Molecular Genetic Analysis of Human Endometrial Mesenchymal Stem Cells That Survived Sublethal Heat Shock.

ABSTRACT: High temperature is a critical environmental and personal factor. Although heat shock is a well-studied biological phenomenon, hyperthermia response of stem cells is poorly understood. Previously, we demonstrated that sublethal heat shock induced premature senescence in human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC). This study aimed to investigate the fate of eMSC-survived sublethal heat shock (SHS) with special emphasis on their genetic stability and possible malignant transformation using methods of classic and molecular karyotyping, next-generation sequencing, and transcriptome functional analysis. G-banding revealed random chromosome breakages and aneuploidy in the SHS-treated eMSC. Molecular karyotyping found no genomic imbalance in these cells. Gene module and protein interaction network analysis of mRNA sequencing data showed that compared to untreated cells, SHS-survived progeny revealed some difference in gene expression. However, no hallmarks of cancer were found. Our data identified downregulation of oncogenic signaling, upregulation of tumor-suppressing and prosenescence signaling, induction of mismatch, and excision DNA repair. The common feature of heated eMSC is the silence of MYC, AKT1/PKB oncogenes, and hTERT telomerase. Overall, our data indicate that despite genetic instability, SHS-survived eMSC do not undergo transformation. After long-term cultivation, these cells like their unheated counterparts enter replicative senescence and die.

Project description:ObjectivesAcute lung injury (ALI) remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and to date, there is no effective treatment for ALI. Previous studies have revealed that topical administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can attenuate the pathological changes in experimental acute lung injury. Heat shock (HS) pretreatment has been identified as a method to enhance the survival and function of cells. The present study aimed to assess whether HS-pretreated MSCs could enhance immunomodulation and recovery from ALI.Materials and methodsHS pretreatment was performed at 42 °C for 1 h, and changes in biological characteristics and secretion functions were detected. In an in vivo mouse model of ALI, we intranasally administered pretreated umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs), confirmed their therapeutic effects, and detected the phenotypes of the macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we cocultured pretreated UC-MSCs with macrophages in vitro, and the expression levels of inflammasome-related proteins in the macrophages were assessed.ResultsThe data showed that UC-MSCs did not exhibit significant changes in viability or biological characteristics after HS pretreatment. The administration of HS-pretreated UC-MSCs to the ALI model improved the pathological changes and lung damage-related indexes, reduced the proinflammatory cytokine levels, and modulated the M1/M2 macrophage balance. Mechanistically, both the in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that HS pretreatment enhanced the protein level of HSP70 in UC-MSCs, which negatively modulated NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in alveolar macrophages. These effects were partially reversed by knocking down HSP70 expression.ConclusionHS pretreatment can enhance the beneficial effects of UC-MSCs in inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages during ALI. The mechanism may be related to the upregulated expression of HSP70.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can partially repair chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage. However, low survival rate after transplantation hampers the therapeutic efficiency of BMSCs. Heat shock pretreatment (HSP) effectively improves the cell survival. This study attempted to investigate the mechanisms of HSP on BMSCs survival and the effects of heat shock-pretreated BMSCs (HS-MSCs) on cisplatin-induced granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis. METHODS:BMSCs were isolated, cultured, and identified. After receiving HSP for different duration times in a 42 °C water bath, the apoptotic rates of BMSCs were detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI to determine the optimal condition of HSP. Cisplatin was added to the medium of HS-MSCs to simulate chemotherapy environment. The proliferative curve, apoptotic rate, and viability of HS-MSCs were determined by CCK-8, Annexin V-FITC/PI, and Hoechst33342/PI respectively to explore the alteration of biological characteristics. The levels of heat shock protein 70 and 90 (HSP70 and HSP90) and the expressions of autophagy-related markers (Beclin1 and LC3B) were detected by Western blot. In addition, the autophagosomes were observed by transmission electronic microscopy to discuss the possible mechanisms. The GCs were isolated, cultured, and identified. The HS-MSCs were co-cultured with GCs before and after the addition of cisplatin. Then, the apoptotic rate and viability of GCs were detected to investigate the therapeutic and preventive effects of HS-MSCs on GC apoptosis. RESULTS:After receiving HSP at 42 °C for 1 h, BMSCs represented the lowest apoptotic rate. After the addition of cisplatin, the apoptotic rate of HS-MSCs (11.94% ± 0.63%) was lower than that of BMSCs (14.30% ± 0.80%) and the percentage of HS-MSCs expressing bright blue/dull red fluorescence was lower than that of BMSCs. The expression of HSP70 and HSP90 increased, while the number of autophagosomes, the expression of Beclin1, and the LC3BII/LC3BI ratio decreased in HS-MSCs. The apoptotic rates of GCs co-cultured with HS-MSCs before and after the addition of cisplatin were 39.88% ± 1.65% and 36.72% ± 0.96%, both lower than those of cisplatin-induced GCs (53.81% ± 1.89%). CONCLUSION:HSP can alleviate the apoptosis and improve the survival of BMSCs under chemotherapy environment. The mechanism may be associated with the elevated expression of HSP70 and HSP90 and the attenuation of autophagy. Moreover, HS-MSCs have both therapeutic and preventive effects on cisplatin-induced GC apoptosis.
