Abstract:
:Stem cell transplantation has indicated great promise for cell therapy in a wide range of diseases, but poor and insufficient viability of cells within damaged tissues has limited its potential therapeutic effects. 17 β-Estradiol (E2) is a steroid hormone that plays an important role in expression of many genes and regulating proliferation, viability, and intracellular redox status in different cell types. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of E2 on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Apoptosis was induced by serum deprivation (SD), and cells were exposed to E2 in the presence or absence of serum for varying periods of time, after which cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Expression of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic proteins after exposure to E2 was examined by Western blotting. The ability of E2 to prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was also measured. The results indicated that E2 significantly enhanced the viability of the cells and protected BM-MSCs against SD-induced overproduction of ROS. It could reduce lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant power, and also Bax/Bcl-2 ratio as well as expression of caspase-3. Taken together, our data support that E2 treatment protects BM-MSCs against SD-induced damage by regulating ROS production and upregulation of antiapoptotic/proapoptotic proteins ratio.
