Effect of Jisuikang-containing Serum Combined with SOX-2 on Astrocyte Being Reprogrammed and Induced into Neurons
(脊髓康) combined with SRY transcription box factor 2 (SOX-2) on spinal cordinjury (SCI).
Methods
2
Adult SD rats were randomly divided into blank group and medication group with five rats in each. Rats in the medication group were given 20 g/(kg·d) of
Jisuikang
by gavage, while those in the control group received 18 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline by gavage, both for three days. After that, blood was collected from the abdominal aorta to prepare
Jisuikang
-containing serum and blank serum. Three generations of astrocytes were cultured in vitro in the cerebral cortex of 1~4 day newborn rats, and were divided into three groups including blank serum group, SOX-2 group, and combination of
Jisuikang
-containing serum plus SOX-2 group (SOX-2+JSK group). Add 10 mmol/L of SOX-2 to the SOX-2 group, and 2.5%
Jisuikang
-containing serum plus 10 mmol/L of SOX-2 to the SOX-2 + JSK group, making the final serum concentration in the medium to 10%; blank serum group was added with 10% of blank serum. After 21 days of induction and culture, the morphology of neuron-like cells in the three groups were observed under light microscope. The expression of neuronal axon marker microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) was detected by cellular immunofluorescence, and the expression of downstream metabolites S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and acetyl-CoA (acetyl-CoA) were detected by Western Blot. Quantitative PCR analysis was performed for the glycolysis-related genes expression including hexokinase 1 (HK1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK2), and M2-type pyruvate kinase isozyme (PKM2). The cell energy metabolism analyzer was used to compare the extracellular acidification rate (EACR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of the SOX-2 group and the SOX-2+JSK serum group.
Results
2
Under the light microscope, a large number of neuron-like cells with bipolar and long axons were found in the SOX-2+JSK group, which was significantly more than that in the SOX-2 group; in the blank serum group, astrocytes were found, but with no neuron-like cells. The expression of MAP2, SAM and acetyl-CoA significantly increased in the SOX-2+JSK group compared to those in the blank serum group and the SOX-2 group, while the gene expressions of HK1, HK2, PFK1, PFK2, and PKM2 significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Higher ECAR and OCR were found in the SOX-2+JSK group than the SOX-2 group. There was no significant difference in the expressions of MAP2, SAM, and acetyl-CoA between the blank serum group and the SOX-2 group (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
Iisuikang
-containing serum combined with SOX-2 can induce astrocyte reprogramming into neurons, and the machnism of astrocyte reprogramming may be improved through glycolysis.
