摘要:

目的: 通过比较几种成年小鼠胸腺上皮细胞(TECs)分离和富集方法的效果,寻找一种具有准确体内代表性的高效TECs富集方法。 方法: 27只6 ~ 8周龄BABL/c小鼠分为9组,每组3只。1 分离实验分为5个分离组,包括1.0 g·L-1collagenase Ⅴ组和0.5、0.7、1.0及2.0 U·mL-1 LiberaseTM组,按照相应的酶工作浓度对胸腺组织进行消化处理;2 富集实验分为4个富集组,包括对照组和免疫磁珠(MACS)、Percoll及Ficoll 富集组,各组用1.0 U·mL-1LiberaseTM消化胸腺组织后,将所得的单细胞悬液分别用MACS、Percoll和Ficoll法进行细胞富集(对照组除外)。分离组通过流式细胞术检测细胞活力及胸腺基质细胞(TSCs)的产量;富集组通过流式细胞术检测细胞活力、TSCs比例和TSCs中TECs重要标志上皮细胞黏附分子(EpCAM)的表达丰度,检测Percoll富集组和对照组TECs的2个亚群--皮质TECs(cTECs)和髓质TECs(mTECs)比例。 结果: 1.0 U·mL-1 Liberase TM组中TSCs的产量明显高于0.5和0.7 U·mL-1LiberaseTM组(P<0.01),且其细胞活力及消化时间均优于1.0 g·L-1collagenase Ⅴ组(P<0.01)。3个富集组的细胞活力均较高,但组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);与对照组比较,3个富集组TECs比例明显增加(P<0.05或 P<0.01);在3个富集组中,Percoll富集组富集的TECs比例高于其他2个富集组(P<0.01);与对照组比较,Percoll富集组cTECs和mTECs的百分比及cTEC/mTEC比值无明显变化(P >0.05)。 结论: Liberase TM较collagenase Ⅴ更适用于消化成年小鼠胸腺,其最适消化浓度为1.0 U·mL-1。本研究采用的3种富集方法均可以提高TECs比例,对细胞的破坏均较小;Percoll富集法最有效,在富集后不影响TECs亚群细胞比例,便于后续实验操作。

Abstract:

Objective: To compare the effects between adult murine thymic epithelial cells (TECs)isolation and enrichment methods,and to find a high-efficiency TECs enrichment method with accurate invivo representation.Methods: Twenty-seven BABL/c mice (6-8 weeks)were divided into nine groups,and each group contained three mice. ① The isolation experiment contained five isolation groups: collagenase Ⅴ 1.0 g·L-1 group and 0.5,0.7,1.0,2.0 U·mL-1 LiberaseTM groups. Thymus digestion was performed according to relevant enzyme working concentrations. ② The enrichment experiment contained four enrichment groups: control,magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS),Percoll and Ficoll enrichment groups;in each group,thymus digestion was performed using the optimal working concentration (1.0 U·mL-1)of Liberase TM and the digests were continued for TECs enrichment by MACS,Percoll,Ficoll respectively (except control group). For isolation experiment,in each group,the cell viability and the yield of thymic stromal cells (TSCs)were examined by flow cytometry. For the enrichment experiment,the cell viability,the percentage of TSCs and the expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)in TSCs in each group were examined by flow cytometry. Furthermore,in both Percoll enrichment group and control group,the percentages of cortical TECs (cTECs)and medullary TECs (mTECs)were examined as well.Results: For the isolation experiment,the yield of TSCs in 1.0 U·mL-1 LiberaseTM group was higher than those in 0.5 and 0.7 U·mL-1 LiberaseTM groups(P<0.01);the cell viability and digestion time in 1.0 U·mL-1 LiberaseTM group were superior to 1.0 g·L-1 collagenase Ⅴ group (P<0.01). The cell viabilities in three enrichment groups were higher,and there were no significant differences between them (P > 0.05).Compared with control group,the percentages of TECs in three enrichment groups were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). And among three enrichment groups,the percentage of TECs in Percoll enrichment group was higher than those in other two groups (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the percentages of cTECs and mTECs as well as the ratios of cTEC to mTEC between control group and Percoll enrichment group (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Liberase TM is more suitable for adult murine TECs isolation than collagenase Ⅴ and its optimal digestion concentration is 1.0 U·mL-1.All the three enrichment methods mentioned above can increase the percentage of TECs,and they all do little harm to the cells;Percoll is the most efficient method for adult murine TECs enrichment among three enrichment methods,and it doesn't affect the ratio of cTEC to mTEC,thereby making it easier for the following study.
