Coronary artery disease has a significant genetic predisposition, which mainly results from atherosclerosis. Miniature pig is an excellent model to investigate atherosclerosis. This study investigated whether the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis in the Wuzhishan miniature pigs (WZSPs) that were closely bred 12 generations had better consistency. The WZSPs (n = 9) were fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (HCFD). After continuous feeding, 3 WZSPs each were sacrificed at 6, 8, and 12 months, respectively, and the general clinical manifestations and serological indexes were detected. The pathological changes of the major arteries and main organs were recorded. The results showed WZSPs were quite susceptible to the HCFD. At 6 months, plaque lesions appeared in the abdominal aorta and iliac artery, while at 8 months, they appeared in the coronary artery. At 12 months, atherosclerotic lesions could be found in all major arteries, while lipid core, cholesterol precipitation, and calcium deposition appeared in the most serious sites. The progression of arterial lesions and distribution of the lesions were highly consistent in the pigs. However, apparent variations in serum markers were observed. In conclusion, inbred WZSP is a good model to investigate atherosclerosis and has good predictability for the occurrence and development of the disease.

:冠状动脉疾病具有明显的遗传易感性,主要是由动脉粥样硬化引起的。小型猪是研究动脉粥样硬化的优秀模型。本研究调查了在近代繁殖的五指山小型猪(WZSP)中动脉粥样硬化的发生和发展是否具有更好的一致性。 WZSP(n = 9)被喂食高胆固醇和高脂饮食(HCFD)。连续喂食后,分别在第6、8和12个月处死3只WZSP,并检测其一般临床表现和血清学指标。记录主要动脉和主要器官的病理变化。结果表明,WZSP对HCFD非常敏感。在6个月时,斑块病变出现在腹主动脉和动脉中,而在8个月时,它们出现在冠状动脉中。在第12个月时,所有主要动脉均可发现动脉粥样硬化病变,而最严重的部位则出现脂质核心,胆固醇沉淀和钙沉积。猪的动脉病变进展和病变分布高度一致。然而,观察到血清标志物的明显变化。总之,近交WZSP是研究动脉粥样硬化的良好模型,并且对疾病的发生和发展具有良好的可预测性。
