LID - 10.1093/jmcb/mjad035 [doi] LID - mjad035 AB - Hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress may disrupt insulin secretion and beta-cell survival in diabetes mellitus by overproducing reactive oxygen species. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) exhibit antioxidant properties. However, the mechanisms by which hUC-MSCs protect beta-cells from high glucose-induced oxidative stress remain underexplored. In this study, we showed that intravenously injected hUC-MSCs engrafted into the injured pancreas and promoted pancreatic beta-cell function in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The in vitro study revealed that hUC-MSCs attenuated high glucose-induced oxidative stress and prevented beta-cell impairment via the Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathway. Nrf2 knockdown partially blocked the anti-oxidative effect of hUC-MSCs, resulting in beta-cell decompensation in a high-glucose environment. Overall, these findings provide novel insights into how hUC-MSCs protect beta-cells from high glucose-induced oxidative stress. CI - (c) The Author(s) (2023).
