Effect of heme oxygenase‐1 transduced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on damaged intestinal epithelial cells in vitro

In this study, we explored the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow overexpressing heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) on the damaged human intestinal epithelial barrier in vitro.

Description
Summary:In this study, we explored the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow overexpressing heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) on the damaged human intestinal epithelial barrier in vitro. Rat MSCs were isolated from bone marrow and transduced with rat HO‐1 recombinant adenovirus (HO‐MSCs) for stable expression of HO‐1. Colorectal adenocarinoma 2 (Caco2) cells were treated with tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) to establish a damaged colon epithelial model. Damaged Caco2 were cocultured with MSCs, Ad‐MSCs, Ad‐HO + MSCs or HO‐MSCs. mRNA and protein expression of Zona occludens‐1 (ZO‐1) and human HO‐1 and the release of cytokines were measured. ZO‐1 and human HO‐1 in Caco2 were significantly decreased after treatment with TNF‐α; and this effect was reduced when coculture with MSCs from bone marrow. Expression of ZO‐1 was not significantly affected by Caco2 treatment with TNF‐α, Ad‐HO, and MSCs. In contrast, ZO‐1 and human HO‐1 increased significantly when the damaged Caco2 was treated with HO‐MSCs. HO‐MSCs showed the strongest effect on the expression of ZO‐1 in colon epithelial cells. Coculture with HO‐MSCs showed the most significant effects on reducing the expression of IL‐2, IL‐6, IFN‐γ and increasing the expression of IL‐10. HO‐MSCs protected the intestinal epithelial barrier, in which endogenous HO‐1 was involved. HO‐MSCs play an important role in the repair process by reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines and increasing the release of anti‐inflammatory factors. These results suggested that HO‐MSCs from bone marrow were more effective in repairing the damaged intestinal epithelial barrier, and the effectiveness of MSCs was improved by HO‐1 gene transduction, which provides favorable support for the application of stem cell therapy in the intestinal diseases.
