Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of pluripotent adult stem cell with strong self-renewal and multi-differentiation abilities. Their excellent biological traits, minimal immunogenicity, and abundant availability have made them the perfect seed cells for treating a wide range of diseases. After more than 60 years of clinical practice, metformin is currently one of the most commonly used hypoglycaemic drugs for type 2 diabetes in clinical practice. In addition, metformin has shown great potential in the treatment of various systemic diseases except for type 2 diabetes in recent years, and the mechanisms are involved with antioxidant stress, anti-inflammatory, and induced autophagy, etc. This article reviews the effects and the underlying mechanisms of metformin on the biological properties, including proliferation, multi-differentiation, and aging, of MSCs in vitro and in vivo with the aim of providing theoretical support for in-depth scientific research and clinical applications in MSCs-mediated disease treatment.

Abstract
Evidence concerning the osteotoxic effects of chemotherapy (doxorubicin) has been previously described. Periodontitis also progressively increases in patients receiving chemotherapy; however, the beneficial effects of melatonin and metformin on the alleviation of doxorubicin-induced osteotoxicity have never been investigated. Therefore, we investigated the negative impact of doxorubicin on alveolar bone homeostasis and the benefits of melatonin and metformin on the attenuation of doxorubicin-induced alveolar bone toxicity. Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups to receive either 1 mL of normal saline solution as a control group, 3 mg/kg of doxorubicin, 3 mg/kg of doxorubicin plus 10 mg/kg of melatonin, or 3 mg/kg of doxorubicin plus 250 mg/kg of metformin. Doxorubicin treatment was given on days 0, 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29, while interventions were given daily on days 0 to 29. Following euthanasia, blood and alveolar bones were collected for evaluation of oxidative stress, bone remodeling, inflammation, microarchitecture, and periodontal condition. We found that doxorubicin increased systemic oxidative stress, decreased antioxidative capacity, increased inflammation, decreased bone formation, increased bone reabsorption, impaired microarchitecture, and impaired periodontal condition of the alveolar bone. Although cotreatment with melatonin or metformin resulted in some improvement in these parameters, cotreatment with melatonin was more effective than cotreatment with metformin in terms of decreasing oxidative stress, reducing bone resorption, and improving microarchitecture and periodontal condition. All of these findings highlight the potential for antioxidants, especially melatonin, to ameliorate doxorubicin-induced alveolar bone toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We previously showed that a 3-week oral metformin (MET) treatment enhances the osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and improves several bone histomorphometric parameters in Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the skeletal effects of extended periods of MET need to be completely elucidated. Hence, in this study, the impact of a prolonged (3-month) MET treatment was investigated on bone architecture, histomorphometric and biomechanics variables, and osteogenic potential of BMSCs in Wistar rats with or without MetS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Young male Wistar rats (n=36) were randomized into four groups (n=9) that received either 20% fructose (F), MET (MET), F plus MET treatments (FMET), or drinking water alone (Veh). Rats were euthanized, blood was collected, and bones were dissected and processed for peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) analysis, static and dynamic histomorphometry, and bone biomechanics. In addition, BMSCs were isolated to determine their osteogenic potential. RESULTS MET affected trabecular and cortical bone, altering bone architecture and biomechanics. Furthermore, MET increased the pro-resorptive profile of BMSCs. In addition, fructose-induced MetS practically did not affect the the structural or mechanical variables of the skeleton. CONCLUSION A 3-month treatment with MET (with or without MetS) affects bone architecture and biomechanical variables in Wistar rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of liraglutide on osteogenesis in human alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the influence of liraglutide on implant-bone integration in rats with T2DM. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Extracting BMSCs from the alveoli of diabetic patients treated with insulin. BMSCs were treated with different concentrations of liraglutide. Osteogenesis and the underlying mechanism were investigated via ALP detection, ALP staining, Alizarin Red S staining, Western blotting, and RT-PCR. Liraglutide was given to Wistar and GK rats after implantation, and new bone formation around the implants was analyzed via micro-CT. Implant-bone integration in rats was investigated via toluidine blue staining. RESULTS Liraglutide enhanced osteogenesis in BMSCs via the BMP2/Smad/Runx2 signaling pathway. The optimal concentration of liraglutide that promoted osteogenesis was 10-8 mol/L. At concentrations higher than 10-7 mol/L, liraglutide had a negative effect on BMSCs. At a concentration of 10-8 mol/L liraglutide, BMSCs and diabetes mellitus-bone marrow stromal cells (DM-BMSCs) showed optimal osteogenesis. Liraglutide promoted implant-bone integration and new bone formation in Wistar and GK rats. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide not only promotes osteogenesis of BMSCs in normoglycemic individuals but also enhances osteogenesis of BMSCs in diabetic patients treated with insulin and enhances osseointegration in rats.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a significant health problem globally and is linked to a number of complications such as cardiovascular disease, bone fragility and periodontitis. Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are a promising therapeutic approach for bone and periodontal regeneration; however, the effect of T2DM on the expression of osteogenic and periodontal markers in BM-MSCs is not fully established. Furthermore, the effect of the presence of comorbidities such as diabetes and osteoarthritis on BM-MSCs is also yet to be investigated. In the present study, BM-MSCs were isolated from osteoarthritic knee joints of diabetic and nondiabetic donors. Both cell groups were compared for their clonogenicity, proliferation rates, MSC enumeration and expression of surface markers. Formation of calcified deposits and expression of osteogenic and periodontal markers were assessed after 1, 2 and 3 weeks of basal and osteogenic culture. Diabetic and nondiabetic BM-MSCs showed similar clonogenic and growth potentials along with comparable numbers of MSCs. However, diabetic BM-MSCs displayed lower expression of periostin (POSTN) and cementum protein 1 (CEMP-1) at Wk3 osteogenic and Wk1 basal cultures, respectively. BM-MSCs from T2DM patients might be suitable candidates for stem cell-based therapeutics. However, further investigations into these cells' behaviours in vitro and in vivo under inflammatory environments and hyperglycaemic conditions are still required.

Abstract
Metformin is a versatile drug with numerous medical uses. It is known primarily as an anti-hyperglycemic drug that has become the main oral blood-glucose-lowering medication for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus globally. Its use has been reported in a variety of oral conditions and dentistry in general. Recent clinical trials have indicated the effectiveness of adjunct topical application of metformin in improving the periodontal parameters of patients with diabetes and periodontitis. Additionally, studies have suggested that metformin stimulates odontogenic differentiation and mineral synthesis of stem cells in the tooth pulp. Metformin also stimulates osteoblast proliferation, decreases osteoclast activity and exerts regenerative effects on periodontal bone, thus making it a viable candidate for periodontal regeneration. Metformin monotherapy significantly enhances osseointegration of endosseous implants and has been reported to have anti-cancer effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma by impeding tumor progression. Animal studies have indicated that metformin improves orthodontic tooth movement and resists orthodontic appliance corrosion. This narrative review aims to provide a current summary of research highlighting the prospective uses of metformin in dentistry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Injectable and self-setting calcium phosphate cement scaffold (CPC) capable of encapsulating and delivering stem cells and bioactive agents would be highly beneficial for dental and craniofacial repairs. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel injectable CPC scaffold encapsulating human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and metformin (Met) for bone engineering; (2) test bone regeneration efficacy in vitro and in vivo. METHODS hPDLSCs were encapsulated in degradable alginate fibers, which were then mixed into CPC paste. Five groups were tested: (1) CPC control; (2) CPC + hPDLSC-fibers + 0% Met (CPC + hPDLSCs + 0%Met); (3) CPC + hPDLSC-fibers + 0.1% Met (CPC + hPDLSCs + 0.1%Met); (4) CPC + hPDLSC-fibers + 0.2% Met (CPC + hPDLSCs + 0.2%Met); (5) CPC + hPDLSC-fibers + 0.4% Met (CPC + hPDLSCs + 0.4%Met). The injectability, mechanical properties, metformin release, and hPDLSC osteogenic differentiation and bone mineral were determined in vitro. A rat cranial defect model was used to evaluate new bone formation. RESULTS The novel construct had good injectability and physical properties. Alginate fibers degraded in 7 days and released hPDLSCs, with 5-fold increase of proliferation (p<0.05). The ALP activity and mineral synthesis of hPDLSCs were increased by Met delivery (p<0.05). Among all groups, CPC+hPDLSCs+ 0.1%Met showed the greatest cell mineralization and osteogenesis, which were 1.5-10 folds those without Met (p<0.05). Compared to CPC control, CPC+hPDLSCs+ 0.1%Met enhanced bone regeneration in rats by 9 folds, and increased vascularization by 3 folds (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel injectable construct with hPDLSC and Met encapsulation demonstrated excellent efficacy for bone regeneration and vascularization in vivo in an animal model. CPC+hPDLSCs+ 0.1%Met is highly promising for dental and craniofacial applications.

Abstract
The regeneration of diabetic bone defects remains challenging. Hyperglycemia causes inflammation state and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) during bone regeneration period. These two effects reinforce one another and create an endless loop that is also accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. However, there is still no effective and inclusive method targeting at the two aspects and breaking the vicious cycle. Herein, nanoparticles-Met@ZIF-8(metformin loaded zeolitic imidazolate frameworks) modified hydrogel that is capable of releasing metformin and Zn elements are constructed. This hydrogel treats hyperglycemia while also controlling mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation, and restoring homeostasis. In addition, the synergetic effect from metformin and Zn ions inhibits ROS-inflammation cascade generation and destroys the continuous progress by taking effects in both ROS and inflammation and further keeping organelles' homeostasis. Furthermore, with the recovery of mitochondria and breakdown of the ROS-inflammation cascade cycle, osteogenesis under a diabetic microenvironment is enhanced in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, the study provides critical insight into the biological mechanism and potential therapy for diabetic bone regeneration.

Abstract
The failure rate of dental implantation in patients with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is higher than that in non-diabetic patients. This due, in part, to the impaired function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from the jawbone marrow of T2DM patients (DM-BMSCs), limiting implant osseointegration. RNA N6-methyladenine (m6A) is important for BMSC function and diabetes regulation. However, it remains unclear how to best regulate m6A modifications in DM-BMSCs to enhance function. Based on the "m6A site methylation stoichiometry" of m6A single nucleotide arrays, we identified 834 differential m6A-methylated genes in DM-BMSCs compared with normal-BMSCs (N-BMSCs), including 43 and 790 m6A hypermethylated and hypomethylated genes, respectively, and 1 gene containing hyper- and hypomethylated m6A sites. Differential m6A hypermethylated sites were primarily distributed in the coding sequence, while hypomethylated sites were mainly in the 3'-untranslated region. The largest and smallest proportions of m6A-methylated genes were on chromosome 1 and 21, respectively. MazF-PCR and real-time RT-PCR results for the validation of erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 like 3, activity-dependent neuroprotector homeobox (ADNP), growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), and regulator of G protein signalling 2 agree with m6A single nucleotide array results; ADNP and GDF11 mRNA expression decreased in DM-BMSCs. Furthermore, gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses suggested that most of these genes were enriched in metabolic processes. This study reveals the differential m6A sites of DM-BMSCs compared with N-BMSCs and identifies candidate target genes to enhance BMSC function and improve implantation success in T2DM patients.

Canagliflozin promotes osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 differentiation via AMPK/RUNX2 and improves bone microarchitecture in type 2 diabetic mice. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1081039. [PMID: 36589840 PMCID: PMC9800613 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1081039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of bone metabolic disorders and bone fracture due to disease progression and clinical treatment. The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, now greatly prescribed for the treatment of T2DM, on bone metabolism is not clear. This study aimed to explore the possible influence of bone metabolic disorder and the underlying mechanism through a comparison of three different SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin) in the treatment of type 2 diabetic mice. For the in vivo experiments, four groups (DM, DM+Cana, DM+Dapa, and DM+Empa) were established using micro-CT to detect the bone microarchitecture and bone-related parameters. The study results indicated that canagliflozin, but not dapagliflozin or empagliflozin, increased bone mineral density (p<0.05) and improved bone microarchitecture in type 2 diabetic mice. Furthermore, canagliflozin promoted osteoblast differentiation at a concentration of 5 μM under high glucose concentration (HG). Phosphorylated adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α (Thr172) has been confirmed to activate run-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2) to perform this function. This effect can be partially reversed by the AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin (compound C) and strengthened by the AMPK activator acadesine (AICAR) in vitro. The level trend of RUNX2 and p-AMPK in vivo were consistent with those in vitro. This study suggested that canagliflozin played a beneficial role in bone metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice compared with dapagliflozin and empagliflozin. It provides some theoretical support for the chosen drugs, especially for patients with osteoporosis or a high risk of fracture.

Effects of Metformin Delivery via Biomaterials on Bone and Dental Tissue Engineering. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415905. [PMID: 36555544 PMCID: PMC9779818 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a promising approach that uses seed-cell-scaffold drug delivery systems to reconstruct bone defects caused by trauma, tumors, or other diseases (e.g., periodontitis). Metformin, a widely used medication for type II diabetes, has the ability to enhance osteogenesis and angiogenesis by promoting cell migration and differentiation. Metformin promotes osteogenic differentiation, mineralization, and bone defect regeneration via activation of the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Bone tissue engineering depends highly on vascular networks for adequate oxygen and nutrition supply. Metformin also enhances vascular differentiation via the AMPK/mechanistic target of the rapamycin kinase (mTOR)/NLR family pyrin domain containing the 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling axis. This is the first review article on the effects of metformin on stem cells and bone tissue engineering. In this paper, we review the cutting-edge research on the effects of metformin on bone tissue engineering. This includes metformin delivery via tissue engineering scaffolds, metformin-induced enhancement of various types of stem cells, and metformin-induced promotion of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and its regulatory pathways. In addition, the dental, craniofacial, and orthopedic applications of metformin in bone repair and regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
Animal studies have ascertained that hyperglycemia adversely affects bone metabolism and dental implant osseointegration. However, diabetic patients show low occurrence of unfavorable hard or soft peri-implant tissue changes, differences that are possibly due to treatment with anti-diabetic medications. This scoping review aimed to systematically examine the effects of these drugs on implant outcomes and explore the predictive modality of animal studies for clinical practice according to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EBSCOHost, and Cochrane) were searched according to the PRISMA-ScR standards for studies on diabetic animals that received titanium implants and anti-diabetic treatments. Risk assessment was performed using the SYRCLE Risk-of-Bias (RoB) tool. Twenty-one papers were included, encompassing six types of medications. Fifteen studies were on T1DM animals, and only six involved T2DM models. T1DM animals were treated with non-insulin drugs in four investigations, while insulin was utilized in 11 other studies. In T2DM experiments, five administered non-insulin drugs, and only one applied locally delivered insulin. Only insulin in T1DM studies produced a positive influence on bone-implant contact (BIC), bone mineral content, and removal torque values. Inappropriate drug selection, inadequate glycemic control, and high RoB depict a mismatch between the research focus and the translational rationale to clinical practice. There remains a knowledge gap regarding T2DM investigations due to the lack of studies. More data are needed concerning intraoral implants and the performance of osseointegrated implants in patients with a later onset of diabetes. Future research should reflect the pathophysiology and treatment of each type of diabetes to ensure clinical applicability.

Abstract
As clusters of peptides or steroids capable of high-efficiency information transmission, hormones have been substantiated to coordinate metabolism, growth, development, and other physiological processes, especially in bone physiology and repair metabolism. In recent years, the application of hormones for implant osseointegration has become a research hotspot. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant reports on endogenous hormones and their corresponding supplementary preparations to explore the association between hormones and the prognosis of implants. We also discuss the effects and mechanisms of insulin, parathyroid hormone, melatonin, vitamin D, and growth hormone on osseointegration at the molecular and body levels to provide a foothold and guide future research on the systemic conditions that affect the implantation process and expand the relative contraindications of the implant, and the pre-and post-operative precautions. This review shows that systemic hormones can regulate the osseointegration of oral implants through endogenous or exogenous drug-delivery methods.

Metformin enhances the osteogenic activity of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by inhibiting oxidative stress induced by diabetes mellitus: an in vitro and in vivo study. J Periodontal Implant Sci 2022; 53:54-68. [PMID: 36468474 PMCID: PMC9943706 DOI: 10.5051/jpis.2106240312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether metformin (MF) could alleviate the expresssion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improve the osteogenic ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from diabetic rats (drBMSCs) in vitro, and to evaluate the effect of MF on the ectopic osteogenesis of drBMSCs in a nude mouse model in vivo. METHODS BMSCs were extracted from normal and diabetic rats. In vitro, a cell viability assay (Cell Counting Kit-8), tests of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and western blot analysis were first used to determine the cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of drBMSCs that were subjected to treatment with different concentrations of MF (0, 50, 100, 200, 500 μM). The cells were then divided into 5 groups: (1) normal rat BMSCs (the BMSCs derived from normal rats group), (2) the drBMSCs group, (3) the drBMSCs + Mito-TEMPO (10 μM, ROS scavenger) group, (4) the drBMSCs + MF (200 μM) group, and (5) the drBMSCs + MF (200 μM) + H2O2 (50 μM, ROS activator) group. Intracellular ROS detection, a senescence-associated β-galactosidase assay, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays were performed to determine the effects of MF on oxidative stress and osteogenic differentiation in drBMSCs. In vivo, the effect of MF on the ectopic osteogenesis of drBMSCs was evaluated in a nude mouse model. RESULTS MF effectively reduced ROS levels in drBMSCs. The cell proliferation, ALP activity, mineral deposition, and osteogenic-related protein expression of drBMSCs were demonstrably higher in the MF-treated group than in the non-MF-treated group. H2O2 inhibited the effects of MF. In addition, ectopic osteogenesis was significantly increased in drBMSCs treated with MF. CONCLUSIONS MF promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of drBMSCs by inhibiting the oxidative stress induced by diabetes and enhenced the ectopic bone formation of drBMSCs in nude mice.

Abstract
Metformin is a widely accepted first-line hypoglycemic agent in current clinical practice, and it has been applied to the clinic for more than 60 years. Recently, researchers have identified that metformin not only has an efficient capacity to lower glucose but also exerts anti-aging effects by regulating intracellular signaling molecules. With the accelerating aging process and mankind’s desire for a long and healthy life, studies on aging have witnessed an unprecedented boom. Osteoporosis, sarcopenia, degenerative osteoarthropathy, and frailty are age-related diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The decline in motor function is a problem that many elderly people have to face, and in serious cases, they may even fail to self-care, and their quality of life will be seriously reduced. Therefore, exploring potential treatments to effectively prevent or delay the progression of aging-related diseases is essential to promote healthy aging. In this review, we first briefly describe the origin of metformin and the aging of the movement system, and next review the evidence associated with its ability to extend lifespan. Furthermore, we discuss the mechanisms related to the modulation of aging in the musculoskeletal system by metformin, mainly its contribution to bone homeostasis, muscle aging, and joint degeneration. Finally, we analyze the protective benefits of metformin in aging-related diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
Bone microarchitectural parameters significantly contribute to implant fixation strength but the role of bone matrix composition is not well understood. To determine the relative contribution of microarchitecture and bone matrix composition to implant fixation strength, we placed titanium implants in 12-week-old intact Sprague-Dawley rats, ovariectomized-Sprague-Dawley rats, and Zucker diabetic fatty rats. We assessed bone microarchitecture by microcomputed tomography, bone matrix composition by Raman spectroscopy, and implant fixation strength at 2, 6, and 10 weeks postimplantation. A stepwise linear regression model accounted for 83.3% of the variance in implant fixation strength with osteointegration volume/total volume (50.4%), peri-implant trabecular bone volume fraction (14.2%), cortical thickness (9.3%), peri-implant trabecular crystallinity (6.7%), and cortical area (2.8%) as the independent variables. Group comparisons indicated that osseointegration volume/total volume was significantly reduced in the ovariectomy group at Week 2 (~28%) and Week 10 (~21%) as well as in the diabetic group at Week 10 (~34%) as compared with the age matched Sprague-Dawley group. The crystallinity of the trabecular bone was significantly elevated in the ovariectomy group at Week 2 (~4%) but decreased in the diabetic group at Week 10 (~3%) with respect to the Sprague-Dawley group. Our study is the first to show that bone microarchitecture explains most of the variance in implant fixation strength, but that matrix composition is also a contributing factor. Therefore, treatment strategies aimed at improving bone-implant contact and peri-implant bone volume without compromising matrix quality should be prioritized.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) can affect bone metabolism and the bone microenvironment, resulting in impaired bone healing. The mechanisms include oxidative stress, inflammation, the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), etc. Improving bone healing in diabetic patients has important clinical significance in promoting fracture healing and improving bone integration. In this paper, we reviewed the methods of improving bone healing under diabetic conditions, including drug therapy, biochemical cues, hyperbaric oxygen, ultrasound, laser and pulsed electromagnetic fields, although most studies are in preclinical stages. Meanwhile, we also pointed out some shortcomings and challenges, hoping to provide a potential therapeutic strategy for accelerating bone healing in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are a potential clinical material in regenerative medicine applications. Metformin has shown safety and effectiveness as a clinical drug. However, the effect of metformin as a treatment on hUC-MSCs is unclear. Our research aimed to explore the effects of metformin on the osteogenesis, adipogenesis and angiogenesis of hUC-MSCs, and attempted to explain the molecular fluctuations of metformin through the mapping of protein profiles. Proliferation assay, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation induction, cell cycle, flow cytometry, quantitative proteomics techniques and bioinformatics analysis were used to detect the influences of metformin treatment on hUC-MSCs. Our results demonstrated that low concentrations of metformin promoted the proliferation of hUC-MSCs, but high concentrations of metformin inhibited it. Metformin exhibited promotion of osteogenesis but inhibition of adipogenesis. Metformin treated hUC-MSCs up-regulated the expression of osteogenic marker ALP, OCN and RUNX2, but down-regulated the expression of adipogenic markers PPARγ and LPL. Proteomics analysis found that up-regulation of differentially expressed proteins in metformin treatment group involved the biological process of cell migration in Gene Ontology analysis. Metformin enhanced cell migration of HUVEC in a co-culture system, and hUC-MSCs treated with metformin exhibited stronger angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo compared to the hUC-MSCs group. The results of RT-qPCR revealed that the SCF and VEGFR2 were raised in metformin treatment. This study can promote the application of hUC-MSCs treated with metformin to tissue engineering for vascular reconstruction and angiogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osseointegration of oral implants has a low success rate in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is because of the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation in the jawbone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, in which the expression of microRNA(miR)-491-5p is significantly downregulated, as ascertained through gene chip screening. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms involved in the influence of miR-491-5p on osteogenic differentiation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Jawbone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from jawbones of patients with type 2 diabetes and subjected to bioinformatics and functional analyses. Osteogenesis experiments were conducted using the isolated cells and an in vivo model. RESULTS Knockdown and overexpression experiments revealed the positive effects of miR-491-5p expression on osteogenic differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, a dual-luciferase assay revealed that miR-491-5p targeted the SMAD/RUNX2 pathway by inhibiting the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor. CONCLUSIONS miR-491-5p is vital in osteogenic differentiation of jawbone mesenchymal stem cells; its downregulation in type 2 diabetes could be a major cause of decreased osteogenic differentiation. Regulation of miR-491-5p expression could improve osteogenic differentiation of jawbone mesenchymal stem cells in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:18257-18273.

Abstract
Implant dentures become the first choice for denture restoration in patients with tooth loss. However, oral implants often fail in osteoporosis (OP) patients. Melatonin (MT) induces osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), suggesting its therapeutic potential in OP treatment. Long non-coding RNA H19 induces osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while its regulatory mechanism in MT-involved osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs remains elusive. Ovariectomized (OVX) rat was used to construct an OP model, and bone quality was assessed. Meanwhile, the expression of H19, miR-541-3p, MT and adiponectin (APN) was examined by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) or ELISA. The adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were determined by oil red O staining and alizarin red S staining, respectively. The targeting relationships between H19, miR-541-3p and APN mRNA were predicted by bioinformatics and confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results showed that MT, H19 and APN were down-regulated, while miR-541-3p was up-regulated in the OVX rat model. At the cellular level, MT reduced adipogenic differentiation, heightened osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which were reversed by the MT2 selective inhibitor 4-P-PDOT. Overexpressing H19 facilitated the osteogenic differentiation and inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs mediated by MT, while H19 knockdown or overexpressing miR-541-3p had the opposite effect. Moreover, H19 functioned as a competitive endogenous RNA and sponged miR-541-3p, and miR-541-3p targeted APN. Overall, MT modulates the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs by mediating H19/miR-541-3p/APN axis, providing a new reference for the targeted therapy of OP.
