Intrauterine adhesions repair with menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells via CXCL13-CXCR5 signal axis and its mechanism

Abstract Backgroud Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA) is a common gynecological disease which is seriously endangers the reproductive function of women without any ideal treatment. Some researchers found Menstrual Blood-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MenSCs) can repair of damaged endometrium, however, ha...

description Abstract Backgroud Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA) is a common gynecological disease which is seriously endangers the reproductive function of women without any ideal treatment. Some researchers found Menstrual Blood-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MenSCs) can repair of damaged endometrium, however, has not been fully clarified. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effects of MenSCs in IUA and the repair mechanism in vivo. Methods This study is Laboratory-based study. To evaluate the therapeutic effects of MenSCs in IUA, We cultivated MenSCs, established mouse endometrial injury model, observed the uterine morphology and degree of endometrial fibrosis and compared the expression of CXC chemokine ligand-13 (CXCL13)、CXC chemokine receptor-5 (CXCR5)、Plasmin Activating Inhibitor-1(Pai-1), Transforming Growth Faction-β1(TGF- β1) and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (Mmp-9) among each groups. GraphPad Prism 8.0 was used for statistical processing. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical comparisons among groups were performed with one-way ANOVA. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results We successfully cultured and identified MenSCs and established mice model of uterine adhesion. After treatment with MenSCs, endometrial morphology of mice was partially restored, endometrial thickness was increased, and glands were multipiled. The concentrations of CXCL13 and CXCR5 were significantly increased by immunofluorescence detection compared with the control group. The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expressions of Pai-1 and Mmp-9 were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusions MenSCs may reduce endometrial fibrosis and the down-regulating expression of Pai-1、Mmp-9 and CXCL13-CXCR5 axis were involved in the process of MenSCs repaired IUA.
