Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The stem cell conditioned medium contains a large number of cell secretory factors contributing to wound repair. Liposome encapsulation facilitates the sustained release of cytokines at the wound site. 
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of liposomes prepared from the conditioned medium of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on the healing of skin wounds in rats. 
METHODS: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured by tissue explant method, and cytokine detection was then performed. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Shanxi Medical University in China to make skin wound models of 1 cm in diameter. Membrane dispersion technique was used to prepare the conditioned medium liposomal vesicles used for skin wounds in the rats. The skin and surrounding tissues of the repair site were taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining. The histological scores were used to judge the repair of wounds. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were positive for CD73 (99.7%), CD90 (95.7%), CD105 (99.4%), CD45 (1.1%) and CD34 (0.1%). The cells could be induced to differentiate into osteocytes and adipocytes. (2) The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 in the conditioned medium were 558.60 ng/L, 5 236.48 ng/L, and 2 972.55 ng/L, respectively. (3) The average particle size of liposome in the conditioned medium prepared by membrane dispersion method was 262.3 nm. Conditional culture of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and its liposome could increase the hair follicles and glands at the site of rat skin defects, the epidermis was thickened, and the histological score was markedly increased. There was no difference between the conditioned medium and conditioned medium liposome groups at 2 days of culture (P=0.730), but significant differences existed among the other groups (P < 0.05). To conclude, the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium and its liposomes can promote the repair of skin defects in rats.
