Therapeutic effect of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in an in vitro and in vivo osteoarthritis model

Yu-Huan Hsueh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a therapeutic option for osteoarthritis (OA). iPSC-EVs protect chondrocytes by enhancing cell proliferation, suppressing premature senescence, and maintaining collagen II synthesis and matrix degradation enzyme balance. iPSC-EVs also modulate macrophage polarization and rescue damaged chondrocytes in an inflammatory microenvironment. In an animal model, iPSC-EV injection reduces cartilage destruction, indicating its potential as an OA treatment option.

A molecular map of long non-coding RNA expression, isoform switching and alternative splicing in osteoarthritis

Georgia Katsoula et al.

Summary: Osteoarthritis, a prevalent joint disease causing disability worldwide, lacks curative therapy. In this study, deep RNA sequencing was performed on knee cartilage samples from 124 patients with low and high grades of osteoarthritis. Differential gene expression, novel long non-coding RNA genes, and alterations in transcript usage and splicing were identified, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis.

The Gene Signature of Activated M-CSF-Primed Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages Is IL-10-Dependent

Victor D. Cuevas et al.

Summary: During inflammatory responses, monocytes can differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages with distinct transcriptional profiles, which are partially regulated by IL-10. This specific gene expression signature may provide potential targets for macrophage-centered therapeutic strategies.

Obesity, Inflammation, and Immune System in Osteoarthritis

Udhaya Nedunchezhiyan et al.

Summary: Obesity is the most important risk factor for the development and progression of osteoarthritis, and it was previously believed to be caused by excessive weight leading to joint overloading and cartilage destruction. However, recent studies have identified other factors such as adipose deposition, insulin resistance, and the improper coordination of innate and adaptive immune responses that contribute to obesity-associated osteoarthritis. Multiple inflammatory cells are recruited into the synovial joint and play an important role in pathological changes. Macrophage polarization and mediators produced by macrophages have been extensively studied and linked to the inflammatory and destructive responses in the synovium and cartilage. The role of other innate immune cells and adaptive immune cells in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is still under exploration.

Bioinformatics-Led Discovery of Osteoarthritis Biomarkers and Inflammatory Infiltrates

Xinyue Hu et al.

Summary: This study used bioinformatic methods to identify key biomarkers and immune infiltration in osteoarthritis. It discovered differentially expressed genes enriched in immunological response and inflammatory pathways. Two distinct immune patterns were identified and important genes in cartilage cells were investigated. Understanding the differences in immune infiltration between osteoarthritic tissues and normal tissues contributes to the understanding of osteoarthritis development.

Exosomes derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells protect cartilage and regulate the polarization of macrophages in osteoarthritis

Pengdong Li et al.

Summary: The study found that exosomes from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs-Exos) have the potential to alleviate osteoarthritis (OA). They can prevent damage to articular cartilage, promote chondrocyte proliferation and migration, inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis, and regulate macrophage polarization.

TLR7 endogenous ligands remodel glycolytic macrophages and trigger skin-to-joint crosstalk in psoriatic arthritis

Katrien Van Raemdonck et al.

Summary: This study reveals that miR-Let7b activates TLR7 and induces skin inflammation, exacerbating joint inflammation in a PsA-like preclinical model. TLR7 agonist R837 promotes metabolic reprogramming in macrophages and enhances the expression of IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-12, facilitating myeloid-to-T-cell crosstalk in mice. Inhibiting glycolysis reverses TLR7-driven inflammation in myeloid and lymphoid cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for PsA.

Interaction between Macrophages and Nanoparticles: In Vitro 3D Cultures for the Realistic Assessment of Inflammatory Activation and Modulation of Innate Memory

Benjamin J. Swartzwelter et al.

Summary: Understanding the interaction between human monocytes/macrophages and engineered nanoparticles is crucial for assessing particle safety and exploring their potential medical uses. The study compared traditional 2D cell cultures with 3D collagen matrix cultures to evaluate the effects of gold nanoparticles on monocyte activation and innate memory. The results showed that while there were similarities in the response to stimuli between 2D and 3D cultures, significant differences were observed in the memory response of cells primed with nanoparticles.
