目的:研究骨髓间充质干细胞(BM-MSC)对MRL/lpr狼疮鼠B淋巴细胞活化及AKT/GSK3信号通路的影响。方法:从C57/BL6小鼠骨髓细胞中分离培养BM-MSC,用不同剂量的BM-MSC移植治疗MRL/lpr狼疮鼠,4周后免疫磁珠分选出B淋巴细胞,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期,Western Blot检测AKT/GSK3β信号通路相关蛋白表达变化。结果:狼疮鼠B淋巴细胞体外刺激后s期比例明显增多,中、高剂量BM-MSC移植治疗能降低刺激后的狼疮鼠B淋巴细胞s期比例,并增加细胞周期蛋白p27^Kip1的表达。BM-MSC移植治疗能抑制B淋巴细胞phospho—AKT^Thr308及phospho-GSK3β^Ser9。的表达。结论:中、高剂量BM—MSC移植治疗能抑制狼疮鼠B淋巴细胞的异常活化,并抑制AKT/GSK3β信号通路的异常活化。
Objective:To investigate the effect of BM-MSC in regulating the cell cycle and the expression of AKT/GSK3β signal pathway of B lymphocytes from MRL/lpr lupus mice. Methods: BM-MSC were separated from C57/BL6 mice and cultured for the following experiments. Lupus mice were divided into 4 groups receiying BM-MSC transplantation in different concentrations re- spectively. Four weeks after transplantation, B lymphocytes were isolated by magnetic activated cell sorting. Cell cycles were detected by FACScan flow cytometer. The expressions of AKT/ GSK3β signal pathway were measured by Western-blotting. Results:The population of S phase of activated B lymphocytes from lupus mice increased compared to control group. Activated B lym- phocytes from lupus mice receiving middle or high dose BM-MSC transplantation were accumulated at G0/G1 checkpoint. The expressions of phospho-AKT^Thr308 and phospho-GSK3β^ser9 decreased while p27^Kip1 increased in the groups treated with BM-MSC. Conclusion:Middle or high-dose BM- MSC treatment had an inhibitory effect on G1/S transition of the abnormal lupus B lym-phocytes. BM-MSC could also inhibit abnormal activation of the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway of B cellsfrom MRL/lpr mice.
