| خلاصه مقاله | Background and Aim: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with selfrenewal
activity, trans-differentiation into different lineages contribute to
the reconstitution of injured tissues by augmentation of angiogenesis. It
was reported that in patients with diabetes type 2 DM2 deficient and
abnormal angiogenesis are very common. hMSCs are more sensitive to
the persistent diabetic condition. In the present study, we aimed to study
the effect of sera from DM2 patients on the differentiation capacity of
hMSCs into endothelial and pericyte cells.
Methods: For in vitro assays, hMSCs were classified into three groups as
follows; Control: cells received FBS; Non-diabetic: cells received sera
from healthy subjects and Diabetic groups treated with diabetic sera.
hMSCs were exposed to DMEM/LG containing 10% FBS, healthy and
diabetic sera over a period of 7 days. To measure the differentiation
capacity of hMSCs, cells were incubated with endothelial and pericytes
differentiation media after 7-day exposure to FBS and sera from healthy
and diabetic subjects. To monitor the endothelial- and pericyte-like
differentiation, the expression of VE-cadherin (CD144) (Cat no 53-1449-
41, ebioscience) and NG2 (Cat no: 53-6504-82, ebioscience) were
monitored by a flow cytometry and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake
assays. Data are shown as mean SD. One-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA) and Tukey post hoc test was used in experiments between
groups. Values of P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: Diabetic serum inhibited hMSCs differentiation capacity by
down-regulating VE-cadherin as compared to cells from FBS and nondiabetic
groups (P diabetic sera vs. FBS <0.000001; P diabetic sera vs.
non-diabetic <0.01). The maximum level of VE-cadherin revealed in
FBS group which was more than non-diabetic counterpart (P < 0.0001).
In the absence of differentiation factors, 14-day incubation of hMSCs
with FBS, non-diabetic and diabetic sera showed a similar pattern in the
dynamic of VE-cadherin. Data from fluoresce microscopy confirmed that
the potential of hMSCs in FBS and non-diabetic groups to uptake Dil-
Ac-LDL after being exposed to endothelial induction medium. While
the ability for uptake of Ac-LDL in differentiated cells and lipoprotein
lipase activity was profoundly abolished in diabetic condition. There was
a significant inhibitory effect of diabetic sera on pericyte differentiation
capacity in hMSCs (P diabetic sera vs. FBS <0.001). Compared to FBS
group, we also found a significant reduction in pericyte differentiation
of hMSCs (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Our data revealed that DM2 could potentially decrease both
endothelial and pericyte differentiation of hMSCs. |
