Embodiment 1
[0036] Example 1: Construction of transgenic zebrafish lines
[0037] 1. Zebrafish Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) strain:
[0038] The coro1a gene is a marker of leukocytes, and T lymphocytes are a type of leukocytes. Mature T lymphocytes develop in the thymus and are the main lymphocytes present in the thymus. This transgenic line uses the promoter of the coro1a gene to control the expression of the Dendra2-NTR fusion protein gene, where Dendra2 is a fluorescent protein gene, and NTR is a nitroreductase gene. NTR can make non-toxic metronidazole reduced by NTR As a cytotoxic metabolite, it can specifically induce apoptosis in NTR-expressing cells controlled by the coro1a gene promoter. The construction method of this strain is as follows:
[0039] (1) Amplify the promoter of the coro1a gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1) and the Dendra2-NTR fusion protein gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2) by conventional PCR.
[0040] Among them, for the p...
Embodiment 2
[0064] Example 2: Construction of thymic lymphocyte injury and regeneration animal model based on Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) transgenic line
[0065] Through the created Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) zebrafish transgenic line, based on the principle of nitroreductase / metronidazole system-mediated lymphocyte elimination, an animal model of thymic lymphocyte injury was constructed through the following steps:
[0066] This protocol uses a Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) zebrafish transgenic line. The promoter of the coro1a gene drives the expression of Dendra2-fused NTR protein in leukocytes (including lymphocytes). NTR, as a nitroreductase, can make non-toxic The metronidazole is reduced by NTR to a cytotoxic metabolite capable of specifically inducing coro1a + Cells undergo apoptosis. Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) zebras were immersed with a series of different concentrations of metronidazole (MTZ, M3761, Sigma-Aldrich) during zebrafish Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR) development to day 5 post-fertilization (5d...
Embodiment 3
[0070] Example 3: Construction of thymic lymphocyte injury and regeneration animal model based on Tg (coro1a:Dendra2-NTR; rag2:DsRed) transgenic line
[0071] The establishment of an animal model for regeneration of thymic lymphocytes after injury is achieved through the following steps:
[0072] This protocol uses a Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR; rag2:DsRed) zebrafish transgenic line, and 2 mM metronidide is used when the zebrafish Tg(coro1a:Dendra2-NTR; rag2:DsRed) develops to day 5 after fertilization (5dpf). Tg (coro1a:Dendra2-NTR; rag2:DsRed) zebrafish larvae were soaked in azole (the control group was DMSO-treated group), and the drug was withdrawn after 12 hours of treatment. The fish were placed in embryo culture medium (which added 0.003% PTU, P7629, Sigma-Aldrich) for 12 hours to recover, and continued to culture. Confocal live imaging was used to continuously observe the fluorescent signal of thymic lymphocytes in juvenile fish to observe whether the development of zebrafis...
