Embodiment 1

[0039] Embodiment 1, animal infection experiment and treatment experiment

[0040] Male mice aged 6-8 weeks were infected by bilateral intraperitoneal route with 1 × 10 4 PFU ZIKV / mouse, the injection volume on each side was 50 μL (total volume 100 μL), the state of the mice was observed every day after infection, and the changes in body weight, disease incidence and survival rate of the mice were recorded. 5dpi after infection with ZIKV, the male mice in the niclosamide treatment group were intraperitoneally injected with 20mg / kg body weight of niclosamide every day until 14dpi, and the mice in the simple infection control group were injected with the same volume of PBS daily ; All mice were euthanized at 14dpi after infection. The whole blood of the mice was collected by removing the eyeballs, and the mice were killed by amputation. The main organs such as the brain, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, testis, and epididymis of the mice were collected, and the tissues were gently ...

Embodiment 2

[0041]Example 2. Inflammatory infiltration and seminiferous tubule injury of mouse testis treated with niclosamide

[0042] 1. Paraffin section

[0043] 1) Fixation: fix overnight in 4% PFA 10-15 times its own volume; the next day, remove the tissue from the fixative and place it in 75% ethanol overnight;

[0044] 2) Dehydration: After the fixed tissue is cut and trimmed, it is dehydrated in a dehydrator. The dehydration steps are: 70% ethanol, 3h; 80% ethanol, 3h; 90% ethanol I, 2h; 90% ethanol II, 2h; anhydrous Ethanol Ⅰ, 2h; Absolute ethanol Ⅱ, 2h;

[0045] 3) Transparency: After dehydration, the tissue pieces were soaked in xylene Ⅰ for 15 minutes; xylene Ⅱ for 15 minutes;

[0046] 4) Paraffin penetration: the transparent tissue is subjected to paraffin wax I, paraffin wax II, and paraffin wax III in sequence at a constant temperature of 52-56°C, 1 hour per step;

[0047] 5) Embedding: Soak the permeable tissue block in pre-melted paraffin, use a metal mold to make a pa...

Embodiment 3

[0061] Example 3, niclosamide inhibits the expression of S100A4

[0062] 1. Immunofluorescence staining

[0063] 1) Preparation of slices: ① Frozen section: dry the slices with an electric fan, fix them with cold acetone (place the acetone at 4°C overnight for pre-cooling) in a refrigerator at -20°C for 10 minutes, blow the slices with their backs facing the electric fan for 1 hour, and place them in - Store at 20°C for later use; ②paraffin sections: preheat paraffin sections at 55-60°C for 2 hours, and then routinely dewax: immerse the sections in xylene Ⅰ for 15 minutes; xylene Ⅱ for 15 minutes; absolute ethanol Ⅰ for 10 minutes; Ethanol Ⅱ, 5min; 90% ethanol 5min; 70% ethanol 5min;

[0064] 2) Washing: washing with ddH2O, 5 min×1 time, washing with PBS, 5 min×3 times;

[0065] 3) Sealing: Incubate slices with 5% BSA-PBS at room temperature for 1 hour; no need to protect from light, but place in a wet box to prevent dry slices;

[0066] 4) Primary antibody: Discard the blo...

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of niclosamide in preparation of a medicine for preventing and / or treating and relieving testis injury caused by Zika virus infection. The niclosamide is specifically applied to preparation of the medicine for relieving testicular spermatogenic cell injury caused by Zika virus infection. Experiments prove that the niclosamide can be used as an inhibitor for inhibiting expression of S100A4 to prevent S100A4 and mononuclear / macrophages from being recruited to the testis so as to relieve the testicular spermatogenic cell injury caused by Zika virus infection and protect male fertility, and the niclosamide is a potential medicine for relieving testis symptoms caused by Zika virus infection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to the application of niclosamide in the preparation of a drug for preventing and / or treating and alleviating testicular damage caused by Zika virus infection. Background technique [0002] Zika virus (ZIKV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. Since 2007, multiple pandemics have emerged around the world that have drawn widespread attention to ZIKV. Most ZIKV-infected patients are asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms such as fever, headache, and rash. However, men infected with ZIKV may also exhibit reproductive system symptoms, including prostatitis, hemospermia, decreased sperm count in the acute phase, and semen bands. Poison etc. What's more serious is that the survey results of the fertility rate after the ZIKV epidemic in Brazil in 2017 showed that the fertility rate in the affected area dropped significantly,...
