PG - 111445 LID - S0303-7207(21)00289-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.mce.2021.111445 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: alpha-cell dysregulation gives rise to fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Administration of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or their conditioned medium can improve islet function and enhance insulin secretion. However, studies showing the direct effect of MSCs on islet alpha-cell dysfunction are limited. METHODS: In this study, we used high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mice and alpha-cell line exposure to palmitate (PA) to determine the effects of bone marrow-derived MSC-conditioned medium (bmMSC-CM) on glucagon secretion. Plasma and supernatant glucagon were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). To investigate the potential signaling pathways, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), AKT and phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT) were assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS: In vivo, bmMSC-CM infusion improved the glucose and insulin tolerance and protected against HFD-induced hyperglycemia and hyperglucagonemia. Meanwhile, bmMSC-CM infusion ameliorated HFD-induced islet hypertrophy and decreased alpha- and beta-cell area. Consistently, in vitro, glucagon secretion from alpha-cells or primary islets was inhibited by bmMSC-CM, accompanied by reduction of intracellular PTEN expression and restoration of AKT signaling. Previous studies and the TargetScan database indicate that miR-181a and its target PTEN play vital roles in ameliorating alpha-cell dysfunction. We observed that miR-181a-5p was highly expressed in BM-MSCs but prominently lower in alphaTC1-6 cells. Overexpression or downregulation of miR-181a-5p respectively alleviated or aggravated glucagon secretion in alphaTC1-6 cells via the PTEN/AKT signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations suggest that MSC-derived miR-181a-5p mitigates glucagon secretion of alpha-cells by regulating PTEN/AKT signaling, which provides novel evidence demonstrating the potential for MSCs in treating T2DM.
