Conditioned media from dental pulp stem cells improved diabetic polyneuropathy through anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and angiogenic actions: Cell-free regenerative medicine for diabetic polyneuropathy.


ABSTRACT: AIMS/INTRODUCTION:Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can be easily obtained from teeth for general orthodontic reasons. We have previously reported the therapeutic effects of DPSC transplantation for diabetic polyneuropathy. As abundant secretomes from DPSCs are considered to play a central role in the improvement of diabetic polyneuropathy, we investigated whether direct injection of DPSC-conditioned media (DPSC-CM) into hindlimb skeletal muscles ameliorates diabetic polyneuropathy in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS:DPSCs were isolated from the dental pulp of Sprague-Dawley rats. Eight weeks after the induction of diabetes, DPSC-CM was injected into the unilateral hindlimb skeletal muscles in both normal and diabetic rats. The effects of DPSC-CM on diabetic polyneuropathy were assessed 4 weeks after DPSC-CM injection. To confirm the angiogenic effect of DPSC-CM, the effect of DPSC-CM on cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial cell proliferation was investigated. RESULTS:The administration of DPSC-CM into the hindlimb skeletal muscles significantly ameliorated sciatic motor/sensory nerve conduction velocity, sciatic nerve blood flow and intraepidermal nerve fiber density in the footpads of diabetic rats. We also showed that DPSC-CM injection significantly increased the capillary density of the skeletal muscles, and suppressed pro-inflammatory reactions in the sciatic nerves of diabetic rats. Furthermore, an in vitro study showed that DPSC-CM significantly increased the proliferation of umbilical vascular endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS:We showed that DPSC-CM injection into hindlimb skeletal muscles has a therapeutic effect on diabetic polyneuropathy through neuroprotective, angiogenic and anti-inflammatory actions. DPSC-CM could be a novel cell-free regenerative medicine treatment for diabetic polyneuropathy.
