De-osteogenic-differentiated mesenchymal stem cells accelerate fracture healing by mir-92b.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising targets for therapeutic use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In the previous study, we have found that MSCs could be reverted to a primitive stem cell population after in vitro induction of osteogenic and de-osteogenic differentiation (de-osteogenic differentiated MSCs, De-Os-MSCs). De-Os-MSCs showed improved cell survival and osteogenic potential. However, the underlying mechanism and its potential effect on fracture healing has not been explored.

Methods

MSCs were isolated from the rat bone marrow. MicroRNAs were cloned into lentiviral vectors and transduced into MSCs to observe the effects on osteogenesis. The expression levels of marker genes were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. Ectopic bone formation model was used to evaluate the bone regeneration ability of mir-92b transduced MSCs in vivo. An open femur fracture model was established, and MSCs or De-Os-MSCs were administrated to the fracture sites. Histological, biomechanical and microCT analysis were used to evaluate the quality of bone.

Results

In the present study, we found that mir-92b was significantly increased in the secretions of De-Os-MSCs. And mir-92b could promote the osteogenic differentiation potential of MSCs by activating pERK and JNK signaling pathways. The ectopic bone formation assay showed that MSCs overexpressing mir-92b formed more bone like tissues in vivo. Most importantly, we found local administration of De-Os-MSCs could accelerate fracture healing using an open femur fracture model in rats. The quality of bone property was much better as shown by microCT and biomechanical testing.

Conclusion

Taken together, our study demonstrated that mir-92b promoted osteogenesis of MSCs, which was partially accounted for the enhanced osteogenic differentiation potential of De-Os-MSCs. And De-Os-MSCs had shown better regenerative capacity in accelerating fracture healing when they were locally given.

The translational potential of this article

De-Os-MSCs could be used to accelerate fracture healing, and reduce the occurrence of delayed unions and non-unions.

Project description:BackgroundAt present, bone union delay or failure remains challenging for clinicians. It has been reported that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) offer a promising way to promote bone fracture healing. In recent years, nanomaterials have been applied in regenerative medicine. This study aimed to investigate whether ADMSCs combined with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) could further improve fracture healing on the basis of ADMSCs.MethodsADMSCs were co-cultured with PtNPs in vitro to investigate the effect of PtNPs on the differentiation of ADMSCs. Twenty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups (with five rats in each group). The left tibias of all rats were fractured. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), PtNPs, ADMSC, and ADMSC mixed with PtNPs were then injected into the fracture sites based on the group classifications. The fracture was monitored by X-ray immediately after the fracture and on days 14 and 28 post-fracture. The tibias of the rats were subsequently harvested after the last X-ray and evaluated by micro computed tomography (micro-CT), histological analysis, and immunohistochemical detection.ResultsPtNPs significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of ADMSCs in vitro. On days 14 and 28 post-fracture, the radiographic score of the ADMSC + PtNPs group was higher than that of the ADMSC group, the score of the ADMSC group was higher than that of the PtNPs and control groups, and there was no significant difference between the PtNPs and control groups. Micro-CT confirmed that combined ADMSCs with PtNPs were more effective than using ADMSCs alone in promoting fracture healing. The histological and immunohistochemical results further supported this conclusion.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that PtNPs could promote osteogenic differentiation of ADMSC in vitro. ADMSCs combined with PtNPs could accelerate fracture healing further in vivo and are a promising a potential method for the treatment of fracture healing.

Project description:: Paracrine signaling by bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a major role in tissue repair. Although the production of regulatory cytokines by MSC transplantation is a critical modulator of tissue regeneration, we focused on exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles that contain proteins and nucleic acids, as a novel additional modulator of cell-to-cell communication and tissue regeneration. To address this, we used radiologic imaging, histological examination, and immunohistochemical analysis to evaluate the role of exosomes isolated from MSC-conditioned medium (CM) in the healing process in a femur fracture model of CD9-/- mice, a strain that is known to produce reduced levels of exosomes. We found that the bone union rate in CD9-/- mice was significantly lower than wild-type mice because of the retardation of callus formation. The retardation of fracture healing in CD9-/- mice was rescued by the injection of exosomes, but this was not the case after the injection of exosomes-free conditioned medium (CM-Exo). The levels of the bone repair-related cytokines, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-3, and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in exosomes were low compared with levels in CM and CM-Exo, suggesting that bone repair may be in part mediated by other exosome components, such as microRNAs. These results suggest that exosomes in CM facilitate the acceleration of fracture healing, and we conclude that exosomes are a novel factor of MSC paracrine signaling with an important role in the tissue repair process.SignificanceThis work focuses on exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles, as a novel additional modulator of cell-to-cell communication.
