非梗阻性无精子症(NOA)患者无法生育。因此,这些患者迫切需要额外的治疗替代方案。最近,提出了基于源自间充质干细胞(MSC)的外泌体作为负责发挥旁分泌作用并因此发挥MSC生物学功能的药物的新型治疗方法。此外,富含血小板的血浆(PRP)作为一种重要的血液副产物,已被应用于多项男性不育研究中.在这项研究中,我们在NOA大鼠模型中比较了PRP和外泌体治疗对精子发生恢复的影响。从脂肪组织来源的MSCs(AD-MSCs)中分离外泌体和PRP-从人类志愿者的条件培养基和外周血中收集,分别。NOA诱导是通过两次剂量的白消安以21天的间隔进行的。NOA诱导后35天,睾丸内注射AD-MSCs来源的外泌体(AD-Exo),PRP,并进行PBS。对照组不接受任何治疗。两个月后,将大鼠安乐死用于进一步分析。我们的结果表明,AD-Exo和PRP治疗改善了睾丸的大小和重量,调节Dazl的表达水平,Ddx4,Stra8,Pwil1和CyclinA1,并改善血清LDH水平,SOD,NOA大鼠的GR酶。此外,AD-Exo组显示睾丸激素改善,GPx,MAD,和CAT血清水平,精子运动性,以及Dazl和Ddx4的蛋白质水平。与PRP相比,这项研究证实了AD-Exo治疗在改善白消安诱导的NOA大鼠模型中的更有效作用。
UNASSIGNED: Since available therapeutic approaches for chemotherapy-induced non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients are not enough efficient, an urgent need for treatment alternatives is felt. This study shows that adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosome (AD-Exo) treatment is more effective in ameliorating
busulfan-induced NOA rat models compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
UNASSIGNED: Patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) are unable to have their children. Therefore, there is an urgent need for additional treatment alternatives for these patients. Recently, novel treatments based on the exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as the agents responsible for exerting the paracrine effects and consequently biological functions of MSCs are proposed. Besides, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a significant blood byproduct has been therapeutically applied in several male infertility studies. In this study, we compared the effects of PRP and exosome treatment on spermatogenesis restoration in NOA rat models. Exosomes and PRP were isolated from the adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) collected from conditioned medium and peripheral blood of human volunteers, respectively. Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) induction was done through two doses of
busulfan at a 21-day interval. Thirty-five days after NOA induction, intratesticular injection of AD-MSCs-derived exosome (AD-Exo), PRP, and PBS was performed. The control group did not receive any treatment. Two months later, the rats were euthanized for further analysis. Our results revealed that both AD-Exo and PRP treatments improved the size and weight of testis, modulated the expression level of Dazl, Ddx4, Stra8, Pwil1, and Ccna1, and ameliorated the serum level of LDH, SOD, and GR enzymes in NOA rats. Moreover, the AD-Exo group showed improved testosterone, GPx, MAD, and CAT serum levels, sperm motility, and protein levels of DAZL and DDX4. This investigation verified the more efficient effects of AD-Exo treatment in comparison to PRP in ameliorating
busulfan-induced NOA rat models.
