The selection of an appropriate animal model is key to the production of results with optimal relevance to human disease. Particularly in the case of perinatal brain injury, a dearth of affected human neonatal tissue available for research purposes increases the reliance on animal models for insight into disease mechanisms. Improvements in obstetric and neonatal care in the past 20 years have caused the pathologic hallmarks of perinatal white matter injury (WMI) to evolve away from cystic necrotic lesions and toward diffuse regions of reactive gliosis and persistent myelin disruption. Therefore, updated animal models are needed that recapitulate the key features of contemporary disease. Here, we report a murine model of acute diffuse perinatal WMI induced through a two-hit inflammatory-hypoxic injury paradigm. Consistent with diffuse human perinatal white matter injury (dWMI), our model did not show the formation of cystic lesions. Corresponding to cellular outcomes of dWMI, our injury protocol produced reactive microgliosis and astrogliosis, disrupted oligodendrocyte maturation, and disrupted myelination.. Functionally, we observed sensorimotor and cognitive deficits in affected mice. In conclusion, we report a novel murine model of dWMI that induces a pattern of brain injury mirroring multiple key aspects of the contemporary human clinical disease scenario.
