The invention discloses a GATA4
gene-based MAFLD
animal model construction method and application in prevention and treatment drugs, and belongs to the field of mouse model construction, and the GATA4
gene-based MAFLD MASH
animal model construction method comprises the following steps: S1, hybridizing a GATA flox transgenic
hybrid mouse and a Vil1-Cre transgenic mouse to obtain an F1 generation, and hybridizing the GATA flox transgenic
hybrid mouse and a Vil1-Cre transgenic mouse with the
genotype of GATA4 flox / +, Vil1-Cre transgenic mouse in the F1 generation to obtain a GATA4 flox / +, Vil1-Cre transgenic mouse to obtain a GATA4 flox / +, Vil1-Cre transgenic mouse; the method comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out
selfing on transgenic mice with GATA4 flox / flox and Vil1-Cre to obtain F2-generation mice, and S2, sequentially giving GATA4 intestinal specific knockout mice with genotypes of GATA4 flox / flox and Vil1-Cre in the F2-generation mice with high-fat and high-
cholesterol feed (HFD), and inducing to obtain an intestinal GATA4 specific knockout
metabolism-related
steatohepatitis (MASH) and
hepatic fibrosis mouse model. The invention provides a model construction method of MASH and
hepatic fibrosis animals in which the intestinal GATA4
gene is specifically knocked out, and application of the intestinal GATA4 serving as a target to preparation of drugs for preventing and treating related diseases such as
liver injury and liver diseases caused by the MASH, and the intestinal GATA4 has an important clinical prospect.
