摘要
目的:早发性卵巢功能不全(POI)是一种对医学、心理和生殖都有影响的疾病,但其常见疗法的疗效有限,且可能出现并发症。本研究通过胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)/核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)/血红素加氧酶1(HO-1)/自噬途径,探讨人脐带间充质干细胞衍生的细胞外囊泡(hUC-MSCs-EVs)对POI小鼠的治疗作用。给环磷酰胺(CTX)诱导的 POI 小鼠模型注射 hUC-间充质干细胞-EVs。用CTX诱导小鼠卵巢颗粒细胞(GCs),然后用hUC-MSCs-EVs和ML385处理。观察卵巢组织病理学变化,计算各级卵泡数量的变化,评估血清性激素以及 LC3II/I 和 Beclin-1 的表达。对GCs的增殖、死亡、氧化应激和Nrf2核易位进行检测:结果:暴露于CTX后,小鼠卵巢中的GCs层变薄,各级GCs和卵泡数量减少,血清性激素紊乱,氧化应激和自噬增强,卵巢IGF-1下调;而hUC-间充质干细胞-EVs能上调IGF-1,改善卵巢功能。携带IGF-1的hUC-MSCs-EVs可激活Nrf2/HO-1信号传导,抑制CTX诱导的GCs过度自噬,但抑制Nrf2/HO-1信号传导会部分削弱这种改善作用。结论:hUC-间充质干细胞-EV通过携带IGF-1激活Nrf2/HO-1信号,进而抑制GCs的过度自噬和损伤,从而改善POI小鼠的卵巢功能。
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles harboring IGF-1 improve ovarian function of mice with premature ovarian insufficiency through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
Objective: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a disease with medical, psychological and reproductive implications, but its common therapies have limited efficacy and a likelihood of complications. This study delves into the therapeutic role of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hUC-MSCs-EVs) in POI mice through the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)/nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)/autophagy pathway.
Methods: hUC-MSCs were transfected with lentiviral short hairpin RNA of IGF-1 before EV extraction. Cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced POI mouse models were administrated with hUC-MSCs-EVs. Mouse ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) were induced with CTX, then treated with hUC-MSCs-EVs and ML385. Ovarian histopathological changes were observed, changes in follicle number at all levels were counted and serum sex hormones were evaluated, as well as LC3II/I and Beclin-1 expression. GCs were subject to detection of proliferation, deaths, oxidative stress, and Nrf2 nuclear translocation.
Results: After CTX exposure, mice showed thinner GCs layer in the ovary, reduced number of GCs and follicles at all levels, disturbed serum sex hormones, enhanced oxidative stress and autophagy, and downregulated ovarian IGF-1; whereas, hUC-MSCs-EVs upregulated IGF-1 to improve the ovarian function. hUC-MSCs-EVs carrying IGF-1 activated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling to inhibit CTX-induced excessive autophagy of GCs, but this ameliorative effect was partially weakened by inhibiting Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. hUC-MSCs-EVs inhibited excessive autophagy of GCs and improved ovarian function of CTX-induced mice through IGF-1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
Conclusion: hUC-MSCs-EVs activate the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling by carrying IGF-1, which in turn inhibits excessive autophagy and damage of GCs, thus improving ovarian function in POI mice.

Ovary development, hormone secretion and regulation
Follicle growth and ovulation
Infertility and Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Regulation of pituitary and other biological functions by ovarian hormones
Ovarian cancer, its prevention, diagnosis and treatment
Drug development and screening
Role of stem cells in ovary development and function.
