    摘要:

    目的 利用Myf6-CreERT2小鼠与FLExDUX4小鼠构建面肩肱肌营养不良症(facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, FSHD)转基因小鼠,并采用他莫昔芬诱导构建FSHD疾病小鼠模型。方法 利用Myf6-CreERT2半合子小鼠与FLExDUX4半合子小鼠杂交获得双转基因杂合子小鼠(M6D4/+),在3周龄时使用他莫昔芬诱导该小鼠表达全长DUX4(DUX4-fl),通过9周龄时小鼠体重变化、四肢抓力、倒置网格实验、骨骼肌占体重比、骨骼肌石蜡切片苏木素伊红染色、天狼星红染色及免疫荧光、实时荧光定量PCR、骨骼肌RNA-seq等实验评估该疾病模型。结果 成功获得双转基因杂合子小鼠(M6D4/+),9周龄时该小鼠与对照组相比,在生理方面表现出体重增加下降、四肢抓力及耐力下降、骨骼肌比重下降;组织病理方面出现中央核肌纤维增多、肌束纤维化程度增高等骨骼肌受损表现;RT-PCR分析发现DUX4及其靶向基因在骨骼肌中表达明显上调;RNA-seq结果显示免疫调控、白细胞介素6、肿瘤坏死因子相关基因的表达上调,骨骼肌发育和分化相关基因的表达下调。结论 M6D4/+小鼠很好地模拟了FSHD的骨骼肌表型,是一种良好的FSHD动物模型,可用于FSHD的致病机制及干预、治疗研究。

    Abstract:

    Objective Establishing a transgenic mouse model for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) using Myf6-CreERT2 mice and FLExDUX4 mice. And using tamoxifen induction to construct a mouse model of FSHD disease. Methods The dual transgenic mice (M6D4/+), were generated by crossbreeding Myf6-CreERT2 hemizygous mice with FLExDUX4 hemizygous mice, with full length DUX4 (DUX4-fl) expression induced by tamoxifen starting at 3 weeks of age. At the age of 9 weeks, the disease model was evaluated through experiments such as changes in body weight, four-limb strength, inverted screen test, skeletal muscle weight ratio, H E staining, Picrosirius Red staining and immunofluorescence of skeletal muscle paraffin section staining, quantitative real-time PCR, and RNA-seq of skeletal muscle. Results The dual transgenic heterozygous mice (M6D4/+) were successfully obtained. At 9 weeks, these mice exhibited significant physiological and pathological changes, including delayed weight gain, reduced four-limb strength and endurance, decreased skeletal muscle weight ratio, increases in centrally nucleated muscle fibers and fibrosis. RT-PCR revealed that the expression of DUX4 and its targeted genes were significantly upregulated in skeletal muscle. RNA-seq results revealed upregulation of immune regulation, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor related genes, while downregulation of skeletal muscle development and differentiation related genes. Conclusion M6D4/+ mice effectively simulated the skeletal muscle phenotype of FSHD and are a good animal model for FSHD, which can be used for research on the pathogenesis, intervention, and treatment of FSHD.
