Effects of hypoxia on differentiation from human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells to nucleus pulposus-like cells

Background context

Low back pain is a frequently occurring disease caused by intervertebral disc degeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a possible treatment modality. Studies have shown MSCs can be transformed into nucleus pulposus-like cells under normoxic conditions. However, this is not a true representation of the hypoxic environment nucleus pulposus cells experience during in vivo growth and differentiation.

Purpose

To determine the effects of a hypoxic environment on the differentiation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) to nucleus pulposus-like cells.

Study design

An experimental study.

Methods

Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and the mesenchymal lineage was confirmed by flow cytometry. Two groups of PMSCs were then cultured under different oxygen concentrations creating a hypoxic group and normoxic group. The proliferation of cells in each group was compared by cell counting kit-8 on Day 1, 3, 5, and 7. Real-time polymerase chain reaction on Days 3 and 7 compared the expressions of Sox-9, Type II collagen, aggrecan, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) between the two groups. Immunofluorescence was used to compare the expression of Type II collagen between the two groups after 14 days.

Results

Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells were successfully isolated and cultured. Mesenchymal markers were positive. On Days 3 and 5, the hypoxic group had a significantly higher proliferation rate than the normoxic group (p<.05). The expression of Sox-9 and HIF-1α was significantly higher (p<.05) in the hypoxic group at Days 3 and 7. Type II collagen and aggrecan expressions were significantly higher (p<.05) in the hypoxic group at Day 7. The hypoxic group stained more positive for Type II collagen at Day 14.

Conclusions

Hypoxic conditions lead to an increased differentiation and proliferation of nucleus pulposus-like cells. Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured in nucleus pulposus inducing media and a hypoxic environment show enhanced expression of the nucleus pulposus-like cell markers, Sox-9, Type II collagen, aggrecan, and HIF-1α.     

Effects of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α on the expression of tight junction proteins and permeability in rat glomerular endothelial cells under hypoxia condition

Objective To investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) in the expression of tight junction proteins and permeability alterations in rat glomerular endothelial cells (rGENCs) under hypoxia condition. Methods The expressions of the HIF-2α and tight junction proteins such as occludin and ZO-1 of rGENCs were examined after exposed to 5% oxygen at different treatment time periods (0 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h). Then lentiviral transfection was used to knock down HIF-2α expression in rGENCs. The cells were split into four groups, including i) control group where rGENCs were cultured under normal oxygen conditions, ii) hypoxia group, iii) negative control group where rGENCs were infected with a negative vector, iv) HIF-2α lentivirus transfection group. Group ii, iii and iv were kept in hypoxic chamber (5% O2, 5% CO2 and 90% N2) for 24 h. The expressions of occludin, ZO-1 and HIF-2α were assessed by Western blotting. The permeability of rGENCs was measured using trans-epithelium electrical resistant (TEER) by Millicell? ERS voltohmmeter. Results With the elongation of hypoxia time, the expression of HIF-2α was increased gradually, while the occludin expression was decreased, there was statistically significance difference in each group (all P＜0.01). The expression of ZO-1 also decreased gradually under hypoxia circumstance, but no statistically significant was found between 24 h and 48 h groups (all P＞0.05). And a dramatic decrease in TEER of hypoxia cells was detected as compare with control cells (P＜0.01). After knockdown of HIF-2α expression, both expressions of occludin and ZO-1 were increased significantly compared with hypoxia cells (P＜0.01), and TEER elevated at the same time (P＜0.01). Above indexes had no statistical difference between hypoxia cells and negative control cells (all P＞0.05). Conclusion Hypoxia may promote HIF-2α expression, which could increase the permeability of rGENCs by reducing the expression of occludin and ZO-1.     

HIF-1α and HIF-2α degradation is differentially regulated in nucleus pulposus cells of the intervertebral disc

Studies of many cell types show that levels of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α are primarily controlled by oxygen-dependent proteasomal degradation, catalyzed by HIF prolyl-hydroxylases (PHDs). However, in the hypoxic niche of the intervertebral disc, the mechanism of HIF-α turnover in nucleus pulposus cells is not yet known. We show that in nucleus pulposus cells HIF-1α and HIF-2α, degradation was mediated through 26S proteasome irrespective of oxygen tension. It is noteworthy that HIF-2α degradation through 26S proteasome was more pronounced in hypoxia. Surprisingly, treatment with DMOG, a PHD inhibitor, shows the accumulation of only HIF-1α and induction in activity of its target genes, but not of HIF-2α. Loss and gain of function analyses using lentiviral knockdown of PHDs and overexpression of individual PHDs show that in nucleus pulposus cells only PHD2 played a limited role in HIF-1α degradation; again HIF-2α degradation was unaffected. We also show that the treatment with inhibitors of lysosomal proteolysis results in a strong accumulation of HIF-1α and to a much smaller extent of HIF-2α levels. It is thus evident that in addition to PHD2 catalyzed degradation, the HIF-1α turnover in nucleus pulposus cells is primarily regulated by oxygen-independent pathways. Importantly, our data clearly suggests that proteasomal degradation of HIF-2α is not mediated by a classical oxygen-dependent PHD pathway. These results for the first time provide a rationale for the normoxic stabilization as well as the maintenance of steady-state levels of HIF-1α and HIF-2α in nucleus pulposus cells.
