Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the underlying mechanism by which the proliferation and migration abilities of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) determine their therapeutic efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
Methods: The DBA/1J mice were utilized to establish a collagen-induced RA (CIA) mouse model and to validate the therapeutic efficacy of hUC-MSCs transfected with CD151 siRNA. RNA-seq, QT-PCR and western blotting were utilized to evaluate the mRNA and protein levels of the PI3K/AKT pathway, respectively.
Results: IFN-γ significantly enhanced the proliferation and migration abilities of hUC-MSCs, up-regulating the expression of CD151, a gene related to cell proliferation and migration. Effective inhibition of this effect was achieved through CD151 siRNA treatment. However, IFN-γ did not affect hUC-MSCs differentiation or changes in cell surface markers. Additionally, transplantation of CD151-interfered hUC-MSCs (siRNA-CD151-hUC-MSCs) resulted in decreased colonization in the toes of CIA mice and worse therapeutic effects compared to empty vector treatment (siRNA-NC-hUC-MSCs).
Conclusion: IFN-γ facilitates the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs through the CD151/PI3K/AKT pathway. The therapeutic efficacy of siRNA-CD151-hUC-MSCs was found to be inferior to that of siRNA-NC-hUC-MSCs.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
