Global Humanized Mouse and Rat Model Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Increasing research activities using humanized models
Continuous research is being undertaken for the development of treatments for immunodeficiency disorders, cancers, and other rare diseases. A majority of these research studies are highly dependent on animal models. Owing to this, market players are continuously focusing on bringing about innovations in mouse models. As highly advanced and innovative mouse models provide increased options to researchers, the demand for such models has increased in the market in recent years.
This technology is majorly used to produce animal models with more humanized pathological conditions, including genetic disorders. These models can also be used to determine drug effectiveness and the metabolism rate of drugs. Since disease models reflecting human physiology can be produced and used for more accurate non-clinical studies and drug discovery, the demand for humanized mouse and rat models is expected to be high among researchers.
RESTRAINT: Laws and regulations for the ethical use of animal models in research
Various regulations and laws have been laid down by the government for ensuring the ethical use of animals in research activities. Research institutes and companies carrying out studies on animals have to comply with these standards and requirements formulated for animal testing. In the US, the Animal welfare Act (AWA) and the Public Health Service Policy on Human Care and Use of Laboratory animals (PHS) are two main regulations governing the use of animals in research. The AWA is a federal law covering animals in research. It covers almost 90-95% of animals including rats, mice, and birds, which are bred for research. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) enforces AWA, according to which businesses and individuals using regukated animals must be licensed or registered with USDA, and facilities with regulated animals must be inspected every year by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS).
These guidelines ensure the smooth operation of animal studies and do not restrict research studies as long as they are abided by. However, complying with the mandatory regulations for the use of animal models is sometimes cumberson and time consuming and might hinder the use of animal models.
OPPORTUNITY: Rising demand for humanized PDX models
It is observed that xenografts develop well in immunodeficient models, and these immunodeficient models are majorly applied for creating PDX model. Although, these models do not deem fit for evaluating stroma-tumor interactions, and these are highly responsible for growth and progression of tumor in a patient. To overcome these issues Humanized PDX models are gaining popularity in the market.
Nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mouse models are now being reconstituted with bone marrow or peripheral blood cells, along with patient tumor implants, to generate humanized xenograft models. Such models prove to be a valuable platform to examine the contribution of xenogeneic immune cells to the overall anti-tumor immunity. These also help analyse immunotherapy drugs aimed at mobilizing the effector arm of the immune system.
As these models are gaining popularity in tumor biology in concert with associated stroma, efforts are underway to improve these models and apply them to various human cancer types. However, humanized PDX models are very costly compared to basic PDX models, owing to which their adoption is limited. JSR Corporation (Japan), Champions Oncology, Inc. (US), Charles River Laboratories (US), The Jackson Laboratory (US), and Oncodesign (France) are some of the major players focusing on the development of humanized PDX models.
CHALLENGE: Alternatives for animal testing
Alternative tests to humanized mouse model such as vitro methods and models based on human cells and tissue cultures; computerized patient-drug databases and virtual drug trials; computer models and simulations (in silico models); organs-on-chips; stem cell and genetic testing methods; and non-invasive imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, and microdosing are reliable, cost-effective, practical, and expedient. It has been observed that the use of human tissue in toxicity testing is more accurate than using animal models. Rodents are predominantly used in toxicity and safety assessment studies. However, substantial efforts are being made to develop alternative testing methods that are accepted internationally. In the European Union, challenging timelines for phasing out several standard tests using laboratory animals were established in the seventh Amending Directive 2003/15/EC to Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC. In continuation of this policy, the new European Chemicals Legislation (REACH) favors methods that are alternative to conventional in vivo testing if validated.
Although some researchers are of the opinion that these alternatives are not very accurate and can in no way replace the use of animals, the 3Rs principle (replacement, reduction, and refinement) and ban on cosmetics testing on animals have led to the development and increased usage of these alternatives in various animal research establishments and institutes. This can pose a challenge for the market in the coming years.
