Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cell engineering, and particularly relates to a composition, a cell culture medium and application thereof in establishing trophoblast stem cells in bovine hatched blastocysts. BACKGROUND

[0002] Trophoblast cells are specialized cells in the placenta responsible for mediating the interaction between mother and fetus, which originate from the trophoblast outer layer (TE) of the blastocyst. In 1998, Tanaka cultured mouse blastocysts or early post-implantation trophoblast cells in the presence of fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4), and a permanent mouse trophoblast stem cell line was isolated. In 2010, researchers first reported the successful isolation and culture of human trophoblast stem cells. Compared with mice, the isolation and culture conditions of bovine trophoblast stem cells (bTSC) are more complex, mainly affected by multiple factors such as embryo collection technology, culture medium formula and cell state.

[0003] Compared with humans and mice, the research on hTSCs is relatively less. In 2023, Jiang and Wu used a chemical mixture developed from human and mouse expanded pluripotent stem cells to derive bovine trophoblast stem cells from bovine 7.5-day blastocysts and stably culture them for a long time. The bovine TSCs retain the developmental ability to differentiate into mature trophoblast cells and exhibit the transcriptional and epigenetic (chromatin accessibility) characteristics of early bovine embryonic trophoblast cells. However, the existing technology uses bovine in vitro developed 7.5-day blastocysts to culture bovine trophoblast stem cells, which may be related to the signal pathways of different states of blastocyst stages. The hatched blastocysts do not derive related trophoblast stem cells, and the use of LCDM cannot derive trophoblast stem cells from hatched blastocysts. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a composition comprising Activin A, CHIR99021 and recombinant human leukemia inhibitory factor (hLif), which can induce hatched blastocysts to establish bovine trophoblast stem cells and stably culture them.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: The present application provides a composition comprising Activin A, CHIR99021 and recombinant human leukemia inhibitory factor.

[0006] Preferably, the mass ratio of Activin A to CHIR99021 is (40-60 μg):(2x10 -5 ~4x10 -5 mol). The molar ratio of the CHIR99021 and the recombinant human leukemia inhibitory factor is 6: (0.5-1.5).

[0007] The application provides a bovine trophoblast stem cell culture medium, the cell culture medium is mTeSR 1 pluripotent stem cell culture medium; The concentration of activin A in the cell culture medium is 40-60 mu g / ml, the concentration of CHIR99021 is 20-40 mM, and the concentration of recombinant human leukemia inhibitory factor is 4-6 mM.

[0008] The application provides a culture medium composition, comprising the cell culture medium and bovine fetal fibroblasts.

[0009] Preferably, the culture medium composition further comprises a bovine trophoblast stem cell subculture medium.

[0010] The application provides application of the composition, the cell culture medium or the culture medium composition in establishment of bovine trophoblast stem cells.

[0011] The application provides a method for establishing trophoblast stem cells, comprising the following steps: The hatched blastocyst is inoculated into a feeder layer of bovine fetal fibroblasts treated with mitomycin, and is induced and cultured by using the cell culture medium, and after forming an expanded structure, subculture is carried out to obtain trophoblast stem cells.

[0012] Preferably, the concentration of the mitomycin is 0.3-0.7 mg / mL. The treatment time of the mitomycin is 2-3 h.

[0013] Preferably, the induction culture time is 3-10 d.

[0014] Preferably, the subculture time is 3-5 d.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages: The application provides a composition comprising Activin A, CHIR99021 and hLif. The application adopts three factors to culture the hatched blastocyst, and obtains bTSC in vitro, and can be long-term and stable in vitro, and expresses trophoblast cell specific markers at mRNA and protein levels. This can further enrich the culture system of bovine trophoblast stem cells, and can expand the understanding of the difference of signal pathways of bovine blastocysts at different stages.

[0016] The present application provides a method for establishing trophoblast stem cells, wherein the hatched blastocyst is inoculated into a feeder layer of mytomycin-treated bovine fetal fibroblasts, and the hatched blastocyst is induced and cultured in the cell culture medium to form an expanded structure, and then subcultured to obtain trophoblast stem cells. In the technical route for generating trophoblast stem cells in vitro, the difficulty at present is to gradually transition the embryo in a specific culture medium to be able to be stably cultured in vitro for a long time. Many studies focus on how to change the culture state and try different combinations of small factors. The present application can directly establish the hatched blastocyst by combining the feeder layer cells and regulating the small factors, and improve the purity of bTSC. By using the culture of the cell culture medium, the bTSC can be easily observed at the cell level. This not only can simulate in vivo development, but also provides a new technical route for constructing bovine trophoblast stem cells in vitro: establishing trophoblast cells through blastocysts (hatched) in different states. The bTSC established in the present application with high efficiency in vitro can further verify the in vitro growth ability of the trophoblast cells, and can be stably cultured for a long time during the whole culture process. The method of the present application has low cost, simple operation and is suitable for large-scale in vitro culture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0049] The method for preparing bovine fetal fibroblasts (BFF) is disclosed in the prior art (Zhao, L. X., Gao, X. F., Zheng, Y. X., Wang, Z. X., Zhao, G. P., Ren, J., … Li, X. H. (2021). Establishment of bovine expanded potential stem cells. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 118(15), e2018505118. doi:10.1073 / pnas.2018505118) and is preserved in the 432 laboratory of the School of Life Sciences, Inner Mongolia University.

[0050] Example 1 The method for establishing bovine feeder layer stem cells in vitro (see schematic diagram Figure 1 ), comprising the following steps: 1. Preparation of bovine fetal fibroblasts: 37 ℃ water bath thawing bovine fetal fibroblasts (BFF) cells (5.0×10 5 cells) into 3 ml R stop solution in advance, centrifuged at 1300 rpm for 3 min, discarded the supernatant, resuspended the cell pellet with 20 mL M10 culture medium and inoculated into 2 15 cm culture dishes (the culture dishes were coated with gelatin in advance 20 min in advance), and incubated in a 38.5 ℃ CO2 incubator for 3-4 days. On the fifth day, the BFF cells in the two culture dishes were subcultured at a ratio of 1:10 into 20 dishes (the culture dishes were coated with gelatin in advance 20 min in advance) and cultured for 5 days.

[0051] After 5 days, 400 μL of 0.5 mg / mL mitomycin was added to each of the 20 15 cm dishes and incubated in the incubator for 2.5 h. The culture medium was discarded and the cells were washed with 5 mL of DPBS. 5 mL of preheated Tryple enzyme (Gibco Company) was added to each dish and incubated for 5-10 min. After 5 min of incubation, the cells were observed under a microscope until 70-80% of the cells floated, and 5 mL of R stop solution was immediately added. The cells were resuspended by blowing and finally collected in a 50 mL centrifuge tube. The cell pellet was centrifuged at 1300 rpm for 5 min to obtain the mitomycin-treated bovine fetal fibroblasts. 10 mL of M10 culture medium was added to resuspend the feeder layer cells, and 10 μL of the cell suspension was added to 990 μL of DPBS for cell counting.

[0052] One part was frozen at 4.2 x 10 6 cells per tube. The cells were transferred to a -80 °C refrigerator according to the programmed cooling method. The next day, the frozen BFF was thawed, and the cell density and growth were observed. If each step was normal, the frozen tube was transferred to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.

[0053] Another part was inoculated at 4.2 x 10 6 cells per well in a 24-well plate (the 24-well plate was pre-coated with gelatin for 20 min), 2 ml of M10 culture solution was added, and the plate was incubated in a 38.5 °C CO2 incubator for 2 d. The M10 culture solution was removed with a pipette, and the bovine fetal fibroblast feeder layer (BFF-feeder) was obtained for use.

[0054] 2. Establishment of feeder layer stem cells and subculture: The 7.5-day blastocysts obtained from the oviduct of a cow were transferred to IVC culture solution containing 10% FBS for incubation. The blastocyst morphology was observed daily to ensure that the embryo had sufficient nutrition. After 4 days of in vitro culture, the blastocysts hatched from the zona pellucida were subjected to inner cell mass removal. The hatched blastocysts with removed inner cell mass were transferred to a 24-well plate pre-coated with BFF-feeder, and 2 ml of bovine feeder layer stem cell culture solution in Table 1 was added for induction culture (one hatched blastocyst with removed inner cell mass was added to each 24-well plate). The induction culture was performed at 37 °C in an environment with a CO2 volume concentration of 5%. After about 7 days, the cells began to expand on the feeder layer and form flat clones. The cell state was observed daily, and the culture solution was replaced every 48 h. When the cells grew to about 80%, they were subcultured.

[0055] Subculture method: the cells in the incubator were removed, the culture solution in the well was removed, 1 ml of DPBS buffer was slowly added to the well, the culture plate was gently shaken several times, and the well was washed to remove dead cells and impurities. After the DPBS was removed, 300 μL of preheated Tryple enzyme was immediately added, and after 3 min in the incubator, the cells were observed under a microscope to determine whether they were no longer adherent. Then, 700 μL of preheated R stop solution was added, and the mixture was repeatedly blown several times. The cell suspension was transferred to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and centrifuged (1300 rpm, 3 min). After centrifugation, the bovine feeder layer stem cell culture solution in Table 1 was added, and the cells were subcultured on a 24-well plate at a density of 1 x 10 5 cells per ml at 37 °C in an environment with a CO2 volume concentration of 5%.

[0056] Figure 2bTSC obtained from the ACL system. From P0, P5 and P20 in the figure, which are the 0th, 5th and 20th passages, it can be seen that bTSC presents a classic flat clone and can be stably cultured in vitro for a long time.

[0057] Example 2 Karyotype analysis of bovine trophoblast stem cells The cell culture solution of bTSC stably cultured (passaged 5 times) in Example 1 was aspirated with a pipette, and a certain volume of colchicine was added according to the cell density for 3 h of treatment. After colchicine treatment, the cell culture solution was discarded, and the cells were digested with TrypLE for 3 min, then 10% KSR was added for termination, and then placed in a centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 3 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded, 8 mL of 0.075 mol / L preheated KCL solution was added to the cell precipitate, the cells were resuspended by blowing, and then 37°C water bath for 10 min for hypotonic treatment. 1 min before the end of hypotonic treatment, 1 mL of pre-cooled fixative was added for pre-fixation, and after mixing, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, 8 mL of pre-cooled fixative was added, and the cell precipitate was resuspended, then fixed in a 37°C water bath for 30 min. After fixation, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 10 min. This step was repeated twice. The last time the slide was briefly immersed in boiling pure water and then placed in a -20°C refrigerator for pre-cooling. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, the cells were resuspended with 300 µL of pre-cooled fixative, and the cell suspension was evenly and vertically dropped onto the pre-cooled slide. After dropping the slide, the slide was placed in a 70°C oven for 1 h. During the drying of the slide, the dried slide was placed in a preheated Giemsa staining solution and soaked in a 37°C water bath for 10 min to complete the staining. After staining, the back of the slide was rinsed with excess stain and then air-dried at room temperature. The number and morphology of chromosomes were observed under an inverted microscope.

[0058] Figure 3 The karyotype analysis result of bTSC is consistent with the distribution of bovine (2n=60) chromosomes, indicating that bTSC is a normal diploid karyotype.

[0059] Example 3 Flow cytometry analysis of trophoblast stem cells bTSC and BFF-feeder stably cultured (passaged for 5 times) in Example 1 were collected in ice PBS solution, centrifuged at 4 °C, 250 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in fresh ice PBS solution and centrifuged under the same conditions. The cells were blocked with blocking buffer (2.5 g BSA dissolved in 50 mL PBS solution) at room temperature for 15 min, and then terminated by adding appropriate amount of PBS buffer and divided into different groups according to experimental requirements. The blank control group and the experimental group were prepared. After being fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min in the dark, anhydrous methanol was added for incubation in the dark for 10 min. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 4 °C, 250 rpm for 15 min. In the experimental group, Anti-CDX2 and Anti-GATA3 antibodies were diluted at a ratio of 1:500 μL in 100 μL flow cytometry staining buffer and incubated with the antibodies at room temperature in the dark for 1 h. The eluent (0.05% Tween-20 in PBS buffer) was used for centrifugation under the above conditions. In the experimental group, DyLight 549 dye and DyLight 488 dye were diluted at a ratio of 1:1000 μL in 100 μL flow cytometry staining buffer and incubated with the antibodies at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. Non-single cell clusters were filtered using a 300-mesh screen, and the samples were analyzed using a cytoFLEX S flow cytometer.

[0061] Example 4 Detection of related genes and protein levels CDX2, Gata3, and Tfap2c are commonly used for the identification of trophoblast stem cells, and together reflect the trophoblast properties of the cells. Oct4 is a pluripotent stem cell marker. After bTSC in Example 1 was stably cultured, sampling was performed, and the cells were detected at the mRNA and protein levels.

[0062] Gene level detection: After removing the culture solution, add TRIzol reagent in the culture dish, use micropipette to blow and react fully. After the adherent cells are completely lysed, collect them into a centrifuge tube. After standing at room temperature for 5 min, add chloroform according to the volume of one-fifth of the previous TRIzol reagent.

After centrifugation, carefully tilt the centrifuge tube at 45 degrees and take it out, collect the RNA in the supernatant into a new centrifuge tube. Add isopropanol. After standing at room temperature for 10 min, centrifuge at 4°C, 12000 rpm for 10 min. The collected precipitate is vortexed and resuspended in freshly prepared 75% ethanol, and then centrifuged at 4°C, 7500 rpm for 5 min. After removing the supernatant, invert it on the clean bench and wait until it is ensured that there is no ethanol residue in the centrifuge tube. Resuspend the precipitate with a micropipette by adding enzyme-free water, and then place the sample in a water bath at 55°C for 10 min. Detect the RNA concentration by ultraviolet spectrophotometer and perform reverse transcription. Prepare the following reaction mixture with a total volume of 10 μL in a PCR tube: 7 μL of RNase Free ddH2O, 1 μL of dNTP Mixture, 1 μL of Oligo dT Primer, and 1 μg of RNA template. Incubate the above reaction mixture at 55°C for 5 min, and then immediately cool on ice.
