Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of different concentrations of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADMSCs) derived exosome-mimetic nanovesicles (NVs)and exosomes (EXOs) on the biological function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) .Methods:(1) Through hydrodynamic liposuction, adipose tissue was obtained from the thighs of 10 women (aged 18-65 years) in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from June 2019 to August 2020. The hADMSCs were isolated by enzymatic hydrolysis, cultured to passage 4 and induced into adipocytes and osteocytes. The surface protein markers were identified by flow cytometry. (2) hADMSCs-NVs and hADMSCs-EXOs were prepared and observed under an electron microscope. Their surface protein markers were analyzed with particle size analyzer, particle size was analyzed with nanoparticle tracker. Protein quantitative analysis and nanoparticle tracking were used to detect the total protein and particle number of NVs and EXOs produced by 1×10 6 hADMSCs. (3) The control group (DMEM basic medium), 40, 60, 80 μg/ml NVs groups and 20, 40, 60 μg/ml EXOs groups were set to compare the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs through CCK-8 proliferation test, cell scratch test and angiogenesis test respectively. Graphpad Prism 7.0 was used for statistical analysis, and the measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was applied to the comparison between multiple groups, and Tukey test was applied to pairwise comparison. P<0.05 represented statistical significance. Results:(1) The fourth generation of hADMSCs were slender spindle-shaped cells under optical microscope. After 21 days of adipogenesis induction, the transparent lipid droplets inside the cells were stained red by oil red O staining. After 14 days of osteogenesis induction, a large proportion of brown black staining area was observed by alkaline phosphatase calcium cobalt staining. The surface protein markers CD90 and CD29 of hADMSCs were positive. (2) Under transmission electron microscope, the structures of hADMSCs-NVs and EXOs were similar, both were discoid vesicles. The expression levels of CD9, CD81 and IgG were similar between NVS and EXOs. The particle sizes of NVs and EXOs were about the same, which were (72.0 ± 21.51) nm and (81.27±22.37) nm. The total protein content of NVs produced by 1×10 6 hADMSCs was (140.7±5.1) μg, about 100 times that of EXOs, which was (1.3±0.3) μg. The number of NVs [(644.5 ± 17.1)×10 8/ml] particles was about 90 times that of EXOs [(7.1±0.1)×10 8/ml]. (3) In CCK-8 proliferation assay, at 12, 24 and 48 hours after culture, the growth trend of HUVECs in the groups were generally consistent, and the difference in absorbance value was statistically significant ( P<0.01); at 48 hours after culture, the absorbance values of 60 μg/ml NVs and 40 μg/ml EXOs were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups ( P>0.05). At 8 and 24 hours after cell scratch assay, the changes of scratch width in each group were different, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01); at 24 hours after scratch, the change of scratch width in 60 μg/ml NVs and 40 μg/ml EXOs groups were greater than that in the control group (all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups ( P>0.05). In the angiogenesis assay, the number of branch points and the length of blood vessels in each group were different, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The number of capillary branches formed by HUVECs in 60 μg/ml NVs and 40 μg/ml EXOs groups were higher than that in the control group (all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups (all P>0.05). The capillary length of 60 μg/ml NVs and 40 μg/ml EXOs groups were longer than that of the control group ( all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The shape and size of NVs were similar to EXOs, while the total protein content of NVs was about 100 times that of EXOs. The effects of hADMSCs-NVs and EXOs on the biological functions of HUVECs are similar and the optimum concentrations of NVs and EXOs are 60 μg/ml and 40 μg/ml, respectively.
