Summary

We present a surgical procedure to catheterize the intestinal lymph trunk in neonatal pigs to collect large quantities of lipid metabolism components from efferent lymph.

Abstract

Catheterization of the intestinal lymph trunk in neonatal pigs is a technique allowing for the long-term collection of large quantities of intestinal (central) efferent lymph. Importantly, the collection of central lymph from the intestine enables researchers to study both the mechanisms and lipid constitutes associated with lipid metabolism, intestinal inflammation and cancer metastasis, as well as cells involved in immune function and immunosurveillance. A ventral mid-line surgical approach permits excellent surgical exposure to the cranial abdomen and relatively easy access to the intestinal lymph trunk vessel that lies near the pancreas and the right ventral segment of the portal vein underneath the visceral aspect of the right liver lobe. The vessel is meticulously dissected and released from the surrounding fascia and then dilated with sutures allowing for insertion and subsequent securing of the catheter into the vessel. The catheter is exteriorized and approximately 1 L/24 hr of lymph is collected over a 7 day period. While this technique enables the collection of large quantities of central lymph over an extended period of time, the success depends on careful surgical dissection, tissue handling and close attention to proper surgical technique. This is particularly important with surgeries in young animals as the lymph vessels can easily tear, potentially leading to surgical and experimental failure. The video demonstrates an excellent surgical technique for the collection of intestinal lymph.

Introduction

Het lymfestelsel is een weinig bestudeerd gebied van fysiologie. Preklinische modellen van lymfatische catheterisatie voorkomen in verschillende diersoorten 1-8 en worden gebruikt door de farmaceutische industrie en onderzoeksinstellingen om de mechanismen die betrokken zijn bij lipiden 8-12 en drugs metabolisme 13-15, kanker metastase 16 met experimentele behandeling 17 te onderzoeken, en het immuunsysteem 18 -26. Deze studie onderzoekt het gebruik van intestinale lymfe trunk catheterisatie in een binnenlandse varken model van onderdelen van lipoproteïne metabolisme te meten. Lipoproteïnemetabolisme is betrokken bij de productie en uitscheiding van chylomicronen, evenals veranderingen in geassocieerde lipiden en totaal eiwit. Dit zijn belangrijke overwegingen zijn er grote verschillen tussen vetmetabolisme gebruikte diermodellen en mensen en als zodanig dienst varkens modellen voor intestinale lymfe verzamelen kon meer vergelijkbare informatie voor het bestuderen lipide metabolism bij mensen 27-31.

Verschillende chirurgische technieken worden gebruikt om de intestinale lymfe in grote diersoorten verzamelen: craniaal schouder aanpak (ductus thoracicus catheterisatie) 5, een zijdelingse bovenste flank benadering 32-34 en een ventrale middellijn of paramediane benadering 22,35. Deze video beschrijft in detail de chirurgische procedure bij varkens met een ventrale middellijn chirurgische benadering voor de katheterisatie van de intestinale lymfe stam. Zorgvuldige chirurgische techniek toelaat Werkwijze lymfatische katheterisatie grote hoeveelheden lymfe en de bestanddelen laat gedurende langere tijdsperioden.

Deze techniek opent een groot aantal toepassingen voor vele disciplines onderzoekt verschillende fysiologische functies. Toepassingen kunnen omvatten, maar zijn niet beperkt tot, hele lichaam lipoproteïne en lipidemetabolisme, immunosurveillance, tumor- genese en metastase, darmfunctie, en ontwikkeent en progressie van intestinale ontstekingsziekte.

Protocol

Alle procedures op in zowel de video en manuscript beschreven proefdieren werden goedgekeurd door de Institutional Animal Care en gebruik Comite en volgde de door de Canadese Raad van Animal Care vastgestelde richtlijnen. 1. Chirurgische anesthesie en chirurgische Voorbereiding van de Neonatale Pigs In een aparte hal, premedicate 25 kg varkens nabij de basis van de hals met een intramusculaire sedatieve anestheticum cocktail bevattende: azaperon (0,3 mg / kg), ketamine hydrochlori…

Representative Results

Lymfatische catheterisatie van de intestinale lymfatische kofferbak van neonatale varkens maakt verzameling van circa 1 l / 24 uur in het centrum van lymfe over een periode van 7 dagen. De gegevens die in deze experimenten lymfe bevatte componenten van vetmetabolisme, namelijk totale lymfe eiwit, lipoproteïne ApoB48, triglyceriden, totaal eiwit en cholesterol. Tabel 1 wat representatieve hoeveelheden van deze lipide bestanddelen uit samengevoegde monsters lymfe drie varkens. Met n…

Discussion

Het verzamelen van intestinale lymfe is een uitstekende methode om de mechanismen die betrokken zijn bij lipiden 8-12 en drugs 13-15 stofwisseling, kanker metastase 16,17, mobiele handel en het immuunsysteem 18-26, in verschillende experimentele diermodellen onderzoeken. Inderdaad, de mogelijkheid om grote hoeveelheden hetzij perifere (afferente) en centrale (efferente vaten en grote koffer) lymfe oogsten gedurende langere bijzonder belang zijn voor het begrijpen van tijdelijk…
