Why the study?

The incidence of obesity and diabetes is rising without optimal management, and obesity-associated type 2 diabetes causes adipose inflammation, oxidative stress, white fat hyperplasia, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Does intraperitoneal delivery of antioxidant-upregulated MSCs improve fatty liver disease, systemic inflammation, and glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice?

Population

Diet-induced obese mouse models fed a 45% or 60% high-fat diet

Comparison

Sod2- or catalase-upregulated human adipose-derived MSCs vs null-control MSCs

Design

Animal experimental study

Follow-up

4 weeks

Overview

Antioxidant-upregulated MSC delivery may ease oxidative stress in obese diabetic models; leaves open clinical translation for glucose tolerance.

Structured PICO

Does intraperitoneal delivery of antioxidant-upregulated MSCs improve fatty liver disease, systemic inflammation, and glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice?

P
Population
Diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse models fed a 45% or 60% high-fat diet (HFD)
I
Intervention
Intraperitoneal delivery of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with upregulated antioxidant genes Sod2 (mitochondrial) or catalase (cytosolic) via adenoviral constructs
C
Comparator
Intraperitoneal delivery of Null (control) MSCs
O
Outcome
Liver fat content (histological analysis and triglyceride assay), systemic inflammation (plasma TNFα), white adipose tissue browning (Ucp1, Pcgc1a, Prdm16 mRNA), and glucose tolerancesurrogate

Antioxidant-upregulated mesenchymal stem cell delivery reduces liver fat accumulation and systemic inflammation while improving glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice.
