Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to hUCMSCs for highly efficient ischemic damage repair and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Limb artery ischemic disease includes a variety of diseases such as lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and diabetic limb artery occlusive disease (DLAO). Its clinical manifestations are diverse, including weakness of the affected limb, intermittent claudication, rest pain, muscle atrophy, and even ulcers, necrosis and even the risk of amputation in severe cases. This type of disease not only brings great pain to patients, but also has a long and complicated treatment process. It is also accompanied by high disability and mortality rates, which seriously reduces the quality of life of patients and causes heavy economic and social burdens. At present, clinical treatment mainly relies on arterial bypass grafting and endovascular technology, but these methods are limited by strict indications, and the prognosis is often unsatisfactory, especially for the elderly and frail, who cannot tolerate surgery or have poor endovascular treatment effects, and are at risk of amputation. There is a lack of effective treatment methods. Therefore, exploring new treatment methods and drugs to deal with peripheral arterial occlusive disease has become an urgent clinical need.
[0003] In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that the paracrine mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) plays a vital role in improving lower limb ischemia. These stem cells secrete a series of bioactive molecules, such as epithelial growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, blood cell growth factor, adhesion protein and angioprotein-1, which act on specific signal regulation pathways, activate and promote the migration, proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and thus accelerate angiogenesis. This process can significantly increase the blood supply to the ischemic area, thereby improving the healing ability of ischemic ulcers. In addition, these cytokines also have the function of inhibiting inflammatory response at the wound site, which helps to accelerate the wound healing process. However, conventional mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) face challenges in application, mainly manifested in the low content of their paracrine pro-angiogenic factors and anti-inflammatory response factors, and limited adaptability to the microenvironment in the body, which greatly limits their therapeutic effect.
[0004] On the other hand, oxygen concentration is a key factor affecting the growth of cells and microorganisms, and its regulation is crucial for cell culture. For example, mouse embryonic fibroblasts cultured in a hypoxic environment of 3% showed a healthier growth state, less DNA damage, and a milder stress response compared to a conventional oxygen concentration of 20%. In experiments simulating acute inflammatory environments, TNF-α and IL-1β, as inflammatory cytokines highly expressed in ischemic and damaged tissues, are often used in research. However, conventional mesenchymal stem cells (such as hUCMSCs, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, etc.) are difficult to fully realize their potential in the repair of tissue ischemic damage due to insufficient paracrine factor content and poor adaptability to the in vivo microenvironment.
[0005] In summary, for the treatment of limb artery ischemic diseases, it is urgent to develop new mesenchymal stem cell therapies or related drugs that can effectively promote angiogenesis, inhibit inflammatory responses, and adapt to the complex microenvironment in the body to meet clinical needs and improve patient prognosis.

The interval between the tissue blocks is 1-2cm to reserve growth space for hUCMSCs P0 cells. After inoculation, place the cells in a 37℃ 5.0% CO2 incubator for 20-30 minutes to make the tissue blocks adhere more firmly to the wall.
[0039] ③ Add 5-10ml / T75cm2 human mesenchymal stem cell serum-free culture medium (Tianjin Haoyang SC2013-GA 450ml, SC2013-GB 50ml, fully mixed) to inoculate the labeled hUCMSCs P0, observe whether there is contamination on the second day, change 3-5ml of medium every 2-3 days and a half, and observe the cells crawling out (pay attention to the smooth handling of the culture bottle during the process to avoid the movement of the tissue block.
[0040] ④ After culturing for about 12-15 days, hUCMSCs P0 cells grow to a confluency of 80%-90%, discard the supernatant culture medium, add 3-5ml / bottle of physiological saline to wash 1-2 times, use 0.25% trypsin / EDTA digestion solution (Tianjin Haoyang TE2004Y), 0.5-1ml / bottle to digest and crawl out cells and tissue blocks, and use serum-free trypsin stop solution (Tianjin Haoyang SC2013-GE) 1-3ml / bottle to stop digestion; use 50ml to collect tissue blocks and cell suspension, centrifuge at 1000-2000rpm for 5min, discard the supernatant, add appropriate amount of physiological saline to mix, filter with 70-100μm filter to remove tissue blocks, and obtain P0 generation umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells hUCMSCs P0;

It should be understood that these examples are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The experimental methods in the following examples that do not specify specific conditions are usually measured according to national standards. If there is no corresponding national standard, then the conditions recommended by the manufacturer are followed.

[0051] ①Umbilical cord tissue with no infectious diseases, no genetic diseases, and normal chromosomes should be selected, and the length of 20 cm should be collected under sterile operation. The umbilical cord should be cut into 2 cm tissue segments with sterile flat scissors, and the residual blood in the tissue should be washed repeatedly with 0.9% saline for 3 times. Two arteries and one vein of the umbilical cord should be separated with sterile tissue forceps, and Walton's jelly should be peeled off. The Wharton's jelly should be cut into 0.5 cm tissue blocks with sterile flat scissors, and washed repeatedly with 0.9% saline for 2 times, and placed in a 9 cm sterile culture dish for attachment and culture.
[0052] ② Use a cell scraper to inoculate the colloidal tissue blocks into a T75cm2 breathable culture flask. The interval between tissue blocks is 1cm to reserve growth space for hUCMSCs P0 cells. After inoculation, place the cells in a 37℃ 5.0% CO2 incubator for 30 minutes to make the tissue blocks adhere more firmly.
[0053] ③ Add 10 ml / T75 cm2 human mesenchymal stem cell serum-free medium (Tianjin Haoyang SC2013-GA 450 ml, SC2013-GB 50 ml fully mixed) to inoculate the labeled hUCMSCs P0, observe whether there is contamination on the second day, replace 5 ml of medium every 3.5 days, and observe the cell crawling out (pay attention to the smooth handling of the culture bottle during the process to avoid the movement of the tissue block.
[0054] ④ After culturing for about 15 days, hUCMSCs P0 cells grow to a confluence of more than 85%, discard the supernatant culture medium, add 5 ml / bottle of physiological saline to wash twice, use 0.25% trypsin, 0.8 ml / bottle to digest the crawling cells and tissue blocks, and use 3 ml / bottle of stop solution to stop digestion; use a 50 ml centrifuge tube to collect tissue blocks and cell suspension, centrifuge at 1200 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add an appropriate amount of physiological saline to mix, and filter with a 70 μm filter to remove tissue blocks, thus obtaining P0 generation umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells hUCMSCsP0;

Repeat step ④ every 3 days when the cell fusion rate reaches more than 85%, collect hUCMSCs P1 cells, count the cells and pass them to hUCMSCs P2 at 1:3. When the cell fusion rate reaches 85%, repeat step ④ to collect hUCMSCs P2 cells.
[0056] 2. Different effects of different oxygen concentrations and different inflammatory factor dosages on hUCMSCs-P3
[0057] The hUCMSCs-P2 cells harvested in step 1-⑤ were passaged and expanded, and the hUCMSCs-P3 was passaged at a ratio of 1:3 according to the cell count. The cells were cultured for 3 days in a three-gas incubator with a hypoxic environment of 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. Pre-activated inflammatory factors were added under different dosage conditions of TNF-a (10ng / ml, 25ng / ml, 50ng / ml), IL-1β (10ng / ml, 25ng / ml, 50ng / ml), LPA (5umol / L, 10umol / L, 20umol / L), and HGF (5ng / ml, 10ng / ml, 20ng / ml) for pre-activation culture. When the cell fusion rate reached 85%, steps 1-④ were repeated to collect hUCMSCs P3 cells and their cell supernatant. The ELISA method was used to detect the differences in the secretion of VEGF protein levels in the cell supernatant; the CCK8 method was used to detect the differences in the proliferation activity of UCMSCs-P3 cells cultured under different oxygen concentrations and inflammatory factor dosages. The results showed that the secretion of VEGF protein levels and cell proliferation activity were optimal when cultured in a 3% hypoxic environment and pre-activated with the addition of the following concentrations of inflammatory factors: 25ng / ml TNF-a, 10ng / ml IL-1β, 20umol / L LPA, and 20ng / ml HGF.

[0089] 3.3 ELISA method was used to detect the difference in VEGF protein secretion levels between UCMSCs and conventional UCMSCs.
[0090] The cell culture supernatant was collected in a 50ml sterile centrifuge tube. Centrifuge for 20 minutes at 3000 rpm, and the EGF protein level was detected using the (VEGF) ELISA kit. Experimental principle: This kit uses the double antibody sandwich method to determine the level of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the sample. The microwell plate is coated with purified human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) capture antibody to make a solid phase antibody. Human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is added to the coated microwells in turn, and then combined with the HRP-labeled detection antibody to form an antibody-antigen-enzyme-labeled antibody complex. After thorough washing, the substrate TMB is added for color development. TMB is converted into blue under the catalysis of HRP enzyme, and converted into the final yellow under the action of acid. The depth of color is positively correlated with the human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the sample. The absorbance (OD value) is measured at a wavelength of 450nm using an enzyme reader, and the human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) content in the sample is calculated using the standard curve. The operation steps are as follows:
[0091] 1. Adding standard samples: Set up standard sample wells and sample wells, and add 50 μL of standard samples of different concentrations to each standard sample well.
[0092] 2. Sample addition: Set up blank wells (blank control wells do not add samples and enzyme-labeled reagents, and the rest of the steps are the same) and test sample wells. First add 40μl of sample diluent to the test sample wells on the enzyme-labeled plate, and then add 10μl of the test sample (the final sample dilution is 5 times). Add the sample to the bottom of the well of the enzyme-labeled plate, try not to touch the well wall, and gently shake to mix.
[0093] 3. Add enzyme: Add 100 μl of enzyme-labeled reagent to each well, except for the blank well.
[0094] 4. Incubation: Seal the plate with a sealing film and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
[0095] 5. Liquid preparation: Dilute the 20-fold concentrated washing solution with 20-fold distilled water and set aside.
[0096] 6. Washing: Carefully peel off the sealing film, discard the liquid, spin dry, fill each well with washing solution, let it stand for 30 seconds and then discard, repeat this 5 times and pat dry.
[0097] 7. Color development: First add 50μl of color developer A to each well, then add 50μl of color developer B, gently shake and mix, and color development at 37℃ in the dark for 15 minutes.
[0098] 8. Termination: Add 50 μl of stop solution to each well to terminate the reaction (the blue color immediately turns yellow).
[0099] 9. Determination: Use the blank well as zero setting, and measure the absorbance (OD value) of each well in sequence at a wavelength of 450nm. The determination should be carried out within 15 minutes after adding the stop solution.
[0100] 10. Calculation: Draw a standard curve on the coordinate paper with the concentration of the standard as the horizontal axis and the OD value as the vertical axis. Find the corresponding concentration from the standard curve according to the OD value of the sample; then multiply it by the dilution factor; or use the concentration of the standard and the OD value to calculate the linear regression equation of the standard curve, substitute the OD value of the sample into the equation, calculate the sample concentration, and then multiply it by the dilution factor to get the actual concentration of the sample.
