Abstract
OBJECTIVE Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) is a rare heterogeneous disease that results in the progressive and diffuse hyperplasia of gingival tissues. MicroRNAs are implicated in the development and progression of various tumors. The present study aimed to explore the potential roles and mechanisms of miR-148a-3p in IGF. METHODS Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) were transfected with miR-148a-3p mimics, miR-148a-3p inhibitors, or siNPTX1, and then, the proliferation and apoptosis of GFs and the expression of related genes were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays, flow cytometry, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blot analysis, respectively. RESULTS miR-148a-3p was highly expressed in GFs of IGF (IGF-GFs) as compared with normal GFs (N-GFs). Overexpression of miR-148a-3p promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of N-GFs, whereas downregulation of miR-148a-3p had the opposite effect in IGF-GFs. Knockdown of NPTX1 reversed miR-148a-3p-mediated effects in IGF-GFs. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that NPTX1 is a direct target of miR-148a-3p. CONCLUSION These findings identify that miR-148a-3p could regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting NPTX1, providing new insights for the further study of the molecular mechanism and treatment of IGF.

Jalaludin I, Lubman DM, Kim J. A guide to mass spectrometric analysis of extracellular vesicle proteins for biomarker discovery. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2023; 42:844-872. [PMID: 34747512 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Exosomes (small extracellular vesicles) in living organisms play an important role in processes such as cell proliferation or intercellular communication. Recently, exosomes have been extensively investigated for biomarker discoveries for various diseases. An important aspect of exosome analysis involves the development of enrichment methods that have been introduced for successful isolation of exosomes. These methods include ultracentrifugation, size exclusion chromatography, polyethylene glycol-based precipitation, immunoaffinity-based enrichment, ultrafiltration, and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation among others. To confirm the presence of exosomes, various characterization methods have been utilized such as Western blot analysis, atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, optical methods, zeta potential, visual inspection, and mass spectrometry. Recent advances in high-resolution separations, high-performance mass spectrometry and comprehensive proteome databases have all contributed to the successful analysis of exosomes from patient samples. Herein we review various exosome enrichment methods, characterization methods, and recent trends of exosome investigations using mass spectrometry-based approaches for biomarker discovery.

Functionalized Prussian Blue Nanozyme as Dual-Responsive Drug Therapeutic Nanoplatform Against Maxillofacial Infection via Macrophage Polarization. Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:5851-5868. [PMCID: PMC9719692 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s385899] [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: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Maxillofacial infection is a common disease in stomatology and is difficult to treat owing to its high potential to spread to vital anatomical structures. Excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in infected tissues lead to cellular damage and impede tissue regeneration. However, uncontrollable strategies to remove ROS have limited therapeutic efficacy. Nanoparticle systems for scavenging ROS and remodeling the inflammatory microenvironment offer much promise in the treatment of maxillofacial inflammation. Methods Here, a novel microenvironment-stimuli-responsive drug delivery nanoplatform (HMPB@Cur@PDA) based on a polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB) nanozyme was developed for the delivery of curcumin (Cur) in the treatment of maxillofacial infection. Low pH and excess ROS in the inflammatory microenvironment cause degradation of the outer PDA layer of the nanocomplex, exposing the HMPB nanozyme and loaded Cur, which synergistically act as a ROS scavenger and anti-inflammatory agent, respectively, and induce macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Results Experiments in vitro provided strong evidence for the application of novel nanocomplexes in scavenging multiple ROS and inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation. In addition, in vivo results obtained using a mouse maxillofacial infection model demonstrated that HMPB@Cur@PDA had excellent biocompatibility, significantly attenuated the inflammatory response in periodontal tissue, and improved the repair of damaged tissue. Conclusion Our results indicate that HMPB@Cur@PDA nanocomposites have great potential for ROS regulation as well as having anti-inflammatory effects, providing new insights for the development of dual-response maxillofacial infection treatments.

Periodontal and Dental Pulp Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles: A Review of the Current Status. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11071858. [PMID: 34361246 PMCID: PMC8308278 DOI: 10.3390/nano11071858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound lipid particles that are secreted by all cell types and function as cell-to-cell communicators through their cargos of protein, nucleic acid, lipids, and metabolites, which are derived from their parent cells. There is limited information on the isolation and the emerging therapeutic role of periodontal and dental pulp cell-derived small EVs (sEVs, <200 nm, or exosome). In this review, we discuss the biogenesis of three EV subtypes (sEVs, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies) and the emerging role of sEVs from periodontal ligament (stem) cells, gingival fibroblasts (or gingival mesenchymal stem cells) and dental pulp cells, and their therapeutic potential in vitro and in vivo. A review of the relevant methodology found that precipitation-based kits and ultracentrifugation are the two most common methods to isolate periodontal (dental pulp) cell sEVs. Periodontal (and pulp) cell sEVs range in size, from 40 nm to 2 μm, due to a lack of standardized isolation protocols. Nevertheless, our review found that these EVs possess anti-inflammatory, osteo/odontogenic, angiogenic and immunomodulatory functions in vitro and in vivo, via reported EV cargos of EV–miRNAs, EV–circRNAs, EV–mRNAs and EV–lncRNAs. This review highlights the considerable therapeutic potential of periodontal and dental pulp cell-derived sEVs in various regenerative applications.
