Neuroprotection of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSCs) in Alleviating Ischemic Stroke-Induced Brain Injury by Regulating Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Brain injury caused by stroke has a high rate of mortality and remains a major medical challenge worldwide. In recent years, there has been significant attention given to the use of human Umbilical cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSCs) for the treatment of stroke in different adult and neonate animal models of stroke. However, using hUC-MSCs by systemic administration to treat ischemic stroke has not been investigated sufficiently. In this study, we conducted various experiments to explore the neuroprotection of hUC-MSCs in rats. Our findings demonstrate that an intravenous injection of a high dose of hUC-MSCs at 2 × 10^7 cells/kg markedly ameliorated brain injury resulting from ischemic stroke. This improvement was observed one day after inducing transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and subsequent reperfusion in rats. Notably, the efficacy of this single administration of hUC-MSCs surpassed that of edaravone, even when the latter was used continuously over three days. Mechanistically, secretory factors derived from hUC-MSCs, such as HGF, BDNF, and TNFR1, ameliorated the levels of MDA and T-SOD to regulate oxidative stress. In particular, TNFR1 also improved the expression of NQO-1 and HO-1, important proteins associated with oxidative stress. More importantly, TNFR1 played a significant role in reducing inflammation by modulating IL-6 levels in the blood. Furthermore, TNFR1 was observed to influence the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) as demonstrated in the evan’s blue experiment and protein expression of ZO-1. This study represented a breakthrough in traditional methods and provided a novel strategy for clinical medication and trials.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Research is devoted to the rapid publication of studies that use neurochemical methodology in research on nervous system structure and function. The journal publishes original reports of experimental and clinical research results, perceptive reviews of significant problem areas in the neurosciences, brief comments of a methodological or interpretive nature, and research summaries conducted by leading scientists whose works are not readily available in English.
