ABSTRACT: Background
Endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is an active player and treatment target in inflammatory-related vascular leakage. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs) are promising potential treatments for leakage; however, the therapeutic effect and mechanism of bMSC on EG degradation needs to be elucidated.Methods
EG degradation and leakage were evaluated in both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mice ear vascular leakage model and LPS-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) model treated with bMSCs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were extracted from bMSCs and the containing microRNA profile was analyzed. EV and miR let-7-5p were inhibited to determine their function in the therapeutic process. The ABL2 gene was knockdown in HUVECs to verify its role as a therapeutic target in EG degradation.Results
bMSCs treatment could alleviate LPS-induced EG degradation and leakage in vivo and in vitro, whereas EVs/let-7-5p-deficient bMSCs were insufficient to reduce EG degradation. LPS down-regulated the expression of let-7-5p while upregulated endothelial expression of ABL2 in HUVECs and induced EG degradation and leakage. bMSC-EVs uptaken by HUVECs could deliver let-7-5p targeting endothelial ABL2, which suppressed the activation of downstream p38MAPK and IL-6, IL-1β levels, and thus reversed LPS-induced EG degradation and leakage.Conclusion
bMCSs alleviate LPS-induced EG degradation and leakage through EV delivery of miR let-7-5p targeting endothelial ABL2.
