Abstract

目的

探讨猪诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)体外定向分化为GABA能神经元前体的方法体系。

方法

猪iPSCs诱导分化为GABA能神经元前体遵循两个阶段,第1阶段,猪iPSCs悬浮培养,第3天时形成类胚体,采用神经诱导培养基NIM(SB431542、DMH1、FGF2)继续诱导,第12天分化为原始神经上皮细胞。第2阶段,使用含Pur、B27的NIM培养基悬浮培养形成神经球,至第21天时形成GABA能神经元前体。CM-DiI标记后,定向移植帕金森(PD)模型大鼠黑质纹状体,检测其在宿主脑内存活、迁移及分化状况。

结果

猪iPSCs在饲养层细胞上稳定传代,表达多能性标记OCT4、Nanog、SSEA1和TRA-160,并且核型分析显示没有其他物种来源细胞污染。第12天经诱导分化获得原始神经上皮细胞能够形成玫瑰花环结构,并表达其表面标记物(PAX6、SOX2和Nestin)与神经微管蛋白标志物Tuj1。第21天诱导细胞高表达GABA能神经元前体的表面特异性抗原NKX2.1和前脑标志物FOXG1。移植8周后,体内可分化为GABA能神经元与多巴胺能神经元,明显改善PD大鼠运动行为。

结论

结合无血清培养基筛选法逐步定向诱导猪iPSCs高效分化为前脑GABA能神经元前体,移植后能够显著改善PD大鼠的运动功能障碍,为诱导GABA能神经元前体移植治疗神经损伤疾病奠定基础。

2006年,有研究将4种转录因子Oct4、Sox2、c-Myc和Klf4转入成年小鼠皮肤成纤维细胞,获得与胚胎干细胞特征类似的细胞,并具有自我更新能力和多向分化潜能,命名为“诱导多能干细胞”(iPSCs)[1]。该技术是近年来干细胞领域中一个里程碑式的突破,它解决了干细胞应用由来已久的伦理学和免疫排斥等问题,具有无穷的开发潜力。

帕金森综合症(PD)的生化和病理改变不仅仅是由于黑质纹状体多巴胺能神经元缺失,可能与脑内重要的抑制性神经递质GABA的缺失也存在很大关系[2-3]。Martinez-Cerdeno实验组将胚胎来源的GABA能神经元前体移植到帕金森大鼠纹状体,75%移植细胞能分化为GABA能神经元,整合到宿主纹状体回路中,发挥功效改善帕金森大鼠运动行为[4],但有限的胚胎组织来源限制了其应用。iPSCs可以分化为各种组织细胞,使无限制备各种供体细胞成为可能[5-8]。因此iPSCs来源的GABA能神经元前体用于帕金森病等神经退行性疾病的治疗,具有极大的应用前景[9-10]

近年来,多能干细胞定向分化研究取得了显著进展。Goulburn等[11]将人胚胎干细胞(hESCs)分化为GABA能神经元前体,并提出维甲酸和成纤维细胞生长因子2(FGF2)在干细胞诱导GABA能神经元前体中发挥重要作用,但该方法诱导的前体细胞效率低,仅占总细胞数的10%。2012年,研究发现SHH信号在诱导的前脑腹侧NKX2.1+表达中起关键作用,他们采用改良的单层神经分化方案,辅以SHH处理,提高诱导效率,证明了腹侧前体细胞的产生数量随SHH剂量的增加而增加[12]。2013年,学者相继报道了从人诱导多能干细胞(hiPSCs)产生前脑GABA能神经元前体的方法,但这些方法需要多种小分子和/或生长因子的组合(SB431542+LSB+XAV939+SHH+Purmorphamine)或(SB431542 + BMPRIA- Fc + Dkk1 + Purmorphamine + Y27632),增加了实验成本和可变性[13-14]。同年,有研究仅使用高浓度的SHH或Pur激活hedgehog途径,就能将hiPSCs分步诱导分化为高纯度的GABA能神经元前体(大于90%)[15]。随后相继出现许多可以获得成熟GABA能神经元前体的分化方案[16-17],但是依然存在分化过程繁琐、耗时长等问题。2016年,有研究利用慢病毒转导的方法,仅需7 d就能高效地将hiPSCs诱导成GABA能神经元[18],此法体系为之后GABA能神经元的研究提供了很好的参考。

五指山小型猪来源的神经元在生理和生物学特性等方面与人类神经元具有高度相似性[19]。因此,猪来源细胞替代人类细胞,可能是一种有吸引力的异种神经移植供体材料[20]。目前五指山小型猪模型已被广泛应用于人类神经系统疾病的研究,但建立成熟猪GABA能神经元前体的报道却十分有限,因此亟须建立一个成熟的猪GABA能神经元前体的体外分化体系。本研究首次成功建立猪iPSCs到GABA能神经元前体的分化体系,并通过定向移植PD大鼠黑质纹状体区,观察移植细胞存活和分化情况,为研究PD的发病机制和探索新的治疗方法提供实验依据。

3. 讨论

目前,iPSCs的体内试验多局限于大小鼠,但是大小鼠无论在生理生化特征还是免疫特性上和人类都有很大的区别,尤其是对脊髓损伤与神经退行性病变,啮齿类模型往往不能有效地模拟疾病。并且能够实现长时间实验追踪的医学模型,大小鼠并不是最佳选择。为了实现大小鼠和人之间的过渡,我们注意到另外一种模式生物-猪,五指山小型猪的器官和人类器官大小相近,解剖生理、血液指标、免疫功能及50多项生理生化指标近似人类,被用作皮肤科或心脏科的供体材料,更适合作为人类疾病研究的动物模型[20, 22]。同时研究发现,猪和人的诱导多能干细胞系在维持多能性方面的信号通路具有相似性[23-24]

GABA能神经元属于抑制性神经元,它的丢失会导致一些神经系统疾病[25]。以细胞为基础治疗,旨在替代这些功能失调或受损的抑制细胞。本试验在Liu等[15]的研究基础上,首次成功建立猪iPSCs到GABA能神经元前体的分化体系。猪iPSCs经历21 d包括两个不同的分化阶段后分化形成GABA能神经元前体。本实验还发现经过PLO和Laminin双重包被的培养皿、适当的细胞接种密度将极大的提高存活率。这种无血清的分化体系,与之前的分化体系相比较,过程更简单,耗时更短。与Sun等[18]利用慢病毒转导将iPSCs诱导成GABA能神经元的方法相比,本实验采用在培养基中添加小分子化合物组合诱导法,既避免了使用病毒载体可能产生的外源基因插入,又提高了诱导效率,具有更高的生物安全性和应用潜力。

基于猪iPSCs的生长特性,本实验在Liu等[15]的研究基础上作了适当的调整:第1阶段,猪iPSCs形成EBs后,使用NIM培养基(含SB431542、DMH1、FGF2)成功诱导分化获得NECs,发现NIM(10% FBS)培养基更容易使EBs贴壁,并且培养时间由5~8 h延长至过夜,而适当密度接种细胞以及PLO-Laminin双包被培养皿,可增强NECs的黏附性;第2阶段,形成神经球后,使用NIM培养基(含Pur、B27)诱导得到GABA能神经元前体,并表达其特异性标志物,说明猪iPSCs成功分化为前脑GABA能神经元前体。第2阶段是本诱导方法最关键的部分,通过高浓度的Pur,激活hedgehog通路[15, 26],前脑内NKX2.1+细胞的数量和Pur的浓度呈剂量依赖性[12]。同时,为了维持特定神经前体的前脑同一性,要避免常用的神经诱导剂如维甲酸或有丝分裂原如(FGF2),因为它们在不同程度上尾化神经上皮[27]

将猪iPSCs-iGABA能神经元前体移植到6-OHDA损毁的大鼠黑质纹状体8周后,可以明显恢复PD大鼠的运动功能障碍与神经功能。而且,移植8周后,70%的iGABA能神经元前体细胞表达GABA,这些GABA能神经元可能负责调控纹状体兴奋性和抑制性信号的平衡,从而产生行为改变。此外,部分移植细胞分化为TH+神经元,TH在多巴胺的生物合成中起着重要的调节作用。供体源性TH+细胞(DA神经元)的成熟和增加以及与宿主脑之间突触的形成可能有助于功能恢复。因此,PD大鼠的行为改善可能与纹状体多巴胺能神经元、GABA能神经元的联合作用有关。

综上所述,本研究通过分步诱导法,成功将猪iPSCs诱导形成前脑GABA能神经元前体细胞,将其移植至PD大鼠脑黑质纹状体区,能够分化为功能性神经元,改善PD大鼠的运动功能障碍。猪iPSCs-iGABA能神经元前体的成功获取为帕金森病的治疗提供重要的细胞来源。
