In Vivo Tracking of Stem Cells With Nuclear Medicine Imaging

摘要: 干细胞移植后,活体追踪干细胞对实验研究和指导临床应用都有重要意义。将细胞内多种内源性分子作为靶,利用放射性核素标记相应的配基进行显像的核医学显像技术具有特异性强、灵敏度高等特点,成为移植后在体追踪干细胞最具潜力的手段。分析各种核医学显像近年来的发展和部分干细胞研究结果,发现在各种核医学显像方法中,受体显像方法简便,最有可能首先进入干细胞示踪领域,但其稳定性和通用性较低;而利用寡聚核苷酸为探针的反义显像特异性高、通用性好,将成为干细胞活体示踪的有效途径。Abstract: A non-invasive method to track stem cells implanted is very important for stem cell transplantation in both animal experiments and clinical applications. With high sensitivity and specificity of imaging to many kinds of molecular of cells, nuclear medicine imaging technique should be able to monitor stem cells transplanted in vivo. Basing on presentation of recent developments of radionu-clide imaging and stem cells investigations, possibilities of in vivo tracking of stem cells with various methods are discussed respectively. Receptor imaging may be firstly utilized to solve the problem for its simplicity but with low stability and universality. Screening with SELEX techniques, ap-tamer oligonucleotides specifically targeted to stem cells will be found. Combining antisense imaging with SELEX technique * the problem of tracking stem cells in vivo would be eventually and thoroughly solved.
