目的:寻找一种简单、快速、更有效的检测心脏细胞增殖的方法,以探讨损伤心脏再生潜能的机制。方法:取小鼠不同时期(胚胎、新生及成年期)及不同生理状态下(健康、心肌梗死后)心脏行组织冰冻切片后,用免疫荧光染色法分别标记心脏细胞:心肌细胞(心脏特异转录因子Nkx 2.5和Gata 4,心肌特异性标记蛋白TnT),内皮细胞(CD34),血管平滑肌细胞(SMMIgG),心脏干细胞(IsL1,Tbx18和Wt1);在此基础上用EdU染色法检测不同心脏细胞的增殖能力。结果:EdU能强烈地标记不同时期及不同生理状态下小鼠心脏细胞的增殖;心梗后心脏细胞进入细胞增殖周期,但增殖能力非常有限。结论:EDU可简单、快速、更有效的检测心脏细胞增殖,为探讨损伤心脏再生潜能机制提供了新的方法。
Objective:To find a rapid and sensitive method in identificating cardiac cellular proliferation in order to understand the underlying mechanisms and strategies of cardiac regeneration.Methods:The following immunologically related markers of cardiac cells were analyzed:cardiac transcription factors Nkx 2.5and Gata 4;specific marker of cardiomyocytes TnT;endothelial cell marker CD34;vascular smooth muscle marker smooth muscle myosin IgG(SMM);cardiac resident stem cells markers IsL1,Tbx18,and Wt1.Results:Markers were co-localized in cardiac tissues of embryonic,neonatal,adult,and pathological samples by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining.EdU was also used to label isolated neonatal cardiomyocytes in vitro.EdU robustly labeled proliferating cells in vitro and in vivo,co-immunostaining with different cardiac cells markers.Conclusion:EdU can rapidly and sensitively label proliferating cardiac cells in developmental and pathological states.Cardiac cell proliferation assessed by EdU is a novel analytical tool for investigating the mechanism and strategies of cardiac regeneration in response to injury.
