目的 观察骨形态发生蛋白-2(BMP-2)对人脐带间充质干细胞(hUCMSCs)增殖和分化的影响.方法 体外培养hUCMSCs,在培养基中加入20 mg/L BMP-2,噻唑蓝(MTT)比色法观察BMP-2对hUCMSCs的增殖效果,流式细胞术检测BMP-2作用后细胞表面STRO-1的表达,逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测量BMP-2作用后hUCMSCs骨桥蛋白(OPN)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、Ⅰ型胶原蛋白(COL1)的mRNA表达变化,碱性磷酸酶染色观察hUCMSCs在BMP-2培养基作用下ALP染色变化,Von kossa染色实验观察BMP-2对hUCMSCs钙结节的形成.结果 细胞在未加BMP-2和加BMP-2培养基中培养1、3、5、7 d,虽然细胞的增殖率上升,但各组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),同时发现在2%血清的培养基中培养7 d后,hUCMSCs的增殖促进约10%左右.BMP-2培养7 d后细胞表面STRO-1阳性细胞比例上升明显,由25.1±4.0上升至51.1±6.4,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01).BMP-2培养条件下COL1 mRNA的表达增强,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),OPN mRNA出现表达,ALP mRNA比无BMP-2培养明显增强,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).在BMP-2培养条件下ALP染色出现大片细胞阳性染色.在培养28 d,Von kossa染色出现明显的钙结节.结论 BMP-2对hUCMSCs成骨诱导分化作用明显,而增殖作用很弱.
Objective To study the effects of the bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in vitro. Methods hUCMSCs were cultured in vitro, and BMP-2 (20 mg/L) was added into the culture medium. The proliferation effect of BMP-2 on hUCMSCs was examined by MTT assay. The proportion of antigen-positive cells for STRO-1 was observed by flow cytometry (FCM). The osteopontin ( OPN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and type 1 collagen ( COL1 ) mRNA levels was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR). The ALP activity was tested by ALP staining array. Von Kossa staining method was used to study the calcification effects. Results The proliferation rate was increased 1-, 3-,5-, 7-day BMP-2 (20 mg/L) groups and no BMP-2 group, but there was no statistically significant difference among groups (P 〉 0. 05). When the concentration of serum in the culture medium decreased from 10% to 2%, the proliferation was just increasing 10% and no different between BMP-2 group and no BMP-2 group (P〉0.05). The percentages of STRO-1 positive cells was increasing from 25.1 ±4.0 to 51.1 ±6.4 after culture with BMP-2( P 〈 0.01 ). The BMP-2 increased the ALP and COL1 gene expression, induced the OPN gene expression. A lot of hUCMSCs was positive in ALP staining array in BMP-2 medium. Many mineralized nodes was detected in the Von kossa staining method after culture 28 days in the BMP-2 medium.Conclusion BMP-2 can promote the osteogenic differentiation,and have a little effect on the prolferation of hUCMSCs.
