Enhanced Nerve Regeneration by Exosomes Secreted by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells with or without FK506 Stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-exo) reportedly improve nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury. Herein, we investigated whether pretreatment of ADSCs with FK506, an immunosuppressive drug that enhances nerve regeneration, could secret exosomes (ADSC-F-exo) that further augment nerve regeneration. Designed exosomes were topically applied to injured nerve in a mouse model of sciatic nerve crush injury to assess the nerve regeneration efficacy. Outcomes were determined by histomorphometric analysis of semi-thin nerve sections stained with toluidine blue, mouse neurogenesis PCR array, and neurotrophin expression in distal nerve segments. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) were used to profile potential exosomal proteins facilitating nerve regeneration. We observed that locally applied ADSC-exo and ADSC-F-exo significantly enhanced nerve regeneration after nerve crush injury. Pretreatment of ADSCs with FK506 failed to produce exosomes possessing more potent molecules for enhanced nerve regeneration. Proteomic analysis revealed that of 192 exosomal proteins detected in both ADSC-exo and ADSC-F-exo, histone deacetylases (HDACs), amyloid-beta A4 protein (APP), and integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) might be involved in enhancing nerve regeneration.

Project description:BackgroundEfficient and stable delivery of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) is crucial to provide suitable microenvironment for peripheral nerve regeneration. Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) is an important NTF during peripheral nerve regeneration which is scarce in the first few weeks of nerve defect. Exosomes are nanovesicles and have been served as promising candidate for biocarrier. In this work, NT-3 mRNA was encapsulated in adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-derived exosomes (ExoNT-3). These engineered exosomes were applied as NT-3 mRNA carrier and then were loaded in nerve guidance conduit (ExoNT-3-NGC) to bridge rat sciatic nerve defect.MethodNT-3 mRNA was encapsulated in exosomes by forcedly expression of NT-3 mRNA in the donor ADSCs. ExoNT-3 were co-cultured with SCs in vitro; after 24 h of culture, the efficiency of NT-3 mRNA delivery was evaluated by qPCR, western blotting and ELISA. Then, ExoNT-3 were loaded in alginate hydrogel to construct the nerve guidance conduits (ExoNT-3-NGC). ExoNT-3-NGC were implanted in vivo to reconstruct 10 mm rat sciatic nerve defect. The expression of NT-3 was measured 2 weeks after the implantation operation. The sciatic nerve functional index (SFI) was examined at 2 and 8 weeks after the operation. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of ExoNT-3-NGC was also evaluated by morphology assay, immunofluorescence staining of regenerated nerves, function evaluation of gastrocnemius muscles after 8 weeks of implantation.ResultsThe engineered exosomes could deliver NT-3 mRNA to the recipient cells efficiently and translated into functional protein. The constructed NGC could realize stable release of exosomes at least for 2 weeks. After NGC implantation in vivo, ExoNT-3-NGC group significantly promote nerve regeneration and improve the function recovery of gastrocnemius muscles compared with control exosomes (Exoempty-NGC) group.ConclusionIn this work, NGC was constructed to allow exosome-mediated NT-3 mRNA delivery. After ExoNT-3-NGC implantation in vivo, the level of NT-3 could restore which enhance the nerve regeneration. Our study provide a potential approach to improve nerve regeneration.
