Abstract
Description
[Revised according to Rule 26, 09.01.2026] Methods for constructing and applying four-resistant animals Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to the construction method of four-resistant animals and their applications. Technical Background
[0002] Primary cultured mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) serve as feeder cells, effectively maintaining the growth of human embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, MEFs and other feeder cells have been widely used in the culture of totipotent / pluripotent stem cells. Previous studies have shown that feeder cells play a crucial role in maintaining the long-term stability of ESC telomeres and in the unlimited self-renewal and developmental pluripotency of ESCs.
[0003] With the increasing availability of transgenic pluripotent / multipotent stem cells carrying various resistance gene vectors, there is a need for feeder cells resistant to several types of selective drugs. However, it is often difficult to obtain large quantities of MEFs transfected with exogenous DNA (i.e., drug resistance gene expression vectors). Therefore, it is necessary to construct four-resistant animals and their cell lines, which can be used to isolate four-resistant MEF cells to support the editing of ESC multi-resistance gene vectors or for the isolation of other four-resistant primary cells.

After HCG injection, each female mouse was placed in a separate cage with a normal ICR male mouse, and the vaginal plug was examined the following morning. The donor female mice were then euthanized by cervical dislocation, and the intact oviducts were excised and placed in M2 culture medium containing 0.3 mg / mL hyaluronidase. The bulging ampulla was located under a dissecting microscope and torn open with forceps. The fertilized eggs, with granulosa cells removed, were transferred to M16 culture medium and then incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2.
[0182] Zygotes with binucleates and good morphology were selected, and the laboratory-available high-efficiency sgRNA-Rosa26 90pmol (Genscript), the corresponding four-antibody plasmid 1ug, and Cas9 protein 30pmol (NEB0646) were injected into the nucleus of ICR fertilized eggs.
[0183] After weighing the surrogate female mice, anesthesia was administered intraperitoneally at the prescribed concentration. The mice were placed on the lid of a 9mm plastic culture dish until fully anesthetized. The fertilized eggs to be transferred were aspirated into the transfer tube. Before aspirating the fertilized eggs, a small air bubble was aspirated into the transfer tube, followed by M2 culture medium (M7167, Sigma-Aldrich), the fertilized eggs, and another small air bubble at the end. The transfer tube was then hung on a stereoscope for later use. The anesthetized female mouse was disinfected, and a small incision was made in the skin along the midline of the back, starting from the last rib. The wound and fur were wiped with 70% ethanol. The fallopian tubes and ovaries could be accessed through a dorsal incision parallel or perpendicular to the spine. An opening was made in the body wall near the fallopian tubes using micromanipulation forceps. The fat pads were removed with forceps, exposing the fallopian tubes and ovaries outside the body cavity, and secured with small spring clips. Under the stereoscope, the opening of the fallopian tube (fimbriae) was located, the position of the mouse and fallopian tubes was adjusted, and the ovarian sac was torn open. Using microinjection forceps in one hand, lift the fallopian tube and the fimbrial opening with the other. Insert the transfer cannula into the fimbrial opening and place the fertilized egg inside. The presence of air bubbles within the fallopian tube indicates successful transfer. Release the spring clamps and return the fallopian tube and ovary to the body. Suture the body wall and skin wounds. After the procedure, place the mouse in a clean cage and keep it warm until fully awake before returning it to the cage rack. Await the surrogate female's delivery.
[0184] 3. Genotyping of mice with four resistances
[0185] After the surrogate female mice gave birth, the pups were harvested at approximately 0.5 cm in length for genome extraction and identification once they reached two weeks of age. PCR analysis was performed on the HDR and resistance insert fragments used for targeted insertion into the mouse Rosa26 locus.
[0186] The upstream of the primer for directional insertion of the 5' homologous arm was located on the outer side of the 5' homologous arm (Rosa-5KI-F1: gccaataatcaaattactctttaagcactgg (SEQ ID NO:18)), and the downstream was located on the WPRE+PolyA fragment (WPRE-F1: cctccttgtataaatcctggctgtct (SEQ ID NO:19)). The upstream primer for identifying the 3' homologous arm directional insertion was located on the EF1-alpha fragment (EF1a-R1: aacacgacatcactttcccagtttacc (SEQ ID NO:20)), and the downstream primer was located on the outer side of the 3' homologous arm (Rosa-3KI-R1: ttctgagaccattctcagtggctcaac (SEQ ID NO:21)). The upstream and downstream primers for identifying the resistance insertion were located on the WPRE+PolyA and Puro fragments, respectively (PolyA-F2: TAGATACATTGATGAGTTTGGACAAACC (SEQ ID NO:22); Puro-R2: GTGCCCGCCTTCCTGGAG (SEQ ID NO:23)).
[0187] If the recombinant vector is inserted in the correct position, a band of 1875 bp should appear at the 5' homologous arm oriented insertion site, a band of 2133 bp should appear at the 3' homologous arm oriented insertion site, and the fragment size for resistance insertion identification should be 878 bp.
[0188] The PCR identification results are shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5: The four-antibiotic mice (2#, 3#, 4#, 5#, 11#, 12#, 13#, 15#, 17#, 18#, and 20#) were successfully constructed (genotypes are shown in Table 8), with a construction success rate of 55%.

The feeder was used to test for resistance, and one well of each was left as a control with 10% FBS medium containing the corresponding concentration of antibiotic. The 24-well plate was placed in a 37°C CO2 incubator and cultured for 3 days. The medium was changed and observed every day. The results of the four drug resistance tests on day 3 are shown in Figure 6: the cell mortality rate of the WT group was 100%, and the cell mortality rate of the four resistance groups was 0%.
