Trb3 controls mesenchymal stem cell lineage fate and enhances bone regeneration by scaffold-mediated local gene delivery.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant lineage commitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in marrow contributes to abnormal bone formation due to reduced osteogenic and increased adipogenic potency. While several major transcriptional factors associated with lineage differentiation have been found during the last few decades, the molecular switch for MSC fate determination and its role in skeletal regeneration remains largely unknown, limiting creation of effective therapeutic approaches. Tribbles homolog 3 (Trb3), a member of tribbles family pseudokinases, is known to exert diverse roles in cellular differentiation. Here, we investigated the reciprocal role of Trb3 in the regulation of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of MSCs in the context of bone formation, and examined the mechanisms by which Trb3 controls the adipo-osteogenic balance. Trb3 promoted osteoblastic commitment of MSCs at the expense of adipocyte differentiation. Mechanistically, Trb3 regulated cell-fate choice of MSCs through BMP/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin signals. Importantly, in vivo local delivery of Trb3 using a novel gelatin-conjugated caffeic acid-coated apatite/PLGA (GelCA-PLGA) scaffold stimulated robust bone regeneration and inhibited fat-filled cyst formation in rodent non-healing mandibular defect models. These findings demonstrate Trb3-based therapeutic strategies that favor osteoblastogenesis over adipogenesis for improved skeletal regeneration and future treatment of bone-loss disease. The distinctive approach implementing a scaffold-mediated local gene transfer may further broaden the translational use of targeting specific therapeutic gene related to lineage commitment for clinical bone treatment.

Delivery of monocyte lineage cells in a biomimetic scaffold enhances tissue repair.

Project description:The monocyte lineage is essential to normal wound healing. Macrophage inhibition or knockout in mice results in impaired wound healing through reduced neovascularization, granulation tissue formation, and reepithelialization. Numerous studies have either depleted macrophages or reduced their activity in the context of wound healing. Here, we demonstrate that by increasing the number of macrophages or monocytes in the wound site above physiologic levels via pullulan-collagen composite dermal hydrogel scaffold delivery, the rate of wound healing can be significantly accelerated in both wild-type and diabetic mice, with no adverse effect on the quality of repair. Macrophages transplanted onto wounds differentiate into M1 and M2 phenotypes of different proportions at various time points, ultimately increasing angiogenesis. Given that monocytes can be readily isolated from peripheral blood without in vitro manipulation, these findings hold promise for translational medicine aimed at accelerating wound healing across a broad spectrum of diseases.

A biomimetic and bioactive scaffold with intelligently pulsatile teriparatide delivery for local and systemic osteoporosis regeneration.

Project description:Osteoporosis is one of the most disabling consequences of aging, osteoporotic fractures and higher risk of the subsequent fractures leading to substantial disability and deaths, indicating both local fractures healing and the early anti-osteoporosis therapy are of great significance. Teriparatide is strong bone formation promoter effective in treating osteoporosis, while side effects limit clinical applications. Traditional drug delivery is lack of sensitive and short-term release, finding a new non-invasive and easily controllable drug delivery to not only repair the local fractures but also improve total bone mass has remained a great challenge. Thus, bioinspired by the natural bone components, we develop appropriate interactions between inorganic biological scaffolds and organic drug molecules, achieving both loaded with the teriparatide in the scaffold and capable of releasing on demand. Herein, biomimetic bone microstructure of mesoporous bioglass, a near-infrared ray triggered switch, thermosensitive liposomes based on a valve, and polydopamine coated as a heater is developed rationally for osteoporotic bone regeneration. Teriparatide is pulsatile released from intelligent delivery, not only rejuvenating osteoporotic bone defect, but also presenting strong systemic anti-osteoporosis therapy. This biomimetic bone carrying novel drug delivery platform is well worth expecting to be a new promising strategy and clinically commercialized to help patients survive from the osteoporotic fracture.

Naringin-inlaid silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold enhances human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell-based bone regeneration.

Project description:ObjectivesLarge bone defects are a common, debilitating clinical condition that have substantial global health and economic burden. Bone tissue engineering technology has become one of the most promising approaches for regenerating defective bones. In this study, we fabricated a naringin-inlaid composite silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite (NG/SF/HAp) scaffold to repair bone defects.Materials and methodsThe salt-leaching technology was used to fabricate the NG/SF/HAp scaffold. The cytocompatibility of the NG/SF/HAp scaffold was assessed using scanning electron microscopy, live/dead cell staining and phalloidin staining. The osteogenic and angiogenic properties were assessed in vitro and in vivo.ResultsThe porous NG/SF/HAp scaffold had a well-designed biomimetic porous structure with osteoinductive and angiogenic activities. A gene microarray identified 854 differentially expressed genes between human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) cultured on SF-nHAp scaffolds and cells cultured on NG/SF/HAp scaffolds. The underlying osteoblastic mechanism was investigated using hUCMSCs in vitro. Naringin facilitated hUCMSC ingrowth into the SF/HAp scaffold and promoted osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of cells cultured in the NG/SF/HAp scaffold were superior to those of cells cultured in the SF/HAp scaffold.ConclusionsThe data indicate the potential of the SF/HAp composite scaffold incorporating naringin for bone regeneration.

Thermoresponsive Citrate-Based Graphene Oxide Scaffold Enhances Bone Regeneration from BMP9-Stimulated Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Project description:Effective bone tissue engineering is important to overcome the unmet clinical challenges as more than 1.6 million bone grafts are done annually in the United States. Successful bone tissue engineering needs minimally three critical constituents: osteoprogenitor cells, osteogenic factors, and osteoinductive/osteoconductive scaffolds. Osteogenic progenitors are derived from multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be prepared from numerous tissue sources, including adipose tissue. We previously showed that BMP9 is the most osteogenic BMP and induces robust bone formation of immortalized mouse adipose-derived MSCs entrapped in a citrate-based thermoresponsive hydrogel referred to as PPCNg. As graphene and its derivatives emerge as promising biomaterials, here we develop a novel thermosensitive and injectable hybrid material by combining graphene oxide (GO) with PPCNg (designated as GO-P) and characterize its ability to promote bone formation. We demonstrate that the thermoresponsive behavior of the hybrid material is maintained while effectively supporting MSC survival and proliferation. Furthermore, GO-P induces early bone-forming marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and potentiates BMP9-induced expression of osteogenic regulators and bone markers as well as angiogenic factor VEGF in MSCs. In vivo studies show BMP9-transduced MSCs entrapped in the GO-P scaffold form well-mineralized and highly vascularized trabecular bone. Thus, these results indicate that GO-P hybrid material may function as a new biocompatible, injectable scaffold with osteoinductive and osteoconductive activities for bone regeneration.

Mesenchymal stem cell delivery routes and fate.

Project description:MSC have been used in diverse animal disease models to investigate their regenerative capacity. Although the clinical outcome was often encouraging, the mode of action of the cells remains unresolved. Differentiation of MSC into cell types of their target organs was only rarely shown, with the exception of the musculoskeletal system. Thus, the effect of the cells on the clinical outcome in several disease models of tissue degeneration must be independent of trans-differentiation and caused by indirect or paracrine effects. Furthermore, tracking of the cells in vivo revealed that only a small proportion of the cells home and persists in the target sites, and that most of the cells are not detectable after 7?14 days post transplantation. It seems that MSC can deliver a profound clinical effect without trans-differentiation, without homing to target organs in significant numbers and despite the cell's disappearance within short periods of time. These finding also suggest that the full potency of MSC has not yet been exploited in the current applications. Here we will provide an overview of the different routes used for cell delivery and the fate of the cells after transplantation. The effects on clinical outcome are discussed with respect to the role cell entrapment in non-target organs may play for the observed clinical effects.

Local lung hypoxia determines epithelial fate decisions during alveolar regeneration.

Project description:After influenza infection, lineage-negative epithelial progenitors (LNEPs) exhibit a binary response to reconstitute epithelial barriers: activating a Notch-dependent ΔNp63/cytokeratin 5 (Krt5) remodelling program or differentiating into alveolar type II cells (AEC2s). Here we show that local lung hypoxia, through hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1α), drives Notch signalling and Krt5pos basal-like cell expansion. Single-cell transcriptional profiling of human AEC2s from fibrotic lungs revealed a hypoxic subpopulation with activated Notch, suppressed surfactant protein C (SPC), and transdifferentiation toward a Krt5pos basal-like state. Activated murine Krt5pos LNEPs and diseased human AEC2s upregulate strikingly similar core pathways underlying migration and squamous metaplasia. While robust, HIF1α-driven metaplasia is ultimately inferior to AEC2 reconstitution in restoring normal lung function. HIF1α deletion or enhanced Wnt/β-catenin activity in Sox2pos LNEPs blocks Notch and Krt5 activation, instead promoting rapid AEC2 differentiation and migration and improving the quality of alveolar repair.

Sustained local delivery of siRNA from an injectable scaffold.

Project description:Controlled gene silencing technologies have significant, unrealized potential for use in tissue regeneration applications. The design described herein provides a means to package and protect siRNA within pH-responsive, endosomolytic micellar nanoparticles (si-NPs) that can be incorporated into nontoxic, biodegradable, and injectable polyurethane (PUR) tissue scaffolds. The si-NPs were homogeneously incorporated throughout the porous PUR scaffolds, and they were shown to be released via a diffusion-based mechanism for over three weeks. The siRNA-loaded micelles were larger but retained nanoparticulate morphology of approximately 100 nm diameter following incorporation into and release from the scaffolds. PUR scaffold releasate collected in vitro in PBS at 37 °C for 1-4 days was able to achieve dose-dependent siRNA-mediated silencing with approximately 50% silencing achieved of the model gene GAPDH in NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts. This promising platform technology provides both a research tool capable of probing the effects of local gene silencing and a potentially high-impact therapeutic approach for sustained, local silencing of deleterious genes within tissue defects.

Optogenetic control of mesenchymal cell fate towards precise bone regeneration.

Project description:Rationale: Spatial-temporal control of cell fate in vivo is of great importance for regenerative medicine. Currently, there remain no practical strategies to tune cell-fate spatial-temporally. Optogenetics is a biological technique that widely used to control cell activity in genetically defined neurons in a spatiotemporal-specific manner by light. In this study, optogenetics was repurposed for precise bone tissue regeneration. Methods: Lhx8 and BMP2 genes, which are considered as the master genes for mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation respectively, were recombined into a customized optogenetic control system. In the system, Lhx8 was constitutively expressed, while BMP2 together with shLhx8 expression was driven by blue light. Results: As expected, blue light induced BMP2 expression and inactivated Lhx8 expression in cells infected with the optogenetic control system. Optogenetic control of BMP2 and Lhx8 expression inversely regulates MSC fate in vitro. By animal study, we found that blue light could fine-tune the regeneration in vivo. Blue light illumination significantly promotes bone regeneration when the scaffold was loaded with MSCs infected with adeno-Lhx8, GI-Gal4DBD, LOV-VP16, and BMP2-shLhx8. Conclusions: Together, our study revealed that optogenetic control of the master genes for mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation would be such a candidate strategy for precise regenerative medicine.

Local delivery of mesenchymal stem cells with poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid nano-fiber scaffold suppress arthritis in rats.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been used recently for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in murine animal models due to the immunoregulatory capacity. Current utilization of MSC requires cells in certain quantity with multiple courses of administration, leading to limitation in clinical usage. Here we efficiently treated collagen-induced arthritis rats with a single local implantation with reduced number of MSC (2∼20% of previous studies) with nano-fiber poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (nano-fiber) scaffold. MSC seeded on nano-fiber scaffold suppressed arthritis and bone destruction due to inhibition of systemic inflammatory reaction and immune response by suppressing T cell proliferation and reducing anti- type II collagen antibody production. In vivo tracing of MSC demonstrated that these cells remained within the scaffold without migrating to other organs. Meanwhile, in vitro culture of MSC with nano-fiber scaffold significantly increased TGF-β1 production. These results indicate an efficient utilization of MSC with the scaffold for destructive joints in rheumatoid arthritis by a single and local inoculation. Thus, our data may serve as a new strategy for MSC-based therapy in inflammatory diseases and an alternative delivery method for bone destruction treatment.

Timed Delivery of Therapy Enhances Functional Muscle Regeneration.

Project description:Cell transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of traumatic muscle injury in humans. Previous investigations have typically focused on the identification of potent cell and growth factor treatments and optimization of spatial control over delivery. However, the optimal time point for cell transplantation remains unclear. Here, this study reports how myoblast and morphogen delivery timed to coincide with specific phases of the inflammatory response affects donor cell engraftment and the functional repair of severely injured muscle. Delivery of a biomaterial-based therapy timed with the peak of injury-induced inflammation leads to potent early and long-term regenerative benefits. Diminished inflammation and fibrosis, enhanced angiogenesis, and increased cell engraftment are seen during the acute stage following optimally timed treatment. Over the long term, treatment during peak inflammation leads to enhanced functional regeneration, as indicated by reduced chronic inflammation and fibrosis along with increased tissue perfusion and muscle contractile force. Treatments initiated immediately after injury or after inflammation had largely resolved provided more limited benefits. These results demonstrate the importance of appropriately timing the delivery of biologic therapy in the context of muscle regeneration. Biomaterial-based timed delivery can likely be applied to other tissues and is of potential wide utility in regenerative medicine.
