摘要: 目的:研究let-7a对人牙髓干细胞(human dental pulp stem cells,hDPSCs)增殖、成骨分化、凋亡的影响及可能的作用机制。方法:通过let-7a mimics、let-7a agomir及let-7a inhibitor转染hDPSCs。将细胞分为4组,过表达对照组(let-7a control组/let-7a agomir control 组)、过表达let-7a组(let-7a mimics组/let-7a agomir 组)、敲低let-7a对照组(let-7a inhibitor control组)和敲低let-7a组(let-7a inhibitor组)。CCK-8法检测细胞在转染后继续培养24、48、72 h的增殖情况,茜素红染色检测钙化结节。Western印迹法检测细胞碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,ALP)、骨桥蛋白(osteopontin,OPN)、4E-结合蛋白(4E-binding protein 1,4EBP1)、p-4EBP1、哺乳动物类雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)和p-mTOR蛋白表达。Annexin V-APC/ 7-AAD细胞凋亡检测试剂盒检测转染后的细胞凋亡水平。采用GraphPad Prism 5.0软件进行统计分析。结果:Let-7a抑制hDPSCs增殖,对细胞成骨向分化和凋亡具有促进作用。Let-7a可下调细胞内4EBP1、p-4EBP1、mTOR和p-mTOR的表达水平。结论:Let-7a可能通过抑制mTOR-4EBP1分子通路,从而抑制hDPSCs增殖,促进其成骨分化和凋亡。

Abstract: PURPOSE: To study the effect and possible mechanism of let-7a on proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of human dental pulp stem cell (hDPSCs). METHODS: The cells were divided into four groups: overexpression control (let-7a control/let-7a agomir control), overexpression let-7a (let-7a mimics/let-7a agomir), knockdown let-7a control (let-7a inhibitor control) and knockdown let-7a (let-7a inhibitor). Cell counting kit-8 assay(CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation of cells at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after transfection. Calcified nodules were detected by Alizarin red staining. The protein expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1), p-4EBP1, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and p-mTOR were detected by Western blot. Annexin V-APC/7-AAD cell apoptosis detection kit was used to detect the level of apoptosis after transfection. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. RESULTS: Let-7a inhibited proliferation of hDPSCs and promoted odontoblast differentiation and apoptosis. Let-7a down-regulated the expression of 4EBP1, p-4EBP1, mTOR and p-mTOR. CONCLUSIONS: Let-7a may inhibit proliferation of hDPSCs and promote their differentiation and apoptosis by inhibiting mTOR-4EBP1 molecular pathway.
