摘要:

运动训练和间充质干细胞移植都是目前脑缺血治疗的切实有效方法,但两者是否存在协同作用仍不明确。实验以大脑中动脉闭塞2h再灌注24h建立永久性大脑中动脉闭塞缺血再灌注损伤大鼠模型后,尾静脉骨髓注射间充质干细胞来源的外泌体,并给予其连续14d的跑步机运动训练。行为学、组织病理学和免疫组化检测结果显示,联合治疗的大鼠脑组织神经元凋亡明显减少,脑梗死体积缩小,突触形成和轴突再生增殖,神经功能显著恢复,两者联合治疗的效果明显优于运动训练或骨髓间充质干细胞来源的外泌体单一治疗。进一步研究发现,其作用机制在于活化JNK1/c-Jun信号通路,进而调节神经元凋亡和突触-轴突重塑。以上结果表明运动训练可能与骨髓间充质干细胞来源的外泌体发挥协同作用,该作用的发挥可能与JNK1/c-Jun信号通路活化有关。这项研究为运动训练联合骨髓间充质干细胞来源的外泌体治疗缺血性脑血管病的临床应用提供了新的依据。

Abstract: Treadmill exercise and mesenchymal stem cell transplantation are both practical and effective methods for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. However, whether there is a synergistic effect between the two remains unclear. In this study, we established rat models of ischemia/reperfusion injury by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours. Rat models were perfused with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) via the tail vein and underwent 14 successive days of treadmill exercise. Neurological assessment, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry results revealed decreased neuronal apoptosis and cerebral infarct volume, evident synaptic formation and axonal regeneration, and remarkably recovered neurological function in rats subjected to treadmill exercise and MSC-exos treatment. These effects were superior to those in rats subjected to treadmill exercise or MSC-exos treatment alone. Mechanistically, further investigation revealed that the activation of JNK1/c-Jun signaling pathways regulated neuronal apoptosis and synaptic-axonal remodeling. These findings suggest that treadmill exercise may exhibit a synergistic effect with MSC-exos treatment, which may be related to activation of the JNK1/c-Jun signaling pathway. This study provides novel theoretical evidence for the clinical application of treadmill exercise combined with MSC-exos treatment for ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
