Wnt7a gene stimulates mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation into neuron-like cells
Objective To explore the effect of up-regulation of Wnt7a on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation and differentiation into neuron-like cells. Methods An adenovirus vector expressing Wnt7a protein was constructed
and then MSCs were transfected with the recombinant vector. MSCs proliferation was detected by MTT assay
and the protein expression of cytoplasmic β-catenin
nuclear β-catenin and CyclinD1 was detected by Western blotting. The rates of MSCs differentiating into neuron-like cells were compared after transfection. Results Compared with the control MSCs
the MSCs transfected with Wnt7a recombinant adenovirus vector exhibited an increase in cell proliferation
and the protein expression of cytoplasmic β-catenin
nuclear β-catenin and CyclinD1 significantly increased (P0.05). The rate of neuron-like cells in the MSCs transfected with Wnt7a recombinant adenovirus vectors was significantly higher than that in the control group and the non-transfection group (P0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of Wnt7a protein promotes MSCs proliferation through up-regulating β-catenin and CyclinD1 expression
and stimulates MSCs differentiation into neuron-like cells
which provides further foundation for the therapy for spine cord injury.
