目的:利用Notehl的胞内段(Notchl intracellular domain,NICD)基因过表达载体建立稳定过表达NICD的人牙髓干细胞(dental pulp stem cells,DPSCs)株,观察NICD过表达对DPSCs增殖、迁移能力的影响。方法:构建含NICD过表达的慢病毒颗粒,并将其转染至DPSCs构建过表达NICD的细胞株(DPSCs/NICD);以DPSCs/NICD为实验组,正常细胞株(DPSCs/wt)和空病毒转染的空载组(DPSCs/vector)作为对照,通过RT—PCR和Western Blot检测NICDmRNA及其蛋白的表达;细胞免疫荧光观察NICD在DPSCs上的表达位置;CCK8法检测细胞的增殖情况;流式细胞技术检测细胞周期中S期的改变;Transwll检测细胞的迁移能力。结果:与DPSCs/wt组和DPSCs/vector组相比,DPSCs/NICD组的NICDmRNA及其蛋白表达水平均明显增强(P〈0.05),表达位置在胞膜、胞浆及胞核;细胞的增殖速度加快、细胞周期中S期比例升高、迁移能力增强。结论:NICD过表达使DPSCs细胞的增殖和迁移能力增强。
AIM: To observe the effects of Notch l intracellular domain(NICD) overexpression on the proliferation and migration of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). METHODS : NICD over-expressing lentivirus was constructed. DPSCs were transfected with the NICD over-expressing lentivirus. DPSCs/NICD cells, non-transfected cells (DPSCs/wt) and vector transfected ceils (DPSCs/vector) were cultured respectively, mRNA and protein expression of NICD in the cells was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Cell proliferation was observed with CCK8 colorimeter. Cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry. Cell migration was detected by Transwll method. RESULTS : NICD mRNA and protein expression was higher in DPSCs/NICD cells than in DPSCs/wt and DPSCs/vector cells (P 〈 0.05). DPSCs/NICD cells showed faster proliferation, stronger migration ability and more cells in S phase. CONCLUSION: NICD overpression may enhance cell proliferation and migration of DPSCs.
