大鼠中敲除SOD1导致肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)表型
SOD1 knockout in rats leads to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)
摘要
Abstract
Objective To establish superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1)-knockout rats and analyze the neurological disease phenotypes.Methods SOD1-knockout rats were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing.Protein expression was validated by Western Blot.Knockout rats were crossed with wild-type rats to assess stable inheritance through generations.Phenotypic analyses included monitoring body mass and survival curves,histopathological examination,behavioral tests,motor neuron changes,and neuroinflammation.Results Genotypic analysis demonstrated successful establishment of SOD1-knockout rats,whichs showed altered morphology and reduced body mass,indicating impaired development.Behavioral tests also revealed impaired motor function,exhibiting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)-like phenotypes.Pathological findings included reduced L4 motor neurons in the lumbar spinal cord,microglial infiltration,and decreased cell number and cross-sectional area in the gastrocnemius muscle.Conclusions We successfully established SOD1-knockout rats exhibiting key pathological features of ALS.This model provides a valuable platform for investigating the role of SOD1 role in the pathogenesis and mechanism of ALS.关键词
