Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is not fully understood that whether p53 inhibitor can directly intervene in the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the possible mechanism.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of p53 inhibitor, PFT-α, on the aging process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in late-phase amplification and to discover the key target to delay the replicative senescence of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: The expression levels of p53, p21, and p15 mRNA in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in both early and late-phase amplification were detected by quantitative PCR assay. Then, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in late-phase amplification were respectively treated with 20 µmol/L PFT-α or an equivalent amount of dimethyl sulfoxide for 2 weeks. The positive rate of aging cells was determined by SA-β-Gal staining. The apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were treated with 300 µmol/L H2O2 for 30 minutes, and then cellular anti-oxidative stress capacity was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The quantitative PCR assay showed that the mRNA expression level of p15, 
p21 and p53 in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in late-phase amplification was significantly increased (1.45±0.23), (1.51±0.14) and (1.78±0.14) times as much as that in early phase amplification (P < 0.05). The positive rate of aging cells in PFT-α group was significantly lower than that in the dimethyl sulfoxide group [(41±5)% vs. (63±7)%, P < 0.05)]. However, there was no significant difference in apoptosis rate between PFT-α group and dimethyl sulfoxide group. After treatment with H2O2, the absorbance value in the PFT-α group was (1.27±0.13) times as much as that in the dimethyl sulfoxide group (P < 0.001). The above results demonstrate that the activation of p53 signaling pathway may be an important factor of causing aging of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Application of p53 inhibitor PFT-α can enhance the anti-oxidative stress capacity of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in late phrase amplification.
