两种溃疡性结肠炎小鼠模型的构建及其炎症反应机制比较

Establishment of Two Murine Models of Ulcerative Colitis and Comparison of the Mechanism of Colitis-related Inflammatory Reactions

  • 摘要:
      目的  构建葡聚糖硫酸钠(dextransulfatesodium, DSS)以及恶唑酮(oxazolone, OXZ)诱导的小鼠溃疡性结肠炎模型, 比较两种模型中炎症因子水平的变化, 评价两种模型。
      方法  12只C57BL小鼠, 随机分为两组, DSS模型组(n=8)予3%DSS自由饮用5d, DSS对照组(n=4)饮用蒸馏水5d, 第6天处死两组小鼠。8只BALB/C小鼠, 随机分为两组, OXZ模型组(n=4)予皮肤涂抹3%OXZ(100%乙醇溶剂)0.2ml 2d, 5d后以0.8%OXZ(50%乙醇溶剂)0.15ml灌肠; OXZ对照组予皮肤涂抹100%乙醇0.2ml 2d, 5d后以50%乙醇0.15ml灌肠, 灌肠后第3天处死两组小鼠。观察各组小鼠疾病活动指数(disease activity index, DAI)、结肠组织大体评分和病理评分, 并检测小鼠结肠组织中髓过氧化物酶(myeloperoxidase, MPO)、白细胞介素-4(interleukin4, IL-4)、干扰素-γ(interferon-γ, IFN-γ)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α)、核因子κB(nuclear factor-Kappa B, NF-κB)的水平。
      结果  两种模型组小鼠DAI、组织大体评分和病理评分均较对照组有明显改变; DSS结肠炎、OXZ结肠炎均可导致MPO、TNF-α、NF-κB明显上升, DSS结肠炎IFN-γ明显上升, OXZ结肠炎IL-4明显上升。
      结论  DSS及OXZ均能诱导出小鼠溃疡性结肠炎模型, 其中OXZ诱导的小鼠溃疡性结肠炎是Th2型炎症反应, 更接近人类溃疡性结肠炎。

     

    Abstract:
      Objective  To establish two murine models of ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore the mechanism of colitits-related inflammatory reactions.
      Methods  Totally 12 C57BL mice were randomly divided into two groups:dextransulfatesodium (DSS) model group (n=8, allowed to drink 3% DSS for 5 days) and DSS control group (n=4, allowed to drink water for 5 days). In addition, 8 BALB/C mice were randomly divided into oxazolone (OXZ) model group(n=4, mice were skin-sensitized with 3% OXZ 0.2 ml in 100% ethanol for 2 days followed by intrarectal administration of 0.8% OXZ 0.15 ml in 50% ethanol 5 days later) and OXZ control group(n=4, mice were skin-sensitized with 100% ethanol for 2 days followed by intrarectal administration of 50% ethanol 0.15 ml 5 days later). The disease activity index (DAI), tissular general score, and histological score were calculated. The levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin 4 (IL-4), interferon-γ (INF-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and nuclear factor-Kappa B (NF-κB) in the colon tissue were determined.
      Results  DAI, tissular general score, and histological score were significantly different in either DSS or OXZ model group when compared with their control groups. MPO, TNF-α, and NF-κB significantly increased in DSS and OXZ model groups. In addition, INF-γ significantly increased in DSS model group and IL-4 significantly increased in OXZ model group.
      Conclusions  Both DSS and OXZ can induce ulcerative colitis in mice. OXZ-induced murine colitis is highly associated with T helper cell type 2 (Th2), which is more similar to human UC.
