Abstract
The regeneration of bone defects in diabetic patients still faces challenges, as the intrinsic healing process is impaired by hyperglycemia. Inspired by the discovery that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is in a state of excessive stress and dysfunction under hyperglycemia, leading to osteogenic disorder, a novel engineered exosome is proposed to modulate ER homeostasis for restoring the function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The results indicate that the constructed engineered exosomes efficiently regulate ER homeostasis and dramatically facilitate the function of MSCs in the hyperglycemic niche. Additionally, the underlying therapeutic mechanism of exosomes is elucidated. The results reveal that exosomes can directly provide recipient cells with SHP2 for the activation of mitophagy and elimination of mtROS, which is the immediate cause of ER dysfunction. To maximize the therapeutic effect of engineered exosomes, a high-performance hydrogel with self-healing, bioadhesive, and exosome-conjugating properties is applied to encapsulate the engineered exosomes for in vivo application. In vivo, evaluation in diabetic bone defect repair models demonstrates that the engineered exosomes delivering hydrogel system intensively enhance osteogenesis. These findings provide crucial insight into the design and biological mechanism of ER homeostasis-based tissue-engineering strategies for diabetic bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare heritable connective tissue disorder of skeletal fragility with an incidence of roughly 1:15,000. Approximately 85% of the pathogenic variants responsible for OI are in the type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, with the remaining pathogenic OI variants spanning at least 20 additional genetic loci that often involve type I collagen post-translational modification, folding, and intracellular transport as well as matrix incorporation and mineralization. In addition to being the most abundant collagen in the body, type I collagen is an important structural and extracellular matrix signaling molecule in multiple organ systems and tissues. Thus, OI disease-causing variants result not only in skeletal fragility, decreased bone mineral density (BMD), kyphoscoliosis, and short stature, but can also result in hearing loss, dentinogenesis imperfecta, blue gray sclera, cardiopulmonary abnormalities, and muscle weakness. The extensive genetic and clinical heterogeneity in OI has necessitated the generation of multiple mouse models, the growing awareness of non-skeletal organ and tissue involvement, and OI being more broadly recognized as a type I collagenopathy.This has driven the investigation of mutation-specific skeletal and extra-skeletal manifestations and broadened the search of potential mechanistic therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this review is to outline several of the extra-skeletal manifestations that have recently been characterized through the use of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous mouse models of osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating the significant potential impact of OI disease-causing variants as a collagenopathy (affecting multiple organ systems and tissues), and its implications to overall health.

RNA-based bone histomorphometry: method and its application to explaining postpubertal bone gain in a G610C mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta. J Bone Miner Res 2024; 39:177-189. [PMID: 38477760 DOI: 10.1093/jbmr/zjad004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Bone histomorphometry is a well-established approach to assessing skeletal pathology, providing a standard evaluation of the cellular components, architecture, mineralization, and growth of bone tissue. However, it depends in part on the subjective interpretation of cellular morphology by an expert, which introduces bias. In addition, diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and fibrous dysplasia are accompanied by changes in the morphology and function of skeletal tissue and cells, hindering consistent evaluation of some morphometric parameters and interpretation of the results. For instance, traditional histomorphometry combined with collagen turnover markers suggested that reduced bone formation in classical OI is accompanied by increased bone resorption. In contrast, the well-documented postpubertal reduction in fractures would be easier to explain by reduced bone resorption after puberty, highlighting the need for less ambiguous measurements. Here we propose an approach to histomorphometry based on in situ mRNA hybridization, which uses Col1a1 as osteoblast and Ctsk as osteoclast markers. This approach can be fully automated and eliminates subjective identification of bone surface cells. We validate these markers based on the expression of Bglap, Ibsp, and Acp5. Comparison with traditional histological and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of the same sections suggests that mRNA-based analysis is more reliable. Unlike inconclusive traditional histomorphometry of mice with α2(I)-Gly610 to Cys substitution in the collagen triple helix, mRNA-based measurements reveal reduced osteoclastogenesis in 11-wk-old animals consistent with the postpubertal catch-up osteogenesis observed by microCT. We optimize the technique for cryosections of mineralized bone and sections of paraffin-embedded decalcified tissue, simplifying and broadening its applications. We illustrate the application of the mRNA-based approach to human samples using the example of a McCune-Albright syndrome patient. By eliminating confounding effects of altered cellular morphology and the need for subjective morphological evaluation, this approach may provide a more reproducible and accessible evaluation of bone pathology.

Abstract
Aging in mammals is accompanied by an imbalance of intestinal homeostasis and accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. However, little is known about how accumulated mtDNA mutations modulate intestinal homeostasis. We observe the accumulation of mtDNA mutations in the small intestine of aged male mice, suggesting an association with physiological intestinal aging. Using polymerase gamma (POLG) mutator mice and wild-type mice, we generate male mice with progressive mtDNA mutation burdens. Investigation utilizing organoid technology and in vivo intestinal stem cell labeling reveals decreased colony formation efficiency of intestinal crypts and LGR5-expressing intestinal stem cells in response to a threshold mtDNA mutation burden. Mechanistically, increased mtDNA mutation burden exacerbates the aging phenotype of the small intestine through ATF5 dependent mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) activation. This aging phenotype is reversed by supplementation with the NAD+ precursor, NMN. Thus, we uncover a NAD+ dependent UPRmt triggered by mtDNA mutations that regulates the intestinal aging.

Abstract
Backgrounds Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by skin infiltration of malignant T cells. The biological overlap between malignant T cells and their normal counterparts has brought obstacles in identifying tumor-specific features and mechanisms, limiting current knowledge of CTCL pathogenesis. Transcriptional dysregulation leading to abnormal gene expression profiles contributes to the initiation, progression and drug resistance of cancer. Therefore, we aimed to identify tumor-specific transcription factor underlying CTCL pathology. Methods We analyzed and validated the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in malignant T cells based on single-cell sequencing data. Clinical relevance was evaluated based on progression-free survival and time to next treatment. To determine the functional importance, lentivirus-mediated gene knockdown was conducted in two CTCL cell lines Myla and H9. Cell survival was assessed by examining cell viability, colony-forming ability, in-vivo tumor growth in xenograft models, apoptosis rate and cell-cycle distribution. RNA sequencing was employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Results Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) was overexpressed in malignant T cells and positively correlated with poor treatment responses in CTCL patients. Mechanistically, ATF5 promoted the survival of malignant T cells partially through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and imparted resistance to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis. Conclusions These findings revealed the tumor-specific overexpression of the transcription factor ATF5 with its underlying mechanisms in promoting tumor survival in CTCL, providing new insight into the understanding of CTCL's pathology.

ATF5 Attenuates Low-magnesium-induced Apoptosis by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Via the Regulation of Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species. Neuroscience 2023; 535:13-22.

Abstract
Mitochondrial stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are known to be closely linked. ATF5 is a key regulator of mitochondrial stress and is involved in ERS regulation. Previously, we used a seizure model to demonstrate that ATF5 regulates mitochondrial stress. However, whether ATF5 affects ERS in epilepsy models has yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the effects of ATF5 on low-magnesium-induced ERS and the potential mechanisms that underlie these effects. We found that lentiviral overexpression of ATF5 significantly improved low-magnesium-induced ERS, as confirmed by the reduced expression levels of GRP78, PERK, ATF4, and CHOP. In addition, ATF5 overexpression reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, thus demonstrating that ATF5 plays a key role in maintaining redox homeostasis. Furthermore, ATF5 overexpression rescued low-magnesium-induced neuronal apoptosis, as evidenced by the reduced expression levels of Cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax, and the restored levels of Bcl2. However, these effects were significantly eliminated by lentiviral transduction with ATF5 interference. In addition, treatment of neurons with the mitochondrial antioxidant mitoquinone attenuated the onset of oxidative stress caused by ATF5 interference, partially restored the effect on ERS, and rescued cells from apoptosis. Collectively, these data show that ATF5 attenuates low-magnesium-induced neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting ERS through preventing the accumulation of mitochondrial ROS.

Absence of TRIC-B from type XIV Osteogenesis Imperfecta osteoblasts alters cell adhesion and mitochondrial function - A multi-omics study. Matrix Biol 2023; 121:127-148.

Abstract
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a heritable collagen-related bone dysplasia characterized by bone fractures, growth deficiency and skeletal deformity. Type XIV OI is a recessive OI form caused by null mutations in TMEM38B, which encodes the ER membrane intracellular cation channel TRIC-B. Previously, we showed that absence of TMEM38B alters calcium flux in the ER of OI patient osteoblasts and fibroblasts, which further disrupts collagen synthesis and secretion. How the absence of TMEM38B affects osteoblast function is still poorly understood. Here we further investigated the role of TMEM38B in human osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. TMEM38B-null osteoblasts showed altered expression of osteoblast marker genes and decreased mineralization. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that cell-cell adhesion was one of the most downregulated pathways in TMEM38B-null osteoblasts, with further validation by real-time PCR and Western blot. Gap and tight junction proteins were also decreased by TRIC-B absence, both in patient osteoblasts and in calvarial osteoblasts of Tmem38b-null mice. Disrupted cell adhesion decreased mutant cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. An important novel finding was that TMEM38B-null osteoblasts had elongated mitochondria with altered fusion and fission markers, MFN2 and DRP1. In addition, TMEM38B-null osteoblasts exhibited a significant increase in superoxide production in mitochondria, further supporting mitochondrial dysfunction. Together these results emphasize the novel role of TMEM38B/TRIC-B in osteoblast differentiation, affecting cell-cell adhesion processes, gap and tight junction, proliferation, cell cycle, and mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility, due to alterations in the type I collagen molecule. It is a very heterogeneous disease, both genetically and phenotypically, with a high variability of clinical phenotypes, ranging from mild to severe forms, the most extreme cases being perinatal lethal. There is no curative treatment for OI, and so great efforts are being made in order to develop effective therapies. In these attempts, the in vivo preclinical studies are of paramount importance; therefore, serious analysis is required to choose the right murine OI model able to emulate as closely as possible the disease of the target OI population. In this review, we summarize the features of OI murine models that have been used for preclinical studies until today, together with recently developed new murine models. The bone parameters that are usually evaluated in order to determine the relevance of new developing therapies are exposed, and finally, current and innovative therapeutic strategies attempts considered in murine OI models, along with their mechanism of action, are reviewed. This review aims to summarize the in vivo studies developed in murine models available in the field of OI to date, in order to help the scientific community choose the most accurate OI murine model when developing new therapeutic strategies capable of improving the quality of life.
