Objective: To explore the function of Cbl-b/c-Cbl in the development and differentiation of macrophage, and to establish the mouse model called LysM Cre+ Cbl-b-/-/c-Cblf/f which is ablation both of Cbl-b and c-Cbl. Methods: The mice of LysMCre+, Cbl-b-/- and c-Cblf/f were breed together, then PCR and Western-blot were conducted to identify the success of establishment of mouse model. HE, Giemsa and Sirus Red staining and FACS were applied to analyze the immune phenotype of these mice. Results: We successfully established the LysMCre+, Cbl-b-/- and c-Cblf/f mouse model confirmed by PCR and Werstern-blot. Ablation of both Cbl-b and c-Cbl in myloid-derived cells resulted in the percentage increase of cDC,granucyte and macrophage. Obviously, a lot of alveolar macrophages were immersed in the lung, thus induced severe inflammation, finally developed into idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and mice died 35 day about after birth. Conclusions: Cbl-b and c-Cbl play an important role in macrophage, ablation both of Cbl-b and c-Cbl results in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of mice. |
