Studies on the Effects of Hypercholesterolemia on Mouse Ophthalmic Artery Reactivity. Diseases 2023; 11:124.

Abstract
Atherogenic lipoproteins may impair vascular reactivity, leading to tissue damage in various organs, including the eye. This study aimed to investigate whether ophthalmic artery reactivity is affected in mice lacking the apolipoprotein E gene (ApoE-/-), a model for hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. Twelve-month-old male ApoE-/- mice and age-matched wild-type controls were used to assess vascular reactivity using videomicroscopy. Moreover, the vascular mechanics, lipid content, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and expression of pro-oxidant redox enzymes and the lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) were determined in vascular tissue. Unlike the aorta, the ophthalmic artery of ApoE-/- mice developed no signs of endothelial dysfunction and no signs of excessive lipid deposition. Remarkably, the levels of ROS, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 (NOX1), NOX2, NOX4, and LOX-1 were increased in the aorta but not in the ophthalmic artery of ApoE-/- mice. Our findings suggest that ApoE-/- mice develop endothelial dysfunction in the aorta by increased oxidative stress via the involvement of LOX-1, NOX1, and NOX2, whereas NOX4 may participate in media remodeling. In contrast, the ophthalmic artery appears to be resistant to chronic apolipoprotein E deficiency. A lack of LOX-1 expression/overexpression in response to increased oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels may be a possible mechanism of action.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1158812. [PMID: 37091976 PMCID: PMC10117689 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1158812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims: Vascular calcification (VC) and osteoporosis were previously considered two distinct diseases. However, current understanding indicates that they share common pathogenetic mechanisms. The available medicines for treating VC and osteoporosis are limited. We previously demonstrated that kefir peptides (KPs) alleviated atherosclerosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE−/−) mice. The present study further addressed the preventive effects of KPs on VC and osteoporosis in ApoE−/− mice fed a high-cholesterol atherogenic diet (AD).Main methods: Seven-week-old ApoE−/− and wild-type C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 6). The development of VC and osteoporosis was evaluated after AD feeding for 13 weeks in KP-treated ApoE−/− mice and compared to C57BL/6 and ApoE−/− mice fed a standard chow diet (CD).Key findings: The results indicated that KP-treated ApoE−/− mice exhibited lower serum total cholesterol, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatine kinase (CK) activities, which suggested that KPs prevented hyperlipidemia and possible damages to the liver and muscle in ApoE−/− mice. KPs reduced serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the local expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and macrophage-specific CD68 markers in aortic tissues, which suggested that KPs inhibited inflammatory responses in AD-fed ApoE−/− mice. KPs reduced the deposition of lipid, collagen, and calcium minerals in the aortic roots of AD-fed ApoE−/− mice, which suggested that KPs inhibited the calcific progression of atherosclerotic plaques. KPs exerted osteoprotective effects in AD-fed ApoE−/− mice, which was evidenced by lower levels of the bone resorption marker CTX-1 and higher levels of the bone formation marker P1NP. KPs improved cortical bone mineral density and bone volume and reduced trabecular bone loss in femurs.Significance: The present data suggested that KPs attenuated VC and osteoporosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in AD-fed ApoE−/− mice. Our findings contribute to the application of KPs as preventive medicines for the treatment of hyperlipidemia-induced vascular and bone degeneration.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a protein closely related to various metabolic diseases, is recently considered to play an essential role in bone metabolism. However, the effect and mechanism of ApoE on implant osseointegration have not been clarified. This study aims to investigate the influence of additional ApoE supplementation in regulating the osteogenesis-lipogenesis balance on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) cultured on titanium surface, and the effect of ApoE on the osseointegration of titanium implants. In vivo, the bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) and the bone-implant contact (BIC) significantly elevated in the exogenous supplement of ApoE group, compared with the Normal group. Meanwhile, the adipocyte area proportion around the implant dramatically decreased after 4-week healing. In vitro, the additional ApoE substantially drove the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs cultured on the titanium surface and inhibit their lipogenic differentiation as well as lipid droplet accumulation. These results suggest that ApoE, by mediating the differentiation of stem cells on the surface of titanium with this macromolecular protein, is deeply involved in facilitating titanium implant osseointegration, which reveals the potential mechanism and proposes a promising solution for further improving the osseointegration of titanium implants.

Abstract
Phytoestrogens are a class of potential natural medicines for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Segetalin B (SB) is a cyclic peptide compound showing estrogenic activity. This study reports the effect of SB on bone formation among ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from OVX rats were cultured in vitro. Alizarin Red staining was utilized to observe the effect of SB on the mineralization of BMSCs. The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2), and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activities were detected. The OVX rats were treated with SB in vivo. Micro-CT was utilized for imaging analysis. Urine calcium and phosphorus, and ALP activity in bone marrow were assayed. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence were incorporated to detect protein expressions in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that SB dose-dependently promoted mineralization of OVX rat-derived BMSCs in vitro increased the level of Osteocalcin, BMP-2, ALP, and SIRT1 activity. Moreover, it upregulated expressions of Runx2, Osterix, and SIRT1, downregulated expressions of Notch intracellular domain (NICD), acetyl-NICD, and hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1). In addition, SB treatment significantly decreased bone loss, inhibited calcium and phosphorus loss, elevated ALP activity, upregulated Runx2, Osterix, and SIRT1, and downregulated NICD and Hes1 in OVX rats in vivo. However, EX527, a SIRT1-selective inhibitor, could reverse the above effects of SB in vitro or in vivo. These results indicate that SB is a potential natural medicine to improve PMOP. Thus, its mechanism of promoting bone formation involves the SIRT1/Notch1 signaling axis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells are promising candidates for regenerative applications upon treatment of bone defects. Bone marrow‐derived stromal cells (BMSCs) are limited by yield and donor morbidity but show superior osteogenic capacity compared to adipose‐derived stromal cells (ASCs), which are highly abundant and easy to harvest. The underlying reasons for this difference on a proteomic level have not been studied yet. Human ASCs and BMSCs were characterized by FACS analysis and tri‐lineage differentiation, followed by an intraindividual comparative proteomic analysis upon osteogenic differentiation. Results of the proteomic analysis were followed by functional pathway analysis. 29 patients were included with a total of 58 specimen analysed. In these, out of 5148 identified proteins 2095 could be quantified in >80% of samples of both cell types, 427 in >80% of ASCs only and 102 in >80% of BMSCs only. 281 proteins were differentially regulated with a fold change of >1.5 of which 204 were higher abundant in BMSCs and 77 in ASCs. Integrin cell surface interactions were the most overrepresented pathway with 5 integrins being among the proteins with highest fold change. Integrin 11a, a known key protein for osteogenesis, could be identified as strongly up‐regulated in BMSC confirmed by Western blotting. The integrin expression profile is one of the key distinctive features of osteogenic differentiated BMSCs and ASCs. Thus, they represent a promising target for modifications of ASCs aiming to improve their osteogenic capacity and approximate them to that of BMSCs.

Abstract
Background Statins are the most widely used drugs in elderly patients; the most common clinical application of statins is in aged hyperlipemia patients. There are few studies on the effects and mechanisms of statins on bone in elderly mice with hyperlipemia. The study is to examine the effects of atorvastatin on bone phenotypes and metabolism in aged apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE–/–) mice, and the possible mechanisms involved in these changes. Methods Twenty-four 60-week-old apoE–/– mice were randomly allocated to two groups. Twelve mice were orally gavaged with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg body weight/day) for 12 weeks; the others served as the control group. Bone mass and skeletal microarchitecture were determined using micro-CT. Bone metabolism was assessed by serum analyses, qRT-PCR, and Western blot. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from apoE–/– mice were differentiated into osteoblasts and treated with atorvastatin and silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) inhibitor EX-527. Results The results showed that long-term administration of atorvastatin increases bone mass and improves bone microarchitecture in trabecular bone but not in cortical bone. Furthermore, the serum bone formation marker osteocalcin (OCN) was ameliorated by atorvastatin, whereas the bone resorption marker tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (Trap5b) did not appear obviously changes after the treatment of atorvastatin. The mRNA expression of Sirt1, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and OCN in bone tissue were increased after atorvastatin administration. Western blot showed same trend in Sirt1 and Runx2. The in vitro study showed that when BMSCs from apoE–/– mice were pretreated with EX527, the higher expression of Runx2, ALP, and OCN activated by atorvastatin decreased significantly or showed no difference compared with the control. The protein expression of Runx2 showed same trend. Conclusions Accordingly, the current study validates the hypothesis that atorvastatin can increase bone mass and promote osteogenesis in aged apoE−/− mice by regulating the Sirt1–Runx2 axis.

Activation of SIRT1 ameliorates LPS-induced lung injury in mice via decreasing endothelial tight junction permeability. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2019; 40:630-641.

Abstract
The integrity of the endothelial barrier is a determinant of the prognosis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). In this study, we investigated whether and how Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) maintained the vascular integrity during ALI. An experimental model of ALI was established in mice through intratracheal administration of LPS (10 mg/kg). LPS stimulation significantly increased the pulmonary permeability and decreased the expression of SIRT1 and tight junction proteins (TJs), including occludin, claudin-5, tight junction protein 1 and tight junction protein 2. Morphological studies showed that LPS induced obvious lung injury with inflammatory cell infiltration in the interstitial and alveolar space, hemorrhage, edema, and the thickened alveolar wall compared to the control mice. Intratracheal administration of the selective SIRT1 activator SRT1720 (6.25 mg/kg) significantly attenuated LPS-induced lung injury, lung hyper-permeability and increased TJs expression, whereas intratracheal administration of the selective SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 (6.25 mg/kg) aggravated LPS-induced ALI. Similar protective effects of SIRT1 on pulmonary cellular permeability were observed in primary human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells treated with LPS (2 mg/mL) in vitro. We further demonstrated that the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway was activated in SIRT1 regulation of tight junction permeability. The RhoA/ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 (10 μM) increased the expression of TJs and reversed LPS- or EX527-induced hyper-permeability. In conclusion, SIRT1 ameliorates LPS-induced lung injury via decreasing endothelial tight junction permeability, possibly via RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. This finding may contribute to the development of new therapeutic approaches for lung injury.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent deacylase, has been identified to be associated with renal tubular inflammatory conditions and metabolic disorders, which are risk factors of nephrolithiasis. To further confirm the role of the SIRT1 in kidney stone formation, the expression of SIRT1 was analyzed based on a mouse model and the genetic polymorphisms of SIRT1 gene was compared between patients with kidney stones and controls. The calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal-induced renal injury model was established to analyzed the expression of SIRT1 in the kidney tissue of both wild-type and ApoE(−/−) mice. And a total of 430 Eastern Chinese subjects (215 patients with nephrolithiasis and 215 age- and gender-matched controls) were recruited for the present study to investigate the associations between 6 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (i.e., rs10509291, rs3740051, rs932658, rs33957861, rs3818292 and rs1467568) in the SIRT1 gene and the incidence of kidney stones. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium and the haplotypes of the 6 SNPs were also analyzed. The genotypes of SIRT1 gene polymorphisms were analyzed by a Snapshot assay. Reduced expression of SIRT1 was observed in the kidney of the mice in the crystal group, revealing the potential role of SIRT1 in the nephrolithiasis. However, we did not find a significant association between the 6 SNPs of the SIRT1 gene and kidney stone formation in the Eastern Chinese population.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? What is the effect and mechanism of interval running training on age-related muscle wasting and bone loss in an ovariectomized rat model? What is the main finding and its importance? Interval running training improved muscle growth and osteogenic differentiation by enhancing the expression of bone morphogenic proteins and sirtuins in ageing-induced ovariectomized rats. Therefore, the repetition of low and high intensities within a single exercise bout, such as interval running training, may be recommended as a practical intervention to prevent skeletal muscle wasting and bone loss in the elderly. ABSTRACT Effective prophylactic strategies are needed for the suppression of age-related muscle wasting and bone loss after menopause. Exercise training is attractive due to its potential for improving energy metabolism, as well as age-related muscle wasting and bone loss. In particular, interval running (IR) training involves a repetition of low and high intensities within a single exercise bout. Therefore, this study elucidated the effect of interval training on muscle and bone health, as well as anti-ageing, in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The anti-ageing effect of IR on muscle and bone was tested using western blotting and micro-computed tomography analysis, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and immunohistochemical staining. IR significantly inhibited the expression of inflammatory molecules, and improved antioxidant activity via down-regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the ageing-induced OVX rats skeletal muscle. IR compared with continuous running (CR) improved muscle mass and growth in OVX rats by the promotion of muscle growth-related factors including MyoD, myogenin, phospho-mechanistic target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), sirtuins (SIRTs), and bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs). IR also effectively recovered OVX-induced bone loss via the down-regulation of bone resorption and osteoclast formation in receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-treated bone marrowmacrophages (BMMs). In particular, IR led to high expression of SIRT1 and 6, which promoted osteogenic differentiation and bone formation via modulating the BMP signalling pathway compared with CR training. The in vivo effect of IR was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining with the improvement of bone formation molecules such as BMPs and SIRTs. These results suggested that IR training affected myogenic and osteogenic formation. So, IR training may be considered for prevention of muscle wasting and bone loss for the elderly.

Abstract
Aging is associated with the development of osteoporosis, in which cellular senescence in osteoblasts plays a key role. Leukotriene D4 (LTD4), an important cysteinyl leukotriene (cysLT), is a powerful pro-inflammatory mediator formed from arachidonic acid. However, little information regarding the effects of LTD4 on the pathogenesis of osteoporosis has been reported before. In the present study, we defined the physiological roles of LTD4 in cellular senescence in osteoblasts. Our results indicate that LTD4 treatment decreased the expression of SIRT1 in a dose-dependent manner in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Additionally, LTD4 significantly increased the expression of p53, p21 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). LTD4 was also found to elevate the activity of β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) but to prevent BrdU incorporation. Our results indicate that cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (cysLT1R) could be detected in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells at both the mRNA and protein levels. However, cysLT2R was not expressed in these cells. Interestingly, we found that knockdown of cysLT1R or use of the selective cysLT1R antagonist montelukast abolished the LTD4-induced reduction in SIRT1 and increase in p53, p21, and PAI-1. Notably, knockdown of cysLT1R by transfection with cysLT1R siRNA or treatment with montelukast attenuated the LTD4-induced increase in SA-β-Gal activity. Our study shows for the first time that LTD4 has a significant impact on cellular senescence in osteoblasts.
