Effect of advanced glycosylation end products on apoptosis in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells in vitro.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Both apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in adipose tissue-derived stem cells play an important role in the therapeutic process of diabetes patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of advanced glycation end products-human serum albumin (AGE-HSA) on apoptosis in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and to characterize the signal transduction pathways activated by AGEs that are involved in apoptosis regulation. RESULTS: AGE-HSA promoted apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in ADSCs. However, the effects of AGE-HSA were significantly attenuated by an inhibitor of p38 MAPK, but not by inhibitors of JNK MAPK or ERK MAPK. AGE-HSA also upregulated the expression of RAGE. Silencing of the RAGE gene inhibited AGE-HSA-induced apoptosis, and activation and expression of phosphorylated p38 MAPK. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that AGE-HSA promote the apoptosis of ADSCs in vitro via a RAGE-dependent p38 MAPK pathway.

Project description:Tendon pathologies affect a large portion of people with diabetes. This high rate of tendon pain, injury, and disease appears to manifest independent of well-controlled HbA1c and fasting blood glucose. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are elevated in the serum of those with diabetes. In vitro, AGEs severely impact tendon fibroblast proliferation and mitochondrial function. However, the extent that AGEs impact the tendon cell transcriptome has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate transcriptome-wide changes that occur to tendon-derived fibroblasts following treatment with AGEs. We propose to complete a descriptive approach to pathway profiling to broaden our mechanistic understanding of cell signaling events that may contribute to the development of tendon pathology. Rat Achilles tendon fibroblasts were treated with glycolaldehyde-derived AGEs (200μg/ml) for 48 hours in normal glucose (5.5mM) conditions. In addition, total RNA was isolated, and the PolyA+ library was sequenced. We demonstrate that tendon fibroblasts treated with 200μg/ml of AGEs differentially express 2,159 gene targets compared to fibroblasts treated with an equal amount of BSA-Control. Additionally, we report in a descriptive and ranked fashion 21 implicated cell-signaling pathways.

Additionally, we report in a descriptive and ranked fashion 21 implicated cell-signaling pathways. Our findings suggest that AGEs disrupt the tendon fibroblast transcriptome on a large scale and that these pathways may contribute to the development and progression of diabetic tendinopathy. Specifically, pathways related to cell cycle progression and extracellular matrix remodeling were affected in our data set and may play a contributing role in the development of diabetic tendon complications.
