摘要
Pulpitis, an inflammatory disease of dental pulp tissues, ultimately results in the loss of pulp defense properties. Existing clinical modalities cannot effectively promote inflamed pulp repair. Oxidative stress is a major obstacle inhibiting pulp repair. Due to their powerful antioxidative capacity, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) exhibit potential for treating oxidative stress-related disorders. However, whether MSC-sEVs shield dental pulp tissues from oxidative damage is largely unknown. Here, we showed that dental follicle stem cell-derived sEVs (DFSC-sEVs) have antioxidative and prohealing effects on a rat LPS-induced pulpitis model by enhancing the survival, proliferation and odontogenesis of H2O2-injured dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Additionally, DFSC-sEVs restored the oxidative/antioxidative balance in DPSC mitochondria and had comparable effects on ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction with the mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant Mito-Tempo. To improve the efficacy of DFSC-sEVs, we fabricated an intelligent and injectable hydrogel to release DFSC-sEVs by combining sodium alginate (SA) and the ROS sensor RhB-AC. The newly formed SA-RhB hydrogel efficiently encapsulates DFSC-sEVs and exhibits controlled release of DFSC-sEVs in a HClO/ClO− concentration-dependent manner, providing a synergistic antioxidant effect with DFSC-sEVs. These results suggest that DFSC-sEVs-loaded SA-RhB is a promising minimally invasive treatment for pulpitis by enhancing tissue repair in the pulp wound microenvironment.
