Oxidative/inflammatory stresses due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cause prolonged microglia activation and cortical dysmaturation, thereby contributing to neurodevelopmental impairments in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study found that delivery of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) via CPB minimizes microglial activation and neuronal apoptosis, with subsequent improvement of cortical dysmaturation and behavioral alteration after neonatal cardiac surgery. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses suggest that exosome-derived miRNAs may be the key drivers of suppressed apoptosis and STAT3-mediated microglial activation. Our findings demonstrate that MSC treatment during cardiac surgery has significant translational potential for improving cortical dysmaturation and neurological impairment in children with CHD.
体外循环(CPB)引起的氧化/炎症应激会导致小胶质细胞长期激活和皮质发育异常,从而导致先天性心脏病(CHD)患儿出现神经发育障碍。本研究发现,通过CPB输送间充质基质细胞(MSC)可使小胶质细胞激活和神经元凋亡降至最低,进而改善新生儿心脏手术后的皮质发育异常和行为改变。此外,转录组分析表明,外泌体衍生的miRNA可能是抑制细胞凋亡和STAT3介导的小胶质细胞激活的关键驱动因素。我们的研究结果表明,心脏手术期间的MSC治疗在改善CHD患儿的皮质发育异常和神经功能障碍方面具有显著的转化潜力。
