The Role of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome in the Inflammatory Mediators and the Survival Rate of Rat Model of Sepsis

2023

In sepsis, simultaneously elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and interleukin (IL)-10 indicate immune response dysregulation, increasing the mortality of the host. As mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secretome is known to have immunomodulatory effects, we aim to assess the role of MSC secretome in the inflammatory mediators (NF-κB p65 and p50, TNF-α, IL-10) and the survival rate of a rat model of sepsis. In this study, forty-eight male <i>Rattus norvegicus</i> rats were divided into one sham group and three groups with sepsis induction: the control group and the sepsis-induced rat groups treated with 150 μL (T1) and 300 μL (T2) of secretome. The survival rate was observed per 6 h for 48 h and plotted using the Kaplan–Meier method. Compared to the control group, T2 showed a significant decrease in the relative expression of NF-κB and the serum TNF-α level, and a significant increase in the serum IL-10 level. Meanwhile, T1 showed a significant decrease in the serum TNF-α level compared to the control group. The Kaplan–Meier Log Rank test did not show significance in the distribution of survival between T1, T2, and the control group. However, from the 18th to the 36th hour, the survival rate of T2 was lower than the survival rate of the control group and T1, with a noticeable difference between T2 and the control group, as well as T1 at the 36th hour. At the 42nd hour, the survival rate of T2 was the same as the control group and remained lower than T1. In conclusion, MSC secretome regulated the inflammatory mediators in rat model of sepsis, with a dose of 150 μL being more effective.
