M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-486-5p influences the differentiation potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An imbalance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) can cause osteoporosis. Macrophage-derived exosomes (MD-Exos) and microRNAs (miRNAs) enriched in exosomes participate in the differentiation of BMMSCs.

Methods

Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze differentially expressed miRNAs. We cocultured M2 macrophages and BMMSCs to examine the biological function of exosomal microRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) on BMMSCs differentiation. Gain-of-function experiments related to osteogenesis were designed to investigate the effects of exosomes carrying miR-486-5p on an ovariectomized (OVX) mice model and the direct impact of miR-486-5p on BMMSCs. A dual luciferase experiment was performed to demonstrate the target gene of miR-486-5p.

Results

Bioinformatics analysis identified high expression of miRNA-486 in M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2D-Exos). The in vitro results demonstrated that M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-486-5p enhanced osteogenic capacity but inhibited the adipogenesis of BMMSCs. The direct effect of miR-486-5p on BMMSCs showed the same effects. Animal experiments revealed that exosomal miR-486-5p rescued bone loss of OVX mice. SMAD2 was characterized as a target gene of miR-486-5p. Pathway analysis showed that M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-486-5p stimulated osteogenic differentiation via the TGF-β/SMAD2 signalling pathway.

Conclusions

Taken together, M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-486-5p influences the differentiation potential of BMMSCs through the miR-486-5p/SMAD2/TGF-β signalling pathway and osteoporosis.

Project description:BackgroundAs one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, osteoporosis occurs especially in postmenopausal women. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as major drivers in human disease. The aim of the present study was to analyse circRNA expression profiles in osteoporosis and to explore the clinical significance and the regulatory molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0006859 during osteoporosis.MethodsExosomes were isolated from clinically collected serum samples. A circRNA microarray was performed to screen differentially expressed circRNAs. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot were performed to analyse target gene mRNA expression and protein expression. Alizarin red staining (ARS) was performed to evaluate the mineralization ability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Oil Red O staining was performed to evaluate the lipid droplet formation ability of hBMSCs. Bioinformatics analysis and the luciferase reporter assay were performed to investigate the interaction between two genes.ResultsHsa_circ_0006859 was identified as one of the most upregulated circRNAs in the microarray analysis. Hsa_circ_0006859 in exosomes was upregulated in osteoporosis patients compared to healthy controls. Hsa_circ_0006859 differentiated osteopenia or osteoporosis patients from healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteoblastic differentiation and promoted adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Hsa_circ_0006859 directly bound to miR-431-5p, and ROCK1 was identified as a novel target gene of miR-431-5p. Hsa_circ_0006859 is a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-431-5p that promotes ROCK1 expression. Hsa_circ_0006859 suppressed osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis by sponging miR-431-5p to upregulate ROCK1.ConclusionsExosomal hsa_circ_0006859 is a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis and controls the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in hBMSCs by sponging miR-431-5p.

Project description:BackgroundExosomes carrying micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) protect against myocardial ischemic injury. In the study, we sought to investigate the protective effect mechanism of M2 macrophage-derived exosome miR-145-5p in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes.MethodsM2 macrophages were isolated and induced from blood donated by healthy donors. M2 macrophages were transfected with or without miR-145-5p. Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages were isolated and identified by flow cytometry, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). AC16 cells were used to establish an H/R model, and cell activity was detected using a Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8). Western blot was used to detect the expression of gasdermin D (GSDMD), nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), and caspase-1 in the H/R-induced AC16 cells to evaluate pyroptosis. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the positive rates of PKH26 and caspase-1. Combined with database prediction, dual luciferase reporter assays were used to validate toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) as a downstream target molecule of miR-145-5p. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis and western blot were used to detect the expression of TLR4 in the AC16 cells.ResultsFlow cytometry, western blot, nanoparticle tracking and TEM results confirmed the successful isolation of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes. CCK-8 results showed M2 macrophage-derived exosomes decreased the viability of the H/R-induced cells. Western blot results showed the expressions of GSDMD, caspase-1, and NLRP3 were significantly downregulated in the H/R group. Moreover, CCK-8 results showed the M2 macrophage-derived exosome miR-145-5p significantly ameliorated H/R-induced AC16 cellular activity. Western blot results confirmed the expressions of GSDMD, NLRP3, and caspase-1 were significantly downregulated in the macrophage-derived exosome miR-145-5p group compared to the M2 macrophage-derived exosome NC (normal control) group. Immunofluorescence staining results displayed the same trend in terms of the caspase-1 positivity rate. Further, we demonstrated overexpression of TLR4 partially reversed the protective effect of M2 macrophage-derived exosome miR-145-5p in the H/R-induced AC16 cells. Additionally, overexpression of TLR4 reversed the protein expression associated with pyroptosis in M2 macrophage-derived exosome miR-145-5p in the H/R-induced AC16 cells.ConclusionsOur study indicated M2 macrophage-derived exosomes carrying miR-145-5p inhibited H/R-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis by downregulating the expression of TLR4.
