摘要:

肺动脉高压(pulmonary hypertension,PH)是一种以肺动脉压力持续升高为特征,致使右心室负荷加重,最终可能引发右心衰竭的疾病。PH发病机制涉及多个维度,包括血管内皮功能障碍、血管平滑肌增殖、炎性反应、血栓形成及遗传因素等多个方面。动物模型作为研究PH发病机制和开发治疗策略的核心工具,其不同类型均有各自的独特优势与局限性。单剂量注射野百合碱(monocrotaline,MCT)诱导模型是最常用的实验性PH动物模型之一,被广泛应用于PH的机制研究、药物筛选与疗效评价。该模型操作简便、成本较低,可以在短时间内诱导出PH,但其病理生理机制与人类特发性PH存在一定差异。相比之下,Sugen5416联合慢性低氧诱导的PH模型能较好地模拟PH的发生发展过程,该模型通过将动物置于低氧环境中发生肺血管收缩及重塑,但其造模周期较长,且低氧程度对结果影响较大。除以上2种常用的模型构建方法外,还有多种新兴技术应用于PH研究,如基因编辑工程可以精准探究特定基因在PH中的功能;诱导多能干细胞结合3D类器官技术可以依托个体化建模,保留患者遗传信息,从而打造精准临床转化。每种模型或技术都能从不同层面模拟人类PH的病理过程,其研究成果为理解PH疾病本质提供了关键线索,也为新型治疗靶点的研发提供了重要平台。本文对PH研究用多种动物模型及其新兴技术进行综合性描述,深入分析了各模型/技术的特点、应用场景及局限性,以期为研发新治疗策略和药物提供实验技术支持。

Abstract:

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), marked by sustained elevation of pulmonary artery pressure, imposes a heavy burden on the right ventricle and may culminate in right heart failure. Its pathogenesis is multifaceted, encompassing endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle proliferation, inflammation, thrombosis, and genetic factors. Animal models serve as core tools for exploring PH mechanisms and therapies, each with unique strengths and limitations. The single-dose monocrotaline (MCT) model is one of the most commonly used experimental animal models of PH and is widely applied in mechanistic studies, drug screening, and efficacy evaluation; it offers simplicity and cost-effectiveness, can induce PH within a short period, yet its pathophysiology differs to some extent from human idiopathic PH. In contrast, the Sugen5416 combined with chronic hypoxia model better mimics PH progression by placing animals under hypoxic conditions to induce pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling, but it requires a longer modelling time, and the degree of hypoxia has a substantial impact on experimental outcomes. Beyond these two commonly used modeling approaches, a variety of emerging techniques have been applied in PH research; gene-editing technologies enable precise investigation of specific gene functions in PH. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cell-based 3D organoid technology allows for individualized modelling while preserving patients' genetic information for precise clinical translation. Each model or technology can simulate different aspects of the pathological processes of human PH, and their findings provide key insights into the nature of the disease and serve as an important platform for the development of novel therapeutic targets. This paper comprehensively describes various animal models and emerging technologies used in PH research, analyzing their characteristics, applications, and limitations, with the aim of providing experimental and technical support for the development of new therapeutic strategies and drugs.
