5-氮胞苷诱导骨髓间充质干细胞向心肌细胞分化的研究

分离大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞,体外培养呈现成纤维细胞表型,用12μmol//L 5-氮胞苷(5-aza)诱导培养,一周后细胞变为细长形成杆状.两周后培养细胞与临近的细胞融合,三周后形成类肌管状结构.通过RT-PCR检测,5-氮胞苷诱导前,间充质干细胞表达α-actin,desmin和MEF-2D,5-aza诱导后表达β-MHC和GATA4.westem Blot分析结果表明α-actin在诱导前后都表达,而myosin则在诱导后才表达.免疫荧光标记α-actin和β-MHC,证实了上述结果,即在5-氮胞苷诱导前后细胞表达α-actin,诱导后myosin才在细胞质中表达,Myosin和β-MHC是心肌细胞特异表达的蛋白.上述结果表明骨髓间充质干细胞具有向新生心室肌分化的潜能,这些诱导分化的细胞为心肌梗塞移植治疗提供一种潜在的供体细胞.

将内皮细胞生长因子(VEGF)置于甲基纤维素碟中形成VEGF的浓度梯度分布,并将人脐带间充质干细胞(Mesenchymal stem cells,MSCs)于此浓度梯度中培养,观察VEGF能否诱导MSCs定向迁移。应用近场扫描光学显微术(Near-field scanning optical microscopy,NSOM)同时获取了VEGF诱导前后的MSCs的形貌和光学信息。结果表明,近场光学图观测到形貌图上所没有的黑色斑点,分析认为这些黑斑为细胞的黏着斑。近场光学图显示经过VEGF诱导后细胞的黏着斑数量明显增加。同时,对诱导前后干细胞的骨架蛋白进行免疫荧光标记并用共聚焦显微镜进行观察,结果表明细胞骨架由诱导前的无序状态转变为诱导后的有序状态,说明诱导后的干细胞处于迁移状态。光学超微结构图则显示了诱导后干细胞表面的光学细节比诱导前细胞大量增加,出现了大量直径约200 nm的光斑,这是由于细胞表面大量分泌黏附分子等蛋白分子引起的,这些结果为VEGF能够诱导MSCs进行定向迁移提供了实验依据和可视化证明。也表明NSOM不但能提供高分辨的光学分辨率,还可提供生物细胞精细结构的更深层次的光学信息。

Preparation and characterization of composite nanofibers of polycaprolactone and nanohydroxyapatite for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

Nanocomposites of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP) dispersed in poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared by electrospinning (ES) to obtain PCL/nHAP nanofibers. Nanofibers with similar diameters (340 ± 30 nm) but different nHAP concentrations (0-50%) were fabricated and studied for growth and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The nanofibrous membranes were subjected to detailed analysis for its physicochemical properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and mechanical tensile testing. nHAP particles (~30 nm diameter) embedded in nanofibers increased the nanofibrous membrane's ultimate stress and the elastic modulus, while decreased the strain at failure. When cultured under an osteogenic stimulation condition on nanofibers, MSCs showed normal phenotypic cell morphology, and time-dependent mineralization and osteogenic differentiation from SEM observations and alkaline phosphatase activity assays. The nanofibers could support the growth of mesenchymal stem cells without compromising their osteogenic differentiation capability up to 21 days and the enhancement of cell differentiation by nHAP is positively correlated with its concentration in the nanofibers. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis of Ca and P elements indicated mineral deposits on the cell surface. The mineralization extent was significantly raised in nanofibers with 50% nHAP where a Ca/P ratio similar to that of bone was found. The present study indicated that electrospun composite PCL/nHAP nanofibrous membranes are suitable for mineralization of MSCs intended for bone tissue engineering.     

Bmp 2 and Bmp 7 Induce Odonto- And Osteogenesis of Human Tooth Germ Stem Cells

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) initiate, promote, and maintain odontogenesis and osteogenesis. In this study, we studied the effect of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP 2) and bone morphogenic protein 7 (BMP 7) as differentiation inducers in tooth and bone regeneration. We compared the effect of BMP 2 and BMP 7 on odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human tooth germ stem cells (hTGSCs). Third molar-derived hTGSCs were characterized with mesenchymal stem cell surface markers by flow cytometry. BMP 2 and BMP 7 were transfected into hTGSCs and the cells were seeded onto six-well plates. One day after the transfection, hTGSCs were treated with odontogenic and osteogenic mediums for 14 days. For confirmation of odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation, mRNA levels of BMP2, BMP 7, collagen type 1 (COL1A), osteocalsin (OCN), and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) genes were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. In addition to this, immunocytochemistry was performed by odontogenic and osteogenic antibodies and mineralization obtained by von Kossa staining. Our results showed that the BMP 2 and BMP 7 both promoted odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hTGSCs. Data indicated that BMP 2 treatment and BMP 7 treatment induce odontogenic differentiation without affecting each other, whereas they induce osteogenic differentiation by triggering expression of each other. These findings provide a feasible tool for tooth and bone tissue engineering.     

Ultra-small nanodots coated with oligopeptides providing highly negative charges to enhance osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs better than osteogenic induction medium

For bone regenerative engineering,it is a promising method to form skeletal tissues differentiating from human bone morrow mesenchyme stem cells(hBMSCs).However,it is still a critical challenge to efficiently control ostogenesis and clearly reveal the influence factor.To this end,the fluorescent gold nanodots(Au NDs) with highly negative charges as osteogenic induction reagent are successfully synthesized,which display better than commercial osteogenic induction medium through the investigations of ALP activity(2.5 folds) and cytoskeleton staining(1.5 folds).Two kinds of oligopeptides with different bio-structures(cysteine,Cys and glutathione,GSH) are selected for providing surficial charges on Au NDs.It is revealed that Au-Cys with more negative charges(-51 mV) play better role than Au-GSH(-19 mV) in osteogenic differentiation,when both of them have same size(~2 nm),sphere shape and show similar cell uptake amount.To explore deeply,osteogenesis related signaling pathways are monitored,revealing that the enhancement of osteogenic differentiation was through autophagy signaling pathway triggered by Au-Cys.And the promotion of highly negative charges in osteogenic diffe rentiation was further proved via sliver nanodots(Ag NDs,Ag-Cys and Ag-GSH) and carbon nanodots(CDs,Cys-CDs and GSH-CDs).This work indicates part of insights during hBMSCs differentiation and provides a novel strategy in osteogenic differentiation process.     

Electrochemical Monitoring of Saos‐2 Cell Differentiation on Pyrolytic Carbon Electrodes

In this study we establish an electrochemical platform based on two dimensional (2D) pyrolytic carbon electrodes for in vitro analysis of osteoblast differentiation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to monitor cell adhesion and proliferation, while an electrochemical assay based on square wave voltammetry (SWV) was applied to measure the activity of the differentiation marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP). 2D pyrolytic carbon electrodes were fabricated and used to monitor Saos‐2 cell differentiation for a period of up to 21 days. With this method it was possible to detect a faster increase of ALP activity for cells cultured in medium supplemented with differentiation factors compared to cells cultured in growth medium. This was confirmed by the results obtained with Alizarin Red staining, showing that cells subjected to osteogenic medium went through the entire differentiation process, from proliferation to mineralization. Finally, for the first time, real‐time monitoring of ALP activity combined with continuous EIS monitoring of the same cell culture was achieved using the pyrolytic carbon electrodes.     

Laponite–Gelatin Nanofibrous Microsphere Promoting Human Dental Follicle Stem Cells Attachment and Osteogenic Differentiation for Noninvasive Stem Cell Transplantation

Nanofibrous microspheres (NFM) are emerging as prominent next-generation biomimetic injectable scaffold system for stem cell delivery and different tissue regeneration where nanofibrous topography facilitates ECM-like stem cells niches. Addition of osteogenic bioactive nanosilicate platelets within NFM can provide osteoconductive cues to facilitate matrix mediated osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and enhance the efficiency of bone tissue regeneration. In this study, gelatin nanofibrous microspheres are prepared containing fluoride-doped laponite XL21 (LP) using the emulsion mediated thermal induce phase separation (TIPS) technique. Systematic studies are performed to understand the effect of physicochemical properties of biomimicking NFM alone and with different concentrations of LP on human dental follicle stem cells (hDFSCs), their cellular attachment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. The study highlights the effect of LP nanosilicate with biomimicking nanofibrous injectable scaffold system aiding in enhancing stem cell differentiation under normal physiological conditions compared to NFM without LP. The laponite–NFM shows suitability as excellent injectable biomaterials system for stem cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation for stem cell transplantation and bone tissue regeneration.
