Abstract

Abstract:

Objective: Preparation of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels loaded with exosomes (EXO) of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) to investigate its anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects in periodontitis. Methods: SHED EXO was extracted and loaded with high molecular weight HA as matrix to synthesize injectable HA hydrogel (SHED-HA) and its degradation rate was determined. The biocompatibility of SHED-HA was analyzed by CCK-8 method, and the osteogenic induction and inflammatory inhibition of SHED-HA were studied by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR). Subsequently, the effect of SHED-HA on alveolar bone defect in mice was analyzed by micro-CT. Results: SHED-HA had a suitable degradability at the concentration of 6% w/v HA. CCK-8 results showed that SHED-HA had good biocompatibility. RT-qPCR results showed that the expression levels of inflammatory genes IL-1β and IL-6 were down-regulated in the SHED-HA group, while the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation related genes Runx2,OPN and OCN were up-regulated. In vivo experiments showed that SHED-HA reduced alveolar bone destruction in mice. Conclusion: The HA hydrogel SHED-HA of SHED exosome was successfully constructed, and it was found that SHED-HA has anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects on mouse periodontitis.

摘要：

目的：制备负载人脱落乳牙干细胞（stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth，SHED）外泌体（exosomes，EXO）的可注射透明质酸（hyaluronic acid，HA）水凝胶，探究其在牙周炎中的抗炎及成骨作用。方法：提取SHED外泌体，以高分子量HA为基质，在其中负载SHED外泌体以合成可注射HA水凝胶（SHED-HA），并测定其降解率。采用CCK-8法分析SHED-HA的生物相容性，应用实时定量聚合酶链反应（real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction，RT-qPCR）研究SHED-HA的成骨诱导作用及炎症抑制作用。随后，通过micro-CT来分析SHED-HA对小鼠牙槽骨缺损的挽救作用。结果：6% w/v透明质酸水凝胶具有较合适的降解性。CCK-8结果显示，SHED-HA具有较好的生物相容性能。RT-qPCR结果显示，SHED-HA组炎症基因IL-1β、IL-6的表达水平下调，而成骨分化相关基因Runx2、OPN、OCN的表达水平上调。体内实验显示，SHED-HA能减轻小鼠牙槽骨破坏。结论：成功构建负载了SHED外泌体的HA水凝胶SHED-HA，同时证实了其对小鼠牙周炎具有抗炎、成骨的作用。
