Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、突然変異によっで生じた病態発現マウスに関する。
本発明の病態発現マウスは血小板減少症及び自己免疫病マウスに係り、特に血小板減少症治療薬及び自己免疫病治療薬のin vivo評価系として有用な血小板減少症及び自己免疫病マウスに関する。なお、この明細書中のMRL/lprin vivoなどのアンダーラインを引いた英文字は、イタリックの字体を表わすものとする。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ヒトの疾患治療薬を研究開発するためには、各種の研究用の疾患モデルを必要とする。ヒトの特発性血小板減少症治療薬及び自己免疫病治療薬の疾患モデルとしては、例えば、NZWマウスの雌とBXSB系マウスの雄とのF1世代(以下「(W/B)F1」と記す)の雄が用いられている。このマウスは、ヒトの特発性血小板減少性紫斑病及び自己免疫病の治療薬のin vivo評価のために供されている。(ブリティシュ・ジャーナル・オブ・ヘマトロジー、91巻、691〜696頁、1995年及びブラッド,79巻,942〜947頁,1992年)
また、これまでに知られている自己免疫病のモデルとしては、疾患モデル動物ハンドブックNo.2、296〜300頁、昭和57年、医歯薬出版(株)記載にあるMRL/Mp−1pr1pr(以下、MRL/1prと記す)、BXSB/Mp(以下、BXSBと記す)、及び特開平5−103562号記載のEOD/Kjマウス等が挙げられる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ヒトの疾患治療薬を疾患モデルを用いて開発する場合は、薬剤による寿命効果や血液学的、血清学的及び病理組織学的な改善効果を判定する必要があるが、病態を複数発症するモデルは薬剤の効果判定を複雑にする。
従来の(W/B)F1マウスはヒトの自己免疫性血小板減少症モデルであるが、本来は、腎炎を遺伝的に発症するマウスとして報告されている。そのため、多くの(W/B)F1マウスは重症の血小板減少症を呈する前に腎炎のために死亡してしまう。つまり、血小板減少症治療薬の開発研究に大きな制約を与えている。従って、自己免疫性血小板減少症をより特異的に遺伝的に発症するモデルの出現が待たれている。
また、自己免疫病を発症するモデルであるMRL/1pr、BXSB、EOD/Kjマウスも特徴として腎炎を発症し腎炎の悪化のために死亡してしまう。そのため、ある特定の症状が有意に発症進行するモデルが望まれている。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、鋭意検討の結果、上述の不都合を除去するために、血小板減少症及び自己免疫病を特性として劣性遺伝し、腎炎の発症を抑制したマウスの樹立、より具体的にはEOD/Kjマウスから腎炎の発症を抑制した突然変異系を樹立したことに基づき成し遂げられた。
すなわち、本発明は、血小板減少症及び自己免疫病を自然発症することを特性として劣性に遺伝する系統に属し、腎炎の発症が抑制されたマウスに関する。
更には本発明は腎炎及び自己免疫病を発症し血小板減少も特性として有すマウスから、腎炎を発症するという特性を抑制することにより、血小板減少症及び自己免疫病を自然発症することを特性として劣性に遺伝する系統に属するマウスに関する。
更には、本発明は腎炎及び自己免疫病を発症し、血小板減少も特性として有すEOD/Kjマウスから腎炎を発症する特性を抑制することにより、劣性に遺伝する特性として更にベージュ色の毛色を有す血小板減少症及び自己免疫病マウスに関する。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明においてEOD/Kjマウスとは特開平5−103562号記載のMRL/1pr系の雌とBXSB系の雄とを掛け合わせて選択した腎炎及び自己免疫病を早期に発症して死亡する特性を遺伝する近交系化を図ったマウスであり、また、EOD/Kjマウスは血小板の著名な減少を病気の発症に伴い起こることが知られている。EOD/Kjマウスは特開平5−103562号記載の生産方法により作成、供給される。
本発明の血小板減少症及び自己免疫病マウス(以下「本発明マウス」と記す)は、(MRL/1prxBXSB)リコンビナント近交系であるEOD/Kj
マウスの突然変異系として確立された近交系であり、SAT/HiNk(以下「SAT」と記す)と命名する。SATの名は、その大きな特徴である自然発症性自己免疫性血小板減少症(Spontaneous Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia)に由来するものである。
【0006】
このマウスの雄は、lpr及びYaa、また、雌はlprという強力な自己免疫現象促進遺伝子を有し、且つ、これらの遺伝子の特徴を十分引き出す背景遺伝子群との関係で、極めて特徴的な重度の血小板減少症を発症する。これまでに知られている自己免疫病のモデルであるMRL/Mp−lprlpr(以下「MRL/lpr」と記す)、BXSB/Mp(以下「BXSB」と記す)、(W/B)F1の雄やEOD/Kjマウスの特徴は腎炎の発症と腎炎の悪化による死亡である。一方、本発明でのマウスは重度の血小板減少症を呈し、あるいは赤血球減少症を併発する。また、このマウスでの腎炎の程度は軽微であり、腎不全による死亡はまれであるので、血小板減少症治療薬及び自己免疫病治療薬のin vivo評価系として極めて有望なものと思われる。
【0007】
本発明マウスの特徴としては、以下の3つが主に挙げられる。
(1)血小板減少症及び自己免疫病を発症すること。
(2)血小板に対する自己抗体が出現し、ヒトの特発性血小板減少性紫斑病や全身性エリテマトーデスなどの自己免疫病で観察される血小板減少症に類似したものである。
(3)高率にクリオグロブリンを血症を認め、抗DNA抗体が上昇し、かつ、全身リンパ節の腫脹や軽微な腎炎を伴う自己免疫病を発症する。
【0008】
本発明マウスSATマウスの同定
表1に示したように、解析範囲ではSATマウスは遺伝的にEOD/Kjマウスと均一であり、EOD/Kjマウスの突然変異系として矛盾のない所見をしめしている。従って、SATマウスはMRL/lpr系とBXSB系を起源とするリコンビナント近交系であるEOD/Kjマウスと近似した遺伝的背景を持つと考えられる。つまり、MRL/lpr系を起源とし、そして、著明なリンパ節の腫脹を伴うことから、lpr遺伝子をホモの状態で有することが、また、BXSB系の雄を起源とすることから、Y遺伝子上にあるとされるYaa遺伝子を有することも確実である。
【0009】

【0010】
また、SATマウスの毛色はベージュ色であり、野性色のEOD/Kjマウスとは外観からも容易に区別される。
SATマウスの毛色は劣性遺伝することもわかった。即ち、SATマウスとEOD/Kjマウスの第一世代はEODマウスと同様に、野性色であった。この野性色の第一世代の交配によって得られた第二世代にはメンデルス遺伝の法則に従って、野性色の他に、ベージュ色のSATマウスが得られる。
なお、本出願人は、本発明マウスの受精卵を特許法施行規則第27条の3第1項の規定に準じて分譲する用意がある。
【0011】
以下に、本発明マウスの生産維持方法について述べる。
本発明SATマウスは、他の近交系と同様に、原則として、兄妹交配によって維持する。但し、兄妹交配により産児数の著しい減少、発育不全あるいは奇形を認めた場合には、親子交配も選択可能とする。
また、実験などで大量に同一条件のこのマウスを必要とするときには、EOD/KjマウスとSATマウスとのF1世代に、SATマウスを交配することによっても可能である。
【0012】
本発明マウスにおける病態特性は、以下のように特徴づけられる。
(1)血小板減少症
一般的に、正常マウスの血小板数はおよそ70〜100万/μl程度である(実験動物学の生物学的特性データ、田嶋嘉雄監修、ソフトサイエンス社 1989年)。本発明マウスの末梢血中の血小板数の推移を図1および図2に示した。加齢と共に、雌雄ともに血小板数の減少を認めた。
次に、抗血小板抗体の測定について示す。
自己免疫性血小板減少症は血小板に対する自己抗体の産生が引き金となる。即ち、抗体の結合した血小板は全身の網内系組織で速やかに破壊されるため、血小板の寿命が著しく短くなる。このマウスの血漿中の抗血小板抗体価の推移を図3および図4に示した。抗血小板抗体価はEnzyme−Linked Immunosorbent Assay(Br.J.Haematol. 91,691〜696,1995)を用いて測定した。大部分のSATマウスは加齢と共に、正常なBALB/cマウス血漿の平均56単位より高い値を示した。
【0013】
また、特発性血小板減少性紫斑病の診断基準としては、血中の血小板表面免疫グロブリンGの増量を測定する方法が用いられている(厚生省特定疾患特発性造血障害調査研究班、昭和63年研究業績報告書、p38−60、1988)。
本発明の血小板減少症(30万/mm3 以下)を呈したSATマウスについて、血中血小板表面免疫グロブリンGの増量を測定したところ、正常マウスに比較して高値を示す事が判った。これらの結果を図5に示した。
これらにより、本発明マウスの血小板減少症を発症することが判り、血小板に対する自己抗体が出現し、ヒトの特発性血小板減少性紫斑病や全身エリテマトーデスなどの自己免疫病で観察される血小板減少症に類似したものである。
なお、本発明マウスが血小板減少症の病態モデルとして可能であるのは、EOD/Kjマウス等からの腎炎の発症及びこれによる死亡率を抑制したためによる長期生存に因ることが大きい。
【0014】
(2)自己免疫病
(i)クリオグロブリン血症について
クリオグロブリンは免疫グロブリンと補体成分などの非免疫グロブリンから構成され、血液温度が30°C前後でも析出することがある。クリオグロブリンは血管内で他の免疫グロブリン、補体、フィブロネクチンなどと凝集物を形成することにより血栓形成、あるいは免疫複合体の形成による血管炎や腎炎発症の原因とも考えられている。このマウスの血清クリオグロブリン率を測定した(リウマチ、29巻、p220−227,1989年)。表2に示した如く、加齢につれてクリオグロブリンの出現を認めた。
【0015】
【表2】
Figure 0003901271
【0016】
(ii)腎炎について
腎機能の指標として血中尿素窒素(Blood Urea Nitorgen,BUN)値を測定した。一般に正常マウスのBUN値は25mg/dl以下(実験動物学の生物学的特性データ、田嶋嘉雄監修、ソフトサイエンス社)である。図6および図7に示したように、このマウスの腎機能は軽度に低下していることが認められたが、死因と考えられる重度の高尿素血症を呈するマウスは稀であった。
また、本発明マウスは全身リンパ節の腫脹、皮膚潰瘍も観察された。
以上のように、本発明マウスは、クリオグロブリン血症を認め、腎炎や全身リンパ節の腫脹、及び皮膚潰瘍を伴う自己免疫病を発症した。
【0017】
(3)本発明マウスの生存率
本発明マウス(SAT)マウスの生存率を観察したところ、雄が196日(n=12、中間値)、雌が238日(n=16、中間値)であった。
一方、比較対象となるEOD/Kjマウスの生存率は雄が82日(50%生存率)雌が108日(50%生存率)であり(特開平5−103562号)、更には(W/B)F1の雄は137日(中間値)であった(ブリティシュ・ジャーナル・オブ・エマトロジー、91巻、691−696頁、1995年)。これら、対象マウスは、いずれも腎炎、発症を原因として死亡したものであるが、本発明マウス(SAT)はこれらに比較して腎炎の発症が抑制され長期に生存することが確認され、病態モデルとして有用である。
【0018】
【実施例】
以下に本発明マウスの生産に関する実施例を示す。
5〜7週令の本発明マウス(SATマウス)の雌雄を各々ホモ接合体(病態発現マウス、ベージュ色の毛色)、ヘテロ接合体(外見上は正常、野性色)に分け、これらを交配することにより仔を生産した。交配組合せは(1)ホモ:ホモ(雌:雄)が10組、(2)ホモ:ヘテロ(雌:雄)が14組、(3)ヘテロ:ホモ(雌:雄)が28組、(4)ヘテロ:ヘテロ(雌:雄)15組であった。出産仔総数は386匹でありホモ仔(病態発現マウス)は153匹(39.6%)、一方ヘテロ仔は233匹(60.4%)であった。詳細な繁殖成績を表3に示す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a disease-expressing mouse caused by mutation.
The pathological expression mouse of the present invention relates to a thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease mouse, and more particularly to a thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease mouse useful as an in vivo evaluation system for a therapeutic agent for thrombocytopenia and a therapeutic agent for autoimmune disease. In this specification, an English character with an underline such as MRL / lpr or in vivo represents an italic font.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to research and develop therapeutic drugs for human diseases, various research disease models are required. Examples of a disease model of a therapeutic drug for idiopathic thrombocytopenia and a therapeutic drug for autoimmune diseases in humans include, for example, the F1 generation of a female NZW mouse and a male BXSB mouse (hereinafter referred to as “(W / B) F1”). The male is used. The mice are being used for in vivo evaluation of therapeutics for human idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune diseases. (British Journal of Hematology, 91, 691-696, 1995 and Brad, 79, 942-947, 1992)
Moreover, as a model of an autoimmune disease known so far, the disease model animal handbook No. 2,296~300 pages, 1982, Ishiyakushuppan Corporation in according MRL / Mp- 1pr / 1pr (hereinafter referred to as MRL / 1pr), BXSB / Mp ( hereinafter, referred to as BXSB), and Examples thereof include EOD / Kj mice described in JP-A-5-103562.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When developing a human disease treatment drug using a disease model, it is necessary to determine the long-term effect and hematological, serological and histopathological improvement effect of the drug. Complicates the determination of drug effects.
Conventional (W / B) F1 mice are human autoimmune thrombocytopenia models, but are originally reported as mice that genetically develop nephritis. Therefore, many (W / B) F1 mice die due to nephritis before presenting severe thrombocytopenia. In other words, it places great constraints on research and development of thrombocytopenia drugs. Therefore, the emergence of models that genetically develop autoimmune thrombocytopenia more specifically is awaited.
Moreover, a model of developing autoimmune diseases MRL / 1pr, BXSB, EOD / Kj mice will die because of the deterioration of nephritis developed as a feature glomerulonephritis. Therefore, a model in which a specific symptom progresses significantly is desired.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies, the present invention has established a mouse that has inherited recessive inheritance characterized by thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease to suppress the onset of nephritis, more specifically EOD / Kj. This was achieved based on the establishment of a mutant system that suppressed the development of nephritis from mice.
That is, the present invention relates to a mouse that belongs to a recessively inherited strain characterized by the spontaneous development of thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease, and the onset of nephritis is suppressed.
Furthermore, the present invention is characterized by spontaneously developing thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease by suppressing the property of developing nephritis from a mouse that develops nephritis and autoimmune disease and also has thrombocytopenia. The present invention relates to a mouse belonging to a recessively inherited strain.
Furthermore, the present invention suppresses the characteristic of developing nephritis from EOD / Kj mice that develop nephritis and autoimmune disease and also have thrombocytopenia, thereby further improving the beige color as a characteristic inherited recessive. The present invention relates to thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease mice.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The characteristics and EOD / Kj mice died developed nephritis was selected by multiplying a male female and BXSB system of MRL / 1pr system according JP-A-5-103562 and autoimmune diseases early in the present invention This is an inbred mouse that is inherited, and EOD / Kj mice are known to cause a significant decrease in platelets with the onset of disease. The EOD / Kj mouse is prepared and supplied by the production method described in JP-A-5-103562.
Thrombocytopenia and autoimmune diseases mouse of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the present invention mouse") is, (MRL / 1pr xBXSB) recombinant inbred EOD / Kj
It is an inbred line established as a murine mutation system and is named SAT / HiNk (hereinafter referred to as “SAT”). The name of SAT is derived from its autonomic autoimmune thrombocytopenia, which is a major feature of the SAT.
[0006]
The male of this mouse has lpr and Yaa , and the female has a strong autoimmune phenomenon-promoting gene called lpr , and has a very characteristic severity in relation to a background gene group that sufficiently draws the characteristics of these genes. Develops thrombocytopenia. MRL / Mp- lpr / lpr (hereinafter referred to as “MRL / lpr ”), BXSB / Mp (hereinafter referred to as “BXSB”), (W / B) F1 which are models of autoimmune diseases known so far The characteristics of males and EOD / Kj mice are the onset of nephritis and death due to worsening nephritis. On the other hand, the mouse of the present invention exhibits severe thrombocytopenia or erythrocytopenia. Further, since the degree of nephritis in this mouse is slight and death due to renal failure is rare, it seems very promising as an in vivo evaluation system for thrombocytopenia and autoimmune diseases.
[0007]
The following three are the main features of the mouse of the present invention.
(1) To develop thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease.
(2) Autoantibodies against platelets appear and are similar to thrombocytopenia observed in autoimmune diseases such as human idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus.
(3) Cryoglobulin is observed at a high rate, anti-DNA antibodies are increased, and autoimmune disease accompanied by swelling of systemic lymph nodes and slight nephritis develops.
[0008]
Identification of the mouse SAT mouse of the present invention As shown in Table 1, the SAT mouse is genetically homogeneous with the EOD / Kj mouse in the analysis range, and shows consistent findings as a mutation system of the EOD / Kj mouse. . Therefore, SAT mice are considered to have a genetic background similar to EOD / Kj mice, which are recombinant inbred lines originating from the MRL / lpr system and the BXSB system. That is, since it originates from the MRL / lpr system and is accompanied by significant lymph node swelling, it has the lpr gene in a homozygous state, and it originates from a male of the BXSB system. It is also certain to have a Yaa gene that is said to be on top.
[0009]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003901271
Figure 0003901271
[0010]
In addition, the hair color of the SAT mouse is beige, and it can be easily distinguished from the wild-colored EOD / Kj mouse by appearance.
It was also found that the coat color of SAT mice was inherited recessive. That is, the first generation of SAT mice and EOD / Kj mice were wild colors, similar to EOD mice. In the second generation obtained by mating the first generation of wild colors, beige SAT mice are obtained in addition to wild colors according to the rules of Mendelian inheritance.
The applicant is ready to distribute fertilized eggs of the mouse of the present invention in accordance with Article 27-3, Paragraph 1 of the Patent Law Enforcement Regulations.
[0011]
The method for maintaining the production of the mouse of the present invention will be described below.
The SAT mouse of the present invention is maintained by brother-sister mating in principle, as in other inbred lines. However, if a significant decrease in the number of babies, growth failure or malformation is observed due to sibling mating, parent-child mating can also be selected.
Also, when a large amount of this mouse under the same conditions is required in experiments or the like, it is also possible to cross SAT mice to the F1 generation of EOD / Kj mice and SAT mice.
[0012]
The pathological characteristics in the mouse of the present invention are characterized as follows.
(1) Thrombocytopenia Generally, normal mice have a platelet count of about 7,000 to 1,000,000 / μl (biological characteristic data of experimental zoology, supervised by Yoshio Tajima, Soft Science 1989). The transition of the number of platelets in the peripheral blood of the mouse of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. With increasing age, the number of platelets decreased in both sexes.
Next, measurement of antiplatelet antibodies will be described.
Autoimmune thrombocytopenia is triggered by the production of autoantibodies against platelets. That is, the antibody-bound platelets are rapidly destroyed in the entire reticuloendothelial tissue, so that the platelet life is significantly shortened. The transition of the antiplatelet antibody titer in the plasma of this mouse is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The antiplatelet antibody titer was measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Br. J. Haematol. 91 , 691-696, 1995). Most SAT mice showed higher values with age than the average 56 units of normal BALB / c mouse plasma.
[0013]
In addition, as a diagnostic standard for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a method of measuring an increase in platelet surface immunoglobulin G in the blood is used (Research Group for Idiopathic Hematopoietic Disorders, Specified Diseases, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Study in 1988) Performance Report, p38-60, 1988).
When SAT mice exhibiting thrombocytopenia (300,000 / mm 3 or less) of the present invention were measured for an increase in blood platelet surface immunoglobulin G, they were found to be higher than normal mice. These results are shown in FIG.
From these, it was found that thrombocytopenia of the mouse of the present invention was developed, and autoantibodies against platelets appeared, resulting in thrombocytopenia observed in autoimmune diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus in humans. It is similar.
The reason why the mouse of the present invention can be used as a pathological model of thrombocytopenia is largely due to long-term survival due to suppression of the onset of nephritis from the EOD / Kj mouse and the like and the resulting mortality rate.
[0014]
(2) Autoimmune disease (i) Cryoglobulinemia Cryoglobulin is composed of immunoglobulins and non-immunoglobulins such as complement components, and may precipitate even at a blood temperature of around 30 ° C. Cryoglobulin is also considered to cause vasculitis and nephritis due to thrombus formation by forming aggregates with other immunoglobulins, complements, fibronectin and the like in the blood vessels. The serum cryoglobulin rate of this mouse was measured (Rheumatoid, 29, p220-227, 1989). As shown in Table 2, the appearance of cryoglobulin was observed with aging.
[0015]
[Table 2]
Figure 0003901271
[0016]
(Ii) Regarding nephritis, blood urea nitrogen (Blood Nitergen, BUN) value was measured as an index of renal function. In general, the BUN value of normal mice is 25 mg / dl or less (biological characteristic data of experimental zoology, supervised by Yoshio Tajima, Soft Science). As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, it was recognized that the kidney function of this mouse was slightly lowered, but a mouse exhibiting severe hyperurea considered to be a cause of death was rare.
In addition, swelling of the systemic lymph nodes and skin ulcers were observed in the mice of the present invention.
As described above, the mouse of the present invention showed cryoglobulinemia and developed autoimmune disease accompanied by nephritis, swelling of systemic lymph nodes, and skin ulcer.
[0017]
(3) Survival rate of the mouse of the present invention When the survival rate of the mouse of the present invention (SAT) was observed, the male was 196 days (n = 12, intermediate value) and the female was 238 days (n = 16, intermediate value). there were.
On the other hand, the survival rate of EOD / Kj mice to be compared is 82 days for males (50% survival rate) and 108 days for females (50% survival rate) (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-103562). B) F1 males were 137 days (intermediate) (British Journal of Ematology, 91, 691-696, 1995). These target mice were all killed due to nephritis and onset, but the mice of the present invention (SAT) were confirmed to be less susceptible to the onset of nephritis and to survive for a long time as compared to these mice. Useful as.
[0018]
【Example】
Examples relating to the production of the mouse of the present invention are shown below.
The male and female mice of the present invention (SAT mice) of 5 to 7 weeks of age are divided into homozygotes (pathologically expressing mice, beige color) and heterozygotes (normally normal, wild color), and these are mated. Pups were produced. (1) Homo: Homo (female: male) 10 pairs, (2) Homo: hetero (female: male) 14 sets, (3) Hetero: homo (female: male) 28 sets, (4 ) Hetero: Hetero (female: male) 15 pairs. Total number of offspring was 386, 153 homozygous (pathologically expressing mice) (39.6%), and 233 heterozygous (60.4%). Detailed breeding results are shown in Table 3.

【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a thrombocytopenia and autoimmune disease mouse having a characteristic that is extremely valuable as an in vivo evaluation system for a therapeutic agent for human thrombocytopenia and a therapeutic agent for autoimmune disease can be obtained. Thus, by more selectively genetically developing autoimmune thrombocytopenia, it can contribute to research and development of a specific drug for this type of disease and elucidation of the cause of the disease.
