摘要:

文题释义:

Pluronic F-127:是一种聚氧化乙烯-聚氧化丙烯-聚氧化乙烯三嵌段共聚物,具有在低温下为液态、常温下为固态的特性,为温固化水凝胶,具有良好的生物相容性与生物可降解性。作为组织工程中的细胞支架,Pluronic F-127已被广泛应用于软骨与皮肤等的构建。

SOX9基因:在性别决定与分化过程中具有重要的作用,在胚胎发育过程中参与骨的形成,同时其也参与神经系统与胰腺的发育及肿瘤的发生。在骨骼形成过程中,SOX9通过与 DNA 特定区域结合促进间充质细胞的聚集:首先是在软骨前体细胞中,随后是在分化中的或成熟的前体细胞中表达,维持软骨细胞增殖,抑制其向肥大软骨细胞分化,因此SOX9在软骨形成过程中起着十分重要的作用。

背景:预实验显示,SOX9基因转染的骨髓间充质干细胞可在Pluronic F-127水凝胶内良好的生长与增殖,促进细胞外基质的分泌,增加软骨基质的表达。

目的:利用慢病毒基因诱导方式将SOX9基因转导至骨髓间充质干细胞中,将其与可注射Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合,观察Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合物修复软骨缺损的效果。

方法:利用慢病毒基因诱导方式将SOX9基因转导至骨髓间充质干细胞中,转染48 h后与Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合。取60只新西兰大白兔(武汉科技大学实验动物中心提供),建立右侧膝关节股骨髁软骨缺损模型,随机分3组处理:模型组缺损部位未植入任何材料,对照组植入未转染的骨髓间充质干细胞与Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合物,实验组植入SOX9基因转染的骨髓间充质干细胞与Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合物。术后4,12周取缺损部位组织,分别进行Micro-CT三维重建、苏木精-伊红染色、番红O染色、Ⅱ型胶原免疫组织化学染色与Wakitani软组织损伤修复组织学评分。实验获得武汉科技大学伦理委员会批准。

结果与结论:①术后12周Micro-CT三维重建显示,模型组缺损区域未见明显的修复,中央仍有较大的凹陷;对照组可见明显的修复,中央凹陷区域明显减小,可见较多的再生骨小梁结构;实验组缺损部位基本完成修复;②术后12周苏木精-伊红染色显示,模型组缺损区仍未见骨小梁结构,细胞分布紊乱,未见软骨陷窝;对照组可见较多的骨组织重建,缺损区域主要由软骨样组织与纤维组织填充;实验组骨组织重建较充分,缺损区域主要由软骨样细胞与软骨样细胞外基质填充,细胞呈柱状排列,与周围软骨相似;③术后12周番红O染色与Ⅱ型胶原免疫组织化学染色显示,模型组可见少量糖胺多糖表达,未见Ⅱ型胶原表达;对照组可见较多的糖胺多糖与Ⅱ型胶原表达,实验组糖胺多糖与Ⅱ型胶原表达最多;④实验组Wakitani软组织损伤修复组织学评分高于对照组与模型组(P < 0.05);⑤结果表明,负载SOX9基因转染骨髓间充质干细胞的Pluronic F-127水凝胶复合物可促进软骨缺损的修复。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Preliminary experiments show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with SOX9 gene can grow and proliferate in Pluronic F-127 hydrogel, promote the secretion of extracellular matrix, and increase the expression of cartilage matrix.

OBJECTIVE: The SOX9 gene was transduced into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by lentivirus gene induction, and then combined with injectable Pluronic F-127 hydrogel to observe the effect of Pluronic F-127 hydrogel on repairing cartilage defects.

METHODS: SOX9 gene was transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by lentivirus gene induction. After 48 hours of transfection, SOX9 gene was combined with Pluronic F-127 hydrogel. Sixty New Zealand white rabbits provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Wuhan University of Science and Technology were selected to establish the models of femoral condylar cartilage defect of the right knee joint. The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: model group without implantation of any material at the defect site, control group with implantation of non-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Pluronic F-127 hydrogel complex at the defect site, and experimental group with implantation of SOX9 gene-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Pluronic F-127 hydrogel complex at the defect site. Four and twelve weeks after operation, the defect tissues were taken for three-dimensional reconstruction of micro-CT, hematoxylin-eosin staining, Safranine O staining, type II collagen immunohistochemical staining and Wakitani soft tissue repair histological score. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Wuhan University of Science and Technology.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) At 12 weeks after operation, three-dimensional reconstruction of Micro-CT showed that there was no obvious repair in the defect area of the model group, and there was still a large depression in the center. In the control group, the central depression area was significantly reduced and more trabecular structures of regenerated bone were observed. In the experimental group, the defect area was basically repaired. (2) At 12 weeks after operation, hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that there was no trabecular bone structure, disordered cell distribution and no cartilage lacunae at the defect area of the model group. In the control group, more bone tissue was reconstructed, and the defect area was mainly filled with cartilage-like tissue and fibrous tissue. In the experimental group, bone tissue was reconstructed adequately, and the defect area was mainly filled with chondroid cells and chondroid extracellular matrix. Cells arranged columnarly, similar to the surrounding cartilage. (3) At 12 weeks after surgery, Safranine O staining and collagen II immunohistochemical staining results showed that a small amount of glycosaminoglycan was observed, but no type II collagen was found in the model group. The expression of glycosaminoglycan and type II collagen was more in the control group. The expression of glycosaminoglycan and type II collagen was highest in the experimental group compared with the other two groups. (4) The histological score of Wakitani soft tissue repair in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group and model group (P < 0.05). (5) The results suggested that Pluronic F-127 hydrogel complex loaded with SOX9 gene transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can promote the repair of cartilage defects.
