肝干细胞的基因治疗在肝病中的应用

1.肝干细胞是基因治疗的良好靶细胞:肝干细胞不同于其他的人体肝细胞,有两方面的特征,即具有干细胞的高度增殖的能力,又具有向肝细胞和胆管细胞双向分化的潜能。研究表明完全分化成熟的肝细胞移植入合适的宿主之后可以在肝脏中重新分群发挥功能。为什么要选择肝干细胞作为基因治疗的靶细胞呢?(1)成熟的肝细胞在肝脏中重新分群需要持续的肝损伤或内源性肝细胞增生障碍来提供选择压力,而干细胞则不需要。(2)尽管成熟的肝细胞可以在体外     

深低温冷冻肌腱细胞活性的研究

目的研究深低温冷冻方法对肌腱细胞活性的影响,比较程序性降温和普通深低温冷冻法对腱细胞活性的影响.方法纯种SD大鼠24只（出生21 d）,随机分为3组,取双侧跟腱.新鲜肌腱对照组（A）,常规深低温冷冻组（B）,程序性降温深低温冷冻组（C）.采用相同的方法对3组肌腱细胞进行细胞培养.相差显微镜观察原代和传代后细胞的生长,绘制细胞的生长曲线,考察细胞的活性;对细胞进行成纤维细胞染色、胶原染色和对细胞进行形态观察（扫描电镜）;水解法定量分析细胞培养基中羟脯氨酸浓度的变化,检测细胞合成胶原的能力.结果原代细胞培养时A组细胞的生长速度快于B组和C组（P＜0.01）,C组细胞的生长速度快于B组（P＜0.01）,这种生长速度的差异在细胞传代后消失.细胞的形态学和组织学符合成纤维细胞形态.3组细胞培养基中羟脯氨酸浓度变化的差异无统计意义（P＞0.05）.结论经深低温冷冻处理的肌腱中仍存在具有活性的腱细胞,但数量显著少于新鲜肌腱中活细胞的数量.应用计算机控制程序性慢速降温方法处理的肌腱其活细胞的数量有所提高,但仍低于新鲜肌腱中活细胞的数量.     

内皮祖细胞对肿瘤血管新生的作用及潜在临床价值

肿瘤动物模型研究显示,骨髓来源的内皮祖细胞(EPC)在肿瘤血管化和肿瘤生长中发挥重要作用.存在于骨髓中的EPC,在肿瘤分泌的某些因子或信号刺激下动员到外周血使其水平升高,并归巢到肿瘤组织的新生血管床.临床研究表明,EPC水平的变化可预测抗肿瘤药物包括抗血管生成药物的疗效.基于这些观察,EPC对于恶性肿瘤有潜在的诊断和治疗作用.

目的探讨氯胺酮对体外培养夫鼠神经干细胞(NSC)增殖与凋亡的影响。方法采用无血清培养和单细胞克隆技术,在大鼠海马分离培养具有单细胞克隆能力的细胞群,采用免疫荧光细胞化学技术证实为NSC。将NSC以5×10~4/孔接种于96孔培养板中,分别加入浓度为0(未加氯胺酮)、5、10、20、50、100、200、500、1000 mmol·L~(-1)氯胺酮,每个浓度5孔。采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝比色法检测NSC光密度(OD),并计算生长抑制率(RI)。采用流式细胞仪测定氯胺酮浓度为0、10、100、500、1000 mmol·L~(-1)时NSC凋亡率。结果与氯胺酮浓度0时比较,200、500、1000 mmol/L氯胺酮可降低NSC OD,升高RI,10、100、500、1000 mmol·L~(-1)氯胺酮可升高NSC凋亡率(P＜0．05或0．01)。结论氯胺酮对体外培养大鼠NSC增殖有抑制作用,并能诱导NSC凋亡,且该作用与氯胺酮浓度有关     

细胞内游离Ca2+在发育中大鼠皮层神经元无镁诱导惊厥性损伤中的作用

目的: 观察细胞内游离Ca2+([Ca2+]i)在培养的不同发育阶段皮层神经元无镁诱导惊厥性损伤中的作用,探讨惊厥性脑损伤年龄依赖性的可能机制.方法:体外培养6 d、17 d的胚胎大鼠皮层神经元用无镁细胞外液处理3 h,或于无镁处理前用NMDA(N-甲基-D-门冬氨酸)受体拮抗剂或Ca2+通道阻滞剂预处理,用MTT代谢率测定的方法检测神经元损伤,以Fluo-3作标记用激光共聚焦显微镜扫描的方法检测[Ca2+]i.结果:体外培养6 d、17 d的神经元单纯无镁组MTT代谢率较同期对照组降低.应用MK-801 10 μmol*L-1、AP-5 50 μmol*L-1、尼莫地平10 μmol*L-1预处理后再给无镁处理,培养6 d、17 d的神经元MTT代谢率均不同程度高于同期单纯无镁组.培养6 d、17 d的神经元相对荧光强度之间差异有显著性,两者与基线荧光强度比较差异亦有显著性.应用上述各种拮抗剂后,[Ca2+]i改变的峰值均明显低于同期单纯无镁组.结论: 在体外不同发育阶段的神经元,短暂无镁处理诱导惊厥样放电所引起的神经元线粒体功能损伤以及[Ca2+]i改变程度不同.这种[Ca2+]i改变的年龄依赖性可能是惊厥导致神经元损伤的年龄依赖性的机制之一.NMDA受体-Ca2+通道激活是导致这种[Ca2+]i改变及神经元损伤的关键环节.

Adipose tissues differentiated by adipose-derived stem cells harvested from transgenic mice

Objective: To induce adipocyte differentiation in vitro by adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) harvested from transgenic mice with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and assess the possibility of constructing adipose tissues via attachment of ASCs to typeⅡcollagen scaffolds. Methods: Inguinal fat pads from GFP transgenic mice were digested by enzymes for isolation of ASCs (primary culture). After expansion to three passages of ASCs, the cells were incubated in an adipogenic medium for two weeks, and the adipocyte differentiation by ASCs in vitro was assessed by morphological observation and Oil Red O staining. Then they were attached to collagen scaffolds and co-cultured for 12 hours, followed by hypodermic implantation to the dorsal skin of nude mice for 2 months. The newly-formed tissues were detected by HE staining. Results: The cultured primary stem cells were fibroblast-like and showed active proliferation. After being incubated in an adipocyte differentiation medium, the lipid droplets in the cytoplasm accumulated gradually and finally developed into mature adipocytes, which showed positive in Oil Red O staining. A 0. 5-cm3 new tissue clot was found under the dorsal skin of the nude mice and it was confirmed as mature adipose tissues by fluorescent observation and HE staining. Conclusions: ASCs can successfully differentiate adipose tissues into mature adipocytes, which exhibit an adipocyte-like morphology and express as intracytoplasmic lipid droplets. It is an efficient model of adipose tissues engineered with ASCs and type I collagen scaffolds.     

大鼠脂肪干细胞复合胶原-壳聚糖-硫酸软骨素三维支架构建组织工程软骨

Objective To evaluate the character of the collagen-chitosan-chondroitin sulfate scaffold seeded with rat adipose tissue-derived stromal cells. Methods A dipose tissue were harvested from 6 weeks old Wistar rats and the stromal cells were harvested by type Ⅰ collagenase and then cultured in vitro. Type Ⅰ collagen was fully mixed with chitosan, freeze-dried and cross-linked with chondroitin sulfate, then freeze-dried again and sterilized by ethylene oxide. The pore diameter, water content, porosity of the scaffold were tested. The adipose tissue-derived stromal cells were digested, seeded into the plates, scaffold, and cen-trifuged into pellet, and then induced into cartilage. MTT detection for cell proliferation was done. After 3 weeks, the cell morphology, and cell proliferation and adhesion were observed, and chondrngenic differenti-ation was also analyzed. Results The pore diameter, water content, porosity tested for the scaffold showed an appropriate form. Cell proliferation showed faster in the scaffold and pellet culture system after 5 day, there was still cell proliferation in the scaffold system after 14 days but no obvious changes in the pellet cul-ture system; ceils on the scaffold proliferated densely showed by histological staining, but there was a scaf-fold structure residues in the inner layer. The finding of type Ⅱ immunohistochemistry stain showed that cells express strong positive for type Ⅱ collagen in the scaffold and pellet culture system whereas it was weakly positive in the plate culture system; the specific mRNA for cartilage, type Ⅱ collagen, aggrecan and SOX-9 were expressed in all three systems showed by RT-PCR, but type X collagen was expressed continu-ously in the plate culture system and expressed after 21 days in the pellet culture system, whereas it was not detected in the collagen-chitosan-chondroitin sulfate scaffold system. Conclusion The parameters of the collagen-chitosan-chondroitin sulfate scaffold were suitable in our study. The results suggested that it can promote the adipose tissue-derived stromal cells proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation better than the plate and pellet culture systems and maintain the phenotype of chondrocytes well; it is the optimal choice for cartilage tissue engineering in the future.
