The beneficial paracrine roles of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tissue repair
have potential in therapeutic strategies against various diseases. However, the
key therapeutic factors secreted from MSCs and their exact molecular mechanisms
of action remain unclear. In this study, the cell-free secretome of umbilical
cord-derived MSCs showed significant anti-fibrotic activity in the mouse models
of liver fibrosis. The involved action mechanism was the regulation of hepatic
stellate cell activation by direct inhibition of the TGF?/Smad-signaling.
Antagonizing the milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFGE8) activity blocked the
anti-fibrotic effects of the MSC secretome in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, MFGE8
was secreted by MSCs from the umbilical cord as well as other tissues, including
teeth and bone marrow. Administration of recombinant MFGE8 protein alone had a
significant anti-fibrotic effect in two different models of liver fibrosis.
Additionally, MFGE8 downregulated TGF? type I receptor expression by binding to
?v?3 integrin on HSCs. These findings revealed the potential role of MFGE8 in
modulating TGF?-signaling. Thus, MFGE8 could serve as a novel therapeutic agent
for liver fibrosis. [BMB Reports 2017; 50(2): 58-59].
