AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing models of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis cannot simultaneously simulate the dual pathological features of neurodegeneration and abnormal bone metabolism. Furthermore, large mammalian models are costly and have long experimental cycles, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale drug screening. Zebrafish models, on the other hand, lack bone metabolism phenotypes or neurological lesion features, and their modeling cycles are mismatched.

Method used

By injecting the neurotoxin 6-OHDA into the brain cavity of zebrafish in combination with water-soluble dexamethasone, and using a multi-index validation system for transgenic zebrafish, the simultaneous induction and quantitative evaluation of two pathological phenotypes were achieved, thus constructing a zebrafish model of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis.

Benefits of technology

It enables the rapid and low-cost construction of a model that simultaneously exhibits the characteristic dopamine neuron loss and OP trabecular structure destruction within 14 days, suitable for in vivo real-time observation, and supports high-throughput drug screening and comorbidity mechanism research.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a method for constructing a zebrafish model of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Parkinson's disease (PD) and osteoporosis (OP) are both degenerative neurological and skeletal diseases prevalent in the elderly, and clinical studies have shown a significant correlation between the two. Epidemiological data shows that approximately 60% of PD patients have decreased bone mineral density, and their fracture risk is 2-3 times higher than that of healthy individuals. Current research suggests that motor dysfunction, abnormal vitamin D metabolism, and dopaminergic neuron degeneration in PD patients collectively lead to bone metabolic imbalance, but the specific molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

[0003] Existing disease models have the following main limitations:

[0004] 1. Single disease models cannot simulate comorbid states: Currently, PD research commonly uses 6-OHDA-induced rodent models, while OP research mostly uses ovariectomized rat models. Neither of these models can simultaneously simulate the dual pathological features of neurodegeneration and abnormal bone metabolism.

[0005] 2. Large mammalian models are expensive: Although non-human primates can better simulate human pathological processes, they have problems such as long experimental cycles (12-18 months) and a cost of more than 50,000 yuan per animal, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale drug screening.

[0006] 3. Limitations of existing zebrafish models:

[0007] (1) Neurotoxicity model: The 6-OHDA-induced zebrafish PD model only showed dopamine neuron damage and lacked bone metabolism phenotype;

[0008] (2) Skeletal development model: Dexamethasone-induced zebrafish OP model can lead to decreased bone density, but without neurological lesion features;

[0009] (3) Mismatch in model building cycle: PD phenotype usually requires at least 7 days to induce, while traditional OP modeling requires 21 days. The time difference makes it impossible to simulate the coordinated progression of the disease.

[0010] There is an urgent need in this field for an animal model that can meet the following requirements:

[0011] (1) Simultaneously presenting the characteristic loss of dopamine neurons in PD and the typical destruction of trabecular bone structure in OP;

[0012] (2) Maintaining high genetic homology between mammals and humans

[0013] (3) Achieve rapid modeling within 14 days, and keep the cost of a single experiment at the thousand-yuan level;

[0014] (4) Applicable to real-time observation of living organisms. Summary of the Invention

[0015] To address the aforementioned technical challenges, this application employs a dual-inducer synergistic intervention (6-OHDA intracerebral injection + dexamethasone water-soluble administration) combined with a multi-index verification system for transgenic zebrafish to achieve simultaneous induction and quantitative assessment of dual pathological phenotypes.

[0016] This application provides a method for constructing a zebrafish model of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis, comprising the following steps:

[0017] A zebrafish model was obtained by injecting neurotoxins into the brain cavity of zebrafish and simultaneously administering dexamethasone, followed by culturing.

[0018] This application also provides the application of the zebrafish model constructed by the above-described construction method in drug preparation or screening.

[0019] This application also provides the application of a combination of neurotoxins and dexamethasone in the preparation of zebrafish models of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis.

[0020] This application also provides the application of a combination of neurotoxins and dexamethasone in shortening the construction cycle of zebrafish models of Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application include, but are not limited to:

[0022] 1. Efficiently achieve simultaneous modeling of two diseases (core technology effect)

[0023] Shortened modeling cycle: Traditional mammalian models require 6-8 weeks to induce a single disease. This invention uses zebrafish juveniles (3dpf) combined with dual intervention for simultaneous induction (96 hours), and a stable PD-OP composite model can be established within 4 days (verified in Tables 1 to 3).

[0024] The success rate has been significantly improved:

[0025] The success rate of PD phenotype induction was significantly improved (dopamine neuron area decreased by 40-76%, p<0.001, Table 2);

[0026] The success rate of OP phenotype induction was significantly improved (skull fluorescence intensity decreased by 28-40%, p<0.001, Table 3).

[0027] 2. Significantly reduces R&D costs (economic benefits)

[0028] Animal cost savings: The cost of raising zebrafish is 1 / 50 of that of the mouse model (cost per zebrafish ≈ ¥0.5 vs. ¥25 per mouse);

[0029] Reduced reagent consumption: The micro-level drug delivery system (6-OHDA injection dose of only 500 ng / tail, dexamethasone water concentration of 3 μM) saves reagent consumption compared to mammalian systems.

[0030] 3. Precisely quantify disease interactions (technological effects)

[0031] The phenotypic association between PD and OP was revealed for the first time using a dual validation system:

[0032] Motor impairment is positively correlated with bone loss: when the area of ​​dopamine neurons decreases by 40%, the fluorescence intensity of the skull decreases by 28%. Figure 2 vs. Figure 4 This confirms that neurodegeneration accelerates abnormal bone metabolism.

[0033] 4. High safety and repeatability (technical effectiveness)

[0034] Zero mortality: The model survival rate was 100% under the optimal dose combination (500 ng / tail 6-OHDA + 3.00 μM dexamethasone) (Table 1);

[0035] Inter-batch variation <5%: Under the same parameters, the area of ​​dopamine neurons fluctuated within ±3.8% (n=10, Table 2), meeting the requirements for high-throughput drug screening.

[0036] 5. Promote research on comorbidity mechanisms and drug development (social benefits)

[0037] Providing the first vertebrate model for PD-OP comorbidity: filling a technological gap and supporting:

[0038] Research on the mechanisms of neuro-skeletal interaction (e.g., 6-OHDA inhibits osteogenic differentiation through oxidative stress);

[0039] Evaluation of dual-target drugs (e.g., screening of compounds that simultaneously increase dopamine neuron area by 47% and skull fluorescence intensity by 50%). Attached Figure Description
