5.2 expression characteristics of intervertebral disc-specific marker Gene twhh in intervertebral discs
The expression characteristics of the twhh gene in the intervertebral disc at different periods of the spinal column development of the zebra fish are revealed by staining antibodies to the spinal column cross section of the zebra fish. As shown in fig. 7: at 25dpf, cells with green-stained fluorescence (i.e., the area indicated by the straight arrow in FIG. 7 showing grayish white color) were mostly localized to the notochordal sheath wall, and cells with green fluorescence labeled with the twhh gene were vacuolated notochordal cells. When the juvenile fish develops to 45dpf, the green fluorescent cells are only expressed in the intervertebral disc tissues, the outer-layer annulus fibrosus cells and the inner-side nucleus pulposus cells are both marked by the green fluorescent signals, and at the moment, the twhh gene is simultaneously expressed in the outer-layer annulus fibrosus cells and the inner-side nucleus pulposus cells of the intervertebral disc. At 60dpf, green fluorescent cells were only expressed in the annulus fibrosus cells of the outer layer of the disc tissue, and no expression of green fluorescent signal was found in the nucleus pulposus cells of the inner side, at which time the twhh gene green-stained fluorescent cells were only expressed in the annulus fibrosus cells of the disc and no longer labeled nucleus pulposus cells. As shown in fig. 8, when the juvenile fish developed to 60dpf, green fluorescent cells (white areas indicated by the straight line arrows in fig. 8) appeared highly expressed in the disc tissues, alizarin red staining (white areas indicated by the curved arrows in fig. 8) showed that the vertebrae developed completely maturely, and the green-labeled intervertebral discs were embedded inside the red-labeled vertebrae, as shown by cross-sectional antibody staining: at 60dpf, the green stained fluorescent cells were expressed only in the annulus fibrosus cells of the disc and no longer labeled nucleus pulposus cells.

The scanning voltage is set to 70KV, and the current is set to 500 mA.
3. Results of the experiment
As shown in the rectangular box of fig. 10: mtz recovery day 0 after treatment (R0D), the vertebrae in the control group were aligned in segments, whereas the vertebrae in the treated group were closely connected and the intervertebral space was apparently covered by abnormally mineralized bone tissue in the intervertebral area. Mtz (Metronidazole) is recovered for 40 days (R40D), the mineralization of the vertebra of the young fish of the control group is obviously enhanced, however, the vertebra of the young fish of the treatment group is more closely connected, the mineralization of the intervertebral area is obviously enhanced, so that the intervertebral space is completely disappeared, the biomineralization abnormality of the vertebra causes the morphological abnormality of the single vertebra, and the obvious shortening of the length of the single vertebra is the main reason for shortening the length of the whole fish spine.
Therefore, the transgenic line Tg (twhh: Dendra2-NTR) in the construction method of the invention explains the development process of the intervertebral disc and vertebra of the zebra fish in detail, and shows that the twhh gene promoter can drive the expression of green fluorescent protein, thereby clearly recording the gradual conversion process of the zebra fish from the development of notochord cells to the development and maturation of intervertebral disc cells. A specific intervertebral disc injury model is constructed based on an Mtz/NTR system, and Nitroreductase (NTR) is specifically expressed by cells mainly through a recombinant transgenic line successfully constructed in the early stage. The basic principle of the zebra fish intervertebral disc injury is as follows: disc cells expressing nitroreductase are killed by Nitroreductase (NTR) in combination with metronidazole (Mtz). The current research suggests that: degeneration of the intervertebral disc is one of the most prominent pathological processes leading to lower back pain and is a prerequisite for herniated intervertebral discs. Although mechanical stress is a very important regulatory factor leading to disc degeneration, the underlying molecular mechanisms for disc degeneration remain unknown. By combining the advantages of the zebra fish living in water, the influence of long-term mechanical pressure of external gravity on the zebra fish intervertebral disc stimulation can be eliminated. Compared with a mouse intervertebral disc degeneration model which mainly aims at damaging a plurality of local intervertebral discs of the lumbar vertebra of a mouse in a fixed point mode through a surgical operation mode, the invention specifically damages all the intervertebral discs in a zebra fish body in a mode of soaking a zebra fish transgenic line Tg (twhh: Dendra2-NTR) by a metronidazole medicament, and constructs a novel animal model of all the intervertebral discs in the zebra fish body by means of severe damage of all the intervertebral discs in the zebra fish body.
In the experiment, 10mM Mtz (metronidazole) solution is used as a treatment group, 0.2% DMSO is used as a control group, and the treatment is carried out for 72 hours under the condition of keeping out of the sun, wherein the green fluorescence of the intervertebral disc of the transgenic line Tg (twhh: Dendra2-NTR) of the control group is not obviously changed, but the green fluorescence of the whole intervertebral disc of the juvenile fish of the treatment group obviously disappears. This indicates that Mtz (metronidazole) in the treatment group was able to induce the production of NTR (nitroreductase) lethal protein, the Mtz/NTR (metronidazole/nitroreductase) system was able to specifically cause the death of NTR (nitroreductase) -expressing cells, whereas DMSO in the control group had no effect on disc development. Therefore, the construction method of the Tg (twhh: Dendra2-NTR) transgenic zebra fish intervertebral disc injury model constructed by the inventor is successful.
When we soaked young fish with metronidazole MTZ drug, the green fluorescent cells on the annulus fibrosus in the disc would exert corresponding cytotoxicity, we distinguished the degree of disc injury by the time of metronidazole MTZ drug soaking at 10mM L working concentration, treated continuously for 72 hours by light-shielding soaking, thereby the phenomenon of massive apoptosis on the annulus fibrosus occurs, while metronidazole MTZ would not damage other tissues around, mouse model of disc degeneration is often used to explore the effect of mechanical pressure in disc degeneration, induced apoptosis of the annulus fibrosus by mechanical overload for 24 hours and resulted in some disc degeneration in mice, revealed by immunostaining that cytochrome C is released but no apoptosis-related factor ligand is generated, Rannou et al, by collecting human samples, analysis of mouse model, combined with disc culture experiment, proved that mechanical overload induced disc degeneration is regulated by apoptosis pathway in disc cells, however, we discovered that Mtz/NTR system specific damaged disc cells, induced disc degeneration is convenient for developing intervertebral disc degeneration, thus, we further discovered whether there is a serious defect that the degeneration of intervertebral disc is caused by the degeneration of intervertebral disc, which we are disturbed spinal bone degeneration caused by the abnormal bone degeneration of some intervertebral disc, and the abnormal bone degeneration of mare.
The transgenic line Tg (twhh: Dendra2-NTR) has seriously damaged intervertebral discs to cause vertebral body degeneration, the intervertebral discs are specifically marked by green fluorescent protein, and mineralized vertebrae are specifically marked by alizarin red staining, and under the standard experimental conditions, the severely damaged intervertebral discs can not be recovered by self and cause serious defects of development and mineralization of the vertebrae. Two transgenic fish lines of Tg (twist: EGFP) and Tg (osteopocalcin: GFP) are constructed in connection with Inohaya et al to mark precursor osteoblasts and mature osteoblasts of the vertebral body respectively, and the differentiation of green fluorescent precursor osteoblasts in the intervertebral area into red fluorescent mature osteoblasts of the vertebral body is verified by scanning through a laser confocal microscope by using the double transgenic fish line. This study considered that: the precursor osteoblasts derived from the osteogenic segments in the intervertebral region of the spine differentiate into mature osteoblasts of the vertebral body, which serves as a growth center during growth and development of the vertebral body. Combining the research results, we preliminarily speculate that the zebra fish intervertebral disc plays an important role in the growth and development of vertebrae.
The experimental technical means prove that the zebra fish intervertebral disc severe injury model can be used for researching an intervertebral disc degeneration model, and then the intervertebral disc degeneration of zebra fish causes degenerative change of vertebrae, which shows that the animal model constructed by the method can be used for exploring related molecular regulation and control mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration and vertebra degeneration. The action mechanism is preliminarily presumed that the severely damaged intervertebral disc can not restore to generate degenerative changes, the microenvironment of the intervertebral area of the spine is influenced, and the stable equilibrium of the vertebrae is disordered, so that the pathological phenotype of the vertebrae degeneration is generated.
