摘要:
目的 本研究探讨经血来源子宫内膜干细胞外泌体(MenSCs-Exos)对卵巢早衰(POF)大鼠卵巢功能的修复作用及其机制。 方法 POF模型建成后采用随机数字表法分为移植治疗组和安慰剂组(各8只),接受MenSCs-Exos和PBS尾静脉注射,设立空白对照组(8只)。观察大鼠一般情况、动情周期和体重变化,采用ELISA法检测黄体生成素(LH)、卵泡刺激素(FSH)、抗缪勒管激素(AMH)、雌二醇(E2)、B细胞淋巴瘤-2(Bcl-2)和Bcl-2相关X蛋白(Bax)浓度,HE染色并观察大鼠卵巢组织病理变化,计数各级卵泡数。 结果 干预后移植治疗组大鼠一般情况改善,动情周期恢复,干预第14天移植治疗组大鼠体重[(289.56±10.80)g]小于空白对照组[(313.38±8.94)g],高于安慰剂组[(280.82±4.40)g,P<0.05]。移植治疗组LH和FSH水平低于安慰剂组,高于空白对照组,AMH和E2水平则明显高于安慰剂组,低于空白对照组(P<0.05),移植治疗组大鼠卵巢病理形态得到改善,各级卵泡数量均低于空白对照组,高于安慰剂组(P<0.05)。移植治疗组Bcl-2浓度低于空白对照组,高于安慰剂组,而Bax浓度则高于空白对照组,低于安慰剂组(P<0.05)。 结论 MenSCs-Exos移植可恢复CTX所致POF大鼠的卵巢功能,改善卵巢组织损伤,其机制可能与凋亡相关蛋白表达的调节有关。 -

Abstract:Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the reparative effects and mechanisms of exosomes derived from menstrual blood-derived stromal cells (MenSCs-Exos) in restoring ovarian function of premature ovarian failure (POF) rats. Methods After the POF model was successfully established, it was divided into the transplantation treatment group and the placebo group (each 8 rats) using the random number table method. Both groups received tail vein injections of MenSCs-Exos and PBS. Control group (8 rats) was also set up. The physical conditions, body weight, and estrus cycle of the SD rats were monitored. Plasma was harvested to measure the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), and estradiol (E2) by ELISA. The ovarian pathology and follicle counts were examined by HE. The protein concentration of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in ovarian tissue were examined by ELISA. Results Rats in the transplantation group restored physical condition and the motility cycle after treatment. On day 14 after intervention, the weight of rats in the transplantation group was lower [(289.56±10.80) g] than that of the control group [(313.38±8.94) g] and higher than that of the placebo group [(280.82±4.40) g, P < 0.05]. The levels of LH and FSH in the transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the placebo group and higher than those in the control group, while the levels of AMH and E2 were significantly higher than those in the placebo group and lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The pathological morphology of the ovaries in the transplantation group was improved, with follicle numbers at all developmental stages lower than those of the control group and higher than those of the placebo group (P < 0.05). In addition, the concentration of Bcl-2 protein was lower than that of the control group and higher than that of the placebo group, while the concentration of Bax protein was higher than that of the control group and lower than that of the placebo group (P < 0.05). Conclusion MenSCs-Exos transplantation effectively restores ovarian function and ameliorates ovarian damage, potentially through regulation of apoptosis-related protein expression. -
