Exosomes derived from miR-375-overexpressing human adipose mesenchymal stem cells promote bone regeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The present study aimed to investigate whether exosomes derived from miR-375-overexpressing human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) could enhance bone regeneration.

Materials and methods

Exosomes enriched with miR-375 (Exo [miR-375]) were generated from hASCs stably overexpressing miR-375 after lentiviral transfection and identified with transmission electron microscopy, nanosight and western blotting. The construction efficiency of Exo (miR-375) was evaluated with qRT-PCR and incubated with human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) to optimize the effective dosage. Then, the osteogenic capability of Exo (miR-375) was investigated with ALP and ARS assays. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blotting were conducted to reveal the underlying mechanism of miR-375 in osteogenic regulation. Finally, Exo (miR-375) were embedded with hydrogel and applied to a rat model of calvarial defect, and ?-CT analysis and histological examination were conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Exo (miR-375) in bone regeneration.

Results

miR-375 could be enriched in exosomes by overexpressing in the parent cells. Administration of Exo (miR-375) at 50 ?g/mL improved the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. With miR-375 absorbed by hBMSCs, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) was inhibited by binding to its 3'UTR, and recombinant IGFBP3 protein reduced the osteogenic effects triggered by Exo (miR-375). After incorporated with hydrogel, Exo (miR-375) displayed a slow and controlled release, and further in vivo analysis demonstrated that Exo (miR-375) enhanced the bone regenerative capacity in a rat model of calvarial defect.

Conclusions

Taken together, our study demonstrated that exosomes derived from miR-375-overexpressing hASCs promoted bone regeneration.

Project description:PurposeHuman corneal endothelial cells (hCECs) have been considered unable to regenerate in vivo, resulting in corneal decompensation after significant loss of hCECs. adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ASC)-derived exosomes can regenerate tissues and organs. In this study, we investigated whether ASC-derived exosomes could protect and regenerate CECs.MethodsWe performed cell viability and cell-cycle analyses to evaluate the effect of ASC-derived exosomes on the regeneration capacity of cultured hCECs. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were used to induce biological stress in CECs. The effect of ASC-derived exosomes on CECs was investigated in vivo. ASC-derived exosomes were introduced into rat CECs using electroporation, and rat corneas were injured using cryoinjury. Next-generation sequencing analysis was performed to compare the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) between ASC-derived and hCEC-derived exosomes.ResultsASC-derived exosomes induced CEC proliferation and suppressed TGF-β- or H2O2-induced oxidative stress and senescence. ASC-derived exosomes protect hCECs against TGF-β- or H2O2-induced endothelial-mesenchymal transition and mitophagy. In an in vivo study, ASC-derived exosomes promoted wound healing of rat CECs and protected the corneal endothelium against cryoinjury-induced corneal endothelium damage. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed differentially expressed miRNAs for ASC-derived and hCEC-derived exosomes. They are involved in lysine degradation, adherens junction, the TGF-β signaling pathway, the p53 signaling pathway, the Hippo signaling pathway, the forkhead box O (FoxO) signaling pathway, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and RNA degradation based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis.ConclusionsASC-derived exosomes promoted wound healing and regeneration of endothelial cells by inducing a shift in the cell cycle and suppressing senescence and autophagy.

Project description:BackgroundSufficient vascular network plays an important role in the repair of bone defects. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) being a key regulator of angiogenesis has attracted the attention of researchers. In addition, evidence has suggested that BMP2 coordinates with microRNAs (miRNAs) to form intracellular networks regulating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) angiogenesis. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms that are regulating adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) angiogenesis might provide more effective method to enhance bone regeneration.MethodsWe identified the specific miRNA in rat ADSCs during BMP2-induced angiogenesis and chose the most significant differentially expressed miRNA, miR-672. Three lentiviral system named Lenti-miR-672, Lenti-as-miR-672, and Lenti-miR-NC were transduced into the ADSCs individually. Then, the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting, and blood vessel formation analysis were performed to investigate the effects of miR-672 on ADSCs angiogenesis. Bioinformation platforms were used to screen the potential target of miR-672. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against TIMP2 (si-TIMP2) mRNA were obtained from GenePharma, and then si-TIMP2 miRNA and miR-672 were co-transfected into ADSCs to detect the effects of TIMP2 on angiogenesis. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds that seeded the lentiviral-modified ADSCs were constructed to test the vascularized bone regeneration in vivo.ResultsOur data showed that after the angiogenesis of ADSCs induced by BMP2, miR-672 was the most significantly upregulated miRNA. Overexpression of miR-672 promoted the angiogenesis of ADSCs, while knockdown of miR-672 repressed the angiogenesis of ADSCs. The bioinformation prediction showed that TIMP2 might be the one of miR-672' potential targets. TIMP2 protein expression was gradually decreased in ADSCs with overexpressed miR-672. And the angiogenic factors were upregulated in the ADSCs which were transduced with si-TIMP2. Then, the CPC scaffolds coupled the miR-672-modified ADSCs and showed the good potential in vascularized bone regeneration. The overexpressed miR-672 could greatly enhance the blood vessel volume and Microfil-labeled blood vessel numbers in newly formed bone.ConclusionBMP2 could promote the angiogenesis of ADSCs through stimulating the expression of miR-672 in ADSCs. miR-672 acted as a positive regulator on the angiogenesis of ADSCs, and incorporating the miR-672-modified ADSCs in the CPC could significantly promote the vascularization and the bone regeneration.

Project description:Graft healing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) involves slow biological processes, and various types of biological modulations have been explored to promote tendon-to-bone integration. Exosomes have been extensively studied as a promising new cell-free strategy for tissue regeneration, but few studies have reported their potential in tendon-to-bone healing. In this study, a novel type of exosome derived from magnetically actuated (iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) combined with a magnetic field) bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) (IONP-Exos) was developed, and the primary purpose of this study was to determine whether IONP-Exos exert more significant effects on tendon-to-bone healing than normal BMSC-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos). Here, we isolated and characterized the two types of exosomes, conducted in vitro experiments to measure their effects on fibroblasts (NIH3T3), and performed in vivo experiments to compare the effects on tendon-to-bone integration. Moreover, functional exploration of exosomal miRNAs was further performed by utilizing a series of gain- and loss-of-function experiments. Experimental results showed that both BMSC-Exos and IONP-Exos could be shuttled intercellularly into NIH3T3 fibroblasts and enhanced fibroblast activity, including proliferation, migration, and fibrogenesis. In vivo, we found that IONP-Exos significantly prevented peri-tunnel bone loss, promoted more osseous ingrowth into the tendon graft, increased fibrocartilage formation at the tendon-bone tunnel interface, and induced a higher maximum load to failure than BMSC-Exos. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-21-5p remarkably enhanced fibrogenesis in vitro, and SMAD7 was shown to be involved in the promotive effect of IONP-Exos on tendon-to-bone healing. Our findings may provide new insights into the regulatory roles of IONPs in IONP-Exos communication via stimulating exosomal miR-21-5p secretion and the SMAD7 signaling pathway in the fibrogenic process of tendon-to-bone integration. This work could provide a new strategy to promote tendon-to-bone healing for tissue engineering in the future.
