Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS‐stimulated BMSC‐derived exosome promotes osteoclastogenesis via miR‐151‐3p/PAFAH1B1

Abstract

ObjectivesPorphyromonas gingivalis‐LPS regulated bone metabolism by triggering dysfunction of osteoblasts directly, and affecting activity of osteoclasts through intracellular communication. Exosome, as the mediator of intercellular communication, was important vesicle to regulate osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. This research was designed for investigating the mechanism of BMSCs‐EXO in modulating osteoclastic activity under the P. gingivalis‐LPS.Materials and methodsThe cytotoxicity and osteogenic effects of P. gingivalis‐LPS on BMSCs was evaluated, and then osteoclastic activity of RAW264.7 co‐cultured with exosomes was detected. Besides, Affymetrix miRNA array and luciferase reporter assay were used to identify the target exosomal miRNA signal pathway.ResultsBMSCs' osteogenic differentiation and proliferation were decreased under 1 and 10 μg/mL P. gingivalis‐LPS. Osteoclastic‐related genes and proteins levels were promoted by P. gingivalis‐LPS‐stimulated BMSCs‐EXO. Based on the miRNA microarray analysis, exosomal miR‐151‐3p was lessened in BMExo‐LPS group, which facilitated osteoclastic differentiation through miR‐151‐3p/PAFAH1B1.ConclusionsPorphyromonas gingivalis‐LPS could regulated bone metabolism by inhibiting proliferation and osteogenesis of BMSCs directly. Also, P. gingivalis‐LPS‐stimulated BMSCs‐EXO promoted osteoclastogenesis via activating miR‐151‐3p/PAFAH1B1 signal pathway.
