Abstract
Seven new formononetin derivatives (1-7) were designed and prepared from formononetin (phase II phytoestrogen). The derivatives 9-butyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]oxazin-4-one (2) and 9-(furan-3-ylmethyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]oxazin-4-one (7) promoted significant osteoblast formation by modulating the BMP/Smad pathway. Compound 7 exhibited potent antiosteoclastogenesis activity in RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells and ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in mice by regulation of the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway. Compound 7 regulated osteoblast and osteoclast simultaneously and showed better effect than the well-known drug ipriflavone in vivo, suggesting 7 as a patented antiosteoporosis candidate.

Biomedicines 2024; 12:730.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common degenerative bone disease. The treatment of osteoporosis remains a clinical challenge in light of the increasing aging population. Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are easy to obtain and have a high proliferation ability, playing an important role in the treatment of osteoporosis. However, MSCs undergo apoptosis within a short time when used in vivo; therefore, apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) have attracted increasing attention. Currently, the osteogenic effect of DPSC-derived apoVs is unknown; therefore, this study aimed to determine the role of DPSC-derived apoVs and their potential mechanisms in bone regeneration. We found that MSCs could take up DPSC-derived apoVs, which then promoted MSC osteogenesis in vitro. Moreover, apoVs could increase the trabecular bone count and bone mineral density in the mouse osteoporosis model and could promote bone formation in rat cranial defects in vivo. Mechanistically, apoVs promoted MSC osteogenesis by activating the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 signaling pathway. Consequently, we propose a novel therapy comprising DPSC-derived apoVs, representing a promising approach to treat bone loss and bone defects.

Abstract
Apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) are apoptotic-cell-derived nanosized vesicles that take on dominant roles in regulating bone homeostasis. We have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived apoVs are promising therapeutic agents for bone regeneration. However, clinical translation of MSC-derived apoVs has been hindered due to cell expansion and nuclear substance. As another appealing source for apoV therapy, blood cells could potentially eliminate these limitations. However, whether blood cells can release apoVs during apoptosis is uncertain, and the detailed characteristics and biological properties of respective apoVs are not elucidated. In this study, we showed that platelets (PLTs) could rapidly release abundant apoVs during apoptosis in a short time. To recognize the different protein expressions between PLT-derived apoVs and PLTs, we established their precise protein landscape. Furthermore, we identified six proteins specifically enriched in PLT-derived apoVs, which could be considered as specific biomarkers. More importantly, PLT-derived apoVs promoted osteogenesis of MSCs and rescued bone loss via Golgi phosphoprotein 2 (GOLPH2)-induced AKT phosphorylation, therefore, leading to the emergence of their potential in bone regeneration. In summary, we comprehensively determined characteristics of PLT-derived apoVs and confirmed their roles in bone metabolism through previously unrecognized GOPLH2-dependent AKT signaling, providing more understanding for exploring apoV-based therapy in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Both estrogen deficiency and aging may lead to osteoporosis. Developing novel drugs for treating osteoporosis is a popular research direction. We screened several potential therapeutic agents through a new deep learning-based efficacy prediction system (DLEPS) using transcriptional profiles for osteoporosis. DLEPS screening led to a potential novel drug examinee, ataluren, for treating osteoporosis. Ataluren significantly reversed bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Next, ataluren significantly increased human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hBMMSC) osteogenic differentiation without cytotoxicity, indicated by the high expression index of osteogenic differentiation genes (OCN , BGLAP, ALP, COL1A, BMP2, RUNX2). Mechanistically, ataluren exerted its function through the BMP-SMAD pathway. Furthermore, it activated SMAD phosphorylation but osteogenic differentiation was attenuated by BMP2-SMAD inhibitors or small interfering RNA of BMP2. Finally, ataluren significantly reversed bone loss in aged mice. In summary, our findings suggest that the DLEPS-screened ataluren may be a therapeutic agent against osteoporosis by aiding hBMMSC osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Maintaining normal cellular behavior is essential for the survival of organisms. One of the main mechanisms to control cellular behavior is protein phosphorylation. The process of protein phosphorylation is reversible under the regulation of protein kinases and protein phosphatases. The importance of kinases in numerous cellular processes has been well recognized. In recent years, protein phosphatases have also been demonstrated to function actively and specifically in various cellular processes and thus have gained more and more attention from researchers. In the animal kingdom, regeneration frequently occurs to replace or repair damaged or missing tissues. Emerging evidence has revealed that protein phosphatases are crucial for organ regeneration. In this review, after providing a brief overview of the classification of protein phosphatases and their functions in several representative developmental processes, we highlight the critical roles that protein phosphatases play in organ regeneration by summarizing the most recent research on the function and underlying mechanism of protein phosphatase in the regeneration of the liver, bone, neuron, and heart in vertebrates.

Abstract
Cytoskeleton has been reported to play an essential role in facilitating the viral life cycle. However, whether the host can exert its antiviral effects by modulating the cytoskeleton is not fully understood. In this study, we identified that host factor DUSP5 was upregulated after dengue virus (DENV) infection. In addition, we demonstrated that overexpression of DUSP5 remarkably inhibited DENV replication. Conversely, the depletion of DUSP5 led to an increase in viral replication. Moreover, DUSP5 was found to restrain viral entry into host cells by suppressing F-actin rearrangement via negatively regulating the ERK-MLCK-Myosin IIB signaling axis. Depletion of dephosphorylase activity of DUSP5 abolished its above inhibitory effects. Furthermore, we also revealed that DUSP5 exhibited broad-spectrum antiviral effects against DENV and Zika virus. Taken together, our studies identified DUSP5 as a key host defense factor against viral infection and uncovered an intriguing mechanism by which the host exerts its antiviral effects through targeting cytoskeleton rearrangement.

Downregulation of METTL14 improves postmenopausal osteoporosis via IGF2BP1 dependent posttranscriptional silencing of SMAD1. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:919. [PMID: 36319624 PMCID: PMC9626483 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05362-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) tends to occur in postmenopausal women, making them prone to fractures. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation plays a crucial role in OP. Herein, we aimed to explore the effects of METTL14 on osteogenesis and the underlying mechanism. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed through osteoblast markers expression, cell proliferation, ALP activity, and mineralization, which were detected by qRT-PCR, CCK-8, EdU assay, ALP staining assay, and ARS staining assay, respectively. Osteoporosis was evaluated in OVX mice using qRT-PCR, microcomputed tomography, and H&E staining assay. The levels of METTL14 and SMAD1 were measured using qRT-PCR and western blot, and their interaction was assessed using RIP and luciferase reporter assay. M6A methylation was analyzed using the Me-RIP assay. The results indicated that m6A, METTL14, and SMAD1 levels were downregulated in patients with OP and OVX mice, and upregulated in osteogenic BMSCs. Knockdown of METTL14 suppressed osteogenesis of BMSCs and reduced bone mass of OVX mice. Moreover, silencing of METTL14 positively related to SMAD1 and inhibited m6A modification of SMAD1 by suppressing its stability. IGF2BP1 was identified as the methylation reader, and which knockdown reversed the upregulation induced by SMAD1. Overexpression of SMAD1 reversed the suppression of osteogenic differentiation induced by METTL14 knockdown. In conclusion, interference with METTL14 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of BSMCs by m6A modification of SMAD1 in an IGFBP1 manner, suggesting that METTL14 might be a novel approach for improving osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Mature cystic teratomas of the ovary are the most common type of germ cell tumor, comprising 33% of ovarian tumors. Studying these tumors may result in a better understanding of their stepwise developmental processes and molecular bases and provide useful information for the development of tissue-engineering technologies. Methods In the present study, 9 mature cystic teratomas of the ovary were analyzed by whole-exome sequencing and the results were compared with the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer and dbSNP databases. Results Mutations were validated in 15 genes with alterations in all 9 (100%) samples and changes in protein coding. The top 10 mutated genes were FLG, MUC17, MUC5B, RP1L1, NBPF1, GOLGA6L2, SLC29A3, SGK223, PTGFRN, and FAM186A. Moreover, 7 variants in exons with changes in protein coding are likely of importance in the development of mature cystic teratomas of the ovary, namely PTGFRN, DUSP5, MPP2, PHLDA1, PRR21, GOLGA6L2, and KRTAP4-2. Conclusions These genetic alterations may play an important etiological role in teratoma formation. Moreover, novel mutations in DUSP5 and PHLDA1 genes found on whole-exome sequencing may help to explain the characteristics of teratomas.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is known as one of the prevalent diseases among middle-aged and elderly women. This paper revolves around the alteration of miR-211-5p in PMOP patients and its function in osteogenic differentiation. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was implemented to check the miR-211-5p level in the plasma of PMOP patients. Knockdown and overexpression experiments were done to verify the influence of miR-211-5p on human-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay kit was taken to test ALP activity. Alizarin red staining monitored osteogenic differentiation, while oil red O staining examined adipogenesis. Western blot confirmed the profiles of osteoclastogenesis-concerned factors (TRAP, NFAT2, c-FOS, Runx2, OCN, CTSK), dual specific phosphatase 6 (DUSP6), ERK, SMAD, and β-catenin. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were implemented to identify the association between miR-211-5p and DUSP6. Our data displayed that miR-211-5p was down-regulated in the PMOP patients’ plasma (in contrast with the healthy controls), and it was positively correlated with Vit-D and BMD levels. miR-211-5p overexpression vigorously facilitated hMSC osteogenic differentiation, while miR-211-5p inhibition contributed to the opposite situation. miR-211-5p initiated the ERK/SMAD/β-catenin pathway and repressed DUSP6’s expression. Overexpression of DUSP6 counteracted the miR-211-5p-mediated function to a great extent and inactivated ERK/SMAD/β-catenin, whereas enhancing ERK phosphorylation weakened the DUSP6 overexpression-induced function. Consequently, this research unveiled that miR-211-5p promotes osteogenic differentiation by interfering with the DUSP6-mediated ERK/SMAD/β-catenin pathway.

STEM CELLS (DAYTON, OHIO) 2021; 39:1395-1409.

Abstract
Dual‐specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are defined by their capability to dephosphorylate both phosphoserine/phosphothreonine (pSer/pThr) and phosphotyrosine (pTyr). DUSP5, a member of DUSPs superfamily, is located in the nucleus and plays crucially regulatory roles in the signaling pathway transduction. In our present study, we discover that DUSP5 significantly promotes osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by activating SMAD1 signaling pathway. Mechanistically, DUSP5 physically interacts with the phosphatase domain of small C‐terminal phosphatase 1/2 (SCP1/2, SMAD1 phosphatases) by the linker region. In addition, we further confirm that DUSP5 activates SMAD1 signaling through a SCP1/2‐dependent manner. Specifically, DUSP5 attenuates the SCP1/2‐SMAD1 interaction by competitively binding to SCP1/2, which is responsible for the SMAD1 dephosphorylation, and thus results in the activation of SMAD1 signaling. Importantly, DUSP5 expression in mouse bone marrow MSCs is significantly reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in which osteogenesis is highly passive, and overexpression of Dusp5 via tail vein injection reverses the bone loss of OVX mice efficiently. Collectively, this work demonstrates that the linker region of DUSP5 maybe a novel chemically modifiable target for controlling MSCs fate choices and for osteoporosis treatment.
