Animal model of brain tumor and manufacturing method of animal model
The present invention relates to a brain tumor animal model that directly reflects the phenomenon in a human patient and a method of preparing the same, and more specifically, a brain tumor animal model that mutations are introduced into p53, Pten, and EGFR genes, a screening method of a therapeutic agent for a brain tumor using the animal model, and a preparing method thereof.
1 . A transgenic mouse comprising,
knock-out mutations of p53 and Pten genes in nerve stem cells of subventricular zone (SVZ), and
an activating mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in nerve stem cells of SVZ,
wherein a glioblastoma occurs in the dorsolateral-caudal cortex region,
wherein the glioblastoma develops from nerve stem cells that are positive for Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),
wherein the GFAP positive nerve stem cells have normal cytoarchitecture.
2 . The transgenic mouse of claim 1 , wherein the glioblastoma is a high-grade glioblastoma having characteristics of necrosis, microvascular proliferation and mitosis, and has an immune response to GFAP, Nestin, Olig2, and PDGFRα.
3 . The transgenic mouse of claim 1 , wherein the glioblastoma is IDH-wild type.
4 . The transgenic mouse of claim 1 , wherein the mouse maintains the knockout mutations of p53 and Pten genes specific to nerve stem cells in SVZ even after glioblastoma occurrence.
5 . The transgenic mouse of claim 1 , wherein the p53 gene comprises at least one nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID Nos: 38 to 40, and the Pten gene comprises at least g nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID Nos: 41 to 43.
