Characterization of human placenta-derived exosome (pExo) as a potential osteoarthritis disease modifying therapeutic. Arthritis Res Ther 2023; 25:229. [PMID: 38017556 PMCID: PMC10683254 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03219-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human placenta-derived exosomes (pExo) were generated, characterized, and evaluated as a therapeutic candidate for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS pExo was generated from full-term human placenta tissues by sequential centrifugation, purification, and sterile filtration. Upon analysis of particle size, cytokine composition, and exosome marker expression, pExo was further tested in cell-based assays to examine its effects on human chondrocytes. In vivo therapeutic efficacies were evaluated in a medial meniscal tear/medial collateral ligament tear (MCLT + MMT) rat model, in which animals received pExo injections intraarticularly and weight bearing tests during in-life stage while histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed as terminal endpoints. RESULTS pExo displayed typical particle size, expressed maker proteins of exosome, and contained proteins with pro-proliferative, pro-anabolic, anti-catabolic, or anti-inflammatory activities. In vitro, pExo promoted chondrocyte migration and proliferation dose-dependently, which may involve its activation of cell growth-related signaling pathways. Expression of inflammatory and catabolic genes induced in a cellular OA model was significantly suppressed by pExo. In the rat OA model, pExo alleviated pain burden, restored cartilage degeneration, and downregulated expressions of pro-inflammatory, catabolic, or apoptotic proteins in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that pExo has multiple potential therapeutic effects including symptom control and disease modifying characteristics. This may make it an attractive candidate for further development as an anti-OA therapeutic.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have suggested association between the ABO blood group and inflammation, which was a crucial pathological process of primary knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the ABO blood group and primary knee osteoarthritis and the severity of primary knee osteoarthritis evaluated by the Kellgren/Lawrence score, as well as the histopathologic association in a subgroup of patients. Methods We performed a retrospective review of patients with primary knee osteoarthritis that served as the case group and a random sampling of healthy blood donors that served as the control group. The severity of knee osteoarthritis at the first outpatient visit was evaluated by the Kellgren/Lawrence scoring system. Further study was performed to investigate the expression of blood group antigens in synovial tissue of the knee in both cases and controls. Results A total of 1126 cases and 30299 controls were involved. The proportion of AB blood group was higher in the case group than in the control group (9.7% vs. 7.8%), and logistic regression revealed that the AB blood group was a risk factor of primary knee osteoarthritis (P = 0.025 and 0.048 for univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively), independent of age (P = 0.973) and sex (P = 0.520). Patients of the blood group AB had a higher Kellgren/Lawrence score (P = 0.017). The immunohistochemical study indicated association between LeY antigen and primary knee osteoarthritis (P = 0.029). Conclusions This study suggested that the blood group AB was associated with primary knee osteoarthritis, as well as its radiological severity. Further study indicated that LeY antigen, which was related to the blood group, was associated with primary knee osteoarthritis. Translational potential of this article This study revealed that blood group AB and LeY antigen was associated with primary knee osteoarthritis, which shed new light on the nature of osteoarthritis, and the development of novel therapy for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common side effects of colorectal cancer treatment and is affected by biomedical factors. We investigated the association of inflammation- and angiogenesis-related biomarkers with cancer-related fatigue. Pre-surgery (baseline) serum samples were obtained from n = 236 newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients. Meso Scale Discovery assays were performed to measure levels of biomarkers for inflammation and angiogenesis (CRP, SAA, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, TNFα, VEGFA and VEGFD). Cancer-related fatigue was assessed with the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire at baseline and 6 and 12 months post-surgery. We tested associations using Spearman's partial correlations and logistic regression analyses, adjusting for age, sex and body mass index. sICAM-1 and VEGFD showed a significant positive correlation with cancer-related fatigue at baseline and 6-, and 12-month follow-up (sICAM-1: r = 0.19, p = 0.010; r = 0.24, p = 0.004; r = 0.25, p = 0.006; VEGFD: r = 0.20, p = 0.006; r = 0.15, p = 0.06; r = 0.23, p = 0.01 respectively). Biomarkers of inflammation and angiogenesis measured prior to surgery are associated with cancer-related fatigue in colorectal cancer patients throughout various time points. Our results suggest the involvement of overexpressed sICAM-1 and VEGFD in the development of fatigue.

New insights into the natural course of knee osteoarthritis: early regulation of cytokines and growth factors, with emphasis on sex-dependent angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. A pilot study. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2018; 26:1045-1054. [PMID: 29782915 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2018.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2017] [Revised: 05/04/2018] [Accepted: 05/05/2018] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify cytokine profiles associated with radiographic phenotypes of knee osteoarthritis (rKOA) with a focus on early stage of the disease. METHODS The pilot population study involved 60 middle-aged patients (mean age 50 ± 7.3y.). Standardized weight-bearing anteroposterior and axial radiographs were used to assess rKOA severity in tibiofemoral (TFJ) of patellofemoral joint (PFJ) by grading system (grades 0-3). Luminex (xMAP®) technology was used to simultaneously assess 60 biomarkers (BMs). RESULTS Several pathways of angiogenic (CXCL10/IP-10, FGF1/2, PDGF-AA/BB, ANG1, RANTES), tissue remodeling/fibrosis (MMP1/3, TIMP2/3/4, TGFβ), and fat tissue (leptin) BMs associated with rKOA severity already in very early phase (grade 1). We identified several sets of cytokines as key markers of early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) predicting radiographic features in logistic-regression models (AUC = 0.80-0.97). Marked sex-specificity of rKOA course was detected: upregulation of angiogenesis dominated in females, whereas the activation of tissue remodeling was dominant in males. Several of these shifts, e.g., decrease of CXCL10/IP-10, took place only in grade 1 KOA and disappeared or reversed in later stages. OA of different knee-joint compartments has distinct profiles of cytokines. A broad list of BMs (TIMP2/3/4, MMP1/3, TGFβ1/2, vWF-A2, sE-selectin and leptin) associated with OA in the PFJ. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that substantial and time-limited shifts in the angiogenic and TIMP/MMP systems occur in the early stage of KOA. Our study findings highlight the sex-, grade- and compartment-dependent shifts in above processes. The data may contribute to the individualized prevention of KOA in the future.

J Biomed Sci 2014; 21:12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been shown to be induced by cytokines including TNF-α and may contribute to bone inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying MMP-9 expression induced by TNF-α in MC3T3-E1 cells remain unclear. RESULTS We applied gelatin zymography, Western blot, RT-PCR, real-time PCR, selective pharmacological inhibitors of transcription (actinomycin D, Act.D), translation (cycloheximide, CHI), c-Src (PP1), MEK1/2 (U0126), p38 MAPK (SB202190), JNK1/2 (SP600125), and NF-κB (Bay11-7082), respective siRNAs transfection, promoter assay, immunofluorescence staining, and ELISA to investigate the MMP-9 expression and soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) release induced by TNF-α in MC3T3-E1 cells. Here we demonstrated that TNF-α-induced MMP-9 expression was attenuated by Act.D, CHI, PP1, U0126, SB202190, SP600125, and Bay11-7082, and by the transfection with siRNAs for ERK2, p38 MAPK, and JNK2. TNF-α-stimulated TNFR1, TRAF2, and c-Src complex formation was revealed by immunoprecipitation and Western blot. Furthermore, TNF-α-stimulated NF-κB phosphorylation and translocation were blocked by Bay11-7082, but not by PP1, U0126, SB202190, or SP600125. TNF-α time-dependently induced MMP-9 promoter activity which was also inhibited by PP1, U0126, SB202190, SP600125, or Bay11-7082. Up-regulation of MMP-9 was associated with the release of sICAM-1 into the cultured medium, which was attenuated by the pretreatment with MMP-2/9i, an MMP-9 inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we demonstrated that TNF-α up-regulates MMP-9 expression via c-Src, MAPKs, and NF-κB pathways. In addition, TNF-α-induced MMP-9 expression may contribute to the production of sICAM-1 by MC3T3-E1 cells. The interplay between MMP-9 expression and sICAM-1 release may exert an important role in the regulation of bone inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Immunology often conveys the image of large molecules, either in the soluble state or in the membrane of leukocytes, forming multiple contacts with a target for actions of the immune system. Avidity names the ability of a polyvalent molecule to form multiple connections of the same kind with ligands tethered to the same surface. Polyvalent interactions are vastly stronger than their monovalent equivalent. In the present review, the functional consequences of polyvalent interactions are explored in a perspective of recent theoretical advances in understanding the thermodynamics of such binding. From insights on the structural biology of soluble pattern recognition molecules as well as adhesion molecules in the cell membranes or in their proteolytically shed form, this review documents the prominent role of polyvalent interactions in making the immune system a formidable barrier to microbial infection as well as constituting a significant challenge to the application of nanomedicines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanofibrous scaffolds loaded with bioactive nanoparticles are promising materials for bone tissue engineering. METHODS In this study, composite nanofibrous membranes containing a copolymer of L-lactide and glycolide (PLGA) and diamond nanoparticles were fabricated by an electrospinning technique. PLGA was dissolved in a mixture of methylene chloride and dimethyl formamide (2:3) at a concentration of 2.3 wt%, and nanodiamond (ND) powder was added at a concentration of 0.7 wt% (about 23 wt% in dry PLGA). RESULTS In the composite scaffolds, the ND particles were either arranged like beads in the central part of the fibers or formed clusters protruding from the fibers. In the PLGA-ND membranes, the fibers were thicker (diameter 270 ± 9 nm) than in pure PLGA meshes (diameter 218 ± 4 nm), but the areas of pores among these fibers were smaller than in pure PLGA samples (0.46 ± 0.02 μm(2) versus 1.28 ± 0.09 μm(2) in pure PLGA samples). The PLGA-ND membranes showed higher mechanical resistance, as demonstrated by rupture tests of load and deflection of rupture probe at failure. Both types of membranes enabled the attachment, spreading, and subsequent proliferation of human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells to a similar extent, although these values were usually lower than on polystyrene dishes. Nevertheless, the cells on both types of membranes were polygonal or spindle-like in shape, and were distributed homogeneously on the samples. From days 1-7 after seeding, their number rose continuously, and at the end of the experiment, these cells were able to create a confluent layer. At the same time, the cell viability, evaluated by a LIVE/DEAD viability/cytotoxicity kit, ranged from 92% to 97% on both types of membranes. In addition, on PLGA-ND membranes, the cells formed well developed talin-containing focal adhesion plaques. As estimated by the determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels in the culture medium and concentration of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, MG-63 cells, and RAW 264.7 macrophages on these membranes did not show considerable inflammatory activity. CONCLUSION This study shows that nanofibrous PLGA membranes loaded with diamond nanoparticles have interesting potential for use in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Degradative enzymes, such as A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), play key roles in development of osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated if crosstalk between subchondral bone osteoblasts (SBO) and articular cartilage chondrocytes (ACC) in OA alters the expression and regulation of ADAMTS5, ADAMTS4, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and MMP-13, and also tested the possible involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway during this process. METHODS ACC and SBO were isolated from normal and OA patients. An in vitro coculture model was developed to study the regulation of ADAMTS and MMP under normal and OA joint crosstalk conditions. The MAPK-ERK inhibitor PD98059 was applied to delineate the involvement of specific pathways during this interaction process. RESULTS Indirect coculture of OA SBO with normal ACC resulted in significantly increased expression of ADAMTS5, ADAMTS4, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in ACC, whereas coculture of OA ACC led to increased MMP-1 and MMP-2 expression in normal SBO. Upregulation of ADAMTS and MMP under these conditions was correlated with activation of the MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, and addition of the MAPK-ERK inhibitor PD98059 reversed the overexpression of ADAMTS and MMP in cocultures. CONCLUSION These results add to the evidence that in human OA, altered bidirectional signals between SBO and ACC significantly influence the critical features of both cartilage and bone by producing abnormal levels of ADAMTS and MMP. We have demonstrated for the first time that this altered crosstalk was mediated by the phosphorylation of MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The tumour microenvironment, which is largely composed of inflammatory cells, is a crucial participant in the neoplastic process through the promotion of cell proliferation, survival and migration. Neutrophil polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) induce inflammatory reactions that can be either cytotoxic for tumour cells or can promote tumour growth and metastasis. Previously, we have reported a spontaneous metastasis tumour model that has tumour PMNs infiltration, and metastasis, to liver and spleen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PMNs influences on the tumour cell invasion and metastatic properties. We analysed intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), MT1-MMP (membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase) and MMP2 protein expression in TuE-t cells cultured with PMNs or PMNs-conditioned medium isolated from tumour bearing and normal rats. The interaction between tumour cells and PMNs induced a decrease in ICAM-1 expression in tumour cells as well as an increase in MMP2 and tumour cell motility. Besides, conserved expression of uPAR and MT1-MMP in tumour cells was also demonstrated. The up-regulation in MMP2 associated with uPAR and MT1-MMP conserved expression may be related to an increased extracellular matrix proteolysis. These results showed that the interaction of tumour cells with PMNs could favour tumour cell spreading through the promotion of a tumour invasive phenotype.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies demonstrated that mast cell-derived TNFalpha stimulation is critical to the upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCECs), which is an important feature of ocular allergic inflammation. Shedding of TNFR1 by TNFalpha-converting enzyme (TACE) is a primary mechanism for the regulation of TNFalpha-mediated events. This process has not been examined in HCECs. In this study, the authors examined the regulation of TNFR1 expression and shedding by TACE on primary HCECs and the IOBA-NHC conjunctival epithelial cell line. METHODS Primary human conjunctival mast cells and epithelial cells were obtained from cadaveric conjunctival tissue. HCECs were incubated with and without activators (IgE-activated mast cell supernates, phorbol myristate acetate [PMA; to activate TACE], TNFalpha, and IFNgamma [to upregulate TNFR1]) for 24 hours. Pretreatment with the TACE inhibitor TAPI-2 was used to inhibit shedding of TNFR1. Supernates collected from the incubations were analyzed with ELISA for soluble TNFR1 (sTNFR1). With the use of flow cytometry, cells were harvested from these experiments for analysis of TNFR1 and ICAM-1 receptor expression. RESULTS IgE-activated conjunctival mast cell supernates upregulated the expression of TNFR1. TAPI-2 inhibited the PMA-induced release of sTNFR1 receptor and enhanced the surface expression of TNFR1 in HCECs in a dose-dependent manner. Upregulation of TNFR1 expression by priming with TAPI-2 and IFNgamma resulted in enhanced ICAM-1 expression in response to TNFalpha stimulation (significant change in the slope of the dose-response curve). CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that TACE promotes TNFR1 shedding in HCECs and that TNFR1 expression may be a more significant target than TNFalpha for intervention in ocular inflammation.

Abstract
Membrane-associated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (mICAM-1; CD54) is constitutively expressed on the surface of type I alveolar epithelial cells (AEC). Soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) may be produced by proteolytic cleavage of mICAM-1 or by alternative splicing of ICAM-1 mRNA. In contrast to inducible expression seen in most cell types, sICAM-1 is constitutively released by type I AEC and is present in normal alveolar lining fluid. Therefore, we compared the mechanism of sICAM-1 production in primary cultures of two closely juxtaposed cells in the alveolar wall, AEC and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PVEC). AEC, but not PVEC, demonstrated high-level baseline expression of sICAM-1. Stimulation of AEC with TNFalpha or LPS resulted in minimal increase in AEC sICAM-1, whereas PVEC sICAM-1 was briskly induced in response to these signals. AEC sICAM-1 shedding was significantly reduced by treatment with a serine protease inhibitor, but not by cysteine, metalloprotease, or aspartic protease inhibitors. In contrast, none of these inhibitors effected sICAM-1 expression in PVEC. RT-PCR, followed by gel analysis of total RNA, suggests that alternatively spliced fragments are present in both cell types. However, a 16-mer oligopeptide corresponding to the juxtamembrane region of mICAM-1 completely abrogated sICAM-1 shedding in AEC but reduced stimulated PVEC sICAM-1 release by only 20%. Based on these data, we conclude that the predominant mechanism of sICAM-1 production likely differs in the two cell types from opposite sides of the alveolar wall.
