通过Forskolin将小鼠成纤维细胞重编程为神经元试验

Reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into neurons with Forskolin

  • 摘要: 为了给临床神经退行性疾病治疗提供有应用价值的方法、突破试验不能转化为临床这一瓶颈,试验通过使用单一小分子化合物Forskolin调控小鼠成纤维细胞命运的方法,使其重编程为神经元,并进行了RT-qPCR、免疫荧光检测。结果表明:经诱导后的神经元表现出典型的神经元形态;RT-qPCR结果显示神经元相关基因表达上调,成纤维相关基因表达下调;免疫荧光结果显示,诱导神经元的神经元相关蛋白TUJ1、MAP2的表达呈阳性。说明使用Forskolin替代转录因子在体外可以实现将小鼠成纤维细胞直接重编程为神经元,应用此成果可在临床治疗上避免外来遗传物介入导致的致瘤致病风险。

     

    Abstract: In order to develop a rational method for the treatment of clinical neurodegenerative diseases and break through the bottleneck of translating clinical assay into clinical practice, the experiment was conducted by using a single small molecule compound Forskolin to regulate and reprogram mouse fibroblasts into neurons which were detected with RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence. The results showed that the induced neurons showed typical neurological morphology. The expression of neuron-related genes was up-regulated, and the expression of fibroblast-related genes was down-regulated. The expression of neuron-related proteins TUJ1 and MAP2 were positive. The results indicated that Forskolin substitute transcription factor could be used to achieve direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into neurons in vitro and avoid the risk of oncogenic disease caused by foreign genetic intervention in clinical treatment.
