Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effects of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived exosomes on neuronal injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R).Methods:HT22 neurons of mice were cultured and divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), OGD/R group and OGD/R plus EPC-derived exosome group (OGD/R+ EXO group). Cells in group C were cultured in normal atmosphere.In group OGD/R, the cells were exposed to 94%N 2-1%O 2-5%CO 2 for 6 h in glucose- and serum-free DMEM medium, followed by 24 h restoration of O 2 and glucose in the normal medium.In group OGD/R+ EXO, 20 μg/ml EPC-derived exosomes were added to the culture medium at 24 h before developing the model.EPCs were identified by immunofluorescence staining.Exosomes were identified by Western blot, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The neuronal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining, and the apoptosis rate was calculated.The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3 was determined by Western blot, and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio was calculated. Results:The cultured cells were EPCs, and EPC-derived exosomes were successfully extracted.Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the content of MDA was increased, the activity of SOD was decreased, the apoptosis rate was increased, the expression of Bax was up-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated, and the ratio of cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 was increased in group OGD/R and group OGD/R+ EXO ( P<0.05). Compared with group OGD/R, the cell viability was significantly increased, the content of MDA was decreased, the activity of SOD was increased, the apoptosis rate was decreased, the expression of Bax was down-regulated, the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated, and the ratio of cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 was decreased in group OGD/R+ EXO ( P<0.05). Conclusions:EPC-derived exosomes can reduce OGD/R-induced neuronal injury, which is related to inhibition of oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis.
