Porcine placenta extract improves high-glucose-induced angiogenesis impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High glucose (HG)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction impairs angiogenesis that is one pivotal factor of wound healing process. Angiogenesis impairment induces delayed wound healing, whereby it eventually leads to amputation in cases of poorly controlled diabetes with diabetic ulceration. Porcine placenta extract (PPE) is a natural waste product that comprises plenty of bioactive agents including growth factors and antioxidants. It was reported as an effective compound that prevents ROS generation. The goal of this study was to investigate the in vitro effect of PPE on HG-induced ROS-mediated angiogenesis impairment.

Methods

Primary endothelial cells (HUVECs) and endothelial cell line (EA.hy926) were treated with HG in the presence of PPE. The endothelial cells (ECs) viability, intracellular ROS generation, migration, and angiogenesis were determined by MTT assay, DCFDA reagent, wound healing assay, and tube formation assay, respectively. Additionally, the molecular mechanism of PPE on HG-induced angiogenesis impairment was investigated by Western blot. The angiogenic growth factor secretion was also investigated by the sandwich ELISA technique.

Results

HG in the presence of PPE significantly decreased intracellular ROS overproduction compared to HG alone. HG in the presence of PPE significantly increased ECs viability, migration, and angiogenesis compared to HG alone by showing recovery of PI3K/Akt/ERK1/2 activation. HG in the presence of PPE also decreased ECs apoptosis compared to HG alone by decreasing p53/Bax/cleaved caspase 9/cleaved caspase 3 levels and increasing Bcl 2 level.

Conclusion

PPE attenuated HG-induced intracellular ROS overproduction that improved ECs viability, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis by showing recovery of PI3K/Akt/ERK1/2 activation and inhibition of ECs apoptosis. This study suggests PPE ameliorated HG-induced ROS-mediated angiogenesis impairment, whereby it potentially provides an alternative treatment for diabetic wounds.

Project description:BackgroundOxidative stress in placenta is associated with the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in sow, but there are few satisfactory treatment strategies for these conditions. This study investigated the potential of cysteamine (CS) as an antioxidant protectant for regulating the reproductive performance, redox status, and placental angiogenesis of sows.MethodsThe placental oxidative stress status and vascular density of piglets with different birth weights: < 1.0 kg (low birth weight, LBW) and 1.4-1.6 kg (normal birth weight, NBW) were evaluated, followed by allotting 84 sows to four treatments (n = 21) and feeding them with a basal diet supplemented with 0, 100, 300, or 500 mg/kg of CS from d 85 of gestation to d 21 of lactation, respectively. Placenta, serum, and colostrum samples of sows or piglets were collected, and the characteristics of sows and piglets were recorded. Furthermore, the in vivo results were validated using porcine vascular endothelial cells (PVECs).ResultsCompared with the NBW placentae, the LBW placentae showed increased oxidative damage and were vulnerable to angiogenesis impairment. Particularly, H2O2-induced oxidative stress prompted intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and inhibited the tube formation and migration of PVECs as well as the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) in vitro. However, dietary CS supplementation can alleviate oxidative stress and improve the reproductive performance of sows. Specifically, compared with the control group, dietary 100 mg/kg CS could (1) decrease the stillbirth and invalid rates, and increase both the piglet birth weight in the low yield sows and the placental efficiency; (2) increase glutathione and reduce malondialdehyde in both the serum and the colostrum of sows; (3) increase the levels of total antioxidant capacity and glutathione in LBW placentae; (4) increase the vascular density, the mRNA level of VEGF-A, and the immune-staining intensity of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in the LBW placentae. Furthermore, the in vitro experiment indicated that CS pre-treatment could significantly reverse the NADPH oxidase 2-ROS-mediated inactivation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) signaling pathway induced by H2O2 inhibition of the proliferation, tube formation, and migration of PVECs. Meanwhile, inhibition of Stat3 significantly decreased the cell viability, tube formation and the VEGF-A protein level in CS pretreated with H2O2-cultured PVECs.ConclusionsThe results indicated that oxidative stress and impaired angiogenesis might contribute to the occurrence of LBW piglets during pregnancy, but CS supplementation at 100 mg/kg during late gestation and lactation of sows could alleviate oxidative stress and enhance angiogenesis in placenta, thereby increasing birth weight in low yield sows and reducing stillbirth rate. The in vitro data showed that the underlying mechanism for the positive effects of CS might be related to the activation of Stat3 in PVECs.
