近年来,外泌体在组织再生中的应用越来越广泛。然而,由于细胞外泌体分泌能力有限,其实际应用受到严重限制。有研究表明,生物材料可以显著增强细胞的旁分泌作用,而外泌体是细胞间旁分泌通讯的主要信号载体,因此认为生物材料影响细胞的外泌体分泌及其生物学功能。在本研究中,45S5生物玻璃被广泛认可,利用其离子产物为间充质干细胞创造一个温和的、细胞友好的微环境。结果表明,BG离子产物可通过上调中性鞘磷脂酶-2 (nSMase2)和Rab27a的表达,显著促进MSCs外泌体的产生,而nSMases和Rab27a分别增强了nSMases和Rab蛋白通路。此外,基因微阵列分析表明BG离子产物可以通过降低microRNA-342-5p水平和提高microRNA-1290水平来调控mscs来源的外泌体的内容物。随后,外泌体的功能被修饰,其促进内皮细胞血管化和促进皮内血管生成的能力被增强。综上所述,BG离子产品被证实可以促进外泌体的产生,同时改善外泌体的功能,为提高外泌体在再生医学中的实际应用提供了可行的途径。

Recently, exosomes have been extensively applied in tissue regeneration. However, their practical applications are severely restricted by the limited exosome secretion capability of cells.  Studies have shown that biomaterials can significantly enhance the paracrine effects of cells and exosomes are the main signal carriers of intercellular paracrine communication, thus biomaterials are considered to affect the exosome secretion of cells and their biological function. In this study, a widely recognized biomaterial, 45S5 Bioglass (BG), is used to create a mild and cell-friendly microenvironment for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with its ion products. Results showed that BG ion products can significantly improve exosome production of MSCs by upregulating the expression of neutral sphingomyelinase-2 (nSMase2) and Rab27a which enhanced the nSMases and Rab GTPases pathways, respectively. Besides, microRNA analysis indicates that BG ion products can modulate the cargoes of MSCs-derived exosomes by decreasing microRNA-342-5p level while increasing microRNA-1290 level. Subsequently, the function of exosomes is modified as their capabilities of promoting the vascularization of endothelial cells and facilitating the intradermal angiogenesis are enhanced. Taken together, BG ion products are confirmed to enhance exosome production and simultaneously improve exosome function, suggesting a feasible approach to improve the practical application of exosomes in regenerative medicine.
