文题释义:
干细胞恶性转化:
干细胞可能是多种缺陷和疾病的理想治疗方案,这将在可以预见的未来中发挥其远大的应用前景。但是安全性目前仍有待检验,在临床应用前,必须首先解决其安全性问题。而干细胞恶性转化是其临床应用第一大障碍,在临床应用前找到对其恶性转化的有效监测方法是目前亟需解决的问题。实验主要探讨采用荧光定量RT-PCR进行批量检测的可行性。
DNA甲基化转移酶(DNA methyltransferase,DNMTs):DNA 甲基化主要由DNA甲基转移酶催化,根据N端蛋白结合区域的结构差异,可分为3类:DNMT1、DNMT2和DNMT3a和DNMT3b,以及最近报道的DNMT3L。其中发挥着最为重要作用的是DNMT1、DNMT3a、DNMT3b。DNMT家族表达的升高在癌症进展过程中可能起重要作用,导致了许多重要抑癌基因甲基化的异常。

 

摘要
背景:
根据体外培养的成体干细胞自发恶性转化现象及肿瘤干细胞理论,人脐带间充质干细胞在体外培养过程中可能产生变异,体内移植后可能存在致瘤性风险。因此,建立健全的体外安全性检测程序,将在干细胞临床应用上起积极推动作用。
目的:探讨人脐带间充质干细胞致瘤性机制及DNA甲基化转移酶的表达水平。
方法:采用组织块贴壁法分离、培养、扩增出人脐带间充质干细胞,利用3-甲基胆蒽促使人脐带间充质干细胞发生恶性转化,通过形态学观察,裸鼠成瘤实验进行验证,成瘤组织进行病理学鉴定、原代细胞培养,荧光定量PCR检测人脐带间充质干细胞与肿瘤细胞DNA甲基化转移酶表达水平的差异。
结果与结论:①人脐带间充质干细胞经3-甲基胆蒽处理后形成恶性转化细胞,呈恶性生长,细胞核型呈非整数倍体改变,注入裸鼠体内后能形成恶性肿物;②经荧光定量PCR检测,恶性转化后肿瘤细胞(实验组)相比二甲基亚砜培养人脐带间充质干细胞(对照组),其DNA甲基化转移酶的基因表达量明显增高;③结果表明,人脐带间充质干细胞在一定条件下能发生恶性转化,包括形态学变化及表观遗传学层面改变,DNA甲基化转移酶可作为预防干细胞移植后成瘤的进一步研究方向。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) may be mutated during in vitro culture based on the spontaneous malignant transformation of adult stem cells and tumor stem cell theory, and there may be a risk of tumorigenesis after in vivo transplantation. Therefore, to establish and perfect the in vitro safety testing procedures will actively promote the clinical application of stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the tumorigenic mechanism of hUC-MSCs and the expression level of DNA methyltransferase (DNMTs) in hUC-MSCs.
METHODS: Primary hUC-MSCs were isolated and expanded by tissue adherent culture. 3-Methycholanthrene was used to cause the malignant transformation in hUC-MSCs (experimental group), followed by morphological observation and tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice. Then, the tumor tissues were obtained and identified by pathological examination and primary cell culture, and the levels of DNMTs mRNA in hUC-MSCs treated with 3-methycholanthrene and dimethyl sulfoxide (control group) were detected by real-time RT-PCR and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: hUC-MSCs treated with 3-methycholanthrene led to malignant transformation, which showed malignant growth and non-integer ploidy changes in the cell nuclei, and formed a malignant tumor in immune-deficient mice after injection. Compared with the control group, the cells in the experimental group showed higher expression of DNMTs mRNA as detected by real-time RT-PCR. To conclude, hUC-MSCs can trigger malignant transformation in the morphology and the epigenetics under certain conditions. DNMTs can be a candidate for prevention against malignant transformation of transplanted stem cells.
