Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes are Effective for Radiation Enteritis and Essential for the Proliferation and Differentiation of Lgr5+ Intestinal Epithelial Stem Cells by Regulating Mir-195/Akt/β-Catenin Pathway
Background: Radiation enteritis (RE) is a common complication of abdominal or pelvic radiotherapy, which when severe, could be life-threatening. Currently, there are no effective treatments. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) exhibit promising therapeutic effects in inflammatory diseases. However, the specific role of MSC-exos in RE and the regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Methods: In vivo assay was carried out by injecting MSC-exos into the total abdominal irradiation (TAI)-induced RE mouse model. For in vitro assay, Lgr5-positive intestinal epithelial stem cells (Lgr5+ IESC) were extracted from mice, followed by irradiation along with MSC-exos treatment. HE staining was performed to measure histopathological changes. mRNA expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 and stem cell markers LGR5, and OCT4 were quantified by RT-qPCR. EdU and TUNEL staining was performed to estimate cell proliferation and apoptosis. MiR-195 expression in TAI mice and radiation-induced Lgr5+ IESC was tested. Results: We found that the injection of MSC-exos inhibited inflammatory reaction, increased stem cell marker expression, and maintained intestinal epithelial integrity in TAI mice. Furthermore, MSC-exos treatment increased the proliferation and simultaneously suppressed apoptosis in radiation-stimulated Lgr5+ IESC. MiR-195 expression increased by radiation exposure was decreased by MSC-exos therapy. MiR-195 overexpression facilitated the progress of RE by counteracting the effect of MSC-exos. Mechanistically, the Akt and Wnt/β-catenin pathways inhibited by MSC-exos were activated by miR-195 upregulation. Conclusion: MSC-Exos are effective in treating RE and are essential for the proliferation and differentiation of Lgr5+ IESCs. Moreover, MSC-exos mediates its function by regulating miR-195 Akt β-catenin pathways.Keywords: Exosomes; Lgr5; Mesenchymal stem cells; Radiation enteritis; miR-195.
