Abstract

Objective To observe the apoptosis of injured adult rats myocardial cells induced by ischemia and hypoxia in vitro and the biological functions of the exosomes from marrow-derived cardiac stem cells (MCSCs-exosomes).Methods Cultured adult rats myocardial cells were divided into the control group,the ischemia-hypoxia group and the MCSCs-exosomes pretreated group. In vitro,we counted the cells and detected the expression of Bcl-2,bax by Western Blotting.The cell cycles and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the control group,the model group showed lower cell counts(P<0.01) and higher apoptosis ratio. We also observed that the expression of Bcl-2 / bax was decreased(P<0.01) and the cell cycle was blocked at S phase.Compared with the ischemia-hypoxia group,MCSCs-exosomes pretreated groups showed apparent tolerance to ischemic and hypoxic injury in vitro,which manifested a higher cell viability,lower apoptosis ratio,increased expression of Bcl-2/bax and relief of the block of S phase( all P<0.05). Conclusions    Ischemia and hypoxia could cause the apoptosis of cells in vitro.MCSCs-exosomes exhibited anti-apoptosis ability in vitro.All these may provide experimental evidences for the mechanisms of MCSCs-exosomes in therapy of tissue injury.
