Dose optimization of intrathecal administration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of subacute incomplete spinal cord injury

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs)are a promising candidate for spinal cord injury(SCI)repair owing to their advantages of low immunogenicity and easy accessibility over other MSC sources.However,modest clinical efficacy hampered the progression of these cells to clinical translation.This discrepancy may be due to many variables,such as cell source,timing of implantation,route of administration,and relevant efficacious cell dose,which are critical factors that affect the efficacy of treatment of patients with SCI.Previously,we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of 4×10⁶ hUC-MSCs/kg in the treatment of subacute SCI by intrathecal implantation in rat models.To search for a more accurate dose range for clinical translation,we compared the effects of three different doses of hUC-MSCs-low(0.25×10⁶ cells/kg),medium(1×10⁶ cells/kg)and high(4×10⁶ cells/kg)-on subacute SCI repair through an elaborate combination of behavioral analyses,anatomical analyses,magnetic resonance imaging-diffusion tensor imaging(MRI-DTI),biotinylated dextran amine(BDA)tracing,electrophysiology,and quantification of mRNA levels of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors.Our study demonstrated that the medium dose,but not the low dose,is as efficient as the high dose in producing the desired therapeutic outcomes.Furthermore,partial restoration of theγ-aminobutyric acid type A(GABAA)receptor expression by the effective doses indicates that GABAA receptors are possible candidates for therapeutic targeting of dormant relay pathways in injured spinal cord.Overall,this study revealed that intrathecal implantation of 1×10⁶ hUC-MSCs/kg is an alternative approach for treating subacute SCI.

白藜芦醇对酒精诱导雄性大鼠骨量减少和骨强度降低的保护作用

目的探索白藜芦醇对酒精诱导雄性大鼠骨量减少和骨强度降低的影响。方法 30只12周雄性大鼠随机分为对照组、模型组和治疗组3组,每组10只。模型组和治疗组大鼠给予0.4 mL/100 g的20%乙醇溶液,每周3次。治疗组接受白藜芦醇40 mg/kg治疗,每日一次,治疗为期12周。治疗结束时收集血清和股骨对治疗结果进行评价。结果治疗12周后,治疗组的股骨骨密度较模型组显著升高,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);Mircro-CT显示治疗组大鼠股骨干骺端较模型组具有更多骨小梁以及更佳的骨微观参数,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);生物力学结果显示治疗组股骨的极限载荷和峰值负荷较模型组显著升高,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);而血清检测结果表明治疗组的碱性磷酸酶和骨钙素较模型组明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论白藜芦醇对酒精诱导雄性大鼠骨量减少和骨强度降低有一定的保护作用。     

长期负性情绪应激对D-gal大鼠认知功能及海马NR2B基因甲基化表达的影响

目的探讨长期负性情绪应激对大鼠脑老化进程的影响机制。方法将雌雄各半的70只Wistar大鼠分别采用随机方法,分为空白对照组、D-gal脑老化模型组、应激脑老化组,每组14只且雌雄各半,其余大鼠做为攻击鼠参与负性情绪应激的诱导;采用颈后部皮下多点注射D-gal 0.1g/(kg·d)制备脑老化大鼠模型;采用不可预知性刺激,诱导应激脑老化组大鼠长期负性情绪应激;采用Morri′s水迷宫实验记录大鼠水下寻台时间(SPL),评价大鼠学习记忆功能;采用ELISA测定大鼠血浆促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)和皮质酮(CORT)含量;采集大鼠海马样本制备匀浆,采用甲基化特异性PCR法(MSP)检测海马N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体-2B亚型(NR2B)基因调控区胞嘧啶-磷酸-鸟嘌呤位点(CpG)甲基化程度,采用ELISA法测定甲基化转移酶1(DNMT1)活性。结果与D-gal脑老化模型组比较,应激脑老化组大鼠的SPL明显延长,NR2B基因启动子区CpG甲基化程度及DNA DNMT1活性显著增高(P0.05),血浆CORT、ACTH水平显著升高(P0.05)。结论长期情绪调节不良能够加速机体大脑老化进程,其机制可能与慢性情绪应激引发机体特定基因甲基化程度增高有关。     

Lycium barbarum extract promotes M2 polarization and reduces oligomeric amyloid-β-induced inflammatory reactions in microglial cells

Lycium barbarum(LB)is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide variety of biological functions,such as antioxidation,neuroprotection,and immune modulation.One of the main mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease is that microglia activated by amyloid beta(Aβ)transform from the resting state to an M1 state and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to the surrounding environment.In the present study,immortalized microglial cells were pretreated with L.barbarum extract for 1 hour and then treated with oligomeric Aβfor 23 hours.The results showed that LB extract significantly increased the survival of oligomeric Aβ-induced microglial cells,downregulated the expression of M1 pro-inflammatory markers(inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1β),and upregulated the expression of M2 anti-inflammatory markers(arginase-1,chitinase-like protein 3,and interleukin-4).LB extract also inhibited the oligomeric Aβ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1βin microglial cells.The results of in vitro cytological experiments suggest that,in microglial cells,LB extract can inhibit oligomeric Aβ-induced M1 polarization and concomitant inflammatory reactions,and promote M2 polarization.     

膝骨关节炎患者血清细胞因子样蛋白1水平变化及临床意义

分析原发性膝骨关节炎(KOA)患者血清细胞因子样蛋白1(CYTL-1)水平变化及临床意义。方法选取2016年2月至2021年10月收治的122例KOA患者(KOA组)和165例健康志愿者(对照组)。采用酶联免疫吸附法检测2组血清CYTL-1水平以及KOA患者滑液CYTL-1水平。采用视觉模拟数字评价量表(VAS)评分及西大略湖麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)评估KOA患者的疼痛程度及身体残疾程度。比较KOA患者血清CYTL-1水平与临床病理特征的关系。结果 KOA组血清CYTL-1水平(169.10 ng·mL-1)低于对照组(316.11 ng·mL-1)(P<0.001)。血清CYTL-1水平降低是KOA发生的独立危险因素(β=-0.013,P<0.001)。血清CYTL-1水平与滑液CYTL-1水平呈正相关(rS=0.521、β=0.243,P<0.001)。受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线显示，血清CYTL-1用于KOA诊断的曲线下面积(AUC)为0.834(95%CI:0.787～0.881)。Spearman秩相关分析和多元线性回归分析显示，KOA患者血清CYTL-1水平与WOMAC总评分、VAS评分呈负相关(rS=-0.455、β=-0.373,rS=-0.421、β=-0.218;P<0.05)。血清CYTL-1水平诊断KOA患者重度疼痛或中重度残疾的ROC曲线AUC分别为0.774(95%CI:0.685～0.863)、0.704(95%CI:0.602～0.791)。较血清CYTL-1水平≥169.10 ng·mL-1患者，<169.10 ng·mL-1患者的Kellgren-Lawrence分级为4级(78.79%比21.21%)、软骨缺损评分≥22.67分(70.18%比29.82%)以及站起-走计时测试秒数≥5.95 s(60.66%比39.34%)的占比均更高(P<0.05)。结论 KOA患者血清CYTL-1水平降低与疾病发生和进展密切相关，有望成为KOA诊断和治疗的候选分子。
