Summary

中国传统的治疗皮肤刮,刮痧,导致皮下微血管的血液外渗。我们报告一个HO – 1的生物发光成像的协议<em>荧光素酶</em转基因小鼠证明,刮痧上调血红素氧合- 1(HO – 1)在多器官。

Abstract

刮痧是一种传统的中国民间疗法,采用皮肤刮引起皮下微血管的血液外渗和瘀伤。发光的光学成像协议HO – 1 -<em>荧光素酶</em报告>在这个手稿的转基因小鼠提供了一个快速<em>在体内</em>检测的上调血红素氧合酶-1(HO – 1)在刮痧过程中的基因表达。 HO – 1一直提供抗氧化应激的细胞保护作用。上调HO – 1,生物发光输出评估,被认为是代表循环血红蛋白刮痧发布的产品具有抗氧化反应。刮痧是管理比润滑皮肤瘀斑(分裂出血)或瘀斑(跌打损伤)观察表明从皮下毛细血管的血液外渗,直到背面或其他有针对性的转基因小鼠的身体的一部分的顺利勺边重复笔画。刮痧后,进行了生物发光成像会几天每天跟随多个内脏器官的HO – 1表达的动态。

Protocol

女HO – 1的荧光素酶的转基因小鼠(年龄4-6周)可从Taconic的农场,公司购买的,到达目的地后,小鼠被放置至少4天,让住宿在畜舍设施。 生物发光成像的准备工作: 称量每个HO – 1的鼠标。动物的体重是需要计算的荧光素的用量。 脱毛:用棉花交换申请超过头发卸妆奈尔®腹部和/或背面的动物。等待5到10秒。使用干净的棉布擦去头发的交换。?…

Discussion

,血红素加氧酶的诱导形成,HO – 1的转录上调的因素很多,包括血红素,过氧化氢,紫外线照射,缺氧,和物理应力。如全身显像报道,HO – 1生物发光协议提供了一个全身多个器官中的表达,HO – 1的快照。在小动物,生物发光成像允许高灵敏度体内实时定量全身基因表达的改变纵向光学评估,如图所示。生物荧光分子成像,降低了成本,增加了小动物的基因表达分析的吞吐量,使得实际,迅速实…
