Effect of Hypoxia Preconditioned Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Conditioned Medium on Cerulein-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Mice

Abstract

Purpose: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder distinguished by tissue injury and inflammation of the pancreas. Using paracrine potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provides a useful clinical approach in treating inflammatory diseases. We investigated the therapeutic effects of adipose-derived MSC conditioned medium (CM) and hypoxia preconditioned adipose-derived MSC conditioned medium (HCM) in cerulein-induced AP in mice. Methods: AP was induced in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of cerulein (75 μg/ kg/h × 7 times). One hour following the last injection of cerulein, mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of CM and HCM (500 µL/mice/30 min × 3 times). Twelve hours following the treatment, serum levels of amylase and lipase were measured. In addition, pancreas pathological changes, immunohistochemical examinations for evaluation of IL-6 expression and pancreatic myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme activity were analyzed. Results: The in vitro results of the morphological, differentiation and immunophenotyping analyses confirmed that hypoxia preconditioned MSCs (HP-MSCs) conserve MSCs characteristics after preconditioning. However, HP-MSCs significantly expressed high mRNA level of hypoxia inducible factor 1-α and higher level of total protein. The in vivo findings of the current study showed that CM and HCM significantly reduced the amylase & lipase activity, the severity of pancreas tissue injury and the expression of IL-6 and MPO enzyme activity compared with the AP group. However, no significant difference between CM and HCM groups was demonstrated. Conclusion: Use of CM and HCM can attenuate cerulein-induced AP and decrease inflammation in the pancreas tissue in AP mice.

Efficacy of stem cell therapy for burn wounds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies

“…Furthermore, stem cells are abundant in origin and can be isolated from adipose tissue, umbilical cord, embryo, bone, gingiva, and other tissues [23]. It is reported that stem cell transplantation has been applied to treat various disease models and significantly improved their prognosis, including burns [24], digestive diseases [25], renal diseases [26], and autoimmune diseases [27]. In recent years, stem cell therapy has attracted increasing interest as a potential treatment for burn wounds, because stem cells may affect many processes of burn wound healing, including accelerating the synthesis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), alleviating the inflammatory response, and promoting the angiogenesis [16,[28][29][30].…”

Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Attenuate Tissue Injury and Reduce Inflammation in Experimental Acute Pancreatitis

“…Neutrophil sequestration within the pancreatic tissue was evaluated by assessing the tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. 28 Tissue samples initially had frozen at -70°C and were thawed at 4°C. The tissues were then homogenized in 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer (PH 7.4) and centrifuged (13 000 × g, 10 minutes, 4°C).…”

In Vitro Anti-cancer Activity of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Increased after Infection with Oncolytic Reovirus

“…Also, the AD-MSCs were differentiated toward adipogenic and osteogenic direction, which confirms the multipotentiality feature of these cells. 24 For adipocyte differentiation, 2 ×10 3 of AD-MSCs at passage 3 were cultured in the each well of six-well plate and then adipogenic differentiation medium ( Cat No : A1007001) containing DMEM, FBS (10%), pen (100 U/mL) – strep (100 µg/mL), insulin (10 µg/mL), indomethacin (100µM), Dexamethasone (0.1µM), and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (IBMX) (0.5 mM) was added into the test wells. The cultures supernatant were replaced and cells were fed with fresh differentiation media containing indomethacin as an induction factor every 2 days until 8 days.…”
