Description

Establishment and application of therapeutic microglial cells
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of regenerative medicine, relates to biological products for treating spinal cord injury, and in particular relates to culture of primary microglia and preparation of miRNA modified M2 microglia by using the culture.
Background
Microglia can be broadly classified into resting M0 microglia, classical activated M1 microglia and alternatively activated M2 microglia. M1 microglial cells can be induced by LPS, IFN-gamma and the like, and can express marker molecules TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 beta, NOS2 and the like, and have cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory reaction effects; the M2 microglial cell can be induced by IL-4, and can express marker molecules Arg1, TGF-beta, IL-10, YM1, etc., and has neuroprotection, tissue repair promoting, and inflammatory reaction inhibiting effects. Under the action of the damaged microenvironment, microglial cells are mainly activated into M1 type and continuously exist in the damaged area of spinal cord, while M2 type microglial cells only occur briefly, which may be one of the causes of inflammatory progression and poor tissue repair in the damaged area.
Micrornas (mirnas) are non-coding RNAs of about 22 nucleotides in length that inhibit translation of a target gene protein by binding to the 3' -untranslated region (3 ' -untranslated region,3' -UTR) of the target gene mRNA, thereby regulating the biological function of the cell. MiRNA exists in various forms, the primary one is pri-miRNA, and the length is about 300-1000 bases; the pri-miRNA becomes a pre-miRNA, namely a microRNA precursor, after one-time processing, and the length is about 70-90 bases; the pre-miRNA is subjected to Dicer enzyme digestion to form mature miRNA with the length of 20-24 nt. MiRNA plays a great role in the processes of cell differentiation, biological development and disease occurrence and development, and is attracting more and more attention of researchers.
The use of cell transplantation to produce neuroprotection and regeneration is one of the most potential therapies for the treatment of spinal cord injury (spinal cord injury, SCI). Cells used for transplantation mainly include schwann cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, fibroblasts, neural stem cells, embryonic stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, and important roles of the cells at molecular and tissue levels include: replacement of lost neurons and glial cells, secretion of neurotrophic factors, stimulation of tissue retention and revascularization, reconstruction of neural pathways, restriction and filling of the post-injury capsule cavity, and promotion of axon regeneration and remyelination. Cells from each tissue source for transplantation are affected by the immune system in the spinal cord injury area, including affecting cell survival number and activity.
Microglial cells are important immune cells in the damaged area after spinal cord injury, and modulation of the activation state of microglial cells in the damaged area helps promote SCI repair, e.g., shuhei Kobashi et al transplanted M2 microglial cells into an animal spinal cord injury model, which was found to inhibit inflammatory responses, promote axonal regeneration and myelination. However, because of the damage microenvironment of the spinal cord injury region, the phenotype of the transplanted M2 microglial cells is weakened and the functions of the transplanted M2 microglial cells are lost, so that the search for a way capable of maintaining the M2 activation phenotype is particularly important for repairing spinal cord injury. It has been demonstrated that inhibition of M1 microglial activation and/or promotion of M2 microglial activation in the spinal cord injury zone by miRNA can reduce inflammatory response in the spinal cord injury zone, promote repair of spinal cord and recovery of hindlimb motor function in spinal cord injured animals (research on the action and mechanism of miR-145a-5p modified microglial cells in spinal cord injury treatment, DOI:10.26914/c.cnkihy.2021.070637; the fourteenth national academy of immunology, 2021-10-21), but its application in clinical treatment of spinal cord injury has yet to be studied further, and the problems that have not yet been solved include: after in situ transplantation in the spinal cord injury area, the phenotype of M2 microglial cells is not significant enough, the survival time is not long enough, and the recovery of the motor function in the later stage of spinal cord injury is affected (BMS score only reaches 4.5-5, and BMS subscore only reaches 4-4.5).

2. Method and results
2.1 culture of Primary microglial cells
2.1.1 soaking P1C 57BL/6J neonatal mice in pre-cooled (4deg.C) 75% (v/v) alcohol for sterilization for 5min, and taking materials after the mice lose consciousness; using an ophthalmic scissors to break the ends of the mice, and using forceps to strip the skin of the heads; peeling the skull from the back to the front along the herringbone in a precooled DMEM medium, and placing the brain in another prepared precooled DMEM medium;
2.1.2 stripping the pia with a fiber ophthalmic forceps, shearing the brain tissue of 5 exposed mice (only selecting two lateral hemispheres, discarding the callus of the middle joint two lateral hemispheres) into chylomorphic, adding 5mL of digestive juice (0.125% pancreatin+0.02% EDTA), placing in a 37 ℃ cell constant temperature incubator for digestion for 20min, and shaking every 5 min; the preparation method of the digestive juice comprises the following steps: weighing 0.125g of pancreatin powder and 0.02g of EDTA powder, adding into 100mL of sterile PBS (pH 7.0), and fully and uniformly mixing;
2.1.3 after digestion, the digestion was terminated by adding DMEM medium containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 1.5% (g/mL) glutamine, repeatedly blowing 100 times using a glass pipette, filtering the tissue fragments in the resulting cell suspension with a 300 mesh screen, and then placing in a centrifuge at 4℃and centrifuging at 350g for 4min;
2.1.4 after the supernatant liquid was removed, 10mL of a 10% (v/v) fetal bovine was addedSerum and 1% (g/mL) glutamine in DMEM medium, and the resulting cell suspension was transferred to 75cm after repeated 100-times pipetting using a glass pipette 2 In a flask, M-CSF was added at a final concentration of 25ng/mL, placed in a 37℃incubator and mixed glial cells (mixed gli cells) were cultured according to the following procedure (FIG. 5): the DMEM medium containing 10% fetal calf serum and 1% glutamine and 25ng/mL M-CSF was replaced every 3d and co-cultured for 2 weeks;
2.1.5 After 2 weeks the flask was fixed to a thermostatic shaker at 37℃with 200rpm shaking (mechanical rocking) for 4h (FIG. 5); transferring the culture supernatant into a centrifuge tube, placing the centrifuge tube into the centrifuge tube for re-centrifugation, discarding the supernatant, and obtaining the primary microglia (microglia) which is mature in culture at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and carrying out flow cell identification and counting. The results show that after the mixed glial cells are cultured for 2 weeks, the oscillated cells (microglial cells are dissociated and enter culture supernatant) are collected through centrifugation after shaking continuously by a shaking table, and 98% -99% of flow cell identification are M0 microglial cells, namely, the purity of primary microglial cells is 98% -99%.
The primary microglial cell culture method (before improvement for short) adopted in the early test ("effect and mechanism study of miR-145a-5p modified microglial cells in spinal cord injury treatment") is different from the culture method of primary microglial cells (after improvement for short) in the above 2.1, and mainly comprises the following steps: in the early test, the pia mater and the callus are not removed in the primary microglial cell culture operation (the callus is a fiber bundle connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and the pia mater contains thicker pia mater, and blood vessels in the pia mater are rich, so that the pia mater is not thoroughly stripped, which easily causes vascular endothelial cells to be mixed in single cell suspension), and pancreatin (for example, 0.25 percent pancreatin) with higher concentration is used, but the purity of the primary microglial cells obtained after culture only reaches 90 percent.
Taking a 12-well plate as an example for cell counting, when the cell inoculation density in a cell culture plate is 70% -80%, the primary microglial obtained after improvement is less prone to aging than the primary microglial obtained before improvement, and is more transparent and more obvious in axon stretching (figure 9), the activity and the morphology of the primary microglial obtained after improvement are better, the primary microglial is beneficial to obtaining higher transfection efficiency at a later stage and survival for a longer time in a transplanted damaged spinal cord region, and thus the functions of the cells can be better exerted.
2.2 transfection and activation Induction of miR-145a-5p in microglia
Experiment one
Mature microglial cells (primary microglial cells obtained in step 2.1.5) cultured for 14 days were cultured at a ratio of 1.5X10 6 The wells were plated in 12-well plates uniformly so that the cell density was controlled at 70% -80% (mature primary microglia were not proliferated in general, so cells were seeded at 70% -80% cell density per well), three groups were set, each group was respectively cultured in 1mL DMEM medium supplemented with 25ng/mL M-CSF and containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a final concentration in a 37 ℃ incubator for 8 hours, and then M0 (PBS, ph 7.0), M1 polarization treatment, or M2 polarization treatment was performed, wherein M1 polarization treatment was performed with the addition of 100ng/mL Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 20ng/mL interferon- γ (IFN- γ), and M2 polarization treatment was performed with the addition of 20ng/mL interleukin-4 (IL-4). Polarization treatment was completed after further culturing for 24 hours, and the miR-145a-5p expression level of each group of microglial cells was detected, and the results are shown in FIG. 1. The results show that the actual expression conditions of miR-145a-5p in the microglia cells with different polarization types of M0, M1 and M2 are obviously different, and miR-145a-5p is low-expressed in the microglia cells with the M1 type and high-expressed in the microglia cells with the M2 type.

The T2 thoracic spinous process of the mouse is more prominent and can be reached by hands, and an incision with the length of about 1 cm to 1.5cm is made along the spinal spinous process line at the position of 0.5cm below the T2 thoracic vertebra. Care was taken to blunt isolate the subcutaneous fat after hemostasis, taking care not to damage the venous sinus of the neck. The muscle layers at two sides are cut along the spinous process until reaching the vertebral lamina of the vertebral body of the spine, the suture thread is used for penetrating the muscle, and the cut muscle is pulled towards two sides to expose the vertebral body.
When observed under a body microscope (operating microscope, OLYMPUS, TOKYO, JAPAN), veins exist above T6, the spinous processes of T7, T8 and T9 are sharp, the vertebral lamina is smooth, the spinous process gap between T9 and T10 is narrow, and the spinous process mutation is flat after T11, so that the thoracic vertebra of T8 is positioned.

2.6 repair experiments for in situ transplantation of miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglial cells at spinal cord injury
2.6.1 preparation of preparation containing miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglial cells

(3) Adding 1 XPBS, shaking, mixing, centrifuging at 4deg.C for 4min, and discarding supernatant;
(4) Repeating the step 3 for three times, and then performing cell counting;
(5) Adding matrigel to make every 3 μl matrigel contain 2.5X10 5 Individual cells.

2.7 MiR-145a-5p modified M2 microglial cells after transplantation promote recovery of hindlimb motor function of spinal cord injured mice
As shown in FIG. 6, the transplanted miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglial cell group (SCI+M2+miR-145 a-5 p) significantly promoted recovery of motor function in later stages in spinal cord injured mice (BMS score of 5.5-6, BMS subscore of 5-5.5) compared to sham, spinal cord injury alone (SCI) and transplanted M2 microglial cell group (SCI+M2).
2.8 enhancement of expression of M2-type marker molecule Arg1 in spinal cord injury region after transplanting miR-145a-5p modified M2-type microglial cells, reduction of GFAP-marked gliosis and reduction of CS 56-marked inhibitory matrix deposition
First, glial scar is an important obstacle affecting nerve fiber regeneration. Whereas CS 56-labeled CSPGs are an important component in gliosis. It has been found that during nerve injury, a large amount of CSPGs proteins accumulate at the injured site, limiting the occurrence and elongation of nerve synapses on the one hand, and recruiting other proteins and factors to prevent nerve regeneration after injury on the other hand. By carrying out pretreatment of transplanted cells on primary microglia obtained before and after the improvement, respectively transplanting the treated miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglia into a spinal cord injury area in an injection mode, and as shown in a result, compared with the miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglia obtained after the improvement pretreatment, the miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglia obtained after the improvement can reduce the nerve scar hyperplasia marked by GFAP (namely, the colloid scar hyperplasia marked by GFAP in the spinal cord injury area is obviously inhibited), and the deposition of an inhibitory matrix CSPGs is obviously reduced, so that the connection of nerve fibers and the restoration of nerve functions are facilitated.
Secondly, as shown in fig. 7 (CX 3CR 1-labeled microglial cells after 7 days of transplantation), compared with miR-145a-5 p-modified M2 microglial cells obtained by the modified pretreatment, miR-145a-5 p-modified M2 microglial cells obtained by the modified pretreatment can significantly enhance the expression of M2-labeled molecule Arg1 in the damaged spinal cord region, thereby promoting the repair of damaged spinal cord and the restoration of motor function by expressing stronger repair-promoting M2-labeled Arg 1.
Finally, FIG. 12 (CX 3CR 1-labeled microglial cells 28 days after transplantation) also objectively shows that the survival number of M2 microglial cells in the damaged spinal cord area after transplantation can be increased and the survival time can be prolonged by improving experimental operation.
3. Application exploration
According to the invention, based on the influence of miR-145a-5p on activation of microglia, namely, in-vitro experiments show that miR-145a-5p can promote activation of microglia to M2 type and inhibit activation of microglia to M1 type, the efficiency of transfection of miR-145a-5p into M2 type microglia is improved by optimizing culture of primary microglia, and treatment experiments are carried out on spinal cord injury of mice by transferring miR-145a-5p modified M2 type microglia through matrigel, so that the effects of remarkably inhibiting inflammatory reaction in an injured area, reducing apoptosis of neurons, reducing inhibitory matrix deposition, reducing fibrous scar hyperplasia in situ of the injured spinal cord are obtained, and the recovery of limb movement function is remarkably improved (higher BMS score is obtained). Thus, the invention provides an important reference for the induction of microglial cells for in situ repair of spinal cord injury by human autologous stem cells.
In a word, the invention uses the established standardized mouse clamp spinal cord injury model to transfer miR-145a-5p modified M2 microglial cells for in-situ transplantation of a spinal cord injury region, so that the activation proportion and number of the M2 microglial cells in the spinal cord injury region are maintained at a higher level, the activation proportion and number of the M1 microglial cells are relatively smaller, the inflammatory reaction of the spinal cord injury region is reduced, and the number of surviving neurons is increased, thereby effectively promoting the recovery of limb movement function after spinal cord injury.
