Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glucocorticoids delay fracture healing and induce osteoporosis. Angiogenesis plays an important role in bone repair after bone injury. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the principal inhibitor of plasminogen activators and an adipocytokine that regulates metabolism. However, the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids delay bone repair remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Therefore, we herein investigated the roles of PAI-1 and angiogenesis in glucocorticoid-induced delays in bone repair after femoral bone injury using PAI-1-deficient female mice intraperitoneally administered dexamethasone (Dex). RESULTS PAI-1 deficiency significantly attenuated Dex-induced decreases in the number of CD31-positive vessels at damaged sites 4 days after femoral bone injury in mice. PAI-1 deficiency also significantly ameliorated Dex-induced decreases in the number of CD31- and endomucin-positive type H vessels and CD31-positive- and endomucin-negative vessels at damaged sites 4 days after femoral bone injury. Moreover, PAI-1 deficiency significantly mitigated Dex-induced decreases in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor as well as hypoxia inducible factor-1α, transforming growth factor-β1, and bone morphogenetic protein-2 at damaged sites 4 days after femoral bone injury. CONCLUSION The present results demonstrate that Dex-reduced angiogenesis at damaged sites during the early bone-repair phase after femoral bone injury partly through PAI-1 in mice.

Abstract
Bone defects are a common orthopaedic concern, and an increasing number of tissue-engineered bones (TEBs) are used to repair bone defects. Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (allo-MSCs) are used as seed cells in many approaches to develop TEB constructs, but the immune response caused by allogeneic transplantation may lead to transplant failure. V gamma 4 T (Vγ4T) cells play an important role in mediating the immune response in the early stage after transplantation; therefore, we wanted to verify whether suppressing Vγ4T cells by herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM)/B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) signalling can promote MSCs osteogenesis in the transplanted area. In vitro experiments showed that the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and Vγ4T cells was weakened after co-culture, and an increase in interleukin-17 (IL-17) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels was detected in the culture supernatant. HVEM-transfected MSCs (MSCs-HVEM) still exhibited osteogenic differentiation activity after co-culture with Vγ4T cells, and the levels of IL-17 and IFN-γ in the co-culture supernatant were significantly reduced. In vivo experiments revealed that inflammation in the transplanted area was reduced and osteogenic repair was enhanced after Vγ4T cells were removed. MSCs-HVEM can also consistently contribute to reduced inflammation in the transplanted area and enhanced bone repair in wild-type (WT) mice. Therefore, our experiments verified that HVEM can promote the osteogenesis of allo-MSCs by inhibiting IL-17 and IFN-γ secretion from Vγ4T cells.

[PMID: 32944096 PMCID: PMC7493393 DOI: 10.1186/s41232-020-00128-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
In bone tissues, metabolic turnover through bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts, termed bone remodeling, is strictly controlled and maintains homeostasis. Fibrinolytic factors are expressed in osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and are involved in bone remodeling through bone resorption and formation. The repair/regeneration process after bone injury is divided into the acute inflammatory, repair, and remodeling stages. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, and macrophages involved in the bone repair process originate from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow. Therefore, stem cells in the bone marrow may be strongly influenced by bone injury. The urokinase-type PA (u-PA)/plasminogen (Plg) system functions in macrophage accumulation/phagocytosis through chemokines in the acute inflammatory stage, and Plg increases blood vessel-related growth factor expression, being involved in vascularization in mice. Plasminogen activator inhivitor-1 (PAI-1) causes bone loss and delayed bone repair through the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation in a drug-induced diabetes model in mice. Plg is considered to induce transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) production in macrophages in the bone repair process, TGF-β release from the extracellular matrix through the activation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) expression in endosteal preosteoblasts, leading to the induction of bone marrow HSPCs in mice. Based on the above, establishment of a fibrinolytic factor-targeting method efficiently promoting bone repair/regeneration and fracture healing, and development of a new osteoporosis treatment method and diagnostic marker are awaited.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid (GC) treatments induce osteoporosis and chronic GC treatments have been suggested to induce delayed bone repair; however, the mechanisms by which GC induces delayed bone repair remain unclear. We herein investigated the roles of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in GC-induced effects on bone repair after femoral bone injury using female mice with a PAI-1 deficiency and their wild-type counterparts. Dexamethasone (Dex) increased plasma PAI-1 levels as well as PAI-1 mRNA levels in the adipose tissues and muscles of wild-type mice. PAI-1 deficiency significantly blunted Dex-induced delayed bone repair in mice. Moreover, PAI-1 deficiency significantly blunted Runx2 mRNA levels suppressed by Dex as well as Dex-induced osteoblast apoptosis at the damaged site 7 days after bone injury in mice. On the other hand, PAI-1 deficiency did not affect adipogenic gene expression enhanced by Dex at the damaged site 7 days after bone injury in mice. In conclusion, we herein showed for the first time that PAI-1 is involved in delayed bone repair after bone injury induced by GC in mice. PAI-1 may influence early stage osteoblast differentiation and apoptosis during the osteoblastic restoration phase of the bone repair process.
