The invention relates to a construction method of a tophus mouse model, relates to the technical field of
animal disease model construction, and is used for solving one of the problems of long modeling period, limited maintenance time, tedious operation, harsh conditions and the like of a tophus
animal model in the prior art. The construction method of the tophus mouse model comprises the following steps: step 1, preparing a urate
crystal-
matrigel suspension; and 2, injecting the urate
crystal-
matrigel suspension prepared in the step 1 into the
subcutaneous tissue of the back of a mouse. According to the construction method of the gouty stone mouse model, the experiment threshold and operation cost are low,
repeatability is good, stability is high, the core
pathological process of the gouty stone can be stably represented, the nodule and
crystal morphology, the deposition state and the inflammatory characteristics can stably exist for at least four weeks after modeling, and the model has good application prospects. The requirements of long-term
lesion observation,
pathogenesis research and long-acting
drug screening of the tophus are met.
