Summary

在这里,我们提出了一种有效的方法,以研究静脉注射人类中发性血质细胞的抗纤维化活性,从整个脐带获得后,通过在C57BL的内切治疗注射注射肺损伤/6 小鼠。该协议可以很容易地扩展到其他疗法的临床前测试。

Abstract

肺纤维化是几种人类肺病的标志,病因不同。由于目前的疗法相当有限,小鼠模型仍然是开发新的抗纤维化策略的重要工具。在这里,我们提供了一种有效的方法,以研究从全脐带(hUC-MSC)获得的人类中位血质基质细胞在体内抗纤维化活性,以减轻博霉素引起的肺损伤。C57BL/6小鼠接受单次内切注射布洛霉素(1.5 U/kg体重),然后两次向尾静脉注入hUC-MSC(2.5 x 10 5),在布洛霉素给予后24小时和7天。在第8天、第14天或第21天牺牲时,将分析炎症和纤维化变化、胶原蛋白含量和hUC-MSC在外植肺组织中的存在。将小霉素注射到小鼠气管中,可直接瞄准肺部,导致广泛的肺部炎症和纤维化。双剂量hUC-MSC的系统施用导致博霉素引起的肺损伤的早期钝化。静脉注射hUC-MSC被暂时移植到小鼠肺部,在那里他们发挥抗炎和抗纤维化活性。最后,该方案已成功应用于人类肺纤维化实验小鼠模型hUC-MSC的临床前测试。然而,这种技术可以很容易地扩展,既研究不同内切施用的物质对肺部病理生理学的影响,也验证新的抗炎和抗纤维化全身疗法。

Introduction

肺纤维化是一种渐进的病理过程,其特点是细胞外基质成分(主要是I型胶原蛋白)在肺间质内沉积过多,导致肺功能受损。它是几种具有不同病因的人类肺部疾病的标志,是临床预后不良因素。由于目前的疗法相当有限1,小鼠模型仍然是一个重要工具,以进一步调查影响疾病发病和进展的致病机制,以及开发新的抗纤维化药物策略2,3.

迄今为止,博洛霉素的施用一直是实验诱发肺纤维化最常见的应用模型。除了多种分娩方法(包括静脉注射、腹管内、皮下和吸入外,宫内注射的博洛霉素已成为最常用的途径4、5。本文所描述的方法已经开发出来,以避免霉素对气管粘管的烫伤作用。事实上,通过将气管外在并通过操作显微镜进行可视化,可以实现将整个体积的博洛霉素溶液直接注入下气道,而不会在上气道中溢出。当有所需的外科专业知识和仪器可用时,此方法允许安全、可靠和可重复的诱导肺部炎症和纤维化,如下所述。

Protocol

所有动物护理和实验程序均获得意大利卫生部的批准(授权书456/2016-PR),并根据《赫尔辛基公约宣言》执行。 1. 老鼠 购买后,让小鼠在注射前至少7天适应。注:小鼠在无病原体条件下被安置在动物设施中,在12小时光/暗循环的恒定温度和湿度下保持,并免费获得水和标准颗粒食物。 使用雌性C57BL/6小鼠,在12至16周大时注射。 2. 内切治疗注射?…

Representative Results

肺损伤是由在100μL无菌盐水中单次注射1.5 U/kg的硫酸洋霉素体重引起的。对照动物接受相同量盐水的内切注射。两针hUC-MSC(2.5 x 105在200 μL无菌盐水)注入小鼠尾静脉,24小时和7天后,博洛霉素。对照动物接受同等体积的无菌盐水的静脉注射。小鼠在博霉素给给后的第8天、第14天和第21天被牺牲用于肺外植和组织处理(图1)。 <p class="jove_content" fo:ke…

Discussion

内切管管理是向肺部输送外源性药物的优先途径。几年来,将肌霉素直接注射到气管中已被广泛用于诱发肺纤维化13,最近,已经开发出更先进的非侵入性技术,以实现这14,15 ,16.

此处描述的方法提供了一些有意义的好处,以超过一些潜在的限制。气管的注射需要手术干预,携带手术本身引起的并?…
