Functional secretome analysis reveals Annexin-A1 as important paracrine factor derived from fetal mesenchymal stem cells in hepatic regeneration.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their secreted molecules exert beneficial effects in injured tissues by promoting tissue regeneration and angiogenesis and by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. We have previously demonstrated that the therapeutic activity of fetal MSCs derived from amniotic fluid (AF-MSCs) and their hepatic progenitor-like cells (HPL) is mediated by paracrine effects in a mouse model of acute hepatic failure (AHF).

Methods

Herein, we have combined proteomic profiling of the AF-MSCs and HPL cell secretome with ex vivo and in vivo functional studies to identify specific soluble factors, which underpin tissue regeneration in AHF.

Findings

The anti-inflammatory molecule Annexin-A1 (ANXA1) was detected at high levels in both AF-MSC and HPL cell secretome. Further functional analyses revealed that the shRNA-mediated knock-down of ANXA1 in MSCs (shANXA1-MSCs) decreased their proliferative, clonogenic and migratory potential, as well as their ability to differentiate into HPL cells. Liver progenitors (oval cells) from AHF mice displayed reduced proliferation when cultured ex vivo in the presence of conditioned media from shANXA1-MSCs compared to control MSCs secretome. Intra-hepatic delivery of conditioned media from control MSCs but not shANXA1-MSCs reduced liver damage and circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in AHF.

Interpretation

Collectively, our study uncovers secreted Annexin-A1 as a novel effector of MSCs in liver regeneration and further underscores the potential of cell-free therapeutic strategies for liver diseases.
