摘要:

文题释义:

胶质细胞源性神经营养因子:作为轴突再生的一种重要神经营养因子,可诱导间充质干细胞向神经样细胞分化并对中枢神经系统退行性疾病、脊髓损伤后神经功能恢复起到重要作用。

突触素:作为突触的特异性蛋白是突触形成过程中最重要的标志物,主要位于神经元胞体及轴突,可调节神经元轴突延伸,参与突触囊泡的介导转运、神经递质释放,对促进脊髓损伤后神经功能恢复起到重要作用。

背景:胶质细胞神经营养因子(glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor,GDNF)在诱导骨髓间充质干细胞(bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,BMSCs)体外定向分化及促进脊髓损伤大鼠神经功能恢复过程中起到重要作用。

目的:观察过表达GDNF基因的BMSCs分化情况及其促进脊髓损伤大鼠神经功能恢复的潜在分子机制。

方法:①以重组目的基因腺病毒转染BMSCs并分为Ad-GDNF-GFP转染组、Ad-GFP转染组、未转染组,免疫荧光鉴定各组细胞神经元特异性烯醇化酶及微管相关蛋白2的表达,Western blot检测各组细胞GDNF、Wnt3a、Wnt7a蛋白表达。②以改良Allen法制备大鼠脊髓损伤模型,将造模成功的45只SD大鼠随机分为3组,分别以过表达GDNF基因BMSCs(GDNF-BMSCs)、BMSCs、PBS移植至脊髓损伤局部。移植后4周采用BBB评分法评估大鼠运动功能恢复情况,苏木精-伊红染色观察脊髓形态变化,免疫组化检测损伤局部神经元特异性烯醇化酶、突触素Ⅰ及胶质纤维酸性蛋白表达,Western blot检测损伤局部Bcl-2、肿瘤坏死因子α蛋白表达。

结果与结论:①Ad-GDNF-GFP转染组BMSCs可向神经元样细胞形态转变并表达神经元特异性烯醇化酶、微管相关蛋白2;Wnt3a、Wnt7a蛋白表达量显著高于Ad-GFP转染组、未转染组;②移植后4周,GDNF-BMSCs移植组大鼠BBB评分明显提高、脊髓空洞面积显著缩小。GDNF-BMSCs移植组脊髓损伤局部胶质纤维酸性蛋白、肿瘤坏死因子α表达量显著低于BMSCs移植组及PBS移植组,而神经元特异性烯醇化酶、突触素Ⅰ及Bcl-2表达量显著高于BMSCs移植组、PBS移植组;③结果表明,Wnt信号通路参与过表达GDNF基因

BMSCs向成熟神经元分化过程,移植后通过降低脊髓损伤局部炎症反应、减少细胞凋亡及胶质瘢痕形成、促进轴突再生,提高BMSCs移植治疗脊髓损伤的疗效。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in inducing differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro and promoting neurological function recovery in rats with spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE: To observe potential molecular mechanisms of differentiation of BMSCs overexpressing GDNF gene and promoting neurological function recovery after spinal cord injury in rats.

METHODS: (1) BMSCs transfected with recombinant target gene adenovirus were divided into Ad-GDNF-GFP transfection group, Ad-GFP transfection group and non-transfection group. Microtubule-associated protein 2 and neuron-specific enolase expression levels were detected by immunofluorescence in each group. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of GDNF, Wnt3a and Wnt7a protein in each group. (2) The rat spinal cord injury model was prepared by modified Allen method. The 45 Sprague-Dawley rat models were randomly divided into three groups. GDNF-BMSCs, BMSCs and PBS were transplanted into the site of spinal cord injury. The motor function recovery of rats was evaluated 4 weeks after operation. The morphological changes of spinal cord were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The local neuron-specific enolase, Synapsin I and glial fibrillary acidic protein were analyzed with immunohistochemistry. The expression levels of Bcl-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α protein were detected by western blot assay.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) BMSCs overexpressing GDNF gene could differentiate into neuron-like cells and express neuron-specific enolase and microtubule-associated protein 2 in vitro in the Ad-GDNF-GFP transfection group. The expression of Wnt3a and Wnt7a protein was significantly higher in the Ad-GDNF-GFP transfection group than in the Ad-GFP transfection group and non-transfection group. (2) The Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan score in GDNF-BMSCs group was significantly increased and the stenosis area was significantly reduced at 4 weeks after transplantation. The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and tumor necrosis factor-α in GDNF-BMSCs group was significantly lower than that in BMSCs and PBS transplantation groups, but the expression levels of neuron-specific enolase, Synapsin I and Bcl-2 were significantly higher than those in the BMSCs and PBS transplantation groups. (3) Wnt signaling pathway participates in the procession of differentiating into mature neurons derived from BMSCs overexpressing GDNF gene. After transplantation, the effects of BMSCs transplantation on spinal cord injury were improved by decreasing local inflammatory reaction, apoptosis and glial scar formation and promoting axonal regeneration.
