[PMID: 38508232 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122583] [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: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), from a G-protein coupled receptor family, was previously well-characterized in immune cells. But the function of FPR1 in osteogenesis and fracture healing was rarely reported. This study, using the FPR1 knockout (KO) mouse, is one of the first studies that try to investigate FPR1 function to osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro and bone fracture healing in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary BMSCs were isolated from both FPR1 KO and wild type (WT) mice. Cloned mouse BMSCs (D1 cells) were used to examine role of FoxO1 in FPR1 regulation of osteogenesis. A closed, transverse fracture at the femoral midshaft was created to compare bone healing between KO and WT mice. Biomechanical and structural properties of femur were compared between healthy WT and KO mice. KEY FINDINGS FPR1 expression increased significantly during osteogenesis of both primary and cloned BMSCs. Compared to BMSCs from FPR1 KO mice, WT BMSCs displayed considerably higher levels of osteogenic markers as well as mineralization. Osteogenesis by D1 cells was inhibited by either an FPR1 antagonist cFLFLF or a specific inhibitor of FoxO1, AS1842856. In addition, the femur from WT mice had better biomechanical properties than FPR1 KO mice. Furthermore, bone healing in WT mice was remarkably improved compared to FPR1 KO mice analyzed by X-ray and micro-CT. SIGNIFICANCE These findings indicated that FPR1 played a vital role in osteogenic differentiation and regenerative capacity of fractured bone, probably through the activation of FoxO1 related signaling pathways.

Human fetal dermal fibroblast-myeloid cell diversity is characterized by dominance of pro-healing Annexin1-FPR1 signaling. iScience 2023; 26:107533. [PMID: 37636079 PMCID: PMC10450526 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Fetal skin achieves scarless wound repair. Dermal fibroblasts play a central role in extracellular matrix deposition and scarring outcomes. Both fetal and gingival wound repair share minimal scarring outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that compared to adult skin fibroblasts, human fetal skin fibroblast diversity is unique and partly overlaps with gingival skin fibroblasts. Human fetal skin (FS, n = 3), gingiva (HGG, n = 13), and mature skin (MS, n = 13) were compared at single-cell resolution. Dermal fibroblasts, the most abundant cluster, were examined to establish a connectome with other skin cells. Annexin1-FPR1 signaling pathway was dominant in both FS as well as HGG fibroblasts and related myeloid cells while scanty in MS fibroblasts. Myeloid-specific FPR1-ORF delivered in murine wound edge using tissue nanotransfection (TNT) technology significantly enhanced the quality of healing. Pseudotime analyses identified the co-existence of an HGG fibroblast subset with FPR1high myeloid cells of fetal origin indicating common underlying biological processes.

Abstract
Obesity is a metabolic disorder that results from an imbalance of energy intake and consumption. As low-grade chronic inflammation caused by obesity can lead to various complications, it is important to develop effective treatments against obesity. In this study, we investigate the effects of WKYMVm, a strong anti-inflammatory agent, against obesity. Administration of WKYMVm into high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice significantly attenuated body weight gain, food intake and increased insulin sensitivity. HFD-induced hepatic steatosis and adipose tissue hypertrophy were also markedly ameliorated by WKYMVm. During the maturation of adipocytes, WKYMVm improves lipid metabolism by increasing lipolysis, adipogenesis, mitochondrial biogenesis and fat browning. WKYMVm administration also elicited a decrease in leptin levels, but an increase in leptin sensitivity via regulation of hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum stress and the leptin receptor cascade. Taken together, our results show that WKYMVm ameliorates obesity by improving lipid metabolism and leptin signalling, suggesting that WKYMVm can be a useful molecule for the development of anti-obesity agents.

[PMID: 35418283 DOI: 10.2174/1386207325666220412134311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone fracture healing is a time-consuming and high-priority orthopedic problem worldwide. OBJECTIVE Discovering the potential mechanism of bone healing at a time course and transcriptional level may better help manage bone fracture. METHODS In this study, we analyze a time-course bone fracture healing transcriptional dataset in a rat model (GSE592, GSE594, and GSE1371) of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). RNA was obtained from female Sprague-Dawley rats with a femoral fracture at the initial time (day 3) as well as early (week 1), middle (week 2), and late (week 4) time periods, with nonfracture rats used as control. Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis and pathway examinations were performed for further measurements of GSEA and hub genes. RESULTS Results indicated that the four stages of bone fracture healing at the initial, early, middle, and late time periods represent the phases of hematoma formation, callus formation, callus molding, and mature lamellar bone formation, respectively. Extracellular organization was positively employed throughout the four stages. At the hematoma formation phase, the muscle contraction process was downregulated. Antibacterial peptide pathway was downregulated at all phases. The upregulation of Fn1 (initial, early, middle, and late time periods), Col3a1 (initial, early, and middle time periods), Col11a1 (initial and early time periods), Mmp9 (middle and late time periods), Mmp13 (early, middle, and late time periods) and the downregulation of RatNP-3b (initial, early, middle, and late time periods) were possible symbols for bone fracture healing and may be used as therapeutic targets. CONCLUSION These findings suggest some new potential pathways and genes in the process of bone fracture healing and further provide insights that can be used in targeted molecular therapy for bone fracture healing.
