Abstract
:
Hyperglycemia induces tissue damage and stem cells act to restore tissue homeostasis. We evaluated the effects of high glucose (HG) on the Wharton’s jelly-derived stem cells (hWJSCs) morphology, proliferation, inflammatory cytokines and related gene expression. The hWJSCs were characterized for their stemness and divided into three groups as follows: I: Control (5 mM glucose); II: HG (28 mM); III: HG (41 mM). The cells were cultured for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h and cell proliferation and morphology were determined. Inflammation related cytokines and associated gene expression were evaluated following 72 h exposure of the respective agents using Luminex multiplex assay and RT-PCR, respectively. Treatment with HG (Groups II and III) reduced the hWJSCs proliferation compared with control but did not affect the cell morphology. Secreted levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were reduced under high glucose conditions (28 and 41 mM). GM-CSF was reduced in the presence of HG (Groups II and III). IL-6 transcripts showed a similar trend as protein expression. IL-8 and GM-CSF mRNA was up-regulated in treatment groups (II-III). In conclusion, HG levels inhibited the proliferation of hWJSCs and caused alteration in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.
