The pivotal role of reactive oxygen species generation in the hypoxia-induced stimulation of adipose-derived stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) offer a potential alternative for tissue repair and regeneration. We have recently shown that hypoxia stimulates ASCs and enhances the regenerative potential of ASCs, which is beneficial for ASC therapy. In the present study, we further investigated a key mediator and a signal pathway involved in the stimulation of ASC during hypoxia. Culturing ASC in a hypoxic incubator (2% oxygen tension) increased the proliferation and migration, and this was mediated by Akt and ERK pathways. To determine the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate intensity was detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Hypoxia significantly increased the dichlorofluorescin diacetate intensity, which was greatly reduced by N-acetyl-cysteine and diphenyleneiodonium treatment. Likewise, the hypoxia-induced proliferation and migration of ASCs were reversed by N-acetyl-cysteine and diphenyleneiodonium treatment, suggesting the involvement of ROS generation in ASC stimulation. Further, we examined the activation of receptor tyrosine kinases and observed that hypoxia stimulated the phosphorylation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-?. In summary, the ROS produced by ASCs in response to hypoxia was mostly likely due to NADPH oxidase activity. The increased cellular ROS was accompanied by the phosphorylation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-? as well as by the activation of ERK and Akt signal pathways. Our results suggest a pivotal role for ROS generation in the stimulation of ASCs by hypoxia.

Project description:Upon sensing a reduction in local oxygen partial pressure, pulmonary vessels constrict, a phenomenon known as hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Excessive hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction can occur with ascent to high altitude and is a contributing factor to the development of high-altitude pulmonary edema. The carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, acetazolamide, attenuates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction through stimulation of alveolar ventilation via modulation of acid-base homeostasis and by direct effects on pulmonary vascular smooth muscle. In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), acetazolamide prevents hypoxia-induced increases in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), although the exact mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this study, we explored the effect of acetazolamide on various calcium-handling pathways in PASMCs. Using fluorescent microscopy, we tested whether acetazolamide directly inhibited store-operated calcium entry or calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, two well-documented sources of hypoxia-induced increases in [Ca2+]i in PASMCs. Acetazolamide had no effect on calcium entry stimulated by store-depletion, nor on calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum induced by either phenylephrine to activate inositol triphosphate receptors or caffeine to activate ryanodine receptors. In contrast, acetazolamide completely prevented Ca2+-release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum induced by hypoxia (4% O2). Since these results suggest the acetazolamide interferes with a mechanism upstream of the inositol triphosphate and ryanodine receptors, we also determined whether acetazolamide might prevent hypoxia-induced changes in reactive oxygen species production. Using roGFP, a ratiometric reactive oxygen species-sensitive fluorescent probe, we found that hypoxia caused a significant increase in reactive oxygen species in PASMCs that was prevented by 100 μM acetazolamide. Together, these results suggest that acetazolamide prevents hypoxia-induced changes in [Ca2+]i by attenuating reactive oxygen species production and subsequent activation of Ca2+-release from sarcoplasmic reticulum stores.

Project description:BackgroundLarge numbers of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are easily obtained and have been demonstrated to protect against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin photoaging. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) exhibit some of the same effects as the cells from which they originate and have many advantages over stem cells. In particular, their application circumvents many safety concerns associated with cell therapy. Thus, as a cell-free agent, adipose-derived stem cell extracellular vesicles (ADSC-EVs) have anti-photoaging potential. However, the protective effects of ADSC-EVs in skin photoaging remain uncertain.MethodsTo investigate the effect of ADSC-EVs on mice with UVB-induced photoaging, 150 μg and 300 μg ADSC-EVs were subcutaneously injected weekly into photoaging mice for 8 weeks. The protective effect was evaluated by gross assessment and hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, and β-galactosidase staining. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, CD68, and dihydroethidium staining were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, inflammation infiltration, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, respectively. In vitro, 100 μg/mL and 200 μg/mL ADSC-EVs were used to treat photoaging fibroblasts (FBs). β-galactosidase staining and collagen 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) expression were analyzed to evaluate FB senescence. To explain the protective mechanism of ADSC-EVs, their role in regulating ROS production, antioxidant enzyme expression, cell cycle arrest, and inflammation was evaluated.ResultsIn vivo, we showed that ADSC-EVs decreased skin wrinkles in mice with UVB-induced photoaging, while promoting epidermal cell proliferation and attenuating macrophage infiltration and ROS production. In vitro, we showed that ADSC-EVs increased FB activity and protected FBs from UVB-induced senescence, attenuated raw 264.7 cell differentiation from M0 to M1 macrophages, reduced intracellular ROS production, promoted antioxidant enzyme expression, and rescued FBs from cell cycle arrest.ConclusionThe anti-photoaging effect of ADSC-EVs was attributed to their ability to attenuate ROS production and the inflammatory response, which are key factors in MMP activation and collagen degradation.
