Dual-Targeted Nanodiscs Revealing the Cross-Talk between Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Macrophages.

ABSTRACT: Ongoing research has highlighted the significance of the cross-play of macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) has been shown to control osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by depleting trimethylated histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). However, to date, the role of KDM6B in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) remains controversial. Here, a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP) proved that KDM6B derived from osteogenic-induced BMSCs could bind to the promoter region of BMDMs' brain and muscle aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein-1 (BMAL1) gene in a coculture system and activate BMAL1. Transcriptome sequencing and experiments in vitro showed that the overexpression of BMAL1 in BMDM could inhibit the TLR2/NF-κB signaling pathway, reduce pyroptosis, and decrease the M1/M2 ratio, thereby promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, bone and macrophage dual-targeted GSK-J4 (KDM6B inhibitor)-loaded nanodiscs were synthesized via binding SDSSD-apoA-1 peptide analogs (APA) peptide, which indirectly proved the critical role of KDM6B in osteogenesis in vivo. Overall, we demonstrated that KDM6B serves as a positive circulation trigger during osteogenic differentiation by decreasing the ratio of M1/M2 both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, these results provide insight into basic research in the field of osteoporosis and bone repair.
