新生大鼠胰腺nestin阳性细胞的体外分离、培养和分化的研究

目的探索新生大鼠胰腺nestin阳性细胞体外分离、培养并使之形成类胰岛样细胞团的方法。方法应用胶原酶消化新生大鼠胰腺,将消化的组织碎片培养形成类胰岛样细胞团后传代。免疫荧光细胞化学法检测贴壁细胞胰岛素、胰高血糖素及nestin的表达。RT-PCR检测培养1周的贴壁细胞nestin及细胞角蛋白(CK19)的表达。结果在pH 7．6条件下培养24-36 h有部分细胞贴壁生长,改用pH 7．4无血清RPMI 1640培养液培养18-24 d可形成类胰岛样细胞团,传代后可有单层细胞生长。培养24～36 h的贴壁细胞nestin呈阳性,但胰岛素、胰高血糖素阴性,形成的类胰岛样细胞团传代后24 h胰岛素、胰高血糖素呈阳性。培养1周的单层细胞经RT-PCR扩增获得nestin 片段,但未获得CK19相应的片段。结论类胰岛样细胞团传代培养后可表达胰岛素、胰高血糖素; 胰腺nestin阳性细胞具有胰岛干细胞的特点。

In vitro isolation, culture and differentiation of nestin positive cells in the pancreas of newborn rats

Objective To explore the isolation, culture of nestin positive cells of the pancreas in newborn rats. Methods The whole pancreas of neonatal rats were digested with collagenase, followed by incubation under pH 7. 6 serum RPMI 1640 for 24 - 36 h and then under pH 7. 4 serum free RPMI 1640 (bFGF.EGF 20 ng/ml.1% N2) for 18-24 d. The expression of insulin.glucagon and nestin were detected by immunofluorescence technique. Nestin.CK19 were detected by RT-PCR. Resides Cells attached to the surface of plates after 24 h incubation under pH 7. 6 condition, and islet-like masses were obtained after 18 -24 d incubation. A monolayer of cells grew out after 24 h of passage of islet-like masses. Nestin positive cells was detected after 24 - 36 h incubation, with no expression of insulin and glucagon. Positive cells of insulin and glucagon were detected in islet-like masses after 24 h passage. Nestin positive cells were detected by RT-PCR in islet-like masses after 24 h passage, but no CK19. Conclusion Insulin and glucagon were expressed in islet-like masses after passage. Nestin positive cells in the pancreas of neonatal rats possessed character of islet stem cells.
