Description

Method for constructing adipose tissue-specific STAU1 knockout mouse model by Myf5-Cre
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of animal experiment model construction, and particularly relates to a method for constructing an adipose tissue-specific STAU1 knockout mouse model by Myf 5-Cre.
Background
Obesity has become a global chronic metabolic disease, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, fatty liver, and serious health hazard to humans. Adipose tissue in mammals is believed to include mainly white adipose tissue with energy storage function (White adipose tissue, WAT) and brown adipose tissue with heat and energy production (Brown adipose tissue, BAT). In recent years, it has been found that when the body is exposed to cold or drug-like stimuli, some multi-atrial uncoupling protein 1 (Uncoupling protein, UCP 1) positive adipocytes appear in WAT, which function similarly to brown adipocytes. Such adipocytes with white and brown adipocyte intermediate morphology are called beige adipocytes. Such beige adipocytes can be induced in WAT reservoirs by complex processes and exhibit similar thermogenesis to BAT upon stimulation. It has been shown that mammalian adipocytes are derived mainly from precursors of the neural kurtosis or mesoderm, wherein the neural kurtosis can differentiate directly into mature adipocytes, whereas precursors from mesoderm can differentiate into different types of precursor cells with specific differentiation capabilities, and thus into different types of adipocytes or muscle cells. Brown adipocytes develop from paraxial mesoderm, where Myf5 expressing mesoderm progenitor cells can differentiate into muscle or brown adipose precursor cells. Brown fat precursor cells can gradually differentiate into brown fat cells after being regulated by Ehmt1, prdm16, C/EBPS, ews and other factors. However, little is known about the developmental origin of beige adipocytes, and previous studies reported that classical brown fat and skeletal muscle cells were derived from Myf5 myogenic precursor cell lineages, and white and beige adipocytes were derived from Myf5 precursor cells, knowing the differences in developmental profile of brown and beige fat provided more guidance for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases.
Abnormal adipocyte differentiation is the pathophysiological basis for obesity, in which many transcription factors are involved, and RNA binding proteins also regulate adipocyte differentiation at post-transcriptional levels, where STAU1 is involved in the regulation of adipose tissue and glycolipid metabolism. Preliminary studies have found that STAU1 may be able to inhibit adipose tissue thermogenesis by affecting Ucp1 and Prdm16 thermogenesis gene expression, and that the specific mechanism is not yet defined. In the invention, STAU1 deletion is observed in STAU1/adipo mice, which possibly promotes the heat production of the mice, but because the expression quantity of adipoQ in BAT is lower and the knockout efficiency is limited, at present, the gene knockout type obesity animal model for scientific research is very limited, and the market does not have a stable hereditary gene knockout type obesity model mouse, which is required to be cultivated and reformed in the acquired, has longer modeling time, low modeling success rate and high death rate. Thus, there is a need for a method of constructing a adipose tissue-specific STAU1 knockout mouse model by Myf 5-Cre.
