Abstract

AbstractPrevious studies have demonstrated the rejuvenating and restorative actions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in multiple diseases, but their role in reversing chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is not well understood owing to their low efficiency in homing to the stomach. In this work, we investigated the therapeutic effect of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) on CAG by endoscopic submucosal injection and preliminarily explored possible mechanisms in vitro. MSCs and normal saline (NS) were injected into the submucosa of the stomach in randomly grouped CAG rabbits. Therapeutic effects on serum indices and histopathology of the gastric mucosa were analyzed in vivo at 30 and 60 days after MSCs injection. GES-1 cells were co-cultured with MSCs in vitro using a Transwell system and cell viability, proliferation, and migration ability were detected. Additionally, in view of the potential mechanisms, the relative protein expression levels of apoptosis, autophagy and inflammation in vitro were explored by Western Blotting. We found that submucosal injection of MSCs up-regulated serum indices (G-17, PGI and PGI/PGII) and alleviated histopathological damage to the gastric mucosa in CAG rabbits. Co-culture of GES-1 cells with MSCs improved cell viability, proliferation, and migration ability, while suppressing apoptosis. We also observed a reduction in the expression of apoptosis indicators, including Bax and cleaved caspase-3, in GES-1 cells after co-culture with MSCs in vitro. Our findings suggest that submucosal injection of MSCs is a promising approach for reversing CAG, and attenuating apoptosis plays a potential role in this process.
