2. line bolt method cerebral infarction I/R operation adopts MCAO(middle cerebral artery occlusion, middle cerebral artery occlusion) model manipulation flow process:
(1) capture mice, use 3% isoflurane anesthesia mice, 8% sodium sulfide is sloughed the Mus hair of cervical region, and calvarium Mus hair is cut rapidly with operating scissors, 3% povidone iodine sterilization cervical region and calvarium skin 2 times, the de-iodine of 75% ethanol 1 time;
(2) at the calvarium position of mice cross sections, expose skull, with tweezers, peel off gently the connective tissue of skull surface.The fibre-optical probe of laser Doppler flowmetry is fixed on to bregma rear 2mm, the position of left side 5mm with biogum;
(3) mice is lain on the back fixing, neck median line otch, along sternocleidomastoid inner edge separating muscle and fascia, separates left carotid (CCA), external carotid artery (ECA) and internal carotid artery (ICA).At ECA distal end, with 8-0 toe-in, prick, ECA proximal part place hanging wire is standby.With arteriole, press from both sides temporary transient folder and close ICA, CCA; Then in the middle of the ligation of ECA distal end and proximal part hanging wire, cut an osculum, line bolt is sent to CCA by clip, and the hanging wire of ECA proximal part is made a call to a slip-knot at clip, elasticity can free in and out with line bolt but the sense that slightly rubs is advisable, loose ICA bulldog clamp again, line bolt is sent into ICA, from vascular bifurcation, start to calculate distance, when insertion depth, in about 9-11mm, stop to the decline power that is hampered of blood flow.At this moment will fasten gently and fasten line around ECA proximal part place slip-knot, whole process must maintain the anus temperature of mice at 37 ± 0.5 ℃;
(4) from line bolt, enter decline power stopping time that is hampered of cerebrovascular to blood flow and start timing, after 45min, first unclamp ECA proximal part place slip-knot, line bolt is extracted, and ECA proximal part place slip-knot is tightened, unclamp rapidly CCA place bulldog clamp, and by the ligation of ECA proximal part (Sham group from line bolt, enter cerebrovascular to blood flow decline take out Outlet bolt while being hampered power).Note observing restoration of blood flow situation, select blood flow to decline more than 75%, the mice that restoration of blood flow reaches more than 70% is included experiment in;
(5) sew up mice cervical region and skin of head, and with the povidone iodine wound of sterilizing.After operation finishes, mice is placed in incubator, case temperature maintains 28 ℃, and feedwater and feedstuff are to drawing materials.
[embodiment 3] Cerebral Infarction Model (I/R) mouse brain Infarction volume is measured
The evaluation index of the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury order of severity mainly comprises the scoring of infarction of brain volume and function of nervous system, these indexs all with ischemia/reperfusion injury order of severity positive correlation.
(1) 24h after operation respectively, 72h, carries out function of nervous system and behavioristics's scoring before 7d draws materials;
Based on Berderson function of nervous system scoring improve one's methods (9 points of systems):
0 point: the symptom that impassivity is impaired;
1 point: while carrying tail, offside forelimb is curled, or can not arrive Ipsilateral forelimb completely;
2 points: while carrying tail, in offside shoulder, receive;
3 points: horizontal sliding: while promoting to offside, resistance declines;
4 points: can be spontaneous to all directions motions, but only to offside, turn when de-tail;
5 points: during autonomic movement, turn-take or only to turning;
6 points: without autonomic movement, only motion when stimulating;
7 points: without autonomic movement, during stimulation also without motion;
8 points: the death relevant with cerebral ischemia.
(2) capture mice, lumbar injection 3% pentobarbital sodium anesthetized mice, cuts off mice thoracic cavity, breaks heart blood-letting;
(3) skin of neck after volume fraction 75% alcohol disinfecting, cut off rear skin of neck, expose head and cervical region, from cervical vertebra, cut off neck marrow, rear musculi colli is removed in separation, and eye scissors is longitudinally cut off the outer skull of brain stem cerebellum, with stricture of vagina tooth pincers strip off skull, separate brain surface's cerebral dura mater, avoid cerebral dura mater to scratch cerebral tissue.While getting brain, from oblongata, careful separation basis cranii tissue, avoids damaging brain;
(4) cerebral tissue taking off is put into the culture dish rinse that PBS is housed, blotted PBS with gauze, cerebral tissue is put into 1mm mouse brain mould, be placed in-20 ℃ of refrigerators frozen (being no more than 4h);
(5) cerebral tissue 2,3, 5-Triphenyltertrazoliumchloride (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloricej, TTC) dyeing: from-20 ℃ of refrigerators, take out cerebral tissue, be cut into immediately 1mm slab, comprise that bregma front cuts 4, rear is cut 3, cuts altogether 7.Section is placed in immediately to the serum bottle of 10ml 2% TTC solution, 37 ℃ of constant-temperature incubation 10min.Frequently stir section, make even tissue dyeing.After normal cerebral tissue's dyeing, be cerise, and infarcted region is pale asphyxia;
(6) cerebral tissue is fixed: the cerebral tissue in beaker and solution are together proceeded in the cup of carrying out labelling, discard TTC solution, with the fixing brain tissue slice of 10% neutral formalin solution, take pictures and use IPP software analysis after 24h;
(7) cerebral infarction volume calculates: Infarction volume %=(not Infarction volume of offside cerebral hemisphere volume-infarction side)/(offside cerebral hemisphere volume × 2) × 100%;
Total Infarction volume is 7 brain sheet result data sums separately.
TTC is fat-soluble photaesthesia complex, it is the proton acceptor of pyridine-nucleoside structure enzyme system in respiratory chain, take on a red color, and in ischemic tissue, dehydrogenase activity declines with dehydrogenase reaction in normal structure, can not react, therefore can not change and be pale asphyxia.
TTC coloration result as shown in Figure 2, pours into IRF9-KO mice Infarction volume after 24 hours through I/R ischemia 45min again and reduces compared with wild-type mice; And this protective effect still continues at I/R for postoperative 72 hours, 7 days, and cerebral tissue infarction is all lower than wild-type mice, and function of nervous system's scoring all improves at I/R for postoperative 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days.
As shown in Figure 3, through I/R ischemia 45min, pouring into IRF9-TG mice Infarction volume after 24 hours obviously increases the weight of compared with wild-type mice again; And this deterioration acts on I/R and still continues for postoperative 72 hours, and cerebral tissue infarction is than the equal height of wild-type mice.And function of nervous system's scoring all worsens at I/R for postoperative 24 hours and 72 hours.
