[PMID: 39169878 PMCID: PMC11346567 DOI: 10.1080/19336950.2024.2393088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 is known to mediate a variety of inflammatory pathways and is also involved in the occurrence and development of many orthopedic diseases. Although its role in the inflammatory mechanism of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been reported, a systematic explanation is yet to be seen. This article aims to summarize the role of inflammatory responses in the pathogenesis of KOA and elucidate the mechanism by which the Piezo1-mediated inflammatory response contributes to the pathogenesis of KOA, providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The results indicate that in the mechanism leading to knee osteoarthritis, Piezo1 can mediate the inflammatory response through chondrocytes and synovial cells, participating in the pathological progression of KOA. Piezo1 has the potential to become a new target for the prevention and treatment of this disease. Additionally, as pain is one of the most severe manifestations in KOA patients, the inflammatory response mediated by Piezo1, which causes the release of inflammatory mediators and pro-inflammatory factors leading to pain, can be further explored.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent chronic joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, pain, and disability. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial quality control dysfunction contributes to OA pathogenesis. Mitochondria are essential organelles to generate cellular energy via oxidative phosphorylation and regulate vital processes. Impaired mitochondria can negatively impact cellular metabolism and result in the generation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Dysfunction in mitochondrial quality control mechanisms has been increasingly linked to OA onset and progression. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial quality control disruption in OA, highlighting disturbed mitochondrial dynamics, impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, antioxidant defenses and mitophagy. The review also discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial Quality Control in OA, offering future perspectives on advancing OA therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Joint diseases greatly impact the daily lives and occupational functioning of patients globally. However, conventional treatments for joint diseases have several limitations, such as unsatisfatory efficacy and side effects, necessitating the exploration of more efficacious therapeutic strategies. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) have demonstrated high therapeutic efficacyin tissue repair and regeneration, with low immunogenicity and tumorigenicity. Recent studies have reported that EVs-based therapy has considerable therapeutic effects against joint diseases, including osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, femoral head osteonecrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Herein, we review the therapeutic potential of various types of MSC-EVs in the aforementioned joint diseases, summarise the mechanisms underlying specific biological effects of MSC-EVs, and discuss future prospects for basic research on MSC-EV-based therapeutic modalities and their clinical translation. In general, this review provides an in-depth understanding of the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs in joint diseases, as well as the underlying mechanisms, which may be beneficial to the clinical translation of MSC-EV-based treatment. The translational potential of this article: MSC-EV-based cell-free therapy can effectively promote regeneration and tissue repair. When used to treat joint diseases, MSC-EVs have demonstrated desirable therapeutic effects in preclinical research. This review may supplement further research on MSC-EV-based treatment of joint diseases and its clinical translation.

Investigating the differential therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at various passages in osteoarthritis treatment. Tissue Cell 2024; 90:102499.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) from different passages (P3, P8, and P13) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and explore the underlying mechanisms. The hUC-MSCs from each passage were characterized and evaluated for their stemness, migration, proliferation, and marker expression. Rats with OA were treated with hUC-MSCs from each passage, and the therapeutic effects were assessed based on knee swelling, discomfort, and pathological examination of the knee joint. Co-culture experiments were conducted to examine the ability of hUC-MSCs to stimulate type II collagen synthesis and inhibit MMP13 expression in chondrocytes. Telomere length and telomerase activity of hUC-MSCs from each passage were measured to investigate the reasons for the observed differences in clinical efficacy. The results revealed that P3 and P8 hUC-MSCs exhibited superior osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential compared to P13, while P13 demonstrated stronger adipogenic differentiation. The wound healing rate was significantly higher in the P3 and P8 groups compared to P13. All hUC-MSC groups expressed high levels of CD90 and CD105, indicating their mesenchymal stem cell characteristics, while CD31 and CD45 were not expressed. CD105 expression was significantly reduced in the P13 group. In the treatment of rat osteoarthritis, there were no significant differences in knee swelling, discomfort, Mankin scores, and pathological findings between P3 and P8 hUC-MSC treatments. However, there was a significant difference between the 8th and 13th passages. Co-culture experiments showed that hUC-MSCs from P3 and P8 enhanced type II collagen synthesis and reduced MMP13 expression in chondrocytes. Although no significant difference was observed between the P3 and P8 groups, a significant difference was found between the P13 and P8 groups. Telomere length analysis revealed that P13 samples had significantly shorter telomeres compared to both P3 and P8. The telomerase activity was positive in P3 and P8 hUC-MSCs, indicating no significant difference between these passages, while it was negative in P13 hUC-MSCs. In conclusion, P3 and P8 hUC-MSCs exhibited superior therapeutic potential for knee osteoarthritis compared to P13, possibly due to their enhanced differentiation capacity and telomerase activity.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease that afflicts more than 250 million people worldwide, impairing their mobility and quality of life. However, conventional drug therapy is palliative. Exosomes (Exo), although with the potential to fundamentally repair cartilage, face challenges in their efficient enrichment and delivery. In this study, we developed magnetic polysaccharide hydrogel particles as microcarriers for synergistic therapy of OA. The microcarriers were composed of modified natural polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid (HAMA), and chondroitin sulfate (CSMA), and were generated from microfluidic electrospray in combination with a cryogelation process. Magnetic nanoparticles with spiny structures capable of capturing stem cell Exo were encapsulated within the microcarriers together with an anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium (DS). The released DS and Exo from the microcarriers had a synergistic effect in alleviating the OA symptoms and promoting cartilage repair. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the excellent performance of the microcarrier for OA treatment. We believe this work has potential for Exo therapy of OA and other related diseases.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7263.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disorder that is distinguished by inflammation and chronic cartilage damage. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the catabolic processes that underlie the pathogenesis of OA. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic efficacy of exosomes derived from untreated bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC-Exo) and those treated with cinnamaldehyde (BMMSC-CA-Exo) for preventing the in vitro catabolic effects of IL-1β on chondrocytes. We stimulated chondrocytes with IL-1β to mimic the inflammatory microenvironment of OA. We then treated these chondrocytes with BMMSC-Exo and BMMSC-CA-Exo isolated via an aqueous two-phase system and evaluated their effects on the key cellular processes using molecular techniques. Our findings revealed that treatment with BMMSC-Exo reduces the catabolic effects of IL-1β on chondrocytes and alleviates inflammation. However, further studies directly comparing treatments with BMMSC-Exo and BMMSC-CA-Exo are needed to determine if CA preconditioning can provide additional anti-inflammatory benefits to the exosomes beyond those of CA preconditioning or treatment with regular BMMSC-Exo. Through a comprehensive molecular analysis, we elucidated the regulatory mechanisms underlying this protective effect. We found a significant downregulation of proinflammatory signaling pathways in exosome-infected chondrocytes, suggesting the potential modulation of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling cascades. Furthermore, our study identified the molecular cargo of BMMSC-Exo and BMMSC-CA-Exo, determining the key molecules, such as anti-inflammatory cytokines and cartilage-associated factors, that may contribute to their acquisition of chondroprotective properties. In summary, BMMSC-Exo and BMMSC-CA-Exo exhibit the potential as therapeutic agents for OA by antagonizing the in vitro catabolic effects of IL-1β on chondrocytes. The regulation of the proinflammatory signaling pathways and bioactive molecules delivered by the exosomes suggests a multifaceted mechanism of action. These findings highlight the need for further investigation into exosome-based therapies for OA and joint-related diseases.

Abstract
In this study, the regulatory role and mechanisms of tantalum (Ta) particles in the bone tissue microenvironment are explored. Ta particle deposition occurs in both clinical samples and animal tissues following porous Ta implantation. Unlike titanium (Ti) particles promoting M1 macrophage (Mϕ) polarization, Ta particles regulating calcium signaling pathways and promoting M2 Mϕ polarization. Ta-induced M2 Mϕ enhances bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation through exosomes (Exo) by upregulating miR-378a-3p/miR-221-5p and downregulating miR-155-5p/miR-212-5p. Ta particles suppress the pro-inflammatory and bone resorption effects of Ti particles in vivo and in vitro. In a rat femoral condyle bone defect model, artificial bone loaded with Ta particles promotes endogenous Mϕ polarization toward M2 differentiation at the defect site, accelerating bone repair. In conclusion, Ta particles modulate Mϕ polarization toward M2 and influence BMSCs osteogenic capacity through Exo secreted by M2 Mϕ, providing insights for potential bone repair applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease which currently lacks of effective agents. It is therefore urgent and necessary to seek an effective approach that can inhibit inflammation and promote cartilage matrix homeostasis. Cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs) are identified as a cell population of superficial zone in articular cartilage which possess strong migration ability, proliferative capacity, and chondrogenic potential. Recently, the application of CPCs may represent a novel cell therapy strategy for OA treatment. There is growing evidence that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are primary mediators of the benefits of stem cell-based therapy. In this study, we explored the protective effects of CPCs-derived EVs (CPCs-EVs) on IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. We found CPCs-EVs exhibited chondro-protective effects in vitro. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that CPCs-EVs promoted matrix anabolism and inhibited inflammatory response at least partially via blocking STAT3 activation. In addition, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis identified 991 proteins encapsulated in CPCs-EVs. By bioinformatics analysis, we showed that STAT3 regulatory proteins were enriched in CPCs-EVs and could be transported to chondrocytes. To promoting the protective function of CPCs-EVs in vivo, CPCs-EVs were modified with cationic peptide ε-polylysine-polyethylene-distearyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PPD) for surface charge reverse. In posttraumatic OA mice, our results showed PPD modified CPCs-EVs (PPD-EVs) effectively inhibited extracellular matrix catabolism and attenuated cartilage degeneration. Moreover, PPD-EVs down-regulated inflammatory factors expressions and reduced OA-related pain in OA mice. In ex-vivo cultured OA cartilage explants, PPD-EVs successfully promoted matrix anabolism and inhibited inflammation. Collectively, CPCs-EVs-based cell-free therapy is a promising strategy for OA treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory bone disease is a general term for a series of diseases caused by chronic inflammation, which leads to the destruction of bone homeostasis, that is, the osteolytic activity of osteoclasts increases, and the osteogenic activity of osteoblasts decreases, leading to osteolysis. Macrophages are innate immune cell with plasticity, and their polarization is related to inflammatory bone diseases. The dynamic balance of macrophages between the M1 phenotype and the M2 phenotype affects the occurrence and development of diseases. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that extracellular vesicles existing in the extracellular environment can act on macrophages, affecting the progress of inflammatory diseases. This process is realized by influencing the physiological activity or functional activity of macrophages, inducing macrophages to secrete cytokines, and playing an anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory role. In addition, by modifying and editing extracellular vesicles, the potential of targeting macrophages can be used to provide new ideas for developing new drug carriers for inflammatory bone diseases.

Abstract
Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a common childhood condition with largely unknown underlying causes. Recent research highlights the role of circulating exosomes in the pathogenesis of various disorders, but their connection to ISS remains unexplored. In the experiments, human chondrocytes are cocultured with plasma exosomes from ISS patients, leading to impaired chondrocyte growth and bone formation. Elevated levels of a specific long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), ISSRL, are identified as a distinguishing factor in ISS, boasting high specificity and sensitivity. Silencing ISSRL in ISS plasma exosomes reverses the inhibition of chondrocyte proliferation and bone formation. Conversely, overexpression of ISSRL in chondrocytes impedes their growth and bone formation, revealing its mechanism of action through the miR-877-3p/GZMB axis. Subsequently, exosomes (CT-Exo-siISSRL-oeGH) with precise cartilage-targeting abilities are engineered, loaded with customized siRNA for ISSRL and growth hormone. This innovative approach offers a therapeutic strategy to address ISS by rectifying abnormal non-coding RNA expression in growth plate cartilage and delivering growth hormone with precision to promote bone growth. This research provides valuable insights into ISS diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the potential of engineered exosomes.

Abstract
An imbalance between M1 and M2 macrophage polarization is critical in osteoarthritis (OA) development. We investigated the effect of M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2-EVs) to reprogramme macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype for OA treatment. M1 macrophages and mouse OA models were treated with M2-EVs. Proteomic analysis was performed to evaluate macrophage polarization in vitro. The OA models were as follows: destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery-induced OA and collagenase-induced OA (CIOA). Hyaluronic acid (HA) was used to deliver M2-EVs. M2-EVs decreased macrophage accumulation, repolarized macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype, mitigated synovitis, reduced cartilage degradation, alleviated subchondral bone damage, and improved gait abnormalities in the CIOA and DMM models. Moreover, HA increased the retention time of M2-EVs and enhanced the efficiency of M2-EVs in OA treatment. Furthermore, proteomic analysis demonstrated that M2-EVs exhibited a macrophage reprogramming ability similar to IL-4, and the pathways might be the NOD-like receptor (NLR), TNF, NF-κB, and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways. M2-EVs reprogrammed macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype, which resulted in beneficial effects on cartilage and attenuation of OA severity. In summary, our study indicated that M2-EV-guided reprogramming of macrophages is a promising treatment strategy for OA.

Abstract
Exosomal biomarker detection holds great importance in the field of in vitro diagnostics, offering a non-invasive and highly sensitive approach for early disease detection and personalized treatment. Here, we proposed an "APPROACH" strategy, combining aptamer-mediated proximity ligation assay (PLA) with rolling circle amplification (RCA) and time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) for the sensitive and semi-homogenous detection of exosomal biomarkers. PLA probes consisted of a cholesterol-conjugated oligonucleotide, which anchored to the membrane of an exosome, and a specific aptamer oligonucleotide that recognized a target protein of the exosome; the proximal binding of pairs of PLA probes to the same exosome positioned the oligonucleotides in the vicinity of each other, guiding the hybridization and ligation of two subsequently added backbone and connector oligonucleotides to form a circular DNA molecule. Circular DNA formed from PLA underwent rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification, and the resulting RCA products were subsequently quantified by TR-FRET. The limits of detection provided by APPROACH for the exosomal biomarkers CD63, PD-L1, and HER2 were 0.46 ng∙μL-1, 0.77 ng∙μL-1, and 1.1 ng∙μL-1, respectively, demonstrating excellent analytical performance with high sensitivity and quantification accuracy. Furthermore, the strategy afforded sensitive detection of exosomal CD63 with a LOD of 1.56 ng∙μL-1 in complex biological matrices, which underscored its anti-interference capability and potential for in vitro detection. The proposed strategy demonstrates wide-ranging applicability in quantifying diverse exosomal biomarkers while exhibiting robust analytical characteristics, including high sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a low-grade, nonspecific inflammatory disease that affects the entire joint. This condition is characterized by synovitis, cartilage erosion, subchondral bone defects, and subpatellar fat pad damage. There is mounting evidence demonstrating the significance of crosstalk between synovitis and cartilage destruction in the development of OA. To comprehensively explore the phenotypic alterations of synovitis and cartilage destruction, it is important to elucidate the crosstalk mechanisms between chondrocytes and synovial cells. Furthermore, the updated iteration of single-cell sequencing technology reveals the interaction between chondrocyte and synovial cells. In the present review, the histological and pathological alterations between cartilage and synovium during OA progression are described, and the mode of interaction and molecular mechanisms between synovial cells and chondrocytes in OA, both of which affect the OA process mainly by altering the inflammatory environment and cellular state, are elucidated. Finally, the current OA therapeutic approaches are summarized and emerging therapeutic targets are reviewed in an attempt to provide potential insights into OA treatment.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal injuries such as equine osteoarthritis, osteoarticular defects, tendonitis/desmitis, and muscular disorders are prevalent among sport horses, with a fair prognosis for returning to exercise or previous performance levels. The field of equine medicine has witnessed rapid and fruitful development, resulting in a diverse range of therapeutic options for musculoskeletal problems. Staying abreast of these advancements can be challenging, prompting the need for a comprehensive review of commonly used and recent treatments. The aim is to compile current therapeutic options for managing these injuries, spanning from simple to complex physiotherapy techniques, conservative treatments including steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hyaluronic acid, polysulfated glycosaminoglycans, pentosan polysulfate, and polyacrylamides, to promising regenerative therapies such as hemoderivatives and stem cell-based therapies. Each therapeutic modality is scrutinized for its benefits, limitations, and potential synergistic actions to facilitate their most effective application for the intended healing/regeneration of the injured tissue/organ and subsequent patient recovery. While stem cell-based therapies have emerged as particularly promising for equine musculoskeletal injuries, a multidisciplinary approach is underscored throughout the discussion, emphasizing the importance of considering various therapeutic modalities in tandem.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can deliver various bioactive molecules among cells, making them promising diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives in diseases. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) have shown therapeutic potential similar to MSCs but with drawbacks such as lower yield, reduced biological activities, off-target effects, and shorter half-lives. Improving strategies utilizing biotechniques to pretreat MSCs and enhance the properties of released EVs, as well as modifying MSC-EVs to enhance targeting abilities and achieve controlled release, shows potential for overcoming application limitations and enhancing therapeutic effects in treating bone-related diseases. This review focuses on recent advances in functionalizing MSC-EVs to treat bone-related diseases. Firstly, we underscore the significance of MSC-EVs in facilitating crosstalk between cells within the skeletal environment. Secondly, we highlight strategies of functional-modified EVs for treating bone-related diseases. We explore the pretreatment of stem cells using various biotechniques to enhance the properties of resulting EVs, as well as diverse approaches to modify MSC-EVs for targeted delivery and controlled release. Finally, we address the challenges and opportunities for further research on MSC-EVs in bone-related diseases.

Abstract
The severity of osteoarthritis (OA) and cartilage degeneration is highly associated with synovial inflammation. Although recent investigations have revealed a dysregulated crosstalk between fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and macrophages in the pathogenesis of synovitis, limited knowledge is available regarding the involvement of exosomes. Here, increased exosome secretion is observed in FLSs from OA patients. Notably, internalization of inflammatory FLS-derived exosomes (inf-exo) can enhance the M1 polarization of macrophages, which further induces an OA-like phenotype in co-cultured chondrocytes. Intra-articular injection of inf-exo induces synovitis and exacerbates OA progression in murine models. In addition, it is demonstrated that inf-exo stimulation triggers the activation of glycolysis. Inhibition of glycolysis using 2-DG successfully attenuates excessive M1 polarization triggered by inf-exo. Mechanistically, HIF1A is identified as the determinant transcription factor, inhibition of which, both pharmacologically or genetically, relieves macrophage inflammation triggered by inf-exo-induced hyperglycolysis. Furthermore, in vivo administration of an HIF1A inhibitor alleviates experimental OA. The results provide novel insights into the involvement of FLS-derived exosomes in OA pathogenesis, suggesting that inf-exo-induced macrophage dysfunction represents an attractive target for OA therapy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis affects 15% of people over 65 years of age. It is characterized by articular cartilage degradation and inflammation, leading to joint pain and disability. Osteoarthritis is incurable and the patients may eventually need joint replacement. An emerging treatment is mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), with over two hundred clinical trials being registered. However, the outcomes of these trials have fallen short of the expectation, due to heterogeneity of MSCs and uncertain mechanisms of action. It is generally believed that MSCs exert their function mainly by secreting immunomodulatory and trophic factors. Here we used knee osteoarthritis mouse model to assess the therapeutic effects of MSCs isolated from the white adipose or dermal adipose tissue of Prrx1-Cre; R26tdTomato mice and Dermo1-Cre; R26tdTomato mice. We found that the Prrx1-lineage MSCs from the white adipose tissues showed the greatest in vitro differentiation potentials among the four MSC groups and single cell profiling showed that the Prrx1-lineage MSCs contained more stem cells than the Dermo1 counterpart. Only the Prrx1-lineage cells isolated from white adipose tissues showed long-term therapeutic effectiveness on early-stage osteoarthritis models. Mechanistically, Prrx1-lineage MSCs differentiated into Col2+ chondrocytes and replaced the damage cartilage, activated Col1 expressing in resident chondrocytes, and inhibited synovial inflammation. Transcriptome analysis showed that the articular chondrocytes derived from injected MSCs expressed immunomodulatory cytokines, trophic factors, and chondrocyte-specific genes. Our study identified a MSC population genetically marked by Prrx1 that has great multipotentiality and can differentiate into chondrocytes to replace the damaged cartilage.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that involves mainly synovitis and joint injury and is one of the main causes of disability. The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is complicated, and the treatment cycle is long. The traditional methods of inhibiting inflammation and immunosuppression are no longer sufficient for treatment of the disease, so there is an urgent need to seek new treatments. The exocrine microenvironment is a kind of microvesicle with a lipid bilayer membrane structure that can be secreted by most cells in the body. This structure contains cell-specific proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that can transmit this information from one cell to another. To achieve cell-to-cell communication. Exocrine microRNAs can be contained in exocrine cells and can be selectively transferred to target receptor cells via exocrine signaling, thus regulating the physiological function of target cells. This article focuses on the pathological changes that occur during the development of rheumatoid arthritis and the biological regulation of exocrine and exocrine microRNAs in rheumatoid joints. Research on the roles of exocrine and exocrine microRNAs in regulating the inflammatory response, cell proliferation/apoptosis, autophagy, effects on fibroblast-like synoviocytes and immune regulation in rheumatoid arthritis was reviewed. In addition, the challenges faced by this new treatment are discussed.

Abstract
As the largest human organ, the skin is continuously exposed to various external and internal triggers that affect body homeostasis. Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory skin condition that has a major bearing on patients' physiological functioning as well as their mental well-being. It is an autoimmune disorder and has been the focus of extensive research efforts in recent years. Cells secrete exosomes into the environment surrounding them, which comprises a lipid bilayer. The movement of cellular components like microRNAs, mRNAs, DNA, lipids, metabolites, and cell-surface proteins is mediated by exosomes. Exosomes are crucial for inducing communication between cells. There has been extensive study of exosomes, both preclinical and clinical, looking at their potential role in autoimmune diseases. Besides the role that they play in the body's basic processes, exosomes are also considered an increasingly essential part as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In the following article, we conduct a literature review of current studies related to molecular and structural aspects of exosomes. We emphasis on the function of exosomes in pathogenesis, as well as the possibility of their usage in medicinal applications and as biomarkers.

Abstract
Breast cancer continues to pose a substantial worldwide health concern, demanding a thorough comprehension of the complex interaction between cancerous cells and the immune system. Recent studies have shown the significant function of exosomes in facilitating intercellular communication and their participation in the advancement of cancer. Tumor-derived exosomes have been identified as significant regulators in the context of breast cancer, playing a crucial role in modulating immune cell activity and contributing to the advancement of the illness. This study aims to investigate the many effects of tumor-derived exosomes on immune cells in the setting of breast cancer. Specifically, we will examine their role in influencing immune cell polarization, facilitating immunological evasion, and modifying the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, we explore the nascent domain of exosomes produced from immune cells and their prospective involvement in the prevention of breast cancer. This paper focuses on new research that emphasizes the immunomodulatory characteristics of exosomes produced from immune cells. It also explores the possibility of these exosomes as therapeutic agents or biomarkers for the early identification and prevention of breast cancer. The exploration of the reciprocal connections between exosomes formed from tumors and immune cells, together with the rising significance of exosomes derived from immune cells, presents a potential avenue for the advancement of novel approaches in the field of breast cancer therapy and prevention.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are used in many studies due to their therapeutic potential, including their differentiative ability and immunomodulatory properties. These cells perform their therapeutic functions by using various mechanisms, such as the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, direct cell-to-cell contact, extracellular vesicles (EVs) production, and mitochondrial transfer. However, mechanisms related to immune checkpoints (ICPs) and their effect on the immunomodulatory ability of MSCs are less discussed. The main function of ICPs is to prevent the initiation of unwanted responses and to regulate the immune system responses to maintain the homeostasis of these responses. ICPs are produced by various types of immune system regulatory cells, and defects in their expression and function may be associated with excessive responses that can ultimately lead to autoimmunity. Also, by expressing different types of ICPs and their ligands (ICPLs), tumor cells prevent the formation and durability of immune responses, which leads to tumors' immune escape. ICPs and ICPLs can be produced by MSCs and affect immune cell responses both through their secretion into the microenvironment or direct cell-to-cell interaction. Pre-treatment of MSCs in inflammatory conditions leads to an increase in their therapeutic potential. In addition to the effect that inflammatory environments have on the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines by MSCs, they can increase the expression of various types of ICPLs. In this review, we discuss different types of ICPLs and ICPs expressed by MSCs and their effect on their immunomodulatory and therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic musculoskeletal diseases among the elderly population. In this study, macrophage-derived exosomes were isolated and identified. Exosomes were subjected to microRNA (miRNA) sequencing and bioinformatic analysis, and differentially expressed miRNAs were verified. miR-26b-5p target genes were confirmed through target-site mutation combined with a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The effects of miR-26b-5p on macrophage polarization and chondrocyte hypertrophy were assessed in vitro. miR-26b-5p agomir was applied to mice with OA induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). The therapeutic effects of miR-26b-5p were evaluated via pain behavior experiments and histological observations. In vitro, miR-26b-5p repolarized M1 macrophages to an anti-inflammatory M2 type by targeting the TLR3 signaling pathway. miR-26b-5p could target COL10A1, further inhibiting chondrocyte hypertrophy induced by M1 macrophage-conditioned medium (M1-CM). In vivo, miR-26b-5p agomir ameliorated gait abnormalities and mechanical allodynia in OA mice. miR-26b-5p treatment attenuated synovitis and cartilage degeneration, thereby delaying OA progression. In conclusion, M2 macrophage-derived exosomal miR-26b-5p could protect articular cartilage and ameliorate gait abnormalities in OA mice by targeting TLR3 and COL10A1. miR-26b-5p further affected macrophage polarization and chondrocyte hypertrophy. Thus, this exosomal miR-26b-5p-based strategy might be a potential method for OA treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative musculoskeletal disease, severely impacting the function of patients and potentially leading to disability, especially among the elderly population. Natural products (NPs), obtained from components or metabolites of plants, animals, microorganisms etc., have gained significant attention as important conservative treatments for various diseases. Recently, NPs have been well studied in preclinical and clinical researches, showing promising potential in the treatment of OA. In this review, we summed up the main signaling pathways affected by NPs in OA treatment, including NF-κB, MAPKs, PI3K/AKT, SIRT1, and other pathways, which are related to inflammation, anabolism and catabolism, and cell death. In addition, we described the therapeutic effects of NPs in different OA animal models and the current clinical studies in OA patients. At last, we discussed the potential research directions including in-depth analysis of the mechanisms and new application strategies of NPs for the OA treatment, so as to promote the basic research and clinical transformation in the future. We hope that this review may allow us to get a better understanding about the potential bioeffects and mechanisms of NPs in OA therapy, and ultimately improve the effectiveness of NPs-based clinical conservative treatment for OA patients.

A Novel Cargo Delivery System-AnCar-Exo LaIMTS Ameliorates Arthritis via Specifically Targeting Pro-Inflammatory Macrophages. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2306143.

Abstract
Macrophages are heterogenic phagocytic cells that play distinct roles in physiological and pathological processes. Targeting different types of macrophages has shown potent therapeutic effects in many diseases. Although many approaches are developed to target anti-inflammatory macrophages, there are few researches on targeting pro-inflammatory macrophages, which is partially attributed to their non-s pecificity phagocytosis of extracellular substances. In this study, a novel recombinant protein is constructed that can be anchored on an exosome membrane with the purpose of targeting pro-inflammatory macrophages via antigen recognition, which is named AnCar-ExoLaIMTS . The data indicate that the phagocytosis efficiencies of pro-inflammatory macrophages for different AnCar-ExoLaIMTS show obvious differences. The AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 has the best targeting ability for pro-inflammatory macrophages in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 can specifically recognize the leucine-rich repeat domain of the TLR4 receptor, and then enter into pro-inflammatory macrophages via the TLR4-mediated receptor endocytosis pathway. Moreover, AnCar-ExoLaIMTS3 can efficiently deliver therapeutic cargo to pro-inflammatory macrophages and inhibit the synovial inflammatory response via downregulation of HIF-1α level, thus ameliorating the severity of arthritis in vivo. Collectively, the work established a novel gene/drug delivery system that can specifically target pro-inflammatory macrophages, which may be beneficial for the treatments of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

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
Chronic liver conditions are associated with high mortality rates and have a large adverse effect on human well-being as well as a significant financial burden. Currently, the only effective treatment available for the effects of liver failure and cirrhosis resulting from the progression of several chronic liver diseases is liver transplantation carried out at the original location. This implies that developing novel and effective treatments is imperative. Regenerative medicine has long been associated with stem cell therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a type of cell with great differentiation potential, have become the preferred source for stem cell therapy. According to recent studies, MSCs' paracrine products-rather than their capacity for differentiation-play a significant therapeutic effect. MSC exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicle (MSC-EV), came into view as the paracrine substances of MSCs. According to research, MSC exosomes can maintain tissue homeostasis, which is necessary for healthy tissue function. All tissues contain them, and they take part in a variety of biological activities that support cellular activity and tissue regeneration in order to preserve tissue homeostasis. The outcomes support the use of MSCs and the exosomes they produce as a therapeutic option for a range of diseases. This review provides a brief overview of the source of MSC-EVs and outlines their physiological roles and biochemical capabilities. The elucidation of the role of MSC-EVs in the recovery and repair of hepatic tissues, as well as their contribution to maintaining tissue homeostasis, is discussed in relation to different chronic liver diseases. This review aims to provide new insights into the unique roles that MSC-EVs play in the treatment of chronic liver diseases.

Abstract
This review in sports medicine focuses on the critical role of exosomes in managing chronic conditions and enhancing athletic performance. Exosomes, small vesicles produced by various cells, are essential for cellular communication and transporting molecules like proteins and nucleic acids. Originating from the endoplasmic reticulum, they play a vital role in modulating inflammation and tissue repair. Their significance in sports medicine is increasingly recognized, particularly in healing athletic injuries, improving articular cartilage lesions, and osteoarthritic conditions by modulating cellular behavior and aiding tissue regeneration. Investigations also highlight their potential in boosting athletic performance, especially through myocytes-derived exosomes that may enhance adaptability to physical training. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, this review underlines the need to thoroughly understand exosome biology, including their pathways and classifications, to fully exploit their therapeutic potential. It outlines future directions in sports medicine, focusing on personalized treatments, clinical evaluations, and embracing technological advancements. This research represents a frontier in using exosomes to improve athletes' health and performance capabilities.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a significant impact on the pathophysiological processes associated with various diseases such as tumors, inflammation, and infection. They exhibit molecular, biochemical, and entry control characteristics similar to viral infections. Viruses, on the other hand, depend on host metabolic machineries to fulfill their biosynthetic requirements. Due to potential advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradation, and efficient immune activation, EVs have emerged as potential therapeutic targets against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Studies on COVID-19 patients have shown that they frequently have dysregulated lipid profiles, which are associated with an increased risk of severe repercussions. Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as organelles with significant roles in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis as well as having a wide range of functions in infections. The down-modulation of lipids, such as sphingolipid ceramide and eicosanoids, or of the transcriptional factors involved in lipogenesis seem to inhibit the viral multiplication, suggesting their involvement in the virus replication and pathogenesis as well as highlighting their potential as targets for drug development. Hence, this review focuses on the role of modulation of lipid metabolism and EVs in the mechanism of immune system evasion during SARS-CoV-2 infection and explores the therapeutic potential of EVs as well as application for delivering therapeutic substances to mitigate viral infections.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defect therapy is still dissatisfactory in clinic. Direct cell implantation faces challenges, such as tumorigenicity, immunogenicity, and uncontrollability. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) based cell-free therapy becomes a promising alternative approach for cartilage regeneration. Even though, EVs from different cells exhibit heterogeneous characteristics and effects. The aim of the study was to discover the functions of EVs from the cells during chondrogenesis timeline on cartilage regeneration. Here, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-EVs, juvenile chondrocytes-EVs, and adult chondrocytes-EVs were used to represent the EVs at different differentiation stages, and fibroblast-EVs as surrounding signals were also joined to compare. Fibroblasts-EVs showed the worst effect on chondrogenesis. While juvenile chondrocyte-EVs and adult chondrocyte-EVs showed comparable effect on chondrogenic differentiation as BMSCs-EVs, BMSCs-EVs showed the best effect on cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, the amount of EVs secreted from BMSCs were much more than that from chondrocytes. An injectable decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogel from small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was fabricated as the EVs delivery platform with natural matrix microenvironment. In a rat model, BMSCs-EVs loaded SIS hydrogel was injected into the articular cartilage defects and significantly enhanced cartilage regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, protein proteomics revealed BMSCs-EVs specifically upregulated multiple metabolic and biosynthetic processes, which might be the potential mechanism. Thus, injectable SIS hydrogel loaded with BMSCs-EVs might be a promising therapeutic way for articular cartilage defect.

Mechanical loading intensities affect the release of extracellular vesicles from mouse bone marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells and change their osteoclast-modulating effect.

Abstract
Low-intensity loading maintains or increases bone mass, whereas lack of mechanical loading and high-intensity loading decreases bone mass, possibly via the release of extracellular vesicles by mechanosensitive bone cells. How different loading intensities alter the biological effect of these vesicles is not fully understood. Dynamic fluid shear stress at low intensity (0.7 ± 0.3 Pa, 5 Hz) or high intensity (2.9 ± 0.2 Pa, 1 Hz) was used on mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells for 2 min in the presence or absence of chemical compounds that inhibit release or biogenesis of extracellular vesicles. We used a Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand-induced osteoclastogenesis assay to evaluate the biological effect of different fractions of extracellular vesicles obtained through centrifugation of medium from hematopoietic stem cells. Osteoclast formation was reduced by microvesicles (10 000× g) obtained after low-intensity loading and induced by exosomes (100 000× g) obtained after high-intensity loading. These osteoclast-modulating effects could be diminished or eliminated by depletion of extracellular vesicles from the conditioned medium, inhibition of general extracellular vesicle release, inhibition of microvesicle biogenesis (low intensity), inhibition of ESCRT-independent exosome biogenesis (high intensity), as well as by inhibition of dynamin-dependent vesicle uptake in osteoclast progenitor cells. Taken together, the intensity of mechanical loading affects the release of extracellular vesicles and change their osteoclast-modulating effect.

Abstract
Synovial fluid (SF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pathogenic role in osteoarthritis (OA). However, the surface markers, cell and tissue origins, and effectors of these EVs are largely unknown. We found that SF EVs contained 692 peptides that were positively associated with knee radiographic OA severity; 57.4% of these pathogenic peptides were from 46 proteins of the immune system, predominantly the innate immune system. CSPG4, BGN, NRP1, and CD109 are the major surface markers of pathogenic SF EVs. Genes encoding surface marker CSPG4 and CD109 were highly expressed by chondrocytes from damaged cartilage, while VISG4, MARCO, CD163 and NRP1 were enriched in the synovial immune cells. The frequency of CSPG4+ and VSIG4+ EV subpopulations in OA SF was high. We conclude that pathogenic SF EVs carry knee OA severity-associated proteins and specific surface markers, which could be developed as a new source of diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets in OA.

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
With the increasingly prominent problem of population aging, osteoarthritis (OA), which is closely related to aging, has become a serious illness affecting the lives and health of elderly individuals. However, effective treatments are still lacking. OA is typically considered a low-grade inflammatory state. The inflammatory infiltration of macrophages, neutrophils, T cells, and other cells is common in diseased joints. These cells create the inflammatory environment of OA and are involved in the onset and progression of the disease. Exosomes, a type of complex vesicle containing abundant RNA molecules and proteins, play a crucial role in the physiological and pathological processes of an organism. In comparison to other therapeutic methods such as stem cells, exosomes have distinct advantages of precise targeting and low immunogenicity. Moreover, research and techniques related to exosomes are more mature, indicating a promising future in disease treatment. Many studies have shown that the impact of exosomes on the inflammatory microenvironment directly or indirectly leads to the occurrence of various diseases. Furthermore, exosomes can be helpful in the management of illnesses. This article provides a comprehensive review and update on the research of exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicle, in the treatment of OA by modulating the inflammatory microenvironment. It also combines innovative studies on the modification of exosomes. In general, the application of exosomes in the treatment of OA has been validated, and the introduction of modified exosome technology holds potential for enhancing its therapeutic efficacy.

Multi-Omic Temporal Landscape of Plasma and Synovial Fluid-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Using an Experimental Model of Equine Osteoarthritis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14888.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to osteoarthritis pathogenesis through their release into joint tissues and synovial fluid. Synovial fluid-derived EVs have the potential to be direct biomarkers in the causal pathway of disease but also enable understanding of their role in disease progression. Utilizing a temporal model of osteoarthritis, we defined the changes in matched synovial fluid and plasma-derived EV small non-coding RNA and protein cargo using sequencing and mass spectrometry. Data exploration included time series clustering, factor analysis and gene enrichment interrogation. Chondrocyte signalling was analysed using luciferase-based transcription factor activity assays. EV protein cargo appears to be more important during osteoarthritis progression than small non-coding RNAs. Cluster analysis revealed plasma-EVs represented a time-dependent response to osteoarthritis induction associated with supramolecular complexes. Clusters for synovial fluid-derived EVs were associated with initial osteoarthritis response and represented immune/inflammatory pathways. Factor analysis for plasma-derived EVs correlated with day post-induction and were primarily composed of proteins modulating lipid metabolism. Synovial fluid-derived EVs factors represented intermediate filament and supramolecular complexes reflecting tissue repair. There was a significant interaction between time and osteoarthritis for CRE, NFkB, SRE, SRF with a trend for osteoarthritis synovial fluid-derived EVs at later time points to have a more pronounced effect.

Abstract
Increasing evidence highlights a robust correlation between the gut microbiota and bone diseases; however, the existence of a causal relationship between them remains unclear. In this study, we thoroughly examined the correlation between gut microbiota and skeletal diseases using genome-wide association studies. Linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization were used to probe genetic causality. Furthermore, the potential mediating role of neuropsychological states (i.e., cognition, depression, and insomnia) between the gut microbiota and bone diseases was evaluated using mediation analysis, with genetic colocalization analysis revealing potential targets. These findings suggest a direct causal relationship between Ruminococcaceae and knee osteoarthritis (OA), which appears to be mediated by cognitive performance and insomnia. Similarly, a causal association was observed between Burkholderiales and lumbar pelvic fractures, mediated by cognitive performance. Colocalization analysis identified a shared causal variant (rs2352974) at the TRAF-interacting protein locus for cognitive ability and knee OA. This study provides compelling evidence that alterations in the gut microbiota can enhance cognitive ability, ameliorate insomnia, and potentially reduce the risk of site-specific fractures and OA. Therefore, strategies targeting gut microbiota optimization could serve as novel and effective preventive measures against fractures and OA.

Abstract
Exosomes, remarkable extracellular vesicles, have emerged as an advanced frontier in intercellular communication. This remarkable capacity positions them as promising contenders in drug delivery systems (DDSs) for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy, capitalizing on their inherent biocompatibility, stability, and minimal immunogenicity. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the emerging developments surrounding exosome-based DDSs for OA therapy. Focusing on exosome origins, we meticulously explore the diverse sources contributing to their production, including invaluable stem cells, immune cells, and an array of other cell types. In addition, we unravel the underlying mechanisms of action that govern these exosome-borne therapeutics, illuminating the intricate interplay between exosomes and recipient cells. In summary, this review highlights the present challenges that permeate exosome-based DDSs for OA therapy. Through an in-depth exploration of the intricacies within this emerging field, this review aims to shed light on the future direction of exosome-based DDSs in OA. It serves as a bridge for fostering collaboration and collective efforts in reshaping the treatment landscape of OA.

Abstract
Skeletal problems are an increasing issue due to the increase in the global aging population. Different statistics reports show that today, the global population is aging that results in skeletal problems, increased health system costs, and even higher mortality associated with skeletal problems. Common treatments such as surgery and bone grafts are not always effective and in some cases, they can even cause secondary problems such as infections or improper repair. Cell therapy is a method that can be utilized along with common treatments independently. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a very important and efficient source in terms of different diseases, especially bone problems. These cells are present in different tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, dental pulp, peripheral blood, amniotic fluid and others. Among the types of MSCs, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are the most widely used source of these cells, which have appeared to be very effective and promising in terms of skeletal diseases, especially compared to the other sources of MSCs. This study focuses on the specific potential and content of BMMSCs from which the specific capacity of these cells originates, and compares their osteogenic potential with other types of MSCs, and also the future directions in the application of BMMSCs as a source for cell therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Exosomes are membrane-derived nano-vesicles upregulated in pathological conditions like cancer. Therefore, inhibiting their release is a potential strategy for the development of more efficient combination therapies. Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is a key component in exosome release; however, a clinically safe yet efficient nSMase2 inhibitor remains to be used discovered. Accordingly, we made an effort to identify potential nSMase2 inhibitor(s) among the approved drugs. METHODS Virtual screening was performed and aprepitant was selected for further investigation. To evaluate the reliability of the complex, molecular dynamics were performed. Finally, using the CCK-8 assay in HCT116 cells, the highest non-toxic concentrations of aprepitant were identified and the nSMase2 activity assay was performed to measure the inhibitory activity of aprepitant, in vitro. RESULTS To validate the screening results, molecular docking was performed, and the retrieved scores were in line with the screening results. The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) plot of aprepitant-nSMase2 showed proper convergence. Following treatment with different concentrations of aprepitant in both cell-free and cell-dependent assays, nSMase2 activity was remarkably decreased. CONCLUSION Aprepitant, at a concentration as low as 15 µM, was able to inhibit nSmase2 activity in HCT116 cells without any significant effects on their viability. Aprepitant is therefore suggested to be a potentially safe exosome release inhibitor.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful degenerative joint disease and is the leading cause of chronic disability among elderly individuals. To improve the quality of life for patients with OA, the primary goal for OA treatment is to relieve the pain. During OA progression, nerve ingrowth was observed in synovial tissue and articular cartilage. These abnormal neonatal nerves act as nociceptors to detect OA pain signals. The molecular mechanisms for transmitting OA pain in the joint tissues to the central nerve system (CNS) is currently unknown. MicroRNA miR-204 has been demonstrated to maintain the homeostasis of joint tissues and have chondro-protective effect on OA pathogenesis. However, the role of miR-204 in OA pain has not been determined. In this study, we investigated interactions between chondrocytes and neural cells and evaluated the effect and mechanism of miR-204 delivered by exosome in the treatment of OA pain in an experimental OA mouse model. Our findings demonstrated that miR-204 could protect OA pain by inhibition of SP1- LDL Receptor Related Protein 1 (LRP1) signaling and blocking neuro-cartilage interaction in the joint. Our studies defined novel molecular targets for the treatment of OA pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are highly prevalent and seriously affect the patient's quality of life. Patients with OSA have a high incidence of OA, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated the molecular link between OSA and OA via bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation. METHODS We downloaded a peripheral blood monocyte microarray profile (GSE75097) for patients with OSA and two synovial microarray profiles (GSE55235 and GSE55457) for patients with OA from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We identified OSA-associated differentially expressed genes (OSA-DEGs) in patients with OA. Additionally, we constructed protein-protein interaction networks to identify the key genes involved in OA. Immunohistochemistry was performed to verify the expression of key genes in OA rat models. RNA interference assay was performed to validate the effects of key genes on synovial cells. Gene-miRNA, gene-transcription factor, and gene-drug networks were constructed to predict the regulatory molecules and drugs for OA. RESULTS Fifteen OSA-DEGs screened using the threshold criteria were enriched in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway. Combining the 12 algorithms of CytoHubba, we identified JUNB, JUN, dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), and TNF-alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) as the key OSA-DEGs involved in OA development. Immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that these key genes were downregulated in the OA synovium, promoting TNF-α expression. Therefore, OSA-DEGs, JUN, JUNB, DUSP1, and TNFAIP3 function in OA by increasing TNF-α expression. Our findings provide insights on the mechanisms underlying the effects of OSA on OA.

Small extracellular vesicles derived from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells cultured in a new chemically-defined contaminate-free media exhibit enhanced biological and therapeutic effects on human chondrocytes in vitro and in a mouse osteoarthritis model. J Extracell Vesicles 2023; 12:e12337. [PMID: 37367299 PMCID: PMC10295161 DOI: 10.1002/jev2.12337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Human small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) have been reported to suppress the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in animal studies and subsequently, translation of this potential to assess their clinical efficacy is anticipated. However, fabrication protocols for sEVs to eliminate potential contamination by culture medium-derived components need to be established prior to their clinical use. The purpose of the present studies was to elucidate the influence of medium-derived contaminants on the biological effects of sEVs, and to establish isolation methods for sEVs using a new clinical grade chemically-defined media (CDM). The quantity and purity of ASC-derived sEVs cultured in four different CDMs (CDM1, 2, 3 and 4) were evaluated. The concentrates of the four media incubated without cells were used as the background (BG) control for each set of sEVs. The biological effect of sEVs fabricated in the four different CDMs on normal human articular chondrocytes (hACs) were evaluated in vitro using a variety of methodological assessments. Finally, the sEVs with the highest purity were tested for their ability to suppress the progression of knee OA mouse model. Analysis of the BG controls revealed that CDM1-3 contained detectable particles, while there was no visible contamination of culture media-derived components detected with CDM4. Accordingly, the sEVs fabricated with CDM4 (CDM4-sEVs) exhibited the highest purity and yield. Notably, the CDM4-sEVs were the most efficient in promoting the cellular proliferation, migration, chondrogenic differentiation, and anti-apoptotic activity of hACs. Furthermore, CDM4-sEVs significantly suppressed the osteochondral degeneration in vivo model. Small EVs derived from ASCs cultured in a CDM without detectable contaminants demonstrated enhanced biological effects on hACs and the progression of OA. Thus, sEVs isolated with CDM4 most optimally meet the requirements of efficacy and safety for assessment in their future clinical applications.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110315. [PMID: 37245297 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110315] [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: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease, imposing a significant public health burden. Exosomes might be an effective means of treating OA. PURPOSE To investigate the role of exosomes from adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) in OA. We explored whether exosomes from ADSCs could be absorbed by OA chondrocytes, whether there were differences in miR-429 expression in the exosomes of ADSCs and chondrocytes, and whether ADSC exosomal miR-429 could enhance chondrocyte proliferation to exert therapeutic effects in OA. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS ADSCs were isolated and cultured from 4-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. ADSCs and chondrocytes were identified by flow cytometry assay and fluorescent staining, respectively. The exosomes were extracted and identified. Exosome transport was verified by cell staining and co-culture. Beclin 1, collagen II, LC3-II/I, miR-429, and FEZ2 mRNA and protein expression were investigated with real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively. Chondrocyte proliferation was investigated with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The association between miR-429 and FEZ2 was verified with luciferase assay. A rat OA model was established and rat knee joint cartilage tissue was examined with hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue staining. RESULTS Both ADSCs and chondrocytes secreted exosomes and ADSC-derived exosomes could be absorbed by the chondrocytes. ADCS exosomes contained higher miR-429 levels than chondrocyte exosomes. The luciferase assay demonstrated that miR-429 directly targeted FEZ2. Compared with the OA group, miR-429 promoted chondrocyte proliferation while FEZ2 decreased it. miR-429 promoted autophagy by targeting FEZ2 to ameliorate cartilage injury. In vivo, miR-429 promoted autophagy to alleviate OA by targeting FEZ2. CONCLUSION ADSC exosomes could be beneficial for OA and could be absorbed by chondrocytes to promote chondrocyte proliferation through miR-429. miR-429 ameliorated cartilage injury in OA by targeting FEZ2 and promoting autophagy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) has become the most common degenerative disease in the world, which brings a serious economic burden to society and the country. Although epidemiological studies have shown that the occurrence of osteoarthritis is associated with obesity, sex, and trauma, the biomolecular mechanisms for the development and progression of osteoarthritis remain ambiguous. Several studies have drawn a connection between SPP1 and osteoarthritis. SPP1 was first found to be highly expressed in osteoarthritic cartilage, and later more studies have shown that SPP1 is also highly expressed in subchondral bone and synovial in OA patients. However, the biological function of SPP1 remains unclear. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a novel technique that reflects gene expression at the cellular level, making it better depict the state of different cells than ordinary transcriptome data. However, most of the existing chondrocyte scRNA-seq studies focus on the occurrence and development of OA chondrocytes and lack analysis of normal chondrocyte development. Therefore, to better understand the mechanism of OA, scRNA-seq analysis of a larger cell volume containing normal and osteoarthritic cartilage is of great importance. Our study identifies a unique cluster of chondrocytes characterized by high SPP1 expression. The metabolic and biological characteristics of these clusters were further investigated. Besides, in animal models, we found that the expression of SPP1 is spatially heterogeneous in cartilage. Overall, our work provides novel insight into the potential role of SPP1 in OA, which sheds light on understanding the role of SPP1 in OA, promoting the progress of the treatment and prevention in the field of OA.

Tropoelastin-Pretreated Exosomes from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Improve the Synthesis of Cartilage Matrix and Alleviate Osteoarthritis. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14040203. [PMID: 37103293 PMCID: PMC10143921 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14040203] [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: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been widely used to treat osteoarthritis (OA). Our prior research shows that tropoelastin (TE) increases MSC activity and protects knee cartilage from OA-related degradation. The underlying mechanism might be that TE regulates the paracrine of MSCs. Exosomes (Exos), the paracrine secretion of MSCs, have been found to protect chondrocytes, reduce inflammation, and preserve the cartilage matrix. In this study, we used Exos derived from TE-pretreated adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) (TE-ExoADSCs) as an injection medium, and compared it with Exos derived from unpretreated ADSCs (ExoADSCs). We found that TE-ExoADSCs could effectively enhance the matrix synthesis of chondrocytes in vitro. Moreover, TE pretreatment increased the ability of ADSCs to secrete Exos. In addition, compared with ExoADSCs, TE-ExoADSCs exhibited therapeutic effects in the anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA model. Further, we observed that TE altered the microRNA expression in ExoADSCs and identified one differentially upregulated microRNA: miR-451-5p. In conclusion, TE-ExoADSCs helped maintain the chondrocyte phenotype in vitro, and promoted cartilage repair in vivo. These therapeutic effects might be related with the altered expression of miR-451-5p in the ExoADSCs. Thus, the intra-articular delivery of Exos derived from ADSCs with TE pretreatment could be a new approach to treat OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease and the most common orthopedic disorder. A vast majority of the social OA burden is related to hips and knees. The prevalence of knee OA varied across studies and such differences are reflected by the heterogeneity of data reported by studies conducted worldwide. A complete understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this pathology is essential. The OA inflammatory process starts in the synovial membrane with the activation of the immune system, involving both humoral and cellular mediators. A crucial role in this process is played by the so-called “damage-associated molecular patterns” (DAMPs). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be a promising option among all possible therapeutic options. However, many issues are still debated, such as the best cell source, their nature, and the right amount. Further studies are needed to clarify the remaining doubts. This review provides an overview of the most recent and relevant data on the molecular mechanism of cartilage damage in knee OA, including current therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disorder that causes systemic inflammation, autoimmunity, and joint abnormalities that result in permanent disability. Exosomes are nanosized extracellular particles found in mammals (40–100 nm). They are a transporter of lipids, proteins, and genetic material involved in mammalian cell–cell signaling, biological processes, and cell signaling. Exosomes have been identified as playing a role in rheumatoid arthritis-related joint inflammation (RA). Uniquely functioning extracellular vesicles (EVs) are responsible for the transport of autoantigens and mediators between distant cells. In addition, paracrine factors, such as exosomes, modulate the immunomodulatory function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In addition to transporting genetic information, exosomes convey miRNAs between cells and have been studied as drug delivery vehicles. In animal models, it has been observed that MSCs secrete EVs with immunomodulatory properties, and promising results have been observed in this area. By understanding the diversity of exosomal contents and their corresponding targets, it may be possible to diagnose autoimmune diseases. Exosomes can be employed as diagnostic biomarkers for immunological disorders. We here discuss the most recent findings regarding the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of these nanoparticles in rheumatoid arthritis and provide an overview of the evidence pertaining to the biology of exosomes in RA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a degenerative joint cartilage disease that is the most common cause of disability in the world among the elderly. It leads to social, psychological, and economic costs with financial consequences. The principles of OA treatment are to reduce pain and stiffness as well as maintain function. In recent years, due to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of OA, a number of potential therapeutic advances have been made, which include tissue engineering, immune system manipulation, surgical technique, pharmacological, and non-pharmacological treatments. Despite this, there is still no certain cure for OA, and different OA treatments are usually considered in relation to the stage of the disease. The purpose of the present review is to summarize and discuss the latest results of new treatments for OA and potential targets for future research.
