    摘要:

    目的 建立内皮细胞条件性敲除 EMCN 基因小鼠模型,探讨 C57BL/ 6 小鼠与内皮细胞条件性敲除 EMCN 小鼠模型体内肿瘤肺转移存在的差异。 方法 将内皮细胞特异性 Tek-CreERT2 小鼠与 EMCNflox / flox小鼠杂交,将子代雄性 EMCNflox / wt / Tek-CreERT2+与雌性 EMCNflox / flox小鼠交配,取得内皮细胞特异性敲除 EMCN 基因小鼠 (EMCNflox / flox / Tek-CreERT2+ ,EMCNecko)。 通过在 DNA 和蛋白水平验证基因敲除准确性及效率,提取小鼠基因组 DNA 后,PCR 扩增检测 Tek-CreERT2 及 FLOX 位点,Tamoxifen 诱导后,Western Blot 检测组织中 EMCN 蛋白的表达。 对正常 C57BL/ 6 小鼠与 EMCNecko小鼠表型进行观察及脏器 HE 染色。 为了证实 EMCN 敲除对肿瘤转移的影响,将 LLC 细胞尾静脉注射 C57BL/ 6 与 EMCNecko小鼠,2 周后解剖取肺检测肺转移情况,并对 2 组小鼠的肺转移结果统计对比分析。 将 LLC 细胞皮下注射 C57BL/ 6 与 EMCNecko小鼠,2 周后手术切除皮下肿瘤,分别在术后 2、3 周观察肺转移情况,将两组肺组织进行 HE 染色,并对两组小鼠的肺转移结果统计对比分析。 结果 从 DNA 和蛋白水平证实 EMCNflox / flox / Tek-CreERT2+小鼠成功构建。 小鼠组织 HE 切片分析显示基因敲除小鼠脏器发育无异常。 尾静脉注射 LLC 及皮下注射 LLC 后切除肿瘤的 C57BL/ 6 和 EMCNecko小鼠均可以发生肺转移,与 C57BL/ 6 小鼠相比,内皮细胞 EMCN 的缺失显著促进了小鼠肺转移。 结论 成功获得内皮细胞 EMCN 条件性敲除小鼠,内皮细胞 EMCN 敲除小鼠肿瘤肺转移的能力显著优于正常 C57BL/ 6 小鼠,预期为肿瘤肺转移动物模型各项研究提供快速发生肺转移的动物模型。

    Abstract:

    Objective To establish an endothelial conditional EMCN-knockout mouse model and explore the differences between tumor lung metastases in these and C57BL/ 6 mice. Methods Endothelial-cell-specific Tek-creERT2 mice were mated with EMCNflox / flox mice. Male EMCNflox / wt / Tek-CreERT2+ mice were crossed with female EMCNflox / flox mice to acquire endothelial cell-specific EMCN-knockout mice ( EMCNflox / flox / Tek-CreERT2+ , EMCNecko ). To verify the gene knockout accuracy and efficiency at the DNA and protein level, the genomic DNA of mice was extracted, and the Tek- creERT2 and Flox sites were detected by PCR amplification. After tamoxifen induction, expression of the EMCN protein was detected on Western Blot. The phenotypes of normal C57BL/ 6 mice and EMCNecko mice were observed, and the organs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin ( HE). To confirm the effect of EMCN knockout on tumor metastasis, ( Lewis lung carcinoma, LLC) LLC cells were intravenously injected into C57BL/ 6 and EMCNecko mice. After 2 weeks, the lungs were dissected to detect metastasis, and the result for the two groups of mice were compared and analyzed. LLC cells were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/ 6 and EMCNecko mice. The subcutaneous tumors were removed 2 weeks later, and lung metastasis was observed 2 and 3 weeks after the operation. The lung tissues were stained with HE, and the metastasis result of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results We confirmed the successful construction of EMCNflox / flox / Tek- CreERT2+ mice at the gene and protein level. Preliminary phenotypic analysis showed no abnormal organ development in the gene-knockout mice. C57BL/ 6 and EMCNecko mice given intravenous injection and tumor resection after subcutaneous injection can develop lung metastases. Compared with C57BL/ 6 mice, the deletion of endothelial cell EMCN expression significantly promoted lung metastasis. Conclusions Endothelial-cell-specific EMCN-knockout mice were successfully obtained. The frequency of lung metastasis in endothelial cell EMCN-knockout mice was significantly higher than that in normal C57BL/ 6 mice. This approach is expected to provide an efficient lung metastasis animal model for the study of tumor metastasis .
