Abstract
The regulatory mechanisms underlying bone metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are not yet fully understood despite the frequent occurrence of bone involvement. This study aimed to examine the involvement and mechanism of integrin subunit beta 3 (ITGB3) in the process of LUAD bone metastasis. Our findings indicate that ITGB3 facilitates the migration and invasion of LUAD cells in vitro and metastasis to the bone in vivo. Furthermore, ITGB3 stimulates osteoclast production and activation, thereby expediting osteolytic lesion progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from the conditioned medium (CM) of LUAD cells overexpressing ITGB3 determined that ITGB3 facilitates osteoclastogenesis and enhances osteoclast activity by utilizing EVs-mediated transport to RAW264.7 cells. Our in vivo findings demonstrated that ITGB3-EVs augmented the population of osteoclasts, thereby establishing an osteoclastic pre-metastatic niche (PMN) conducive to the colonization and subsequent growth of LUAD cells in the bone. ITGB3 is enriched in serum EVs of patients diagnosed with LUAD bone metastasis, potentially facilitating osteoclast differentiation and activation in vitro. Our research illustrates that ITGB3-EVs derived from LUAD cells facilitate osteoclast differentiation and activation by modulating the phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK. This process ultimately leads to the generation of osteolytic PMN and accelerates the progression of bone metastasis.

Abstract
This review explores the regenerative potential of key progenitor cell types and therapeutic strategies to improve healing of complex fractures and bone defects. We define, summarize, and discuss the differentiation potential of totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent stem cells, emphasizing the advantages and shortcomings of cell therapy for bone repair and regeneration. The fundamental role of mesenchymal stem cells is highlighted due to their multipotency to differentiate into the key lineage cells including osteoblasts, osteocytes, and chondrocytes, which are crucial for bone formation and remodeling. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) also play a significant role; immune cells such as macrophages and T-cells modulate inflammation and tissue repair. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that are important to bone remodeling. Vascular progenitor (VP) cells are critical to oxygen and nutrient supply. The dynamic interplay among these lineages and their microenvironment is essential for effective bone restoration. Therapies involving cells that are more than "minimally manipulated" are controversial and include embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). ESCs, derived from early-stage embryos, possess pluripotent capabilities and have shown promise in preclinical studies for bone healing. iPSCs, reprogrammed from somatic cells, offer personalized medicine applications and can differentiate into various tissue-specific cell lines. Minimally manipulative cell therapy approaches such as the use of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), exosomes, and various biomaterials for local delivery are explored for their effectiveness in bone regeneration. BMAC, which contains mostly immune cells but few mesenchymal and VPs, probably improves bone healing by facilitating paracrine-mediated intercellular communication. Exosome isolation harnesses the biological signals and cellular by-products that are a primary source for cell crosstalk and activation. Safe, efficacious, and cost-effective strategies to enhance bone healing using novel cellular therapies are part of a changing paradigm to modulate the inflammatory, repair, and regenerative pathways to achieve earlier more robust tissue healing and improved physical function.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a common metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass, decreased bone mineral density, and degradation of bone tissue microarchitecture. However, our understanding of the mechanisms of bone remodeling and factors affecting bone mass remains incomplete. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase that regulates a variety of cellular metabolisms, including inflammation, tumorigenesis, and bone metabolism. Recent studies have emphasized the important role of SIRT1 in bone homeostasis. This article reviews the role of SIRT1 in bone metabolism and OP and also discusses therapeutic strategies and future research directions for targeting SIRT1.

Abstract
Disuse osteoporosis is one of the major problems of bone health which commonly occurs in astronauts during long-term spaceflight and bedridden patients. However, the mechanisms underlying such mechanical unloading induced bone loss have not been fully understood. In this study, we employed hindlimb-unloading mice models with different length of tail suspension to investigate if the bone loss was regulated by distinct factors under different duration of disuse. Our micro-CT results showed more significant decrease of bone mass in 6W (6-week) tail-suspension mice compared to the 1W (1-week) tail-suspension ones, as indicated by greater reduction of BV/TV, Tb.N, B.Ar/T.Ar and Ct.Th. RNA-sequencing results showed significant effects of hindlimb disuse on cell locomotion and immune system process which could cause bone loss.Real-time quantitative PCR results indicated a greater number of bone formation related genes that were downregulated in short-term tail-suspension mice compared to the long-term ones. It is, thus, suggested while sustained hindlimb unloading continuously contributes to bone loss, molecular regulation of bone homeostasis tends to reach a balance during this process.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bone progenitor cells are advantageous as cell-free and non-immunogenic cargo delivery vehicles. In this study, EVs are isolated from MC3T3-E1 cells before (GM-EVs) and after mineralization for 7 and 14 days (DM-EVs). It was observed that DM-EVs accelerate the process of differentiation in recipient cells more prominently. The small RNA sequencing of EVs revealed that miR-204-5p, miR-221-3p, and miR-148a-3p are among the highly upregulated miRNAs that have an inhibitory effect on the function of mRNAs, Sox11, Timp3, and Ccna2 in host cells, which is probably responsible for enhancing the activity of osteoblastic genes. To enhance the bioavailability of EVs, they are encapsulated in a chitosan-collagen composite hydrogel that serves as a bioresorbable extracellular matrix (ECM). The EVs-integrated scaffold (DM-EVs + Scaffold) enhances bone regeneration in critical-sized calvarial bone defects in rats within 8 weeks of implantation by providing the ECM cues. The shelf life of DM-EVs + Scaffold indicates that the bioactivity of EVs and their cargo in the polymer matrix remains intact for up to 30 days. Integrating mineralized cell-derived EVs into an ECM represents a bioresorbable matrix with a cell-free method for promoting new bone formation through the miRNA-mRNA regulatory axis.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy holds promise for tissue regeneration, yet significant challenges persist. Emerging as a safer and potentially more effective alternative, extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem cells exhibit remarkable abilities to activate critical signaling cascades, thereby facilitating tissue repair. EVs, nano-scale membrane vesicles, mediate intercellular communication by encapsulating a diverse cargo of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Their therapeutic potential lies in delivering cargos, activating signaling pathways, and efficiently mitigating oxidative stress-an essential aspect of overcoming limitations in stem cell-based tissue repair. This review focuses on engineering and applying EVs in tissue regeneration, emphasizing their role in regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathways. Additionally, we explore strategies to enhance EV therapeutic activity, including functionalization and incorporation of antioxidant defense proteins. Understanding these molecular mechanisms is crucial for optimizing EV-based regenerative therapies. Insights into EV and ROS signaling modulation pave the way for targeted and efficient regenerative therapies harnessing the potential of EVs.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Educate Endothelial Cells to Become IL-6-Producing, CLL-Supportive Cells. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1381. [PMID: 39061955 PMCID: PMC11273944 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
We hypothesized that via extracellular vesicles (EVs), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells turn endothelial cells into CLL-supportive cells. To test this, we treated vein-derived (HUVECs) and artery-derived (HAOECs) endothelial cells with EVs isolated from the peripheral blood of 45 treatment-naïve patients. Endothelial cells took up CLL-EVs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. To test whether CLL-EVs turn endothelial cells into IL-6-producing cells, we exposed them to CLL-EVs and found a 50% increase in IL-6 levels. Subsequently, we filtered out the endothelial cells and added CLL cells to this IL-6-enriched medium. After 15 min, STAT3 became phosphorylated, and there was a 40% decrease in apoptosis rate, indicating that IL-6 activated the STAT3-dependent anti-apoptotic pathway. Phospho-proteomics analysis of CLL-EV-exposed endothelial cells revealed 23 phospho-proteins that were upregulated, and network analysis unraveled the central role of phospho-β-catenin. We transfected HUVECs with a β-catenin-containing plasmid and found by ELISA a 30% increase in the levels of IL-6 in the culture medium. By chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we observed an increased binding of three transcription factors to the IL-6 promoter. Importantly, patients with CLL possess significantly higher levels of peripheral blood IL-6 compared to normal individuals, suggesting that the inducers of endothelial IL-6 are the neoplastic EVs derived from the CLL cells versus those of healthy people. Taken together, we found that CLL cells communicate with endothelial cells through EVs that they release. Once they are taken up by endothelial cells, they turn them into IL-6-producing cells.

Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) significantly increase morbidity and mortality, presenting a formidable challenge in healthcare. Traditional interventions such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, despite their widespread use, are limited in addressing the secondary effects of vertebral fractures in adjacent areas and do not facilitate bone regeneration. This review paper explores the emerging domain of regenerative therapies, spotlighting stem cell therapy's transformative potential in OVCF treatment. It thoroughly describes the therapeutic possibilities and mechanisms of action of mesenchymal stem cells against OVCFs, relying on recent clinical trials and preclinical studies for efficacy assessment. Our findings reveal that stem cell therapy, particularly in combination with scaffolding materials, holds substantial promise for bone regeneration, spinal stability improvement, and pain mitigation. This integration of stem cell-based methods with conventional treatments may herald a new era in OVCF management, potentially improving patient outcomes. This review advocates for accelerated research and collaborative efforts to translate laboratory breakthroughs into clinical practice, emphasizing the revolutionary impact of regenerative therapies on OVCF management. In summary, this paper positions stem cell therapy at the forefront of innovation for OVCF treatment, stressing the importance of ongoing research and cross-disciplinary collaboration to unlock its full clinical potential.

Dent J (Basel) 2024; 12:122. [PMID: 38786520 PMCID: PMC11119057 DOI: 10.3390/dj12050122] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The osteogenic differentiation process, by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and osteoprogenitors transform into osteoblasts, is regulated by several growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) is a blood-derived preparation consisting of a plethora of bioactive molecules, also susceptible to containing epigenetic factors such as ncRNAs and EVs, that stimulates tissue regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the PRGF clot formulation on osteogenic differentiation. Firstly, osteoblast cells were isolated and characterised. The proliferation of bone cells cultured onto PRGF clots or treated with PRGF supernatant was determined. Moreover, the gene expression of Runx2 (ID: 860), SP7 (ID: 121340), and ALPL (ID: 249) was analysed by one-step real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Additionally, alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) activity determination was performed. The highest proliferative effect was achieved by the PRGF supernatant in all the study periods analysed. Concerning gene expression, the logRGE of Runx2 increased significantly in osteoblasts cultured with PRGF formulations compared with the control group, while that of SP7 increased significantly in osteoblasts grown on the PRGF clots. On the other hand, despite the fact that the PRGF supernatant induced ALPL up-regulation, significantly higher enzyme activity was detected for the PRGF clots in comparison with the supernatant formulation. According to our results, contact with the PRGF clot could promote a more advanced phase in the osteogenic process, associated to higher levels of ALPL activity. Furthermore, the PRGF clot releasate stimulated a higher proliferation rate in addition to reduced SP7 expression in the cells located at a distant ubication, leading to a less mature osteoblast stage. Thus, the spatial relationship between the PRGF clot and the osteoprogenitors cells could be a factor that influences regenerative outcomes.

Abstract
Degenerative orthopaedic diseases pose a notable worldwide public health issue attributable to the global aging population. Conventional medical approaches, encompassing physical therapy, pharmaceutical interventions, and surgical methods, face obstacles in halting or reversing the degenerative process. In recent times, exosome-based therapy has gained widespread acceptance and popularity as an effective treatment for degenerative orthopaedic diseases. This therapeutic approach holds the potential for "cell-free" tissue regeneration. Exosomes, membranous vesicles resulting from the fusion of intracellular multivesicles with the cell membrane, are released into the extracellular matrix. Addressing challenges such as the rapid elimination of natural exosomes in vivo and the limitation of drug concentration can be effectively achieved through various strategies, including engineering modification, gene overexpression modification, and biomaterial binding. This review provides a concise overview of the source, classification, and preparation methods of exosomes, followed by an in-depth analysis of their functions and potential applications. Furthermore, the review explores various strategies for utilizing exosomes in the treatment of degenerative orthopaedic diseases, encompassing engineering modification, gene overexpression, and biomaterial binding. The primary objective is to provide a fresh viewpoint on the utilization of exosomes in addressing bone degenerative conditions and to support the practical application of exosomes in the theranosis of degenerative orthopaedic diseases.

Abstract
The field of bone tissue engineering has seen significant advancements in recent years. Each year, over two million bone transplants are performed globally, and conventional treatments, such as bone grafts and metallic implants, have their limitations. Tissue engineering offers a new level of treatment, allowing for the creation of living tissue within a biomaterial framework. Recent advances in biomaterials have provided innovative approaches to rebuilding bone tissue function after damage. Among them, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel is emerging as a promising biomaterial for supporting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, and GelMA has exhibited exceptional physicochemical and biological properties, making it a viable option for clinical translation. Various methods and classes of additives have been used in the application of GelMA for bone regeneration, with the incorporation of nanofillers or other polymers enhancing its resilience and functional performance. Despite promising results, the fabrication of complex structures that mimic the bone architecture and the provision of balanced physical properties for both cell and vasculature growth and proper stiffness for load bearing remain as challenges. In terms of utilizing osteogenic additives, the priority should be on versatile components that promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis while reinforcing the structure for bone tissue engineering applications. This review focuses on recent efforts and advantages of GelMA-based composite biomaterials for bone tissue engineering, covering the literature from the last five years.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the effects of senescent osteocytes on bone homeostasis in the progress of age-related osteoporosis and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods In a series of in vitro experiments, we used tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to induce senescence of MLO-Y4 cells successfully, and collected conditioned medium (CM) and senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes, which were then applied to MC3T3-E1 cells, separately, to evaluate their effects on osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we identified differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) between exosomes from senescent and normal MLO-Y4 cells by high-throughput RNA sequencing. Based on the key miRNAs that were discovered, the underlying mechanism by which senescent osteocytes regulate osteogenic differentiation was explored. Lastly, in the in vivo experiments, the effects of senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes on age-related bone loss were evaluated in male SAMP6 mice, which excluded the effects of oestrogen, and the underlying mechanism was confirmed. Results The CM and exosomes collected from senescent MLO-Y4 cells inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. RNA sequencing detected significantly lower expression of miR-494-3p in senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes compared with normal exosomes. The upregulation of exosomal miR-494-3p by miRNA mimics attenuated the effects of senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes on osteogenic differentiation. Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-494-3p targeted phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), which is a negative regulator of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. Overexpression of PTEN or inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway blocked the functions of exosomal miR-494-3p. In SAMP6 mice, senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes accelerated bone loss, which was rescued by upregulation of exosomal miR-494-3p. Conclusion Reduced expression of miR-494-3p in senescent osteocyte-derived exosomes inhibits osteogenic differentiation and accelerates age-related bone loss via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
Viruses have developed many mechanisms by which they can stimulate or inhibit inflammation and cause various diseases, including viral respiratory diseases that kill many people every year. One of the mechanisms that viruses use to induce or inhibit inflammation is exosomes. Exosomes are small membrane nanovesicles (30-150 nm) released from cells that contain proteins, DNA, and coding and non-coding RNA species. They are a group of extracellular vesicles that cells can take up to produce and mediate communication. Intercellular effect exosomes can deliver a broad confine of biological molecules, containing nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, to the target cell, where they can convey therapeutic or pathogenic consequences through the modulation of inflammation and immune processes. Recent research has shown that exosomes can deliver entire virus genomes or virions to distant target cells, then the delivered viruses can escape the immune system and infect cells. Adenoviruses, orthomyxoviruses, paramyxoviruses, respiratory syncytial viruses, picornaviruses, coronaviruses, and rhinoviruses are mostly related to respiratory diseases. In this article, we will first discuss the current knowledge of exosomes. We will learn about the relationship between exosomes and viral infections, and We mention the inflammations caused by viruses in the airways, the role of exosomes in them, and finally, we examine the relationship between the viruses as mentioned earlier, and the regulation of inflammatory pathways that play a role in causing the disease.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that exosomes help to regulate bone homeostasis. The roles of bone-derived exosomes have been well-described; however, recent studies have shown that some non-bone-derived exosomes have better bone targeting ability than bone-derived exosomes and that their performance as a drug delivery vehicle for regulating bone homeostasis may be better than that of bone-derived exosomes, and the sources of non-bone-derived exosomes are more extensive and can thus be better for clinical needs. Here, we sort non-bone-derived exosomes and describe their composition and biogenesis. Their roles and specific mechanisms in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases are also discussed. Furthermore, we reveal obstacles to current research and future challenges in the practical application of exosomes, and we provide potential strategies for more effective application of exosomes for the regulation of bone homeostasis and the treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
The effect of preosteoblast-derived exosomes on bone marrow macrophages (BMMΦ) and calvarial osteoblasts (cOB) was evaluated in vitro, and bone formation studies were performed in vivo in mice. Preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 clone 4 (MC4) cell-derived exosomes (MC4exo) were characterized with particle tracking, transmission electron microscopy and western blot analysis to validate size, number, shape and phenotypic exosome markers. Exosomes pre-labelled with PKH67 were incubated with BMMΦ and phagocytosis of exosomes was confirmed. To examine the effect of MC4exo on macrophage polarization, BMMΦ were treated with MC4exo and the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines was determined by qPCR. MC4exo treatment upregulated mRNA expression of Cd86, Il1β, Ccl2, Rankl and Nos, and downregulated Cd206, Il10 and Tnfα, suggesting a shift towards pro-inflammatory 'M1-like' macrophage polarization. Combination of RANKL and MC4exo increased osteoclast differentiation of BMMΦ in comparison to RANKL alone as analysed by TRAP staining. MC4exo treatment showed no significant effect on calvarial osteoblast mineralization. For in vivo studies, intratibial inoculation of MC4exo (2 × 109 particles in PBS, n = 12) and vehicle control (PBS only, n = 12) was performed in C57Bl/6 mice (8 weeks, male). Micro-CT analyses of the trabecular and cortical bone compartments were assessed at 4 weeks post-injection. Tibial sections were stained for TRAP activity to determine osteoclast presence and immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect osteocalcin (Ocn), osterix (Osx) and F4/80 expression. Intratibial inoculation of MC4exo increased the diaphyseal bone mineral density and trabecular bone volume fraction due to increased trabecular number. This increase in bone was accompanied by a reduction in bone marrow macrophages and osteoclasts at the experimental endpoint. Together, these findings suggest that preosteoblast-derived exosomes enhanced bone formation by influencing macrophage responses.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is the pathological basis of a range of degenerative spinal diseases and is the primary cause of lower back pain. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation inhibits IVDD progression. However, the specific mechanisms that underlie these effects remain unclear. In this study, candidate microRNAs (miRNAs) are screened using bioinformatics and high-throughput sequencing. TNF-α is used to induce nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) degeneration. MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-exosomes) are obtained using high-speed centrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot analysis. Cell viability is determined by CCK-8 assay. Flow cytometry and TUNEL assays are used to detect cell apoptosis. The expression levels of miR-125b-5p are detected by RT-qPCR, and a dual-luciferase gene reporter assay confirms the downstream target genes of miR-125b-5p. Protein expression is determined by western blot analysis. Rat models are used to validate the function of miR-125b-5p in MSC-exosomes. The results show that miR-125b-5p is expressed at low levels in degenerated disc tissues compared with that in normal disc tissues; however, it is highly expressed in MSC-exosomes. Furthermore, MSC-exosomes are efficiently taken up by NPCs while miR-125b-5p is delivered into NPCs; thus, MSC-exosomes act as inhibitors of apoptosis in NPCs. Overexpression of miR-125b-5p downregulates TRAF6 expression and inhibits NF-κB activation. However, TRAF6 overexpression reverses these effects of miR-125b-5p. We demonstrate that MSC-exosomes attenuate IVDD in vivo by delivering miR-125b-5p. MSC-exosomes can deliver miR-125b-5p to target TRAF6, inhibit NF-κB activation, and attenuate the progression of IVDD.

Abstract
Patients with critical illnesses are at higher risk of comorbidities, which can include bone mineral density loss, bone turnover marker increase, and fragility fractures. Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have a higher risk of bone fractures. Since hypermetabolism is a characteristic of ICU patients, such patients are often rapidly affected by systemic deterioration, which often results in systemic wasting disease. Major risk factors for ICU-related bone loss include physical restraint, inflammation, neuroendocrine stress, malnutrition, and medications. A medical history of critical illness should be acknowledged as a risk factor for impaired bone metabolism. Bone loss associated with ICU admission should be recognized as a key component of post-intensive care syndrome, and further research that focuses on treatment protocols and prevention strategies is required. Studies aimed at maintaining gut integrity have emphasized protein administration and nutrition, while research is ongoing to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of anti-resorptive agents and physical therapy. This review examines both current and innovative clinical strategies that are used for identifying risk factors of bone loss. It provides an overview of perioperative outcomes and discusses the emerging novel treatment modalities. Furthermore, the review presents future directions in the treatment of ICU-related bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nerve injuries can result in detrimental functional outcomes. Currently, autologous nerve graft offers the best outcome for segmental peripheral nerve injury. Allografts are alternatives, but do not have comparable results. This study evaluated whether plasma-derived exosome can improve nerve regeneration and functional recovery when combined with decellularized nerve allografts. METHODS The effect of exosomes on Schwann cell proliferation and migration were evaluated. A rat model of sciatic nerve repair was used to evaluate the effect on nerve regeneration and functional recovery. A fibrin sealant was used as the scaffold for exosome. Eighty-four Lewis rats were divided into autograft, allograft, and allograft with exosome groups. Gene expression of nerve regeneration factors was analyzed on postoperative day 7. At 12 and 16 weeks, rats were subjected to maximum isometric tetanic force and compound muscle action potential. Nerve specimens were then analyzed by means of histology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Exosomes were readily taken up by Schwann cells that resulted in improved Schwann cell viability and migration. The treated allograft group had functional recovery (compound muscle action potential, isometric tetanic force) comparable to that of the autograft group. Similar results were observed in gene expression analysis of nerve regenerating factors. Histologic analysis showed no statistically significant differences between treated allograft and autograft groups in terms of axonal density, fascicular area, and myelin sheath thickness. CONCLUSIONS Plasma-derived exosome treatment of decellularized nerve allograft may provide comparable clinical outcomes to that of an autograft. This can be a promising strategy in the future as an alternative for segmental peripheral nerve repair. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Off-the-shelf exosomes may improve recovery in nerve allografts.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have received a lot of attention as a regenerative medicine tool with strong immunomodulatory capabilities. The excessive inflammatory response involves a variety of immune cells, cytokines, and has a considerable impact on tissue regeneration. The use of DPSCs for controlling inflammation for the purpose of treating inflammation-related diseases and autoimmune disorders such as supraspinal nerve inflammation, inflammation of the pulmonary airways, systemic lupus erythematosus, and diabetes mellitus is likely to be safer and more regenerative than traditional medicines. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of DPSCs is relatively complex, and it may be that they themselves or some of the substances they secrete regulate a variety of immune cells through inflammatory immune-related signaling pathways. Most of the current studies are still at the laboratory cellular level and animal model level, and it is believed that through the efforts of more researchers, DPSCs/SHED are expected to be transformed into excellent drugs for the clinical treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes alveolar bone loss. Diabetes is one of the most important factors contributing to periodontitis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-Exo) have been reported to promote bone regeneration. This study aimed to examine the function and mechanism of exosomes derived from periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs-Exo) in regulating periodontal regeneration in diabetic periodontitis. Methods Exosomes derived from normal-glucose-cultured PDLSCs (NG-PDLSCs-Exo) and high-glucose-preconditioned PDLSCs (HG-PDLSCs-Exo) were used. Their effects on RAW264.7 cells were investigated by TRAP staining and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The role of exosomal miR-31-5p in osteoclast differentiation was tested using qRT-PCR, double luciferase analysis, and Western blotting. We investigated the effects of these two types of PDLSCs-Exo on alveolar bone loss in vivo in mice with experimental periodontitis. Results PDLSCs-Exo were transferred to RAW264.7, and HG-PDLSCs-Exo inhibited osteoclast formation to a lesser extent than NG-PDLSCs-Exo. Further studies revealed the effect of PDLSCs-Exo on osteoclastogenesis via the miR-31-5p/eNOS signaling pathway. In mice with experimental periodontitis, PDLSCs-Exo reduced alveolar bone destruction and decreased the number of osteoclasts on the alveolar bone surface. Conclusion Our results suggest that exosomal miR-31-5p derived from PDLSCs regulates alveolar bone regeneration by targeting eNOS.

A deeper understanding of exosomes has allowed their application in various research areas, particularly in diagnostics and therapy. MAIN BODY Exosomes have great potential as biomarkers and delivery vehicles for encapsulating therapeutic cargo. However, the limitations of bare exosomes, such as rapid phagocytic clearance and non-specific biodistribution after injection, pose significant challenges to their application as drug delivery systems. This review focuses on exosome-based drug delivery for treating rheumatoid arthritis, emphasizing pre/post-engineering approaches to overcome these challenges. CONCLUSION This review will serve as an essential resource for future studies to develop novel exosome-based therapeutic approaches for rheumatoid arthritis. Overall, the review highlights the potential of exosomes as a promising therapeutic approach for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the terminally differentiated bone cells resulted from bone formation. Although there are two distinct processes of bone formation, intramembranous and endochondral ossifications contributing to the formation of calvarial and long bones, it is not clear whether the distinct pathways determine the differences between calvaria and femoral cortical bone derived osteocytes. In the present study, we employed confocal structured illumination microscopy and mRNA-sequencing analysis to characterize the morphologic and transcriptomic expression of osteocytes from murine calvaria and mid-shaft femoral cortical bone. Structured illumination microscopy and geometric modelling showed round shaped and irregularly scattered calvarial osteocytes compared to spindle shaped and orderly arrayed cortical osteocytes. mRNA-sequencing analysis indicated different transcriptomic profiles between calvarial and cortical osteocytes and provided evidence that mechanical response of osteocytes may contribute to geometrical differences. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis showed that these two groups of osteocytes come from distinct pathways with 121 ossification-related genes differentially expressed. Analysis of correlation between ossification and osteocyte geometries via a Venn diagram showed that several genes related to ossification, cytoskeleton organization and dendrite development were differentially expressed between calvarial and cortical osteocytes. Finally, we demonstrated that aging disrupted the organization of dendrites and cortical osteocytes but had no significant effects on calvarial osteocytes. Together, we conclude that calvarial and cortical osteocytes are different in various aspects, which is probably the consequence of their distinct pathways of ossification.

Abstract
In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key regulators of bone development, homeostasis and repair. EV-based therapies have the potential to circumnavigate key issues hindering the translation of cell-based therapies including functional tissue engraftment, uncontrolled differentiation and immunogenicity issues. Due to EVs' innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high physiochemical stability, these naturally-derived nanoparticles have garnered growing interest as potential acellular nanoscale therapeutics for a variety of diseases. Our increasing knowledge of the roles these cell-derived nanoparticles play, has made them an exciting focus in the development of novel pro-regenerative therapies for bone repair. Although these nano-sized vesicles have shown promise, their clinical translation is hindered due to several challenges in the EV supply chain, ultimately impacting therapeutic efficacy and yield. From the biochemical and biophysical stimulation of parental cells to the transition to scalable manufacture or maximising vesicles therapeutic response in vivo, a multitude of techniques have been employed to improve the clinical efficacy of EVs. This review explores state of the art bioengineering strategies to promote the therapeutic utility of vesicles beyond their native capacity, thus maximising the clinical potential of these pro-regenerative nanoscale therapeutics for bone repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disorder that causes a collapse of the femoral head, requiring subsequent total hip replacement. However, the pathogenesis of ONFH remains largely unclear. Herein, exosome metabolomics analyses were conducted to explore the pathophysiology of ONFH. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to conduct metabolic profiling of bone-derived exosomes of ONFH. METHODS 30 ONFH patients and 30 femoral neck fracture (FNF) patients were included in this study. Exosomes were harvested from the femoral head by using ultracentrifugation. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was performed in combination with multivariate statistical analysis to reveal and provided new insight into identify the global metabolic profile of ONFH. RESULTS The results of transmission electron microscope (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and Western blots indicated that the microvesicles isolated from the femoral head were exosomes. Several compounds were identified, including lipids and lipid-like molecules, amino acids, peptides, organooxygen compounds. 44 differential metabolites were screened between ONFH and FNF patients. The up-and down-regulation of Riboflavin metabolism, Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, Glycerophospholipid metabolism, and Sphingolipid metabolism were associated with ONFH pathophysiology. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that metabolomics has huge prospects for elucidating pathophysiology of ONFH.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an infection-induced inflammatory disease characterized by progressive destruction of tooth supporting tissues, which, if left untreated, can result in tooth loss. The destruction of periodontal tissues is primarily caused by an imbalance between the host immune protection and immune destruction mechanisms. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to eliminate inflammation and promote the repair and regeneration of both hard and soft tissues, so as to restore the physiological structure and function of periodontium. Advancement in nanotechnologies has enabled the development of nanomaterials with immunomodulatory properties for regenerative dentistry. This review discusses the immune mechanisms of the major effector cells in the innate and adaptive immune systems, the physicochemical and biological properties of nanomaterials, and the research advancements in immunomodulatory nanotherapeutic approaches for the management of periodontitis and the regeneration of periodontal tissues. The current challenges, and prospects for future applications of nanomaterials are then discussed so that researchers at the intersections of osteoimmunology, regenerative dentistry and materiobiology will continue to advance the development of nanomaterials for improved periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy has become an effective therapeutic approach for bone regeneration. However, there are still limitations in successful clinical translation. Recently, the secretome of mesenchymal stem cells, especially exosome, plays a critical role in promoting bone repair and regeneration. Exosomes are nanosized, lipid bilayer-enclosed structures carrying proteins, lipids, RNAs, metabolites, growth factors, and cytokines and have attracted great attention for their potential application in bone regenerative medicine. In addition, preconditioning of parental cells and exosome engineering can enhance the regenerative potential of exosomes for treating bone defects. Moreover, with recent advancements in various biomaterials to enhance the therapeutic functions of exosomes, biomaterial-assisted exosomes have become a promising strategy for bone regeneration. This review discusses different insights regarding the roles of exosomes in bone regeneration and summarizes the applications of engineering exosomes and biomaterial-assisted exosomes as safe and versatile bone regeneration agent delivery platforms. The current hurdles of transitioning exosomes from bench to bedside are also discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of critical-size bone defects has significantly increased. Critical-size bone defects seriously affect patients' motor functions and quality of life and increase the need for additional clinical treatments. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made great progress in repairing critical-size bone defects. As one of the main components of bone tissue engineering, stem cell-based therapy is considered a potential effective strategy to regenerate bone tissues. However, there are some disadvantages including phenotypic changes, immune rejection, potential tumorigenicity, low homing efficiency and cell survival rate that restrict its wider clinical applications. Evidence has shown that the positive biological effects of stem cells on tissue repair are largely mediated through paracrine action by nanostructured extracellular vesicles (EVs), which may overcome the limitations of traditional stem cell-based treatments. In addition to stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, the potential therapeutic roles of nonstem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in critical-size bone defect repair have also attracted attention from scholars in recent years. Currently, the development of extracellular vesicles-mediated cell-free regenerative medicine is still in the preliminary stage, and the specific mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, the authors first review the research progress and possible mechanisms of extracellular vesicles combined with bone tissue engineering scaffolds to promote bone regeneration via bioactive molecules. Engineering modified extracellular vesicles is an emerging component of bone tissue engineering and its main progression and clinical applications will be discussed. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of developing extracellular vesicle-based regenerative medicine will be given. This review may provide a theoretical basis for the future development of extracellular vesicle-based biomedicine and provide clinical references for promoting the repair of critical-size bone defects.

Advances in the Study of Exosomes as Drug Delivery Systems for Bone-Related Diseases. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010220. [PMID: 36678850 PMCID: PMC9867375 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone-related diseases are major problems and heavy burdens faced by modern society. Current clinical approaches for the treatment of these pathological conditions often lead to complications and have limited therapeutic efficacy. In this context, the development of nanotherapeutic platforms, such as extracellular vesicles, can improve the relevant therapeutic effects. In particular, exosomes are nano-sized, lipid bilayer extracellular vesicles secreted by many cells in mammals. Due to their innate capacity to transport materials-including proteins, lipids, and genes-among cells, as well as their innate attraction to target cells, they are considered to be a crucial medium for cell communication and are involved in a number of biological processes. Exosomes have been used as drug delivery vehicles in recent bone tissue engineering studies, in order to regulate bone homeostasis. However, the precise workings of the exosome regulatory network in maintaining bone homeostasis and its potential for treating bone injury remain unclear. To provide a fresh perspective for the study of exosomes in drug delivery and bone-related diseases, in this paper, we review recent studies on the roles of exosomes for drug delivery in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases, as well as the composition and characteristics of exosomes and their regulatory roles in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases, aiming to provide new ideas for the therapeutic application of exosomes in the treatment of bone-related diseases.

Nanoengineered hydrogels as 3D biomimetic extracellular matrix with injectable and sustained delivery capability for cartilage regeneration. Bioact Mater 2023; 19:487-498. [PMID: 35600973 PMCID: PMC9092603 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The regeneration of articular cartilage remains a great challenge due to the difficulty in effectively enhancing spontaneous healing. Recently, the combination of implanted stem cells, suitable biomaterials and bioactive molecules has attracted attention for tissue regeneration. In this study, a novel injectable nanocomposite was rationally designed as a sustained release platform for enhanced cartilage regeneration through integration of a chitosan-based hydrogel, articular cartilage stem cells (ACSCs) and mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles loaded with anhydroicaritin (AHI). The biocompatible engineered nanocomposite acting as a novel 3D biomimetic extracellular matrix exhibited a remarkable sustained release effect due to the synergistic regulation of the organic hydrogel framework and mesopore channels of inorganic mSiO2 nanoparticles (mSiO2 NPs). Histological assessment and biomechanical tests showed that the nanocomposites exhibited superior performance in inducing ACSCs proliferation and differentiation in vitro and promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) production and cartilage regeneration in vivo. Such a novel multifunctional biocompatible platform was demonstrated to significantly enhance cartilage regeneration based on the sustained release of AHI, an efficient bioactive natural small molecule for ACSCs chondrogenesis, within the hybrid matrix of hydrogel and mSiO2 NPs. Hence, the injectable nanocomposite holds great promise for use as a 3D biomimetic extracellular matrix for tissue regeneration in clinical diagnostics. The anhydroicaritin (AHI) was identified as a bioactive factor for promoting cartilage repair. The hydrogel was designed to achieve sustained AHI release and optimize the microenvironment of cartilage defect sites. The hydrogel exhibited superior advantages for chondrogenic differentiation and cartilage regeneration. The hydrogel holds a great promise for use as functional scaffold for tissue and organ regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Aberrant osteoclast formation and activation are the hallmarks of osteolytic metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), released from bone metastatic tumor cells, play a pivotal role in the progression of osteolytic lesions. However, the mechanisms through which tumor cell-derived EVs regulate osteoclast differentiation and function have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that 4T1 bone metastatic mouse mammary tumor cell-derived EVs (4T1-EVs) are taken up by mouse bone marrow macrophages to facilitate osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, treatment of mature osteoclasts with 4T1-EVs promoted bone resorption, which was accompanied by enhanced survival of mature osteoclasts through the negative regulation of caspase-3. By comparing the miRNA content in 4T1-EVs with that in 67NR nonmetastatic mouse mammary tumor cell-derived EVs (67NR-EVs), miR-92a-3p was identified as one of the most enriched miRNAs in 4T1-EVs, and its transfer into mature osteoclasts significantly reduced apoptosis. Bioinformatic and Western blot analyses revealed that miR-92a-3p directly targeted phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in mature osteoclasts, resulting in increased levels of phospho-Akt. Our findings provide novel insights into the EV-mediated regulation of osteoclast survival through the transfer of miR-92a-3p, which enhances mature osteoclast survival via the Akt survival signaling pathway, thus promoting bone resorption.

Abstract
Exosomes are endosome-derived microvesicles that carry cell-specific biological cargo, such as proteins, lipids, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). They play a key role in bone remodeling by enabling the maintenance of a balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Recent evidence indicates that exosomes disrupt bone remodeling that occurs during breast cancer (BC) progression. The bone is a preferred site for BC metastasis owing to its abundant osseous reserves. In this review, we aimed to highlight the roles of exosomes derived from bone cells and breast tumor in bone remodeling and BC bone metastasis (BCBM). We also briefly outline the mechanisms of action of ncRNAs and proteins carried by exosomes secreted by bone and BCBM. Furthermore, this review highlights the potential of utilizing exosomes as biomarkers or delivery vehicles for the diagnosis and treatment of BCBM.

Small extracellular vesicles derived from hypoxic mesenchymal stem cells promote vascularized bone regeneration through the miR-210-3p/EFNA3/PI3K pathway. Acta Biomater 2022; 150:413-426. [PMID: 35850484 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Angiogenesis is closely coupled with osteogenesis and has equal importance. Thus, promoting angiogenesis during the bone repair process is vital for ideal bone regeneration. As important mediators of cell-cell communication and biological homeostasis, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have been proved to be highly involved in bone and vascular regeneration. Because hypoxia microenvironment promotes the proangiogenic activity of MSCs, in the present study, we investigate the effect and underlying molecular mechanisms of sEVs from hypoxia-preconditioned MSCs (hypo-sEVs) on angiogenesis and develop an effective strategy to promote vascularized bone regeneration. Compared to sEVs from normoxia MSCs (nor-sEVs), hypo-sEVs promoted the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVECs and ultimately enhanced bone regeneration and new blood vessel reconstruction in a critical-size calvarial bone defect model. miRNA sequence and the verified results showed that miR-210-3p in hypo-sEVs was increased via HIF-1α under hypoxia. The upregulated miR-210-3p in hypo-sEVs promoted angiogenesis by downregulating EFNA3 expression and enhancing the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Thus, this study suggests a successful strategy to enhance vascularized bone regeneration by utilizing hypo-sEVs via the miR-210-3p/EFNA3/PI3K/AKT pathway. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Considering the significance of vascularization in ideal bone regeneration, strategies to promote angiogenesis during bone repair are required. Hypoxia microenvironment can promote the proangiogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Nonetheless, the therapeutic effect of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from hypoxia-preconditioned MSCs on cranio-maxillofacial bone defect remains unknown, and the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. This study shows that hypo-sEVs significantly enhance the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVECs as well as promote vascularized bone formation. Moreover, this work indicates that HIF-1α can induce overexpression of miR-210-3p under hypoxia, and miR-210-3p can hinder EFNA3 expression and subsequently activate the PI3K/AKT pathway. The application of hypo-sEVs provides a facile and promising strategy to promote vascularized bone regeneration in a critical-size bone defect model.

Abstract
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles of ∼30 to 150 nm that are secreted by all cells, abundant in all biofluids, and play important roles in health and disease. However, details about the mechanism of exosome biogenesis are unclear. Here, we carried out a cargo-based analysis of exosome cargo protein biogenesis in which we identified the most highly enriched exosomal cargo proteins and then followed their biogenesis, trafficking, and exosomal secretion to test different hypotheses for how cells make exosomes. We show that exosome cargo proteins bud from cells (i) in exosome-sized vesicles regardless of whether they are localized to plasma or endosome membranes, (ii) ∼5-fold more efficiently when localized to the plasma membrane, (iii) ∼5-fold less efficiently when targeted to the endosome membrane, (iv) by a stochastic process that leads to ∼100-fold differences in their abundance from one exosome to another, and (v) independently of small GTPase Rab27a, the ESCRT complex–associated protein Alix, or the cargo protein CD63. Taken together, our results demonstrate that cells use a shared, stochastic mechanism to bud exosome cargoes along the spectrum of plasma and endosome membranes and far more efficiently from the plasma membrane than the endosome. Our observations also indicate that the pronounced variation in content between different exosome-sized vesicles is an inevitable consequence of a stochastic mechanism of small vesicle biogenesis, that the origin membrane of exosome-sized extracellular vesicles simply cannot be determined, and that most of what we currently know about exosomes has likely come from studies of plasma membrane-derived vesicles.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of super-activated platelet lysate (sPL) on wound healing of tooth extraction sockets in rats. Methods Rat models of the tooth extraction socket were established. Thirty-six rats were divided into control and sPL groups and sacrificed on days 7, 14, and 28 after tooth extraction. Bone formation in tooth extraction sockets were observed by microscopic computed tomography (micro-CT) and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), interleukin 6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry; and chemokine and osteogenic gene expressions were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results sPL accelerated soft tissue wound healing in the extraction socket of rats. Micro-CT showed that the amount of bone formation and bone volume fraction were higher in the sPL group than the control 14 days after extraction. HE staining showed promotion of the formation of bony trabeculae by sPL in the apical third of the extraction socket 7 days after extraction and more mature and organized bony trabeculae in the sPL group than the control 14 days after extraction; mature bony trabeculae filling most of the fossa with lesser bone porosity in the socket in the sPL group than the control 28 days after extraction. Immunohistochemistry showed that sPL induced OPG expressions 7 and 14 days after tooth extraction but did not affect the RANKL expression while transiently promoting the IL-6 expression 7 days after extraction. PCR showed that sPL promoted chemokine expressions 7 and 14 days after extraction. The expressions of osteogenesis-related factors were higher in the sPL group than the control 7 and 28 days after extraction, while the opposite trend was observed 14 days after extraction. Conclusion sPL has a transient pro-inflammatory effect and promotes soft tissue healing and bone formation during early wound healing of extraction sockets in rats.

Abstract
The repair of critical bone defects is a hotspot of orthopedic research. With the development of bone tissue engineering (BTE), there is increasing evidence showing that the combined application of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (MSC-EVs), especially exosomes, with hydrogels, scaffolds, and other bioactive materials has made great progress, exhibiting a good potential for bone regeneration. Recent studies have found that miRNAs, proteins, and other cargo loaded in EVs are key factors in promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In BTE, the expression profile of the intrinsic cargo of EVs can be changed by modifying the gene expression of MSCs to obtain EVs with enhanced osteogenic activity and ultimately enhance the osteoinductive ability of bone graft materials. However, the current research on MSC-EVs for repairing bone defects is still in its infancy, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, in this review, the effect of bioactive materials such as hydrogels and scaffolds combined with MSC-EVs in repairing bone defects is summarized, and the mechanism of MSC-EVs promoting bone defect repair by delivering active molecules such as internal miRNAs is further elucidated, which provides a theoretical basis and reference for the clinical application of MSC-EVs in repairing bone defects.

Connection between Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy and Osteoclasts in Osteoarthritis. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094693. [PMID: 35563083 PMCID: PMC9102843 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23094693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of mesenchymal stem cells constitutes a promising therapeutic approach, as it has shown beneficial effects in different pathologies. Numerous in vitro, pre-clinical, and, to a lesser extent, clinical trials have been published for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that affects diarthritic joints in which the most common and studied effect is cartilage degradation. Nowadays, it is known that osteoarthritis is a disease with a very powerful inflammatory component that affects the subchondral bone and the rest of the tissues that make up the joint. This inflammatory component may induce the differentiation of osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing cells. Subchondral bone degradation has been suggested as a key process in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. However, very few published studies directly focus on the activity of mesenchymal stem cells on osteoclasts, contrary to what happens with other cell types of the joint, such as chondrocytes, synoviocytes, and osteoblasts. In this review, we try to gather the published bibliography in relation to the effects of mesenchymal stem cells on osteoclastogenesis. Although we find promising results, we point out the need for further studies that can support mesenchymal stem cells as a therapeutic tool for osteoclasts and their consequences on the osteoarthritic joint.

Abstract
The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is emerging as a promising acellular approach for bone regeneration, overcoming translational hurdles associated with cell-based therapies. Despite their potential, EVs short half-life following systemic administration hinders their therapeutic efficacy. EVs have been reported to bind to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and play an essential role in matrix mineralisation. Chitosan and collagen type I are naturally-derived pro-osteogenic biomaterials, which have been demonstrated to control EV release kinetics. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an injectable ECM-mimetic hydrogel capable of controlling the release of osteoblast-derived EVs to promote bone repair. Pure chitosan hydrogels significantly enhanced compressive modulus (2.48-fold) and osteogenic differentiation (3.07-fold), whilst reducing gelation times (2.09-fold) and proliferation (2.7-fold) compared to pure collagen gels (p ≤ 0.001). EV release was strongly associated with collagen concentration (R2 > 0.94), where a significantly increased EV release profile was observed from chitosan containing gels using the CD63 ELISA (p ≤ 0.001). Hydrogel-released EVs enhanced human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) proliferation (1.12-fold), migration (2.55-fold), and mineralisation (3.25-fold) compared to untreated cells (p ≤ 0.001). Importantly, EV-functionalised chitosan-collagen composites significantly promoted hBMSCs extracellular matrix mineralisation when compared to the EV-free gels in a dose-dependent manner (p ≤ 0.001). Taken together, these findings demonstrate the development of a pro-osteogenic thermosensitive chitosan-collagen hydrogel capable of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of osteoblast-derived EVs as a novel acellular tool for bone augmentation strategy.

Bone Cell Exosomes and Emerging Strategies in Bone Engineering. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10040767.

Abstract
Bone tissue remodeling is a highly regulated process balancing bone formation and resorption through complex cellular crosstalk between resident bone and microenvironment cells. This cellular communication is mediated by direct cell and cell–matrix contact, autocrine, endocrine, and paracrine receptor mediated mechanisms such as local soluble signaling molecules and extracellular vesicles including nanometer sized exosomes. An impairment in this balanced process leads to development of pathological conditions. Bone tissue engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field with potential to address bone defects and disorders by synthesizing three-dimensional bone substitutes embedded with cells for clinical implantation. However, current cell-based therapeutic approaches have faced hurdles due to safety and ethical concerns, challenging their clinical translation. Recent studies on exosome-regulated bone homeostasis and regeneration have gained interest as prospective cell free therapy in conjugation with tissue engineered bone grafts. However, exosome research is still in its nascent stages of bone tissue engineering. In this review, we specifically describe the role of exosomes secreted by cells within bone microenvironment such as osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, mesenchymal stem cell cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, and even tumor cells during bone homeostasis and crosstalk. We also review exosome-based osteoinductive functionalization strategies for various bone-based biomaterials such as ceramics, polymers, and metals in bone tissue engineering. We further highlight biomaterials as carrier agents for exosome delivery to bone defect sites and, finally, the influence of various biomaterials in modulation of cell exosome secretome.

Abstract
Background: Inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles is the major cause of prosthetic loosening after artificial joint replacement, and its prevention and treatment are difficult worldwide. Our previous study confirmed that sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are important mediators regulating the wear particle-induced macrophage inflammatory response. However, it is unclear whether SPHKs can modulate chronic inflammation and alleviate osteolysis. Zoledronic acid (ZA), an imidazole-containing bisphosphonate, directly affects osteoclasts and prevents bone mineral-related diseases. However, the effects of SPHK inhibitors and ZA used to treat periprosthetic osteolysis are unknown. Methods: We applied tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining to evaluate bone destruction in the interface membranes of patients with aseptic loosening and a control group. A murine calvarial osteolysis model was used to examine the preventative effect of SPHK inhibitors and ZA on osteolysis. Micro-CT scanning, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and histomorphometric analysis were conducted to determine the variations in inflammatory osteolysis. The effects of different drug concentrations on cell viability were evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed to confirm the reduced expression of osteoclast-specific genes after drug and titanium treatment. The osteoclast formation and functions of the drugs were analyzed using TRAP staining in vivo and in vitro. The effect of SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1 signaling pathways was verified via RT-qPCR and tissue IHC. Results: In this study, we found that SPHK inhibitors (ABC294640 and FTY720) combined with ZA decreased the degree of inflammatory osteolysis in vivo. However, ABC294640 and ZA suppressed osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast-specific genes in vitro. SPHKs regulate the inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles by increasing the expression of SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1. Conclusion: Our study revealed that wear particles could induce inflammatory osteolysis by upregulating SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1 and SPHK inhibitors/ZA inhibit osteoclastogenesis in vitro and prevent inflammatory osteolysis in vivo, suggesting that SPHK inhibitors and ZA can be a new perspective and scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of prosthesis loosening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to collect the articles concerning mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes for regeneration of bone, cartilage and skin defects. METHOD Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched for keywords "Exosome, MSC, Skin, Bone and Cartilage defects, Regenerative medicine, and extracellular vesicles. RESULTS MSC-derived exosomes can emulate the biological activity of MSCs by horizontal transfer of multiple functional molecules including mRNAs, miRNAs, proteins, and lipids to the local microenvironment and recipient cells, and subsequently mediate restoring homeostasis and tissue regeneration through various mechanisms. Compared to MSCs, MSC-derived exosomes reveal many advantages such as non-immunogenicity, easy access, easy preservation, and extreme stability under various conditions. CONCLUSION Hence, exosomes could be considered as an alternative strategy for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine. In this paper, after describing the characteristics of exosomes, we will review the recent literature on the therapeutic potentials of MSC-derived exosomes in skin, bone, and cartilage repair.

Educating EVs to Improve Bone Regeneration: Getting Closer to the Clinic. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031865.

Abstract
The incidence of bone-related disorders is continuously growing as the aging of the population in developing countries continues to increase. Although therapeutic interventions for bone regeneration exist, their effectiveness is questioned, especially under certain circumstances, such as critical size defects. This gap of curative options has led to the search for new and more effective therapeutic approaches for bone regeneration; among them, the possibility of using extracellular vesicles (EVs) is gaining ground. EVs are secreted, biocompatible, nano-sized vesicles that play a pivotal role as messengers between donor and target cells, mediated by their specific cargo. Evidence shows that bone-relevant cells secrete osteoanabolic EVs, whose functionality can be further improved by several strategies. This, together with the low immunogenicity of EVs and their storage advantages, make them attractive candidates for clinical prospects in bone regeneration. However, before EVs reach clinical translation, a number of concerns should be addressed. Unraveling the EVs’ mode of action in bone regeneration is one of them; the molecular mediators driving their osteoanabolic effects in acceptor cells are now beginning to be uncovered. Increasing the functional and bone targeting abilities of EVs are also matters of intense research. Here, we summarize the cell sources offering osteoanabolic EVs, and the current knowledge about the molecular cargos that mediate bone regeneration. Moreover, we discuss strategies under development to improve the osteoanabolic and bone-targeting potential of EVs.

Abstract
Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is a tool that allows the assessment of bone density. It was first presented by Cameron and Sorenson in 1963 and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Misplacing the femoral neck box, placing a trochanteric line below the midland and improper placement of boundary lines are the most common errors made during a DXA diagnostic test made by auto analysis. Hydroxyapatite is the most important inorganic component of teeth and bone tissue. It is estimated to constitute up to 70% of human bone weight and up to 50% of its volume. Calcium phosphate comes in many forms; however, studies have shown that only tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite have the characteristics that allow their use as bone-substituted materials. The purpose of this study is aimed at analyzing the results of hip densitometry and hydorxyapatite distribution in order to better assess the structure and mineral density of the femoral neck. However, a detailed analysis of the individual density curves shows some qualitative differences that may be important in assessing bone strength in the area under study. To draw more specific conclusions on the therapy applied for individual patients, we need to determine the correct orientation of the bone from the resulting density and document the trends in the density distribution change. The average results presented with the DXA method are insufficient.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have garnered growing attention as promising acellular tools for bone repair. Although EVs' potential for bone regeneration has been shown, issues associated with their therapeutic potency and short half-life in vivo hinders their clinical utility. Epigenetic reprogramming with the histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) has been reported to promote the osteoinductive potency of osteoblast-derived EVs. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels functionalised with the synthetic nanoclay laponite (LAP) have been shown to effectively bind, stabilise, and improve the retention of bioactive factors. This study investigated the potential of utilising a GelMA-LAP hydrogel to improve local retention and control delivery of epigenetically enhanced osteoblast-derived EVs as a novel bone repair strategy. LAP was found to elicit a dose-dependent increase in GelMA compressive modulus and shear-thinning properties. Incorporation of the nanoclay was also found to enhance shape fidelity when 3D printed compared to LAP-free gels. Interestingly, GelMA hydrogels containing LAP displayed increased mineralisation capacity (1.41-fold) (p ≤ 0.01) over 14 days. EV release kinetics from these nanocomposite systems were also strongly influenced by LAP concentration with significantly more vesicles being released from GelMA constructs as detected by a CD63 ELISA (p ≤ 0.001). EVs derived from TSA-treated osteoblasts (TSA-EVs) enhanced proliferation (1.09-fold), migration (1.83-fold), histone acetylation (1.32-fold) and mineralisation (1.87-fold) of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) when released from the GelMA-LAP hydrogel compared to the untreated EV gels (p ≤ 0.01). Importantly, the TSA-EV functionalised GelMA-LAP hydrogel significantly promoted encapsulated hBMSCs extracellular matrix collagen production (≥1.3-fold) and mineralisation (≥1.78-fold) in a dose-dependent manner compared to untreated EV constructs (p ≤ 0.001). Taken together, these findings demonstrate the potential of combining epigenetically enhanced osteoblast-derived EVs with a nanocomposite photocurable hydrogel to promote the therapeutic efficacy of acellular vesicle approaches for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Current medicine has only taken us so far in reducing disease and tissue damage. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are membranous nanostructures produced naturally by cells, have been hailed as a next-generation medicine. EVs deliver various biomolecules, including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which can influence the behaviour of specific target cells. Since EVs not only mirror composition of their parent cells but also modify the recipient cells, they can be used in three key areas of medicine: regenerative medicine, disease detection and drug delivery. In this Review, we discuss the transformational and translational progress witnessed in EV-based medicine to date, focusing on two key elements: the mechanisms by which EVs aid tissue repair (for example, skin and bone tissue regeneration) and the potential of EVs to detect diseases at an early stage with high sensitivity and specificity (for example, detection of glioblastoma). Furthermore, we describe the progress and results of clinical trials of EVs and demonstrate the benefits of EVs when compared with traditional medicine, including cell therapy in regenerative medicine and solid biopsy in disease detection. Finally, we present the challenges, opportunities and regulatory framework confronting the clinical application of EV-based products.

Abstract
Exosomes are cell-derived structures packaged with lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. They exist in diverse bodily fluids and are involved in physiological and pathological processes. Although their potential for clinical application as diagnostic and therapeutic tools has been revealed, a huge bottleneck impeding the development of applications in the rapidly burgeoning field of exosome research is an inability to efficiently isolate pure exosomes from other unwanted components present in bodily fluids. To date, several approaches have been proposed and investigated for exosome separation, with the leading candidate being microfluidic technology due to its relative simplicity, cost-effectiveness, precise and fast processing at the microscale, and amenability to automation. Notably, avoiding the need for exosome labeling represents a significant advance in terms of process simplicity, time, and cost as well as protecting the biological activities of exosomes. Despite the exciting progress in microfluidic strategies for exosome isolation and the countless benefits of label-free approaches for clinical applications, current microfluidic platforms for isolation of exosomes are still facing a series of problems and challenges that prevent their use for clinical sample processing. This review focuses on the recent microfluidic platforms developed for label-free isolation of exosomes including those based on sieving, deterministic lateral displacement, field flow, and pinched flow fractionation as well as viscoelastic, acoustic, inertial, electrical, and centrifugal forces. Further, we discuss advantages and disadvantages of these strategies with highlights of current challenges and outlook of label-free microfluidics toward the clinical utility of exosomes.

Abstract
The estimated cost of acute injuries in college-level sport in the USA is ∼1.5 billion dollars per year, without taking into account the cost of follow up rehabilitation. In addition to this huge financial burden, without appropriate diagnosis and relevant interventions, sport injuries may be career-ending for some athletes. With a growing number of females participating in contact based and pivoting sports, middle aged individuals returning to sport and natural injuries of ageing all increasing, such costs and negative implications for quality of life will expand. For those injuries, which cannot be predicted and prevented, there is a real need, to optimise repair, recovery and function, post-injury in the sporting and clinical worlds. The 21st century has seen a rapid growth in the arena of regenerative medicine for sporting injuries, in a bid to progress recovery and to facilitate return to sport. Such interventions harness knowledge relating to stem cells as a potential for injury repair. While the field is rapidly growing, consideration beyond the stem cells, to the factors they secrete, should be considered in the development of effective, affordable treatments.

Damaged brain accelerates bone healing by releasing small extracellular vesicles that target osteoprogenitors. Nat Commun 2021; 12:6043.

Abstract
Clinical evidence has established that concomitant traumatic brain injury (TBI) accelerates bone healing, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study shows that after TBI, injured neurons, mainly those in the hippocampus, release osteogenic microRNA (miRNA)-enriched small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which targeted osteoprogenitors in bone to stimulate bone formation. We show that miR-328a-3p and miR-150-5p, enriched in the sEVs after TBI, promote osteogenesis by directly targeting the 3'UTR of FOXO4 or CBL, respectively, and hydrogel carrying miR-328a-3p-containing sEVs efficiently repaires bone defects in rats. Importantly, increased fibronectin expression on sEVs surface contributes to targeting of osteoprogenitors in bone by TBI sEVs, thereby implying that modification of the sEVs surface fibronectin could be used in bone-targeted drug delivery. Together, our work unveils a role of central regulation in bone formation and a clear link between injured neurons and osteogenitors, both in animals and clinical settings.
