Abstract:

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes but its pathogenesis is not fully clarified. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been confirmed to be involved in the development of DPN. Dorsal root ganglion neuron (DRGn) is the target cell of DPN injure in the peripheral neurons system. Schwann cell (SCs)-derived exosomes (SC-EXOs) can carry IRE1signal transduction factors in ER stress to DRGn. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of SC-EXOs treated with paeoniflorin (PF) on DRGn stimulated by high glucose.

Methods: SCs were divided into Control group (Control), 150 mM glucose group (HG), high osmotic pressure group (HOP), and low, middle, and high dose PF group (PF1, PF10, and PF100). Exosomes were obtained from SCs by ultracentrifugation and identified according to marker proteins, including CD63, Alix, Hsp70, and TSG101. ER stress initiating factor GRP78,the IRE1pathway information transmission factor IRE1, and the phosphorylation level of IRE1were detected by Western blot, DRGn is divided into Control group (Control), 50 mM glucose group + Control exosomes group (HG + EXOs Control), 50 mM glucose group (HG), and 50 mM glucose group + administration exosomes group (HG + EXOs PF1, HG + EXOs PF10, and HG + EXOs PF100); ER morphology of primary DRGn was observed by using the transmission electron microscope, the level of DRGn apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL, and the downstream proteins of ER stress including CHOP, XBP1S, JNK, and p-JNK in DRG and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, and Caspase-12 were measured by Western blot.

Results: Compared with the exosomes in the HG group, the exosomes after the intervention of PF can significantly reduce the expression of GRP78, IRE1, and the phosphorylation level of IRE1(<0.05); compared with the DRGn in the HG group, the SC-EXOs treated with PF could regulate the expression of proteins downstream of IRE1pathway in ER stress (<0.05 or<0.01), improve the morphological integrity of ER, and reduce apoptosis in DRGn (<0.05 or<0.01).

Conclusion: PF regulates the information of ER stress carried by SC-EXOs and further affects downstream of IRE1pathway in DRGn, thus reducing ER stress-induced apoptosis. PF can interfere with DPN through affecting information communication carried by EXOs between SCs and DRGn.
