骨髓间充质干细胞在肝脏疾病治疗中的应用:
是骨髓来源的非造血基质细胞,包括3个主要群体,即造血干细胞、内皮祖细胞和间充质干细胞,其在体内外特定微环境中能诱导分化为有功能的肝(样)细胞,对受损肝脏有修复作用,为各种肝脏疾病的治疗提供了新的治疗方法。
精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸(Arg-Gly-Asp,RGD):RGD三肽最早在20世纪80年代初期被发现,是一类含有精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸的短肽,在细胞黏附中具有重要作用。RGD序列为纤维连接蛋白与受体的结合位点,具有良好的生物活性和肿瘤靶向性,属于大分子物质,能延长分子旋转相关时间,优化多个对比剂参数,提高弛豫率,在肿瘤诊断与治疗领域具有重要的研究价值。

 

摘要
背景:
随着现代分子影像学的进步,使骨髓间充质干细胞干预肿瘤效能的实时监测成为可能。
目的:构建新型转移相关MRI分子影像探针Gd-RGD,通过MRI成像在体观察骨髓间充质干细胞干预前后肝癌转移和增殖行为的变化。  
方法:构建MR转移相关因子分子影像探针整合素αvβ3配体cRGD-PEG-DGL-DTPA-Gd(Gd-RGD),并进行1H-MRS及ICP-AES分析鉴定。制作高转移潜能MHCC97-H和低转移潜能MHCC97-L肝癌动物模型,尾静脉注射骨髓间充质干细胞悬液干预6周,计算肿瘤质量抑制率。骨髓间充质干细胞干预后分别用Gd-DTPA和Gd-RGD两种示踪剂进行MRI成像实验,以SNR和CNR为半定量指标。将MHCC97-H和MHCC97-L与骨髓间充质干细胞进行Transwell共培养,置于37 ℃,体积分数为5% CO2培养箱内培养48 h后采用qPCR法检测转化生长因子β1、骨桥蛋白、整合素亚单位αv和β3的表达。
结果与结论:①经骨髓间充质干细胞干预后,肝癌肿瘤组织质量明显降低。在第3周时,肿瘤质量抑制率最高;②对于高转移潜能肝癌(MHCC97-H),骨髓间充质干细胞干预后Gd-RGD成像SNR和CNR低于骨髓间充质干细胞干预前(P < 0.05)。对于低转移潜能肝癌(MHCC97-L),骨髓间充质干细胞干预前后Gd-RGD成像SNR比较差异无显著性意义(P > 0.05),骨髓间充质干细胞干预后CNR低于骨髓间充质干细胞干预前(P < 0.05);③骨髓间充质干细胞干预后Gd-RGD成像SNR在高、低转移潜能肝癌之间差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05);Gd-DTPA成像SNR和CNR差异不如Gd-RGD成像差异显著;④高转移潜能细胞(MHCC97-H)与骨髓间充质干细胞共培养后,骨桥蛋白、整合素亚单位β3、转化生长因子β1表达有明显的下降(P < 0.05),而αv表达无明显变化(P > 0.05)。低转移潜能细胞(MHCC97-L)与骨髓间充质干细胞共培养后,骨桥蛋白、β3、转化生长因子β1、αv表达均下降(P < 0.05);⑤结果表明,MRI成像中Gd-DTPA和Gd-RGD示踪剂CNR指标可以很好地区分两种具有高低转移潜能肝癌组织,在骨髓间充质干细胞干预后MRI成像中Gd-DTPA和Gd-RGD示踪剂SNR、CNR指标均可以很好地区分两种具有高低转移潜能肝癌组织,且Gd-RGD效果更优。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the advancement of modern molecular imaging, possibilities to monitor the efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) against tumors have been achieved.
OBJECTIVE: To construct a novel metastasis-associated MRI molecular imaging probe, Gd-RGD, and to observe metastasis and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before and after intervention with BMSCs using MRI imaging
.METHODS: The metastasis-associated MR molecular imaging probe, integrin αvβ3 ligand cRGD-PEG-DGL-DTPA-Gd (Gd-RGD), was constructed, and the ingredient analysis and identification were implemented through 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) methods. MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L animal models were established. After BMSCs intervention was administrated via the tail vein for 6 weeks, tumor weight inhibition rate was calculated. MRI imaging with a metastasis-associated integrin ligand RGD molecular probe was performed. Molecular imaging probe Gd-DTPA was taken as control. Signal noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) of MRI were taken as semi-quantitative indicators. MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L animal models before BMSCs intervention were co-cultured with BMSCs using Transwell method. Quantitative PCR method was used to detect proliferation and metastasis-associated indicators, tumor growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), osteopontin, integrin subunits αv and β3.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) After BMSCs transplantation, the tumor tissue weight of HCC decreased obviously, and the tumor weight inhibition rate was peaked in the 3rd week. (2) For high metastatic potential (MHCC97-H), both SNRs and CNRs of Gd-RGD MR imaging before and after BMSCs intervention were statistically different (P < 0.05). For low metastatic potential (MHCC97-L), SNRs of Gd-RGD MR imaging before and after BMSCs intervention were not statistically different (P > 0.05), while CNRs were statistically different (P < 0.05). (3) SNRs of Gd-RGD MRI were significant different between MHCC97-L and MHCC97-H after transplantation (P < 0.05), while SNRs and CNR of Gd-RGD MRI changed significantly as compared with those of Gd-DTPA after cell transplantation. (4) In MHCC97-H cells co-cultured with BMSCs, the osteopontin, integrin subunits αv and β3 and TGF-β1 expression significantly decreased (P < 0.05), but integrin subunit αv expression did not change obviously (P > 0.05). In MHCC97-L cells co-cultured with BMSCs, OPN, β3, TGFβ1 and αv expression significantly decreased (P < 0.05). These findings reveal that the CNR index of MR imaging in two kinds of tracers is a good indicator to distinguish high and low potential HCC tissues. After BMSCs transplantation, the SNR and CNR indexes of Gd-DTPA and Gd-RGD can both distinguish high and low potential HCC tissues, and Gd-RGD imaging can achieve a more accurate distinction compared with Gd-DTPA.
