Objective To explore the protective effects of adipose - derived stem cells (ADSCs) with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition by lentivirus-mediated stable gene silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury in vitro. Methods To isolate cultivate and indentify ADSCs from rats. Lentiviral expression vector of carrying PDE5 shRNA gene was transfected into ADSCs, and a negative control group was set up.Western blotting was used to detect PDE5 protein expression levels. ADSCs were co-cultured with NRK-52E in a transwell system, and NRK-52E cells were treated with ischemia/reoxygenation protocol. Edu assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of NRK cells, flow cytometry to detect the apoptosis of NRK cells, and ELISA to quantify the protein expressions of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). The expression of E - cadherin and cytokeratin 18 (CK18) was quantified by real time PCR and flow cytometry. Results Western blotting for PDE5 protein indicated a significant reduction of PDE5 protein levels in PDE5 shRNA transduced population. After the treatment of ischemia/reoxygenation in vitro, the proliferative viability and apoptosis of NRK-52E cells co-cultured with ADSCs induced by PDE5 gene inhibition were significantly improved, compared to the normal group (all P<0.05). And the release of HGF, FGF were markedly enhanced (all P<0.05). Moreover, the NRK-52E cells survival, the expression of E-cadherin and CK18 on PDE5 inhibited ADSCs co-cultured with I/R injured NRK cells was significantly increased compared to that in the negative control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion ADSCs preconditioned by inhibition of PDE5 can be a powerful novel approach to improve the survival of renal tubular cells following ischemia-reperfusion injury, and have an obvious tendency to transform epithelial cells.

Objective To determine the inhibitory effect of a synthetic hexa-peptide GGWSHW (G peptide) derived from thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) on TGF-? activation induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) in cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Human proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2) was cultured in vitro, untreated HK-2 cells were acted as normal control group. HK-2 cells were then stimulated by Ang Ⅱ for 1-24 hours (Ang Ⅱ stimulation group),so that optimal dosage and duration could be chosen.One hour prior to induction,HK-2 cells were pretreated with 10 ?mol/L peptide G (G peptide treated group)or losartan (losartan treated group), the blocker of I type receptor of Ang Ⅱ was acted as inhibitory control.The mRNA and protein levels of TSP1,TGF-?1,FN and PAI-1 were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were performed to detect the presence of TSP1, TGF-?1 and co-positive expression of two protein, respectively.The concentrations of total and active TGF-?1 as well as FN and PAI-1 in cell culture supematants were measured by ELISA. Additionally, the expression of Smad2 and p-Smad2 was also examined for the bioactivity of TGF-?1 signaling protein. Results Ang Ⅱ enhanced the expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1 in a temporal-spatial dependent manner. The optimal dosage and duration were 1 ?mol/L and 6 hours,for TSP1,and 0.1 ?mol/L and 12 hours for TGF-?1 respectively.Comparing with untreated HK-2,the co-expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1 induced by A Ⅱ showed a increase of 5.4 folds.In addition,the protein level of p-Smad2 was elevated remarkedly, the mRNA level of FN and PAI-1 was up-regulated by 3 and 1.5 folds, and the concentration was increased by 2.0 and 1.9 folds respectively. Peptide G had less effect on the expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1,whereas it significantly reduced the secretion of active TGF-?1,though total level of TGF-?1 remained up-regulated. Furthermore,comparing with losartan treated group, p-Smad2 expression was reduced by 28.9%, the mRNA level of FN and PAI-1 was decreased by 34.5% and 26% respectively,and the protein levels were reduced by 11.0% and 8.9% respectively. Conclusion The inhibitory peptide derived from TSP1 effectively suppresses TGF-?1 activation through a competitive mechanism and also reduces the secretion of FN and PAI-1 associated with fibrosis.
