Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of stem cell culture, and relates to a construction method and application of inducing intestinal neural crest cells to differentiate into glial precursor cells. Background Art
[0002] The intestine is one of the most important organs in the human body. One of the keys to the realization of its functions and the regulation of its interactions with other organs of the body is the enteric nervous system. Disorders of the enteric nervous system are closely related to many intestinal-related diseases, such as congenital megacolon caused by the lack of neurons in the distal colon. Therefore, it is very important to effectively restore and rebuild the enteric nervous system in clinical treatment.
[0003] The development of the enteric nervous system involves the differentiation of enteric nerves from progenitor cells to glial cells and neurons. These differentiation processes are determined in the embryonic period. Existing tools for studying and treating the enteric nervous system, especially embryonic development, include cell lines, stem cells, and organoids. Cell lines such as N-2a and SY5Y are easy to culture and convenient for in vitro experiments, but these cell lines are tumor-derived and usually show abnormal metabolic behavior, making them difficult to use in cell therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells have differentiation potential, but there are still many challenges in their clinical application, such as low transplant survival rate and difficulty in in vivo differentiation. Enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) can self-renew and differentiate into neurons and glial cells to rebuild the nervous system, but there are some bottlenecks in ENCCs transplantation, including insufficient proliferation and migration before transplantation, a large number of apoptosis during short-term transplantation, and ineffective reconstruction of neural circuits. Treatment of ENCCs with cytokines, drugs, and signaling pathway regulators to improve these side effects has also failed to completely repair the function of the enteric nervous system. The current hot topic of research, pluripotent stem cells hESC, are ethically controversial, while iPSC is more ethically acceptable, but there is a potential risk of tumor development whether derived from hESC cells or iPSC cells. In addition, allogeneic transplantation using hESC- or iPSC-derived ENCCs requires lifelong use of immunosuppressants to reduce rejection and graft-versus-host disease, but this can induce HSCR-related, recurrent, and potentially fatal enterocolitis. Intestinal organoids are three-dimensional structures cultured in vitro from tissues and pluripotent stem cells, containing a variety of cell types, which can simulate corresponding organs in terms of cell type, spatial structure, and physiological function. However, the physiological characteristics and genetic fidelity and stability of organoids are still unclear, and they lack important physiological processes in the body as well as vascular, lymphatic, and neural functions. It can be seen that the current cellular tools for studying intestinal neural development have certain limitations, and more effective tools are urgently needed to make up for the deficiencies in the study and treatment of intestinal neural development.
[0004] In the early stage, the research team discovered a group of glial progenitor cells with bidirectional potential through single sequencing. These cells can differentiate into both neurons and glial cells. Other studies have also shown that glial progenitor cells have the potential to develop into neurons. This indicates that glial progenitor cells are a good tool for the potential treatment of enteric nervous system diseases. They exist in normal intestinal cells and have the potential to differentiate into neurons. They do not require additional cell transplantation and can differentiate into neurons through self-induced differentiation, thereby treating enteric neurological diseases such as Hirschsprung's disease.
[0005] Previous articles used in vitro induction of iPSCs, differentiation into neurons, and then cell transplantation to treat congenital megacolon. The process was complicated and there were risks such as immune rejection. However, using the intestine's own glial precursor cells eliminated the tedious in vitro induction and cell transplantation process. There are no neurons in the distal part of megacolon, but there are glial precursor cells. The method of using glial precursor cells in vivo to transdifferentiate into neurons is groundbreaking and has no ethical controversy, gene editing, and immune rejection risks. It provides a new theoretical basis and treatment method for the in vivo treatment of megacolon. Summary of the invention

[0059] Example 3 Identification of extracted ENCCs and induced glial precursor cells and neurons
[0060] 1. Immunofluorescence staining of primary mouse ENCCs
[0061] (1) Place a cell slide in a 12-well plate, add 500 ul of poly-lysine (0.1 mg / ml) to each well, so that the poly-lysine covers the cell slide at the bottom of the culture plate, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 1 h;
[0062] (2) Take out the poly-lysine-coated 12-well plate, aspirate the poly-lysine solution with a pipette, wash it three times with sterile PBS, and set aside;
[0063] (3) The cultured ENCCs were transferred to a 15 ml centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 800 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, the culture was resuspended with ENCCs culture medium, and inoculated into a poly-lysine-coated 12-well plate, placed in a 37°C incubator, and cultured for 1 h until the ENCCs adhered to the wall;
[0064] (4) Take out the 12-well plate, discard the culture medium, wash twice with PBS, add 400 μl of 4% paraformaldehyde and fix on a shaker for 30 min;
[0065] (5) Aspirate and discard paraformaldehyde, and wash with PBS on a shaker three times, 5 min each time;
[0066] (6) Aspirate and discard PBS, and block with 5% BSA solution (containing 0.3% Triton X-100) prepared in PBS at room temperature for 1 h;
[0067] (7) Aspirate the BSA solution and wash with PBS on a shaker three times, 5 min each time;
[0068] (8) Aspirate and discard PBS, add primary antibody P57 diluted in PBS NTR (ab52987, abcam) and Nestin (ab81462, abcam), incubated overnight at 4°C;
[0069] (9) Take the cells out of the 4°C refrigerator and place them on a shaker. After returning to room temperature (about 10 min), recover the primary antibody and wash them three times with PBS, each time for 5 min.
[0070] (10) Aspirate and discard PBS, add fluorescent secondary antibody CoraLite488-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) (SA00013-2, Proteintech) and Cy3-labeled goat anti-rat IgG (GB21302, Servicebio) diluted in PBS, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 1 h;
[0071] (11) Aspirate and discard the secondary antibody, and wash with PBS three times, 5 min each time;
[0072] (12) Aspirate PBS, add DAPI stain to counterstain the cell nucleus, and incubate in the dark for 5 min;
[0073] (13) Aspirate and discard DAPI, and wash with PBS three times, 5 min each time;
[0074] (14) Take out the cell slide from the well plate, wait for it to dry slightly, attach the cell slide to a glass slide, seal the slide with an anti-fluorescence quencher sealant (G1401, Servicebio), and observe and collect images under a fluorescence microscope.
[0075] like Figure 2 The figure shows the immunofluorescence identification of ENCCs on the 4th day of culture; two markers (P75 NTR and Nestin) co-label enteric neural crest cells in neurospheres.
[0076] 2. Identification of primary mouse ENCCs by flow cytometry
[0077] (1) After digestion and resuspension of ENCCs, centrifuge at 1400 rpm, 4°C for 5 min, discard the supernatant, wash the cells once with PBS (containing 1% BSA), and add 1×10 7 Resuspend the cells in 500ul PBS (containing 1% BSA) at a concentration of cells / mL;
[0078] (2) For each tube of blank control, isotype control, and test sample, 100uL of the above resuspended cells were placed in a centrifuge tube. No antibody was added to the blank control tube, and 0.5uL of FVS dye (564406, BD bioscience) was added to the isotype control and test tubes, respectively. The tubes were gently mixed and incubated at 4°C in the dark for 20 min. The tubes were gently mixed every 10 min, and the tubes were centrifuged at 1400 rpm, 4°C for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed.
[0079] (3) Resuspend the cells in 100uL PBS (containing 1% BSA). No antibody is added to the blank control tube, and 3uL P75 NTR (130-128-624, Miltenyi), 3ul HNK1 (359610, Biolegend) antibody, used to label ENCCs, incubated at 4°C in the dark for 30min, and gently mixed once every 10min;
[0080] (4) Add 100uL PBS (containing 1% BSA), centrifuge at 1400rpm, 4°C for 5min, wash 1-2 times, resuspend in 500uL PBS (containing 1% BSA) and add to the flow tube, filter and detect on the flow cytometer.
[0081] like Figure 3 The figure shows the flow cytometry analysis of fetal rat enteric neural crest cells at 0 and 4 days of culture. + CD271 + The cell ratio also showed statistically significant difference (P<0.001). NTR+ HNK1 + The proportion of cells increased from 1.98% on day 0 to 4.50%, indicating that after 4 days of culture, the proportion of enteric neural crest cells (P75 NTR+ HNK1 + ) significantly increased.
[0082] 3. Identification of glial precursor cells by flow cytometry
[0083] The experimental steps were the same as in 2, using antibodies FABP7 (ab279649, Abcam) and SOX10 (sc-365692, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and using fluorescent secondary antibodies DyLight 405, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (A23120, Abbkine) and Dylight 649, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (A23610, Abbkine) to label glial precursor cells. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it was found that when glial precursor cells were cultured in the induction medium for 16 h, FABP7 +and SOX10 + Therefore, it is believed that 16 hours of induction of glial precursor cells is the best induction condition, which can better induce ENCCs into glial precursor cells.
[0084] like Figure 5 The results are shown in the flow cytometry results of the changes of glial progenitor cell markers over the culture time. It can be seen that the content of glial progenitor cells in ENCCs is 5.56%. After 16 hours of induction with glial progenitor cell induction medium, FABP7 + SOX10 + The content of double-positive cells was the highest, accounting for 8.54%. As the induction time of glial progenitor cells increased, the content of glial progenitor cells gradually decreased, indicating that the induction of glial progenitor cells for 16 h was the key to induce FABP7. + SOX10 + The optimal time for glial precursor cells can significantly increase the content of glial precursor cells.
[0085] 4. RT-PCR Identification of Neuronal Content
[0086] The initial cells of ENCCs cultured for 4 days (ENCCs 4d), the glial progenitor cells induced by glial progenitor cell induction medium for 16 hours on the basis of ENCCs (ENCCs 4d+16h), the cells of glial progenitor cells induced by neuron induction medium for 32 hours (ENCCs 4d+16h+32h), and the cells induced by glial progenitor cell induction medium for 1 day and then by neuron induction medium for 1 day (ENCCs 4d+1d+1d) were collected respectively. It was found that the neurons content was highest when ENCCs were induced by glial progenitor cell induction medium for 16 hours and then by neuron induction medium for 32 hours.
[0087] like Figure 6 The results of RT-qPCR of neuronal markers changing with culture time are shown; blue represents the initial cells after 4 days of ENCCs culture, red represents the cells after 16 hours of induction with glial progenitor cell induction medium, green represents the cells after 16 hours of induction with glial progenitor cell induction medium and then 32 hours of induction with neuron induction medium, and purple represents the cells after 1 day of induction with glial progenitor cell induction medium and then 1 day of induction with neuron induction medium. It was found that after 16 hours of glial progenitor cell induction and 32 hours of neuron induction, the neuronal cell content of ENCCs increased significantly, and was significantly higher than that of the group without neuron induction or the group with 1 day of glial progenitor cell induction and 1 day of neuron induction, indicating that neuron induction is effective, and the best neuron induction result can be achieved by inducing glial progenitor cells for 16 hours and then neuron induction for 32 hours.
