Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous scars frequently form at the sites of bone nonunion when attempts to repair bone fractures have failed. However, the detailed mechanism by which fibroblasts, which are the main components of fibrous scars, impede osteogenesis remains largely unknown. RESULTS In this study, we found that fibroblasts compete with osteogenesis in both human bone nonunion tissues and BMP2-induced ectopic osteogenesis in a mouse model. Fibroblasts could inhibit the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via direct and indirect cell competition. During this process, fibroblasts modulated the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP in MSCs. Knocking down YAP could inhibit osteoblast differentiation of MSCs, while overexpression of nuclear-localized YAP-5SA could reverse the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation of MSCs caused by fibroblasts. Furthermore, fibroblasts secreted DKK1, which further inhibited the formation of calcium nodules during the late stage of osteogenesis but did not affect the early stage of osteogenesis. Thus, fibroblasts could inhibit osteogenesis by regulating YAP localization in MSCs and secreting DKK1. CONCLUSIONS Our research revealed that fibroblasts could modulate the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP in MSCs, thereby inhibiting their osteoblast differentiation. Fibroblasts could also secrete DKK1, which inhibited calcium nodule formation at the late stage of osteogenesis.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14856. [PMID: 37834304 PMCID: PMC10573510 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914856] [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: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Plateau adaptation in animals involves genetic mechanisms as well as coevolutionary mechanisms of the microbiota and metabolome of the animal. Therefore, the characteristics of the rumen microbiome and metabolome, transcriptome, and serum metabolome of Tibetan sheep at different altitudes (4500 m, 3500 m, and 2500 m) were analyzed. The results showed that the rumen differential metabolites at 3500 m and 4500 m were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism, and there was a significant correlation with microbiota. The differentially expressed genes and metabolites at middle and high altitudes were coenriched in asthma, arachidonic acid metabolism, and butanoate and propanoate metabolism. In addition, the serum differential metabolites at 3500 m and 4500 m were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, and they were also related to microbiota. Further analysis revealed that rumen metabolites accounted for 7.65% of serum metabolites. These common metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways and were significantly correlated with host genes (p < 0.05). This study found that microbiota, metabolites, and epithelial genes were coenriched in pathways related to lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, and immune metabolism, which may be involved in the regulation of Tibetan sheep adaptation to plateau environmental changes.

Metabolomics profiling reveals differences in proliferation between tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16077. [PMID: 37744241 PMCID: PMC10517658 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are a cellular matrix in the production of influenza vaccines. The proliferation rate of MDCK cells is one of the critical factors that determine the vaccine production cycle. It is yet to be determined if there is a correlation between cell proliferation and alterations in metabolic levels. This study aimed to explore the metabolic differences between MDCK cells with varying proliferative capabilities through the use of both untargeted and targeted metabolomics. Methods To investigate the metabolic discrepancies between adherent cell groups (MDCK-M60 and MDCK-CL23) and suspension cell groups (MDCK-XF04 and MDCK-XF06), untargeted and targeted metabolomics were used. Utilizing RT-qPCR analysis, the mRNA expressions of key metabolites enzymes were identified. Results An untargeted metabolomics study demonstrated the presence of 81 metabolites between MDCK-M60 and MDCK-CL23 cells, which were mainly affected by six pathways. An analysis of MDCK-XF04 and MDCK-XF06 cells revealed a total of 113 potential metabolites, the majority of which were impacted by ten pathways. Targeted metabolomics revealed a decrease in the levels of choline, tryptophan, and tyrosine in MDCK-CL23 cells, which was in accordance with the results of untargeted metabolomics. Additionally, MDCK-XF06 cells experienced a decrease in 5'-methylthioadenosine and tryptophan, while S-adenosylhomocysteine, kynurenine, 11Z-eicosenoic acid, 3-phosphoglycerate, glucose 6-phosphate, and phosphoenolpyruvic acid concentrations were increased. The mRNA levels of MAT1A, MAT2B, IDO1, and IDO2 in the two cell groups were all increased, suggesting that S-adenosylmethionine and tryptophan may have a significant role in cell metabolism. Conclusions This research examines the effect of metabolite fluctuations on cell proliferation, thus offering a potential way to improve the rate of MDCK cell growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the course of tumor progression, cancer clones interact with host normal cells, and these interactions make them under selection pressure all the time. Cell competition, which can eliminate suboptimal cells and optimize organ development via comparison of cell fitness information, is found to take place between host cells and transformed cells in mammals and play important roles in different phases of tumor progression. The aim of this study is to summarize the current knowledge about the roles and corresponding mechanisms of different cell competition interactions between host normal cells and transformed cells involved in mammalian tumor development. METHODS We reviewed the published relevant articles in the Pubmed. RESULTS So far, the role of several cell competition interactions have been well described in the different phases of mammalian tumor genesis and development. While cell competitions for trophic factors and epithelial defense against cancer (EDAC) prevent the emergence of transformed cells and suppress carcinogenesis, fitness-fingerprints-comparison system and Myc supercompetitors promote the local expansion of transformed cells after the early tumor lesion is formatted. In addition, various preclinical tumor-suppression models which based on the molecular mechanisms of these competition interactions show potential clinical value of boosting the fitness of host normal cells. CONCLUSION Cell competition between host and transformed cells has pleiotropic effects in mammalian tumor genesis and development. The clarification of specific molecular mechanisms shed light on novel ideas for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Microgravity exposure during spaceflight causes the disordered regulation of liver function, presenting a specialized mechano-biological coupling process. While YAP/TAZ serves as a typical mechanosensitive pathway involved in hepatocyte metabolism, it remains unclear whether and how it is correlated with microgravity-induced liver dysfunction. Here, we discussed liver function alterations induced by spaceflight or simulated effects of microgravity on Earth. The roles of YAP/TAZ serving as a potential bridge in connecting liver metabolism with microgravity were specifically summarized. Existing evidence indicated that YAP/TAZ target gene expressions were affected by mechanotransductive pathways and phase separation, reasonably speculating that microgravity might regulate YAP/TAZ activation by disrupting these pathways via cytoskeletal remodeling or nuclear deformation, or disturbing condensates formation via diffusion limit, and then breaking liver homeostasis.

Abstract
The liver plays central homeostatic roles in metabolism and detoxification, and has a remarkable capacity to fully recover from injuries caused by the various insults to which it is constantly exposed. To fulfill these functions, the liver must maintain a specific size and so must regulate its cell numbers. It must also remove senescent, transformed, and/or injured cells that impair liver function and can lead to diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Despite their importance, however, the mechanisms governing liver size control and homeostasis have resisted delineation. The discovery of the Hippo intracellular signaling pathway and its downstream effectors, the transcriptional coactivators Yes‐associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ‐binding motif (TAZ), has provided partial elucidation of these mechanisms. The Hippo‐YAP/TAZ pathway is considered to be a cell’s sensor of its immediate microenvironment and the cells that surround it, in that this pathway responds to changes in elements such as the ECM, cell–cell tension, and cell adhesion. Once triggered, Hippo signaling negatively regulates the binding of YAP/TAZ to transcription factors such as TEAD and Smad, controlling their ability to drive gene expression needed for cellular responses such as proliferation, survival, and stemness. Numerous KO mouse strains lacking YAP/TAZ, as well as transgenic mice showing YAP/TAZ hyperactivation, have been generated, and the effects of these mutations on liver development, size, regeneration, homeostasis, and tumorigenesis have been reported. In this review, I summarize the components and regulation of Hippo‐YAP/TAZ signaling, and discuss this pathway in the context of liver physiology and pathology.
