目的探讨自身免疫性甲状腺炎伴发抑郁症动物模型的制备与评价,并基于NOD样受体蛋白-3(NOD-like receptor protein 3,NLRP3)/含半胱氨酸的天冬氨酸蛋白水解酶-1(cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1,Caspase-1)/消皮素D(gasdermin...目的探讨自身免疫性甲状腺炎伴发抑郁症动物模型的制备与评价,并基于NOD样受体蛋白-3(NOD-like receptor protein 3,NLRP3)/含半胱氨酸的天冬氨酸蛋白水解酶-1(cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1,Caspase-1)/消皮素D(gasdermin D,GSDMD)通路加以验证。方法32只NOD.H-2H4小鼠随机分为正常组(N组)、抑郁组(DP组)、自身免疫性甲状腺炎伴抑郁症组(AIT+DP组)、自身免疫性甲状腺炎组(AIT组),每组8只。N组正常饲养,DP组采取5周慢性不可预知温和刺激(chronic unpredictable mild stress,CUMS),AIT组予0.05%碘化钠水溶液建立自身免疫性甲状腺炎模型,AIT+DP组在建立AIT动物模型基础上施加5周CUMS建立AIT+DP动物模型。通过观测小鼠甲状腺组织结构及淋巴细胞浸润情况和血清甲状腺过氧化物酶抗体(thyroid peroxidase antibody,TPOAb)和甲状腺球蛋白抗体(anti-thyroid autoantibodies,TGAb)水平评价小鼠自身免疫性甲状腺炎模型是否制备成功;通过测定体重、糖水偏好率、旷场行为学(中央象限时间、中央象限比例、站立次数、排便次数、毛发梳理时间),大脑皮质、海马病理变化及大脑皮质小胶质细胞焦亡相关蛋白水平评价小鼠抑郁状态。模型小鼠同时符合上述自身免疫性甲状腺炎与抑郁症相关指标检测,则表明AIT+DP动物模型制备成功。结果与N组比较,AIT组与AIT+DP组血清TGAb、TPOAb水平显著增加(P<0.01),甲状腺可见大量炎细胞浸润,DP组与AIT+DP组小鼠中央象限时间、中央象限比例、站立次数、排便次数、毛发梳理时间有不同程度降低,大脑皮质神经胶质细胞增多,神经元细胞减少,伴有部分细胞核萎缩,NLRP3、IL-1β、Caspase-1、GSDMD-N蛋白表达水平显著上调,AIT+DP组尤为明显(P<0.01)。结论0.05%碘化钠水溶液与CUMS可较好地模拟AIT+DP模型动物外在表现与内在指标变化,可为AIT+DP疾病的研究提供动物模型参考。展开更多
