Summary

This manuscript provides a description of the methodology used to establish transduction-transplantation mouse models. A detailed account is given of technical errors to avoid when performing bone marrow transplants. A clear understanding should be gained of the importance of high viral titer, transfection/transduction, and irradiation.

Abstract

Transduction-transplantation is a quick and efficient way to model human hematologic malignancies in mice. This technique results in expression of the gene of interest in hematopoietic cells and can be used to study the gene’s role in normal and/or malignant hematopoiesis. This protocol provides a detailed description on how to perform transduction-transplantation using calreticulin (CALR) mutations recently identified in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) as an example. In this protocol whole bone marrow cells from 5-flurouracil (5-FU) treated donor mice are transduced with a retrovirus encoding mutant CALR and transplanted into lethally irradiated syngeneic hosts. Donor cells expressing mutant CALR are marked with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Transplanted mice develop an MPN phenotype including elevated platelets in the peripheral blood, expansion of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow, and bone marrow fibrosis. We provide a step-by-step account of how to generate retrovirus, calculate viral titer, transduce whole bone marrow cells, and transplant into irradiated recipient mice.

Introduction

Transduktion-transplantation er en nyttig metode til at modellere hæmatologiske maligniteter hos mus. Denne teknik har været særdeles værdifuldt for at studere myeloide maligniteter går tilbage til den første demonstration af, at ektopisk ekspression af BCR-ABL1 trofast kunne rekapitulere kronisk myeloid leukæmi i mus 1. Denne teknik har efterfølgende lettet omfattende undersøgelse af JAK2 V617F og MPL W515K / L muteret myeloproliferativ neoplasme (MPN).

MPN er en gruppe af hæmatologiske maligniteter er karakteriseret ved overproduktion af modne myeloide celler og knoglemarv fibrose. Disse sygdomme generelt skyldes den klonale udvidelse af en hæmatopoietisk stamcelle, der har erhvervet en somatisk mutation i enten Jak2, MPL eller CALR. Transduktion-transplantation JAK2 V617F og MPL W515K / L-modeller udviser de kliniske funktioner i Polycytæmia Vera og myelofibrose 2 5, </ Sup>. For nylig er en musemodel for calreticulin-muterede MPN også blevet genereret med transduktionen-transplantation metode 6. Disse mus udvikler en væsentlig thrombocytæmi-lignende sygdom med øgede blodplader, øget antal megakaryocytter og knoglemarv fibrose. Tilsammen har disse modeller ikke kun gav mulighed for at få indsigt i den molekylære patogenese MPN, men også evnen til at udvikle og studere lægemidler i en præ-kliniske omgivelser.

Dette håndskrift indeholder en detaljeret beskrivelse af transduktion-transplantation metode med fokus på CALRdel52 mutationen. Denne teknik indebærer transplantation af retroviralt transducerede knoglemarvsceller, der udtrykker mutant konstrukt i bestrålede syngene recipientmus.

Protocol

Denne undersøgelse blev godkendt og gennemført i overensstemmelse med anbefalingerne fra Institutional Animal Care og brug Udvalg på University of California, Irvine. Alle procedurer blev udført under isofluran anæstesi og blev gjort alle bestræbelser på at minimere lidelse. 1. Generering af ecotropisk retrovirus Forbered høj kvalitet plasmider med en koncentration på mindst 1 pg / pl anvendelse af enten et kommercielt maxi-prep-kit eller cæsiumchlorid oprensning.

Representative Results

Transduktionen-transplantation teknik resulterer i hæmatopoietisk rekonstruktion af de modtagende mus med celler, der udtrykker genet af interesse. Figur 1 viser en oversigt over den transduktion-transplantation musemodel af calreticulin muteret MPN. Kort fortalt retrovirus, der udtrykker CALRwt eller CALRdel52 anvendt til at inficere BM-celler fra en C57B / 6 donor mus. Transducerede celler transplanteres ind i bestrålede C57B / 6 modtager mus og donor celle transplan…

Discussion

Denne protokol giver en detaljeret beskrivelse af, hvordan man udfører knoglemarvstransplantationer i mus til at rekapitulere en væsentlig thrombocythemi-lignende sygdom med progression til myelofibrose med CALRdel52 mutation som føreren af ​​sygdom. Vellykket transplantation af celler, der udtrykker CALRdel52 resultater i øget blodplader, udvidelse af megakaryocytter og knoglemarvsfibrose. Som knoglemarvstransplantation er en flertrinsproces, er det vigtigt at erkende trin, hvor der kan undgås teknisk fejl at …
