Problems solved by technology

After myocardial infarction, only a small number of myocardial cells divide and proliferate, unable to effectively and completely repair myocardial tissue. Therefore, the myocardium in the infarcted area can only be replaced by scar tissue without contractile function through fibrous tissue hyperplasia, thereby causing severe arrhythmia, Heart failure or even death

Embodiment 1

[0029] [Example 1] Myocardial infarction (MI) model acquisition

[0030] 1. Grouping of experimental animals: male C57BL / 6 background mice (DKK3+ / +), DKK3 knockout mice (DKK3- / -), heart-specific DKK3 transgenic mice (DKK3-TG) and non-transgenic mice ( NTG), a myocardial infarction (MI) model was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) of the mouse heart. They were randomly divided into 8 groups, each group: C57BL / 6 background a-MHC-Cre mouse sham operation group (DKK3+ / + Sham) and MI operation group (DKK3+ / + MI), DKK3 gene knockout mouse sham operation group ( DKK3- / - Sham) and MI operation group (DKK3- / - MI), non-transgenic mouse sham operation group (NTG Sham) and MI operation group (NTG MI), heart-specific DKK3 transgenic mouse sham operation group (DKK3 -TG Sham) and MI group (DKK3-TG MI).

Embodiment 2

[0040] [Example 2] Detection of myocardial infarction ratio, myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in mouse myocardial infarction (MI) model

[0041] 1. Collect materials

[0042] (1) Preliminary work: prepare a urine cup filled with 20mL of 10% formaldehyde in advance, and label it (mouse number, group, type of operation and date of collection). Place the petri dish filled with 10% KCl solution at the sampling site. Turn on the analytical balance, adjust to zero, and then weigh and kill the mice.

[0043] (2) Material collection: Ophthalmic curved forceps clamped the vascular pedicle below the atrial appendage, cut off the heart, and quickly placed it in 10% KCl solution. After the heart stops beating in the diastolic phase, place it on sterilized gauze, gently squeeze the fluid in the heart cavity, dip the surface fluid dry, weigh and record, put the heart into the corresponding urine cup, fix it for 48 hours and use it for pathological testing.

[0064] [Example 3] Detection of cardiac function in myocardial infarction (MI) model mice

[0065] 1 Ultrasound detection of cardiac function

[0066] 1.1 Early preparations

[0067] (1) Anesthesia machine preparation: first connect the oxygen cylinder and the air inlet port on the anesthesia machine, then unscrew the sealing cap of the dosing port on the anesthesia machine, quickly add isoflurane to the safety scale, and then tighten the sealing cap. Unscrew the main valve on the oxygen cylinder, adjust the knob of the flow control valve, and maintain the outlet pressure at 0.2-0.3mPa.

[0068] (2) Preparation of the mice to be tested: After the mice to be tested were quickly anesthetized with isoflurane, the hair on the left chest area was shaved, and the head of the treated mice was inserted into the anesthetic catheter sleeve, and treated with 1.5-2.0% isoflurane Alkane maintains a stable anesthesia in mice.

Abstract

The invention discloses a function and an application of a DKK3 gene in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. The DKK3 gene knocked-out mice and cardiac specific DKK3 transgenic mice are used as the experimental subjects; and the research is carried out with the mice model suffering from myocardial infarction caused by blocking ramus descendens anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae. The result shows that the cardiac infarction proportion, myocardial hypertrophy and the degree of fibrosis of the DKK3 gene knocked-out mice are obviously increased, and cardiac function is obviously pejorative by being compared with DDK3+ / + control mice; and in addition, the cardiac infarction proportion, myocardial hypertrophy and the degree of fibrosis of the cardiac specific DKK3 transgenic mice are obviously inhibited, and the cardiac function is obviously improved. Therefore, the function of DKK3 gene coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is mainly expressed by protecting coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. DKK3 with the function above can be used for preparing a medicine for treating coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention belongs to the field of gene function and application, in particular to the function and application of a Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) gene in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Background technique [0003] Cardiovascular disease is the disease that causes the highest death rate in the world and is the number one killer of human health. Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death from cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common type of ischemic heart disease. If the blood supply of the myocardium is blocked for more than 30 minutes, various organelles will be ultrafine. Structural changes and dysfunction lead to irreversible damage and even death of cardiomyocytes. Acute myocardial infarction is a critical disease of cardiovascular disease. Within a few minutes after the onset of acute myocardial infarction, the myocardial cells in the ischemic central area will die due to ischemia, which is one of the...
