This invention discloses a method for modeling
liver cancer in tree shrews, belonging to the field of
disease model construction technology. (1)
Reagent preparation: Under sterile conditions, weigh the required N-nitrosodiethylamine, dissolve it in sterile
ultrapure water, prepare a 10 mg / mL N-nitrosodiethylamine working solution, filter it with a 0.22 μm
cell filter and set it aside; Under sterile conditions, weigh the required 2-PCCA, dissolve it in sterile
ultrapure water, prepare a 10 mg / mL 2-PCCA working solution, filter it with a 0.22 μm
cell filter and set it aside; (2) Administer the N-nitrosodiethylamine working solution prepared in step (1) to tree shrews via
intraperitoneal injection at a
dose of 50 mg / kg, once a week. Three days after the administration of N-nitrosodiethylamine, administer the 2-PCCA working solution to tree shrews via gavage at a
dose of 20 mg / kg. The modeling is completed in 11 consecutive weeks. To address the shortcomings of existing animal models of
liver cancer, this invention proposes for the first time that the
combined use of DEN and 2-PCCA can establish a stable
tree shrew liver cancer model.
