Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secreted-Extracellular Vesicles are Involved in Chondrocyte Production and Reduce Adipogenesis during Stem Cell Differentiation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are derived from internal cellular compartments, and have potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in degenerative disease associated with aging. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become a promising tool for functional EVs production. This study investigated the efficacy of EVs and its effect on differentiation capacity.

Methods

The characteristics of MSCs were evaluated by flow cytometry and stem cell differentiation analysis, and a production mode of functional EVs was scaled from MSCs. The concentration and size of EVs were quantitated by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). Western blot analysis was used to assess the protein expression of exosome-specific markers. The effects of MSC-derived EVs were assessed by chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation analyses and histological observation.

Results

The range of the particle size of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)- and Wharton's jelly -MSCs-derived EVs were from 130 to 150 nm as measured by NTA, which showed positive expression of exosomal markers. The chondrogenic induction ability was weakened in the absence of EVs in vitro. Interestingly, after EV administration, type II collagen, a major component in the cartilage extracellular matrix, was upregulated compared to the EV-free condition. Moreover, EVs decreased the lipid accumulation rate during adipogenic induction.

Conclusion

The results indicated that the production model could facilitate production of effective EVs and further demonstrated the role of MSC-derived EVs in cell differentiation. MSC-derived EVs could be successfully used in cell-free therapy to guide chondrogenic differentiation of ADSC for future clinical applications in cartilage regeneration.

Project description:IntroductionOsteoarthritis (OA) affects a large percentage of the population worldwide. Current surgical and nonsurgical concepts for treating OA only result in symptom-modifying effects. However, there is no disease-modifying therapy available. Extracellular vesicles released by mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC-EV) are promising agents to positively influence joint homeostasis in the osteoarthritic surroundings. This pilot study aimed to investigate the effect of characterized MSC-EVs on chondrogenesis in a 3D chondrocyte inflammation model with the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα.MethodsBovine articular chondrocytes were expanded and transferred into pellet culture at passage 3. TNFα, human MSC-EV preparations (MSC-EV batches 41.5-EVi1 and 84-EVi), EVs from human platelet lysate (hPL4-EV), or the combination of TNFα and EVs were supplemented. To assess the effect of MSC-EVs in the chondrocyte inflammation model after 14 days, DNA, glycosaminoglycan (GAG), total collagen, IL-6, and NO release were quantified, and gene expression of anabolic (COL-II, aggrecan, COMP, and PRG-4), catabolic (MMP-3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5), dedifferentiation (COL-I), hypertrophy (COL-X, VEGF), and inflammatory (IL-8) markers were analyzed; histological evaluation was performed using safranin O/Fast Green staining and immunohistochemistry of COL I and II. For statistical evaluation, nonparametric tests were chosen with a significance level of p < 0.05.ResultsTNFα supplementation resulted in catabolic stimulation with increased levels of NO and IL-6, upregulation of catabolic gene expression, and downregulation of anabolic markers. These findings were supported by a decrease in matrix differentiation (COL-II). Supplementation of EVs resulted in an upregulation of the chondrogenic marker PRG-4. All MSC-EV preparations significantly increased GAG retention per pellet. In contrast, catabolic markers and IL-8 expression were upregulated by 41.5-EVi1. Regarding protein levels, IL-6 and NO release were increased by 41.5-EVi1. Histologic and immunohistochemical evaluations indicated a higher differentiation potential of chondrocytes treated with 84-EVi.DiscussionMSC-EVs can positively influence chondrocyte matrix production in pro-inflammatory surroundings, but can also stimulate inflammation. In this study MSC-EV 41.5-EVi1 supplementation increased chondrocyte inflammation, whereas MSC-84-EVi supplementation resulted a higher chondrogenic potential of chondrocytes in 3D pellet culture. In summary, the selected MSC-EVs exhibited promising chondrogenic effects indicating their significant potential for the treatment of OA; however, the functional heterogeneity in MSC-EV preparations has to be solved.

Project description:Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common surgical complication. Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases risk of developing POCD after surgery. DM patients with POCD seriously threaten the quality of patients' life, however, the intrinsic mechanism is unclear, and the effective treatment is deficiency. Previous studies have demonstrated neuronal loss and reduced neurogenesis in the hippocampus in mouse models of POCD. In this study, we constructed a mouse model of DM by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, and then induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction by transient bilateral common carotid artery occlusion. We found that mouse models of DM-POCD exhibited the most serious cognitive impairment, as well as the most hippocampal neural stem cells (H-NSCs) loss and neurogenesis decline. Subsequently, we hypothesized that small extracellular vesicles secreted by induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC-sEVs) might promote neurogenesis and restore cognitive function in patients with DM-POCD. iMSC-sEVs were administered via the tail vein beginning on day 2 after surgery, and then once every 3 days for 1 month thereafter. Our results showed that iMSC-sEVs treatment significantly recovered compromised proliferation and neuronal-differentiation capacity in H-NSCs, and reversed cognitive impairment in mouse models of DM-POCD. Furthermore, miRNA sequencing and qPCR showed miR-21-5p and miR-486-5p were the highest expression in iMSC-sEVs. We found iMSC-sEVs mainly transferred miR-21-5p and miR-486-5p to promote H-NSCs proliferation and neurogenesis. As miR-21-5p was demonstrated to directly targete Epha4 and CDKN2C, while miR-486-5p can inhibit FoxO1 in NSCs. We then demonstrated iMSC-sEVs can transfer miR-21-5p and miR-486-5p to inhibit EphA4, CDKN2C, and FoxO1 expression in H-NSCs. Collectively, these results indicate significant H-NSC loss and neurogenesis reduction lead to DM-POCD, the application of iMSC-sEVs may represent a novel cell-free therapeutic tool for diabetic patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
