3种大鼠实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎模型的差异

摘要

目的 比较3种大鼠实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎模型的差异.方法 采用皮下注射豚鼠脊髓匀浆+完全福氏佐剂,并辅以注射百日咳疫苗,诱导制备SD大鼠、Wistar大鼠和Lewis大鼠EAE模型,比较3组大鼠EAE的神经症状及中枢神经不同部位病理学变化.结果 与Lewis大鼠相比,SD大鼠和Wistar大鼠潜伏期均延长(P＜0.05),达峰时间相应推迟(P＜0.05),神经症状以Lewis大鼠最严重,其次为SD大鼠(P＜0.05)；病理结果显示,3组大鼠CNS均以脑干病理改变最为严重,其次颈髓,而大脑病变最轻；CNS各部位的炎症改变,以Lewis大鼠最明显,而Wistar大鼠最轻.结论 SD大鼠与Lewis大鼠EAE比较,疾病发生率接近,中枢炎症病理改变相似,两者均以脑干炎症变化最严重,故SD大鼠是国内适合制备EAE模型的实验动物.%Objective To compare the difference of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ( EAE) model in three strains of rats. Methods SD rats,Wistar rats and Lewis rats were induced to establish EAE model by subcutaneously injecting emulsified spinal cord homogenate of guinea - pig( GPSCH) with complete Freud adjuvant( CFA) and subcutaneously injecting Bordetella pertussis vaccine. The clinical scores and pathological changes of central nervous system were compared among the three strains of rats. Results Compared with Lewis rats, the latency of EAE in SD rats and Wistar rats were longer (P <0.05) ,and peak time of EAE in SD rats and Wistar rats were delayed (P <0. 05). The maximal clinical score in Lewis rats was highest,then those in SD rats was higher. The pathological results showed that brainstem in three strains of rats suffered the most severe lesions among all parts of CNS,then cervical cord,but cerebrum had the slightest nervous damage. Conclusion EAE in SD rats has almost similar incidence to EAE in Lewis rats, and inflammatory response and pathological changes of EAE are most serious in the brainstem in SD rats and Lewis rats. Therefor we concluded that SD rats are ideal animals for establishing EAE in China.
