文题释义:
缺氧诱导因子1α:
是细胞对缺氧产生应答和适应的关键转录因子,由α和β亚基发生相互作用而被激活,其中α和β亚基均有不同的亚型。目前对缺氧诱导因子1α的研究最为广泛,由缺氧介导的生物学效应主要与缺氧诱导因子1α的活性相关。缺氧诱导因子1α与缺氧诱导因子1β形成异源二聚体后被活化并且稳定性增加,同时由辅助激活因子协同其向核内转位,继而通过与相应的缺氧反应原件结合,进一步调控与细胞扩增、凋亡以及血管生成等多种生物学作用相关的靶基因的表达。
Apelin/APJ:血管紧张素受体AT1相关的受体蛋白(putative receptor protein related to the angiotensin receptor AT1, APJ)是G蛋白耦联大家族中的一种跨膜蛋白,其结构与AT1相似。Apelin是APJ的内源性配体,与APJ构成apelin/APJ系统。Apelin及APJ在不同组织血管的内皮细胞中均有表达,在血管平滑肌细胞和心肌细胞中也有一定的表达,在参与心血管功能的调节,尤其是在心脏活动和血压调节方面具有重要作用。Apelin/APJ信号被证实与干细胞生存及心肌分化密切相关,其能够在心肌分化过程中呈持续性表达。

 

摘要
背景:
课题组前期研究显示心肌干细胞移植能够改善大鼠心肌梗死后心功能,但心肌干细胞在局部心肌梗死组织中的生存及心肌分化效率低下。
目的:体外实验观察缺氧预处理对心肌干细胞增殖和向心肌样细胞分化的影响并探讨HIF-1α/apelin/APJ通路在其中的作用。  
方法:体外培养的心肌干细胞分为缺氧组(体积分数为1% O2)和常氧组(体积分数为20% O2),培养24 h后,MTS 法检测两组细胞的增殖情况,Western blot检测缺氧诱导因子1α、apelin、APJ的表达;两组细胞用5-氮杂胞苷诱导分化24 h,再进行正常培养2周,Western blot检测缺氧诱导因子1α、apelin、APJ以及cTnT的表达;免疫荧光染色观察cTnT阳性的心肌样细胞的比例。
结果与结论:①与常氧组比较,缺氧组在培养24 h后的增殖率和A490值均显著增高(P < 0.01);②与常氧组比较,缺氧组在培养24 h和诱导分化2周后缺氧诱导因子1α、apelin和APJ的蛋白表达量均明显增高(P < 0.01);③与常氧组比较,缺氧组诱导分化2周后cTnT阳性的心肌样细胞的比例显著增加(P < 0.01),cTnT蛋白表达量明显增高(P < 0.01);④结果表明,缺氧预处理能够促进心肌干细胞的增殖和向心肌样细胞发生分化,此效应可能与缺氧诱导因子1α/apelin/APJ通路的激活相关。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Our previous studies demonstrated that cardiac stem cells (CSCs) transplantation could improve cardiac function in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the overall survival and cardiac differentiation of CSCs were low.  
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hypoxia preconditioning on CSCs proliferation and cardiogenic differentiation and the role of hypoxia induced factor-1alpha (HIF-1α)/apelin/putative receptor protein related to the angiotensin receptor AT1 (APJ) pathway in the procedure.
METHODS: Cells cultured in vitro experienced exposure to hypoxia (1% O2) for 24 hours. Cardiogenic differentiation was induced by using 5-azacytidine for another 24 hours. Then, cells were cultured in normal condition for 2 weeks. Normoxia (20% O2) was used as a negative control during the whole process. Cell proliferation was detected using MTS method and expressions of HIF-1α, apelin, cTnT and APJ were detected using western blot assay after 24 hours of preconditioning and 2 weeks after the induction of differentiation; the percentage of cTnT-positive cardiomyocyte-like cells was observed by immunofluorescence staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the normoxia group, the hypoxia group presented a higher proliferation rate and a higher absorbance value at 490 nm (P < 0.01); the protein expressions of HIF-1α, apelin and APJ were all enhanced after hypoxia exposure for 24 hours and 2 weeks after the induction of differentiation (P < 0.01); the percentage of cTnT-positive cells was greatly increased in the hypoxia group (P < 0.01), and the expression of cTnT was also significantly intensified (P < 0.01). To conclude, hypoxia preconditioning could promote the proliferation and cardiogenic differentiation of CSCs, and the activation of HIF-1α/Apelin/APJ pathway might be involved in this process.
