摘要:

文题释义:

鹿茸干细胞:鹿茸是目前发现的唯一在失去后还能够周期性完全再生的哺乳动物器官;在快速生长期,鹿茸的生长速度可达2.75 cm/d,研究发现是鹿茸尖部的间充质细胞快速分裂导致了鹿茸超速生长。作者所在团队前期研究发现,鹿茸间充质细胞兼具胚胎干细胞和成体干细胞双重属性,所以定义其为鹿茸干细胞。
外泌体:是指细胞分泌的小膜泡(30-150 nm),其主要来源于细胞内溶酶体微粒内陷形成的多囊泡体,经多囊泡体外膜与细胞膜融合后释放到胞外基质中。外泌体中含有多种蛋白质、miRNA、长链非编码RNA、DNA和脂质体等成分,由于其特殊结构可通过胞吞进入细胞,在细胞间的通讯中发挥着关键作用。

背景:过度的酒精摄入会导致诸多的肝脏疾病,然而目前尚无有效的防治药物。前期研究发现鹿茸干细胞能够显著改善肝纤维化,推测其治疗作用可能是通过旁分泌效应产生的。
目的:研究鹿茸干细胞的主要旁分泌物质——外泌体对小鼠急性肝损伤的预防作用及其机制。
方法:40只C57BL6小鼠随机分为对照组、模型组、骨髓间充质干细胞外泌体预防组、鹿茸干细胞外泌体预防组,每组10只。2个外泌体预防组连续7 d给予相应外泌体进行干预,模型组给予PBS干预,然后给予体积分数为50%的酒精(15 mL/kg)灌胃1次建立急性酒精性肝损伤模型。灌胃后24 h,计算肝指数、检测肝损伤及氧化还原指标、评价肝组织病理病变、检测炎症因子和NF-κB信号通路相关基因的表达水平。

结果与结论:①鹿茸干细胞来源外泌体显著减轻了肝损伤的程度,包括改善体质量、降低血清中谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶水平、改善肝组织病理病变、促进肝实质细胞增殖分裂以及提高抗氧化水平(谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和超氧化物歧化酶水平升高,丙二醛水平降低),且效果强于骨髓间充质干细胞来源外泌体;②进一步研究发现,鹿茸干细胞来源外泌体显著降低了肝组织中白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素6和肿瘤坏死因子α的mRNA表达水平,以及NF-κB信号通路相关基因(p65、p-p65、IKB和p-IKB)的蛋白表达水平;③这说明鹿茸干细胞来源外泌体能够起到保护肝脏的作用,减轻酒精所造成的肝损伤,其作用的发挥可能是通过靶向抑制NF-κB信号通路实现的。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Excessive alcohol intake can lead to many liver diseases, but there is currently no effective drug to prevent it. Previous studies have found that antler stem cells can significantly improve liver fibrosis, and it is speculated that the therapeutic effect may be achieved through paracrine effects.  
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preventive effects of antler stem cell-derived exosomes on acute liver injury in mice and its underlying mechanism.
METHODS: Forty C57BL6 mice were randomly divided into the control, model, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome prevention, and antler stem cell-derived exosome prevention groups (n=10). The prevention groups were intervened with exosomes for 7 consecutive days, and the model group was intervened with PBS, followed by 50% alcohol (15 mL/kg) gavage for modeling of acute alcoholic liver injury. At 24 hours after gavage, liver indexes were calculated; liver injury and redox indexes were detected; the pathological lesions of liver tissues were evaluated and the expression levels of inflammatory factors and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway-related genes were detected.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Antler stem cell-derived exosome significantly reduced liver injury, including increasing body weight, decreasing alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels in serum, improving liver histopathological lesions, promoting proliferation and division of the hepatocytes and increasing antioxidant levels (increasing glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase levels and decreasing malondialdehyde levels). The effects were stronger than those of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes. (2) Further studies revealed that antler stem cell-derived exosome significantly reduced the mRNA expression levels of relevant inflammatory factors (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α) and protein expression levels of nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway-related genes (p65, p-p65, IKB and p-IKB) in liver tissues. (3) Overall, our results suggest that antler stem cell-derived exosomes can play an important role in protecting the liver by reducing the damage caused by alcohol, and its effects may be achieved via targeting the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway.

Key words: antler stem cell, exosome, alcoholic liver injury, inflammation, nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway
