To compare the degree of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)-like damage under different stress conditions in neonatal mice.
5-day-old C57BL/6 mice were assigned to: (A) breastfed and no stress factors; (B) breastfed+maternal separation (3 h daily); (C) breastfed+hypoxia+lipopolysaccharide (LPS-4 mg/kg/day); (D) hyperosmolar formula+hypoxia+LPS. Mice were killed at 9 days of life. Ileum and colon were stained for hematoxylin/eosin and blindly assessed. A scoring ≥2 was considered NEC. Data were compared using one-way ANOVA and reported as median (range).
Ileum-Mucosal injury was mild in group B (0.0-1). Hypoxia+LPS induced greater injury in group C (1.6, 1-2.5; p < 0.0001 to B) and D (2, 0.5-3.5; p < 0.0001 to B). There were no differences between group C and D (p = n.s.). There were no cases of NEC in group A or B, whereas NEC was present in 36 % group C and 68 % group D mice. Colon-a similar degree of mucosal injury was observed among group B (2, 1-3), C (1.7, 0-3) and D (1.5, 1-3; p = n.s.). NEC was present in 75 % of group B, 50 % of group C and 86 % of group D.
These models establish a spectrum of intestinal injury and are useful to investigate the variability of neonatal intestinal diseases, such as NEC.
比较新生小鼠在不同应激条件下坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC)样损伤的程度。
将5日龄的C57BL/6小鼠分为:(A)母乳喂养且无应激因素组;(B)母乳喂养+母婴分离(每天3小时)组;(C)母乳喂养+缺氧+脂多糖(LPS-4mg/kg/天)组;(D)高渗配方奶+缺氧+LPS组。在小鼠9日龄时处死。对回肠和结肠进行苏木精/伊红染色并进行盲法评估。评分≥2被认为是NEC。数据采用单因素方差分析进行比较,并以中位数(范围)报告。
回肠——B组黏膜损伤较轻(0.0-1)。缺氧+LPS在C组(1.6,1-2.5;与B组相比p<0.0001)和D组(2,0.5-3.5;与B组相比p<0.0001)诱导了更严重的损伤。C组和D组之间无差异(p=无统计学意义)。A组或B组无NEC病例,而C组36%的小鼠和D组68%的小鼠存在NEC。结肠——B组(2,1-3)、C组(1.7,0-3)和D组(1.5,1-3;p=无统计学意义)观察到相似程度的黏膜损伤。B组75%、C组50%和D组86%存在NEC。
这些模型建立了一系列肠道损伤,有助于研究新生儿肠道疾病如NEC的变异性。
