Embodiment 1
[0138] Example 1. The performance of SCN region-specific knockout Smo mice in the change of light cycle
[0139] 8-week-old adult female mice were housed individually in a cabinet equipped with a running wheel cage, and ClockLab was used to record and analyze the running wheel behavior of the mice in real time. figure 1 A is a representative result of the corresponding mouse wheel running behavior. After the mice were acclimated to a standard light cycle (lights on at 7:00 in the morning and lights off at 19:00 in the evening) for two weeks, the light schedule was advanced 8 hours (lights on at 23:00 in the evening). , turn off the lights at 11:00 am), after 15 days of observation, return the light schedule to the initial state. In the figure, the mouse running wheel behavior is represented by black marks, and the white and gray backgrounds represent light and darkness, respectively; figure 1 B is the statistical result of the phase shift of the corresponding mice during t...
Embodiment 2
[0141] Example 2. Identification of SCN region-specific knockout Smo mice
[0142] NMS-Cre is a tool mouse that specifically expresses Cre in the SCN region, and Smo is an important receptor in the Shh signaling pathway. By mating NMS-Cre mice with Smo-floxp mice, NMS-Smo– / – small mice were obtained after multiple generations of breeding. mouse.
[0143] figure 2 A is the Western Blot to detect the effect of Smo knockout (Smo is not only expressed in NMS neurons in the SCN area, so the results show that after the specific knockout of Smo in the SCN area, there is still a small amount of detection); figure 2 B shows that the body weight of Smo conditional knockout mice is not affected; figure 2 C shows that the overall outline of the brain of the Smo conditional knockout mouse is normal; figure 2 D and 2E show normal neuronal differentiation in the SCN region of Smo conditional knockout mice.
[0144]The above results prove that the Smo mouse with a specific knockout ...
Embodiment 3
[0145] Example 3. The Smo inhibitor Vismodegib affects the rhythmic behavior of mice
[0146] Vismodegib is a novel oral drug with selective Shh signaling pathway. The results show that Vismodegib can directly affect the oscillatory changes of rhythm genes, block the SCN neuron coupling process, and make mice adapt more quickly. Time difference change process. image 3 A: The rhythm gene affects the oscillating changes of the rhythm gene in the SCN region at the tissue level. Freshly isolated brain slices in the SCN region of Per2::Luc mice were used for in vitro culture, and the expression level of Per2 was continuously recorded by lumicycle; after three days of recording, the medium was changed to In the fresh medium containing 20 μM Vismodegib, it was observed that Vismodegib could significantly inhibit the oscillating change process of Per2; three days later, the drug was removed and replaced with fresh medium, and it was found that the oscillating Per2 was restored, ind...
