摘要： Background: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) intervention has been associated with lung protection. We attempted to determine whether mouse gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) could protect against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: Mice were divided into three groups: control (Con), bleomycin (Bl), and bleomycin + MSCs (Bl + MSCs). Mice were treated with 5 mg/kg bleomycin via transtracheal instillation to induce pulmonary fibrosis. We assessed the following parameters: histopathological severity of injury in the lung, liver, kidney, and aortic tissues; the degree of pulmonary fibrosis; pulmonary inflammation; pulmonary oedema; profibrotic factor levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue; oxidative stress-related indicators and apoptotic index in lung tissue; and gene expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-8, TNF-alpha, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1), TGF-beta, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), neutrophil elastase (NE), MPO, and IL-10 in lung tissue. Results: GMSC intervention attenuated bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary oedema, and apoptosis. Bleomycin instillation notably increased expression levels of the IL-1 beta, IL-8, TNF-alpha, LPA, LPA1, TGF-beta, MMP-9, NE, and MPO genes and attenuated expression levels of the IL-10 gene in lung tissue, and these effects were reversed by GMSC intervention. Bleomycin instillation notably upregulated MDA and MPO levels and downregulated GSH and SOD levels in lung tissue, and these effects were reversed by GMSC intervention. GMSC intervention prevented upregulation of neutrophil content in the lung, liver, and kidney tissues and the apoptotic index in lung tissue. Conclusions: GMSC intervention exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacities. Deleterious accumulation of neutrophils, which is reduced by GMSC intervention, is a key component of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. GMSC intervention impairs bleomycin-induced NE, MMP-9, LPA, APL1, and TGF-beta release.
