摘　　要：目的:探讨沉默及过表达Nemo样激酶(Nemo-like kinase,NLK)基因对人骨髓间充质干细胞(human mesenchymal stem cells,hBMSCs)神经向分化的作用,并探究小干扰RNA(small interfering RNA,siRNA)沉默NLK基因表达对促进神经化组织工程骨再生的影响。方法:在hBMSCs中分别转染siRNA沉默NLK基因(实验组转染沉默NLK基因的siRNA,对照组转染对照siRNA并记为阴性对照组)或慢病毒过表达NLK基因(实验组感染过表达NLK基因的慢病毒,对照组感染空载体慢病毒并记为空载体组),之后通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,qPCR)、蛋白质印迹实验(Western blot)、免疫荧光实验检测敲低、过表达NLK基因对hBMSCs神经向分化的影响。采用6周龄雄性BALB/C nu/nu裸鼠构建皮下异位成骨模型,分为以下4组:①β-磷酸三钙(β-tricalcium phosphate,β-TCP)组,②β-TCP+hBMSCs成骨诱导组,③β-TCP+siRNA-阴性对照(negative control,NC)转染的hBMSCs成骨诱导组,④β-TCP+siRNA-NLK转染的hBMSCs成骨诱导组。术后4周获取标本,通过组织形态学染色检测裸鼠体内成骨成神经情况,使用独立样本t检验进行统计学分析。结果:siRNA沉默hBMSCs的NLK基因后,神经相关基因βⅢ微管蛋白(classⅢβ-tubulin,TUBB3)、微管相关蛋白2(microtubule association protein-2,MAP2)、可溶性蛋白-100(soluble protein-100,S100)、巢蛋白(nestin,NES)、NG2蛋白聚糖(NG2 proteoglycan,NG2)及降钙素基因相关肽(calcitonin gene-related peptide,CGRP)表达较阴性对照组显著升高(P<0.05),TUBB3、MAP2等蛋白表达也升高。慢病毒过表达NLK基因后,与空载体组相比,神经相关基因TUBB3、MAP2、S100及NG2表达水平均显著下降(P<0.05),TUBB3蛋白表达降低。构建裸鼠皮下异位成骨模型术后4周发现β-TCP+siRNA-NLK转染的hBMSCs成骨诱导组较其他3组形成更多矿化组织,并且成骨相关标记物BMP2及成神经相关标记物S100显著高表达。结论:siRNA�Objective:To identify the role of gene silencing or overexpression of Nemo-like kinase(NLK)during the process of neural differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs),and to explore the effect of NLK downregulation by transfection of small interfering RNA(siRNA)on promoting neuralized tissue engineered bone regeneration.Methods:NLK-knockdown hBMSCs were established by transfection of siRNA(the experimental group was transfected with siRNA silencing the NLK gene,the control group was transfected with control siRNA and labeled as negative control group),and NLK-overexpression hBMSCs were established using lentivirus vector transfection technique(the experimental group was infected with lentivirus overexpressing the NLK gene,the control group was infected with an empty vector lentivirus and labeled as the empty vector group).After neurogenic induction,quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)was used to detect the expression of neural-related gene,and Western blot as well as immunofluorescence staining about several specific neural markers were used to evaluate the neural differentiation ability of hBMSCs.6-week-old male nude mice were divided into 4 groups:①β-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP)group,②β-TCP+osteogenic induced hBMSCs group,③β-TCP+siRNA-negative control(siRNA-NC)transfection hBMSCs group,④β-TCP+siRNA-NLK transfection hBMSCs group.Four weeks after the subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis models were established,the osteogenesis and neurogenesis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,Masson staining and tissue immunofluorescence assay.Statistical analysis was conducted by independent sample t test.Results:After gene silencing of NLK by siRNA in hBMSCs,neural-related genes,including the classⅢβ-tubulin(TUBB3),microtubule association protein-2(MAP2),soluble protein-100(S100),nestin(NES),NG2 proteoglycan(NG2)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),were increased significantly in NLK-knockdown hBMSCs compared with the negative control group(P<0.05),and the expression lev
