BMSC-Derived Exosomal miR-29a Promotes Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis and osteogenesis are tightly coupled during bone modeling and remodeling processes. Here we reported that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomal miR-29a promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. BMSC-derived exosomes (BMSCs-Exos) can be taken up by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and promote the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of HUVECs. MiRNA-29a level was high in BMSCs-Exos and can be transported into HUVECs to regulate angiogenesis. VASH1 was identified as a direct target of miR-29a, mediating the effects of BMSC-derived exosomal miR-29a on angiogenesis. More interestingly, miR29a-loaded exosomes from engineered BMSCs (miR-29a-loaded BMSCs-Exos) showed a robust ability of promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo. Taken together, these findings suggest that BMSC-derived exosomal miR-29a regulates angiogenesis and osteogenesis, and miR-29a-loaded BMSCs-Exos may serve as a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in young people. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been reported to play an important role in the development of osteosarcoma. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown and need to be elucidated. Recently, exosomes have been reported as the crucial mediator between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. And a lot of lncRNAs have been reported to act as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors in osteosarcoma. In this research, we aim to explore the role of macrophages-derived exosomal lncRNA in osteosarcoma development and further elucidated the potential molecular mechanisms involved.MethodsTAMs were differentiated from human mononuclear cells THP-1, and a high-throughput microarray assay was used to analyze the dysregulated lncRNAs and miRNAs in osteosarcoma cells co-cultured with macrophages-derived exosomes. Western blot, qRT-PCR assays, and Dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to verify the interaction among LIFR-AS1, miR-29a, and NFIA. Cck-8, EdU, colony formation assay, wound-healing, and transwell assay were performed to explore the characterize the proliferation and metastasis ability of OS cells. And qPCR, Western blots, immunohistochemistry, and cell immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of relative genes or proteins.ResultsIn this study, we found that THP-1-induced macrophage-derived exosomes could facilitate osteosarcoma cell progression both in vitro and in vivo. Then, the results of the high-throughput microarray assay showed that LIFR-AS1 was highly expressed and miR-29a was lowly expressed. Furthermore, LIFR-AS1 was identified as a miR-29a sponge, and NFIA was validated as a direct target of miR-29a. Functional assays demonstrated that knockdown of exosomal LIFR-AS1 could attenuate the promotion effects of macrophages-derived exosomes on osteosarcoma cell progression and miR-29a inhibition could reserve the effect of LIFR-AS1-knockdown exosomes. Correspondingly, NFIA-knockdown could partially reverse the tumor inhibition effect of miR-29a on osteosarcoma cells.ConclusionsTaken together, macrophages-derived exosomal lncRNA LIFR-AS1 can promote osteosarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and restrain cell apoptosis via miR-29a/NFIA axis, which can act as a potential novel therapeutic target for osteosarcoma therapy.

Project description:Infiltration by dendritic cells (DCs) is markedly increased in the infarcted area following myocardial infarction (MI), and DC ablation has been shown to impair angiogenesis in mice post‑MI. Exosomes (EXs) have long been known to act as messengers between cells; however, whether EXs derived from DCs can enhance myocardial angiogenesis post‑MI remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether EXs derived from DCs induce myocardial angiogenesis via paracrine signaling post‑MI. In vitro, suspensions of mouse bone marrow‑derived DCs (BMDCs) were incubated with the supernatant of necrotic or normal cultured HL‑1 myocardial cells (as the MI or control group, respectively) for 24 h. EXs isolated from the supernatant of BMDCs were termed DEXs, which were added to primary cultures of rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs), and angiogenesis was evaluated by measuring tube formation and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. In vivo, different groups of DEXs were injected into the infarcted myocardium of MI model mice. Then, angiogenesis was evaluated by measuring the number of vessels and the expression of VEGF and CD31 in the infarcted myocardium using immunohistochemistry. Moreover, the expression profile of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) in splenic DCs of MI model mice was analyzed by Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 chip assays, then certified in DEXs by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. Finally, miRNA‑loaded DEXs were used to induce tube formation by CMECs and angiogenesis in MI model mice. It was observed that, compared with the control group, DEXs from the MI group significantly upregulated the expression of VEGF in CMECs, enhanced tube formation by CMECs, and upregulated the expression of VEGF and CD31 in the infarcted myocardium of MI model mice. miR‑494‑3p and miR‑16a‑5p, which are associated with angiogenesis, were significantly upregulated in splenic DCs of MI model mice by Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 chip assays, miR‑494‑3p was significantly upregulated and highly enriched in DEXs from the MI group compared with the control, and DEX‑miR‑494‑3p enhanced tube formation by CMECs and angiogenesis in mice post‑MI. These results suggest that miR‑494‑3p may be secreted from DCs via EXs and promotes angiogenesis post‑MI. These findings indicate a novel DEX‑based approach to the treatment of MI.

Project description:BackgroundDistraction osteogenesis (DO) is a widely used bone regenerative technique. However, the DO process is slow, and the consolidation phase is long. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to explore the mechanism of DO, and shorten its duration. Recent studies reported that stem cell exosomes may play an important role in promoting angiogenesis related to DO, but the mechanism remains unclear.MethodsCanine endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) were isolated and cultured, and the expression of THBS1 in canine ECFCs were inhibited using a lentiviral vector. The exosomes secreted by canine ECFCs were isolated and extracted, and the effect of exosomes on the angiogenic activity of Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected by proliferation, migration, and tube formation experiments. WB and qRT-PCR were used to explore the effects and mechanisms of THBS1-mediated ECFC-Exos on HUVECs angiogenesis. Then, a mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) model was established in adult male beagles, and exosomes were injected into the canine peripheral blood. Micro-CT, H&E, Masson, and IHC staining were used to explore the effects and mechanisms of THBS1-mediated ECFC-Exos on angiogenesis and osteogenesis in the DO area.ResultsECFC-Exo accelerated HUVECs proliferation, migration and tube formation, and this ability was enhanced by inhibiting the expression of THBS1 in ECFC-Exo. Using Western blot-mediated detection, we demonstrated that inhibiting THBS1 expression in ECFCs-Exo activated PI3K, AKT, and ERK phosphorylation levels in HUVECs, which promoted VEGF and bFGF expressions. In the DO model of the canine mandible, ECFCs-Exo injected into the peripheral blood aggregated into the DO gap, thus promoting angiogenesis and bone formation in the DO tissue by reducing THBS1 expression in ECFC-Exo.ConclusionOur findings suggested that ECFC-Exos markedly enhances angiogenesis of endothelial cells, and promotes bone healing in canine MDO. Thus, THBS1 plays a crucial role in the ECFC-Exos-mediated regulation of canine MDO angiogenesis and bone remodeling.The translational potential of this articleThis study reveals that the angiogenic promotion via THBS1 suppression in ECFC-Exos may be a promising strategy for shortening the DO duration.
