BACKGROUND: Enhanced angiogenesis can promote diabetic wound healing. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes, which are cell-free therapeutics, are promising candidates for the treatment of diabetic wound healing. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of exosomes derived from MSCs pretreated with pioglitazone (PGZ-Exos) on diabetic wound healing. RESULTS: We isolated PGZ-Exos from the supernatants of pioglitazone-treated BMSCs and found that PGZ-Exos significantly promote the cell viability and proliferation of Human Umbilical Vein Vascular Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) injured by high glucose (HG). PGZ-Exos enhanced the biological functions of HUVECs, including migration, tube formation, wound repair and VEGF expression in vitro. In addition, PGZ-Exos promoted the protein expression of p-AKT, p-PI3K and p-eNOS and suppressed that of PTEN. LY294002 inhibited the biological function of HUVECs through inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway. In vivo modeling in diabetic rat wounds showed that pioglitazone pretreatment enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs-derived exosomes and accelerated diabetic wound healing via enhanced angiogenesis. In addition, PGZ-Exos promoted collagen deposition, ECM remodeling and VEGF and CD31 expression, indicating adequate angiogenesis in diabetic wound healing. CONCLUSIONS: PGZ-Exos accelerated diabetic wound healing by promoting the angiogenic function of HUVECs through activation of the PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway. This offers a promising novel cell-free therapy for treating diabetic wound healing.
背景:增强血管生成可以促进糖尿病伤口愈合。间充质干细胞(MSC)衍生的外泌体是无细胞治疗方法,是治疗糖尿病伤口愈合的有前途的候选物。本研究旨在探讨经吡格列酮预处理的 MSC 衍生的外泌体(PGZ-Exos)对糖尿病伤口愈合的影响。
结果:我们从吡格列酮处理的 BMSC 上清液中分离出 PGZ-Exos,发现 PGZ-Exos 可显著促进高糖(HG)损伤的人脐静脉血管内皮细胞(HUVEC)的细胞活力和增殖。PGZ-Exos 增强了 HUVEC 的生物学功能,包括迁移、管形成、伤口修复和 VEGF 表达体外。此外,PGZ-Exos 促进了 p-AKT、p-PI3K 和 p-eNOS 的蛋白表达,并抑制了 PTEN 的表达。LY294002 通过抑制 PI3K/AKT/eNOS 通路抑制了 HUVEC 的生物学功能。在糖尿病大鼠伤口的体内模型中,吡格列酮预处理增强了 MSC 衍生的外泌体的治疗效果,并通过增强血管生成加速了糖尿病伤口愈合。此外,PGZ-Exos 促进了胶原沉积、ECM 重塑以及 VEGF 和 CD31 的表达,表明糖尿病伤口愈合中有足够的血管生成。
结论:PGZ-Exos 通过激活 PI3K/AKT/eNOS 通路促进 HUVEC 的血管生成功能,加速糖尿病伤口愈合。这为治疗糖尿病伤口愈合提供了一种有前途的新型无细胞治疗方法。
