UNASSIGNED: MSPCs were isolated from mouse TMJ condyle explants and evaluated for their clonogenicity and pluripotential abilities. MSPC were examined for CD105 antigen using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.
UNASSIGNED: Immunohistochemistry revealed presence of CD105+ MSPCs in the proliferative zone of condyle\'s cartilage. Only 0.2% of isolated MSPCs exhibited CD105, along with the stem cell surface markers CD44 and Sca-1. In CD105+ MSPCs, intracellular immunostaining revealed significantly higher (p < 0.05) protein levels of collagen type 1, 2, proteoglycan 4. Ability for chondrogenic differentiation was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) after 4 weeks compared to CD105- cells, using alcian blue staining. CD105+ cells were found to resemble an early MSPC subgroup with significantly higher gene expression of biglycan, proteoglycan 4, collagen type 2, Gli2, Sox5 (p < 0.001) and Sox9 (p < 0.05). In contrast, significantly lower levels of Runx2 (p < 0.05), Osterix, Trps1, Col10a1 (p < 0.01), Ihh (p < 0.001) related to chondrocyte senescence and commitment to osteogenic lineage, were observed compared to CD105- cells.
UNASSIGNED: The study showed the existence of a CD105+ MSPC subgroup within TMJ fibrocartilage that may be activated to aid in fibrocartilage repair.
■从小鼠TMJ髁突外植体中分离出MSPC,并评估其克隆形成能力和多潜能能力。使用免疫组织化学和流式细胞术检查MSPC的CD105抗原。
■免疫组织化学显示在髁突软骨的增殖区中存在CD105+MSPCs。只有0.2%的分离的MSPC表现出CD105,以及干细胞表面标志物CD44和Sca-1。在CD105+MSPC中,细胞内免疫染色显示胶原蛋白1、2、蛋白聚糖4的蛋白质水平明显更高(p<0.05)。与CD105-细胞相比,4周后发现软骨形成分化的能力显着更高(p<0.05)。使用阿尔辛蓝染色。发现CD105细胞类似于早期MSPC亚群,其双糖链蛋白聚糖的基因表达明显更高,蛋白聚糖4、胶原2型、Gli2、Sox5(p<0.001)和Sox9(p<0.05)。相比之下,Runx2的水平显着降低(p<0.05),Osterix,Trps1,Col10a1(p<0.01),Ihh(p<0.001)与软骨细胞衰老和成骨谱系有关,与CD105-细胞相比观察到。
■研究表明,TMJ纤维软骨中存在CD105+MSPC亚群,可被激活以帮助纤维软骨修复。
