Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a devastating skeletal disease, the pathogenesis of which is related to abnormal bone metabolism, featured by the imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption. Stem cell-based therapies have been demonstrated to improve osteoporosis treatment. Previously, the linear furanocoumarin heraclenin was reported to enhance osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), suggesting its potential for osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration. Our study was designed to confirm the promotive role of heraclenin on osteogenic differentiation of human bone MSCs (BMSCs) and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Human BMSCs were treated for 24, 48, and 72h with heraclenin (5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM), and cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. To further evaluate the cytotoxicity of heraclenin, cell suspension obtained from BMSCs treated with heraclenin (5, 10, and 20 μM) for 72h was subjected to a MUSE™ cell analyzer for cell viability and count assay. BMSCs were incubated in osteogenic induction medium for 7 days. Then, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of BMSCs were assessed through alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S staining. The expression of osteogenesis markers including ALP, osteocalcin (OCN), osterix (OSX), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) was detected via reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. The effects of heraclenin on the RhoA/ROCK pathway were estimated through western blotting. Y-27632, the ROCK inhibitor, was used to confirm the role of the RhoA/ROCK pathway in heraclenin-mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. RESULTS Heraclenin (5-80 μM) was non-toxic on human BMSCs. Heraclenin treatment (5-20 μM) dose-dependently enhanced ALP activity and calcium deposition. Furthermore, heraclenin promoted ALP, OCN, OSX, and RUNX2 mRNA and protein expression. Mechanically, heraclenin treatment increased RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA expression, stimulated the translocation of ROCK from the cytosolic to the membrane fraction, and elevated the protein levels of phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) and active RhoA. Additionally, treatment with Y-27632 overturned the promotion of heraclenin on ALP activity, calcium deposition, the expression of osteogenesis markers, and the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Heraclenin facilitates the osteogenic differentiation of human BMSCs through the activation of the RhoA/ROCK pathway.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2024; 81:260. [PMID: 38878096 PMCID: PMC11335296 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-024-05297-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
The pathological advancement of osteoporosis is caused by the uneven development of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in terms of osteogenesis and adipogenesis. While the role of EEF1B2 in intellectual disability and tumorigenesis is well established, its function in the bone-fat switch of BMSCs is still largely unexplored. During the process of osteogenic differentiation, we observed an increase in the expression of EEF1B2, while a decrease in its expression was noted during adipogenesis. Suppression of EEF1B2 hindered the process of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization while promoting adipogenic differentiation. On the contrary, overexpression of EEF1B2 enhanced osteogenesis and strongly inhibited adipogenesis. Furthermore, the excessive expression of EEF1B2 in the tibias has the potential to mitigate bone loss and decrease marrow adiposity in mice with osteoporosis. In terms of mechanism, the suppression of β-catenin activity occurred when EEF1B2 function was suppressed during osteogenesis. Our collective findings indicate that EEF1B2 functions as a regulator, influencing the differentiation of BMSCs and maintaining a balance between bone and fat. Our finding highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases related to bone metabolism.

Abstract
As the world population ages, osteoporosis, the most common disease of bone metabolism, affects more than 200 million people worldwide. The etiology is an imbalance in bone remodeling process resulting in more significant bone resorption than bone remodeling. With the advent of the osteoimmunology field, the immune system's role in skeletal pathologies is gradually being discovered. The cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a member of the interferon family, is an important factor in the etiology and treatment of osteoporosis because it mediates bone remodeling. This review starts with bone remodeling process and includes the cellular and key signaling pathways of bone remodeling. The effects of IFN-γ on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone mass are discussed separately, while the overall effects of IFN-γ on primary and secondary osteoporosis are summarized. The net effect of IFN-γ on bone appears to be highly dependent on the environment, dose, concentration, and stage of cellular differentiation. This review focuses on the mechanisms of bone remodeling and bone immunology, with a comprehensive discussion of the relationship between IFN-γ and osteoporosis. Finding the paradoxical balance of IFN-γ in bone immunology and exploring the potential of its clinical application provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis and drug development.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of osteoporosis (OP) is closely associated with the disrupted balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We analyzed published single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to dissect the transcriptomic profiles of bone marrow-derived cells in OP, reviewing 56 377 cells across eight scRNA-seq datasets from femoral heads (osteoporosis or osteopenia n = 5, osteoarthritis n = 3). Seventeen genes, including carboxypeptidase M (CPM), were identified as key osteogenesis-adipogenesis regulators through comprehensive gene set enrichment, differential expression, regulon activity, and pseudotime analyses. In vitro, CPM knockdown reduced osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis in BMSCs, while adenovirus-mediated CPM overexpression had the reverse effects. In vivo, intraosseous injection of CPM-overexpressing BMSCs mitigated bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Integrated scRNA-seq and bulk RNA sequencing analyses provided insight into the MAPK/ERK pathway's role in the CPM-mediated regulation of BMSC osteogenesis and adipogenesis; specifically, CPM overexpression enhanced MAPK/ERK signaling and osteogenesis. In contrast, the ERK1/2 inhibitor binimetinib negated the effects of CPM overexpression. Overall, our findings identify CPM as a pivotal regulator of BMSC differentiation, which provides new clues for the mechanistic study of OP.

Feng J, Tan A, Li W, Zheng Y. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 plays a role in orthodontic tooth movement by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. Orthod Craniofac Res 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The alveolar bone remodelling promoted by reasonable mechanical force triggers orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). The generation of osteoclasts is essential in this process. However, the mechanism of mechanical force mediating osteoclast differentiation remains elusive. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5), which was reported to mediate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in our previous study, was downregulated in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under mechanical force. At the same time, the RANKL/OPG ratio increased. Based on this, we probed into the role of SNHG5 in osteoclast formation during OTM and the relevant mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS SNHG5 and the RANKL/OPG ratio under different compressive forces were detected by western blotting (WB) and qRT-PCR. Impact of overexpression or knockdown of SNHG5 on osteoclast differentiation was detected by qRT-PCR, WB and transwell experiments. The combination of SNHG5 and C/EBPβ was verified by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays. The expression of SNHG5 and osteoclast markers in gingiva were analysed by qRT-PCR and the paraffin sections of periodontal tissues were used for histological analysis. RESULTS Compressive force downregulated SNHG5 and upregulated the RANKL/OPG ratio in hPDLCs. Overexpression of SNHG5 inhibited RANKL's expression and osteoclast differentiation. SNHG5 combined with C/EBPβ, a regulator of osteoclast. The expression of SNHG5 in periodontal tissue decreased during OTM. CONCLUSION SNHG5 inhibited osteoclast differentiation during OTM, achieved by affecting RANKL secretion, which may provide a new idea to interfere with bone resorption during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arachidonic acid (AA), one of the most ubiquitous polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), provides fluidity to mammalian cell membranes. It is derived from linoleic acid (LA) and can be transformed into various bioactive metabolites, including prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), lipoxins (LXs), hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), leukotrienes (LTs), and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), by different pathways. All these processes are involved in AA metabolism. Currently, in the context of an increasingly visible aging world population, several scholars have revealed the essential role of AA metabolism in osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and many other aging diseases. AIM OF REVIEW Although there are some reviews describing the role of AA in some specific diseases, there seems to be no or little information on the role of AA metabolism in aging tissues or organs. This review scrutinizes and highlights the role of AA metabolism in aging and provides a new idea for strategies for treating aging-related diseases. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW As a member of lipid metabolism, AA metabolism regulates the important lipids that interfere with the aging in several ways. We present a comprehensivereviewofthe role ofAA metabolism in aging, with the aim of relieving the extreme suffering of families and the heavy economic burden on society caused by age-related diseases. We also collected and summarized data on anti-aging therapies associated with AA metabolism, with the expectation of identifying a novel and efficient way to protect against aging.

Abstract
The human skeleton is a metabolically active system that is constantly regenerating via the tightly regulated and highly coordinated processes of bone resorption and formation. Emerging evidence reveals fascinating new insights into the role of sphingolipids, including sphingomyelin, sphingosine, ceramide, and sphingosine-1-phosphate, in bone homeostasis. Sphingolipids are a major class of highly bioactive lipids able to activate distinct protein targets including, lipases, phosphatases, and kinases, thereby conferring distinct cellular functions beyond energy metabolism. Lipids are known to contribute to the progression of chronic inflammation, and notably, an increase in bone marrow adiposity parallel to elevated bone loss is observed in most pathological bone conditions, including aging, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteomyelitis. Of the numerous classes of lipids that form, sphingolipids are considered among the most deleterious. This review highlights the important primary role of sphingolipids in bone homeostasis and how dysregulation of these bioactive metabolites appears central to many chronic bone-related diseases. Further, their contribution to the invasion, virulence, and colonization of both viral and bacterial host cell infections is also discussed. Many unmet clinical needs remain, and data to date suggest the future use of sphingolipid-targeted therapy to regulate bone dysfunction due to a variety of diseases or infection are highly promising. However, deciphering the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of this diverse and extremely complex sphingolipidome, both in terms of bone health and disease, is considered the next frontier in the field.

Abstract
Histone methylation plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. We previously reported the in vitro function of histone lysine demethylase 7 A (KDM7A) in osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation. The current study was undertaken to investigate the physiological role of KDM7A in bone homeostasis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. A conditional strategy was employed to delete the Kdm7a gene specifically in osterix-expressing osteoprogenitor cells in mice. The resulting mutant mice exhibited a significant increase in cancellous bone mass, accompanied by an increase in osteoblasts and bone formation, as well as a reduction in osteoclasts, marrow adipocytes and bone resorption. The bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and calvarial pre-osteoblastic cells derived from the mutant mice exhibited enhanced osteogenic differentiation and suppressed adipogenic differentiation. Additionally, osteoclastic precursor cells from the mutant mice exhibited impaired osteoclast differentiation. Co-culturing BMSCs from the mutant mice with wild-type osteoclast precursor cells resulted in the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Mechanistic investigation revealed that KDM7A was able to upregulate the expression of fibroblast activation protein α (FAP) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in BMSCs through removing repressive di-methylation marks of H3K9 and H3K27 from Fap and Rankl promoters. Moreover, recombinant FAP attenuated the dysregulation of osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation in BMSCs from Kdm7a deficient mice. Finally, Kdm7a deficiency prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice. This study establish the role of KDM7A in bone homeostasis through its epigenetic regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation. Consequently, inhibiting KDM7A may prove beneficial in ameliorating osteoporosis. KDM7A suppresses osteoblast differentiation and bone formation through. upregulating FAP expression and inactivating canonical Wnt signaling, and conversely promotes osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption through upregulating RANKL expression. These are based on its epigenetic removal of the repressive H3K9me2 and H3K27me2 marks from Fap and Rankl promoters. As a result, the expression of KDM7A in osteoprogenitor cells tends to negatively modulate bone mass.

Exp Mol Med 2024; 56:118-128.

Abstract
The harmful effects of fine particulate matter ≤2.5 µm in size (PM2.5) on human health have received considerable attention. However, while the impact of PM2.5 on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems has been well studied, less is known about the effects on stem cells in the bone marrow (BM). With an emphasis on the invasive characteristics of PM2.5, this review examines the current knowledge of the health effects of PM2.5 exposure on BM-residing stem cells. Recent studies have shown that PM2.5 enters the circulation and then travels to distant organs, including the BM, to induce oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and epigenetic changes, resulting in the reduction of BM-residing stem cell survival and function. Understanding the broader health effects of air pollution thus requires an understanding of the invasive characteristics of PM2.5 and its direct influence on stem cells in the BM. As noted in this review, further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying processes by which PM2.5 disturbs the BM microenvironment and inhibits stem cell functionality. Strategies to prevent or ameliorate the negative effects of PM2.5 exposure on BM-residing stem cells and to maintain the regenerative capacity of those cells must also be investigated. By focusing on the complex relationship between PM2.5 and BM-resident stem cells, this review highlights the importance of specific measures directed at safeguarding human health in the face of rising air pollution.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the development of bone damage in the context of spondyloarthritis (SpA) are not completely understood. To date, a considerable amount of evidence indicates that several developmental pathways are crucially involved in osteoimmunology. The present review explores the biological mechanisms underlying the relationship between inflammatory dysregulation, structural progression, and osteoporosis in this diverse family of conditions. We summarize the current knowledge of bone biology and balance and the foundations of bone regulation, including bone morphogenetic protein, the Wnt pathway, and Hedgehog signaling, as well as the role of cytokines in the development of bone damage in SpA. Other areas surveyed include the pathobiology of bone damage and systemic bone loss (osteoporosis) in SpA and the effects of pharmacological treatment on focal bone damage. Lastly, we present data relative to a survey of bone metabolic assessment in SpA from Italian bone specialist rheumatology centers. The results confirm that most of the attention to bone health is given to postmenopausal subjects and that the aspect of metabolic bone health may still be underrepresented. In our opinion, it may be the time for a call to action to increase the interest in and focus on the diagnosis and management of SpA.

Abstract
Fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is widely used in cell culture media, has the potential to cause medical and ethical problems. Here, an experimental study using milk or whey proteins containing essential nutrients and growth factors is presented to limit the use of FBS in cell culture media produced for cell and tissue regeneration. Study groups were formed by culturing human placenta mesenchymal stem cells, known to have high proliferation and differentiation capacity, with milk or whey solution at increasing concentrations, alone or in combination with FBS. Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacities of proliferating cells were observed in FBS, milk or whey groups. Milk, whey or FBS groups obtained in P3 and after differentiation were separately analyzed for protein mRNA expression by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), Octamer-binding Transcription Factor 4 (OCT4), Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (BMP6), and adipogenic differentiation marker Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARG) were analysed by RT-qPCR. Proliferation was more pronounced in FBS alone and in its combinations with milk-whey compared to the groups in which only milk and whey were used. OCT4 mRNA and FGF2 mRNA expression decreased in differentiated cells. BMP6 mRNA expression increased with osteogenic and adipogenic stimuli. As expected, PPRG expression also increased with adipogenic stimulation. With this experimental study, evidence has been obtained that milk or whey can provide nutritional support to the culture media of repair cells and preserve the functional capacity of the cells, with a slightly more limited capacity than FBS.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can differentiate into various lineages, such as chondrocytes, adipocytes, osteoblasts, and neuronal lineages. It has been shown that the high-efficiency DNA-repair capacity of hMSCs is decreased during their differentiation. However, the underlying its mechanism during adipogenesis and osteogenesis is unknown. Herein, we investigated how alkyl-damage repair is modulated during adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, especially focusing on the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Response to an alkylation agent was assessed via quantification of the double-strand break (DSB) foci and activities of BER-related enzymes during differentiation in hMSCs. Adipocytes showed high resistance against methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)-induced alkyl damage, whereas osteoblasts were more sensitive than hMSCs. During the differentiation, activities, and protein levels of uracil-DNA glycosylase were found to be regulated. In addition, ligation-related proteins, such as X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) and DNA polymerase β, were upregulated in adipocytes, whereas their levels and recruitment declined during osteogenesis. These modulations of BER enzyme activity during differentiation influenced DNA repair efficiency and the accumulation of DSBs as repair intermediates in the nucleus. Taken together, we suggest that BER enzymatic activity is regulated in adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation and these alterations in the BER pathway led to different responses to alkyl damage from those in hMSCs.

Abstract
The growing interest in regenerative medicine has opened new avenues for novel cell therapies using stem cells. Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) is an important source of stromal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Conventional MSC harvesting from BMA relies on archaic centrifugation methods, often leading to poor yield due to osmotic stress, high centrifugation force, convoluted workflow, and long experimental time (∼2-3 hours). To address these issues, we have developed a scalable microfluidic technology based on deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) for MSC isolation. This passive, label-free cell sorting method capitalizes on the morphological differences between MSCs and blood cells (platelets and RBCs) for effective separation using an inverted L-shaped pillar array. To improve throughput, we developed a novel multi-chip DLD system that can process 2.5 mL of raw BMA in 20 ± 5 minutes, achieving a 2-fold increase in MSC recovery compared to centrifugation methods. Taken together, we envision that the developed DLD platform will enable fast and efficient isolation of MSCs from BMA for effective downstream cell therapy in clinical settings.

Abstract
This case describes a young man with an unusual cause of severe osteoporosis and markedly deranged bone microarchitecture resulting in multiple fractures. A potentially pathogenic germline variant in the runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) gene was discovered by a focused 51-gene myeloid malignancy panel during investigation for his unexplained normochromic normocytic anemia. Further bone-specific genetic testing and a pedigree analysis were declined by the patient. Recent experimental evidence demonstrates that RUNX1 plays a key role in the regulation of osteogenesis and bone homeostasis during skeletal development, mediated by the bone morphogenic protein and Wnt signaling pathways. Therefore, rarer causes of osteoporosis, including those affecting bone formation, should be considered in young patients with multiple unexpected minimal trauma fractures. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Lipid and glucose metabolism are critical for human activities, and their disorders can cause diabetes and obesity, two prevalent metabolic diseases. Studies suggest that the bone involved in lipid and glucose metabolism is emerging as an endocrine organ that regulates systemic metabolism through bone-derived molecules. Sclerostin, a protein mainly produced by osteocytes, has been therapeutically targeted by antibodies for treating osteoporosis owing to its ability to inhibit bone formation. Moreover, recent evidence indicates that sclerostin plays a role in lipid and glucose metabolism disorders. Although the effects of sclerostin on bone have been extensively examined and reviewed, its effects on systemic metabolism have not yet been well summarized. In this paper, we provide a systemic review of the effects of sclerostin on lipid and glucose metabolism based on in vitro and in vivo evidence, summarize the research progress on sclerostin, and prospect its potential manipulation for obesity and diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol (TGA) is the primary component of intramuscular fat. Expression of diacylglyceryl transferase (DGAT) determines the polyester differentiation ability of precursor adipocytes. The two DGAT isoforms (DGAT1 and DGAT2) play different roles in TAG metabolism. This study investigates the roles of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in signaling pathways related to differentiation and lipid metabolism in Yanbian bovine preadipocytes. sh-DGAT1 (sh-1), sh-DGAT2 (sh-2), and sh-DGAT1 + sh-DGAT2 (sh-1 + 2) were prepared using short interfering RNA (siRNA) interference technique targeting DGAT1 and DGAT2 genes and infected bovine preadipocytes. Molecular and transcriptomic techniques, including differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, were used to investigate the effects on the differentiation of Yanbian bovine preadipocytes. After interference with DGAT1 and DGAT2 genes, the contents of TAG and adiponectin were decreased. The TAG content in the sh-2 and sh-1 + 2 groups was significantly lower than that in the sh-NC group. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) results showed 2070, 2242, and 2446 DEGs in the sh-1, sh-2, and sh-1 + 2 groups, respectively. The DEGs of the sh-2 group were mainly concentrated in the PPAR, AMPK, and Wnt signaling pathways associated with adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. These results demonstrated that at the mRNA level, DGAT2 plays a more important role in lipid metabolism than DGAT1.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus, is characterized by a reduction in bone mass, destruction of bone microarchitecture, decreased bone strength, and increased bone fragility. Because of its insidious onset, osteoporosis renders patients highly susceptible to pathological fractures, leading to increased disability and mortality rates. However, the specific pathogenesis of osteoporosis induced by chronic hyperglycemia has not yet been fully elucidated. But it is currently known that the disruption of Wnt signaling triggered by chronic hyperglycemia is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic osteoporosis. There are two main types of Wnt signaling pathways, the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (β-catenin-dependent) and the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway (non-β-catenin-dependent), both of which play an important role in regulating the balance between bone formation and bone resorption. Therefore, this review systematically describes the effects of abnormal Wnt pathway signaling on bone homeostasis under hyperglycemia, hoping to reveal the relationship between Wnt signaling and diabetic osteoporosis to further improve understanding of this disease.

[PMID: 37036534 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-023-01420-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis invariably manifests as loss of bone, which is replaced by adipose tissue; this can easily lead to fractures, accompanied by delayed and poor healing. Adiponectin (APN) balances osteogenesis and adipogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Therefore, this study explored whether adiponectin promotes bone fracture healing by regulating the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used adenovirus overexpression vectors carrying APN (Ad-APN-GFP) to treat ovariectomized (OVX) mouse BMSCs and osteoporotic bone fractures to investigate the role of APN in bone microenvironment metabolism in osteoporotic fractures. We subsequently established an OVX mice and bone fracture model using Ad-APN-GFP treatment to investigate whether APN could promote bone fracture healing in osteoporotic mice. RESULTS The experimental results showed that APN is a critical molecule in diverse differentiation directions in OVX mouse BMSCs, with pro-osteogenesis and anti-adipogenesis properties. Importantly, our study revealed that Ad-APN-GFP treatment facilitates bone generation and healing around the osteoporotic fracture ends. Moreover, we identified that Sirt1 and Wnt signaling were closely related to the pro-osteogenesis and anti-adipogenesis commitment of APN in OVX mouse BMSCs and femoral tissues. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that APN overexpression facilitates bone fracture healing in osteoporosis. Furthermore, APN overexpression promoted bone formation in OVX mouse BMSCs and bone fracture ends by regulating the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.

B. abortus Infection Promotes an Imbalance in the Adipocyte–Osteoblast Crosstalk Favoring Bone Resorption. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065617. [PMID: 36982692 PMCID: PMC10054538 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarticular injury is the most common presentation of active brucellosis in humans. Osteoblasts and adipocytes originate from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Since those osteoblasts are bone-forming cells, the predilection of MSC to differentiate into adipocytes or osteoblasts is a potential factor involved in bone loss. In addition, osteoblasts and adipocytes can be converted into each other according to the surrounding microenvironment. Here, we study the incumbency of B. abortus infection in the crosstalk between adipocytes and osteoblasts during differentiation from its precursors. Our results indicate that soluble mediators present in culture supernatants from B. abotus-infected adipocytes inhibit osteoblast mineral matrix deposition in a mechanism dependent on the presence of IL-6 with the concomitant reduction of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2) transcription, but without altering organic matrix deposition and inducing nuclear receptor activator ligand kβ (RANKL) expression. Secondly, B. abortus-infected osteoblasts stimulate adipocyte differentiation with the induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and CCAAT enhancer binding protein β (C/EBP-β). We conclude that adipocyte–osteoblast crosstalk during B. abortus infection could modulate mutual differentiation from its precursor cells, contributing to bone resorption.

Abstract
Skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), characterized by self-renewal and multipotency, are essential for skeletal development, bone remodeling, and bone repair. These cells have traditionally been known to reside within the bone marrow, but recent studies have identified the presence of distinct SSPC populations in other skeletal compartments such as the growth plate, periosteum, and calvarial sutures. Differences in the cellular and matrix environment of distinct SSPC populations are believed to regulate their stemness and to direct their roles at different stages of development, homeostasis, and regeneration; differences in embryonic origin and adjacent tissue structures also affect SSPC regulation. As these SSPC niches are dynamic and highly specialized, changes under stress conditions and with aging can alter the cellular composition and molecular mechanisms in place, contributing to the dysregulation of local SSPCs and their activity in bone regeneration. Therefore, a better understanding of the different regulatory mechanisms for the distinct SSPCs in each skeletal compartment, and in different conditions, could provide answers to the existing knowledge gap and the impetus for realizing their potential in this biological and medical space. Here, we summarize the current scientific advances made in the study of the differential regulation pathways for distinct SSPCs in different bone compartments. We also discuss the physical, biological, and molecular factors that affect each skeletal compartment niche. Lastly, we look into how aging influences the regenerative capacity of SSPCs. Understanding these regulatory differences can open new avenues for the discovery of novel treatment approaches for calvarial or long bone repair.

Abstract
The growing burden of obesity and osteoporosis is a major public health concern. Emerging evidence of the role of adipokines on bone metabolism has led to the discovery of novel adipokines over the last decade. Obesity is recognized as a state of adipose tissue inflammation that adversely affects bone health. Adipokines secreted from white adipose tissue (WAT) and bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) exerts endocrine and paracrine effects on the survival and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. An increase in marrow fat is implicated in osteoporosis and, hence, it is crucial to understand the complex interplay between adipocytes and bone. The objective of this review is to summarize recent advances in our understanding of the role of different adipokines on bone metabolism. METHODS This is a comprehensive review of the literature available in PubMED and Cochrane databases, with an emphasis on the last five years using the keywords. RESULTS Leptin has shown some positive effects on bone metabolism; in contrast, both adiponectin and chemerin have consistently shown a negative association with BMD. No significant association was found between resistin and BMD. Novel adipokines such as visfatin, LCN-2, Nesfatin-1, RBP-4, apelin, and vaspin have shown bone-protective and osteoanabolic properties that could be translated into therapeutic targets. CONCLUSION New evidence suggests the potential role of novel adipokines as biomarkers to predict osteoporosis risk, and as therapeutic targets for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and increased bone fragility due to decreased estrogen levels. Qiangguyin (QGY) is transformed from the famous traditional Chinese medicine BuShen Invigorating Blood Decoction. In this study, we used QGY to treat PMOP. We observed that QGY significantly reduced fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction. However, its specific mechanism of action remains unclear. To determine the specific molecular mechanism of QGY, we explored the pharmacological mechanism by which QGY reduces fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction through network pharmacological analysis. The active components and targets related to PMOP and QGY were screened from different databases, forming a composition-target-disease network. Next, a comprehensive analysis platform including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were established. The results revealed that QGY inhibits adipogenic differentiation by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, thus reducing the accumulation of fat in the chondro-osseous junction. For further verification. In vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out. Our data showed that QGY significantly reversed the high expression of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Further, QGY prevents fat accumulation by inhibiting the expression of p38. In summary, the results of this study suggested that QGY-induced phenotypic changes are related to the activation of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Adipocytes and osteoblasts derive from a common mesenchymal progenitor present in a range of connective tissues. Differentiation of the progenitors toward the two cell lineages can be induced in vitro through well-established protocols, and leads to the appearance of lipid-laden adipocytes and osteoblasts embedded in a mineralized matrix. The formation of these two lineages in cell cultures can be monitored using lipophilic dyes such as Oil Red O and substances binding to mineral deposits such as Alizarin Red S, respectively. However, these common staining techniques require cell fixation and are thus incompatible with live analyses. Recently, alternative approaches using vital stains have allowed the dual visualization and fluorescence imaging of adipogenic and osteogenic lineages in live cultures. Here we present the concomitant analysis of cultures containing adipogenic and osteogenic cell types using live staining, combining LipidTox Red and tetracycline with NucRed nuclear counterstain for confocal imaging. This approach can be applied to visualize the kinetics and 3D structure of differentiating mesenchymal cultures over time and highlights the interaction of adipose and mineralized compartments associated with bone marrow stroma.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing global epidemic linked to many diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders. Exercise can improve bone density and decrease excess bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in obese individuals. However, the mechanism of exercise regulating bone marrow microenvironment remains unclear. This study examines how exercise induces bone marrow remodeling in diet-induced obesity. We employed unbiased RNA-Seq to investigate the effect of exercise on the bone marrow of diet-induced obese male mice. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated to explore the regulatory effects of exercise in vitro. Our data demonstrated that exercise could slow down the progression of obesity and improve trabecular bone density. RNA-seq data revealed that exercise inhibited secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1), which was shown to mediate bone resorption through mechanosensing mechanisms. Interactome analysis of Spp1 using the HINT database showed that Spp1 interacted with the adipokine adipsin. Moreover, exercise decreased BMAT, which induced osteoclast differentiation and promoted bone loss. Our study reveals that exercise improves the bone marrow microenvironment by at least partially inhibiting the adipsin-Spp1 signaling pathway so as to inhibit the alternative complement system from activating osteoclasts in diet-induced obese mice.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can be differentiated into osteoblasts and adipocytes. During these processes, super enhancers (SEs) play important roles. Here, we performed comprehensive characterization of the SEs changes associated with adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, and revealed that SEs changed more dramatically compared with typical enhancers. We identified a set of lineage-selective SEs, whose target genes were enriched with cell type-specific functions. Functional experiments in lineage-selective SEs demonstrated their specific roles in directed differentiation of hMSCs. We also found that some key transcription factors regulated by lineage-selective SEs could form core regulatory circuitry (CRC) to regulate each other's expression and control the hMSCs fate determination. In addition, we found that GWAS SNPs of osteoporosis and obesity were significantly enriched in osteoblasts-selective SEs or adipocytes-selective SEs, respectively. Taken together, our studies unveiled important roles of lineage-selective SEs in hMSCs differentiation into osteoblasts and adipocytes.

Abstract
Background Bone is a rigid organ that provides physical protection and support to vital organs of the body. Bone loss disorders are commonly associated with increased bone marrow adipose tissue. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent progenitors that can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) is a co-activator of anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), and is required for ubiquitin ligase activity. Our previous study showed that CDC20 promoted the osteogenic commitment of BMSCs and Cdc20 conditional knockout mice suggested a decline in bone mass. In this study, we found that knockdown of CDC20 promoted adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs by modulating β-catenin, which suggested a link between adipogenesis and osteogenesis. Methods Lentivirus containing a CDC20 shRNA was used for CDC20 knockdown in human BMSCs (hBMSCs). Primary mouse BMSCs (mBMSCs) were isolated from Cdc20f/f and Sp7-Cre;Cdc20f/f mice. Adipogenesis was examined using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis of adipogenic regulators, Oil Red O staining, and transplantation into nude mice. CDC20 knockout efficiency was determined through immunochemistry, qRT-PCR, and western blotting of bone marrow. Accumulation of adiposity was measured through histology and staining of bone sections. Exploration of the molecular mechanism was determined through western blotting, Oil Red O staining, and qRT-PCR. Results CDC20 expression in hBMSCs was significantly decreased during adipogenic differentiation. CDC20 knockdown enhanced hBMSC adipogenic differentiation in vitro. CDC20-knockdown hBMSCs showed more adipose tissue-like constructs upon hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Oil Red O staining. Sp7-Cre;Cdc20f/f mice presented increased adipocytes in their bone marrow compared with the control mice. mBMSCs from Sp7-Cre;Cdc20f/f mice showed upregulated adipogenic differentiation. Knockdown of CDC20 led to decreased β-catenin levels, and a β-catenin pathway activator (lithium chloride) abolished the role of CDC20 in BMSC adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions Our findings showed that CDC20 knockdown enhanced adipogenesis of hBMSC and mBMSCs adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. CDC20 regulates both adipogenesis and osteogenesis of BMSCs, and might lead to the development of new therapeutic targets for “fatty bone” and osteoporosis.

Although collagen type 1 (COL) has been widely studied in bone marrow MSCs, its role in regulating cell fate of Wharton jelly- (WJ-) MSCs is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of collagen on the characteristics of WJ-MSCs associated with proliferation, surface markers, adhesion, migration, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities through gene expression studies. The isolated WJ-MSCs expressed positive surface markers but not negative markers. Gene expression profiles showed that COL not only maintained the pluripotency, self-renewal, and immunophenotype of WJ-MSCs but also primed cells toward lineage differentiations by upregulating BMP2 and TGFB1 genes. Upon osteoinduction, WJ-MSC-COL underwent osteogenesis by switching on the transcription of BMP6/7 and TGFB3 followed by activation of downstream target genes such as INS, IGF1, RUNX2, and VEGFR2 through p38 signalling. This molecular event was also accompanied by hypomethylation at the OCT4 promoter and increase of H3K9 acetylation. In conclusion, COL provides a conducive cellular environment in priming WJ-MSCs that undergo a lineage specification upon receiving an appropriate signal from extrinsic factor. These findings would contribute to better control of fate determination of MSCs for therapeutic applications related to bone disease.

Impairment of APPL1/Myoferlin facilitates adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by blocking autophagy flux in osteoporosis. Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:488. [PMID: 35984564 PMCID: PMC9391247 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04511-y] [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: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
An imbalance of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation is crucial in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, and elucidation of the underlying mechanism is urgently needed. APPL1, an adaptor protein of the adiponectin receptor, was recently shown to be closely related to bone mass. However, the role of APPL1 in the imbalance of hMSC differentiation in osteoporosis is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the mechanisms by which APPL1 alters hMSCs adipogenic differentiation in osteoporosis. Here, we found that APPL1 expression was downregulated in elderly patients with osteoporosis and in mouse osteoporosis model. APPL1 negatively regulated hMSC adipogenic differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, by enhancing ubiquitination-mediated Myoferlin degradation, downregulated APPL1 expression increased the risk of lysosome dysfunction during hMSCs adipogenic differentiation. Lysosomal dysfunction inhibited autophagy flux by suppressing autophagosome degradation and promoted hMSC differentiation towards the adipocyte lineage. Our findings suggest that APPL1/Myoferlin downregulation promoted hMSCs adipogenic differentiation by inhibiting autophagy flux, further impairing the balance of hMSCs adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in osteoporosis; the APPL1/ Myoferlin axis may be a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Breast cancer has a marked recurrence and metastatic trait and is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting women’s health worldwide. Tumor initiation and progression begin after the cell goes from a quiescent to an activated state and requires different mechanisms to act in concert to regulate t a specific set of spectral genes for expression. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proven to initiate and drive tumorigenesis due to their capability of self-renew and differentiate. In addition, CSCs are believed to be capable of causing resistance to anti-tumor drugs, recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, exploring the origin, regulatory mechanisms and ultimate fate decision of CSCs in breast cancer outcomes has far-reaching clinical implications for the development of breast cancer stem cell (BCSC)-targeted therapeutic strategies. In this review, we will highlight the contribution of BCSCs to breast cancer and explore the internal and external factors that regulate the fate of BCSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beiging of white fat plays an important role in energy metabolism. Beige adipocytes contribute to the regulation of body weight and body temperature through expenditure of chemical energy to produce heat, and they have therefore recently attracted considerable attention as potential targets for therapeutic approaches in metabolic disorders, including obesity. All adipocytes, including beige adipocytes, differentiate from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which may provide an important path for clinical intervention; however, the mechanism of beiging of human adipose cell-derived MSCs is not fully understood. Here, we provide insights on the role of IRISIN, which is known to be secreted by skeletal muscle and promote beiging of white fat. RESULTS We established an IRISIN-induced mesenchymal stem cell beiging model and found that IRISIN protein interacts with the MSC membrane protein TRPC3. This interaction results in calcium influx and consequential activation of Erk and Akt signaling pathways, which causes phosphorylation of PPARγ. The phosphorylated PPARγ enters the nucleus and binds the UCP1 promoter region. Furthermore, the role of TRPC3 in the beiging of MSCs was largely abolished in Trpc3-/- mice. We additionally demonstrate that the calcium concentration in the brain of mice increases upon IRISIN stimulation, followed by an increase in the content of excitatory amino acids and norepinephrine, while Trpc3-/- mice exhibit the reverse effect. CONCLUSIONS We found that TRPC3 is a key factor in irisin-induced beiging of MSCs, which may provide a new target pathway in addressing metabolic disorders. Our results additionally suggest that the interaction of irisin with TRPC3 may affect multiple tissues, including the brain.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence of a role for environmental contaminants in disrupting metabolic health in both humans and animals. Despite a growing need for well-understood models for evaluating adipogenic and potential obesogenic contaminants, there has been a reliance on decades-old in vitro models that have not been appropriately managed by cell line providers. There has been a quick rise in available in vitro models in the last ten years, including commercial availability of human mesenchymal stem cell and preadipocyte models; these models require more comprehensive validation but demonstrate real promise in improved translation to human metabolic health. There is also progress in developing three-dimensional and co-culture techniques that allow for the interrogation of a more physiologically relevant state. While diverse rodent models exist for evaluating putative obesogenic and/or adipogenic chemicals in a physiologically relevant context, increasing capabilities have been identified for alternative model organisms such as Drosophila, C. elegans, zebrafish, and medaka in metabolic health testing. These models have several appreciable advantages, including most notably their size, rapid development, large brood sizes, and ease of high-resolution lipid accumulation imaging throughout the organisms. They are anticipated to expand the capabilities of metabolic health research, particularly when coupled with emerging obesogen evaluation techniques as described herein.

Abstract
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the extracellular matrix of mammals and has a great effect on various cell behaviors including adhesion, differentiation, and migration. However, it is difficult to utilize collagen gel as a physical scaffold in vitro because of its severe contraction. Decrease in the overall hydrogel volume induces changes in cell distribution, and mass transfer within the gel. Uncontrolled mechanical and physiological factors in the fibrous matrix result in uncontrolled cell behaviors in the surrounding cells. In this study, two strategies were used to minimize the contraction of collagen gel. A disk-shaped frame made of polydopamine-coated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prevented horizontal contraction at the edge of the hydrogel. The sequentially cross-linked collagen gel with alginate outer shell (CA-shell) structure inhibited the vertical gel contraction. The combined method synergistically prevented the hydrogel from shrinkage in long-term 3D cell culture. We observed the shift in balance of differentiation from adipogenesis to osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells under the environment where gel contraction was prevented, and confirmed that this phenomenon is closely associated with the mechanotransduction based on Yes-associated protein (YAP) localization. Development of this contraction inhibition platform made it possible to investigate the influence of regulation of cellular microenvironments. The physical properties of the hydrogel fabricated in this study were similar to that of pure collagen gel but completely changed the cell behavior within the gel by inhibition of gel contraction. The platform can be used to broaden our understanding of the fundamental mechanism underlying cell-matrix interactions and reproduce extracellular matrix in vivo.

Abstract
Obesity, one of the common worldwide chronic health diseases co-relates with adipogenesis. Adipogenesis is a complex biological action of the emergence of mature adipocytes from the differentiation of pre-adipocytes and the disfunction of this process leads to the development of metabolic issues in obesity. Recently, much attention has been paid to utilizing natural compounds to discover their biological activities. This study focused on investigating the probable anti-adipogenic effects of gallic acid-g-chitosan (GAC) and plain chitosan (PC) through regulating the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)/Nrf2 pathway on mesenchymal stem cells. Gallic acid is grafted onto the PC backbone to improve its specific physical and biological properties. GAC showed promising anti-adipogenic effects by enhancing HO-1 expression and lipolysis and as well as suppressing lipid accumulation, reactive oxygen species, and pro-inflammatory cytokines production, transcription factor expression compared to the PC treatment. On the contrary, zinc protoporphyrin ІX (ZnPP), a HO-1 inhibitor reversed these effects of GAC on adipogenesis. Taken all together, this study revealed that grafting GA onto the chitosan improved potential anti-adipogenic activity by induction of the HO-1/Nrf2 pathway on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: GAC is a well-known copolymer with versatile bioactivities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic activity. However, the anti-adipogenic effect of GAC has not been explored in MSCs. This study demonstrated that GAC inhibited adipocyte differentiation in MSCs through HO-1 activation. These findings suggest that GAC can be applied practically from different perspectives. GAC can be applied in the pharmacological industry to the development of anti-obesity drugs, medicinal perspectives for the treatment of obesity and obesity-related diseases, and in the food industry as a functional food to promote health and decrease the risk of diseases.

Abstract
Growth hormone receptor (GHR) can activate several signaling pathways after binding to growth hormone (GH) to regulate cell growth and development. Sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chickens, normal protein functions are prevented because of exon mutations in the GHR gene, have more severe fat deposition. However, the specific molecular mechanisms responsible for this phenotype remains unclear. We therefore investigated the effect of the GHR gene on adipogenic differentiation of chicken bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We found that bone marrow fat deposition was more severe in SLD chickens compared to normal chickens, and the expression of genes related to adipogenic differentiation was enhanced in SLD chicken BMSCs. We also detected enhanced mitochondrial function of BMSCs in SLD chickens. In vitro, overexpression of GHR in chicken BMSCs increased mitochondrial membrane potential but decreased reactive oxygen and ATP contents, oxidative phosphorylation complex enzyme activity, and mitochondrial number. Expression of genes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and function was repressed during adipogenic differentiation in chicken BMSCs, the adipogenic differentiation capacity of chicken BMSCs was also repressed. With knockdown of GHR, opposite results were observed. We concluded that GHR inhibited adipogenic differentiation of chicken BMSCs by suppressing mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) have paved a way for treating musculoskeletal diseases in a minimally invasive manner. The regenerative medicine cocktail involves the usage of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), either uncultured or culture-expanded cells along with growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and secretomes to provide a better regenerative milieu in degenerative diseases. The successful regeneration of cartilage depends on the selection of the appropriate source of MSCs, the quality, quantity, and frequency of MSCs to be injected, and the selection of the patient at an appropriate stage of the disease. However, confirmation on the most favorable source of MSCs remains uncertain to clinicians. The lack of knowledge in the current cellular treatment is uncertain in terms of how beneficial MSCs are in the long-term or short-term (resolution of pain) and improved quality of life. Whether MSCs treatments have any superiority, exists due to sources of MSCs utilized in their potential to objectively regenerate the cartilage at the target area. Many questions on source and condition remain unanswered. Hence, in this review, we discuss the lineage differentiation potentials of various sources of MSCs used in the management of knee osteoarthritis and emphasize the role of tissue engineering in cartilage regeneration.

Biological Behavior of Xenogenic Scaffolds in Alcohol-Induced Rats: Histomorphometric and Picrosirius Red Staining Analysis. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:584. [PMID: 35160573 PMCID: PMC8839833 DOI: 10.3390/polym14030584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In this experimental protocol, the objective was to evaluate the biological behavior of two xenogenic scaffolds in alcohol-induced rats through histomorphometric and Picrosirius Red staining analysis of non-critical defects in the tibia of rats submitted or not to alcohol ingestion at 25% v/v. Eighty male rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20 each): CG/B (water diet + Bio-Oss® graft, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland), CG/O (water diet + OrthoGen® graft, Baumer, Mogi Mirim, Brazil), AG/B (25% v/v alcohol diet + Bio-Oss® graft), and AG/O (25% v/v alcohol diet + OrthoGen® graft). After 90 days of liquid diet, the rats were surgically obtained, with a defect in the tibia proximal epiphysis; filled in according to their respective groups; and euthanized at 10, 20, 40 and 60 days. In two initial periods (10 and 20 days), all groups presented biomaterial particles surrounded by disorganized collagen fibrils. Alcoholic animals (AG/B and AG/O) presented, in the cortical and medullary regions, a reactive tissue with inflammatory infiltrate. In 60 days, in the superficial area of the surgical cavities, particles of biomaterials were observed in all groups, with new compact bone tissue around them, without complete closure of the lesion, except in non-alcoholic animals treated with Bio-Oss® xenograft (CG/B), where the new cortical interconnected the edges of the defect. Birefringence transition was observed in the histochemical analysis of collagen fibers by Picrosirius Red, in which all groups in periods of 10 and 20 days showed red-orange birefringence, and from 40 days onwards greenish-yellow birefringence, which demonstrates the characteristic transition from the formation of thin and disorganized collagen fibers initially to more organized and thicker later. In histomorphometric analysis, at 60 days, CG/B had the highest volume density of new bone (32.9 ± 1.15) and AG/O the lowest volume density of new bone (15.32 ± 1.71). It can be concluded that the bone neoformation occurred in the defects that received the two biomaterials, in all periods, but the Bio-Oss® was superior in the results, with its groups CG/B and AG/B displaying greater bone formation (32.9 ± 1.15 and 22.74 ± 1.15, respectively) compared to the OrthoGen® CG/O and AG/O groups (20.66 ± 2.12 and 15.32 ± 1.71, respectively), and that the alcoholic diet interfered negatively in the repair process and in the percentage of new bone formed.

TSG Targeting KDM5A Affects Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induced by Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:6472864. [PMID: 35126937 PMCID: PMC8808180 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6472864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objectives. To investigate the effect of 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and its molecular mechanism. Methods. After TSG treatment of rBMSCs, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was compared between the drug treatment group and the control group. The effects of TSG on alkaline phosphatase positive cloning and mineralized nodule formation were also detected. Total mRNA and protein were extracted, and the effects of TSG on the expression levels of osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix, and Col1a1 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Western blotting was used to detect the inhibitory effect of TSG on KDM5A. BMSCs were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting KDM5A (si-KMD5A) and pcDNA3.1 KMD5A. Results. TSG significantly increased the activity of ALP, the number of alkaline phosphatase clones, and calcified nodule formation. The OPN, OCN, Runx2, and Osterix expression levels were significantly increased among the osteoblasts after TSG treatment. A mechanistic study showed that the effect of TSG is realized by inhibiting KDM5A. Conclusions. KDM5A signaling may be involved in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. TSG can promote osteogenic differentiation and maturation of rBMSCs at 0.1–50 μmol/L. The mechanism of action was realized by inhibiting the expression of KDM5A.

Abstract
Due to the metabolic nature of osteoporosis, this study was conducted to identify metabolomic studies investigating the metabolic profile of low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases up to April 08, 2020, to identify observational studies with cross-sectional or case-control designs investigating the metabolic profile of low BMD in adults using biofluid specimen via metabolomic platform. The quality assessment panel specified for the "omics"-based diagnostic research (QUADOMICS) tool was used to estimate the methodologic quality of the included studies. Ten untargeted and one targeted approach metabolomic studies investigating biomarkers in different biofluids through mass spectrometry or nuclear magnetic resonance platforms were included in the systematic review. Some metabolite panels, rather than individual metabolites, showed promising results in differentiating low BMD from normal. Candidate metabolites were of different categories including amino acids, followed by lipids and carbohydrates. Besides, certain pathways were suggested by some of the studies to be involved. This systematic review suggested that metabolic profiling could improve the diagnosis of low BMD. Despite valuable findings attained from each of these studies, there was great heterogeneity regarding the ethnicity and age of participants, samples, and the metabolomic platform. Further longitudinal studies are needed to validate the results and confirm the predictive role of metabolic profile on low BMD and fracture. It is also mandatory to address and minimize the heterogeneity in future studies by using reliable quantitative methods. Summary: Due to the metabolic nature of osteoporosis, researchers have considered metabolomic studies recently. This systematic review showed that metabolic profiling including different categories of metabolites could improve the diagnosis of low BMD. However, great heterogeneity was observed and it is mandatory to address and minimize the heterogeneity in future studies.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is a progressive hip joint disease without disease-modifying treatment. Lacking understanding of the pathophysiological process of ONFH has become the humper to develop therapeutic approach. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase lipophilic protein during inflammation and we found that SAA is increased for the first time in the serum of ONFH patients through proteomic studies and quantitatively verified by ELISA. Treating rBMSCs with SAA inhibited the osteogenic differentiation via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway deactivation and enhanced the adipogenic differentiation via MAPK/PPARγ signaling pathway activation. Finally, bilateral critical-sized calvarial-defect rat model which received SAA treated rBMSCs demonstrated reduction of bone formation when compared to untreated rBMSCs implantation control. Hence, SAA is a vital protein in the physiological process of ONFH and can act as a potential therapeutic target to treat ONFH.

Abstract
Calcium supplementation is effective in alleviating the process of osteoporosis and the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures for people with long-term calcium deficiency. Herein, five water-stable calcium carboxylate compounds, that is, mononuclear coordination compound [Ca(Cbdcp)(H2O)6]·0.5H2O (1, H3CbdcpBr = N-(4-carboxybenzyl)-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium bromide), and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) {[Ca3(Dcbdcp)2(H2O)12]·2H2O}n (2, H4DcbdcpBr = N-(3,5-dicarboxybenzyl)-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium bromide), {[Ca(Cmdcp)(H2O)4]·3H2O}n (3, H3CmdcpBr = N-carboxymethyl-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium bromide), {[Ca(Cdcbp)]·2H2O}n (4, H3CdcbpBr = 3-carboxyl-(3,5-dicarboxybenzyl)-pyridinium bromide) and {[Ca0.5(Cmcp)]·2H2O}n (5, H2CmcpBr = N-carboxymethyl-(3-carboxyl)pyridinium bromide), were synthesized from the reaction of CaCl2 with five different kinds of zwitterionic carboxylate ligands in the presence of NaOH, respectively. Compounds 1-5 were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Compound 1 features a mononuclear structure and MOF 2 with a one-dimensional (1D) structure while MOFs 3 and 5 with 2D layer structures and MOF 4 showing a 3D structure. Compounds 1-5 exhibited good water stability and possessed considerable biocompatibility with primary mice osteoblasts. The in vitro ability of compounds 1-5 in regulating osteoblastic differentiation was studied via alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red S (ARS) staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Among these 5 compounds, MOF 4 showed the overall best in vitro osteogenic effects. Then, we administrated MOF 4 intragastrically to bilaterally ovariectomized mice for 8 weeks and found that bone loss caused by ovariectomy (OVX) was significantly alleviated. Besides, MOF 4 administration showed no toxic effects in the main organs of the mice. Altogether, zwitterionic carboxylate ligands-based calcium compounds provide a new strategy for calcium agents development.

Myostatin suppresses adipogenic differentiation and lipid accumulation by activating crosstalk between ERK1/2 and PKA signaling pathways in porcine subcutaneous preadipocytes.

Abstract
The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of myostatin (MSTN) on lipid accumulation in porcine subcutaneous preadipocytes (PSPAs) and to further explore the potential molecular mechanisms. PSPAs isolated from Meishan weaned piglets were added with various concentrations of MSTN recombinant protein during the entire period of adipogenic differentiation process. Results showed that MSTN treatment significantly reduced the lipid accumulation, intracellular triglyceride (TG) content, glucose consumption and glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase activity, while increased glycerol and free fatty acid release. Consistent with above results, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway was obviously activated and thus key adipogenic transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha (C/EBP-α) and their downstream engymes fatty acid synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase were all inhibited. However, chemical inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling pathway by PD98059 markedly reversed the decreased TG content by increasing PPAR-γ expression. In addition, MSTN activated the cyclic AMP/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) pathway and stimulated lipolysis by reducing the expression of antilipolytic gene perilipin, thus elevated key lipolytic enzymes adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase expression and enzyme activity. On the contrary, pretreatment with PKA inhibitor H89 significantly reversed TG accumulation by increasing PPAR-γ expression and thus inhibiting ERK1/2, perilipin and HSL phosphorylation, supporting the crosstalk between PKA and ERK1/2 pathways in both the anti-adipogenic and pro-lipolytic effects. In summary, our results suggested that MSTN suppressed adipogenesis and stimulated lipolysis, which was mainly mediated by activating crosstalk of ERK1/2 and PKA signaling pathways, and consequently decreased lipid accumulation in PSPAs, our findings may provide novel insights for further exploring MSTN as a potent inhibitor of porcine subcutaneous lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Metabolism is one of the most complex cellular biochemical reactions, providing energy and substances for basic activities such as cell growth and proliferation. Early studies have shown that glucose is an important nutrient in osteoblasts. In addition, amino acid metabolism and fat metabolism also play important roles in bone reconstruction. Mammalian circadian clocks regulate the circadian cycles of various physiological functions. In vertebrates, circadian rhythms are mediated by a set of central clock genes: muscle and brain ARNT like-1 (Bmal1), muscle and brain ARNT like-2 (Bmal2), circadian rhythmic motion output cycle stagnates (Clock), cryptochrome 1 (Cry1), cryptochrome2 (Cry2), period 1 (Per1), period 2 (Per2), period 3 (Per3) and neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (Npas2). Negative feedback loops, controlled at both the transcriptional and posttranslational levels, adjust these clock genes in a diurnal manner. According to the results of studies on circadian transcriptomic studies in several tissues, most rhythmic genes are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and are affected by tissue-specific circadian rhythms. The circadian rhythm regulates several activities, including energy metabolism, feeding time, sleeping, and endocrine and immune functions. It has been reported that the circadian rhythms of mammals are closely related to bone metabolism. In this review, we discuss the regulation of the circadian rhythm/circadian clock gene in osteoblasts/osteoclasts and the energy metabolism of bone, and the relationship between circadian rhythm, bone remodeling, and energy metabolism. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of regulating circadian rhythms or changing energy metabolism on bone development/bone regeneration.

Abstract
Periostin, an extracellular matrix protein, is widely expressed in a variety of tissues and cells. It has many biological functions and is related to many diseases: for example, it promotes cell proliferation and differentiation in osteoblasts, which are closely related to osteoporosis, and mediates cell senescence and apoptosis in chondrocytes, which are involved in osteoarthritis. Furthermore, it also plays an important role in mediating inflammation and reconstruction during bronchial asthma, as well as in promoting bone development, reconstruction, repair, and strength. Therefore, periostin has been explored as a potential biomarker for various diseases. Recently, periostin has also been found to be expressed in intervertebral disc cells as a component of the intervertebral extracellular matrix, and to play a crucial role in the maintenance and degeneration of intervertebral discs. This article reviews the biological role of periostin in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, and annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus cells, which are closely related to spinal degenerative diseases. The study of its pathophysiological effects is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal degeneration, although additional studies are needed.

Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to analyze behavioral changes of adrenergic receptors (ARs) in first three passages and osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from placenta fetal membrane (FM) and bone marrow (BM). It was also aimed to evaluate effects of receptor blockade on differentiation. We obtained first three passages of MSCs from placenta and BM samples. For cell identification, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using CD34, CD45 and CD3, CD105 antibodies in each passage. The effects of propranolol and phenoxybenzamine at incremental doses were analyzed by MTT. In addition, cell cultures were separately maintained with the blockers or without after second passage. After each passage and differentiation, α1A, α1B, α2A, α2B, β1, β2, β3 AR-mRNA expressions analyzed by RT-qPCR technique. BMP6 and PPARG mRNA expressions only after differentiation and passage 3 were analyzed. A microscopic examination was also performed. Our results showed that AR expression behaviors were different in MSCs obtained from different tissue sources. In particular, α1A-AR and α2A-AR were expressed with considerably high coefficients in differentiation under blocker effect in BM-derived MSCs. No such coefficients were observed in any group of placental MSCs. In addition, it was found that the blockers stimulated adipogenesis in BM-derived MSCs during osteogenic differentiation. MSCs exhibit protein expressions that vary according to source of tissue and differentiation. Given that MSCs from different sources are used for repair and modulation, our study makes implications of this variable expression intriguing in the clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a promising way to repair bone defect, bone tissue engineering has attracted a lot of attentions from researchers in recent years. Searching for new molecular target to modify the seed cells and enhance their osteogenesis capacity is one of the hot topics in this field. As a member of aldo-keto reductase family, aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 (AKR1C1) is reported to associate with various tumors. However, whether AKR1C1 takes part in regulating differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (ASCs) and its relationship with progesterone receptor (PGR) remain unclear. METHODS Lost-and-gain-of-function experiments were performed using knockdown and overexpression of AKR1C1 to identify its role in regulating osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs in vitro. Heterotypic bone and adipose tissue formation assay in nude mice were used to conduct the in vivo experiment. Plasmid and siRNA of PGR, as well as western blot, were used to clarify the mechanism AKR1C1 regulating osteogenesis. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that AKR1C1 acted as a negative regulator of osteogenesis and a positive regulator of adipogenesis of hASCs via its enzyme activity both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PGR mediated the regulation of AKR1C1 on osteogenesis. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study suggested that AKR1C1 could serve as a regulator of osteogenic differentiation via targeting PGR and be used as a new molecular target for ASCs modification in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) and their metabolites are considered essential factors to support bone and joint health. The n-6 PUFAs suppress the osteoblasts differentiation via increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) expression and promoting adipogenesis while n-3 PUFAs promote osteoblastogenesis by down-regulating PPARγ and enhancing osteoblastic activity. Arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolite prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are key regulators of osteoclast differentiation via induction of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) pathway. Marine-derived n-3 LCPUFAs have been shown to inhibit osteoclastogenesis by decreasing the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/RANKL signalling pathway mediated by a reduction of pro-inflammatory PGE2 derived from AA. Omega-3 PUFAs reduce the expression of cartilage degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs-5 (ADAMTS-5) protein, oxidative stress and thereby apoptosis via nuclear factor kappa-betta (NF-kβ) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) pathways. In this review, a diverse range of important effects of LCPUFAs on bone cells and chondrocyte was highlighted through different mechanisms of action established by cell cultures and animal studies. This review allows a better understanding of the possible role of LCPUFAs in bone and chondrocyte metabolism as potential therapeutics in combating the pathological complications such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Abstract
In this study, we assessed the ability of miR-26b-5p to regulate T cell factor 4 (TCF-4) expression and thereby control human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hADMSC) adipogenic differentiation. Adipogenic medium was used to induce hADMSC differentiation over a 6-d period. The ability of miR-26b-5p to interact with the TCF-4 mRNA was confirmed through both predictive bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter assays. Immunofluorescent staining was used to visualize the impact of miR-26b-5p inhibition or overexpression on TCF-4 and β-catenin levels in hADMSCs. Further functional analyses were conducted by transfecting these cells with siRNAs specific for TCF-4 and β-catenin. Adipogenic marker and Wnt/β-catenin pathway gene expression levels were assessed via real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. β-catenin localization was assessed via immunofluorescent staining. As expected, our adipogenic media induced the adipocytic differentiation of hADMSCs. In addition, we confirmed that TCF-4 is an miR-26b-5p target gene in these cells, and that protein levels of both TCF-4 and β-catenin were reduced when these cells were transfected with miR-26b-5p mimics. Overexpression of this microRNA also enhanced hADMSC adipogenesis, whereas TCF-4 and β-catenin overexpression inhibited this process. The enhanced hADMSC adipogenic differentiation that was observed following TCF-4 or β-catenin knockdown was partially reversed when miR-26b-5p expression was inhibited. We found that miR-26b-5p serves as a direct negative regulator of TCF-4 expression within hADMSCs, leading to inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and thereby promoting the adipogenic differentiation of these cells in vitro.

Fundamental changes in endogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells during Type I Diabetes is a pre-neuropathy event. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2021; 1867:166187.

Abstract
Deficiency of angiogenic and neurotrophic factors under long term diabetes is known to lead to Schwann cell degeneration, clinically manifested as Diabetic Neuropathy (DN). While the transplantation of exogenous allogenic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) has shown amelioration of DN through paracrine action, it is not known what functional changes occur in endogenous bone-marrow MSCs under chronic diabetes in terms of homing, migration and/or paracrine signalling with reference to the end-point clinical manifestation of Diabetic Neuropathy. We thus aimed at determining the changes in BM-MSCs under Type 1 Diabetes with respect to survival, self-renewal, oxidative status, paracrine activity, intracellular Ca2+ response and migration in response to pathological cytokine/chemokine, in reference to the time-point of decline in Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) in a rat model. Within one week of diabetes induction, BM-MSCs underwent apoptosis, and compromised their self-renewal capacity, antioxidant defence mechanism and migration toward cytokine/chemokine; whereas epineurial blood vessel thickening and demyelination resulting in NCV decline were observed only after three weeks. By two- and three-weeks post diabetes induction, BM-MSC apoptosis reduced and proliferative ability was restored; however, their self-renewal, migration and intracellular Ca2+ response toward pathological cytokine/chemokine remained impaired. These results indicate that T1D induced intrinsic functional impairments in endogenous BM-MSCs occur before neuropathy onset. This timeline of functional alterations in BM-MSCs also suggest that treatment strategies that target the bone marrow niche early on may help to modulate BM-MSC functional impairments and thus slow down the progression of neuropathy.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is considered protective for bone mass, but this view has been progressively challenged. Menopause is characterized by low bone mass and increased adiposity. Our aim was to determine how visceral and bone marrow adiposity change following ovariectomy (OVX), how they correlate with bone quality and if they are influenced by physical activity. Methods: Five-month-old Wistar rats were OVX or sham-operated and maintained in sedentary or physically active conditions for 9 months. Visceral and bone marrow adiposity as well as bone turnover, femur bone quality and biomechanical properties were assessed. Results: OVX resulted in higher weight, visceral and bone marrow adiposity. Visceral adiposity correlated inversely with femur Ct.Th (r = −0.63, p < 0.001), BV/TV (r = −0.67, p < 0.001), Tb.N (r = −0.69, p < 0.001) and positively with Tb.Sp (r = 0.58, p < 0.001). Bone marrow adiposity also correlated with bone resorption (r = 0.47, p < 0.01), bone formation rate (r = −0.63, p < 0.01), BV/TV (r = −0.85, p < 0.001), Ct.Th (r = −0.51, p < 0.0.01), and with higher empty osteocyte lacunae (r = 0.39, p < 0.05), higher percentage of osteocytes with oxidative stress (r = 0.64, p < 0.0.01) and lower femur maximal stress (r = −0.58, p < 0.001). Physical activity correlated inversely with both visceral (r = −0.74, p < 0.01) and bone marrow adiposity (r = −0.92, p < 0.001). Conclusions: OVX increases visceral and bone marrow adiposity which are associated with inferior bone quality and biomechanical properties. Physical activity could contribute to reduce adipose tissue and thereby improve bone quality.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin, leading to chronic hemolytic anemia and multiple organ damage. Among chronic organ complications, sickle cell bone disease (SBD) has a very high prevalence, resulting in long-term disability, chronic pain and fractures. Here, we evaluated the effects of ω-3 (fish oil-based, FD)-enriched diet vs. ω-6 (soybean oil-based, SD)- supplementation on murine SBD. We exposed SCD mice to recurrent hypoxia/reoxygenation (rec H/R), a consolidated model for SBD. In rec H/R SS mice, FD improves osteoblastogenesis/osteogenic activity by downregulating osteoclast activity via miR205 down-modulation and reduces both systemic and local inflammation. We also evaluated adipogenesis in both AA and SS mice fed with either SD or FD and exposed to rec H/R. FD reduced and reprogramed adipogenesis from white to brown adipocyte tissue (BAT) in bone compartments. This was supported by increased expression of uncoupling protein 1(UCP1), a BAT marker, and up-regulation of miR455, which promotes browning of white adipose tissue. Our findings provide new insights on the mechanism of action of ω-3 fatty acid supplementation on the pathogenesis of SBD and strengthen the rationale for ω-3 fatty acid dietary supplementation in SCD as a complementary therapeutic intervention.
