    摘要:

    目的 探讨结肠炎相关性结肠癌(colitis-associated colon cancer,CAC)小鼠模型不同时间点肠道病理发展的动态变化特征。 方法 采用偶氮甲烷(AOM)/葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)构建C57BL/6小鼠结肠炎癌模型,分别在造模后的第7、10、14周3个时间点取材,观测小鼠脾指数、结肠长度、质量及结肠单位长度质量;苏木素-伊红(HE)、Masson染色观察小鼠结肠病理学变化特征;实时荧光定量逆转录PCR法检测不同病理阶段肿瘤干细胞标记物CD44及Wnt信号通路Wnt2b、Lrp5、Axin2、Znrf3基因表达;多重免疫荧光组化(mIHC)和细胞免疫荧光(IF)检测成纤维细胞活化蛋白(fibroblast activation protein,FAP)、CD44、增殖标记物Ki67、杯状细胞MUC2蛋白表达。同时,体外分离培养第10、14周模型小鼠来源的结肠类器官,观察类器官的形态及特征标记物变化。 结果 AOM/DSS诱导7周模型小鼠结肠病理表现为隐窝结构减少、扭曲、分支等变化,伴随少量胶原纤维沉积,10、14周模型小鼠结肠呈现不同程度上皮内瘤变,并随着时间延长出现高级别上皮内瘤变的比例增加,胶原纤维沉积范围增多,伴随结肠长度缩短、肠壁增厚,脾增大等现象。与正常组相比,第14周模型小鼠结肠CD44、Wnt2b表达显著升高(P<0.05),Axin2表达下降(P<0.01)。与第7周相比, Wnt2b、Lrp5、Znrf3表达升高(P<0.01、P<0.05、P<0.01),Axin2表达下降(P<0.01)。多重免疫荧光组化染色显示:第10、14周模型小鼠结肠FAP、CD44表达增多,而MUC2表达降低。其来源的体外类器官呈现囊球样扩张,尤以14周模型来源的类器官更为突出,Ki67和CD44在14周模型来源的类器官中表达明显增强。 结论 AOM/DSS诱导的小鼠模型在7、10、14周可分别呈现结肠慢性炎症、低级别上皮内瘤变、高级别上皮内瘤变为主的动态病理改变,病变区域以成纤维细胞激活及上皮细胞异常增殖为特征。

    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the dynamic characteristics of intestinal pathological development at different time points in a mouse model of colitis-associated colon cancer. Methods A colitis-cancer model was established in C57BL/6 mice using azoxymethane (AOM) combined with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Samples were collected at 7, 10, and 14 weeks post-modeling and the spleen index, colon length, mass, and colon mass per unit length were measured. Histopathological changes in the colon were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson staining. Expression levels of the cancer stem cell marker CD44 and Wnt signaling pathway genes Wnt2b, Lrp5, Axin2, and Znrf3 at different pathological stages were detected by reverse transcription quantitative real time PCR. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (FAP), CD44, the proliferation marker Ki67, and goblet cell MUC2 protein were detected by multiple immunofluorescence histochemistry (mIHC) and immunofluorescence. In addition, colon organoids were isolated from model mice at ten and fourteen weeks and cultured in vitro to observe changes in organoid morphology and marker expression. Results AOM/DSS-induced mice showed reduced, distorted, and branched colon crypt structures with a few collagen fibers at 7 weeks, and varying degrees of colon intraepithelial neoplasia, with an increased proportion of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia over time and increased collagen fiber staining at ten and fourteen weeks. mRNA levels of CD44 and Wnt2b in the colon were significantly increased (P<0.05) and Axin2 was decreased (P<0.01) in model mice compared with control mice at fourteen week, and levels of Wnt2b, Lrp5, and Znrf3 were increased compared with seven-week mice (P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01), and Axin2 was decreased (P<0.01). mIHC staining showed increased expression of FAP and CD44 in the colon in model mice at ten and fourteen weeks, with decreased MUC2 expression. Colon organoids showed cystic dilation, especially at fourteen weeks, with more prominent expression of Ki67 and CD44. Conclusions The AOM/DSS-induced mouse model exhibited chronic colonic inflammation, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia at seven, ten, and fourteen weeks, respectively. The pathological microenvironment was characterized by fibroblast activation and abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells.
