  • 摘要: 背景 颌骨缺损发病率较高,目前其发病机理尚不完全清楚。基于新兴的“脑-骨轴”跨器官调控理论,中枢星形胶质细胞来源的外泌体在颌骨缺损修复中的潜在作用尚待阐明。目的 本研究旨在探究星形胶质细胞来源的外泌体对颌骨骨髓间充质干细胞(jaw bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell,JBMSCs)增殖和成骨分化特性的影响。方法 对C57BL/6N小鼠JBMSCs 细胞进行原代提取并鉴定,取第3 代细胞进行实验。提取星形胶质细胞细胞系C8-D1A来源的外泌体并鉴定。JBMSCs被随机分为空白对照组(0 μg/mL)和外泌体处理组(10、50、100 μg/mL),外泌体处理组处理时间为24 h。通过qRTPCR检测增殖相关基因微小染色体维持蛋白2(minichromosome maintenance complex component 2,Mcm2)、成骨相关基因Runt 相关转录因子2(runt related transcription factor 2,Runx2)、碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,Alp)、骨钙素(osteocalcin,OCN) mRNA表达水平;Western blot 检测增殖相关蛋白Mcm2 及骨形态发生蛋白2(Bmp2),以及成骨相关蛋白Runx2、OCN及Alp 的表达水平。方法 成功分离培养JBMSCs,提取具有典型外泌体特征的星形胶质细胞源外泌体;qRT-PCR 结果表明,与空白对照组对比,经10 μg/mL 星形胶质细胞外泌体干预后,可提高Mcm2、Runx2、Alp、OCN的mRNA水平(P<0.05);Western blot 结果揭示,星形胶质细胞来源的外泌体处理JBMSCs 能够增强Mcm2、Bmp2、Runx2、Alp、OCN蛋白的表达(P<0.05)。结论 星形胶质细胞来源的外泌体可正向调控对JBMSCs的增殖及成骨分化,且10 μg/mL 作用浓度对促进JBMSCs的增殖及成骨分化作用最强。

     

    Abstract: Background Despite the prevalence of mandibular osseous defects, their underlying pathological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. The emerging concept of the "brain-bone" axis implies a significant regulatory crosstalk between neural and skeletal tissues. However, the potential contribution of astrocytes—crucial glial support cells within the central nervous system—and their secreted exosomes to the regenerative repair of jaw bone defects remains unexplored.Objective The primary aim of this investigation was to delineate the regulatory effects of astrocyte-derived exosomes on the cellular proliferation and osteogenic lineage commitment of Jaw Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells.Methods Primary JBMSCs were harvested and purified from C57BL/6N mice, with third-passage cells selected for subsequent assays. Concurrently, exosomes were isolated from the C8-D1A astrocyte cell line and subjected to characterization. JBMSCs were stratified into a blank control group (0 μg/mL) and experimental groups exposed to varying concentrations of AD-Exos (10, 50, and 100 μg/mL) for a 24-hour incubation period. Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to assess the mRNA transcription levels of the proliferation marker Mcm2 and osteogenic markers Runx2, Alp, and OCN. Furthermore, Western blot analysis was utilized to quantify the protein expression of Mcm2, Bmp2, Runx2, Alp, and OCN. Results Both JBMSCs and AD-Exos were successfully isolated and exhibited typical phenotypic characteristics. Comparative analysis revealed that, relative to the control group, intervention with 10 μg/mL AD-Exos significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of Mcm2, Runx2, Alp, and OCN. Consistent with genetic findings, Western blotting confirmed that the 10 μg/mL concentration notably enhanced the protein synthesis of Mcm2, Bmp2, Runx2, Alp, and OCN in JBMSCs.Conclusion AD-Exos exert a positive regulatory influence on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of JBMSCs. Specifically, a concentration of 10 μg/mL was identified as the optimal dosage for maximizing these biological responses. Collectively, these findings provide robust experimental evidence and establish a theoretical framework for developing novel biotherapies targeting jaw bone defect repair.
