    摘要

    目的:探讨丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶25(serine/threonine protein kinase 25,STK25)对星形胶质细胞活化及实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis,EAE)小鼠疾病进程的影响。方法:髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白35-55 (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55,MOG35-55)诱导小鼠EAE模型,Real-time PCR、Western blot和ELISA法分别检测脊髓组织中STK25、肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)与干扰素诱导蛋白-10(interferon-inducible protein-10,IP-10)的转录水平与蛋白表达;免疫荧光双标法检测STK25在脊髓星形胶质细胞中的表达。干扰素(interferon,IFN)-γ体外刺激小鼠原代星形胶质细胞后不同时间,上述方法检测STK25的蛋白表达及细胞因子的转录水平变化。将特异性靶向星形胶质细胞的对照及STK25敲减的重组慢病毒悬液感染星形胶质细胞后,IFN-γ刺激,测定TNF-α与IP-10的转录水平;同时给予小鼠病毒悬液 7 d后,诱导EAE模型,Western blot检测脊髓组织STK25的表达;Real-time PCR检测脊髓炎性因子与趋化因子转录水平。HE 和劳克坚牢蓝染色(Luxol fast blue,LFB)观察脊髓炎症细胞浸润与髓鞘损伤。结果:与对照组相比,EAE组小鼠STK25的表达水平显著降低,炎性因子与趋化因子的转录与分泌水平明显升高;同时脊髓组织星形胶质细胞STK25的表达明显下降。IFN-γ 体外刺激星形胶质细胞STK25表达降低时,炎性因子生成增加;进一步敲减星形胶质细胞内源性的STK25基因,体外星形胶质细胞及体内EAE小鼠脊髓中炎性因子与趋化因子的生成显著升高,同时加剧了EAE小鼠脊髓炎症细胞浸润与髓鞘脱失。结论:STK25可能通过影响星形胶质细胞的活化,调节炎性与趋化因子的产生,从而参与EAE小鼠的病变进程。

    Abstract

    Objective:This study aims to investigate the effects of serine/threonine protein kinase 25(STK25)on the activation of astrocytes as well as the process of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)in mice. Methods:The EAE mouse model was induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55(MOG35 - 55)polypeptide. The transcription levels and the expression of STK25, tumor necrosis factor- α(TNF-α)and interferon inducible protein 10(IP-10)in spinal cord tissue and serum were detected by ELISA, Real -time PCR and Western blot,respectively. The expression of STK25 in astrocytes in spinal cord tissue of mice was detected by immunofluorescence double staining. Primary mouse astrocytes were stimulated in vitro with interferon-γ(IFN-γ),and the expression of STK25 and the transcription levels of cytokines were detected by the above methods at different times. Primary mouse astrocytes were transfected by recombinant lentiviral vector,and stimulated with IFN - γ,the transcription levels of TNF - α and IP - 10 were measured. Meantime,the EAE model was induced after injecting vectors 7 days,and the expression of STK25 in spinal cord tissue was detected by Western blot,the transcription levels of TNF - α and IP - 10 were detected by Real - time PCR,and the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the demyelination of spinal cord were observed by HE and Luxol fast blue(LFB)staining methods,respectively. Results:Compared with control group,the transcription level and the expression of STK25 in EAE group were significantly reduced while the levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were significantly increased. Moreover,the expression of STK25 in astrocytes in spinal cord was significantly reduced. The expression of STK25 in astrocytes was decreased after stimulated by IFN-γ in vitro,and the production of inflammatory cytokines were increased. After specific knocking down endogenous STK25 in astrocyte,the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in vitro astrocytes and in vivo EAE mice were increased significantly,which exacerbated the inflammatory cell infiltration and myelination of spinal cord tissue in EAE mice. Conclusion:STK25 may participate in the pathological process of EAE mice by affecting the activation of astrocytes and regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

  • 多发性硬化(multiple sclerosis,MS)是中枢神经系统(central nervous system,CNS)的慢性进行性自身免疫性疾病,以免疫细胞浸润脊髓白质引起的炎症反应、轴突损伤、脱髓鞘病变为主要特征[1]。实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(experimental autoimmune enceph⁃ alomyelitis,EAE)是公认的研究MS的理想模型[2]。研究表明,在 EAE 中,活化的星形胶质细胞通过释放炎症因子与趋化因子,募集炎症细胞浸润至CNS,加剧血脑屏障损伤,在疾病的发生发展中发挥关键作用[3],但其在MS/EAE中的具体作用机制尚不明确。

  • 丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶 25(serine/threonine protein kinase25,STK25)是哺乳动物不育系20样激酶(mammalian sterile⁃20⁃like,MST)家族的一员,可使下游相关信号蛋白丝氨酸、苏氨酸残基发生磷酸化,激活相关转录因子,并参与协同刺激信号的转导,在神经系统发育、神经炎症中发挥重要作用[4-5]。研究表明,STK25与人类中枢神经系统的发育高度相关,敲除STK25会直接影响胚胎神经元的发育[6];而 STK25基因缺失会导致一系列神经功能障碍性疾病的发生[7]。研究指出,STK25 可在自身免疫性疾病及神经系统炎症中发挥重要作用[8],但STK25在MS/ EAE 中的作用及其对活化星形胶质细胞的影响尚无文献报道。本研究通过构建特异性靶向星形胶质细胞的 STK25 敲减的重组慢病毒载体,探讨 STK25对于活化的星形胶质细胞炎性因子和趋化因子生成的影响及其在EAE中的作用。

  • 2 结果

  • 2.1 EAE小鼠脊髓STK25表达下降,促炎因子与趋化因子转录水平升高

  • 为了探究EAE小鼠体内STK25的表达变化,使用 MOG35-55免疫 C57BL/6 小鼠制备 EAE 模型后,取小鼠腰段脊髓提取总 RNA 与总蛋白。Real ⁃time PCR 与Western blot结果显示,与NC组相比,EAE组小鼠脊髓中 STK25 mRNA 转录水平显著降低, STK25蛋白表达明显下调(图1A、B)。此外,EAE组小鼠脊髓组织及血清中炎性因子肿瘤坏死因子⁃α (tumor necrosis factor⁃α,TNF⁃α)与趋化因子干扰素诱导蛋白⁃10(interferon⁃inducible protein⁃10,IP⁃10) 的转录与分泌水平明显升高(图1C~F),提示, STK25 可能参与 EAE 的病变并负向调控炎性因子的生成。

  • Figure1 The expression of STK25 as well as the production of inflammatory cytokine and chemokine in spinal cord and serum of EAE mice

  • 2.2 EAE 小鼠脊髓组织星形胶质细胞 STK25 表达降低

  • 为了进一步确定 STK25 在 EAE 小鼠的表达变化是否与星形胶质细胞的功能密切相关,检测了小鼠脊髓组织星形胶质细胞中 STK25 的表达情况。小鼠腰段脊髓组织免疫荧光染色的结果显示,与NC 组小鼠相比,EAE组小鼠脊髓星形胶质细胞STK25 表达水平明显降低(图2),提示在炎症状态下,星形胶质细胞STK25的表达减少与疾病进展密切相关。

  • 2.3 IFN⁃γ刺激星形胶质细胞活化后,STK25 的表达与炎性因子生成的变化

  • 为了研究在炎症病理环境下,星形胶质细胞STK25的表达与炎性因子及趋化因子生成的关系,取新生乳鼠体外分离培养原代星形胶质细胞,用 IFN⁃γ诱导其活化。Western blot与Real⁃time PCR结果显示,IFN⁃γ刺激6 h后,STK25蛋白表达水平显著降低,促炎因子TNF⁃α及趋化因子IP⁃10的mRNA水平明显升高(图3)。结果表明,病理条件下活化的星形胶质细胞炎性因子的生成增加,其可能与 STK25的表达降低有关。

  • 2.4 敲减 STK25 增加了星形胶质细胞炎性因子与趋化因子的生成

  • 为了进一步验证 STK25 对星形胶质细胞炎性因子生成的影响,首先构建特异性靶向星形胶质细胞的STK25敲减慢病毒载体,转染小鼠原代星形胶质细胞,验证STK25的表达,STK25⁃shRNA⁃3的敲减效率最高,选择它进行后续实验(图4A、B)。之后,包装慢病毒悬液,命名为LV⁃STK25⁃shRNA,对照组为LV⁃ctrl,分别感染小鼠原代星形胶质细胞72 h后,用IFN⁃γ诱导星形胶质细胞活化。Real⁃time PCR结果显示,敲减 STK25 后,活化的小鼠原代星形胶质细胞炎性因子与趋化因子的转录水平显著升高(图4C、D),表明敲减STK25上调了星形胶质细胞中炎性因子与趋化因子的生成。

  • 2.5 敲减STK25加速了EAE小鼠的疾病进程

  • 前期研究已经证实,重组慢病毒悬液经尾静脉注射后,可以透过血脑屏障到达小鼠的中枢神经系统[9]。为了证实质粒干扰的有效性,将小鼠分为LV⁃ STK25⁃shRNA 组和 LV⁃ctrl 组,分别经尾静脉注射 STK25 敲减与对照慢病毒悬液。Western blot 结果证实,LV⁃STK25⁃shRNA 组小鼠脊髓 STK25 的表达水平显著降低(图5A、B)。为了探究敲减STK25对 EAE小鼠疾病进程的影响,本研究将特异性敲减星形胶质细胞 STK25 与对照的慢病毒悬液经尾静脉注射入小鼠体内,7 d后用MOG35⁃55诱导小鼠EAE模型,采用双盲法每日评分并记录小鼠发病情况。与 LV⁃ctrl 组比较,LV⁃STK25⁃shRNA 组EAE 小鼠发病时间提前,临床神经功能评分加重(图5C)。Real⁃ time PCR结果显示,敲减STK25后,EAE小鼠脊髓组织中炎性因子TNF⁃α与趋化因子IP⁃10的转录水平显著升高(图5D、E)。HE 和 LFB 染色发现,LV ⁃ STK25⁃shRNA 组 EAE 小鼠脊髓组织炎症细胞浸润明显增多,髓鞘脱失更加严重(图5F),提示 STK25 参与并调控了EAE的病变进程。

  • 3 讨论

  • MS是以免疫细胞浸润引起炎症反应、白质脱髓鞘为主要特征的中枢神经系统的慢性进行性自身免疫性疾病[11]。作为影响青壮年残疾的主要非创伤性神经疾病,每年有数百万人受其影响,然而其致病机制尚不明确,治疗十分困难[12]。星形胶质细胞是中枢神经系统中数量最多的细胞群,在维持中枢神经系统内环境稳态、保持突触可塑性、保护神经细胞等方面具有重要生理功能[13-15]。已知,活化的星形胶质细胞在中枢神经系统的不同疾病模型中,发挥不同的生物学效应[16-18]。研究证实,星形胶质细胞活化与MS和EAE的病变密切相关[8],在脊髓损伤时,活化的星形胶质细胞可迅速迁移至损伤部位,释放大量的炎性因子加重脊髓损伤[19],但其在 MS和EAE中的具体作用机制尚不明确。

  • 图5 敲减STK25促进了EAE小鼠的病变进程

  • Figure5 STK25 knock⁃down exacerbates the process of EAE

  • STK25作为MST家族的一员,通过激活转录因子及协同刺激信号转导等方式,参与调节细胞的多种生理功能,包括增殖、凋亡、迁移和细胞骨架重排,在调控神经系统的正常生理功能中发挥重要作用[20]。研究表明,STK25与人类中枢神经系统的发育高度相关。敲除 STK25 会使胚胎神经元细胞中维持轴突生长的高尔基体定位错误,引起神经元异常树突形成[6];当 STK25 基因缺失时,会导致自闭症、多动症、癫痫等一系列神经功能障碍性疾病的发生[7]。然而,在阿兹海默症等神经退行性疾病中, STK25基因敲除可减少胚胎神经元中微管结合蛋白的过度磷酸化,从而缓解疾病进展[21]。但STK25在 MS及星形胶质细胞中的作用尚无文献报道。

  • 本研究首先证实了EAE小鼠STK25表达降低,炎性因子与趋化因子转录、分泌水平升高,同时 EAE 小鼠脊髓组织星形胶质细胞 STK25 表达下调。随后,在体外分离培养的原代星形胶质细胞中,用 IFN⁃γ诱导其活化后发现,活化的星形胶质细胞中STK25的表达降低与炎性因子生成增加有关。研究表明,星形胶质细胞活化后可分泌炎性因子与趋化因子,募集炎症细胞浸润到中枢神经系统,加剧脊髓的炎症损伤[22]。已证实在中枢神经系统中,STK25 在胚胎神经元表达并调控神经元发育[5-6]。为了进一步验证 STK25 对星形胶质细胞功能的调控及活化后炎性因子生成的影响,本研究使用STK25敲减的重组慢病毒载体并包装感染星形胶质细胞,经IFN⁃ γ诱导活化。结果显示,敲减 STK25 上调了星形胶质细胞炎性因子与趋化因子的生成;同时用慢病毒感染小鼠并诱导EAE,发现LV⁃STK25⁃shRNA+EAE 组小鼠脊髓组织中炎性因子和趋化因子的转录水平升高,炎症细胞浸润更加明显,髓鞘脱失更为严重,提示敲减STK25促进了EAE小鼠的病变进程。

  • 综上所述,STK25可能通过影响星形胶质细胞的活化,调节其炎性因子与趋化因子的产生,从而参与EAE小鼠的病变进程。
