目的探讨正常鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(BM—MSCs)移植对MRI/lpr狼疮鼠B细胞活化因子(BAFF)表达及B细胞活化的影响。方法18只雌性MRL/lpr鼠随机分为MSCs治疗组和对照组,18周龄时治疗组经尾静脉移植MSCs 1×l0^6/只;5只同周龄雌性BALB/C小鼠作为健康阴性对照。酶联免疫吸附试验(EuSA)法检测血清BAFF、干扰素(IFN)-γ、向细胞介素(IL)-2、IL-10水平,流式细胞术检测脾脏中边缘区、T1期、T2期B细胞百分率及细胞数。结果①MSCs治疗8周后,治疗组血清BAFF水平[(32±14)ng/ml]显著低于对照组[(47±13)ng/ml](P〈0.05);血清IL-10[(19±7)pg/ml]显著低于对照组[(40±13)pg/ml](P〈0.01);血清IFN-γ、IL-2低于对照组[(26±20)pg/ml与(38±25)pg/ml、(73±10)pg/ml与(80±14)pg/ml],但差异无统计学意义。②MSCs治疗8周后,可降低治疗组脾脏边缘区B细胞百分率(15±4)%,对照组为(21±5)%,但差异无统计学意义,并能显著降低边缘区B细胞数[(9±6)×10s与(19±10)x106;p〈0.0530③MSCs治疗8周后,可降低治疗组脾脏T1期、T2期B细胞百分率[(3.4±2.1)%与(7.3±4.0)%]、[(2.6+1.4)%与(4.8-+2.7)%],但差异无统计学意义,并能显著降低T1期B细胞绝对数[(2.7±1.7)×10^6与(5.1±2.0)×10^6 P〈0.05]、T2期B细胞绝对数[(2.0±1.2)×10^6与(3.7±1.7)×10^6,P〈0.0530结论BM—MSCs移植可能通过抑制体内BAFF的过量表达,进而抑制狼疮鼠B细胞的过度活化。
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of murine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) transplantation on B-cell activating factor (BAFF) expression and B cell activation of MRL/lpr mice. Methods Eighteen female MRL/lpr mice were divided into the treatment group and the control group. Five female BAL B/C mice were used as negative controls. At the age of 18 weeks, the treatment group was transplanted with 1::〈106 murine BM-MSCs through vena caudalis, the control group was treated with 0.5ml sodium chloride. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the level of the BAFF, IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-10 in the serum. The percentage and numbers of Marginal zone, T1 and T2 B cells in spleen were detected by flow cytometry. Results ① Eight weeks after transplantation, the level of BAFF [(32±14) ng/ml] in serum of the treatment group decreased significantly than the control group [(47±13) ng/ml] (P〈0.05) as well as the level of serum IL-10, IFN-γ and 1L-2 levels [(19±7) vs (40±13) pg/ml] (P〈0.01) [(25±20) pg/ml vs (38±25) pg/ml] [(73±10) pg/ml vs (80±15) pg/ml]. ② Eight weeks after trans-plantation, the mice in the treatment group had lower percentages of marginal zone B cells [ ( 15±4)% vs (21±5)%], and the numbers of marginal zone B cells were significantly decreased in the treatment group as compared with the control group [(9±6)×10^6 vs (19±10)×10^6, P〈0.051. ① Eight weeks after transplantation, the mice in the treatment group had lower percentages of TI and T2 B cells[(3.4±2.1 )% vs (7.3±4.0)% ][(2.6±1.4)% vs (4.8±2.7)%], and the numbers of T1 [(2.7±1.7)×10^6 vs (5.1±2.0)×10^6, P〈0.05] and T2 B cells [ ( 2.0±1.2 )×10^6 vs ( 3.7±1.7 )×10^6, P〈0.05 ] were both significantly decreased in the treatment group as compared with the control group. Conclusion BM-MSCs transplantation decreases the expression of BAFF in association with the diminish
