Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of animal models, and particularly relates to a construction method and application of a GRIM-19 and IL-33 double-gene gastric parietal cell-specific knockout mouse model. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third most common cause of cancer death, but the details of gastric cancer development are still unclear. In recent years, the cure rate of early gastric cancer can reach more than 90%, but due to the atypical symptoms of early gastric cancer, the diagnosis rate is low, and after progression, it greatly affects the treatment and survival of gastric cancer patients, and the recovery rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer is extremely low. Therefore, finding molecular markers for early diagnosis and targeted therapy is crucial for improving the prognosis of gastric cancer.

[0003] Two precancerous metaplasias are associated with gastric precancerous lesions: intestinal metaplasia (IM) and spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM). SPEM is considered to be a potential cell source of intestinal epithelial metaplasia and eventually adenocarcinoma, and persistent stimulation of chronic inflammation can promote SPEM to progress to dysplasia and even cancer. Many mouse models have led to the evolution of SPEM. At present, the mechanism of SPEM has not been fully elucidated, and the research progress is relatively slow.

[0004] Mitochondrial inner membrane protein GRIM-19 (Gene associated with retinoid interferon-induced mortality-19, also known as NDUFA13), as a functional component of MRC complex I of mitochondrial respiratory chain, the gene of human GRIM-19 is located in chromosome 19p13.1, and the human and mouse GRIM-19 genes both contain 5 exons. Compared with benign tumors, the expression level of GRIM-19 protein in advanced tumors is extremely low, and the deletion of GRIM-19 increases the susceptibility to tumor development. Gastric parietal cell-specific knockout of GRIM-19 can induce spontaneous gastric mucosal inflammation and SPEM pathological formation in mice.

[0005] Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family and plays an important regulatory role in the immune system. As an immune system regulator, the full-length protein form of IL-33 (full-length IL-33 protein, flIL-33) acts as a gene regulator in the nucleus, while the mature form (mature IL-33, mIL-33) is used as an extracellular cytokine when released from damaged or necrotic cells, and is involved in the regulation of immune response. IL-33 is released from damaged cells as a passive and rapid response to stimulation or cell damage. However, it can also be actively secreted by immune cells. During inflammation, the abundant basal IL-33 expression in tissues can be further increased.

[0006] Recent studies have shown that IL-33 also plays an important role in the formation of SPEM pathology. Mice treated with IL33 developed SPEM and strong inflammatory responses in the lungs, intestines and stomach, indicating that IL33 was sufficient to recruit inflammatory cells and drive mucus production in the epithelial tissues of the respiratory tract and intestines. IL-33 from damaged mucosal epithelial cells is a key initiator of the initial formation of SPEM. IL-33 is released directly into the extracellular space or cleaved into an active short peptide by enzymes, binds to its receptor ST2 (IL-1R4), and induces a type II immune response, promoting inflammation progression, and is also related to the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal-related cancers, including gastric cancer. IL-33 increase is the cause of intestinalization of SPEM in mice and gastric cancer patients.

[0007] In order to further study the occurrence and development of SPEM, a good research model is essential. However, the acute SPEM animal model constructed by applying chemical drugs cannot meet the current research needs, and the origin of SPEM is still not determined. SUMMARY

The principle of the Cre-Lox system is that: Cre recombinase is originally found in P1 phage, can specifically recognize the loxP site, and mediate the DNA sequence between the two loxP sites to be deleted or recombined. The sequence of the coding region of the Cre recombinase gene is 1029 bp in length (EMBL database accession number X03453), and encodes a 38 kDa monomer protein composed of 343 amino acids. In the Cre-loxP system, after the mice carrying the loxP site (i.e. Floxed mice) are mated with the Cre mice, gene knockout or expression can be achieved in specific tissues or cells. The LoxP sequence is derived from P1 phage, and is composed of two 13 bp inverted repeat sequences and an 8 bp sequence in the middle interval. The 8 bp interval sequence also determines the direction of LoxP. Cre is covalently bound to DNA in the process of catalyzing DNA strand exchange, and the 13 bp inverted repeat sequence is the binding domain of Cre enzyme.
