Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are capable of multipolar differentiation and repairing injured tissues. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by how BMSCs modulate the apoptotic pathway in the acute pancreatitis (AP). In this study, primary BMSCs were cultured and administrated into 10 AP mice while 10 healthy mice were taken as a blank group and 10 AP mice as a control group. The mouse pancreatic tissues were assessed by HE staining and evaluated by pancreatitis score and serum amylase detection. Level of inflammatory factors CRP and TNF-α was measured by ELISA and PIPK1, PIPK3, MLKL and Caspase-8 expression was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The pancreatitis score (7.29±1.36) and the serum amylase score of (453.66±103.67) mu/ml of BMSCs group was significantly higher than that of control group, indicating increased tissue repair after BMSCs treatment. BMSCs group exhibited a higher level of CRP (711.01±115.31) and TNF-α (132.81±22.13) in serum compared to control group (p < 0.05). PIPK1, PIPK3, and MLKL expression in BMSCs group decreased (p < 0.05) whereas Caspase-8 was increased (p < 0.05). On the other hand, BMSCs group presented upregulated PIPK1, PIPK3, and MLKL (p < 0.05) and downregulated Caspase-8 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, BMSCs regulate cell apoptosis by upregulating Caspase-8 expression, and downregulating PIPK1, PIPK3 and MLKL level, thereby alleviating the inflammation in AP.

The effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of cartilage diseases has been demonstrated to be attributed to the paracrine mechanisms, especially the mediation of exosomes. But the exosomes derived from unsynchronized MSCs may be nonhomogeneous and the therapeutic effect varies between samples. Aim: To produce homogeneous and more effective exosomes for the regeneration of cartilage. Materials & methods: In this study we produced specific exosomes from bone marrow MSCs (BMSC) through kartogenin (KGN) preconditioning and investigated their performance in either in vitro or in vivo experiments. Results & conclusion: The exosomes derived from KGN-preconditioned BMSCs (KGN-BMSC-Exos) performed more effectively than the exosomes derived from BMSCs (BMSC-Exos). KGN preconditioning endowed BMSC-Exos with stronger chondral matrix formation and less degradation.

Background & Aims. Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains a high-mortality disease. Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to have plasticity of transdifferentiation and to have immunomodulatory functions. In the present study, we assessed the roles of MSCs in SAP and the therapeutic effects of MSC on SAP after transplantation.Methods. A pancreatitis rat model was induced by the injection of taurocholic acid (TCA) into the pancreatic duct. After isolation and characterization of MSC from BM, MSC transplantation was conducted 24 hrs after SAP induction by tail vein injection. The survival rate was observed and MSCs were traced after transplantation. The expression of TNF-αand IL-1βmRNA in the transplantation group was also analyzed.Results. The survival rate of the transplantation group was significantly higher compared to the control group (p<0.05). Infused MSCs were detected in the pancreas and BM 3 days after transplantation. The expression of TNF-αand IL-1βmRNA in the transplantation group was significantly lower than in the control group in both the pancreas and the lungs (p<0.05).Conclusions. MSC transplantation could improve the prognosis of SAP rats. Engrafted MSCs have the capacity of homing, migration, and planting during the treatment of SAP.
