Abstract:
Objective : To explore the method of using high-fat diet combined with angiotensin-Ⅱ ( Ang-Ⅱ) and β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) to establish the model of aortic dissection in mice．
Methods :24 C57BL /6J mice (4 weeks old，male) were randomly divided into control group［intraperitoneal injection of 0．9% sodium chloride solu- tion 10 ml / (kg · d) ］and experimental groups［Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / ( kg · d) group，Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / ( kg · d) + BAPN 0. 33 g / (kg · d) group］，each group with 8 mice ; all mice were given a high-fat diet and the mice weights were measured at the same time point and administered according to the weight standard．The dead mice were dissected immediately and the aorta was taken out for pathological section，then observed under the microscope．The morphology of aorta was detected by small animal ultrasound and the mice with obvious dissection were killed and dissected directly.
Results :After administration，the activity and appetite of mice in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group decreased most significantly，and the mortality rate of aortic dissection rupture and the success rate of modeling in this group were higher than those in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ group，while there was no significant change in the control group．Under the ultrasound of small animals，compared with the other two groups，the mice in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group showed the formation of abdominal aortic vascular false lumen and vascular enlargement．The mice that died during the administration were dissected immediately，and a large number of blood clots in the abdominal cavity and around the blood vessels could be seen．The mice with aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm could be seen under ultrasound in small animals，and severe adhesion between the vascular wall and the surrounding tissues could be found when dissected，while no obvious abnormalities were found in the blood vessels of the control group．The results of the staining showed that the false lumen of blood vessel wall was formed and the arrangement of elastin and collagen was disordered in the mice of high fat diet com- bined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group．The thickness of blood vessel wall in each group was statistically analyzed，and it was found that the blood vessels in the two experimental groups were thicker than those in the control group，which was statistically significant (P＜0. 001) ．The vascular wall of Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN + high-fat diet group showed severe elastin degradation．
Conclusion : High-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / (kg · d) and BAPN 0. 33 g / (kg · d) can establish an efficient model of aortic dissection in mice.
