Abstract
Mitochondria are crucial organelles responsible for energy generation in eukaryotic cells. Oxidative stress, calcium disorders, and mitochondrial DNA abnormalities can all cause mitochondrial dysfunction. It is now well documented that mitochondrial dysfunction significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of numerous illnesses. Hence, it is vital to investigate innovative treatment methods targeting mitochondrial dysfunction. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived nanovesicles that serve as intercellular messengers and are classified into small EVs (sEVs, < 200 nm) and large EVs (lEVs, > 200 nm) based on their sizes. It is worth noting that certain subtypes of EVs are rich in mitochondrial components (even structurally intact mitochondria) and possess the ability to transfer them or other contents including proteins and nucleic acids to recipient cells to modulate their mitochondrial function. Specifically, EVs can modulate target cell mitochondrial homeostasis as well as mitochondria-controlled apoptosis and ROS generation by delivering relevant substances. In addition, the artificial modification of EVs as delivery carriers for therapeutic goods targeting mitochondria is also a current research hotspot. In this article, we will focus on the ability of EVs to modulate the mitochondrial function of target cells, aiming to offer novel perspectives on therapeutic approaches for diverse conditions linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Migrasomes are organelles produced by migrating cells that form on retraction fibers and are released during cell migration. Migrasomes are involved in physiological and pathological processes such as intercellular communication, cell homeostasis maintenance, signal transduction, disease occurrence and development, and cancer metastasis. In addition, methods and techniques for studying migrasomes are constantly evolving. Here, we review the discovery, formation process, regulation, and known functions of migrasomes, summarize the commonly used specific markers of migrasomes, and the methods for observing migrasomes. Meanwhile, this review also discusses the potential applications of migrasomes in physiological processes, disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, and looks forward to their wider application in biomedicine. In addition, the study of migrasomes will also reveal a new perspective on the mechanism of intercellular communication and promote the further development of life science.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of cell-to-cell communication in the extracellular space. These membranous nanoparticles carry various molecules, often referred to as "cargo," which are delivered to nearby target cells. In the past decade, developments in nanotechnology have allowed for various new laboratory techniques for the increased utilization of EVs in cellular and animal studies. Such techniques have evolved for the isolation, characterization, and delivery of EVs to biological tissues. This emerging technology has immense clinical potential for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Various EV cargo molecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins, can act as pathological biomarkers. Furthermore, EVs derived from certain cell sources have shown therapeutic benefit in certain pathologies. In addition to their native therapeutic benefit, EVs can be engineered to carry and selectively deliver therapeutic agents. While EVs have gained increasing interest in various pathologies, few studies have compiled their clinical potential in musculoskeletal pathologies. To bridge this gap, we present an overview of EVs, introduce current laboratory preparation techniques, and outline the most recent literature regarding the potential therapeutic applications of EVs in musculoskeletal pathologies.

Abstract
Objectives To identify age-related plasma extracellular vehicle (EVs) phenotypes in healthy adults. Methods EV proteomics by high-resolution mass spectrometry to evaluate EV protein stability and discover age-associated EV proteins (n=4 with 4 serial freeze-thaws each); validation by high-resolution flow cytometry and EV cytokine quantification by multiplex ELISA (n=28 healthy donors, aged 18-83 years); quantification of WI-38 fibroblast cell proliferation response to co-culture with PKH67-labeled young and old plasma EVs. The EV samples from these plasma specimens were previously characterized for bilayer structure, intra-vesicle mitochondria and cytokines, and hematopoietic cell-related surface markers. Results Compared with matched exo-EVs (EV-depleted supernatants), endo-EVs (EV-associated) had higher mean TNF-α and IL-27, lower mean IL-6, IL-11, IFN-γ, and IL-17A/F, and similar mean IL-1β, IL-21, and IL-22 concentrations. Some endo-EV and exo-EV cytokine concentrations were correlated, including TNF-α, IL-27, IL-6, IL-1β, and IFN-γ, but not IL-11, IL-17A/F, IL-21 or IL-22. Endo-EV IFN-γ and exo-EV IL-17A/F and IL-21 declined with age. By proteomics and confirmed by flow cytometry, we identified age-associated decline of fibrinogen (FGA, FGB and FGG) in EVs. Age-related EV proteins indicated predominant origins in the liver and innate immune system. WI-38 cells (>95%) internalized similar amounts of young and old plasma EVs, but cells that internalized PKH67-EVs, particularly young EVs, underwent significantly greater cell proliferation. Conclusion Endo-EV and exo-EV cytokines function as different biomarkers. The observed healthy aging EV phenotype reflected a downregulation of EV fibrinogen subpopulations consistent with the absence of a pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory condition common with age-related disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can play roles in inflammatory processes and joint degradation in primary osteoarthritis (OA), a common age-associated joint disease. EV subpopulations express tetraspanins and platelet markers that may reflect OA pathogenesis. The present study investigated the associations between these EV surface markers and articular cartilage degradation, subjectively and objectively assessed pain, and functional limitations in primary knee OA (KOA). METHODS Serum EVs were determined by high-sensitivity flow cytometry (large CD61+ EVs) and single particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensor (small CD41+, CD63+, CD81+, and CD9+ EVs) from end-stage KOA patients and controls (n = 8 per group). Knee pain and physical functions were assessed with several health- and pain-related questionnaires, established measurements of physical medicine, and neuromuscular examination. The obtained data were analyzed using supervised and unsupervised univariate and multivariate models. RESULTS With the combined dataset of cartilage thickness, knee function, pain, sensation, and EV molecular signatures, we identified highly correlated groups of variables and found several EV markers that were statistically significant predictors of pain, physical limitations, and other aspects of well-being for KOA patients, for instance CD41+/CD63+/CD9+ small EVs associated with the range of motion of the knee, physical performance, and pain sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS Particular serum EV subpopulations showed clear associations with KOA pain and functional limitations, suggesting that their implications in OA pathophysiology warrant further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for immediate postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and to develop and validate a predictive nomogram. METHODS Patients who underwent OWHTO for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) from June 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline data and laboratory test results were collected, and the occurrence of DVT in the immediate postoperative period was regarded as the study outcome event. Multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors associated with a higher incidence of immediate postoperative DVT. The predictive nomogram was constructed based on the analysis results. The stability of the model was further assessed in this study using patients from January to September 2022 as an external validation set. RESULTS 741 patients were enrolled in the study, of which 547 were used in the training cohort and the other 194 for the validation cohort. Multivariate analysis revealed a higher Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade (III vs. I-II OR 3.09, 95% CI 0.93-10.23. IV vs. I-II OR 5.23, 95% CI 1.27-21.48.), platelet to hemoglobin ratio (PHR) > 2.25 (OR 6.10, 95% CI 2.43-15.33), Low levels of albumin (ALB) (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.70-0.90), LDL-C > 3.40 (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.22-7.65), D-dimer > 1.26 (OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.16-6.87) and BMI ≥ 28 (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.02-6.50) were the independent risk factors of immediate postoperative DVT. The concordance index (C-index) and Brier score of the nomogram were 0.832 and 0.036 in the training set, and the corrected values after internal validation were 0.795 and 0.038, respectively. The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) performed well in both the training and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION This study developed a personalized predictive nomogram with six predictors, which allows surgeons to stratify risk and recommended immediate ultrasound scans for patients with any of these factors.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related joint disease, characterized by chronic inflammation, progressive articular cartilage destruction and subchondral osteosclerosis. More and more evidence showed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in various diseases, but the specific mechanism of miRNAs in OA is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression level and role of miR-181a-5p in OA and its related mechanism. Here we identified the key gene DEAD-box RNA helicase 3X (DDX3X) in the OA dataset by bioinformatics analysis. At the same time, miRNAs targeting DDX3X were screened, and miR-181a-5p was selected as the next research object. Then we used different concentrations of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced in vitro model of arthritis, and found that IL-1β can stimulate cells to release nitric oxide. The expression levels of miR-181a-5p and DDX3X in mouse chondrocyte cell line ATDC5 induced by IL-1β at a concentration of 10ug/mL were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). IL-1β induced a decrease in the expression of miR-181a-5p and an increase in the expression of DDX3X in ATDC5 cells. mimic miR-181a-5p or inhibitor miR-181a-5p were transfected into ATDC5 cells, and the levels of inflammatory mediators in the cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the results showed that miR-181a-5p could reduce the release of tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide nitric oxide synthase in a cellular model of arthritis. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that the miR-181a-5p binding site was in the DDX3X gene 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), and DDX3X was negatively regulated by miR-181a-5p. Rescue assays confirmed that miR-181a-5p reduced the expression of DDX3X by targeting the 3'-UTR region of DDX3X, thereby reducing the release of inflammatory factors. Finally, in this paper, western blot was used to detect the mechanism of miR-181a-5p regulating OA. The results showed that interfering with the expression of miR-181a-5p could up-regulate the expression of DDX3X protein, increase the expression of nuclear factor- kappaB (NF-κB) related proteins, and reduce the inflammatory response of OA, thereby increasing the secretion of the matrix proteinases MMP-3 and MMP-13. Taken together, the results of the study suggested that miR-181a-5p may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of human OA.

Abstract
Auto-inflammatory and autoimmune diseases of the musculoskeletal system can be perceived as a spectrum of rheumatic diseases, with the joints and connective tissues are eroded severely that progressively develop chronic inflammation and lesion. A wide range of risk factors represented by genetic and environmental factors have been uncovered by population-based surveys and experimental studies. Lately, the exposure to air pollution has been found to be potentially involved in the mechanisms of occurrence or development of such diseases, principally manifest in oxidative stress, local and systemic inflammation, and epigenetic modifications, as well as the mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been reported to participate in the intermediate links. The lungs might serve as a starting area of air pollutants, which would cause oxidative stress-induced bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT) to further to influence T, B cells, and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The binding of aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) to the corresponding contaminant ligands tends to regulate the reaction of Th17 and Tregs. Furthermore, air pollution components might spur on immune and inflammatory responses by damaging mitochondria that could interact with and exacerbate oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this review, we focused on the association between air pollution and typical auto-inflammatory and autoimmune diseases of the musculoskeletal system, mainly including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and aim to collate the mechanisms involved and the potential channels. A complete summary and in-depth understanding of the autoimmune and inflammatory effects of air pollution exposure should hopefully contribute new perspectives on how to formulate better public health policies to alleviate the adverse health effects of air pollutants.

Soluble and EV-Associated Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Knee Osteoarthritis Pathology and Detection. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13020342. [PMID: 36836699 PMCID: PMC9961153 DOI: 10.3390/life13020342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative disease of the connective tissue of the human musculoskeletal system. Despite its widespread prevalence, there are many limitations in its diagnosis and treatment. OA diagnosis currently relies on the presence of clinical symptoms, sometimes accompanied by changes in joint X-rays or MRIs. Biomarkers help not only to diagnose early disease progression but also to understand the process of OA in many ways. In this article, we briefly summarize information on articular joints and joint tissues, the pathogenesis of OA and review the literature about biomarkers in the field of OA, specifically inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, proteins, miRNA, and metabolic biomarkers found in the blood, synovial fluid and in extracellular vesicles.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling disease with significant morbidity worldwide. OA attacks the large synovial joint, including the peripheral joints and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). As a representative of peripheral joint OA, knee OA shares similar symptoms with TMJ OA. However, these two joints also display differences based on their distinct development, anatomy, and physiology. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer nanoparticles, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. EVs contain proteins, lipids, DNA, micro-RNA, and mRNA that regulate tissue homeostasis and cell-to-cell communication, which play an essential role in the progression and treatment of OA. They are likely to partake in mechanical response, extracellular matrix degradation, and inflammatory regulation during OA. More evidence has shown that synovial fluid and synovium-derived EVs may serve as OA biomarkers. More importantly, mesenchymal stem cell-derived EV shows a therapeutic effect on OA. However, the different function of EVs in these two joints is largely unknown based on their distinct biological characteristic. Here, we reviewed the effects of EVs in OA progression and compared the difference between the knee joint and TMJ, and summarized their potential therapeutic role in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Tissue repair is negatively affected by advanced age. Recent evidence indicates that hematopoietic cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are modulators of regenerative capacity. Here, we report that plasma EVs carrying specific surface markers indicate the degree of age-associated immunosenescence; moreover, this immunosenescence phenotype was accentuated by fracture injury. The number of CD11b+ Ly6Cintermediate Ly6Ghigh neutrophils significantly decreased with age in association with defective tissue regeneration. In response to fracture injury, the frequencies of neutrophils and associated plasma EVs were significantly higher in fracture calluses than in peripheral blood. Exposure of aged mice to youthful circulation through heterochronic parabiosis increased the number of neutrophils and their correlated Ly6G+ plasma EVs, which were associated with improved fracture healing in aged mice of heterochronic parabiosis pairs. Our findings create a foundation for utilizing specific immune cells and EV subsets as potential biomarkers and therapeutic strategies to promote resilience to stressors during aging.
