Technical Field

The application relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to application of a mouse model in assessing intelligence level change.

Background

The Alzheimer's Disease (AD) experimental animal model is used as an important tool for researching pathogenesis, early diagnosis and drug treatment of the disease, and the scientificity, accuracy and diversity of the model are important factors for reducing clinical failure of the drug in the III stage. The introduction of variant genes related to Alzheimer's disease into animal gene system is used to simulate the pathological features and behavior change of Alzheimer's disease, and is the starting point of the research of Alzheimer's disease experimental animal model.

However, the above models all have late onset, and false positive or false negative results are likely to occur in the detection of the effect of the drug in the clinic. This is in direct contrast to the characteristic of Alzheimer's disease that its phenotypic characters are complex and affected by polygene, environment and age. At present, no suitable animal resource is found as a research tool, which is the pain point of the research and development of new Alzheimer disease medicines.

Detailed Description

High-intelligence horizontal mouse model and construction method and application thereof

In one aspect, the present application provides a method of constructing a high intellectual level mouse model, the method comprising replacing a chromosome in a mouse with all or part of a chromosome of wild type mouse origin, thereby making the mouse a high intellectual level mouse.

In the present application, the wild-type mouse may be derived from a strain selected from the group consisting of: BLD, CM, DX, FX, HZ, JD, KM, PD, QP, SMX, SY, TW, TZ, YP, YX, ZC, ZZ1, and ZZ 2.

In the present application, the specific code numbers and strain designations of the wild-type mouse origin can be as shown in table 1.

For example, C57BL/6J represents a subline of C57BL of the Jackson laboratory Scale, USA, which may be abbreviated as B6/J.

In the present application, the mouse may be derived from strain C57 BL/6J.

In the present application, the replacement may comprise crossing with the wild type mouse.

In the present application, the replacement may include the steps of:

a) hybridizing a mouse with the wild-type mouse to obtain F1, backcrossing F1 with the mouse to obtain F2, and screening the mouse with at least one chromosome in F2 in a heterozygous state;

b) carrying out continuous backcross on the mouse with the chromosome in the heterozygous state obtained by screening in the step a) and the mouse, and screening to obtain a mouse population with the chromosome in the heterozygous state and the other chromosomes in the genotype of the homozygous mouse;

c) taking the mouse population obtained by screening in the step b) as an inbred line, and obtaining the mouse model through inbreeding.

The method of substitution may be known to those skilled in the art, and for example, a mouse having a substitution of chromosome 1 based on the origin of the wild-type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse) may be obtained by referring to the method described in CN 104170792B.

For example, the replacement may include the steps of:

(1) crossing ZZ2 mouse with mouse C57BL/6J to obtain F1 generation, backcrossing F1 generation mouse with C57BL/6J to obtain F2 generation, and screening out mouse with heterozygous state of whole No. 1 chromosome DNA sequence through genotyping;

(2) backcrossing the F2 generation mouse with C57BL/6J, backcrossing in the same way, and screening 10 generations to form a mouse population with a No. 1 chromosome DNA sequence in a heterozygous state and all the rest chromosomes being homozygous C57BL/6J genotypes;

(3) identifying the gene DNA of the backcrossed mice;

(4) after 10 generations of backcross, the backcross mouse with No. 1 chromosome ZZ2 and B6 in heterozygous state is bred into a homologous gene carrying No. 1 ZZ2 mouse, and the homologous gene is introduced into an inbred line, and through brother selfing and gene identification and screening, the mouse with high intelligence level (such as D000765 mouse) can be obtained.

For another example, the replacing may include the steps of:

(1) hybridizing a BLD mouse with a mouse C57BL/6J to obtain an F1 generation, backcrossing the F1 generation mouse with the C57BL/6J to obtain an F2 generation, and screening out the mouse with the whole No. 1 chromosome DNA sequence in a heterozygous state through genotyping;

(2) backcrossing the F2 generation mouse with C57BL/6J, backcrossing in the same way, and screening 10 generations to form a mouse population with a No. 1 chromosome DNA sequence in a heterozygous state and all the rest chromosomes being homozygous C57BL/6J genotypes;

(3) identifying the gene DNA of the backcrossed mice;

(4) after 10 generations of backcross, the backcross mouse with the BLD and B6 heterozygous for chromosome 1 is bred into a homologous gene carrying the BLD mouse chromosome 1, the homologous gene is introduced into an inbred line, and the mouse with high intelligence level (such as a D000758 mouse) can be obtained through brother and sister selfing and gene identification and screening.

In the present application, the screening may comprise genotyping. The genotyping may be a process of examining the DNA sequence of an individual by using a biological assay. For example, the genetic analysis may compare a sequence of interest to a sequence of another individual or to a reference sequence to determine differences in the genetic makeup (genotype) of the individuals. The genotyping method may be a method conventional in the art, and may include, for example, identifying Single Nucleotide polymorphisms (Single Nucleotide polymorphisms), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP), Terminal Restriction Length polymorphisms (t-RFLP), Amplified Fragment Length polymorphisms (Amplified Fragment h polymorphisms, AFLP), and/or Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification (MLPA). The technical means for gene analysis may be any means conventional in the art, and may include, for example, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA fragment analysis, oligonucleotide probes (ASO probes), gene sequencing, nucleic acid hybridization, and/or gene chip technology.

In the present application, the screening may include identifying specific SNP sites of the chromosomes of the wild-type mouse. For example, whether chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof derived from the wild-type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse) is replaced into the genome of the mouse can be identified by detecting the SNP sites described in table 2 in CN 104170792B; and/or, it may be possible to identify that the genome of the high intellectual level mouse comprises chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof from which the wild type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse) is derived.

In the present application, the chromosome may include chromosome 1. For the case of chromosome 1 in wild-type mice, reference is made to the description of Michael F. Seldin et al, Mammalian Genome volume 1, pages S1-S17 (1991).

In the present application, the replacement may include a means of utilizing gene editing. For example, chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof originally from the mouse can be knocked out (knock-out) by means of gene editing (e.g., CRISPR-Cas); the mouse may also be made to contain chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof from the wild type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse) by knock-in (knock-in). For example, the mouse may be made to comprise chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof from the wild type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse) by means of a plasmid that may comprise a nucleotide sequence encoding chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof from the wild type mouse (e.g., ZZ2 mouse). For example, the original function of chromosome 1 or a fragment thereof of the mouse can be reduced and/or lost by means of RNAi or the like.

In the present application, said high intellectual level may be determined by evaluating one or more conditions of the group: motor ability, emotional state, learning ability, memory ability, and spatial exploration ability.

In the present application, the emotional state may include an evaluation factor selected from the group consisting of: whether anxiety, whether depression, and whether caution is warranted. The high intelligence level mice described herein may be prudent, may be anxious, and/or may be non-depressive.

In the present application, the emotional state may be evaluated by a sugar water preference test. If the emotional state of the mouse presents problems and/or disorders, the bias towards sugar water is reduced; conversely, high mental level mice should maintain a normal level of carbohydrate bias. The preference degree of the mouse for sugar water can be evaluated by calculating a sugar water preference index, and then the emotional state of the mouse is evaluated: sugar water preference index% = sugar water consumption/(sugar water consumption + pure water consumption) × 100%.

In the present application, the learning capacity, and/or the memory capacity may be evaluated by a water maze test. The water maze test (such as Morris water maze) can force the mouse to swim, so as to learn and search for a platform hidden in water, and further test the learning ability and/or the memory ability of the mouse to the spatial position sense and the direction sense. The water maze test may also include an acquisition training, a scout training, an alignment training, or an alignment scout training. If the shorter the time required for a mouse to find a platform from entering the water, the shorter the distance traveled during that period, the mental level of the mouse will be correspondingly about high. The water maze assessment test may be an important test for assessing the mental level of a mouse.

In the present application, the spatial exploratory power, and/or the memory power, may be evaluated by a spatial exploratory Y maze test. The spatially probed Y maze may consist of three identical arms, each with a food supply at the end. When a mouse searches for food in the maze, the mouse can remember the arms of the maze which the mouse has searched according to the visual marks around the maze so as to avoid repeatedly entering the same arm, thereby effectively obtaining the food. The spatially probed Y maze test can evaluate the mouse's ability to recognize and remember new environments. Meanwhile, if the phenotype of the mouse in the space exploration Y maze test is more cautious, the higher intelligence level of the mouse can be reflected.

In the present application, the memory capacity can be evaluated by the active avoidance Y maze test. The active avoidance Y maze test may consist of three arms, some of which are relatively safe (i.e., safe zones) and others of which may be energized to generate sufficient current to escape the mouse. During the experiment, the safety zone can be changed, the mouse is electrically shocked, the safety zone that the mouse escapes immediately is taken as a correct reaction, and the mouse can continuously react for a plurality of times in the training process to obtain the 'scholarly'. The lower the number of exercises required to "learn" the higher the level of intelligence of the mouse. The active avoidance Y maze test can embody the mouse memory capacity to fear.

In the present application, the motor ability may be evaluated by an open field test and/or a fatigue swing rod test.

In the present application, the open field test is a method for evaluating the autonomous behavior of the experimental animal in a strange environment, and exploring behavior and tensity. If a mouse does not actively go to a central area (i.e., the mouse does not tend to be explored at will and/or be overstrained or overstrained in an unfamiliar environment), the mouse tends to be cautious, or the level of mental capacity of the mouse can be considered high. Meanwhile, the open field test can evaluate the motor capacity of the mouse, namely, the normal activity capacity and reaction speed of the mouse can be evaluated.

In the present application, the fatigue suspension bar test can evaluate the motor ability of the mouse, and particularly can evaluate the action coordination and the anti-fatigue property of the mouse. The high mental level mice are reflected by the results of the fatigue swing rod test, and the motor ability of the high mental level mice is not significantly different from that of the control group mice (such as C57BL/6J mice).

In another aspect, the present application provides a high mental level mouse model constructed by the methods described herein.

In another aspect, the present application provides a high mental-level mouse model in which the mouse chromosomes comprise at least all or part of the chromosomes of wild-type mouse origin.

In the present application, the wild-type mouse may be derived from a strain selected from the group consisting of: BLD, CM, DX, FX, HZ, JD, KM, PD, QP, SMX, SY, TW, TZ, YP, YX, ZC, ZZ1, and ZZ 2.

In the present application, the mice may be derived from strains of the following group: c57 BL/6J.

In the present application, the mouse may comprise all or part of chromosome 1 from a wild-type mouse.

In the present application, said high intellectual level may be determined by evaluating one or more conditions of the group: motor ability, emotional state, learning ability, memory ability, and spatial exploration ability.

In the present application, the emotional state may be evaluated by a sugar water preference test.

In the present application, the learning capacity, and/or the memory capacity may be evaluated by a water maze test.

In the present application, the spatial exploratory power, and/or the memory power, may be evaluated by a spatial exploratory Y maze test.

In the present application, the memory capacity can be evaluated by the active avoidance Y maze test.

In the present application, the motor ability may be evaluated by an open field test and/or a fatigue swing rod test.

In the present application, the mouse in the high intelligence level mouse model (i.e. the high intelligence level mouse) can have higher intelligence level than the control group mouse (e.g. C57BL/6J mouse). For example, wherein the high mental level mouse may be more cautious, anxious, not depressed, have better emotional ability; the learning ability, especially the learning ability aiming at the spatial position sense and the direction sense, can be better; the memory capacity can be better, and the memory capacity can comprise the memory capacity aiming at the spatial position sense and the direction sense and can also comprise the memory capacity about fear; and/or may have better space exploration capabilities. For another example, the motor capacity of the high intellectual level mouse may not be significantly different from that of a control group of mice (e.g., C57BL/6J mice). Therefore, the mouse in the high intelligence level mouse model can have higher intelligence level under the condition of having stable and good emotional state.

In another aspect, the present application provides the use of a high mental level mouse model described herein for the preparation of a mouse model with a deficit in mental level.

In the present application, the system may be used to identify substances capable of affecting mental levels.

In another aspect, the present application provides a system for identifying an agent capable of affecting intellectual levels, the system comprising a high intellectual level mouse model in which the chromosomes of a mouse comprise at least all or part of a wild type mouse derived chromosome.

In the present application, the mouse may be derived from a strain selected from the group consisting of: c57 BL/6J.

In the present application, the mouse in the high mental level mouse model may comprise all or part of chromosome 1 from a wild-type mouse.

In this application, the system may include a discrimination module that discriminates the effect of the substance on the mental level of the high mental level mouse model.

In the present application, the identification module may comprise reagents and/or instruments for identifying the effect of the substance on the mental level of the high mental level mouse model.

For example, the identification module may comprise reagents and/or apparatus capable of determining the activity and/or expression of the mental level associated protein. In the present application, the identification module may comprise reagents and/or instruments for determining the effect of the substance on the activity and/or expression level of the mental-level associated protein.

In the present application, the identification module may comprise a primer capable of specifically amplifying a nucleic acid encoding a mental level associated protein, and/or a probe capable of specifically recognizing a nucleic acid encoding a mental level associated protein (e.g., the probe may be a DNA double-stranded probe, a DNA single-stranded probe, an aptamer, or RNAi).

In another aspect, the present application provides a method of assessing the effect of a substance on mental levels, which method may comprise administering a candidate substance to a high mental level mouse model in which the chromosomes of the mouse comprise at least all or part of a wild-type mouse-derived chromosome.
