Popis: Objective To investigate the role of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUC-MSC-Exo) in the tunicamycin-induced apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells (HKC). Methods Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) was induced by tunicamycin in HKC cells. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. The expression levels of ERS-related proteins of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78),GRP94 and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) were determined by Western blot. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. hUC-MSC-Exo were isolated and identified by flow cytometry. The effects of different concentrations of hUC-MSC-Exo (0,40,60,80,100,150 and 200 μg/mL) upon cell activity were evaluated. Cell proliferation and apoptosis after co-treatment with hUC-MSC-Exo and tunicamycin were assessed by resazurin assay and flow cytometry. Results Treatment with 1,2 and 4 μg/mL tunicamycin could inhibit the proliferation of HKC in a concentration-dependent manner. Different concentrations of tunicamycin could induce ERS and cell apoptosis in HKC. Treatment with 100,150 and 200 μg/mL hUC-MSC-Exo could enhance cell proliferation. Compared with the 2 μg/mL tunicamycin group,cell proliferation was significantly increased in the 2 μg/mL tunicamycin and 150 μg/mL hUC-MSC-Exo co-treatment group (P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate in the 2 μg/mL tunicamycin group was (14.16±1.58)%,and (8.18±0.58)% in the 2 μg/mL tunicamycin and 150 μg/mL hUC-MSC-Exo co-treatment group,and the difference was statistically significant (P
