Description

Method and culture medium for chemically inducing cortical neurons
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of neuron induction, and particularly relates to a method and a culture medium for chemically inducing cortical neurons.
Background
Ectoderm is the outermost layer formed during embryo development, and as organogenesis begins, ectodermal cells gradually differentiate into important systems such as brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, etc. The nervous system is an important system responsible for thinking, emotion, perception, movement and other functions. Ectodermal cells are related to the occurrence of various degenerative diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases caused by aging and death of neurons, are common aging diseases at present, the treatment and nursing cost of the diseases is extremely high, and no specific medicine can be effectively treated in the market. Neurodegenerative diseases include Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), parkinson's Disease (PD), alzheimer's Disease (AD), and the like. The difficulty in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injuries is that the neural cells of the central nervous system are nonrenewable, and the scarcity of in vitro disease models is the limiting factor in basic research, and such diseases are caused by irreversible damage to the central nervous system. Neural cells include neural stem cells, mature neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, among other different neural cell types. Investigation of different cell types may reveal the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. Cell differentiation to study developmental processes is the basis for pathological studies. Knowledge of the genes that regulate stem cell differentiation will help to understand the cause of disease formation and develop corresponding disease treatment strategies by understanding the normal cellular differentiation and development processes. Taking cortical neural cells as an example, wherein the cerebral cortex covers the gray matter of the two hemispheres of the brain, which is the material basis for the activity of the higher nerve, is composed of neurons, nerve fibers and glia. Wherein the lesions and injuries of cortical neurons are related to cerebral stroke, epilepsy, and are important targeting targets for a variety of central nervous system diseases.
At present, traditional cell lines are mostly used for drug development in the related field, a rodent nerve cell line is used for drug screening, normal response of human beings to the drugs cannot be reflected, most of cortical cell lines in the current drug screening field are derived from primary rodent cells, and obvious species differences exist between mice and human beings, which is also one of reasons for deviation of drug screening; in addition, the source of the human cortical neuron cells is insufficient, the uniformity difference of the human neural stem cells of remains donation or embryo source is obvious, the limitation of ethical use is provided, and the industrial order requirement of high-flux screening can not be met; the factors greatly restrict the accuracy and efficiency of development of nervous system medicaments.
In 2006, the mountain stretch team invented a "cocktail" method consisting of four transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-Myc, which was able to successfully reprogram terminally differentiated skin fibroblasts into stem cells with a differentiation multipotency, which were termed induced multipotency stem cells (induced pluripotent cells) (Cell, 2006, 124 (4) pp.663-676; cell,2007, 131 (5) pp.861-872). These stem cells have differentiation potential similar to embryonic stem cells (embryonic stem cells) and are capable of forming the three most basic germ layers for human development: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, and eventually form a variety of adult cells. The invention breaks through the ethical limitation of using human embryonic stem cells in medicine. Taking the nervous system as an example, in the field of regenerative medicine, currently, the induction of neural stem cells and neurons adopts a SMAD pathway dual inhibition method (Dual SMAD inhibition) (Chambers SM, et al, nat Biotechnol,2009, 27 (3): 275-80), and the neural stem cells obtained by the method can differentiate into other types of neuronal cells, and the principle is that the BMP and TGFBeta pathway is inhibited to simulate the signaling pathway in early embryonic development, thereby inducing the generation of the neural stem cells. Of these, LDN-193189 and SB431542 are two widely used chemical small molecule inhibitors that act on ALK2 and ALK3 in the BMP4 pathway, and ALK5 in the TGFBeta pathway, respectively, to achieve the effects of engrafting endoderm and mesoderm formation, thereby inducing ectodermal development and neurogenesis. By this method, induced neuronal cells can be obtained in the presence of a serotypes component (Knockout Serum Replacement) (Chambers SM, et al, nat Biotechnol.,2013, 30 (7): 715-720). The research of the induced nerve cells provides a new idea for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and drug screening.
Based on the technical problems existing in the prior art, a chemical induction cortical neuron culture medium and an induction method are necessary to be studied.

The transcriptional changes of different marker genes during differentiation from neural stem cells to neurons were detected using Q-PCR. Total RNA extraction was performed using the NouvNeu and N2B27 systems, using RNeasy Mini or Micro Kit (QIAGEN) respectively, and 1mg RNA was used to synthesize cDNA using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen). The labeling and reaction of the Quan-titative PCR was performed with SYBR Premix Ex Taq (TaKaRa) and Thermal Cycler Dice Real Time System (TaKaRa), and beta-action was used as an internal control. All data were analyzed using delta-Ct method. Three replicates were used for each set of experiments and variance statistics were performed. The primer sequences for identifying the coding genes for the different cell markers are shown in table 3.
The analysis results are shown in FIG. 2, in which the action expressed gene is used as an internal reference, and DAPT-induced human cortical neurons are used as controls. The results show that the gene transcription level of Crenigacetat-induced human cortical neurons GAD1, GRID1 and GRIN1 is not significantly different from that of DAPT-induced human cortical neurons, while the gene transcription level of 1-10 mu M Crenigacetat-induced human cortical neurons GRIA1, VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 is higher than that of control group DAPT-induced human cortical neurons, which indicates that the maturity of the human cortical neurons obtained by induction of the invention is higher than that of the control group.

4.2 identification of Crenigacistat-induced human cortical neuron expressed proteins
Immunofluorescence experiments were used to identify markers of crenigacistat-induced human cortical neuronal cells. Human cortical neuronal cells were induced in 24 well plates containing glass plates according to the method of example 4, after which they were washed twice with DPBS buffer; fixing cells for 10 minutes at room temperature by adopting 4% paraformaldehyde, and washing twice by using a DPBS buffer solution; then permeabilizing the mixture for 2 minutes at the temperature of 4 ℃ by using precooled absolute methanol, and washing the mixture twice by using DPBS buffer solution; the cells were then incubated overnight at 4℃with DPBS buffer containing 10% bovine serum albumin; then adding an antibody diluted by a DPBS buffer solution containing 2% bovine serum albumin, incubating for 1h at room temperature, and washing twice by the DPBS buffer solution; then adding a secondary antibody diluted by a DPBS buffer solution containing 2% bovine serum albumin, incubating for 45min at room temperature in a dark place, and washing twice by the DPBS buffer solution; finally, DAPI containing 5 mug/mL was added and incubated for 2min at room temperature, and after three washes with DPBS buffer, the photographs were taken. Details of antibody use are shown in table 4. Differential expression of markers MAP2 and VGlut1 from cortical neurons at different concentrations of Crinigacistat was identified, and the results showed that expression of markers MAP2 and VGlut1 from cortical neurons correlated positively with the concentration of Crinigacistat. As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3a-3c show marker expression of cortical neurons at 1uM crenigacttat concentration; FIG. 3a shows VGlut1 expression at 1uM Crinigacistat concentration; FIG. 3b shows MAP2 expression at a concentration of 1uM Cronigamatat; FIG. 3c shows a composite picture of FIGS. 3a and 3 b; FIGS. 3d-3f show marker expression of cortical neurons at 5uM Cronigacitat concentration; FIG. 3d shows VGlut1 expression at 5uM Crinigacistat concentration; FIG. 3e shows MAP2 expression at 5uM Cronigacistat concentration; FIG. 3f shows a composite picture of FIGS. 3d and 3 f; FIGS. 3g-3i show marker expression of cortical neurons at 10uM Cronigacitat concentration; FIG. 3g shows VGlut1 expression at a concentration of 10uM Crinigacistat; FIG. 3h shows MAP2 expression at a concentration of 10uM Cronigacistat; fig. 3i shows the composite picture of fig. 3g and 3 h. The results show that cortical neuron marker expression appears to correlate with crenigacistat concentration.

4.3 identification of Crencapurtat-induced cortical neuronal morphology
Morphological differences in cortical neurons during crenigacistat and DAPT induced differentiation were observed using a high content imaging system (ImageXpress Micro Confocal High-Content Imageing System, molecular devices). A corresponding number of human neural stem cells were seeded in coated 96-well plates according to the method of example 4, induced culture was performed in a high content imaging system using NouvNeu-C medium containing 1/10/20. Mu.M Crengagestat, four parallel wells per concentration, and the control group used the same batch of cells containing 10. Mu.M DAPT medium to culture the four parallel wells. Four fields of view were established per well, imaged every 1h for a total of 48h. The results are shown in FIG. 4, and demonstrate that the induction of human cortical neurons by the present invention is faster than that by the control group.
Example 5 Crenigacetat-induced long-term apoptosis detection of human cortical neuronal cells
The transcriptional changes of different marker genes during differentiation from neural stem cells to neurons were detected using Q-PCR. The human-derived neural stem cells (abbreviated as NSC) obtained in example 2 were taken, and cells after induction for 7 days using NouvNeu-C medium containing 0/1/7.5/15/20. Mu.M Crenigacetat were subjected to total RNA extraction using RNeasy Mini or Micro Kit (QIAGEN), respectively, and 1mg of RNA was synthesized into cDNA using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen). The labeling and reaction of the Quan-titative PCR was performed with SYBR Premix Ex Taq (TaKaRa) and Thermal Cycler Dice Real Time System (TaKaRa), and beta-action was used as an internal control. All data were analyzed using delta-Ctmethod. Three replicates were used for each set of experiments and variance statistics were performed. Primer sequences for identifying the coding genes for the different cell markers are shown in table 5.
