Abstract
The accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A has been suggested as one of the mechanisms responsible for the loss of fat in type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy due to variants in the LMNA gene. In this rare disease, fat loss appears in women after puberty, affecting sex-hormone-dependent anatomical areas. This study investigated the impact of 17-β-estradiol on adipogenesis in murine preadipocytes subjected to a pharmacologically induced accumulation of farnesylated and non-farnesylated prelamin A. To induce the accumulation of non-farnesylated or farnesylated prelamin A, 3T3-L1 cells were treated with the farnesyltransferase inhibitor 277 or the methyltransferase inhibitor N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-l-cysteine methylester. Subsequently, the cells were induced to undergo adipocyte differentiation in the presence or absence of 17-β-estradiol. Prelamin A accumulation was assessed through immunofluorescence, while real-time PCR and Western blot techniques were used to quantify several adipogenic genes and evaluate protein levels, respectively. The results showed that 17-β-estradiol increased adipogenesis, although the combination of this hormone plus farnesylated prelamin A led to a reduction in the number of mature adipocytes and the expression of the different genes involved in adipogenesis. In conclusion, the influence of farnesylated prelamin A accumulation on adipogenesis manifested only in the presence of estradiol. These in vitro findings suggest a potential mechanism that could explain the characteristic phenotype in women suffering type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy.

Abstract
The scaffold microstructure is important for bone tissue engineering. Failure to synergistically imitate the hierarchical microstructure of the components of bone, such as an osteon with concentric multilayers assembled by nanofibers, hinders the performance for guiding bone regeneration. Here, a 2D bilayer nanofibrous membrane (BLM) containing poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) composite membranes in similar compositions (PCL15 and PCL20), but possessing different degrees of shrinkage, was fabricated via sequential electrospinning. Upon incubation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (37 °C), the 2D BLM spontaneously deformed into a 3D shape induced by PCL crystallization within the PLGA matrix, and the PCL15 and PCL20 layer formed a concave and convex surface, respectively. The 3D structure contained curved multilayers with an average diameter of 776 ± 169 μm, and on the concave and convex surface the nanofiber diameters were 792 ± 225 and 881 ± 259 nm, respectively. The initial 2D structure facilitated the even distribution of seeded cells. Adipose-derived stem cells from rats (rADSCs) proliferated faster on a concave surface than on a convex surface. For the 3D BLM, the osteogenic differentiation of rADSCs was significantly higher than that on 2D surfaces, even without osteogenic supplements, which resulted from the stretched cell morphology on the curved sublayer leading to increased expression of lamin-A. After being implanted into cranial defects in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, 3D BLM significantly accelerated bone formation. In summary, 3D BLM with an osteon-like structure provides a potential strategy to repair bone defects.

Abstract
Achyranthes bidentata is a species of flowering plant that is mainly distributed in China. The A. bidentata rhizome is a famous traditional Chinese medicine that has been widely used to treat lumbago, arthritis, and bone hyperplasia. In this work, A. bidentata rhizome was isolated and purified to obtain a pectic polysaccharide (ABPB-4). Chemical and spectral analyses showed that ABPB-4 had a main chain of →4)-α-d-GalpA-(1→ and →2,4)-α-l-Rhap-(1→, and the branch chains included →4)-β-d-Galp-(1→, →6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, →3,6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, →5)-α-l-Araf-(1→ and →3,5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, and it was terminated with α-l-Araf-(1→ and β-d-Galp-(1→. At concentrations of 0.01, 0.02, and 0.04 μmol/L, ABPB-4 significantly promotes the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro, and it appreciably enhances the mRNA expression levels of osteogenic-related genes in these cells. Overall, the results reported herein indicate that ABPB-4 has outstanding osteogenic activity, and that it may be used as an anti-osteoporosis agent in the future.

Abstract
Alhagi pseudalhagi, commonly known as camel thorn, is used as an indigenous medicinal plant in China. The present study was designed to elucidate the structure of a novel polysaccharide, APP90-2, isolated from Alhagi pseudalhagi and evaluate its osteogenic activity. A homogeneous polysaccharide (APP90-2) was obtained from A. pseudalhagi via DEAE-52 and Sephacryl S-100 columns, with a molecular weight of 5.9 kDa. Monosaccharide, GC-MS, and NMR analyses showed that APP90-2 consisted of α-l-Rhap-(1→, →3)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →4)-β-d-Xylp-(1→, α-d-Glcp-(1→, →3,5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →4)-β-d-GlcAp-(1→, →4)-3-OAc-α-d-Glcp-(1→, →3)-α-d-Galp-(1→, →3)-β-d-GalAp-(1→, →4)-α-d-Galp-(1→, →6)-α-d-Manp-(1→, →4,6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, and →3,6)-β-d-Glcp-(1→ with relative molar ratios of 4.1:1.8:6.1:6.7:1.7:1.0:1.5:2.7:2.4:1.1:2.3:2.6:1.4:2.0. Morphological analyses revealed that APP90-2 interacted with Congo-red and had an obvious honeycomb structure. Additionally, APP90-2 significantly promoted proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells, indicating that APP90-2 exhibited pronounced osteogenic activity. Therefore, our findings suggest that A. pseudalhagi may be used as an alternative medicine or health supplement for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Lamin A/C, intermediate filament proteins from the nuclear lamina encoded by the LMNA gene, play a central role in mediating the mechanosignaling of cytoskeletal forces into nucleus. In fact, this mechanotransduction process is essential to ensure the proper functioning of other tasks also mediated by lamin A/C: the structural support of the nucleus and the regulation of gene expression. In this way, lamin A/C is fundamental for the migration and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the progenitors of osteoblasts, thus affecting bone homeostasis. Bone formation is a complex process regulated by chemical and mechanical cues, coming from the surrounding extracellular matrix. MSCs respond to signals modulating the expression levels of lamin A/C, and therefore, adapting their nuclear shape and stiffness. To promote cell migration, MSCs need soft nuclei with low lamin A content. Conversely, during osteogenic differentiation, lamin A/C levels are known to be increased. Several LMNA mutations present a negative impact in the migration and osteogenesis of MSCs, affecting bone tissue homeostasis and leading to pathological conditions. This review aims to describe these concepts by discussing the latest state-of-the-art in this exciting area, focusing on the relationship between lamin A/C in MSCs' function and bone tissue from both, health and pathological points of view.

Abstract
AIMS Drug repurposing or repositioning i.e.; identifying new indications for existing drugs have recently accelerated the process of drug discovery and development. Megestrol acetate (1) is a well-known progestin. It is commonly used as an appetite stimulant, and also in the treatment of breast, and endometrial cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of megestrol acetate (1) in osteoblast differentiation, and to determine the possible mechanism involved in megestrol acetate (1) induced osteoblast differentiation. MAIN METHODS Cytotoxicity of different steroidal drugs was evaluated using MTT assay. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was also determined, and alizarin red S (ARS) staining was performed to measure extracellular mineralization. Osteogenic protein levels were determined using Western blot analysis. KEY FINDINGS Results of the current study indicated that the megestrol acetate (1) enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast cells at 1, 0.2, and 0.04 µM. This stimulatory effect of the megestrol acetate (1) was more prominent at 0.2 µM for cell proliferation, while the maximum cell differentiation (ALPase activity, and calcification) was observed at 0.04 μM. Western blot analysis also showed that megestrol acetate (1) altered the expression of bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP2), p38, and pJNK proteins. Hence, only moderate doses of MGA (1) can enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. SIGNIFICANCE Our results identified that megestrol acetate (1) could be a potential lead for further research towards bone fragility related disorders.

Lamin A and Prelamin A Counteract Migration of Osteosarcoma Cells. Cells 2020; 9:cells9030774.

Abstract
A type lamins are fundamental components of the nuclear lamina. Changes in lamin A expression correlate with malignant transformation in several cancers. However, the role of lamin A has not been explored in osteosarcoma (OS). Here, we wanted to investigate the role of lamin A in normal osteoblasts (OBs) and OS cells. Thus, we studied the expression of lamin A/C in OS cells compared to OBs and evaluated the effects of lamin A overexpression in OS cell lines. We show that, while lamin A expression increases during osteoblast differentiation, all examined OS cell lines express lower lamin A levels relative to differentiated OBs. The condition of low LMNA expression confers to OS cells a significant increase in migration potential, while overexpression of lamin A reduces migration ability of OS cells. Moreover, overexpression of unprocessable prelamin A also reduces cell migration. In agreement with the latter finding, OS cells which accumulate the highest prelamin A levels upon inhibition of lamin A maturation by statins, had significantly reduced migration ability. Importantly, OS cells subjected to statin treatment underwent apoptotic cell death in a RAS-independent, lamin A-dependent manner. Our results show that pro-apoptotic effects of statins and statin inhibitory effect on OS cell migration are comparable to those obtained by prelamin A accumulation and further suggest that modulation of lamin A expression and post-translational processing can be a tool to decrease migration potential in OS cells.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding LMNA (lamin A/C), are responsible for laminopathies. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in laminopathies. OBJECTIVE To gain insights into the molecular pathogenesis of DCM in laminopathies. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated a tet-off bigenic mice expressing either a WT (wild type) or a mutant LMNA (D300N) protein in cardiac myocytes. LMNAD300N mutation is associated with DCM in progeroid syndromes. Expression of LMNAD300N led to severe myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, cardiac dysfunction, and premature death. Administration of doxycycline suppressed LMNAD300N expression and prevented the phenotype. Whole-heart RNA sequencing in 2-week-old WT and LMNAD300N mice led to identification of ≈6000 differentially expressed genes. Gene Set Enrichment and Hallmark Pathway analyses predicted activation of E2F (E2F transcription factor), DNA damage response, TP53 (tumor protein 53), NFκB (nuclear factor κB), and TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) pathways, which were validated by Western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction of selected targets, and immunofluorescence staining. Differentially expressed genes involved cell death, cell cycle regulation, inflammation, and epithelial-mesenchymal differentiation. RNA sequencing of human hearts with DCM associated with defined LMNA pathogenic variants corroborated activation of the DNA damage response/TP53 pathway in the heart. Increased expression of CDKN2A (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A)-a downstream target of E2F pathway and an activator of TP53-provided a plausible mechanism for activation of the TP53 pathway. To determine pathogenic role of TP53 pathway in DCM, Tp53 gene was conditionally deleted in cardiac myocytes in mice expressing the LMNAD300N protein. Deletion of Tp53 partially rescued myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, proliferation of nonmyocyte cells, left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction, and slightly improved survival. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac myocyte-specific expression of LMNAD300N, associated with DCM, led to pathogenic activation of the E2F/DNA damage response/TP53 pathway in the heart and induction of myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, cardiac dysfunction, and premature death. The findings denote the E2F/DNA damage response/TP53 axis as a responsible mechanism for DCM in laminopathies and as a potential intervention target.

Abstract
Due to similar aerodynamic and micro-nano sized properties between airborne particles and synthetic nanoparticles, a large number of studies have been conducted using carbon-based particles, such as carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes and graphite, in order to achieve deeper understandings of their adverse effects on human health. It has been reported that particulate matters can aggravate morbidity of patients suffering from bone and joint diseases, e.g. arthritis. However, the molecular mechanism is still elusive thus far. Under this context, we employed two cell lines of osteoblasts, MC3T3-E1 and MG-63, upon exposure to 4 different CB samples with differential physicochemical properties in research of mechanistic insights. Our results indicated that the carbon/oxygen ratio differed in these 4 CB materials showing the order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. In stark contrast, their cytotoxicity and capacity to trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MC3T3-E1 and MG-63 cells closely correlated to oxygen content, revealing the reverse order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. It would be reasonable to speculate that ROS production was a predominant cause of CB cytotoxicity, which strongly relied on the oxygen content of CB. Our study further manifested that all CB samples even at low concentrations significantly inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as reflected by remarkably reduced activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and compromised expression of the differentiation-related genes. And the inhibition on osteoblast differentiation also closely correlated to oxygen content of CB samples. Taken together, our combined data recognized oxygen-associated toxicity towards osteoblasts for CBs. More importantly, we uncovered a new adverse effect of CB exposure: suppression on osteoblast differentiation, which has been overlooked in the past.

Abstract
Morinda officinalis is an important traditional tonic herbal medicine. In the present study, we found that crude polysaccharides extracted from M. officinalis, named MO90, could significantly increase the bone mineral density (BMD) of the whole femur, distal femur, and proximal femur in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. In addition, MO90 decreased the level of bone turnover markers and prevented the deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture. To investigate the fractions responsible for anti-osteoporosis activity, one novel inulin-type fructan, MOW90-1, was isolated from MOP90. Structural analysis indicated that MOW90-1 consists of a backbone of (2→1)-linked-β-D-Fruf, and is terminated with (1→)-linked-α-D-Glcp and (2→)-linked-β-D-Fruf. Furthermore, an in vitro anti-osteoporosis assay indicated that MOW90-1 promoted proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells by up-regulating the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, osteopontin, and osteocalcin. In conclusion, our studies provide supporting evidence for future use of this novel M. officinalis fructan as a key nutrient of health products.

Cells 2019; 8:cells8030266. [PMID: 30901896 PMCID: PMC6468400 DOI: 10.3390/cells8030266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2019] [Revised: 03/16/2019] [Accepted: 03/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Lamin A is involved in many cellular functions due to its ability to bind chromatin and transcription factors and affect their properties. Mutations of LMNA gene encoding lamin A affect the differentiation capacity of stem cells, but the mechanisms of this influence remain largely unclear. We and others have reported recently an interaction of lamin A with Notch pathway, which is among the main developmental regulators of cellular identity. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of LMNA mutations on the proosteogenic response of human cells of mesenchymal origin and to further explore the interaction of LMNA with Notch pathway. Mutations R527C and R471C in LMNA are associated with mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, a highly penetrant disease with a variety of abnormalities involving bone development. We used lentiviral constructs bearing mutations R527C and R471C and explored its influence on proosteogenic phenotype expression and Notch pathway activity in four types of human cells: umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), cardiac mesenchymal cells (HCMC), aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC), and aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVIC). The proosteogenic response of the cells was induced by the addition of either LPS or specific effectors of osteogenic differentiation to the culture medium; phenotype was estimated by the expression of osteogenic markers by qPCR; activation of Notch was assessed by expression of Notch-related and Notch-responsive genes by qPCR and by activation of a luciferase CSL-reporter construct. Overall, we observed different reactivity of all four cell lineages to the stimulation with either LPS or osteogenic factors. R527C had a stronger influence on the proosteogenic phenotype. We observed the inhibiting action of LMNA R527C on osteogenic differentiation in HCMC in the presence of activated Notch signaling, while LMNA R527C caused the activation of osteogenic differentiation in HAVIC in the presence of activated Notch signaling. Our results suggest that the effect of a LMNA mutation is strongly dependent not only on a specific mutation itself, but also might be influenced by the intrinsic molecular context of a cell lineage.

J Cell Physiol 2019; 234:18053-18064. [PMID: 30843215 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.28438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Revised: 02/10/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The matrix remodeling associated 7 (MXRA7) gene had been ill-studied and its biology remained to be discovered. Inspired by our previous findings and public datasets concerning MXRA7, we hypothesized that the MXRA7 gene might be involved in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) functions related to bone formation, which was checked by utilizing in vivo or in vitro methodologies. Micro-computed tomography of MXRA7-deficient mice demonstrated retarded osteogenesis, which was reflected by shorter femurs, lower bone mass in both trabecular and cortical bones compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Histology confirmed the osteopenia-like feature including thinner growth plates in MXRA7-deficient femurs. Immunofluorescence revealed less osteoblasts in MXRA7-deficient femurs. Polymerase chain reaction or western blot analysis showed that when WT BMSCs were induced to differentiate toward osteoblasts or adipocytes in culture, MXRA7 messenger RNA or protein levels were significantly increased alongside osteoblasts induction, but decreased upon adipocytes induction. Cultured MXRA7-deficient BMSCs showed decreased osteogenesis upon osteogenic differentiation induction as reflected by decreased calcium deposition or lower expression of genes responsible for osteogenesis. When recombinant MXRA7 proteins were supplemented in a culture of MXRA7-deficient BMSCs, osteogenesis or gene expression was fully restored. Upon osteoblast induction, the level of active β-catenin or phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase in MXRA7-deficient BMSCs was decreased compared with that in WT BMSCs, and these impairments could be rescued by recombinant MXRA7 proteins. In adipogenesis induction settings, the potency of MXRA7-deficient BMSCs to differentiate into adipocytes was increased over the WT ones. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that MXRA7 influences bone formation via regulating the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis in BMSCs.

Abstract
Nuclear protein, lamin A, which is a component of inner membrane on nucleoplasm, plays a role in nuclear formation and cell differentiation. The expression of mutated lamin A, termed progerin, causes a rare genetic aging disorder, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, which shows abnormal bone formation with the decrease in a number of osteoblasts and osteocytes. However, exact molecular mechanism how progerin exerts depressive effects on osteogenesis has not been fully understood. Here, we created mouse lamin A dC50 cDNA encoding progerin that lacks 50 amino acid residues at C-terminus, transfected it in mouse preosteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, and examined the changes in osteoblast phenotype. When lamin A dC50-expressed cells were cultured with differentiation-inductive medium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA levels of major osteoblast markers, type I collagen (Col1), bone sialoprotein (BSP), dentine matrix protein 1 (DMP1), and Runx2 were significantly decreased, and no mineralized nodules were detected as seen in control cells expressing empty vector. In the culture with mineralization-inductive medium, mRNA levels of BSP, osteocalcin, DMP1, Runx2, and osterix were strongly decreased parallel with loss of mineralization in lamin A dC50-expressed cells, while mineralized nodules appear at 21 days in control cells. Furthermore, lamin A dC50 expression was depressed nuclear localization of β-catenin with the decrease of GSK-3β phosphorylation level. These results suggest that lamin A dC50 depresses osteoblast differentiation in both early and late stages, and it negatively regulates β-catenin activity interacting with GSK-3β in cytoplasm.

Determining Osteogenic Differentiation Efficacy of Pluripotent Stem Cells by Telomerase Activity. Tissue Eng Regen Med 2018; 15:751-760. [PMID: 30603593 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-018-0138-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2018] [Revised: 06/14/2018] [Accepted: 06/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bone tissue engineering based on pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is a new approach to deal with bone defects. Protocols have been developed to generate osteoblasts from PSCs. However, the low efficiency of this process is still an important issue that needs to be resolved. Many studies have aimed to improve efficiency, but developing accurate methods to determine efficacy is also critical. Studies using pluripotency to estimate efficacy are rare. Telomerase is highly associated with pluripotency. Methods We have described a quantitative method to measure telomerase activity, telomeric repeat elongation assay based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). To investigate whether this method could be used to determine the efficiency of in vitro osteogenic differentiation based on pluripotency, we measured the pluripotency pattern of cultures through stemness gene expression, proliferation ability and telomerase activity, measured by QCM. Results We showed that the pluripotency pattern determined by QCM was similar to the patterns of proliferation ability and gene expression, which showed a slight upregulation at the late stages, within the context of the general downregulation tendency during differentiation. Additionally, a comprehensive gene expression pattern covering nearly every stage of differentiation was identified. Conclusion Therefore, this assay may be powerful tools for determining the efficiency of differentiation systems based on pluripotency. In this study, we not only introduce a new method for determining efficiency based on pluripotency, but also provide more information about the characteristics of osteogenic differentiation which help facilitate future development of more efficient protocols.

Abstract
Craniosynostosis (CS) refers to the group of craniofacial malformations characterized by the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures. The disorder is clinically and genetically heterogeneous and occurs usually as an isolated trait, but can also be syndromic. In 30-60% of patients, CS is caused by known genetic factors; however, in the rest of the cases, causative molecular lesions remain unknown. In this paper, we report on a sporadic male patient affected by complex CS (metopic and unilateral lambdoid synostosis), muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, and facial dysmorphism. Since a subset of CS results from submicroscopic chromosomal aberrations, we performed array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) in order to identify possibly causative copy-number variation. Array CGH followed by breakpoint sequencing revealed a previously unreported de novo 1.26 Mb duplication at chromosome 1q22-q23.1 that encompassed two genes involved in osteoblast differentiation: BGLAP, encoding osteocalcin (OCN), and LMNA, encoding lamin A/C. OCN is a major component of bone extracellular matrix and a marker of osteogenesis, whereas mutations in LMNA cause several genetic disorders called laminopathies, including mandibuloacral dysostosis (MAD) that manifests with low bone mass, severe bone deformities, and delayed closure of the cranial sutures. Since LMNA and BGLAP overexpression promote osteoblast differentiation and calcification, phenotype of our patient may result from misexpression of the genes. Based on our findings, we hypothesize that both LMNA and BGLAP may be implicated in the pathogenesis of CS in humans. However, further studies are needed to establish the exact pathomechanism underlying development of this defect.

Abstract
The effect of estrogen deficiency in bone augmentation, and the mechanisms by which estrogen deficiency impedes osteoblast differentiation and collagen matrix production, were examined. Twenty female Jcl:Wistar rats were divided into two groups: ovariectomized rats; and control rats. Guided bone augmentation was performed by positioning plastic caps in the calvarium of all animals at 8 wk after ovariectomy or sham surgery. Micro-computed tomography and histological sections were used to determine the amount of bone augmentation within the plastic caps. At 8 wk, there was statistically significantly less newly formed bone volume in ovariectomized rats. Immunohistological staining revealed the rare alignment of runt-related transcription factor 2-positive osteoblast-like cells and collagen I-positive bundle fibers in ovariectomized rats. In cell culture experiments, pre-osteoblast-like cells, MC3T3-E1, were treated with the estrogen receptor antagonist, fulvestrant. In treated cells, alkaline phosphatase activity remained high, whereas Alizarin Red staining was completely inhibited. Extracellular staining intensity of collagen I was decreased after fulvestrant treatment. Consistent with these observations, gene-expression analysis confirmed that fulvestrant treatment led to weaker expression of mRNA for osteogenic transcription factors and bone matrix protein-related genes. The results demonstrate that estrogen deficiency suppresses osteoblast differentiation and collagen matrix production in bone augmentation.
