A key characteristic of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is pulmonary vascular remodeling, involving abnormal proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Recent studies indicate that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exo) exhibit therapeutic effects on HPH. MSC-exosomes were isolated from the conditioned medium of bone mesenchymal stem cells using ultracentrifugation, confirmed via Western blotting (WB), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nanoparticle tracking analyses (NTA). Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGFBB) induced pathological behavior in PASMCs, replicating the conditions observed in HPH. HPH rats were subjected to a low oxygen environment (10 ± 1% oxygen) for 8 h daily over 28 days. Parameters such as right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI), and pulmonary vascular remodeling were evaluated. MSC-exosomes suppressed PDGFBB-induced proliferation and migration of PASMCs. Additionally, MSC-exosomes protected rats from hypoxia-induced increases in RVSP, right ventricular hypertrophy, and pulmonary vascular remodeling. The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ErbB2) was investigated in both HPH lung tissues and PDGFBB-induced PASMCs. Results indicated significant upregulation of EGFR/ErbB2 expression in HPH and PDGFBB-induced PASMCs, which was suppressed by MSC-exosomes. The study demonstrates that MSC-exosomes inhibit the development of HPH by suppressing excessive proliferation and migration of PASMCs through the inhibition of EGFR/ErbB2 heterodimerization.
缺氧性肺动脉高压(HPH)的一个关键特征是肺血管重塑,涉及肺动脉平滑肌细胞(PASMCs)的异常增殖和迁移。最近的研究表明,间充质干细胞衍生的外泌体(MSC-exo)对HPH具有治疗作用。使用超速离心法从骨髓间充质干细胞的条件培养基中分离出MSC-外泌体,并通过蛋白质免疫印迹法(WB)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和纳米颗粒跟踪分析(NTA)进行确认。血小板衍生生长因子BB(PDGFBB)诱导PASMCs出现病理行为,模拟了HPH中观察到的情况。将HPH大鼠置于低氧环境(氧含量为10±1%)中,每天8小时,持续28天。评估右心室收缩压(RVSP)、右心室肥大指数(RVHI)和肺血管重塑等参数。MSC-外泌体抑制了PDGFBB诱导的PASMCs增殖和迁移。此外,MSC-外泌体保护大鼠免受缺氧诱导的RVSP升高、右心室肥大和肺血管重塑的影响。在HPH肺组织和PDGFBB诱导的PASMCs中研究了表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)和表皮生长因子受体2(ErbB2)的表达。结果表明,在HPH和PDGFBB诱导的PASMCs中,EGFR/ErbB2表达显著上调,而MSC-外泌体抑制了这种上调。该研究表明,MSC-外泌体通过抑制EGFR/ErbB2异二聚化来抑制PASMCs的过度增殖和迁移,从而抑制HPH的发展。
