Osteogenic effect and mechanism of IL-10 in diabetic rat jaw defect mode.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-10 on the phenotype polarization of macrophages and osteogenesis in diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) rat jaw defects. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were chosen to induce the polarization of macrophages. In vitro assessment included wound-healing assay, western blotting, and alizarin red staining after co-culture of the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and induced macrophages. For in vivo study, IL-10 was loaded on GelMA-Heparin and applied to bone defects of the alveolar ridge in diabetic rats, while Bio-Oss Collagen, simple GelMA-Heparin, and blank control groups were set for contrast experiment. The mandibles of rats were processed for micro-computed tomography, histology, and immunohistochemistry 1 week and 4 weeks after the operation. RESULTS: IL-10 induced expression of arginase 1, TGF-ß1, EGR2, and Mannose Receptor (CD206), whereas LPS induced expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, CD80. The BMSCs co-cultured with macrophages induced by IL-10 showed increased migration, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization in vitro. Notably, the IL-10-laden GelMA-Heparin group showed quicker new bone formation and a higher M2/M1 ratio of macrophages in the jawbone defect area compared with the control groups. CONCLUSIONS: IL-10 can stably induce macrophages to M2 type, thereby influencing BMSCs and improving the osteogenesis of jaw bone defects.
