Description

Construction method of mouse model for lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological medicine, in particular to a construction method of a mouse model for lumbar disc herniation.
Background
Lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion is one of the main causes of lumbago and lower limb radiation pain, and is quite common clinically. The lumbocrural pain caused by the lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion seriously damages the life quality and the labor capacity of the patients and influences the economic production. At present, the neurobiological mechanism of pain caused by lumbar disc herniation is not completely elucidated. An effective and credible animal model of the lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion is a key scientific research tool for further clarifying the nerve mechanism of lumbocrural pain and developing new clinical drugs.
In early related research, large animals such as pigs, dogs or rabbits are mostly adopted to make lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion models. These large animal models are expensive and relatively convenient to operate, but lack effective behavioral methods to assess pain performance, and can only detect neurological changes by electrophysiology. In recent years, researchers mostly use rats to construct animal models of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, which can be divided into three types of models of simple inflammation, simple nerve compression and nerve compression + inflammation, and evaluate pain expression by using a limited behavioral method. However, current rat-based models are all made directly with autologous normal disc tissue compressing the nerve roots. The disadvantages of this model are: 1) the normal non-degenerated intervertebral disc is used for pressing nerve roots, the nerve roots are not consistent with the clinical real condition of the lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, the caused pain symptom is light, and the duration is short (only lasts for about 1-2 weeks); 2) less pain behavioral assessment methods based on rats; 3) the number of rat transgenic strains available for research is small, and the research on the biological mechanism of pain is not favorable for further expanding.
Therefore, a mouse model of protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc with lasting and reliable pain symptoms, low cost, strong operability and good repeatability is needed at present.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a method for constructing a mouse model of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion so as to make up for various defects of the existing related models.
The construction method of the mouse model for treating lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion comprises the following steps: inducing the lumbar intervertebral disc to degenerate by performing lumbar intervertebral disc puncture through a ventral approach; feeding the animal for 4 weeks to obtain degenerated lumbar disc nucleus pulposus tissue; exposing a spinal dural sac and nerve roots through a posterior approach, and placing degenerated intervertebral disc tissues in an intervertebral disc hole area to form nerve root compression to obtain a mouse model of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion; behavioral testing assessed the appearance and extent of lower limb radiation pain.
Preferably, the model can be constructed by using adult male mice.
Step 1: puncture injury induces lumbar disc degeneration. The adult male mouse after anesthesia is fixed on the operation table top in the supine position, the skin of the abdomen is preserved and disinfected, and a longitudinal incision is made in the middle of the lower abdomen. Exposing the gap between the ilium and lumbar muscles and the abdominal aorta, separating the ilium and lumbar muscles and exposing the milky intervertebral disc; the intervertebral disc is punctured by a needle head with a depth limiting device for 5 times in a total, and the incision is sutured after the puncture is finished.
Step 2: obtaining the degenerated lumbar disc nucleus pulposus tissue. 1 month after mouse intervertebral disc puncture, perfusing with normal saline after anesthesia, rapidly separating and taking out degenerated intervertebral disc after puncture, properly removing peripheral fiber ring and end plate to mainly reserve nucleus pulposus tissue, and soaking and storing with normal saline for modeling of receptor animal.
And step 3: constructing a lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion model. Anaesthetizing, fixing adult male mice in prone position, sterilizing the dorsal skin, centering on L4/5 vertebral body, and taking the median incision. Blunt-separating left paraspinal muscle, exposing vertebral plate, cutting out inner part L4/5 articular process and partial vertebral plate, and exposing L4 nerve root and dural sac; the extracted degenerated nucleus pulposus tissue is filled in the axilla of the junction of the nerve root of the dorsal root ganglion of L4 and the dural sac, and the nerve root is pressed. The incision is sutured layer by layer.
And 4, step 4: behavioral assessment and detection of lower limb radiation pain. Behavioral changes of the lower limb radiating pain of the mice are detected and evaluated by a von Frey test (mechanical pain), a Hargreaves test (thermal pain), an acetone test (cold pain) and the like 1-4 weeks after the operation.
Compared with other existing animal models, the mouse model for lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, which is constructed by 4 steps, has the following advantages: 1) the nerve root is pressed by the degenerated intervertebral disc tissue, so that the severe and lasting lower limb radiating pain symptom can be induced, and the chronic course of clinical lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion is better simulated; 2) the mouse is taken as a model animal, and the method has various objective and credible pain behavioral measurement methods, and is beneficial to the curative effect evaluation of experimental intervention; 3) the mouse is used as the most common experimental animal and has abundant transgenic strains, thereby conveniently providing a genetic control means, being beneficial to subsequently controlling related molecular targets and deeply exploring the neurobiological mechanism of lower limb radiation pain caused by protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc.
