Induced Disease Models

Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

Lithocholic acid (LCA) can be used to induce cholestasis models^[6]^[7].

Induction of cholestasis^[6]^[7]

Background

LCA has certain toxicity to hepatocytes, which can change bile secretion through its osmotic effect and cause cholestasis by changing the cell membrane components of hepatocytes that are rich in bile duct membranes.

Specific Modeling Methods

Rat: Wistar • male • 250 ~ 300 g (period: 1 h)
Administration: 0.2 μmol/100 g • iv • killed after 1 h
Mice: ICR • male • 5-7-week-old (period: 3 days)
Administration: 150 mg/kg • po • 2 times a day for 5 times

Note

(1) LCA (i.v.) is taken up in 7.5% bovine serum albumin and 0.45% saline.
(2) LCA (p.o.) is taken up in corn oil. The animals were sacrificed 12 h following the 5th treatment. The blood samples (50 μl) can be collected by tail bleeding at 0, 12, 24 and 36 h following the 1st dose.

Modeling Indicators

Histological changes: There was a significant increase in bile flow shortly after LCA injection, after which bile flow decreased significantly. Pathological changes can be observed in liver tissue, including liver necrosis and diffuse vacuoles.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
