Mechanism study of BMSC-exosomes combined with hyaluronic acid gel in the treatment of posttraumatic osteoarthritis

Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism and efficacy of gel in the treatment of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), combined with hyaluronic acid (HA) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (BMSC-EXOs), and to explain its role in alleviating oxidative stress damage induced by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). MethodsHow is the therapeutic potential of toa influenced by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-EXO to be evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, BMSC-EXOs were extracted and characterized from rat specimens and labeled with Dil. Rat primary chondrocytes were then isolated to create a cellular PTOA model. BMSC-EXOs + HA group, BMSC-EXOs + HA + 740Y–P group, model group, BMSC-EXOs group, HA group, and control group were included in the cell group, and the function of cartilage matrix and the level of oxidative stress could be evaluated. Cartilage matrix integrity and oxidative stress can be assessed by grouping rats. At the same time, a rat model of ptosis can be established by excision of the anterior cruciate ligament, and joint rehabilitation, with pro-inflammatory and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be used to determine anti-inflammatory markers. ResultsThe combined use of BMSC-EXOs and HA gel was found to significantly reduce oxidative stress in chondrocytes and PTOA rat models, improving cartilage mechanical properties more effectively than BMSC-EXOs alone. ConclusionBMSC-EXOs combined with HA gel offer a promising treatment for PTOA by modulating damage caused by mitochondrial ROS-induced oxidative stress.
