TRPV4调控人源诱导性多能干细胞来源的间充质干细胞成骨分化的体外细胞实验

TRPV4 regulates osteogenic differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cell derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro

  • 摘要:
    摘要:背景 间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells,MSCs)在骨缺损修复中的作用至关重要。有研究发现瞬时受体电位香草素通道蛋白4(transient receptor potential vanillin channel protein 4,TRPV4)可促进骨细胞成骨,但其在MSCs中的作用尚未明确。目的 探讨 TRPV4 对人源诱导性多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPSCs)来源的间充质干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cell derived mesenchymal stem cells,iMSCs)成骨分化的影响。方法 将iPSCs诱导成iMSCs,流式细胞术检测细胞表型;成骨、成脂、成软骨分化鉴定细胞的多向分化能力;对 iMSCs 进行成骨诱导,利用实时定量 PCR 和Westernblot技术分别检测在诱导后的不同时间点成骨相关基因表达和TRPV4的基因和蛋白表达;茜素红染色检测小分子激动剂(GSK101)和抑制剂(GSK219)调控TRPV4功能对iMSCs成骨分化后钙盐沉积的影响;在不同硬度基质表面培养iMSCs,实时定量PCR和Westernblot法分别检测TRPV4 基因和蛋白表达。结果 本实验诱导的iMSCs具有间充质来源干细胞的典型特征;iMSCs 成骨分化后成骨相关基因 mRNA 表达增加(P<0.01),TRPV4 基因 mRNA 和蛋白表达均增加(P<0.01);GSK101激动TRPV4剂处理后iMSCs后茜素红染色面积较对照组增加(P<0.01),TRPV4拮抗剂GSK219处理iMSCs后茜素红染色面积较对照组减少(P<0.01);在表面具有高硬度基质的细胞培养板上培养的iMSCs,其TRPV4基因mRNA和蛋白表达增加(P<0.01)。结论 TRPV4在iMSCs成骨分化过程中发挥正向调控作用;通过增加培养基质硬度可促进TRPV4表达从而调节iMSCs的成骨分化。

     

    Abstract: Abstract: Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are crucial for the healing of bone defects. Some studies have found that transient receptor potential vanillin channel protein 4 (TRPV4) can promote bone formation in bone cells, but its role in mesenchymal stem cells is not clear.Objective To investigate the effect of TRPV4 on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).Methods iPSCs were induced into iMSCs and their phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry. The differentiation ability of osteoblastic, lipogenic and chondrogenic cells was evaluated.The expression of osteogenic genes and TRPV4 were found at various stages following osteogenic induction of iMSCs by using real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively. Alizarin red staining was used to detect the effects of TRPV4 small molecule agonist (GSK101) and inhibitor (GSK219) treatment of iMSCs on calcium salt deposition. iMSCs were cultured on different hardness substrates, and TRPV4 gene and protein expression were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results The iMSCs induced by this experiment had the typical characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells. After osteogenic differentiation of iMSCs, the expressions of osteogenic mRNAs and the expressions of TRPV4 mRNA and protein were all increased.The alizarin red staining area of iMSCs treated with TRPV4 agonist GSK101 increased significantly compared with the control group, which was opposite in the TRPV4 antagonist GSK219 group. mRNA and protein expression of TRPV4 gene increased after iMSCs were cultured on a cell culture plate with a high hardness substrate.Conclusion TRPV4 plays a positive regulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of iMSCs. The increased hardness of the culture matrix can regulate the osteogenic differentiation of iMSCs by promoting TRPV4 expression. The results of this study expand the understanding of the osteogenic differentiation process of iMSCs, and provide new ideas for regulating the osteogenic differentiation of iMSCs and promoting the effect of clinical transplantation to repair bone defects.
