Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Taking effective measures for myocardial necrosis develops a trend in the clinical treatment of myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of 5-azacytidine combined with angiotensin II in the differentiation of mouse adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes.
METHODS: Twenty ICR mice aged 4 weeks old were used to isolate adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells using type I collagenase digestion method. Cell morphology was observed, cell proliferation was detected using MTT, and immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the expression of CD90, CD105, CD73 and CD45. Passage 4 adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured for 24 hours, then induced by 15 μmol/L 5-azacytidine or 
15 μmol/L 5-azacytidine plus 0.1 μmol/L angiotensin II for another 24 hours, and finally cultured in a complete medium. The expression of cTnT protein in myocardial cells was detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Primary adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells with small nuclei were spindle-shaped or starlike. After passage, the cells were increased in size, with uniform shape and regular arrangement. Passage 3 mouse adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells showed an S-shaped growth curve: days 1-3 was incubation period, the cells showed logarithmic growth at day 4, the cell growth reached the peak at days 5-7, and then entered stationary phase. The passage 4 cells were positive for CD90, CD105 and CD73, but negative for CD45. The expression of cTnT was significantly higher after cell induction with 5-azacytidine combined with angiotensin II than 5-azacytidine alone. In conclusion, the combined use of 5-azacytidine and angiotensin II is beneficial for the cardiomyocyte-like differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
