| خلاصه مقاله | Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by deficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance
leading to dyslipidemia. Human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) are crucial
for the regeneration process of adult tissues. Since regenerative capacity is impaired in DM, this study
aimed to evaluate the effect of diabetic serum free fatty acids (FFAs) on stemness of AdMSCs in vitro.
Methods AdMSCs were retrieved from abdominal adipose tissue samples. Pooled diabetic and nondiabetic
serums were then prepared from 7 and 8 women in menopausal ages (up to 65 year),
respectively. AdMSCs were treated with diabetic serum (DS), non-diabetic serum (NDS), diabetic FFAenriched
serum (DFS) and non-diabetic FFA-enriched serum (NDFS) for 48 hours. FFA composition
was analyzed using gas-liquid chromatography. The expression of stemness markers CD49e and CD90
were also analyzed by quantitative PCR. Cell proliferation was evaluated by BrdU assay. The study
was approved by the local ethics committee (No. IR.TBZMED.REC.1398.659).
Results A significantly higher oleate level was observed in DS (1.4-fold, p<0.05) compared to NDS.
Compared to NDS, DS significantly decreased CD49e expression (0.4±0.24 versus 1.05±0.43-fold
change, p<0.05, respectively). However, no significant differences were observed in CD90 expression
between the groups. Compared to NDFS, DFS significantly decreased the CD49e and CD90 expression
(4.14±0.08 versus 6.2±0.46-fold change, p<0.05, and 1.34±0.17 versus 2.74±0.5, p<0.05, respectively).
Additionally, DFS significantly decreased AdMSCs proliferation rate in contrast to NDFS (68.0%±1.0
versus 105.36%±0.65, p<0.05).
Conclusion The negative effect of DS on AdMSCs stemness maintenance may be due to the higher
oleate level. Therefore, controlling this fatty acid level in DM can be considered as a strategy for
improving regeneration capacity in diabetic complications such as ulcers and delayed wound healing. |
