper environment for tumor cells to grow.

Cancer is a complex disease that is influenced by the tissue surrounding the tumor as well as local pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Therefore, orthotropic injection models, rather than subcutaneous models may be useful to study cancer progression in a manner that better mimics human pathology.

Mouse Kidney Transplantation: Models of Allograft Rejection

Rejection of the transplanted kidney in humans is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The mouse model of renal transplantation closely replicates both the technical and pathological processes that occur in human renal transplantation. Although mouse models of allogeneic rejection in organs other than the kidney exist, and are more technically feasible, there is evidence that different organs elicit disparate rejection modes and dynamics, for instance the time course of rejection in cardiac and renal allograft differs significantly in certain strain combinations. This model is an attractive tool for many reasons despite its technical challenges. As inbred mouse strain haplotypes are well characterized it is possible to choose donor and recipient combinations to model acute allograft rejection by transplanting across MHC class I and II loci. Conversely by transplanting between strains with similar haplotypes a chronic process can be elicited were the allograft kidney develops interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. We have modified the surgical technique to reduce operating time and improve ease of surgery, however a learning curve still needs to be overcome in order to faithfully replicate the model. This study will provide key points in the surgical procedure and aid the process of establishing this technique.

Here, we present a protocol to study the immunology of rejection. The surgical model presented reports a short operating time and a concise technique. Depending on the donor-recipient strain combination, the transplanted kidney may develop acute cellular rejection or chronic allograft damage, defined by interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy.

A Piglet Model of Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Birth asphyxia, which causes hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), accounts for 0.66 million deaths worldwide each year, about a quarter of the world&#8217;s 2.9 million neonatal deaths. Animal models of HIE have contributed to the understanding of the pathophysiology in HIE, and have highlighted the dynamic process that occur in brain injury due to perinatal asphyxia. Thus, animal studies have suggested a time-window for post-insult treatment strategies. Hypothermia has been tested as a treatment for HIE in pdiglet models and subsequently proven effective in clinical trials. Variations of the model have been applied in the study of adjunctive neuroprotective methods and piglet studies of xenon and melatonin have led to clinical phase I and II trials1,2. The piglet HIE model is further used for neonatal resuscitation- and hemodynamic studies as well as in investigations of cerebral hypoxia on a cellular level. However, it is a technically challenging model and variations in the protocol may result in either too mild or too severe brain injury. In this article, we demonstrate the technical procedures necessary for establishing a stable piglet model of neonatal HIE. First, the newborn piglet (&#60; 24 hr old, median weight 1500 g) is anesthetized, intubated, and monitored in a setup comparable to that found in a neonatal intensive care unit. Global hypoxia-ischemia is induced by lowering the inspiratory oxygen fraction to achieve global hypoxia, ischemia through hypotension and a flat trace amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) indicative of cerebral hypoxia. Survival is promoted by adjusting oxygenation according to the aEEG response and blood pressure. Brain injury is quantified by histopathology and magnetic resonance imaging after 72 hr.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia can be studied using animal models. We demonstrate the procedures necessary for establishing a piglet model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Surgical Models of Gastroesophageal Reflux with Mice

Multiple surgical procedures have been reported to induce gastroesophageal reflux in animals. Herein, we report three surgical models with mice aiming to induce reflux of gastric contents, duodenal contents or mixed contents. Surgical procedures and general principles have been described in detail. A researcher with surgical experience should be able to grasp the technique after a short period of practice. After surgery, most mice can survive and develop reflux esophagitis similar to that in humans. However, it should be noted that histological differences between mouse and human esophagus are the inherent limitations of these surgical models. If used for research on Barrett&#8217;s esophagus and adenocarcinoma, these procedures may need to be combined with genetic modifications.

This article demonstrates surgical procedures of gastroesophageal reflux with mice. These models are useful tools for research on mechanisms and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and potentially Barrett&#8217;s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Myocardial Infarction in Neonatal Mice, A Model of Cardiac Regeneration

Myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation has been used in many animal models as a tool to study the mechanisms of cardiac repair and regeneration, and to define new targets for therapeutics. For decades, models of complete heart regeneration existed in amphibians and fish, but a mammalian counterpart was not available. The recent discovery of a postnatal window during which mice possess regenerative capabilities has led to the establishment of a mammalian model of cardiac regeneration. A surgical model of mammalian cardiac regeneration in the neonatal mouse is presented herein. Briefly, postnatal day 1 (P1) mice are anesthetized by isoflurane and placed on an ice pad to induce hypothermia. After the chest is opened, and the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is visualized, a suture is placed around the LAD to inflict myocardial ischemia in the left ventricle. The surgical procedure takes 10-15 min. Visualizing the coronary artery is crucial for accurate suture placement and reproducibility. Myocardial infarction and cardiac dysfunction are confirmed by triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and echocardiography, respectively. Complete regeneration 21 days post myocardial infarction is verified by histology. This protocol can be used to as a tool to elucidate mechanisms of mammalian cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction.

This protocol describes a highly reproducible model of cardiac regeneration by surgical induction of myocardial infarction in the left ventricle of postnatal day 1 mice. The method involves induction of hypothermic anesthesia and ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

In Vivo Photolabeling of Cells in the Colon to Assess Migratory Potential of Hematopoietic Cells in Neonatal Mice

Enteric bacterial communities are established early in life and influence immune cell development and function. The neonatal microbiota is susceptible to numerous external influences including antibiotics use and diet, which impacts susceptibility to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Disorders such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are characterized by a massive influx of immune cells to the intestines. However, immune cells conditioned by the microbiota may additionally emigrate out of the intestines to influence immune responses at extra-intestinal sites. Thus, there is a need to identify and characterize cells that may carry microbial messages from the intestines to distal sites. Here, we describe a method to label cells in the colon of newborn mice in vivo that enables their identification at extra-intestinal sites after migration.

Full-Endoscopic Isolation Zone Technique for the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a type of serious sinus or sciatic nerve dysfunction caused by nucleus pulposus protrusion and annulus fibrosus tears. Its clinical symptoms often include severe low back pain, limited lumbar movement, sciatic nerve pain in the lower limbs, and even cauda equina syndrome. The common treatment for LDH is a conservative treatment scheme involving medicine, rest, and physical therapy. However, if the conservative treatment scheme is ineffective, a surgical treatment approach is adopted. Traditional open lumbar surgery has some disadvantages, including the potential for severe surgical trauma, severe blood loss during the operation, instability of the lumbar spine, and loss of the lumbar motor unit. Among the minimally invasive surgical schemes, full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) is undoubtedly the most appropriate and has the advantages of minimal trauma, high safety, quick postoperative recovery, and the retention of the stable structure and the motor unit of the lumbar spine. However, simultaneously, incomplete removal of the nucleus pulposus and residual nerve dysfunction after surgery can occur. To avoid these shortcomings, we studied a specific spinal endoscopy technique, the "isolation zone" surgical strategy, which can effectively block the pain from the nerve conduction pathway by completely relieving the nerve compression and nerve dysfunction through the orderly treatment of the protruding nucleus pulposus, the fissure of the annulus fibrosus, the sinus nerve, and the surrounding inflammatory soft tissues.

Here, we present a protocol for the &#34;isolation zone&#34; technique in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) under full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS), including intervertebral foramen formation, targeted catheterization, nucleus pulposus resection, and annulus fibrosus formation, which together completely block the pain from the nerve conduction pathway.
