碱性成纤维细胞生长因子基因真核表达载体转染骨髓间充质干细胞移植治疗糖尿病

BACKGROUND:Existing studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can significantly improve islet function in diabetic rats to decrease excessively high blood glucose level, which may be related to the enhancement of differentiation ability of autologou pancreatic stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of basic fibroblast growth factor gene eukaryotic expression vector (PEGFP-C3-BFGF) transfection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in diabetic rats. METHODS:Recombinant adenovirus (Ad.aFGF) mediated PEGFP-C3-BFGF was transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and PEGFP-C3-BFGF expression was observed using fluorescence microscopy. Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, diabetes group, transplantation group, gene transfection group, with 20 rats in each group. After modeling, rats in different groups were given portal vein injection of normal saline, PBS, 1 mL of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell suspension, and 1 mL of PEGFP-C3-BFGF-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell suspension. RT-PCR method was used to detect mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases in pancreatic tissue of rats in each group. Blood glucose levels of rats were detected at 24 hours, 3, 7, 14, 21 days after transplantation. ELISA method was used to detect plasma insulin levels in rats. Pathological changes of the pancreas were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the fluorescence microscope, PEGFP-C3-BFGF transfected into cells after 48 hours showed significant specific red fluorescence. Two weeks after transplantation, matrix metalloproteinases mRNA expression was significantly increased in the diabetes group compared with the control group (P < 0.05), while it was decreased in the transplantation and gene transfection groups compared with the diabetes group (P < 0.05). After transplantation, the blood glucose levels in rats were ranked as follows: control group < gene transfection group < transplantation group < diabetes group (P < 0.05), and the plasma insulin levels in rats ranked as follows: control group > gene transfection group > transplantation group > diabetes group (P < 0.05). Pathological findings of the pancreas showed that the transplantation group was superior to the diabetes group, but inferior to the gene transfection group that was similar to the control group. All these findings indicate that PEGFP-C3-BFGF-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can improve blood glucose levels and stimulate insulin secretion in diabetic rats, which may improve the severity of diabetes mellitus by decreasing the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases.

骨髓间充质干细胞移植对糖尿病模型大鼠肾脏的保护作用

BACKGROUND:So far numerous theoretical studies have shown the treatment effect of stem cell transplantation for chronic complications of diabetes, while its treatment effects on diabetic nephropathy have not yet been confirmed in animal models. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on the kidney in rat models of diabetes. METHODS:Rats were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet for 4 weeks, and then were given injection of streptozotocin to establish type 2 diabetic rat models. At 2 days after modeling, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were injected via the tail vein (stem cell transplantation group). In the meanwhile, control and diabetes groups were established. At 21 days after cell transplantation, levels of glucose, triglyceride and insulin in the tail vein were detected. Additionally, morphological observations of kidney and pancreatic tissues were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of blood sugar, insulin and triglycerides in the diabetes group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Blood glucose and insulin levels in the stem cell transplantation group were significantly lower than those of the diabetes group (P < 0.05). In addition, mesangial area and glomerular volume in the stem cell transplantation group were significantly lower compared with the diabetes group (P < 0.05). These results confirm that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can reduce levels of blood glucose and serum insulin, contributing to the repair of damaged pancreas and kidney.

人脐血间充质干细胞移植联合神经节苷脂注射治疗脑性瘫痪

BACKGROUND:In recent years, some studies have demonstrated that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of injection of human umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside into rat lateral ventricles on neurological functional recovery from cerebral palsy. METHODS:Totally 60 cerebral palsy neonatal rats were delivered from pregnant rats which were modes were given intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide for 2 successive days on day 17 of gestation. Then those neonatal rats were randomly divided into five groups, including model group (n=10), sham transplantation group (n=10), stem cell transplantation group (n=18), ganglioside group (n=10) and combination group (n=12). Under stereotaxic instrument, umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells or ganglioside were injected into left lateral ventricles of the rat brain, respectively, and the sham transplantation group was given the same volume of phosphate buffered saline. Two rats from the stem cell transplantation group were put to death for immunofluorescence staining at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after transplantation, respectively, and two rats in the combination group were killed for immunofluorescence staining at 14 days. Besides, all rats were underwent neurologic evaluation at 28 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells could survive, migrate and differentiate, which mainly distributed in the lateral ventricle, hippocampus and cortex. At 14 days after transplantation, positive expressions of BrdU and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the stem cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the model group, the holding time significantly prolonged and foot error times significantly decreased in the latter three groups (P < 0.05), as well as in the combination group compared with the stem cell transplantation and ganglioside groups (P < 0.05). These results indicate that umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside can both improve neurological function of rats with cerebral palsy. Given that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vivo, the combined transplantation is preferred.     

脐血间充质干细胞移植修复急性肠缺血再灌注损伤

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can repair intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injuny by interfering inflammatory reactions after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion to protect intestinal barrier functions. In recent years, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells are gradually used as a substitute source of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells on acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells were induced, isolated in vitro and tracked by CM-DiI fluorescent labeling. Sixty-three Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into three groups: control group received normal saline enema, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury group with ethanol diluted trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid and transplantation group administrated with 1×10¹⁰/L umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension via the tail vein at 1 hour after trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid modeling. At 3 days after transplantation, colon tissues were removed in each group to observe pathological changes of the intestinal tract by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Besides, expression of leptin mRNA in the colon tissues and cyclooxygenase-2 in the mucosa were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Transplanted umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells distributed in the intestinal lymphoid tissue and among glandular epithelial cells, suggesting that these stem cells might be involved in the process of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury repair. Compared with the control group, intestinal injury in the injury group was significantly aggravated, and most intestinal epithelial cells shed; and the transplantation group appeared to have significantly reduced intestinal damage and significantly less cell shedding. Expression of leptin mRNA was significantly higher in the injury group than the transplantation group followed by the control group, and there were significant differences among the three groups (P < 0.05). Additionally, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the injury group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); compared with the injury group, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 was significantly lower in the transplantation group (P < 0.05). To conclude, leptin and cyclooxygenase-2 may be involved in acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation significantly lessens intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which provides an experimental basis for human treating acute intestinal ischemic injury.
