doi: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2026.01.006

Figure Lengend Snippet: NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs induce RSPO3 secretion via an ITGA4/PI3K/Akt-dependent mechanism. A- D.Proteomic profiling identifies ITGA4 as a key mediator linking NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs to RSPO3. (A). Significantly enriched proteins in NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs using proteomic analysis (n = 3). (B, C). Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of proteins in NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs, highlight integrin binding, cell adhesion and PI3K-Akt signaling. (D). The protein-protein interaction network integrating RSPO3 with top enriched EV proteins, reveals a potential functional link with ITGA4. E- I.EV-surface ITGA4 is essential for chondrocyte targeting and RSPO3 induction. (E). The schematic hypothesizes the ITGA4-initiated signaling axis related to RSPO3 secretion. (F) qPCR analysis shows that the increased transcriptional level of Rspo3 in chondrocytes treated with NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs is inhibited by an ITGA4-neutralizing antibody (Trosunilimab) (n = 6). (G). qPCR validation of Itga4 knockdown efficiency in ADSCs (n = 6). (H). Western blot analysis confirms the successful generation of ITGA4-deficient EVs (NsPEFs-EVs-ITGA4-KD) from Itga4 -knockdown ADSCs, while maintaining EV purity (CD63 + /Calnexin − ) (n = 3). (I) Cellular uptake of DiR-labeled NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs-ITGA4-KD by chondrocyte is significantly impaired compared to that of NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs-NC. Quantification of fluorescence intensity is shown (scale bar: 36.8 μm; n = 3). J-L.ITGA4 initiates RSPO3 expression through the PI3K/Akt pathway. (J). Western blot analysis of Akt phosphorylation (p-Akt) and RSPO3 in chondrocytes treated with the indicated EVs (n = 3). (K). qPCR analysis of Rspo3 confirms that ITGA4-deficient EVs fail to induce RSPO3 expression (n = 6). (L). Pharmacological inhibition of PI3K (LY294002) or Akt (MK-2206) abolishes NsPEFs-ADSCs-EVs-induced Rspo3 upregulation in chondrocytes (n = 6). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
