Abstract
Skin injuries and wounds present significant clinical challenges, necessitating the development of advanced wound dressings for efficient wound healing and tissue regeneration. In this context, the advancement of hydrogels capable of counteracting the adverse effects arising from undesirable reactive oxygen species (ROS) is of significant importance. This study introduces a hybrid hydrogel with rapid photocuring and excellent conformability, tailored to ameliorate the hostile microenvironment of damaged skin tissues. The hybrid hydrogel, composed of photoresponsive Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) and Molybdenum-based nanoclusters (MNC), exhibits physicochemical characteristics conductive to skin regeneration. In vitro studies demonstrated the cytocompatibility and ROS-responsive behavior of the MNC/GelMA hybrid hydrogels, confirming their ability to promote human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) functions. The incorporation of MNC into GelMA not only enhances HDF adhesion, proliferation, and migration but also shields against oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Notably, in vivo evaluation in murine full-thickness skin defects revealed that the application of hybrid hydrogel dressings led to reduced inflammation, accelerated wound closure, and enhanced collagen deposition in comparison to control groups. Significantly, this study introduced a convenient approach to develop in situ ROS-scavenging hydrogel dressings to accelerate the wound healing process without the need for exogenous cytokines or medications. We consider that the nanoengineering approach proposed herein offers potential possibilities for the development of therapeutic hydrogel dressings addressing various skin-related conditions.

Strontium/Silicon/Calcium-Releasing Hierarchically Structured 3D-Printed Scaffolds Accelerate Osteochondral Defect Repair. Adv Healthc Mater 2024:e2400154.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defects are a global challenge, causing substantial disability. Repairing large defects is problematic, often exceeding cartilage's self-healing capacity and damaging bone structures. To tackle this problem, a scaffold-mediated therapeutic ion delivery system is developed. These scaffolds are constructed from poly(ε-caprolactone) and strontium (Sr)-doped bioactive nanoglasses (SrBGn), creating a unique hierarchical structure featuring macropores from 3D printing, micropores, and nanotopologies due to SrBGn integration. The SrBGn-embedded scaffolds (SrBGn-µCh) release Sr, silicon (Si), and calcium (Ca) ions, which improve chondrocyte activation, adhesion, proliferation, and maturation-related gene expression. This multiple ion delivery significantly affects metabolic activity and maturation of chondrocytes. Importantly, Sr ions may play a role in chondrocyte regulation through the Notch signaling pathway. Notably, the scaffold's structure and topological cues expedite the recruitment, adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of chondrocytes and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Si and Ca ions accelerate osteogenic differentiation and blood vessel formation, while Sr ions enhance the polarization of M2 macrophages. The findings show that SrBGn-µCh scaffolds accelerate osteochondral defect repair by delivering multiple ions and providing structural/topological cues, ultimately supporting host cell functions and defect healing. This scaffold holds great promise for osteochondral repair applications.

Abstract
Rare earth nanomaterials (RE NMs), which are based on rare earth elements, have emerged as remarkable biomaterials for use in bone regeneration. The effects of RE NMs on osteogenesis, such as promoting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, have been investigated. However, the contributions of the properties of RE NMs to bone regeneration and their interactions with various cell types during osteogenesis have not been reviewed. Here, we review the crucial roles of the physicochemical and biological properties of RE NMs and focus on their osteogenic mechanisms. RE NMs directly promote the proliferation, adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. They also increase collagen secretion and mineralization to accelerate osteogenesis. Furthermore, RE NMs inhibit osteoclast formation and regulate the immune environment by modulating macrophages and promote angiogenesis by inducing hypoxia in endothelial cells. These effects create a microenvironment that is conducive to bone formation. This review will help researchers overcome current limitations to take full advantage of the osteogenic benefits of RE NMs and will suggest a potential approach for further osteogenesis research.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia, impaired vascularization, and serious complications, such as blindness and chronic diabetic wounds. About 25% of patients with DM are estimated to encounter impaired healing of diabetic wounds, often leading to lower limb amputation. Multiple factors are attributed to the non-healing of diabetic wounds, including hyperglycaemia, chronic inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis. It is imperative to develop more efficient treatment strategies to tackle healing difficulties in diabetic wounds. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising for diabetic wound healing considering their anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic and pro-proliferative activities. A histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7)-derived 7-amino-acid peptide (7A) was shown to be highly effective for angiogenesis. However, it has never been investigated whether MSC-EVs are synergistic with 7A for the healing of diabetic wounds. Herein, we propose that MSC-EVs can be combined with 7A to greatly promote diabetic wound healing. The combination of EVs and 7A significantly improved the migration and proliferation of skin fibroblasts. Moreover, EVs alone significantly suppressed LPS-induced inflammation in macrophages, and notably, the combination treatment showed an even better suppression effect. Importantly, the in vivo study revealed that the combination therapy consisting of EVs and 7A in an alginate hydrogel was more efficient for the healing of diabetic wounds in rats than monotherapy using either EV or 7A hydrogels. The underlying mechanisms include suppression of inflammation, improvement of skin cell proliferation and migration, and enhanced collagen fiber disposition and angiogenesis in wounds. In summary, the MSC-EV-7A hydrogel potentially constitutes a novel therapy for efficient healing of chronic diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The design of implantable biomaterials involves precise tuning of surface features because the early cellular fate on such engineered surfaces is highly influenced by many physicochemical factors [roughness, hydrophilicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsiveness, etc.]. Herein, to enhance soft tissue integration for successful implantation, Ti substrates decorated with uniform layers of nanoceria (Ce), called Ti@Ce, were optimally developed by a simple and cost-effective in situ immersion coating technique. The characterization of Ti@Ce shows a uniform Ce distribution with enhanced roughness (∼3-fold increase) and hydrophilicity (∼4-fold increase) and adopted ROS-scavenging capacity by nanoceria coating. When human gingival fibroblasts were seeded on Ti@Ce under oxidative stress conditions, Ti@Ce supported cellular adhesion, spreading, and survivability by its cellular ROS-scavenging capacity. Mechanistically, the unique nanocoating resulted in higher expression of amphiphysin (a nanotopology sensor), paxillin (a focal adhesion protein), and cell adhesive proteins (collagen-1 and fibronectin). Ti@Ce also led to global chromatin condensation by decreasing histone 3 acetylation as an early differentiation feature. Transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing confirmed the chromatin remodeling, antiapoptosis, antioxidant, cell adhesion, and TGF-β signaling-related gene signatures in Ti@Ce. As key fibroblast transcription (co)factors, Ti@Ce promotes serum response factor and MRTF-α nucleus localization. Considering all of this, it is proposed that the surface engineering approach using Ce could improve the biological properties of Ti implants, supporting their functioning at soft tissue interfaces and utilization as a bioactive implant for clinical conditions such as peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin disorders can cause chronic scarring and functional impairments, posing a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system. Conventional therapies, such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are limited in efficacy and associated with adverse effects. Recently, nanozyme (NZ)-based hydrogels have shown great promise in addressing these challenges. NZ-based hydrogels possess unique therapeutic abilities by combining the therapeutic benefits of redox nanomaterials with enzymatic activity and the water-retaining capacity of hydrogels. The multifaceted therapeutic effects of these hydrogels include scavenging reactive oxygen species and other inflammatory mediators modulating immune responses toward a pro-regenerative environment and enhancing regenerative potential by triggering cell migration and differentiation. This review highlights the current state of the art in NZ-engineered hydrogels (NZ@hydrogels) for anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration applications. It also discusses the underlying chemo-mechano-biological mechanisms behind their effectiveness. Additionally, the challenges and future directions in this ground, particularly their clinical translation, are addressed. The insights provided in this review can aid in the design and engineering of novel NZ-based hydrogels, offering new possibilities for targeted and personalized skin-care therapies.

Abstract
Destruction of cartilage due to the abnormal remodeling of subchondral bone (SB) leads to osteoarthritis (OA), and restoring chondro-bone metabolic homeostasis is the key to the treatment of OA. However, traditional intra-articular injections for the treatment of OA cannot directly break through the cartilage barrier to reach SB. In this study, the hydrothermal method is used to synthesize ultra-small size (≈5 nm) selenium-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs, SC), which conjugated with triphenylphosphine (TPP) to create TPP-Se-CQDs (SCT). Further, SCT is dynamically complexed with hyaluronic acid modified with aldehyde and methacrylic anhydride (AHAMA) to construct highly permeable micro/nano hydrogel microspheres (SCT@AHAMA) for restoring chondro-bone metabolic homeostasis. In vitro experiments confirmed that the selenium atoms scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the mitochondria of mononuclear macrophages, inhibited osteoclast differentiation and function, and suppressed early chondrocyte apoptosis to maintain a balance between cartilage matrix synthesis and catabolism. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that the delivery system inhibited osteoclastogenesis and H-vessel invasion, thereby regulating the initiation and process of abnormal bone remodeling and inhibiting cartilage degeneration in SB. In conclusion, the micro/nano hydrogel microspheres based on ultra-small quantum dots facilitate the efficient penetration of articular SB and regulate chondro-bone metabolism for OA treatment.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128481. [PMID: 38042316 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128481] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease that is prone to fractures due to decreased bone density and bone quality, and delayed union or nonunion often occurs in osteoporotic fractures. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop tissue engineering materials to promote osteoporotic fracture healing. In this study, a series of biomimetic cryogels prepared from the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), methacrylate gelatin (GelMA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) via unidirectional freezing, photo- and genipin crosslinking were applied for the regeneration of osteoporotic fractures. Specifically, dECM extracted from normal or osteoporotic rats was applied for the preparation of the cryogels, named as GC-Normal dECM or GC-OVX dECM, respectively. It was verified that the GC-Normal dECM demonstrated superior performance in promoting the proliferation of BMSCs isolated from osteoporotic rats (OVX-BMSCs), and the differentiation of OVX-BMSCs into osteoblasts both in vitro and in vivo. RNA sequencing and further verifications confirmed that GC-Normal dECM cryogel could scavenge the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in OVX-BMSCs to accelerate the regeneration of osteoporotic fracture by down-regulating the reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (Romo1). The results indicated that by regulating the ROS niche of OVX-BMSCs, biomimetic the GC-Normal dECM cryogel was expected to be a clinical candidate for repairing osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
With the discovery of the intrinsic enzyme-like activity of metal oxides, nanozymes garner significant attention due to their superior characteristics, such as low cost, high stability, multi-enzyme activity, and facile preparation. Notably, in the field of biomedicine, nanozymes primarily focus on disease detection, antibacterial properties, antitumor effects, and treatment of inflammatory conditions. However, the potential for application in regenerative medicine, which primarily addresses wound healing, nerve defect repair, bone regeneration, and cardiovascular disease treatment, is garnering interest as well. This review introduces nanozymes as an innovative strategy within the realm of bone regenerative medicine. The primary focus of this approach lies in the facilitation of osteochondral regeneration through the modulation of the pathological microenvironment. The catalytic mechanisms of four types of representative nanozymes are first discussed. The pathological microenvironment inhibiting osteochondral regeneration, followed by summarizing the therapy mechanism of nanozymes to osteochondral regeneration barriers is introduced. Further, the therapeutic potential of nanozymes for bone diseases is included. To improve the therapeutic efficiency of nanozymes and facilitate their clinical translation, future potential applications in osteochondral diseases are also discussed and some significant challenges addressed.

Double hits with bioactive nanozyme based on cobalt-doped nanoglass for acute and diabetic wound therapies through anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic functions. Bioact Mater 2024; 31:298-311. [PMID: 37637079 PMCID: PMC10458956 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.08.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Regeneration of pathological wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, poses a significant challenge in clinical settings, despite the widespread use of drugs. To overcome clinical side effects and complications, drug-free therapeutics need to be developed to promote angiogenesis while overcoming inflammation to restore regenerative events. This study presents a novel bioactive nanozyme based on cobalt-doped nanoglass (namely, CoNZ), which exhibits high enzymatic/catalytic activity while releasing therapeutic ions. Cobalt oxide "Co3O4" tiny crystallites produced in situ through a chemical reaction with H2O2 within CoNZ nanoparticles play a crucial role in scavenging ROS. Results showed that CoNZ-treatment to full-thickness skin wounds in mice significantly accelerated the healing process, promoting neovascularization, matrix deposition, and epithelial lining while reducing pro-inflammatory signs. Notably, CoNZ was highly effective in treating pathological wounds (streptozotocin-induced diabetic wounds). Rapid scavenging of ROS by CoNZ and down-regulation of pro-inflammatory markers while up-regulating tissue healing signs with proliferative cells and activated angiogenic factors contributed to the observed healing events. In vitro experiments involving CoNZ-cultures with macrophages and endothelial cells exposed to high glucose and ROS-generating conditions further confirmed the effectiveness of CoNZ. CoNZ-promoted angiogenesis was attributed to the release of cobalt ions, as evidenced by the comparable effects of CoNZ-extracted ionic medium in enhancing endothelial migration and tubule formation via activated HIF-1α. Finally, we compared the in vivo efficacy of CoNZ with the clinically-available drug deferoxamine. Results demonstrated that CoNZ was as effective as the drug in closing the diabetic wound, indicating the potential of CoNZ as a novel drug-free therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of death and morbidity worldwide. Lifestyle modifications, medications, and addressing epidemiological factors have long been at the forefront of targeting therapeutics for CVD. Treatments can be further complicated given the intersection of gender, age, unique comorbidities, and healthcare access, among many other factors. Therefore, expanding treatment and diagnostic modalities for CVD is absolutely necessary. Nanoparticles and nanomaterials are increasingly being used as therapeutic and diagnostic modalities in various disciplines of biomedicine. Nanoparticles have multiple ways of interacting with the cardiovascular system. Some of them alter cardiac physiology by impacting ion channels, whereas others influence ions directly or indirectly, improving cellular death via decreasing oxidative stress. While embedding nanoparticles into therapeutics can help enhance healthy cardiovascular function in other scenarios, they can also impair physiology by increasing reactive oxidative species and leading to cardiotoxicity. This review explores different types of nanoparticles, their effects, and the applicable dosages to create a better foundation for understanding the current research findings.

Abstract
Introduction The formation of bone-like apatite (Ap) on natural polymers through biomimetic mineralization using simulated body fluid (SBF) can improve osteoconductivity and biocompatibility, while lowering immunological rejection. Nonetheless, the coating efficiency of the bone-like Ap layer on natural polymers requires improvement. Carbonyls (-COOH) and hydroxyls (-OH) are abundant in graphene oxide (GO), which may offer more active sites for biomimetic mineralization and promote the proliferation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Methods In this study, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) microgels were infused with GO (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/mL) and embedded into microgels in SBF for 1, 7, and 14 days. Systematic in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to evaluate the structure of the microgel and its effect on cell proliferation and ability to repair bone defects in rats. Results The resulting GO-GelMA-Ap microgels displayed a porous, interconnected structure with uniformly coated surfaces in bone-like Ap, and the Ca/P ratio of the 1 mg/mL GO-GelMA-Ap group was comparable to that of natural bone tissue. Moreover, the 1 mg/mL GO-GelMA-Ap group exhibited a greater Ap abundance, enhanced proliferation of BMSCs in vitro and increased bone formation in vivo compared to the GelMA-Ap group. Discussion Overall, this study offers a novel method for incorporating GO into microgels for bone tissue engineering to promote biomimetic mineralization.

Abstract
In recent years, bone regeneration has emerged as a remarkable field that offers promising guidance for treating bone-related diseases, such as bone defects, bone infections, and osteosarcoma. Among various bone regeneration approaches, the metal ion-based strategy has surfaced as a prospective candidate approach owing to the extensive regulatory role of metal ions in bone metabolism and the diversity of corresponding delivery strategies. Various metal ions can promote bone regeneration through three primary strategies: balancing the effects of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, regulating the immune microenvironment, and promoting bone angiogenesis. In the meantime, the complex molecular mechanisms behind these strategies are being consistently explored. Moreover, the accelerated development of biomaterials broadens the prospect of metal ions applied to bone regeneration. This review highlights the potential of metal ions for bone regeneration and their underlying mechanisms. We propose that future investigations focus on refining the clinical utilization of metal ions using both mechanistic inquiry and materials engineering to bolster the clinical effectiveness of metal ion-based approaches for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The development of surface modification techniques has brought about a major paradigm shift in the clinical applications of bone tissue regeneration. Biofabrication strategies enable the creation of scaffolds with specific microstructural environments and biological components. Lithium (Li) has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory, osteogenic, and chondrogenic properties by promoting several intracellular signaling pathways. Currently, research focuses on fabricating scaffolds with simultaneous dual bioactivities to enhance osteochondral regeneration. In this study, we modified the surface of calcium silicate (CS) scaffolds with Li using a simple immersion technique and evaluated their capabilities for bone regeneration. The results showed that Li ions could be easily coated onto the surfaces of CS scaffolds without affecting the microstructural properties of CS itself. Furthermore, the modifications did not affect the printing capabilities of the CS, and porous scaffolds could be fabricated via extrusion. Moreover, the presence of Li improved the surface roughness and hydrophilicity, thus leading to enhanced secretion of osteochondral-related regeneration factors, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and collagen II (Col II) proteins. Subsequent in vivo studies, including histological and micro-CT analyses, confirmed that the Li-modified CS scaffolds promoted osteochondral regeneration. The transcriptome analysis suggested that the enhanced osteochondrogenic capabilities of our scaffolds were influenced by paracrine exosomes. We hope this study will inspire further research on osteochondral regeneration.

Bioact Mater 2023; 27:181-199. [PMID: 37091064 PMCID: PMC10120318 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Lamellar bone, compactly and ingeniously organized in the hierarchical pattern with 6 ordered scales, is the structural motif of mature bone. Each hierarchical scale exerts an essential role in determining physiological behavior and osteogenic bioactivity of bone. Engineering lamellar bone with full-scale hierarchy remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, using bioskiving and mineralization, we attempt to engineer compact constructs resembling full-scale hierarchy of lamellar bone. Through systematically investigating the effect of mineralization on physicochemical properties and bioactivities of multi-sheeted collagen matrix fabricated by bioskiving, the hierarchical mimicry and hierarchy-property relationship are elucidated. With prolongation of mineralization, hierarchical mimicry and osteogenic bioactivity of constructs are performed in a bidirectional manner, i.e. first rising and then descending, which is supposed to be related with transformation of mineralization mechanism from nonclassical to classical crystallization. Construct mineralized 9 days can accurately mimic each hierarchical scale and efficiently promote osteogenesis. Bioinformatic analysis further reveals that this construct potently activates integrin α5-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through mechanical and biophysical cues, and thereby repairing critical-sized bone defect. The present study provides a bioinspired strategy for completely resembling complex hierarchy of compact mineralized tissue, and offers a critical research model for in-depth studying the structure-function relationship of bone.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to be a clinical risk factor for bone diseases including osteoporosis and fragility. Bone metabolism is a complicated process that requires coordinated differentiation and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Owing to the regenerative properties, BMSCs have laid a robust foundation for their clinical application in various diseases. However, mounting evidence indicates that the osteogenic capability of BMSCs is impaired under high glucose conditions, which is responsible for diabetic bone diseases and greatly reduces the therapeutic efficiency of BMSCs. With the rapidly increasing incidence of DM, a better understanding of the impacts of hyperglycemia on BMSCs osteogenesis and the underlying mechanisms is needed. In this review, we aim to summarize the current knowledge of the osteogenesis of BMSCs in hyperglycemia, the underlying mechanisms, and the strategies to rescue the impaired BMSCs osteogenesis.

Abstract
Bone defects in patients entail the microenvironment that needs to boost the functions of stem cells (e.g., proliferation, migration, and differentiation) while alleviating severe inflammation induced by high oxidative stress. Biomaterials can help to shift the microenvironment by regulating these multiple events. Here we report multifunctional composite hydrogels composed of photo-responsive Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) and dendrimer (G3)-functionalized nanoceria (G3@nCe). Incorporation of G3@nCe into GelMA could enhance the mechanical properties of hydrogels and their enzymatic ability to clear reactive oxygen species (ROS). The G3@nCe/GelMA hydrogels supported the focal adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and further increased their proliferation and migration ability (vs. pristine GelMA and nCe/GelMA). Moreover, the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was significantly stimulated upon the G3@nCe/GelMA hydrogels. Importantly, the capacity of G3@nCe/GelMA hydrogels to scavenge extracellular ROS enabled MSCs to survive against H2O2-induced high oxidative stress. Transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing identified the genes upregulated and the signalling pathways activated by G3@nCe/GelMA that are associated with cell growth, migration, osteogenesis, and ROS-metabolic process. When implanted subcutaneously, the hydrogels exhibited excellent tissue integration with a sign of material degradation while the inflammatory response was minimal. Furthermore, G3@nCe/GelMA hydrogels demonstrated effective bone regeneration capacity in a rat critical-sized bone defect model, possibly due to an orchestrated capacity of enhancing cell proliferation, motility and osteogenesis while alleviating oxidative stress.

[PMID: 36568157 PMCID: PMC9782440 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1005152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone metastatic cancer-secreted extracellular factors are capable of modifying the bone microenvironment through interacting with bone cells, including osteoblasts. Reticulum ribosome-binding protein 1 (RRBP1) is substantially expressed in certain bone metastatic cancer cells. This study was undertaken to determine whether RRBP1 from bone metastatic cancer cells affects the osteoblastic phenotype expression. Breast and prostate cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 and PC3, were cultured, respectively, followed by collecting conditioned mediums (CMs) and identifying the abundance of RRBP1 in CMs using LC-MS/MS. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with a mixed medium (including CMs from shRRBP1-transduced two-type cancer cells) with or without endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor 4-PBA, followed by measuring the levels of osteoblastic phenotype expression and biomarkers of ER stress using western blotting, qPCR, and ARS staining, respectively. Similar experiments were performed in shRrbp1-transduced MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with a mixed medium (including CMs from the two-type cancer cells). Bone formation parameters were measured in the tibia of nude mice injected with shRRBP1-transduced two-type cancer cells using micro-CT analysis. These results showed that RRBP1 is the sole shared high-abundance protein in CMs from the two-type cancer cells, involving osteoblast differentiation. CMs from shRRBP1-transduced two-type cells boosted the osteoblastic phenotype expression partially through increasing ER stress. CMs from the two-type cancer cells partially offset the similar alterations induced by shRrbp1 in MC3T3-E1 cells. Injection with shRRBP1-transduced two-type cells ameliorated the bone lesions in nude mice. Therefore, RRBP1 depletion of bone metastatic cancer enhanced the osteoblastic phenotype expression, suggesting a role of RRBP1 in the bone microenvironment.
