摘要:


文题释义:

过表达慢病毒:慢病毒载体是以HIV为基础发展起来的基因治疗载体,它对分裂细胞和非分裂细胞均具有感染能力,可以在体内较长期的表达且安全性高。慢病毒为“自杀”性病毒,即病毒感染目的细胞后不会再感染其他细胞,也不会利用宿主细胞产生新的病毒颗粒,慢病毒中的毒性基因已经被剔除并被外源性目的基因所取代,属于假性病毒。过表达慢性病毒产品可通过对慢病毒载体的改造和病毒包装,获得带特定基因序列的慢病毒颗粒,以满足不同的实验需求。
基因修饰:主要是指利用生物化学方法修改DNA序列,将目的基因片段导入宿主细胞内,或者将特定基因片段从基因组中删除,从而达到改变宿主细胞基因型或者使得原有基因型得到加强的作用。


背景:干细胞来源胰岛β细胞移植被认为是治疗1型糖尿病的有效手段。人脐带间充质干细胞是理想的细胞来源,但其向胰岛β细胞分化的效率不高。

目的:研究MAFA、PDX1修饰促进人脐带间充质干细胞向胰岛素分泌细胞分化的潜能。
方法:构建MAFA-PDX1过表达慢病毒载体,用细胞形态学、RT-qPCR法、双硫腙染色比较3种方案[方案A:单纯慢病毒组;方案B:先药物(尼克酰胺、β-巯基乙醇)诱导再加慢病毒组;方案C:慢病毒和药物诱导同时进行组]诱导人脐带间充质干细胞分化为胰岛素分泌细胞的效率和潜能。

结果与结论:①细胞形态学改变:经3种方案诱导后细胞形态均发生了改变,方案B在诱导第11天细胞聚集生长最为明显,出现聚集生长的胰岛样细胞团;② RT-qPCR检测胰岛相关基因的表达差异:同一诱导时间点3种方案横向比较,在诱导第5天,方案C的MAFA和PDX1基因表达量最高,方案B的GCG基因表达量最高;在诱导第11天,方案B的MAFA、PDX1基因表达量以及INS和GLUT2基因表达量最高;③双硫腙染色鉴定锌离子:3种方案诱导第11天部分细胞被双硫腙染成棕红色,其中方案B中部分小岛状细胞被染成棕红色,颜色较深(阳性表达);④结果表明,MAFA和PDX1共过表达可促进人脐带间充质干细胞向胰岛素分泌细胞分化;MAFA-PDX1基因修饰联合药物诱导方案优于单纯基因修饰方案。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Transplantation of stem cell-derived islet β cells has been considered effective for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell is an ideal cellular source, but with a low differentiation efficiency to islet β cells.  
OBJECTIVE: To explore the possibility of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells modified by MAFA and PDX1 to differentiate into insulin-producing cells.
METHODS: MAFA-PDX1 lentivirus expression vectors were constructed. The efficiency and potentiality of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into insulin-producing cells with three methods were compared by cell morphology, RT-qPCR, and dithizone staining [protocol A: Simple lentivirus group; protocol B: Drug (nicotinamide β-mercaptoethanol) induction followed by lentivirus group; protocol C: lentivirus and drug induction group].  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Morphological change of cells: Cell morphology was all altered after the induction of three protocols. At day 11, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells induced by protocol B showed the most cell clusters among the three protocols, appearing aggregated islet-like cell clusters. (2) Islet-related gene expression detected by RT-qPCR: Horizontal comparison of the three protocols at the same induction time point showed that the expression levels of MAFA and PDX1 genes were the highest in protocol C on day 5 of induction, and those in protocol B were the highest on day 11 of induction. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells induced by protocol B had the greatest expression of GCG gene at day 5, INS and GLUT2 genes at day 11. (3) Dithizone staining to identify zinc ions: parts of the post-induced cells were stained brownish red by dithizone on day 11. The partial small island cells were stained brownish red with a darker color (positive expression) in protocol B. (4) It is concluded that the overexpression of MAFA and PDX1 can promote the differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into insulin-producing cells. The combination of MAFA-PDX1 gene modification and drug induction is superior to the single gene modification.
