Abstract
Aging is a critical biological process, with particularly notable impacts on the kidneys. Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are capable of transferring various bioactive molecules, which exhibit beneficial therapeutic effects on kidney diseases. This study demonstrates that exosomes derived from hUC-MSCs ameliorate cellular senescence in the kidneys of naturally aging mice. These exosomes reduce the protein expression of senescence markers and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP) leading to fewer DNA damage foci and increased expression of the proliferation indicator Ki67. During the aging process, many proteins undergo phosphorylation modifications. We utilized data-independent acquisition (DIA) phosphoproteomics to study kidneys of naturally aging mice and those treated with hUC-MSC-derived exosomes. We observed elevated phosphorylation levels of the differentially phosphorylated proteins, Lamin A/C, at Ser390 and Ser392 sites, which were subsequently verified by western blotting. Overall, this study provides a new molecular characterization of hUC-MSC-derived exosomes in mitigating cellular senescence in the kidneys.
Significance
DIA phosphoproteomics was employed to investigate phosphorylated proteins in the kidney tissues of naturally aging mice with hUCMSC-exos treated. The results demonstrated that the DIA technique detected a higher abundance of phosphorylated proteins. We identified 24 significantly differentially phosphorylated proteins, and found that the phosphorylation of specific Lamin A/C sites is crucial for preventing cellular senescence. This study will help to better reveal the related phosphorylated proteins involved in hUCMSC-exos intervention in the kidneys of naturally aging mice, providing a foundation for future research on specific phosphorylation sites of proteins as potential therapeutic targets for renal aging-related diseases.
