Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Edaravone as an antioxidant protective effect on nerve cells injured by hydrogen peroxide has been confirmed, but its protective effect on oxidative damage to bone marrow stromal cells has not been reported in-depth.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulatory effects of edaravone on oxidative injury to bone marrow stromal cells.
METHODS: Bone marrow samples were extracted from the long bone of New Zealand rabbits by the method of washing the pulp cavity, then subjected to the density gradient centrifugation and adherent screening to obtain bone marrow stromal stem cells in vitro. The bone marrow stromal cells at 3 passage were divided into five groups: blank group, treated with low-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody; dexamethasone group, treated with cell culture medium containing 1×10-7 mol/L dexamethasone; 50, 100, 300 mg/L edaravone groups, cultured in cell culture medium containing 1×10-7 mol/L dexamethasone and 50, 100, 300 mg/L edaravone, respectively. After culture, MTT method and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferative level and cell cycle of cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control and dexamethasone groups, edaravone significantly enhanced the cell proliferation. Edaravone played a protective role in bone marrow stromal cells. When the concentration was 50 mg/L, edaravone began to play a regulatory role (P < 0.05), and this effect was certainly associated with the concentration of edaravone. When the concentration was up to 100 mg/L, edaravone showed a better protective role
(P < 0.01). However, with increasing concentration, this protective effect was not further increased, but decreased slightly. Results indicated that high-concentration dexamethasone can induce oxidative injury to bone marrow stromal cells, and edaravone can protect the cells against this oxidative damage by antioxidant role.
