目的:探讨炎症作用下Caspase-3/8对人牙龈间充质干细胞凋亡能力影响的研究,为探索牙龈炎的预防和治疗策略提供理论和实验依据。方法:取20~25岁拔除阻生齿牙切除的无炎症龈瓣和正畸过程中增生的牙龈组织,分离培养正常牙龈间充质干细胞(NGMSCs)和炎性牙龈间充质干细胞(IGMSCs)。Annexin V-FITC/PI双染检测相同培养条件下NGMSCs与IGMSCs凋亡率;应用PCR,免疫荧光法检测各组间Caspase-3,Caspase-8因子表达差异。结果:Annexin V-FITC/PI双染检测结果显示相同培养条件下IGMSCs凋亡率(10.44%)〉NGMSCs凋亡率(2.76%)。PCR结果显示IGMSCs组Caspase-3,Caspase-8表达显著高于NGMSCs组(P〈0.01)。IGMSCs组TNF-α,IL-1β基因表达显著高于NGMSCs组(P〈0.01)。结论:Caspase-3/8在牙龈间充质干细胞增殖、凋亡途径中起着重要调控作用。
Objective:To explore the the effect of Caspase-3/8on apoptosis of human gingival mesenchymal stem cells under inflammation.Methods:Gingival tissues with or without inflammation were obtained from the third impacted molars and gingival hyperplasia because of orthodontic treatment,respectively.Patients were all about 20-25 years old.Normal gingival mesenchymal stem cells(NGMSCs)and inflammatory gingival mesenchymal stem cells(IGMSCs)were isolated and cultured.Apoptosis rates of IGMSCs and NGMSCs were determined by VFITC/PI Annexin double staining.Caspase-3and Caspase-8expression differences were detected by Real-Time PCR.Results:Apoptosis rate of IGMSCs(10.44%)was significantly more than that of NGMSCs(2.76%).Expressions of Caspase-3and Caspase-8in IGMSCs group were significantly higher than those of NGMSCs group(P〈0.01)as well as TNF-αand IL-1βgene expressions.Conclusion:Caspase-3/8plays an important role in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of mesenchymal stem cells.
