Exendin-4 enhances osteogenic differentiation of adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells through the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B and osteoprotegerin signaling pathway. J Cell Biochem 2022; 123:906-920. [PMID: 35338509 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.30236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The capability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to repair bone damage and defects has long been investigated. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), its ligand (RANKL) and the decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis is crucial to keep the equilibrium between osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. Exendin-4 utilization increased bone formation and enhanced bone integrity. This study aimed to investigate the mentioned axis and determine the effect of exendin-4 upon adipose mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) osteogenic differentiation. Ad-MSCs were isolated from rat epididymal fat, followed by characterization and then differentiation into osteocytes both in the presence or absence of exendin-4. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by alizarin red staining and the expression of osteogenic markers; using reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and enzyme-linked immunoassay. MSCs derived from rat epididymal fat were isolated and characterized, along with their differentiation into osteocytes. The differentiated cells were alizarin red-stained, showing increased staining intensity upon addition of exendin-4. Moreover, the addition of exendin-4 elevated the messenger RNA expression levels of osteogenic markers; runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX-2), osteocalcin, and forkhead box protein O-1 while reducing the expression of the adipogenic marker peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-gamma. Exendin-4 addition elevated OPG levels in the supernatant of osteogenic differentiated cells. Moreover, exendin-4 elevated the protein levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and RUNX-2, while decreasing both RANK and RANKL. In conclusion, osteogenic differentiation of Ad-MSCs is associated with increased osteoblastic rather than osteoclastic activity. The findings of this study suggest that exendin-4 can enhance Ad-MSCs osteogenic differentiation partially through the RANK/RANKL/OPG axis.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for osteoporosis. The effects of T2DM and anti-diabetic agents on bone and mineral metabolism have been observed. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) promote urinary glucose excretion, reduce blood glucose level, and improve the cardiovascular and diabetic nephropathy outcomes. In this review, we focused on the extraglycemic effect and physiological regulation of SGLT-2is on bone and mineral metabolism. SGLT-2is affect the bone turnover, microarchitecture, and bone strength indirectly. Clinical evidence of a meta-analysis showed that SGLT-2is might not increase the risk of bone fracture. The effect of SGLT-2is on bone fracture is controversial, and further investigation from a real-world study is needed. Based on its significant benefit on cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes, SGLT-2is are an outstanding choice. Bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk evaluation should be considered for patients with a high risk of bone fracture.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D)-induced osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mineral density, bone quality, rate of bone healing, bone formation, and increased bone resorption. Patients with T1D have a 2-7-fold higher risk of osteoporotic fracture. The mechanisms leading to increased risk of osteoporotic fracture in T1D include insulin deficiency, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, lower insulin-like growth factor-1, hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress, and inflammation. In addition, a higher probability of falling, kidney dysfunction, weakened vision, and neuropathy indirectly increase the risk of osteoporotic fracture in T1D patients. Decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability contributes to the pathophysiology of T1D-induced osteoporotic fracture. This review discusses the role of NO in osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in T1D. In addition, the mechanisms involved in reduced NO bioavailability and activity in type 1 diabetic bones as well as NO-based therapy for T1D-induced osteoporosis are summarized. Available data indicates that lower NO bioavailability in diabetic bones is due to disruption of phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase/protein kinase B/endothelial NO synthases and NO/cyclic guanosine monophosphate/protein kinase G signaling pathways. Thus, NO bioavailability may be boosted directly or indirectly by NO donors. As NO donors with NO-like effects in the bone, inorganic nitrate and nitrite can potentially be used as novel therapeutic agents for T1D-induced osteoporosis. Inorganic nitrites and nitrates can decrease the risk for osteoporotic fracture probably directly by decreasing osteoclast activity, decreasing fat accumulation in the marrow cavity, increasing osteoblast activity, and increasing bone perfusion or indirectly, by improving hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and reducing body weight.

Abstract
Worldwide prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) has become a major concern with several implications for public health, economy, and social well-being, especially in developing countries. Conventional pharmacological management of T2D have proved effective, but possess underlying side effects, leading the scientific community to research alternative compounds that exert beneficial effects on current therapeutic targets of T2D. Bioactive peptides (BAPs) from food sources, have shown relative advantages in this matter, moreover, BAPs have proved to impart anti-diabetic activity through one or more mechanisms such as enzymatic inhibition of α-glucosidase, α-amylase and DPP-IV. Several plants and animal have been used as protein sources of anti-diabetic BAPs, in the sense of this matter, the pseudo-cereals amaranth and quinoa, along with the ancestral grain chia, have gained attention. Due, to their high protein content and balanced amino-acid composition, along with proved anti-diabetic features, the three seeds are top choices for the obtention of anti-diabetic BAPs. With a comprehensive overview of the most recent reported in silico and in vitro anti-diabetic studies in relation to biomarkers α-glucosidase, α-amylase and DPP-IV, the present review aims to examine the current knowledge of amaranth, quinoa and chia derived anti-diabetic BAPs and their effects on T2D therapeutic markers.

Abstract
The development of sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) broadens the therapeutic strategies in treating diabetes mellitus. By inhibiting sodium and glucose reabsorption from the proximal tubules, the improvement in insulin resistance and natriuresis improved the cardiovascular mortality in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. It has been known that SGLT2i also provided renoprotection by lowering the intraglomerular hypertension by modulating the pre- and post- glomerular vascular tone. The application of SGLT2i also provided metabolic and hemodynamic benefits in molecular aspects. The recent DAPA-CKD trial and EMPEROR-Reduced trial provided clinical evidence of renal and cardiac protection, even in non-DM patients. Therefore, the aim of the review is to clarify the hemodynamic and metabolic modulation of SGLT2i from the molecular mechanism.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antihyperglycemic drugs that act by inhibiting renal sodium-glucose cotransport. Here we present new insights into 'off target', or indirect, effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibition causes an acute increase in urinary glucose excretion. In addition to lowering blood glucose, there are several other effects that contribute to the overall beneficial renal and cardiovascular effects. Reabsorption of about 66% of sodium is accomplished in the proximal tubule and dependent on the sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3). SGLT2 colocalizes with NHE3, and high glucose levels reduce NHE3 activity. The proximal tubule is also responsible for the majority of phosphate (Pi) reabsorption. SGLT2 inhibition is associated with increases in plasma Pi, fibroblast growth factor 23 and parathyroid hormone levels in nondiabetics and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies in humans identified a urate-lowering effect by SGLT2 inhibition which is possibly mediated by urate transporter 1 (URAT1) and/or glucose transporter member 9 in the proximal tubule. Of note, magnesium levels were also found to increase under SGLT2 inhibition, an effect that was preserved in nondiabetic patients with hypomagnesemia. SUMMARY Cardiorenal effects of SGLT2 inhibition might involve, in addition to direct effects on glucose homeostasis, effects on NHE3, phosphate, urate, and magnesium homeostasis.

Abstract
Purpose of review Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are relatively novel antidiabetic drugs that improve glycemic control and reduce cardiovascular outcomes as well as renal function decline. SGLT2 inhibitors act by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Emerging data suggest that these drugs may also influence bone and mineral metabolism. This review summarizes clinical trial data on bone and mineral outcomes, and discusses potential underlying mechanisms. Recent findings Three large randomized controlled trials documented cardiovascular and renal protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors influence renal phosphate reabsorption and calciuria. Although the CANVAS trial suggested an increased fracture risk associated with canagliflozin compared with placebo, the vast majority of trials and meta-analyses did not demonstrate an increased fracture risk associated with SGLT2 inhibitor use. Summary SGLT2 inhibitors have shown clinically relevant cardiovascular and renal protective effects. The long-term implications for bone health, in particular in the context of chronic kidney disease, are still incompletely understood and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to microvascular, macrovascular, and neurological complications. Less is understood about the mechanisms of this disease that give rise to weak bones. The many molecular mechanisms proposed to explain the damage caused by chronic hyperglycemia are organ and tissue dependent. Since all the different treatments for DM involve therapeutic activity combined with side effects and each patient represents a unique condition, there is no generalized therapy. The alterations stemming from hyperglycemia affect metabolism, osmotic pressure, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In part, hemodynamic modifications are linked to the osmotic potential of the excess of carbohydrates implicated in the disease. The change in osmotic balance increases as the disease progresses because hyperglycemia becomes chronic. The aim of the current contribution is to provide an updated overview of the molecular mechanisms that participate in the development and treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stromal cells in the endosteal niche lining compact bone (CB-MSCs) represent a heterogeneous population, all of which contribute to bone repair and remodelling. Hyperglycaemia associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can delay and impair the bone healing process. Therefore, this study investigated the influences of high (25 mM) glucose conditions on CB-MSC populations isolated from male Wistar rats, versus normal (5.5 mM) glucose conditions; in terms of proliferation (population doublings, PDs), senescence characteristics, stem cell marker expression, colony forming efficiencies (CFEs); and osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation, following extended culture in vitro. Results CB-MSCs under both normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic conditions demonstrated similar morphologies and rapid exponential growth to >300PDs, although high glucose conditions promoted more rapid and persistent proliferation beyond ~50PDs, with few indications of senescence. Limited senescence was confirmed by minimal SA-β-galactosidase staining, low senescence marker (p53, p21waf1, p16INK4a) expression and positive telomere maintenance marker (rTERT, TR) expression. However, telomere lengths varied throughout culture expansion, with hyperglycaemia significantly reducing telomere lengths at PD50 and PD200. Furthermore, CB-MSCs expanded in normal and high glucose conditions remained non-transformed, exhibiting similar MSC (CD73/CD90/CD105), multipotency (CD146) and embryonic (Slug, Snail) markers throughout extended culture, but negligible hematopoietic (CD34/CD45) or pluripotency (Nanog, Oct4) markers. Hyperglycaemia significantly increased CFEs at PD50 and PD100, which decreased at PD200. CB-MSC osteogenic differentiation was also inhibited by hyperglycaemia at PD15, PD100 and PD200, but not at PD50. Hyperglycaemia inhibited CB-MSC adipogenic differentiation to a lesser extent at PD15 and PD50, with reduced adipogenesis overall at PD100 and PD200. Conclusion This study demonstrates the limited negative impact of hyperglycaemia on the proliferative and stem cell characteristics of heterogeneous CB-MSC populations, although minor sub-population(s) appear more susceptible to these conditions leading to impaired osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation capabilities. Such findings potentially highlight the impact of hyperglycaemia on CB-MSC bone repair capabilities in situ.

Abstract
Background Excessive reactive oxygen species production caused by type 2 diabetes conditions can disrupt normal bone metabolism and greatly impair bone regeneration. Materials and methods In the present study, curcumin (Cur)-loaded microspheres were incorporated into a fish collagen nano-hydroxyapatite scaffold to promote bone repair under diabetic conditions by inhibiting the reactive oxygen species production. Results The drug release kinetic study showed that the Cur release from the composite scaffolds lasted up to 30 days. The sustained curcumin release from the scaffold significantly inhibited the overproduction of reactive oxygen species in mesenchymal stem cells caused by diabetic serum. Moreover, the Cur-loaded scaffold also remarkedly alleviated the negative effects of diabetic serum on the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. When implanted into bone defects in type 2 diabetic rats, the Cur-loaded scaffold also showed a greater bone formation capability compared to the pure scaffold. Conclusion The results of this study suggested that the novel controlled Cur release system may provide a promising route to improve bone regeneration in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
FGF21, a special member of FGF superfamily, has been proven to have pleiotropic metabolic effects and many potential therapeutic action in various metabolic disorders. Vascular calcification (VC), a perplexing clinical issue, is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, especially for patients with some metabolic diseases. However, the role of FGF21 on VC in vivo remains unclear. Thus, in this study, we observed the effect and mechanism of FGF21 on VC induced by vitamin D3 plus nicotine (VDN) treated rats. After four weeks' treatment, the calcium overload is mainly manifested in the increased blood pressure, aortic calcium content and ALP activity. Also, the HE and Alizarin-red S staining showed the structural damage of calcified vessel walls. In addition, the level of endogenous FGF21/β-Klotho/FGFR1 axis was up-regulated in the aortas of VC rats. Furthermore, exogenous FGF21 treatment significantly ameliorated the aortic injury and calcification in VC rats, and the level of β-Klotho and FGFR1 were furtherly increase. Moreover, FGF21 inhibited the osteogenic transition of VSMCs by down-regulating the expression of bone-associated proteins such as osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), together with restored the expression of SM22α and SM α-actin, which are two of lineage markers in VSMCs. We provide the first evidence that FGF21 can inhibit the development of VC by inhibiting the osteogenic transition of VSMCs in rats. FGF21 might be an efficient endogenous vasoprotective factor for calcification.
