Aim: Effect of artesunate (ART)-treated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) on osteogenesis and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. Materials & methods: Proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcified nodule formation of osteoblasts were determined. A mouse model of osteoporosis was established by ovariectomy. Results:SNHG7 was upregulated in BMSC-Exos by twofold, which was further enhanced in ART-BMSC-Exos by about twofold. ART intensified BMSC-Exos-induced proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity by about fourfold, calcified nodule formation by about threefold and upregulation of osteogenesis related molecules RUNX2 (by 50%), BMP2 (by 30%) and ATF4 (by 40%) via delivering SNHG7. Mechanistically, SNHG7 recruited TAF15 to facilitate RUNX2 stability. Conclusion: ART-BMSC-Exos facilitated osteogenesis via delivering SNHG7 by modulating TAF15/RUNX2 axis.Plain language summaryOsteoporosis is the most common and complex skeletal disorder worldwide. Exosomes derived from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-Exos) have been recognized as an ideal seed source for bone tissue regeneration. We aimed to explore the effect of artesunate (ART)-BMSC-Exos on osteogenesis and its underlying mechanisms. The results showed that ART-BMSC derived exosomal SNHG7 facilitated osteoblast activity and attenuated osteogenesis in mice by modulating TAF15/RUNX2 pathway. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the therapeutic mechanisms of ART-BMSCs-Exos for osteoporosis and suggest ART-BMSC-Exos as a novel therapeutic option for osteoporosis.
Excessive inflammation leads to periodontitis, which inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), irreversibly injured and difficultly repaired for the important dental pulp. Hence, it is necessary to study the functional gene to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Previous found that SNHG7 expression was increased in the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. However, the regulatory functions of SNHG7 on osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs in the inflammatory microenvironment still remains unknown. In this study, hDPSCs treatment with 50 ng/mL TNF-α to mimic the inflammatory microenvironment, then cultured in osteoblast differentiation medium for 14 days. SNHG7, miR-6512–3p, BSP , DSPP, DMP-1, RUNX2 and OPN in hDPSCs were detect by RT-qPCR. We found that SNHG7 expression was reduced during the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs after different concentrations TNF-α treatment. SNHG7 overexpression improved the TNF-α-induced suppression of calcium deposition, ALP activity, and the expression of BSP, DSPP, DMP-1, RUNX2 and OPN. Furthermore, SNHG7 can sponge with miR-6512–3p. miR-6512–3p expression was increased during the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs after different concentrations TNF-α treatment while inhibited after SNHG7 overexpression. knockdown of miR-6512–3p improved the TNF-α-induced suppression of calcium deposition, ALP activity, and the expression of BSP, DSPP, DMP-1, RUNX2 and OPN. Finally, miR-6512–3p overexpression reversed the effect of SNHG7 on the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of TNF-α-treated hDPSCs. In conclusions, SNHG7 improves the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs by inhibiting miR-6512–3p expression under 50 ng/mL TNF-α-induced inflammatory environment, which provided potential targets for the treatment of periodontitis.
