Effect of Extracellular Vesicles in Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells Injury by Increasing LC3B Expression
Objective:To investigate the protective effect of extracellular vesicles(Evs)in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ADSCs)induced by hypoxic microenvironment on human microvascular endothelial cells injury by increasing the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B(LC3B).Methods:The rat ADSCs were isolated and identified by osteogenic differentiation,lipogenic differentiation and expression of cell surface markers.Normoxic Evs and hypoxic Evs were obtained under normal oxygen(21%O2)and hypoxic oxygen(1%O2)conditions respectively,and identified by the expression of morphology and surface markers.The oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R)model of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells(CMECs)was constructed,and CMECs were divided into Control group,OGD/R group,N-Evs group,hypoxic Evs group(H-EVS group,hypoxic Evs culture for 24 h),hypoxic Evs+autophagy inhibitor group(H-EVS+3-MA group,hypoxic Evs and 3-MA 5 mmol/L culture for 24 h).The proliferation,migration,invasion,angiogenesis and autophagy of CMECs were detected by cell counting kit(CCK-8),5-acetylidene-2-deoxyuracil nucleoside(EdU)staining,scratch test,Transwell test,tubular formation test and transmission electron microscopy.The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),Ki67,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-2/MMP-9,hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),LC3B and recombinant human autophagy effect protein 1(Beclin1)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:Compared with the Control group,the proliferation,migration,invasion,angiogenesis and autophagy of CMECs in the OGD/R group were reduced(P<0.05),and the expressions of PCNA,Ki67,MMP-2/MMP-9,HIF-1α,VEGF,LC3B-Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin1 decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the OGD/R group,the proliferation,migration,invasion,angiogenesis and autophagy of CMECs in the N-Evs group and H-Evs group were enhanced(P<0.05),and the expressions of PCNAKi67,MMP-2/MMP-9,HIF-1α,VEGF,LC3B-Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin1 increased(P<0.05).These indexes of H-Evs group were better than those of N-Evs group(P<0.05).Compared with the H-Evs group,proliferation,migration,invasion,angiogenesis and autophagy of CMECs in the H-Evs+3-MA group reduced(P<0.05),while expressions of PCNA,Ki67,MMP-2/MMP-9,HIF-1α,VEGF,LC3B-Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin1 decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:ADSCs-Evs induced by hypoxic microenvironment could promote proliferation,migration,invasion,angiogenesis and autophagy of OGD/R injured CMECs by increasing LC3B expression.
