摘要: 背景与目的: 采用体外获得性表达外源发状分裂相关增强子-1(hairy and enhancer of split 1,Hes1)基因的方法,探讨Hes1在肝干细胞分化以及胆管上皮细胞发育中的作用。 材料与方法: 通过PCR方法从小鼠基因组中克隆Hes1基因片段,构建表达载体pEGFP-C1-Hes1和pcDNA3.1- Hes1,将2种表达载体分别转染肝原始细胞系(LEPCs) ,应用RT-PCR和Real-time PCR技术检测胆管细胞分子标志物CK19、GGT,胆管上皮细胞相关转录因子HNF6、HNF1β,肝细胞分子标志物GS、BGP和肝卵圆细胞的分子标志物Thy-1的表达,并在荧光显微镜下观察EGFP标记的LEPCs细胞系荧光强度的变化。结果:成功构建表达载体pEGFP-C1- Hes1和pcDNA3.1-Hes1。RT-PCR和Real-time PCR检测均表明胆管细胞分子标志CK19、GGT表达量上调;胆管上皮细胞相关转录因子HNF6、HNF1β表达上调;肝细胞分子标志GS、BGP表达量下调;卵圆细胞的分子标志Thy-1表达量下调;LEPCs细胞系绿色荧光增强。 结论: 初步证明小鼠肝原始细胞经Hes1的表达诱导后可向胆管上皮细胞方向分化,推测Hes1为胆管上皮细胞分化的转录调控因子。

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: To study the differentiation of mouse liver epithelial progenitor cells(LEPCs) to cholangiocytes induced by hairy and enhancer of split 1(Hes1)gene in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Hes1 gene was amplified by PCR from mouse tail genomic DNA and subcloned into pEGFP-C1 and pcDNA3.1 vector.LEPCs were transfected and performed in vitro. Cholangiocyte markers, CK19, GGT, HNF6 and HNF1β; hepatocyte markers, GS and BGP; hepatic oval cell marker, Thy-1 were assayed with RT-PCR and Real-time PCR. The fluorescence of the LEPCs tagged with EGFP was observed in vitro. RESULTS: Cholangiocyte markers, CK19, GGT, HNF6 and HNF1β, were up-regulated. Hepatocyte markers GS and BGP, and hepatic oval cell marker Thy-1, were down- regulated. CONCLUSION: It indicated that LEPCs differentiated to cholangiocytes initially in vitro. and Hes1 might play important roles in the differentiation of LEPCs and influence cholangiocyte versus hepatocyte fate determination.
