摘要:



文题释义:
髓源性抑制细胞:起源于骨髓的一类免疫细胞群体,具有免疫抑制功能,广泛参与炎症调节、组织损伤修复等过程。
骨质疏松症:一种以骨密度降低和骨结构破坏为特征的骨代谢性疾病,常见于老龄人群或雌激素缺乏状态。

背景:近年来的研究发现,免疫细胞在骨代谢中发挥重要作用,髓源性抑制细胞作为一类免疫抑制细胞在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用,但它在原发性骨质疏松症中的作用尚不明确。
目的:探讨自然衰老及卵巢摘除骨质疏松症小鼠模型中髓源性抑制细胞的破骨分化潜力。
方法:①分离提取6-8周龄雌性C57BL/6小鼠髓源性抑制细胞与骨髓源性巨噬细胞,将两种细胞进行破骨诱导分化,破骨诱导5 d后,抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色检测破骨细胞形成;破骨诱导3 d后,qRT-PCR检测活化T细胞核因子1、破骨细胞相关免疫球蛋白样受体基因mRNA表达。②取6-8周龄雌性C57BL/6小鼠(年轻组,n=6)与18月龄雌性C57BL/6小鼠(自然衰老组,n=6),通过Micro-CT分析股骨远端骨微结构;收集两组小鼠骨髓细胞,流式细胞术检测髓源性抑制细胞比例;分离提取两组小鼠髓源性抑制细胞,进行破骨诱导分化,破骨诱导5 d后,抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色检测破骨细胞形成;破骨诱导3 d后,qRT-PCR检测活化T细胞核因子1、破骨细胞相关免疫球蛋白样受体基因的mRNA表达。③将6-8周龄雌性C57BL/6小鼠随机分为假手术组(n=6)、卵巢摘除组(n=6),卵巢摘除8周后,通过Micro-CT分析股骨远端骨微结构;收集两组小鼠骨髓细胞,流式细胞术检测髓源性抑制细胞比例;ELISA法检测血清中肿瘤坏死因子α与白细胞介素6水平;分离提取两组小鼠髓源性抑制细胞,进行破骨诱导分化,破骨诱导5 d后,抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色检测破骨细胞形成;破骨诱导3 d后,qRT-PCR检测活化T细胞核因子1、破骨细胞相关免疫球蛋白样受体基因的mRNA表达。
结果与结论:①抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色与qRT-PCR检测显示,髓源性抑制细胞的破骨分化能力强于骨髓源性巨噬细胞。②Micro-CT分析显示,相较于年轻组,自然衰老组小鼠的骨密度、骨体积分数及骨小梁数量降低(P < 0.05),骨小梁分离度增加(P < 0.05);自然衰老组髓源性抑制细胞比例高于年轻组(P < 0.05);抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色与qRT-PCR检测显示,自然衰老组髓源性抑制细胞的破骨分化能力强于年轻组。③Micro-CT分析显示,相较于假手术组,卵巢摘除组小鼠骨密度、骨体积分数及骨小梁数量降低(P < 0.05),骨小梁分离度增加(P < 0.05);卵巢摘除组髓源性抑制细胞比例以及血清中肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素6水平均高于假手术组(P < 0.05);抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶染色与qRT-PCR检测显示,卵巢摘除组髓源性抑制细胞的破骨分化能力强于假手术组。④结果表明,髓源性抑制细胞在自然衰老及雌激素缺乏状态下的比例增加、破骨能力增强,可能参与骨质疏松症的发生与发展。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Recent studies have found that immune cells play an important role in bone metabolism. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells, as a type of immunosuppressive cell, play a significant role in tumor development, but their role in primary osteoporosis remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the osteoclastogenic potential of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in naturally aged and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mouse models.
METHODS: (1) Myeloid-derived suppressor cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated from 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice. Both cell types were induced for osteoclast differentiation. After 5 days of induction, osteoclast formation was detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. After 3 days of induction, mRNA expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 and osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor was detected by qRT-PCR. (2) 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice (young group, n=6) and 18-month-old female C57BL/6 mice (naturally aged group, n=6) were taken. Bone microstructure of the distal femur was analyzed by Micro-CT. Bone marrow cells were collected from both groups, and the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells was detected by flow cytometry. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells were isolated from both groups and induced for osteoclast differentiation. After 5 days of induction, osteoclast formation was detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. After 3 days of induction, mRNA expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 and osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor was detected by qRT-PCR. (3) 6-8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a sham-operated group (n=6) and an ovariectomized group (n=6). Eight weeks after ovariectomy, bone microstructure of the distal femur was analyzed by Micro-CT. Bone marrow cells were collected from both groups, and the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells was detected by flow cytometry. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 were detected by ELISA. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells were isolated from both groups and induced for osteoclast differentiation. After 5 days of induction, osteoclast formation was detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. After 3 days of induction, mRNA expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 and osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor was detected by qRT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and qRT-PCR showed that the osteoclastogenic potential of myeloid-derived suppressor cells was stronger than that of bone marrow-derived macrophages. (2) Micro-CT analysis showed that compared with the young group, the naturally aged group had a lower bone mineral density, bone volume fraction, and trabecular number (P < 0.05), and higher trabecular separation (P < 0.05). The proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the naturally aged group was higher than that in the young group (P < 0.05). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and qRT-PCR showed that the osteoclastogenic potential of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the naturally aged group was stronger than that in the young group. (3) Micro-CT analysis showed that compared with the sham-operated group, the ovariectomized group had lower bone mineral density, bone volume fraction, and trabecular number (P < 0.05), and higher trabecular separation (P < 0.05). The proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in the ovariectomized group were higher than those in the sham-operated group (P < 0.05). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and qRT-PCR showed that the osteoclastogenic potential of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the ovariectomized group was stronger than that in the sham-operated group. These findings indicate that the increased proportion and enhanced osteoclastogenic potential of myeloid-derived suppressor cells under natural aging and estrogen-deficient conditions may be involved in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis.

Key words: osteoporosis, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, osteoclast activation, naturally aged mice, ovariectomy, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, inflammatory cytokines
