基质细胞衍生因子-1对神经干细胞的趋化作用

目的 观察基质细胞衍生因子-1(SDF-1)对神经干细胞(NSCs)迁移的影响.方法 由GFP转基因SD大鼠胚胎脑组织获取NSCs并进行传代培养,免疫细胞化学染色法检测SDF-1特异性受体CXCR4的表达,利用Blind-Well小室体外迁移体系观察不同浓度的SDF-1(0、1、10、50、100、500、1000μg/L)对NSCs定向迁移数量的影响,随后分别使用CXCR4激动剂和阻断剂处理NSCs,再次利用上述方法观察最适浓度SDF-1时NSCs的迁移.结果 成功分离培养得到能够稳定表达GFP的NSCs,且CXCR4在该种NSCs上有表达.体外趋化实验结果表明,SDF-1对NSCs有较强的趋化作用,随着SDF-1浓度的升高,发生迁移的细胞数量也随之增加,并于SDF-1浓度为500μg/L时达到最高峰;CXCR4特异性激动剂和阻断剂分别能够增强和减弱SDF-1对NSCs定向迁移的趋化作用.结论 SDF-1与其特异性受体CXCR4相互作用,能够对NSCs的定向迁移产生靶向性作用.

The chemotactic effects of stromal cell derived factor-1 on neural stem cells

Objective To investigate the effect of stromal cell derived factor-1 ( SDF-1) on the regulation of neural stem cells (NSCs) migration. Methods NSCs were obtained from the cerebral cortex of embryonic GFP transgenic rats. After cell cultured in vitro, CXCR4, specific receptor of SDF-1, was detected by fluorescence immunocytochemistry. Using Blind-Well chambers, the chemotactic effects of SDF-1 was investigated by counting the cells which had crossed 8μm pore membrane and adhered to the superficies inferia of the membrane when confronted with varying concentrations of SDF-1α (0, 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 μg/L) and the agonist or antagonist of CXCR4. Results Neurospheres were formed, which expressed GFP and were capable of differentiating into neurons (β-tubulin + ) and astrocytes (GFAP + ) in media without mitogens. Fluorescence immunocytochemistry showed that CXCR4 and Nestin were co-expressed in NSCs. SDF-1 showed great chemotaxis to NSCs, and the amount of cells migrating through the membrane in 500 μg/L SDF-1 group was more than that in other groups (P < 0. 05). The number of cells crossing the membrane could be augmented and diminished by the agonist and antagonist of CXCR4 respectively. Conclusion SDF-1 binding to its specific receptor CXCR4 was capable of inducing NSCs migrating directionally to the source of SDF-1.
