ABSTRACT

Objective To observe whether dermal multipotent stem cells (dMSCs) treated with platelet-derived growth factor-AA ( PDGF-AA )could distribute more frequently to the bone marrow in rats of total body irradiation (TBI).Methods Male dMSCs were isolated and 10 μg/L PDGF-AA was added to the culture medium and further cultured for 2 h.Then the expression of tenascin-C were examined by Western blot, and the migration ability of dMSCs was assessed in transwell chamber.The pre-treated dMSCs were transplanted by tail vein injection into female rats administered with total body irradiation, and 2 weeks after transplantation, real-time PCR was employed to measure the amount of dMSCs in bone marrow.Non-treated dMSCs served as control.Results PDGF-AA treatment increased the expression of tenascin-C in dMSCs, made (1.79 ± 0.13) × 105 cells migrate to the lower chamber under the effect of bone marrow extract, and distributed to bone marrow in TBI rats, significantly more than ( 1.24 ± 0.09) ×105 in non-treated dMSCs (t = 8.833, P < 0.0l ).Conclusions PDGF-AA treatment could enhance the migration ability of dMSCs and increase the amount of dMSCs in bone marrow of TBI rats after transplantation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to find out the activity of autoproliferation of ratfibroblast exposed to crystalline silica and the role of mediators secreted from rat fibroblast. METHODS: The effect of alpha-quartz on production of growth factor (platelet-derived growth factor-AA and transforming growth factor beta)from rat fibroblasts were evaluated by ELISA and immunocytochemical analysis. Gene expression of these growth factors in rat fibrobast exposed to crystalline silica was evaluated by RT-PCR. Furthermore, fibroblast proliferation by culture supernatant of rat fibroblast was assayed by the neutral red test. RESULTS: The amounts of H2O2 and growth factors synthesized in rat fibroblasts were significantly increased by the stimulation of crystalline silica(alpha-quartz), which showed the dose-dependent manner to the concentration of alpha-quartz with the maximum response at the dosage of 100 microgram/cm2. The result of RT-PCR demonstrated that alpha-quartz induced gene expression of PDGF-AA and TGFbeta in rat fibroblast. We also found that supernatant of alpha-quartz-cocultured rat fibroblast induced a significant proliferation of fibroblast. CONCLUSION: Crystalline silica directly induce functional change in fibroblast such as increased release of reactive oxygen species and growth factors. The products of these functional change promote fibroblast proliferation via autocrine loop.
