Abstract:
Objective:To study the construction of Bmp5 short ear homozygous mouse model and the feasibility of its application in the study of congenital microtia.
Methods:Twelve Bmp5 short-ear mouse were introduced from JAX laboratory in the United States. Ten pregnant Bmp5 short-ear mouse were obtained by breeding. DNA was extracted from the tail of 86 fetal rats aged 14.5 days and sequenced by Sanger method. Three pregnant mice were born normally, and the young mouse was fed conventionally. Three 40-day-old mice with auricle deformity and normal auricle were stained with Alcian blue, and the result were compared and analyzed.
Results:The auricle of Bmp5 short ear homozygous mouse was significantly shorter than that of their sibling normal auricles. Sanger sequencing showed that the point mutation of Bmp5 was the seventh base at the bottom of exon 2, and the base mutated from C to T. The result of Alcianblue staining showed that the size of homozygous mutant mouse was small and the development of sternum and ribs was obviously abnormal.
Conclusions:The model of Bmp5 short ear mouse can be completely suitable for the study of human congenital microtia. The model of Bmp5 short ear mouse is a suitable animal model to study the development mechanism of congenital microtia.
