Introduction.
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) have emerged as promising cell candidates but with poor survival after transplantation.
This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of VEGF, bFGF, and IGF-1 on BMSCs’ viability and proliferation both in vivo and in vitro using bioluminescence imaging (BLI).
Methods.
BMSCs were isolated from β-actin-Fluc+ transgenic FVB mice, which constitutively express firefly luciferase.
Apoptosis was induced by hypoxia preconditioning for up to 24 h followed by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay.
106 BMSCs with/without growth factors were injected subcutaneously into wild type FVB mice’s backs.
Survival of BMSCs was longitudinally monitored using bioluminescence imaging (BLI) for 5 weeks.
Protein expression of Akt, p-Akt, PARP, and caspase-3 was detected by Western blot.
Results.
Hypoxia-induced apoptosis was significantly attenuated by bFGF and IGF-1 compared with VEGF and control group in vitro ( P < 0.05 ).
When combined with matrigel, IGF-1 showed the most beneficial effects in protecting BMSCs from apoptosis in vivo.
The phosphorylation of Akt had a higher ratio in the cells from IGF-1 group.
Conclusion.
IGF-1 could protect BMSCs from hypoxia-induced apoptosis through activation of p-Akt/Akt pathway.
