This study is designed to compare the menstrual blood stem cells (MenSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs)-secreted factors with or without pre-treatment regimen using basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza) and also regenerative capacity of pre-treated MenSCs and/or BMSCs in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI).
BMSCs and MenSCs were pre-treated with bFGF and 5-aza for 48 h and we compared the paracrine activity by western blotting. Furthermore, MI model was created and the animals were divided into sham, MI, pre-treated BMSCs, and pre-treated MenSCs groups. The stem cells were administrated via tail vain. 35 days post-MI, serum and tissue were harvested for further investigations.
Following pre-treatment, vascular endothelium growth factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1, stromal cell-derived factor-1, and hepatocyte growth factor were significantly increased in secretome of MenSCs in compared to BMSCs. Moreover, systemic administration of pre-treated MenSCs, leaded to improvement of cardiac function, preservation of myocardium from further subsequent injuries, promotion the angiogenesis, and reduction the level of NF-κB expression in compared to the pre-treated BMSCs. Also, pre-treated MenSCs administration significantly decreased the serum level of Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) in compared to the pre-treated BMSCs and MI groups.
bFGF and 5-aza pre-treated MenSCs offer superior cardioprotection compare to bFGF and 5-aza pre-treated BMSCs following MI.
本研究旨在比较月经血干细胞(MenSCs)和骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSCs)分泌因子,以及使用碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(bFGF)和 5-氮杂-2'-脱氧胞苷(5-aza)预处理前后的差异,并观察预处理后的 MenSCs 和/或 BMSCs 在大鼠心肌梗死(MI)模型中的再生能力。
用 bFGF 和 5-aza 预处理 BMSCs 和 MenSCs 48 小时,通过 Western blot 比较旁分泌活性。此外,建立 MI 模型,将动物分为假手术组、MI 组、预处理 BMSCs 组和预处理 MenSCs 组。通过尾静脉给予干细胞。MI 后 35 天,采集血清和组织进行进一步研究。
预处理后,MenSCs 分泌的血管内皮生长因子、缺氧诱导因子 1、基质细胞衍生因子 1 和肝细胞生长因子明显高于 BMSCs。此外,与预处理的 BMSCs 相比,系统给予预处理的 MenSCs 可改善心功能,防止心肌进一步损伤,促进血管生成,并降低核因子-κB 表达水平。此外,与预处理的 BMSCs 和 MI 组相比,预处理的 MenSCs 给药可显著降低血清白细胞介素 1β(IL-1β)水平。
与 bFGF 和 5-aza 预处理的 BMSCs 相比,bFGF 和 5-aza 预处理的 MenSCs 在 MI 后提供了更好的心脏保护作用。
