目的 關(guān)節(jié)軟骨缺損和退變是骨科常見病、多發(fā)病,創(chuàng)傷、骨軟骨炎、骨性關(guān)節(jié)炎、髕骨軟化等均可引起軟骨的病損。但關(guān)節(jié)軟骨的病變難以自身修復(fù),目前治療除人工關(guān)節(jié)置換外尚無其他良策,人工關(guān)節(jié)置換的高昂費(fèi)用和并發(fā)癥不容忽視。 組織工程方法修復(fù)關(guān)節(jié)軟骨缺損已取得初步成功,但移植后組織工程軟骨時間延長出現(xiàn)老化退變現(xiàn)象,從而制約了其進(jìn)一步臨床應(yīng)用,老化和退變的主要原因是軟骨細(xì)胞本身增殖、傳代能力差,軟骨細(xì)胞所具有特異性細(xì)胞外基質(zhì)(extracellular matrix,ECM)合成減少,從而影響軟骨細(xì)胞的表型和活性,雖然有報道在細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)過程中應(yīng)用藻酸鹽支架和添加細(xì)胞因子進(jìn)行改善,但受到作用時間短、易于流失需反復(fù)添加、價格昂貴等因素制約。 轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)(gene transfer)是指將克隆化的外源基因通過特定的手段導(dǎo)入真核細(xì)胞的方法,具有以下優(yōu)點(diǎn):①受體細(xì)胞可持續(xù)高效地表達(dá)目的基因,以調(diào)控其自身和其他效應(yīng)細(xì)胞生長并獲得所需特定功能。②轉(zhuǎn)基因細(xì)胞合成分泌的內(nèi)源性蛋白經(jīng)過適當(dāng)?shù)姆g后修飾過程,能夠更有效地同細(xì)胞表面受體結(jié)合,表達(dá)產(chǎn)物的生物活性更高。③價格遠(yuǎn)低于純化的重組蛋白。因此,若結(jié)合應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù),將能夠促進(jìn)軟骨細(xì)胞ECM合成的目的基因?qū)肫渲?,以此為種子細(xì)胞構(gòu)建一種基因修飾的組織工程軟骨(gene modified ti ssue engineering cartilage,GMTEC)無疑非常具有意義。

Introduction The defect and degeneration of articular cartilage are common in orthopedic field. Although artificial prothesis is the main and effective choice, high cost and complication could not be neglected. Repairing the defect of articular cartilage with tissue engineering cartilage succeeded preliminarily, but clinical application was suspended because the transplanted tissue engineering cartilage degenerated as time going. The main reason of the degeneration is that the proliferation and passage ability of chondrocyte is limited. The phenotype and activity of chondrocyte are affected, as the specific extracellular matrix (ECM) components are synthesized decreased during passage. There are some reports about application of alginate and growth factors to improve the synthesis of ECM, but there are some shortages, such as short biological half-lives, high price and repeatedly addition. Gene transfer, which means to induce aim gene into eukaryotic cells with special method, has following advantages: 1) the transferred cells are able to express aim gene continuously and effectively that can modulate the growth of themselves and other effective cells and to obtain specific functions. 2) The endogenous aim proteins produced by transferred cells have undergone authentic post-translational modification and therefore have improved potencies to combine with receptors on cells" surface as well as more biological activities. 3) The price of gene transfer is lower than that of purified recombinant proteins. Therefore, it is of great value to induce aim gene which could increase ECM synthesis into cells by employing gene transfer techniques. With these gene modified seed cells, the new gene modified tissue engineering cartilage could be constructed in order to repair the defect and degeneration of articular cartilage. The purposes of present study were to isolate and culture adipose tissue derived stem cells of rat"s inguinal region, and to investigate the feasibility of oriented differentiation into osteoblast by PRP.The adipose tissue derived stem cells are transferred with TGF-β1 gene and differentiated into chondrocytes. The gene modified stem cells from adipose tissue are cultured in the three-dimensioned system of alginate gel and observed through transmission electron microscope(TEM).Heterotopic chondrogenesis of TGF-β1 gene modified stem cells loading alginate gel was observed in athymic mice. Materials and methods Materials Ripe male Wistar rats and 4 athymic mice (SPF) were supplied by laboratory animal department of china medical university. Methods 1. ATSCs were isolated and cultured The inguinal adipose tissue of the rats was dissected under sterile conditions, and digested by 0.25 % typeⅠcollagenase at 37℃for 3h.The resulting cell suspension was diluted with D-Hank"s solution and centrifuged at 1200rpm for 5 minutes. The pellet was resuspended with HG-DMEM including 15% fetal bovine serum and cultured at 37℃in a humidified atmosphere and 5% CO_2. 2. CD44 immunofluorescence staining The second passage ATSCs grown in monolayer were fixed in acetone before histologic examination. Immunofluorescence staining procedures were performed using standard protocols. 3. PRP DMEM preparation The rat"s blood was taken suction from its abdominal aorta and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10min.The upper hematoplasma and platelet were taken suction,then were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10min. The pellet was PRP.1ml PRP was added into 98ml DMEM and the same time 1ml 100g/L CaCl_2 solution including 5000 U bovine thrombin was added. 4. The effect of PRP on ATSCs proliferation was detected through MTT 5. Histochemical staining of ALP The twice-passaged ATSCs were cultured with PRP DMEM for 14 days. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and stained according to Kaplow"s method 6. Detection of ALP activity The twice-passaged ATSCs were seeded in 96-well plates at 5×10~4/well and cultured in PRP DMEM for 7, 14, 21, 28 days respectively. After the respective cultivation, ALP activity was detected with ALP detective reageant.Simultaneously the twice-passaged ATSCs were seeded in 96-well plates at 5×10~4/well and cultured in DMEM as controls 7. Calcium nodule staining with alizarin red The cells cultured in PRP DMEM for 14 days were washed with PBS, fixed with 95% alcohol for 5 min, stained with 2% alizarin red staining solution and washed twice with PBS. 8. TGF-β1 gene transferring ATSCs for stable cells The twice-passaged ATSCs were plated at 5×10~5 cells in the 35mm plate so that they will be 90% confluent at the time of transfection. ATSCs were transferred according to Lipofectamine2000 direction for use. After 6h, growth medium was replaced. Passage the cells at a 1:10 dilution into fresh growth medium after 24h.Add selective medium the following day. The cell clones formed and was plated into 24-well plate after 21 days. When the cells were confluent they were seeded into 6-well plate. Finally they were seeded in culture flask. 9.RT-PCR for TGF-β1、FN、ColⅡ、Aggrecan、MMP-1、MMP-2、MMP-3 mRNA Total RNA of each sample were isolated by using Trizol Solution, then the concentration and purity of RNA were detected through DNA/RNA detective machine. Reverse transcription reaction tube included 10×PCR Buffer 1μl, dNTP 1μl、MgCl_2 2μl、Random 9mers 0.5μl、RNAlμl、RNase inhibitor 0.25μl、Reverse Transcriptase 0.5μl、RNase Free dH_2O 3.75μl。Followed by the conditions: 10min at 30℃, 30min at 42℃,5min at 99℃and 5min at 5℃. PCR amplification was performed on a PCR thermal cycler. PCR reaction conditions included initial denaturation for 2min at 95℃, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation of 95℃for 1min and annealing at 72℃for 1min, then extension at 72℃for 7min. The efficiency were detected byβ-actin. PCR products were loaded onto a 8% agarose gels electrophoresis containing ethidium bromide and the bands were visualized under ultraviolet light, then ascertained with the comparison to Makers (TaKaRa Co). 10. Western-blot analysis The samples were lysed in 200μ1 RIPA buffer. The protein concentration was measured according to the Lowry method;The protein was loaded onto polyacrylamide gel eletrophoresis;After 2h the product was transferred to PVDF membrane,the blot was probed with rabbit multiclonal anti-TGF-β1 antibody (1: 400, Santa Cruz,USA) and rabbit multiclonal anti-β-actin antibody (1:400, Santa Cruz,USA),incubated at 4℃for 12h,incubated with the secondary goat anti-rabbit monoclonal antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase for 2h at room temperature, stained with alkaline phosphatase coloration solution for 15min.The positive blot were scanned and then measured for intensity by using the UPV gel imaging-analyzing system (Chemi Imager 5500, USA). 11. Observe the stable cells growing in alginate gel through SEM The stable cells at 1×10~6個/ml was blended with 1.25 % algin solution, dropped into 102M Cacl_2 solution and stirred so that alginate gel formed. The complex was cultured in 15% FBS DMEM for a week. The alginate gel without stable cells was made control. Observe the stable cells growing in alginate gel through SEM 12.Observe complex of the stable cells and alginate gel through toluidine blue staining The complex was cultured in 15% FBS DMEM for a week, made stressed plate and stained with blue toluidine solution. 13. Construction of tissue engineering cartilage The cells of TGF-β1 gene stable transfection at 5×10~6個/ml was blended with 1.25 % algin solution, dropped into 102M Cacl_2 solution and stirred at the same time so that alginate gel formed. Then the complex was injected into athymic mice subcutaneouly. The complexes were dissected from the athymic mice respectively after 4, 8 weeks, made paraffin sections and stained with respect to HE,Masson. and immunohistochemistry. 14. The data were analyzed by the SPSS12.0 software. Results The ATSCs of primary culture adhered to the plate the second day and were confluent between 7 to 10 days. They exhibited fibroblast-like phenotype, without obvious variation among passages. To confirm ATSCs, expression of CD44 was determined by immunofluorescence. MTT demonstrated experimental groups were different from control groups significantly (P<0.01).The PRP inducing ATSCs expressed positive after 14 days by ALP staining. Detection of ALP activity demonstrated experimental groups differentiated with control groups significantly (P<0.01). Alizarin red staining expressed that the PRP inducing ATSCs formed calcium nodules after 14 days. RT-PCR demonstrated that TGFβ1、FN、ColⅡ、Aggrecan、MMP-2 mRNA of experimental groups increased more evidently than control groups (P<0.01). MMP-1mRNA of experimental groups decreased more evidently than control groups (P<0.01), at the same time MMP-3 mRNA of experimental groups also declined more evidently than control groups(P<0. 05). Western blot demonstrated that TGFβ1 protein of experimental groups increase more evidently than control groups significantly (P<0.01) Alginate gel was observed high porosity, and that TGFβ1 modified ATSCs grew up well and secrete extracellular matrix by scanning electronic microscope. TGF-β1 modified ATSCs cultured in alginate gel expressed positive toluidine blue staining and splitting phase of the nucleus was observed. Histologic findings demonstrated that the constructs included many cartilage-like cells and extracellular matrix, were similar to cartilage tissue. Many cells located in lacunes. Extracellular matrix was loose and minority of alginate gel was not absorbed at 4 weeks after injection. Extracellular matrix demonstrated blue and enclosed cartilage-like cells by Masson staining. At 8 weeks after injection, alginate gel was completely absorbed, simultaneously cartilage-like cells located in lacunes and extracellular matrix was stained blue by Masson staining. The conducts at 4 and 8 weeks after injection expressed collagenⅡthrough immunohistochemistry. Conclusions 1. ATSCs of Wistar rats could be separated and cultured successfully and their expression of CD44 was positive 2. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) induced ATSCs to differentiate into osteoblast 3. TGF-β1 gene was transferred into ATSCs at the first time in our country. The specific extracellular matrix of chondrocyte differentiation increased evidently. The results demonstrated TGF-β1 gene could induce ATSCs into chondrocyte. 4. TGF-β1 gene promoted MMP-2 to increase and promoted MMP-1,3 to decrease. The decrease of MMP-1,3 was one of reasons that the specific extracellular matrix of chondrocyte differentiation increased. 5. TGF-β1 gene modified ATSCs-alginate gel complex successfully constructed tissue-engineering cartilage。
