Elimination of senescent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can promote bone regeneration in the elderly, providing a novel approach for treating bone defects in aged individuals.
Due to the declined function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), the repair of bone defects in the elderly is retarded. Elimination of senescent cells emerges as a promising strategy for treating age-related diseases. However, whether the local elimination of senescent BMSCs can promote bone regeneration in the elderly remains elusive. To tackle the above issue, we first screened out the specific senolytics for BMSCs and confirmed their effect of eliminating senescent BMSCs in vitro. Treatment with quercetin, which is determined the best senolytics for senescent BMSCs, efficiently removed senescent cells in the population. Moreover, the self-renewal capacity was restored as well as osteogenic ability of BMSCs after treatment. We then designed a microenvironment-responsive hydrogel based on the MMPs secreted by senescent cells. This quercetin-encapsulated hydrogel exhibited a stable microstructure and responsively released quercetin in the presence of senescence in vitro. In vivo, the quercetin-loaded hydrogel effectively cleared the local senescent cells and reduced the secretion of MMPs in the bone. Due to the removal of local senescent cells, the hydrogel significantly accelerated the repair of bone defects in the femur and skull of old rats. Taken together, our study revealed the role of removing senescent cells in bone regeneration and provided a novel therapeutic approach for bone defects in aged individuals.
