RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major clinical problem associated with acute kidney injury during hospitalization. However, effective treatments for CIN are currently lacking. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have protective effects against kidney injury by suppressing inflammation and fibrosis. We previously showed that MSCs cultured in serum-free medium (SF-MSCs) enhance their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. However, whether SF-MSCs potentiate their anti-apoptotic effects is unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of SF-MSCs on a CIN mouse model. METHODS: To create CIN model mice, we removed right kidney at first. One week later, the left renal artery was clamped for 30 min to cause ischemia-reperfusion injury, and mice were injected with iohexol. Then the kidney received 10 Gy of irradiation, and MSCs or SF-MSCs were injected immediately. At 24 h post-injection, mice were sacrificed, and their blood and kidneys were collected to evaluate renal function, DNA damage, and apoptosis. In addition, apoptosis was induced in HEK-293 cells by irradiation and cells were treated with conditioned medium from MSCs or SF-MSCs. RESULTS: Treatment of CIN model mice with SF-MSCs markedly improved renal function compared with MSCs treatment. Cleaved caspase-3 levels and TUNEL-positive cell numbers were strongly suppressed in CIN model mice treated with SF-MSCs compared with the findings in those treated with MSCs. γH2AX levels, a chromosome damage marker, were reduced by MSCs and further reduced by SF-MSCs. In addition, cleaved caspase-3 in irradiated HEK-293 cells was more strongly suppressed by conditioned medium from SF-MSCs than by that from MSCs. Secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF) was enhanced by culturing MSCs in serum-free medium. Knockdown of EGF by siRNA attenuated the inhibitory effects of SF-MSCs on CIN-induced renal dysfunction and tubular apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: These findings strongly suggest that SF-MSCs improve CIN in model mice by exerting anti-apoptotic effects in a paracrine manner. Thus, SF-MSCs represent a potential novel therapy for CIN.
