Osteopontin: A Key Multifaceted Regulator in Tumor Progression and Immunomodulation. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1527. [PMID: 39062100 PMCID: PMC11274826 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of various cellular components such as tumor cells, stromal cells including fibroblasts, adipocytes, mast cells, lymphatic vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. The intricate interplay between these cells influences tumor growth, metastasis and therapy failure. Significant advancements in breast cancer therapy have resulted in a substantial decrease in mortality. However, existing cancer treatments frequently result in toxicity and nonspecific side effects. Therefore, improving targeted drug delivery and increasing the efficacy of drugs is crucial for enhancing treatment outcome and reducing the burden of toxicity. In this review, we have provided an overview of how tumor and stroma-derived osteopontin (OPN) plays a key role in regulating the oncogenic potential of various cancers including breast. Next, we dissected the signaling network by which OPN regulates tumor progression through interaction with selective integrins and CD44 receptors. This review addresses the latest advancements in the roles of splice variants of OPN in cancer progression and OPN-mediated tumor-stromal interaction, EMT, CSC enhancement, immunomodulation, metastasis, chemoresistance and metabolic reprogramming, and further suggests that OPN might be a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for the evolving landscape of cancer management.

[PMID: 38999458 PMCID: PMC11242793 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone has traditionally been viewed in the context of its structural contribution to the human body. Foremost providing necessary support for mobility, its roles in supporting calcium homeostasis and blood cell production are often afterthoughts. Recent research has further shed light on the ever-multifaceted role of bone and its importance not only for structure, but also as a complex endocrine organ producing hormones responsible for the autoregulation of bone metabolism. Osteocalcin is one of the most important substances produced in bone tissue. Osteocalcin in circulation increases insulin secretion and sensitivity, lowers blood glucose, and decreases visceral adipose tissue. In males, it has also been shown to enhance testosterone production by the testes. Neuropeptide Y is produced by various cell types including osteocytes and osteoblasts, and there is evidence suggesting that peripheral NPY is important for regulation of bone formation. Hormonal disorders are often associated with abnormal levels of bone turnover markers. These include commonly used bone formation markers (bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and procollagen I N-propeptide) and commonly used resorption markers (serum C-telopeptides of type I collagen, urinary N-telopeptides of type I collagen, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5b). Bone, however, is not exclusively comprised of osseous tissue. Bone marrow adipose tissue, an endocrine organ often compared to visceral adipose tissue, is found between trabecula in the bone cortex. It secretes a diverse range of hormones, lipid species, cytokines, and other factors to exert diverse local and systemic effects.

Incidence rate of osteonecrosis of jaw after cancer treated with bisphosphonates and denosumab: A systematic review and meta-analysis. SPECIAL CARE IN DENTISTRY 2024; 44:530-541. [PMID: 37219080 DOI: 10.1111/scd.12877] [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: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the overall incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) caused by bisphosphonates and denosumab when used for controlling bone cancer metastasis or as adjuvant therapy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases and major meetings' proceedings as of July 30, 2022, identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational trials that evaluated ONJ caused by denosumab or bisphosphonates. The total incidence and risk ratio (RR) for ONJ were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 42 003 patients with various solid tumors reported in 23 RCTs were included. The overall ONJ incidence in cancer patients receiving denosumab or bisphosphonates was 2.08% (95% CI 1.37-2.91; p < .01; I2 = 94.99%). Patients receiving denosumab had a higher ONJ incidence than those receiving bisphosphonates (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.10-2.44; p < .05; I2 = 65.4%). Subgroup analyses showed that prostate cancer patients receiving denosumab and receiving zoledronic acid had the highest ONJ incidences, 5.0% and 3.0%, respectively. The incidence of ONJ induced by different doses was also different. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ONJ caused by denosumab and bisphosphonates is low, the dose of the drug and the type of cancer have certain influence on ONJ. Therefore, clinicians should use the drug reasonably to improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous evidence shows that lithium chloride (LiCl), a suppressor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), may enhance bone formation in several medical and dental conditions. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to assess the effects of LiCl on extraction socket repair in rats. METHODS Thirty rats were randomly assigned into a control group (administration of water; n = 15) or a LiCl group (administration of 150 mg/kg of LiCl; n = 15). LiCl and water were given every other day, starting at 7 days before the extraction of upper first molars until the end of each experiment period. Histological sections from five rats per group were obtained at 10, 20, and 30 days post-extractions. Histometrical analysis of newly formed bone (NB) and the levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-stained cells were evaluated at 10, 20, and 30 days post-extractions. Immunohistochemical staining for receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN) was assessed at 10 days post-extractions. RESULTS The LiCl group had a greater proportion of NB than the control group at 20 days (P < 0.05). At 30 days, the rate of TRAP-stained cells was lower in the LiCl group than in the control group (P < 0.05). At 10 days, the LiCl group presented stronger staining for OPG, BSP, OPN, and OCN, when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Systemic LiCl enhanced extraction socket repair, stimulated an overall increase in bone formation markers, and restricted the levels of TRAP in rats.

Abstract
The homeostasis and health of an organism depend on the coordinated interaction of specialized organs, which is regulated by interorgan communication networks of circulating soluble molecules and neuronal connections. Many diseases that seemingly affect one primary organ are really multiorgan diseases, with substantial secondary remote organ complications that underlie a large part of their morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in critically ill patients with multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality, particularly when it occurs together with respiratory failure. Inflammatory lung lesions in patients with kidney failure that could be distinguished from pulmonary oedema due to volume overload were first reported in the 1930s, but have been largely overlooked in clinical settings. A series of studies over the past two decades have elucidated acute and chronic kidney-lung and lung-kidney interorgan communication networks involving various circulating inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, metabolites, uraemic toxins, immune cells and neuro-immune pathways. Further investigations are warranted to understand these clinical entities of high morbidity and mortality, and to develop effective treatments.

Abstract
Tau protein blood levels dependent on its distribution to peripheral organs and possible elimination from the body. Thus, the peripheral distribution of CSF-derived tau protein was explored, especially since there is a transition to blood-based biomarkers and the emerging idea that tau pathology may spread beyond brain. Near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) was mainly used to analyze tau (tau-NIRF) distribution after its intracisternal or intravenous injection. There was a striking uptake of blood- or CSF-derived tau-NIRF protein by the skeletal structures, liver, small intestine (duodenum), gall bladder, kidneys, urinary bladder, lymph nodes, heart, and spleen. In aging and in older APP/PS1 mice, tau uptake in regions, such as the brain, liver, and skeleton, was increased. In bone (femur) injected tau protein was associated with integrin-binding sialoprotein (IBSP), a major non-collagenous glycoprotein that is associated with mineralization. Tau-NIRF was cleared slowly from CSF via mainly across the cribriform plate, and cervical lymph nodes. In brain, some of the CSF injected tau protein was associated with NeuN-positive and PDGFRý-positive cells, which may explain its retention. The presence of tau in the bladders suggested excretion routes of tau. CSF anti-tau antibody increased CSF tau clearance, while blood anti-tau antibody decreased tau accumulation in the femur but not in liver, kidney, and spleen. Thus, the data show a body-wide distribution and retention of CSF-derived tau protein, which increased with aging and in older APP/PS1 mice. Further work is needed to elucidate the relevance of tau accumulation in each organ to tauopathy.

Abstract
The biological functions of osteopontin (OPN) are diverse and specific to physiological and pathophysiological conditions implicated in inflammation, biomineralization, cardiovascular diseases, cellular viability, cancer, diabetes, and renal stone disease. We aimed to present the role of OPN in respiratory health and disease. OPN influences the immune system and is a chemo-attractive protein correlated with respiratory disease severity. There is evidence that OPN can advance the disease stage associated with its fibrotic, inflammatory, and immune functions. OPN contributes to eosinophilic airway inflammation. OPN can destroy the lung parenchyma through its neutrophil influx and fibrotic mechanisms, linking OPN to at least one of the two major chronic obstructive pulmonary disease phenotypes. Respiratory diseases that involve irreversible lung scarring, such as idiopathic pulmonary disease, are linked to OPN, with protein levels being overexpressed in individuals with severe or advanced stages of the disorders and considerably lower levels in those with less severe symptoms. OPN plays a significant role in lung cancer progression and metastasis. It is also implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, coronavirus disease 2019, and granuloma generation.

Abstract
The clinical manifestations of bone metastases are diversified while many sites remain asymptomatic at early stage. As the early diagnosis method is not perfect and the early symptoms of tumor bone metastasis are not typical, bone metastasis is not easy to be detected. Therefore, the search for bone metastasis-related markers is effective for timely detection of tumor bone metastases and the development of drugs to inhibit bone metastases. As a result, bone metastases can only be diagnosed when symptoms are found, increasing the risk of developing skeletal-related event (SREs), which significantly impairs the patient's quality of life. Therefore, the early diagnosis of bone metastases is of great importance for the treatment and prognosis of cancer patients. Changes of bone metabolism indexes appear earlier in bone metastases, but the traditional biochemical indexes of bone metabolism lack of specificity and could be interfered by many factors, which limits their application in the study of bone metastases. Some new biomarkers of bone metastases have good diagnostic value, such as proteins, ncRNAs, circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Therefore, this study mainly reviewed the initial diagnostic biomarkers of bone metastases which were expected to provide references for the early detection of bone metastases.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) causes deaths worldwide, ranking second after lung cancer. Bone metastasis (BM) frequently results from advanced PCa, affecting approximately 90% of patients, and it also often results in severe skeletal-related events. Traditional diagnostic methods for bone metastases, such as tissue biopsies and imaging, have substantial drawbacks. This article summarizes the significance of biomarkers in PCa accompanied with BM, including (1) bone formation markers like osteopontin (OPN), pro-collagen type I C-terminal pro-peptide (PICP), osteoprotegerin (OPG), pro-collagen type I N-terminal pro-peptide (PINP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OC); (2) bone resorption markers, including C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx), N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx), bone sialoprotein (BSP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP), deoxypyridinoline (D-PYD), pyridoxine (PYD), and C-terminal pyridinoline cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP); (3) prostate-specific antigen (PSA); (4) neuroendocrine markers, such as chromogranin A (CgA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and pro-gastrin releasing peptide (ProGRP); (5) liquid biopsy markers, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), microRNA (miRNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and exosomes. In summary, some of these markers are already in widespread clinical use, while others still require further laboratory or clinical studies to validate their value for clinical application.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex three-dimensional network of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans that constitutes an essential part of every tissue to provide support for normal tissue homeostasis. Tissue specificity of the ECM in its topology and structure supports unique biochemical and mechanical properties of each organ. Cancers, like normal tissues, require the ECM to maintain multiple processes governing tumor development, progression and spread. A large body of experimental and clinical evidence has now accumulated to demonstrate essential roles of numerous ECM components in all cancer types. Latest findings also suggest that multiple tumor types express, and use to their advantage, atypical ECM components that are not found in the cancer tissue of origin. However, the understanding of cancer-specific expression patterns of these ECM proteins and their exact roles in selected tumor types is still sketchy. In this review, we summarize the latest data on the aberrant expression of bone and cartilage ECM proteins in epithelial cancers and their specific functions in the pathogenesis of carcinomas and discuss future directions in exploring the utility of this selective group of ECM components as future drug targets.

[PMID: 36529680 DOI: 10.1002/cbdv.202200871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Seven benzophenanthridine alkaloids (1-7) were obtained from the 75 % EtOH extract of Eomecon chionantha, and exhibited moderate biological activity against MCF-7 cells. 8,12-dimethoxysanguinarine (1, DSG) strongly decreased the cell viability of MCF-7 cell lines with an IC50 value of 7.12 μΜ. Based on RNA-sequencing measure and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results, the significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were associated with Pathways in Cancer and PI3 K-AKT signaling pathways in DSG treated group. The potential molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying the effect of DSG induces necroptosis in MCF-7 cells via molecular docking, TEM analysis, and ROS measurement. Besides, DEGs of bone metastasis-related genes such as PI3 K, IGF1R, Notch, and Wnt mRNA were significantly downregulated in the DSG-treated group on MCF-7 cells. DSG might be selected as a bone metastasis proteins inhibitor of IL-1β, IL-6, IκBα, IGF1R, Notch, NF-κB, PTHrp, PI3 K, PKB/AKT, PTEN, TNF-α, and Wnt via molecular docking. DSG suppressed bone metastasis by regulating the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, PTH, CROSS, TP1NP, and OSTEOC on MCF-7 cells using ELISA measurement. Thus, our findings reveal that DSG could be a lead compound for suppressing tumor cells to bone metastasis in breast cancer cells.

Advanced 3D Magnetic Scaffolds for Tumor-Related Bone Defects. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232416190.

Abstract
The need for bone substitutes is a major challenge as the incidence of serious bone disorders is massively increasing, mainly attributed to modern world problems, such as obesity, aging of the global population, and cancer incidence. Bone cancer represents one of the most significant causes of bone defects, with reserved prognosis regarding the effectiveness of treatments and survival rate. Modern therapies, such as hyperthermia, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and magnetic therapy, seem to bring hope for cancer treatment in general, and bone cancer in particular. Mimicking the composition of bone to create advanced scaffolds, such as bone substitutes, proved to be insufficient for successful bone regeneration, and a special attention should be given to control the changes in the bone tissue micro-environment. The magnetic manipulation by an external field can be a promising technique to control this micro-environment, and to sustain the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, promoting the expression of some growth factors, and, finally, accelerating new bone formation. By incorporating stimuli responsive nanocarriers in the scaffold's architecture, such as magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with bioactive molecules, their behavior can be rigorously controlled under external magnetic driving, and stimulates the bone tissue formation.

Abstract
Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process that encompasses alterations in all aspects of the skin including the extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM consist of large structural proteins such as collagens and elastin as well as smaller proteins with mainly regulative properties called matricellular proteins. Matricellular proteins bind to structural proteins and their functions include but are not limited to interaction with cell surface receptors, cytokines, or protease and evoking a cellular response. The signaling initiated by matricellular proteins modulates differentiation and proliferation of cells having an impact on the tissue regeneration. In this review we give an overview of the matricellular proteins that have been found to be involved in cutaneous wound healing and summarize the information known to date about their functions in this process.

Abstract
Tissue injury can drive secondary organ injury; however, mechanisms and mediators are not well understood. To identify interorgan cross-talk mediators, we used acute kidney injury (AKI)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) as a clinically important example. Using kidney and lung single-cell RNA sequencing after AKI in mice followed by ligand-receptor pairing analysis across organs, kidney ligands to lung receptors, we identify kidney-released circulating osteopontin (OPN) as a novel AKI-ALI mediator. OPN release from kidney tubule cells triggered lung endothelial leakage, inflammation, and respiratory failure. Pharmacological or genetic OPN inhibition prevented AKI-ALI. Transplantation of ischemic wt kidneys caused AKI-ALI, but not of ischemic OPN-global knockout kidneys, identifying kidney-released OPN as necessary interorgan signal to cause AKI-ALI. We show that OPN serum levels are elevated in patients with AKI and correlate with kidney injury. Our results demonstrate feasibility of using ligand-receptor analysis across organs to identify interorgan cross-talk mediators and may have important therapeutic implications in human AKI-ALI and multiorgan failure.

Abstract
Homeostasis and health of multicellular organisms with multiple organs depends on interorgan communication. Tissue injury in one organ disturbs this homeostasis and can lead to disease in multiple organs, or multiorgan failure. Many routes of interorgan crosstalk during homeostasis are relatively well known, but interorgan crosstalk in disease still lacks understanding. In particular, how tissue injury in one organ can drive injury at remote sites and trigger multiorgan failure with high mortality is poorly understood. As examples, acute kidney injury can trigger acute lung injury and cardiovascular dysfunction; pneumonia, sepsis or liver failure conversely can cause kidney failure; lung transplantation very frequently triggers acute kidney injury. Mechanistically, interorgan crosstalk after tissue injury could involve soluble mediators and their target receptors, cellular mediators, in particular immune cells, as well as newly identified neuro-immune connections. In this review, I will focus the discussion of deleterious interorgan crosstalk and its mechanistic concepts on one example, acute kidney injury-induced remote lung injury.

Abstract
This study aimed to reveal the possible mechanisms by which O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) regulates osteoblast differentiation using a series of bioinformatics-oriented experiments. To examine the influence of O-GlcNAcylation levels on osteoblast differentiation, osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) inhibitors. Correlations between the levels of O-GlcNAcylation and the expression of osteogenic markers as well as OGT were evaluated by qPCR and western blotting. The O-GlcNAcylated proteins assumed to correlate with Runx2 expression were retrieved from several public databases and used for further bioinformatics analysis. Following the findings of the bioinformatics analysis, intracellular calcium ([Ca2+ ]i ) was monitored in the cells treated with OGT and OGA inhibitors using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (CLS). The interaction effect between O-GlcNAcylation and [Ca2+ ]i on osteogenic marker expression was determined using stable OGT knockdown MC3T3-E1 cells. O-GlcNAcylation was positively associated with osteoblast differentiation. The time-course profile of global O-GlcNAcylated proteins showed a distinctive pattern with different molecular weights during osteoblast differentiation. The expression pattern of several O-GlcNAcylated proteins was significantly similar to that of Runx2 expression. Bioinformatic analysis of the retrieved Runx2-related-O-GlcNAcylated-proteins revealed the importance of [Ca2+ ]i . CLS showed that alteration of O-GlcNAcylation rapidly changed [Ca2+ ]i in MC3T3-E1 cells. O-GlcNAcylation and [Ca2+ ]i showed an interaction effect on the expression of osteogenic markers. OGT knockdown disrupted the [Ca2+ ]i -induced expression changes of osteogenic markers. O-GlcNAcylation interacts with [Ca2+ ]i and elicits osteoblast differentiation by regulating the expression of osteogenic markers.

Abstract
Anticancer therapies mainly target primary tumor growth and little attention is given to the events driving metastasis formation. Metastatic prostate cancer, in comparison to localized disease, has a much worse prognosis. In the work presented here, groups of genes that are common to prostate cancer metastatic cells from bones, lymph nodes, and liver and those that are site-specific were delineated. The purpose of the study was to dissect potential markers and targets of anticancer therapies considering the common characteristics and differences in transcriptional programs of metastatic cells from different secondary sites. To that end, a meta-analysis of gene expression data of prostate cancer datasets from the GEO database was conducted. Genes with differential expression in all metastatic sites analyzed belong to the class of filaments, focal adhesion, and androgen receptor signaling. Bone metastases undergo the largest transcriptional changes that are highly enriched for the term of the chemokine signaling pathway, while lymph node metastasis show perturbation in signaling cascades. Liver metastases change the expression of genes in a way that is reminiscent of processes that take place in the target organ. Survival analysis for the common hub genes revealed involvements in prostate cancer prognosis and suggested potential biomarkers.

Abstract
Bone defects and periodontal disease are pathological conditions that may become neglected diseases if not treated properly. Hydroxyapatite (HA), along with tricalcium phosphate and bioglass ceramic, is a biomaterial widely applied to orthopedic and dental uses. The in vivo performance of HA is determined by the interaction between HA particles with bone cells, particularly the bone mineralizing cells osteoblasts. It has been reported that HA-induced osteoblastic differentiation by increasing the expression of osteogenic transcription factors. However, the pathway involved and the events that occur in the cell membrane have not been well understood and remain controversial. Advances in gene editing and the discovery of pharmacologic inhibitors assist researchers to better understand osteoblastic differentiation. This review summarizes the involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, Wnt, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) in osteoblastic cellular regulation induced by HA. These advances enhance the current understanding of the molecular mechanism of HA as a biomaterial. Moreover, they provide a better strategy for the design of HA to be utilized in bone engineering.

Abstract
Organ transplantation represents the optimal therapeutic tool for patients with end-stage organ failure. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is likewise an effective therapy for a wide range of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Better understanding of transplantation immunology and the use of multi-modal immunosuppression protocols, can decrease the risk of graft failure and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after HSCT. Nevertheless, a major challenge of modern transplantology still seems to be finding non-invasive biomarkers for recipients selection, monitoring of allograft function, and diagnosis of rejection. Since proinflammatory cytokine osteopontin (OPN) is closely involved in regulating both adaptive and innate immune responses, as well as the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, it is likely to play an important role in organ and HSC transplantation. This review is to summarize recent advances in our knowledge about OPN function in the kidney, heart, liver, lung, and HSC transplantation. Most studies found that elevated OPN is associated with poorer graft function in kidney, heart, liver and lung recipients. Moreover, some reports suggested that this protein can play role in GVHD pathogenesis. However, due to relatively small number of similar studies, as well as some inconclusive results, future investigation in this field is needed to verify if OPN can serve as a biomarker of organ and HSC transplantation. The knowledge about such markers will promote our understanding of the mechanisms underlying graft dysfunction and posttransplant mortality. In addition, such knowledge may be helpful in the development of new treatment strategies and identification of recipients with increased risk of allograft failure.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequently occurring digestive system cancer and postoperative tumor metastasis and recurrence are the main reasons for the failure of CRC treatment. The aim of this study was to identifying and validating key genes associated with metastatic recurrence of CRC. RNA expression of three datasets (GSE17538, GSE32323, and GSE29623) was used for biomarker discovery. We identified integrin-binding sialoprotein (IBSP) as a candidate biomarker which was validated in three clinical cohorts (GSE41258, GSE21510, and GSE39582) and our clinical specimens. The results suggested that IBSP expression significantly increased at mRNA and protein levels among CRC cases, which was associated with metastatic recurrence, metastasis, high risk of recurrence, and poor survival in CRC. Consistent results were obtained in CRC cells. The relative level of serum IBSP evidently increased among CRC patients relative to normal controls, and downregulated after operation. As suggested by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), the IBSP level was associated with cell-matrix adhesion in CRC. Functional experiments in vitro showed that IBSP promoted the growth and aggressiveness of CRC, and the potential mechanism by which IBSP promoted carcinogenesis of CRC was the abnormal activation of Fyn/β-catenin signaling pathway. To sum up, findings in the present work indicate that IBSP can serve as the candidate biomarker for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of CRC.

An Infection-Tolerant Mammalian Reservoir for Several Zoonotic Agents Broadly Counters the Inflammatory Effects of Endotoxin. mBio 2021; 12:e00588-21.

Abstract
Animals that are competent reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens commonly suffer little morbidity from the infections. To investigate mechanisms of this tolerance of infection, we used single-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an experimental model of inflammation and compared the responses of two rodents: Peromyscus leucopus, the white-footed deermouse and reservoir for the agents of Lyme disease and other zoonoses, and the house mouse Mus musculus Four hours after injection with LPS or saline, blood, spleen, and liver samples were collected and subjected to transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), metabolomics, and specific reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Differential expression analysis was at the gene, pathway, and network levels. LPS-treated deermice showed signs of sickness similar to those of exposed mice and had similar increases in corticosterone levels and expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor, IL-1β, and C-reactive protein. By network analysis, the M. musculus response to LPS was characterized as cytokine associated, while the P. leucopus response was dominated by neutrophil activity terms. In addition, dichotomies in the expression levels of arginase 1 and nitric oxide synthase 2 and of IL-10 and IL-12 were consistent with type M1 macrophage responses in mice and type M2 responses in deermice. Analysis of metabolites in plasma and RNA in organs revealed species differences in tryptophan metabolism. Two genes in particular signified the different phenotypes of deermice and mice: the Slpi and Ibsp genes. Key RNA-seq findings for P. leucopus were replicated in older animals, in a systemic bacterial infection, and with cultivated fibroblasts. The findings indicate that P. leucopus possesses several adaptive traits to moderate inflammation in its balancing of infection resistance and tolerance.IMPORTANCE Animals that are natural carriers of pathogens that cause human diseases commonly manifest little or no sickness as a consequence of infection. Examples include the deermouse, Peromyscus leucopus, which is a reservoir for Lyme disease and several other disease agents in North America, and some types of bats, which are carriers of viruses with pathogenicity for humans. Mechanisms of this phenomenon of infection tolerance and entailed trade-off costs are poorly understood. Using a single injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin as a proxy for infection, we found that deermice differed from the mouse (Mus musculus) in responses to LPS in several diverse pathways, including innate immunity, oxidative stress, and metabolism. Features distinguishing the deermice cumulatively would moderate downstream ill effects of LPS. Insights gained from the P. leucopus model in the laboratory have implications for studying infection tolerance in other important reservoir species, including bats and other types of wildlife.

Abstract
Prostate cancer osteoblastic bone metastases are incurable and associated with chronic bone pain and a high mortality rate. Osteoclast-targeting drugs intended to prevent skeletal-related events associated with prostate cancer bone metastases do not prolong overall survival. Improved understanding of the bone-derived factors that contribute to prostate cancer osteoblastic bone metastases is required to design treatments that will improve morbidities and overall survival. Activated osteoblasts stimulate prostate cancer growth in bone. In this study, we report that prostate cancer conditioned medium (CM) promoted bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2, -4 and -7 production and the expression of osteogenic transcription factors Runx2 and osterix in osteoblasts. Treating the prostate cancer CM with antibody against CCN3 (nephroblastoma-overexpressed), a cysteine-rich protein that belongs to the CCN family, reduced all of these increases. Incubation of osteoblasts with CCN3 facilitated phosphorylation of GSK3β and β-catenin. GSK3β and β-catenin inhibitors or siRNAs all abolished CCN3-induced promotion of BMPs, Runx2 and osterix expression in osteoblasts. Our results indicate that prostate cancer-secreted CCN3 enhances BMP, Runx2 and osterix expression in osteoblasts via the GSK3β and β-catenin signaling pathways. This understanding of the role played by CCN3 in osteoblastic prostate bone metastasis may lead to more efficient targeted therapies.

Abstract
Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to bone, causing osteolytic lesions. However, how factors secreted by primary tumors affect the bone microenvironment before the osteolytic phase of metastatic tumor growth remains unclear. Understanding these changes is critical as they may regulate metastatic dissemination and progression. To mimic premetastatic bone adaptation, immunocompromised mice were injected with MDA-MB-231-conditioned medium [tumor-conditioned media (TCM)]. Subsequently, the bones of these mice were subjected to multiscale, correlative analysis including RNA sequencing, histology, micro-computed tomography, x-ray scattering analysis, and Raman imaging. In contrast to overt metastasis causing osteolysis, TCM treatment induced new bone formation that was characterized by increased mineral apposition rate relative to control bones, altered bone quality with less matrix and more carbonate substitution, and the deposition of disoriented mineral near the growth plate. Our study suggests that breast cancer-secreted factors may promote perturbed bone growth before metastasis, which could affect initial seeding of tumor cells.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) has become the focus of interest in cancer research and treatment. It includes the extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-modifying enzymes that are secreted by cancer and neighboring cells. The ECM serves both to anchor the tumor cells embedded in it and as a means of communication between the various cellular and non-cellular components of the TME. The cells of the TME modify their surrounding cancer-characteristic ECM. This in turn provides feedback to them via cellular receptors, thereby regulating, together with cytokines and exosomes, differentiation processes as well as tumor progression and spread. Matrix remodeling is accomplished by altering the repertoire of ECM components and by biophysical changes in stiffness and tension caused by ECM-crosslinking and ECM-degrading enzymes, in particular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These can degrade ECM barriers or, by partial proteolysis, release soluble ECM fragments called matrikines, which influence cells inside and outside the TME. This review examines the changes in the ECM of the TME and the interaction between cells and the ECM, with a particular focus on MMPs.

Abstract
Background Osteomimicry of cancer cells had been widely reported in prostate cancer and breast cancer. However, the prognostic value of osteomimicry in various cancer types remained unclear. We hypothesized that osteomimicry would result in remodeling of the tumor microenvironment and was eligible to predict patient prognosis. Methods A comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of the osteomimicry, which was characterized by mRNA expression of SPARC, SPP1, and BGLAP, across 20 solid tumors (7564 patients) using RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was conducted. Samples of each cancer type were classified into subgroups (high vs. low) based on median value of osteomimetic markers, the associations of these markers with clinical outcomes, immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints expression were explored. Results Each osteomimetic marker harbored prognostic value in the pan-cancer analyses [SPARC: hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, p = 0.028; SPP1: HR = 1.25, p < 0.001; BGLAP: HR = 1.13, p = 0.005]. Patients with high expression of all the three genes also had significantly unfavorable survival (HR = 1.61, p < 0.0001) compared with those of low expression. Correlation analyses demonstrated that osteomimicry was closely related to tumor purity, dendritic cells (DC) infiltration and expression of immune checkpoints. Conclusion Osteomimicry had prognostic value in various cancer types and the underlying mechanism might correlate to the trapping and dysfunction of DCs in the tumor microenvironment, revealing the potential of osteomimicry as a target of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone neoplasm in dogs and often involves the appendicular skeleton. We report the clinicopathological and prognostic features of appendicular osteosarcomas diagnosed in 153 dogs from 2008 to 2018. The survival data for 22 dogs that underwent surgery and chemotherapy were statistically compared with the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical data for correlation with prognosis. The affected dogs had a mean age of 9.1 years and a mean body weight of 33.4 kg. No sex predilection was detected, although the incidence was slightly higher in females (52%). Large mixed and purebred dogs were most commonly affected. Long bones were affected in 124 cases (92.5%; 124/134). The extremities affected within long bones were the metaphysis of the proximal humerus (29%), distal radius (17.7%), distal femur (15.3%) and proximal tibia (7.2%). Histologically, osteoblastic osteosarcoma was most commonly detected (56.9%), followed by chondroblastic (13.7%), telangiectatic (11.8%), fibroblastic (7.8%), giant cell-rich (5.2%) and poorly differentiated neoplasms (4.6%). Regional lymph nodes were available for analysis in 28 out of 70 excisional biopsies from amputated entire limbs. Metastases to regional lymph nodes were observed in 14.3% (4/28) of these cases. Distant metastases were found in 75% (39/52) of cases in which diagnostic imaging or necropsy was carried out. The lungs were the most common site of metastasis (87.2%; 34/39 cases). Weight, age, sex, affected limb or bone, histological classification, mitotic count or histological grade did not influence survival (P >0.05). Neoplasms located at proximal extremities (n = 7) of affected limbs had a tendency for a poorer prognosis than those at distal extremities (n = 15) (P = 0.06). For these cases, the 1-year survival rate was 14.3% compared with 40% for neoplasms at distal extremities. There was no significant difference in the survival rate when amputation (n = 16) or limb preservation (n = 6) techniques were employed with chemotherapy (P = 0.20). The survival period of dogs that had undergone limb amputation, or limb preservation surgery, and chemotherapy was 73-1,185 days, with a mean and median of 376 and 256 days, respectively. Mild to marked cytoplasmic immunolabelling of osteopontin was found in all cases but the intensity (P = 0.66) and percentage of neoplastic cells labelled (P = 0.49) did not influence survival.

Abstract
Bone is a frequent site of metastases in many cancers. Both bone properties and the tumor-intrinsic traits are associated with the metastatic propensity to bone (i.e., the bone tropism). Whereas an increasing body of mechanistic studies expanded our understanding on bone tropism, they also revealed complexity across the bone lesions originated from different cancer types. In this review, we will discuss the physical, chemical, and biological properties of bone microenvironment, identify potential players in every stage of bone metastases, and introduce some of the known mechanisms regulating the bone colonization. Our objectives are to integrate the knowledge established in different biological contexts and highlight the determinants of bone tropism.

Abstract
Background Bone metastases-induced skeletal complications result in reduced patient survival, lower quality of life, and an increase in healthcare costs. Previously, zoledronic acid (ZA) was the standard choice of treatment for bone metastases, but another drug, denosumab, has also shown promise. However, the clinical utility of these two drugs requires further exploration. Aim of the review Due to the lack of direct comparisons regarding the efficacy of these drugs in both solid tumors and multiple myeloma (MM), we herein tried to conduct a meta-analysis to compare their efficacy in parallel for bone metastases treatment in both solid tumor and MM patients. Methods Multiple databases including Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported up to March 2019 directly comparing denosumab with ZA in solid tumors and MM. Information about the following events was primarily searched: time to first on-study skeletal-related event (SRE), time to first and subsequent SREs, and overall survival. Information about secondary outcomes including disease progression, pain, health-related quality of life, and adverse events was also recorded. Results Overall, we analyzed data from four distinct RCTs including 7441 patients, and our analysis revealed that patients in the denosumab group had a significantly delayed incidence to the first and subsequent SREs. In addition, denosumab resulted in a higher incidence of hypocalcemia and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), and a lower incidence of renal toxicity and acute phase reactions, in comparison to ZA. Conclusion Overall, denosumab showed superiority in delaying the first and subsequent SREs, and hence seems to be a promising choice for managing bone metastases in both solid tumors and MM. However, it can induce a higher incidence of ONJ and hypocalcaemia, but these are preventable and manageable effects.

Abstract
There is great demand for an improved barrier membrane with osteogenic potential for guided bone regeneration (GBR). Natural acellular porcine pericardium (APP) is increasingly used in regenerative medicine as a kind of common extracellular matrix materials. This study aimed to investigate its potential application in GBR, especially its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Bio-Gide (BG), a commercial collagen membrane, was set as the control group. APP samples were characterized by physicochemical analyses and their biological effects on human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) were also examined. Additionally, the osteogenic potential of APP was tested on a bilateral critical-sized calvarial defect model. We discovered that the smooth surface of APP tended to recruit more hBMSCs. Moreover, promoted proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs was detected on this side of APP, with increased alkaline phosphatase activity and upregulated expression of bone-specific genes. Besides, the rough side of APP showed good biocompatibility and barrier function with hGFs. Histologic observation and analysis of calvarial defect healing over 4 weeks revealed enhanced bone regeneration under APP compared with BG and the control group. The results of this study indicate that APP is a potential osteoconductive and osteoinductive biomaterial for GBR.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis represents the common end-stage of chronic liver diseases regardless of its etiology. Patients with compensated disease are mostly asymptomatic, however, progression to a decompensated disease stage is common. The available stratification strategies are often unsuitable to identify patients with a higher risk for disease progression and a limited prognosis. SIBLINGs, soluble glycophosphoproteins, are secreted into the blood by immune-cells. While osteopontin, the most prominent member of the SIBLINGs family, has been repeatedly associated with liver cirrhosis, data on the diagnostic and/or prognostic value of bone sialoprotein (BSP) are scarce and partly inconclusive. In this study, we analyzed the diagnostic and prognostic potential of circulating BSP in comparison to other standard laboratory markers in a large cohort of patients with liver cirrhosis receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Serum levels of BSP were similar in patients with different disease stages and were not indicative for prognosis. Interestingly, BSP serum levels did correlate inversely with portal pressure, as well as its surrogates such as platelet count, the portal vein cross-sectional area and correlated positively with the portal venous velocity. In summary, our data highlight that BSP might represent a previously unrecognized marker for portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Nanocomposite scaffold materials have shown great prospect in promoting bone integration and bone regeneration. A three-dimensional graphene oxide foam/polydimethylsiloxane/zinc silicate (GF/PDMS/ZS) scaffold for bone tissue engineering was synthesized via dip coating and hydrothermal synthesis processes, resulting in the interconnected macroporous structure. The scaffold was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The result showed that scaffolds exhibiting a porous characteristic had organic-inorganic components similar to natural bone tissue. Moreover, the scaffolds possessed suitable pore size, high porosity, and good mechanical properties. In vitro experiments with mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) revealed that the composite scaffold not only has great biocompatibility but also has the ability to induce mBMSC proliferation and preferential osteogentic differentiation. Thereafter, the expression of critical genes, ALP, RUNX2, VEGFA, and OPN, was activated. In vivo analysis of critical bone defect in rabbits demonstrated superior bone formation in defect sites in the GF/PDMS/ZS scaffold group at 12 weeks of post implantation without no significant inflammatory response. All the results validated that the GF/PDMS/ZS scaffold is a promising alternative for applications in bone regeneration.

A Potential Role of RUNX2- RUNT Domain in Modulating the Expression of Genes Involved in Bone Metastases: An In Vitro Study with Melanoma Cells. Cells 2020; 9:cells9030751. [PMID: 32204402 PMCID: PMC7140624 DOI: 10.3390/cells9030751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Revised: 03/11/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Ectopic expression of RUNX2 has been reported in several tumors. In melanoma cells, the RUNT domain of RUNX2 increases cell proliferation and migration. Due to the strong link between RUNX2 and skeletal development, we hypothesized that the RUNT domain may be involved in the modulation of mechanisms associated with melanoma bone metastasis. Therefore, we evaluated the expression of metastatic targets in wild type (WT) and RUNT KO melanoma cells by array and real-time PCR analyses. Western blot, ELISA, immunofluorescence, migration and invasion ability assays were also performed. Our findings showed that the expression levels of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (SPP1) genes, which are involved in malignancy-induced hypercalcemia, were reduced in RUNT KO cells. In addition, released PTHrP levels were lower in RUNT KO cells than in WT cells. The RUNT domain also contributes to increased osteotropism and bone invasion in melanoma cells. Importantly, we found that the ERK/p-ERK and AKT/p-AKT pathways are involved in RUNT-promoted bone metastases. On the basis of our findings, we concluded that the RUNX2 RUNT domain is involved in the mechanisms promoting bone metastasis of melanoma cells via complex interactions between multiple players involved in bone remodeling.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding cells is indispensable for regulating their behavior. The dynamics of ECM signaling are tightly controlled throughout growth and development. During tissue remodeling, matricellular proteins (MCP) are secreted into the ECM. These factors do not serve classical structural roles, but rather regulate matrix proteins and cell-matrix interactions to influence normal cellular functions. In the tumor microenvironment, it is becoming increasingly clear that aberrantly expressed MCPs can support multiple hallmarks of carcinogenesis by interacting with various cellular components that are coupled to an array of downstream signals. Moreover, MCPs also reorganize the biomechanical properties of the ECM to accommodate metastasis and tumor colonization. This realization is stimulating new research on MCPs as reliable and accessible biomarkers in cancer, as well as effective and selective therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been known for close to a century that, on average, tumors have a metabolism that is different from those found in healthy tissues. Typically, tumors show a biosynthetic metabolism that distinguishes itself by engaging in large scale aerobic glycolysis, heightened flux through the pentose phosphate pathway, and increased glutaminolysis among other means. However, it is becoming equally clear that non tumorous tissues at times can engage in similar metabolism, while tumors show a high degree of metabolic flexibility reacting to cues, and stresses in their local environment. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW In this review, we want to scrutinize historic and recent research on metabolism, comparing and contrasting oncogenic and physiological metabolic states. This will allow us to better define states of bona fide tumor metabolism. We will further contextualize the stress response and the metabolic evolutionary trajectory seen in tumors, and how these contribute to tumor progression. Lastly, we will analyze the implications of these characteristics with respect to therapy response. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS In our review, we argue that there is not one single oncogenic state, but rather a diverse set of oncogenic states. These are grounded on a physiological proliferative/wound healing program but distinguish themselves due to their large scale of proliferation, mutations, and transcriptional changes in key metabolic pathways, and the adaptations to widespread stress signals within tumors. We find evidence for the necessity of metabolic flexibility and stress responses in tumor progression and how these responses in turn shape oncogenic progression. Lastly, we find evidence for the notion that the metabolic adaptability of tumors frequently frustrates therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, the most common chronic metabolic bone disease, is characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. Nowadays more than 200 million individuals are suffering from osteoporosis and still the number of affected people is dramatically increasing due to an aging population and longer life, representing a major public health problem. Current osteoporosis treatments are mainly designed to decrease bone resorption, presenting serious adverse effects that limit their safety for long-term use. Numerous studies with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have helped to increase the knowledge regarding the mechanisms that underlie the progression of osteoporosis. Emerging clinical and molecular evidence suggests that inflammation exerts a significant influence on bone turnover, thereby on osteoporosis. In this regard, MSCs have proven to possess broad immunoregulatory capabilities, modulating both adaptive and innate immunity. Here, we will discuss the role that MSCs play in the etiopathology of osteoporosis and their potential use for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted phosphoprotein, is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family of cell matrix proteins and participates in many biological activities. Studies have shown that OPN plays a role in bone metabolism and homeostasis. OPN not only is an important factor in neuron-mediated and endocrine-regulated bone mass, but also is involved in biological activities such as proliferation, migration, and adhesion of several bone-related cells, including bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, osteoclasts, and osteoblasts. OPN has been demonstrated to be closely related to the occurrence and development of many bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteosarcoma. As expected, the functions of OPN in the bone have become a research hotspot. In this article, we try to decipher the mechanism of OPN-regulated bone metabolism and bone diseases.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which is characterized by invasiveness and poor prognosis, is the sixth most common leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite advances in multimodality therapy, ESCC mortality remains high, and an understanding of the molecular changes that lead to ESCC development and progression remains limited. In the present study, Integrin Binding Sialoprotein (IBSP) upregulation was found in 182 of 269 (67.7%) primary ESCC cells at the mRNA level by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Additionally, IHC staining further demonstrated that IBSP was upregulated in ESCC patients and IBSP protein upregulation was significantly related to the lymph node metastasis (P = 0.017), clinicopathologic stage (P = 0.001) and poor disease survival (P = 0.002). Moreover, functional studies illustrated that the IBSP gene can promote the proliferation and metastasis of ESCC cells. Furthermore, IBSP was found to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which promotes tumor cell metastasis. In conclusion, our study suggests that IBSP may be a valuable prognostic marker for ESCC patients.

Abstract
As a health-care food and traditional Chinese medicine, E'jiao, from the skin of Equus animus L, has been used to nourish blood in China for more than 2000 years. In modern medicine, there are also evidences indicate it has a beneficial effect on chemotherapy-caused blood deficiency. However, its mechanism of action for blood invigoration remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the hematopoietic effect of E'jiao in 5-Fluorouracil-treated mice. In addition to the counting of bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNCs), flow cytometry was used to detect the population of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and colony-forming unit (CFU) was used to assay the differentiation ability of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). Gene expression profiles of bone marrow cells were obtained from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed with an emphasis on hematopoiesis-related pathways. The results show that E'jiao promotes the proliferation of both BMNCs and HSCs, as well as the differentiation of HPCs. By providing a hematopoiesis-related molecular regulatory network of E'jiao, we point out that the mechanism of E'jiao is associated with pathways including ECM-receptor interaction, Wnt signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, Hematopoietic cell lineage and Osteoclast differentiation, in which Ibsp, Col1a1, Col1a2, Notum, Sost, Dkk1, Irx5, Irx3 and Dcn are the key regulatory molecules. These findings provide valuable molecular basis for the mechanism of action of E'jiao.

Abstract
Bone is a preferential site for cancer metastases, including multiple myeloma, prostate, and breast cancers.The composition of bone, especially the extracellular matrix (ECM), make it an attractive site for cancer cell colonization and survival. The bone ECM is composed of living cells embedded within a matrix composed of both organic and inorganic components. Among the organic components, type I collagen provides the tensile strength of bone. Inorganic components, including hydroxyapatite crystals, are an integral component of bone and provide bone with its rigidity. Under normal circumstances, two of the main cell types in bone, the osteoblasts and osteoclasts, help to maintain bone homeostasis and remodeling through cellular communication and response to biophysical signals from the ECM. However, under pathological conditions, including osteoporosis and cancer, bone remodeling is dysregulated. Once in the bone matrix, disseminated tumor cells utilize normal products of bone remodeling, such as collagen type I, to fuel cancer cell proliferation and lesion outgrowth. Models to study the complex interactions between the bone matrix and metastatic cancer cells are limited. Advances in understanding the interactions between the bone ECM and bone metastatic cancer cells are necessary in order to both regulate and prevent metastatic cancer cell growth in bone.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and berberine hydrochloride (BBR) on the osteogenic differentiation ability of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in vitro, and their underlying mechanisms. hPDLSCs were subjected to osteogenic induction and were treated with AGEs or AGEs + BBR. Following varying numbers of days in culture, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assays, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, ELISAs, and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and western blot analyses were performed to determine the osteogenic differentiation ability of hPDLSCs; RT‑qPCR, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms. The canonical Wnt/β‑catenin pathway inhibitor XAV‑939 and agonist CHIR‑99021 were used to determine the contribution of the canonical Wnt/β‑catenin pathway to differentiation. Treatment with AGEs resulted in reduced ALP activity and Collagen I protein levels, decreased ALP staining, fewer mineralized nodules, and downregulated expression of osteogenic‑specific genes [Runt‑related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix, ALP, osteopontin (OPN), Collagen I and osteocalcin (OCN)] and proteins (Runx2, OPN, BSP and OCN); however, BBR partially rescued the AGE‑induced decrease in the osteogenic potential of hPDLSCs. Furthermore, AGEs activated the canonical Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway and promoted the nuclear translocation of β‑catenin; BBR partially attenuated this effect. In addition, XAV‑939 partially rescued the AGE‑induced reduction in the osteogenic potential of hPDLSCs, whereas CHIR‑99021 suppressed the BBR‑induced increase in the osteogenic potential of hPDLSCs. The present study indicated that AGEs attenuated the osteogenic differentiation ability of hPDLSCs, in part by activating the canonical Wnt/β‑catenin pathway; however, BBR attenuated these effects by inhibiting the canonical Wnt/β‑catenin pathway. These findings suggest a role for BBR in periodontal regeneration induced by hPDLSCs in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Bone is the most common site of prostate cancer (PC) metastasis. Studies suggest that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are associated with stemness characteristics, providing some support for the concept that CSCs act as osteosclerotic precursors in bone microenvironmental niches. Here, we asked whether ectopic overexpression of CD133 maintains stability of CSCs in human PC cell lines and induces the changes of molecular features in the bone microenvironment. Ectopic overexpression of CD133 in PC3 or DU145 cells led to increased expression of ALDHA1, OCT4, and NANOG, enhanced colony‐forming ability, and increased ALDH activity. In addition, micro‐CT imaging, confocal microscopy, and H&E staining of mouse tissue confirmed that CD133 overexpression in PC3 and DU145 led to marked osteolytic bone tumor. However, expression of osteoblastic markers such as collagen type I, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin (OC) at the tumor margin of CD133‐overexpressing PC3 tumors in mouse tibiae was higher than that of CD133‐overexpressing DU145 tumors with osteosclerotic molecular features. In addition, expression of osteopontin (OPN) mRNA/protein by CD133‐overexpressing PC3 cells was higher than that by DU145 cells. Especially, conditioned medium (CM) from PC3CD133+ cells increased osterix (OSX) activity in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), resulting in increased expression of OC mRNA/protein resulted in increased staining of mineralized matrix by Alizarin red. However, CM from OPN silenced PC3CD133+ cells led to a reduction of OC mRNA and protein expression through OSX activity resulted in reduced amount of mineralized matrix. In conclusion, these findings suggest that CD133 plays a functional role in regulating CSC characteristics in PCs and modulates their abilities in which induce the osteosclerosis of BMSCs. In addition, OPN from CSCs acts as a niche component that promotes osteosclerosis by supporting osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs. © 2019 The Authors JBMR Plus published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Vertebral metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are frequently diagnosed in the metastatic setting and are commonly identified in the thoracic vertebrae in patients. Treatment of NSCLC bone metastases, which are often multiple, is palliative, and the median survival times are 3 to 6 months. We have characterized spontaneous vertebral metastases in a brain metastases model of NSCLC and correlated these findings with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Brain metastases were established in athymic nude mice following intracardiac injection of brain-seeking adenocarcinoma NSCLC cells. Thirty-nine percent of mice (14/36) developed spontaneous vertebral metastases, spinal cord compression, and hind-limb paralysis. Vertebral metastases consisted of an adenocarcinoma phenotype with neoplastic epithelial cells arranged in cords or acini and a mesenchymal phenotype with spindloid neoplastic cells arranged in bundles and streams. Quantitative and qualitative immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated an increase in vimentin expression compared to cytokeratin expression in vertebral metastases. A correlation with EMT was supported by an increase in CD44 in vertebral metastases and parenchymal metastases. These data demonstrate a translational lung cancer metastasis model with spontaneous vertebral metastasis. The mesenchymal and epithelial phenotype of these spontaneous metastases coupled with EMT provide a conduit to improve drug delivery and overall patient survival.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are versatile cells involved in multiple whole-body processes, including bone formation and immune response. Secretory amounts and patterns of osteoblast-derived proteins such as osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) modulate osteoblast function. However, the regulatory mechanism of OPN and OCN expression remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that p54/p46 c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibition suppresses matrix mineralization and OCN expression but increases OPN expression in MC3T3-E1 cells and primary osteoblasts treated with differentiation inducers, including ascorbic acid, bone morphogenic protein-2, or fibroblast growth factor 2. Preinhibition of JNK before the onset of differentiation increased the number of osteoblasts that highly express OPN but not OCN (OPN-OBs), indicating that JNK affects OPN secretory phenotype at the early stage of osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, we identified JNK2 isoform as being critically involved in OPN-OB differentiation. Microarray analysis revealed that OPN-OBs express characteristic transcription factors, cell surface markers, and cytokines, including glycoprotein hormone α2 and endothelial cell-specific molecule 1. Moreover, we found that inhibitor of DNA binding 4 is an important regulator of OPN-OB differentiation and that dual-specificity phosphatase 16, a JNK-specific phosphatase, functions as an endogenous regulator of OPN-OB induction. OPN-OB phenotype was also observed following LPS from Porphyromonas gingivalis stimulation during osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, these results suggest that the JNK-Id4 signaling axis is crucial in the control of OPN and OCN expression during osteoblastic differentiation.-Kusuyama, J., Amir, M. S., Albertson, B.

Abstract
Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) still face a very limited prognosis. At early stage, surgical tumor resection might offer long-term survival but disease recurrence is common and the existing stratification algorithms are often unsuitable to identify patients who particularly benefit from surgery. Here, we investigated the potential role of bone sialoprotein (BSP) as a circulating marker in patients undergoing resection of PDAC. We used ELISA to determine serum concentrations of BSP in a cohort of 132 PDAC patients as well as 39 healthy controls. Circulating BSP levels were significantly higher in PDAC patients compared to healthy controls. Notably, elevated preoperative BSP levels above the ideal cut-off value of 4743 pg/ml turned out as a significant predictor for an impaired postoperative survival. The potential of preoperative BSP levels as a prognostic marker was further underlined by uni- and multivariate Cox-regression analyses including various tumour- and patient-specific. Finally, high tumoral BSP expression was also associated with a significantly impaired long-term survival. In conclusion, we identified a novel role of circulating BSP as a biomarker in PDAC patients undergoing tumor resection. Such data might help to establish new preoperative stratification strategies to better identify patients who particularly benefit from tumor resection.

Abstract
Metastasis to bones is determined by both intrinsic traits of metastatic tumor cells and properties appertaining to the bone microenvironment. Bone marrow niches are critical for all major steps of metastasis, including the seeding of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) to bone, the survival of DTCs and microscopic metastases under dormancy, and the eventual outgrowth of overt metastases. In this review, we discuss the role of bone marrow niches in bone colonization. The emphasis is on complicated and dynamic nature of cancer cells-niche interaction, which may underpin the long-standing mystery of metastasis dormancy, and represent a therapeutic target for elimination of minimal residue diseases and prevention of life-taking, overt metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopontin (OPN) is a pleiotropic glycoprotein expressed in various cell types in animals and in humans, including bone, immune, smooth muscle, epithelial and endothelial cells. Moreover, OPN is found in kidneys (in the thick ascending limbs of the loop of Henle and in distal nephrons) and urine. The protein plays an important role in mineralization and bone resorption. In addition, OPN is involved in the regulation of immunity and inflammation, angiogenesis and apoptosis. It was demonstrated that OPN and some OPN gene polymorphic variants are associated with the pathogenesis and progression of multiple disorders, such as cancer, autoimmune, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, recent studies suggested that OPN is associated with the pathogenesis of renal failure. METHODS In this review, I briefly discussed the role of OPN and its gene polymorphisms in kidney physiology, as well as in various kidney diseases. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION Most studies reported that OPN expression is elevated in urolithiasis, and also in acute and chronic kidney diseases, and in renal allograft dysfunction. Moreover, it was demonstrated that polymorphic variants of the OPN gene may be associated with renal failure. However, some reports suggested that OPN is essential for tubulogenesis, and that it inhibits calcium oxalate crystal formation and retention, nitric oxide synthesis, cell apoptosis and promotes cell regeneration. Thus, further studies are required to fully understand the role of OPN in kidney physiology and pathology. Eventually, these studies may result in the identification of OPN as a valuable marker for renal dysfunction prognosis and treatment.

Abstract
Prostate cancers have a strong propensity to metastasize to bone and promote osteoblastic lesions. TMPRSS2:ERG is the most frequent gene rearrangement identified in prostate cancer, but whether it is involved in prostate cancer bone metastases is largely unknown. We exploited an intratibial metastasis model to address this issue and we found that ectopic expression of the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion enhances the ability of prostate cancer cell lines to induce osteoblastic lesions by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting the osteolytic response. In line with these in vivo results, we demonstrate that the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion protein increases the expression of osteoblastic markers, including Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain and Alkaline Phosphatase, as well as Endothelin-1, a protein with a documented role in osteoblastic bone lesion formation. Moreover, we determined that the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion protein is bound to the regulatory regions of these genes in prostate cancer cell lines, and we report that the expression levels of these osteoblastic markers are correlated with the expression of the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion in patient metastasis samples. Taken together, our results reveal that the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion is involved in osteoblastic lesion formation induced by prostate cancer cells.

Differential Proteomic Analysis Predicts Appropriate Applications for the Secretome of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Dermal Fibroblasts. Stem Cells Int 2018; 2018:7309031.

Abstract
The adult stem cell secretome is currently under investigation as an alternative to cell-based therapy in regenerative medicine, thanks to the remarkable translational opportunity and the advantages in terms of handling and safety. In this perspective, we recently demonstrated the efficient performance of the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (ASC) secretome in contrasting neuroinflammation in a murine model of diabetic neuropathy, where the administration of factors released by dermal fibroblasts (DFs) did not exert any effect. Up to now, the complex mixture of the constituents of the conditioned medium from ASCs has not been fully deepened, although its appropriate characterization is required in the perspective of a clinical use. Herein, we propose the differential proteomic approach for the identification of the players accounting for the functional effects of the cell secretome with the aim to unravel its appropriate applications. Out of 967 quantified proteins, 34 and 62 factors were found preponderantly or exclusively secreted by ASCs and DFs, respectively. This approach led to the recognition of distinct functions related to the conditioned medium of ASCs and DFs, with the former being involved in the regulation of neuronal death and apoptosis and the latter in bone metabolism and ossification. The proosteogenic effect of DF secretome was validated in vitro on human primary osteoblasts, providing a proof of concept of its osteoinductive potential. Besides discovering new applications of the cell type-specific secretome, the proposed strategy could allow the recognition of the cocktail of bioactive factors which might be responsible for the effects of conditioned media, thus providing a solid rationale to the implementation of a cell-free approach in several clinical scenarios involving tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The rupture of atherosclerotic plaque provokes the majority of acute cerebrovascular events. Studies have demonstrated that various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may promote atherosclerotic plaque progression and rupture. However, results have been incongruous and the mechanisms of this remain obscured. Therefore, in the current study, carotid plaques were characterized by assessing the levels of MMPs and calcification factors, and evaluating their association with plaque vulnerability. Human carotid plaques were obtained from carotid endarterectomies, and classified into stable and vulnerable groups by ultrasonography and histological analyses. The mRNA and protein levels of MMPs, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bone sialoprotein 2 (BSP) and osteopontin were investigated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize MMP-2 and MMP-14 in stable and vulnerable plaques. The activation of various associated signaling pathways was also investigated using western blotting. The mRNA levels of MMP-2, -7, -9 and -14 were elevated in vulnerable plaques, among which expression of MMP-2 and -14 were the highest. Consistent with the mRNA levels, the protein levels of MMP-2 and -14 were also elevated. Immunohistochemistry also demonstrated positive staining of MMP-2 and MMP-14 in vulnerable plaques. Factors that indicate neovascularization and calcification, including VEGF and BSP, were concurrently elevated in vulnerable plaques. In addition, the protein levels of extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and protein kinase C (PKC) were upregulated in vulnerable plaques. The current study provides novel insights into the MMP profiles of vulnerability plaques, and may assist in the development of novel methods for the diagnosis of plaque vulnerability and the prevention of plaque rupture.
