Altered microRNA expression profile in exosomes during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

ABSTRACT: The physiological role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in osteoblast differentiation remains elusive. Exosomal miRNAs isolated from human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) culture were profiled using miRNA arrays containing probes for 894 human matured miRNAs. Seventy-nine miRNAs (?8.84%) could be detected in exosomes isolated from BMSC culture supernatants when normalized to endogenous control genes RNU44. Among them, nine exosomal miRNAs were up regulated and 4 miRNAs were under regulated significantly (Relative fold>2, p<0.05) when compared with the values at 0 day with maximum changes at 1 to 7 days. Five miRNAs (miR-199b, miR-218, miR-148a, miR-135b, and miR-221) were further validated and differentially expressed in the individual exosomal samples from hBMSCs cultured at different time points. Bioinformatic analysis by DIANA-mirPath demonstrated that RNA degradation, mRNA surveillance pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, RNA transport were the most prominent pathways enriched in quantiles with differential exosomal miRNA patterns related to osteogenic differentiation. These data demonstrated exosomal miRNA is a regulator of osteoblast differentiation.

Project description:BackgroundPeriodontal tissue regeneration is the ultimate goal of periodontitis treatment. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles secreted by cells that participate in and regulate the physiological activities between cells. However, the relationship between inflammatory macrophage-derived exosomes and osteoblast differentiation in periodontitis has not been thoroughly reported. Here, we attempt to explore the role of inflammatory macrophage-derived exosomes in crosstalk with osteoblasts.MethodsPorphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide was used to stimulate macrophages and inflate their inflammatory cellular state. Exosomes were extracted from inflammatory macrophages using supercentrifugation, and their characteristics were detected by transmission electron microscopy, particle size analysis, and Western blotting. Exosome uptake bybone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The effects of exosomes on the BMSC inflammatory response and on osteogenic differentiation were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Alkaline phosphatase activity was tested for verification.ResultsWe successfully extracted and identified inflammatory macrophage-derived exosomes and observed that BMSCs successfully took up exosomes. Inflammatory macrophage-derived exosomes upregulated the expression levels of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha in BMSCs and mediated inflammatory stimulation. Additionally, they inhibited the transcription levels of the osteogenic genes alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, and Runt-related transcription factor 2 as well as the alkaline phosphatase activity, while the use of the exosome inhibitor GW4869 attenuated this effect.ConclusionOur study shows that macrophages in periodontitis can mediate inflammatory stimulation and inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through the exosome pathway. Interference with exosome secretion is likely to be a promising method for bone tissue regeneration in inflammatory states.

Project description:Silica nonwoven fabrics (SNFs) with enough mechanical strength are candidates as implantable scaffolds. Culture of cells therein is expected to affect the proliferation and differentiation of the cells through cell-cell and cell-SNF interactions. In this study, we examined three-dimensional (3D) SNFs as a scaffold of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone tissue engineering applications. The interconnected highly porous microstructure of 3D SNFs is expected to allow omnidirectional cell-cell interactions, and the morphological similarity of a silica nanofiber to that of a fibrous extracellular matrix can contribute to the promotion of cell functions. 3D SNFs were prepared by the sol-gel process, and their mechanical properties were characterized by the compression test and rheological analysis. In the compression test, SNFs showed a compressive elastic modulus of over 1 MPa and a compressive strength of about 200 kPa. These values are higher than those of porous polystyrene disks used for in vitro 3D cell culture. In rheological analysis, the elastic modulus and fracture stress were 3.27 ± 0.54 kPa and 25.9 ± 8.3 Pa, respectively. Then, human bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured on SNFs, and the effects on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. The MSCs seeded on SNF proliferated, and the thickness of the cell layer became over 80 μm after 14 days of culture. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs on SNFs was induced by the culture in the commercial osteogenic differentiation medium. The alkaline phosphatase activity of MSCs on SNFs increased rapidly and remained high up to 14 days and was much higher than that on two-dimensional tissue culture-treated polystyrene. The high expression of RUNX2 and intense staining by alizarin red s after differentiation supported that SNFs enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, permeation analysis of SNFs using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran suggested a sufficient permeability of SNFs for oxygen, minerals, nutrients, and secretions, which is important for maintaining the cell viability and vitality. These results suggested that SNFs are promising scaffolds for the regeneration of bone defects using MSCs, originated from highly porous and elastic SNF characters.

Project description:Background and Aims: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in hepatocyte differentiation from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and the therapeutic application in vivo. However, the mechanisms of miRNA regulation are still unknown. This study aimed to profile the miRNA basis for improving the function of hBMSC-differentiated hepatocyte-like cells (hBMSC-Heps). Methods: Characteristic miRNAs of hBMSC-Heps were identified by transcriptome sequencing and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). An in vivo hBMSC transplantation model was used to assess the regulatory effects of miRNAs on liver regeneration during hBMSC therapy in pigs with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). The biological functions of significant miRNA molecules were confirmed by transfection of miRNA activators or inhibitors into hBMSCs during hepatogenic differentiation. Results: The transcriptome of hBMSC-Heps showed characteristics distinct from those of undifferentiated hBMSCs. A total of 77 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in hBMSC-Heps at day 10 and day 20 after hBMSC differentiation that were directly related to the functions of hepatocytes. Among the top 10 significantly differentially expressed and the top 10 most abundant miRNAs, nine miRNAs that exhibited a pattern of gradual change were chosen for further analysis. The expression of nine miRNAs was confirmed by qRT-PCR in vitro and showed the same changing trends in vivo in an hBMSC transplantation model in pigs. Functional experiments with these miRNAs showed that activators of hsa-miR-26b-5p and hsa-miR-148a-3p and an inhibitor of hsa-miR-423-3p were sufficient to improve the differentiation of hBMSCs into hepatocyte-like cells. Conclusions: Transcriptome profiles of miRNA revealed the basis of the differentiation and development of hBMSC-Heps. Manipulation of three miRNAs (hsa-miR-26b-5p, hsa-miR-148a-3p and hsa-miR-423-3p) significantly improved hepatocyte generation and liver regeneration, indicating the potential of these miRNAs for future clinical applications.
