ObjectiveThe lung mesenchymal stem cells （LMSCs） induced by D-galactose （D-gal） were intervened by Wenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum to explore the mechanism of Wenfei Huaxian decoction in delaying the senescence of LMSCs through the nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase/silent information regulator 1 （NAMPT/SIRT1） signaling pathway. MethodWenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum was prepared. LMSCs were isolated by gradient density centrifugation， and they were cultured and identified in vitro. The senescence model in vitro was established by stimulating cells via D-gal for 24 h. LMSCs cells were modeled after being treated with different volume fractions （5%， 10%， 20%， 40%， and 80%） of Wenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum for 24 h， and the cell proliferation level was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） method. The cells were randomly divided into blank serum group， model group， and high， medium， and low dose groups of Wenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase （SA-β-gal） staining was used to detect the senescence of LMSCs in each group. The content of NAD + was detected by colorimetry. The levels of senescence-associated factors （p16 and p53）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in cell culture supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was used to detect the relative expression of senescence-associated proteins and NAMPT/SIRT1 signaling pathway-related proteins. ResultCompared with the blank serum group， the proliferation of LMSCs was significantly inhibited after D-gal stimulation for 24 h （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the proliferation of LMSCs could be promoted after intervention with the corresponding Wenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the blank serum group， the SA-β-gal staining of LMSCs in the model group after D-gal stimulation was enhanced， and the content of NAD⁺ was increased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of senescence factors p16 and p53， as well as SASP pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in the cell culture supernatant， were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expression of senescence-associated proteins p16， p21， and p53 increased （P<0.01）， and the protein expression of NAMPT， SIRT1， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α （PGC-1α）， and forkhead box family transcription factor O1 （FoxO1） decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the SA-β-gal staining of LMSCs in each group of Wenfei Huaxian decoction-containing serum was significantly reduced， and the content of NAD⁺ was decreased （P<0.01）. The senescence factors （p16 and p53） and inflammatory factors （IL-6 and TNF-α） in the cell culture supernatant were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The expression of senescence-associated proteins （P16， P21， and P53） decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The protein expressions of NAMPT， SIRT1， PGC-1α， and FoxO1 were significantly up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWenfei Huaxian decoction can alleviate senescence and inflammatory response damage of D-gal-induced LMSCs， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the NAMPT/SIRT1 signaling pathway.
