Example 2 in vitro overexpression of miR-20a promotes DRG neuronal axon growth
Extraction of primary DRG neuronal cells
DRG neurons were obtained from adult male rats, dorsal root ganglia were removed and placed in dissecting fluid HA, digested with appropriate amount of collagenase 3.3mg/ml, at 37 deg.C for 90 min. Discarding collagenase, adding appropriate amount of 0.25% pancreatin for digestion at 37 deg.C for about 20 min.
Pancreatin was stopped with PBS containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and the supernatant was discarded after centrifugation. To remove the contaminating glial cells, the cells were suspended with 15% bovine serum albumin and centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. Cells were resuspended in neuronal medium, screened through a 200 mesh screen, and plated into wells coated with polylysine.
Second, transient electrocution of neuronal cells
The digested DRG neuronal cells were suspended in Rat Neuron nuclear emission Solution (Lonza), 1. mu.g of a green fluorescent plasmid (pmax GFP) was added to the cell suspension, as well as miR-20a mimics and a negative control (20 nM concentration, Campylobacter, Guangzhou), and after mixing, the cells were inserted into a Lonza AMAXA Lonza Nuclear emission II nuclear transfectator (Lonza), and the G-013 Nerons Rat DRG program was selected to initiate transient electrotransformation. After completion, low calcium HA was added to equilibrate and plated into the wells. After 4 h of culture, the medium was changed to normal medium.
Third, cellular immunofluorescent staining and axon growth length measurement
After 72 h of DRG neuron cell electrotransformation, the cell culture medium was discarded, rinsed once with PBS, and fixed for 30 min with 4% paraformaldehyde. After discarding paraformaldehyde, the PBS was washed three times for 5min each. Adding immunohistochemical blocking solution, and blocking at room temperature for 1 hr. Primary anti-Tuj1 antibody (1: 200, Sigma) was diluted with immunohistochemical primary antibody diluent and added overnight at 4 ℃. Primary antibody was discarded and washed 3 times with PBS for 5min each. The fluorescent secondary antibody Cy3 sheepanti-rabbitIgG (1: 400, Sigma) was diluted with an immunohistochemical secondary antibody diluent, and after addition of the secondary antibody, it was protected from light for 2 hours at room temperature. The secondary antibody was discarded and washed 3 times with PBS for 5min each time. Hoechest was diluted with PBS and, after addition, 10 min at room temperature. Hoechest was discarded and washed 3 times with PBS for 5min each time. Adding a proper amount of fluorescent mounting solution, observing by a ZEISS (zero-electron fluorescence microscope) under a positive fluorescent microscope, and taking a picture. And observing the growth condition of the protrusions, photographing and counting the longest protrusion length of each group and the distribution of the protrusion length of each group.
The result is shown in figure 2, and the miR-20a (miR-20a mimics) is over-expressed to remarkably promote the growth of DRG neuron axons. FIG. 2A is a staining diagram of cell immunohistochemistry after DRG neurons were cultured in vitro for 72 h in cotransfer of green fluorescent plasmid (pmax GFP) and control (negative control) or miR-20amimics, and it can be seen that the DRG neurons in vitro overexpress miR-20a and increase the axon growth length. Tuj1 in FIG. 2A labels neuronal axons, GFP labels neuronal cells transfected with miR-20amimics or its control. Neuronal cells co-targeted with Tuj1 and GFP were selected for subsequent neuronal axonal growth statistics. FIG. 2B is a graph showing the axon length distribution of all neurons measured after in vitro DRG neurons were transfected with control and miR-20a mimics; the longest axon lengths of all neurons were counted and grouped by 0-100 μm, 100-200 μm, 200-300 μm, 300-400 μm, 400-500 μm, 500-600 μm, 600-700 μm and 700 μm or more. After miR-20a is transfected, the length of axon growth is biased to be distributed in a long interval, and the fact that in vitro DRG neurons over-express miR-20a can promote axon growth is shown. FIG. 2C is a statistical plot of the mean of the longest axons of all neurons after in vitro DRG neurons were transfected with control and miR-20a mimics. P <0.05, P < 0.001; as can be seen, the average value of the longest axon length of the neurons is obviously increased after the DRG neurons overexpress miR-20a in vitro, which indicates that miR-20a can promote axon growth.
Example 3 in vivo overexpression of miR-20a promotes DRG neuronal axon growth
Adult healthy male rats were selected, anesthetized with a compound anesthetic, and then the backs of the rats were shaved, sterilized with iodophor, the skin was cut, the muscles were cut at the iliac bones to expose the spinal column at L5, 30 μ L of control or a chemomimetic agomir of Cy 3-labeled miR-20a was injected with a BD needle tube, and then the muscles and the skin were sutured. Rats were kept in the appropriate environment with free access to food and water and light exposure for 12 h per day. A second injection was given 48 h later, as was the first. Sciatic nerve injury was performed over 72 hours (sciatic nerve injury model was prepared in the same manner as in example 1), left lateral peri-lateral leg rat hair was shaved with a razor, skin was cut after iodophor sterilization, and muscle was further cut to expose the left sciatic nerve. The upper end of the bifurcation is generally selected as a clamping position, the width of the clamping wound is 2 mm, the width of the clamping wound is 30s, and the whole tooth is formed. After the operation is completed, the muscle and the skin are sutured. Fixation with paraformaldehyde was performed at 96 h post-injury, sciatic nerve was taken, frozen sections and immunohistochemistry, primary anti-Tuj1 antibody (1: 200, Sigma) and SCG10 (1: 100, Proteintetech), secondary antibodies Cy3 sheet anti-rabbitIgG (1: 400, Sigma) and FITOAT anti-mouse IgG (1: 200, Sigma), and observed under a microscope and photographed.
The results are shown in figure 3, and it can be seen that miR-20a can promote the regeneration of damaged nerves in vivo. Specifically, as can be seen from FIG. 3A, the length of SCG-labeled regenerated axons of the experimental group injected with miR-20a agomir was significantly longer than that of the control group injected with agomir control, in which SCG10 labeled regenerated axons and Tuj1 labeled all axons. As can be seen from the statistical graph of the regeneration length of sciatic nerve in rats in FIG. 3B, the sciatic nerve length in rats injected intrathecally with miR-20a is significantly longer than that in rats of negative control (contorl), confirming that miR-20a can promote the regeneration of injured nerve in vivo. As can be seen from the fluorescence intensity statistical chart in FIG. 3C, after miR-20a is overexpressed, the fluorescence intensity of axons at the same distance is also superior to that of a control group, which indicates that the number of regenerated axons is more than that of the control group, and the axon regeneration of damaged neurons can be promoted by overexpression of miR-20a in vivo.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
