Cell-derived vesicles from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate irradiation-induced salivary gland cell damage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Salivary gland (SG) damage is commonly caused by aging, irradiation, and some medications, and currently, no damage modifying agent is available. However, cell therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed as a therapeutic modality for irradiated SGs. Therefore, we administered cell-derived vesicles (CDVs) of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) to irradiated SG cells to investigate their radioprotective effects in vitro.

Methods

The artificial CDVs were obtained from ADMSC by tangential flow filtration (TFF) purification and ultracentrifugation. Cultured human SG epithelial cells were exposed to 2, 5 or 15 Gy of 4 MV X-rays produced by a linear accelerator. The effects of ADMSC-CDVs on SG epithelial cells damaged by irradiation were tested by proliferation activity, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), and amylase activity.

Results

Exposure to penetrating radiation inhibited the proliferation of SG epithelial cells, but the radiation intensity required to reduce the proliferation of human submandibular gland epithelial cells (hSMGECs) was greater than required for other SG cells. ADMSC-CDVs restored the proliferative ability of SG epithelial cells reduced by irradiation, and the proliferation capacities of irradiated human parotid gland epithelial cells (hPGECs) and human sublingual gland epithelial cells (hSLGECs) were increased by administering ADMSC-CDVs to non-irradiated SG epithelial cells. Furthermore, amylase activity in irradiated hPGECs, hSMGECs, and hSLGECs was lower than in non-irradiated controls. However, amylase ability was restored in all by ADMSC-CDV treatment. Also, TEER was diminished by irradiation in hPGECs, hSMGECs, and hSLGECs and restored by ADMSC-CDV administration.

Conclusion

Overall, our findings demonstrate that ADMSC-CDVs have potent radioprotective effects on irradiated SG cells.

Project description:Limitations in the current therapeutic strategies for the prevention of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end stage renal disease has been a drawback to improving patient recovery. It is therefore imperative that a solution is found to alleviate this problem and improve the health and well-being of patients overall. Aristolochic acid (AA) induced nephropathy, a type of nephrotoxic CKD is characterised by cortical tubular injury, inflammation, leading to interstitial fibrosis. Extracellular vesicles derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) display therapeutic properties in various disease models including kidney injury. In the current study, we intended to investigate the ability of MSC-EVs on ameliorating tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis in a mouse model of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). The chronic model of AAN is comprised of an intraperitoneal injection of AA in NSG mice, followed by a three-day incubation period and then inoculation of MSC-EVs intravenously. This routine was performed on a weekly basis for four consecutive weeks, accompanied by the monitoring of body weight of all mice. Blood and tissue samples were collected post sacrifice. All animals administered with AA developed kidney injury and renal fibrosis. A gradual loss of body weight was observed, together with a deterioration in kidney function. Although no significant recovery was observed in weight loss following treatment with MSC-EVs, a significant reduction in: blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), tubular necrosis, and interstitial fibrosis was observed. In addition, infiltration of CD45 positive immune cells, fibroblasts, and pericytes which were elevated in the interstitium post AA induced injury, were also significantly reduced by MSC-EVs. Kidneys were also subjected to molecular analyses to evaluate the regulation of pro-fibrotic genes. MSC-EVs significantly reduced AA induction of the pro-fibrotic genes α-Sma, Tgfb1 and Col1a1. A downregulation in pro-fibrotic genes was also observed in fibroblasts activated by AA injured mTECs in vitro. Furthermore, meta-analyses of miRNAs downregulated by MSC-EVs, such as miR21, revealed the regulation of multiple pathways involved in kidney injury including fibrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis. These results therefore suggest that MSC-EVs could play a regenerative and anti-fibrotic role in AAN through the transfer of biologically active cargo that regulates the disease both at a protein and genetic level.
