  • Effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase 3 on mitochondrial function and anti-oxidative stress of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via regulating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide levels

    ObjectiveTo 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.MethodsThe 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.ResultsThe 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).ConclusionNMNAT3 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.

  • Effect of LOC103693069 on hypoxic apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of LOC103693069 on hypoxic apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods BMSCs from 1-week-old Sprague Dawley rat bone marrow were isolated, cultured, and passaged by the whole bone marrow adherent culture method. After identification of adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation, the 3rd generation cells were treated with hypoxia under 5%O2, 1%O2, and anaerobic conditions. After 48 hours, the cell viability, apoptosis, and apoptosis-related proteins [hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), Caspase-3, B cell lymphoma/leukemia 2 (Bcl-2)] expressions were detected, and normal BMSCs were used as controls. Based on the research results, the concentration group with the most obvious apoptosis was selected and used for subsequent experiments. After 48 hours of hypoxia treatment, BMSCs were taken and analyzed by gene chip and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) to screen the most significantly down-regulated gene and construct their high-expression, low-expression, and negative control lentiviruses; BMSCs were transfected with the different lentiviruses, respectively. After qRT-PCR detection confirmed that the transfection was successful, the BMSCs were treated with hypoxia for 48 hours to observe the cell viability and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins. ResultsAfter cell viability, apoptosis, and apoptosis-related proteins were detected, cell apoptosis was the most significant under anaerobic conditions after 48 hours. The above indicators were significantly different from other groups (P<0.05), and this group was used for treatment conditions for subsequent experiments. Gene chip analysis showed that after 48 hours of hypoxia treatment, AC125847.1, LOC102547753, AABR07017208.2, and LOC103693069 were significantly down-regulated in BMSCs, and the expressions of LOC103693069 was the most significant down-regulation detected by qRT-PCR (P<0.05). It was selected to construct lentivirus and transfect BMSCs. Afterwards, qRT-PCR detection showed the successful transfection into the cells. After hypoxia treatment, the apoptosis rate and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins of BMSCs overexpressed by the gene were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion LOC103693069 can relieve the hypoxic apoptosis of BMSCs.
