ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The hippocampus is susceptible to damage, leading to negative impacts on cognition. Conditioned medium (CM) obtained from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) have shown neuroprotective effects independently. This study explored the synergistic potential of ASA and CM from adipose-derived MSCs against hippocampal injury.METHODS:
Adult male Wistar rats received bilateral hippocampal ethidium bromide (EB) injections to induce hippocampal damage. Rats were treated with ASA and/or CM derived from adipose tissue MSCs every 48 h for 16 days. Behavioral tests (open field test, Morris water maze, novel object recognition, and passive avoidance), oxidative stress, Western blot analysis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) expression, and hippocampal histological investigation were conducted.RESULTS:
Administration of EB caused impairments in spatial, recognition, and passive avoidance memory, as well as heightened oxidative stress, reduced BDNF/CDNF expression, and pyramidal cell loss in the hippocampal CA1 region. Administration of ASA, CM, or a combination of both mitigated these hippocampal damages and cognitive deficits, elevated BDNF and CDNF levels, and alleviated the CA1 necrosis caused by EB. Moreover, co-administering ASA and CM resulted in greater improvements in spatial memory compared to administering ASA alone, suggesting possible synergistic interactions.CONCLUSIONS:
The ability of ASA, CM obtained from adipose tissue-derived MSCs, and their combination therapy to alleviate hippocampal injuries highlights their promising therapeutic potential as a neuroprotection strategy against brain damage. Our findings provide preliminary evidence of the potential synergistic effects of ASA and CM, which warrants further investigations.Palabras clave
