文题释义:
长链非编码RNA(long non-coding RNA,lncRNA):
是一类转录本长度超过200个核苷酸的功能性RNA分子,其能够从不同层面实现对基因表达的调节。lncRNAs被证实在心脏发育和心血管疾病的病理生理过程中扮演重要角色,其参与了心脏稳态的维持和再生。lncRNA在干细胞的自我更新及谱系分化中具有明确的调控作用,现阶段一些与心脏谱系特异性密切相关的lncRNAs已相继被报道。
lncRNA-Bvht:是Klattenhoff 等在小鼠胚胎向心脏发育过程中发现的一种新型 lncRNA分子,它在胚胎时期的心血管谱系定向分化中发挥着重要的调控作用。lncRNA-Bvht能够通过上调心脏转录因子及心肌细胞分化相关基因的表达而促进心血管祖细胞向心肌细胞分化。

 

摘要
背景:
课题组前期研究发现骨髓间充质干细胞移植能够改善大鼠心肌梗死后心功能,但整体效果并不太理想,骨髓间充质干细胞在体内局部梗死微环境中的分化效率低下,其向心肌细胞分化的能力极其有限。
目的:采用lncRNA-Bvht体外转染骨髓间充质干细胞,观察其对骨髓间充质干细胞向心肌样细胞分化的影响。
方法:构建含lncRNA-Bvht的病毒载体pLVX-IRES-ZsGreen1-lncRNA-Bvht,对骨髓间充质干细胞进行lncRNA-Bvht转染并检测转染效率。分离培养C57BL/6小鼠的骨髓间充质干细胞,并将第3代细胞分为3组:骨髓间充质干细胞组、空载体组和lncRNA-Bvht组。各组细胞培养48 h后用5-氮杂胞苷进行诱导分化24 h再进行正常培养2周,荧光显微镜观察骨髓间充质干细胞向心肌细胞分化情况,免疫荧光染色、Western blot、qRT-PCR检测心肌分化标记物肌钙蛋白T和肌节蛋白的表达。
结果与结论:①诱导分化后细胞形态发生改变,细胞之间形成连接,排列方向趋于一致;②免疫荧光检测结果显示lncRNA-Bvht组肌钙蛋白T和肌节蛋白表达呈现强阳性;肌钙蛋白T阳性细胞的比例显著增加;③qRT-PCR和Western blot检测结果显示lncRNA-Bvht组肌钙蛋白T和肌节蛋白的表达较空载体组和骨髓间充质干细胞组均明显升高(P < 0.01);④结果提示,lncRNA-Bvht转染能够有效促进骨髓间充质干细胞在体外向心肌样细胞发生分化。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Our previous work demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation could improve cardiac function in rats with myocardial infarction. However, the overall efficacy was unsatisfactory, and there was a low efficiency of BMSCs differentiating into cardiomyocytes in the local infarct myocardium.
OBJECTIVE: To transfect long non-coding RNA-Braveheart (lncRNA-Bvht) into BMSCs in order to observe whether it could promote cardiomyocyte differentiation of BMSCs in vitro.
METHODS: pLVX-IRES-ZsGreen1-lncRNA-Bvht vector was constructed and applied to transfect lncRNA-Bvht into bMSCs, and then, the transfection efficiency was detected. BMSCs were obtained from C57BL/6 mice and cultured in vitro. Passage 3 cells were divided into three groups: BMSCs group, null vector group and lncRNA-Bvht group. All cells in the three groups were cultured in the normal condition for 48 hours and cardiomyocytes differentiation was induced by 5-azacytidine for another 24 hours followed by 2-week culture under normal conditions. Cardiomyocyte differentiation of BMSCs was observed under fluorescence microscopy and expression of cardiac specific cell markers including troponin T and myosin were examined using immunofluorescent staining, western blot assay, and qRT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cell morphological changes could be observed in all the groups 2 weeks after the induction. Interconnected cells arranged consistently in all the three groups. Immunofluorescent staining results showed that the expression of troponin T and myosin was notably positive, and the proportion of troponin T positive cells was significantly increased. qRT-PCR and western blot assay results indicated that there were significantly increased levels of troponin T and myosin in the lncRNA-Bvht group as compared with the BMSCs and null vector groups (P < 0.01), suggesting that lncRNA-Bvht could efficiently promote cardiomyocyte differentiation of BMSCs in vitro.
