胚胎神经干细胞移植治疗阿尔茨海默病

BACKGROUND:More recently, stem cell therapy has become an issue of concern. Exogenous neural stem cell transplantation brings new hope for the treatment of nervous system injury by self-replication and differentiation to complement and replace damaged or dead nerve cells. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of neural stem cell transplantation on Alzheimer’s disease. METHODS:Thirty APP/PS1 mice with Alzheimer’s disease were randomly assigned into model group, cell solution transplantation group or cell transplantation group (n=10 per group). Another 10 C57BL/6 mice were selected as controls. Embryos of C57BL/6 mice at 18 embryonic days were taken to make neural stem cell suspension followed by transfection using lentiviral vectors carrying GFP gene at different multiplicities of infection (1, 5, 10, 15, 20). Afterwards, GFP-transfected neural stem cells were implanted into the hippocampus of Alzheimer’s disease mice in the cell transplantation group, while the same volume of complete medium was injected into the hippocampus of mice in the cell solution transplantation group. Morris water maze test was performed at 2 weeks after cell transplantation, and brain tissues of mice was taken and detected histologically at 4 weeks after cell transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the escape latency was significantly higher, and the number of crossings over the target quadrant was lower in the other three groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the cell solution transplantation and model groups, in contrast, the escape latency was significantly lower, and the number of crossings over the target quadrant was significantly higher in the cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). Four weeks after transplantation, more intact neurons were found in the cell transplantation group as compared with the model group. These findings indicate that neural stem cell transplantation can improve behavior and morphology performance of mice with Alzheimer’s disease.

神经干细胞移植治疗老年痴呆

BACKGROUND:Neural stem cell transplantation has been used to treat a series of brain injury diseases, such as cerebral palsy, but its effect on Alzheimer’s disease is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of neural stem cell transplantation on the behavior and immune regulating system of Alzheimer’s disease rats.  METHODS:Thirty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were enrolled to make a postcerebral incision and given hippocampal injection of amanita phalloides acid to establish rat models of Alzheimer’s disease. Another 10 rats were only given hippocampal injection of normal saline after preparation of postcerebral skin incision as sham operation group. Then 32 successful rat models were randomly divided into two groups (n=16 per group): rats in experimental group were administrated hippocamal injection of 5×109/L allogeneic neural stem cell suspension; those in model group were given no injection. Five-day Morris water maze test was conducted at 4 weeks after transplantation. At 1 week after Morris water maze test, levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the cerebral homogenate were detected, as well as pathological changes of brain tissues were observed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the abilities of cognition and memory were significantly higher in the sham operation group (P < 0.01), and the abilities of spatial learning and memory were significantly higher in the experimental group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (P < 0.01) but significantly lower than those in the experimental group (P < 0.01). Besides, the number of neurons in the model group was obviously less than that in the experimental and sham operation group. These results indicate that neural stem cell transplantation supplements and protects neurons against Alzheimer's disease in rats, thereby significantly improving the learning and memory ability.     

同基因与异基因胚胎肝干细胞移植治疗小鼠肝硬化

背景：胚胎肝干细胞移植免疫相关研究较少,同基因与异基因胚胎肝干细胞移植对小鼠肝硬化的治疗作用,目前尚不清楚。 目的：观察同种同基因与同种异基因胚胎肝干细胞移植对小鼠肝硬化的治疗作用,以及治疗过程中免疫排斥反应发生情况。 方法：采用Ⅳ型胶原酶消化法分离纯化BALB/c与C57BL/6胚胎肝干细胞。104只健康BALB/c小鼠随机分为4 组：正常对照组不予任何处理;肝硬化组、同种同基因移植组、同种异基因移植组腹腔注射四氯化碳石蜡油溶液复制肝硬化模型,16周后分别经其尾静脉注射生理盐水,等量同种同基因胚胎肝干细胞和同种异基因胚胎肝干细胞。在移植4周后比较各组受体小鼠存活情况、肝功能恢复情况、肝纤维化程度、免疫细胞(CD4⁺T、CD8⁺T、NK、NKT)数目及比值、肝脏病理学变化。 结果与结论：同种同基因移植组和同种异基因移植组生存率均为100%,与肝硬化组小鼠存活率67%相比差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05);各组肝功能和肝纤维化指标差异无显著性意义(P > 0.05)。各组免疫学指标比较差异无显著性意义(P > 0.05)。肝脏组织病理学显示肝组织修复：同种异基因移植组>同种同基因移植组>肝硬化组。因此,经尾静脉移植胚胎肝干细胞能提高肝硬化小鼠的生存率、减轻肝细胞坏死程度;同种同基因与同种异基因胚胎肝干细胞移植未发现免疫排斥,对小鼠肝硬化有一定的治疗作用。

糖原合成酶激酶3β过表达心肌干细胞移植治疗心肌梗死

BACKGROUND:The mechanism and effect of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) in the differentiation of cardiac stem cells into cardiomyocytes are still unclear, although GSK-3β is closely related to the life activities of cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the changes of GSK-3β expression in the treatment of myocardial infarction in rats undergoing cardiac stem cell transplantation. METHODS:The isolation and culture of cardiac stem cells were performed in 10 neonatal rats. Lentivirus overexpressing GSK-3β or LacZ (control) was constructed and transferred into cardiac stem cells. Animal model of myocardial infarction was made in 30 Sprague-Dawley rats. Six weeks after model preparation, rat models were assigned into GSK-3β, LacZ or PBS group. GSK-3β or LacZ overexpressing cardiac stem cell solution or PBS in equal volume was injected into the rat myocardium, respectively. Four weeks after transplantation, the cardiac function and myocardial collagen production in rats were detected and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the other two groups, the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher, and the left ventricular end diastolic diameter was significantly lower in the GSK-3β group (P < 0.05). Hydroxyproline content, type I collagen mRNA, and type III collagen mRNA expression were significantly lower in the GSK-3β group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). Findings from Masson staining showed that the content of blue-stained collagen was significantly lower in the GSK-3β group than the LacZ group. Moreover, lowest myocardial infarction size was found in the GSK-3β group (P < 0.05). All these experimental findings show that GSK-3 overexpression plays a positive role in promoting the therapeutic effect of cardiac stem cell transplantation.     

静脉移植骨髓间充质干细胞对心肌病心力衰竭心功能的影响

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can effectively improve decreased cardiac function caused by heart failure, but there is a lack of research about the effect in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on cardiac function in heart failure induced by cardiomyopathies. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on cardiac function in patients with cardiomyopathies accompanied by heart failure. METHODS:Totally 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were enrolled, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from 10 rats, and the remaining rats were equivalently randomized into normal, model and stem cell transplantation groups. Then rats in the model and stem cell transplantation groups were given intraperitoneal injection of hydrochloric acid doxorubicin to prepare cardiomyopathy-induced heart failure models. At 7 days after modeling, the stem cell transplantation group was treated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through intravenous transplantation, and the model group was treated with equal amount of DMEM medium. Four weeks later, cardiac function of each rat was detected, and the cell survival and differentiation were observed by immunofluorescence method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4 weeks after transplantation, compared with normal and stem cell transplantation groups, the left ventricular systolic pressure and maximum rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure were significantly decreased, but the left ventricular end diastolic pressure significantly increased in the model group (P < 0.05). And there was no significant difference between the normal group and the stem cell transplantation group (P > 0.05). High and dense fluorescence intensity was observed in the host myocardium immediately after transplantation. Subsequently, the fluorescence intensity and density decreased at 4 weeks, but the cell migration could be found, and some cells expressed cardiac troponin T. These results show that intravenous transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can improve cardiac function in rats with heart failure due to cardiomyopathies. Besides, the transplanted cells can survive in the host, and differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells.     

人脐血间充质干细胞移植联合神经节苷脂注射治疗脑性瘫痪

BACKGROUND:In recent years, some studies have demonstrated that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of injection of human umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside into rat lateral ventricles on neurological functional recovery from cerebral palsy. METHODS:Totally 60 cerebral palsy neonatal rats were delivered from pregnant rats which were modes were given intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide for 2 successive days on day 17 of gestation. Then those neonatal rats were randomly divided into five groups, including model group (n=10), sham transplantation group (n=10), stem cell transplantation group (n=18), ganglioside group (n=10) and combination group (n=12). Under stereotaxic instrument, umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells or ganglioside were injected into left lateral ventricles of the rat brain, respectively, and the sham transplantation group was given the same volume of phosphate buffered saline. Two rats from the stem cell transplantation group were put to death for immunofluorescence staining at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after transplantation, respectively, and two rats in the combination group were killed for immunofluorescence staining at 14 days. Besides, all rats were underwent neurologic evaluation at 28 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells could survive, migrate and differentiate, which mainly distributed in the lateral ventricle, hippocampus and cortex. At 14 days after transplantation, positive expressions of BrdU and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the stem cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the model group, the holding time significantly prolonged and foot error times significantly decreased in the latter three groups (P < 0.05), as well as in the combination group compared with the stem cell transplantation and ganglioside groups (P < 0.05). These results indicate that umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside can both improve neurological function of rats with cerebral palsy. Given that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vivo, the combined transplantation is preferred.

异丙酚预处理联合脐血间充质干细胞移植治疗脑缺血再灌注损伤

BACKGROUND:As propofol has a neuroprotective effect, and umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells have a high differentiation potential, their combination will have a better therapeutic effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of propofol pretreatment combined with umbilical blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:Sixty-three Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into model, propofol, and combined group (n=21 per group). Rat models of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury were made using ligation of the middle cerebral artery occlusion in the three groups. Rats in the combined group were given 100 mg/kg propofol injection at 1 day before injury and injection of umbilical blood mesenchymal stem cells via the tail vein (0.5 mL, 2×10⁹/L). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the neurological function was improved significantly in the propofol and combined group, especially in the latter one, presenting with a remarkable mitigation in brain injury and an increased level of survivn mRNA in the rat hippocampus. The content of serum malondialdehyde was lower but the activity of superoxide dismutase was higher in the combined group compared with the propofol group. These findings indicate that propofol pretreatment combined with umbilical blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has better therapeutic effects than propofol pretreamtnet alone for improving cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.     

骨髓间充质干细胞移植脑梗死大鼠：神经功能恢复与突触素的表达

BACKGROUND:Synaptophysin plays an important role in the recovery of neural function after cerebral ischemia. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on nervous function and expression of synaptophysin after cerebral infarction. METHODS:Totally 60 rats were equivalently randomized into four groups, including sham operation, control, model and stem cell treatment groups. Rats in the control, model and stem cell treatment groups were used for preparing cerebral infarction models, and the remaining underwent the sham operation. After 1 day of modeling, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transplanted into the rat lateral ventricle in the stem cell treatment group, and rats in the control group was given the injection of the same amount of PBS. After 1, 7 and 14 days of treatment, rat’s neurological function was scored on beam-walking test, rotarod test and screen test, and expression of synaptophysin was detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 7 and 14 days after treatment, the beam-walking test, rotarod test and screen test scores in the stem cell treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control and model groups (P < 0.05), and the above scores showed no significant differences between the control group and model group (P > 0.05). At 1 day after treatment, the mRNA expression of synaptophysin and the number of synaptophysin-positive cells in the sham operation group were significantly higher than those in the other three groups (P < 0.05); at 7 and 14 days after treatment, the mRNA expression of synaptophysin and the number of synaptophysin-positive cells in the stem cell treatment group were significantly increased compared with the other three groups (P < 0.05), and additionally, the mRNA expression of synaptophysin and the number of synaptophysin-positive cells in the sham operation group were significantly lower than those in the model and control groups (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can effectively promote the recovery of neurological function in cerebral infarction rats, and partially promote the formation of synaptophysin.
