MicroRNA expression in hepatocytes with hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress-injury and alleviating effect of mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the changes of microRNA (miRNA) in hepatocytes during hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress injury, and to observe the alleviating effect of mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) in this progress.METHODS: The hepatocyte oxidative stress injury model was established using hydrogen peroxide and human normal liver cell line L02.MSC-CM was prepared using centrifugation and filter.The effects of MSC-CM on hepatocyte injury were evaluated by apoptosis analysis, cell viability detection, cell cycle, and mitochondrial membrane po-tential (MMP).Twenty-one differentially expressed miRNAs were selected by gene chip hybridization, in which miR-143, miR-145, miR-301a and let-7a were confirmed by RT-qPCR.Bioinformatics software was utilized to predict target proteins of these miRNAs, and then the proteins were verified by Western blot.RESULTS: MSC-CM markedly attenuated hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress injury by reducing apoptosis, promoting cell viability and regulating cell cycle.The ex-pression of miR-143, miR-145, miR-301a and let-7a, indentified by RT-qPCR, increased under the condition of oxidative stress injury, while decreased after MSC-CM treatment.The expression of miR-143 predicted target proteins, HK2 and ADRB1, decreased under the hydrogen peroxide-exposure, while increased after MSC-CM treatment, which is consistent with the regulatory trend of miR-143.CONCLUSION: MSC-CM might attenuate hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress injury via inhibiting apoptosis and regulating some miRNA expression.
