系統詳細
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a critical protein that maintains the salt and water balance across various human organs, including the lungs, pancreas, and sweat glands. The primary function of CFTR is to act as a chloride channel, regulating the transport of chloride and bicarbonate ions across epithelial cell membranes, thereby maintaining tissue fluid balance and pH. This process is ATP-dependent and also modulates the activity of other ion channels and transport proteins [1-2]. Mutations in the CFTR gene can lead to chloride channel dysfunction, resulting in various diseases, with cystic fibrosis (CF) being the most common. CF is the most prevalent lethal genetic disease among Caucasians, with an incidence of approximately 1/2,500 to 1/1,800, and about 90,000 cases globally [3-4]. The disease is characterized by thickened mucus in the lungs, frequent respiratory infections, pancreatic insufficiency, and male infertility, typically due to vas deferens obstruction. The F508del (ΔF508) mutation is the most common pathogenic mutation in CF, with about 80% of CF patients carrying at least one allele of this mutation, and approximately 40% being homozygous [5]. This mutation causes the deletion of phenylalanine (F508) in the first nucleotide-binding domain (NBD1) of the CFTR protein, leading to misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mediated degradation, preventing CFTR from reaching the cell membrane and compromising chloride channel function, which results in chronic pulmonary symptoms [6-7]. Current treatments for CF mainly focus on CFTR modulators to restore the function of the mutated CFTR protein. CFTR modulators are classified into potentiators (which enhance CFTR function) and correctors (which assist in the proper folding and trafficking of CFTR to the cell membrane). Representative drugs include Ivacaftor, Lumacaftor, and triple-combination CFTR modulating therapy Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor [8].
This strain was developed by introducing the F508del mutation into the CFTR-humanized mouse model (Catalog Number: C001964), creating a humanized disease model. The introduction of the mutation results in the manifestation of CF-related phenotypes in mice, making it suitable for research into CF mechanisms and the screening, development, and evaluation of therapies targeting the CFTR F508del mutation. This strain requires feeding with intestinal cleansers to maintain survival after 3 weeks of age. In addition, based on the independently developed TurboKnockout fusion BAC recombination technology, Cyagen can also generate hot mutation models based on the CFTR-humanized strain and provide customized services for specific mutations to meet the experimental needs in pharmacology and other fields.

系統作製戦略

Figure 1. Construction strategy for the B6-hCFTR wild-type humanized model (Catalog Number: C001964): The region from 5'UTR to 3'UTR of mouse Cftr gene was replaced with the region from 5'UTR to 3'UTR of human CFTR gene.

Figure 2. Construction strategy for the B6-hCFTR*F508del point mutation humanized model (Catalog Number I001226): Gene editing technology was used to introduce the F508del mutation (c.1521_1523 delCTT) into exon 11 of the human CFTR gene in the B6-hCFTR mouse.
適用分野
This strain is suitable for studying the mechanisms underlying cystic fibrosis and evaluating targeted therapies in terms of their efficacy and pharmacodynamics.
検証 Data
1. Gene Expression Detection
(1)Liver, Gut, and Lung Gene Expression

Figure 3. Comparison of human CFTR and mouse Cftr gene expression in tissues of wild-type (WT) mice, B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI, and B6-hCFTR*F508del mice (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508). RT-qPCR results showed that human CFTR gene expression was detected in the liver, intestines, and lungs of B6-hCFTR and B6-hCFTR*F508del mice, with no endogenous mouse Cftr gene expression. The expression level of human CFTR in B6-hCFTR*F508del mice was slightly lower than in B6-hCFTR mice.
(ND:Not detected)
(2)Ileum Gene Expression

Figure 4. Expression of human CFTR gene and mouse Cftr gene in the ileum of wild-type mice (WT), B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI) and B6-hCFTR*F508del (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) mice (16-week-old, homozygous). The results of RT-qPCR detection show that the expression of human CFTR gene was detected in the ileum of both B6-hCFTR mice and B6-hCFTR*F508del mice, and there was no expression of mouse endogenous Cftr gene. In contrast, only the expression of mouse Cftr gene was present in the ileum of WT mice.
(ND:Not detected)
2. Survival Curve & Growth Curve

Figure 5. Survival curve and growth curve of homozygous B6-hCFTR*F508del (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) mice. Homozygous B6-hCFTR*F508del mice began to die at 3 weeks of age, and the mortality rate tended to decrease after 8 weeks. Prophylactic PGE treatment initiated after weaning (at 3 weeks of age) significantly improved their survival rate.
3. Appearance of mouse incisors

Figure 7. Appearance of the incisors of wild-type (WT) mice, B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI), and B6-hCFTR*F508del (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) mice (6-week-old, female). The incisors of WT mice are yellow; those of hCFTRKI/KI mice are white. The incisors of hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508 mice are white, and some of these mice show a slight enamel-like appearance on their incisors.
4. Histopathological Observations
(1)Intestinal Histopathology

Figure 8. Intestinal tissue pathology comparison of wild-type (WT) mice, B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI), and B6-hCFTR*F508del mice (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) at 5 weeks of age. H&E staining results showed significant pathological features in B6-hCFTR*F508del mice, including goblet cell hyperplasia (red arrows), mucus accumulation (green arrows), and increased intestinal wall thickness (black arrows). B6-hCFTR mice showed mild abnormal phenotypes, while wild-type mice had normal intestinal tissue.
(2)Pulmonary Tissue Histopathology

Figure 9. Comparison of pulmonary tissue pathology among wild-type mice (WT), B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI), and B6-hCFTR*F508del (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) mice (16-week-old, homozygous, male). The results showed that in the lungs of WT, hCFTRKI/KI, and hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508 mice, there were perivascular and peribronchial inflammation accompanied by edema and fat hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration and thickening of the alveolar walls, and local alveolar wall necrosis. There was no obvious increase or accumulation of bronchial mucus. The pathological scores indicated background lesions (with B6N as the blank control), and no obvious non-background damage was observed. (n ≥ 3, Bars represent mean ± SEM)
5. Intestinal Wall Thickness and Goblet Cell Count

Figure 10. Comparison of intestinal wall thickness and goblet cell count in wild-type (WT) mice, B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI), and B6-hCFTR*F508del mice (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) at 5 weeks of age. Quantitative analysis showed significantly increased ileal and jejunal wall thickness and goblet cell count in B6-hCFTR*F508del mice compared to wild-type and B6-hCFTR mice.

Figure 11. Comparison of the intestinal wall thickness and the number of goblet cells among wild-type mice (WT), B6-hCFTR mice (hCFTRKI/KI), and B6-hCFTR*F508del (hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508) mice (16-week-old, homozygous, male, n = 4, Bars represent mean ± SEM). The pathological sections of the small intestine were observed under a microscope at 80X magnification. Three random sites within the small intestine were selected to measure the intestinal wall thickness and conduct quantitative analysis. Three random sites were selected under a 40X field of view to count the number of goblet cells. The results showed that in hCFTRKI/KI mice, there was a slight increase in goblet cells in the small intestinal villi, with a small amount of mucus visible. In hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508 mice, the number of goblet cells in the small intestine increased, there was obvious accumulation of mucus in the crypts, the thickness of the intestinal wall increased, and it was clearly evident that the intestinal wall of the small intestine in hCFTRΔF508/ΔF508 mice became thicker (the black arrow indicates the thickness of the intestinal wall).
