Objective:To investigate the expressions of AT1-R, AT2-R and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under hypoxia and serum deprivation condition. Methods:Bone MSCs were isolated, cultured and identiifed by anti-CD29 and anti-CD11b/c with flow cytometry. The ischemic injury model was established by exposing MSCs to hypoxia and serum deprivation (Hypoxia/SD). Cell viability and apoptotic rate were detected by trypan blue staining, CCK8 assays and Annexin V-FITC staining. The mRNA expressions of AT1-R, AT2-R and ACE were determined by Reverse Transcription-PCR and Real-time Quantitative PCR, The expression of AT1-R, AT2-R and ACE protein were measured by Western-blot. Results:MSCs expressed CD29, but not the CD11b/c. The purity of MSCs employed was up to 97%. The results of trypan blue staining along with CCK8 and Annexin V-FITC staining proved that the injury model induced by Hypoxia/SD was successfully established. MSCs under hypoxia and serum deprivation for 24 h induced a rapid increase in mRNA expression of AT1-R, AT2-R and ACE as well as their protein expressions. Conclusion:The local RAS in MSCs is activated by Hypoxia/SD stimulation and the mRNA and protein expressions of AT1-R, AT2-R and ACE are up-regulated.
