This study found that exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells significantly improved insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant human adipocytes, with effects lasting for at least 48 hours. Additionally, exosome treatment led to a significant decrease in leptin levels and an upregulation of mRNA expression of sirtuin-1 and insulin receptor substrate-1.
Insulin resistance is an essential characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which can be induced by glucotoxicity and adipose chronic inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their exosomes were reported to ameliorate T2DM and its complications by their immunoregulatory and healing abilities. Exosomes derived from MSCs contain abundant molecules to mediate crosstalk between cells and mimic biological function of MSCs. But the role of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in insulin resistance of human adipocytes is unclear. In this study, exosomes were harvested from the conditioned medium of hUC-MSCs and added to insulin-resistant adipocytes. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was measured by glucose oxidase/peroxidase assay. The signal pathway involved in exosome-treated adipocytes was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The biological characteristics and function were compared between hUC-MSCs and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). The results showed that hAMSCs had better adipogenic ability than hUC-MSCs. After induction of mature adipocytes by adipogenesis of hAMSC, the model of insulin-resistant adipocytes was successfully established by TNF-alpha and high glucose intervention. After exosome treatment, the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was significantly increased. In addition, the effect of exosomes could be stabilized for at least 48 h. Furthermore, the level of leptin was significantly decreased, and the mRNA expression of sirtuin-1 and insulin receptor substrate-1 was significantly upregulated after exosome treatment. In conclusion, exosomes significantly improve insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant human adipocytes, and the mechanism involves the regulation of adipokines.
