目的:观察体外缺氧损伤的大鼠肾小管上皮细胞(NRK-52E)凋亡情况以及分离纯化人脐带间质干细胞来源的外切体(hucMSCs-exosomes)对其干预作用。方法:将体外培养的NRK-52E细胞随机分为对照组、缺氧损伤模型组和hucMSCs-exosomes(0.5,1.0 mg/ml)预处理组。随后进行细胞计数,蛋白质印迹法检测凋亡相关蛋白(Bcl-2,bax)的表达变化,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期以及凋亡率的变化。结果:与对照组相比,模型组细胞凋亡相关指标均明显升高,细胞计数下降(P〈0.01),Bcl-2/bax表达下调(P〈0.01),细胞周期S期阻滞以及凋亡细胞比例明显增多。而hucMSCs-exosomes预处理组可明显改善缺氧损伤时的细胞活力,上调Bcl-2/bax的表达,改善细胞周期和凋亡细胞的比例(P均〈0.05)。结论:NRK-52E在缺氧损伤时有明显的细胞凋亡,而hucMSCs-exosomes预处理可能通过抗凋亡途径减轻缺氧时细胞的损伤。本实验可为进一步研究hucMSCs-exosomes在组织损伤修复中的生物学功能和相关机制提供实验基础。
Objective: To observe the apoptosis of injured rat renal tubular epithelia cells(NRK-52E) induced by cell hypoxia in vitro and the biological functions of hucMSCs-derived exosomes(hucMSCs-exosomes).Methods: Cultured NRK-52E were divided into control group,model group and hucMSCs-exosomes(0.5,1.0mg/ml) pretreated groups.In vitro,NRK-52E were exposed to hypoxia for 8 hours.Then we counted the cells and detected the expression of Bcl-2,bax by Western Blotting.The cell cycles and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results: Compared with control group,the model group showed lower cell counts(P〈0.01) and higher apoptosis ratio.We also observed that the expression of Bcl-2/bax was decreased(P〈0.01) and the cell cycle was blocked at S phase.Compared with model group,hucMSCs-exosomes(0.5,1.0 mg/ml) pretreated groups showed apparent tolerance to hypoxia injury in vitro,which manifestated a higher cell vability,lower apoptosis ratio,increased expression of Bcl-2/bax and relieve the block of S phase(all P〈0.05).Conclusion: Hypoxia could cause the apoptosis of cells in vitro.hucMSCs-exosomes exhibited anti apoptosis ability in vitro.All these may provide experimental evidences for the mechanisms of hucMSCs-exosomes in therapy of tissue injury.
