Abstract

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an excellent donor graft source due to their potential for self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation. However, the potential mechanisms involved in MSC homing and neural differentiation are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a chemokine, SDF-1a, and Wnt3a ligand on rat MSCs' migration and b-mercaptoethanol (BME)-induced neural differentiation of MSCs.

Materials and methods: MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow and cultured in vitro to passage 3. Scratch tests and transwell assays were used to estimate the effects of SDF-1a (25 ng/mL) and Wnt3a (10 ng/mL) on the migration of MSCs. The expression of Wnt/PCP pathway proteins RhoA, c-Jun, ATF2, and Wnt3a were assessed by Western blot. The 5 mM BME-induced neural differentiation of MSCs was determined by immunofluorescence to detect neuron- and astrocyte-specific markers such as nestin, GFAP, and Olig2.

Results: Wnt3a promoted the migration ability of MSCs and regulated the expression of RhoA, c-Jun, and ATF2 proteins. MSCs could differentiate into neural stem cells and astrocytes. Wnt3a enhanced BME induced neurogenesis in MSCs by increasing the protein expression of RhoA, c-Jun, and Wnt3a.

Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that the Wnt/PCP pathway promotes migration and neural differentiation of rat MSC.

Wnt/PCP通路在体外调控间充质干细胞的迁移和神经分化。

间充质干细胞(MSCs)具有自我更新和多向分化的潜力，是一种很好的移植供体来源。然而，MSC归巢和神经分化的潜在机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨趋化因子SDF-1a和Wnt3a配体对大鼠间充质干细胞迁移和b-巯基乙醇(BME)诱导的间充质干细胞神经分化的影响。材料和方法:从大鼠骨髓中分离MSCs，体外培养至传代3。采用划痕实验和transwell实验来评估SDF-1a (25 ng/mL)和Wnt3a (10 ng/mL)对MSCs迁移的影响。Western blot检测Wnt/PCP通路蛋白RhoA、c-Jun、ATF2、Wnt3a的表达。通过免疫荧光检测神经元和星形胶质细胞特异性标记物，如巢蛋白、GFAP和Olig2，检测5 mM bme诱导的MSCs神经分化。结果:Wnt3a能促进MSCs的迁移能力，调节RhoA、c-Jun、ATF2蛋白的表达。MSCs可分化为神经干细胞和星形胶质细胞。Wnt3a通过增加RhoA、c-Jun和Wnt3a的蛋白表达，增强BME诱导的MSCs神经发生。结论:Wnt/PCP通路促进大鼠间充质干细胞的迁移和神经分化。

期刊介绍： "Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica" is an international, English-language journal publishing articles in the areas of histochemistry, cytochemistry and cell & tissue biology. "Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica" was established in 1963 under the title: ‘Folia Histochemica et Cytochemica’ by the Polish Histochemical and Cytochemical Society as a journal devoted to the rapidly developing fields of histochemistry and cytochemistry. In 1984, the profile of the journal was broadened to accommodate papers dealing with cell and tissue biology, and the title was accordingly changed to "Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica". "Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica" is published quarterly, one volume a year, by the Polish Histochemical and Cytochemical Society.
