Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit therapeutic benefits on aortic aneurysm (AA); however, the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The current study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of murine bone marrow MSC (BM-MSCs)-derived conditioned medium (MSCs-CM) on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced AA in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/- ) mice. Murine BM-MSCs, MSCs-CM or control medium were intravenously administrated into AngII-induced AA in apoE-/- mice. Mice were sacrificed at 2 weeks after injection. BM-MSCs and MSCs-CM significantly attenuated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 expression, aortic elastin degradation and AA growth at the site of AA. These treatments with BM-MSCs and MSCs-CM also decreased Ly6chigh monocytes in peripheral blood on day 7 and M1 macrophage infiltration in AA tissues on day 14, whereas they increased M2 macrophages. In addition, BM-MSCs and MSCs-CM reduced MCP-1, IL-1Ra and IL-6 expression and increased IL-10 expression in AA tissues. In vitro, peritoneal macrophages were co-cultured with BM-MSCs or fibroblasts as control in a transwell system. The mRNA and protein expression of M2 macrophage markers were evaluated. IL-6 and IL-1β were reduced, while IL-10 was increased in the BM-MSC systems. The mRNA and protein expression of M2 markers were up-regulated in the BM-MSC systems. Furthermore, high concentration of IGF1, VEGF and TGF-β1 was detected in MSCs-CM. Our results suggest that MSCs-CM could prevent AA growth potentially through regulating macrophage polarization. These results may provide a new insight into the mechanisms of BM-MSCs in the therapy of AA.Keywords:aortic aneurysm; conditioned medium; macrophage polarization; matrix metalloproteinases; mesenchymal stem cells.
