羊膜位于胎盘绒毛膜内侧,是一层无血管、神经、淋巴和肌肉的透明薄膜,可起到对胎儿的保护作用,与发育中的胎儿联系紧密。人源羊膜细胞在受精后第8天开始形成,具有多项分化的潜能,可向三个胚层细胞进行分化,近年来研究表明,羊膜上皮细胞能够分化为成熟的神经细胞,并合成释放多巴胺、乙酰胆碱、去甲肾上腺素等神经递质[1]。人羊膜细胞具有低免疫原性和有效的免疫抑制力,细胞移植后不会发生急性排斥反应[2]。本实验从大鼠羊膜分离获取羊膜细胞,建立稳定培养的条件,并对其生物学特性进行了探讨,为其将来在细胞移植治疗方面的应用提供实验依据。

1.3 统计学方法

2 结果

2.1 分离细胞培养

分离培养大鼠羊膜细胞,镜下,细胞呈变形虫样生长(图1a),生长速度快(图1b),需隔天换液传代。本实验中大鼠羊膜细胞可传至6~7代。

2.2 流式细胞术鉴定细胞表面抗原结果

经流式细胞术鉴定大鼠羊膜细胞间充质细胞表面标记物CD29、CD44分别为97.6%和95.8%。细胞表面抗原CD90、CD45几乎不表达,CD11b有少量表达(图2见文后彩插6)。

2.3 细胞免疫荧光鉴定细胞表面标记物结果

本实验通过细胞免疫荧光方法检测大鼠羊膜细胞表达干细胞标记物Oct-4和Sox-2(如图3),神经干细胞标记物 nestin和间充质干细胞标记物vimentin(如图4),(图3~4见文后彩插7)并表达胚胎干细胞标记物SSEA-4(如图5)。可表达神经营养因子BDNF和NGF(如图6)(图5~6见文后彩插8)。

3 讨论

通过细胞免疫荧光实验发现大鼠羊膜细胞表达干细胞表面标记物Oct-4和Sox-2,间充质细胞标记物vimentin和神经细胞标记物nestin,表达SSEA-4。可表达神经营养因子标记物BDNF和NGF,这些神经营养因子是神经元生长与存活所必需的蛋白质分子[3]。羊膜细胞表达间充质干细胞标记物CD29和CD44,其表达量均在95%以上,CD45、CD90几乎不表达,CD11-b有少量表达。

Oct-4可参与胚胎干细胞的自我更新[4,5],调节胚胎干细胞的多分化潜能[6]。有研究指出Oct-4在羊膜细胞核内及细胞质均可表达[7]。Miki等人研究结果表明人羊膜上皮细胞和间充质细胞都可表达Sox-2、Oct-4等干细胞标志物[1]。本实验结果显示在大鼠羊膜细胞中Oct-4在胞核和胞质中均有表达。

Nestin被认为是在胚胎和成体组织中的多能性神经干细胞的标记物[8-10]。在有丝分裂活跃的中枢神经系统和周围神经系统细胞中表达,现作为神经干细胞的标记物被广泛应用[11]。人羊膜来源的间充质干细胞经体外诱导分化,可分化为神经样细胞并表达nestin、Oct-4和Sox-2[12]。Vimentin起到维持细胞形态,胞质完整性和稳定细胞骨架的作用。有研究发现在妊娠15 d的大鼠胚胎中检测有nestin和vimentin的表达,人羊膜细胞未分化的前体细胞中也存在 nestin、vimentin表达[13,14]。有研究发现大鼠羊膜细胞和人羊膜细胞中都表达nestin和vimentin因子[15-19]。SSEA-4被认为是特异性人胚胎干细胞和卵泡期胚胎早期卵裂的标记物,也被视为成体间充质干细胞的标记物[20]。Ilancheran等与他的同事MIKI等分别通过实验证明了人羊膜上皮细胞表达胚胎干细胞表面标记物SSEA-4[1,21]。本实验通过细胞免疫荧光方法检测出大鼠羊膜细胞表达nestin、vimentin和SSEA-4。

NGF和BDNF都是神经营养因子家族中成员。NGF同时也是一种信号分子[22],缺乏NGF对神经元的营养作用,神经元会出现凋亡[23]。BDNF可促进神经元的存活并能支持神经元和突触的生长和分化[3]。BDNF可减少突触丧失、矫正部分异常基因表达、阻止神经元萎缩且改善与年龄相关的认知障碍,提高学习记忆能力[24,25]。研究人员发现人羊膜上皮细胞和人羊膜间充质细胞可合成释放神经营养因子BDNF、NGF和NT-3,其他的神经营养因子通过细胞培养后检测没有表达[2,12,26,27]。多个实验证实通过移植人羊膜细胞到损伤部位能修复受损伤的神经元,BDNF的表达水平同时增加[28-30],说明人羊膜细胞很可能通过释放BDNF来修复损伤神经元的功能。本实验中通过细胞免疫荧光方法也发现大鼠羊膜细胞表达神经营养因子BDNF和NGF。

人羊膜间充质细胞可表达间充质细胞标记物CD29、CD44、CD73、CD90、CD166和CD105,不表达骨髓造血标记物CD34和CD45、单核细胞标记物CD114和巨噬细胞标记物 CD11b[1,31,32]。Murphy等在研究人羊膜上皮细胞特点时发现,人羊膜上皮细胞表达上皮粘附分子EpCAM,几乎不表达CD90和CD105[33]。而人羊膜间充质细胞表达 CD90、CD73和CD105,其表达量都在95%以上,CD45、CD34表达量少于2%[34]。Bailo等发现人羊膜细胞表达CD105、CD73、CD90和CD29,不表达CD34、CD45、CD14和CD3[18]。本实验中通过流式细胞术方法检测到大鼠羊膜细胞表达CD29和CD44,不表达CD90、CD45,少量表达CD11b。

羊膜细胞易于分离培养,细胞生长速度快,免疫原性低,并有向三个胚层分化的潜能,在相关疾病的治疗中具有很好的前景。本实验较为系统地检测了大鼠羊膜细胞的四类干细胞标记物,发现大鼠羊膜细胞可表达干细胞表面标记物Oct-4和Sox-2、胚胎干细胞标记物SSEA-4、间充质干细胞标记物vimentin和神经干细胞标记物nestin,并同时还表达神经生长因子BDNF和NGF。由此,我们推测大鼠羊膜细胞很可能具有某些间充质干细胞和神经干细胞的特性,为相关基础研究和神经系统疾病的治疗提供了一些线索。

Objective To isolate and identify the rat amniotic cells and to explore their stem cell characteristics,so as to find a new cell source for stem cell transplantation.Methods Rat amnion tissue was mechanically separated from 18-18.5-day old SPF pregnant rats and 0.25%trysin-EDTA digestion was used to obtain amniotic cells.The isolated cells were cultured with DMEM D-glucose added with 10 μg/L EGF.Flow cytometry was used to detect the mesenchyme stem cellsurface markers.Neural stem cell surface markers of the rat amniotic cells were detected using immunofluorescence staining.Results The rat amniotic membrane tissue was separated and mesenchymal stem cells were cultured successfully.The cells were ameboid-shaped and showed adherent growth,and can stably proliferate in short term.Afterculture,the cells expressed stem cell markers e.g.Oct-4 and Sox-2,mesenchymal stem cell markers e.g.vimentin,embryonic stem cell markers e.g.SSEA-4,neural stem cell marker e.g.nestin,and could also express neurotrophic factors,such as BDNF and NGF.Conclusions Rat amniotic cells express mesenchymal stem cells markers,neural stem cell markers and neurotrophic factors,therefore,provide an experiment basis for further research and application of rat amniotic cells in stem cell transplantation.
