Abstract:
Objective:To investigate effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(hUCMSCs-Exo)on bisphenol AF(BPAF)-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory factor release from endometrial stromal cells(hESCs).Methods:hESCs were divided into Control group,BPAF group(25 μmol/L BPAF treatment),BPAF+Exo group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo treatment),BPAF+Exo+LY group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo+10 μmol/L LY294002 treatment).Cell prolifera-tion was detected by MTT assay;apoptosis,intracellular ROS level,and mitochondrial membrane potential level were detected by flow cytometry;protein expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,Cleaved-caspase-3 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by Western blot;mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β were detected by RT-qPCR.Results:Compared with Control group,hESCs survival rate was gradually decreased(P<0.01),apoptosis rate was gradually increased with the increased concentration of BPAF(≥25 μmol/L).Compared with Control group,BPAF group showed increased ROS level,decreased mitochondrial membrane potential level,increased Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expressions,and decreased Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein expressions.Compared with BPAF group,cell survival rate of BPAF+Exo group was increased(P<0.01),ROS level decreased,mitochondrial membrane potential level increased,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 proteins decreased,and expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT increased.Compared with BPAF+Exo group,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein in cells of BPAF+Exo+LY group were increased,while expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein were decreased.Expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA were significantly up-regulated in BPAF group compared with Control group(P<0.01),and expressions of inflammatory factors mRNA were significantly down-regulated in BPAF+Exo group compared with BPAF group(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:BPAF(≥25 μmol/L)inhibits proliferation of hESCs and promoted apoptosis.hUCMSCs-Exo inhibits BPAF-induced oxidative dam-age and inflammatory factors expressions in hESCs through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
