Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the role of P53 in decreased cell proliferation and proteasomal activity during culture expansion of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). METHODS: The proteasomal activity and expression level of P53 in early-passage (passage 3~4) and late-passage (passage≥14) hBMSCs were observed. Early-passage hBMSCs were divided into DMSO control group, MG132 group (treated with 10 μmol/L MG132 for 4 h) and pifithrin-α(PET-α) + MG132 group (pretreatment with 20 μmol/L PFT-α for 1 h then exposure to MG132 for 4 h). The proliferation and cell cycle distribution of the cells were measured by BrdU incorporation assay and PI staining. To further confirm the effect of P53 inhibitor on late-passage hBMSCs, the cells were incubated with 20 μmol/L PFT-α and the BrdU-positive cells were counted. RESULTS: Accompanied by reduced proteasomal activity, the expression level of P53 in late-passage hBMSCs was up-regulated by 16.89%±4.44% compared with early-passage cells. Application of the proteasome inhibitor MG132 reduced the proliferation of early-passage hBMSCs, and the percentage of BrdU-positive cells dropped to 33.36%±2.24%. However, MG132-induced decrease in cell proliferation was partially reversed by pretreatment with PFT-α. BrdU-positive cells in PFT-α + MG132 group were increased to 49.23%±2.67%. The cell cycle distribution had no significant difference between PFT-α + MG132 group and DMSO group, and the higher proliferation index was found in PFT-α + MG132 group but not in MG132 group. Inhibition of P53 activity in late-passage hBMSCs by PFT-α promoted the cell proliferation, and the percentage of BrdU-positive cells was higher than that in control group. CONCLUSION: Long-term expansion of hBMSCs in vitro reduces proteasomal activity, which in turn activates P53 to suppress cell proliferation through blocking cell cycle progression. |
