Surface Co-presentation of BMP-2 and integrin selective ligands at the nanoscale favors α 5β 1 integrin-mediated adhesion. Biomaterials 2020; 267:120484. [PMID: 33142116 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.120484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Here we present the use of surface nanopatterning of covalently immobilized BMP-2 and integrin selective ligands to determine the specificity of their interactions in regulating cell adhesion and focal adhesion assembly. Gold nanoparticle arrays carrying single BMP-2 dimers are prepared by block-copolymer micellar nanolithography and azide-functionalized integrin ligands (cyclic-RGD peptides or α5β1 integrin peptidomimetics) are immobilized on the surrounding polyethylene glycol alkyne by click chemistry. Compared to BMP-2 added to the media, surface immobilized BMP-2 (iBMP-2) favors the spatial segregation of adhesion clusters and enhances focal adhesion (FA) size in cells adhering to α5β1 integrin selective ligands. Moreover, iBMP-2 copresented with α5β1 integrin ligands induces the recruitment of αvβ3 integrins in FAs. When copresented with RGD, iBMP-2 induces the assembly of a higher number of FAs, which are not affected by α5β1 integrin blocking. Our dual-functionalized platforms offer the possibility to study the crosstalk between integrins and BMP receptors, and more in general they could be used to address the spatial regulation of growth factors and adhesion receptors crosstalk on biomimetic surfaces.

Abstract
Laminin 332 is crucial in the biology of epithelia. This large extracellular matrix protein consists of the heterotrimeric assembly of three subunits - α3, β3, and γ2 - and its multifunctionality relies on a number of extracellular proteolytic processing events. Laminin 332 is central to normal epithelium homeostasis by sustaining cell adhesion, polarity, proliferation, and differentiation. It also supports a major function in epithelial tissue formation, repair, and regeneration by buttressing cell migration and survival and basement membrane assembly. Interest in this protein increased after the discovery that its expression is perturbed in tumor cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and the tumor microenvironment. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the established involvement of the laminin 332 γ2 chain in tumor invasiveness and discusses the role of its α3 and β3 subunits.

Abstract
Nano-structured and micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coatings were produced on polished titanium by the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique. This study was conducted to screen a suitable structured TiO2 coating for osteoblast adhesion and differentiation in dental implants. The formulation was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and wettability testing. Adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MG63 cells were analysed by SEM, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and quantitative real-time PCR. The micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coating with both slots and pores showed the best morphology and wettability. XRD analysis revealed that rutile predominated along with a minor amount of anatase in both TiO2 coatings. Adhesion and extension of MG63 cells on the micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coating were the most favourable. MG63 cells showed higher growth rates on the micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coating at 1 and 3 days. Osteogenic-related gene expression was markedly increased in the micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coating group compared with the polished titanium group at 7, 14 and 21 days. These results revealed the micro/nano-hierarchical structured TiO2 coating as a promising surface modification and suitable biomaterial for use with dental implants.

Abstract
Application of stem cells in combination with nanofibrous substrates is an interesting biomimetic approach for enhanced regeneration of damaged tissues such as bone and cartilage. The investigation of the complex interplay between nanotopographical cues of niche and noncoding RNAs in stem cells fate is an effective tool to find a new strategy for enhancing the induction of osteogenesis. In this study, we investigated the effects of aligned and random orientations of nanofibers as a natural ECM-mimicking environment on the network of noncoding RNA in mesenchymal stem cells. Aligned and randomly oriented Ploy (L-lactide) PLLA scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinning. Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hASCs) were isolated from adipose tissue and were cultured on surfaces of these scaffolds. Their capacity to support hMSCs proliferation was also investigated by MTT assay and the expression of c-Myc gene. Then, after 7, 14 and 21 days, the osteogenic commitment of hMSCs and the miRNA regulatory network in BMP signaling pathway were evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, extracellular calcium deposition, and bone-related gene activation by Real-Time PCR. Furthermore, osteogenic differentiation was evaluated with regard to their noncoding RNA network. Our results for the first time showed an interaction between nanotopographical cues and miRNA activity in hMSCs. We found that the nanotopographical cues could be used to influence the osteogenic differentiation process of hMSCs through the modulation of lncRNAs and miR-125b as negative regulators of osteogenesis as well as the H19 modulator BMP signaling pathway that acts as a miRNA sponge. Moreover, we also demonstrated for the first time that MEG3 as a long noncoding RNA is controlled by miR-125b and microRNA-triggered lncRNA decay mechanism. This strategy seems to be an important tool for controlling stem cell fate in engineered tissues and provide new insights into most biocompatible scaffolds for bone-graft substitutes.

Abstract
The micro/nano hybrid structure is considered to be a biomaterial characteristic to stimulate osteogenesis by mimicking the three-dimensional structure of the bone matrix. However, the mechanism of the hybrid structure induced osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is still unknown. For elucidating the mechanisms, one of the challenge is to directly fabricate micro/nano hybrid structure on bioceramics because of its brittleness. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics with the micro/nano hybrid structure were firstly fabricated via a hydrothermal treatment and template method, and the effect of the different surface structures on the expression of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathways and cell-cell communication was investigated. Interestingly, the results suggested that the osteogenic differentiation induced by micro/nano structures was modulated first through activating integrins and then further activating BMP2 signaling pathway and cell-cell communication, while activated BMP2 could in turn activate integrins and Cx43-related cell-cell communication. Furthermore, differences in activation of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathway, and gap junction-mediated cell-cell communication were observed, in which nanorod and micropattern structures activated different integrin subunits, BMP downstream receptors and Cx43. This finding may explain the synergistic effect of the micro/nano hybrid structure on the activation of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Based on our study, we concluded that the different activation mechanisms of micro- and nano-structures led to the synergistic stimulatory effect on integrin activation and osteogenesis, in which not only the direct contact of cells on micro/nano structure played an important role, but also other surface characteristics such as protein adsorption might contribute to the bioactive effect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The micro/nano hybrid structure has been found to have synergistic bioactivity on osteogenesis. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate the hybrid structure directly on the bioceramics, and the role of micro- and nano-structure, in particular the mechanism of the micro/nano-hybrid structure induced stem cell differentiation is still unknown. In this study, we firstly fabricated hydroxyapatite bioceramics with the micro/nano hybrid structure, and then investigated the effect of different surface structure on expression of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathways and cell-cell communication. Interestingly, we found that the osteogenic differentiation induced by structure was modulated first through activating integrins and then further activating BMP2 signaling pathway and cell-cell communication, and activated BMP2 could in turn activate some integrin subunits and Cx43-related cell-cell communication. Furthermore, differences in activation of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathway, and gap junction-mediated cell-cell communication were observed, in which nanorod and micropattern structures activated different integrin subunits, BMP downstream receptors and Cx43.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a multifunctional cytokine, capable of governing several cellular functions, including proliferation, motility, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been shown to facilitate tissue repair, postnatal neovascularization, and tumor associated angiogenesis. Nevertheless, the impact of BMP-2 on angiogenesis of human EPCs has largely remained a mystery. In this study, we found that BMP-2 promoted cell migration and tube formation of EPCs in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating BMP-2 induced in vitro angiogenesis in human EPCs. Furthermore, BMP-2 significantly increased microvessel formation in Matrigel plug assay, and BMP-2 antagonist noggin prevented BMP-2-induced in vivo angiogenesis. Mechanistic investigations showed BMP-2 profoundly induced the expression of Id-1 and integrin α6 as well as EPCs angiogenesis by activating PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK signaling pathways. Moreover, knockdown of Id-1 and integrin α6 by siRNA transfection obviously attenuated BMP-2-indueced tube formation of EPCs. These results suggest that BMP-2 promotes angiogenesis in human EPCs through the activation of PI3K/Akt, MEK/ERK, and Id-1/integrin α6 signaling cascades. This is the first demonstration that BMP-2 exhibits the angiogenesis property on human EPCs. BMP-2 might serve as the potential therapeutic target for treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Literature review. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and malignancy. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The use of rhBMP-2 in spine surgery has been the topic of much debate as studies assessing the association between rhBMP-2 and malignancy have come to conflicting conclusions. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using the PubMed-National Library of Medicine/National Institute of Health databases. Only non-clinical studies directly addressing BMP-2 and cancer were included. Articles were categorized by study type (animal, in vitro cell line/human/animal), primary malignancy, cancer attributes, and whether BMP-2 was pro-malignancy or not. RESULTS A total of 4,131 articles were reviewed. Of those, 515 articles made reference to both BMP-2 and cancer, 99 of which were found to directly examine the role of BMP-2 in cancer. Seventy-five studies were in vitro and 24 were animal studies. Forty-three studies concluded that BMP-2 enhanced cancer function, whereas 18 studies found that BMP-2 suppressed malignancy. Thirty-six studies did not examine whether BMP-2 enhanced or suppressed cancer function. Fifteen studies demonstrated BMP-2 dose dependence (9 enhancement, 6 suppression) and one study demonstrated no dose dependence. Nine studies demonstrated BMP-2 time dependence (6 enhancement, 3 suppression). However, no study demonstrated that BMP-2 caused cancer de novo. CONCLUSION Currently, conflicting data exist with regard to the effect of exogenous BMP-2 on cancer. The majority of studies addressed the role of BMP-2 in prostate (17%), breast (17%), and lung (15%) cancers. Most were in vitro studies (75%) and examined cancer invasiveness and metastatic potential (37%). Of 99 studies, there was no demonstration of BMP-2 causing cancer de novo. However, 43% of studies suggested that BMP-2 enhances tumor function, motivating more definitive research on the topic that also includes clinically meaningful dose- and time-dependence.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been applied in bone regeneration therapy due to their significant osteogenic activity, however, the complicated processing and high cost in producing recombinant BMP have limited their use in the clinic. In this study, we have developed a simple method to prepare recombinant human BMP7-BMP2 fusion protein with a flexible peptide linker (rhBMP7-2). The rhBMP7-2 protein is expressed efficiently in Escherichia coli, and the denatured protein purified by anion exchange chromatography then refolded by dialysis. The yield was about 6.8 mg per gram of wet cell weight. The bioactivity of re-folded rhBMP7-2 was measured by alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red staining using both C2C12 and MC3T3-E1 cells, and also using the rat subcutaneous ectopic bone formation model. High level osteogenic activity was found in all the assays tested demonstrating the production of corrected folded and active rhBMP7-2 protein.

Abstract
Interaction of cells with extracellular matrix is an essential event for differentiation, proliferation and activity of osteoblasts. In bone, binding of osteoblasts to bone matrix is required to determine specific activities of the cells and to synthesize matrix bone proteins. Integrins are the major cell receptors involved in the cell linkage to matrix proteins such as fibronectin, type I collagen and vitronectin, via the RGD-sequences. In this study, cultures of osteoblast-like cells (Saos-2) were done on coated glass coverslips in various culture conditions: DMEM alone or DMEM supplemented with poly-L-lysine (PL), fetal calf serum (FCS), fibronectin (FN), vitronectin (VN) and type I collagen (Col-I). The aim of the study was to determine the specific effect of these bone matrix proteins on cell adherence and morphology and on the cytoskeleton status. Morphological characteristics of cultured cells were studied using scanning electron microscopy and image analysis. The heterogeneity of cytoskeleton was studied using fractal analysis (skyscrapers and blanket algorithms) after specific preparation of cells to expose the cytoskeleton. FAK and MAPK signaling pathways were studied by western blotting in these various culture conditions. Results demonstrated that cell adhesion was reduced with PL and VN after 240 min. After 60 min of adhesion, cytoskeleton organization was enhanced with FN, VN and Col-I. No difference in FAK phosphorylation was observed but MAPK phosphorylation was modulated by specific adhesion on extracellular proteins. These results indicate that culture conditions modulate cell adhesion, cytoskeleton organization and intracellular protein pathways according to extracellular proteins present for adhesion.

Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated the possibility to regulate cellular behavior by manipulating the specific characteristics of biomaterials including the physical features and chemical properties. To investigate the synergistic effect of chemical factors and surface topography on the growth behavior of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), bone morphorgenic protein 2 (BMP2) was immobilized onto porous alumina substrates with different pore sizes. The BMP2-immobilized alumina substrates were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Growth behavior and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs cultured on the different substrates were investigated. Cell adhesion and morphological changes were observed with SEM, and the results showed that the BMP2-immobilized alumina substrate was able to promote adhesion and spreading of MSCs. MTT assay and immunofluorescence staining of integrin β1 revealed that the BMP2-immobilized alumina substrates were favorable for cell growth. To evaluate the differentiation of MSCs, osteoblastic differentiation markers, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization, were investigated. Compared with those of untreated alumina substrates, significantly higher ALP activities and mineralization were detected in cells cultured on BMP2-immobilized alumina substrates. The results suggested that surface functionalization of nanoporous alumina substrates with BMP2 was beneficial for cell growth and osteogenic differentiation. With the approach of immobilizing growth factors onto material substrates, it provided a new insight to exploit novel biofunctional materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
NELL1 is a secretory osteogenic protein containing several structural motifs that suggest that it functions as an extracellular matrix component. To determine the mechanisms underlying NELL1-induced osteoblast differentiation, we examined the cell-adhesive activity of NELL1 using a series of recombinant NELL1 proteins. We demonstrated that NELL1 promoted osteoblastic cell adhesion through at least three cell-binding domains located in the C-terminal region of NELL1. Adhesion of cells to NELL1 was strongly inhibited by function-blocking antibodies against integrin α3 and β1 subunits, suggesting that osteoblastic cells adhered to NELL1 through integrin α3β1. Further, focal adhesion kinase activation is involved in NELL1 signaling.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-β superfamily, and some studies demonstrated that BMPs enhance tumorigenesis and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to identify whether BMP-2 levels are elevated in the serum of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and are associated with the stage and overall survival. Blood samples from 150 patients with NSCLC were analyzed. Also, 69 healthy volunteers were tested as control group. In NSCLC patients, whole blood was obtained before beginning any treatment modalities, and serum BMP-2 levels were quantified by commercially available ELISA kit. The NSCLC group demonstrated a significantly higher level of serum BMP-2 than the control group. (The median levels were 25.50 pg/ml for the control group and 72.23 pg/ml for the NSCLC group, P < 0.001). The median serum BMP-2 level in the advanced stage group (stage IIIb or IV) was significantly more elevated than that of the localized stage group (stage I, II, IIIa) (75.66 pg/ml and 44.36 pg/ml, P = 0.006). Patients with multiple metastatic sites (≥5) showed significantly higher level of serum BMP-2 than the patients with less than 5 metastatic sites. (79.39 pg/ml vs. 59.70 pg/ml, P = 0.013), and the median serum BMP-2 level from the patients with multiple metastatic organs (≥3) was significantly higher than that from the patients with single or two metastatic organs (<2) (89.39 pg/ml vs. 66.90 pg/ml, P = 0.001). Moreover, the patients with relatively lower BMP-2 level (≤70 pg/ml) had longer median overall survival than the patients with higher BMP-2 level (>70 pg/ml). (525 days vs. 260 days). One-year survival rate for the patients with lower BMP-2 level was also higher than that for the patients with higher BMP-2 level. (59.6% versus 40.2%, P = 0.034). The serum BMP-2 level is positively correlated with the stage and metastatic burden and maybe a probable predictor of survival in the NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Biosilica is a natural polymer, synthesized by the poriferan enzyme silicatein from monomeric silicate substrates. Biosilica stimulates mineralizing activity and gene expression of SaOS-2 cells. To study its effect on the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA), SaOS-2 cells were grown on different silicatein/biosilica-modified substrates (bone slices, Ca-P-coated coverslips, glass coverslips). Growth on these substrates induced the formation of HA nodules, organized in longitudinal arrays or spherical spots. Nodules of sizes above 1 μm were composed of irregularly arranged HA prism-like nanorods, formed by aggregates of three to eight SaOS-2 cells. Moreover, growth on silicatein/biosilica-modified substrates elicited increased [(3)H]dT incorporation into DNA, indicative of enhanced cell proliferation. Consequently, an in vitro-based bioassay was established to determine the ratio between [(3)H]dT incorporation and HA formation. This ratio was significantly higher for cells that grew on silicatein/biosilica-modified substrates than for cells on Ca-P-coated coverslips or plain glass slips. Hence, we propose that this ratio of in vitro-determined parameters reflects the osteogenic effect of different substrates on bone-forming cells. Finally, qRT-PCR analyses demonstrated that growth of SaOS-2 cells on a silicatein/biosilica matrix upregulated BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2, inducer of bone formation) expression. In contrast, TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, modulator of bone resorption) expression remained unaffected. We conclude that biosilica shows pronounced osteogenicity in vitro, qualifying this material for studies of bone replacement also in vivo.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) were first studied as growth factors or morphogens of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. These growth molecules, originally associated with bone and cartilage development, are now known to play an important role in morphogenesis and homeostasis in many other tissues. More recently, significant contributions from BMPs, their receptors, and interacting molecules have been linked to carcinogenesis and tumor progression. On the other hand, BMPs can sometimes function as a tumor suppressor. Our report highlights these new roles in the pathogenesis of cancer that may suggest novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was reported to enhance migration, invasion, and metastasis at the various types of cancer cells. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of BMP-2 in progression of gastric cancer. Forty-four patients with operable gastric cancer were enrolled. Also, twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group. All patients received gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and surgical staging was performed. Whole blood was obtained preoperatively in all patients, and serum BMP-2 levels were quantified by commercially available ELISA kit. Immunohistochemical stain for BMP-2 in all gastric cancer tissues was performed using tissue microarray. All patients showed increased serum BMP-2 levels compared with control group, when upper normal limit was defined as the mean of control serum level+2×standard deviation. The mean serum BMP-2 level of lymph node positive group was significantly elevated than that of lymph node-negative group (382.7 pg/ml, 95% CI 341.99-423.4 pg/ml vs 211.69 pg/ml, 95% CI 191.09-232.29 pg/ml, P<0.001). The serum BMP-2 was strongly correlated with the depth of invasion (T stage) and the extent of regional lymph node involvement (N stage) (r=0.662, P<0.001 and r=0.831, P<0.001, respectively). Moreover, the serum BMP-2 was correlated with the grade of tumor histology(r=0.421, P=0.008). Immunohistochemical stain showed the specific expression of BMP-2 in cancer cells compared with normal gastric mucosa. In conclusion, serum BMP-2 is associated with progression from early localized gastric cancer to locally advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Cell migration is essential for both organogenesis and tumor progression. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are reported to be critical for not only bone formation but also tumor invasion. Here, we found that treatment with recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) enhanced the haptotactic response of murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 and osteosarcoma Dunn cells to various extracellular matrix (ECM) components, including fibronectin, type I collagen, and laminin-1. Function-blocking antibody against integrin alpha5beta1 partially inhibited haptotaxis to fibronectin, suggesting that the response was propagated via these integrins. rhBMP-2 slightly increased the expression level of integrin beta1, and enhanced the speed of cell spreading on fibronectin, focal adhesion formation and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Tyr397. By means of sucrose gradient flotation, incorporation of integrin beta1 in fractions of detergent (CHAPS) resistant membrane was increased when the cells were treated with rhBMP-2. Further, treatment with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin to deplete membrane cholesterol abrogated the effect of rhBMP-2 on haptotaxis, and exogenously added cholesterol reversed this inhibitory effect. Collectively, these results provide insights into the mechanism by which BMP signaling enhances cell migration by modulating fibronectin-integrin beta1 signaling via cholesterol enriched membrane microdomains, lipid rafts.

Abstract
In vitro studies have proved the topographic dependency upon osteogenesis on titanium plate by investigating the cell-adhesion, -shape, -proliferation, -differentiation, ALP activity and osteocalcin production of osteogenic stem cells, MG36, MC3T3-E1 and wild strains of bone formative cells from animal and human. However, this in vivo study on bone growth around cp titanium dental implants under masticatory loading did not demonstrate significant difference among the different surface roughness in the range of Ra 0.4-1.9 microm, Rz 2.8-11.2 microm, Rmax 3.6-28.1 microm and Sm 2.9-41.0 microm, which was estimated by measuring the bone contacts, bone occupancies and bone bonding strengths at the implant/bone marrow interface. It is revealed that the topographic dependency on the osteogenetic activity is apt to be covered with wide variation in bone healing potential under the clinical condition with functional biting load.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Both integrins and BMP-2 exert similar effects on osteoblasts. We examined the relationship between the alphav-containing integrins (alphavbeta) and BMP-2 in osteoblast function. BMP-2 stimulates alphavbeta expression. BMP-2 receptors co-localize/overlap with alphavbeta integrins, and the intact function of alphavbeta is essential in BMP-2 activity. INTRODUCTION Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 not only induces osteoblast differentiation and bone matrix mineralization, but also stimulates osteoblast migration on and adhesion to bone matrix proteins. The alphavbeta- and beta1- (alphabeta1) containing integrins mediate osteoblast interaction with many bone matrix proteins and play important roles in osteoblast adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Because alphavbeta integrins and BMP-2 share common effects on osteoblasts, we analyzed their relationship in osteoblast function. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of BMP-2 on integrin expression were determined by surface labeling/immunoprecipitation and cell adhesion to matrix proteins. Confocal analysis of the immunostained cells and co-immunoprecipitation of cell extracts were used to study the spatial relationship between integrins and BMP-2 receptors. A function-blocking anti-alphavbeta integrin antibody (L230) was employed to investigate the roles of alphavbeta integrins in BMP-2 function. RESULTS Human osteoblasts (HOBs) express alphabeta1, alphavbeta3, alphavbeta5, alphavbeta6, and alphavbeta8 integrins at focal adhesion sites. BMP-2 increases the levels of these integrins on osteoblast surface and enhances HOB adhesion to osteopontin and vitronectin. Immunoprecipitation and immunostaining analyses show that BMP-2 receptors co-localize or overlap with alphavbeta and alphabeta1 integrins. Incubation of HOBs with L230 abolishes the antiproliferative effect of BMP-2 and reduces the capacity of BMP-2 to stimulate alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein. Furthermore, L230 prevents BMP-2 induction of matrix mineralization. Although BMP-2 retains its receptor-binding capability in the presence of L230, BMP-2 stimulation of Smad signaling is abolished by L230. CONCLUSION BMP-2 upregulates the expression of alphavbeta integrins, and these integrins, in turn, play a critical role in BMP-2 function in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Alpha3beta1 integrin has been considered to be a mysterious adhesion molecule due to the pleiotropy in its ligand-binding specificity. However, recent studies have identified laminin isoforms as high-affinity ligands for this integrin, and demonstrated that alpha3beta1 integrin plays a number of essential roles in development and differentiation, mainly by mediating the establishment and maintenance of epithelial tissues. Furthermore, alpha3beta1 integrin is also implicated in many other biological phenomena, including cell growth and apoptosis, angiogenesis and neural functions. This integrin receptor forms complexes with various other membrane proteins, such as the transmembrane-4 superfamily proteins (tetraspanins), cytoskeletal proteins and signaling molecules. Recently, lines of evidence have been reported showing that complex formation regulates integrin functions in cell adhesion and migration, signal transduction across cell membranes, and cytoskeletal organization. In addition to these roles in physiological processes, alpha3beta1 integrin performs crucial functions in various pathological processes, especially in wound healing, tumor invasion and metastasis, and infection by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Arrest of circulating tumor cells in distant organs is required for hematogenous metastasis, but the tumor cell surface molecules responsible have not been identified. Here, we show that the tumor cell alpha3beta1 integrin makes an important contribution to arrest in the lung and to early colony formation. These analyses indicated that pulmonary arrest does not occur merely due to size restriction, and raised the question of how the tumor cell alpha3beta1 integrin contacts its best-defined ligand, laminin (LN)-5, a basement membrane (BM) component. Further analyses revealed that LN-5 is available to the tumor cell in preexisting patches of exposed BM in the pulmonary vasculature. The early arrest of tumor cells in the pulmonary vasculature through interaction of alpha3beta1 integrin with LN-5 in exposed BM provides both a molecular and a structural basis for cell arrest during pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGFbeta superfamily of cytokines that are involved in development, differentiation, and disease. In an analysis of normal ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) and ovarian cancer (OC) cells, we observed BMP4 mRNA expression and found that primary OC cells produce mature BMP4. In addition, each member of the downstream signaling pathway was expressed in primary OSE and OC cells. Smad1 was phosphorylated and underwent nuclear translocation in normal OSE and OC cells upon treatment with BMP4. Interestingly, the BMP target genes ID1 and ID3 were up-regulated 10- to 15-fold in primary OC cells, compared with a 2- to 3-fold increase in normal OSE. The growth of several primary OC cells was relatively unaltered by BMP4 treatment; however, long-term BMP4 treatment of primary OC cells resulted in decreased cell density as well as increased cell spreading and adherence. These data demonstrate the existence and putative function of BMP signaling in normal OSE and OC cells, and thus the continued examination of BMP4 signaling in the regulation of these two processes will be critical to further our current understanding of the role of BMP biology in OC pathogenesis.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that (at least) matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, -8, -9, -14 and -20 are expressed by human odontoblasts. Here, we analysed the expression of 19 MMPs and their specific tissue inhibitors (TIMP)-1, -2 and -3) -1, -2 and -3 in mature human odontoblasts and pulp tissue. Since MMP-20 is almost exclusively expressed by the dentin-pulp complex cells, we further analysed the effect of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMPs)-2 on its expression. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 served as a positive control for growth factor responsiveness. It was found that MMP-1, -2, -9, -10, -11, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -19, -20 and -23, in addition to TIMP-1, -2 and -3 were expressed by both odontoblasts and pulp tissue. Neither MMP-3 nor MMP-12 were expressed in odontoblasts or pulp tissue, and MMP-7, -8, -24 and -25 were expressed only in the odontoblasts; MMP-2, -10, -11, -14 and -20 were expressed more abundantly by odontoblasts, whereas pulp tissue expressed more MMP-13 and MMP-17. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (1 ng ml(-1)) and BMP-2 (100 ng ml(-1)) did not markedly affect MMP-20 mRNA expression. In contrast, TGF-beta1 alone and with BMP-2 significantly upregulated MMP-9 mRNA by 2.4-fold and by 2.6-fold, respectively, in odontoblasts, while in pulp tissue no effects could be detected. The wide-scale expression of MMPs and TIMPs by mature human odontoblasts and pulp tissue suggests that they may participate in dentin matrix organization prior to mineralization, and that growth factors may further control dentin matrix modeling by differentially regulating individual MMPs.

Abstract
The skeletal extracellular matrix produced by osteoblasts contains the glycoprotein fibronectin (Fn), which regulates the adhesion, differentiation, and function of osteoblasts. Fn fibrillogenesis is involved in the process of bone mineralization. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) can be isolated from organic bone matrix and are able to initiate de novo cartilage and bone formation. In this study, the effect of BMP-4 on Fn fibrillogenesis in cultured rat osteoblasts was examined. BMP-4 enhanced Fn synthesis and extracellular Fn assembly in primary cultured osteoblasts. In addition, the extracellular assembly of Fn from exogenously applied soluble human Fn was also increased by BMP-4. It has been reported that alpha5beta1 integrin is related to Fn fibrillogenesis. The synthesis of both alpha5 and beta1 integrins was upregulated by BMP-4. Immunocytochemistry showed that the clustering of alpha5 and beta1 integrins was also increased by BMP-4. BMP-4 increased fibril formation of Fn and the adhesion of osteoblasts onto Fn matrix, which was inhibited by disintegrin triflavin and Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptide. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was increased by BMP-4. Enhancement of extracellular Fn fibrillogenesis and the mRNA expression of beta1 integrin by BMP-4 were inhibited by ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059. These results suggest that the enhancement of extracellular Fn fibrillogenesis by BMP-4 in cultured osteoblasts is related to the increase of the synthesis of Fn and clustering of alpha5 and beta1 integrins. ERK is involved in the signaling pathway of BMP-4 in regulating Fn fibrillogenesis in osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate carcinoma (PC) frequently metastasizes to bone, where it causes significant morbidity and mortality. Stromal elements in the primary and metastatic target organs are important mediators of tumor cell intravasation, chemoattraction, adhesion to target organ microvascular endothelium, extravasation, and growth at the metastatic site. METHODS The role of stromal factors in bone metastasis was determined with a cyclic DNA microarray comparison of a bone-derived cell PC cell line with a soft tissue-derived cell PC cell line and by evaluating the effects of selected stromal components on PC cell chemotaxis, cell adhesion to human bone marrow endothelium (HBME), and PC cell growth. RESULTS The authors demonstrate that PC cells express protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1; thrombin receptor), and its expression is up-regulated in PC compared with normal prostate tissue. In addition, this overexpression was very pronounced in bone-derived PC cell lines (VCaP and PC-3) compared with soft tissue PC cell lines (DUCaP, DU145, and LNCaP). The authors report that bone stromal factors, including stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and collagen Type I peptides, are chemoattractants for PC cells, and they demonstrate that some of these factors (e.g., extracellular matrix components, transforming growth factor beta, bone morphogenic proteins [BMPs], and SDF-1) significantly alter PC-HBME interaction in vitro. Finally, stromal factors, such as BMPs, can regulate the proliferation of PC cells in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Soluble and insoluble elements of the stroma are involved in multiple steps of PC metastasis to bone. The authors hypothesize that PAR1 may play a central role in prostate tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily regulating a large variety of biologic responses in many different cells and tissues during embryonic development and postnatal life. BMP exert their biologic effects via binding to two types of serine/threonine kinase BMP receptors, activation of which leads to phosphorylation and translocation into the nucleus of intracellular signaling molecules, including Smad1, Smad5, and Smad8 ("canonical" BMP signaling pathway). BMP effects are also mediated by activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway ("noncanonical" BMP Signaling pathway). BMP activity is regulated by diffusible BMP antagonists that prevent BMP interactions with BMP receptors thus modulating BMP effects in tissues. During skin development, BMPs its receptors and antagonists show stringent spatiotemporal expressions patterns to achieve proper regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the epidermis and in the hair follicle. In normal postnatal skin, BMP are involved in the control of epidermal homeostasis, hair follicle growth, and melanogenesis. Furthermore, BMP are implicated in a variety of pathobiologic processes in skin, including wound healing, psoriasis, and carcinogenesis. Therefore, BMPs represent new important players in the molecular network regulating homeostasis in normal and diseased skin. Pharmacologic modulation of BMP signaling may be used as a new approach for managing skin and hair disorders.

Abstract
Initial interactions of rat bone marrow (RBM) cells with smooth titanium, rough titanium or calcium phosphate coated substrates were tested. Cells were seeded onto the substrates, and attachment, integrin expression and spreading and morphology were studied. We found no difference in attachment of RBM cells to the different materials. We did find differences in the percentage of attached cells within a certain time between replicate runs of the experiments. RBM cells on all materials express alpha1, alpha3, alpha5, alpha6 and beta1 subunits. Again there was a large difference in expression patterns on RBM cells in different runs. No difference was found in expression on the various materials. For alpha1, alpha5, alpha6 and beta1, no difference was found in expression between attached and unattached cells. Expression of alpha3 was similar on attached and unattached cells during early culture. At the end of culture, alpha3 expression was downregulated for attached cells and not for unattached cells. This resulted in a higher expression of alpha3 for unattached cells compared to attached cells. Cells did spread on all materials, and reached a larger cell size on smooth titanium than on the rough materials. Morphology of the cells on the materials differed. On smooth titanium, cells usually showed a compact cell body with short cellular extensions. On the rough materials, cells often showed elongated shapes, with many thin cellular extensions. From this we conclude that the substrate surface characteristics of the materials we used do not influence attachment or integrin expression during the initial cell-material interactions. On the other hand, spreading behavior and cell morphology do depend on substrate surface characteristics.

Abstract
A chemical exchange of the silica gel layer forming on the surface of bioactive glasses is thought to be the principal reaction for bone-bioactive glass bonding. The contribution of biological molecules on cell-bioactive glass interaction is largely unknown. To further analyze the mechanisms involved in efficient bone bonding to bioactive glass, Saos-2 osteoblastic cells with proven osteogenic phenotype were cultured for 4, 7 and 14 days on two bioactive glasses with different Si contents. Culture plates and dishes made of bioactive (BAG, 53 % SiO2), biocompatible (BCG, 58% SiO2) and control (GO) glasses were extensively conditioned with phosphate buffer and DMEM medium before seeding the cells. Northern hybridization was used for analysis of mRNA levels of collagen type I (Col-I), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). A significant increase was observed in Col-I mRNA levels in cells grown on the two bioactive glasses when compared with those grown on controls at 4 and 7 days (p < 0.04). The mRNA level for ALP in the cultures of bioactive glasses-made plates and dishes was also increased over control at 7 days (p < 0.02) and remained this way between BAG and G0 at 14 days. Striking differences in BMP-2 mRNA levels existed between BAG and G0 plates and dishes at 7 days (p < 0.05). BMP-2 mRNA level in BAG group was higher than in BCG group at 4, 7 and 14 days, but without statistical significance. Saos-2 osteoblastic cells with strong ALP staining were mostly seen on BAG plates under a light microscope. In confocal microscopy, a bright FITC-stained F-actin ring was present in the cytoplasm of cells grown on BAG dish, demonstrating an active functional status. Stimulation of the expression of BMP-2 and other bone mRNAs by bioactive glasses in osteoblastic cells suggests biological involvement of bone related growth factors, peptides and cytokines in bone-bioactive glass bonding.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins, which are capable of inducing mesenchymal tissue to form bone in mammals, have been implicated as important in normal skeletal development. The expression of bone morphogenetic proteins and their receptors were studied in 36 osteosarcoma specimens, six Ewing's sarcomas, 20 synovial sarcomas, and 20 chondrosarcomas by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and the findings were correlated with clinical data. Bone morphogenetic protein-2, and -4 messages were detected in most sarcoma samples. Bone morphogenetic protein-6 expression was detected in 22 of 32 osteosarcomas and seven of eight chondrosarcomas. Bone morphogenetic protein-7 and receptor IB were not detected in sarcoma samples but were detected in three osteosarcoma cell lines and one malignant fibrous histiocytoma cell line. Expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptor II was found in 25 of 36 osteosarcomas, eight of 20 chondrosarcomas, four of six Ewing's sarcomas, and 15 of 20 synovial sarcoma samples. Expression of bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor was found to correlate with metastasis in osteosarcomas, which suggests that the bone morphogenetic protein pathway may participate in tumor aggressiveness or progression. The expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptor II in metastatic synovial sarcoma and dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma lesions also supports this hypothesis. The current study showed that the ligands for bone morphogenetic protein receptors, bone morphogenetic proteins-2, -4, and -6 also are expressed in osteosarcoma and other sarcoma tissues, indicating a potential for autocrine or paracrine growth stimulation in these tumors.

Abstract
Studies in several cell types indicate that the actions of integrin receptors for extracellular matrix and receptors for growth factors are synergistic in regulating cellular differentiation and function. We studied the roles of the alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1 integrin collagen receptors in regulating the differentiation of 2T3 osteoblastic cells in response to bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2. The immortalized 2T3 cell line was established from the calvaria of mice transgenic for a BMP-2 promoter driving SV40 T-antigen. These cells require exogenous BMP-2, as well as ascorbic acid and beta-glycerolphosphate, for expression of a mature osteoblast phenotype and formation of a mineralized matrix. To determine how integrin receptors for collagen-I affect BMP-2 signaling, function-perturbing anti-rat alpha1 and/or alpha2 integrin subunit, or anti-type I collagen (Col-I), antibodies were added to human recombinant (hr)BMP-2-treated 2T3 cultures at confluence (C0) or at 4 or 8 days postconfluence (C4, C8). After 4 days of exposure to the antibodies, cultures were assayed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) mRNA levels and enzyme activity and for cAMP production in response to parathyroid hormone. Addition of anti-collagen-I or both anti-integrin-alpha1 and -alpha2 antibodies to C0 cultures blocked expression of these early osteoblast markers by more than 90%, and also blocked mineralization (0.5-1.8% control) of these cells. In all cases, adding anti-alpha1 or anti-alpha2 antibodies separately produced partial effects, while their combined effect approached that of anti-collagen-I. When antibodies were added to more differentiated 2T3 cells, the inhibitory effects decreased. 2T3 cells carrying constitutively active BMP receptor (caBMPR-IB) showed elevated ALP activity without hrBMP-2; this constitutive activity was also suppressed by alpha1 and alpha2 integrin antibodies and by anti-Col-I antibody. Together, our data suggest that a signal(s) from collagen integrin receptors regulates the response to BMP downstream of BMPR-IB and upstream of the regulation of ALP mRNA and other early markers of osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Corneas of diabetic patients have abnormal healing and epithelial adhesion, which may be due to alterations of the corneal extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM). To identify such alterations, various ECM and BM components and integrin receptors were studied by immunofluorescence on sections of normal and diabetic human corneas. Age-matched corneas from 15 normal subjects, 10 diabetics without diabetic retinopathy (DR), and 12 diabetics with DR were used. In DR corneas, the composition of the central epithelial BM was markedly altered, compared to normal or non-DR diabetic corneas. In most cases the staining for entactin/nidogen and for chains of laminin-1 (alpha1beta1gamma1) and laminin-10 (alpha5beta1gamma1 was very weak, discontinuous, or absent over large areas. Other BM components displayed less frequent changes. The staining for alpha3beta1 (VLA-3) laminin binding integrin was also weak and discontinuous in DR corneal epithelium. Components of stromal ECM remained unchanged even in DR corneas. Therefore, distinct changes were identified in the composition of the epithelial BM in DR corneas. They may be due to increased degradation or decreased synthesis of BM components and related integrins. These alterations may directly contribute to the epithelial adhesion and wound healing abnormalities found in diabetic corneas.

Abstract
Integrin alpha2beta1 is a heterodimeric transmembrane receptor for collagens. In osteogenic cells the expression of alpha2beta1 integrin is induced by both Kirsten sarcoma virus and chemical transformation. The association of alpha2 integrin with transformed cell phenotype was studied further by testing the effects of two tumor promoters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and okadaic acid (OA), on human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. TPA, an activator of protein kinase C, increased the cell surface expression of alpha2 integrin and the corresponding mRNA levels. Nuclear run-on assays indicated that TPA activated the transcription of alpha2 integrin gene. TPA also slightly increased the expression of alpha3 integrin but had no effect on the transcription of alpha5, alphav, or beta1 integrin subunits. OA, an inhibitor of serine/threonine phosphatases, increased alpha2 integrin gene transcription and mRNA levels, but in contrast to TPA, OA decreased alpha3 integrin expression. The increased expression of alpha2 integrin on TPA-treated MG-63 cells led to faster cell spreading on type I collagen. Our results link the enhanced transcription of alpha2 integrin gene to tumor progression and show the independent regulation of alpha2 integrin compared to other integrin genes.
