Concept formation of non-expansion technology in stem cell therapy and its application prospect DAI Ke-rong JOURNAL OF SHANGHAI JIAOTONG UNIVERSITY (MEDICAL SCIENCE)    2020, 40 (10): 1318-1320.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2020.10.002 Abstract （512）      PDF（pc） （4998KB）（239）       Knowledge map    Save Stem cell research starting in the 20th century has opened a magical door for clinical cell therapy. However, stem cell therapy has been only promoted in blood diseases up to now, while in other clinical fields, it still remains in the stage of slow development. One of the important restrictions is that the clinical application of stem cells usually need in vitro expansion, resulting in consequences such as the longtime-culture process, tendency to contaminate, high cost, and physical and chemical impact factors, and these could in a certain extent increase the risk both in pre- and post-treatment. As for the use of embryonic stem cells, it could be questioned by ethics for the harvest, the use of animal serum, and the non-diploid unstable cells that may appear after stem cell expansion in vitro. Then, some non-expansion technologies, such as the centrifugation technology, immunomagnetic beads technology, and stem cell screen-enrich-combine（-biomaterials） circulating system, have gradually been paid more attentions, and formed the new concept that are continuously developed. By these techniques, efficient therapeutic doses of stem cells could be obtained without culture in vitro, and the stem cells could be transplanted directly. These technologies have gradually shown good prospects in clinical application and promotion. Related Articles | Metrics

Methods · 10 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was used to stimulate nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. The expression of inflammation and cartilage-related genes, including matrix metalloproteinase 3 (Mmp 3), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin 5 (Adamts 5), aggrecan and collagen typeⅡa1 (Col2a1), were measured and compared by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction with ginsenoside Re concentration varying from 12.5-50 μmol/L. After stimulation of NP cells with 10 ng/mL TNF-α, the amounts of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway-related proteins were measured by using Western blotting with or without 50 μmol/L ginsenoside Re. Twelve 8-week-old rats were used to make coccyx degeneration models (coccygeal vertebrae 6/7 as sham, coccygeal vertebrae 7/8 as puncture), intraperitoneal injection of 50 μmol/L ginsenoside Re as treatment group (n=6) and phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) as control group (n=6). One month later, the heights of the intervertebral discs were detected by X-ray. The rats' intervertebral disc NP tissues were observed by safranin O-fast green staining and hematoxylin-eosin staining, and histological grade was evaluated. By immunofluorescence, the expressions of TNF-α, MMP 3, aggrecan and COL2A1 were observed. Results · The expressions of inflammatory factors in the NP cells including Mmp 3 and Adamts 5 decreased and the expressions of aggrecan and Col2a1 increased under the treatment of 50 μmol/L ginsenoside Re (all P=0.000). Western blotting showed that compared with the NP cells only stimulated by TNF-α, the amounts of protein p-p65 and p-IκBα decreased significantly under the treatment of ginsenoside Re (both P=0.000). X-ray showed that compared with the puncture segment of PBS injection group, the puncture segment of ginsenoside Re injection group had better disc height indices (P=0.004) and degeneration grades (P=0.000). Immunofluorescence showed ginsenoside Re injection group expressed more aggrecan and COL2A1 (P=0.000), and less TNF-α and MMP 3 (P=0.000). Conclusion · GinsenosideRe can reduce the expressions of inflammatory factors by inhibiting NF-κB pathway in NP cells as well as maintain the disc heights and effectively alleviate the IDD level of rats.

Methods · Gene expression data set GSE80178 was downloaded from the GEO database. Six DFU samples and three diabetic foot skin (DFS) samples were used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The biological processes and cellular components of the DEGs were annotated by using Gene Ontology (GO). The relative proportions of immune cells among DFU samples, DFS samples and non-diabetic foot skin (nDFS) samples were calculated and compared by the deconvolution method. Results · A total of 296 DEGs were obtained, including 80 genes up-regulated and 216 genes down-regulated. GO analysis found that the DEGs were enriched in the cellular components such as exosomes and extracellular space, and in the biological processes such as keratinocyte differentiation, keratinization, and neutrophil chemotaxis. The comparison between DFS and nDFS showed no difference in immune cell proportions, while compared with DFS, the proportions of activated mast cells, resting natural killer cells, CD8+ T cells and monocytes increased in the DFU samples. Conclusion · In the pathogenesis of DFU, there may be active keratinization and immunoregulation in the lesion, and the infiltration of activated mast cells, resting natural killer cells, CD8+ T cells and monocytes may increase in the lesion.

Effects of periodontitis on the subsets of helper T cells in peripheral blood of rat models YUAN Yun, ZHANG Hong-ming, HUANG Hui JOURNAL OF SHANGHAI JIAOTONG UNIVERSITY (MEDICAL SCIENCE)    2020, 40 (10): 1360-1364.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2020.10.010 Abstract （573）      PDF（pc） （6686KB）（235）       Knowledge map    Save Objective · To investigate the effects of periodontitis on the subsets of helper T (Th) cells in peripheral blood of rat models, so as to provide basis for the immunological study of periodontitis. Methods · Rat models of experimental periodontitis were induced by gingiva separation and silk tread ligation. They were divided into periodontitis group (n=5) and normal group (control group, n=5). Periodontal probing was performed two weeks after operation. Alveolar bone resorption was measured by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Peripheral blood was taken for flow cytometry to detect the proportions of Th1, Th2, Th17 and T-regulatory (Treg) cells. Difference of cell proportion between the two groups was performed with independent sample t-test. Results · The gingival tissue was swollen and easy to bleed, and alveolar bone resorption was obvious in the periodontitis group. Flow cytometry showed that the proportions of Th1 (P=0.002) and Th17 (P=0.028) cells in peripheral blood of the periodontitis group significantly increased, the proportion of Treg cells significantly decreased (P=0.002), and the proportion of Th2 cells did not change obviously. Conclusion · Periodontitis promotes the differentiation of pro-inflammatory Th cell subsets, while inhibiting the differentiation of inflammation-regulating Th cell subset in peripheral blood of rat models.

Comparative study on the regeneration capacity of tissue in root canals between concentrated growth factor and blood clot ZHANG Shi-yun, LAI Guang-yun, WANG Jun JOURNAL OF SHANGHAI JIAOTONG UNIVERSITY (MEDICAL SCIENCE)    2020, 40 (10): 1365-1370.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2020.10.011 Abstract （587）      PDF（pc） （8611KB）（180）       Knowledge map    Save Objective · To compare the difference of the regeneration capacity of tissue in root canals between concentrated growth factor (CGF) and blood clot by animal study. Methods · CGF was prepared from the upper arm venous blood of healthy volunteers. CGF was implanted into the root segments of isolated teeth, which is the experimental group, and the whole blood was injected into the root segments to form blood clots, which is the control group, with 18 samples in each group. The samples of the control group and experimental group were injected subcutaneously on both sides of the back of nude mice, respectively, and were taken out 4 and 6 weeks after transplantation. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (H-E staining) was used to observe the structure of newly formed tissue in root canals and calculate its area proportion. Immunohistochemical analysis, immunofluorescence analysis and modified Masson staining were used to detect the components of the newly formed tissue, and the area ratio and microvessel density of each component were calculated. Results · The structure of the newly formed tissue induced by the two groups was similar, and the main components were collagen fibers, blood vessels, nerve fibers and adipose tissue. After 4 and 6 weeks of implantation, compared with the control group, the proportion of the newly formed tissue area and microvessel density in the experimental group were higher (all P<0.05). After 6 weeks of implantation, compared with the control group, the proportion of new nerve fibers in the experimental group was increased (P=0.047). Conclusion · CGF and blood clot-induced endodontic tissue regeneration ability is similar, which may imply that CGF can be an alternative to blood clot in the regenerative endodontic treatment.
