BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the method of the present invention for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNA. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0017] In order to solve the problem that the existing cultured mesenchymal stem cells do not use exosomes, which will reduce the immunomodulatory ability of mesenchymal stem cells and affect their application in the treatment of immune-related diseases, please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions: The method for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNA comprises the following steps: S1: Extraction of mesenchymal stem cells; S2: After the obtained mesenchymal stem cells are placed in a non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube, they are placed in a cryopreservation recovery box for cryopreservation. The cryopreservation sequence is: cryopreservation in ice water for 2 hours, dry ice for 12 hours, and finally transferred to liquid nitrogen for cryopreservation; Freezing mesenchymal stem cells can not only maintain the vitality and function of mesenchymal stem cells, but also extend the shelf life of mesenchymal stem cells. Living cells transported in culture medium have only a short shelf life, while cryopreservation can significantly extend the storage time of stem cells, allowing them to be used when needed. Cryopreservation can also improve treatment efficiency, and cryopreserved mesenchymal stem cells can still maintain their immune regulation function after thawing. S3: After resuscitating the mesenchymal stem cells using a cryopreservation resuscitation box, take out the non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube and detect the cell activity; S4: Take the revived mesenchymal cells with cell activity greater than 80% for culture, and culture the mesenchymal stem cells with MSC culture medium until they fill the culture dish; S5: After digesting the mesenchymal stem cells on the culture dish, use Percoll separation solution to separate the mononuclear cells; S6: Improve the cell culture medium and purify the exosomal miRNA, add the purified exosomal miRNA to the improved cell culture medium to purify and expand mesenchymal stem cells for 3 days to obtain neural stem cell-like cells; Adding purified exosomal miRNA during the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells makes the differentiated neural cells highly biologically active, which can promote cell proliferation and differentiation, help mesenchymal stem cells grow and differentiate into the required cell types better, and enhance immunomodulatory effects, inhibit inflammatory responses, promote tissue repair, and participate in the activation and differentiation of immune cells. This immunomodulatory effect helps reduce transplant rejection and improve the safety of cell therapy. As a drug carrier, exosomes have low immunogenicity and good biocompatibility, and can be delivered to target tissues through multiple pathways in the body. As a carrier of drugs or therapeutic factors, it improves the therapeutic effect.

[0018] S7: The neural stem cell-like cells are transferred to MesenCult~TM culture medium and cultured for 7-14 days to obtain differentiated neural cells.

[0021] Purification of exosomal miRNA includes: Sample preparation: transfer serum and other samples into centrifuge tubes and take the supernatant after centrifugation; Magnetic beads preparation: Take out the magnetic beads from the kit, wash them and add them to the sample; ‌Incubation‌: Mix the magnetic beads and the sample and incubate; Magnetic bead collection: collect the magnetic beads by centrifugation and magnetic rack, and discard the supernatant; Exosome elution: Use buffer to elute the exosomes. The collected eluate is the purified exosome miRNA solution. The buffer is phosphate buffer.

For example, the serum exosomal miR-223 levels of patients with dementia are correlated with the severity of the disease and can be used as a marker for diagnosis and assessment of disease progression. Similarly, exosomal miRNA has also discovered new biomarkers and treatments in the study of obesity and insulin resistance. These findings provide new possibilities for the treatment and prevention of diseases. ‌ The improved cell culture medium includes ginsenoside Rg1, notoginseng polysaccharide, vitamin C, EGF and grape seed extract, which work together to improve the induction efficiency, and the composition of the culture medium is simple, which is easy to prepare and use; Among them, the content of ginsenoside Rg1 was 23.08 μg / mL; The content of Panax notoginseng polysaccharide was 0.13ug / ml; The content of vitamin C is 3ug / ml; The content of EGF is 0.1ng / ml; The content of grape seed extract is 0.8μg / ml‌.

Example 4

[0032] The difference from Example 3 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, a co-culture ultrasonic process is used: Specifically, before culture, differentiated neural cells were added at a ratio of 1:1; during culture, the cells were cultured in an atmosphere of 10% CO 2 After the incubation in an air atmosphere with a content of 5%, the cells were ultrasonically treated at 200W for 5 minutes and then subjected to 5% CO 2 Differentiated neurons cultured alone under the same conditions were used as controls, and the basal NGF (i.e., NGF produced by differentiated neurons) was subtracted when calculating the NGF content.

[0033] Comparative Example 1 The method for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNA comprises the following steps: S1: Extraction of mesenchymal stem cells; S2: After the obtained mesenchymal stem cells are placed in a non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube, they are placed in a cryopreservation recovery box for cryopreservation. The cryopreservation sequence is: cryopreservation in ice water for 1 hour, dry ice for 12 hours, and finally transferred to liquid nitrogen for cryopreservation; S3: After resuscitating the mesenchymal stem cells using a cryopreservation resuscitation box, take out the non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube and detect the cell activity; S4: Take the revived mesenchymal cells with cell activity greater than 80% for culture, and culture the mesenchymal stem cells with MSC culture medium until they fill the culture dish; S5: After digesting the mesenchymal stem cells on the culture dish, use Percoll separation solution to separate the mononuclear cells; S6: adding the separated nuclear cells to a cell culture medium to purify and expand the mesenchymal stem cells for 3 days to obtain neural stem cell-like cells, wherein the cell culture medium is a serum-containing culture medium; S7: The neural stem cell-like cells are transferred to MesenCult~TM culture medium and cultured for 7-14 days to obtain differentiated neural cells.

[0034] The exosomal miRNA biomarkers include hsa-miR-185-5p.

[0035] Extraction of mesenchymal stem cells, including: First, mesenchymal stem cells are collected and suspended in a culture medium containing high concentration of goat serum under sterile conditions; The culture medium was transferred to a low-adhesion culture dish and the mesenchymal stem cells were extracted at 37°C for 24 h; Non-adherent cells and residual sheep serum were removed, serum-free culture medium was added, and mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in low-adhesion culture dishes.

[0036] Mesenchymal stem cells are extracted from one or more of bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, placental tissue and adipose tissue.

[0037] The MSC culture medium comprises MEM-α basal culture medium, component A and component B, wherein component A consists of the following components: enalaretide and thrombin spondin, and component B consists of human platelet lysate.

[0038] The volume ratio of enalaretide to the basal culture medium is 2%, the volume ratio of thrombin spondin to the basal culture medium is 2.5%, and the volume ratio of platelet lysate to the basal culture medium is 10%. The differentiation method of Example 2 is used, which differs from Example 1 in that the improved cell culture medium is not used and the volume ratio of the MSC culture medium is adjusted.

[0039] Comparative Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, an intermittent low oxygen atmosphere culturing process is adopted: Specifically, the cells were cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h and then in a 5% CO 2 The cells were cultured in an atmosphere of 10% CO for 32 h and then in an atmosphere of 10% CO 2 The cells were cultured in an air atmosphere with a low content of 1% CO for 24 h and finally in an air atmosphere for 8 h.

[0040] Comparative Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, an intermittent low oxygen atmosphere culturing process is adopted: Specifically, the cells were cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h and then in a 10% CO 2 The cells were cultured in an atmosphere of 5% CO for 16 h and then in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 The cells were cultured in an air atmosphere with a low content of 40 h and finally in an air atmosphere for 8 h.

[0041] Comparative Example 4 The difference from Example 3 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, differentiated neural cells were added in a 1:1 ratio before culturing. During culturing, the cells were cultured in 10% CO 2 After the incubation in an air atmosphere with 5% CO 2 The cells were cultured in an air atmosphere with a low concentration of 1% sodium bicarbonate. That is, no ultrasonic treatment was performed.

[0042] The differentiated neural cell samples in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4 and Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 were selected, and the antigens in the cells were labeled with specific antibodies and then observed under a fluorescence microscope. After the culture of each sample was completed, the cell performance was tested, and the results were as follows: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Differentiation efficiency 95% 88% 97% 99% 80% 83% 81% 98% NGF content 100ng / ml 80ng / ml 112ng / ml 127 ng / ml 50ng / ml 55ng / ml 53 / ml 119ng / ml As can be seen from the above table, the NGF content, differentiation efficiency, and proliferation and differentiation efficiency of mesenchymal stem cells differentiated using the methods of Example 1 and Example 2 are higher, and the NGF content is 100 ng / ml.

[0043] Among them, compared with Example 1, Example 2 did not purify the exosomal miRNA, and its differentiation efficiency and NGF content were both reduced.

[0044] Among them, compared with Example 2, the differentiation efficiency and NGF content of the comparative example are greatly reduced, indicating that the addition of exosomal miRNA during the neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and the improvement of the culture medium can improve the neural cell differentiation efficiency and NGF content.

[0045] The differentiation efficiency and NGF content of Example 3 were significantly better than those of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, indicating the special effect of the intermittent low oxygen atmosphere culture process adopted in Example 3, which requires high concentration of CO 2 atmosphere, and at the same time requires sufficient cultivation time.

[0046] The differentiation efficiency and NGF content of Example 4 were significantly better than those of Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, which indicated the special effect of the ultrasonic co-culture process used in Example 4, especially the effect of high concentration of CO 2 Necessity of post-atmosphere ultrasonication.

[0047] In summary, the present invention promotes the neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNA. By purifying exosomal miRNA, impurities and interfering substances can be removed. When the mesenchymal stem cells are differentiated, the purified exosomal miRNA is added, so that the differentiated neural cells have high biological activity, which can promote cell proliferation and differentiation, and can help mesenchymal stem cells to better grow and differentiate into the desired cell types. It also has the effect of improving immunoregulation, can inhibit inflammatory response, promote tissue repair, and participate in the activation and differentiation process of immune cells, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. At the same time, the addition of purified exosomal miRNA can maintain biological activity for a long time, and is easy to store and transport, which is convenient for clinical application.
