Abstract

Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are highly useful for vascular regeneration of injured or inflamed tissue. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent activator of macrophages and stimulates macrophages to release inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, we explored the role of LPS-activated macrophages in the differentiation of hMSCs to smooth muscle cells (SMCs). We demonstrated that conditioned medium from LPS-induced macrophages (LPS CM) stimulates differentiation of hMSCs to SMCs, as evidenced by increased expression of smooth muscle-specific markers, including alpha-smooth muscle actin (${\alpha}$-SMA), smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain, and calponin. LPS induced the secretion of $PGF2{\alpha}$ from macrophages, and $PGF2{\alpha}$ treatment stimulated expression levels of SMC-specific markers in hMSCs. Furthermore, small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of the $PGF2{\alpha}$ receptor inhibited LPS CM-stimulated ${\alpha}$-SMA expression. These results suggest that LPS-activated macrophages promote differentiation of hMSCs to SMCs through a $PGF2{\alpha}$-dependent mechanism.

인체 중간엽 줄기세포는 지방세포, 골세포, 연골세포, 근육세포 등 여러 형태의 세포로의 분화되는 것이 특징이다. 특히, 최근 연구 결과를 살펴 보면, 중간엽 줄기세포는 생체 내에서 조직 특이적인 세포 형태로 분화 된다. 본 연구에서는 염증 상태에 존재하는 중간엽 줄기 세포가 혈관 형성에 관여하는지 알아보고, 염증 상태에 존재하는 줄기세포의 역할을 규명하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 생체 내 염증 상태와 유사한 환경을 만들고자, 강력한 염증 유발 물질인 LPS를 대식세포에 처리하여 그 배양액을 중간엽 줄기세포에 처리하여 변화를 관찰하였다. LPS 배양액을 처리한 중간엽 줄기세포는 평활근 세포로 분화가 촉진되는 것을 확인하였으며, LPS 배양액에 존재하는 분화 유도 물질이 $PGF2{\alpha}$임을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구결과를 통해 염증 상태에서 존재하는 중간엽 줄기세포는 평활근 세포로의 분화가 촉진되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 염증성 미세환경 내에 존재하는 중간엽 줄기세포가 평활근 세포로 분화가 유도됨을 확인하였고, 혈관 형성을 촉진하는데 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 제시한다.
