[PMID: 38867330 PMCID: PMC11167910 DOI: 10.1186/s40779-024-00540-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
In addition to its recognized role in providing structural support, bone plays a crucial role in maintaining the functionality and balance of various organs by secreting specific cytokines (also known as osteokines). This reciprocal influence extends to these organs modulating bone homeostasis and development, although this aspect has yet to be systematically reviewed. This review aims to elucidate this bidirectional crosstalk, with a particular focus on the role of osteokines. Additionally, it presents a unique compilation of evidence highlighting the critical function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) within bone-organ axes for the first time. Moreover, it explores the implications of this crosstalk for designing and implementing bone-on-chips and assembloids, underscoring the importance of comprehending these interactions for advancing physiologically relevant in vitro models. Consequently, this review establishes a robust theoretical foundation for preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases related to the bone-organ axis from the perspective of cytokines, EVs, hormones, and metabolites.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e30195. [PMID: 38784565 PMCID: PMC11112270 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia-induced apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) limits the efficacy of their transplantation for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). As apoptosis and RNA methylation are closely related, exploring the role and mechanism of RNA methylation in hypoxic apoptosis of BMSCs is expected to identify new targets for transplantation of BMSCs for SONFH and enhance transplantation efficacy. We performed methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) combined with RNA-seq on a hypoxia-induced apoptosis BMSC model and found that the RNA methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is involved in hypoxia-induced BMSC apoptosis. The expression of METTL3 was downregulated in BMSCs after hypoxia and in BMSCs implanted in osteonecrosis areas. Knockdown of METLL3 under normoxic conditions promoted apoptosis of BMSCs. In contrast, overexpression of METTL3 promoted the survival of BMSCs under hypoxic conditions, and overexpression of METTL3 promoted the survival of BMSCs in the osteonecrosis area and the repair of the osteonecrosis area. Regarding the mechanism, the m6A levels of the mRNAs of anti-apoptotic genes Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and BIRC5 were significantly increased upon the overexpression of METTL3 under hypoxic conditions, which promoted the binding of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and BIRC5 mRNAs to IGF2BP2, enhanced the mRNA stability, and increased the protein expression of the three anti-apoptotic genes. In conclusion, overexpression of METTL3 promoted m6A modification of mRNAs of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and BIRC5, promoted the binding of IGF2BP2 to the above-mentioned mRNAs, enhanced mRNA stability, inhibited hypoxia-induced BMSC apoptosis, and promoted repair of SONFH, thereby providing novel targets for transplantation of BMSCs for SONFH.

Abstract
With the rapid development of population ageing, bone-related diseases seriously affecting the life of the elderly. Over the past few years, organoids, cell clusters with specific functions and structures that are self-induced from stem cells after three-dimensional culture in vitro, have been widely used for bone therapy. Moreover, organoid extracellular vesicles (OEVs) have emerging as promising cell-free nanocarriers due to their vigoroso physiological effects, significant biological functions, stable loading capacity, and great biocompatibility. In this review, we first provide a comprehensive overview of biogenesis, internalisation, isolation, and characterisation of OEVs. We then comprehensively highlight the differences between OEVs and traditional EVs. Subsequently, we present the applications of natural OEVs in disease treatment. We also summarise the engineering modifications of OEVs, including engineering parental cells and engineering OEVs after isolation. Moreover, we provide an outlook on the potential of natural and engineered OEVs in bone-related diseases. Finally, we critically discuss the advantages and challenges of OEVs in the treatment of bone diseases. We believe that a comprehensive discussion of OEVs will provide more innovative and efficient solutions for complex bone diseases.
