Wu Z, Yang Y, Wang M. Silencing p75NTR regulates osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis of BMSCs to enhance bone healing in fractured rats. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:192. [PMID: 38504358 PMCID: PMC10953090 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04653-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures heal through a process that involves angiogenesis and osteogenesis but may also lead to non-union or delayed healing. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been reported to play a pivotal role in bone formation and vascular regeneration and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) as being an important regulator of osteogenesis. Herein, we aim to determine the potential mediation of BMSCs by p75NTR in bone healing. METHODS Rat BMSCs were identified by flow cytometry (FCM) to detect cell cycle and surface markers. Then transfection of si/oe-p75NTR was performed in BMSCs, followed by Alizarin red staining to detect osteogenic differentiation of cells, immunofluorescence double staining was performed to detect the expression of p75NTR and sortilin, co-immunoprecipitation (CO-IP) was conducted to analyze the interaction between p75NTR and sortilin, and EdU staining and cell scratch assay to assess the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, and apoptosis-related proteins were also detected. In addition, a rat fracture healing model was constructed, and BMSCs-si-p75NTR were injected, following which the fracture condition was observed using micro-CT imaging, and the expression of platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) was assessed. RESULTS The results showed that BMSCs were successfully isolated, p75NTR inhibited apoptosis and the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while si-p75NTR led to a decrease in sortilin expression in BMSCs, increased proliferation and migration in HUVECs, and upregulation of HIF-1α and VEGF expression. In addition, an interaction was observed between p75NTR and sortilin. The knockdown of p75NTR was found to reduce the severity of fracture in rats and increase the expression of CD31 and osteogenesis-related proteins. CONCLUSION Silencing p75NTR effectively modulates BMSCs to promote osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis, offering a novel perspective for improving fracture healing.

Abstract
The precursor nerve growth factor (ProNGF) and its receptor p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) are upregulated in several brain diseases, including ischemic stroke. The activation of p75NTR is associated with neuronal apoptosis and inflammation. Thus, we hypothesized that p75NTR modulation attenuates brain damage and improves functional outcomes after ischemic stroke. Two sets of experiments were performed. (1) Adult wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to intraluminal suture-middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to induce cerebral ischemia. Pharmacological inhibitor of p75NTR, LM11A-31 (50 mg/kg), or normal saline was administered intraperitoneally (IP) 1 h post-MCAO, and animals survived for 24 h. (2) Adult p75NTR heterozygous knockout (p75NTR+/-) and WT were subjected to photothrombotic (pMCAO) to induce ischemic stroke, and the animals survived for 72 h. The sensory-motor function of animals was measured using Catwalk XT. The brain samples were collected to assess infarction volume, edema, hemorrhagic transformation, neuroinflammation, and signaling pathway at 24 and 72 h after the stroke. The findings described that pharmacological inhibition and genetic knocking down of p75NTR reduce infarction size, edema, and hemorrhagic transformation following ischemic stroke. Additionally, p75NTR modulation significantly decreased several anti-apoptosis markers and improved sensory motor function compared to the WT mice following ischemic stroke. Our observations exhibit that the involvement of p75NTR in ischemic stroke and modulation of p75NTR could improve the outcome of ischemic stroke by increasing cell survival and enhancing motor performance. LM11A-31 has the potential to be a promising therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke. However, more evidence is needed to illuminate the efficacy of LM11A-31 in ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The circadian clock plays a critical role in dentomaxillofacial development. Tooth biomineralization is characterized by the circadian clock; however, the mechanisms underlying the coordination of circadian rhythms with tooth development and biomineralization remain unclear. The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is a clock factor that regulates the oscillatory components of the circadian rhythm. This study aims to investigate the impact of p75NTR on the rhythmic mineralization of teeth and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms. We generated p75NTR knockout mice to examine the effects of p75NTR deficiency on tooth mineralization. Ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs), derived from mouse tooth germs, were used for in vitro experiments. Results showed a reduction in tooth mineral density and daily mineralization rate in p75NTR knockout mice. Deletion of p75NTR decreased the expression of DMP1, DSPP, RUNX2, and ALP in tooth germ. Odontogenic differentiation and mineralization of EMSCs were activated by p75NTR. Histological results demonstrated predominant detection of p75NTR protein in odontoblasts and stratum intermedium cells during rapid formation phases of dental hard tissue. The mRNA expression of p75NTR exhibited circadian variations in tooth germs and EMSCs, consistent with the expression patterns of the core clock genes Bmal1 and Clock. The upregulation of BMAL1/CLOCK expression by p75NTR positively regulated the mineralization ability of EMSCs, whereas BMAL1 and CLOCK exerted a negative feedback regulation on p75NTR by inhibiting its promoter activity. Our findings suggest that p75NTR is necessary to maintain normal tooth biomineralization. Odontogenic differentiation and mineralization of EMSCs is regulated by the p75NTR-BMAL1/CLOCK signaling axis. These findings offer valuable insights into the associations between circadian rhythms, tooth development, and biomineralization.

Dynamic expression of Mage-D1 in rat dental germs and potential role in mineralization of ectomesenchymal stem cells. Sci Rep 2022; 12:22615.

Abstract
Mage-D1 (MAGE family member D1) is involved in a variety of cell biological effects. Recent studies have shown that Mage-D1 is closely related to tooth development, but its specific regulatory mechanism is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression pattern of Mage-D1 in rat dental germ development and its differential mineralization ability to ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs), and to explore its potential mechanism. Results showed that the expression of Mage-D1 during rat dental germ development was temporally and spatially specific. Mage-D1 promotes the proliferation ability of EMSCs but inhibits their migration ability. Under induction by mineralized culture medium, Mage-D1 promotes osteogenesis and tooth-forming ability. Furthermore, the expression pattern of Mage-D1 at E19.5 d rat dental germ is similar to p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), distal-less homeobox 1 (Dlx1) and msh homeobox 1 (Msx1). In addition, Mage-D1 is binding to p75NTR, Dlx1, and Msx1 in vitro. These findings indicate that Mage-D1 is play an important regulatory role in normal mineralization of teeth. p75NTR, Dlx1, and Msx1 seem to be closely related to the underlying mechanism of Mage-D1 action.

Neural Regulations in Tooth Development and Tooth-Periodontium Complex Homeostasis: A Literature Review. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214150.

Abstract
The tooth-periodontium complex and its nerves have active reciprocal regulation during development and homeostasis. These effects are predominantly mediated by a range of molecules secreted from either the nervous system or the tooth-periodontium complex. Different strategies mimicking tooth development or physiological reparation have been applied to tooth regeneration studies, where the application of these nerve- or tooth-derived molecules has been proven effective. However, to date, basic studies in this field leave many vacancies to be filled. This literature review summarizes the recent advances in the basic studies on neural responses and regulation during tooth-periodontium development and homeostasis and points out some research gaps to instruct future studies. Deepening our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of tooth development and diseases will provide more clues for tooth regeneration.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the best-characterized neurotrophin and is primarily recognized for its key role in the embryonic development of the nervous system and neuronal cell survival/differentiation. Recently, unexpected actions of NGF in bone regeneration have emerged as NGF is able to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. However, little is known regarding how NGF signaling regulates osteogenic differentiation through epigenetic mechanisms. In this study, using human dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs), we demonstrated that NGF mediates osteogenic differentiation through p75NTR, a low-affinity NGF receptor. P75NTR-mediated NGF signaling activates the JNK cascade and the expression of KDM4B, an activating histone demethylase, by removing repressive H3K9me3 epigenetic marks. Mechanistically, NGF-activated c-Jun binds to the KDM4B promoter region and directly upregulates KDM4B expression. Subsequently, KDM4B directly and epigenetically activates DLX5, a master osteogenic gene, by demethylating H3K9me3 marks. Furthermore, we revealed that KDM4B and c-Jun from the JNK signaling pathway work in concert to regulate NGF-mediated osteogenic differentiation through simultaneous recruitment to the promoter region of DLX5. We identified KDM4B as a key epigenetic regulator during the NGF-mediated osteogenesis both in vitro and in vivo using the calvarial defect regeneration mouse model. In conclusion, our study thoroughly elucidated the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms during NGF-mediated osteogenesis.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:981311.

Abstract
Objective: Tooth morphogenesis and the formation of hard tissues have been reported to be closely related to circadian rhythms. This study investigates the spatiotemporal expression and relationship of p75NTR with core clock genes, mineralization-related or odontogenesis-related genes, and aims to derive the potential role of p75NTR in regulating circadian rhythm and incrementality growth line formation during tooth development. Materials and methods: The dynamic morphology of the rat dental germ was observed at seven stages (E14.5 d, E16.5 d, E18.5 d, P.N. 4 d, P.N. 7 d, P.N. 10 d, and P.N. 15 d). Next, the expressions of p75NTR and other target factors were traced. The ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) were isolated from the E18.5d rat dental germs and synchronized using 50% of fetal bovine serum. Then, they were cultured in light/light (L.L.), dark/dark (D.D.), and light/dark (L.D.) conditions for 48 h. The total RNA was collected every 4 h, and the circadian rhythm dynamics of target factors were observed. To reveal the mechanism further, p75NTR was down-regulated in p75NTRExIII−/− mice and up-regulated in immortalized mouse dental apical papilla progenitor cells. The change tendencies of other target factors were also detected. Results: The clock genes Bmal1, Clock, Per1, and Per2 were all expressed in tooth germs before the formation of dental hard tissues and demonstrated a regular oscillating expression pattern in EMSCs from dental germs. Their expression was affected by the L.D. stimulus, and most of them were promoted by D.D. conditions. p75NTR presented a similar expression pattern and a positive or negative relationship with most clock genes, mineralization-related and odontogenesis-related factors, such as brain and muscle ARNT-like protein-1 (Bmal1), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), MSH-like 1 (MSX1), dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 (Dmp1), and dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp). Moreover, the arrangement, morphology, and even boundary in pre-odontoblast/pre-ameloblast layers were disordered in the p75NTRExIII−/− mice. Conclusion: Circadian rhythm was found to affect tooth development. p75NTR might play a crucial role in regulating clock genes in the mineralization and formation of the dental hard tissues. p75NTR is actively involved in the odontoblast-ameloblast junction and cell polarity establishment during tooth morphogenesis.

Abstract
p75NTR, a neural crest stem cell marker, is continuously expressed in mesenchymal cells during tooth development. Importantly, high expression of p75NTR in the late bell stage implicates its involvement in odontogenesis and mineralization. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying p75NTR involvement in odonto/osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Here, we investigate the effect and potential mechanisms underlying p75NTR involvement in odonto/osteogenic differentiation. We dissected EMSCs from the first branchial arches of mice embryo and compared the proliferation and migration of p75NTR+/+ and p75NTR-/-EMSCs by transwell, scratch and cell counting kit 8(CCK8)assays. The differentiation ability and the involvement of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway were investigated through alkaline phosphatase and immunofluorescence assay, real-time PCR, and western blot. During induction of dental epithelium conditioned medium, p75NTR+/+ EMSCs exhibited deeper Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and higher expression of odonto/osteogenic genes/proteins (e.g., dentin sialoprotein (DSPP) than p75NTR+/+ EMSCs. Moreover, p75NTR+/+ EMSCs exhibited higher nuclear P65 expression than p75NTR-/-EMSCs. Inhibition of NF-κB pathway with Bay11-7082 in p75NTR+/+EMSCs substantially decreased DSPP expression level. However, activation of NF-κB pathway with Bay11-7082 in p75NTR-/-EMSCs enhanced DSPP expression level. Thus, p75NTR possibly plays a paramount role in the proliferation and differentiation of EMSCs via NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR and explore their role in regulating mineralization of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs). METHODS EMSCs were isolated from the tooth germs of embryonic SD rats (19.5 days of gestation) by tissue explant culture and were identified for surface markers using flow cytometry. The cultured cells were divided into blank control group, 100 ng/mL nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation group, and lentivirus-mediated Mage-D1 interference (SH-Mage-D1) group. Proximity ligation assay was used to detect the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR in the EMSCs, and the binding strength was compared among the 3 groups. Alizarin red staining and ALP staining were used to observe mineralization of the induced cells. The expressions of ALP, Runx2, OCN, BSP, OPN, Msx1 and Dlx1 at both the mRNA and protein levels were detected using RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS The isolated EMSCs expressed high levels of cell surface markers CD44, CD90, CD29, CD146, and CD105 with a low expression of CD45. The results of proximity ligation assay showed that the binding of Mage-D1 with activated p75NTR in the cells increased over time, and the binding strength was significantly greater in NFG-treated cells than in the cells in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Alizarin red staining and ALP staining of the induced cells showed that the changes in the mineralization nodules were consistent with those of ALP activity. The cells treated with 100 ng/mL NGF exhibited significantly increased expressions of ALP, Runx2, OCN, BSP, OPN, Col1, Msx1 and Dlx1 as compared with the cells in the other two groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Mage-D1 directly binds to activated p75NTR in embryonic rat EMSCs to positively regulate the mineralization of the EMSCs.

Abstract
Objectives Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are considered a cause of diabetic osteoporosis. Although adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) are widely used in the research of bone regeneration, the mechanisms of the osteogenic differentiation of ASCs from diabetic osteoporosis model remain unclear. This work aimed to investigate the influence and the molecular mechanisms of AGEs on the osteogenic potential of ASCs. Materials and methods Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the change of AGEs in diabetic osteoporotic and control C57BL/6 mice. ASCs were obtained from the inguinal fat of C57BL/6 mice. AGEs, 5‐aza2′‐deoxycytidine (5‐aza‐dC) and DKK‐1 were used to treat ASCs. Real‐time cell analysis and cell counting kit‐8 were used to monitor the proliferation of ASCs within and without AGEs. Real‐time PCR, Western blot and Immunofluorescence were used to analyse the genes and proteins expression of osteogenic factors, DNA methylation factors and Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway among the different groups. Results The AGEs and DNA methylation were increased in the adipose and bone tissue of the diabetic osteoporosis group. Untreated ASCs had higher cell proliferation activity than AGEs‐treatment group. The expression levels of osteogenic genes, Opn and Runx2, were lower, and mineralized nodules were less in AGEs‐treatment group. Meanwhile, DNA methylation was increased, and the Wnt signalling pathway markers, including β‐Catenin, Lef1 and P‐GSK‐3β, were inhibited. After treatment with 5‐aza‐dC, the osteogenic differentiation capacity of ASCs in the AGEs environment was restored and the Wnt signalling pathway was activated during this process. Conclusions Advanced glycation end products inhibit the osteogenic differentiation ability of ASCs by activating DNA methylation and inhibiting Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in vitro. Therefore, DNA methylation may be promising targets for the bone regeneration of ASCs with diabetic osteoporosis.

Cell Prolif 2020; 53:e12758. [PMID: 31922317 PMCID: PMC7048213 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.12758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Revised: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the role and potential mechanism of p75NTR in mineralization in vivo using p75NTR-knockout mice and in vitro using ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Femur bone mass and daily incisor mineralization speed were assessed in an in vivo p75NTR-knockout mouse model. The molecular signatures alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type 1 (Col1), melanoma-associated antigen (Mage)-D1, bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), distal-less homeobox 1 (Dlx1) and Msh homeobox 1 (Msx1) were examined in vitro in EMSCs isolated from p75NTR+/+ and p75NTRExIII-/- mice. RESULTS p75NTR-knockout mice were smaller in body size than heterozygous and wild-type mice. Micro-computed tomography and structural quantification showed that the osteogenic ability of p75NTRExIII -knockout mice was significantly decreased compared with that of wild-type mice (P < .05). Weaker ALP and alizarin red staining and reduced expression of ALP, Col1, Runx2, BSP, OCN and OPN were also observed in p75NTRExIII-/- EMSCs. Moreover, the distance between calcein fluorescence bands in p75NTRExIII -knockout mice was significantly smaller than that in wild type and heterozygous mice (P < .05), indicating the lower daily mineralization speed of incisors in p75NTRExIII -knockout mice. Further investigation revealed a positive correlation between p75NTR and Mage-D1, Dlx1, and Msx1. CONCLUSION p75NTR not only promotes osteogenic differentiation and tissue mineralization, but also shows a possible relationship with the circadian rhythm of dental hard tissue formation.
