Abstract
Tissue regeneration is a complex process that involves the recruitment of various types of cells for healing after injury; it is mediated by numerous precise interactions. However, the identification of effective targets for improving tissue regeneration remains a challenge. As an extracellular matrix protein, Agrin plays a critical role in neuromuscular junction formation. Furthermore, recent studies have revealed the role of Agrin in regulating tissue proliferation and regeneration, which contributes to the repair process of injured tissues. An in‑depth understanding of the role of Agrin will therefore be of value. Given that repair and regeneration processes occur in various parts of the human body, the present systematic review focuses on the role of Agrin in typical tissue and highlights the potential signaling pathways that are involved in Agrin‑induced repair and regeneration. This review offers important insight into novel strategies for the future clinical applications of Agrin‑based therapies, which may represent a feasible treatment option for patients who require organ replacement or repair.

Abo-Elenin MHH, Kamel R, Nofal S, Ahmed AAE. The crucial role of beta-catenin in the osteoprotective effect of semaglutide in an ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03378-z. [PMID: 39254876 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-024-03378-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common chronic medical illness resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation along with microarchitecture degeneration attributed to estrogen deficiency and often accompanied by other medical conditions such as weight gain, depression, and insomnia. Semaglutide (SEM) is a recently introduced GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus by mitigating insulin resistance. It has been discovered that the beneficial effects of GLP-1 are associated with alterations in lipolysis, adipogenesis, and anti-inflammatory processes. GLP-1 analogs transmit signals directly to adipose tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multidisciplinary cells that originate from bone marrow, migrate to injury sites, and promote bone regeneration. MSCs can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipose cells, and cartilage cells. Our aim is to investigate the role of semaglutide on bone formation and the Wnt signaling pathway. Osteoporosis was induced in female rats by ovariectomy, and the ovariectomized rats were treated with alendronate as standard treatment with a dose of 3 mg/kg orally and semaglutide with two doses (150 mcg/kg and 300 mcg/kg) S.C. for 10 successive weeks. Semaglutide ameliorates bone detrimental changes induced by ovariectomy. It improves bone microarchitecture and preserves bone mineral content. Semaglutide ameliorates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis and increases the expression of β-catenin, leading to increased bone formation and halted receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL's) activation. Semaglutide can be used as a potential prophylactic and therapeutic drug against osteoporosis, possibly by activating Wnt signaling and decreasing bone resorption.

Exosomes derived from BMSCs in osteogenic differentiation promote type H blood vessel angiogenesis through miR-150-5p mediated metabolic reprogramming of endothelial cells. Cell Mol Life Sci 2024; 81:344. [PMID: 39133273 PMCID: PMC11335269 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-024-05371-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Osteogenesis is tightly coupled with angiogenesis spatiotemporally. Previous studies have demonstrated that type H blood vessel formed by endothelial cells with high expression of CD31 and Emcn (CD31hi Emcnhi ECs) play a crucial role in bone regeneration. The mechanism of the molecular communication around CD31hi Emcnhi ECs and bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the osteogenic microenvironment is unclear. This study indicates that exosomes from bone mesenchymal stem cells with 7 days osteogenic differentiation (7D-BMSCs-exo) may promote CD31hi Emcnhi ECs angiogenesis, which was verified by tube formation assay, qRT-PCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence staining and µCT assays etc. in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, by exosomal miRNA microarray and WGCNA assays, we identified downregulated miR-150-5p as the most relative hub gene coupling osteogenic differentiation and type H blood vessel angiogenesis. With bioinformatics assays, dual luciferase reporter experiments, qRT-PCR and Western blot assays, SOX2(SRY-Box Transcription Factor 2) was confirmed as a novel downstream target gene of miR-150-5p in exosomes, which might be a pivotal mechanism regulating CD31hi Emcnhi ECs formation. Additionally, JC-1 immunofluorescence staining, Western blot and seahorse assay results showed that the overexpression of SOX2 could shift metabolic reprogramming from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis to enhance the CD31hi Emcnhi ECs formation. The PI3k/Akt signaling pathway might play a key role in this process. In summary, BMSCs in osteogenic differentiation might secrete exosomes with low miR-150-5p expression to induce type H blood vessel formation by mediating SOX2 overexpression in ECs. These findings might reveal a molecular mechanism of osteogenesis coupled with type H blood vessel angiogenesis in the osteogenic microenvironment and provide a new therapeutic target or cell-free remedy for osteogenesis impaired diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1) has been found to be involved in osteogenesis and osteoclast in various human diseases, but the molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. In this study, we aim to use siRNA and lentivirus to reduce or increase the expression of CA1 in Dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs), in order to further elucidate the role and mechanism of CA1 in osteogenesis, and provide better osteogenic growth factors and stem cell selection for the application of bone tissue engineering in alveolar bone fracture transplantation. METHODS The study used RNA interference and lentiviral vectors to manipulate the expression of the CA1 gene in DFSCs during in vitro osteogenic induction. The expression of osteogenic marker genes was evaluated and changes in CA1, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2) were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB). The osteogenic effect was assessed through Alizarin Red staining. RESULTS The mRNA and protein expression levels of CA1, ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2 decreased distinctly in the si-CA1 group than other groups (p < 0.05). In the Lentivirus-CA1 (LV-CA1) group, the mRNA and protein expressions of CA1, ALP, RUNX2, and BMP2 were amplified to varying degrees than other groups (p < 0.05). Apart from CA1, BMP2 (43.01%) and ALP (36.69%) showed significant upregulation (p < 0.05). Alizarin red staining indicated that the LV-CA1 group produced more calcified nodules than other groups, with a higher optical density (p < 0.05), and the osteogenic effect was superior. CONCLUSIONS CA1 can impact osteogenic differentiation via BMP related signaling pathways, positioning itself upstream in osteogenic signaling pathways, and closely linked to osteoblast calcification and ossification processes.

Abstract
Skeletal stem cells have been isolated from various tissues, including periosteum and bone marrow, where they exhibit key functions in bone biology and hematopoiesis, respectively. The role of periosteal skeletal stem cells in bone regeneration and healing has been extensively studied, but their ability to contribute to the bone marrow stroma is still under debate. In the present study, we characterized a whole bone transplantation model that mimics the initial bone marrow necrosis and fatty infiltration seen after injury. Using this model and a lineage tracing approach, we observed the migration of periosteal skeletal stem cells into the bone marrow after transplantation. Once in the bone marrow, periosteal skeletal stem cells are phenotypically and functionally reprogrammed into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells that express high levels of hematopoietic stem cell niche factors such as Cxcl12 and Kitl. In addition, using in-vitro and in-vivo approaches, we found that periosteal skeletal stem cells are more resistant to acute stress than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. These results highlight the plasticity of periosteal skeletal stem cells and their potential role in bone marrow regeneration after bone marrow injury.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are associated with imbalanced bone remodeling. Skeletal injury leads to limited motor function and pain. Neurophilin was initially identified in axons, and its various ligands and roles in bone remodeling, angiogenesis, neuropathic pain and immune regulation were later discovered. Neurophilin promotes osteoblast mineralization and inhibits osteoclast differentiation and its function. Neuropolin-1 provides channels for immune cell chemotaxis and cytokine diffusion and leads to pain. Neuropolin-1 regulates the proportion of T helper type 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg cells), and affects bone immunity. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) combine with neuropilin and promote angiogenesis. Class 3 semaphorins (Sema3a) compete with VEGF to bind neuropilin, which reduces angiogenesis and rejects sympathetic nerves. This review elaborates on the structure and general physiological functions of neuropilin and summarizes the role of neuropilin and its ligands in bone and cartilage diseases. Finally, treatment strategies and future research directions based on neuropilin are proposed.

Abstract
The three-dimensional-printed Ti6Al4V implant (3DTi) has been widely accepted for the reconstruction of massive bone defects in orthopedics owing to several advantages, such as its tailored shape design, avoiding bone graft and superior bone-implant interlock. However, the osteoinduction activity of 3DTi is inadequate when applied clinically even though it exhibits osteoconduction. This study developes a comprehensive coatless strategy for the surface improvement of 3DTi through copper (Cu) ion implantation and ultraviolet (UV) photofunctionalization to enhance osteoinductivity. The newly constructed functional 3DTi (UV/Ti-Cu) achieved stable and controllable Cu doping, sustained Cu2+ releasing, and increased surface hydrophilicity. By performing cellular experiments, we determined that the safe dose range of Cu ion implantation was less than 5×1016 ions/cm2. The implanted Cu2+ enhanced the ALP activity and the apatite formation ability of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) while slightly decreasing proliferation ability. When combined with UV photofunctionalization, cell adhesion and proliferation were significantly promoted and bone mineralization was further increased. Meanwhile, UV/Ti-Cu was conducive to the migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro, theoretically facilitating vascular coupling osteogenesis. In conclusion, UV/Ti-Cu is a novel attempt to apply two coatless techniques for the surface modification of 3DTi. In addition, it is considered a potential bone substrate for repairing bone defects.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress immune responses and inflammation. Here, we described the distinct nonimmunological role of Tregs in fracture healing. The recruitment from the circulation pool, peripheral induction, and local expansion rapidly enriched Tregs in the injured bone. The Tregs in the injured bone displayed superiority in direct osteogenesis over Tregs from lymphoid organs. Punctual depletion of Tregs compromised the fracture healing process, which leads to increased bone nonunion. In addition, bone callus Tregs showed unique T-cell receptor repertoires. Amphiregulin was the most overexpressed protein in bone callus Tregs, and it can directly facilitate the proliferation and differentiation of osteogenic precursor cells by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathways. The results of loss- and gain-function studies further evidenced that amphiregulin can reverse the compromised healing caused by Treg dysfunction. Tregs also enriched in patient bone callus and amphiregulin can promote the osteogenesis of human pre-osteoblastic cells. Our findings indicate the distinct and nonredundant role of Tregs in fracture healing, which will provide a new therapeutic target and strategy in the clinical treatment of fractures.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to skeletal changes, including bone loss in the unfractured skeleton, and paradoxically accelerates healing of bone fractures; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. TBI is associated with a hyperadrenergic state characterized by increased norepinephrine release. Here, we identified the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) as a mediator of skeletal changes in response to increased norepinephrine. In a murine model of femoral osteotomy combined with cortical impact brain injury, TBI was associated with ADRB2-dependent enhanced fracture healing compared with osteotomy alone. In the unfractured 12-week-old mouse skeleton, ADRB2 was required for TBI-induced decrease in bone formation and increased bone resorption. Adult 30-week-old mice had higher bone concentrations of norepinephrine, and ADRB2 expression was associated with decreased bone volume in the unfractured skeleton and better fracture healing in the injured skeleton. Norepinephrine stimulated expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A and calcitonin gene-related peptide-α (αCGRP) in periosteal cells through ADRB2, promoting formation of osteogenic type-H vessels in the fracture callus. Both ADRB2 and αCGRP were required for the beneficial effect of TBI on bone repair. Adult mice deficient in ADRB2 without TBI developed fracture nonunion despite high bone formation in uninjured bone. Blocking ADRB2 with propranolol impaired fracture healing in mice, whereas the ADRB2 agonist formoterol promoted fracture healing by regulating callus neovascularization. A retrospective cohort analysis of 72 patients with long bone fractures indicated improved callus formation in 36 patients treated with intravenous norepinephrine. These findings suggest that ADRB2 is a potential therapeutic target for promoting bone healing.

[PMID: 38348695 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation is important for fracture healing. Microfibrial-associated glycoprotein 2 (MAGP2) is found to function as a proangiogenic regulator in bone formation; however, its role in osteogenic differentiation during bone repair is not clear. Here, a mouse model of critical-sized femur fracture was constructed, and the adenovirus expressing MAGP2 was delivered into the fracture site. Mice with MAGP2 overexpression exhibited increased bone mineral density and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) at Day 14 postfracture. Within 7 days postfracture, overexpression of MAGP2 increased collagen I and II expression at the fracture callus, with increasing chondrogenesis. MAGP2 inhibited collagen II level but elevated collagen I by 14 days following fracture, accompanied by increased endochondral bone formation. In mouse osteoblast precursor MC3T3-E1 cells, MAGP2 treatment elevated the expression of osteoblastic factors (osterix, BGLAP and collagen I) and enhanced ALP activity and mineralization through activating β-catenin signaling after osteogenic induction. Besides, MAGP2 could interact with lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) and upregulated its expression. Promotion of osteogenic differentiation and β-catenin activation mediated by MAGP2 was partially reversed by LRP5 knockdown. Interestingly, β-catenin/transcription factor 4 (TCF4) increased MAGP2 expression probably by binding to MAGP2 promoter. These findings suggest that MAGP2 may interact with β-catenin/TCF4 to enhance β-catenin/TCF4's function and activate LRP5-activated β-catenin signaling pathway, thus promoting osteogenic differentiation for fracture repair. mRNA sequencing identified the potential targets of MAGP2, providing novel insights into MAGP2 function and the directions for future research.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is a bioabsorbable metal that shows great potential as an implant material for orthopedic applications. Suitable concentrations of zinc ions promote osteogenesis, while excess zinc ions cause apoptosis. As a result, the conflicting impacts of Zn2+ concentration on osteogenesis could prove to be significant problems for the creation of novel materials. This study thoroughly examined the cell viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) cultured in various concentrations of Zn2+ in vitro and validated the osteogenesis effects of zinc implantation in vivo. The effective promotion of cell survival, proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) may be achieved at a low concentration of Zn2+ (125 μM). The excessively high concentration of zinc ions (>250 μM) not only reduces BMSCs' viability and proliferation but also causes them to suffer apoptosis due to the disturbed zinc homeostasis and excessive Zn2+. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing was used to examine the underlying mechanisms of zinc-induced osteogenic differentiation with particular attention paid to the PI3K-AKT and TGF-β pathways. The present investigation elucidated the dual impacts of Zn2+ microenvironments on the osteogenic characteristics of rBMSCs and the associated processes and might offer significant insights for refining the blueprint for zinc-based biomaterials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigates the role of IGFBP3-mediated m6A modification in regulating the miR-23a-3p/SMAD5 axis and its impact on fracture healing, aiming to provide insights into potential therapeutic targets. METHODS Utilizing fracture-related datasets, we identified m6A modification-related mRNA and predicted miR-23a-3p as a regulator of SMAD5. We established a mouse fracture healing model and conducted experiments, including Micro-CT, RT-qPCR, Alizarin Red staining, and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, to assess gene expression and osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS IGFBP3 emerged as a crucial player in fracture healing, stabilizing miR-23a-3p through m6A modification, leading to SMAD5 downregulation. This, in turn, inhibited osteogenic differentiation and delayed fracture healing. Inhibition of IGFBP3 partially reversed through SMAD5 inhibition, restoring osteogenic differentiation and fracture healing in vivo. CONCLUSION The IGFBP3/miR-23a-3p/SMAD5 axis plays a pivotal role in fracture healing, highlighting the relevance of m6A modification. IGFBP3's role in stabilizing miR-23a-3p expression through m6A modification offers a potential therapeutic target for enhancing fracture healing outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Investigating the molecular biology underpinning the early-stage of traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is crucial for discovering new ways to prevent the disease. This study aimed to explore the dynamic changes of transcriptome from the intra-articular hematoma or the newly generated ankylosed callus during the onset and early progression of TMJ ankylosis. METHODS Based on a well-established sheep model of TMJ bony ankylosis, the genome-wide microarray data were obtained from samples at postoperative Days 1, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14 and 28, with intra-articular hematoma at Day 1 serving as controls. Fold changes in gene expression values were measured, and genes were identified via clustering based on time series analysis and further categorised into three major temporal classes: increased, variable and decreased expression groups. The genes in these three temporal groups were further analysed to reveal pathways and establish their biological significance. RESULTS Osteoblastic and angiogenetic genes were found to be significantly expressed in the increased expression group. Genes linked to inflammation and osteoclasts were found in the decreased expression group. The various biological processes and pathways related to each temporal expression group were identified, and the increased expression group comprised genes exclusively involved in the following pathways: Hippo signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway and Rap 1 signaling pathway. The decreased expression group comprised genes exclusively involved in immune-related pathways and osteoclast differentiation. The variable expression group consisted of genes associated with DNA replication, DNA repair and DNA recombination. Significant biological pathways and transcription factors expressed at each time point postoperatively were also identified. CONCLUSIONS These data, for the first time, presented the temporal gene expression profiling and reveal the important process of molecular biology in the early-stage of traumatic TMJ bony ankylosis. The findings might contributed to identifying potential targets for the treatment of TMJ ankylosis.

Abstract
Precision drug delivery and multimodal synergistic therapy are crucial in treating diverse ailments, such as cancer, tissue damage, and degenerative diseases. Electrodes that emit electric pulses have proven effective in enhancing molecule release and permeability in drug delivery systems. Moreover, the physiological electrical microenvironment plays a vital role in regulating biological functions and triggering action potentials in neural and muscular tissues. Due to their unique noncentrosymmetric structures, many 2D materials exhibit outstanding piezoelectric performance, generating positive and negative charges under mechanical forces. This ability facilitates precise drug targeting and ensures high stimulus responsiveness, thereby controlling cellular destinies. Additionally, the abundant active sites within piezoelectric 2D materials facilitate efficient catalysis through piezochemical coupling, offering multimodal synergistic therapeutic strategies. However, the full potential of piezoelectric 2D nanomaterials in drug delivery system design remains underexplored due to research gaps. In this context, the current applications of piezoelectric 2D materials in disease management are summarized in this review, and the development of drug delivery systems influenced by these materials is forecast.

Abstract
Bone fracture repair is a complex, multi-step process that involves communication between immune and stromal cells to coordinate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. In the US, 10% of all bone fractures do not heal properly without intervention, resulting in non-union. Complications from non-union fractures are physically and financially debilitating. We now appreciate the important role that immune cells play in tissue repair, and the necessity of the inflammatory response in initiating healing after skeletal trauma. The temporal dynamics of immune and stromal cell populations have been well characterized across the stages of fracture healing. Recent studies have begun to untangle the intricate mechanisms driving the immune response during normal or atypical, delayed healing. Various in vivo models of fracture healing, including genetic knockouts, as well as in vitro models of the fracture callus, have been implemented to enable experimental manipulation of the heterogeneous cellular environment. The goals of this review are to (1): summarize our current understanding of immune cell involvement in fracture healing (2); describe state-of-the art approaches to study inflammatory cells in fracture healing, including computational and in vitro models; and (3) identify gaps in our knowledge concerning immune-stromal crosstalk during bone healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The healing of a bone injury is a highly complex process involving a multitude of different tissue and cell types, including immune cells, which play a major role in the initiation and progression of bone regeneration. METHODS We histologically analyzed the spatio-temporal occurrence of cells of the innate immune system (macrophages), the adaptive immune system (B and T lymphocytes), and bone cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) in the fracture area of a femoral osteotomy over the healing time. This study was performed in a bone osteotomy gap mouse model. We also investigated two key challenges of successful bone regeneration: hypoxia and revascularization. RESULTS Macrophages were present in and around the fracture gap throughout the entire healing period. The switch from initially pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype coincided with the revascularization as well as the appearance of osteoblasts in the fracture area. This indicates that M2 macrophages are necessary for the restoration of vessels and that they also play an orchestrating role in osteoblastogenesis during bone healing. The presence of adaptive immune cells throughout the healing process emphasizes their essential role for regenerative processes that exceeds a mere pathogen defense. B and T cells co-localize consistently with bone cells throughout the healing process, consolidating their crucial role in guiding bone formation. These histological data provide, for the first time, comprehensive information about the complex interrelationships of the cellular network during the entire bone healing process in one standardized set up. With this, an overall picture of the spatio-temporal interplay of cellular key players in a bone healing scenario has been created. CONCLUSIONS A spatio-temporal distribution of immune cells, bone cells, and factors driving bone healing at time points that are decisive for this process-especially during the initial steps of inflammation and revascularization, as well as the soft and hard callus phases-has been visualized. The results show that the bone healing cascade does not consist of five distinct, consecutive phases but is a rather complex interrelated and continuous process of events, especially at the onset of healing.

Abstract
Disorders of chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral osteogenesis are major underlying factors in skeletal developmental disorders, including tibial dysplasia (TD), osteoarthritis (OA), chondrodysplasia (ACH), and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). Understanding the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of these disorders is crucial for addressing orthopedic diseases resulting from impaired glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Glycosaminoglycan is a broad term that refers to the glycan component of proteoglycan macromolecules. It is an essential component of the cartilage extracellular matrix and plays a vital role in various biological processes, including gene transcription, signal transduction, and chondrocyte differentiation. Recent studies have demonstrated that glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis plays a regulatory role in chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral osteogenesis by modulating various growth factors and signaling molecules. For instance, glycosaminoglycan is involved in mediating pathways such as Wnt, TGF-β, FGF, Ihh-PTHrP, and O-GlcNAc glycosylation, interacting with transcription factors SOX9, BMPs, TGF-β, and Runx2 to regulate chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral osteogenesis. To propose innovative approaches for addressing orthopedic diseases caused by impaired glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, we conducted a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms underlying chondrocyte glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, which regulates chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral osteogenesis. Our analysis considers the role of genes, glycoproteins, and associated signaling pathways during chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), as an autologous blood preparation, has been receiving increasing attention in recent years and has been successfully applied in various clinical treatments for alveolar bone regeneration in the oral field. This review focuses on analyzing and summarizing the role and mechanism of PRF in alveolar bone regeneration. We first provide a brief introduction to PRF, then summarize the mechanisms by which PRF promotes alveolar bone regeneration from three aspects: osteogenesis mechanism, bone induction mechanism, and bone conduction mechanism, involving multiple signaling pathways such as Smad, ERK1/2, PI3K/Akt, and Wnt/β-catenin. We also explore the various roles of PRF as a scaffold, filler, and in combination with bone graft materials, detailing how PRF promotes alveolar bone regeneration and provides a wealth of experimental evidence. Finally, we summarize the current applications of PRF in various oral fields. The role of PRF in alveolar bone regeneration is becoming increasingly important, and its role and mechanism are receiving more and more research and understanding. This article will provide a reference of significant value for research in related fields. The exploration of the role and mechanism of PRF in alveolar bone regeneration may lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets and the development of more effective and efficient treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypoxic environment during bone healing is important in regulating the differentiation of periosteal stem cells (PSCs) into osteoblasts or chondrocytes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. AIM To determine the effect of hypoxia on PSCs, and the expression of microRNA-584-5p (miR-584-5p) and RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in PSCs was modulated to explore the impact of the miR-584-5p/RUNX2 axis on hypoxia-induced osteogenic differentiation of PSCs. METHODS In this study, we isolated primary mouse PSCs and stimulated them with hypoxia, and the characteristics and functional genes related to PSC osteogenic differentiation were assessed. Constructs expressing miR-584-5p and RUNX2 were established to determine PSC osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS Hypoxic stimulation induced PSC osteogenic differentiation and significantly increased calcified nodules, intracellular calcium ion levels, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in PSCs. Osteogenic differentiation-related factors such as RUNX2, bone morphogenetic protein 2, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, and ALP were upregulated; in contrast, miR-584-5p was downregulated in these cells. Furthermore, upregulation of miR-584-5p significantly inhibited RUNX2 expression and hypoxia-induced PSC osteogenic differentiation. RUNX2 was the target gene of miR-584-5p, antagonizing miR-584-5p inhibition in hypoxia-induced PSC osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSION Our study showed that the interaction of miR-584-5p and RUNX2 could mediate PSC osteogenic differentiation induced by hypoxia.

Mol Biotechnol 2023; 65:1653-1663.

Abstract
Osteoblast regeneration, characterized by osteoblast differentiation, is the basis of fracture healing and accelerates fracture repair. It has been reported that hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1) is overexpressed during osteoblast differentiation and regulates cartilage regeneration, but its function in fracture healing remains unclear. To elucidate this issue, we collected clinical blood samples of fracture healing, established a femoral fracture rat model, and induced an osteoblast differentiation cell model. We found that HAPLN1 was overexpressed in the serum of patients with fracture healing and the bone tissues of rats with fracture healing. Furthermore, the expression of HAPLN1 was increased time dependently during the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. HAPLN1 silencing prevented osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 cells as evidenced by decreased osteoblast differentiation-related factors, suppressed alkaline phosphatase activities, and reduced alizarin red positive staining. Mechanically, the bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4)/Smad1/5/8 pathway, a facilitator of osteoblastic differentiation, was found to be inhibited by HAPLN1 knockdown, and inhibition of BMP4/Smad1/5/8 signaling enhanced the effects caused by HAPLN1 silencing. These findings demonstrated that HAPLN1 might promote fracture healing by facilitating osteogenic differentiation through the BMP4/Smad1/5/8 pathway, indicating that targeting HAPLN1 may be a feasible therapeutic candidate for fracture repair.

Abstract
The periosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue covering bone. It is an essential component for bone development and fracture healing. There has been considerable research exploring the application of the periosteum in bone regeneration since the 19th century. An increasing number of studies are focusing on periosteal progenitor cells found within the periosteum and the use of hydrogels as scaffold materials for periosteum engineering and guided bone development. Here, we provide an overview of the research investigating the use of the periosteum for bone repair, with consideration given to the anatomy and function of the periosteum, the importance of the cambium layer, the culture of periosteal progenitor cells, periosteum-induced ossification, periosteal perfusion, periosteum engineering, scaffold vascularization, and hydrogel-based synthetic periostea.

Abstract
The periosteum is a thin tissue surrounding each skeletal element that contains stem and progenitor cells involved in bone development, postnatal appositional bone growth, load-induced bone formation, and fracture repair. BMP and TGFβ signaling are important for periosteal activity and periosteal cell behavior, but thorough examination of the influence of these pathways on specific cell populations resident in the periosteum is lacking due to limitations associated with primary periosteal cell isolations and in vitro experiments. Here we describe the generation of a novel periosteum-derived clonal cell (PDC) line from postnatal day 14 mice and use it to examine periosteal cell behavior in vitro. PDCs exhibit key characteristics of periosteal cells observed during skeletal development, maintenance, and bone repair. Specifically, PDCs express established periosteal markers, can be expanded in culture, demonstrate the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and adipocytes, and exhibit an osteogenic response to physical stimulation. PDCs also engage in BMP and/or TGFβ signaling when treated with the activating ligands BMP2 and TGFβ-1, and in response to mechanical stimulation via fluid shear. We believe that this PDC line will be useful for large-scale, long-term experiments that were not feasible when using primary periosteal cells. Anticipated future uses include advancing our understanding of the signaling interactions that occur during appositional bone growth and fracture repair and developing drug screening platforms to discover novel growth and fracture healing factors.

Abstract
Background The periosteum stem cells (PSCs) plays a critical role in bone regeneration and defect reconstruction. Insertion of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement can form an induced membrane(IM) and showed promising strategy for bone defect reconstruction, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our study sought to determine whether IM-derived cells(IMDCs) versus PSCs have similar characteristics in bone regeneration. Methods IM and periosteum were harvested from ten bone defect patients treated with PMMA, the IMDCs and PSCs were isolated respectively. Morphological, functional and molecular evaluation was performed and matched for comparison. Results Both progenitor-like IMDCs and PSCs were successfully isolated. In vitro, we found IMDCs were similar to PSCs in morphology, colony forming capacity and expression of surface marker(CD90+, CD73+, CD105+, CD34-/CD45-). Meanwhile, these IMSCs displayed multipotency with chondrogenic, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, but differed in some IMSCs(3/10) population showing relatively poor osteogenic differentiation. The molecular profiles suggests that cell cycle and DNA replication signaling pathways were associated with these varying osteogenic potential. In vivo, we established a cell-based tissue-engineered bone by seeding IMDSs/PSCs to demineralized bone matrix (DBM) scaffold and demonstrated both IMDSs and PSCs enhanced bone regeneration in SCID mice bone defect model compared with DBM alone. Conclusion Our data demonstrated IM containing multipotent progenitor cells similar to that periosteum promoting bone regeneration, and indicated the existence of multiple subsets in osteogenic differentiation. Overall, the study provided a cellular and molecular insights in understanding the successful or failed outcome of bone defect healing.The translational potential of this article: This study confirmed IMDCs and PSCs share similar regeneration capacity and inform a translation potential of that cellular therapy applying IMDCs in bone defect repair.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two major health care problems worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that DM poses a risk for osteoporosis and can contribute to the development of diabetes-induced osteoporosis (DOP). Interestingly, some epidemiological studies suggest that DOP may be at least partially distinct from those skeletal abnormalities associated with old age or postmenopausal osteoporosis. The increasing number of DM patients who also have DOP calls for a discussion of the pathogenesis of DOP and the investigation of drugs to treat DOP. Recently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have received more attention due to their significant role in cellular functions and bone formation. It is worth noting that ncRNAs have also been demonstrated to participate in the progression of DOP. Meanwhile, nano-delivery systems are considered a promising strategy to treat DOP because of their cellular targeting, sustained release, and controlled release characteristics. Additionally, the utilization of novel technologies such as the CRISPR system has expanded the scope of available options for treating DOP. Hence, this paper explores the functions and regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs in DOP and highlights the advantages of employing nanoparticle-based drug delivery techniques to treat DOP. Finally, this paper also explores the potential of ncRNAs as diagnostic DOP biomarkers.

Tissue Eng Regen Med 2023; 20:705-723. [PMID: 37010733 PMCID: PMC10352185 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-023-00526-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) promotes the osteogenic differentiation induced by bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9), but the intrinsic relationship between BMP9 and ATRA keeps unknown. Herein, we investigated the effect of Cyp26b1, a critical enzyme of ATRA degradation, on the BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and unveiled possible mechanism through which BMP9 regulates the expression of Cyp26b1. METHODS ATRA content was detected with ELISA and HPLC-MS/MS. PCR, Western blot, and histochemical staining were used to assay the osteogenic markers. Fetal limbs culture, cranial defect repair model, and micro-computed tomographic were used to evaluate the quality of bone formation. IP and ChIP assay were used to explore possible mechanism. RESULTS We found that the protein level of Cyp26b1 was increased with age, whereas the ATRA content decreased. The osteogenic markers induced by BMP9 were increased by inhibiting or silencing Cyp26b1 but reduced by exogenous Cyp26b1. The BMP9-induced bone formation was enhanced by inhibiting Cyp26b1. The cranial defect repair was promoted by BMP9, which was strengthened by silencing Cyp26b1 and reduced by exogenous Cyp26b1. Mechanically, Cyp26b1 was reduced by BMP9, which was enhanced by activating Wnt/β-catenin, and reduced by inhibiting this pathway. β-catenin interacts with Smad1/5/9, and both were recruited at the promoter of Cyp26b1. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested the BMP9-induced osteoblastic differentiation was mediated by activating retinoic acid signalling, viadown-regulating Cyp26b1. Meanwhile, Cyp26b1 may be a novel potential therapeutic target for the treatment of bone-related diseases or accelerating bone-tissue engineering.

Abstract
As a thin fibrous layer covering the bone surface, the periosteum plays a significant role in bone physiology during growth, development and remodeling. Over the past several decades, the periosteum has received considerable scientific attention as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) have emerged as a promising strategy for tissue engineering due to their chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacities. Starting from the history of PDCs, the present review provides an overview of their characterization and the procedures used for their isolation. This study also summarizes the chondrogenic, osteogenic, and adipogenic abilities of PDCs, serving as a reference about their potential therapeutic applications in various clinical scenarios, with particular emphasis on the comparison with other common sources of MSCs. As techniques continue to develop, a comprehensive analysis of the characterization and regulation of PDCs can be conducted, further demonstrating their role in tissue engineering. PDCs present promising potentials in terms of their osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic capacities. Further studies should focus on exploring their utility under multiple clinical scenarios to confirm their comparative benefit over other commonly used sources of MSCs.

Abstract
Despite the advances in bone fracture treatment, a significant fraction of fracture patients will develop non-union. Most non-unions are treated with surgery since identifying the molecular causes of these defects is exceptionally challenging. In this study, compared with marrow bone, we generated a transcriptional atlas of human osteoprogenitor cells derived from healing callus and non-union fractures. Detailed comparison among the three conditions revealed a substantial similarity of callus and nonunion at the gene expression level. Nevertheless, when assayed functionally, they showed different osteogenic potential. Utilizing longitudinal transcriptional profiling of the osteoprogenitor cells, we identified FOS as a putative master regulator of non-union fractures. We validated FOS activity by profiling a validation cohort of 31 tissue samples. Our work identified new molecular targets for non-union classification and treatment while providing a valuable resource to better understand human bone healing biology.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a hyperadrenergic state and paradoxically causes systemic bone loss while accelerating fracture healing. Here, we identify the beta2-adrenergic receptor (Adrb2) as a central mediator of these skeletal manifestations. While the negative effects of TBI on the unfractured skeleton can be explained by the established impact of Adrb2 signaling on bone formation, Adrb2 promotes neovascularization of the fracture callus under conditions of high sympathetic tone, including TBI and advanced age. Mechanistically, norepinephrine stimulates the expression of Vegfa and Cgrp primarily in periosteal cells via Adrb2, both of which synergistically promote the formation of osteogenic type-H vessels in the fracture callus. Accordingly, the beneficial effect of TBI on bone repair is abolished in mice lacking Adrb2 or Cgrp, and aged Adrb2-deficient mice without TBI develop fracture nonunions despite high bone formation in uninjured bone. Pharmacologically, the Adrb2 antagonist propranolol impairs, and the agonist formoterol promotes fracture healing in aged mice by regulating callus neovascularization. Clinically, intravenous beta-adrenergic sympathomimetics are associated with improved callus formation in trauma patients with long bone fractures. Thus, Adrb2 is a novel target for promoting bone healing, and widely used beta-blockers may cause fracture nonunion under conditions of increased sympathetic tone. Abstract Figure

Abstract
Mineralized tissues, such as teeth and bones, pose significant challenges for repair due to their hardness, low permeability, and limited blood flow compared to soft tissues. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been identified as playing a crucial role in mineralized tissue formation and repair. However, the application of large amounts of exogenous BMPs may cause side effects such as inflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to identify a more precise molecular target downstream of the ligands. Activin receptor-like kinase 3 (ALK3), a key transmembrane receptor, serves as a vital gateway for the transmission of BMP signals, triggering cellular responses. Recent research has yielded new insights into the regulatory roles of ALK3 in mineralized tissues. Experimental knockout or mutation of ALK3 has been shown to result in skeletal dysmorphisms and failure of tooth formation, eruption, and orthodontic tooth movement. This review summarizes the roles of ALK3 in mineralized tissue regulation and elucidates how ALK3-mediated signaling influences the physiology and pathology of teeth and bones. Additionally, this review provides a reference for recommended basic research and potential future treatment strategies for the repair and regeneration of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
Periosteum is a highly vascularized membrane lining the surface of bones. It plays essential roles in bone repair following injury and reconstruction following invasive surgeries. To broaden the use of periosteum, including for augmenting in vitro bone engineering and/or in vivo bone repair, we have developed an ex vivo perfusion bioreactor system to maintain the cellular viability and metabolism of surgically resected periosteal flaps. Each specimen was placed in a 3D printed bioreactor connected to a peristaltic pump designed for the optimal flow rates of tissue perfusate. Nutrients and oxygen were perfused via the periosteal arteries to mimic physiological conditions. Biochemical assays and histological staining indicate component cell viability after perfusion for almost 4 weeks. Our work provides the proof-of-concept of ex vivo periosteum perfusion for long-term tissue preservation, paving the way for innovative bone engineering approaches that use autotransplanted periosteum to enhance in vivo bone repair.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in biomedical research, osteochondral defects resulting from injury, an autoimmune condition, cancer, or other pathological conditions still represent a significant medical problem. Even though there are several conservative and surgical treatment approaches, in many cases, they do not bring the expected results and further permanent damage to the cartilage and bones occurs. Recently, cell-based therapies and tissue engineering have gradually become promising alternatives. They combine the use of different types of cells and biomaterials to induce regeneration processes or replace damaged osteochondral tissue. One of the main challenges of this approach before clinical translation is the large-scale in vitro expansion of cells without changing their biological properties, while the use of conditioned media which contains various bioactive molecules appears to be very important. The presented manuscript provides a review of the experiments focused on osteochondral regeneration by using conditioned media. In particular, the effect on angiogenesis, tissue healing, paracrine signaling, and enhancing the properties of advanced materials are pointed out.

Abstract
Periosteum is a connective tissue that envelopes the outer surface of bones and is tightly bound to the underlying bone by Sharpey’s fibers. It is composed of two layers, the outer fibrous layer and the inner cambium layer. The periosteum is densely vascularised and contains an osteoprogenitor niche that serves as a repository for bone-forming cells, which makes it an essential bone-regenerating tissue and has immensely contributed to fracture healing. Due to the high vascularity of inner cambium layer of the periosteum, periosteal transplantation has been widely used in the management of bone defects and fracture by orthopedic surgeons. Nevertheless, the use of periosteal graft in the management of bone defect is limited due to its contracted nature after being harvested. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about the structure of periosteum, and how periosteal transplantation have been used in clinical practices, with special reference on its expansion.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue composed of cells, an extracellular matrix, and mineralized portion. Osteoblasts are responsible for proper bone formation and remodeling, and function. These processes are endergonic and require cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is derived from various sources such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. However, other lipids such as cholesterol have also been found to play a critical role in bone homeostasis and can also contribute to the overall bioenergetic capacity of osteoblasts. In addition, several epidemiological studies have found a link between elevated cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, an enhanced risk of osteoporosis, and increased bone metastasis in cancer patients. This review focuses on how cholesterol, its derivatives, and cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) regulate osteoblast function and bone formation. It also highlights the molecular mechanisms underlying the cholesterol-osteoblast crosstalk.

Abstract
Cell cycle regulators act as inhibitors or activators to prevent cancerogenesis. It has also been established that they can play an active role in differentiation, apoptosis, senescence, and other cell processes. Emerging evidence has demonstrated a role for cell cycle regulators in bone healing/development cascade. We demonstrated that deletion of p21, a cell cycle regulator acting at the G1/S transition enhanced bone repair capacity after a burr-hole injury in the proximal tibia of mice. Similarly, another study has shown that inhibition of p27 can increase bone mineral density and bone formation. Here, we provide a concise review of cell cycle regulators that influence cells like osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and chondrocytes, during development and/or healing of bone. It is imperative to understand the regulatory processes that govern cell cycle during bone healing and development as this will pave the way to develop novel therapies to improve bone healing after injury in instances of aged or osteoporotic fractures.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:86. [PMID: 36737821 PMCID: PMC9898002 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03545-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic fracture (OPF) is one of the most common skeletal diseases in an aging society. The Chinese medicine formula Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (BZYQD) is commonly used for treating OPF. However, the essential bioactive compounds and the underlying molecular mechanisms that promote fracture repair remain unclear. METHODS We used network pharmacology and experimental animal validation to address this issue. First, 147 bioactive BZYQD compounds and 32 target genes for treating OPF were screened and assessed. A BZYQD-bioactive compound-target gene-disease network was constructed using the Cytoscape software. Functional enrichment showed that the candidate target genes were enriched in oxidative stress- and inflammation-related biological processes and multiple pathways, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. Furthermore, an OPF rat model was established and treated with BZYQD. RESULTS The results revealed that BZYQD ameliorated OPF characteristics, including femoral microarchitecture, biomechanical properties, and histopathological changes, in a dose-dependent manner. Results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that BZYQD reduced the serum's pro-inflammatory cytokines [Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6] and improved oxidative stress-related factors [glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)]. BZYQD significantly decreased the protein expression of NF-κB in OPF rat femurs, suppressed NF-κB activation, and activated the nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and p38 MAPK as well ERK pathways. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that BZYQD could improve inflammation and oxidative stress during fracture repair by suppressing NF-κB and activating Nrf2/MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Bones are important for maintaining motor function and providing support for internal organs. Bone diseases can impose a heavy burden on individuals and society. Although bone has a certain ability to repair itself, it is often difficult to repair itself alone when faced with critical-sized defects, such as severe trauma, surgery, or tumors. There is still a heavy reliance on metal implants and autologous or allogeneic bone grafts for bone defects that are difficult to self-heal. However, these grafts still have problems that are difficult to circumvent, such as metal implants that may require secondary surgical removal, lack of bone graft donors, and immune rejection. The rapid advance in tissue engineering and a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms of bone regeneration have led to a new focus on promoting endogenous bone self-regeneration through the use of biomaterials as the medium. Although bone regeneration involves a variety of cells and signaling factors, and these complex signaling pathways and mechanisms of interaction have not been fully understood, macrophages undoubtedly play an essential role in bone regeneration. This review summarizes the design strategies that need to be considered for biomaterials to regulate macrophage function in bone regeneration. Subsequently, this review provides an overview of therapeutic strategies for biomaterials to intervene in all stages of bone regeneration by regulating macrophages.

Abstract
The effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the osteogenic differentiation of primary chicken mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were investigated. MSCs were subjected to an osteogenic program and exposed to various concentrations of H2O2 for 14 days. Results showed that high concentrations of H2O2 (200 and 400 nM) significantly increased pro-apoptotic marker CASP8 expression and impaired osteogenic differentiation, as indicated by decreased mRNA expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes and reduced in vitro mineralization. In contrast, long-term H2O2 exposure promoted basal expression of adipogenic markers at the expense of osteogenesis in MSCs during osteogenic differentiation, and increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, as well as altered antioxidant enzyme gene expression. These findings suggest that long-term H2O2-induced ROS production impairs osteogenic differentiation in chicken MSCs under an osteogenic program.

Abstract
Periosteum is expected for bone repairing due to excellent regenerative potential. PDCs are the main source of cells for promoting bone repair. However, PDCs from different sites have been confirmed to be site specific due to their distinct embryonic origin and the methods of bone formation. Hippo-YAP pathway is proved to play a critical role in fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells. The effect of Hippo-YAP on PDCs has not been reported so far. Hence, we aim to explore the differences of PDCs from mandible and femur along with their possible responses to YAP signaling. mPDCs and fPDCs were obtained and tested through flow cytometry for identification. Follow-up results illustrated mPDCs was cubic shape and with better proliferation while fPDCs preferred slender cell shape with worse cell viability compared with mPDCs. mPDCs was superior to fPDCs in ALP activity, related mRNA expression and calcium deposits in late stage. Interestingly, downregulation of YAP promoted the ALP activity, related mRNA expression and calcium deposits of fPDCs while hindered that of mPDCs in vitro. Moreover, implant animal model in mandible and femur were constructed for evaluation in vivo. Histological results were similar to the results in vitro. We speculate this may result from their different embryonic origin and the way of bone formation. Taken together, results available suggested that mPDCs may serve as more optimal seed cells for tissue engineering compared with fPDCs; however, considering their different response to YAP signaling, to ensure sufficient YAP expression in mPDCs and appropriate declining YAP expression in fPDCs may establish better osteogenesis.

Abstract
Background Osteogenesis and angiogenesis are important for bone fracture healing. Irisin is a muscle-derived monokine that is associated with bone formation. Methods To demonstrate the effect of irisin on bone fracture healing, closed mid-diaphyseal femur fractures were produced in 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice. Irisin was administrated intraperitoneally every other day after surgery, fracture healing was assessed by using X-rays. Bone morphometry of the fracture callus were assessed by using micro-computed tomography. Femurs of mice from each group were assessed by the three-point bending testing. Effect of irisin on osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells in vitro was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining. Angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were evaluated by qRT-PCR, migration tests, and tube formation assays. Results Increased callus formation, mineralization and tougher fracture healing were observed in the irisin-treated group than in the control group, indicating the better fracture callus healing due to Irisin treatment. The vessel surface and vessel volume fraction of the callus also increased in the irisin-treated group. The expression of BMP2, CD31, and VEGF in callus were enhanced in the irisin-treated group. In mouse bone mesenchymal stem cells, irisin promoted ALP expression and mineralization, and increased the expression of osteogenic genes, including OSX, Runx2, OPG, ALP, OCN and BMP2. Irisin also promoted HUVEC migration and tube formation. Expression of angiogenic genes, including ANGPT1, ANGPT2, VEGFb, CD31, FGF2, and PDGFRB in HUVECs were increased by irisin. Conclusion All the results indicate irisin can promote fracture healing through osteogenesis and angiogenesis. These findings help in the understanding of muscle–bone interactions during fracture healing. The Translational Potential of this Article Irisin was one of the most important monokine secreted by skeletal muscle. Studies have found that irisin have anabolic effect one bone remodeling through affecting osteocyte and osteoblast. Based on our study, irisin could promote bone fracture healing by increasing bone mass and vascularization, which provide a potential usage of irisin to promote fracture healing and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids (GCs) overuse is associated with decreased bone mass and osseous vasculature destruction, leading to severe osteoporosis. Platelet lysates (PL) as a pool of growth factors (GFs) were widely used in local bone repair by its potent pro-regeneration and pro-angiogenesis. However, it is still seldom applied for treating systemic osteopathia due to the lack of a suitable delivery strategy. The non-targeted distribution of GFs might cause tumorigenesis in other organs. RESULTS In this study, PL-derived exosomes (PL-exo) were isolated to enrich the platelet-derived GFs, followed by conjugating with alendronate (ALN) grafted PEGylated phospholipid (DSPE-PEG-ALN) to establish a bone-targeting PL-exo (PL-exo-ALN). The in vitro hydroxyapatite binding affinity and in vivo bone targeting aggregation of PL-exo were significantly enhanced after ALN modification. Besides directly modulating the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), respectively, PL-exo-ALN also facilitate their coupling under GCs' stimulation. Additionally, intravenous injection of PL-exo-ALN could successfully rescue GCs induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in vivo. CONCLUSIONS PL-exo-ALN may be utilized as a novel nanoplatform for precise infusion of GFs to bone sites and exerts promising therapeutic potential for GIOP.

Abstract
Electrical signals represent an essential form of cellular communication. For decades, electrical stimulation has been used effectively in clinical practice to enhance bone healing. However, the detailed mechanisms between electrical stimulation and bone healing are not well understood. In addition, there have been many difficulties in setting up a stable and efficient electrical stimulation system within the in vitro environment. Therefore, various conductive materials and electrical stimulation methods have been tested to establish an effective electrical stimulation system. Through these systems, many studies have been conducted on the effects of electrical stimulation on bone healing and osteogenic differentiation. However, previous studies were limited by the use of opaque conductive materials that obscure the cells; fluorescent observations and staining are known to be two of the critical methods to confirm the states of the cells. Indium tin oxide (ITO) glass is known to have excellent transparency and conductivity, but it is challenging to cultivate cells due to low cell adhesion characteristics. Therefore, we used O2 plasma treatment to increase the hydrophilicity and wettability of ITO glass. This enhanced cell affinity to the glass, providing a stable surface for the cells to attach. Then, electrical stimulation was applied with an amplitude range of 10 to 200 µA at a frequency of 10 Hz. Our results demonstrated that the osteogenic differentiation efficiency was maximized under the amplitude conditions of 10 µA and 50 µA. Accordingly, the results of our study suggest the development of an excellent platform in the field of biological research as a good tool to elucidate various mechanisms of cell bioactivity under electrical conditions.

Abstract
Background Stable fixation is crucial in fracture treatment. Currently, optimal fracture fixation devices with osteoinductivity, mechanical compatibility, and corrosion resistance are urgently needed for clinical practice. Niobium (Nb), whose mechanical properties are similar to those of bone tissue, has excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, so it has the potential to be the most appropriate fixation material for internal fracture treatment. However, not much attention has been paid to the use of Nb in the area of clinical implants. Yet its role and mechanism of promoting fracture healing remain unclear. Hence, this study aims at elucidating on the effectiveness of Nb by systematically evaluating its osteogenic performance via in vivo and ex vivo tests. Methods Systematic in vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the osteogenic properties of Nb. In vitro experiments, the biocompatibility and osteopromoting activity of Nb were assessed. And the osteoinductive activity of Nb was assessed by alizarin red, ALP staining and PCR test. In vivo experiments, the effectiveness and biosafety of Nb in promoting fracture healing were evaluated using a rat femoral fracture model. Through the analysis of gene sequencing results of bone scab tissues, the upregulation of PI3K-Akt pathway expression was detected and it was verified by histochemical staining and WB experiments. Results Experiments in this study had proved that Nb had excellent in-vitro cell adhesion and proliferation-promoting effects without cytotoxicity. In addition, ALP activity, alizarin red staining and semi-quantitative analysis in the Nb group had indicated its profound impact on enhancing osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. We also found that the use of Nb implants can accelerate fracture healing compared to that with Ti6Al4V using an animal model of femur fracture in rats, and the biosafety of Nb was confirmed in vivo via histological evaluation. Furthermore, we found that the osteogenic effects of Nb were achieved through activation of the PIK/Akt3 signalling pathway. Conclusion As is shown in the present research, Nb possessed excellent biosafety in clinical implants and accelerated fracture healing by activating the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, which had good prospects for clinical translation, and it can replace titanium alloy as a material for new functional implants.

Dexamethasone and Doxycycline Doped Nanoparticles Increase the Differentiation Potential of Human Bone Marrow Stem Cells. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091865. [PMID: 36145613 PMCID: PMC9505251 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Non-resorbable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are proposed as an adjunctive treatment for bone regenerative strategies. The present in vitro investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of the different prototypes of bioactive NPs loaded with zinc (Zn-NPs), doxycycline (Dox-NPs) or dexamethasone (Dex-NPs) on the viability, morphology, migration, adhesion, osteoblastic differentiation, and mineralization potential of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMMSCs). Cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation were assessed using a resaruzin-based assay, cell cycle analysis, cell migration evaluation, cell cytoskeleton staining analysis, Alizarin Red S staining, and expression of the osteogenic-related genes by a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). One-Way ANOVA and Tukey’s test were employed. The resazurin assay showed adequate cell viability considering all concentrations and types of NPs at 24, 48, and 72 h of culture. The cell cycle analysis revealed a regular cell cycle profile at 0.1, 1, and 10 µg/mL, whereas 100 µg/mL produced an arrest of cells in the S phase. Cells cultured with 0.1 and 1 µg/mL NP concentrations showed a similar migration capacity to the untreated group. After 21 days, mineralization was increased by all the NPs prototypes. Dox-NPs and Dex-NPs produced a generalized up-regulation of the osteogenic-related genes. Dex-NPs and Dox-NPs exhibited excellent osteogenic potential and promoted hBMMSC differentiation. Future investigations, both in vitro and in vivo, are required to confirm the suitability of these NPs for their clinical application.

Abstract
The field of tissue engineering aspires to provide clinically relevant solutions for patients through the integration of developmental engineering principles with a bottom-up manufacturing approach. However, the manufacturing of cell-based advanced therapy medicinal products is hampered by protocol complexity, lack of non-invasive critical quality controls, and dependency on animal-derived components for tissue differentiation. We investigate a serum-free, chemically defined, xeno- and lipid-free chondrogenic differentiation medium to generate bone-forming callus organoids. Our results show an increase in microtissue homogeneity during prolonged differentiation and the high quality of in vivo bone-forming organoids. The low protein content of the culture medium potentially allows for the monitoring of relevant secreted biomarkers as (critical) quality attributes. Together, we envisage that this xeno- and lipid-free chondrogenic medium is compatible with industrial scale-up and automation while facilitating the implementation of non-invasive imaging and the use of quality control parameters based on secreted biomarkers.

Abstract
Increasing bone resorption followed by decreasing bone mineralization are hallmarks of bone degeneration, which mostly occurs in the elderly population and post-menopausal women. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has raised many promises in the field of bone regeneration due to their high osteoblastic differentiation capacity and easy availability from abundant sources. A variety of compounds, including growth factors, cytokines, and other internal factors, have been combined with MSCs to increase their osteoblastic differentiation capacity. One of these factors is melatonin, whose possible regulatory role in bone metabolism and formation has recently been suggested by many studies. Melatonin also is a potential signaling molecule and can affect many of the signaling pathways involved in MSCs osteoblastic differentiation, such as activation of PI3K/AKT, BMP/Smad, MAPK, NFkB, Nrf2/HO-1, Wnt, SIRT/SOD, PERK/ATF4. Furthermore, melatonin in combination with other components such as strontium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 has a synergistic effect on bone microstructure and improves bone mineral density (BMD). In this review article, we aim to summarize the regulatory mechanisms of melatonin in osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs and underling involved signaling pathways as well as the clinical potential of using melatonin in bone degenerative disorders.

Abstract
Micro/nano-topography (MNT) is an important factor affecting cell response. Earlier studies using titania (TiO2) nanotube as a model of MNT found that they mediated the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. Surprisingly, Periostin (Postn), a secreted protein involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) construction and promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), was previously observed to significantly up-regulated on TiO2 nanotube. We proposed that Postn may act as a MNT signal transduction role. In this study, we investigated the effect of MNT on Postn, and the influence of Postn on osteogenic differentiation-related genes through focal adhesion and downstream signals. It was found that, titanium (Ti) plates carrying TiO2 nanotubes with diameters of ∼100 nm (TNT-100) significantly up-regulated the expression of Postn compared with flat Ti. Furthermore, Postn activated the downstream focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signal pathway and β-catenin into the nucleus by interacting with integrin αV. Surprisingly, TNT-100 up-regulated the transcription level of Wnt3a, which was independent of the up-regulation of Postn. This new Postn signaling pathway may provide more insights into the signal transduction mechanism of MNT and development of biomaterials with improved osteogenic properties.

Abstract
Porous tantalum-based biomaterial is a novel tissue engineering material widely used in repairing bone defects due to its corrosion resistance, low elastic modulus, high friction coefficient, and excellent biocompatibility. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), a type of pluripotent stem cell, can travel from their original ecological niche to bone injury sites, where they differentiate into osteoblasts and osteocytes. Multiple factors regulate the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of BMSCs. In recent years, the regulatory effects of porous tantalum on BMSCs have been widely studied. Hence, in this study, we reviewed the characteristics of porous tantalum-based biomaterials and the mechanism of action of their regulatory effects on BMSCs. Further, we discuss the feasibility of seeding BMSCs in porous tantalum-based biomaterials for use in tissue repair.

Abstract
More than 20 million individuals worldwide suffer from congenital or acquired bone defects annually. The development of bone scaffold materials that simulate natural bone for bone defect repair remains challenging. Recently, ncRNA-based therapies for bone defects have attracted increasing interest because of the great potential of ncRNAs in disease treatment. Various types of ncRNAs regulate gene expression in osteogenesis-related cells via multiple mechanisms. The delivery of ncRNAs to the site of bone loss through gene vectors or scaffolds is a potential therapeutic option for bone defect repair. Therefore, this study discusses and summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs, siRNAs, and piRNAs in osteogenic signaling and reviews the widely used current RNA delivery vectors and scaffolds for bone defect repair. Additionally, current challenges and potential solutions of delivery scaffolds for bone defect repair are proposed, with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for their future clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The existence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in Schneiderian membrane has not been determined. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are MSCs in Schneiderian membrane, and the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on osteogenic differentiation of these cells and on new bone formation in maxillary sinus after maxillary sinus floor elevation. METHODS Schneiderian membrane derived mesenchymal stem cells (SM-MSCs) were isolated from rabbit maxillary sinus. Cells were identified by flow cytometry and multipotential differentiation. Real-time cell analysis assay, fluorescence staining, transwell assay, and wound healing assay were used to determine the effects of PRF stimulation on cell proliferation and migration. The osteogenic differentiation ability of cells stimulated by PRF or osteoinductive medium was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red staining, PCR and Western blot. Equivalent volume Bio-oss and the mixture of Bio-oss and PRF were used as bone graft materials for maxillary sinus floor elevation. Micro-CT, bone double-staining, HE staining, Masson staining, and toluidine blue staining were used to evaluate the osteogenic effect in 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. RESULTS The cell surface markers were positive for expression of CD90, CD105, and negative for expression of CD34, CD45. SM-MSCs had the ability of osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. PRF could stimulate proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of SM-MSCs, which was achieved by up-regulating ERK 1/2 signaling pathway. PRF could accelerate the formation of new bone in maxillary sinus and increase the amount of new bone formation. CONCLUSIONS MSCs existed in Schneiderian membrane, and PRF stimulation could promote cell proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation. The application of PRF in maxillary sinus floor elevation could accelerate bone healing and increase the quantity and quality of new bone. PRF, as autologous graft materials, might offer a promising strategy for the clinical bone formation during MSFE procedure. Video Abstract.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the genetic and immunological mechanisms of the development of fracture consolidation disorders at the present scientific stage.Materials and methods. The search for literary sources was carried out in the open electronic databases of scientific literature PubMed and eLIBRARY. Search depth – 10 years.Results. The review analyzes the literature data on the current state of the study of the molecular genetic mechanisms of reparative regeneration including the development of fracture consolidation disorders. The mechanisms of the most important links of pathogenesis which most often lead to various violations of the processes of bone tissue repair are considered.Conclusion. The process of bone tissue repair is multifaceted, and many factors are involved in its implementation, however, we would like to note that the leading role in the course of reparative regeneration is played by a personalized genetically programmed response to this pathological condition. Nevertheless, despite the undeniable progress of modern medicine in studying the processes of bone recovery after a fracture, there are still many “white” spots in this issue, which dictates the need for further comprehensive study in order to effectively treat patients with impaired consolidation.
