葡聚糖硫酸钠致溃疡性结肠炎小鼠模型的建立

Establishment of dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis model in mice

目的 建立小鼠溃疡性结肠炎模型。方法 给小鼠自由饮用5％葡聚糖硫酸钠（DSS）溶液7d后,改为蒸馏水自由饮用10d,如此进行4个循环,每天观察症状。在第1个循环和第4个循环后剖杀小鼠,取出整段结肠行实体显微镜观察及切片组织学研究。结果 所观察的症状、实体显微镜像、组织学病理改变均与人类溃疡性结肠炎类似。结论 此模型制作方法简便,重复性良好,可应用于多种实验研究。

Objective To establish a model of ulcerative colitis in mice. Methods The mice were given 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution freely for 7 consecutive days after which distilled water was given in stead for another 10 d, to complete one cycle of whole treatment plan that consisted of 4 such cycles. The symptoms were observed daily. At the end of the first and the fourth cycle respectively, the mice were killed for examining the whole colon under anatomic microscopy and serial tissue sections were prepared for histological observation. Results The symptoms observed in the mice including hematochezia diarrhea and loss of the body weight were similar to those of ulcerative colitis patients. Histological examination revealed infiltration of neutrocytophilia and lymphocythemia, with loss of integrity of the colon mucosa in the gland. Conclusion This mouse model of ulcerative colitis can be easily induced and readily applied in various studies of ulcerative colitis.
