Abstract:

 

BACKGROUND: With the economic development, people have an increasing pursuit of beauty, and anti-aging research has become a hot research topic. Stem cells have self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation ability, and mesenchymal stem cells are one of them. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells can repair aging cells through paracrine action, but little has been reported on the anti-aging effects of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media from different sources.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the anti-aging effects of human adipose-, amniotic fluid-, placenta- and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media on aging skin fibroblasts. 
METHODS: Human adipose, amniotic fluid, placenta and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media were prepared and used to culture aging skin fibroblasts. Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 and cell senescence rate measured by β-galactosidase staining kit. DCFH-DA probe was used to detect the content of reactive oxygen species. qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of p16, p53, COL1 and KLOTHO genes. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Four sources of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media could increase the cell viability of skin fibroblasts, among which the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium had the best effect and the lowest β-galactosidase staining rate. (2) Four sources of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media could reduce reactive oxygen species content, and adipose- and amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media had the lowest content of reactive oxygen species. (3) p16 and p53 levels in the placenta and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media were higher than those in the control group. The expression of p53 in the amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium was lower than that in the control group, but there was no difference in the p16 expression between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the expression of p16 was lower and the expression of p53 was higher in the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium. (4) Compared with the control group, the expression of COL1 gene was significantly higher in the different culture media except for the amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium. Compared with the control group, the expression of KLOTHO was significantly higher in different culture media except for placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium, and highest in the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium. To conclude, mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media from four different sources can delay cell senescence to a certain extent, though its mechanism remains to be further studied.
