Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes were considered a novel therapeutic approach in many aging-related diseases. This study aimed to clarify the protective effects of human placenta MSCs-derived exosomes (hPMSC-Exo) in aging-related CD4 T cell senescence and identified the underlying mechanisms using a D-gal induced mouse aging model. Senescent T cells were detected SA-β-gal stain. The degree of DNA damage was evaluated by detecting the level of 8-OH-dG. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activities were measured. The expression of aging-related proteins and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. We found that hPMSC-Exo treatment markedly decreased oxidative stress damage (ROS and 8-OH-dG), SA-β-gal positive cell number, aging-related protein expression (p53 and γ-H2AX), and SASP expression (IL-6 and OPN) in senescent CD4 T cells. Additionally, hPMSC-Exo containing miR-21 effectively downregulated the expression of PTEN, increased p-PI3K and p-AKT expression, and Nrf2 nuclear translocation and the expression of downstream target genes (NQO1 and HO-1) in senescent CD4 T cells. Furthermore, studies uncovered that hPMSC-Exo attenuated CD4 T cell senescence by improving the PTEN/PI3K-Nrf2 axis by using the PTEN inhibitor bpV (HOpic). We also validated that PTEN was a target of miR-21 by using a luciferase reporter assay.Collectively, the obtained results suggested that hPMSC-Exo attenuates CD4 T cells senescence carrying miRNA-21 and activating PTEN/PI3K-Nrf2 axis mediated exogenous antioxidant defenses.
间充质干细胞(MSCs)衍生的外泌体被认为是许多与衰老相关疾病的新的治疗方法。本研究旨在使用 D-半乳糖诱导的小鼠衰老模型阐明人胎盘间充质干细胞衍生的外泌体(hPMSC-Exo)在与衰老相关的 CD4 T 细胞衰老中的保护作用,并确定其潜在机制。通过 SA-β-半乳糖染色检测衰老 T 细胞。通过检测 8-OH-dG 水平来评估 DNA 损伤程度。测量超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)的活性。通过 Western blot 和 RT-PCR 检测衰老相关蛋白和衰老相关分泌表型(SASP)的表达。我们发现,hPMSC-Exo 处理可显著降低衰老 CD4 T 细胞中的氧化应激损伤(ROS 和 8-OH-dG)、SA-β-半乳糖阳性细胞数、衰老相关蛋白表达(p53 和 γ-H2AX)和 SASP 表达(IL-6 和 OPN)。此外,hPMSC-Exo 含有 miR-21,可有效下调 PTEN 的表达,增加 p-PI3K 和 p-AKT 的表达,并使 Nrf2 核易位及其下游靶基因(NQO1 和 HO-1)的表达。此外,通过使用 PTEN 抑制剂 bpV(HOpic),研究表明 hPMSC-Exo 通过改善 PTEN/PI3K-Nrf2 轴来减轻 CD4 T 细胞衰老。我们还通过荧光素酶报告基因检测验证了 PTEN 是 miR-21 的靶基因。总之,研究结果表明,hPMSC-Exo 通过携带 miR-21 并激活 PTEN/PI3K-Nrf2 轴介导外源性抗氧化防御来减轻 CD4 T 细胞衰老。
