Objective To investigate the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenosyl transferase 3 (NMNAT3) on the mitochondrial function and anti-oxidative stress of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under oxidative stress in vitro by regulating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels.Methods The bone marrow of femur and tibia of New Zealand white rabbits were extracted. BMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent culture. The third generation cells were identified by flow cytometry and multi-directional induction. Overexpression of NMNAT3 gene was transfected into rabbit BMSCs by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) labeled lentivirus (BMSCs/Lv-NMNAT3-EGFP), and then the expression of NMNAT3 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot and cell proliferation by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method. BMSCs transfected with negative lentivirus (BMSCs/Lv-EGFP) and untransfected BMSCs were used as controls. The oxidative stress injury cell model was established by using H2O2 to treat rabbit BMSCs. According to the experimental treatment conditions, they were divided into 4 groups: Group A was normal BMSCs without H2O2 treatment; untransfected BMSCs, BMSCs/Lv-EGFP, and BMSCs/Lv-NMNAT3-EGFP in groups B, C, and D were treated with H2O2 simulated oxidative stress, respectively. The effects of NMNAT3 on the mitochondrial function of BMSCs under oxidative stress [changes of mitochondrial membrane potential, NAD+ and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels], the changes of anti-oxidative stress ability of BMSCs [reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities], and the effects of BMSCs on senescence and apoptosis [senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining and TUNEL staining] were detected after 24 hours of treatment.Results The rabbit BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured in vitro. The stable strain of rabbit BMSCs with high expression of NMNAT3 gene was successfully obtained by lentiviral transfection, and the expressions of NMNAT3 gene and protein significantly increased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the trend of cell proliferation compared with normal BMSCs. After treatment with H2O2, the function of mitochondria was damaged and apoptosis increased in all groups. However, compared with groups B and C, the group D showed that the mitochondrial function of BMSCs improved, the membrane potential increased, the level of NAD+ and ATP synthesis of mitochondria increased; the anti-oxidative stress ability of BMSCs enhanced, the levels of ROS and MDA decreased, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (Mn-SOD, CAT) increased; and the proportion of SA-β-gal positive cells and the rate of apoptosis decreased. The differences in all indicators between group D and groups B and C were significant (P<0.05).Conclusion NMNAT3 can effectively improve the mitochondrial function of rabbit BMSCs via increasing the NAD+ levels, and enhance its anti-oxidative stress and improve the survival of BMSCs under oxidative stress conditions.
