기본 정보

검증 데이터

huIL12B mice are humanized models generated by gene editing technology, in which the entire base sequence of the mouse Il12b gene was replaced in situ with the corresponding sequence from the human IL12B gene. Homozygous huIL12B mice are viable and fertile. This model can be used to study the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic methods of immune-related diseases and cancer, as well as the screening and development of IL12B-targeted drugs, and preclinical efficacy and safety evaluations.

1. Gene Expression

RT-qPCR results showed that only murine Il12b mRNA was expressed in WT mice, while only human IL12B mRNA was expressed in the thymus and spleen of huIL12B mice. These results indicate that huIL12B mice successfully express human IL12B mRNA. (Bars represent mean ± SEM)

Figure 2. Gene expression in the thymus and spleen of huIL12B mice and wild-type (WT) mice (7-8 weeks old, homozygous, n=3). ND: Not detected.

2. Protein Expression (ELISA)

Mice were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a dose of 10 mg/kg for induction, with an induction duration of 2 hours. After induction, mouse plasma was collected to detect the expression levels of murine and human proteins, respectively. ELISA results showed that only Mouse IL12B p40 protein was expressed in the plasma of WT mice, and its expression level increased significantly after LPS induction. In contrast, only Human IL12 p40 protein was expressed in the plasma of huIL12B mice, with no detectable Mouse IL12B p40 protein; moreover, the expression level of this protein increased significantly after LPS induction, with no significant gender difference. These results confirm that huIL12B mice successfully express Human IL12 p40 protein in their plasma. (Bars represent mean ± SD)

3. Ustekinumab PD Assessment

（1）Experimental Protocol and Group Design

Figure 4. Experimental protocol and group design for Ustekinumab efficacy evaluation. *Data provided by Cyagen Biosciences partners. *Ustekinumab is a fully human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody. It binds specifically to the shared p40 subunit of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23), thereby blocking downstream Th1 and Th17-mediated inflammatory responses. It is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. *Imiquimod (IMQ) is a small-molecule immunomodulator and a Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist. It activates innate immune pathways to induce the local production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon-α and tumor necrosis factor-α. Topical application of IMQ on the skin induces psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, characterized by erythema, scaling, and epidermal thickening, making it a common method for establishing psoriasis animal models.

（2）Total Psoriasis Score

Following the application of IMQ cream, huIL12B mice exhibited erythema, scaling, and significant skin thickening, with disease severity peaking on day 5. Throughout the study period, Ustekinumab treatment did not significantly reduce the total psoriasis score in huIL12B mice compared to the Group 2 (IMQ). (Data analyzed by one-way ANOVA and presented as mean ± SD.)

(A) Representative images of dorsal skin from each group; (B) The left panel shows the changes in total psoriasis scores over time, and the right panel compares the time-weighted area under the curve (AUC) of the total scores among groups. *Data provided by Cyagen Biosciences partners.

（3）Ear Swelling

Following the application of IMQ cream, the ears of huIL12B mice became thickened. Compared with Group G2 (IMQ), treatment with Ustekinumab 10mg/kg, s.c. Q7D×2 significantly reduced ear thickness in IMQ-induced huIL12B mice on days 5, 7, 10, and throughout the entire experimental period. Compared with Group G2 (IMQ), a single dose of Ustekinumab 10mg/kg, s.c. on day 5 significantly reduced ear swelling on day 7, but did not reduce ear thickness throughout the entire experimental period. At the experimental endpoint, both Ustekinumab treatment regimens significantly reduced ear swelling in IMQ-induced huIL12B mice compared to Group G2 (IMQ).

（4）Body Weight Change and Spleen Index

Ustekinumab had no significant effect on the body weight or spleen index of huIL12B mice after IMQ induction.
