摘要:
The present invention provides a mouse with liver damage, having a high degree of damage against the mouse's original hepatocytes while having a uPA gene in a heterozygous form, and a method for efficiently preparing the mouse. Specifically, the method for preparing a mouse with liver damage having the uPA gene in a heterozygous form comprises the following steps of: (i) transforming mouse ES cells with a DNA fragment containing a liver-specific promoter/enhancer and cDNA that encodes a urokinase-type plasminogen activator operably linked under the control thereof; (ii) injecting the transformed mouse ES cells obtained in step (i) into a host embryo; (iii) transplanting the host embryo obtained in step (ii) via the injection of the ES cells into the uterus of a surrogate mother mouse, so as to obtain a chimeric mouse; and (iv) crossing the chimeric mice obtained in step (iii), so as to obtain a transgenic mouse in which the DNA fragment is introduced in a heterozygous form.

Provided is a non-human animal that is highly practical as a hyperuricenia model, the non-human animal being the following: (a) a non-human animal obtained by producing a primary chimeric non-human animal by transplantation of human hepatocytes to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction; and subsequently administering a purine base-containing substance to the primary chimeric non-human animal, or (b) a non-human animal obtained by producing a serially transplanted chimeric non-human animal via two steps, a first step being a step of producing a primary chimeric non-human animal by transplantation of human hepatocytes to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction, a second step being a step of transplanting the human hepatocytes grown in the body of the primary chimeric non-human animal to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction, the second step being performed one or more times; and subsequently administering a purine base-containing substance to the serially transplanted chimeric non-human animal.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide human fatty-liver model cells showing symptoms of the hepatic tissue of fatty liver. The present invention relates to human fatty-liver model cells, which are produced by culturing human hepatocytes derived from fatty liver in a medium containing dimethyl sulfoxide.
