- the invention silences PTB through virus in vitro, and at the same time, the small molecule retinoic acid and purmorphamine related to the differentiation of motor neurons are added together, and the reactive astrocytes of the mouse spinal cord are successfully reprogrammed into motor neurons.
- the in vivo study of the reprogramming strategy of PTB combined with small molecules in the repair of spinal cord injury provides help, and then achieves better repair and functional reconstruction of spinal cord injury.
- Spinal cord tissue was obtained from neonatal mice.
- the spinal cord was placed in a petri dish filled with ice D-Hanks solution and rinsed twice. The meninges and blood vessels on the surface were carefully stripped off with microsurgical forceps. D-Hanks solution was rinsed 2-3 times and transferred to another.
- a petri dish chop the spinal cord to a chyle shape, transfer the chopped spinal cord block in the petri dish into a 15 mL centrifuge tube, then add an equal amount of 0.25% trypsin, digest it in a 37 °C water bath for 15 min, and mix by pipetting every 5 min.
- the medium was changed in full after every 2 days to remove the dead cell debris that did not adhere to the wall, so that the glial cells could fully grow. Observe under the microscope during each medium change. After about 1 week, the cells covered the bottom of the bottle, and then further purified and cultured . When the glial cells are cultured for 7 to 9 days, after the cells are covered with the bottom of the culture flask, place them on a constant temperature shaking culture bed at 37°C, with a rotation speed of 280 rmp/min, for 16 to 18 hours (the constant temperature culture bed is UV sterilized in advance).
- LPS lipopolysaccharide
- shRNA-PTB silences the PTB of reactive astrocytes in the spinal cord of mice
- the lentivirus-packaged shRNA-PTB (sequence 5'-GGGTGAAGATCCTGTTCAATA-3'SEQ ID NO.1) produced by Shanghai Heyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was infected with reactive astrocytes 2d, and real-time RT-PCR was used.
- the mRNA and protein expression changes of PTB were detected by techniques such as Western blot to determine the silencing efficiency of shRNA-PTB.
- the protein (A) and mRNA (B) levels of PTB were significantly decreased after shRNA-PTB lentivirus infected cells for 2 days, indicating that shRNA-PTB lentivirus could reduce the reactive astrocytes in mouse spinal cord in vitro PTB expression, and the silencing efficiency is about 50%
- the packaged shRNA-PTB lentivirus was used to infect reactive astrocytes, and after 2 days, the infection medium was replaced with induction medium (N3/basal medium: Insulin, sodium selenite, Retinoic acid, putrescine, ChIR99021, SB431542, Db-cAMP, FGF-basic, GDNF), half-change medium for induction medium every 2 d, induction culture for 7 d, 14 d, 16 d, 21 d, 28 d; immunocytochemical technique was used to detect MAP2 pan-neuronal markers and ChAT movement Neuronal marker expression.

Description
本发明属于生物医药技术领域,具体涉及多聚嘧啶序列结合蛋白沉默剂联合维甲酸、嘌吗啡胺在制备脊髓损伤的修复药物中的应用。The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to the application of a polypyrimidine sequence-binding protein silencing agent combined with retinoic acid and purmorphamine in the preparation of a spinal cord injury repair medicine.
脊髓损伤(spinal cord injury,SCI)是一种致残率高且后果严重的中枢神经系统损伤性疾病,严重损害患者运动功能,往往导致损伤部位以下的瘫痪。目前公认的SCI治疗有三大难点:一是迅速活化的反应性胶质细胞,尤其是星形胶质细胞会大量增生形成致密的胶质疤痕组织,使本身生长相对缓慢的轴突在延伸穿越损伤处时,遇到难以逾越的机械屏障及其分泌的抑制因子形成的化学屏障;二是部分受损的神经元会因坏死或凋亡而丢失,仅靠残留的少量神经干细胞无法足量补充丢失的神经元,而未丢失的受损神经元自身的再生能力也很有限;三是在损伤处会出现多种抑制再生因子和炎症因子,形成不利轴突再生的化学微环境。这些不利因素相互协调,最终导致SCI难以组织修复和功能重建。Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system injury disease with a high disability rate and serious consequences, which seriously impairs the patient's motor function and often leads to paralysis below the injury site. Currently recognized SCI treatment has three major difficulties: First, the rapidly activated reactive glial cells, especially astrocytes, will proliferate in large numbers to form dense glial scar tissue, so that the relatively slow-growing axons extend through the injury. At the same time, it encounters an insurmountable mechanical barrier and a chemical barrier formed by the inhibitory factors it secretes; second, some damaged neurons will be lost due to necrosis or apoptosis, and only a small amount of residual neural stem cells cannot adequately replenish the lost. The regenerative capacity of the damaged neurons that have not been lost is also very limited; third, there will be a variety of inhibitory regeneration factors and inflammatory factors at the injury site, forming a chemical microenvironment that is unfavorable for axon regeneration. These unfavorable factors are coordinated with each other and ultimately lead to difficult tissue repair and functional reconstruction in SCI.
神经组织损伤时,星形胶质细胞会大量反应性增生并表现出祖细胞特性,说明其在细胞转分化方面具有高度的可塑性。如果设法将SCI后大量增殖并带有负面影响的反应性星形胶质细胞作为靶细胞原位直接诱导重编程为神经元,甚至是具有相应功能的运动神经元,达到既能适当消除胶质疤痕,又能原位补充因SCI丢失的神经元的目的,同时改善轴突再生的微环境,应该是个一举多得的解决SCI后影响修复再生难点的好方法,并为SCI细胞替换治疗和个性化医药研发设想贡献了新的实现途径。When nerve tissue is injured, astrocytes will proliferate reactively and exhibit progenitor cell characteristics, indicating that they have a high degree of plasticity in cell transdifferentiation. If we manage to use reactive astrocytes that proliferate and have negative effects after SCI as target cells to directly induce reprogramming into neurons, or even motor neurons with corresponding functions in situ, we can achieve the goal of properly eliminating glia. The purpose of scarring, which can supplement the neurons lost due to SCI in situ, and at the same time improve the microenvironment of axon regeneration, should be a good method to solve the difficulties affecting repair and regeneration after SCI, and to replace the treatment and personality of SCI cells. The idea of chemical medicine R&D has contributed to a new way of realization.

多聚嘧啶序列结合蛋白(PTB)是一种RNA结合蛋白且在神经元的诱导和分化中扮演重要角色,有研究指出通过沉默PTB可以将中脑的星形胶质细胞重编程为多巴胺能神经元,同时PTB沉默也可以使小鼠视网膜直接重编程为神经节细胞。目前,PTB的“减法”重编程策略大多数都定位于脑和视网膜的研究,其在SCI修复中的作用未有相关报道。同时,有研究表明小分子维甲酸(retinoic acid,RA)参与诱导神经分化、运动神经元轴突的生长;嘌吗啡胺(Purmorphamine,PMA)通过激活sonic hedgehog信号通路来参与神经发生和分化,促进间充质干细胞向运动神经元的分化。因此,脊髓损伤后是否可以较简便地通过星形胶质细胞的PTB沉默联合添加RA和PMA原位诱导重编程获得一定数量的运动神经元,值得进行深入研究。Polypyrimidine Binding Protein (PTB) is an RNA-binding protein and plays an important role in the induction and differentiation of neurons. Studies have shown that silencing PTB can reprogram midbrain astrocytes into dopaminergic neurons. Cells, while PTB silencing can also directly reprogram mouse retinas to ganglion cells. At present, most of the "subtractive" reprogramming strategies of PTB are located in the brain and retina, and there is no relevant report on its role in SCI repair. At the same time, studies have shown that small molecule retinoic acid (RA) is involved in inducing neural differentiation and the growth of motor neuron axons; Purmorphamine (PMA) is involved in neurogenesis and differentiation by activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway, promoting Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into motor neurons. Therefore, whether a certain number of motor neurons can be easily reprogrammed by PTB silencing of astrocytes combined with adding RA and PMA in situ after spinal cord injury deserves further study.
本发明在体外通过病毒来沉默PTB,同时联合添加与运动神经元分化相关的小分子维甲酸和嘌吗啡胺,成功使小鼠脊髓反应性星形胶质细胞重编程为运动神经元,为进一步体内研究PTB联合小分子的重编程策略在脊髓损伤后修复中的作用提供帮助,进而实现更好的脊髓损伤修复和功能重建效果。The invention silences PTB through virus in vitro, and at the same time, the small molecule retinoic acid and purmorphamine related to the differentiation of motor neurons are added together, and the reactive astrocytes of the mouse spinal cord are successfully reprogrammed into motor neurons.
