[0002] Mesenchymal stem cells are a type of pluripotent stem cells, which have all the commonalities of stem cells, namely self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation ability. They are also the most widely used in clinical applications. When combined with hematopoietic stem cells, the success rate of transplantation can be increased and hematopoietic reconstruction can be accelerated. When patients receive high-dose chemotherapy, injecting mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells together can significantly accelerate the recovery time of blood cells in patients, and it is safe without adverse reactions.

[0003] Chinese Patent with publication number CN117363567A discloses a new method for extracting mesenchymal stem cells, including the following steps: Step 1: Collect mesenchymal stem cells; Step 2: Suspend the mesenchymal stem cells in a medium containing high-concentration sheep serum under sterile conditions; Step 3: Transfer the medium to a low-adhesion culture dish; Step 4: Extract mesenchymal stem cells at 37°C for 24 hours; Step 5: Remove non-adherent cells and residual sheep serum, and add serum-free medium; Step 6: Continue to culture mesenchymal stem cells in a low-adhesion culture dish; Step 7: Regularly change the serum-free medium to maintain the growth and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells. By using bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, placental tissue, and adipose tissue, the activity of mesenchymal stem cells is ensured, so that the culture survival rate is 30% higher than that of traditional culture methods, and at the same time, the proliferation ability of mesenchymal stem cells is enhanced.

[0004] In the actual use of the above patent, since mesenchymal stem cells play an important role in tissue repair and regeneration, and this role is partially achieved through the exosomes secreted by them, the mesenchymal stem cells cultured by the above method do not utilize exosomes.

Description of the Drawings

[0031] Figure 1Schematic diagram of the method for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNAs in the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Example 1

[0033] To solve the problem that existing cultured mesenchymal stem cells do not utilize 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 The following technical solutions are provided in this example:

[0034] A method for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNAs, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1: Extract mesenchymal stem cells;

[0036] S2: After placing the obtained mesenchymal stem cells into a non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube, put it into a cryopreservation and recovery box for cryopreservation. The cryopreservation sequence is: cryopreservation in ice water for 2 h, dry ice for 12 h, and finally transfer to liquid nitrogen for storage;

[0037] Cryopreserving mesenchymal stem cells can not only maintain the viability and function of mesenchymal stem cells, but also extend the shelf life of mesenchymal stem cells. Live cells transported in the culture medium have a very short shelf life, while cryopreservation can significantly extend the storage time of stem cells, enabling them to be used when needed. Cryopreservation can also improve the treatment efficiency, and the cryopreserved mesenchymal stem cells can still maintain their immunomodulatory function after thawing.

[0038] S3: After thawing the mesenchymal stem cells using a cryopreservation and recovery box, take out the non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube and detect the cell viability;

[0039] S4: Take the thawed mesenchymal cells with a cell viability greater than 80% for culture, and culture the mesenchymal stem cells in MSC medium until they cover the culture dish;

[0040] S5: After digesting the mesenchymal stem cells on the culture dish, use Percoll separation solution to separate mononuclear cells;

[0041] S6: Improve the cell culture medium and purify exosomal miRNA. Add the purified exosomal miRNA to the improved cell culture medium for purification and amplification culture of mesenchymal stem cells for 3 days to obtain neural stem cell-like cells;

[0042] When differentiating mesenchymal stem cells, add the purified exosomal miRNA, so that the differentiated nerve cells have high biological activity, can promote cell proliferation and differentiation, can help mesenchymal stem cells grow and differentiate into the required cell types better, and have an improved immunomodulatory effect, can inhibit inflammatory responses, promote tissue repair, and participate in the activation and differentiation processes of immune cells. This immunomodulatory effect helps reduce transplant rejection reactions and improve the safety of cell therapy. As a drug carrier, exosomes have low immunogenicity and good biocompatibility as a drug carrier, can be delivered to the target tissue through multiple in vivo pathways, and as a carrier of drugs or therapeutic factors, can improve the therapeutic effect.

[0043] S7: Transfer the neural stem cell-like cells to MesenCult~TM medium and continue to culture for 7 - 14 days to obtain differentiated nerve cells.

[0044] The biomarker of exosomal miRNA includes: hsa-miR-652-3p.

[0045] Extract mesenchymal stem cells, specifically including:

[0046] Collect mesenchymal stem cells and suspend the mesenchymal stem cells in a medium containing high-concentration fetal bovine serum under sterile conditions. The concentration of fetal bovine serum is 10%;

[0047] Transfer the medium to a low-attachment culture dish and extract mesenchymal stem cells at 37°C for 24 hours;

[0048] Remove non-adherent cells and residual fetal bovine serum, add serum-free medium, and continue to culture mesenchymal stem cells in a low-attachment culture dish, and regularly change the serum-free medium to maintain the growth and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells.

[0049] Purify exosomal miRNA, specifically including:

[0050] Sample preparation: Transfer samples such as serum into a centrifuge tube, and take the supernatant after centrifugation;

[0051] Magnetic bead preparation: Take out the magnetic beads in the kit, wash them and add the sample;

[0052] Incubation: Mix and incubate the magnetic beads with the sample;

[0053] Magnetic bead collection: Aggregate the magnetic beads by centrifugation and a magnetic stand, and discard the supernatant;

[0054] Exosome elution: Use buffer to elute exosomes, and the collected eluate is the purified exosome miRNA solution. The buffer is phosphate buffer.

[0055] The benefits of purifying exosome miRNA mainly include improving the accuracy and reliability of research, as well as discovering new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By purifying exosome miRNA, impurities and interfering substances can be removed, making the research results more accurate and reliable. In addition, the purified exosome miRNA can also be used for disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, providing new possibilities for clinical applications. In addition, the purified exosome miRNA can also be used as potential biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. For example, the level of serum exosome miR-223 in dementia patients is related to the severity of the disease and can be used as a marker for diagnosing and evaluating disease progression. Similarly, new biomarkers and treatment methods have also been discovered in the research of exosome miRNA in obesity and insulin resistance, and these findings provide new possibilities for the treatment and prevention of diseases.

[0076] Transfer the medium to a low-adhesion culture dish and extract mesenchymal stem cells at 37°C for 24 hours;

[0077] Remove non-adherent cells and residual sheep serum, add serum-free medium, and continue to culture mesenchymal stem cells in a low-adhesion culture dish.

[0078] The components of the modified cell medium include ginsenoside Rg1, notoginseng polysaccharide, vitamin C, EGF, and grape seed extract;

[0093] Comparative Example 1

[0094] Method for promoting neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating target genes through exosomal miRNA, comprising the following steps:

[0095] S1: Extract mesenchymal stem cells;

[0096] S2: After placing the obtained mesenchymal stem cells into a non-destructive sampling cryopreservation tube, put it into a cryopreservation and recovery box for cryopreservation. The cryopreservation sequence is to cryopreserve in ice water for 1 h, in dry ice for 12 h, and finally transfer to liquid nitrogen for storage;

[0100] S6: Add the separated nuclear cells to the cell culture medium for purification and amplification culture of mesenchymal stem cells for 3 days to obtain neural stem cell-like cells. The cell culture medium is a serum-containing medium;

[0101] S7: Transfer the neural stem cell-like cells to MesenCult~TM medium and continue to culture for 7 - 14 days to obtain differentiated neural cells.

[0102] The biomarker of the exosomal miRNA includes hsa-miR-185-5p.

[0103] Extracting mesenchymal stem cells specifically includes:

[0104] First, collect mesenchymal stem cells and suspend the mesenchymal stem cells in a medium containing high-concentration sheep serum under sterile conditions;

[0105] Transfer the medium to a low-adhesion culture dish and extract mesenchymal stem cells at 37°C for 24 hours;

[0106] Remove non-adherent cells and residual sheep serum, add serum-free medium, and continue to culture mesenchymal stem cells in a low-adhesion culture dish.

[0107] Mesenchymal stem cells are prepared by extracting from one or more of bone marrow, cord blood, cord tissue, placental tissue, and adipose tissue.

[0108] The MSC culture medium comprises MEM-α basal medium, Component A and Component B. Among them, Component A consists of the following components: exenatide and thrombospondin, and Component B consists of human platelet lysate.

[0109] The volume ratio of exenatide in the basal medium is 2%, the volume ratio of thrombospondin in the basal medium is 2.5%, and the volume ratio of platelet lysate in the basal medium is 10%.

[0110] Among them, the differentiation method of Example 2 is adopted, and the difference from Example 1 is that the improved cell culture medium is not used and the volume ratio of the MSC culture medium is adjusted.

[0111] Comparative Example 2

[0112] The difference from Example 1 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, an intermittent hypoxic atmosphere culture process is adopted:

[0113] Specifically, it is first cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h, then cultured in an air atmosphere with 5% CO2 content for 32 h, then cultured in an air atmosphere with 10% CO2 content for 24 h, and finally cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h.

[0114] Comparative Example 3

[0115] The difference from Example 1 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, an intermittent hypoxic atmosphere culture process is adopted:

[0116] Specifically, it is first cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h, then cultured in an air atmosphere with 10% CO2 content for 16 h, then cultured in an air atmosphere with 5% CO2 content for 40 h, and finally cultured in an air atmosphere for 8 h.

[0117] Comparative Example 4

[0118] The difference from Example 3 is that in S6, when culturing in the improved cell culture medium, before culturing, differentiated nerve cells in a 1:1 ratio are added. During culturing, after culturing is completed in an air atmosphere with 10% CO2 content, direct culturing in an air atmosphere with 5% CO2 content is carried out. That is, ultrasonic treatment is not performed.

[0119] Select the differentiated nerve cell samples in the above Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4, Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, and Example 4, label the antigens in the cells with specific antibodies, then observe under a fluorescence microscope, and detect the cell performance after each sample culture is completed. The results are as follows:

[0120] 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 100 ng / ml 80 ng / ml 112 ng / ml 127 ng / ml 50 ng / ml 55 ng / ml 53 / ml 119 ng / ml

[0121] As can be seen from the above table, the NGF content, differentiation efficiency, and proliferation and differentiation efficiency of mesenchymal stem cells differentiated by the methods of Example 1 and Example 2 are higher, and the NGF content is 100 ng / ml.

[0122] Among them, compared with Example 1, in Example 2, exosomal miRNAs were not purified, and both its differentiation efficiency and NGF content decreased.

[0123] Among them, compared with Example 2, the differentiation efficiency and NGF content of the comparative example decreased significantly, indicating that when inducing neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, adding exosomal miRNAs and simultaneously improving the culture medium can improve the differentiation efficiency of neural cells and the NGF content.

[0124] The differentiation efficiency and NGF content of Example 3 are significantly better than those of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, indicating the special effect of the intermittent hypoxic atmosphere culture process adopted in Example 3, which requires a high-concentration CO2 atmosphere first and sufficient culture time.

[0125] The differentiation efficiency and NGF content of Example 4 are significantly better than those of Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, indicating the special effect of the ultrasonic co-culture process adopted in Example 4, especially demonstrating the necessity of ultrasonic treatment after a high-concentration CO2 atmosphere.

[0126] In summary, in the present invention, regulating target genes by exosomal miRNAs promotes the neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. By purifying exosomal miRNAs, impurities and interfering substances can be removed. Adding purified exosomal miRNAs during the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells enables the differentiated neural cells to have high biological activity, which can promote cell proliferation and differentiation, help mesenchymal stem cells grow and differentiate into the desired cell types better, and has an enhanced immunomodulatory effect, can inhibit inflammatory responses, promote tissue repair, and participate in the activation and differentiation processes of immune cells, improving the treatment effect.
