Mesenchymal stromal cells secretome restores bioenergetic and redox homeostasis in human proximal tubule cells after ischemic injury

ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The current standard of care focuses on supporting kidney function, stating the need for more efficient and targeted therapies to enhance repair. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and their secretome, either as conditioned medium (CM) or extracellular vesicles (EVs), have emerged as promising options for regenerative therapy, however, their full potential in treating AKI remains unknown.

METHODS: In this study, we employed an in vitro model of chemically-induced ischemia using antimycin A combined with 2-deoxy-D-glucose to induce ischemic injury in proximal tubule epithelial cells. Afterwards, we evaluated the effects of MSC secretome, CM or EVs obtained from adipose tissue, bone marrow and umbilical cord, on ameliorating the detrimental effects of ischemia. To assess the damage and treatment outcomes, we analyzed cell morphology, mitochondrial health parameters (mitochondrial activity, ATP production, mass and membrane potential) and overall cell metabolism by metabolomics.

RESULTS: Our findings show that ischemic injury caused cytoskeletal changes confirmed by disruption of the F-actin network, energetic imbalance as revealed by a 50% decrease in the oxygen consumption rate, increased oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced cell metabolism. Upon treatment with MSC secretome, the morphological derangements were partly restored and ATP production increased by 40-50%, with umbilical cord-derived EVs being most effective. Furthermore, MSC treatment led to phenotype restoration as indicated by an increase in cell bioenergetics, including increased levels of glycolysis intermediates, as well as an accumulation of antioxidant metabolites.

CONCLUSION: Our in vitro model effectively replicated the in vivo-like morphological and molecular changes observed during ischemic injury. Additionally, treatment with MSC secretome ameliorated proximal tubule damage, highlighting its potential as a viable therapeutic option for targeting AKI.

Project description:Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical event with high morbidity and mortality. We previously demonstrated that injection of cord blood endothelial colony forming cell (ECFC)-derived exosomes, highly enriched in miRNA(miR)-486-5p, prevented ischemic kidney injury in mice. While preclinical models support involvement of several miRs in AKI, the direct effects of miR-486-5p on injury and the kidney transcriptome are unknown. Objective: We studied effects of miR-486-5p in mice with kidney ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, and compared the impact of miR-486-5p and ECFC-derived exosomes on the transcriptome of proximal tubules (PTs) and renal endothelial cells. Methods: Adult male mice were subjected to bilateral kidney ischemia (30 min), and injected via tail vein with or without vehicle, miR-486-5p mimic, ECFC-derived exosomes, or scramble miR at the start of reperfusion. Plasma and tissues were collected 24 hrs after reperfusion, and proximal tubular and endothelial cells were isolated for mRNA analysis by RNA-Seq. Results: In mice with kidney IR, injection of miR-486-5p mimic increased levels of miR-486-5p in proximal tubules and endothelial cells, and significantly improved plasma creatinine, histological injury, neutrophil infiltration, and apoptosis, compared to vehicle treatment. MiR-486-5p inhibited expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), and activated AKT. Similar results were observed with exosomes, but scramble miR had no effect. In proximal tubules, miR-486-5p or exosomes reduced expression of several AKI genes (e.g. Lcn2, Havcr1 and Krt20) and caused alterations in apoptotic genes compared to IR alone. In endothelium, miR-486-5p or exosomes caused milder effect than in PTs but still impacting on expression of injury-related genes. Conclusion: MiR-486-5p protects mice against ischemic kidney injury. Both miR-486-5p and exosomes reduce expression of apoptotic genes in PTs and endothelium. The results suggest that systemic delivery of miR-486-5p has therapeutic potential in ischemic AKI.

Project description:The management of cardiac ischemic injury has been challenged by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from mitochondrial reverse electron transport (RET) during the early phase of reperfusion is considered to be the initiating cause for ischemia and reperfusion injury. Ginsenosides and their prescriptions are widely used in the clinic for treatment of myocardial ischemia, however, the action to combat ROS remains to be elucidated. In this work, we used TMT-based proteomic approach to detect differential proteins from mitochondrial fractions of mice hearts with ischemia-reperfusion. Results indicated that the mass error of identified peptides was within 10 ppm, and most of the identified peptides were composed of 7-23 amino acids. Using these qualified data, 17,262 peptides, with a confidence level ≥ 95%, were mapped to 3,054 protein groups. PCA analysis showed that the model group was clearly separated from the blank group, while the protein pattern was partly reversed with Rb1 treatment. With a criteria of p-value < 0.05, 591 significantly changed proteins including 186 increased and 405 decreased ones in the model group were identified compared with the blank group. These proteins were divided into 4 clusters. Proteins in Cluster I highly increased in the model group, but clearly decreased in the Rb1 group. Proteins in Cluster IV clearly decreased in the model group, but markedly increased in the Rb1 group. Proteins in Cluster III and in Cluster IV were not significantly or slightly regulated by the Rb1 treatment. GO analysis of Cluster I and II indicated that the molecular function of these proteins were closely related to oxidoreductase activity and NADH dehydrogenase activity. Our result showed that Rb1 administration before ischemia markedly decreased infarct size (48 h post-I/R), and preserved cardiac function (2 weeks post-I/R), and subsequently limited tissue fibrosis (28 days post-I/R). These results indicated that targeted inhibition of mitochondrial complex I in the early stage of reperfusion by Rb1 is a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating IR injury. This work not only indicates a potent molecular target for the precision therapy of myocardial ischemia by Rb1, but also provides novel knowledge for the management of cardiac ischemic injury by traditional Chinese medicine.
