Our study assess whether exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) ameliorates diabetic salivary gland complications. 10 SD rats were assigned into diabetes group I and exosome treatment group II. Diabetic rats were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) and injected with DMSO or exosomes through tail vein followed by collection of submandibular salivary gland samples for histological analysis and TGFβ, Smad2 and Smad3 level by PCR, saliva IgA and serum amylase level. Compared with control mice, exosome treatment mice showed less fibrosis of the submandibular salivary glands and duct components with a more complete structure. Exosome treatment inhibited TGFβ, Smad2 and Smad3 level to reduce diabetic salivary gland complications, effectively decreased blood sugar level, improved salivary glands function with significantly reduced serum amylase and salivary IgA levels. In conclusion, BM-MSC-derived exosomes may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating diabetic salivary gland complications.

Bone Marrow Mscs

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with bone loss and leads to osteopenia and osteoporosis. This study was undertaken to investigate whether the impaired functions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow play a role in pathogenesis of DM-associated bone loss. Bone marrow MSCs were taken from the alloxan-induced diabetic rats and normal rats. Bone mineral densities of tibias and femurs in diabetic rats decreased compared to those of normal rats as shown by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. MSCs from diabetic rats exhibited reduced colony formation activity. The in vitro effects of high glucose (HG) (20 or 33 mM) on the growth, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and differentiation MSCs were next assessed. The viability and proliferation of MSCs derived from diabetic rats decreased significantly compared with that from normal rats. HG further suppressed the proliferation and viability of MSCs from both diabetic and normal rats. HG was associated with 38–40% increase in reactive oxygen species level and had significantly downregulated the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) which could be recovered by the addition of L-ascorbic acid. The phenomena of apoptosis such as chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation were found in cells cultured under HG conditions. As compared with 5.5 mM glucose, exposure of MSCs to HG enhanced adipogenic induction of triacylglycerol accumulation and inhibited osteogenic induction of alkaline phosphatase activity. HG increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma expression during adipogenesis and reduced RUNX2 expression during osteoblastogenesis. These results indicate that MSCs derived from diabetic rats exhibited the inhibitory effects on cell growth and osteogenic ability. The oxidative stress, apoptosis, and adipogenic capability of MSCs were increased by HG. Furthermore, it is suggested that HG induces bone loss via attenuating the proliferation and osteoblastogenesis and enhancing adipogenesis mediated by the oxidative stress in rat bone marrow MSCs.
