Abstract

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are reduced, causing bones to become weak and so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses can cause a fracture. Current drug treatment consists mainly of antiresorptive agents that are unable to stimulate new bone formation. Our recent studies have defined a critical role of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) in attenuating autoimmune arthritis through inhibition of osteoclast formation and activities, but it remains to be ruled out whether the administration of GMSCs to patients with osteoporosis could also regulate osteoblasts and eventually affect bone formation and protection. With the use of an ovariectomized mouse model, we here demonstrated that adoptive transfer of GMSCs regulated the balance of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, eventually contributing to dynamic bone formation. Validation by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), single-cell sequencing, revealed a unique population of CD39+ GMSC that plays an important role in promoting bone formation. We further demonstrated that CD39 produced from GMSC exerted its osteogenic capacity through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Our results not only establish a previously unidentified role and mechanism of GMSC for bone promotion but also a potential therapeutic target for management of patients with osteoporosis and other bone loss conditions. Keywords: CD39; Wnt; mesenchymal stem cells; osteoporosis.
