Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the therapeutic effects of ADSC-Exos for SS-induced skin injury.
Methods: A mouse model of SS was constructed and Exos from ADSCs (Exos) and hypoxia-pretreated ADSCs (HExos) were isolated. The therapeutic effects of Exos were identified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was employed to identify differentially expressed genes between ADSC-Exos and ADSC-HExos. The results showed that treatment with ADSC-Exos, especially ADSC-HExos, inhibited SS-induced expression of inflammatory factors, ferroptosis, and deposition of reactive oxygen species.
Results: The results of HTS and polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that GLRX2 plays an important role in protected effects of ADSC-HExo against SS-induced skin injury. In vitro analysis usingHaCaT cells confirmed that GLRX2 inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced skin injury by inhibiting ferroptosis, as confirmed with the ferroptosis inhibitorFerrostatin-1. GLRX2 upregulation increased the therapeutic effects of ADSC-Exos against skin injury of SS mice.
Conclusion: Moreover,ADSC-HExos effectively promoted collagen I expression, suggesting that ADSC-HExos attenuated primary SS-induced skin injury via GLRX2 delivery and ferroptosis suppression.
