KM小鼠胚胎干细胞大鼠纹状体内移植诱导分化的在体研究

THE STUDY OF DIFFERENTIATION OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AFTER TRANSPLANTATION INTO STRIATUM

目的探讨体外培养扩增的胚胎干细胞移植到纹状体内的存活、迁移和分化情况,确定胚胎干细胞脑内移植的最佳分化阶段。方法分别将未分化的胚胎干细胞和诱导分化至神经前体细胞阶段的胚胎干细胞进行纹状体内移植,移植4周后通过形态学观察、尼氏染色、TH与BrdU免疫组织化学染色,检测胚胎干细胞移植后的存活和分化情况。结果初步诱导分化后的胚胎干细胞纹状体内移植后4周,移植区内有大量BrdU免疫阳性细胞出现,而且部分BrdU免疫阳性细胞已迁移出移植区,有些细胞已分化为TH免疫阳性细胞,胞浆内可见尼氏体;而未分化的胚胎干细胞进行脑内移植后有成瘤的趋向。结论在体外对胚胎干细胞进行诱导分化至神经前体细胞阶段,然后进行脑内移植,更有利于胚胎干细胞的存活和部位特异性分化。

Objective To explore the survival,migration and differentiation of embryonic stem cells after transplantation into striatum and provide advantageous data for feasibility and safety of therapeutic transplantation. Methods We transplanted embryonic stem cells(undifferentiated ESCs and ESCs that had already developed into the stage of neural progenitor cells respectively) into striatum of the rat.Then differentiated cells were determined by morphological observation,Nissl's staining,TH and BrdU immunocytochemistry. Results We found that after transplanted 4 weeks,partially differentiated ESCs could survive and migrate into the surrounding host tissue.Some of them differentiated into TH-positive cells which had Nissl's bodies in cytoplasm.Whereas undifferentiated ESCs couldn't differentiate into TH-positive cells effectively and have the tendency to form tumor.Conclusion When conducting transplantation experiments of ESCs,it's better for ESCs to be induced into the stage of neural progenitor cells first and then transplanted.;
