Tissue fibrosis can lead to organ dysfunction, patient morbidity, and mortality. Adipose-derived Stromal/stem Cells (ASCs) represent a potential therapeutic. Immediately following grafting, ASCs would reside in a lower O2 environment. ASC secretome was examined under 5% O2 ("low O2") and 21% O2 ("ambient O2") culture conditions. ASCs from five female donors were cultured in low or ambient O2 conditions for 3 days and pooled conditioned medium was compared by two-dimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS). Of 71 proteins identified, five proteins involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling exhibited ≥2-fold decrease under low O2 culture and were confirmed by Western immunoblot and qRT-PCR: fibronectin 1, TGF-β1-induced protein (βig-h3), osteonectin, and collagens type 1α1 and α2. ELISAs performed using 10 donors also confirmed significant decreases during low O2 culture in 4-6 ASC donors. For low abundant proteins, a 36 cytokine/chemokine array was performed. Fifteen cytokines/chemokines including Type 2 cytokines IL-13, MCP-1, and CD40 ligand were detected in ambient O2 ASC medium. IL-6 was detected in low O2 but not ambient O2 ASC medium. These findings demonstrate that low O2 ASC exposure resulted in reduced ECM protein and Type 2 cytokine secretions that are significant with regard to inflammation in fibrosis.
组织纤维化可导致器官功能障碍、患者发病率和死亡率。脂肪来源的基质/干细胞(ASCs)代表了一种潜在的治疗方法。移植后,ASCs 将处于较低的 O2 环境中。在 5%O2(“低 O2”)和 21%O2(“环境 O2”)培养条件下检查 ASC 分泌组。从五名女性供体中分离出的 ASC 在低氧或环境氧条件下培养 3 天,并通过二维液相色谱和串联质谱(2D-LC-MS/MS)比较其条件培养基。在鉴定的 71 种蛋白质中,有 5 种参与细胞外基质(ECM)重塑的蛋白质在低氧培养下表达下降了 2 倍以上,并通过 Western 免疫印迹和 qRT-PCR 得到证实:纤连蛋白 1、TGF-β1 诱导蛋白(βig-h3)、骨粘连蛋白和胶原蛋白 1α1 和 1α2。使用 10 个供体进行的 ELISA 也证实了在低氧培养中,4-6 个 ASC 供体中有 4-6 个供体的蛋白表达显著下降。对于低丰度蛋白,进行了 36 种细胞因子/趋化因子阵列分析。在环境氧 ASC 培养基中检测到 15 种细胞因子/趋化因子,包括 2 型细胞因子 IL-13、MCP-1 和 CD40 配体。IL-6 在低氧但不在环境氧 ASC 培养基中检测到。这些发现表明,低氧暴露的 ASC 导致 ECM 蛋白和 2 型细胞因子分泌减少,这与纤维化中的炎症有关。
