Abstract

The invention relates to an application of a thymidylate synthase inhibitor in preparation and construction of a mouse model with NTDs (neural tube defects). Specifically, the thymidylate synthase inhibitor is used for intervening a pregnant mouse to cause dysbolism of thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) and dysplasia of a mouse embryo, so that the mouse model with the NTDs is constructed. The application is high in feasibility, easy to operate, good in repeatability, stable in effect and high in teratogenicity rate, the mouse model close to the pathogenesis of human NTDs is simulated through inhibition of metabolism of dTMP, and good animal model is provided for further research of birth defects, especially for research of the mechanism of all molecules and cells associated with the NTDs.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the field of applied basic medical research, and relates to the application of a thymidylate synthase inhibitor to prepare and construct a neural tube defect mouse model. Background technique: [0002] Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) refer to the abnormalities of the brain and spine caused by incomplete closing of the neural tube in the early stages of embryonic development. Cerebral or meningocele, spina bifida, etc., the mechanism of its occurrence is still unclear. Constructing an animal model with human NTDs disease-simulating manifestations will help to understand the occurrence and development of human NTDs more conveniently and effectively, and understand its etiology, pathogenesis, and pathological characteristics, which is of great significance for research on prevention and control measures. Folic acid deficiency in early pregnancy is an important risk factor for the occurrence of NTDs, supplementing 0.4-4.0mg / d of folic...
