Otitis media is a common disease but can cause severe inner ear inflammation and hearing loss if it persists for more than two weeks. This study elucidates the inflammation-inhibiting efficacy of conditioned medium (CM) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human trophoblast (TB) cells in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human middle ear epithelial cells (HMEECs). TB-conditioned medium (TB-CM) reduced the inflammatory response and regulated mucin and epithelial sodium channel genes in LPS-induced HMEECs. The underlying mechanism of cell migration during inflammatory healing in LPS-induced HMEECs treated with TB-CM was determined by RNA-sequencing analysis. Specifically, the NF-κB pathway related to the copper metabolism MURR1 domain protein was studied and verified through siRNA. This elucidation of the anti-inflammatory effect of TB-CM and TB-derived EVs demonstrates their clinical potential to treat chronic inflammation.
中耳炎是一种常见疾病,但如果持续超过两周,可能会导致严重的内耳炎症和听力损失。本研究阐明了人滋养层细胞(TB)来源的条件培养基(CM)和细胞外囊泡(EV)在脂多糖(LPS)诱导的人中耳上皮细胞(HMEEC)中的抗炎作用。TB 条件培养基(TB-CM)降低了 LPS 诱导的 HMEEC 中的炎症反应,并调节了粘蛋白和上皮钠通道基因。通过 RNA 测序分析,确定了 LPS 诱导的 HMEEC 在用 TB-CM 处理后的炎症愈合过程中的细胞迁移的潜在机制。具体而言,研究了与铜代谢 MURR1 结构域蛋白相关的 NF-κB 通路,并通过 siRNA 进行了验证。这项关于 TB-CM 和 TB 衍生 EV 的抗炎作用的阐明表明它们具有治疗慢性炎症的临床潜力。
