Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) is a group of genetic conditions causing fragile bones that fracture easily. Most cases are caused by mutations in collagen genes. Severity ranges from mild to severe. Bisphosphonate therapy strengthens bones, and new treatments including gene-based approaches are in trials.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the synergistic effect of nano-pearl powder (NPP) and adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-Exos) on the osteogenic potential of MC3T3-E1 cells. METHODS: The water-soluble matrix of NPP (NPP-WSM) was extracted via freeze-drying, and ADSC-Exos were isolated by ultracentrifugation. NPP-WSM was incorporated into ADSC-Exos through co-incubation to generate NPP-WSM-Exos. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with NPP-WSM or NPP-WSM-Exos. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated using CCK-8 and wound-healing assays, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by Alizarin Red S staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The expression of osteogenesis-related genes (COL1A1, RUNX2, OCN, and OPN) was measured by qPCR and Western blotting. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted to identify signaling pathways activated by NPP-WSM-Exos. RESULTS: NPP-WSM-Exos displayed distinct exosome morphology and biomarkers, confirming their successful preparation. Significantly, NPP-WSM-Exos enhanced the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells compared to NPP-WSM alone and upregulated the expression of osteogenic genes, including COL1A1, RUNX2, OCN, and OPN, at both the transcriptional and translational levels. Additionally, NPP-WSM-Exos strongly promoted mineralization, as evidenced by the increased calcification observed through Alizarin Red S staining, and elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, indicating excellent potential for osteogenic differentiation. Transcriptome sequencing showed that NPP-WSM-Exos significantly enhanced the PI3K/AKT pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells, while protein level detection indicated that NPP-WSM-Exos could increase AKT phosphorylation levels and inhibit GSK3β activity to improve osteogenic efficiency. CONCLUSION: The use of adipose-derived stem cell exosomes to encapsulate NPP-WSM can increase the utilization of WSM, promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1, and enhance the osteogenic differentiation ability.
