摘要
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy shows the potential benefits to relieve clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), but it is uncertain if it can repair articular cartilage lesions - the main pathology of OA. Here, we prepared biomimetic cupper sulfide@phosphatidylcholine (CuS@PC) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with plasmid DNA (pDNA) encoding transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) to engineer MSCs for enhanced OA therapy via cartilage regeneration. We found that the NPs not only promoted cell proliferation and migration, but also presented a higher pDNA transfection efficiency relative to commercial transfection reagent lipofectamine 3000. The resultant CuS/TGF-β1@PC NP-engineered MSCs (termed CTP-MSCs) were better than pure MSCs in terms of chondrogenic gene expression, glycosaminoglycan deposition and type II collagen formation, favoring cartilage repair. Further, CTP-MSCs inhibited extracellular matrix degradation in interleukin-1β-induced chondrocytes. Consequently, intraarticular administration of CTP-MSCs significantly enhanced the repair of damaged cartilage, whereas pure MSCs exhibited very limited effects on cartilage regeneration in destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgical instability mice. Hence, this work provides a new strategy to overcome the limitation of current stem cell therapy in OA treatment through developing more effective nanoengineered MSCs.
