Research on Runx2 gene induced differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells into ligament fibroblasts in vitro and promotion of tendon-bone healing in rabbits / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate whether the Runx2 gene can induce the differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) to ligament fibroblasts in vitro and promote the tendon-bone healing in rabbits.@*METHODS@#hAMSCs were isolated from the placentas voluntarily donated from healthy parturients and passaged, and then identified by flow cytometric identification. Adenoviral vectors carrying Runx2 gene (Ad-Runx2) and empty vector adenovirus (Ad-NC) were constructed and viral titer assay; then, the 3rd generation hAMSCs were transfected with Ad-Runx2 (Ad-Runx2 group) or Ad-NC (Ad-NC group). The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect Runx2 gene and protein expression to verify the effectiveness of Ad-Runx2 transfection of hAMSCs; and at 3 and 7 days after transfection, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was further used to detect the expressions of ligament fibroblast-related genes [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), collagen type Ⅰ, Fibronectin, and Tenascin-C]. The hAMSCs were used as a blank control group. The hAMSCs, hAMSCs transfected with Ad-NC, and hAMSCs were mixed with Matrigel according to the ratio of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 to construct the cell-scaffold compound. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay, and the corresponding cell-scaffold compound with better proliferation were taken for subsequent animal experiments. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups of sham operation group (Sham group), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction group (ACLR group), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction+hAMSCs transfected with Ad-NC-scaffold compound group (Ad-NC group), and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction+hAMSCs transfected with Ad-Runx2-scaffold compound group (Ad-Runx2 group), with 3 rabbits in each group. After preparing the ACL reconstruction model, the Ad-NC group and the Ad-Runx2 group injected the optimal hAMSCs-Matrigel compunds into the bone channel correspondingly. The samples were taken for gross, histological (HE staining and sirius red staining), and immunofluorescence staining observation at 1 month after operation to evaluate the inflammatory cell infiltration as well as collagen and Tenascin-C content in the ligament tissues.@*RESULTS@#Flow cytometric identification of the isolated cells conformed to the phenotypic characteristics of MSCs. The Runx2 gene was successfully transfected into hAMSCs. Compared with the Ad-NC group, the relative expressions of VEGF and collagen type Ⅰ genes in the Ad-Runx2 group significantly increased at 3 and 7 days after transfection ( P<0.05), Fibronectin significantly increased at 3 days ( P<0.05), and Tenascin-C significantly increased at 3 days and decreased at 7 days ( P<0.05). CCK-8 detection showed that there was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the cell proliferation between groups and between different time points after mixed culture of two ratios. So the cell-scaffold compound constructed in the ratio of 1∶1 was selected for subsequent experiments. Animal experiments showed that at 1 month after operation, the continuity of the grafted tendon was complete in all groups; HE staining showed that the tissue repair in the Ad-Runx2 group was better and there were fewer inflammatory cells when compared with the ACLR group and the Ad-NC group; sirius red staining and immunofluorescence staining showed that the Ad-Runx2 group had more collagen typeⅠ and Ⅲ fibers, tending to form a normal ACL structure. However, the fluorescence intensity of Tenascin-C protein was weakening when compared to the ACLR and Ad-NC groups.@*CONCLUSION@#Runx2 gene transfection of hAMSCs induces directed differentiation to ligament fibroblasts and promotes tendon-bone healing in reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament in rabbits.

BACKGROUND:Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint is mainly due to trauma caused by anterior labral capsular ligaments complex functional deficiency. At present, the main clinical use is conservative treatment, but the long-term effect is poor, and cannot achieve the desired results. OBJECTIVE:To study the biomechanical characteristics of dual fixed anchors and their effects in recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect. METHODS:According to the treatment, 88 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect were divided into conservative treatment group (n=44) and dual fixed anchor group (n=44). Japan AG-ISOKN material tensile tester was used to measure biomechanical properties of dual fixed anchors. Conservative treatment group received closed manipulative reduction. Dual fixed anchor group received dual fixed anchor fixation. The repair effects were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Biomechanical parameters:in dual fixed anchor bending test, limit strength was (3 534±321) N;limit displacement was (21.12±2.50) mm;the yield load was (2 342±154) N;yield shift was (13.10±53) mm. Maximum axial pul out force was (809±25.2) N. The maximum spin torque was (1.2±0.3) N?m. (2) Clinical test results:Total effective rate was 96%in the dual fixed anchor group and 86%in the conservative treatment group (P<0.05). Ranges of motion of anteflexion and lift and shoulder joint stability score were significantly higher in the dual fixed anchor group than in the conservative treatment group during final fol ow-up (P<0.05). Range of external rotation motion was significantly smal er in the dual fixed anchor group than in the conservative treatment group (P<0.05). The complication rate was lower in the dual fixed anchor group (11%) than in the conservative treatment group (25%) (P<0.05). (3) Results verified that dual fixed anchors have good biomechanical characteristics, may have ideal repair effect in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder with severe bone defect, and can improve functions and activities of the shoulder joint.

Alternation and rehabilitation of proprioceptive sense following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 中国组织工程研究

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has two important functional roles, including biomechanics and proprioceptive sense. A groat propr!oceptive sense is a basis to exactly obtain highly functional exercise. ACL injury may block perception and conduction information and seriously influence motion and daily activities. A complete rehabilitation of ACL function depends on rehabilitation of both mechanical structure and proprioceptive sense. Therefore, reconstruction of joint function following ACL injury is focus on reconstruction of both joint biomechanical stability and proprioceptive sense. This study was designed by distribution and function of proprioceptive sense to analyze the altemation of propdoceptive sense following ACE injury, and to investigate the related factors and ways for rehabilitation of propriocaptive sense following ACL reconstruction.
