Stem cell secretome-treatment improves whole-body metabolism, reduces adiposity and promotes skeletal muscle function in aged mice


ABSTRACT: Aging coincides with the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, increased adiposity, and diminished physical function. Accordingly, interventions aimed at improving muscle, metabolic, and/or physical health are of interest to mitigate the adverse effects of aging. In this study, we tested a stem-cell secretome product which contains a host of growth, cytoskeletal remodeling, and immunomodulatory factors. We examined the effects of 4 weeks of bi-weekly unilateral intramuscular secretome injections (quadriceps) in ambulatory aged male C57Bl/6 mice (22-23 months) compared to saline injected aged-matched controls. After 4 weeks of treatment, secretome delivery substantially increased whole body lean mass and decreased fat mass corresponding to higher fiber cross sectional area and smaller adipocyte size, respectively. Secretome-treated mice also displayed improved whole-body grip strength and rotarod performance and had higher energy expenditure and physical activity levels compared to control mice. Furthermore, secretome-treated mice had greater skeletal muscle Pax7+ cell abundance, capillary density, and collagen turnover. Finally, the secretome product reduced lipid content and lipid droplet size in adipocytes in vitro. These data suggest intramuscular treatment secretome improves whole-body metabolism, physical function, and remodels skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in aged mice.
