摘要:

背景:慢性腱病是一种常见的肌腱退行性病变,好发于运动员以及肌腱过度劳损的人群。由于慢性腱病的发病机制尚未阐明,临床上还缺乏有效的治疗手段。

 

目的:体外研究比较慢性腱病大鼠和正常大鼠来源肌腱干细胞成脂、成肌腱分化能力。

 

方法:从慢性腱病大鼠以及正常大鼠髌腱中分离培养原代肌腱干细胞,传代培养至第3代,体外观察细胞形态学变化。将两种来源肌腱干细胞(P3)单层培养至细胞融合,分为2组,成脂诱导组用成脂诱导培养基培养,对照组用基础培养基培养。成脂诱导分化21 d后,将两种来源肌腱干细胞的成脂诱导组和对照组分别行油红O染色定量分析。实时荧光定量PCR检测各组细胞成脂性基因C/EBPα和PPARγ2的mRNA的表达。将两种来源的肌腱干细胞体外单层培养至70%-80%融合时,行实时荧光定量PCR检测慢性腱病来源肌腱干细胞以及正常肌腱干细胞成肌腱相关基因Col1a1,Scx,Tnmd和Dcn的mRNA的表达。

 

结果与结论:肌腱干细胞体外培养至第3代时,正常肌腱来源的肌腱干细胞保持细长纺锤形的典型的干细胞形态,而慢性腱病来源的肌腱干细胞虽然形态发生改变,但仍保持纺锤形形态。肌腱干细胞(P3)体外成脂诱导分化21 d后,慢性腱病来源的肌腱干细胞胞体变大、变圆,可见大量油红O染色阳性的细胞,油红O染色阳性率显著高于正常大鼠(P =0.004)。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,慢性腱病大鼠来源肌腱干细胞的成脂性基因(C/EBPα和PPARγ2)mRNA的表达均显著高于正常大鼠(P =0.004),肌腱特异性基因Col1a1,Scx,Tnmd以及Dcn mRNA表达量均明显低于正常大鼠(P =0.009)。说明与正常大鼠来源的肌腱干细胞相比,慢性腱病来源的肌腱干细胞体外成肌腱分化的能力减弱,而成脂分化的能力增强,此结果为进一步揭示慢性腱病发病机制提供了细胞生物学依据。

Abstract:

 BACKGROUND: Chronic tendinopathy is a tendon disorder extremely common in athletes and in the general population with repetitive strain injuries of tendons. The pathogenesis of tendinopathy remains unclear and hence treatment of tendinopathy is usually palliative.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the of adipogenic and tenogenic ability of patellar tendon-derived stem cells isolated from chronic tendinopathy and healthy rats in vitro.
METHODS:Tendon-derived stem cells were isolated from patellar tendons of chronic tendinopathy and healthy rats respectively. The tendon-derived stem cells were cultured to the 3rd passage in complete culture medium, and cell morphology was observed. The cells were divided into adipogenic induction group and control group. Cells in the adipogenic induction group were cultured in adipogenic induction medium, while those in the control group cultured in complete culture medium. The ability of adipogenic differentiation between tendon-derived stem cells isolated from the tendon of chronic tendinopathy and healthy rats in vitro was examined by oil red O staining and quantification assay. The mRNA expressions of C/EBPα and PPARγ2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. When 70%-80% cells were confluent, the mRNA expressions of Col1a1, Scx, Tnmd and Dcn were also detected by real-time quantitative PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the third passage, slender spindle-shaped cells were seen in both two groups, but there was a little change in the cell morphology in the chronic tendinopathy group. Lipid droplets were formed after the cells were cultured in adipogenic induction medium for 21 days. This was not observed in the control group. We observed more oil red O-positive oil droplets in tendon-derived stem cells from the tendons of chronic tendinopathy rats than healthy rats. The difference between them was statistically significant (P=0.004). The results of real-time quantitative PCR showed that the mRNA expressions of C/EBPα and PPARγ2 in the tendon-derived stem cells from the tendons of chronic tendinopathy rats were significantly higher than those in tendon-derived stem cells from the tendons of healthy rats (P=0.004); the mRNA expressions of Col1a1, Scx, Tnmd and Dcn in the tendon-derived stem cells from the tendons of chronic tendinopathy rats were significantly lower than those in tendon-derived stem cells from the tendons of healthy rats (P=0.009). In conclusion, tendon-derived stem cells from chronic tendinopathy rats showed a higher ability of adipogenic differentiation, but a lower capacity of tenogenic differentiation compared to tendon-derived stem cells from healthy rats, which might contribute to better understand the pathogenesis of tendinopathy.
