PG - 948-51 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment on endotoxin tolerance of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and its possible mechanism. METHODS: hUCMSCs (1x10(4) cells/well) were exposed to 0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0 microg/ml LPS for 24 h respectively. And the cell viability of hUCMSCs was detected by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). 1 microg/ml and 50.0 microg/ml LPS were used as pretreatment and apoptosis induction concentrations respectively. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (20 micromol/L, pretreatment for 20 min) was used as a specific inhibitor of nuclear transcription factor NF-kappaB. hUCMSCs were randomly divided by Stata software into 7 groups: control (A), LPS induction (B), pretreatment + LPS induction (C), PDTC (D), PDTC+ pretreatment + LPS induction (E), pretreatment (F) and PDTC + pretreatment (G). The apoptosis of hUCMSCs was measured by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry (FCM). The expressions of NF-kappaB p65 and cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) were measured by Western blot. RESULTS: The cell viability of 0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0 microg/ml LPS groups were 100%, (117.0 +/- 8.8)%, (134.7 +/- 6.9)%, (105.3 +/- 8.3)%, (99.2 +/- 8.3)%, (84.2 +/- 9.3)%, (66.4 +/- 6.6)% and (59.2 +/- 8.0)% respectively. In comparison with 0 microg/ml LPS group, the cell viability of 1.0 microg/ml LPS group increased significantly (P = 0.004) while decreased in 40 and 50 microg/ml LPS groups (P = 0.005, 0.002). Hoechst 33258 staining indicated that chromatin of hUCMSCs was distributed evenly in group A; the apoptotic cell in group B dramatically increased; and the apoptotic cell in group C significantly decreased in comparison with that in group B. Apoptotic rates of groups A, B, C, D and E were (2.8 +/- 0.8)%, (29.7 +/- 3.4)%, (17.8 +/- 3.0)%, (2.9 +/- 0.4)% and (23.2 +/- 2.6)% respectively. Compared with group A, apoptosis rate significantly increased in group B (P < 0.001). The apoptotic rate in group C significantly decreased than that in group B (P < 0.001) while group E was higher than group C (P = 0.015). The levels of NF-kappaB p65 and c-FLIP in group F (0.851 +/- 0.031, 0.534 +/- 0.053) was higher than that in group A (0.220 +/- 0.021, 0.049 +/- 0.009) (both P < 0.001), G (0.418 +/- 0.007, 0.299 +/- 0.061) (P < 0.001, P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: LPS pretreatment can resist LPS-induced hUCMSCs apoptosis and enhance the ability of endotoxin tolerance. And the mechanism may be related with activating the NF-kappaB signaling pathway and up-regulating the expression of c-FLIP.
