摘要:

文题释义:
人脐带间充质干细胞:是由新生儿脐带中分离出来的间充质干细胞,具有多向分化潜能,可以定向归巢到炎症、损伤部位并且存活增殖,还可以分泌多种生长因子来参与损伤修复、抗纤维化、免疫调控等过程。
心肌肥厚:高血压状态下,动脉血压的长期持续升高会导致代偿性心肌肥厚,肥大的心肌需氧增加极易发生心肌缺血,进一步恶化将导致心力衰竭的发生,其已成为临床预测心肌梗死、卒中、猝死、心力衰竭及心血管疾病总死亡率的强预测因子。

背景:左心室肥厚作为高血压病常见的靶器官损害,是心脑血管疾病高发病率和死亡率的独立危险因素。间充质干细胞可以促进组织修复,调节免疫反应,可作为治疗心肌肥厚的种子细胞。
目的:观察人脐带间充质干细胞静脉注射治疗小鼠心肌肥厚的疗效。
方法:①将C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为假手术组、人脐带间充质干细胞组、PBS组,其中人脐带间充质干细胞组和PBS组采用主动脉弓缩窄术构建C57BL/6J小鼠心肌肥厚模型,人脐带间充质干细胞组小鼠术后第5周开始,尾静脉注射细胞混悬液,每周1次,连续4周,PBS组小鼠尾静脉注射等量PBS,术后6-11周采用超声心动图观察各组小鼠心功能,术后9,10,11周采用苏木精-伊红染色、Western blot检测心肌细胞肥大程度;②体外实验中,通过异丙肾上腺素诱导H9c2细胞肥大,然后将人脐带间充质干细胞与肥大的H9c2细胞共培养于TranswellTM小室中,共培养48 h后F-actin染色分析H9c2细胞横截面积,qRT-PCR检测H9c2细胞内心房钠尿肽、脑钠尿肽和β-肌球蛋白重链mRNA表达量。
结果与结论:①超声心动图结果证实:人脐带间充质干细胞组小鼠左心室射血分数、左室短轴缩短率明显高于同期PBS组(P < 0.05);②苏木精-伊红染色结果发现,相比于PBS组,人脐带间充质干细胞组心肌纤维排列整齐,心肌细胞横截面积明显减小(P < 0.05);③Western blot实验结果证明,人脐带间充质干细胞组小鼠心肌组织中心房钠尿肽、脑钠尿肽和β-肌球蛋白重链蛋白水平明显低于同期PBS组(P < 0.01);④与异丙肾上腺素组相比,共培养后的H9c2细胞面积明显减小(P < 0.01),同时,H9c2细胞中心房钠尿肽、脑钠尿肽和β-肌球蛋白重链mRNA水平明显减少(P < 0.05);⑤结果表明,人脐带间充质干细胞可通过抑制细胞内肥大相关基因的表达,在一定程度上缓解压力负荷型心肌肥厚的发生,改善小鼠心功能。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: As a common target organ damage in hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells can promote tissue repair, regulate immune response, and can be used as seed cells for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of intravenous injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of myocardial hypertrophy in mice. 
METHODS: (1) C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group, and a PBS group. Among them, transverse aortic constriction was used to construct a C57BL/6J mouse cardiac hypertrophy model in the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group and the PBS group. The mice in the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group were injected with the cell suspension into the tail vein once a week for 4 weeks starting from the 5th week after the operation. The mice in the PBS group were injected with the same amount of PBS in the tail vein. At 6-11 weeks after operation, echocardiography was used to observe the cardiac function of the mice in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and western blot assay were used to detect the degree of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy at 9, 10, and 11 weeks after surgery. (2) In vitro experiment, H9c2 cells hypertrophy was induced by isoproterenol. Afterwards, the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and hypertrophic H9c2 cells were co-cultured in TranswellTM chamber for 48 hours. F-actin staining was used to analyze H9c2 cells area. qRT-PCR was utilized to determine mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain in H9c2 cells. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The results of echocardiography confirmed that the left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fraction shortening of mouse heart in the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group were significantly higher than those in the PBS group (P < 0.05). (2) Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that compared with the PBS group, the myocardial fibers in the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group were neatly arranged and the cross-sectional area of myocardial cells was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). (3) Western blot assay results showed that the protein expression levels of atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain of mouse cardiomyocytes in the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group were significantly lower than those in the PBS group at the same time point (P < 0.01). (4) Compared with the isoproterenol group, the area of H9c2 cells after co-culture was significantly reduced (P < 0.01); the mRNA expression levels of atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and β-myosin heavy chain in H9c2 cells were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). (5) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can alleviate the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy induced by pressure overload and improve the cardiac function of mice by inhibiting the expression of hypertrophy-related genes in cells.

Key words: human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, mouse, transverse aortic constriction, cellular hypertrophy, cell co-culture, atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, β-myosin heavy chain
