Jin Y, Wu A, Bian S, Teng J. Icariin upregulates methyltransferase-like 14-mediated prolyl 4-hydroxylase beta subunit m6A modification to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells. Exp Cell Res 2024; 440:114138. [PMID: 38906316 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Prolyl 4-hydroxylase beta subunit (P4HB) plays a vital role in bone formation. This study intends to clarify the role of P4HB in the therapeutic effect of Icariin (ICA) on osteoporosis. Herein, in vivo and in vitro models were constructed by performing ovariectomy (OVX) in rats and inducing osteogenic differentiation in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), respectively. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and micro-computed tomography analysis were performed to evaluate osteoporosis in OVX rats. Alizarin Red staining, alkaline phosphatase staining, and the ALP activity test were employed to assess osteogenesis. m6A dot blotting and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation were used to determine m6A modification. We found that P4HB was downregulated in bone tissues of patients with osteoporosis and OVX rats. P4HB facilitated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. What's more, ICA upregulated P4HB expression, promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and alleviated osteoporosis in OVX rats, which were reversed by knocking down P4HB. ICA enhanced the stability and m6A modification of P4HB. METTL14 mediated m6A modification of P4HB mRNA. In addition, METTL14 knockdown overturned the promotive effects of ICA on P4HB m6A level and BMSC osteogenic differentiation. To sum up, ICA elevated the METTL14-mediated m6A modification of P4HB to facilitate BMSC osteogenic differentiation.

Inhibition of Protein Disulfide Isomerase Attenuates Osteoclast Differentiation and Function via the Readjustment of Cellular Redox State in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

Abstract
Due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heightened activity of osteoclasts, postmenopausal osteoporosis could cause severe pathological bone destruction. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an endoplasmic prototypic thiol isomerase, plays a central role in affecting cellular redox state. To test whether suppression of PDI could inhibit osteoclastogenesis through cellular redox regulation, bioinformatics network analysis was performed on the causative genes, followed by biological validation on the osteoclastogenesis in vitro and ovariectomy (OVX) mice model in vivo. The analysis identified PDI as one of gene targets for postmenopausal osteoporosis, which was positively expressed during osteoclastogenesis. Therefore, PDI expression inhibitor and chaperone activity inhibitor were used to verify the effects of PDI inhibitors on osteoclastogenesis. Results demonstrated that PDI inhibitors could reduce osteoclast number and inhibit resorption function via suppression on osteoclast marker genes. The mechanisms behind the scenes were the PDI inhibitors-caused intracellular ROS reduction via enhancement of the antioxidant system. Micro-CT and histological results indicated PDI inhibitors could effectively alleviate or even prevent bone loss in OVX mice. In conclusion, our findings unveiled the suppressive effects of PDI inhibitors on osteoclastogenesis by reducing intracellular ROS, providing new therapeutic options for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Effects of 625 nm light-emitting diode irradiation on preventing ER stress-induced apoptosis via GSK-3β phosphorylation in MC3T3-E1. Photochem Photobiol 2024. [PMID: 38214077 DOI: 10.1111/php.13906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Prolonged endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to cell apoptosis and interferes with bone homeostasis. Although photobiomodulation (PBM) might be used for ER stress-induced diseases, the role of PBM in relieving cell apoptosis remains unknown. During ER stress, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is critical; however, its functions in PBM remain uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of GSK-3β in 625 nm light-emitting diode irradiation (LEDI) relieving tunicamycin (TM)-induced apoptosis. Based on the results, pre-625 nm LEDI (Pre-IR) phosphorylated GSK-3β via ROS production. Compared with the TM group, Pre-IR + TM group reduced the phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2α) and B-cell lymphoma protein 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X (Bax)/Bcl-2 ratio through regulating GSK-3β. Furthermore, a similar tendency was observed between Pre-IR + TM and Pre-LiCl+TM groups in preventing TM-induced early and late apoptosis. In summary, this study suggests that the Pre-IR treatment in TM-induced ER stress is beneficial for preventing cell apoptosis via GSK-3β phosphorylation.

Abstract
Differentiation and optimal function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts are contingent on synthesis and maintenance of a healthy proteome. Impaired and/or altered secretory capacity of these skeletal cells is a primary driver of most skeletal diseases. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) orchestrates the folding and maturation of membrane as well as secreted proteins at high rates within a calcium rich and oxidative organellar niche. Three ER membrane proteins monitor fidelity of protein processing in the ER and initiate an intricate signaling cascade known as the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) to remediate accumulation of misfolded proteins in its lumen, a condition referred to as ER stress. The UPR aids in fine-tuning, expanding and/or modifying the cellular proteome, especially in specialized secretory cells, to match everchanging physiologic cues and metabolic demands. Sustained activation of the UPR due to chronic ER stress, however, is known to hasten cell death and drive pathophysiology of several diseases. A growing body of evidence suggests that ER stress and an aberrant UPR may contribute to poor skeletal health and the development of osteoporosis. Small molecule therapeutics that target distinct components of the UPR may therefore have implications for developing novel treatment modalities relevant to the skeleton. This review summarizes the complexity of UPR actions in bone cells in the context of skeletal physiology and osteoporotic bone loss, and highlights the need for future mechanistic studies to develop novel UPR therapeutics that mitigate adverse skeletal outcomes.

Abstract
Osteoblasts must acquire a considerable capacity for folding unfolded and misfolded proteins (MPs) to produce large amounts of extracellular matrix proteins and maintain bone homeostasis. MP accumulation contributes to cellular apoptosis and bone disorders. Photobiomodulation therapy has been used to treat bone diseases, but the effects of decreasing MPs with photobiomodulation remain unclear. In this study, we explored the efficacy of 625 nm light-emitting diode irradiation (LEDI) to reduce MPs in tunicamycin (TM) induced-MC3T3-E1 cells. Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP), an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent chaperone, is used to evaluate the capacity of folding MPs. The results revealed that pretreatment with 625 nm LEDI (Pre-IR) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, leading to the increased chaperone BiP through the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)/X-box binding protein 1s (XBP-1s) pathway, and then restoration of collagen type I (COL-I) and osteopontin (OPN) expression relieving cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the translocation of BiP into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen might be followed by a high level of ATP production. Taken together, these results suggest that Pre-IR could be beneficial to prevent MP accumulation through ROS and ATP in TM-induced MC3T3-E1cells.

Abstract
Although endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is thought to be involved in various diseases such as cancer, metabolic, and inflammatory disorders, the relationship between ER stress and bone diseases, are remains unclear. Tunicamycin-treated MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were used as the ER stress model in this study. 635 nm light-emitting diode irradiation (635 nm-IR) was carried out for 1 h before and after inducing ER stress. To investigate the effects of 635 nm-IR on ER stress-induced MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts and the underlying mechanism, western blot, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin red staining, 2',7'-dichlorodyhydrofluorescein diacetate assay, Fluo-3AM and immunocytochemistry were performed. Pretreatment with 635 nm-IR effectively prevented intracellular reactive oxygen species production and alleviated ER stress through the pancreatic ER kinase (PERK)-eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2)-activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)-nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway. Hence, 635 nm-IR may serve a protective role in the treatment of ER stress-related bone diseases.

Abstract
Micro/nano-topography (MNT) can promote osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, but the mechanism of topographical signaling transduction remains unclear. We have confirmed MNT, as a stressor, triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activates unfolded protein response in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and such topography-induced ER stress promotes osteogenic differentiation. In order to reveal the influence of nanotube dimensions on ER stress, MNTs containing vertically oriented TiO2 nanotubes of diameters ranging from 30 nm to 100 nm were fabricated on pure titanium (Ti) foils, and ER stress and osteogenic differentiation of cells were systematically studied. After 12 h of cultivation, the transmission electron microscopy showed that cells on MNTs presented gross distortions of rough ER morphology containing the electron-dense material, and the expansion of the ER lumen became more pronounced as the dimension of nanotubes increased. Additionally, PCR and western blotting showed that the ER stress-related gene, the ER chaperone 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein, also known as binding-immunoglobulin protein (GRP78/BiP), was up-regulated, which was consistent with the osteogenesis-inducing ability of MNTs. Based on our previous studies, the findings in this article further revealed the mechanism for topographical cues modulating osteogenic differentiation of cells, which may provide an innovative approach for the optimal design of implant surface topography.

Abstract
Bone healing in tooth extraction sockets occurs in a complex environment containing saliva and many microorganisms and is affected by many factors. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress affects bone metabolism, but the role of ER stress in bone healing after tooth extraction remains unclear. We utilized a rat tooth extraction model, in which we promoted wound healing by using salubrinal to regulate the ER stress response. Western blot analysis showed increased expression of p‐eIF2α/eIF2α, Runx2 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in bone tissue, and histological assays showed irregularly arranged and new bone with more collagen fibres 14 days after tooth extraction and after modulating the degree of ER stress. Micro‐CT showed that modulating ER stress to an appropriate degree increases bone filling in regards to the density in the bottom and the surrounding bone wall of the tooth extraction wounds. Transmission electron microscopy showed rough ER expansion and newly formed collagen fibrils in osteoblasts after modulating ER stress to an appropriate degree. We also used different concentrations of salubrinal to evaluate the resistance to tunicamycin‐induced ER stress in an osteogenic induction environment. Salubrinal restored the tunicamycin‐induced decrease in the viability of primary calvarial osteoblasts and increased the expression of Runx2 and ALP, and decreased p‐eIF2α/eIF2α in a dose‐dependent manner. Taken together, the results demonstrate that ER stress occurred after tooth extraction, and regulating the degree of ER stress can promote bone healing in tooth extraction sockets, providing clinical evidence for bone healing.

Abstract
Bone disease severely affects the quality of life of over 70% of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, which daily experience pain, pathological fractures, mobility issues and an increased mortality. Recent data have highlighted the crucial role of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated unfolded protein response (UPR) in malignant transformation and tumor progression; therefore, targeting of UPR-related molecules may open novel therapeutic avenues. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and UPR pathways are constitutively activated in MM cells, which are characterized by an increased protein turnover as a consequence of high production of immunoglobulins and high rates of protein synthesis. A great deal of scientific data also evidenced that a mild activation of UPR pathway can regulate cellular differentiation. Our previous studies revealed that MM cell-derived small extracellular vesicle (MM-EV) modulated osteoclasts (OCs) function and induced OCs differentiation. Here, we investigated the role of the UPR pathway, and in particular of the IRE1α/XBP1 axis, in osteoclastogenesis induced by MM-EVs. By proteomic analysis, we identified UPR signaling molecules as novel MM-EV cargo, prompting us to evaluate the effects of the MM-EVs on osteoclastogenesis through UPR pathway. MM-EVs administration in a murine macrophage cell line rapidly induced activation of IRE1α by phosphorylation in S724; accordingly, Xbp1 mRNA splicing was increased and the transcription of NFATc1, a master transcription factor for OCs differentiation, was activated. Some of these results were also validated using both human primary OC cultures and MM-EVs from MM patients. Notably, a chemical inhibitor of IRE1α (GSK2850163) counteracted MM-EV-triggered OC differentiation, hampering the terminal stages of OCs differentiation and reducing bone resorption.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a major global public health concern and older women are more susceptible to experiencing fragility fractures. Our study investigated the associations between circulating proteins with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with or without low BMD (osteoporosis and osteopenia) using a tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling proteomic experiment and parallel reaction monitoring testing. Across all plasma samples, we quantitatively measured 1,092 proteins, and the OP and normal control (NC) samples were differentiated by principal component analysis and a partial least squares-discrimination analysis model based on the protein profiling data. The differentially abundant proteins between the low BMD and NC samples mostly exhibited binding, molecular function regulator, transporter and molecular transducer activity, and were involved in metabolic and cellular processes, stimulus response, biological regulation, immune system processes and so forth. TMT analysis and RRM validation indicated that the expression of protein Lysozyme C (P61626) was negatively related to BMD, while the expression of proteins Glucosidase (A0A024R592) and Protein disulfideisomerase A5 (Q14554) was positively related to BMD values. Collectively, our results suggest that postmenopausal women with low BMD have a different proteomic profile or signature. Protein alterations may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PMOP, and they may act as novel biomarkers and targets of therapeutic agents for this disease.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) receives unfolded proteins predestined for the secretory pathway or to be incorporated as transmembrane proteins. The ER has to accommodate the proper folding and glycosylation of these proteins and also to properly incorporate transmembrane proteins. However, under various circumstances, the proteins shuttling through the ER can be misfolded and undergo aggregation, which causes activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is mediated through three primary pathways: activating transcription factor-6, inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), and PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, which up-regulate ER folding chaperones and temporarily suppress protein translation. The UPR can be both cytoprotective and/or cytotoxic depending on the duration of UPR activation and the type of host cell. Proteostasis controls stem cell function, while stress responses affect stem cell identity and differentiation. The present review aimed to explore and discuss the effects of the UPR pathways on mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Objective The association between inflammation and dysregulated bone remodeling is apparent in rheumatoid arthritis and is recapitulated in the human tumor necrosis factor transgenic (hTNFtg) mouse model. We investigated whether extracellular binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) would protect the hTNFtg mouse from both inflammatory arthritis as well as extensive systemic bone loss and whether BiP had direct antiosteoclast properties in vitro. Methods hTNFtg mice received a single intraperitoneal administration of BiP at onset of arthritis. Clinical disease parameters were measured weekly. Bone analysis was performed by microcomputed tomography and histomorphometry. Mouse bone marrow macrophage and human peripheral blood monocyte precursors were used to study the direct effect of BiP on osteoclast differentiation and function in vitro. Monocyte and osteoclast signaling was analyzed by Western blotting, flow cytometry, and imaging flow cytometry. Results BiP-treated mice showed reduced inflammation and cartilage destruction, and histomorphometric analysis revealed a decrease in osteoclast number with protection from systemic bone loss. Abrogation of osteoclast function was also observed in an ex vivo murine calvarial model. BiP inhibited differentiation of osteoclast precursors and prevented bone resorption by mature osteoclasts in vitro. BiP also induced downregulation of CD115/c-Fms and Receptor Activator of NF-κB (RANK) messenger RNA and protein, causing reduced phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 and p38, with suppression of essential osteoclast transcription factors, c-Fos and NFATc1. BiP directly inhibited TNF-α- or Receptor Activator of NF-κB Ligand (RANKL)-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation in THP-1 monocytic cells and preosteoclasts by the canonical and noncanonical pathways. Conclusion BiP combines an anti-inflammatory function with antiosteoclast activity, which establishes it as a potential novel therapeutic for inflammatory disorders associated with bone loss.

Abstract
Palmitic acid (PA) is the most common saturated long-chain fatty acid in food that causes cell apoptosis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of PA toxicity. In this study, we explore the effects of PA on proliferation and apoptosis in human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells and uncover the signaling pathways involved in the process. Our study showed that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy are involved in PA-induced Saos-2 cell apoptosis. We found that PA inhibited the viability of Saos-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. At the same time, PA induced the expression of ER stress marker genes (glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP)), altered autophagy-related gene expression (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), ATG5, p62, and Beclin), promoted apoptosis-related gene expression (Caspase 3 and BAX), and affected autophagic flux. Inhibiting ER stress with 4-PBA diminished the PA-induced cell apoptosis, activated autophagy, and increased the expression of Caspase 3 and BAX. Inhibiting autophagy with 3-MA attenuated the PA and ER stress-induced cell apoptosis and the apoptosis-related gene expression (Caspase 3 and BAX), but seemed to have no obvious effects on ER stress, although the CHOP expression was downregulated. Taken together, our results suggest that PA-induced Saos-2 cell apoptosis is activated via ER stress and autophagy, and the activation of autophagy depends on the ER stress during this process.

Osteoporos Int 2017; 28:3033-3042. [PMID: 28741036 PMCID: PMC5812280 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-017-4146-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2017] [Accepted: 07/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
In this study, label-free-based quantitative subcellular proteomics integrated with network analysis highlighted several candidate genes including P4HB, ITGB1, CD36, and ACTN1 that may be involved in osteoporosis. All of them are predicted as significant membrane proteins with high confidence and enriched in bone-related biological process. The results were further verified in transcriptomic and genomic levels. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease mainly characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD). As the precursors of osteoclasts, peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) are supported to be important candidates for identifying genes related to osteoporosis. We performed subcellular proteomics study to identify significant membrane proteins that involved in osteoporosis. METHODS To investigate the association between monocytes, membrane proteins, and osteoporosis, we performed label-free quantitative subcellular proteomics in 59 male subjects with discordant BMD levels, with 30 high vs. 29 low BMD subjects. Subsequently, we performed integrated gene enrichment analysis, functional annotation, and pathway and network analysis based on multiple bioinformatics tools. RESULTS A total of 1070 membrane proteins were identified and quantified. By comparing the proteins' expression level, we found 36 proteins that were differentially expressed between high and low BMD groups. Protein localization prediction supported the notion that the differentially expressed proteins, P4HB (p = 0.0021), CD36 (p = 0.0104), ACTN1 (p = 0.0381), and ITGB1 (p = 0.0385), are significant membrane proteins. Functional annotation and pathway and network analysis highlighted that P4HB, ITGB1, CD36, and ACTN1 are enriched in osteoporosis-related pathways and terms including "ECM-receptor interaction," "calcium ion binding," "leukocyte transendothelial migration," and "reduction of cytosolic calcium levels." Results from transcriptomic and genomic levels provided additional supporting evidences. CONCLUSION Our study strongly supports the significance of the genes P4HB, ITGB1, CD36, and ACTN1 to the etiology of osteoporosis risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification is common among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. Deoxycholic acid, a metabolite of circulating bile acids, is elevated in CKD and induces vascular mineralization and osteogenic differentiation in animal models. STUDY DESIGN Cohort analysis of clinical trial participants. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 112 patients with moderate to severe CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate, 20-45mL/min/1.73m2) who participated in a randomized controlled study to examine the effects of phosphate binders on vascular calcification. PREDICTOR Serum deoxycholic acid concentration. OUTCOMES Baseline coronary artery calcification (CAC) volume score and bone mineral density (BMD) and change in CAC volume score and BMD after 9 months. MEASUREMENTS Deoxycholic acid was assayed in stored baseline serum samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, CAC was measured using a GE-Imitron C150 scanner, and BMD was determined using computed tomographic scans of the abdomen with calibrated phantom of known density. RESULTS Higher serum deoxycholic acid concentrations were significantly correlated with greater baseline CAC volume and lower baseline BMD. After adjusting for demographics, coexisting illness, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and concentrations of circulating markers of mineral metabolism, including serum calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and fibroblast growth factor 23, a serum deoxycholic acid concentration > 58ng/mL (the median) was positively associated with baseline CAC volume (β=0.71; 95% CI, 0.26-1.16; P=0.003) and negatively associated with baseline BMD (β = -20.3; 95% CI, -1.5 to -39.1; P=0.04). Serum deoxycholic acid concentration > 58ng/mL was not significantly associated with change in CAC volume score after 9 months (β=0.06; 95% CI, -0.09 to 0.21; P=0.4). The analysis for the relationship between baseline deoxycholic acid concentrations and change in BMD after 9 months was not statistically significant, but was underpowered. LIMITATIONS The use of nonfasting serum samples is a limitation because deoxycholic acid concentrations may vary based on time of day and dietary intake. Few trial participants with complete data to evaluate the change in CAC volume score (n=75) and BMD (n=59). No data for changes in deoxycholic acid concentrations over time. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with moderate to severe CKD, higher serum deoxycholic acid concentrations were independently associated with greater baseline CAC volume score and lower baseline BMD.

Abstract
The topography of biomaterials can significantly influence the osteogenic differentiation of cells. Understanding topographical signal transduction is critical for developing biofunctional surfaces, but the current knowledge is insufficient. Recently, numerous reports have suggested that the unfolded protein response (UPR) and osteogenic differentiation are inter-linked. Therefore, we hypothesize that the UPR pathway may be involved in the topography-induced osteogenesis. In the present study, different surface topographies were fabricated on pure titanium foils and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and UPR pathway were systematically investigated. We found that ER stress and the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway were activated in a time- and topography-dependent manner. Additionally, the activation of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway by different topographies was in line with their osteogenic induction capability. More specifically, the osteogenic differentiation could be enhanced or weakened when the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway was promoted or inhibited, respectively. Furthermore, tuning of the degree of ER stress with different concentrations of thapsigargin revealed that mild ER stress promotes osteogenic differentiation, whereas excessive ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation and causes apoptosis. Taken together, our findings suggest that the UPR may play a critical role in topography-induced osteogenic differentiation, which may help to provide new insights into topographical signal transduction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Suitable implant surface topography can effectively improve bioactivity and eventual bone affinity. However, the mechanism of topographical signaling transduction is unclear and criteria for designation of an appropriate implant surface topography is lacking. This study shows that the ER stress and PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway were activated by micro- and micro/nano-topographies, which is corresponding to the osteogenic induction abilities of these topographies. Furthermore, we have found that mild ER stress improves osteogenic differentiation, whereas excessive ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation and causes apoptosis. Our findings demonstrate that the UPR plays a critical role in the topography induced osteogenic differentiation, which may help to provide new insights into the topographical signaling transduction.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a major skeletal disease with low bone mineral density, which leads to an increased risk of bone fracture. Salubrinal is a synthetic chemical that inhibits dephosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. To understand possible linkage of osteoporosis to ER stress, we employed an unloading mouse model and examined the effects of salubrinal in the pathogenesis of disuse osteoporosis. The results presented several lines of evidence that osteoclastogenesis in the development of osteoporosis was associated with ER stress, and salubrinal suppressed unloading-induced bone loss. Compared to the age-matched control, unloaded mice reduced the trabecular bone area/total area (B.Ar/T.Ar) as well as the number of osteoblasts, and they increased the osteoclasts number on the trabecular bone surface in a time-dependent way. Unloading-induced disuse osteoporosis significantly increased the expression of Bip, p-eIF2α and ATF4 in short-term within 6h of tail suspension, but time-dependent decreased in HU2d to HU14d. Furthermore, a significant correlation of ER stress with the differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts was observed. Administration of salubrinal suppressed the unloading-induced decrease in bone mineral density, B.Ar/T.Ar and mature osteoclast formation. Salubrinal also increased the colony-forming unit-fibroblasts and colony-forming unit-osteoblasts. It reduced the formation of mature osteoclasts, suppressed their migration and adhesion, and increased the expression of Bip, p-eIF2α and ATF4. Electron microscopy showed that rough endoplasmic reticulum expansion and a decreased number of ribosomes on ER membrane were observed in osteoblast of unloading mice, and the abnormal ER expansion was significantly improved by salubrinal treatment. A TUNEL assay together with CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) expression indicated that ER stress-induced osteoblast apoptosis was rescued by salubrinal. Collectively, the results support the notion that ER stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of disuse osteoporosis, and salubrinal attenuates unloading-induced bone loss by altering proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts via eIF2α signaling.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle where secretory and membrane proteins are synthesized and folded. Unfolded proteins that are retained within the ER can cause ER stress. Eukaryotic cells have a defense system called the “unfolded protein response” (UPR), which protects cells from ER stress. Cells undergo apoptosis when ER stress exceeds the capacity of the UPR, which has been revealed to cause human diseases. Although neurodegenerative diseases are well-known ER stress-related diseases, it has been discovered that endocrine diseases are also related to ER stress. In this review, we focus on ER stress-related human endocrine disorders. In addition to diabetes mellitus, which is well characterized, several relatively rare genetic disorders such as familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI), Wolfram syndrome, and isolated growth hormone deficiency type II (IGHD2) are discussed in this article.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The accumulation of unfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) initiates an unfolded protein response (UPR) via three signal transduction cascades, which involve protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), inositol requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α) and activating transcription factor-6α (ATF6α). An ER stress response is observed in nearly all physiologies related to acute and chronic liver disease and therapeutic targeting of the mechanisms implicated in UPR signaling have attracted considerable attention. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the correlation between ER stress and liver disease and the possible targets which may drive the potential for novel therapeutic intervention. Expert Commentary: We describe pathways which are involved in UPR signaling and their potential correlation with various liver diseases and underlying mechanisms which may present opportunities for novel therapeutic strategies are discussed.

BMC COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2016; 16:291.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by decreased bone strength, decreased bone mass, and bone deterioration. Oxidative damage is an important contributor to functional changes in the development of osteoporosis. Here we found that porcine placenta hydrolysates (PPHs) protect MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage. METHODS In vitro cell viability was determined using trypan blue dye exclusion. ER stress and apoptosis were evaluated using immunoblotting and a commercially available caspase kit. ALP, osteocalcin, Runx2, and osterix expression levels were evaluated by RT-PCR using isolated RNA. ROS, NADPH oxidase, and SOD activity levels were also measured. RESULTS We investigated the mechanisms underlying PPH-mediated inhibition of H2O2-induced ER stress and ROS production. PPHs also regulated osteoblast differentiation via the upregulation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Also, treatment with PPHs enhanced the transcription of osteocalcin, Runx2, and osterix. These effects were all associated with the antioxidant actions of PPHs. Moreover, PPHs reversed the decrease in SOD activity, decreased ROS release, and inhibited NADPH oxidase activity in H2O2-treated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. CONCLUSIONS PPHs protect cells against H2O2-induced cell damage when ER stress is involved. In addition, PPHs enhance osteoblast differentiation. This enhancement likely explains the regulatory effect of PPHs on bone metabolism disturbances, i.e. PPHs control ER stress and the related ROS production in osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In bone metabolism, Ca(2+) disturbance and oxidative damage are the main biochemical factors related to pathology. Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells that also control bone endocrinology. Endocrine hormones and proteins are matured, folded, and secreted in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER stress has emerged as a new pathological mechanism to explain bone disturbance. Here we studied the role of porcine placenta hydrolysates (PPHs) in the regulation of ER stress. METHODS Cell viability was determined in vitro using trypan blue dye exclusion. ER stress and apoptosis were evaluated using immunoblotting and a caspase kit. The fluorescent Ca(2+)-binding dye Fura-2/AM was used to measure changes in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i). ROS levels, NADPH oxidase activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were also measured. RESULTS PPHs protected MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells against thapsigargin (Tg)-induced ER stress. Moreover, PPHs regulated caspase-12 and -3 activities, thereby protecting against cell death, and also regulated Tg-induced Ca(2+) release. The Ca(2+) chelator BAPT/AM also regulated caspase-12 and -3 activities and prevented Ca(2) stress-induced cell death. In the presence of PPHs or BAPTA/AM, Ca(2+)-related ROS were also regulated, as demonstrated by alterations in NADPH oxidase and SOD activity. CONCLUSIONS PPHs appear to regulate bone metabolism disturbance by controlling Ca(2+) concentrations, and thus ER stress and ROS, in osteoblasts cultured in vitro.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (Px) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various cancers. However, it is often associated with neurological side effects, including chemotherapy-associated cognitive impairment (CACI), such as "chemobrain". Previously, we reported that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in Px-induced neurotoxicity, and immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) inducer X (BIX) alleviates Px-induced neurotoxicity. However, BIX has not been used in clinical practice yet. We recently reported that fluvoxamine (Flv) alleviates ER stress via induction of sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Flv could alleviate Px-induced neurotoxicity in vitro. SK-N-SH cells were pre-treated for 12 h with or without 10 μg/ml Flv followed by treatment with 1 μM Px with or without co-existence of 10 μg/ml Flv for 24 h. To investigate the involvement of Sig-1R in alleviation effect on Px-induced neurotoxicity,1 μM NE100, an antagonist of Sig-1R, was added for 24 h. Neurotoxicity was assessed using the MTS viability assay and ER stress-mediated neurotoxicity was assessed by evaluating the expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), cleaved caspase 4, and cleaved caspase 3. Pre-treatment with Flv significantly alleviated the induction of CHOP, cleaved caspase 4, and cleaved caspase 3 in SK-N-SH cells. At the same time, pre-treatment with Flv significantly induced Sig-1R in SK-N-SH cells. In addition, viability was significantly higher in Flv-treated cells than in untreated cells, which was reversed by treatment with NE100. Our results suggest that Flv alleviates Px-induced neurotoxicity in part through the induction of Sig-1R. Our findings should contribute to one of the novel approaches for the alleviation of Px-induced neurotoxicity, including chemobrain.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of protein synthesis, protein folding, maintainance of calcium homeostasis, synthesis of lipids and sterols. Genetic or environmental insults can alter its function generating ER stress. ER senses stress mainly by three stress sensor pathways, namely protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase-eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2α, inositol-requiring enzyme 1α-X-box-binding protein 1 and activating transcription factor 6-CREBH, which induce unfolded protein responses (UPR) after the recognition of stress. Recent studies have demonstrated that ER stress and UPR signaling are involved in cancer, metabolic disorders, inflammatory diseases, osteoporosis and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the precise knowledge regarding involvement of ER stress in different disease processes is still debatable. Here we discuss the possible role of ER stress in various disorders on the basis of existing literature. An attempt has also been made to highlight the present knowledge of this field which may help to elucidate and conjure basic mechanisms and novel insights into disease processes which could assist in devising better future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been recommended for various uses in endodontics. To understand the effects of MTA on alveolar bone, we examined whether MTA induces osteoblastic differentiation using MC3T3-E1 cells. MTA enhanced mineralization concomitant with alkaline phosphatase activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. MTA increased production of collagens (Type I and Type III) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9 and MMP-13), suggesting that MTA affects bone matrix remodeling. MTA also induced Bglap (osteocalcin) but not Bmp2 (bone morphogenetic protein-2) mRNA expression. We observed induction of Atf6 (activating transcription factor 6, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response transcription factor) mRNA expression and activation of Atf6 by MTA treatment. Forced expression of p50Atf6 (active form of Atf6) markedly enhanced Bglap mRNA expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was performed to investigate the increase in p50Atf6 binding to the Bglap promoter region by MTA treatment. Furthermore, knockdown of Atf6 gene expression by introduction of Tet-on Atf6 shRNA expression vector abrogated MTA-induced mineralization. These results suggest that MTA induces in vitro osteoblastogenesis through the Atf6–osteocalcin axis as ER stress signaling. Therefore, MTA in endodontic treatment may affect alveolar bone healing in the resorbed region caused by pulpal infection.

17β-Estradiol inhibits ER stress-induced apoptosis through promotion of TFII-I-dependent Grp78 induction in osteoblasts. J Transl Med 2014; 94:906-16.

Abstract
Although many studies have suggested that estrogen prevents postmenopausal bone loss partially due to its anti-apoptosis effects in osteoblasts, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we found that 17β-estradiol (17β-E₂), one of the primary estrogens, inhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells and primary osteoblasts. Interestingly, 17β-E₂-promoted Grp78 induction, but not CHOP induction in response to ER stress. We further confirmed that Grp78-specific siRNA reversed the inhibition of 17β-E₂ on ER stress-induced apoptosis by activating caspase-12 and caspase-3. Moreover, we found that 17β-E₂ markedly increased the phosphorylated TFII-I levels and nuclear localization of TFII-I in ER stress conditions. 17β-E₂ stimulated Grp78 promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of TFII-I and enhanced the binding of TFII-I to the Grp78 promoter. In addition, 17β-E₂ notably increased phosphorylated ERK1/2 levels and Ras kinase activity in MC3T3-E1 cells. The ERK1/2 activity-specific inhibitor U0126 remarkably blocked 17β-E₂-induced TFII-I phosphorylation and Grp78 expression in response to ER stress. Together, 17β-E₂ protected MC3T3-E1 cells against ER stress-induced apoptosis by promoting Ras-ERK1/2-TFII-I signaling pathway-dependent Grp78 induction.

Abstract
Vesicular trafficking is critical for the function of bone cells, exemplified by bone diseases such as osteopetrosis, which frequently results from defects in this process. Recent work has further dissected the role of the endolysosomal system in both bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. This pathway also plays an important role in the communication between these and other cells in bone, through trafficking and degradation of growth factors and their receptors, and microvesicle release. In addition, a crucial role for autophagy in bone remodelling and bone disease is beginning to emerge. These insights into the molecular control of bone remodelling raise the possibility of developing novel therapeutics for bone diseases designed to target specific aspects of this process.

Abstract
It is well established that osteoblasts, the key cells involved in bone formation during development and in adult life, secrete a number of glycoproteins harboring autocrine and paracrine functions. Thus, investigating the osteoblastic secretome could yield important information for the pathophysiology of bone. In the present study, we characterized for the first time the secretome of human Hobit osteoblastic cells. We discovered that the secretome comprised 89 protein species including the powerful growth factor progranulin. Recombinant human progranulin (6nM) induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase in both Hobit and osteocytic cells and induced cell proliferation and survival. Notably, risedronate, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis, induced the expression and secretion of progranulin in the Hobit secretome. In addition, our proteomic study of the Hobit secretome revealed that risedronate induced the expression of ERp57, HSP60 and HSC70, three proteins already shown to be associated with the prevention of bone loss in osteoporosis. Collectively, our findings unveil novel targets of risedronate-evoked biological effects on osteoblast-like cells and further our understanding of the mechanisms of action of this currently used compound.

Abstract
Emdogain (enamel matrix derivative, EMD) is well recognized in periodontology. It is used in periodontal surgery to regenerate cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying periodontal regeneration are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the proteins bound to amelogenin, which are suggested to play a pivotal role in promoting periodontal tissue regeneration. To identify new molecules that interact with amelogenin and are involved in osteoblast activation, we employed coupling affinity chromatography with proteomic analysis in fractionated SaOS-2 osteoblastic cell lysate. In SaOS-2 cells, many of the amelogenin-interacting proteins in the cytoplasm were mainly cytoskeletal proteins and several chaperone molecules of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family. On the other hand, the proteomic profiles of amelogenin-interacting proteins in the membrane fraction of the cell extracts were quite different from those of the cytosolic-fraction. They were mainly endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated proteins, with lesser quantities of mitochondrial proteins and nucleoprotein. Among the identified amelogenin-interacting proteins, we validated the biological interaction of amelogenin with glucose-regulated protein 78 (Grp78/Bip), which was identified in both cytosolic and membrane-enriched fractions. Confocal co-localization experiment strongly suggested that Grp78/Bip could be an amelogenin receptor candidate. Further biological evaluations were examined by Grp78/Bip knockdown analysis with and without amelogenin. Within the limits of the present study, the interaction of amelogenin with Grp78/Bip contributed to cell proliferation, rather than correlate with the osteogenic differentiation in SaOS-2 cells. Although the biological significance of other interactions are not yet explored, these findings suggest that the differential effects of amelogenin-derived osteoblast activation could be of potential clinical significance for understanding the cellular and molecular bases of amelogenin-induced periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The aberrant activation of osteoblasts in the early stage is one of the critical steps during the pathogenesis of skeletal fluorosis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stresses and unfolded protein response (UPR) are initiated to alleviate the accumulation of unfolded proteins against cell injury. The previous researches had demonstrated that fluoride induced ER stress in other cells or tissues. In this study, we determined the ER stress and UPR to investigate their roles in aberrant activation of fluoride-treated osteoblasts. The gene expression of bone markers and UPR factors in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with varying doses of fluoride administration was analyzed. Meantime, levels of glutathione and glutathione disulfide were tested by the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry applications. Our results indicated that a certain dose and period of fluoride administration induced cell proliferation and differentiation, and Runx2 was involved in the regulation of osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Increase trend of Runx2 expression was consistent with change of marker of ER stress. Fluoride caused ER stress and stimulated UPR during the process of osteoblast maturation, while oxidative stress was also active in the occurrence of ER stress. These data indicated that ER stress and UPR were possibly involved in the action of fluoride on osteoblasts.

Zhao H. Membrane trafficking in osteoblasts and osteoclasts: new avenues for understanding and treating skeletal diseases. Traffic 2012; 13:1307-14. [PMID: 22759194 DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0854.2012.01395.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2012] [Revised: 06/28/2012] [Accepted: 07/03/2012] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The endocytic and exocytic/secretory pathways are two major intracellular membrane trafficking routes that regulate numerous cellular functions in a variety of cell types. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts, two major bone cells responsible for bone remodeling and homeostasis, are no exceptions. During the past few years, emerging evidence has pinpointed a critical role for endocytic and secretory pathways in osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and function. The endosomal membrane provides a platform to integrate bone tropic signals of hormones and growth factors in osteoblasts. In osteoclasts, endocytosis, followed by transcytosis, of degraded bone matrix promotes bone resorption. Secretory pathways, especially lysosome secretion, not only participate in bone matrix deposition by osteoblasts and degradation of mineralized bone matrix by osteoclasts; they may also be involved in the coupling of bone resorption and bone formation during bone remodeling. More importantly, mutations in genes encoding regulatory factors within the endocytic and secretory pathways have been identified as causes for bone diseases. Identification of the molecular mechanisms of these genes in bone cells may provide new therapeutic targets for skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Thiol proteins may potentially act as redox signaling adaptor proteins, adjusting reactive oxygen species intermediates to specific signals and redox signals to cell homeostasis. In this review, we discuss redox effects of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a thioredoxin superfamily oxidoreductase from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Abundantly expressed PDI displays ubiquity, interactions with redox and nonredox proteins, versatile effects, and several posttranslational modifications. The PDI family contains >20 members with at least some apparent complementary actions. PDI has oxidoreductase, isomerase, and chaperone effects, the last not directly dependent on its thiols. PDI is a converging hub for pathways of disulfide bond introduction into ER-processed proteins, via hydrogen peroxide-generating mechanisms involving the oxidase Ero1α, as well as hydrogen peroxide-consuming reactions involving peroxiredoxin IV and the novel peroxidases Gpx7/8. PDI is a candidate pathway for coupling ER stress to oxidant generation. Emerging information suggests a convergence between PDI and Nox family NADPH oxidases. PDI silencing prevents Nox responses to angiotensin II and inhibits Akt phosphorylation in vascular cells and parasite phagocytosis in macrophages. PDI overexpression spontaneously enhances Nox activation and expression. In neutrophils, PDI redox-dependently associates with p47phox and supports the respiratory burst. At the cell surface, PDI exerts transnitrosation, thiol reductase, and apparent isomerase activities toward targets including adhesion and matrix proteins and proteases. Such effects mediate redox-dependent adhesion, coagulation/thrombosis, immune functions, and virus internalization. The route of PDI externalization remains elusive. Such multiple redox effects of PDI may contribute to its conspicuous expression and functional role in disease, rendering PDI family members putative redox cell signaling adaptors.

Abstract
We previously used five freely available bioinformatics tools (Prioritizer, Geneseeker, PROSPECTR and SUSPECTS, Disease Gene Prediction, and Endeavour) to analyze the thirteen well-replicated osteoporosis susceptibility loci and identify a subset of most likely candidate osteoporosis susceptibility genes (Huang et al. in J Hum Genet 53:644-655, 2008). In the current study, we experimentally tested the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and the 9 most likely candidate genes [LAMC2(1q25-q31), MATN3(2p24-p23), ITGAV(2q31-q32), ACVR1(2q23-q24), TDGF1(3p21.31), EGF(4q25), IGF1(12q22-q23), ZIC2(13q32), BMP2(20p12)] which were pinpointed by 4 or more bioinformatics tools. Forty tag SNPs in nine candidate genes were genotyped in a southern Chinese female case-control cohort consisting of 1643 subjects. Single- and multi-marker association analyses were performed using logistic regression analysis implemented by PLINK. Potential transcription factor binding sites were predicted by MatInspector. The strongest association was observed between rs10178256 (MATN3) and trochanter (P < 0.001) and total hip BMD (P = 0.002). The SNP rs6214 (IGF1) showed consistent association with BMD at all the four measured skeletal sites (P = 0.005-0.044). Prediction of transcription factor binding suggested that the minor allele G of rs10178256 might abolish the binding of MESP1 and MESP2 which play vital roles in bone homeostasis, whereas the minor allele G of rs6214 might create an additional binding site for XBP1, a constitutive regulator of endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Our data suggested that variants in MATN3 and IGF1 were involved in BMD regulation in southern Chinese women.

Abstract
During skeletal development, osteoblasts produce large amounts of extracellular matrix proteins and must therefore increase their secretory machinery to handle the deposition. The accumulation of unfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum induces an adoptive mechanism called the unfolded protein response (UPR). We show that one of the most crucial UPR mediators, inositol-requiring protein 1α (IRE1α), and its target transcription factor X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), are essential for bone morphogenic protein 2-induced osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, we identify Osterix (Osx, a transcription factor that is indispensible for bone formation) as a target gene of XBP1. The promoter region of the Osx gene encodes two potential binding motifs for XBP1, and we show that XBP1 binds to these regions. Thus, the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway is involved in osteoblast differentiation through promoting Osx transcription.

Abstract
Calcium signaling and calcium transport play a key role during osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Here, we demonstrate that DMP1 mediated calcium signaling, and its downstream effectors play an essential role in the differentiation of preosteoblasts to fully functional osteoblasts. DMP1, a key regulatory bone matrix protein, can be endocytosed by preosteoblasts, triggering a rise in cytosolic levels of calcium that initiates a series of downstream events leading to cellular stress. These events include release of store-operated calcium that facilitates the activation of stress-induced p38 MAPK leading to osteoblast differentiation. However, chelation of intracellular calcium and inhibition of the p38 signaling pathway by specific pharmacological inhibitors and dominant negative plasmid suppressed this activation. Interestingly, activated p38 MAPK can translocate to the nucleus to phosphorylate transcription factors that coordinate the expression of downstream target genes such as Runx 2, a key modulator of osteoblast differentiation. These studies suggest a novel paradigm by which DMP1-mediated release of intracellular calcium activates p38 MAPK signaling cascade to regulate gene expression and osteoblast differentiation.
