Taurine ameliorates oxidative stress of BMSCs and promotes osteogenesis in irradiated jaws
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) is a complication after head and neck radiotherapy. Currently, an overall understanding of microenvironmental factors of ORNJ is still lacking. Here, we reveal the activation of taurine metabolism in irradiated mandibular stromal cells with scRNA-Seq and the decrease of taurine in irradiated bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) with metabolome. Compared to the unirradiated BMSCs, the taurine content of irradiated BMSCs decreases, and the taurine uptake increases. The taurine concentration in peripheral blood and jaws of irradiated mice are significantly lower than the unirradiated mice. Supplementation of taurine promotes osteogenic differentiation and decreases the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of irradiated BMSCs. Oral administration of taurine significantly promotes osteogenesis of irradiated jaws and alleviates bone marrow fibrosis. Our study sheds light on the role of taurine during the recovery of radiation-induced jaw injury, suggesting a potential non-invasive therapeutic means to combat ORNJ.
