Tailored apoptotic vesicles promote bone regeneration by releasing the osteoinductive brake.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs; MSC-apoVs) are vital for bone regeneration, and possess superior capabilities compared to MSCs and other extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs (such as exosomes). The osteoinductive effect of MSC-apoVs is attributed to their diverse contents, especially enriched proteins or microRNAs (miRNAs). To optimize their osteoinduction activity, it is necessary to determine the unique cargo profiles of MSC-apoVs. We previously established the protein landscape and identified proteins specific to MSC-apoVs. However, the features and functions of miRNAs enriched in MSC-apoVs are unclear. In this study, we compared MSCs, MSC-apoVs, and MSC-exosomes from two types of MSC. We generated a map of miRNAs specific to MSC-apoVs and identified seven miRNAs specifically enriched in MSC-apoVs compared to MSCs and MSC-exosomes, which we classified as apoV-specific miRNAs. Among these seven specific miRNAs, hsa-miR-4485-3p was the most abundant and stable. Next, we explored its function in apoV-mediated osteoinduction. Unexpectedly, hsa-miR-4485-3p enriched in MSC-apoVs inhibited osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis by targeting the AKT pathway. Tailored apoVs with downregulated hsa-miR-4485-3p exhibited a greater effect on bone regeneration than control apoVs. Like releasing the brake, we acquired more powerful osteoinductive apoVs. In summary, we identified the miRNA cargos, including miRNAs specific to MSC-apoVs, and generated tailored apoVs with high osteoinduction activity, which is promising in apoV-based therapies for bone regeneration.

Project description:Protein polymers provide a unique opportunity for tunable designs of material systems due to the genetic basis of sequence control. To address the challenge of biomineralization interfaces with protein based materials, we genetically engineered spider silks to design organic-inorganic hybrid systems. The spider silk inspired domain (SGRGGLGGQG AGAAAAAGGA GQGGYGGLGSQGT)15 served as an organic scaffold to control material stability and to allow multiple modes of processing, whereas the hydroxyapatite binding domain VTKHLNQISQSY (VTK), provided control over osteogenesis. The VTK domain was fused either to the N-, C- or both terminals of the spider silk domain to understand the effect of position on material properties and mineralization. The addition of the VTK domain to silk did not affect the physical properties of the silk recombinant constructs, but it had a critical role in the induction of biomineralization. When the VTK domain was placed on both the C- and N-termini the formation of crystalline hydroxyapatite was significantly increased. In addition, all of the recombinant proteins in film format supported the growth and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Importantly, the presence of the VTK domain enhanced osteoinductive properties up to 3-fold compared to the control (silk alone without VTK). Therefore, silk-VTK fusion proteins have been shown suitable for mineralization and functionalization for specific biomedical applications.Statement of significanceOrganic-inorganic interfaces are integral to biomaterial functions in many areas of repair and regeneration. Several protein polymers have been investigated for this purpose. Despite their success the limited options to fine-tune their material properties, degradation patterns and functionalize them for each specific biomedical application limits their application. Various studies have shown that the biological performance of such proteins can be improved by genetic engineering. The present study provides data relating protein design parameters and functional outcome quantified by biomineralization and human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. As such, it helps the design of osteoinductive recombinant biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Project description:BackgroundBone tissue regeneration is regulated by complex events, including inflammation, osteoinduction, and remodeling. Therefore, to induce the complete restoration of defective bone tissue, biomaterials with the ability to regulate the collective bone regenerative system are beneficial. Although some studies conclude that reducing reactive oxygen species created a favorable environment for bone regeneration by controlling inflammation, biomaterials that can simultaneously promote osteogenesis and regulate inflammation have not been developed. Herein, we describe the development of a multi-functional nanoparticle and its hydrogel composite with osteoinductive, anti-inflammatory, and osteoclast-maturation regulatory functions for enhanced bone regeneration.MethodsTannic acid-mineral nanoparticles (TMP) were prepared by self-assembly of tannic acid in an ion-rich simulated body fluid containing Ca2+ and PO43-. Particles with a diameter of 443 ± 91 nm were selected for their stable spherical morphology and minimal tendency to aggregate. The particles were homogeneously embedded within a gelatin-based cryogel (TMP/Gel) to be used in further experiments. The osteoinductive properties, anti-inflammatory and osteoclast-maturation regulatory functions in vitro were tested by culturing corresponding cells on either TMP/Gel or a gelatin-based cryogel without the particles (Gel). For in vivo analyses, a murine calvarial defect model was used. Statistical analyses were carried out using a Graphpad Prism 7 software (San Diego, CA, USA) to perform one-way analysis of variance ANOVA with Tukey's honest significant difference test and a Student's t-test (for two variables) (P < 0.05).ResultsExcellent biocompatibility and radical scavenging abilities were exhibited by the TMP/Gel. The expression of osteogenic mRNA is significantly increased in human adipose-derived stem cells seeded on the TMP/Gel compared to those without the particles. Furthermore, RAW264.7 cells seeded on the TMP/Gel displayed significantly lower-than-normal levels of pro-inflammatory and osteoclastogenic genes. Finally, the in vivo results indicated that, compared with the cryogel with no anti-inflammatory effect, the TMP/Gel significantly enhanced both the quality and quantity of newly formed bone, demonstrating the importance of combining anti-inflammation with osteoinduction.ConclusionCollectively, these findings suggest our nanoparticle-hydrogel composite could be an effective tool to regulate complex events within the bone healing process.
