Lagerholm, Sara January 2019 (has links)
ABSTRAKT:Isolering och karaktärisering av mesenkymala stamceller från periodontalligamentet hos friskatänderSYFTE: Att isolera och odla celler från periodontalligamentet samt karaktärisera dem sommesenkymala stamceller.MATERIAL OCH METOD: Friska premolarer gjordes tillgängliga vid ortodontiskaextraktioner. Den mellersta 1/3 av periodontalligamentet skrapades varpå en enzymatiskmetod användes för isolering av individuella celler. Resulterande celler odlades understandardiserade metoder. Karaktärisering av celler skedde genom flödescymetri med 2 olikapaneler av cellyta markörer; en för etablerat positiva uttryck och en för kända negativauttryck hos mesenkymala stamceller. Möjlighet av celler att differentieras in vitro tilladipocyter och osteocyter testades genom tillförsel av specifika substanser till odlingsmediet.RESULTAT: Celler från 11 av 13 tänder isolerades och odlades framgångsrikt adherenta tillodlingsytan i upp till 8 generationer. Celluttryck av de positiva markörerna CD73, CD90 samtCD44 bekräftades genom flödescymetri. Inget uttryck observerades för den negativa panelenCD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19 eller HLA class II. Uttrycket av CD105 kunde inte fastställas pgaofullständigt data. Försök till differentiering av celler till adipocyter och osteocyter visade påfenotypiska förändringar efter 21 dagar.SLUTSATS: Den här studien har bidragit till framgångsrik isolering och delvis karaktäriseringav mesenkymala stamceller från periodontalligamentet hos friska tänder. En icke-invasivmetod av detta slag, resulterande i tillgång till denna cellpopulation utgör ett lovande verktygför framtida studier med goda möjligheter till ytterligare kunskap applicerbart till kliniskasituationer inom tandvården. / ABSTRACT:Isolation and Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from the Periodontal Ligament ofHealthy TeethAIM: To isolate and culture viable cells from the periodontal ligament and confirming theiridentity as mesenchymal stem cells.METHODS AND MATERIALS: Healthy premolars were collected at the time oforthodontic extractions. The middle 1/3 of the periodontal ligament was scraped andsubsequent cell isolation was performed using an enzymatic method; yielding single cellisolates. Cells were cultured and maintained under standard culture conditions. Cellcharacterization was performed by flow cytometry using two sets of cell surface markers; oneknown to be present and one known to be absent in mesenchymal stem cells. Ability of thecells for in vitro differentiation into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages was tested usingspecifically formulated media supplements.RESULTS: Cells were successfully isolated from 11 of 13 teeth and were maintained asadherent cultures for up to 8 generations. Cellular expression of positive markers; CD73, CD90and CD44 were confirmed by flow cytometry. For the negative marker panel, expression ofCD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19 and HLA class II were not detectable. The expression of CD105was inconclusive. As determined by phenotypic changes, cells appeared to have undergoneadipogenic and osteocytic differentiation at 21 days.CONCLUSION: This study has resulted in successful isolation and partial characterization ofmesenchymal stem cells from the periodontal ligament of healthy teeth. Non-invasive accessto these cells, provides an excellent tool for future studies, potentially leading to beneficialknowledge transferable to the dental clinical situation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertação Ana Carolina Origa Alves - 02.pdf: 2465539 bytes, checksum: 9ad1e3c8193f72874f714fe1c073b599 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Carlos Chagas. Curitiba, PR, Brasil / Células-tronco (CT) são células autorrenováveis e não especializadas, com o potencial de diferenciação multidirecional. Células-tronco de tecido adiposo (CT-TA) são um tipo de células-tronco adultas multipotentes, de fácil isolamento e cultura. Nos últimos anos, CT-TA têm mostrado grande potencial para engenharia de tecidos e terapias baseadas em células. Apesar do interesse em aplicações clínicas deste tipo de célula, os mecanismos moleculares fundamentais a sua autorrenovação e diferenciação ainda não foram completamente elucidados. miRNAs são pequenos RNAs não-codificadores, com 21-25 nucleotídeos de comprimento, que tem se mostrado como importantes reguladores da expressão gênica em nível póstranscricional. miRNAs podem atuar por meio de clivagem direta de mRNAs alvo ou através da repressão da tradução, dependendo da complementaridade entre o mRNA e a sequência do miRNA. Perfis de miRNAs de CT adultas sugerem que estes pequenos reguladores podem contribuir para as propriedades intrínsecas das CT. Para entender melhor os mecanismos de ação dos miRNAs em CT-TA, miRNAs associados ao polissomos de CT-TA foram isolados durante a diferenciação celular. Procurando miRNAs reguladores das etapas iniciais de diferenciação ou envolvidos na autorrenovação de CT, as culturas de células foram induzidas a diferenciação adipogênica durante 72 h. O lisado celular foi submetido à ultracentrifugação em gradiente de sacarose para separar monosomos, polissomos e fração livre de ribossomos. O RNA total associado aos ribossomos foi extraído, os fragmentos de RNA (<200 nt) foram enriquecidos e a seleção de tamanho de fragmentos de RNA apropriados ocorreu durante a preparação das amostras para o sequenciamento em larga escala. As amostras foram sequenciadas utilizando a plataforma SOLiD ™, e as frações polissomais de culturas Não Induzida e 72h de indução foram comparadas e dezesseis miRNAs foram identificados. miRNAs encontrados em um trabalho prévio do grupo foram adicionados a esses dados, e sete miRNAs (hsamiR-29b-1-5p, hsa- miR-29c-5, hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR-143-5p, hsa-miR-210-3p, hsa-miR-210- 5p e hsa-miR-6775- 5p) foram testados por RT-qPCR para confirmar a expressão diferencial, sendo que um deles (hsa-miR-210-5p) mostrou diferença estatisticamente significativa. / Stem cells (SC) are self-renewing and non-specialized cells with the potential of multi-directional differentiation. Adipose Stem Cell (ADSC) is a type of multipotent adult stem cell, easy to isolate and culture. In the past few years, hADSCs have shown great potential for tissue engineering and cell-based therapies. Despite the interest in clinical applications of this kind of cell, the molecular mechanisms underlying their self-renewal and differentiation have yet to be fully elucidated. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs, 21-25 nucleotides in length, that have been shown to be important regulators of posttranscriptional gene expression. miRNAs can act through direct cleavage of target mRNAs or through translational repression, depending of complementary pairing between the mRNA and miRNA sequence.miRNA profile of adult SCs suggests that these small regulators can contribute to the intrinsic properties of SCs. To better understand the mechanisms of action of miRNAs in hADSCs, we isolate miRNAs associated to polysomes of hADSC during cellular differentiation. Looking for miRNAs regulators of early steps of differentiation or involved in ADSC self-renewing, cell cultures were induced to adipogenic differentiation for 72 h. The cell lysate was submitted to ultracentrifugation on a sucrose gradient to separate monosomes, polysomes and the fraction free of ribosomes. The total RNA associated to ribosomes was extracted and the RNA fragments (<200 nt) were enriched and the size selection of appropriate RNA fragments occurred during the preparation of samples for deep sequencing. The samples were sequenced using SOLiD™ platform, and polysomal fraction of cell cultures non induced and 72h of induction were compared and sixteen miRNAs were identified. miRNAs found in a previous work of our group were added to these data and seven miRNAs (hsa-miR-29b-1-5p, hsa-miR-29c-5, hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR- 143-5p, hsa-miR-210-3p, hsa-miR-210-5p e hsa-miR-6775-5p) were tested by RTqPCR to confirm differential expression, and one of them (hsa-miR-210-5p) showed statistical significant difference.
