Abstract
Stem cells have become a powerful tool in the treatment of many diseases owing to their regenerative ability and rapid promotion of development in regenerative medicine such as in traumatic brain injury. However, the high level of oxidant micro-environment in lesion region leads to more than 99% cells into death. In this study, we used genetic methods to edit Keap1 gene in mesenchymal stem cells, we and observed their antioxidative ability. First, we disturbed the start codon and the 376th amino acid codon of Keap1 in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) with CRISPR/Cas9, respectively, to release Nrf2 from the binding of Keap1. As a result, Nrf2 was activated and localized into nuclei and regulated cellular anti-oxidation. We observed that the cells lacking Keap1 ATG codon showed obvious nuclear localization of Nrf2. Besides lower expression of Bax-1 and lower content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected after H2O2 treatment, we also found higher expression of Bcl-2 in Keap1 ATG codon knock-out cells, whereas a higher expression of PCNA was observed only in the Keap1 376th codon-edited cells, whose Bax-1 expression was lower than that in the control cells. Our study revealed that loss of Keap1 resulted in anti-oxi...Continue Reading
