Abstract: 【Objective】 The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAd-MSCs) on in vitro model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP),in order to provide a theoretical guide for the treatment of pancreatitis with stem cells.【Method】 ①Type Ⅰ collagenase digestion method was used to separate cAd-MSCs,the expression of stem cell markers CD29,CD34,CD44,CD45,CD73 and CD90 was identified by flow cytometry,and its multidirectional differentiation potential was identified by adipogenic,osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.②Pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) were isolated from mouse pancreatic tissue with type Ⅰ collagenase.The expression of pancreatic duct-specific gene CK19,β-islet cell-specific gene Insulin-1,α-islet cell-specific gene Glucagon and PAC-specific genes PTF-1α,CPA-1 and AMY2B in PACs and pancreatic tissues were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.③PACs were treated with 10 and 20 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS),10 and 100 mmol/L Caerulein,and 10 μg/mL LPS+100 mmol/L Caerulein,the cells cultured without drugs were used as the control group.The survival rate of PACs was detected by CCK-8 at 24 h to screen the optimal treatment group for constructing endoplasmic reticulum(ER) model in vitro (model group,P).The survival rate of control group (Naive) and P group were detected by CCK-8 at 0,2,4,8,12 and 24 h,the expression of ER stress-related proteins in P group were detected by Western blotting.④To determine the mode of action of cAd-MSCs on PACs,the experiment was divided into PAC group (only PACs,Naive),P group,indirect co-culture group (IC) and direct co-culture group (DC).The expression of TNF-α gene was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.⑤In the IC system,cells were divided into blank control group (PACs only,Naive),control group (PACs co-cultured with cAd-MSCs),P group and experimental group (drug-treated PACs co-cultured with cAd-MSCs,T).The expression of ER stress-related genes and proteins were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting at 12 h.The apoptosis of cells in each group was detected by TUNEL assay.【Result】 ①The isolated and cultured cAd-MSCs showed fibroblast-like cell morphology,highly expressed stem cell markers CD29,CD44,CD73 and CD90,did not express CD34 and CD45,and had the ability of adipogenic,osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.②The isolated PACs showed cobblestone-like morphology,and compared with pancreatic tissue,the expression of AMY2B,CPA1,PTF-1α genes were significantly increased (P<0.05),CK19,Glucagon,and Insulin-1 were extremely significant decreased (P<0.01).③Compared with control group,the cell viability in 10 μg/mL LPS+100 mmol/L Caerulein group was extremely significant decreased (P<0.01),which was selected as the best treatment group for building an ER stress model.Compared with control group,the cell viability of PACs in P group was significantly decreased at 4 h (P<0.05),and extremely significant decreased at 8,12 and 24 h (P<0.01).Western blotting results showed that the expression of Grp78,CHOP and Caspase-12 protein were increased significantly from 4 h (P<0.01).④Compared with Naive group,the mRNA expression of TNF-α gene in P group was extremely significantly increased (P<0.01).Compared with P group,the expression of the TNF-α gene in IC and DC groups was extremely significantly decreased (P<0.01).The subsequent experiments were carried out with IC system.⑤In the IC system,compared with P group,the relative mRNA and protein expressions of Grp78,Caspase-12 and CHOP in T group were extremely significantly decreased (P<0.01).The TUNEL results showed that the number of positive cells in T group was obviously reduced.【Conclusion】 In this experiment,ER stress model of SAP in vitro were sucessfully constructed,and it was confirmed that cAd-MSCs could protect the ER stress of PACs.
