B-SDG rats exhibit the smallest thymus size


from clipboard


The thymus size of B-SDG rats was the smallest compared to that of wild-type SD rats and B-Rag2 KO rats. Gross anatomy of thymuses in male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats were showed (n=3, 7-week-old). Thymus size of B-Rag2 KO rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. But the thymus size of B-SDG rats were further reduced compared to B-Rag2 KO rats. 

B-SDG rats exhibit the significantly reduced thymus and spleen weight 

from clipboard


The size and weight of thymus and spleen of B-SDG rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. Thymus and spleen were isolated from male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats and weighed (n=3, 7-week-old). Thymus size and weight of B-Rag2 KO rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. But the thymus size and weight of B-SDG rats were further reduced compared to B-Rag2 KO rats. Spleen size and weight of B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. 

Analysis of leukocyte subpopulation in thymus

Complete loss of T cells in thymus of homozygous B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats. Thymuses were collected from male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats (n=3, 7-week-old). Leukocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. A. Representative FACS plots. B. Statistical analysis of FACS. Results showed that total T cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were only detectable in thymuses of wild-type SD rats. But none of the T cells were detectable in thymuses of B-Rag2 KO rats or B-SDG rats. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Complete loss of T cells, B cells and NK cells in spleen of homozygous male B-SDG rats. Spleens were collected from male wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats (n=3, 7-week-old). Leukocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. Results showed that T cells and B cells were not detectable in spleen of B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats. NK cells were also not detectable in B-SDG rats. But the percentage of NK cells in B-Rag2 KO rats were relatively higher than that in wild-type SD rats. The percentages of DCs, CD11b+CD43+ monocytes, CD11b+CD68+ macrophages, CD11b+CD43+CD68+ monocytes/macrophages (Mo/Mφ) and neutrophils in B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats were relatively higher than that in wild-type SD rats.

Growth curve 



from clipboard

Growth curve of B-SDG rats.Three weeks old of newborn pups were obtained at weaning. Body weight of the rats with ages from 3 weeks to 15 weeks was measured (male: n=14~21; female: n=21~30). The lowest and highest values of the body weight in the table were calculated from the mean ± SD. The growth curve conforms to the normal distribution and the probability of random error falling within ± SD is 68%.

The rats were grouped when tumor volume reached approximately 300-400 mm3, at which time they were treated with cisplatin with doses indicated in panel. (B) Body weight changes during treatment. As shown in panel A, cisplatin was efficacious in controlling tumor growth in B-SDG rats, demonstrating that B-SDG rats provide a powerful preclinical model for in vivo evaluation of chemotherapies. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Antitumor activity of Her2-targeting ADC drug in B-SDG rats. Human non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1975 (5×106) mixed with Matrigel (1:1, Corning, 354230) were subcutaneously implanted into B-SDG rats (female, 8-week-old, n=6). The rats were grouped when tumor volume reached approximately 300-400 mm3, at which time they were treated with trastuzumab-VcMMAE analog (in-house). Blood was collected at 15 min, 24 hr and 96 hr after the first two doses from every mouse. After the third dose, the time points of blood collection were 15 min, 24 hr, 96 hr and 168 hr. (A) Trastuzumab-VcMMAE analog (in-house) inhibited the growth of NCI-H1975 in B-SDG rats. (B) Body weight changes during treatment. (C) Time course of drug concentration in blood. Results showed that Her2-targeting ADC drug was efficacious in controlling tumor growth in B-SDG rats in a dose-dependent manner. The drug concentration was maintained at a steady high level in the high dosing group. There is a significant correlation between the efficacy and drug concentration. Therefore, B-SDG rats provide a powerful preclinical model for in vivo efficacy evaluation and pharmacokinetics study of ADC drugs. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
