目的探讨氧还蛋白过氧化物2基因在表皮干细胞向汗腺细胞分化过程中对表型改变的影响。方法分离培养健康包皮获取表皮干细胞,分离培养健康成人皮肤获取汗腺细胞,以免疫荧光细胞化学染色鉴定。慢病毒载体介导的氧还蛋白过氧化物2基因分为过表达组、敲低表皮干细胞组及空白对照组,RT.PCR和WesternBlot技术分别在基因和蛋白水平检测3组的氧还蛋白过氧化物2表达。每组分别通过Transwell板与汗腺细胞共培养,流式细胞术检测共培养前、后表皮干细胞CEA和B1整合素的表达情况。结果表皮干细胞及汗腺细胞符合其相应特异性抗原。共培养前表皮干细胞B1整合素高表达(98.69±0.67)%,CEA几乎不表达(6.20±3.15)%;共培养后B1整合素表达程度:敲低组(19.30±0.53)%〈空白对照组(65.77±2.32)%〈过表达组(92.63±10.97)%;共培养后CEA表达程度:敲低组(95.43±2.36)%〉空白对照组(51.20±0.79)%〉过表达组(45.91±0.93)%。以上结果组间比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论氧还蛋白过氧化物2基因可抑制表皮干细胞向汗腺细胞分化的表型改变,并可提高保留其本身特异性抗原表达水平的能力。
Objective To investigate the effects of PRX-2 gene on phenotype changes in epidermal stem cells differentiating into sweat gland cells. Methods Epidermal stem ceils and sweat gland cells separated and cultured from healthy foreskin and adult full-thick skin respectively, were identified by immunofluorescence staining. Lentiviral vector-mediated overexpression and knockdown of PRX-2 gene in epidermal stem cells were performed respectively, with empty vector-mediated epidermal stem cells as a control group. Overexpression,hlank control and knowdown group's PRX-2 expressions in gene and protein levels were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot technology. The ESCs of each group were co-cultured with sweat gland cells through transwell plate, and the expressions of CEA and β1 integrin in epidermal stem cells were determined by flow cytometry before and after co-culturing. Results Epidermal stem cells and sweat gland cells were in line with their respective specific antigens. Before co-cultured, epidermal stem cells highly expressed β1 integrin (98.69 ± 0.67 )% , hardly expressed CEA (6.20 ± 3.15 ) %. After co-cultured, β1 integrin expression levels were showed as knockdown group (19.30 ± 0. 53 )% 〈 blank control group (65.77 ± 2.32) % 〈 overexpress group (92.63 ± 10. 97 ) % , and CEA expression levels as knockdown ( 95.43 ± 2.36) % 〉 blank control group ( 51.20 ±0.79) % 〉 overexpress group (45.91±0.93)%. There had significant differences between those of each two groups. Conclusions PRX-2 gene can inhibit the phenotypic change of Epidermal Stem Cells differentiating into Sweat Gland Ceils and improve the ability to maintain their own specific antigens.
