摘要
目的:研究脂肪间充质干细胞(adipose tissue-derived stem cells,ADSCs)对博来霉素(bleomycin,BLM)诱导的硬皮病小鼠的治疗效果及其可能的作用机制。方法:选取C57BL/6J雌性小鼠24只,采用皮下注射BLM[2mg/(kg·d)]建立硬皮病小鼠模型,随机分为正常对照组、BLM组、ADSCs(皮下)组和ADSCs(静脉)组,每组6只,正常对照组给予生理盐水2 m L/(kg·d)皮下注射,其余3组分别给予BLM皮下注射,连续3周,然后,ADSCs皮下和尾静脉注射组分别给予皮下和尾静脉注射ADSCs(2×105个细胞)治疗,每4天1次,共3次。流式细胞术检测小鼠脾细胞中的辅助T细胞17(T-helper 17,TH17)及调节性T细胞(regulatory T cell,Treg),实时荧光定量聚合酶联反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)法检测小鼠肺组织中相关细胞因子的表达水平,酶联免疫吸附法(enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay,ELISA)检测小鼠血清中白介素(interleukin,IL)-6、转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor-β,TGF-β)的含量,苏木精-伊红染色(hematoxylin eosin staining,HE)观察小鼠的皮肤和肺组织病理学改变。结果:流式细胞术结果显示,BLM组较正常对照组小鼠脾细胞中TH17和Treg所占比例升高(15.30%±1.29%vs.4.32%±0.79%;9.90%±1.95%vs.5.18%±1.35%,P均<0.05),经ADSCs治疗后,TH17所占比例降低(5.02%±0.83%,6.00%±0.82%vs.15.30%±1.29%,P均<0.05),而Treg所占比例升高(14.32%±1.59%,11.09%±4.31%vs.9.90%±1.95%,P均<0.05)。与正常对照组相比,BLM组小鼠肺组织中IL-17、IL-6、肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)的mRNA表达水平及血清中IL-6的含量均升高[3.54±0.30,10.65±0.66,5.37±0.52 vs.1.00±0.00;(21.2±1.74)ng/L vs.(16.87±1.09)ng/L,P均<0.05],ADSCs治疗后,其表达量下降[1.63±0.45,1.50±0.29 vs.3.54±0.30;3.11±0.85,2.98±0.76 vs.10.65±0.66;1.45±0.47,1.59±0.41 vs.5.37±0.52;(17.87±1.45)ng/L,(17.61±1.16)ng/L vs.(21.2±1.74)ng/L,P均<0.05],ADSCs(皮下)组和ADSCs(静脉)组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。BLM组小鼠血清中TGF-β的含量较正常对照组升高[(33.95±2.49)ng/L vs.(28.8±2.29)ng/L,P<0.05],但小鼠肺组织中TGF-βmRNA的表达水平与正常对照组之间差异无统计学意义(1.17±0.11 vs.1.00±0.00,P>0.05),经ADSCs治疗后TGF-β基因和蛋白的表达无明显变化[1.25±0.11,1.26±0.12 vs.1.17±0.11;(31.84±2.04)ng/L,(31.25±2.36)ng/L vs.(33.95±2.49)ng/L,P>0.05]。HE染色结果显示,BLM组与正常对照组相比,肺组织有大量炎性细胞浸润,肺泡间隔断裂或消失;皮肤真皮层增厚,有大量的胶原纤维积聚,经ADSCs治疗后小鼠肺组织炎症有所改善,皮肤的真皮层变薄,胶原纤维积聚减少。结论:ADSCs可以有效缓解硬皮病小鼠肺的炎症和皮肤的纤维化症状,其抗炎和抗纤维化作用与其免疫调节功能有关。
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of adipose-derived stem cells( ADSCs) on bleomycin-induced mice of scleroderma. Methods: In the study,24 C57BL/6J femalemice were randomly divided into control group,bleomycin( BLM) group,ADSCs( hypodermic injection)group and ADSCs( intravenous injection) group. BLM [2 mg /( kg·d) ] was injected into the mice to establish the model of scleroderma. There were 6 mice in each group. The control group mice were injected with normal saline 2 mL /( kg·d) by subcutaneously. The rest of the three groups were injected with BLM. ADSCs groups were injected with ADSCs( 2 × 105) subcutaneously and intravenously,respectively. T-helper 17( Th17) and regulatory T cell( Treg cell) of spleen cells were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of cytokines in the lung tissue and in the serum were detected by real-time fluorescence quantification. Real-time polymerase chain reaction( PCR) and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay( ELISA). The pathology change of skin and lung tissue was observed by hematoxylin eosin( HE) staining. Results: The proportion of Th17 and Treg increased in BLM group than in control group( 15. 30% ± 1. 29% vs. 4. 32% ± 0. 79%; 9. 90% ± 1. 95% vs. 5. 18% ± 1. 35%,P〈0. 05),the expression of Th17 significantly decreased( 5. 02% ± 0. 83%,6. 00% ± 0. 82% vs. 15. 30% ± 1. 29%,P〈0. 05) and the expression of Treg increased after the ADSCs therapy( 14. 32 % ± 1. 59 %,11. 09% ± 4. 31% vs. 9. 90% ± 1. 95%,P〈0. 05). The expression levels of IL-17,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) mRNA in the lung tissue and IL-6 in the serum increased in BLM group than in control group [3. 54 ± 0. 30,10. 65 ± 0. 66,5. 37 ± 0. 52 vs. 1. 00 ± 0. 00;( 21. 2 ± 1. 74) ng / L vs.( 16. 87 ± 1. 09) ng /L,P〈0. 05]. The expression of these cytokines significant decreased after the ADSCs therapy [1. 63 ± 0. 45,1. 50 ± 0. 29 vs. 3. 54 ± 0. 30; 3. 11 ± 0. 85,2. 98 ± 0. 76 vs. 10. 65 ± 0. 66;1. 45 ± 0. 47,1. 59 ± 0. 41 vs. 5. 37 ± 0. 52;( 17. 87 ± 1. 45) ng / L,( 17. 61 ± 1. 16) ng / L vs.( 21. 2 ± 1. 74) ng /L,P〈0. 05]. But there was no obvious difference between ADSCs( hypodermic injection) group and ADSCs( intravenous injection) group( P〈0. 05). The expression of TGF-β in the serum increased in BLM group than in control group[( 33. 95 ± 2. 49) ng / L vs.( 28. 8 ± 2. 29) ng / L,P〈0. 05],however,the expression of TGF-β mRNA had no significant differences than that of control group( 1. 17 ± 0. 11 vs. 1. 00 ± 0. 00,P〈0. 05). The expression of TGF-β mRNA and protein had no significant differences than that of BLM group [1. 25 ± 0. 11,1. 26 ± 0. 12 vs. 1. 17 ± 0. 11;( 31. 84 ±2. 04) ng / L,( 31. 25 ± 2. 36) ng / L vs.( 33. 95 ± 2. 49) ng / L,P〈0. 05]. HE staining showed that the inflammation of lung tissue was relieved and the dermal thickness and collagen deposition were decreased after the ADSCs therapy. Conclusion: ADSCs could effectively alleviate inflammation of the lungs and fibrosis of skin; the effects of anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis were associated with immune regulating function.
