Screening of crosstalk and pyroptosis-related genes linking periodontitis and osteoporosis based on bioinformatics and machine learning. Front Immunol 2022; 13:955441. [PMID: 35990678 PMCID: PMC9389017 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.955441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and objective This study aimed to identify crosstalk genes between periodontitis (PD) and osteoporosis (OP) and potential relationships between crosstalk and pyroptosis-related genes. Methods PD and OP datasets were downloaded from the GEO database and were performed differential expression analysis to obtain DEGs. Overlapping DEGs got crosstalk genes linking PD and OP. Pyroptosis-related genes were obtained from literature reviews. Pearson coefficients were used to calculate crosstalk and pyroptosis-related gene correlations in the PD and OP datasets. Paired genes were obtained from the intersection of correlated genes in PD and OP. PINA and STRING databases were used to conduct the crosstalk-bridge-pyroptosis genes PPI network. The clusters in which crosstalk and pyroptosis-related genes were mainly concentrated were defined as key clusters. The key clusters' hub genes and the included paired genes were identified as key crosstalk-pyroptosis genes. Using ROC curve analysis and XGBoost screened key genes. PPI subnetwork, gene-biological process and gene-pathway networks were constructed based on key genes. In addition, immune infiltration was analyzed on the PD dataset using the CIBERSORT algorithm. Results A total of 69 crosstalk genes were obtained. 13 paired genes and hub genes TNF and EGFR in the key clusters (cluster2, cluster8) were identified as key crosstalk-pyroptosis genes. ROC and XGBoost showed that PRKCB, GSDMD, ARMCX3, and CASP3 were more accurate in predicting disease than other key crosstalk-pyroptosis genes while better classifying properties as a whole. KEGG analysis showed that PRKCB, GSDMD, ARMCX3, and CASP3 were involved in neutrophil extracellular trap formation and MAPK signaling pathway pathways. Immune infiltration results showed that all four key genes positively correlated with plasma cells and negatively correlated with T cells follicular helper, macrophages M2, and DCs. Conclusion This study shows a joint mechanism between PD and OP through crosstalk and pyroptosis-related genes. The key genes PRKCB, GSDMD, ARMCX3, and CASP3 are involved in the neutrophil extracellular trap formation and MAPK signaling pathway, affecting both diseases. These findings may point the way to future research.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and aim of the work
Protein kinase C activation with subsequent increase in oxidative stress (OXS) and reduction in brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are implicated in the pathophysiology of psychotic disorders and in osteoporosis. Accordingly PKC inhibitors such as tamoxifen could be a novel approach to psychotic illness and may reduce progression of osteoporosis. Since current antipsychotics such as risperidone have inconsistent effects on OXS and BDNF, combination with tamoxifen could be beneficial. Accordingly in this work, tamoxifen was used to investigate the impact of changes in OXS and BDNF on behavioral, hippocampus structural changes in a ketamine induced model of psychosis in rats. The impact of tamoxifen on the antipsychotic effects of risperidone and on its bone damaging effects was also determined.
Ketamine was chosen, because it is a valid model of psychosis. Hippocampus was chosen, since hippocampal overactivity is known to correlate with the severity of symptoms in psychosis. Hippocampal overactivity contributes to hyperdopaminergic state in ventral tegmental area and increase in DA release in nucleus accumbens, these are responsible for positive symptoms of schizophrenia and hyperlocomotion in rodents. Hyperlocomotion is considered a corelate of positive symptoms of psychotic illness in rodents and is considered primary outcome to assess manic-like behavior.
Methods
Rats were divided into seven groups (ten rats each (1) non-ketamine control and (2) ketamine treated groups (a ketamine control, b risperidone/ketamine, c tamoxifen/ketamine, d Risp/Tamox/ketamine risperidone, tamoxifen/risperidone) to test if TAM exhibited behavioral changes or potentiated those of risperidone); (e clomiphene/ketamine and f clomiphene/risperidone/ketamine) to verify that estrogen receptor modulators do not exhibit behavioral changes or potentiates those of risperidone. In addition, thus, the effects of tamoxifen are not due to estrogen effects but rather due to protein kinase c inhibition. Drugs were given for 4 weeks and ketamine was given daily in the last week. Effects of drugs on ketamine-induced hyperlocomotion (open field test) and hippocampus and bone biochemical (MDA, GSH, BDNF) and histological changes (Nissel granules, GFAP positive astrocytes in hippocampus were determined).
Electron microscopy scanning of the femur bone was done. Histomorphometric parameters measuring the: 1. Trabecular bone thickness and 2. The trabecular bone volume percentage.
Results
Tamoxifen reduced hyperlocomotion, and improved hippocampus structure in ketamine-treated rats, by reducing OXS (reduced malondialdehyde and increased glutathione) and increasing BDNF. These effects might be related to (PKC) inhibition, rather than estrogen modulation, since the anti-estrogenic drug clomiphene had no effect on hyperlocomotion. Tamoxifen enhanced the beneficial effects of risperidone on hippocampal OXS and BDNF, augmenting its effectiveness on hyperlocomotion and hippocampal structure. It also reduced risperidone-induced OXS and the associated bone damage.
Conclusions
PKC inhibitors, particularly tamoxifen, might be potential adjuncts to antipsychotics, by reducing OXS and increasing BDNF increasing their effectiveness while reducing their bone damaging effects.

Abstract
Whether bone marrow regulates bone metabolism through endocrine and paracrine mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we found that (i) myeloid cell-specific myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) deficiency decreased bone mass and bone strength in young and aged mice; (ii) myeloid cell-specific MYDGF restoration prevented decreases in bone mass and bone strength in MYDGF knockout mice; moreover, myeloid cell-derived MYDGF improved the progress of bone defects healing, prevented ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss and age-related osteoporosis; (iii) MYDGF inhibited osteoclastogenesis and promoted osteoblast differentiation in vivo and in vitro; and (iv) PKCβ-NF-κB and MAPK1/3-STAT3 pathways were involved in the regulation of MYDGF on bone metabolism. Thus, we concluded that myeloid cell-derived MYDGF is a positive regulator of bone homeostasis by inhibiting bone resorption and promoting bone formation. MYDGF may become a potential novel therapeutic drug for osteoporosis, and bone marrow may become a potential therapeutic target for bone metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by a systemic impairment of bone mass and microarchitecture that results in fragility fractures. Severe bone loss due to osteoporosis triggers pathological fractures and consequently decreases the daily life activity and quality of life. Therefore, prevention of osteoporosis has become an important issue to be addressed. We have reported that the fungal secondary metabolite (+)-terrein (TER), a natural compound derived from Aspergillus terreus, has shown receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)–induced osteoclast differentiation by suppressing nuclear factor of activated T-cell 1 (NFATc1) expression, a master regulator of osteoclastogenesis. TER has been shown to possess extensive biological and pharmacological benefits; however, its effects on bone metabolism remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of TER on the femoral bone metabolism using a mouse-ovariectomized osteoporosis model (OVX mice) and then on RANKL signal transduction using mouse bone marrow macrophages (mBMMs). In vivo administration of TER significantly improved bone density, bone mass, and trabecular number in OVX mice (p < 0.01). In addition, TER suppressed TRAP and cathepsin-K expression in the tissue sections of OVX mice (p < 0.01). In an in vitro study, TER suppressed RANKL-induced phosphorylation of PKCα/βII, which is involved in the expression of NFATc1 (p < 0.05). The PKC inhibitor, GF109203X, also inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in mBMMs as well as TER. In addition, TER suppressed the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes, such as Ocstamp, Dcstamp, Calcr, Atp6v0d2, Oscar, and Itgb3 (p < 0.01). These results provide promising evidence for the potential therapeutic application of TER as a novel treatment compound against osteoporosis.

Abstract
Theophylline is a methylxanthine drug used in therapy for respiratory diseases. However, the impact of theophylline on Ca2+ signaling has not been explored in liver cells. This study examined whether theophylline affected Ca2+ homeostasis and its related cytotoxicity in AML12 mouse hepatocytes. Cell viability was measured by the cell viability reagent (WST-1). Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured by the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2. Theophylline (25-125 μM) induced [Ca2+]i rises and cause cytotoxicity in AML12 cells. This cytotoxic response was reversed by chelation of cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA/AM. In Ca2+-free medium, treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin abolished theophylline-induced [Ca2+]i rises. Conversely, treatment with theophylline also abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i rises. However, inhibition of PLC failed to alter theophylline-evoked [Ca2+]i rises. In Ca2+-containing medium, modulators of store-operated Ca2+ channels inhibited 30% of the [Ca2+]i rises, whereas the PKC modulators had no effect. Furthermore, theophylline-induced Ca2+ influx was confirmed by Mn2+-induced quench of fura-2 fluorescence. Together, in AML12 cells, theophylline caused Ca2+-associated cytotoxicity and induced Ca2+ entry through PLC-independent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and PKC-insensitive store-operated Ca2+ channels. BAPTA-AM with its protective effects may be a potential compound for prevention of theophylline-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease that affects the musculoskeletal structure of the whole joint, which is characterized by progressive destruction of both articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Treatment of the bone pathologies, particularly osteoclast‐mediated subchondral bone loss in the early stages of OA, could prevent subsequent cartilage degeneration and progression of OA. In the present study, the PKC inhibitor, Sotrastaurin, was found to inhibit RANKL‐induced osteoclast formation in vitro in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. In particular, SO exerted its anti‐osteoclastic effect predominantly at the early stages of RANKL stimulation, suggesting inhibitory effects on precursor cell fusion. Using mature osteoclasts cultured on bovine bone discs, we showed that SO also exerts anti‐resorptive effects on mature osteoclasts bone resorptive function. Mechanistically, SO attenuates the early activation of the p38, ERK and JNK signalling pathways, leeding to impaired induction of crucial osteoclast transcription factors c‐Jun, c‐Fos and NFATc1. We also showed that SO treatment significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of PKCδ and MARCKS, an upstream regulator of cathepsin K secretion. Finally, in animal studies, SO significantly alleviates the osteochondral pathologies of subchondral bone destruction as well as articular cartilage degeneration following DMM‐induced OA, markedly improving OARSI scores. The reduced subchondral bone loss was associated with marked reductions in TRAP(+) osteoclasts in the subchondral bone tissue. Collectively, our data provide evidence for the protective effects of SO against OA by preventing aberrant subchondral bone and articular cartilage changes. Thus, SO demonstrates potential for further development as an alternative therapeutic option against OA.

Abstract
Protein kinase C delta (PKC-δ) functions as an important regulator in bone metabolism. However, the precise involvement of PKC-δ in the regulation of osteoclasts remains elusive. We generated an osteoclast specific PKC-δ knockout mouse strain to investigate the function of PKC-δ in osteoclast biology. Bone phenotype was investigated using microcomputed tomography. Osteoclast and osteoblast parameters were assessed using bone histomorphometry, and analysis of osteoclast formation and function with osteoclastogensis and hydroxyapatite resorption assays. The molecular mechanisms by which PKC-δ regulated osteoclast function were dissected by Western Blotting, TUNEL assay, transfection and transcriptome sequencing. We found that ablation of PKC-δ in osteoclasts resulted in an increase in trabecular and cortical bone volume in male mice, however, the bone mass phenotype was not observed in female mice. This was accompanied by decreased osteoclast number and surface, and Cathepsin-K protein levels in vivo, as well as decreased osteoclast formation and resorption in vitro in a male-specific manner. PKC-δ regulated androgen receptor transcription by binding to its promoter, moreover, PKC-δ conditional knockout did not increase osteoclast apoptosis but increased MAPK signaling and enhanced androgen receptor transcription and expression, finally leding to significant alterations in gene expression and signaling changes related to extracellular matrix proteins specifically in male mice. In conclusion, PKC-δ plays an important role in osteoclast formation and function in a male-specific manner. Our work reveals a previously unknown target for treatment of gender-related bone diseases.

Abstract
Teriparatide (hPTH(1-34)) exhibits both osteoanabolic and osteocatabolic effects. We generated a novel PTH analog by duplicating the PTH(29-34) domain to hPTH(3-34) (named MY-1), which was identified to activate PKC but not PLC and cAMP/PKA signaling. It increased osteo-differentiation but did not affect osteoclastogenesis and RANKL expression in primary osteoblasts or bone marrow cells. MY-1 and hPTH(1-34) increased the synthesis and decreased the degradation οf β-catenin protein in osteoblasts, while PKC inhibitor blunted such effects. In vivo results indicated that intermittent MY-1 and hPTH(1-34) prevented bone loss in ovariectomized mice, and that MY-1 infusion increased bone volume in normal mice. Histological analysis observed more osteoclasts surrounding the cancellous bone surface in hPTH(1-34), but not MY-1 treated mice. We conclude that MY-1 mimicked the osteoanabolic but not the osteocatabolic effects of hPTH(1-34), which is related to PKC and β-catenin signaling. Such anabolic-only analog provides a new strategy to study PTH's versatile functions and design new medicines to treat osteoporosis and bone defects.

Abstract
Podocytes, dynamic polarized cells wrapped around glomerular capillaries, are an essential component of the glomerular filtration barrier. BK channels consist of one of the slit diaphragm (SD) proteins in podocytes, interact with the actin cytoskeleton, and play vital roles in glomerular filtration. Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes regulate expression of SD proteins, as well as cytoskeleton structure, in podocytes. However, whether mTOR complexes regulate podocyte BK channels is still unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanism of mTOR complex regulation of BK channels via real-time PCR, western blot, immunofluorescence, and patch clamping. Inhibiting mTORC1 with rapamycin or downregulating Raptor had no significant effect on BK channel mRNA and protein levels and bioactivity. However, the dual inhibitor of mTORC1 and mTORC2 AZD8055 and short hairpin RNA targeting Rictor downregulated BK channel mRNA and protein levels and bioactivity. In addition, MK2206, GF109203X, and GSK650394, which are inhibitors of Akt, PKCα, and SGK1, respectively, were employed to test the downstream signaling pathway of mTORC2. MK2206 and GF109203X had no effect on BK channel protein levels. MK2206 caused an obvious decrease in the current density of the BK channels. Moreover, GSK650394 downregulated the BK channel protein and mRNA levels. These results indicate mTORC2 not only regulates the distribution of BK channels through Akt, but also modulates BK channel protein expression via SGK1 in podocytes.

Abstract
Osteolytic diseases are characterized by an increase in the number and/or activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Identification of natural compounds that can suppress osteoclast formation and function is crucial for the prevention and treatment of osteolytic diseases. Vitexin, a naturally-derived flavonoid extracted from various medicinal plant species, demonstrates a broad range of pharmacological properties including anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. Here in this study, we showed that vitexin exerts antiosteoclastogenic effects by directly inhibiting receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro and protected against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory osteolysis in vivo. Vitexin suppressed the early activation of ERK and p38 MAPK pathways in response to RANKL thereby attenuating the downstream induction of c-Fos and NFATc1, and abrogating the expression of osteoclast marker genes. Collectively, these results provide evidence for the therapeutic application of vitexin in the treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone lytic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myeloma bone disease (MBD) can cause bone destruction and increase the level of Ca2+ concentration in the bone marrow microenvironment by stimulating osteoclastic differentiation. Nevertheless, the relationships between MBD and highly efficient stimuli of Ca2+ in multiple myeloma (MM) progression, and possible regulatory mechanisms are poorly defined. Here, we reported that the nonselective cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) plays a functional role in Ca2+ oscillations and osteoclastogenesis. METHODS To investigate the expression of TRPV2 in MM, we analyzed publicly available MM data sets and performed immunohistochemistry in MM patients. The correlations between TRPV2 expression levels and osteoclast-related cytokines were analyzed. Fluo-4 staining and ELISA assays were used to assess the regulated function of TRPV2 in intracellular Ca2+ and cytokines. Western blotting and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to explore the signaling pathway of TRPV2-induced osteoclastic differentiation. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, ELISA and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were performed to detect the biological effects of TRPV2 inhibitor on osteoclastogenesis. RESULTS The functional expression of TRPV2, involved in the osteolysis through gating the calcium influx, was changed in the MM cells cultured in a high Ca2+ environment. Mechanistically, TRPV2 modulates nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-dependent osteoclastic differentiation through the Ca2+-calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. Of clinical relevance, systemic administration with SKF96365 could attenuate the MM-induced osteoclast formation in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our study uncovers the possible roles of TRPV2, which enhances MBD, suggesting that targeting osteocyte-MM cells interactions through blockade of TRPV2 channel may provide a promising treatment strategy in MM.

Abstract
Osteoclast activation by wear particles has caused major difficulties for surgeons. Wear particles are the main causes of aseptic prosthetic loosening. Gö6983, a protein kinase C inhibitor, inhibits five subtypes of protein kinase C family members. Here, we found that Gö6983 had an obviously inhibitory effect on wear-particles-induced osteolysis in vivo. In vitro, Gö6983 inhibited RANKL-stimulated osteoclast formation and function by inhibiting the RANKL-stimulated nuclear factor-κB/JNK/p38 signaling pathway. We also observed that Go6983 had no effect on the differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoblast-associated genes expression. According to our data, Gö6983 has potential therapeutic effects for aseptic prosthetic loosening caused by osteoclast activation.

Abstract
Over-production and activation of osteoclasts is a common feature of osteolytic conditions such as osteoporosis, tumor-associated osteolysis, and inflammatory bone erosion. Cyanidin Chloride, a subclass of anthocyanin, displays antioxidant and anti-carcinogenesis properties, but its role in osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoporosis is not well understood. In this study, we showed that Cyanidin Chloride inhibits osteoclast formation, hydroxyapatite resorption, and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast marker gene expression; including ctr, ctsk, and trap. Further investigation revealed that Cyanidin Chloride inhibits RANKL-induced NF-κB activation, suppresses the degradation of IκB-α and attenuates the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK). In addition, Cyanidin Chloride abrogated RANKL-induced calcium oscillations, the activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells calcineurin-dependent 1 (NFATc1), and the expression of c-Fos. Further, we showed that Cyanidin Chloride protects against ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. Together our findings suggest that Cyanidin Chloride is capable of inhibiting osteoclast formation, hydroxyapatite resorption and RANKL-induced signal pathways in vitro and OVX-induced bone loss in vivo, and thus might have therapeutic potential for osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the role of the endovanilloid/endocannabinoid system in the glucocorticoid-induced osteoclast overactivity. Receptorial and enzymatic component of the endovanilloid/endocannabinoid system are expressed in bone cells, and dysregulated when bone mass is reduced. Moreover, blockade or desensitization of vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and/or stimulation of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) are beneficial for reducing number and activity of the bone cells modulating resorption, the osteoclasts. We have treated in vitro healthy woman derived osteoclasts with methylprednisolone in presence or not of CB2 or TRPV1 agonists/antagonists, analysing the effect on osteoclast function and morphology through a multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, a treatment with a protein kinase C inhibitor to evaluate osteoclast activity and endovanilloid/endocannabinoid component expression levels was performed in osteoclasts derived from healthy subjects in presence of not of methylprednisolone. Our results show, for the first time, that the endovanilloid/endocannabinoid system is dysregulated by the treatment with methylprednisolone, that the osteoclast activity is increased and that pharmacological compounds stimulating CB2 or inhibiting TRPV1 might reduce, possible inhibiting protein kinase C beta II, the methylprednisolone-induced osteoclast over-activation, suggesting their therapeutic use for protecting from the glucocorticoid-induced bone mass loss.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The bone is a preferred site for metastatic homing of prostate cancer cells. Once prostate cancer patients develop skeletal metastases, they eventually succumb to the disease; therefore, it is imperative to identify key molecular drivers of this process. This study examines the involvement of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε), an oncogenic protein that is abnormally overexpressed in human tumor specimens and cell lines, on prostate cancer cell bone metastasis. PC3-ML cells, a highly invasive prostate cancer PC3 derivative with bone metastatic colonization properties, failed to induce skeletal metastatic foci upon inoculation into nude mice when PKCε expression was silenced using shRNA. Interestingly, while PKCε depletion had only marginal effects on the proliferative, adhesive, and migratory capacities of PC3-ML cells in vitro or in the growth of xenografts upon s.c. inoculation, it caused a significant reduction in cell invasiveness. Notably, PKCε was required for transendothelial cell migration (TEM) as well as for the growth of PC3-ML cells in a bone biomimetic environment. At a mechanistic level, PKCε depletion abrogates the expression of IL1β, a cytokine implicated in skeletal metastasis. Taken together, PKCε is a key factor for driving the formation of bone metastasis by prostate cancer cells and is a potential therapeutic target for advanced stages of the disease. IMPLICATIONS This study uncovers an important new function of PKCε in the dissemination of cancer cells to the bone; thus, highlighting the promising potential of this oncogenic kinase as a therapeutic target for skeletal metastasis.
