摘要:

基因编辑小鼠模型优势显著,是人类基因功能研究、疾病机制探索和新药研发等理想的实验动物。基因编辑小鼠因自身生育力低下、年老、疾病等因素导致的品系断代会对科学研究造成不可挽回的损失。相关从业人员需针对不同情况采用相应的技术手段进行品系拯救,同时要综合考虑技术选择和成本控制,尽可能降低小鼠品系拯救的实验成本。首先,当仅存的处于生育年龄的基因编辑小鼠突然死亡时,对死亡雄鼠可以通过体外受精(in vitro fertilization,IVF)、单精子卵胞质显微注射(intracytoplasmic sperm injection,ICSI),对雌鼠可通过卵巢移植等技术进行品系拯救。其次,由于年老或疾病因素具有断代风险的小鼠,可以通过IVF-胚胎移植(embryo transfer,ET)、单侧附睾尾活体辅助生殖等技术进行品系拯救。再者,生命状态差的性成熟前小鼠,可以采用圆形精子注射(round spermatid injection,ROSI)或卵巢移植等技术进行品系拯救。本文对常用濒危小鼠品系拯救技术及其应用进行了探讨,以期为相关从业人员更好地做好基因编辑小鼠品系维护提供参考。

Abstract:

Gene-edited mice are the most ideal laboratory animals for studying human gene functions, exploring disease mechanisms, and developing new drugs. Strain resulting from low fertility, aging, illness, etc. can cause irreversible losses to scientific research, so strain rescues of genetically engineering mice require different measures accordingly. Meanwhile, cost control is another key point when a specific technology is applied. First of all, when the only remaining gene-edited mouse in reproductive age suddenly dies, the dead male mouse can be rescued by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), while the female mouse can be saved by ovarian transplantation, etc. Secondly, due to aging or diseases, mice can be saved through IVF-embryo transfer (ET) and unilateral epididymal tail assisted reproduction. Thirdly, round sperm injection (ROSI) and ovarian transplantation can be used to save endangered mice before sexual maturity with poor life status. This paper reviews rescue techniques of common endangered mice and their applications, which provides a reference for relevant practitioners to better maintain gene-edited mouse strains.
