摘要:


文题释义:

根尖牙乳头干细胞:从根尖未发育完全年轻恒牙的根尖牙乳头组织中分离得到的一组具有自我更新、克隆形成和多向分化能力的间充质干细胞群。它在牙根形成和发育中起重要作用,是构建组织工程牙齿的种子细胞。

炎性肠病:主要包括克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎2种类型,是以肠道炎症和组织损伤为特征的慢性疾病。炎性肠病主要流行于欧美国家,在中国发病率呈增长趋势,其发病机制尚未完全阐明。在临床上其病情常有反复、迁延不愈,且有癌变风险,仍缺乏有效的治疗手段。目前有研究表明促炎性细胞因子和抗炎性细胞因子间失衡导致肠上皮损伤是炎性肠病的重要病理机制。


背景:根尖牙乳头干细胞在牙根形成和发育中起重要作用,但是关于根尖牙乳头干细胞免疫调节作用方面的研究并不充分。

目的:探讨根尖牙乳头干细胞对葡聚糖硫酸钠诱导的实验性肠炎的治疗作用。

方法:将24只C57/BL6小鼠随机平分为4组:正常对照组、模型对照组、根尖牙乳头干细胞组、FasL敲低根尖牙乳头干细胞组;除了正常对照组,其余3组小鼠饮用3%葡聚糖硫酸钠溶液诱导建立急性实验性肠炎模型,并在诱导开始第3天分别腹腔注射PBS、人根尖牙乳头干细胞(2×106个细胞)及FasL敲减根尖牙乳头干细胞(2×106个细胞)。诱导第10天处死小鼠,通过体质量及结肠长度测量、结肠组织病理学分析、结肠组织肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素6、白细胞介素1β水平来评估结肠炎的严重程度,流式细胞分析比较各组小鼠肠系膜淋巴结调节性T细胞(Tregs)水平。

结果与结论:根尖牙乳头干细胞移植对葡聚糖硫酸钠诱导的小鼠肠炎具有治疗作用,小鼠肠炎症状、体质量减轻状况明显改善,结肠的组织病理学评分及3项炎症因子水平显著降低,肠系膜淋巴结中Tregs水平显著上调。FasL基因敲减后根尖牙乳头干细胞丧失其治疗效果;因此 Fas-FasL通路在根尖牙乳头干细胞发挥免疫调控机制中发挥了重要的作用。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) play important roles in the formation and development of dental roots. However, the immune-modulating capacity of SCAP has not been fully elucidated.

OBJECTIVE: To test the therapeutic effects of transplantation of SCAP on dextran sulfate sodium-induced experimental colitis.

METHODS: Twenty-four C57/BL6 mice were equally divided into four groups (normal control, positive control, SCAP treatment group, and FasL-knockdown SCAP group), and latter three groups of mice were induced to acute experimental colitis by 3% dextran sulfate sodium in drinking water. At day 3 after modeling, model mice were treated with PBS, human SCAP (2×106 cells), and FasL-knockdown SCAP via intraperitoneal injection, respectively. Inflammation was evaluated by measuring body mass and length of the colon, detecting levels of interleukin 1β, interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α, as well as histological analyses at day 10 after modeling. Levels of Tregs in mesenteric lymph nodes in mice were detected using flow cytometric analysis.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: SCAP transplantation could ameliorate the inflammation in dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mice, and body mass loss and symptoms were significantly improved. Pathological score and the levels of three inflammatory cytokines in the colon tissue decreased significantly. Flow cytometric analysis revealed an increased level of Tregs in mesenteric lymph nodes. Knocking down of FasL gene in SCAP abrogated the therapeutic effects of SCAP in ameliorating dextran sulphate sodium-induced colitis. Therefore, Fas-FasL pathway played an important role in the underlying mechanism of the immune-modulating capacity of SCAP.
