Small molecule compound combination and method for preparing chondrocytes by using cells induced to differentiate by small molecule compound combination
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of cell biology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, in particular to a small molecular compound combination and a method for preparing chondrocytes by using cells induced and differentiated by the small molecular compound combination.
Background
Articular cartilage covers the ends of the bone and provides shock absorption and lubrication to the glenoid fossa. Cartilage has a poor intrinsic healing capacity as an avascular, nonlymphoid and denervated tissue. Cartilage damage has caused major economic and social problems worldwide due to various diseases such as Osteoarthritis (OA) caused by trauma or cartilage defects that increase with age, and has now become the fourth leading cause of disability. It has been reported that about 9% of OA patients in the hip or knee joints in the united states aged 30 and older have annual medical costs of $ 286 million. Therefore, the safe and effective cartilage repair technology or material industry has great value. Autologous chondrocyte transplantation is a current method for repairing focal damage of articular cartilage, but the method causes new cartilage defect due to the need of tissue biopsy and collection of healthy chondrocytes. In addition, since the in vitro expansion of chondrocytes causes cell dedifferentiation, chondrocytes tend to form fibrotic cells, thereby forming fibrous cartilage tissue containing type I collagen, which is not conducive to repair of defective cartilage lesions. In recent years, research on the repair of cartilage damage using stem cells has been increasing, and currently, MSC has been identified as the most suitable cell for cartilage damage repair. However, MSCs have limitations such as a decrease in proliferation potency with the age of a patient, a limited number of cells obtained from a patient tissue, and the like, and thus have limited clinical applications. The theory of obtaining autologous hyaline chondrocytes by inducing pluripotent stem cells (ipscs) is feasible, but the safety problems of introducing foreign genes and forming teratoma risks in the technology are not solved at present.
A variety of differentiated cells such as skin fibroblasts have the advantages of abundant sources, easy acquisition and easy long-term mass amplification culture in vitro. At present, differentiated cells such as skin fibroblasts can be directly induced into functional cells of various types such as myoblasts, neurons, hepatocytes and osteoblasts by utilizing a cell transdifferentiation technology; or the pluripotent stem cells are induced firstly and then are further induced into corresponding functional cells in a targeted manner. The functional cells obtained by directly or indirectly inducing a specific differentiated cell such as a skin fibroblast by using the cell transdifferentiation technique as described above no longer maintain the molecular characteristics and functions of the source cell, but obtain the molecular characteristics and cellular functions typical of the corresponding target cell. Currently, the above-mentioned induced functional cells have been gradually applied to disease model research, clinical treatment research and tissue engineering research.
Traditional cellular transdifferentiation needs to be achieved by the introduction of specific exogenous genes, sometimes with the synergistic effect of corresponding small molecule compounds, cytokines or recombinant proteins. The literature has reported that a certain differentiated cell is induced into another functionally differentiated cell by using a specific exogenous gene. For example, the reports of transdifferentiation of dermal fibroblasts into osteoblasts having bone forming effect in vitro and in vivo by using BMP-2, BMP-7 and LMP3 alone or in synergistic effect have been reported in the literature. However, the introduction of exogenous genes has the risk of causing tumors, and may cause target cells to generate immunogenicity, so that the popularization and the application are difficult. In 2013, dunkokui reports that the transdifferentiation process of reprogramming mouse skin fibroblasts into nerve cells can be realized only by using small molecular compounds or combinations thereof, and confirms that the cell transdifferentiation technology has the advantages of short induction process, stable induction system, easiness in quality control, low cost, no tumorigenic risk caused by exogenous gene insertion, good safety and stability of obtained target cells, no immunogenicity, and potential clinical application value and industrial prospect. Thereafter, chinese patent application No. 201410075246.5 provides a method for inducing transdifferentiation of differentiated cells into neural stem cells and uses thereof. Specifically, the application relates to the use of a combination of Histone Deacetylase (HDACs) inhibitors, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) inhibitors and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway inhibitors to induce transdifferentiation of differentiated cells such as fibroblasts and epithelial cells into neural stem cells with good pluripotency and passaging stability under normal physiological hypoxic environment. The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201610213644.8 provides an induction medium for inducing the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes, a method and application thereof, wherein the induction medium comprises a basic medium and an induction small molecule combination, the induction small molecule combination is 6TCFOW or SCFOV, wherein 6 is E61541, T is phenylpropylamine, C is CHIR99021, F is forskolin, O is Dorsomorphin, W is IWR-1, S is SB431542, and V is valproic acid. The application can induce the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes by using the induction culture medium. Currently, the results of obtaining schwann cells (THOMA EC, et al, 2014), nerve cells (HU W, et al, 2015), islet cells (Sheng Ding, et al, 2015) by using simple small molecule compounds or their combinations to induce human differentiated cells such as skin fibroblasts have been reported successively.
Because human and mouse have about 25% of gene difference, the feasibility of applying the technical scheme of the patent application successfully obtained in the mouse cell experiment to the transdifferentiation of human homogeneous cells is not high; on the other hand, since the specific theoretical basis and technical means for obtaining different target cells by inducing the transdifferentiation of the same cell type are different, the applicant has repeatedly tested the above reported technical schemes, and has failed to successfully apply the transdifferentiation technical scheme applied to the mouse cell to the transdifferentiation of the same cell type of the human, or to induce the transdifferentiation of the human differentiated cell into the chondrocyte.
