2.鉴定
2.1凝胶电泳
a、制备聚丙烯酰胺凝胶:将40wt%的丙烯酰胺溶液、10×TAE、10wt%的硫酸铵溶液、蒸馏水、四甲基乙二胺按照1~2:1:1:1:1的体积比混合,制成聚丙烯酰氨凝胶。
b、加样及电泳:将1ul 6×loading buffer分别与5ul的样品和marker混合均匀,然后分别加入对应的电泳槽中。在冰浴、恒压100V的条件下,电泳处理1小时。
c、GelRed染色及曝光:将聚丙烯酰氨凝胶放置于GelRed和蒸馏水按照1:50的比例混合的混合液液中,避光,摇床15~25分钟。曝光。
结果:如图2所示,泳道1~8分别为Marker,1-S1,2-S2,3-S3,4-S4,5-S1+S2,6-S1+S2+S3,7-S1+S2+S3+S4(7-TDNs)。从图中可以看出,ss DNA单链S1、S2、S3、S4的大小分别约为60bp、50bp、50bp、50bp,则本发明制备出的TDNs的大小约为210bp。
2.2透射电镜
取适量样本液于金属片上,红外下照射5~10分钟使其干燥,上机检测。
结果:如图3所示,TDNs的形状在透射电镜下呈近似三角形形状,粒径大小在10~15nM范围内。圆圈标注的为多聚物。
2.3动态光散射
取适量ssDNA和TDNs溶液,放置于动态光散射检测仪中,进行检测。
结果:如图4-a,ssDNA的粒径约为48.255nm。如图4-b,TDNs的粒径约为16.801nm。
为了证明TDNs确实有助于神经修复,以下将用实验例的方式进一步说明,实验例中用到的小鼠神经干细胞均为NE-4C细胞。
实验例1 神经干细胞的鉴定
采用免疫荧光技术对小鼠神经干细胞进行鉴定,一次包括以下步骤:
A、将细胞悬浮液接种于共聚焦小皿中,放置于孵箱中培养24小时。吸去组分为DMEM+10%血清+1%双抗的培养基,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟;
B、4%多聚甲醛固定25分钟后,吸去多聚甲醛,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟;
C、0.5%Triton-100处理20-25分钟,吸去Triton-100,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟;
D、羊血清处理1小时,吸去羊血清,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟;

后面的实验例所涉及的“细胞”均为实验例1中同种未分化状态的小鼠神经干细胞。
实验例2 神经干细胞摄取实验
能被细胞大量摄取,是大多数药物起到治疗作用的前提。本实验例检测神经干细胞对TDNs的摄取能力。
(1)流式细胞术
a、在6孔板接种细胞悬液,先在孵箱预培养24小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2);然后将培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱继续培养6小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2);再将培养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱继续培养1小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2)。
b、阴性对照组不做任何处理,阳性对照组加入浓度为250nM的Cy5修饰的单链DNA S1,实验组加入浓度为250nM的Cy5修饰的TDNs,于孵箱培养12小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2)。
c、将细胞收集起来,1000r/min下离心5min,PBS重悬,重复三次,上机检测。
结果:如图6-a和6-b,神经干细胞对TNDs的摄取明显多于对ssDNA的摄取。(请贵方解释图6-a)
上述实验证明,TNDs能够很好的被小鼠神经干细胞摄取。
(2)荧光示踪技术
a、在共聚焦小皿中接种小鼠神经干细胞悬液,先在孵箱预培养24小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2);然后将培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱继续培养6小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2);再将培养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱继续培养1小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2)。
b、对照组加入浓度为250nM的Cy5修饰的S1,实验组加入浓度为250nM的Cy5修饰的TDNs,于孵箱培养12小时(37℃,5%(v/v)CO2)。
c、吸去培养基,用PBS清洗三次,每次5分钟;然后用4wt%的多聚甲醛固定25分钟,吸去多聚甲醛,用PBS清洗三次,每次5分钟;再用鬼笔环肽处理,避光10~30分钟,吸去鬼笔环肽,用PBS清洗三次,每次5分钟;然后用DAPI处理,避光10分钟,吸去DAPI,用PBS清洗三次,每次5分钟;再用10wt%的甘油封样,避光,4℃保存,并上机检测。
结果:如图7-a和7-b,ssDNA被神经干细胞摄取的较少;神经干细胞对TDNs摄取的较多,且进入细胞的TDNs大部分聚集在细胞的胞浆内,进入细胞核的较少。
表明TDNs可以很好地被神经干细胞所摄取。
实验例3 TDNs促进小鼠神经干细胞的增殖及检测
1.CCK-8检测增殖
(1)在96孔板中接种细胞悬液(100μl/孔),将培养板置于孵箱中预培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2),再将组分为DMEM+10%血清+1%双抗的培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱中培养6小时(37℃,5%CO 2),然后将培养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱中培养1小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(2)将培养的细胞悬液分为对照组和实验组,并在实验组中加入TDNs,对照组中加入等量的PBS,然后于孵箱中培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(3)分别向实验组和对照组中加入CCK-8溶液(10μl/孔),然后于孵箱中孵育1~4h(37℃,5%CO 2),再在450nm处检测每孔的吸光度,其结果见图8。
如图8所示,当TDNs浓度为62.5nM、125nM、250nM时,与对照组相比,实验组中小鼠神经干细胞的增殖过程,在一定程度上都受到了TDNs的促进作用,且250nM是最佳浓度,表明TDNs具有促进小鼠神经干细胞增殖的作用。
2、采用流式细胞术检测细胞增殖
(1)在25ml培养瓶中接种细胞悬液,将培养瓶置于孵箱中预培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2),再将组分为DMEM+10%血清+1%双抗的培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱中培养6小时(37℃,5%CO 2),然后将培 养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱中培养1小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(2)将培养的细胞悬液分为对照组和实验组,并在实验组中加入TDNs,对照组中加入等量的PBS,然后于孵箱中培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(3)使用0.25%胰蛋白酶分别消化收集对照组细胞和实验组细胞,置于15ml离心管中(2000rpm、5分钟),弃上清,PBS洗涤,离心(2000rpm、5分钟),再加入冰乙醇500μl固定细胞,4℃过夜,第二天加入PBS离心,弃上清,再加入PBS洗涤,离心,弃上清,然后加入100μl RNase,37℃水浴,30分钟,加入400μl PI染色混匀,4℃避光,30分钟。将细胞转移至流式管中,上机检测,并进行数据分析,其结果见图9。
如图9所示,与对照组相比,实验组中处于S期(DNA合成期)的细胞数目明显增加,说明TDNs改变了神经干细胞的细胞周期,具有促进其增殖的作用。
综上,TDNs可以促进神经干细胞增殖。
实验例4 Wnt/β-catenin信号通路相关基因表达检测
Wnt/β-catenin信号通路是细胞周期调控的重要通路,它的激活能显著促进干细胞的增殖。本实验例检测TDNs处理下,NSC的Wnt/β-catenin信号通路相关基因的表达情况。
1.样品处理
(1)在6孔板中接种细胞悬液(100μl/孔),将培养板置于孵箱中预培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2),再将组分为DMEM+10%血清+1%双抗的培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱中培养6小时(37℃,5%CO 2),然后将培养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱中培养1小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(2)采用组分为DMEM+1%双抗的培养基对步骤(1)所得细胞悬液进行培养,将细胞悬液分为对照组和实验组,且每天同时更换培养基;并在实验组中加入浓度为250nM的TDNs,同时,对照组中加入等量的PBS。
2.蛋白检测
在实验组处理24h后,提取实验组、对照组的全蛋白,再通过Western blot检测与神经干细胞增殖过程相关的Wnt/β-catenin信号通路上的三个蛋白:β-catenin、Lef-1和Cyclin-D。
简要检测流程如下:灌胶→上样→电泳→转膜→封闭液摇动封闭1小时→一抗4℃过夜→回收一抗→TBST洗涤3次(每次5-10分钟)→二抗孵育1小时→弃二抗、TBST洗涤3次(每次5-10分钟)→曝光。
如图10a和图10b所示,小鼠神经干细胞经TDNs处理24h后,β-catenin、Lef-1和Cyclin-D蛋白含量要显著高于对照组。
3.基因表达检测
在实验组处理24h后,提取实验组、对照组的RNA,通过逆转录试剂盒获得cDNA,再使用染料法进行荧光定量PCR检测与神经干细胞增殖过程相关的Wnt/β-catenin信号通路上的三个基因:β-catenin、Lef-1和Cyclin-D。
如图10c所示,小鼠神经干细胞TDNs处理24h后,β-catenin、Lef-1和Cyclin-D基因表达量要显著高于对照组。
本实验例表明,TDNs通过上调Wnt/β-catenin信号通路上的三个基因的表达来促进神经干细胞的增殖。
实验例5 β-III-Tubulin及Notch信号通路相关基因表达检测
β-III-Tubulin蛋白是一种神经元标记物,当神经干细胞分化成神经元时,β-III-Tubulin表达就会上调。Notch信号通路在神经系统发育过程扮演重要角色,其在成体神经干细胞分化过程中表现为抑制状态。本实验例通过检测β-III-Tubulin及Notch信号通路相关基因的表达来说明TDNs对NSC的促分化作用。
1.样品处理
(1)在6孔板中接种细胞悬液(100μl/孔),将培养板置于孵箱中预培养24小时(37℃,5%CO 2),再将组分为DMEM+10%血清+1%双抗的培养基中的血清浓度由10%降到6%,于孵箱中培养6小时(37℃,5%CO 2),然后将培养基中的血清浓度由6%降到0,于孵箱中培养1小时(37℃,5%CO 2)。
(2)采用组分为DMEM+1%双抗的培养基对步骤(1)所得细胞悬液进行培养,将细胞悬液分为对照组和实验组,且每天同时更换培养基;并在实验组中加入浓度为250nM的TDNs,同时,对照组中加入等量的PBS。
2.蛋白检测
在实验组分别处理1天、3天和7天后,提取实验组、对照组的全蛋白,再通过Western blot检测与神经干细胞分化相关的蛋白:β-III-Tubulin、Notch-1、Hes-1和Hes-5。
简要检测流程如下:灌胶→上样→电泳→转膜→封闭液摇动封闭1小时→一抗4℃过夜→回收一抗→TBST洗涤3次(每次5-10分钟)→二抗孵育1小时→弃二抗、TBST洗涤3次(每次5-10分钟)→曝光。
如图11a、11b、12a和12b所示,实验组中神经干细胞分化的标记物蛋白(β-III-Tubulin)的表达量均高于对照组,且与对照组相比,实验组中分化相关Notch信号通路上的三个蛋白,分别是Notch-1、Hes-1、Hes-5的表达量降低,表明TDNs能够促进小鼠神经干细胞的分化成熟。
3.基因表达检测
在实验组分别处理1天、3天和7天后,提取实验组、对照组的RNA,通 过逆转录试剂盒获得cDNA,再使用染料法进行荧光定量PCR检测与神经干细胞分化相关的蛋白:β-III-Tubulin、Notch-1、Hes-1和Hes-5。
如图11c和12c所示,与对照组相比,实验组中分化相关的目的基因(β-III-Tubulin)的表达量均较高,且与对照组相比,实验组中分化相关Notch信号通路上的三个蛋白,分别是Notch-1、Hes-1、Hes-5,其所对应的基因Notch-1、Hes-1、Hes-5的表达量降低,表明TDNs能够促进小鼠神经干细胞的分化成熟,其分化与Notch通路的抑制有关。
4.免疫荧光技术
(1)按照本实验例第1节的方法处理样品,仅将6孔板换成共聚焦小皿。
(2)TDNs处理1天和7天后,分别吸去实验组和对照组的培养基,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。再用4%多聚甲醛固定25分钟后,吸去多聚甲醛,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟,0.5%Triton-100处理20-25分钟,吸去Triton-100,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。羊血清处理1小时,吸去羊血清,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。一抗β-III-Tubulin抗体处理,4℃,过夜。第二天,37℃复温0.5小时,回收一抗,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。携带荧光的二抗处理,避光,37℃,1小时,吸去二抗,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。DAPI处理,避光,10分钟,吸去DAPI,PBS洗3次,每次5分钟。10%甘油封样,避光,4℃保存。上机检测。
结果:如图13、14所示,于1天和7天后,与对照组相比,实验组中的荧光强度(β-III-Tubulin)较高,且细胞的形态更接近神经元。
综上,TDNs通过抑制Notch信号通路促进神经干细胞的分化。

d、结果:如图16,与对照组相比,实验组中穿过Transwell小室的细胞明显增加,即TDNs促进了神经干细胞的垂直向迁移。
划痕实验和Transwell实验,证明了本发明的TDNs对小鼠神经干细胞的横向和纵向迁移确实具有良好的促进作用。
