[PMID: 38795835 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167251] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Exposure of articular cartilage to excessive mechanical loading is closely related to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the exact molecular mechanism by which excessive mechanical loading drives OA remains unclear. In vitro, primary chondrocytes were exposed to cyclic tensile strain at 0.5 Hz and 10 % elongation for 30 min to simulate excessive mechanical loading in OA. In vivo experiments involved mice undergoing anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) to model OA, followed by interventions on Rcn2 expression through adeno-associated virus (AAV) injection and tamoxifen-induced gene deletion. 10 μL AAV2/5 containing AAV-Rcn2 or AAV-shRcn2 was administered to the mice by articular injection at 1 week post ACLT surgery, and Col2a1-creERT: Rcn2flox/flox mice were injected with tamoxifen intraperitoneally to obtain Rcn2-conditional knockout mice. Finally, we explored the mechanism of Rcn2 affecting OA. Here, we identified reticulocalbin-2 (Rcn2) as a mechanosensitive factor in chondrocytes, which was significantly elevated in chondrocytes under mechanical overloading. PIEZO type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo1) is a critical mechanosensitive ion channel, which mediates the effect of mechanical loading on chondrocytes, and we found that increased Rcn2 could be suppressed through knocking down Piezo1 under excessive mechanical loading. Furthermore, chondrocyte-specific deletion of Rcn2 in adult mice alleviated OA progression in the mice receiving the surgery of ACLT. On the contrary, articular injection of Rcn2-expressing adeno-associated virus (AAV) accelerated the progression of ACLT-induced OA in mice. Mechanistically, Rcn2 accelerated the progression of OA through promoting the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The core clock gene brain and muscle ARNT like-1 (Bmal1) is involved in the regulation of bone tissue aging. However, current studies are mostly limited to the establishment of the association between Bmal1 and bone senescence, without in-depth exploration of its main upstream and downstream regulatory mechanisms. METHODS The luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the interaction between miR-155-5p and Bmal1. The effects of miR-155-5p and Bmal1 on the aging and osteogenic differentiation ability of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were investigated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry, β-gal staining, alkaline phosphatase quantitative assay and alizarin red staining in vitro. The potential molecular mechanism was identified by ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq database analysis and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The expression of Bmal1 declined with age, while the miR-155-5p was increased. miR-155-5p and Bmal1 repressed each other's expression, and miR-155-5p targeted the Bmal1. Besides, miR-155-5p inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, promoted cell apoptosis and senescence, inhibited the expression and nuclear translocation of YAP and TAZ. However, Bmal1 facilitated the osteogenic differentiation and suppressed the aging of BMSCs, meanwhile inactivated the Hippo pathway. Moreover, YAP inhibitors abrogated the positive regulation of aging and osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs by miR-155-5p and Bmal1. CONCLUSION In mouse BMSCs, miR-155-5p and Bmal1 regulated the aging and osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs mainly through the Hippo signaling pathway. Our findings provide new insights for the interventions in bone aging.

Abstract
Calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a major non-rheumatic heart valve disease in the world, with a high mortality rate and without suitable pharmaceutical therapy due to its complex mechanisms. Src-associated in mitosis 68-KD (Sam68), an RNA binding protein, has been reported as a signaling adaptor in numerous signaling pathways (Huot in Mol Cell Biol, 29(7), 1933-1943, 2009), particularly in inflammatory signaling pathways. The effects of Sam68 on the osteogenic differentiation process of hVICs and its regulation on signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway have been investigated in this study. Human aortic valve samples detection found that Sam68 expression was up-regulated in human calcific aortic valves. We used tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) as an activator for osteogenic differentiation in vitro and the result indicated that Sam68 was highly expressed after TNF-α stimulation. Overexpression of Sam68 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hVICs while Sam68 knockdown reversed this effect. Sam68 interaction with STAT3 was predicted by using String database and was verified in this study. Sam68 knockdown reduced phosphorylation of STAT3 activated by TNF-α and the downstream gene expression, which further influenced autophagy flux in hVICs. STAT3 knockdown alleviated the osteogenic differentiation and calcium deposition promoted by Sam68 overexpression. In conclusion, Sam68 interacts with STAT3 and participates in its phosphorylation to promote osteogenic differentiation of hVICs to induce valve calcification. Thus, Sam68 may be a new therapeutic target for CAVD. Regulatory of Sam68 in TNF-α/STAT3/Autophagy Axis in promoting osteogenesis of hVICs.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2023; 80:144.

Abstract
Alterations in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) phenotype play a critical role in the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and restenosis after angioplasty. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs (approximately 19-25 nucleotides in length) that function as regulators in various physiological and pathophysiological events. Recent studies have suggested that aberrant miRNAs' expression might underlie VSMC phenotypic transformation, appearing to regulate the phenotypic transformations of VSMCs by targeting specific genes that either participate in the maintenance of the contractile phenotype or contribute to the transformation to alternate phenotypes, and affecting atherosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary artery disease by altering VSMC proliferation, migration, differentiation, inflammation, calcification, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, suggesting an important regulatory role in vascular remodeling for maintaining vascular homeostasis. This review outlines recent progress in the discovery of miRNAs and elucidation of their mechanisms of action and functions in VSMC phenotypic regulation. Importantly, as the literature supports roles for miRNAs in modulating vascular remodeling and for maintaining vascular homeostasis, this area of research will likely provide new insights into clinical diagnosis and prognosis and ultimately facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Arterial occlusive disease is the leading cause of death in Western countries. Core contemporary therapies for this disease include angioplasties, stents, endarterectomies and bypass surgery. However, these treatments suffer from high failure rates due to re-occlusive vascular wall adaptations and restenosis. Restenosis following vascular surgery is largely due to intimal hyperplasia. Intimal hyperplasia develops in response to vessel injury, leading to inflammation, vascular smooth muscle cells dedifferentiation, migration, proliferation and secretion of extra-cellular matrix into the vessel's innermost layer or intima. In this review, we describe the current state of knowledge on the origin and mechanisms underlying the dysregulated proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in intimal hyperplasia, and we present the new avenues of research targeting VSMC phenotype and proliferation.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is recognized as a pathological vascular disorder associated with various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, aortic valve stenosis, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, as well as chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it is a life-threatening state for human health. There were several studies targeting mechanisms of VC that revealed the importance of vascular smooth muscle cells transdifferentiating, phosphorous and calcium milieu, as well as matrix vesicles on the progress of VC. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of VC need to be elucidated. Though there is no acknowledged effective therapeutic strategy to reverse or cure VC clinically, recent evidence has proved that VC is not a passive irreversible comorbidity but an active process regulated by many factors. Some available approaches targeting the underlying molecular mechanism provide promising prospects for the therapy of VC. This review aims to summarize the novel findings on molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions of VC, including the role of inflammatory responses, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, iron homeostasis, metabolic imbalance, and some related signaling pathways on VC progression. We also conclude some recent studies on controversial interventions in the clinical practice of VC, such as calcium channel blockers, renin-angiotensin system inhibitions, statins, bisphosphonates, denosumab, vitamins, and ion conditioning agents.

Abstract
Exercise can prevent osteoporosis and improve immune function, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that exercise promotes reticulocalbin-2 secretion from the bone marrow macrophages to initiate bone marrow fat lipolysis. Given the crucial role of lipolysis in exercise-stimulated osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis, these findings suggest that reticulocalbin-2 is a pivotal regulator of a local adipose-osteogenic/immune axis. Mechanistically, reticulocalbin-2 binds to a functional receptor complex, which is composed of neuronilin-2 and integrin beta-1, to activate a cAMP-PKA signaling pathway that mobilizes bone marrow fat via lipolysis to fuel the differentiation and function of mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells. Notably, the administration of recombinant reticulocalbin-2 in tail-suspended and old mice remarkably decreases bone marrow fat accumulation and promotes osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis. These findings identify reticulocalbin-2 as a novel mechanosensitive lipolytic factor in maintaining energy homeostasis in bone resident cells, and it provides a promising target for skeletal and immune health.
