Metformin enhances the therapeutic effects of extracellular vesicles derived from human periodontal ligament stem cells on periodontitis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:19940. [PMID: 39198490 PMCID: PMC11358454 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70688-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Metformin has shown outstanding anti-inflammatory and osteogenic abilities. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) reveal promising therapeutic potency by carrying various biomolecules. This study explored the effects of metformin on the therapeutic potential of EVs derived from human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) for periodontitis. PDLSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium with or without metformin, and the supernatant was then collected separately to extract EVs and metformin-treated EVs (M-EVs). After identifying the characteristics, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of EVs and M-EVs in vivo and in vitro. Osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was markedly enhanced after metformin treatment, and the effect was dramatically inhibited by GW4896, an inhibitor of EVs' secretion. Metformin significantly increased EVs' yields and improved their effects on cell proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, metformin significantly enhanced the osteogenic ability of EVs on inflammatory PDLSCs. Animal experiments revealed that alveolar bone resorption was dramatically reduced in the EVs and M-EVs groups when compared to the periodontitis group, while the M-EVs group showed the lowest levels of alveolar bone loss. Metformin promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs partly through EVs pathway and significantly enhanced the secretion of PDLSCs-EVs with superior pro-osteogenic and anti-inflammatory potential, thus improving EVs' therapeutic potential on periodontitis.

Stem Cells Int 2024; 2024:2187392. [PMID: 39184549 PMCID: PMC11343633 DOI: 10.1155/2024/2187392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The scientific field concerned with the study of regeneration has developed rapidly in recent years. Stem cell therapy is a highly promising therapeutic modality for repairing tissue defects; however, several limitations exist, such as cytotoxicity, potential immune rejection, and ethical issues. Exosomes secreted by stem cells are cell-specific secreted vesicles that play a regulatory role in many biological functions in the human body; they not only have a series of functional roles of stem cells and exert the expected therapeutic effects, but they can also overcome the mass limitations of stem cells and are thus considered in the research as an alternative treatment strategy for stem cells. Since dental stem cell-derived exosomes (DSC-Exos) are easy to acquire and present modulating effects in several fields, including neurovascular regeneration and craniofacial soft and hard tissue regeneration processes, they are served as an emerging cell-free therapeutic strategy in various systematic diseases. There is a growing body of research on various types of DSC-Exos; however, they lack systematic elaboration and tabular summarization. Therefore, this review presents the isolation, characterization, and phenotypes of DSC-Exos and focuses on their current status of functions and mechanisms, as well as the multiple challenges prior to clinical applications.

Abstract
A thorough comprehension of age-related variances in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and bone remodeling response to mechanical force holds significant implications for enhancing orthodontic treatment. Mitophagy plays a crucial role in bone metabolism and various age-related diseases. However, the impact of mitophagy on the bone remodeling process during OTM remains elusive. Using adolescent (6 weeks old) and adult (12 months old) rats, we established OTM models and observed that orthodontic force increased the expression of the mitophagy proteins PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkin, as well as the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts and osteocalcin-positive osteoblasts. These biological changes were found to be age-related. In vitro, compression force loading promoted PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) derived from adolescents (12-16 years old) and adults (25-35 years old). Furthermore, adult PDLSCs exhibited lower levels of mitophagy, impaired mitochondrial function, and a decreased ratio of RANKL/OPG compared to young PDLSCs after compression. Transfection of siRNA confirmed that inhibition of mitophagy in PDLSC resulted in decreased mitochondrial function and reduced RANKL/OPG ratio. Application of mitophagy inducer Urolithin A enhanced bone remodeling and accelerated OTM in rats, while the mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi-1 had the opposite effect. These findings indicate that force-stimulated PDLSC mitophagy contributes to alveolar bone remodeling during OTM, and age-related impairment of mitophagy negatively impacts the PDLSC response to mechanical stimulus. Our findings enhance the understanding of mitochondrial mechanotransduction and offer new targets to tackle current clinical challenges in orthodontic therapy.

Abstract
The pursuit of tissue regeneration has fueled decades of research in regenerative medicine. Among the numerous types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) have recently emerged as a particularly promising candidate for tissue repair and regeneration. In recent years, evidence has highlighted the pivotal role of mitochondria in directing and orchestrating the differentiation processes of DMSCs. Beyond mitochondrial energy metabolism, the multifaceted functions of mitochondria are governed by the mitochondrial quality control (MQC) system, encompassing biogenesis, autophagy, and dynamics. Notably, mitochondrial energy metabolism not only governs the decision to differentiate but also exerts a substantial influence on the determination of differentiation directions. Furthermore, the MQC system exerts a nuanced impact on the differentiation of DMSCs by finely regulating the quality and mass of mitochondria. The review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms governing the multi-directional differentiation of DMSCs, mediated by both mitochondrial energy metabolism and the MQC system. We also focus on a new idea based on the analysis of data from many research groups never considered before, namely, DMSC-based regenerative medicine applications.

Lipotoxicity-polarised macrophage-derived exosomes regulate mitochondrial fitness through Miro1-mediated mitophagy inhibition and contribute to type 2 diabetes development in mice. Diabetologia 2023; 66:2368-2386. [PMID: 37615690 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-023-05992-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Insulin resistance is a major pathophysiological defect in type 2 diabetes and obesity. Numerous experimental and clinical studies have provided evidence that sustained lipotoxicity-induced mitophagy deficiency can exacerbate insulin resistance, leading to a vicious cycle between mitophagy dysfunction and insulin resistance, and thereby the onset of type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence suggests that exosomes (Exos) from M2 macrophages play an essential role in modulating metabolic homeostasis. However, how macrophages are affected by lipotoxicity and the role of lipotoxicity in promoting macrophage activation to the M1 state have not been determined. The objective of this study was to determine whether M1 macrophage-derived Exos polarised by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + palmitic acid (PA)-induced lipotoxicity contribute to metabolic homeostasis and impact the development of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. METHODS Lipotoxicity-polarised macrophage-derived M1 Exos were isolated from bone marrow (C57BL/6J mouse)-derived macrophages treated with LPS+PA. Exos were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and western blotting. Flow cytometry, H&E staining, quantitative real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, glucose uptake and output assays, confocal microscopy imaging, western blotting, GTTs and ITTs were conducted to investigate tissue inflammation, mitochondrial function and insulin resistance in vitro and in vivo. The roles of miR-27-3p and its target gene Miro1 (also known as Rhot1, encoding mitochondrial rho GTPase 1) and relevant pathways were predicted and assessed in vitro and in vivo using specific miRNA mimic, miRNA inhibitor, miRNA antagomir and siRNA. RESULTS miR-27-3p was highly expressed in M1 Exos and functioned as a Miro1-inactivating miRNA through the miR-27-3p-Miro1 axis, leading to mitochondria fission rather than fusion as well as mitophagy impairment, resulting in NOD-like receptor 3 inflammatory activation and development of insulin resistance both in vivo and in vitro. Inactivation of miR-27-3p induced by M1 Exos prevented type 2 diabetes development in high-fat-diet-fed mice. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These findings suggest that the miR-27-3p-Miro1 axis, as a novel regulatory mechanism for mitophagy, could be considered as a new therapeutic target for lipotoxicity-related type 2 diabetes disease development.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease of tooth-supporting tissue and has become the leading cause of adult tooth loss. The most central pathological features of periodontitis are tissue damage and inflammatory reaction. As the energy metabolism center of eukaryotic cells, mitochondrion plays a notable role in various processes, such as cell function and inflammatory response. When the intracellular homeostasis of mitochondrion is disrupted, it can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and inability to generate adequate energy to maintain basic cellular biochemical reactions. Recent studies have revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to the initiation and development of periodontitis. The excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, imbalance of mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, mitophagy and mitochondrial DNA damage can all affect the development and progression of periodontitis. Thus, targeted mitochondrial therapy is potentially promising in periodontitis treatment. In this review, we summarize the above mitochondrial mechanism in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and discuss some potential approaches that can exert therapeutic effects on periodontitis by modulating mitochondrial activity. The understanding and summary of mitochondrial dysfunction in periodontitis might provide new research directions for pathological intervention or treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
The teeth are vertebrate-specific, highly specialized organs performing fundamental functions of mastication and speech, the maintenance of which is crucial for orofacial homeostasis and is further linked to systemic health and human psychosocial well-being. However, with limited ability for self-repair, the teeth can often be impaired by traumatic, inflammatory, and progressive insults, leading to high prevalence of tooth loss and defects worldwide. Regenerative medicine holds the promise to achieve physiological restoration of lost or damaged organs, and in particular an evolving framework of developmental engineering has pioneered functional tooth regeneration by harnessing the odontogenic program. As a key event of tooth morphogenesis, mesenchymal condensation dictates dental tissue formation and patterning through cellular self-organization and signaling interaction with the epithelium, which provides a representative to decipher organogenetic mechanisms and can be leveraged for regenerative purposes. In this review, we summarize how mesenchymal condensation spatiotemporally assembles from dental stem cells (DSCs) and sequentially mediates tooth development. We highlight condensation-mimetic engineering efforts and mechanisms based on ex vivo aggregation of DSCs, which have achieved functionally robust and physiologically relevant tooth regeneration after implantation in animals and in humans. The discussion of this aspect will add to the knowledge of development-inspired tissue engineering strategies and will offer benefits to propel clinical organ regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence suggests that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) improve osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) dependent mitophagy modulates inter-clonal communication among PDLSCs with osteogenic heterogeneity, but the mechanism remains vague. Therefore, the current research assessed the influence of AuNPs on proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and mitophagy of PDLSCs and the potential mechanism was analyzed. METHODS Gold nanospheres with a diameter of 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 nm were synthesized and characterized through transmission electron microscopy, and rat PDLSCs were isolated using flow sorting. Next, PDLSCs were treated with AuNPs or PINK1 lentivirus to obtain its overexpression or suppression. Proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated by CCK-8, ALP staining, ARS staining, and immunoblotting of OCN, OPN, RUNX2, ALP, BMP2, and COL1. Mitochondrial quality, homeostasis and quantity were assessed though JC-1 staining, immunoblotting of Tom20, Tim23 and HSP60 and mitochondrial ROS detection. PINK1, Parkin, Beclin1 and LC3 expression was quantified to investigate mitophagy, using RT-qPCR and immunoblotting and the formation of RFP-GFP-LC3-labeled autophagosomes were also measured. RESULTS The proliferation ability of PDLSCs almost reached the maximum under 20 nm AuNPs for 24 h. AuNPs enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, improved mitochondrial quality and homeostasis as well as attenuated mitochondrial quantity. Additionally, mitophagy was enhanced by PDLSCs. Activation of PINK1 synergistically enhanced AuNPs-mediated mitophagy, mitochondrial quality, homeostasis and osteogenic differentiation in PDLSCs, obtaining opposite effects when PINK1 was suppressed. CONCLUSION AuNPs enhance proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through PINK1-mediated mitophagy.

Abstract
Exosome-based therapy is emerging as a promising strategy to promote bone regeneration due to exosomal bioactive cargos, among which circular RNA (circRNA) has recently been recognized as the key effector. The role of exosomal circRNA derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has not been well-defined. The present study aimed to clarify the regulatory function and molecular mechanism of BMSC-derived exosomal circRNA in osteogenesis. Exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-Exos) were isolated and identified. BMSC-Exos' pro-osteogenic effect on MC3T3-E1 cells was validated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red staining. Through bioinformatic analysis and molecular experiments, circHIPK3 was selected and verified as the key circRNA of BMSC-Exos to promote osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Mechanistically, circHIPK3 acted as an miR-29a-5p sponge and functioned in mitophagy via targeting miR-29a-5p and PINK1. Additionally, we showed that the mitophagy level of MC3T3-E1 cells were mediated by BMSC-Exos, which promoted the osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, our results revealed an important role for BMSC-derived exosomal circHIPK3 in osteogenesis. These findings provide a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for bone regeneration.

EVs facilitate intercellular signaling through the packaging of specific cargo in all type of cells, and perturbations of EV biogenesis, sorting, release and uptake is the basis of a number of disorders. In this review, we summarize recent advances of the complex roles of the sphingolipid ceramide and lysosomes in the journey of EV biogenesis to uptake.

M1 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle containing tsRNA-5006c promotes osteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells through regulating mitophagy. PeerJ 2022; 10:e14307. [PMID: 36518291 PMCID: PMC9744173 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Osteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) plays a key role in the calcific aortic valve disease progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived from M1-polarized macrophages (M1-EVs) orchestrated intercellular communication by delivering non-coding RNAs such as tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) is crucial for cardiovascular disease. However, the role and mechanism of M1-EVs tsRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of AVICs remains largely unclear. Methods M1-EVs and PBS treated-RAW 264.7 cell-derived EVs (NC-EVs) were incubated with AVICs and subjected to small RNA sequencing. Candidate tsRNA in M1-EVs was silenced to explore their effects on AVIC osteogenic differentiation and mitophagy. Results DiI-labeled M1-EVs were internalized by AVICs, resulting in significantly increased calcium nodule formation and expression of osteogenesis-related genes in AVICs, including RUNX2, BMP2, osteopontin, and SPP1, compared with NC-EVs. Small RNA sequencing revealed that 17 tsRNAs were significantly up-regulated such as tsRNA-5006c, while 28 tsRNAs were significantly down-regulated in M1-EVs compared with NC-EVs. Intriguingly, tsRNA-5006c-deleted M1-EVs treatment significantly reduced calcium nodule formation and expression of osteogenesis-related genes in AVICs relative to control group. Moreover, target genes of tsRNA-5006c were mainly involved in autophagy-related signaling pathways, such as MAPK, Ras, Wnt, and Hippo signaling pathway. Hallmarks of mitophagy activation in AVICs including mitophagosome formation, TMRM fluorescence, expression of LC3-II, BINP3, and PGC1α, were significantly elevated in the M1-EVs group compared with NC-EVs group, whereas M1-EVs tsRNA-5006c inhibitor led to a significant reduction in these indicators. Conclusion M1-EVs carried tsRNA-5006c regulates AVIC osteogenic differentiation from the perspective of mitophagy, and we provide a new target for the prevention and treatment of aortic valve calcification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathological bone resorption is common in chronic periodontitis. However, the effect of exosomes (Exo) secreted by periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) on bone resorption is unclear. This study explored the Exo of inflammatory PDLSCs, their protein components, and their effects on osteoclast differentiation. METHODS PDLSCs were isolated from the periodontal ligament tissues of orthodontic patients and those with chronic periodontitis. The surface markers of PDLSCs were detected by flow cytometry. Exo were characterized by Western blot, transmission electron microscope (TEM), bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA), nanosight tracking analysis (NTA). The protein components of Exo were detected by protein profiling. The expression levels of differentially expressed proteins tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), interleukin (IL)-1α, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) were verified by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Then, 10, 100, and 1 000 μg·mL-1 of Exo-CP or Exo-WT were added to RAW264.7 medium, and the expression levels of osteoclast-related indicators were detected by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining at 5 days. Experimental data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 24.0 software. RESULTS The differentially expressed proteins enriched in Exo-CP were mainly related to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling, osteoclast differentiation, and nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways. ELISA experiments confirmed Exo-CP had high expression of TNF-α, RANKL, and IL-1α and low expression of TGF-β1 and BMP-2 (P<0.05). Adding Exo-CP to RAW264.7 significantly increased the expression of mRNA and proteins related to osteoclast differentiation of cells. In a concentration-dependent manner, the effect of Exo-CP on osteoclast differentiation at concentrations of 100 and 1 000 μg·mL-1 was significantly higher than that on the 10 μg·mL-1 concentration group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pathological bone resorption of chronic periodontitis may be caused by the activation of Exo-CP to promote osteoclast differentiation. The main protein in Exo may be RANKL and TNF-α. This research provides a new perspective on pathological bone resorption in chronic periodontitis.

Abstract
Fractures are frequently encountered diseases troubling the senior population, and the research on fracture repair and the exploration of effective treatment methods are of great significance. This study aimed to clarify the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hUMSC-EVs) on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of autologous bone marrow stem cells (ABMSCs). The two kinds of cells were co-cultured firstly, 5-Ethynyl-2'- deoxyuridine (EDU) staining and alizarin red staining were used to detect the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of ABMSCs. The exosomes of hUMSCs were subsequently extracted to process ABMSCs to further test the effect on the cells. The EDU positive rate of ABMSCs and Collagen II expression were elevated, whereas the TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positive rate and Matrix Metallopeptidase 13 (MMP13) were markedly decreased after the co-culture of hUMSCs and ABMSCs using Transwell chamber assays. The results indicated that hUMSCs could increase the proliferation of ABMSCs, reduce apoptosis, and promote matrix metabolism. The hUMSCs exosomes were separated and added to ABMSCs. As the exosomes content increased, the proliferation of ABMSCs increased simultaneously, and ABMSCs apoptosis decreased. Meanwhile, ABMSCs that migrated to the submembrane increased compared with untreated ABMSCs. Western blot, qPCR and immunofluorescence results revealed that increased exosomes contents promoted the expression of ABMSCs anabolic-related indicators gradually, while decreased the expression of catabolism-related indicators gradually. The previously described results indicated that hUMSCs promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of ABMSCs by secreting exosomes.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth loss, but there is no effective treatment to repair inflammatory bone loss in periodontitis. Exosomes emerge as essential paracrine factors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that mediated tissue regeneration. Here, we investigated the potential of exosomes secreted by periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) as therapeutics for the bone defect in periodontitis. Exosomes secreted from PDLSCs derived from healthy periodontal ligaments (h-PDLSCs) and their function were evaluated on PDLSCs isolated from the inflammatory periodontal ligament of periodontitis patients (i-PDLSCs). Treatment of exosomes of h-PDLSCs led to an increase in the formation of mineralized nodules and the expressions of osteogenic genes and proteins in i-PDLSCs. Mechanistically, h-PDLSCs-exosomes suppressed the over-activation of canonical Wnt signaling to recover the osteogenic differentiation capacity of i-PDLSCs. To evaluate the therapeutic of exosomes on inflammatory bone loss, h-PDLSCs-exosomes loaded with Matrigel or β-TCP were employed to repair bone defects in rat models of periodontitis. Compared to the vehicle-treated control group, h-PDLSCs-exosomes-treated rats resulted in more bone formation in the defect of alveolar bone. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that exosomes derived from healthy PDLSCs could rescue the osteogenesis capacity of endogenous stem cells under an inflammatory environment and promote regeneration of alveolar bone. Our findings suggest that MSCs-derived exosome is an effective and practical cell-free MSC therapeutic for the treatment of periodontitis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: There is no effective treatment to repair inflammatory bone loss in periodontitis. As essential paracrine factors of PDLSCs, exosomes might mediate tissue regeneration during stem cell therapy. Here, we reported that exosomes secreted from healthy PDLSCs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs derived from periodontitis tissue. Healthy PDLSCs-exosomes treatment resulted in accelerated bone formation in the defect of alveolar bone in rat models of periodontitis. Mechanistically, h-PDLSCs-exosomes suppressed the over-activation of canonical Wnt signaling to recover the osteogenic differentiation capacity of inflammatory PDLSCs. These findings suggest that MSCs-derived exosome is an effective and practical cell-free MSC therapeutic for the treatment of periodontitis.
