Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a pathological process characterized by the aberrant formation of bone in muscles and soft tissues. It is commonly triggered by traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and burns. Despite a wide range of evidence underscoring the significance of neurogenic signals in proper bone remodeling, a clear understanding of HO induced by nerve injury remains rudimentary. Recent studies suggest that injury to the nervous system can activate various signaling pathways, such as TGF-β, leading to neurogenic HO through the release of neurotrophins. These pathophysiological changes lay a robust groundwork for the prevention and treatment of HO. In this review, we collected evidence to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of HO related to nerve injury, aiming to enhance our understanding of how neurological repair processes can culminate in HO.

Multifaceted Materials for Enhanced Osteogenesis and Antimicrobial Properties on Bioplastic Polyetheretherketone Surfaces: A Review. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:17784-17807.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections and the increasing number of bone implants loosening and falling off after implantation have become urgent global challenges, hence the need for intelligent alternative solutions to combat implant loosening and falling off. The application of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in biomedical and medical therapy has aroused great interest, especially because its elastic modulus close to bone provides an effective alternative to titanium implants, thereby preventing the possibility of bone implants loosening and falling off due to the mismatch of elastic modulus. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in surface modifications to prevent bone binding deficiency and bacterial infection after implantation of bone implants, starting with inorganics for surface modification, followed by organics that can effectively promote bone integration and antimicrobial action. In addition, surface modifications derived from cells and related products of biological activity have been proposed, and there is increasing evidence of clinical potential. Finally, the advantages and future challenges of surface strategies against medical associated poor osseointegration and infection are discussed, with promising prospects for developing novel osseointegration and antimicrobial PEEK materials.

Abstract
With an increasing understanding of the mechanisms of fracture healing, it has been found that nerve injury plays a crucial role in the process, but the specific mechanism is yet to be completely revealed. To address this issue and provide novel insights for fracture treatment, we compiled this review. This review aims to study the impact of nerve injury on fracture healing, exploring the role of neurotrophic factors in the healing process. We first revisited the effects of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) on the skeletal system, and further explained the phenomenon of significantly accelerated fracture healing under nerve injury conditions. Then, from the perspective of neurotrophic factors, we delved into the physiological functions and mechanisms of neurotrophic factors, such as nerve growth factor (NGF), Neuropeptides (NPs), and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in bone metabolism. These effects include direct actions on bone cells, improvement of local blood supply, regulation of bone growth factors, control of cellular signaling pathways, promotion of callus formation and bone regeneration, and synergistic or antagonistic effects with other endocrine factors, such as Sema3A and Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β). Finally, we discussed the treatments of fractures with nerve injuries and the future research directions in this review, suggesting that the relationship between nerve injury and fracture healing, as well as the role of nerve injury in other skeletal diseases.

A pathogenic role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in fibrous dysplasia of bone. Bone 2024; 181:117047. [PMID: 38331308 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin, expressed in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues, that is regulated by the Gsα/cAMP pathway. In bone, it regulates osteogenesis and stimulates RANKL secretion and osteoclast formation in osteolytic tumors such as Multiple Myeloma. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of bone is a rare genetic disease of the skeleton caused by gain-of-function mutations of the Gsα gene in which RANKL-dependent enhanced bone resorption is a major cause of bone fragility and clinical morbidity. We observed that BDNF transcripts are expressed in human FD lesions. Specifically, immunolocalization studies performed on biopsies obtained from FD patients revealed the expression of BDNF in osteoblasts and, to a lower extent, in the spindle-shaped cells within the fibrous tissue. Therefore, we hypothesized that BDNF can play a role in the pathogenesis of FD by stimulating RANKL secretion and bone resorption. To test this hypothesis, we used the EF1α-GsαR201C mouse model of the human disease (FD mice). Western blot analysis revealed a higher expression of BDNF in bone segments of FD mice compared to WT mice and the immunolabeling pattern within mouse FD lesions was similar to that observed in human FD. Treatment of FD mice with a monoclonal antibody against BDNF reduced the fibrous tissue along with the number of osteoclasts and osteoblasts within femoral lesions. These results reveal BDNF as a new player in the pathogenesis of FD and a potential molecular mechanism by which osteoclastogenesis may be nourished within FD bone lesions. They also suggest that BDNF inhibition may be a new approach to reduce abnormal bone remodeling in FD.

Abstract
Radical prostatectomy (RP) can cause neurogenic erectile dysfunction (ED), which negatively affects the quality of life of patients with prostate cancer. Currently, there is a dearth of effective therapeutic strategies. Although stem cell therapy is promising, direct cell transplantation to injured cavernous nerves is constrained by poor cell colonization. In this study, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/gelatin electrospun membranes (PGEM) were fabricated to load bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) as a patch to be placed on injured nerves to alleviate ED. This study aimed to establish a promising and innovative approach to mitigate neurogenic ED post-RP and lay the foundation for modifying surgical procedures. Electrospinning and molecular biotechnology were performed in vitro and in vivo, respectively. It was observed that PGEM enhanced the performance of BM-MSCs and Schwann cells due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The transplanted PGEM and loaded BM-MSCs synergistically improved bilateral cavernous nerve injury-related ED and the corresponding histopathological changes. Nevertheless, transplantation of BM-MSCs alone has been verified to be ineffective. Overall, PGEM can serve as an ideal carrier to supply a more suitable survival environment for BM-MSCs and Schwann cells, thereby promoting the recovery of injured cavernous nerves and erectile function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has gained attention as a therapeutic agent due to its potential biological activities, including osteogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the osteogenic activity of BDNF have not been fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the action of BDNF on the osteoblast differentiation in bone marrow stromal cells, and its influence on signaling pathways. In addition, to evaluate the clinical efficacy, an in vivo animal study was performed. METHODS Preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1), bone marrow-derived stromal cells (ST2), and a direct 2D co-culture system were treated with BDNF. The effect of BDNF on cell proliferation was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteoblast differentiation was assessed based on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and staining and the protein expression of multiple osteoblast markers. Calcium accumulation was examined by Alizarin red S staining. For the animal study, we used ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats and divided them into BDNF and normal saline injection groups. MicroCT, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain were performed for analysis. RESULTS BDNF significantly increased ALP activity, calcium deposition, and the expression of osteoblast differentiation-related proteins, such as ALP, osteopontin, etc., in both ST-2 and the MC3T3-E1 and ST-2 co-culture systems. Moreover, the effect of BDNF on osteogenic differentiation was diminished by blocking tropomyosin receptor kinase B, as well as inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 MAPK signals. Although the animal study results including bone density and histology showed increased osteoblastic and decreased osteoclastic activity, only a portion of parameters reached statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Our study results showed that BDNF affects osteoblast differentiation through TrkB receptor, and JNK and p38 MAPK signal pathways. Although not statistically significant, the trend of such effects was observed in the animal experiment.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material has become a potential bone replacement material due to its elastic modulus, which is close to that of human bone, and stable chemical properties. However, its biological inertness has hindered its clinical application. To improve the biological inertia of PEEK material, a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel coating loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) was constructed on the surface of PEEK material in this study. After the hybrid hydrogel coating was constructed, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), degradation tests, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to evaluate its characteristics and biological properties. The osteogenic and angiogenic potentials were also investigated in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that the HA hydrogel loaded with RPP and NGF on the PEEK surface degraded slowly and could sustainably release various growth factors, including NGF. The results of in vitro tests showed that the hybrid hydrogel on the surface of PEEK effectively promoted osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The in vivo experiment also confirmed that the PEEK surface hydrogel could promote osseointegration of the implant and the integration of new bone and neovascularization. Our results suggest that the cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogel loaded with PRP and NGF can significantly improve the biological inertia of PEEK material, endowing PEEK material with good osteogenic and angiogenic ability.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The traditionally understated role of neural regulation in fracture healing is gaining prominence, as recent findings underscore the peripheral nervous system's critical contribution to bone repair. Indeed, it is becoming more evident that the nervous system modulates every stage of fracture healing, from the onset of inflammation to repair and eventual remodeling. RECENT FINDINGS Essential to this process are neurotrophins and neuropeptides, such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and neuropeptide Y. These molecules fulfill key roles in promoting osteogenesis, influencing inflammation, and mediating pain. The sympathetic nervous system also plays an important role in the healing process: while local sympathectomies may improve fracture healing, systemic sympathetic denervation impairs fracture healing. Furthermore, chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system, often triggered by stress, is a potential impediment to effective fracture healing, marking an important area for further investigation. The potential to manipulate aspects of the nervous system offers promising therapeutic possibilities for improving outcomes in fracture healing. This review article is part of a series of multiple manuscripts designed to determine the utility of using artificial intelligence for writing scientific reviews.

Abstract
The skeleton is a highly innervated organ in which nerve fibers interact with various skeletal cells. Peripheral nerve endings release neurogenic factors and sense skeletal signals, which mediate bone metabolism and skeletal pain. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has increasingly focused on the effects of the nervous system on bone regeneration. Simultaneous regeneration of bone and nerves through the use of materials or by the enhancement of endogenous neurogenic repair signals has been proven to promote functional bone regeneration. Additionally, emerging information on the mechanisms of skeletal interoception and the central nervous system regulation of bone homeostasis provide an opportunity for advancing biomaterials. However, comprehensive reviews of this topic are lacking. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the relationship between nerves and bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering applications. We discuss novel regulatory mechanisms and explore innovative approaches based on nerve-bone interactions for bone regeneration. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of this field are briefly discussed.

Etomidate Improves the Antidepressant Effect of Electroconvulsive Therapy by Suppressing Hippocampal Neuronal Ferroptosis via Upregulating BDNF/Nrf2. Mol Neurobiol 2023; 60:6584-6597. [PMID: 37466875 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-023-03499-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) performed under general anesthesia is an effective treatment for severe depression. Etomidate is an intravenous anesthetic that shows beneficial effects on ECT. However, the potential mechanisms have rarely been reported. In this study, male rats were exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress for 4 weeks, followed by ECT for 10 days, with or without intervention with ferrostatin-1 (2 mg/kg) or all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, 5 mg/kg). Rats subjected to etomidate (20 mg/kg) or propofol (120 mg/kg) treatment were administered with designated anesthetic before ECT. Compared to depressive rats without ECT, those who received ECT showed increased numbers of hippocampal neurons, increased expression of negative regulators of ferroptosis including glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain 1, and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1, upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor, and downregulation of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4, a positive regulator of ferroptosis in the hippocampus. Additionally, compared with propofol, etomidate used in ECT resulted in higher upregulation of BDNF/Nrf2 and inhibited neuronal ferroptosis in hippocampus. These results showed etomidate may enhance the antidepressant effect of ECT by protecting hippocampal neurons against ferroptosis.

Abstract
Nerves within bone play an irreplaceable role in promoting bone regeneration. Crosstalk between the nerve system and bone has arisen to the attention of researchers in the field of basic medicine, clinical medicine, and biomaterials science. Successful bone regeneration relies on the appropriate participation of neural system components including nerve fibers, signaling molecules, and neural-related cells. Furthermore, more about the mechanisms through which nerves took part in bone regeneration and how these mechanisms could be integrated into tissue engineering scaffolds were under exploration. In the present review, we aimed to systematically elaborate on the structural and functional interrelationship between the nerve system and bone. In particular, peripheral nerves interact with the bone through innervated axons, multiple neurotrophins, and bone resident cells. Also, we aimed to summarize research that took advantage of the neuro-osteogenic network to design tissue engineering scaffolds for bone repair.

Abstract
Neurotrophins (NTs) as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play multiple roles in different settings including neuronal development, function and survival in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems from early stages. This report aims to provide a summary and subsequent review of evidences on the role of NTs in rare and non-common pediatric human diseases associated with changes in neurodevelopment. A variety of diseases has been analyzed and many have been linked to NTs neurobiological effects, including chronic granulomatous disease, hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Angelman syndrome, fragile X syndrome, trisomy 16, Williams-Beuren syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, WAGR syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, Down syndrome and Klinefelter Syndrome. NTs alterations have been associated with numerous pathologic manifestations including cognitive defects, behavioral abnormalities, epilepsy, obesity, tumorigenesis as well as muscle-skeletal, immunity, bowel, pain sensibility and cilia diseases. In this report, we discuss that further studies are needed to clear a possible therapeutic role of NTs in these still often uncurable diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Entrectinib is a TRKA/B/C, ROS1, ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of adults and children aged ≥12 years with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors and adults with ROS1 fusion-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. We report an analysis of the STARTRK-NG trial, investigating the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and activity of entrectinib in pediatric patients with solid tumors including primary central nervous system tumors. METHODS STARTRK-NG (NCT02650401) is a phase 1/2 trial. Phase 1, dose-escalation of oral, once-daily entrectinib, enrolled patients aged <22 years with solid tumors with/without target NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK fusions. Phase 2, basket trial at the RP2D, enrolled patients with intracranial or extracranial solid tumors harboring target fusions or neuroblastoma. Primary endpoints: phase 1, RP2D based on toxicity; phase 2, objective response rate (ORR) in patients harboring target fusions. Safety-evaluable patients: ≥1 dose of entrectinib; response-evaluable patients: measurable/evaluable baseline disease and ≥1 dose at RP2D. RESULTS At data cutoff, 43 patients, median age of 7 years, were response-evaluable. In phase 1, 4 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities. The most common treatment-related adverse event was weight gain (48.8%). Nine patients experienced bone fractures (20.9%). In patients with fusion-positive tumors, ORR was 57.7% (95% CI 36.9-76.7), median duration of response was not reached, and median (interquartile range) duration of treatment was 10.6 months (4.2-18.4). CONCLUSIONS Entrectinib resulted in rapid and durable responses in pediatric patients with solid tumors harboring NTRK1/2/3 or ROS1 fusions.

Abstract
Radiofrequency energy is a common treatment modality for chronic pain. While there are different forms of radiofrequency-based therapeutics, the common concept is the generation of an electromagnetic field in the applied area, that can result in neuromodulation (pulsed radiofrequency—PRF) or ablation. Our specific focus relates to PRF due to the possibility of modulation that is in accordance with the mechanisms of action of orthobiologics. The proposed mechanism of action of PRF pertaining to pain relief relies on a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration, a general effect on the immune system, and a reduction in the formation of free radical molecules. The primary known properties of orthobiologics constitute the release of growth factors, a stimulus for endogenous repair, analgesia, and improvement of the function of the injured area. In this review, we described the mechanism of action of both treatments and pertinent scientific references to the use of the combination of PRF and orthobiologics. Our hypothesis is a synergic effect with the combination of both techniques which could benefit patients and improve the life quality.

Abstract
Implants are essential therapeutic tools for treating bone fractures and joint replacements. Despite the in-depth study of osseointegration for more than fifty years, poor osseointegration caused by aseptic loosening remains one of the leading causes of late implant failures. Osseointegration is a highly sophisticated and spatiotemporal process in vivo involving the immune response, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. It has been unraveled that the nervous system plays a pivotal role in skeletal health via manipulating neurotrophins, neuropeptides, and nerve cells. Herein, the research related to nervous system-driven osseointegration was systematically analyzed and reviewed, aiming to demonstrate the prominent role of neuromodulation in osseointegration. Additionally, it is indicated that the implant design considering the role of neuromodulation might be a promising way to prevent aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Although the functions of the peripheral nervous system in whole body homeostasis and sensation have been understood for many years, recent investigation has uncovered new roles for innervation in the musculoskeletal system. This review centers on advances regarding the function of nerves in the development and repair of two connected tissues: tendon and bone. Innervation in healthy tendons is generally confined to the tendon sheaths, and tendon-bone attachment units are typically aneural. In contrast to tendon, bone is an innervated and vascularized structure. Historically, the function of abundant peripheral nerves in bone has been limited to pain and some non-painful sensory perception in disease and injury. Indeed, much of our understanding of peripheral nerves in tendons, bones, and entheses is limited to the source and type of innervation in healthy and injured tissues. However, more recent studies have made important observations regarding the appearance, type, and innervation patterns of nerves during embryonic and postnatal development and in response to injury, which suggest a more expansive role for peripheral nerves in the formation of musculoskeletal tissues. Indeed, tendons and bones develop in a close spatiotemporal relationship in the embryonic mesoderm. Models of limb denervation have shed light on the importance of sensory innervation in bone and to a lesser extent, tendon development, and more recent work has unraveled key nerve signaling pathways. Furthermore, loss of sensory innervation also impairs healing of bone fractures and may contribute to chronic tendinopathy. However, more study is required to translate our knowledge of peripheral nerves to therapeutic strategies to combat bone and tendon diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exogenous nerve growth factor (NGF) can induce osteogenic precursor cell differentiation and promote fracture healing. However, the molecular mechanism by which NGF induces osteogenesis is not well understood. BMP-2 has good osteogenic efficacy and is one of the most osteogenic-inducing growth factors known. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether NGF induces osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic osteogenic precursor cell line MC3T3-E1 by BMP-2 and search further mechanisms of NGF on BMP-2. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with NGF at a concentration gradient for indicated times, after which the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 kit. Osteogenic differentiation was detected with quantification of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity also visualized with ALP staining. The transcription and expression of relevant genes were detected by qPCR and western blotting, respectively. NGF's effect on BMP2 was studied with qPCR and luciferase reporter assay. The phosphorylation of Smads was probed with specific antibodies by western blotting, and the location of Smads was observed through immunofluorescence. RESULTS We found that NGF promoted proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1, increased the expression level of BMP-2, as well as the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Smad1/5/8. However, neutralization of BMP-2 with si-BMP-2 or BMP-2 signal inhibitors reversed NGF induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Smad1/5/8, as well as the expression of Runx2, type I collagen, osteocalcin and osteopontin. In addition, si-BMP-2 abrogated NGF-induced ALP activity. CONCLUSION NGF induced osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells through BMP-2/Smads pathway and induction of Runx2. Our study would provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of fractures using NGF.

Zhang Y, Chen H, Long X, Xu T. The effect of neural cell integrated into 3D co-axial bioprinted BMMSC structures during osteogenesis. Regen Biomater 2021; 8:rbab041. [PMID: 34350030 PMCID: PMC8329473 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbab041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a new strategy for fabricating 3D cell-laden constructs that mimic the structural and functional characteristics of various tissues and provides a similar architecture and microenvironment of the native tissue. However, there are few reported studies on the neural function properties of bioengineered bone autografts. Thus, this study was aimed at investigating the effects of neural cell integration into 3D bioprinted bone constructs. The bioprinted hydrogel constructs could maintain long-term cell survival, support cell growth for human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), reduce cell surface biomarkers of stemness, and enhance orthopedic differentiation with higher expression of osteogenesis-related genes, including osteopontin (OPN) and bone morphogenetic protein-2. More importantly, the bioprinted constructs with neural cell integration indicated higher OPN gene and secretory alkaline phosphatase levels. These results suggested that the innervation in bioprinted bone constructs can accelerate the differentiation and maturation of bone development and provide patients with an option for accelerated bone function restoration.

Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Subcutaneous Tanezumab Versus Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs for Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Trial. Arthritis Rheumatol 2021; 73:1167-1177. [PMID: 33538113 DOI: 10.1002/art.41674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term safety and 16-week efficacy of subcutaneous tanezumab in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS This was a phase III randomized, double-blind, active treatment-controlled (using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] as the active treatment control) safety trial of tanezumab (56-week treatment/24-week posttreatment follow-up) in adults who were receiving stable-dose NSAID therapy at the time of screening and who had Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and physical function scores of ≥5; patient global assessment (PtGA) of OA of fair, poor, or very poor; history of inadequate pain relief with standard analgesics; and no history or radiographic evidence of prespecified bone/joint conditions beyond OA. Patients received oral naproxen, celecoxib, or diclofenac twice daily (NSAID group; n = 996) or tanezumab 2.5 mg (n = 1,002) or 5 mg (n = 998) subcutaneously every 8 weeks. Coprimary efficacy end points at week 16 were changes in WOMAC pain and physical function scores and changes in PtGA. The primary joint safety end point over 80 weeks comprised adjudicated rapidly progressive OA type 1 or 2, primary osteonecrosis, subchondral insufficiency fracture, or pathologic fracture. Mean values, least squares mean values, and least squares mean differences between groups (with 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]) were calculated. RESULTS Of 3,021 randomized patients, 2,996 received ≥1 treatment dose. Adverse events (AEs) were similar between patients treated with tanezumab 2.5 mg and those treated with NSAIDs, and were more prevalent in those treated with tanezumab 5 mg. Composite joint safety events were significantly more prevalent with tanezumab 2.5 mg and tanezumab 5 mg than with NSAIDs (observation time-adjusted rate/1,000 patient-years 38.3 [95% CI 28.0, 52.5] and 71.5 [95% CI 56.7, 90.2], respectively, versus 14.8 [95% CI 8.9, 24.6]; P = 0.001 for tanezumab 2.5 mg versus NSAIDs; P < 0.001 for tanezumab 5 mg versus NSAIDs). Tanezumab 5 mg significantly improved pain and physical function but did not improve PtGA at week 16 when compared to NSAIDs; corresponding differences between the tanezumab 2.5 mg and NSAID groups were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION In patients previously receiving a stable dose of NSAIDs, tanezumab administered subcutaneously resulted in more joint safety events than continued NSAIDs, with differences being dose dependent. Pain and physical function improved with both doses of tanezumab compared to NSAIDs, reaching statistical significance with tanezumab 5 mg at 16 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease accompanied with joint destruction that often leads to disability. Wang-Bi capsule (WB), a traditional Chinese medicine-based herbs formula, has exhibited inhibition effect on joint destruction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) animal model in our previous study. But its molecular mechanisms are still obscure. METHODS CIA rats were treated intragastrical with WB for eight weeks, and the effect of joints protection were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, safranin O fast green staining, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and micro‑CT scanning analysis. The transcriptomic of tarsal joints were used to investigate how WB alleviated joint destruction. RESULTS The histological examination of ankle joints showed WB alleviated both cartilage damage and bone destruction of CIA rats. This protective effect on joints were further evidenced by micro-CT analysis. The transcriptomic analysis showed that WB prominently changed 12 KEGG signaling pathways ("calcium signaling pathway", "cAMP signaling pathway", "cell adhesion molecules", "chemokine signaling pathway", "complement and coagulation cascades", "MAPK signaling pathway", "NF-kappa B signaling pathway", "osteoclast differentiation", "PI3K-Akt signaling pathway", "focal adhesion", "Gap junction" and "Rap1 signaling pathway") associated with bone or cartilage. Several genes (including Il6, Tnfsf11, Ffar2, Plg, Tnfrsf11b, Fgf4, Fpr1, Siglec1, Vegfd, Cldn1, Cxcl13, Chad, Arrb2, Fgf9, Egfr) regulating bone resorption, bone formation and cartilage development were identified by further analysis. Meanwhile, these differentially expressed genes were validated by real-time quantitative PCR. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the protective effect of WB treatment on joint were confirmed in CIA rats, and its basic molecular mechanisms may be associated with regulating some genes (including Il6, Tnfsf11, Ffar2 and Plg etc.) involved in bone resorption, bone formation and cartilage development.

Abstract
The tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) family of receptor tyrosine kinases has become a focus of clinical interest because the NTRK genes (NTRK1-3) encoding them have been identified as oncogenic fusion genes in a wide range of different tumor types, including lung cancer. These NTRK gene fusions usually occur at a low frequency below 1%, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 0.1-0.2% of the cases and have been reported across a wide range of tumor types. The TRK fusion proteins encoded by such gene fusions have constitutively activated tyrosine kinase domains and constitute actionable targets for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The first generation TRK TKIs larotrectinib and entrectinib have been investigated in clinical phase I and II trials in solid tumors both in adult and pediatric patients and results have demonstrated high response rates that are durable and with generally good tolerability. This has led to approval of these TRK inhibitors by regulatory authorities in the USA, Europe and Japan as tumor agnostic treatment of advanced or recurrent NTRK fusion-positive cancers in adult and pediatric patients. With a focus on lung cancer, this review gives a background to NTRK fusion genes, presents clinical data for TRK inhibitors and discuss the issue of acquired resistance to TRK inhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) on osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). METHODS Osteogenic differentiation was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining (ARS). Adipogenic differentiation was detected by oil red O (ORO) staining. The expression of bone-related genes (Runx2, Osterix, OCN, ALP) and lipogenic genes (FABP4, PPAR, CEBP, LPL) was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR). The expression of p-Akt and Akt protein was detected by Western blot assay. RESULTS ALP staining and ARS staining showed that the overexpression of NT-3 could promote the differentiation into osteoblasts, while knockdown of NT-3 could inhibit that. Real-time qPCR showed that the overexpression of NT-3 could increase the expression of osteoblast genes, while knockdown of NT-3 could inhibit that. ORO staining showed that the overexpression of NT-3 could inhibit the differentiation into adipogenesis, while knockdown of NT-3 can promote that. Real-time qPCR showed that the overexpression of NT-3 could reduce the expression of lipogenic genes. while knockdown NT-3 could increase that. In addition, the overexpression of NT-3 increased p-Akt/Akt levels significantly, while knockdown NT-3 reduced that significantly. CONCLUSION NT-3 could promote the differentiation of mouse BMSCs into osteoblasts and inhibit their differentiation into adipogenesis.

Abstract
The FDA-approved entrectinib on August 15, 2019, for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with solid tumors that have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation, are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy. Approval was based on demonstration of a durable overall response rate of 57% (95% confidence interval: 43-71), including a complete response rate of 7%, among 54 entrectinib-treated patients with 10 different tumor types harboring an NTRK fusion enrolled in one of three single-arm clinical trials. The durations of response ranged from 2.8 months to 26.0+ months; 68% of responses lasted ≥ 6 months. The most serious toxicities of entrectinib are congestive heart failure, central nervous system effects, skeletal fractures, hepatotoxicity, hyperuricemia, QT prolongation, and vision disorders. Adverse reactions were manageable through dose interruptions (46%), dose reductions (29%), or discontinuation of entrectinib (9%). This is the third approval of a cancer drug for treatment of a tissue agnostic, biomarker-defined cancer.

Abstract
Tissue innervation is a complex process controlled by the expression profile of signaling molecules secreted by tissue-resident cells that dictate the growth and guidance of axons. Sensory innervation is part of the neuronal network of the bone tissue with a defined spatiotemporal occurrence during bone development. Yet, the current understanding of the mechanisms regulating the map of sensory innervation in the bone tissue is still limited. Here, we demonstrated that differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts leads to a marked impairment of their ability to promote axonal growth, evidenced under sensory neurons and osteoblastic-lineage cells crosstalk. The mechanisms by which osteoblast lineage cells provide this nonpermissive environment for axons include paracrine-induced repulsion and loss of neurotrophic factors expression. We identified a drastic reduction of NGF and BDNF production and stimulation of Sema3A, Wnt4, and Shh expression culminating at late stage of OB differentiation. We noted a correlation between Shh expression profile, OB differentiation stages, and OB-mediated axonal repulsion. Blockade of Shh activity and signaling reversed the repulsive action of osteoblasts on sensory axons. Finally, to strengthen our model, we localized the expression of Shh by osteoblasts in bone tissue. Overall, our findings provide evidence that the signaling profile associated with osteoblast phenotype differentiating program can regulate the patterning of sensory innervation, and highlight osteoblast-derived Shh as an essential player in this cue-induced regulation.

Macrophage-derived neurotrophin-3 promotes heterotopic ossification in rats. J Transl Med 2020; 100:762-776.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a debilitating condition that results from traumatic injuries or genetic diseases, for which the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, we have demonstrated the expression of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and its role in promoting HO formation via mediating endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of vascular endothelial cells. The current study investigated the role of NT-3 on the surrounding mesenchymal cells and its potential origin throughout HO formation at injured Achilles tendons in rats. We used an Achilles tenotomy to induce HO formation in vivo and cultured primary tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) to investigate the underlying mechanisms mediating the osteogenesis in vitro. Furthermore, RAW264.7 cells were employed to identify the origin of NT-3. The mRNA levels of NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 and their tyrosine protein kinase (Trk) receptors as well as p75 receptor were elevated at injury sites. NT-3 and TrkC showed the highest induction. Neutralization of the NT-3-induced effects by the pan-Trk inhibitor GNF5837 reduced the expression of bone/cartilage-related genes while injection of NT-3 promoted HO formation with elevated mRNA of bone/cartilage-related markers at injured sites. In vitro, NT-3 accelerated osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of TDSCs through activation of the ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Moreover, the colocalization of NT-3 and macrophages, including M1 and M2 macrophages, was observed in injured sites throughout HO formation, and in vitro studies demonstrated that activated macrophages mediated the secretion of NT-3. In addition, an increasing concentration of serum or supernatant NT-3 was observed both in vivo and in vitro. Depletion of macrophages with clodronate-loaded liposomes reduced HO formation as well as secretion and mRNA expression of NT-3. Our study suggests that macrophage-derived NT-3 may promote HO formation and osteogenesis of TDSCs via the ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, which may provide new insights for the therapeutic directions of HO in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests as progressive valvular fibrosis and calcification. An inflammatory milieu in valvular tissue promotes fibrosis and calcification. Aortic valve interstitial cell (AVIC) proliferation and the over-production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins contribute to valvular thickening. However, the mechanism underlying elevated AVIC fibrogenic activity remains unclear. Recently, we observed that AVICs from diseased aortic valves express higher levels of neurotrophin 3 (NT3) and that NT3 exerts pro-osteogenic and pro-fibrogenic effects on human AVICs. HYPOTHESIS Pro-inflammatory stimuli upregulate NT3 production in AVICs to promote fibrogenic activity in human aortic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS AVICs were isolated from normal human aortic valves and were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 0.20 µg/mL). LPS induced TLR4-dependent NT3 production. This effect of LPS was abolished by inhibition of the Akt and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathways. The stimulation of TLR4 in human AVICs with LPS resulted in a greater proliferation rate and an upregulated production of matrix metallopeptidases-9 (MMP-9) and collagen III, as well as augmented collagen deposition. Recombinant NT3 promoted AVIC proliferation in a tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk)-dependent fashion. The neutralization of NT3 or the inhibition of Trk suppressed LPS-induced AVIC fibrogenic activity. CONCLUSIONS The stimulation of TLR4 in human AVICs upregulates NT3 expression and promotes cell proliferation and collagen deposition. The NT3-Trk cascade plays a critical role in the TLR4-mediated elevation of fibrogenic activity in human AVICs. Upregulated NT3 production by endogenous TLR4 activators may contribute to aortic valve fibrosis associated with CAVD progression.

Abstract
The skeleton is well-innervated, but only recently have the functions of this complex network in bone started to become known. Although our knowledge of skeletal sensory and sympathetic innervation is incomplete, including the specific locations and subtypes of nerves in bone, we are now able to reconcile early studies utilizing denervation models with recent work dissecting the molecular signaling between bone and nerve. In total, sensory innervation functions in bone much as it does elsewhere in the body-to sense and respond to stimuli, including mechanical loading. Similarly, sympathetic nerves regulate autonomic functions related to bone, including homeostatic remodeling and vascular tone. However, more study is required to translate our current knowledge of bone-nerve crosstalk to novel therapeutic strategies that can be effectively utilized to combat skeletal diseases, disorders of low bone mass, and age-related decreases in bone quality.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease that results in loss of bone density and increased fracture risk, particularly in the vertebrae and the hip. This condition and associated morbidity and mortality increase with population ageing. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins, but play important regulatory roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. Their contribution to disease onset and development is increasingly recognized. Herein, we present an integrative revision on the studies that implicate lncRNAs in osteoporosis and that support their potential use as therapeutic tools. Firstly, current evidence on lncRNAs involvement in cellular and molecular mechanisms linked to osteoporosis and its major complication, fragility fractures, is reviewed. We analyze evidence of their roles in osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and bone fracture healing events from human and animal model studies. Secondly, the potential of lncRNAs alterations at genetic and transcriptomic level are discussed as osteoporosis risk factors and as new circulating biomarkers for diagnosis. Finally, we conclude debating the possibilities, persisting difficulties, and future prospects of using lncRNAs in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) poses a significant burden on not only the economics of health care but also the quality of life of an individual, as we approach an unprecedented age of longevity. In this article, we will delineate the current landscape of management of NIHL. We discuss the most recent results from in vitro and in vivo studies that determine the effectiveness of established pharmacotherapy such as corticosteroid and potential emerging therapies like N-acetyl cysteine and neurotrophins (NTs), as well as highlight ongoing clinical trials for these therapeutic agents. We present an overview of how the recent advancements in the field of gene-based and stem cell-based therapies can help in developing effective therapeutic strategies for NIHL. Gene-based therapies have shown exciting results demonstrating cochlear cellular regeneration using Atoh1, NRF2 as well as NT gene therapy employing viral vectors. In addition, we will discuss the recent advancements in genome-editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, and its potential role in NIHL therapy. We will further discuss the current state of stem cell therapy as it pertains to treating neurodegenerative conditions including NIHL. Embryonic stem cells, adult-derived stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells all represent an enticing reservoir of replacing damaged cells as a result of NIHL. Finally, we will discuss the barriers that need to be overcome to translate these promising treatment modalities to the clinical practice in pursuit of improving quality of life of patients having NIHL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurotrophin-3 (NTF3) and neurotrophin-4 (NTF4) play a crucial role in the neurodevelopment, differentiation, survival, and protection of neurons in different brain regions. Schizophrenia and depression are highly associated with metabolic abnormalities. Longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons of NTF3 and NTF4 levels, as well as clinical and metabolic parameters, were studied in schizophrenia, first-episode depression, and control groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum NTF3 and NTF4 levels, body mass index (BMI), fasting serum glucose and lipid profile: cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were measured at baseline and week 8 in 133 women: 55 patients with schizophrenia (19 with first-episode and 36 chronic), 30 patients with a first-episode depression and 48 healthy controls. The severity of the symptoms was evaluated with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. RESULTS Longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons did not detect any differences in the serum levels of NTF3 and NTF4 between studied groups. NTF3 and NTF4 levels were strongly correlated. Correlation of NTF3 and HDL-C levels at baseline was observed. Significant changes in cholesterol and fasting serum glucose levels in first-episode depression patients during 8 weeks of treatment were detected. Significant differences in BMI and LDL-C levels between schizophrenia and first-episode depression patients were discovered. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first research which correlates NTF3 and NTF4 with metabolic parameters. Our study does not support the theory that the peripheral levels of NTF3 and NTF4 are disturbed in schizophrenia or first-episode depression.

Abstract
Despite the fact that extensive studies have focused on heterotopic ossification (HO), its molecular mechanism remains unclear. The endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which may be partially modulated by neuroendocrine cytokines is thought to play a major role in HO. Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), which has neuroendocrine characteristics is believed to promote skeletal remodeling. Herein, we suggest that that NT-3 may promote HO formation through regulation of EndMT. Here, we used an in vivo model of HO and an in vitro model of EndMT induction to elucidate the effect and underlying mechanism of NT-3 on EndMT in HO. Our results showed that heterotopic bone and cartilage arose from EndMT and NT-3 promoted HO formation in vivo. Our in vitro results showed that NT-3 up-regulated mesenchymal markers (FSP-1, α-SMA and N-cadherin) and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers (STRO-1, CD44 and CD90) and down-regulated endothelial markers (Tie-1, VE-cadherin and CD31). Moreover, NT-3 enhanced a chondrogenesis marker (Sox9) and osteogenesis markers (OCN and Runx2) via activation of EndMT. However, both EndMT specific inhibitor and tropomyosin-related kinase C (TrkC) specific inhibitor rescued NT-3-induced HO formation and EndMT induction in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that NT-3 promotes HO formation via modulation of EndMT both in vivo and in vitro, which offers a new potential target for the prevention and therapy of HO.

Abstract
Background Angiogenesis and bone formation are vital for fracture healing. Nerve growth factor (NGF) not only promotes neuronal survival but also enhances the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in angiogenesis. However, the potential correlation of NGF and VEGF levels with fracture healing in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains unclear. Methods This study enrolled 22 patients with clavicle fracture and concomitant TBI (CFT group) and 25 patients with clavicle fracture alone (CF group). Serum NGF levels were measured with ELISA. The expressions of NGF, VEGF, and CD31 in callus tissues were measured with immunohistochemistry. Results The fracture healing time in CFT group (82.22±13.61 days) was significantly shorter than that in CF group (127±25.05 days; P<0.001). The expression of CD31, marker of blood vessels, in callus tissues of CFT group was higher compared with that of CF group. Serum NGF levels and the expression of NGF in callus tissues of CFT group were higher than those in CF group (P<0.01). The expressions of CD31, NGF, and VEGF are correlated with shorter fracture healing time. Conclusion The formation of blood vessels was increased in CFT group compared with CF group. NGF and VEGF levels were higher in CFT group than in CF group and correlated with shorter fracture healing time. Accelerated fracture healing in patients with TBI may be due to NGF- and VEGF-mediated angiogenesis at the fracture site.

Abstract
Faulty bony repair causes dysrepair of injured growth plate cartilage and bone growth defects in children; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Recently, we observed the prominent induction of neurotrophin‑3 (NT-3) and its important roles as an osteogenic and angiogenic factor promoting the bony repair. The current study investigated its roles in regulating injury site remodelling. In a rat tibial growth plate drill-hole injury repair model, NT-3 was expressed prominently in osteoblasts at the injury site. Recombinant NT-3 (rhNT-3) systemic treatment enhanced, but NT-3 immunoneutralization attenuated, expression of cartilage-removal proteases (MMP-9 and MMP-13), presence of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and expression of osteoclast protease cathepsin K, and remodelling at the injury site. NT-3 was also highly induced in cultured mineralizing rat bone marrow stromal cells, and the conditioned medium augmented osteoclast formation and resorptive activity, an ability that was blocked by presence of anti-NT-3 antibody. Moreover, NT-3 and receptor TrkC were induced during osteoclastogenesis, and rhNT-3 treatment activated TrkC downstream kinase Erk1/2 in differentiating osteoclasts although rhNT-3 alone did not affect activation of osteoclastogenic transcription factors NF-κB or NFAT in RAW264.7 osteoclast precursor cells. Furthermore, rhNT-3 treatment increased, but NT-3 neutralization reduced, expression of osteoclastogenic cytokines (RANKL, TNF-α, and IL-1) in mineralizing osteoblasts and in growth plate injury site, and rhNT-3 augmented the induction of these cytokines caused by RANKL treatment in RAW264.7 cells. Thus, injury site osteoblast-derived NT-3 is important in promoting growth plate injury site remodelling, as it induces cartilage proteases for cartilage removal and augments osteoclastogenesis and resorption both directly (involving activing Erk1/2 and substantiating RANKL-induced increased expression of osteoclastogenic signals in differentiating osteoclasts) and indirectly (inducing osteoclastogenic signals in osteoblasts).

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic noncellular structure that is crucial for maintaining tissue architecture and homeostasis. The dynamic nature of the ECM undergoes constant remodeling in response to stressors, tissue needs, and biochemical signals that are mediated primarily by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which work to degrade and build up the ECM. Research on MMP-9 has demonstrated that this proteinase exists on the cell surface of many cell types in complex with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) or Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Through a novel yet ubiquitous signaling platform, MMP-9 is found to play a crucial role not only in the direct remodeling of the ECM but also in the transactivation of associated receptors to mediate and recruit additional remodeling proteins. Here, we summarize the role of MMP-9 as it exists in a tripartite complex on the cell surface and discuss how its association with each of the TrkA receptor, Toll-like receptors, epidermal growth factor receptor, and the insulin receptor contributes to various aspects of ECM remodeling.

Abstract
Introduction Treatment of osteoporotic fractures is still challenging and an urgent need
exists for new materials, better adapted to osteoporotic bone by adjusted
Young’s modulus, appropriate surface modification and pharmaceuticals. Materials and methods Titanium-40-niobium alloys, mechanically ground or additionally etched and
titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium were analyzed in combination with
brain-derived neurotrophic factor, acetylcholine and nicotine to determine
their effects on human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro over
21 days using lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase assays, live
cell imaging and immunofluorescence microscopy. Results Cell number of human mesenchymal stem cells of osteoporotic donors was
increased after 14 d in presence of ground titanium-40-niobium or
titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium, together with brain-derived neurotrophic
factor. Cell number of human mesenchymal stem cells of non osteoporotic
donors increased after 21 d in presence of titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium
without pharmaceuticals. No significant increase was measured for ground or
etched titanium-40-niobium after 21 d. Osteoblast differentiation of
osteoporotic donors was significantly higher than in non osteoporotic donors
after 21 d in presence of etched, ground titanium-40-niobium or
titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium accompanied by all pharmaceuticals tested.
In presence of all alloys tested brain-derived neurotrophic factor,
acetylcholine and nicotine increased differentiation of cells of
osteoporotic donors and accelerated it in non osteoporotic donors. Conclusion We conclude that ground titanium-40-niobium and brain-derived neurotrophic
factor might be most suitable for subsequent in vivo
testing.

Neonatal systemic inflammation and the risk of low scores on measures of reading and mathematics achievement at age 10 years among children born extremely preterm. Int J Dev Neurosci 2018; 66:45-53.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Difficulties with reading and math occur more commonly among children born extremely preterm than among children born at term. Reasons for this are unclear. METHODS We measured the concentrations of 27 inflammatory-related and neurotrophic/angiogenic proteins (angio-neurotrophic proteins) in multiple blood specimens collected a week apart during the first postnatal month from 660 children born before the 28th week of gestation who at age 10 years had an IQ ≥ 70 and a Wechsler Individual Achievement Test 3rd edition (WIAT-III) assessment. We identified four groups of children, those who had a Z-score ≤ -1 on the Word Reading assessment only, on the Numerical Operations assessment only, on both of these assessments, and on neither, which served as the referent group. We then modeled the risk of each learning limitation associated with a top quartile concentration of each protein, and with high and lower concentrations of multiple proteins. RESULTS The protein profile of low reading scores was confined to the third and fourth postnatal weeks when increased risks were associated with high concentrations of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in the presence of low concentrations of angio-neurotrophic proteins. The profile of low math scores was very similar, except it did not include ICAM-1. In contrast, the profile of low scores on both assessments was present in each of the first four postnatal weeks. The increased risks associated with high concentrations of TNF-α in the first two weeks and of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in the next two weeks were modulated down by high concentrations of angio-neurotrophic proteins. CONCLUSIONS High concentrations of angio-neurotrophic proteins appear to reduce/moderate the risk of each learning limitation associated with systemic inflammation. The three categories of limitations have protein profiles with some similarities, and yet some differences, too.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the effect of neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) on the osteogenic differentiation of human dental follicle cells (hDFCs). METHODS hDFCs were isolated and cultured in vitro. Immunocytochemical staining was used to identify the origin of hDFCs. The effects of different NT-3 concentrations on hDFCs proliferation were detected by using CCK-8 assay. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and mRNA expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and osteocalcin (OCN) were determined to investigate the effects of NT-3 on hDFCs osteogenesis. The difference in the number of mineralized nodules was detected using alizarin red staining. RESULTS Vimentin and cytokeratin staining results showed that hDFCs originated from the mesenchymal cells. NT-3 exerted no evident effect on hDFCs proliferation. The ALP activity and the BMP-2 and OCN mRNA expression levels of hDFCs were significantly improved under treatment with different NT-3 concentrations (25, 50, and 100 ng·mL ⁻¹) compared with those in the control group. BMP-2 and OCN mRNA relative expression levels of hDFCs reached the highest when the NT-3 concentration was 100 ng·mL ⁻¹. The number of mineralized nodules reached the maximum when the hDFCs were treated with 50 and 100 ng·mL ⁻¹ NT-3. CONCLUSIONS Appropriate mass concentration of NT-3 can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hDFCs.

Cell Death Dis 2017; 8:3209. [PMID: 29238079 PMCID: PMC5870602 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-017-0034-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2017] [Revised: 09/28/2017] [Accepted: 10/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Innervation by the sensory nervous system plays a key role in skeletal development and in orchestration of bone remodeling and regeneration. However, it is unclear how and in which bone cells can sensory nerves act to control these processes. Here, we show a microfluidic coculture system comprising dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that more faithfully represents the in vivo scenario of bone sensory innervation. We report that DRG neurons promote the osteogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs, by mediating the increase of alkaline phosphatase activity and the upregulation of osteoblast-specific genes. Furthermore, we show that DRG neurons have a positive impact on Cx43 levels in MSCs during osteoblastogenesis, especially at an early stage of this process. Conversely, we described a negative impact of DRG neurons on MSCs N-cadherin expression at a later stage. Finally, we demonstrate a cytoplasmic accumulation of β-catenin translocation into the nucleus, and subsequently Lymphoid Enhancer Binding Factor 1—responsive transcriptional activation of downstream genes in cocultured MSCs. Together, our study provides a robust body of evidence that the direct interaction of DRG neurons with MSCs in a bone-like microenvironment leads to an enhancement of osteoblast differentiation potential of MSCs. The osteogenic effect of DRG neurons on MSCs is mediated through the regulation of Cx43 and N-cadherin expression and activation of the canonical/β-catenin Wnt signaling pathway.
