Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuates Pulmonary Hypertension by Normalizing the Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
For decades, stem cell therapies for pulmonary hypertension (PH) have progressed from laboratory hypothesis to clinical practice. Promising preclinical investigations have laid both a theoretical and practical foundation for clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for PH therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. We sought to study the effects and mechanisms of MSCs on the treatment of PH. For in vivo experiments, the transplanted GFP+ MSCs were traced at different time points in the lung tissue of a chronic hypoxia-induced PH (CHPH) rat model. The effects of MSCs on PH pathogenesis were evaluated in both CHPH and sugen hypoxia-induced PH models. For in vitro experiments, primary pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were cultured and treated with the MSC conditioned medium. The specific markers of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and cell migration properties were measured. MSCs decreased pulmonary arterial pressure and ameliorated the collagen deposition, and reduced the thickening and muscularization in both CHPH and sugen hypoxia-induced PH rat models. Then, MSCs significantly attenuated the hypoxia-induced EndMT in both the lungs of PH models and primary cultured rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, as reflected by increased mesenchymal cell markers (fibronectin 1 and vimentin) and decreased endothelial cell markers (vascular endothelial cadherin and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1). Moreover, MSCs also markedly inhibited the protein expression and degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α, which is known to trigger EndMT progression. Our data suggest that MSCs successfully prevent PH by ameliorating pulmonary vascular remodeling, inflammation, and EndMT. Transplantation of MSCs could potentially be a powerful therapeutic approach against PH.
