Transcriptional positive coactivator 4 is involved in senescence of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Objective To investigate the potential role of transcriptional positive coactivator 4 (PC4) in the senescence of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods The expression of PC4 in MSCs was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. After the downregulation of PC4 expression by sequence specific siRNA
the proliferation of MSCs was assayed by CCK-8 and the senescence of MSCs was characterized by beta-galactosidase staining. Results After long-term in vitro culture
MSCs underwent replicative senescence and the expression of PC4 was significantly decreased. Downregulation of PC4 expression by RNA interference significantly inhibited the proliferation of MSCs and resulted in cellular senescence. Conclusion Transcriptional positive coactivator 4 may play a modulatory role in the proliferation and senescence of rat bone marrow-derived MSCs.
