Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), i.e., adult stem cells with immunomodulatory and secretory properties, contribute to tissue growth and regeneration, including healing processes. Some metal nanoparticles (NPs) are known to exhibit antimicrobial activity and may further potentiate tissue healing. We studied the effect of Ag, CuO, and ZnO NPs after in vitro exposure of mouse MSCs at the transcriptional level in order to reveal the potential toxicity as well as modulation of other processes that may modify the activity of MSCs. mRNA-miRNA interactions were further investigated to explore the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. All the tested NPs mediated immunomodulatory effects on MSCs, generation of extracellular vesicles, inhibition of osteogenesis, and enhancement of adipogenesis. Ag NPs exhibited the most pronounced response; they impacted the expression of the highest number of mRNAs, including those encoding interferon-γ-stimulated genes and genes involved in drug metabolism/cytochrome P450 activity, suggesting a response to the potential toxicity of Ag NPs (oxidative stress). Highly interacting MiR-126 was upregulated by all NPs, while downregulation of MiR-92a was observed after the ZnO NP treatment only, and both effects might be associated with the improvement of MSCs' healing potency. Overall, our results demonstrate positive effects of NPs on MSCs, although increased oxidative stress caused by Ag NPs may limit the therapeutical potential of the combined MSC+NP treatment.
间充质干细胞(MSCs),即具有免疫调节和分泌特性的成体干细胞,有助于组织生长和再生,包括愈合过程。已知一些金属纳米颗粒(NPs)具有抗菌活性,并且可能进一步增强组织愈合。我们在转录水平上研究了银、氧化铜和氧化锌纳米颗粒在体外暴露于小鼠间充质干细胞后的作用,以揭示潜在毒性以及对可能改变间充质干细胞活性的其他过程的调节。进一步研究了mRNA- miRNA相互作用,以探索基因表达的表观遗传调控。所有测试的纳米颗粒都介导了对间充质干细胞的免疫调节作用、细胞外囊泡的产生、成骨抑制和脂肪生成增强。银纳米颗粒表现出最明显的反应;它们影响了最多数量的mRNA的表达,包括那些编码γ-干扰素刺激基因和参与药物代谢/细胞色素P450活性的基因,表明对银纳米颗粒的潜在毒性(氧化应激)有反应。所有纳米颗粒均上调了高度相互作用的MiR- 126,而仅在氧化锌纳米颗粒处理后观察到MiR- 92a的下调,这两种效应可能都与间充质干细胞愈合能力的改善有关。总体而言,我们的结果证明了纳米颗粒对间充质干细胞的积极作用,尽管银纳米颗粒引起的氧化应激增加可能会限制间充质干细胞+纳米颗粒联合治疗的治疗潜力。
