MSC-Derived Exosomes Protect Vertebral Endplate Chondrocytes against Apoptosis and Calcification via the miR-31-5p/ATF6 Axis.


ABSTRACT: Apoptosis and calcification of endplate chondrocytes (EPCs) can exacerbate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exosomes) are reported to have the therapeutic potential in IVDD. However, the effects and related mechanisms of MSC-exosomes on EPCs are still unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of MSC-exosomes on EPCs with a tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced oxidative stress cell model and IVDD rat model. First, our study revealed that TBHP could result in apoptosis and calcification of EPCs, and MSC-exosomes could inhibit the detrimental effects. We also found that these protective effects were inhibited after miroRNA (miR)-31-5p levels were downregulated in MSC-exosomes. The target relationship between miR-31-5p and ATF6 was tested. miR-31-5p negatively regulated ATF6-related endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inhibited apoptosis and calcification in EPCs. Our in vivo experiments indicated that sub-endplate injection of MSC-exosomes can ameliorate IVDD; however, after miR-31-5p levels were downregulated in MSC-exosomes, these protective effects were inhibited. In conclusion, MSC-exosomes reduced apoptosis and calcification in EPCs, and the underlying mechanism may be related to miR-31-5p/ATF6/ER stress pathway regulation.
