To investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on the ability of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) to promote osteoclastogenesis.
SHED were obtained from deciduous teeth and isolated, purified, cultured in vitro. An indirect co-culture system of SHED and osteoclast precursor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was established. The expression of osteoclastic gene from PBMCs and NF-κB from SHED were determined after treatment with TNF-α (0, 5, 10, 50, 100 ng/mL) by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot. SPSS 19.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Under the stimulation of 10ng/mL TNF-α, the expression of CTSK and TRAP was markedly upregulated in PBMCs. Meanwhile, the results of Western blot and real-time RT-PCR showed that the expression of cytoplasmic phosphorylated inhibitor of NF-κB α (p-IκBα) and nuclear p65 in SHED were significantly higher than that without TNF-α stimulation after 10 ng/mL TNF-α treatment.
TNF-α regulates the ability of SHED to promote osteoclastogenesis through NF-κB signal pathways.
研究肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)对人脱落乳牙干细胞(SHED)促进破骨细胞生成能力的影响。
从乳牙中获取SHED并进行分离、纯化及体外培养。建立SHED与破骨细胞前体外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)的间接共培养体系。用TNF-α(0、5、10、50、100 ng/mL)处理后,通过实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法检测PBMCs中破骨细胞相关基因及SHED中核因子κB(NF-κB)的表达。采用SPSS 19.0软件包进行统计分析。
在10 ng/mL TNF-α刺激下,PBMCs中组织蛋白酶K(CTSK)和抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶(TRAP)的表达明显上调。同时,蛋白质免疫印迹法和实时RT-PCR结果显示,10 ng/mL TNF-α处理后,SHED中细胞质磷酸化核因子κB抑制蛋白α(p-IκBα)和细胞核p65的表达显著高于未用TNF-α刺激时。
TNF-α通过NF-κB信号通路调节SHED促进破骨细胞生成的能力。
