| Sumario: | Abstract The differentiation of osteoblasts is under complex regulation that includes autocrine and paracrine signaling from MSCs. Exosomes are important components of the MSC secretome and their cargo contains numerous miRNAs. In this study, the importance of MSC miRNAs in modulation of osteoblastic differentiation was examined by global reduction of miRNA biosynthesis in Dicer knock down hMSCs. We additionally impaired hMSC responses to miRNAs by knockdown of Argonaute 2 expression. Knockdown of Dicer and Argonaute 2 both reduced osteoblastic differentiation of hMSCs. This was observed at the levels of hMSC culture mineralization and osteoblastic gene expression. The treatment of Dicer deficient hMSCs with wild type hMSC exosomes effectively recovered the impaired osteoblastic differentiation. Dicer knockdown reduced the quantity and diversity of miRNAs present in hMSC exosomes. miRSeq data and KEGG analysis implicated the miRNA-dependent effects on multiple osteoinductive pathways in Dicer deficient cells, including the Hippo signaling and TGF-beta signaling pathways. Treatment of hMSCs with mimics of miRNAs significantly downregulated in Dicer knockdown cells recovered functions of exosome-mediated signaling in hMSCs. These results indicate that hMSC exosomes exert miRNA-dependent control that contributes to osteoblastic differentiation. |
