摘要:

背景:移植脂肪源干细胞在活体内的归巢、迁移、增殖和分化的机制仍未得到充分阐明。活体生物发光活体成像技术是近来发展起来的一种可以直接检测活细胞在动物体内生物学行为的新的技术方法。
目的:探讨用活体生物发光成像技术检测大鼠跟腱内移植的经荧光基因修饰的脂肪源干细胞可行性。
方法:分离培养大鼠腹腔来源的脂肪源干细胞,用浓度为3×1010 L-1携带虫荧光素酶的腺病毒载体对其进行转染,观察转染对脂肪源干细胞的影响;将转染的脂肪源干细胞移植到大鼠跟腱缺损处,移植后1,4,7,14 d用活体生物发光成像技术检测移植脂肪源干细胞荧光素酶的表达,移植后28 d跟腱标本冰冻切片在荧光显微镜下观察。
结果与结论:在体外,腺病毒转染对脂肪源干细胞的生长和增殖无明显影响(P > 0.05)。细胞移植后1,4,7,14 d,活体生物发光成像技术在实验侧修复段跟腱检测到的荧光表达强度分别为(1.22±0.43)×106、(1.81±0.76)×106、(1.88±0.69)×106和(0.89±0.26)×105光子/s(n=6)。而对照侧跟腱修复段未检测到荧光表达;移植后28 d,实验侧跟腱冰冻切片在荧光显微镜下见到大量表达荧光的细胞。表明活体生物发光成像技术可成功追踪大鼠跟腱内移植的经荧光基因修饰的脂肪源干细胞。脂肪源干细胞有望成为肌腱组织工程的种子细胞。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms for the homing, migration, proliferation and differentiation of transplanted adipose tissue derived stem cells remain unclear. The in vivo bioluminescent imaging system is a newly developed technique for directly detecting the biological behaviors of transplanted cells in vivo. 
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility of using in vivo bioluminescent imaging system to monitor the genetically modified adipose tissue derived stem cells transplanted in Achilles tendon of rats.
METHODS: Adipose tissue derived stem cells isolated from the abdominal cavity of Sprague-Dawley rat were transduced with an adenovirus containing the luciferase reporter gene (3×1010/L), to observe the influence of transfection on the adipose tissue derived stem cells. Subsequently, the transfected cells were implanted into Achilles tendon defects in rats. The in vivo bioluminescent imaging system was used at days 1, 4, 7 and 14 following transplantation to assess the luciferase expression. The cryosections of repaired Achilles tendon of rats were observed under fluorescence microscope at day 28 postoperatively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No influence on the morphology and proliferation of adipose tissue derived stem cells was observed after transducing in vitro (P > 0.05). On the repaired Achilles tendon, the luciferase gene expression detected with in vivo bioluminescent imaging system at days 1, 4, 7 and 14 was respectively (1.22±0.43)×106, (1.81±0.76)×106, (1.88±0.69)×106 and (0.89±0.26)×105 counts/s (n=6). Abundant adipose tissue derived stem cells with luciferase expression were also seen in tendon cryosections of this side under fluorescence microscope at day 28. The luciferase gene expression was not detected in the control side. Experimental findings demonstrate that the in vivo bioluminescent imaging system can successfully monitor the fluorogene modified adipose tissue derived stem cells that are implanted into the rat Achilles tendon, and adipose tissue derived stem cells are a potential seed cells in tendon tissue engineering.
