文题释义:
干细胞骨向分化:
指具有多向分化潜能的成体干细胞经复杂的生物过程分化为成骨细胞,它是骨形成的主要功能细胞,在骨骼生长、骨量维持过程中起着重要作用,同时对受损骨细胞或者组织具有一定的修复能力。成骨分化这一重要潜能,使得干细胞在组织工程研究与骨组织损伤修复中占据重要地位。
NF-κB信号通路:是间充质干细胞向成骨分化的重要通路,它通过调节成骨分化信号通路及骨基质形成,实现对骨发育和骨改建的调控作用。NF-κB作为核转录因子,通过多个靶基因表达进行调控,参与机体免疫应答、炎症反应等生理过程,并在细胞增殖、转化和凋亡等方面发挥作用。NF-κB作为一个关键的炎症因子在慢性牙周炎的研究中受到广泛关注。

 

摘要
背景:
既往研究大多侧重于炎症因子激活NF-κB信号通路对骨细胞的影响,关于微炎症环境对人牙周膜干细胞成骨分化及NF-κB信号通路的影响研究较少。
目的:探讨肿瘤坏死因子α对人牙周膜干细胞骨向分化及NF-κB信号通路的影响。
方法:通过酶消化结合组织块法体外培养人牙周膜干细胞,免疫组织化学染色鉴定人牙周膜干细胞来源。该研究获得青海大学附属医院伦理委员会批准,患者均签署知情同意书。将人牙周膜干细胞分为2组,对照组用单纯成骨诱导液培养,肿瘤坏死因子α组用单纯成骨诱导液+10 μg/L肿瘤坏死因子α培养。在成骨诱导不同时间点,进行茜素红染色定量分析、碱性磷酸酶活性检测,实时定量RT-PCR检测Osterix、Runx2基因表达水平,Western Blot检测NF-κB信号通路关键蛋白表达水平。
结果与结论:①免疫组织化学染色结果显示人牙周膜干细胞抗波形丝蛋白染色表达阳性,抗角蛋白表达阴性;②茜素红染色后肿瘤坏死因子α组形成的矿化结节比对照组数量少、范围小、染色浅;③肿瘤坏死因子α组碱性磷酸酶活性明显低于对照组(P < 0.05);④肿瘤坏死因子α组Osterix、Runx2基因表达水平均显著低于对照组(P < 0.05);⑤肿瘤坏死因子α组p-IκBα蛋白表达量显著高于对照组(P < 0.05),p65、IκBα蛋白表达量显著低于对照组(P < 0.05);⑥结果表明,肿瘤坏死因子α能够通过激活NF-κB信号通路抑制人牙周膜干细胞成骨分化。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on the effects of inflammatory factors-activated nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway on bone cells. Little has been reported on the effects of micro-inflammatory environment on osteogenic differentiation and nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathways of human periodontal ligament stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on osteogenic differentiation and nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway of periodontal ligament stem cells.
METHODS: Human periodontal ligament stem cells were cultured in vitro by enzymatic digestion combined with tissue explant method, and the cell source was identified by immunohistochemical staining. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, and informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the enrollment in the study. The cells were cultured in simple osteogenic induction medium (control group) or osteogenic induction medium containing 10 μg/L tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha group). Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase activity were used to detect the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on the expression of osteogenic differentiation genes, Osterix and Runx2. Western blot was used to detect the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical staining showed that human periodontal ligament stem cells were positive for anti-vimentin and negative for anti-keratin. After alizarin red staining, mineralized nodules formed in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha group were fewer in number, smaller in scope and lighter in staining than those in the control group. Alkaline phosphatase activity in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Real-time quantitative RT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of Osterix and Runx2 mRNA in tumor necrosis factor-alpha group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Western blot assay showed that, compared with the control group, the expression of p-IκBα protein increased significantly in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha group (P < 0.05), while the expression of p65 and IκBα proteins decreased (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that tumor necrosis factor-alpha can inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells by activating the nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway.

Key words: human periodontal ligament stem cells, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, osteogenic differentiation, nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteogenic gene
