Abstract (original English)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of conditioned medium derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (CM-hADSCs) on C28I2 chondrocytes against oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis induced by high glucose (HG). Methods: C28I2 cells were pre-treated with CM-hADSCs for 24 hours followed by HG exposure (75 mM) for 48 hours. MTT assay was used to assess the cell viability. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation were determined by 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFHDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays, respectively. Expressions of glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX 3), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 ( NQO1 ) were analyzed by RT-PCR. Finally, western blot analysis was used to measure Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3, and Nrf-2 expression at protein levels. Results: CM-hADSCs pretreatment mitigated the cytotoxic effect of HG on C28I2 viability. Treatment also markedly reduced the levels of ROS, lipid peroxidation, and augmented the expression of HO-1, NQO1, and GPx3 genes in HG-exposed group. CM-ADSCs enhanced Nrf-2 protein expression and reduced mitochondrial apoptosis through reducing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and Caspase-3 activation. Conclusion: MSCs, probably through its paracrine effects, declined the deleterious effect of HG on chondrocytes. Hence, therapies based on MSCs secr
