摘要:目的:探讨BMP9与Relaxin在诱导间充质干细胞成骨分化过程中的协同作用。方法:以小鼠脂肪来源永生化间充质干细胞iMads作为诱导细胞,用采用腺病毒方式实现Relaxin与BMP9共表达,采用碱性磷酸酶,钙盐沉积实验及PCR等方式观察Relaxin对BMP9诱导的间充质干细胞成骨分化的影响。结果:Relaxin增强BMP9诱导的碱性磷酸酶Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)活性的增加,获取更多钙盐沉积。Realtime PCR提示成骨相关因子Runx2及Osx表达明显增加,同时PPAR-γ表达也明显下降,但并没有促进骨桥蛋白的表达。结论:Relaxin可协同BMP9介导的间充质干细胞成骨分化。

Objective: To investigate the synergistic effects of bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) and Relaxin on inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.Methods: Immunized mouse adipocyte derived mesenchymal stem cells (IMADs) were used as seed cells. Adenovirus was used to co-express Relaxin and BMP9. The effects of Relaxin on osteogenic differentiation of BMP9-induced mesenchymal stem cells were investigated by alkaline phosphatase assay, calcium salt deposition assay and PCR in vitro and ectopic bone formation on null mice in vivo.Results: Relaxin enhanced the BMP9-induced ALP activity and resulted in increased calcium salt deposition. Realtime PCR test indicated that the expressions of osteogenic factors Runx2 and OSX were significantly increased but not OPN. Relaxin also enhance BMP9-induced ectopic bone formation with less adipogenic differentiation .Conclusion: Relaxin may collaborate with BMP9-mediated osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

背景:
骨缺损是当前临床面临的重要挑战[1]。采用成骨诱导因子对干细胞进行诱导以获取具有生理活性的生物工程骨是目前研究的热点[2]。在 BMP家族(bone morphogenetic protein family)成员中,BMP9被证明具有最强的成骨诱导能力,在体内外均具有较强的成骨能力。研究表明BMP9可诱导多种来源的间充质干细胞成骨分化表达成骨因子 [3]。虽然BMP9具有较强的成骨能力,但在生物工程骨构建方面仍存在着诱导能力不足的问题。通过多分子组合获取成骨最大化具有相当的现实意义。
Relaxin (Rln)是结构相关激素胰岛素/Rln家族的成员,可通过激活 Rxfps膜受体发挥自分泌、内分泌和旁分泌作用。最近,Rln受体不仅在生殖组织中被发现,而且在骨骼组织包括成骨细胞、破骨细胞、骨细胞也存在表达,这提示Rln可能在骨生长发育中具有生理意义[4]。然而Relaxin在间充质干细胞分化为成骨细胞和体内骨形成的作用仍然未知。Moon等人在JMBR的研究发现BMP2所诱导的成骨作用可以被Relaxin表达增强,初步证明了Rln在間充质干细胞成骨分化中的作用[5]。……
