Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167343. [PMID: 38986822 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the impact of exosomes released by Porphyromonas gingivalis-Lipopolysaccharide activated THP-1 macrophages and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts on hepatocyte fat metabolism. RESULTS The liver of rats with experimental periodontitis showed obvious steatosis and inflammation compared with control rats. The culture supernatant of macrophages and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs), when stimulated with Pg-LPS, induced lipogenesis in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the lipid-promoting effect was effectively inhibited by the addition of the exosome inhibitor GW4869. Subsequently, we isolated exosomes from cells associated with periodontitis. Exosomes released by Pg-LPS-stimulated macrophages and hPDLFs are taken up by hepatocytes, causing mRNA expression related to fat synthesis, promoting triglyceride synthesis, and aggravating NAFLD progression. Finally, two sets of exosomes were injected into mice through the tail vein. In vivo experiments have also demonstrated that periodontitis-associated exosomes promote the development of hepatic injury and steatosis, upregulate SCD-1 expression and inhibit the AMPK signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we found that exosomes associated with periodontitis promote hepatocyte adipogenesis by increasing the expression of SCD-1 and suppressing the AMPK pathway, which indicates that close monitoring of the progression of stomatopathy associated extra-oral disorders is important and establishes a theoretical foundation for the prevention and management of fatty liver disease linked to periodontitis.

Orchestration of Macrophage Polarization Dynamics by Fibroblast-Secreted Exosomes during Skin Wound Healing. J Invest Dermatol 2024:S0022-202X(24)00445-7. [PMID: 38838771 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2024.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Macrophages undertake pivotal yet dichotomous functions during skin wound healing, mediating both early proinflammatory immune activation and late anti-inflammatory tissue remodeling processes. The timely phenotypic transition of macrophages from inflammatory M1 to proresolving M2 activation states is essential for efficient healing. However, the endogenous mechanisms calibrating macrophage polarization in accordance with the evolving tissue milieu remain undefined. In this study, we reveal an indispensable immunomodulatory role for fibroblast-secreted exosomes in directing macrophage activation dynamics. Fibroblast-derived exosomes permitted spatiotemporal coordination of macrophage phenotypes independent of direct intercellular contact. Exosomes enhanced macrophage sensitivity to both M1 and M2 polarizing stimuli, yet they also accelerated timely switching from M1 to M2 phenotypes. Exosome inhibition dysregulated macrophage responses, resulting in aberrant inflammation and impaired healing, whereas provision of exogenous fibroblast-derived exosomes corrected defects. Topical application of fibroblast-derived exosomes onto chronic diabetic wounds normalized dysregulated macrophage activation to resolve inflammation and restore productive healing. Our findings elucidate fibroblast-secreted exosomes as remote programmers of macrophage polarization that calibrate immunological transitions essential for tissue repair. Harnessing exosomes represents a previously unreported approach to steer productive macrophage activation states with immense therapeutic potential for promoting healing in chronic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
As a prominent research area in tissue repair and regeneration, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered substantial attention for their potential in the treatment of various diseases. It is now widely recognized that the therapeutic effects of MSCs primarily occur through paracrine mechanisms. Among these mechanisms, exosomes play a crucial role by exerting a series of regulatory effects on surrounding cells and tissues. While exosomes have shown promise in treating various diseases, they do have some limitations, such as limited secretion, poor targeting, and single functionality. However, MSC preconditioning can enhance the production of exosomes, lead to more stable functionality and improve therapeutic effects. Moreover, exosomes could also serve as carriers for specific drugs or genes, enabling more precise treatments of diseases. This review summarizes the most recent literatures on how preconditioning of MSCs influences the regenerative potential of their exosomes in tissue repair and provides new insights into the therapeutic application of exosomes derived from MSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoclast-mediated bone resorption cause bone loss in several bone diseases. Exosomes have been reported to regulate osteoclast differentiation. M2-polarized macrophages exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. This study aimed to explore the effect of exosomes from M2 polarized macrophages (M2-exos) on osteoclastogenesis and molecular mechanisms. METHODS M2-exos were isolated from IL-4-induced Raw264.7 cells (M2 macrophages) and used to treat osteoclasts (RANKL-induced Raw264.7 cells). Osteoclast differentiation was visualized using tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was conducted to measure the levels of osteoclastogenesis-related genes. The underlying mechanisms of M2-exos were evaluated using qPCR and western blotting. RESULTS M2-exos suppressed osteoclast differentiation induced by RANKL. Additionally, CSF2 was highly expressed in M2 macrophages, and knockdown of CSF2 further enhanced the effects of M2-exos on osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, CSF2 positively regulated TNF-α signaling, which inhibition promoted differentiation of M2-exo-treated osteoclasts. CONCLUSION M2-exos inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by downregulating the CSF2 expression through inactivating the TNF-α signaling, suggesting the potential application of exosomes in bone disease therapy.

Abstract
Oral diseases, such as periodontitis, salivary gland diseases, and oral cancers, significantly challenge health conditions due to their detrimental effects on patient's digestive functions, pronunciation, and esthetic demands. Delayed diagnosis and non-targeted treatment profoundly influence patients' prognosis and quality of life. The exploration of innovative approaches for early detection and precise treatment represents a promising frontier in oral medicine. Exosomes, which are characterized as nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles, are secreted by virtually all types of cells. As the research continues, the complex roles of these intracellular-derived extracellular vesicles in biological processes have gradually unfolded. Exosomes have attracted attention as valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tools for their ability to transfer abundant biological cargos and their intricate involvement in multiple cellular functions. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent applications of exosomes within the field of oral diseases, focusing on inflammation-related bone diseases and oral squamous cell carcinomas. We characterize the exosome alterations and demonstrate their potential applications as biomarkers for early diagnosis, highlighting their roles as indicators in multiple oral diseases. We also summarize the promising applications of exosomes in targeted therapy and proposed future directions for the use of exosomes in clinical treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To enrich and compare three extracellular vesicles-EV subtypes (apoptotic bodies, microvesicles and small EV) from three periodontal cells (periodontal ligament cells-PDLCs, alveolar bone-derived osteoblasts-OBs and gingival fibroblasts-GFs), and assess uptake and cell function changes in buccal fat pad-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BFP-MSCs). BACKGROUND Periodontal cells such as PDLCs, OBs and GFs have the potential to enhance bone and periodontal regeneration, but face significant challenges, such as the regulatory and cost implications of in vitro cell culture and storage. To address these challenges, it is important to explore alternative 'cell-free' strategies, such as extracellular vesicles which have emerged as promising tools in regenerative medicine, to facilitate osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration. METHODS AND MATERIALS Serial centrifuges at 2600 and 16 000 g were used to isolate apoptotic bodies and microvesicles respectively. Small EV-sEV was enriched by our in-house size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The cellular uptake, proliferation, migration and osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation genes were analysed after EVs uptake in BFP-MSCs. RESULTS Three EV subtypes were enriched and characterised by morphology, particle size and EV-associated protein expression-CD9. Cellular uptake of the three EVs subtypes was observed in BFP-MSCs for up to 7 days. sEV from the three periodontal cells promoted proliferation, migration and osteogenic gene expression. hOBs-sEV showed superior levels of osteogenesis markers compared to that hPDLCs-sEV and hGFs-sEV, while hOBs-16k EV promoted adipogenic gene expression compared to that from hPDLCs and hGFs. CONCLUSIONS Our proof-of-concept data demonstrate that hOBs-sEV might be an alternative cell-free therapeutic for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) is mainly composed of collagen fiber bundles, and the content of collagen fiber is an important factor affecting the mechanical properties of PDL. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the PDL collagen fiber content on its viscoelastic mechanical behavior. Transverse and longitudinal samples of different regions of PDL were obtained from the human maxilla. The fiber content at different regions of human PDL was quantitatively measured using image processing software, and a new viscoelastic constitutive model was constructed based on the fiber content. The nano-indentation experiment was carried out with a loading rate of 0.5 mN·s-1, a peak load of 3 mN, and a holding time of 200 s, and the model parameters were obtained through the experiment data. The results showed that with the increase of fiber content, the deformation resistance of PDL also increased, and compared with the neck and middle region, the compressive strain in the apical region of PDL was the largest. The range of reduced elastic modulus of human PDL was calculated to be 0.39~5.08 MPa. The results of the experimental data and the viscoelastic constitutive model fit well, indicating that the model can well describe the viscoelastic behavior of human PDL.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cornerstones of intercellular communication with exciting fundamental, clinical, and more broadly biotechnological applications. However, variability in EV composition, which results from the culture conditions used to generate the EVs, poses significant fundamental and applied challenges and a hurdle for scalable bioprocessing. Thus, an understanding of the relationship between EV production (and for clinical applications, manufacturing) and EV composition is increasingly recognized as important and necessary. While chemical stimulation and culture conditions such as cell density are known to influence EV biology, the impact of biomechanical forces on the generation, properties, and biological activity of EVs remains poorly understood. Given the omnipresence of these forces in EV preparation and in biomanufacturing, expanding the understanding of their impact on EV composition-and thus, activity-is vital. Although several publications have examined EV preparation and bioprocessing and briefly discussed biomechanical stresses as variables of interest, this review represents the first comprehensive evaluation of the impact of such stresses on EV production, composition and biological activity. We review how EV biogenesis, cargo, efficacy, and uptake are uniquely affected by various types, magnitudes, and durations of biomechanical forces, identifying trends that emerge both generically and for individual cell types. We also describe implications for scalable bioprocessing, evaluating processes inherent in common EV production and isolation methods, and propose a path forward for rigorous EV quality control.

Construction of hyperelastic model of human periodontal ligament based on collagen fibers distribution. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2022; 135:105484.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The human periodontal ligament (PDL) dominated by collagen fibers showed hyperelastic mechanical behavior under orthodontic force. Despite previous researches on the hyperelastic model of PDL, there were certain limitations because of the types of samples and the ignorance of distribution of collagen fibers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify the effect of collagen fibers distribution of human PDL on its hyperelastic behavior. METHODS A total of 6 human PDL samples of root neck, root middle and root apex were cut from human maxillary central incisor and lateral incisor. The spatial angles of collagen fibers were observed by optical microscope, the hyperelastic model was constructed combined with the observation results. The quasi-static uniaxial tensile tests with displacement load 0.05 mm/min were carried out, and the test data were used to identify the parameters of model. RESULTS The mechanical behavior of human PDL conformed to the trend of hyperelastic materials, and greatly depended on the spatial angles of internal collagen fibers. The R2 value statistical fit of the constitutive model to the data is excellent (R2 > 0.98). This model could excellently describe the hyperelastic properties of human PDL. SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we quantitatively described the effect of spatial distribution of collagen fibers on the mechanical properties of human PDL. The accuracy of this model was verified by the uniaxial test data, and the relevant model parameters were acquired, which have certain reference value in subsequent researches on hyperelasticity of human PDL and clinical treatment.

Abstract
The cellular and molecular mechanisms of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are not yet fully understood, partly due to the lack of dynamical datasets within the same subject. Inflammation and calcification are two main processes during OTM. Given the high sensitivity and specificity of [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor and Sodium [18F]Fluoride (Na[18F]F) for inflammation and calcification, respectively, the aim of this study is to assess their ability to identify and monitor the dynamics of OTM in an established mouse model. To monitor the processes during OTM in real time, animals were scanned using a small animal PET/CT during week 1, 3, and 5 post-implantation, with [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor and Na[18F]F. Both tracers showed an increased uptake in the region of interest compared to the control. For [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor, an increased uptake was observed within the 5-week trial, suggesting the continuous presence of inflammatory markers. Na[18F]F showed an increased uptake during the trial, indicating an intensification of bone remodelling. Interim and end-of-experiment histological assessments visualised increased amounts of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and TRAP-positive cells in the periodontal ligament on the compression side. This approach establishes the first in vivo model for periodontal remodelling during OTM, which efficiently detects and monitors the intricate dynamics of periodontal ligament.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) are closely associated with periodontal homeostasis. Far less is known about EVs association with orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). This study aimed to explore the role of small EVs originated from hPDLCs during OTM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult C57BL/6 mice were used. Springs were bonded to the upper first molars of mice for 7 days to induce OTM in vivo. To block small EVs release, GW4869 was intraperitoneally injected and the efficacy of small EVs inhibition in periodontal ligament was verified by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Tooth movement distance and osteoclastic activity were studied. In vitro, hPDLCs were isolated and administered compressive force in the EV-free culture media. The cell morphologies and CD63 expression of hPDLCs were studied. Small EVs were purified and characterized using a scanning electron microscope, TEM, western blot, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The expression of proteins in the small EVs was further processed and validated using a human immuno-regulated cytokines array and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The small EV depletion significantly decreased the distance and osteoclastic activity of OTM in the mice. The hPDLCs displayed different morphologies under force compression and CD63 expression level decreased verified by western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Small EVs purified from supernatants of the hPDLCs showed features with <200 nm diameter, the positive EVs marker CD63, and the negative Golgi body marker GM130. The number of small EVs particles increased in hPDLCs suffering force stimuli. According to the proteome array, the level of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) displayed the most significant fold change in small EVs under compressive force and this was further confirmed using an ELISA. LIMITATIONS Further mechanism studies are warranted to validate the hPDLC-originated small EVs function in OTM through proteins delivery. CONCLUSIONS The notable decrease in the OTM distance after small EV blocking and the significant alteration of the sICAM-1 level in the hPDLC-originated small EVs under compression provide a new vista into small EV-related OTM biology.

Abstract
Hypoxia regulates fibroblast function by changing intracellular signaling and secretion factors, that influence the states of nearby cells. In this work, we investigated how medium (CM) from human adult dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) cultured in normoxic and hypoxic conditions affected cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. The HeLa cells showed decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest in response to CM from hypoxic-cultured HDFs (H-CM) compared with CM from normoxic-cultured HDFs (N-CM). Among the proteins up-regulated (>2-fold) in H-CM compared with N-CM, lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTBR) decreased the viability of HeLa cells. Among the intracellular proteins down-regulated (>2-fold) in HeLa cells treated with H-CM compared with N-CM, the most enriched biological process GO term and KEGG pathway were protein deubiquitination and hsa05166:HTLV-I infection, respectively. In the protein−protein interaction network of intracellular proteins with altered expression (>2-fold), 1 up-regulated (TNF) and 8 down-regulated (ESR1, MCL1, TBP, CD19, LCK, PCNA, CHEK1, and POLA1) hub proteins were defined. Among the down-regulated hub proteins, the most enriched biological process GO term and KEGG pathway were leading strand elongation and hsa05166:HTLV-I infection, respectively. This study reveals that H-CM had stronger anti-cancer effects on cervical cancer cells than N-CM and induced intracellular signaling patterns related to those enhanced anti-cancer effects.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is induced by applying active mechanical forces, causing a local non-infectious inflammatory response in the periodontal ligament (PDL). As a prerequisite for OTM, the inflammation status is associated with increased levels of various cytokines and involves the interaction between immune cells and periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). It is well established that hPDLSCs respond to orthodontic forces in several ways, such as by secreting multiple inflammatory factors. Another essential feature of hPDLSCs is their immunomodulatory activities, which are executed through cytokine (e.g., TNF-α and IL-1β)-induced production of various soluble immunomediators (e.g., indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1, tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein, prostaglandin E2) and direct cell-to-cell contact (e.g., programmed cell death ligand 1, programmed cell death ligand 2). It is well known that these immunomodulatory abilities are essential for local periodontal tissue homeostasis and regeneration. So far, only a handful of studies provides first hints that hPDLSCs change immunological processes during OTM via their immunomodulatory activities. These studies demonstrate the pro-inflammatory aspect of immunomodulation by hPDLSCs. However, no studies exist which investigate cytokine and cell-to-cell contact mediated immunomodulatory activities of hPDLSCs. In this perspective article, we will discuss the potential role of the immunomodulatory potential of hPDLSCs in establishing and resolving the OTM-associated non-infectious inflammation and hence its potential impact on periodontal tissue homeostasis during OTM.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating age-related joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, synovial membrane inflammation, osteophyte formation, as well as subchondral bone sclerosis. OA drugs at present are mainly palliative and do not halt or reverse disease progression. Currently, no disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) are available and total joint arthroplasty remains a last resort. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of efficacious treatments for OA management. Among all novel pharmaco-therapeutical options, exosome-based therapeutic strategies are highly promising. Exosome cargoes, which include proteins, lipids, cytokines, and various RNA subtypes, are potentially capable of regulating intercellular communications and gene expression in target cells and tissues involved in OA development. With extensive research in recent years, exosomes in OA studies are no longer limited to classic, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived vesicles. New origins, structures, and functions of exosomes are constantly being discovered and investigated. This review systematically summarizes the non-classic origins, biosynthesis, and extraction of exosomes, describes modification and delivery techniques, explores their role in OA pathogenesis and progression, and discusses their therapeutic potential and hurdles to overcome in OA treatment.
