ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived exosome (iPSC-Exo) on releasing inflammatory factors from microglia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods:iPSC derived from the tubular epithelial cells of sepsis encephalopathy patients were resuscitated and cultured. The iPSC-Exo was isolated by low-temperature ultracentrifugation and analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, Western blot and high sensitivity flow cytometry (HSFCM). Based on the concentration of iPSC-Exo, human microglia line HMO6 cells activated by LPS (100 ng/mL) were divided into four groups randomly: LPS+ phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, LPS+iPSC-Exo 10 5 group, LPS+iPSC-Exo 10 6 group and LPS+iPSC-Exo 10 7 group. The control group was added equal PBS but not LPS. After culture for 24 h, the concentrations of malondialdehyde in cells were detected. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in the cells and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the concentration of these cytokines in the supernatant. Under the same concentration of iPSC-Exo, one-way ANOVA and SNK- q test were used for comparison between groups. Results:The extracts showed spherical membrane structure by transmission electron microscopy. HSFCM showed the mean diameter of the extracts was (74.66±15.60) nm and the concentration around 2.98×10 10/mL. Western blot analysis showed high expression of exosome markers CD63, Alix and TSG101, but not GM130. Intracellular MDA concentration and mRNA expression levels and protein concentration of MIP2, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the LPS+PBS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01). With the increase of iPSC-Exo concentration, the intracellular MDA concentration decreased gradually ( P<0.01), the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors showed a gradual downward trend (all P<0.05). Each inflammatory cytokine in the supernatant declined in a manner that was almost consistent with mRNA. Concentrations of MDA remained constant in the control group. Conclusions:iPSC-Exo derived from the tubular epithelial cells of sepsis encephalopathy patients alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation effect of microglia induced by LPS, and the modulatory effect is dose-dependent.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the incidence of hemolytic disease in newborn (HDN)among the newborns with jaundice and the coincidence degree of the blood group serological results and the clinical diagnosis in HDN.Methods The microcolumn gel method was adopted to detect the 3 serological indexes in 276 jaundice newborns of maternal fetal blood group incompatibility,in-cluding the direct antiglobulin test,free antibody test and antibody release test.Results 108 cases of HDN were clinically diagnosed with the positive rate of 39.13%.The positive detection rate in newborns with 0-2 d old was highest(50.00%).Conclusion The serological test can provide the basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of HDN.Collecting the specimen as early as possible can improve the positive diagnosis rate of HDN.
