Abstract
Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) comprises a set of clinical manifestations that can be presented by neonates born to mothers infected by the Zika virus (ZIKV). CZS-associated phenotypes include neurological, skeletal, and systemic alterations and long-term developmental sequelae. One of the most frequently reported clinical conditions is microcephaly characterized by a reduction in head circumference and cognitive complications. Nevertheless, the associations among the diverse signaling pathways underlying CZS phenotypes remain to be elucidated. To shed light on CZS, we have extensively reviewed the morphological anomalies resulting from ZIKV infection, as well as genes and proteins of interest obtained from the published literature. With this list of genes or proteins, we performed computational analyses to explore the cellular processes, molecular mechanisms, and molecular pathways related to ZIKV infection. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively describe the morphological abnormalities caused by congenital ZIKV infection and, through the analysis noted above, propose common molecular pathways altered by ZIKV that could explain both central nervous system and craniofacial skeletal alterations.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids, commonly used to manage inflammatory diseases, can induce muscle atrophy by accelerating the breakdown of muscle proteins. This research delves into the influence of Prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp), a collagen-derived peptide, on muscle atrophy induced with dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, in mouse C2C12 skeletal myotubes. Exposure to DEX (10 μM) for 6 days resulted in a decrease in myotube diameter, along with elevated mRNA and protein levels of two muscle-atrophy-related ubiquitin ligases, muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx, also known as atrogin-1) and muscle ring finger 1 (MuRF-1). Remarkably, treatment with 0.1 mM of Pro-Hyp mitigated the reduction in myotube thickness caused by DEX, while promoting the phosphorylation of Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and forkhead box O3a (Foxo3a). This led to the inhibition of the upregulation of the ubiquitin ligases atrogin-1 and MuRF-1. These findings indicate the potential significance of Pro-Hyp as a promising therapeutic target for countering DEX-induced muscle atrophy.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a potent antiresorptive agent that increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). The anti-osteoporotic effect of ZOL is determined by annual BMD measurement. In most cases, bone turnover markers function as early indicators of therapeutic response, but they fail to reflect long-term effects. We used untargeted metabolomics to characterize time-dependent metabolic shifts in response to ZOL and to screen potential therapeutic markers. In addition, bone marrow RNA-seq was performed to support plasma metabolic profiling. Sixty rats were assigned to sham-operated group (SHAM, n = 21) and ovariectomy group (OVX, n = 39) and received sham operation or bilateral ovariectomy, respectively. After modeling and verification, rats in the OVX group were further divided into normal saline group (NS, n = 15) and ZOL group (ZA, n = 18). Three doses of 100 μg/kg ZOL were administrated to the ZA group every 2 weeks to simulate 3-year ZOL therapy in PMOP. An equal volume of saline was administered to the SHAM and NS groups. Plasma samples were collected at five time points for metabolic profiling. At the end of the study, selected rats were euthanatized for bone marrow RNA-seq. A total number of 163 compound were identified as differential metabolites between the ZA and NS groups, including mevalonate, a critical molecule in target pathway of ZOL. In addition, prolyl hydroxyproline (PHP), leucyl hydroxyproline (LHP), 4-vinylphenol sulfate (4-VPS) were identified as differential metabolites throughout the study. Moreover, 4-VPS negatively correlated with increased vertebral BMD after ZOL administration as time-series analysis revealed. Bone marrow RNA-seq showed that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway was significantly associated with ZOL-mediated changes in expression (adjusted-p = 0.018). In conclusion, mevalonate, PHP, LHP, and 4-VPS are candidate therapeutic markers of ZOL. The pharmacological effect of ZOL likely occurs through inhibition of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Stimulation of the Runx2 P1 promoter by collagen-derived dipeptide prolyl-hydroxyproline bound to Foxg1 and Foxo1 in osteoblasts. Biosci Rep 2021; 41:230239. [PMID: 34779485 PMCID: PMC8655505 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20210304] [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: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Collagen-derived dipeptide prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) directly binds to the forkhead box g1 (Foxg1) protein and causes it to undergo structural alteration. Pro-Hyp also promotes the production of a regulator of osteoblast differentiation, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), through Foxg1, inducing osteoblast differentiation. In addition, Pro-Hyp disrupts the interaction between Foxg1 and Runx2, and Foxg1 appears to interact with Runx2 in the absence of Pro-Hyp. To elucidate the mechanism of Pro-Hyp that promotes osteoblast differentiation, we investigated whether Pro-Hyp regulates the Runx2 P1 promoter together with Foxg1. The present study revealed that Pro-Hyp is taken up by osteoblastic cells via the solute carrier family 15 member (Slc15a) 4. In the presence of Pro-Hyp, Runx2 is translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and Foxg1 is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. We also found that Pro-Hyp promoted the interaction between Forkhead box o1 (Foxo1) and Runx2 and the dissociation of Foxg1 from Runx2. Moreover, we identified the Pro-Hyp response element in the Runx2 distal P1 promoter at nt −375 to −316, including the Runx2 binding sites and Fox core sequence. In the presence of Pro-Hyp, Runx2 is dissociated from the Pro-Hyp response element in the Runx2 distal P1 promoter. Subsequently, Foxg1 and Foxo1 activated the Runx2 promoter by binding to the Pro-Hyp response element. In summary, we delineated the mechanism by which Pro-Hyp stimulates the bone-related Runx2 distal P1 promoter activity in osteoblastic cells through Foxg1, Foxo1, and Runx2.

Abstract
Collagen-derived hydroxyproline (Hyp)-containing peptides have a variety of biological effects on cells. These bioactive collagen peptides are locally generated by the degradation of endogenous collagen in response to injury. However, no comprehensive study has yet explored the functional links between Hyp-containing peptides and cellular behavior. Here, we show that the dipeptide prolyl-4-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) exhibits pronounced effects on mouse tendon cells. Pro-Hyp promotes differentiation/maturation of tendon cells with modulation of lineage-specific factors and induces significant chemotactic activity in vitro. In addition, Pro-Hyp has profound effects on cell proliferation, with significantly upregulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation and extracellular matrix production and increased type I collagen network organization. Using proteomics, we have predicted molecular transport, cellular assembly and organization, and cellular movement as potential linked-network pathways that could be altered in response to Pro-Hyp. Mechanistically, cells treated with Pro-Hyp demonstrate increased directional persistence and significantly increased directed motility and migration velocity. They are accompanied by elongated lamellipodial protrusions with increased levels of active β1-integrin-containing focal contacts, as well as reorganization of thicker peripheral F-actin fibrils. Pro-Hyp-mediated chemotactic activity is significantly reduced (p < 0.001) in cells treated with the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor PD98059 or the α5β1-integrin antagonist ATN-161. Furthermore, ATN-161 significantly inhibits uptake of Pro-Hyp into adult tenocytes. Thus, our findings document the molecular basis of the functional benefits of the Pro-Hyp dipeptide in cellular behavior. These dynamic properties of collagen-derived Pro-Hyp dipeptide could lead the way to its application in translational medicine.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a serious problem affecting health of the elderly. Drugs (bisphosphonates) applied for treatment are often accompanied by adverse side effects. Thus, fish byproduct-derived peptides, particularly hydrolyzed collagen (HC) from defatted sea bass skin, could be a safe source of anti-osteoporosis agents. This study aimed to examine the effects of HC on proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblast cells. HC prepared using papain before Alcalase hydrolysis was determined for molecular weight (MW) distribution. Thereafter, the resulting HC (50-800 µg/mL) was added to the cell. Proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity (AP-A) and mineralization of cells were investigated. Moreover, the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and the p-Akt/Akt pathway were also determined using Western blot. The results showed that HC had an MW < 3 kDa. HC (50-200 µg/mL) could promote cell proliferation. Nevertheless, HC at 100 µg/mL (HC-100) had enhanced AP-A and increased mineralization during the first 7 days of culture. Moreover, HC-treated cells had higher calcium depositions than the control (p < 0.05). Additionally, cells treated with HC-100 had higher levels of RUNX2 and p-Akt expressions than control (p < 0.05). Therefore, HC could be a promising functional ingredient to promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, which could enhance bone strength.

Abstract
The ability to reproduce the developmental events of trypanosomes that occur in their mammalian host in vitro offers significant potential to assist in understanding of the underlying biology of the process. For example, the transition from bloodstream slender to bloodstream stumpy forms is a quorum-sensing response to the parasite-derived peptidase digestion products of environmental proteins. As an abundant physiological substrate in vivo, we studied the ability of a basement membrane matrix enriched gel (BME) in the culture medium to support differentiation of pleomorphic Trypanosoma brucei to stumpy forms. BME comprises extracellular matrix proteins, which are among the most abundant proteins found in connective tissues in mammals and known substrates of parasite-released peptidases. We previously showed that two of these released peptidases are involved in generating a signal that promotes slender-to-stumpy differentiation. Here, we tested the ability of basement membrane extract to enhance parasite differentiation through its provision of suitable substrates to generate the quorum sensing signal, namely oligopeptides. Our results show that when grown in the presence of BME, T. brucei pleomorphic cells arrest at the G0/1 phase of the cell cycle and express the differentiation marker PAD1, the response being restricted to differentiation-competent parasites. Further, the stumpy forms generated in BME medium are able to efficiently proceed onto the next life cycle stage in vitro, procyclic forms, when incubated with cis-aconitate, further validating the in vitro BME differentiation system. Hence, BME provides a suitable in vitro substrate able to accurately recapitulate physiological parasite differentiation without the use of experimental animals.

Abstract
Forkhead box (Fox) family, an evolutionarily conserved family of transcription factors carrying the "Forkhead" motif, plays an indispensable role in human health and disease. Fox family genes are involved in cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, embryonic development, aging, glucose and lipid metabolism, and immune regulation. The regulatory role of the Fox family in the context of bone metabolism and orthopedic diseases is an emerging research hotspot. In this review, we highlight the major molecular mechanisms underlying the regulatory role of Fox factors in bone metabolism, bone development, bone homeostasis, and bone diseases associated with inhibition or upregulation of Fox factors. In addition, we discuss the emerging evidence in the realm of Fox factor-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Collagen is the most abundant extracellular fibrous protein that has been widely used for biomedical applications due to its excellent biochemical and biocompatibility features. It is believed that the smaller molecular weight collagen, i.e., collagen peptide (CP), has more potent activity than native collagen. However, the preparation of CP from fish bone collagen is a complex and time-consuming process. Additionally, the osteogenic effect of CP depends on its molecular weight and amino acid composition. Considering the above concept, the present work was undertaken to extract the CP directly from Mahi mahi fish (Coryphaena hippurus) bones and test its osteogenic potential using bone marrow mesenchymal stem (BMMS) cells. The hydrolyzed collagen contained triple alpha chains (110 kDa) and a peptide (~1 kDa) and the peptide was successfully separated from hydrolyzed collagen using molecular weight cut-off membrane. CP treatment was up-regulated BMMS cells proliferation and differentiation. Interestingly, CP accrued the mineral deposition in differentiated BMMS cells. Protein and mRNA expression revealed that the osteogenic biomarkers such as collagen, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin levels were significantly increased by CP treatment in differentiated BMMS cells and also further elucidated the hypothesis that CP was upregulated osteogenesis through activating Runx2 via p38MAPK signaling pathway. The above results concluded that the CP from Mahi mahi bones with excellent osteogenic properties could be the suitable biomaterial for bone therapeutic application.

Abstract
The Droughtmaster is a tropical breed of beef cattle developed in North Queensland that exhibits a combination of heat resistance and parasitic resistance from long-term artificial selection. Therefore, we used next-generation sequencing technology to screen the chromosomal regions and genes related to heat-resistance in cattle to provide data for improving cattle breeding. A total of 15,569,067 variants including 14,249,316 SNPs were obtained from two mixed pools by genome-wide resequencing. According to the results of the selective sweep analysis of the Droughtmaster pool compared to the nonheat resistant breeds pool, 81 candidate genes under selection in Droughtmaster were identified by combining Z HP and F ST analyses with a threshold standard of the top 1%, including SLC7A11, GYPC, and GYPC. In addition, 40 GO terms and 44 pathways were annotated from newly identified candidate genes. These signaling pathways were involved in environmental information processing, organismal systems, and metabolism. A majority of these genes have not been implicated in the previous studies of heat resistance. This study explored the genomic changes that result from long-term artificial selection, our findings help to explain the molecular mechanism of heat resistance in cattle.

Abstract
Hydroxyproline (Hyp) is a collagen-specific amino acid formed by post-translational hydroxylation of Pro residues. Various Hyp-containing oligopeptides are transported into the blood at high concentrations after oral ingestion of collagen hydrolysate. Here we investigated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of X-Hyp-Gly-type tripeptides. In an in vitro assay, ginger-degraded collagen hydrolysate enriched with X-Hyp-Gly-type tripeptides dose-dependently inhibited ACE and various synthetic X-Hyp-Gly-type tripeptides showed ACE-inhibitory activity. In particular, strong inhibition was observed for Leu-Hyp-Gly, Ile-Hyp-Gly, and Val-Hyp-Gly with IC50 values of 5.5, 9.4, and 12.8 μM, respectively. Surprisingly, substitution of Hyp with Pro dramatically decreased inhibitory activity of X-Hyp-Gly, indicating that Hyp is important for ACE inhibition. This finding was supported by molecular docking experiments using Leu-Hyp-Gly/Leu-Pro-Gly. We further demonstrated that prolyl hydroxylation significantly enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation by incubation with mouse plasma. The strong ACE-inhibitory activity and high stability of X-Hyp-Gly-type tripeptides highlight their potential for hypertension control.

Abstract
Tremendous progress in stem cell biology has resulted in a major current focus on effective modalities to promote directed cellular behavior for clinical therapy. The fundamental principles of tissue engineering are aimed at providing soluble and insoluble biological cues to promote these directed biological responses. Better understanding of extracellular matrix functions is ensuring optimal adhesive substrates to promote cell mobility and a suitable physical niche to direct stem cell responses. Further, appreciation of the roles of matrix constituents as morphogen cues, termed matrikines or matricryptins, are also now being directly exploited in biomaterial design. These insoluble topological cues can be presented at both micro- and nanoscales with specific fabrication techniques. Progress in development and molecular biology has described key roles for a range of biological molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, to serve as morphogens promoting directed behavior in stem cells. Controlled-release systems involving encapsulation of bioactive agents within polymeric carriers are enabling utilization of soluble cues. Using our efforts at dental craniofacial tissue engineering, this narrative review focuses on outlining specific biomaterial fabrication techniques, such as electrospinning, gas foaming, and 3D printing used in combination with polymeric nano- or microspheres. These avenues are providing unprecedented therapeutic opportunities for precision bioengineering for regenerative applications.

Commensal Microbiota Enhance Both Osteoclast and Osteoblast Activities. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23071517. [PMID: 29937485 PMCID: PMC6100304 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23071517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2018] [Revised: 06/19/2018] [Accepted: 06/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the commensal microbiota affects not only host energy metabolism and development of immunity but also bone remodeling by positive regulation of osteoclast activity. However, the mechanism of regulation of bone cells by the commensal microbiota has not been elucidated. In this study, 8-week-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) and germ-free (GF) mice were compared in terms of alveolar bones and primary osteoblasts isolated from calvarias. Micro-CT analysis showed that SPF mice had larger body size associated with lower bone mineral density and bone volume fraction in alveolar bones compared with GF mice. Greater numbers of osteoclasts in alveolar bone and higher serum levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were observed in SPF mice. Tissue extracts from SPF alveolar bone showed higher levels of cathepsin K, indicating higher osteoclast activity. SPF alveolar extracts also showed elevated levels of γ-carboxylated glutamic acid⁻osteocalcin as a marker of mature osteoblasts compared with GF mice. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array analysis of RNA directly isolated from alveolar bone showed that in SPF mice, expression of mRNA of osteocalcin, which also acts as an inhibitor of bone mineralization, was strongly enhanced compared with GF mice. Cultured calvarial osteoblasts from SPF mice showed reduced mineralization but significantly enhanced expression of mRNAs of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, insulin-like growth factor-I/II, and decreased ratio of osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand compared with GF mice. Furthermore, PCR array analyses of transcription factors in cultured calvarial osteoblasts showed strongly upregulated expression of Forkhead box g1. In contrast, Gata-binding protein 3 was strongly downregulated in SPF osteoblasts. These results suggest that the commensal microbiota prevents excessive mineralization possibly by stimulating osteocalcin expression in osteoblasts, and enhances both osteoblast and osteoclast activity by regulating specific transcription factors.
