摘要
目的:体外模拟胚胎早期AGM区造血微环境,诱导胚胎干细胞(ESCs)分化为造血干细胞(HSCs)。方法:将小鼠E14ESCs在含BMP-4及VEGF的半固体培养基中诱导为拟胚体(EB),分别于3、6、9、12、15d时收获EB,流式细胞术检测Flk-1+细胞含量。取Flk-1+细胞处于高峰期的EB细胞,在人AGM区基质细胞饲养层上进一步诱导分化,并设无饲养层对照,分别于3、6、9、12d时收获细胞计数、流式细胞术检测Sca-1+c-kit+细胞含量,并分析造血细胞集落形成能力。结果:诱导E14细胞形成EB过程中添加BMP4+VEGF的因子组Flk-1+细胞在第9d达峰值(27.53%±2.84%),与未添加因子组(8.77%±1.12%)比较差异显著(P<0.05)。将培养9d的EB细胞在hAGMS3、hAGMS4饲养层上进一步诱导分化,第6d时Sca-1+c-kit+细胞达峰值,分别为7.31%±1.21%、7.62%±1.52%,其绝对数分别扩增(2.57±0.48)倍、(2.35±0.36)倍,与无饲养层组比较显著差异(P<0.05)。该分化阶段的Sca-1+c-kit+细胞具有形成各系造血细胞集落的能力。结论:人胚早期AGM区基质细胞能促进小鼠ESCs定向分化为HSCs,为研究ESCs分化为HSCs的分子机制提供了实验模型。
AIM: To direct embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro by simulating the hematogenic microenvironment in human early embryonic aorta - gonad - mesonephero (AGM) region. METHODS : Murine E14 embronic stem cell line was used for two - step differentiation. In the first step of primary differentiation, E14 ESCs were seeded into semisolid methylcellulose - based medium containing bone morphogenesis protein 4 (BMP4) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for embryoid body (EB) formation. On days 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15, single EB cells were analyzed for Flk - 1^+ cells amount through flow cytometry. In the second step, single cell from EB containing most Flk - 1^+ cells was further co - cultured with human AGM stromal cells in non - contact system. On co - culture days of 3, 6, 9 and 12 days, cells were collected for cell count, flow cytometry for Sca - 1^+ c - kit^+ cells analysis, and colony forming cell assay. RESULTS: During the EB formation, BMP4 + VEGF promoted Flk - 1^+ cell genesis on day 9 at peak pencentage value of 27.53% ±2. 84%, which was statistically higher than that in control group as 8. 77 ±1.10 (P 〈 0. 05 ). Collagenase - disassociated single cell from day 9 EB was co - cultured with human AGM stromal cells of hAGMS3 or hAGMS4 for further hematopeietic differentiation. On day 6 Sca - 1^+ c - kit^+ cells got to peak value as 7. 31%± 1.21% [ (2.57 ±0. 48) folds] and 7.62% ±1.52% [ (2. 35±0. 36) folds] in hAGMS3 and hAGMS4 feeder systems, respectively, both of which were greater than those values of no - stroma groups at the same culture duration ( P 〈 0. 05 ). Colonogenic cell assay showed that these Sea - 1^+ c - kit^+ cells had ability of forming multiple lineage hematopeietic colonies. CONCLUSION: BMP4 in combination with VEGF promotes Flk - 1^+ cell genesis during EB formation in vitro. Stromal cells from early human embryonic AGM region further enhance the directed differentiation of these primitive cells into HSCs. This two - step induction differentiation model can be used for molecular mechanism study of ESCs hematopeietic differentiation.
