IL-17 alters the mesenchymal stem cell niche towards osteogenesis in cooperation with osteocytes.

ABSTRACT: Bone remodeling is a strictly regulated dynamic process that cycles between bone formation and resorption, and interleukin-17 (IL-17) critically orchestrates the activation and differentiation of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within their native environment receive biochemical stimuli from surrounding cells that influences their differentiation into bone precursors, while the roles of osteocytes in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs remain unclear. This study investigated the specific roles of IL-17 signaling cascades and osteocyte-specific pathways in the osteogenesis of MSCs. Using a transwell coculture (CC) system, we explored the effects of osteocytes and osteoblasts on the osteogenesis of MSCs with and without IL-17 supplementation. A polycaprolactone (PCL) three-dimensional (3D) culture model was used to evaluate their osteogenic potential in the presence of osteocytes and IL-17. Notably, IL-17 induced osteogenesis in MSCs, which could be attenuated by blocking IL-17 receptor A. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs promoted by IL-17 was further enhanced by CC with osteocytes. Moreover, proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1? played an important role in IL-17-dependent differentiation, via the phosphorylation of AKT, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 signaling pathways in the MSC niche. The present study confirms a synergistic effect of osteocytes and IL-17 in the production of biochemical signals to stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, which could be further promoted in the PCL 3D-scaffold. These findings provide important insight into the mechanisms of MSCs activation and osteogenic differentiation within the native stem cell niche, and suggest a possible role of IL-17 in bone tissue engineering.

Project description:The immunomodulatory and self-renewable features of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) mark their importance in regenerative medicine. Interleukin 23 (IL- 23) as a proinflammatory cytokine suppresses T regulatory cells (Treg) and promotes the response of T helper 17 (Th17) and T helper 1 (Th1) cells. This pathway starts inflammation and immunosuppression in several autoimmune diseases. The current study for producing recombinant IL- 23 decoy receptor (RIL- 23R) using hAD-MSCs as a good candidate for ex vivo cell-based gene therapy purposes reducing inflammation in autoimmune diseases. hAD-MSCs was isolated from lipoaspirate and then characterized by differentiation. RIL- 23R was designed and cloned into a pCDH-813A- 1 lentiviral vector. The transduction of hAD-MSCs was performed at MOI (multiplicity of infection) = 50 with pCDH- EFI ?- RIL- 23R- PGK copGFP. Expressions of RIL- 23R and octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT- 4) were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real time-PCR). Self-renewing properties were assayed with OCT- 4. Bioactivity of the designed RIL- 23R was evaluated by IL- 17 and IL- 10 expression of mouse splenocytes. Cell differentiation confirmed the true isolation of hAD-MSCs from lipoaspirate. Restriction of the enzyme digestion and sequencing verified the successful cloning of RIL- 23R in the CD813A-1 lentiviral vector. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) positive transduction rate was up to 90%, and real-time PCR showed the expression level of RIL-23R. Oct-4 had a similar expression pattern with nontransduced hAD-MSCs and transduced hAD-MSCs/ RIL-23R indicating that lentiviral vector did not affect hAD-MSCs characteristics. Downregulation of IL-17 and upregulation of IL-10 showed the correct activity of the engineered hAD-MSCs. The results showed that the transduced hAD-MSCs/ RIL- 23R, expressing IL-23 decoy receptor, can give a useful approach for a basic research on cell-based gene therapy for autoimmune disorders.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Microtextured titanium (Ti) induces osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenous osteogenic factors; and high-energy surface modifications speed healing of microrough Ti implants. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is used clinically to improve peri-implant bone formation and osseointegration but can cause inflammation and bone-related complications. In this study, we determined whether BMP2 alters human MSC differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory factor production when grown on Ti implants with different surface properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Human MSCs were cultured on Ti substrates (smooth [PT], sandblasted acid-etched [SLA], hydrophilic-SLA [modSLA]), or tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). After 7 days, inflammatory mRNAs were measured by polymerase chain reaction array. In addition, 7-day cultures were treated with exogenous BMP2 and osteogenic differentiation and production of local factors, proinflammatory interleukins, and anti-inflammatory interleukins assessed. Finally, osteogenic markers and interleukins were measured in MSCs cultured for 48?h on BMP2 dip-coated SLA and modSLA surfaces. RESULTS:Expression of interleukins, chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors was affected by surface properties, particularly on modSLA. MSCs on Ti produced fewer resorptive and more osteogenic/anti-inflammatory factors than cells on TCPS. Addition of 100?ng/mL BMP2 not only increased differentiation but also increased proinflammatory and decreased anti-inflammatory/antiresorptive factors. Two hundred nanograms per milliliter BMP2 abolished osteogenesis and dramatically increased pro-osteoclastogenic factors. MSCs cultured on BMP2-dip-coated disks produced similar proinflammatory profiles with inhibited osteogenic differentiation and had increased apoptotic markers at the highest doses. CONCLUSIONS:MSCs underwent osteogenesis and regulated inflammatory cytokines on microtextured Ti. Exogenous BMP2 inhibited MSC differentiation and stimulated a dose-dependent proinflammatory and apoptotic response. Use of BMP2 with microtextured metal implants may increase inflammation and possibly delay bone formation dependent on dose, suggesting that application of BMP2 clinically during implant insertion may need to be reevaluated.

Project description:The spondylarthritides (SpA) are intimately linked to new bone formation and IL-17A and TNF pathways. We investigated spinal soft tissue and bone mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) responses to IL-17A and TNF, including their osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and stromal supportive function and ability to support lymphocyte recruitment. Normal spinal peri-entheseal bone (PEB) and entheseal soft tissue (EST) were characterized for MSCs by immunophenotypic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation criteria. Functional and gene transcriptomic analysis was carried out on undifferentiated, adipo- differentiated, and osteo-differentiated MSCs. The enthesis C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 20-C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 6 (CCL20-CCR6) axis was investigated at transcript and protein levels to ascertain whether entheseal MSCs influence local immune cell populations. Cultured MSCs from both PEB and EST displayed a tri-lineage differentiation ability. EST MSCs exhibited 4.9-fold greater adipogenesis (p < 0.001) and a 3-fold lower osteogenic capacity (p < 0.05). IL-17A induced greater osteogenesis in PEB MSCs compared to EST MSCs. IL-17A suppressed adipogenic differentiation, with a significant decrease in fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), Cell Death Inducing DFFA Like Effector C (CIDEC), and Perilipin-1 (PLIN1). IL-17A significantly increased the CCL20 transcript (p < 0.01) and protein expression (p < 0.001) in MSCs supporting a role in type 17 lymphocyte recruitment. Normal spinal enthesis harbors resident MSCs with different in vitro functionalities in bone and soft tissue, especially in response to IL-17A, which enhanced osteogenesis and CCL20 production and reduced adipogenesis compared to unstimulated MSCs. This MSC-stromal-enthesis immune system may be a hitherto unappreciated mechanism of "fine tuning" tissue repair responses at the enthesis in health and could be relevant for SpA understanding.

Project description:PurposeWe investigated whether human limbal niche cells generate mesenchymal stem cells.MethodsLimbal niche cells were isolated from the limbal stroma by collagenase alone or following dispase removal of the limbal epithelium (D/C), and cultured on plastic in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), or coated or three-dimensional Matrigel in embryonic stem cell medium with leukemia inhibitory factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. Expression of cell markers, colony-forming units-fibroblast, tri-lineage differentiation, and ability of supporting limbal epithelial stem/progenitor cells were compared to limbal residual stromal cells.ResultsStromal cells expressing angiogenesis markers were found perivascularly, subjacent to limbal basal epithelial cells, and in D/C and limbal residual stromal cells. When seeded in three-dimensional Matrigel, D/C but not limbal residual stromal cells yielded spheres of angiogenesis progenitors that stabilized vascular networks. Similar to collagenase-isolated cells, D/C cells could be expanded on coated Matrigel for more than 12 passages, yielding spindle cells expressing angiogenesis and mesenchymal stem cells markers, and possessing significantly higher colony-forming units-fibroblast and more efficient tri-lineage differentiation than D/C and limbal residual stromal cells expanded on plastic in DMEM with 10% FBS, of which both lost the pericyte phenotype while limbal residual stromal cells turned into myofibroblasts. Upon reunion with limbal epithelial stem/progenitor cells to form spheres, D/C cells expanded on coated Matrigel maintained higher expression of p63? and lower expression of cytokeratin 12 than those expanded on plastic in DMEM with 10% FBS, while spheres formed with human corneal fibroblasts expressed cytokeratin 12 without p63?.ConclusionsIn the limbal stroma, cells subjacent to limbal basal epithelial cells serve as niche cells, and generate progenitors with angiogenesis and mesenchymal stem cells potentials. They might partake in angiogenesis and regeneration during corneal wound healing.
