摘要

Exosomes derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show promising potential for treating bone defects. However, their clinical application is hindered by low yield and insufficient repair ability. Three-dimensional (3D) mechanical stimulation has been a well-known method for enhancing exosome secretion; however, the traditional stimulation process is always achieved by controlling the displacement of manipulators, which may induce uneven loading distribution and degradation of stimulation strength. Here, we propose a micro-stretching manipulator that automatically controls the stretching force applied to gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA) hybrid hydrogel sheets containing BMSCs within an incubator. To ensure the structural stability of the sheets after long-term stretching, the mixing ratio between GelMA and HAMA was optimized according to the mechanical property response of the sheets to cyclical loading. Subsequently, force-controlled mechanical loading was applied to the BMSC-laden sheets to produce exosomes. Compared with displacement control, force-controlled loading provides a more stable force stimulation, thereby enhancing exosome secretion. Furthermore, continuously stimulated exosomes exhibited a stronger capacity for promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and facilitating the repair of bone defects in a rat model. These findings suggest that force-controlled loading of cell-laden hydrogels offers a novel approach for the production of BMSC-derived exosomes and their application in bone repair.
