BackgroundHypoxia-induced damage is one of the key factors associated with islet graft dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be used to enhance the therapeutic effect of islet transplantation due to their paracrine potential such as exosomes. In this study, we investigated whether exosomes from human umbilical cord-derived MSC-conditioned medium (hu-MSC-CM) could increase the survival and function of neonatal porcine islet cell clusters (NICCs) exposed to hypoxia. MethodsNeonatal porcine islet cell clusters were cultured with hu-MSC-CM, with or without exosomes, and native medium RPMI-1640 (Control) under hypoxic conditions (1% O-2). The effects of exosomes on NICCs viability and function in vitro were examined by FACS, the Loops system, and the Extracellular Flux assay, respectively. ResultsCompared with NICCs cultured in RPMI-1640 medium and hu-MSC-CM without exosomes, the survival ratio, viability, and function increased in NICCs cultured in hu-MSC-CM with exosomes. ConclusionsThis study found that hu-MSC-CM could protect NICCs from hypoxia-induced dysfunction, and exosomes played an important role in hypoxic resistance, suggesting a potential strategy to improve islet transplantation outcomes.
