异体骨髓间充质干细胞在骨髓嵌合小鼠体内分化为肝细胞的实验研究

目的 探讨小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,BMSCs)在体内分化为肝细胞的可行性.方法 雌性C57BL/6J小鼠全身一次性接受10Gy 60Coγ射线照射后立即接受同品系绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescence protein,GFP)转基因小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞移植.移植后1周、1、3个月取骨髓嵌合小鼠肝脏,石蜡切片行GFP抗体免疫组化,冰冻切片在荧光显微镜下观察GFP阳性细胞在肝内分布.石蜡切片行GFP抗体和白蛋白(albumin,Alb)抗体以及GFP抗体和细胞角蛋白18(cytokeratin 18,CK18)抗体免疫荧光双标染色法,以此检测GFP阳性细胞在受体小鼠肝内的分化情况.结果 移植后1周、1、3个月骨髓嵌合小鼠肝内皆可见GFP阳性细胞,且有随时间减少的趋势,并都可见GFP和Alb双阳性细胞.结论 异体骨髓间充质干细胞可在骨髓嵌合小鼠体内分化为表达Alb和CK18的肝细胞,为肝组织的再生和修复提供了新思路.

Transdifferentiation of allotype BMSCs into hepatocytes in bone marrow chimeric mice

Objective To detect whether mice bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)can contribute to the regeneration of hepatocytes in bone marrow chimeric mice.Methods Female recipient mice(C57BL/6J)underwent whole body gamma-ray irradiation with a dose of 10 Gy to ablate their bone marrow,followed by immediate tail vein injection of BMSCs isolated from male GFP transgenic mice.Animals were killed at different phase points:1 week,1 month,and 3 months.Using fluorescence microscope we directly observed GFP-positive cells in the liver frozen sections,and we also prepared the parafilm sections to detect the GFP-positive cells and the coexpression of GFP and Alb,CK18 by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence respectively.Results We found numerous GFP-positive cells in recipient mice liver at 1 week after BMSCs transplantation,some at 1 month and seldom at 3 months.There were some cells coexpressing GFP and Alb,CK18 at all the phase points.Conclusion Allotype BMSCs can differentiate into Alb and CK18 positive hepatocytes in bone marrow chimeric mice,which will become an ideal cell resource for liver tissue project.
