Excess glucose alone depress young mesenchymal stromal/stem cell osteogenesis and mitochondria activity within hours/days via NAD +/SIRT1 axis. J Biomed Sci 2024; 31:49. [PMID: 38735943 PMCID: PMC11089752 DOI: 10.1186/s12929-024-01039-0] [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: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of global overconsumption of simple sugars on bone health, which peaks in adolescence/early adulthood and correlates with osteoporosis (OP) and fracture risk decades, is unclear. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are the progenitors of osteoblasts/bone-forming cells, and known to decrease their osteogenic differentiation capacity with age. Alarmingly, while there is correlative evidence that adolescents consuming greatest amounts of simple sugars have the lowest bone mass, there is no mechanistic understanding on the causality of this correlation. METHODS Bioinformatics analyses for energetics pathways involved during MSC differentiation using human cell information was performed. In vitro dissection of normal versus high glucose (HG) conditions on osteo-/adipo-lineage commitment and mitochondrial function was assessed using multi-sources of non-senescent human and murine MSCs; for in vivo validation, young mice was fed normal or HG-added water with subsequent analyses of bone marrow CD45- MSCs. RESULTS Bioinformatics analyses revealed mitochondrial and glucose-related metabolic pathways as integral to MSC osteo-/adipo-lineage commitment. Functionally, in vitro HG alone without differentiation induction decreased both MSC mitochondrial activity and osteogenesis while enhancing adipogenesis by 8 h' time due to depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital mitochondrial co-enzyme and co-factor to Sirtuin (SIRT) 1, a longevity gene also involved in osteogenesis. In vivo, HG intake in young mice depleted MSC NAD+, with oral NAD+ precursor supplementation rapidly reversing both mitochondrial decline and osteo-/adipo-commitment in a SIRT1-dependent fashion within 1 ~ 5 days. CONCLUSIONS We found a surprisingly rapid impact of excessive glucose, a single dietary factor, on MSC SIRT1 function and osteogenesis in youthful settings, and the crucial role of NAD+-a single molecule-on both MSC mitochondrial function and lineage commitment. These findings have strong implications on future global OP and disability risks in light of current worldwide overconsumption of simple sugars.

Phytic acid improves osteogenesis and inhibits the senescence of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under high-glucose conditions via the ERK pathway. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 387:110818. [PMID: 38000455 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110818] [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: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Hyperglycaemia causes impairment of osteogenic differentiation and accelerates stem cell senescence, resulting in weakened osteogenesis and disordered bone metabolism. Phytic acid (PA) is an antioxidant that is reportedly beneficial to bone homeostasis. The present study aims to clarify how PA affects the osteogenic capacity and cellular senescence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exposed to high-glucose environments, as well as the potential molecular mechanisms. Our results indicate that osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs cultivated in high-glucose conditions is enhanced by PA, as evidenced by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and staining, Alizarin Red S staining, osteogenic marker in in vitro studies, and increased osteogenesis in animal experiments. PA also prevented high-glucose-induced senescence of BMSCs, as evidenced by the repression of reactive oxygen species production, senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, and P21 and P53 expression. Furthermore, it was found that PA rescued the high-glucose-inhibited expression of phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinases (p-ERK). The inhibition of ERK pathway by the specific inhibitor PD98059 blocked the PA-enhanced osteogenesis of BMSCs and promoted cell senescence. Our results revealed that PA enhances osteogenic differentiation and inhibits BMSC senescence in a high-glucose environment. In addition, the activation of the ERK pathway seems to mediate the beneficial effects of PA. The findings provide novel insights that could facilitate bone regeneration in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two major health care problems worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that DM poses a risk for osteoporosis and can contribute to the development of diabetes-induced osteoporosis (DOP). Interestingly, some epidemiological studies suggest that DOP may be at least partially distinct from those skeletal abnormalities associated with old age or postmenopausal osteoporosis. The increasing number of DM patients who also have DOP calls for a discussion of the pathogenesis of DOP and the investigation of drugs to treat DOP. Recently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have received more attention due to their significant role in cellular functions and bone formation. It is worth noting that ncRNAs have also been demonstrated to participate in the progression of DOP. Meanwhile, nano-delivery systems are considered a promising strategy to treat DOP because of their cellular targeting, sustained release, and controlled release characteristics. Additionally, the utilization of novel technologies such as the CRISPR system has expanded the scope of available options for treating DOP. Hence, this paper explores the functions and regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs in DOP and highlights the advantages of employing nanoparticle-based drug delivery techniques to treat DOP. Finally, this paper also explores the potential of ncRNAs as diagnostic DOP biomarkers.

Abstract
Aging is linked to the deterioration of many physical and cognitive abilities and is the leading risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The growing aging population is a significant healthcare problem globally that researchers must investigate to better understand the underlying aging processes. Advances in microarrays and sequencing techniques have resulted in deeper analyses of diverse essential genomes (e.g., mouse, human, and rat) and their corresponding cell types, their organ-specific transcriptomes, and the tissue involved in aging. Traditional gene controllers such as DNA- and RNA-binding proteins significantly influence such programs, causing the need to sort out long non-coding RNAs, a new class of powerful gene regulatory elements. However, their functional significance in the aging process and senescence has yet to be investigated and identified. Several recent researchers have associated the initiation and development of senescence and aging in mammals with several well-reported and novel long non-coding RNAs. In this review article, we identified and analyzed the evolving functions of long non-coding RNAs in cellular processes, including cellular senescence, aging, and age-related pathogenesis, which are the major hallmarks of long non-coding RNAs in aging.

Abstract
Bone has a robust regenerative potential, but its capacity to repair critical-sized bone defects is limited. In recent years, stem cells have attracted significant interest for their potential in tissue engineering. Applying mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for enhancing bone regeneration is a promising therapeutic strategy. However, maintaining optimal cell efficacy or viability of MSCs is limited by several factors. Epigenetic modification can cause changes in gene expression levels without changing its sequence, mainly including nucleic acids methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs. This modification is believed to be one of the determinants of MSCs fate and differentiation. Understanding the epigenetic modification of MSCs can improve the activity and function of stem cells. This review summarizes recent advances in the epigenetic mechanisms of MSCs differentiation into osteoblast lineages. We expound that epigenetic modification of MSCs can be harnessed to treat bone defects and promote bone regeneration, providing potential therapeutic targets for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Zoledronate (ZOL) were found to inhibit bone resorption in an animal model of diabetes, high glucose concentrations have been shown to decreased the osteogenesis-related gene expression. But the molecular mechanism by which high glucose levels affect osteoblasts and the effects of ZOL on osteoblast differentiation in a high-glucose environment remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of ZOL on osteoblast differentiation in a high-glucose environment and determine the responsible mechanism. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, and cell differentiation was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining for alkaline phosphatase expression, alizarin red staining, cytoskeletal arrangement, and actin fiber formation. Real-time PCR and western blot analyses were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expression of p38MAPK, phosphorylated (p)-p38MAPK, CREB, p-CREB, collagen (COL) I, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and RANKL. The results showed that cell proliferation activity did not differ among the groups. But high glucose inhibited osteoblast differentiation; actin fiber formation; and p38MAPK, p-p38MAPK, CREB, p-CREB, COL I, and OPG expression, while promoting RANKL expression. However, we found that treatment with ZOL reversed these effects of high glucose. And further addition of a p38MAPK inhibitor led to inhibition of osteoblast differentiation and actin fiber formation, and lower p38MAPK, p-p38MAPK, CREB, p-CREB, COL I, and OPG expression than in the high glucose +ZOL group with higher RANKL expression than in the high glucose +ZOL group. Collectively, this study demonstrates that high glucose inhibits the differentiation of osteoblasts, and ZOL could partly overcome these effects by regulating p38MAPK pathway activity.

Abstract
To analyze the difference of circulating lncRNA expression profile between the healthy control group and cerebral infarction (CI) patients and to study the epigenetic pathogenesis of CI. Forty patients with acute CI admitted to our hospital from December 2016 to December 2017 were selected as CI group, and 40 healthy people in physical examination center were selected as healthy group. In the CI group, blood samples were taken 5 mL at fasting in the morning (within 72 hours of CI), and the blood samples from healthy group were also taken 5 mL at fasting in the morning. The circulating lncRNA expression profile of serum sample was determined by high-throughput technique, and its difference was analyzed. Bioinformatics technology was used to explore its functional mechanism, and GO, KEGG analysis, and gene expression network were established for lncRNA with significant differences. Next, lnc-ZNF32-1 : 1 and lnc-PCGF5-2 : 1 were selected for further validation of serum lncRNA expression in ACI and NC groups, and ceRNA interaction network analysis, diagnostic specificity, and sensitivity of lnc-ZNF32-1 : 1 and lnc-PCGF5-2 : 1 were conducted. The results showed that compared with the healthy group, there were 512 known lncRNA expressed differentially in the serum of patients with CI, of which 371 were upregulated and 141 were downregulated, and 421 known mRNA expressed differentially, of which 245 were upregulated and 176 downregulated. The differentially expressed mRNA was mainly enriched in 53 gene functions, and the target gene was enriched in the pathways such as HTLV-I infection and pathways in cancer. In addition, the results explored that lnc-ZNF32-1 : 1 and lnc-PCGF5-2 : 1 have potential value for CI diagnosis. In conclusion, the expression profile of lncRNA in CI group was significantly different from that in healthy group, indicating that lncRNA might be closely related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of CI.

Abstract
Currently, findings support that 75% of the human genome is actively transcribed, but only 2% is translated into a protein, according to databases such as ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) [1]. The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, computational methods for genome assembly and biological models have led to the realization of the importance of the previously unconsidered non-coding fraction of the genome. Along with this, noncoding RNAs have been shown to be epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators in a large number of cellular processes [2]. Within the group of non-coding RNAs, lncRNAs represent a fascinating field of study, given the functional versatility in their mode of action on their molecular targets. In recent years, there has been an interest in learning about lncRNAs in MSC differentiation. The aim of this review is to address the signaling mechanisms where lncRNAs are involved, emphasizing their role in either stimulating or inhibiting the transition to differentiated cell. Specifically, the main types of MSC differentiation are discussed: myogenesis, osteogenesis, adipogenesis and chondrogenesis. The description of increasingly new lncRNAs reinforces their role as players in the well-studied field of MSC differentiation, allowing a step towards a better understanding of their biology and their potential application in the clinic.

Abstract
The impact of diabetes mellitus on bone fracture healing is clinically relevant as the patients experience delayed fracture healing. Even though efforts have been made to understand the detrimental effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the fracture healing process, the exact mechanisms causing the pathophysiological outcomes remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess alterations in bone fracture healing (tibial fracture surgery, intramedullary pinning) of diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, and to investigate the in vitro properties of osteochondroprogenitors derived from the diabetic micro-environment. High-resolution contrast-enhanced microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CE-CT) enabled a simultaneous 3D assessment of the amount and spatial distribution of the regenerated soft and hard tissues during fracture healing and revealed that osteogenesis as well as chondrogenesis are altered in DIO mice. Compared to age-matched lean controls, DIO mice presented a decreased bone volume fraction and increased callus volume and adiposity at day 14 post-fracture. Of note, bone turnover was found altered in DIO mice relative to controls, evidenced by decreased blood serum osteocalcin and increased serum CTX levels. The in vitro data revealed that not only the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) were altered by hyperglycemic (HG) conditions, but also the chondrogenic differentiation. Elevated PPARγ expression in HG conditions confirmed the observed increase in differentiated adipocytes in vitro. Finally, chondrogenesis-related genes COL2 and COL10 were downregulated for PDCs treated with HG medium, confirming that chondrogenic differentiation is compromised in vitro and suggesting that this may affect callus formation and maturation during the fracture healing process in vivo. Altogether, these results provide novel insights into the alterations of long bone fracture repair and suggest a link between HG-induced dysfunctionality of osteochondroprogenitor differentiation and fracture healing impairment under T2DM conditions.

Abstract
Self-renewal and differentiation into diverse cells are two main characteristics of stem cells. These cells have important roles in development and homeostasis of different tissues and are supposed to facilitate tissue regeneration. Function of stem cells is regulated by dynamic interactions between external signaling, epigenetic factors, and molecules that regulate expression of genes. Among the highly appreciated regulators of function of stem cells are long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Impact of miR-342-5p, miR-145, miR-1297, miR-204-5p, miR-132, miR-128-3p, hsa-miR-302, miR-26b-5p and miR-10a are among miRNAs that regulate function of stem cells. Among lncRNAs, AK141205, ANCR, MEG3, Pnky, H19, TINCR, HULC, EPB41L4A-AS1 and SNHG7 have important roles in the regulation of stem cells. In the current paper, we aimed at reviewing the importance of miRNAs and lncRNAs in differentiation of stem cells both in normal and diseased conditions. For this purpose, we searched PubMed/Medline and google scholar databases using "stem cell" AND "lncRNA", or "long non-coding RNA", or "microRNA" or "miRNA".

Abstract
Bone loss associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) begins at the onset of the disease, already in childhood, determining a lower bone mass peak and hence a greater risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life. The mechanisms underlying diabetic bone fragility are not yet completely understood. Hyperglycemia and insulin deficiency can affect the bone cells functions, as well as the bone marrow fat, thus impairing the bone strength, geometry, and microarchitecture. Several factors, like insulin and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1, can control bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell commitment, and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand/osteoprotegerin and Wnt-b catenin pathways can impair bone turnover. Some myokines may have a key role in regulating metabolic control and improving bone mass in T1DM subjects. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge of the mechanisms underlying altered bone remodeling in children affected by T1DM.

Abstract
The regenerative and immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have laid a sound foundation for their clinical application in various diseases. However, the clinical efficiency of MSC treatments varies depending on certain cell characteristics. Among these, the roles of cell aging or senescence cannot be excluded. Despite their stemness, evidence of senescence in MSCs has recently gained attention. Many factors may contribute to the senescence of MSCs, including MSC origin (biological niche), donor conditions (age, obesity, diseases, or unknown factors), and culture conditions in vitro. With the rapidly increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the effects of hyperglycemia on the senescence of MSCs should be evaluated to improve the application of autologous MSCs. This review aims to present the available data on the senescence of MSCs, its relationship with hyperglycemia, and the strategies to suppress the senescence of MSCs in a hyperglycemic environment.

High glucose promotes mineralization via bone morphogenetic protein 4-Smad signals in early stage of osteoblast differentiation. Diabetol Int 2021; 12:171-180.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is associated with bone fragility. Although osteoblast maturation is disturbed in patients with diabetes mellitus, the involvement of high glucose (HG) in different stages of osteoblast maturation is unclear. We used MC3T3-E1 cells, a murine osteoblastic cell line. The cells were incubated in high glucose medium (16.5 and 27.5 mM) with three different time courses: throughout 21 days, only first 7 days (early stage) and only last 7 days (late stage). Mineralization assay showed that HG throughout 21 days increased mineralization compared with control (5.5 mM). In the time course experiment, HG increased mRNA expression of Alp, osteocalcin (Ocn), runt-related transcription factor 2 and osterix on days 3 and 5. By contrast, long-term treatment with HG (14 and 21 days) decreased expression of these osteoblastic markers. HG only during early stage enhanced mineralization, while HG only during late stage had no effects. HG increased the expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4 and enhanced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8. Treatment with a BMP receptor antagonist LDN193189 prevented the HG-induced mineralization during early stage of osteoblast differentiation, indicating that HG in the early stage promotes mineralization by BMP4. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that continuous HG treatment might enhance early osteoblast differentiation but disturbs osteoblast maturation, and that BMP-4-Smad signal might be involved in the HG-induced differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts.

Abstract
Objective This study is aimed at investigating the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) RP11-815M8.1 in the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 before and after osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. The lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 in hBMSCs was overexpressed or silenced via lentiviral transfection. The transfection efficiency was detected by RT-PCR, and the proliferation of hBMSCs was determined by CCK-8. After 14 days of osteogenic differentiation of transfected hBMSCs, the expression of osteogenic transcription factors (ALP, OCN, OPN, Runx2, and Osterix) was detected by alizarin red staining and RT-PCR. The mRNAs directly regulated by lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 and targeted miRNAs were analyzed according to the positional relationship between lncRNA and mRNA in the genome and miRanda software. Results The expression of lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 enhanced with increasing osteogenic differentiation time of hBMSCs. Two days after the transfection of hBMSCs, lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 expression was significantly increased in the overexpression group and significantly decreased in the knockdown group, compared to control cells. The CCK-8 assay showed that overexpression and knockdown of lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 did not affect the proliferation of hBMSCs. After 14 days of differentiation of hBMSCs, stronger alizarin red staining was observed in the overexpression groups, and the expression of osteogenic transcription factors was increased in the overexpression group compared to the control. In the knockdown group, alizarin red staining and the expression of osteogenic transcription factors were decreased. Bioinformatics analysis showed that lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 was directly associated with one mRNA, 27 interacting miRNAs, and 20 miRNA-targeted mRNAs. Conclusion The osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs can be promoted by lncRNA RP11-815M8.1 in vitro.

Semaphorin3B Promotes Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a High-Glucose Microenvironment. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6637176.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play an essential role in osteogenesis and bone metabolism and have already been recognized as one of the most popular seed cells for bone tissue engineering for bone diseases. However, high-glucose (HG) conditions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exert deleterious effects on BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Semaphorin 3B (Sema3B) increases osteoblast differentiation in bone metabolism. Here, we determined the role of Sema3B in the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in the HG microenvironment. The HG microenvironment decreased Sema3B expression in BMSCs. Moreover, HG inhibited BMSC proliferation. Furthermore, HG inhibited osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs by decreasing the expression of bone formation markers, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mineralization. However, the administration of recombinant Sema3B reversed all of these effects. Moreover, our study found that Sema3B could activate the Akt pathway in BMSCs. Sema3B rescues defects in BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in the HG microenvironment by activating the Akt pathway. These effects were significantly reduced by treatment with an Akt inhibitor. Together, these findings demonstrate that Sema3B promotes the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the Akt pathway under HG conditions. Our study provides new insights into the potential ability of Sema3B to ameliorate BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in an HG microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone is an important tissue and its normal function requires tight coordination of transcriptional networks and signaling pathways, and many of these networks/ pathways are dysregulated in pathological conditions affecting cartilage and bones. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to a class of RNAs with a length of more than 200 nucleotides, lack of protein-coding potential, and exhibiting a wide range of biological functions. Although studies on lcnRNAs are still in their infancy, they have emerged as critical players in bone biology and bone diseases. The functions and exact mechanism of bone-related lncRNAs have not been fully classified yet. OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to summarize the current literature on lncRNAs on the basis of their role in bone biology and diseases, focusing on their emerging molecular mechanism, pathological implications and therapeutic potential. DISCUSSION A number of lncRNAs have been identified and shown to play important roles in multiple bone cells and bone disease. The function and mechanism of bone-related lncRNA remain to be elucidated. CONCLUSION At present, majority of knowledge is limited to cellular levels and less is known on how lncRNAs could potentially control the development and homeostasis of bone. In the present review, we highlight some lncRNAs in the field of bone biology and bone disease. We also delineate some lncRNAs that might have deep impacts on understanding bone diseases and providing new therapeutic strategies to treat these diseases.

Abstract
Objectives High glucose (HG)–mediated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) dysfunction plays a key role in impaired bone formation induced by type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Morroniside is an iridoid glycoside derived from the Chinese herb Cornus officinalis, and it has abundant biological activities associated with cell metabolism and tissue regeneration. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of morroniside on HG‐induced BMSC dysfunction remain poorly understood. Materials and methods Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity and Alizarin Red staining were performed to assess the osteogenesis of BMSCs. Quantitative real‐time PCR and Western blot (WB) were used to investigate the osteo‐specific markers, receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) signalling and glyoxalase‐1 (Glo1). Additionally, a T1DM rat model was used to assess the protective effect of morroniside in vivo. Results Morroniside treatment reverses the HG‐impaired osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. Morroniside suppressed advanced glycation end product (AGEs) formation and RAGE expression by triggering Glo1. Moreover, the enhanced osteogenesis due to morroniside treatment was partially blocked by the Glo1 inhibitor, BBGCP2. Furthermore, in vivo, morroniside attenuated bone loss and improved bone microarchitecture accompanied by Glo1 upregulation and RAGE downregulation. Conclusions These findings suggest that morroniside attenuates HG‐mediated BMSC dysfunction partly through the inhibition of AGE‐RAGE signalling and activation of Glo1 and may be a potential treatment for diabetic osteoporosis.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has announced the emerging roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in modulating bone homeostasis due to their potential regulating effects on bone-related cells' proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis. Thus, lncRNAs have been considered as a promising gene tool to facilitate the bone regeneration process and then to predict and cure bone-related diseases such as osteosarcoma, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. In this review, we first enumerated several kinds of dysregulated lncRNAs and concisely summarized their regulating role in bone formation as well as resorption process. The related mechanisms were also discussed, respectively. Then, the positive or negative behavior of these lncRNAs in bone-related diseases was elucidated. This review provides an in-depth sight about the lncRNA's clinical values and limitations, which is conducive to explore new gene targets and further establish new therapeutic strategies for bone-related disease.

Abstract
Diabetic osteoporosis is a severe and chronic complication of diabetes in the bone and joint system, and its pathogenesis is needed to be explored. In the present study, we examined the effect and underlying mechanism of miR-155 on osteogenic differentiation in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) under high glucose and free fatty acids (HG-FFA) conditions. It was shown that miR-155 levels in hBMSCs increased corresponding to the time of exposure to HG-FFA treatment. MiR-155 expression was altered by transfecting miR-155 mimic or miR-155 inhibitor. HG-FFA exposure resulted in an obviously decrease in cell viability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and downregulated the expressionof runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteocalcin (OCN) in hBMSCs. Transfection of miR-155 mimic further exacerbated HG-FFA-induced inhibitory effect on osteogenic differentiation, and miR-155 inhibitor neutralized this inhibitory effect. Luciferase assays confirmed that SIRT1 was a direct target of miR-155 and can be negatively modulated by miR-155. Furthermore, SIRT1 siRNA partially counteracted miR-155 inhibitor-induced upregulation of SIRT1in HG-FFA-treated hBMSCs. SIRT1 siRNA also reversed the promotional effect of the miR-155 inhibitor on ALP activity and expression of the Runx2 and OCN proteins under HG-FFA conditions. In conclusion, the results suggest that miR-155 suppression promoted osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs under HG-FFA conditions by targeting SIRT1. Inhibition of MiR-155 may provide a new therapeutic method for the prevention and treatment of diabetic osteoporosis.

Abstract
High glucose condition inhibited osteoblast differentiation could be a main mechanism contributing to the decreased bone repair associated with diabetes. Metformin, a widely prescribed antidiabetic drug, was shown to have osteogenic properties in our previous study. Transplanted mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may differentiate into osteoblasts and promote bone regeneration. Our study aimed to combine the benefits of metformin and MSCs transplantation on osteogenesis in high glucose conditions. We developed demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) as a carrier to target deliver metformin and dental pulp-derived MSCs (DPSCs). We collected clinically discarded teeth, isolated DPSCs from the dental pulp, and prepared the DDM from the dentin. The DDM was observed by scanning electron microscopy and was found to have well-distributed tubes. Then, metformin was loaded into the DDM to form the DDM-Met complex (DDM-Met); DDM-Met released metformin at a favorable concentration. The DPSCs seeded with the DDM-Met in a high glucose medium showed satisfactory attachment and viability together with increased mineralization and upregulated osteogenesis-related genes, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteopontin (OPN). A possible mechanism of the enhanced osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs was explored, and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway was found to play a role in the enhancement of osteogenesis. DDM-Met appeared to be a successful metformin and DPSC carrier that allowed for the local delivery of metformin and DPSCs in high glucose conditions. DDM-Met-DPSC construct has promising prospects to promote osteogenesis and enhance the much-needed diabetic bone regeneration.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20194834. [PMID: 31569432 PMCID: PMC6801644 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20194834] [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: 08/21/2019] [Revised: 09/21/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Lactoferrin (LF) has demonstrated stimulation of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in regulating the osteogenic differentiation processes. However, the impact of LF on lncRNA expression in MSC osteogenic differentiation is poorly understood. Our aim was to investigate the effects of LF on lncRNAs expression profiles, during osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), by RNA sequencing. A total number of 1331 putative lncRNAs were identified in rBMSCs during osteogenic differentiation in the study. LF influenced the expression of 120 lncRNAs (differentially expressed lncRNAs [DELs], Fold change > 1.5 or < −1.5; p < 0.05) in rBMSCs on day 14 of osteogenic differentiation, consisted of 60 upregulated and 60 down-regulated. Furthermore, the potential functions of DELs were of prediction by searching their target cis- and trans-regulated protein-coding genes. The bioinformatic analysis of DELs target gene revealed that LF led to the disfunction of transforming growth factor beta stimulus (TGF-β) and positive regulation of I-κappa B kinase/NF-κappa B signaling pathway, which may relate to osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Our work is the first profiling of lncRNA in osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs induced by LF, and provides valuable insights into the potential mechanisms for LF promoting osteogenic activity.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that the rate of fluid shear stress (ΔSS) can manipulate the fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to osteogenic or chondrogenic cells. However, whether ΔSS is comparable to other two means of induction medium and substrate stiffness that have been proven to be potent in differentiation control is unknown. In this study, we subjected MSCs to 1-7 days of osteogenic or chondrogenic chemical induction, or 1-4 days of 37 or 86 kPa of substrate stiffness induction, followed by 20 min of Fast ΔSS (0-0') or Slow ΔSS (0-2'), which is a laminar FSS that linearly increased from 0 to 10 dyn/cm 2 in 0 (Fast) or 2 min (Slow) and maintained at 10 dyn/cm 2 for a total of 20 min. We found that 20 min of ΔSS could compete with 5 days' chemical and 2 days' substrate stiffness inductions. Our study confirmed that ΔSS is a powerful tool to control the differentiation of MSCs, which stressed the possible application in MSCs linage specification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycosis fungoides (MF) is indolent, but may disseminate to leukemia. We reported that C-C motif chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) is associated with MF invasion and progression. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), a long noncoding RNA, is associated with several cancer types, however, how it interacts with CCL21 to regulate MF progression, remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of long noncoding RNAs MALAT1, antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL), Hox antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), highly up-regulated in liver cancer RNA (HULC), and leukemia-associated non-coding insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor activator RNA 1 (LUNAR1) in tissues from MF was studied using polymerase chain reaction and RNA interference in MF cell line MyLa were used to address this question. RESULTS Expression of MALAT1 was selectively increased in MF tissues. C-C Chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7) expression was found to be increased in MyLa cells. CCL21 was found not only to mediate migration, but also to enhance MALAT1 and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation in MyLa cells. Knockdown of MALAT1 abrogated CCL21-mediated migration, but not mTOR activation. In contrast, mTOR inhibition reduced CCL21-mediated migration and MALAT1 expression. CONCLUSION CCL21 induced mTOR activation in MyLa cells, followed by expression of MALAT1, causing cell migration. MALAT1 and mTOR are potential therapeutic targets for MF.

Abstract
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) often suffer from osteopenia or osteoporosis. Although most agree that T1DM-induced hyperglycemia is a risk factor for progressive bone loss, the mechanisms for the link between T1DM and bone loss still remain elusive. In this study, we found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) isolated from T1DM donors were less inducible for osteogenesis than those from non-T1DM donors and further identified a mechanism involving bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP6) that was produced significantly less in BMSCs derived from T1DM donors than that in control cells. With addition of exogenous BMP6 in culture, osteogenesis of BMSCs from T1DM donors was restored whereas the treatment of BMP6 seemed not to affect non-T1DM control cells. We also demonstrated that bone mineral density (BMD) was reduced in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice compared with that in control animals, and intraperitoneal injection of BMP6 mitigated bone loss and increased BMD in diabetic mice. Our results suggest that bone formation in T1DM patients is impaired by reduction of endogenous BMP6, and supplementation of BMP6 enhances osteogenesis of BMSCs to restore BMD in a mouse model of T1DM, which provides insight into the development of clinical treatments for T1DM-assocaited bone loss.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, including osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic lineages. Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs plays a critical role in bone tissue engineering. Inducing MSC osteogenesis represents a potential treatment that promotes bone formation and bone regeneration. Recently, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was shown to participate in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Different lncRNA expression patterns can regulate the cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, immunobiology and differentiation. With the recent extensive study of lncRNAs, an increasing number of lncRNAs are being studied in the MSC field. Furthermore, some lncRNAs have been confirmed to regulate MSC osteogenesis. Therefore, here, we review research concerning lncRNA in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and highlight the importance of lncRNA in bone formation and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease that results in loss of bone density and increased fracture risk, particularly in the vertebrae and the hip. This condition and associated morbidity and mortality increase with population ageing. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins, but play important regulatory roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. Their contribution to disease onset and development is increasingly recognized. Herein, we present an integrative revision on the studies that implicate lncRNAs in osteoporosis and that support their potential use as therapeutic tools. Firstly, current evidence on lncRNAs involvement in cellular and molecular mechanisms linked to osteoporosis and its major complication, fragility fractures, is reviewed. We analyze evidence of their roles in osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and bone fracture healing events from human and animal model studies. Secondly, the potential of lncRNAs alterations at genetic and transcriptomic level are discussed as osteoporosis risk factors and as new circulating biomarkers for diagnosis. Finally, we conclude debating the possibilities, persisting difficulties, and future prospects of using lncRNAs in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of multipotent stroma cells residing in various tissues of the body. Apart from supporting the hematopoietic stem cell niche, MSCs possess strong immunoregulatory ability and multiple differentiation potentials. These powerful capacities allow the extensive application of MSCs in clinical practice as an effective treatment for diseases. Therefore, illuminating the functional mechanism of MSCs will help to improve their curative effect and promote their clinical use. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) is a novel class of noncoding RNA longer than 200 nt. Recently, multiple studies have demonstrated that LncRNA is widely involved in growth and development through controlling the fate of cells, including MSCs. In this review, we highlight the role of LncRNA in regulating the functions of MSCs and discuss their participation in the pathogenesis of diseases and clinical use in diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA steroid receptor RNA activator (lncRNA-SRA) has been proven to regulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation, indicating its possible involvement in cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the involvement of lncRNA-SRA in type II diabetic cardiovascular disease. The plasma levels of lncRNA-SRA were identified to be significantly lower in patients with type II diabetic cardiovascular disease compared with those in type II diabetic patients without any obvious complications and in healthy controls. A 5-year follow-up study revealed that low vs. high expression levels of lncRNA-SRA were associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in type II diabetic patients. High-glucose treatment did not significantly affect the expression of lncRNA-SRA in human VSMCs in vitro. However, ectopic overexpression of lncRNA-SRA increased the viability of human VSMCs in a high-glucose environment. It was concluded that downregulation of lncRNA-SRA may participate in the development of cardiovascular disease in type II diabetic patients.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with limited coding potential, which have emerged as novel regulators in many biological and pathological processes, including growth, development, and oncogenesis. Accumulating evidence suggests that lncRNAs have a special role in the osteogenic differentiation of various types of cell, including stem cells from different sources such as embryo, bone marrow, adipose tissue and periodontal ligaments, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Involved in complex mechanisms, lncRNAs regulate osteogenic markers and key regulators and pathways in osteogenic differentiation. In this review, we provide insights into the functions and molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in osteogenesis and highlight their emerging roles and clinical value in regenerative medicine and osteogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract
Stem cell‐derived exosomes have exhibited promise for applications in tissue regeneration. However, one major problem for stem cell‐derived exosome therapies is identifying appropriate source cells. In the present study, we aimed to compare the bone regenerative effect of exosomes secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) derived from type 1 diabetes rats (dBMSC‐exos) and exosomes secreted by BMSCs derived from normal rats (nBMSC‐exos). BMSCs were isolated from rats with streptozotocin‐induced diabetes and normal rats. dBMSC‐exos and nBMSC‐exos were isolated by an ultracentrifugation method and identified. The effects of dBMSC‐exos and nBMSC‐exos on the proliferation and migration of BMSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were investigated. The effects of exosomes on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the angiogenic activity of HUVECs were compared. Finally, a rat calvarial defect model was used to compare the effects of exosomes on bone regeneration and neovascularization in vivo. In vitro, dBMSC‐exos and nBMSC‐exos both enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and promoted the angiogenic activity of HUVECs, but nBMSC‐exos had a greater effect than dBMSC‐exos. Similarly, in vivo, both dBMSC‐exos and nBMSC‐exos promoted bone regeneration and neovascularization in rat calvarial defects, but the therapeutic effect of nBMSC‐exos was superior to that of dBMSC‐exos. The present study demonstrates for the first time that the bone regenerative effect of exosomes derived from BMSCs is impaired in type 1 diabetes, indicating that for patients with type 1 diabetes, the autologous transplantation of BMSC‐exos to promote bone regeneration may be inappropriate. stem cells translational medicine2019;8:593–605

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an important population of multipotent stem cells that differentiate into multiple lineages and display great potential in bone regeneration and repair. Although the role of protein-coding genes in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs has been extensively studied, the functions of noncoding RNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs are unclear. The recent application of next-generation sequencing to MSC transcriptomes has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. LncRNAs are a class of non-coding transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides in length. Noncoding RNAs are thought to play a key role in osteoblast differentiation through various regulatory mechanisms including chromatin modification, transcription factor binding, competent endogenous mechanism, and other post-transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we review the roles of lncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow- and adipose-derived stem cells and provide a theoretical foundation for future research.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a specific group of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins. They have been shown to serve important regulatory functions in various biological and cell differentiation processes. However, the potential functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs that are associated with the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate lncRNAs that are differentially expressed during the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, along with the potential functions of those lncRNAs. To this end, three groups of hBMSCs were stimulated to undergo osteogenic differentiation for 7 days. Known lncRNAs, unknown lncRNAs and mRNAs that demonstrated differential expression prior to and following the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs were screened using lncRNA high-throughput sequencing. In addition, 12 lncRNAs were selected for reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation of the accuracy of the sequencing results. The potential functions and possible targets of the differentially expressed lncRNAs were analyzed using bioinformatics technologies (gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and gene co-expression network analysis). In total, 64 lncRNAs were differentially expressed by at least two-fold in hBMSCs prior to and following osteogenic differentiation; these included seven known lncRNAs (two upregulated and five downregulated lncRNAs) and 57 unknown lncRNAs (35 upregulated and 22 downregulated lncRNAs). In addition, 409 mRNAs (257 upregulated and 152 downregulated mRNAs) were differentially expressed by at least two-fold. The RT-qPCR results obtained for 12 selected differentially expressed lncRNAs were consistent with the sequencing results. The gene co-expression network analysis of lncRNAs and mRNAs demonstrated that four lncRNAs (ENSG00000238042, lnc_1269, lnc_1369 and lnc_1708) may serve important roles in the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. In conclusion, during the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, the lncRNA expression profile changed significantly; certain of the observed differentially expressed lncRNAs may be derived from protein-coding genes and may serve important roles in osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were proposed to be important regulators influencing various differentiation processes. Yet, the molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs governing osteogenic differentiation of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs) remain unclear. Here, PDLSCs were isolated from normal periodontal ligament of human (PDL) whereas P-PDLSCs were isolated from periodontitis affected PDL. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to examine the relative expression level of lncRNA-ANCR and of Osterix (OSX), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) as well as Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in PDLSCs. Gain- and loss-of- function experiments was performed to study the role of lncRNA-ANCR. Alizarin Red staining was used to evaluate the function of lncRNA-ANCR and miRNA-758 on osteogenic differentiation. In addition, via dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation the microRNA sponge potential of lncRNA-ANCR was assessed. A luciferase reporter assay identified the correlation between miR-758 and Notch2. Our results showed that the expression of ALP, RUNX2 and OSX were increased whereas lncRNA-ANCR was decreased during the process of differentiation in PDLSCs. Overexpression of lncRNA-ANCR decreased the expression of ALP, RUNX2 and OSX as confirmed by Alizarin red staining. Overexpression of lncRNA-ANCR resulted in reduction of the miR-758 expression level. Furthermore, RNA immunoprecipitation proved that lncRNA-ANCR targets miR-758 directly. The results of dual luciferase reporter assay also demonstrated that miR-758 regulated Notch2 expression by targeting 3'-UTR of Notch2. In conclusion, the novel pathway lncRNA-ANCR/miR-758/Notch2 plays an important role in the process of regulating osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential for treatment of diabetes. However, in vitro behavior of MSCs in high glucose condition as well as presence of glucose lowering agents is not fully understood. Because MSCs have an important role in tissue repair, we examined the effects of metformin and celecoxib on viability of MSCs in different glucose conditions. MSCs, from umbilical cord blood, were cultured in normoglycemic (glucose 5.5 mM), midglycemic (glucose 10 mM), and hyperglycemic (glucose 25 mM) conditions, and the cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. The cytotoxicity and secretion of GDF-15 were further tested in MSCs treated with metformin and celecoxib in various glucose concentrations. Our results showed that high glucose condition lowered viability of MSCs. Metformin treatment also inhibited proliferation of MSCs, but its toxicity was not changed in high glucose condition. Celecoxib induced cytotoxicity in MSCs, and the toxicity was increased in high glucose condition. Metformin and celecoxib induced release from MSCs; however, high glucose inhibited the metformin-induced GDF-15 release. These findings suggested that metformin did not increase the cytotoxicity of high glucose condition in MSCs. Moreover, celecoxib treatment in diabetic condition can reduce the viability of MSCs to proliferate and regenerate perhaps via change in release of GDF-15.
