Application of NUDT12 gene in promoting growth and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of stem cells, in particular to application of an NUDT12 gene in promoting growth and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Background
With the development and maturation of molecular biology theory and technology, the application of tissue engineering to repair tissue defects has become a widely accepted development direction for scholars at home and abroad, wherein the selection of seed cells is the precondition and the key of tissue engineering. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells are discovered in 2001, are rather rapid adult stem cells researched in recent years, are derived from mesoderm, and experiments prove that the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have the potential of differentiating towards bones, cartilages, neurons, tendons, fat and the like, have high in-vivo content and high multiplication speed, have small damage to organisms due to primary material drawing, gradually replace bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells with large trauma to the organisms, and are expected to become ideal seed cells in tissue engineering. The adipose-derived stem cells are easily obtained, can be obtained by a simple liposuction method, are sufficient in supply, can be repeatedly obtained, are less in damage and do not cause moral debate. The process of obtaining the stem cells by the liposuction method can also have a certain treatment effect on obesity and can also achieve the aims of beautifying and body building; in addition, since adipose-derived stem cells are rapidly proliferated, they are one of excellent seed cells for tissue engineering, and they are expected to be widely used in research and treatment in bone tissue engineering, adipose tissue engineering, repair of cartilage and muscle injuries, plastic surgery, etc. by being combined with a suitable three-dimensional biomaterial.
In recent years, with the development of stem cell biology and the study of molecular mechanisms of neurogenesis in adults, cell replacement therapy has drawn attention from researchers because it has the potential to cure neurodegenerative diseases. The adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have rich reserves in vivo and convenient acquisition, and become a research hotspot for treating neurodegenerative diseases by the stem cells.
The differentiation of ADSCs towards the nerve direction is carried out by the common method which comprises (1) the culture of nerve induction culture medium; (2) co-culturing; (3) gene transfection; (4) and (4) electrically stimulating. The induction culture of the nerve induction culture medium adopts a direct induction differentiation or step induction differentiation method, namely, the ADSCs are firstly trans-differentiated into Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) and then are differentiated towards the nerve cells. The culture medium is widely used for adding growth factors, and hormone proteins, small molecular compounds and the like are also added. Razavi et al first induced human ADSCs into neurotrophic factor-secreting cells, then made into cell microcapsules, co-cultured with neurospheres induced by human ADSCs at a ratio of 1:1, and finally the MAP2 and nestin expressed by the induced cells are significantly increased, while GFAP is decreased, indicating that co-culturing human ADSCs and neurotrophic factor-secreting cells promotes differentiation toward neurons, and the promotion is achieved by secreting neurotrophic factor-secreting cells BDNF, neurotrophic factors (NGF), ciliary neurotrophic factors (CNTF) and the like. In addition to adding various cytokines, hormones and small molecular compounds into a nerve culture medium or co-culturing ADSCs and cells with secretion functions to promote differentiation in the nerve direction, researchers also adopt a gene transfection technology to transfer BDNF and neurotrophic factor-3 (neurotropin-3) into adipose mesenchymal stem cells of SD rats through lentiviruses and induce the cells through the nerve culture medium, so that the amount of expressed NSE genes is increased.
CN105567637A discloses that human adipose-derived stem cells are induced and differentiated into motor neuron cells by adopting SHH and RA together, and the obtained motor neuron cells are characterized by specific nerve cell marker protein; the specific nerve cell marker proteins are HB9 and Oligo 2; and simultaneously, identifying the obtained motor neuron cells by utilizing the electrophysiological function.
However, although the induction mode of the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells towards the nerve direction is various and the method is numerous, there is still room for further improvement.
