    摘要:

    目的 通过CRISPR/Cas9技术构建Uox基因敲除且能稳定遗传的小鼠品系,并评价其是否能够模拟高尿酸血症患者的疾病特点。方法 在Uox基因Exon 2 ~ 4的前后两侧设计双sgRNA,将基因敲除所需的sgRNA与Cas9 mRNA按照一定比例显微注射进小鼠的受精卵中,培养2 ~ 4 h后,将胚胎移植至代孕母鼠体内并最终获得F0代小鼠。对F0代小鼠进行PCR鉴定与测序分析,筛选适合的Uox基因阳性敲除小鼠与野生型小鼠合笼获得F1代,再挑选F1代中杂合子雌鼠与雄鼠合笼得到纯合的F2代小鼠。最后检测纯合子与野生型小鼠血清中尿酸、肌酐、尿素、ALT、AST的含量并进行对比,通过HE染色结合Masson染色观察肾脏和肝脏组织的病理变化。结果 与野生型小鼠相比,Uox-/-小鼠血清中的尿酸(雄鼠:478.4 ± 114.6 μmol/L,P<0.001;雌鼠507.7 ± 129.6 μmol/L,P<0.001)、肌酐(91.8 ± 55.6 μmol/L,P<0.001)、尿素(28.6 ± 13.9 mmol/L,P<0.05)、ALT(53.3 ± 23.3 U/L,P<0.01)及AST(203.3 ± 70.3 U/L,P<0.001)水平均显著升高。组织病理学结果显示,Uox-/-小鼠的肝脏中可见中量肝细胞变性,肾脏中可见中重度的肾小管囊性扩张、变性和纤维化,肾小球肥大增生,小血管扩张充血,间质单核及淋巴细胞浸润。结论 通过CRISPR/Cas9技术成功构建了Uox基因Exon 2敲除的小鼠纯合品系,与高尿酸血症患者的相关指标一致,可以作为高尿酸领域相关研究的动物模型。

    Abstract:

    Objective CRISPR/Cas9 is used to construct the uricase-deficient mouse with stable inheritance, which is evaluated whether it can simulate the disease characteristics of hyperuricemia patients. Method Double sgRNAs were designed on both sides of Exon 2-4 of the Uox gene. The sgRNA and Cas9mRNA required for gene knockout was microinjected into the fertilized eggs of mice in a certain ratio. After 2-4 hours of cultivation, the embryos were transferred to surrogate mother mice to get F0 generation. PCR identification and sequencing analysis were performed on F0 mice to sift positive mice with the knockout of Uox gene. Then, positive mice were mated with wild-type mice for F1 generation. Heterozygous female and male mice of F1 generation were then selected to obtain homozygous F2 mice. Finally, the levels of uric acid, creatinine, urea, ALT, and AST in the serum of homozygous and wild-type mice were detected and compared. The pathological changes in kidney and liver tissues were observed through HE staining and Masson staining. Result Compared with wild-type mice, the levels of the uric acid (male mice: 478.4 ± 114.6 μmol/L, P<0.001; female mice: 507.7 ± 129.6 μmol/L, P<0.001), creatinine (91.8 ± 55.6 μmol/L, P<0.001), urea (28.6 ± 13.9 mmol/L, P<0.05), ALT (53.3 ± 23.3 U/L, P<0.01), and AST (203.3 ± 70.3 U/L, P<0.001) in the serum of Uox-/- mice were significantly increased. The histopathological results showed moderate hepatocyte degeneration in the liver, moderate to severe tubular cystic dilation, degeneration, and fibrosis in the kidney, glomerular hypertrophy and hyperplasia, small vessel dilation and congestion, and infiltration of stromal monocytes and lymphocytes for the Uox-/- mice. Conclusion The homozygous uricase-deficient mouse strain is successfully constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which is consistent with the relevant indicators of hyperuricemia patients and can be used as an animal model for research in the field of hyperuricemia.
