摘要
目的:通过检测端粒酶活性(TMA)在原代大鼠边缘群及非边缘群肝细胞中表达差异,探讨边缘群细胞是否具有肝脏干细胞的部分特征.方法:原位两步胶原酶法分离大鼠肝细胞.应用流式荧光激活细胞分选术(FACS)将肝细胞分成边缘群(SP)及非边缘群(Non-SP),并定量分析两群细胞中TMA水平.结果:存在SP细胞并占细胞总体2.1%,SP细胞TMA高于Non-SP细胞(28.1±1.3vs2.0±0.2TPG,P<0.01).结论:大鼠边缘群肝细胞具有更强的自我更新能力,即具有干细胞的部分特征.
AIM: To detect the telomerase activity in side population (SP) and Non-SP of primary rat hepatic cells so as to explore whether the SP hepatic cells express some characteristics of liver stem cells. METHODS: Primary rat hepatic cells were isolated by two-step /n situ collagenase perfusion. SP cells were identified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis. Telomerase activity (TMA) in SP and Non-SP cells was quantitated. RESULTS: SP cells were present and accounted for 2. 1% of primary rat hepatic cells. TMA was much more expressed in SP cells (28.1 ±1.3 vs2.0±0.2, P〈0.01). CONCLUSION: SP of primary rat hepatic cells has stronger self-renewal capability and possesses some characteristics of stem cells.
