Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into diverse cell types, including cardiomyocytes. BmMSC-based transplantation is capable of repairing acute and chronic myocardial infarction. Prior to the transplantation, MSCs are usually induced in vitro by biological reagents and chemicals for directional differentiation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is one of the most commonly used biological reagents for induction of cardiomyocyte differentiation of bmMSCs. Previous studies have shown that TGF-β induces senescence in several cell types. However, whether TGF-β affects senescence of bmMSCs has not been elucidated. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of TGF-β1 on senescence of bmMSCs and the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS: We found that TGF-β1 increased activity of senescence-associated-galactosidase (SA-Gal) and production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in bmMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. TGF-β1 also significantly decreased expression of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and Id1, and increased expression of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) subunits and p16 in bmMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with mtROS inhibitor acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR, 0.1 mM) significantly inhibited TGF-β1-induced mtROS production and SA-Gal activity. CONCLUSION: TGF-β1 can induce senescence of bmMSCs, which at least partially depends on mtROS production.

Figures

Figure 1 Identification of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs). Immunofluorescence assay shows that bmMSCs positively express MSC markers CD44 and CD90. Immunochemistry staining shows that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is positively expressed in bmMSCs following 3 weeks of osteogenic differntiation culture. Oil Red O staining displays that lipid droplets are accumulated in a part of bmMSCs following 3 weeks of adipogenic differentiation culture.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
