PURPOSE: Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) is a common preservative in ophthalmic formulations that causes cytotoxic damage to the corneal epithelial cells. This study aims to explore the role of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived conditioned medium in modulating the BAK-induced cytotoxic effects in cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) as a cell-free therapeutic agent.
METHODS: The in vitro cultured HCECs derived from a HCE cell line were treated with BAK (0.001% and 0.005%, diluted in DMEM/F12, v/v) for 15 min, washed with 1xPBS, and allowed to recover for 24 h in human bone marrow MSC-derived conditioned medium (MSC-CM: undiluted (100%) and diluted (50%, v/v)). On the other hand, HCECs were co-incubated with BAK (0.005%, v/v) and MSC-CM (100% and 50%, v/v) for 24 h. The HCEC-derived conditioned medium (HCE-CM) was used as an optimal control for MSC-CM, whereas HCECs cultured in DMEM/F12 were used as a control. The DMEM/F12 was used as the base medium for the culture of HCECs and preparation of HCE- and MSC-CM. The role of MSC-CM in modulating the metabolic activity, cell death, epithelial repair, and proliferation, in BAK-treated HCECs was evaluated using MTT assay, Propidium iodide staining, scratch assay, and Ki-67 staining, respectively.
RESULTS: Compared to the control, recovery of BAK-treated (0.001% and 0.005%, for 15 min) HCECs in MSC-CM showed significantly reduced cell death with enhanced metabolic activity, epithelial repair, and proliferation. However, in comparison with HCE-CM, the beneficial effects of MSC-CM were predominantly observed at lower BAK concentration (0.001%, for 15 min). Whereas the co-incubation of BAK (0.005%) and MSC-CM for a longer duration (24 h) was marginally beneficial.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the MSC-CM is effective in modulating the BAK-induced cell death, retardation of metabolic activity and proliferation in cultured HCECs, particularly at lower concentration (0.001%) and shorter exposure (15 min) of BAK.
