Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are integral to bone remodeling and homeostasis, as they are capable of differentiating into osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. This differentiation is substantially influenced by mechanosensitivity, particularly to tensile strain, which is a prevalent mechanical stimulus known to enhance osteogenic differentiation. This review specifically examines the effects of various cyclic tensile stress (CTS) conditions on BMSC osteogenesis. It delves into the effects of different loading devices, magnitudes, frequencies, elongation levels, dimensionalities, and coculture conditions, providing a comparative analysis that aids identification of the most conducive parameters for the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Subsequently, this review delineates the signaling pathways activated by CTS, such as Wnt/β-catenin, BMP, Notch, MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and Hedgehog, which are instrumental in mediating the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Through a detailed examination of these pathways, this study elucidates the intricate mechanisms whereby tensile strain promotes osteogenic differentiation, offering valuable guidance for optimizing therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing bone regeneration.

NAN FANG YI KE DA XUE XUE BAO = JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY 2024; 44:1227-1235. [PMID: 39051068 PMCID: PMC11270651 DOI: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2024.07.02] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) in osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and the effect of Hmga2 knockdown for promoting bone defect repair. METHODS Bioinformatics studies using the GEO database and Rstudio software identified HMGA2 as a key factor in adipogenic-osteogenic differentiation balance of ADSCs. The protein-protein interaction network of HMGA2 in osteogenic differentiation was mapped using String and visualized with Cytoscape to predict the downstream targets of HMGA2. Primary mouse ADSCs (mADSCs) were transfected with Hmga2 siRNA, and the changes in osteogenic differentiation of the cells were evaluated using alkaline phosphatase staining and Alizarin red S staining. The expressions of osteogenic markers Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcein (OCN) in the transfected cells were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blotting. In a mouse model of critical-sized calvarial defects, mADSCs with Hmga2-knockdown were transplanted into the defect, and bone repair was evaluated 6 weeks later using micro-CT scanning and histological staining. RESULTS GEO database analysis showed that HMGA2 expression was upregulated during adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Protein-protein interaction network analysis suggested that the potential HMGA2 targets in osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs included SMAD7, CDH1, CDH2, SNAI1, SMAD9, IGF2BP3, and ALDH1A1. In mADSCs, Hmga2 knockdown significantly upregulated the expressions of RUNX2, OPN, and OCN and increased cellular alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition. In a critical-sized calvarial defect model, transplantation of mADSCs with Hmga2 knockdown significantly promoted new bone formation. CONCLUSION HMGA2 is a crucial regulator of osteogenic differentiation in ADSCs, and Hmga2 knockdown significantly promotes osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs and accelerates ADSCs-mediated bone defect repair in mice.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have promising potential for bone tissue engineering in bone healing and regeneration. They are regarded as such due to their capacity for self-renewal, multiple differentiation, and their ability to modulate the immune response. However, changes in the molecular pathways and transcription factors of MSCs in osteogenesis can lead to bone defects and metabolic bone diseases. DNA methylation is an epigenetic process that plays an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by regulating gene expression. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the significance of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), Ten-eleven translocation family proteins (TETs), and MSCs signaling pathways about osteogenic differentiation in MSCs. This review focuses on the progress of research in these areas.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 176:116843. [PMID: 38810405 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116843] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis is marked by increased bone marrow adiposity, and treatment with statins for hyperlipidemia often leads to new-onset osteoporosis. Endosome-associated trafficking regulator 1 (ENTR1) has been found to interact with different proteins in pathophysiology, but its exact role in adipogenesis is not yet understood. This research aimed to explore the role of ENTR1 in adipogenesis and to discover a new small molecule that targets ENTR1 for evaluating its effectiveness in treating hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis. We found that ENTR1 expression increased during the adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMSCs). ENTR1 gain- and loss-of-function assays significantly enhanced lipid droplets formation. Mechanistically, ENTR1 binds peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and enhances its expression, thereby elevating adipogenic markers including C/EBPα and LDLR. Therapeutically, AN698/40746067 attenuated adipogenesis by targeting ENTR1 to suppress PPARγ. In vivo, AN698/40746067 reduced bone marrow adiposity and bone loss, as well as prevented lipogenesis-related obesity, inflammation, steatohepatitis, and abnormal serum lipid levels during hyperlipidemia. Together, these findings suggest that ENTR1 facilitates adipogenesis by PPARγ involved in BMSCs' differentiation, and targeted inhibition of ENTR1 by AN698/40746067 may offer a promising therapy for addressing lipogenesis-related challenges and alleviating osteoporosis following hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) culturing of cells is being adopted for developing tissues for various applications such as mechanistic studies, drug testing, tissue regeneration, and animal-free meat. These approaches often involve cost-effective differentiation of stem or progenitor cells. One approach is to exploit architectural cues on a 3D substrate to drive cellular differentiation, which has been shown to be effective in various studies. Although extensive gene expression data from such studies have shown that gene expression patterns might differ, the gene regulatory networks controlling the expression of genes are rarely studied. In this study, we profiled genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) via next-generation sequencing (NGS) in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) driven toward osteogenesis via architectural cues in 3D matrices (3D conditions) and compared with cells in two-dimensional (2D) culture driven toward osteogenesis via soluble osteoinductive factors (OF conditions). The total number of differentially expressed genes was smaller in 3D compared to OF conditions. A distinct set of genes was observed under these conditions that have been shown to control osteogenic differentiation via different pathways. Small RNA sequencing revealed a core set of miRNAs to be differentially expressed under these conditions, similar to those that have been previously implicated in osteogenesis. We also observed a distinct regulation of miRNAs in these samples that can modulate gene expression, suggesting supplementary gene regulatory networks operative under different stimuli. This study provides insights into studying gene regulatory networks for identifying critical nodes to target for enhanced cellular differentiation and reveal the differences in physical and biochemical cues to drive cell fates.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses have recently been attracted to meet the challenge in bone tissue regeneration, repair, healing, dental implants, etc. Among the conventional bio-glasses, a novel quaternary mesoporous nano bio-glass with composition 81S(81SiO2-(16-x)CaO-2P2O5-1Na2O-xMgO) (x = 0, 1.6, 2.4, 4 and 8 mol%) employing Stober's method has been explored for examining the above potential application through in-vitro SBF assay, MTT assay, antimicrobial activity and drug loading and release ability. With increasing the MgO concentration up to 4 mol%, from in-vitro SBF assay, we observe that HAp layer develops on the surface of the nBGs confirmed from XRD, FTIR and FESEM. MTT assay using MG-63 cells confirms the biocompatibility of the nBGs having cell viability >225 % for MGO_4 after 72 h which is more than the clinically used 45S5 bio-glass. We have observed cell viability of >125 % even after 168 h. Moreover, MGO_4 is found to restrict the growth of E. coli by 65 % while S. aureus by 75 %, confirming the antimicrobial activity. Despite an increase in the concentration of magnesium, nBGs are found to be non-toxic towards the RBCs up to 4 mol% of MgO while for 8 %, the hemolysis percentage is >6 % which is toxic. Being confirmed MGO_4 nBG as a bioactive material, various concentrations of drug (Dexamethasone (DEX)) loading and release kinetics are examined. We show that 80 % of loading in case of 10 mg-ml-1 and 70 % of cumulative release in 100 h. The mesoporous structure of MGO_4 having an average pore diameter of 5 nm and surface area of 216 m2 g-1 confirmed from BET supports the loading and release kinetics. We conclude that the quaternary MGO_4 nBG may be employed effectively for bone tissue regeneration due to its high biocompatibility, excellent in-vitro cell viability, antimicrobial response and protracted drug release.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages and can be harvested relatively easily from adults, making them a promising cell source for regenerative therapies. While it is well-known how to consistently differentiate MSCs into adipose, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages by treatment with biochemical factors, the number of studies exploring how to achieve this with mechanical signals is limited. A relatively unexplored area is the effect of cyclic forces on the MSC differentiation. Recently, our group developed a thermoresponsive N-ethyl acrylamide/N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM/NEAM) hydrogel supplemented with gold nanorods that are able to convert near-infrared light into heat. Using light pulses allows for local hydrogel collapse and swelling with physiologically relevant force and frequency. In this study, MSCs are cultured on this hydrogel system with a patterned surface and exposed to intermittent or continuous actuation of the hydrogel for 3 days to study the effect of actuation on MSC differentiation. First, cells are harvested from the bone marrow of three donors and tested for their MSC phenotype, meeting the following criteria: the harvested cells are adherent and demonstrate a fibroblast-like bipolar morphology. They lack the expression of CD34 and CD45 but do express CD73, CD90, and CD105. Additionally, their differentiation potential into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages is validated by the addition of standardized differentiation media. Next, MSCs are exposed to intermittent or continuous actuation, which leads to a significantly enhanced cell spreading compared to nonactuated cells. Moreover, actuation results in nuclear translocation of Runt-related transcription factor 2 and the Yes-associated protein. Together, these results indicate that cyclic mechanical stimulation on a soft, ridged substrate modulates the MSC fate commitment in the direction of osteogenesis.

Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have high self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation potentials and low immunogenicity, so they have attracted much attention in the field of regenerative medicine and have a promising clinical application. MSCs originate from the mesoderm and can differentiate not only into osteoblasts, cartilage, adipocytes, and muscle cells but also into ectodermal and endodermal cell lineages across embryonic layers. To design cell therapy for replacement of damaged tissues, it is essential to understand the signaling pathways, which have a major impact on MSC differentiation, as this will help to integrate the signaling inputs to initiate a specific lineage. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays a vital role in the development of various tissues and organs in the embryo. As a morphogen, Hh not only regulates the survival and proliferation of tissue progenitor and stem populations but also is a critical moderator of MSC differentiation, involving tri-lineage and across embryonic layer differentiation of MSCs. This review summarizes the role of Hh signaling pathway in the differentiation of MSCs to mesodermal, endodermal, and ectodermal cells.

Abstract
Patients with critical illnesses are at higher risk of comorbidities, which can include bone mineral density loss, bone turnover marker increase, and fragility fractures. Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have a higher risk of bone fractures. Since hypermetabolism is a characteristic of ICU patients, such patients are often rapidly affected by systemic deterioration, which often results in systemic wasting disease. Major risk factors for ICU-related bone loss include physical restraint, inflammation, neuroendocrine stress, malnutrition, and medications. A medical history of critical illness should be acknowledged as a risk factor for impaired bone metabolism. Bone loss associated with ICU admission should be recognized as a key component of post-intensive care syndrome, and further research that focuses on treatment protocols and prevention strategies is required. Studies aimed at maintaining gut integrity have emphasized protein administration and nutrition, while research is ongoing to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of anti-resorptive agents and physical therapy. This review examines both current and innovative clinical strategies that are used for identifying risk factors of bone loss. It provides an overview of perioperative outcomes and discusses the emerging novel treatment modalities. Furthermore, the review presents future directions in the treatment of ICU-related bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis results in reduced bone mass and consequent bone fragility. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used for therapeutic purposes, as molecular targets or as useful markers to test new therapies. SOURCES OF DATA A systematic search of different databases to May 2023 was performed to define the role of siRNAs in osteoporosis therapy. Fourteen suitable studies were identified. AREAS OF AGREEMENT SiRNAs may be useful in studying metabolic processes in osteoporosis and identify possible therapeutic targets for novel drug therapies. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY The metabolic processes of osteoporosis are regulated by many genes and cytokines that can be targeted by siRNAs. However, it is not easy to predict whether the in vitro responses of the studied siRNAs and drugs are applicable in vivo. GROWING POINTS Metabolic processes can be affected by the effect of gene dysregulation mediated by siRNAs on various growth factors. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Despite the predictability of pharmacological response of siRNA in vitro, similar responses cannot be expected in vivo.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent chronic joint disease and the leading cause of disability. Currently, no drugs are available to control joint damage or ease the associated pain. The wingless-type (WNT) signalling pathway is vital in OA progression. Excessive activation of the WNT signalling pathway is pertinent to OA progression and severity. Therefore, agonists and antagonists of the WNT pathway are considered potential drug candidates for OA treatment. For example, SM04690, a novel small molecule inhibitor of WNT signalling, has demonstrated its potential in a recent phase III clinical trial as a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD). Therefore, targeting the WNT signalling pathway may be a distinctive approach to developing particular agents helpful in treating OA. This review aims to update the most recent progress in OA drug development by targeting the WNT pathway. In this, we introduce WNT pathways and their crosstalk with other signalling pathways in OA development and highlight the role of the WNT signalling pathway as a key regulator in OA development. Several articles have reviewed the Wnt pathway from different aspects. This candid review provides an introduction to WNT pathways and their crosstalk with other signalling pathways in OA development, highlighting the role of the WNT signalling pathway as a key regulator in OA development with the latest research. Particularly, we emphasise the state-of-the-art in targeting the WNT pathway as a promising therapeutic approach for OA and challenges in their development and the nanocarrier-based delivery of WNT modulators for treating OA.

Abstract
Artificial bone grafting materials such as collagen are gaining interest due to the ease of production and implantation. However, collagen must be supplemented with additional coating materials for improved osteointegration. Here, we report room-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of MgO, a novel method to coat collagen membranes with MgO. Characterization techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electron beam dispersion mapping confirm the chemical nature of the film. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopies show the surface topography and morphology of the collagen fibers were not altered during the ALD of MgO. Slow release of magnesium ions promotes bone growth, and we show the deposited MgO film leaches trace amounts of Mg when incubated in phosphate-buffered saline at 37 °C. The coated collagen membrane had a superhydrophilic surface immediately after the deposition of MgO. The film was not toxic to human cells and demonstrated antibacterial properties against bacterial biofilms. Furthermore, in vivo studies performed on calvaria rats showed MgO-coated membranes (200 and 500 ALD) elicit a higher inflammatory response, leading to an increase in angiogenesis and a greater bone formation, mainly for Col-MgO500, compared to uncoated collagen. Based on the characterization of the MgO film and in vitro and in vivo data, the MgO-coated collagen membranes are excellent candidates for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Special AT-rich binding protein 1 (SATB1), a chromatin organizer and global transcriptional regulator, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and immune response. However, its function in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the role of SATB1 in osteogenesis. METHODS BMSCs were collected from the type 2 diabetes rat model and the protein and gene expression of SATB1 and osteospecific genes were evaluated post osteogenic induction. RESULTS SATB1 protein expression significantly decreased in diabetic rat BMSCs whereas it increased in BMSCs following osteogenic induction. SATB1 knockdown significantly suppressed the expression of osteospecific genes, including alkaline phosphatase (Alp), runt-related transcription factor 2, and osteocalcin, and reduced the number of mineral deposits and ALP activity, whereas SATB1 overexpression yielded the opposite results. Moreover, SATB1 knockdown suppressed activation of the MAPK signalling pathway (phosphorylation of p38 and ERK), and MAPK pathway inhibitors could reverse the inhibitory effect of SATB1 knockdown on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSION SATB1 plays a key role in the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the p38 MAPK and ERK MAPK signalling pathways. These findings may provide a new strategy for the application of BMSCs in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Numerous intrinsic factors regulate mesenchymal progenitor commitment to a specific cell fate, such as osteogenic or adipogenic lineages. Identification and modulation of novel intrinsic regulatory factors represent an opportunity to harness the regenerative potential of mesenchymal progenitors. In the present study, the transcription factor (TF) ZIC1 was identified to be differentially expressed among adipose compared with skeletal-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells. We observed that ZIC1 overexpression in human mesenchymal progenitors promotes osteogenesis and prevents adipogenesis. ZIC1 knockdown demonstrated the converse effects on cell differentiation. ZIC1 misexpression was associated with altered Hedgehog signaling, and the Hedgehog antagonist cyclopamine reversed the osteo/adipogenic differentiation alterations associated with ZIC1 overexpression. Finally, human mesenchymal progenitor cells with or without ZIC1 overexpression were implanted in an ossicle assay in NOD-SCID gamma mice. ZIC1 overexpression led to significantly increased ossicle formation in comparison to the control, as assessed by radiographic and histologic measures. Together, these data suggest that ZIC1 represents a TF at the center of osteo/adipogenic cell fate determinations-findings that have relevance in the fields of stem cell biology and therapeutic regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Ideal bone tissue engineering is to induce bone regeneration through the synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolds, bone progenitor cells, and bone-forming factors. Biomimetic scaffolds imitate the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and are often utilized in vitro as analogues of the natural ECM to facilitate investigations of cell-ECM interactions and processes. In vivo, the cellular microenvironment has a crucial impact on regulating cell behavior and functions. A PET surface was activated and then functionalized with mimetic peptides to promote human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) adhesion and differentiation into an osteogenic lineage. Spray technology was used to randomly micropattern peptides (RGD and BMP-2 mimetic peptides) on the PET surface. The distribution of the peptides grafted on the surface, the roughness of the surfaces and the chemistry of the surfaces in each step of the treatment were ascertained by atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, Toluidine Blue O assay, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Subsequently, cell lineage differentiation was evaluated by quantifying the expression of immunofluorescence markers: osteoblast markers (Runx-2, OPN) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and SOST). In this article, we hypothesized that a unique combination of bioactive micro/nanopatterns on a polymer surface improves the rate of morphology change and enhances hMSC differentiation. In DMEM, after 14 days, disordered micropatterned surfaces with RGD and BMP-2 led to a higher osteoblast marker expression than surfaces with a homogeneous dual peptide conjugation. Finally, hMSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) showed accelerated cell differentiation. In ODM, our results highlighted the expression of osteocyte markers when hMSCs were seeded on PET surfaces with random micropatterns.

Prenatal exposure to crude oil vapor reduces differentiation potential of rat fetal mesenchymal stem cells by regulating ERK1/2 and PI3K signaling pathways: Protective effect of quercetin. Reprod Toxicol 2023; 120:108440. [PMID: 37467934 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2023.108440] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
It has been indicated that crude oil vapor (COV) induces tissue damage by several molecular mechanisms. Quercetin (QT) as an important component of food with antioxidant properties has a protective role against cell toxicity caused by many pollutants. However, data related to the adverse effects of crude oil vapor (COV) on stem cell fate and differentiation and the role of quercetin (QT) in protecting stem cells against the toxicity caused by these pollutants is very limited. This study aimed to explore the protective effect of QT against the adverse effects of COV on fetal mesenchymal stem cells (fMSCs) differentiation. Twenty-four pregnant Wistar rats were categorized into 4 groups including the control, COV, COV+QT, and QT. Rats were exposed to COV from gestational day (GD) 0-15 and received QT by gavage. The fMSCs were isolated from fetuses, and cell proliferation, differentiation potential, expression of osteogenesis and adipogenesis-related genes, and phosphorylation of PI3K and ERK1/2 signaling proteins were evaluated. The results showed that COV reduced the proliferation and differentiation of fMSCs through the activation of PI3K and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Also, COV significantly decreased the expression of osteonectin, ALP, BMP-6, Runx-2, PPARγ, and CREBBP genes in differentiated cells. QT treatment increased the proliferation and differentiation of fMSCs in COV-exposed rats. In conclusion, our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to COV impaired fMSCs differentiation and QT reduced the adverse effects of COV by regulating ERK1/2 and PI3K signaling pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is evidence that individual antioxidants may increase bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with low BMD. However, the association between overall dietary antioxidant intake and BMD is unclear. The objective of this study was to examine how overall dietary antioxidant intake is related to BMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 14,069 people participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2010. Dietary Antioxidant Index (DAI) was calculated from the intake of vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium, and magnesium, which indicates a nutritional tool to assess the overall antioxidant properties of the diet. The correlation between the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) and BMD was examined using multivariate logistic regression models. In addition to fitting smoothing curves, we fitted generalized additive models as well. Furthermore, to ensure data stability and avoid confounding factors, subgroup analysis was also conducted on gender and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS A significant association was demonstrated by the study between CDAI and total spine BMD (β = 0.001, 95% CI 0-0.001, P = 0.00039). And just like that, CDAI was positively correlated with femoral neck (β = 0.003, 95% CI 0.003-0.004, P < 0.00001) and trochanter (β = 0.004, 95% CI 0.003-0.004, P < 0.00001). In the gender subgroup analysis, CDAI maintained a strong positive correlation with femoral neck and trochanter BMD in males and females. Nevertheless, the link with total spine BMD was only observed in males. In addition, in the subgroup analysis stratified by BMI, CDAI showed a significantly positive relation to BMD of the femoral neck and trochanter in each group. However, the significant relationship between CDAI and BMD of the total spine was only maintained when BMI was above 30 kg/m2. CONCLUSION This study found that CDAI correlated positively with femoral neck, trochanter, and total spine BMD. This suggests that intake of a diet rich in antioxidants can reduce the risk of low bone mass and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) can enhance posterolateral spinal fusion (PLSF). The minimum effective dose that may stimulate mesenchymal stem cells however remains unknown. Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polylactic acid (PLA) was combined with recombinant human BMP2 (rhBMP2). We in vitro evaluated proliferation, differentiation, and osteogenic genes of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 μg/mL rhBMP2 doses in this study. Methods In vitro experimental study was designed to proliferation by a real-time quantitative cell analysis system and the osteogenic differentiation by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic marker (Runx2, OPN, and OCN) gene expressions of human derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs). nHAp was produced by wet chemical process and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. PEG/PLA polymer was produced at a 51:49 molar ratio. 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 μg/mL rhBMP2 and nHAp was combined with the polymers. hBMMSCs were characterized by multipotency assays and surface markers were assessed by flow cytometer. The hBMMSC-rhBMP2 containing nHAp-PEG/PLA composite interaction was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Proliferative effect was evaluated by real-time proliferation analysis, and osteogenic capacity was evaluated by ALP activity assay and qPCR. Results hBMMSC proliferation in the 0.5 μg/mL rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA and the 1.0 μg/mL rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA groups were higher compared to control. 1.0 μg/mL rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA and 3.0 μg/mL rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA containing composites induced ALP activity on days 3 and 10. 0.5 μg/mL rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA application stimulated Runx2 and OPN gene expressions. Conclusion rhBMP2 + nHAp-PEG/PLA composites stimulate hBMMSC proliferation and differentiation. The nHAp-PEG/PLA composite with low dose of rhBMP2 may enhance bone formation in future clinical PLSF applications.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive therapeutic tool for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine owing to their regenerative and trophic properties. The best-known and most widely used are bone marrow MSCs, which are currently being harvested and developed from a wide range of adult and perinatal tissues. MSCs from different sources are believed to have different secretion potentials and production, which may influence their therapeutic effects. To confirm this, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis based on the TMT technique of MSCs from three different sources: Wharton's jelly (WJ), dental pulp (DP), and bone marrow (BM). Our analysis focused on MSC biological properties of interest for tissue engineering. We identified a total of 611 differentially expressed human proteins. WJ-MSCs showed the greatest variation compared with the other sources. WJ produced more extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and ECM-affiliated proteins and proteins related to the inflammatory and immune response processes. BM-MSCs expressed more proteins involved in osteogenic, adipogenic, neuronal, or muscular differentiation and proteins involved in paracrine communication. Compared to the other sources, DP-MSCs overexpressed proteins involved in the exocytosis process. The results obtained confirm the existence of differences between WJ, DP, and BM-MSCs and the need to select the MSC origin according to the therapeutic objective sought.

Abstract
Bone disorders are major health issues requiring specialized care; however, the traditional bone grafting method had several limitations. Thus, bone tissue engineering has become a potential alternative. In therapeutic treatments, using fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a culture supplement may result in the risk of contamination and host immunological response; therefore, human platelet lysate (hPL) has been considered a viable alternative source. This study attempted to compare the effectiveness and safety of different culture supplements, either FBS or hPL, on the osteoblastic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human amniotic fluid (hAF-MSCs) under a three-dimensional gelatin scaffold. The results indicate that hAF-MSCs have the potential to be used in clinical applications as they meet the criteria for mesenchymal stem cells based on their morphology, the expression of a particular surface antigen, their proliferation ability, and their capacity for multipotent differentiation. After evaluation by MTT and Alamar blue proliferation assay, 10% of hPL was selected. The osteogenic differentiation of hAF-MSCs under three-dimensional gelatin scaffold using osteogenic-induced media supplemented with hPL was achievable and markedly stimulated osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, the expressions of osteoblastogenic related genes, including OCN, ALP, and COL1A1, exhibited the highest degree of expression under hPL-supplemented circumstances when compared with the control and the FBS-supplemented group. The induced cells under hPL-supplemented conditions also presented the highest ALP activity level and the greatest degree of calcium accumulation. These outcomes would indicate that hPL is a suitable substitute for animal derived serum. Importantly, osteogenic differentiation of human amniotic fluid derived mesenchymal stem cells using hPL-supplemented media and three-dimensional scaffolds may open the door to developing an alternative construct for repairing bone defects.

Abstract
Desert-living Cistanche herb (DC), as a traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying kidney yang, is often used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Total phenylethanoid glycosides are instruction ingredients for discrimination and assay according to the China pharmacopoeia for DC. This research aimed to reveal the anti-osteoporosis mechanism of total phenylethanoid glycosides of DC (PGC) by transcriptomic analysis of ovariectomized rats. Serum levels of BGP were evaluated by ELISA, the bone weight was measured, and transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the ultrastructure of osteoblasts in rats. In addition, micro-CT was used to detect the bone volume (Tb.BS/BV), bone mineral density (Tb.BMD), and bone mineral content (Tb.BMC) in trabecular bone, and the ratio of cortical bone area to total area (Ct.ar/Tt.ar), and the level of bone mineral content (Ct.BMC) in cortical bone. Differential expressed genes (DEGs) after PGC treatment were analyzed by transcriptomics. Then, a bioinformatics analysis of DEGs was carried out through GO enrichment, KEGG enrichment, and selection of the nucleus gene through the protein-protein interaction network. Through qRT-PCR analysis, the DEGs were verified. The analysis results indicated that PGC increased the secretion of osteogenic markers, and ultrastructural characterization of osteoblasts and bone morphology were improved in ovariectomized rats. A total of 269 genes were differentially expressed, including 201 genes that were downregulated and 68 genes that were upregulated between the model group and the PGC group. Bioinformation analysis results prompt the conclusion that PGC could promote the bone metabolism by muscle cell development, myofibril assembly, etc. In addition, our study also found that PGC has a good effect on osteoporosis complicated with cardiomyopathy, and it also provided evidence for the correlation between sarcopenia and osteoporosis.

Abstract
The balance between bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts is essential for the bone remodeling process. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ishophloroglucin A (IPA) isolated from Ishige okamurae on the function of osteoclasts and osteoblasts in vitro. First, we demonstrated the effect of IPA on osteoclastogenesis in receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. IPA inhibited the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and osteoclast differentiation in RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, it inhibited the RANKL-induced osteoclast-related factors, such as TRAP, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and calcitonin receptor (CTR), and transcription factors, such as nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) and c-Fos. IPA significantly suppressed RANKL-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and NF-κB in RAW 264.7 cells. Our data indicated that the ERK and NF-κB pathways were associated with the osteoclastogenesis inhibitory activity of IPA. Next, we demonstrated the effect of IPA on osteoblastogenesis in MG-63 cells. IPA significantly promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in MG-63 cells, along with the osteoblast differentiation-related markers bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), type 1 collage (COL1), p-Smad1/5/8, and Runx2, by activating the MAPK signaling pathways. Taken together, the study indicated that IPA could be effective in treating bone diseases, such as osteoporosis.

High-glutathione mesenchymal stem cells isolated using the FreSHtracer probe enhance cartilage regeneration in a rabbit chondral defect model. Biomater Res 2023; 27:54. [PMID: 37259149 PMCID: PMC10233867 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-023-00398-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source for cartilage regeneration. However, the function of MSC can vary according to cell culture conditions, donor age, and heterogeneity of the MSC population, resulting in unregulated MSC quality control. To overcome these limitations, we previously developed a fluorescent real-time thiol tracer (FreSHtracer) that monitors cellular levels of glutathione (GSH), which are known to be closely associated with stem cell function. In this study, we investigated whether using FreSHtracer could selectively separate high-functioning MSCs based on GSH levels and evaluated the chondrogenic potential of MSCs with high GSH levels to repair cartilage defects in vivo. METHODS Flow cytometry was conducted on FreSHtracer-loaded MSCs to select cells according to their GSH levels. To determine the function of FreSHtracer-isolated MSCs, mRNA expression, migration, and CFU assays were conducted. The MSCs underwent chondrogenic differentiation, followed by analysis of chondrogenic-related gene expression. For in vivo assessment, MSCs with different cellular GSH levels or cell culture densities were injected in a rabbit chondral defect model, followed by histological analysis of cartilage-regenerated defect sites. RESULTS FreSHtracer successfully isolated MSCs according to GSH levels. MSCs with high cellular GSH levels showed enhanced MSC function, including stem cell marker mRNA expression, migration, CFU, and oxidant resistance. Regardless of the stem cell tissue source, FreSHtracer selectively isolated MSCs with high GSH levels and high functionality. The in vitro chondrogenic potential was the highest in pellets generated by MSCs with high GSH levels, with increased ECM formation and chondrogenic marker expression. Furthermore, the MSCs' function was dependent on cell culture conditions, with relatively higher cell culture densities resulting in higher GSH levels. In vivo, improved cartilage repair was achieved by articular injection of MSCs with high levels of cellular GSH and MSCs cultured under high-density conditions, as confirmed by Collagen type 2 IHC, Safranin-O staining and O'Driscoll scores showing that more hyaline cartilage was formed on the defects. CONCLUSION FreSHtracer selectively isolates highly functional MSCs that have enhanced in vitro chondrogenesis and in vivo hyaline cartilage regeneration, which can ultimately overcome the current limitations of MSC therapy.

Abstract
The repair of bone defects resulting from high-energy trauma, infection, or pathological fracture remains a challenge in the field of medicine. The development of biomaterials involved in the metabolic regulation provides a promising solution to this problem and has emerged as a prominent research area in regenerative engineering. While recent research on cell metabolism has advanced our knowledge of metabolic regulation in bone regeneration, the extent to which materials affect intracellular metabolic remains unclear. This review provides a detailed discussion of the mechanisms of bone regeneration, an overview of metabolic regulation in bone regeneration in osteoblasts and biomaterials involved in the metabolic regulation for bone regeneration. Furthermore, it introduces how materials, such as promoting favorable physicochemical characteristics (e.g., bioactivity, appropriate porosity, and superior mechanical properties), incorporating external stimuli (e.g., photothermal, electrical, and magnetic stimulation), and delivering metabolic regulators (e.g., metal ions, bioactive molecules like drugs and peptides, and regulatory metabolites such as alpha ketoglutarate), can affect cell metabolism and lead to changes of cell state. Considering the growing interests in cell metabolic regulation, advanced materials have the potential to help a larger population in overcoming bone defects.

Abstract
While obesity is a well-known health threatening condition worldwide, effective pharmacological interventions for obesity suppression have been limited due to adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to explore alternative medical treatments for combating obesity. Inhibition of the adipogenesis process and lipid accumulation are critical targets for controlling and treating obesity. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is a traditional herbal remedy for various ailments. A natural product from its fruit, genipin, has major pharmacological properties; it is anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. We investigated the effects of a genipin analogue, G300, on adipogenic differentiation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). G300 suppressed the expression of adipogenic marker genes and adipokines secreted by adipocytes at concentrations of 10 and 20 μM, which effectively reduced the adipogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs and lipid accumulation in adipocytes. It also improved adipocyte function by lowering inflammatory cytokine secretion and increasing glucose uptake. For the first time, we show that G300 has the potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity and its related disorders.

Amniotic Fluid Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Derived from Fetuses with Isolated Cardiac Defects Exhibit Decreased Proliferation and Cardiomyogenic Potential. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12040552.

Abstract
Amniotic fluid mesenchymal stromal cells (AF-MSCs) represent an autologous cell source to ameliorate congenital heart defects (CHDs) in children. The AF-MSCs, having cardiomyogenic potential and being of fetal origin, may reflect the physiological and pathological changes in the fetal heart during embryogenesis. Hence, the study of defects in the functional properties of these stem cells during fetal heart development will help obtain a better understanding of the cause of neonatal CHDs. Therefore, in the present study, we compared the proliferative and cardiomyogenic potential of AF-MSCs derived from ICHD fetuses (ICHD AF-MSCs) with AF-MSCs from structurally normal fetuses (normal AF-MSCs). Compared to normal AF-MSCs, the ICHD AF-MSCs showed comparable immunophenotypic MSC marker expression and adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential, with decreased proliferation, higher senescence, increased expression of DNA-damaged genes, and osteogenic differentiation potential. Furthermore, the expression of cardiac progenitor markers (PDGFR-α, VEGFR-2, and SSEA-1), cardiac transcription factors (GATA-4, NKx 2-5, ISL-1, TBX-5, TBX-18, and MeF-2C), and cardiovascular markers (cTNT, CD31, and α-SMA) were significantly reduced in ICHD AF-MSCs. Overall, these results suggest that the AF-MSCs of ICHD fetuses have proliferation defects with significantly decreased cardiomyogenic differentiation potential. Thus, these defects in ICHD AF-MSCs highlight that the impaired heart development in ICHD fetuses may be due to defects in the stem cells associated with heart development during embryogenesis.

Early adipogenesis is repressed through the newly identified FHL2-NFAT5 signaling complex. Cell Signal 2023; 104:110587. [PMID: 36610523 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110587] [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: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
The LIM-domain-only protein FHL2 is a modulator of signal transduction and has been shown to direct the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards osteoblast and myocyte phenotypes. We hypothesized that FHL2 may simultaneously interfere with the induction of the adipocyte lineage. Therefore, we investigated the role of FHL2 in adipocyte differentiation. For these studies pre-adipocytes isolated from mouse adipose tissue and the 3T3-L1 (pre)adipocyte cell line were applied. We performed FHL2 gain of function and knockdown experiments followed by extensive RNAseq analyses and phenotypic characterization of the cells by oil-red O (ORO) lipid staining. Through affinity-purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) novel FHL2 interacting proteins were identified. Here we report that FHL2 is expressed in pre-adipocytes and for accurate adipocyte differentiation, this protein needs to be downregulated during the early stages of adipogenesis. More specifically, constitutive overexpression of FHL2 drastically inhibits adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells, which was demonstrated by suppressed activation of the adipogenic gene expression program as shown by RNAseq analyses, and diminished lipid accumulation. Analysis of the protein-protein interactions mediating this repressive activity of FHL2 on adipogenesis revealed the interaction of FHL2 with the Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5). NFAT5 is an established inhibitor of adipocyte differentiation and its knockdown rescued the inhibitory effect of FHL2 overexpression on 3T3-L1 differentiation, indicating that these proteins act cooperatively. We present a new regulatory function of FHL2 in early adipocyte differentiation and revealed that FHL2-mediated inhibition of pre-adipocyte differentiation is dependent on its interaction with NFAT5. FHL2 expression increases with aging, which may affect mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, more specifically inhibit adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Successful regeneration of critical-size defects remains one of the significant challenges in regenerative engineering. These large-scale bone defects are difficult to regenerate and are often reconstructed with matrices that do not provide adequate oxygen levels to stem cells involved in the regeneration process. Hypoxia-induced necrosis predominantly occurs in the center of large matrices since the host tissue's local vasculature fails to provide sufficient nutrients and oxygen. Indeed, utilizing oxygen-generating materials can overcome the central hypoxic region, induce tissue in-growth, and increase the quality of life for patients with extensive tissue damage. This article reviews recent advances in oxygen-generating biomaterials for translational bone regenerative engineering. We discussed different oxygen-releasing and delivery methods, fabrication methods for oxygen-releasing matrices, biology, oxygen's role in bone regeneration, and emerging new oxygen delivery methods that could potentially be used for bone regenerative engineering.

Abstract
Each person is inevitably exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation (LDIR) throughout their life. The research results of LDIR effects are ambiguous and an accurate assessment of the risks associated with the influence of LDIR is an important task. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are the regenerative reserve of an adult organism; because of this, they are a promising model for studying the effects of LDIR. The qualitative and quantitative changes in their characteristics can also be considered promising criteria for assessing the risks of LDIR exposure. The MSCs from human connective gingiva tissue (hG-MSCs) were irradiated at doses of 50, 100, 250, and 1000 mGy by the X-ray unit RUST-M1 (Russia). The cells were cultured continuously for 64 days after irradiation. During the study, we evaluated the secretory profile of hG-MSCs (IL-10, IDO, IL-6, IL-8, VEGF-A) using an ELISA test, the immunophenotype (CD45, CD34, CD90, CD105, CD73, HLA-DR, CD44) using flow cytometry, and the proliferative activity using the xCelligence RTCA cell analyzer at the chosen time points. The results of study have indicated the development of stimulating effects in the early stages of cultivation after irradiation using low doses of X-ray radiation. On the contrary, the effects of the low doses were comparable with the effects of medium doses of X-ray radiation in the long-term periods of cultivation after irradiation and have indicated the inhibition of the functional activity of MSCs.

Abstract
Lipomas are slow growing benign fat tumors that develop in soft tissues of the mesoderm. Thus, the specific (dys-)function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been suggested in the development of lipomas, but details of the tumor pathogenesis remain unclear. Existing studies comparing stem cells from native adipose (adipose stem cells [ASCs]) and lipomatous tissues (LSCs) have reported contradicting findings. However, harvesting ASCs and LSCs from different individuals might have influenced proper comparison. Therefore, we aimed to characterize donor-matched ASCs and LSCs to investigate metabolic activity, proliferation, capability for tri-linear differentiation (chondrogenesis, adipogenesis, osteogenesis), and the secretome of mature adipocytes and lipomacytes. Both stem cell types did not differ in metabolic activity, but ASCs demonstrated stronger proliferation than LSCs. While there was no difference in proteoglycan accumulation during chondrogenic differentiation, adipogenesis was higher in ASCs, with more lipid vacuole formation. Conversely, LSCs showed increased osteogenesis by higher calcium deposition. Lipomacytes showed stronger secretory activity and released higher levels of certain adipokines. Our findings indicated that LSCs possessed important characteristics of MSCs, including ASCs. However, LSCs' low proliferation and adipogenic differentiation behavior did not appear to account for enhanced tissue proliferation, but the secretome of lipomacytes could contribute to lipomatous neoplasm.

Abstract
The surface topography of titanium dental implants has a great influence on osseointegration. In this work, we try to determine the osteoblastic behavior and gene expression of cells with different titanium surfaces and relate them to the physicochemical properties of the surface. For this purpose, we have used commercial titanium discs of grade 3: as-received corresponds to machined titanium without any surface treatment (MA), chemically acid etched (AE), treated via sand blasting with Al2O3 particles (SB) and a sand-blasting treatment with acid etching (SB+AE). The surfaces have been observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the roughness, wettability and surface energy with dispersive and polar components have been characterized. Osteoblastic cultures were performed with SaOS-2 osteoblastic cells determining cell viability as well as alkaline phosphatase levels for 3 and 21 days, and osteoblastic gene expression was determined. The roughness values of the MA discs was 0.02 μm, which increases to 0.3 μm with acid attack and becomes the maximum for the sand-blasted samples, reaching values of 1.2 μm for SB and SB+AE. The hydrophilic behavior of the MA and AE samples with contact angles of 63° and 65° is superior to that of the rougher samples, being 75° for SB and 82° for SB+AE. In all cases, they show good hydrophilicity. GB and GB+AE surfaces present a higher polar component in the surface energy values, 11.96 and 13.18 mJ/m2, respectively, than AE and MA, 6.64 and 9.79 mJ/m2, respectively. The osteoblastic cell viability values at three days do not show statistically significant differences between the four surfaces. However, the viability of the SB and SB+AE surfaces at 21 days is much higher than that of the AE and MA samples. From the alkaline phosphatase studies, higher values were observed for those treated with sand blasting with and without acid etching compared to the other two surfaces, indicating a greater activity in osteoblastic differentiation. In all cases except in the Osterix (Ostx) -osteoblast-specific transcription factor-a decrease in gene expression is observed in relation to the MA samples (control). The most important increase was observed for the SB+AE condition. A decrease in the gene expression of Osteoprotegerine (OPG), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Receptor Activator of NF-κB Ligand (RANKL) and Alkaline Phosphatase (Alp) genes was observed in the AE surface.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have delivered new healing possibilities to the treatment of soft tissue defects, but the selection of seed cells is critical for treatment. Adipose-derived stem cells have perpetually been a preferred candidate for seed cells due to their wealthy sources, simple access, high plasticity, and powerful value-added capabilities. How to improve the efficiency of adipogenic differentiation is the key to the treatment. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide, as a biologically active peptide secreted by the pituitary, is widely involved in regulating the body's sugar metabolism and lipid metabolism. However, the effects of MPAPO in ADSCs adipogenic differentiation remain unknown. Our results reveal that MPAPO treatment improves the adipogenic differentiation efficiency of ADSCs, including promoting the accumulation of lipid droplets and triglycerides, and the expression of adipocyte protein biomarkers PPARγ and C/EBPa. Additionally, the mechanism studies showed that the effective window of MPAPO-induced adipogenesis was the first 3 days during ADSCs differentiation. MPAPO selectively binds to the PAC1 receptor and promotes adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs by activating the ERK signaling pathway and elevating cell proliferation during postconfluent mitosis stage. Altogether, we demonstrate that MPAPO plays a crucial role in ADSCs adipogenesis, providing experimental basis and data for exploring therapeutic options in tissue defect repair.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the expression of bone remodeling genes by enhancing the activity of Runx2 in osteoblasts. p300, a histone acetyltransferase, acetylated Runx2 to activate the expression of its target genes. PTH stimulated the expression of p300 in rat osteoblastic cells. Increasing studies suggested the potential of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), in regulating gene expression under both physiological and pathological conditions. In this study, we hypothesized that PTH regulates Runx2 activity via ncRNAs-mediated p300 expression in rat osteoblastic cells. Bioinformatics and experimental approaches identified PTH-upregulation of miR-130b-5p and circ_CUX1 that putatively target p300 and miR-130b-5p, respectively. An antisense-mediated knockdown of circ_CUX1 was performed to determine the sponging activity of circ_CUX1. Knockdown of circ_CUX1 promoted miR-130b-5p activity and reduced p300 expression, resulting in decreased Runx2 acetylation in rat osteoblastic cells. Further, bioinformatics analysis identified the possible signaling pathways that regulate Runx2 activity and osteoblast differentiation via circ_CUX1/miR-130b-5p/p300 axis. The predicted circ_CUX1/miR-130b-5p/p300 axis might pave the way for better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have considerable potential in cell therapy. Cryopreservation represents the gold standard in cell storage, but its effect on hUC-MSCs is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one year of cryopreservation and thawing on the biological characteristics of hUC-MSCs from the same donors. Fresh hUC-MSCs were cryopreserved in commercial freezing medium (serum-free CellBanker 2) at passage 2. After one year of cryopreservation, the hUC-MSCs were thawed and subcultured to passage 4. The comparison was performed in terms of followings: cell count, viability, morphology, proliferation capacity, differentiation potential and chromosomal stability. The total cell count and viability of hUC-MSCs before and after one year of cryopreservation were 1 × 107 and 96.34% and 0.943 × 107 and 93.81%, respectively. Cryopreserved and fresh hUC-MSCs displayed a similar cell doubling times, expressed the markers CD73, CD90, CD105 and were negative for the markers CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR. Karyotypes were found to be normal after one year of cryopreservation. The trilineage differentiation properties were maintained after cryopreservation. However, when compared to freshly isolated hUC-MSCs from the same donor, cryopreserved hUC-MSCs exhibited decreased expression of osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related genes including Runx2, Sox9, and Col1a1, and increased expression of adipogenesis-related genes. These results demonstrated that cryopreservation did not affect cell morphology, surface marker expression, cell viability, proliferative capacity, or chromosomal stability. However, the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation capacities of cryopreserved hUC-MSCs were slightly reduced compared with those of fresh cells from the same donor.

Abstract
Bone-related diseases are major contributors to morbidity and mortality in elderly people and the current treatments result in insufficient healing and several complications. One of the promising areas of research for healing bone fractures and skeletal defects is regenerative medicine using stem cells. Differentiating stem cells using agents that shift cell development towards the preferred lineage requires activation of certain intracellular signaling pathways, many of which are known to induce osteogenesis during embryological stages. Imitating embryological bone formation through activation of these signaling pathways has been the focus of many osteogenic studies. Activation of osteogenic signaling can be done by using small molecules. Several of these agents, e.g., statins, metformin, adenosine, and dexamethasone have other clinical uses but have also shown osteogenic capacities. On the other hand, some other molecules such as T63 and tetrahydroquinolines are not as well recognized in the clinic. Osteogenic small molecules exert their effects through the activation of signaling pathways known to be related to osteogenesis. These pathways include more well-known pathways including BMP/Smad, Wnt, and Hedgehog as well as ancillary pathways including estrogen signaling and neuropeptide signaling. In this paper, we review the recent data on small molecule-mediated osteogenic differentiation, possible adjunctive agents with these molecules, and the signaling pathways through which each small molecule exerts its effects.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can irreversibly damage biological molecules, a process known as oxidative stress. Elevated ROS levels are associated with immune cell activation. Sustained immune system activation can affect many different cells in the environment. One cell type that has been detected in almost all tissues of the body is mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). MSC possess proliferation and differentiation potential, thus facilitating regeneration processes. However, the regenerative capacity of MSC might be impaired by oxidative stress, and the effects of long-term oxidative stress on MSC functions are sparsely described. The examination of oxidative stress is often performed by exposure to H2O2. Since H2O2 is rapidly degraded, we additionally exposed the cell cultures to glucose oxidase (GOx), resulting in sustained exposure to H2O2. Using these model systems, we have focused on the effects of short- and long-term oxidative stress on viability, migration, differentiation, and signaling. All cellular functions examined were affected by the applied oxidative stress. The differences that occur between pulsed and sustained oxidative stress indicated higher oxidative stress in MSC upon direct H2O2 exposure, whereas the GOx-induced prolonged exposure to H2O2 seems to allow for better cellular adaptation. The mechanisms underlying these different responses are currently unknown.

How osteogenic is dexamethasone?—effect of the corticosteroid on the osteogenesis, extracellular matrix, and secretion of osteoclastogenic factors of jaw periosteum-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:953516. [DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.953516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Dexamethasone (dexa) is commonly used to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) in vitro. However, it is paradoxical that glucocorticoids (GCs) such as dexa lead to bone loss and increased fracture risk in patients undergoing glucocorticoid therapy, causing glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). In a recent publication, we demonstrated that osteogenic differentiation of progenitor cells isolated from jaw periosteal tissue (JPCs) does not depend on dexa, if the medium is supplemented with human platelet lysate (hPL) instead of fetal bovine serum (FBS). This allows the in vitro conditions to be much closer to the natural situation in vivo and enables us to compare osteogenic differentiation with and without dexa. In the present study, we demonstrate that the absence of dexa did not reduce mineralization capacity, but instead slightly improved the osteogenic differentiation of jaw periosteal cells. On the other hand, we show that dexa supplementation strongly alters the gene expression, extracellular matrix (ECM), and cellular communication of jaw periosteal cells. The secretome of periosteal cells previously treated with an osteogenic medium with and without dexa was used to investigate the changes in paracrine secretion caused by dexa. Dexa altered the secretion of several cytokines by jaw periosteal cells and strongly induced osteoclast differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). This study demonstrates how dexa supplementation can influence the outcome of in vitro studies and highlights a possible role of periosteal cells in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. The methods used here can serve as a model for studying bone formation, fracture healing, and various pathological conditions such as (glucocorticoid-induced) osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone cancer, and others, in which the interactions of osteoblasts with surrounding cells play a key role.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) is the only member of the class IV HDAC, and the latest member identified. It is highly expressed in brain, heart, kidney and some other organs, and located in mitochondria, cytoplasm and nuclei, depending on the tissue and cell types. Although studies in HDAC11 total knockout mice suggest its dispensable features for tissue development and life, it participates in diverse pathophysiological processes, such as DNA replication, tumor growth, immune regulation, oxidant stress injury and neurological function of cocaine. Recent studies have shown that HDAC11 is also critically involved in the pathogenesis of some metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes and complications of diabetes. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on the role and mechanism of HDAC11 in the regulation of metabolic disorders, with the focus on its regulation on adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, metabolic inflammation, glucose tolerance, immune responses and energy consumption. We also discuss the property and selectivity of HDAC11 inhibitors and their applications in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models of metabolic disorders. Given that pharmacological and genetic inhibition of HDAC11 exerts a beneficial effect on various metabolic disorders, HDAC11 may be a potential therapeutic target to treat chronic metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the loss of bone density, which is one of the main problems in developed and developing countries and is more common in the elderly. Because this disease is often not diagnosed until a bone fracture, it can become a life-threatening disease and cause hospitalization. With the increase of older people in a population, this disease's personal and social costs increase year by year and affect different communities. Most current treatments focus on pain relief and usually do not lead to bone tissue recovery and regeneration. But today, the use of stem cell therapy is recommended to treat and improve this disease recovery, which helps restore bone tissue by improving the imbalance in the osteoblast-osteoclast axis. Due to mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) characteristics and their exosomes, these cells and vesicles are excellent sources for treating and preventing the progression and improvement of osteoporosis. Due to the ability of MSCs to differentiate into different cells and migrate to the site of injury, these cells are used in tissue regenerative medicine. Also, due to their contents, the exosomes of these cells help regenerate and treat various tissue injuries by affecting the injury site's cells. In this article, we attempted to review new studies in which MSCs and their exosomes were used to treat osteoporosis.

Collagen Modulates the Biological Characteristics of WJ-MSCs in Basal and Osteoinduced Conditions. Stem Cells Int 2022; 2022:2116367.

Abstract
Transcriptomic analysis revealed mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) from various origins exhibited distinct gene and protein expression profiles dictating their biological properties. Although collagen type 1 (COL) has been widely studied in bone marrow MSCs, its role in regulating cell fate of Wharton jelly- (WJ-) MSCs is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of collagen on the characteristics of WJ-MSCs associated with proliferation, surface markers, adhesion, migration, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities through gene expression studies. The isolated WJ-MSCs expressed positive surface markers but not negative markers. Gene expression profiles showed that COL not only maintained the pluripotency, self-renewal, and immunophenotype of WJ-MSCs but also primed cells toward lineage differentiations by upregulating BMP2 and TGFB1 genes. Upon osteoinduction, WJ-MSC-COL underwent osteogenesis by switching on the transcription of BMP6/7 and TGFB3 followed by activation of downstream target genes such as INS, IGF1, RUNX2, and VEGFR2 through p38 signalling. This molecular event was also accompanied by hypomethylation at the OCT4 promoter and increase of H3K9 acetylation. In conclusion, COL provides a conducive cellular environment in priming WJ-MSCs that undergo a lineage specification upon receiving an appropriate signal from extrinsic factor. These findings would contribute to better control of fate determination of MSCs for therapeutic applications related to bone disease.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is one of the tissues in the human body that is renewed during the whole life. Dysregulation of this process leads to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. The key role in maintaining the healthy state of adipose tissue is played by a specific group of postnatal stem cells called multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). They are both precursors for new adipocytes and key paracrine regulators of adipose tissue homeostasis. The activity of MSCs is tightly adjusted to the needs of the organism. To ensure such coordination, MSCs are put under strict regulation which is realized through a wide variety of signaling mechanisms. They control aspects of MSC activity such as proliferation, differentiation, and production of signal molecules via alteration of MSC sensitivity to hormonal stimuli. In this regard, MSCs use all the main mechanisms of hormonal sensitivity regulation observed in differentiated cells, but at the same time, several unique regulatory mechanisms have been found in MSCs. In the presented review, we will cover these unique mechanisms as well as specifics of common mechanisms of regulation of hormonal sensitivity in stem cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in treating various diseases. However, lack of a reliable evaluation approach to characterize the potency of MSCs has dampened their clinical applications. Here, a function-oriented mathematical model is established to evaluate and predict the regenerative capacity (RC) of MSCs. Processed by exhaustive testing, the model excavates four optimal fitted indices, including nucleus roundness, nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, side-scatter height, and ERK1/2 from the given index combinations. Notably, three of them except ERK1/2 are cell appearance-associated features. The predictive power of the model is validated via screening experiments of these indices by predicting the RC of newly enrolled and chemical inhibitor-treated MSCs. Further RNA-sequencing analysis reveals that cell appearance-based indices may serve as major indicators to visualize the results of integration-weighted signals in and out of cells and reflect MSC stemness. In general, this study proposes an appearance data-driven predictive model for the RC and stemness of MSCs.

Abstract
In human, bone loss is associated with increased marrow adipose tissue and recent data suggest that medullary adipocytes could play a role in osteoporosis by acting on neighboring bone-forming osteoblasts. Supporting this hypothesis, we previously showed, in a coculture model based on human bone marrow stromal cells, that factors secreted by adipocytes induced the conversion of osteoblasts towards an adipocyte-like phenotype. In this work, we employed an original integrative bioinformatics approach connecting proteomic and transcriptomic data from adipocytes and osteoblasts, respectively, to investigate the mechanisms underlying their crosstalk. Our analysis identified a total of 271 predicted physical interactions between adipocyte-secreted proteins and osteoblast membrane protein coding genes and proposed three pathways for their potential contribution to osteoblast transdifferentiation, the PI3K-AKT, the JAK2-STAT3 and the SMAD pathways. Our findings demonstrated the effectiveness of our integrative omics strategy to decipher cell-cell communication events.

Abstract
Adipocyte accumulation in the bone marrow is a severe complication leading to bone defects and reduced regenerative capacity. Application of external mechanical signals to bone marrow cellular niche is a non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical methodology to improve osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis. However, in the literature, the specific parameters related to the nature of low-intensity vibratory (LIV) signals appear to be arbitrarily selected for amplitude, bouts, and applied frequency. In this study, we performed a LIV frequency sweep ranging from 30 to 120 Hz with increments of 15 Hz applied onto preadipocytes during adipogenesis for 10 d. We addressed the effect of LIV with different frequencies on single-cell density, adipogenic gene expression, lipid morphology, and triglycerides content. Results showed that LIV signals with 75-Hz frequency had the most significant suppressive effect during adipogenesis. Our results support the premise that mechanical-based interventions for suppressing adipogenesis may benefit from optimizing input parameters.

Abstract
Osteoblast differentiation requires the interaction of various cell signaling pathways to modulate cell responses. Notch and Wnt signaling are among the crucial pathways that control numerous biological processes, including osteo/odontogenic differentiation. The aim of the present study was to examine the involvement of Wnt signaling in the Jagged1-induced osteo/odontogenic differentiation in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). The Wnt-related gene expression was analyzed from publicly available data of Jagged1-treated human dental pulp cells. The mRNA expression of Wnt ligands (WNT2B, WNT5A, WNT5B, and WNT16) and Wnt inhibitors (DKK1, DKK2, and SOST) were confirmed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Among the Wnt ligands, WNT2B and WNT5A mRNA levels were upregulated after Jagged1 treatment. In contrast, the Wnt inhibitors DKK1, DKK2, and SOST mRNA levels were downregulated. Recombinant WNT5A, but not WNT2B, significantly promoted in vitro mineral deposition by hDPSCs. Wnt signaling inhibition using IWP-2, but not DKK1, inhibited Jagged1-induced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, and osteo/odontogenic marker gene expression in hDPSCs. In conclusion, Jagged1 promoted hDPSC osteo/odontogenic differentiation by modulating the non-canonical Wnt pathway.

[Knockdown of long non-coding RNA MIR4697 host gene inhibits adipogenic differentiation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells]. BEIJING DA XUE XUE BAO. YI XUE BAN = JOURNAL OF PEKING UNIVERSITY.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To preliminarily investigate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MIR4697 host gene (MIR4697HG) in regulating the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). METHODS For adipogenic differentiation, BMSCs were induced in adipogenic media for 10 days. The mRNA expression levels of lncRNA MIR4697HG and adipogenic marker genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT/enhanced binding protein α (CEBP/α) and adiponectin (ADIPQ) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at different time points (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 days). The MIR4697HG stable knockdown-BMSC cell line was generated by infection of MIR4697HG shRNA-containing lentiviruses. To avoid off-target effect, two target sequences (shMIR4697HG-1, shMIR4697HG-2) were designed. And then cells were induced to differentiate in adipogenic medium. Oil red O staining, Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the effect of MIR4697HG knockdown on adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. RESULTS The mRNA expression level of MIR4697HG was significantly increased during adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.01), and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs was evidenced by upregulated mRNA levels of specific adipogenesis-related genes including PPARγ, CEBP/α and ADIPQ. Observed by fluorescence microscopy, more than 90% transfected target cells expressed green fluorescent protein successfully after shMIR4697HG-1 group, shMIR4697HG-2 group and shNC group transfection for 72 h. And the transfection efficiency of MIR4697HG examined by qRT-PCR was above 60%. Then the BMSCs were treated with adipogenic media for 7 days and showed that the mRNA expression levels of adipogenesis-related genes including PPARγ, CEBP/α and ADIPQ were significantly decreased in the MIR4697HG knockdown group (P < 0.01), while the expression levels of PPARγ and CEBP/α proteins were decreased remarkably as well (P < 0.01). Consistently, MIR4697HG knockdown BMSCs formed less lipid droplets compared with the control BMSCs, which further demonstrated that MIR4697HG knockdown inhibited adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSION lncRNA MIR4697HG played a crucial role in regulating the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and MIR4697HG knockdown significantly inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. These data may suggest that lncRNA MIR4697HG could serve as a therapeutic potential target for the aberrant adipogenic differentiation-associated disorders including osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate and compare the effects of the combined intervention of simvastatin and exercise on the bone degeneration in a mice model of osteoporosis (OP) induced by obesity and estrogen deficiency. METHODS 56 female 3-month-old C57BL/6 mice were given a standard diet or a high-fat diet after ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery. Drug administration and exercise training were initiated 72 h after surgical operation, which were treated with simvastatin (10 mg/kg/day) or exercise (15 m/min for 30 min/day) or combined with simvastatin and exercise at 72 h for 8 weeks. The pathology of OP was assessed by histomorphology analyses, immunohistochemistry (IHC), micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cell culture. RESULTS The coexistence of obesity and estrogen deficiency significantly further exacerbated OP pathology, and combined intervention showed a better significant anti-osteoporosis effect than monotherapy. In details, simvastatin combined with exercise ameliorated the abnormal bone mass, microstructure and bone marrow adipocyte differentiation, significantly increased osteoprotegerin (OPG), type 1 collagen (Col-I), RUNX2 and osteocalcin (OCN) expression, decreased the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Furthermore, combined intervention markedly improved abnormal metabolic status, reduced the levels of serum glucose, insulin, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), leptin, CTX-1 and IL-1β, and increased the level of OCN. CONCLUSIONS The coexistence of obesity and estrogen deficiency further aggravates bone tissue degeneration and abnormal metabolic pathology, which could be better inhibited by the combination with simvastatin and exercise instead of single intervention, suggesting that combined intervention may be a potential candidate for amelioration of the progression of OP.

Impact of Treadmill Interval Running on the Appearance of Zinc Finger Protein FHL2 in Bone Marrow Cells in a Rat Model: A Pilot Study. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12040528. [PMID: 35455019 PMCID: PMC9029125 DOI: 10.3390/life12040528] [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: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Although the benefits of physical exercise to preserve bone quality are now widely recognized, the intimate mechanisms leading to the underlying cell responses still require further investigations. Interval training running, for instance, appears as a generator of impacts on the skeleton, and particularly on the progenitor cells located in the bone marrow. Therefore, if this kind of stimulus initiates bone cell proliferation and differentiation, the activation of a devoted signaling pathway by mechano-transduction seems likely. This study aimed at investigating the effects of an interval running program on the appearance of the zinc finger protein FHL2 in bone cells and their anatomical location. Twelve 5-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of the following groups (n = 6 per group): sedentary control (SED) or high-intensity interval running (EX, 8 consecutive weeks). FHL2 identification in bone cells was performed by immuno-histochemistry on serial sections of radii. We hypothesized that impacts generated by running could activate, in vivo, a specific signaling pathway, through an integrin-mediated mechano-transductive process, leading to the synthesis of FHL2 in bone marrow cells. Our data demonstrated the systematic appearance of FHL2 (% labeled cells: 7.5%, p < 0.001) in bone marrow obtained from EX rats, whereas no FHL2 was revealed in SED rats. These results suggest that the mechanical impacts generated during high-intensity interval running activate a signaling pathway involving nuclear FHL2, such as that also observed with dexamethasone administration. Consequently, interval running could be proposed as a non-pharmacological strategy to contribute to bone marrow cell osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
The use of BMP-2 in orthopedic surgery is limited by uncertainty surrounding its effects on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and how this is affected by cellular aging. This study compared the effects of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation between senescent and non-senescent MSCs. Senescent and non-senescent MSCs were cultured in osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation medium containing various concentrations of rhBMP-2. The phenotypes of these cells were compared by performing a calcium assay, adipogenesis assay, staining, real-time PCR, western blotting, and microarray analysis. rhBMP-2 induced osteogenic differentiation to a lesser extent (P < 0.001 and P = 0.005 for alkaline phosphatase activity and Ca2+ release) in senescent MSCs regardless of dose-dependent increase in both cells. However, the induction of adipogenic differentiation by rhBMP-2 was comparable between them. There was no difference between these two groups of cells in the adipogenesis assay (P = 0.279) and their expression levels of PPARγ were similar. Several genes such as CHRDL1, NOG, SMAD1, SMAD7, and FST encoding transcription factors were proposed to underlie the different responses of senescent and non-senescent MSCs to rhBMP-2 in microarray analyses. Furthermore, inflammatory, adipogenic, or cell death-related signaling pathways such as NF-kB or p38-MAPK pathways were upregulated by BMP-2 in senescent MSCs, whereas bone forming signaling pathways involving BMP, SMAD, and TGF- ß were upregulated in non-senescent MSCs as expected. This phenomenon explains bone forming dominance by non-senescent MSCs and possible frequent complications such as seroma, osteolysis, or neuritis in senescent MSCs during BMP-2 use in orthopedic surgery.
