Abstract
In clinical settings, addressing large bone defects remains a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The use of genetically modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has emerged as a highly promising approach for these treatments. Signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 3 (SCUBE3) is a multifunctional secreted glycoprotein, the role of which remains unclear in human hBMSCs. This study used various experimental methods to elucidate the potential mechanism by which SCUBE3 influences osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro. Additionally, the therapeutic efficacy of SCUBE3, in conjunction with porous GeLMA microspheres, was evaluated in vivo using a mouse bone defect model. Our findings indicate that SCUBE3 levels increase significantly during early osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, and that reducing SCUBE3 levels can hinder this differentiation. Overexpressing SCUBE3 elevated osteogenesis gene and protein levels and enhanced calcium deposition. Furthermore, treatment with recombinant human SCUBE3 (rhSCUBE3) protein boosted BMP2 and TGF-β expression, activated mitophagy in hBMSCs, ameliorated oxidative stress, and restored osteogenic function through SMAD phosphorylation. In vivo, GELMA/OE treatment effectively accelerated bone healing in mice. In conclusion, SCUBE3 fosters osteogenic differentiation and mitophagy in hBMSCs by activating the BMP2/TGF-β signaling pathway. When combined with engineered hydrogel cell therapy, it could offer valuable guidance for the clinical management of extensive bone defects.

Abstract
In recent years, the regulation of the cell microenvironment has opened up new avenues for bone defect repair. Researchers have developed novel biomaterials to influence the behavior of osteoblasts and immune cells by regulating the microenvironment, aiming to achieve efficient bone repair. Mitochondria, as crucial organelles involved in energy conversion, biosynthesis and signal transduction, play a vital role in maintaining bone integrity. Dysfunction of mitochondria can have detrimental effects on the transformation of the immune microenvironment and the differentiation of stem cells, thereby hindering bone tissue regeneration. Consequently, targeted therapy strategies focusing on mitochondria have emerged. This approach offers a wide range of applications and reliable therapeutic effects, thereby providing a new treatment option for complex and refractory bone defect diseases. In recent studies, more biomaterials have been used to restore mitochondrial function and promote positive cell differentiation. The main directions are mitochondrial energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial quality control. In this review, we investigated the biomaterials used for mitochondria-targeted treatment of bone defect repair in recent years from the perspective of progress and strategies. We also summarized the micro-molecular mechanisms affected by them. Through discussions on energy metabolism, oxidative stress regulation and autophagy regulation, we emphasized the opportunities and challenges faced by mitochondria-targeted biomaterials, providing vital clues for developing a new generation of bone repair materials.

Abstract
Owing to the widespread use and improper emissions of carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs), the adverse effects of CBNPs on human health have attracted much attention. In toxicological research, carbon black is frequently utilized as a negative control because of its low toxicity and poor solubility. However, recent studies have indicated that inhalation exposure to CBNPs could be a risk factor for severe and prolonged pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. At present, the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis induced by CBNPs is still not fully elucidated, but it is known that with small particle size and large surface area, CBNPs are more easily ingested by cells, leading to organelle damage and abnormal interactions between organelles. Damaged organelle and abnormal organelles interactions lead to cell structure and function disorders, which is one of the important factors in the development and occurrence of various diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of organelle structure, function, and interaction mechanisms, while also summarizing the research advancements in organelles and organelle interactions in CBNPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Smoking continues to pose a global threat to morbidity and mortality in populations. The detrimental impact of smoking on health and disease includes bone destruction and immune disruption in various diseases. Osteoimmunology, which explores the communication between bone metabolism and immune homeostasis, aims to reveal the interaction between the osteoimmune systems in disease development. Smoking impairs the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts in bone formation while promoting osteoclast differentiation in bone resorption. Furthermore, smoking stimulates the Th17 response to increase inflammatory and osteoclastogenic cytokines that promote the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling in osteoclasts, thus exacerbating bone destruction in periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The pro-inflammatory role of smoking is also evident in delayed bone fracture healing and osteoarthritis development. The osteoimmunological therapies are promising in treating periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis, but further research is still required to block the smoking-induced aggravation in these diseases. Translational potential This review summarizes the adverse effect of smoking on mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts and elucidates the smoking-induced exacerbation of periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone fracture healing, and osteoarthritis from an osteoimmune perspective. We also propose the therapeutic potential of osteoimmunological therapies for bone destruction aggravated by smoking.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in heightened vulnerability to fractures due to increased bone fragility. This condition primarily arises from an imbalance between the processes of bone resorption and formation. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported to potentially constitute one of the most crucial mechanisms influencing the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In essence, mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate equilibrium between bone formation and resorption, thereby ensuring optimal skeletal health. Nevertheless, disruption of this delicate balance can arise as a consequence of mitochondrial dysfunction. In dysfunctional mitochondria, the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) becomes uncoupled, resulting in reduced ATP synthesis and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reinforcement of mitochondrial dysfunction is further exacerbated by the accumulation of aberrant mitochondria. In this review, we investigated and analyzed the correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction, encompassing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) impairment, mitophagy dysregulation, defects in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, as well as excessive ROS accumulation, with regards to OP (Figure 1). Furthermore, we explore prospective strategies currently available for modulating mitochondria to ameliorate osteoporosis. Undoubtedly, certain therapeutic strategies still require further investigation to ensure their safety and efficacy as clinical treatments. However, from a mitochondrial perspective, the potential for establishing effective and safe therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis appears promising.

Abstract
In hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiate into more adipocytes than osteoblasts, leading to decreased bone formation. It is vital to elucidate the effects of hyperlipidemia on bone metabolism and seek new agents that regulate adipocyte-osteoblast lineage allocation. CoQ10, a rate-limiting coenzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, has been reported to decrease oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation by functioning as a mitochondrial antioxidant. However, its effect on hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis remains unknown. Here, we analyzed the therapeutic mechanisms of CoQ10 on hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis by using high-fat diet (HFD)-treated ApoE-/- mice or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated BMSCs. The serum lipid levels were elevated and bone formation-related markers were decreased in HFD-treated ApoE-/- mice and ox-LDL-treated BMSCs, which could be reversed by CoQ10. Additionally, PGC-1α protein expression was decreased in HFD-treated ApoE-/- mice and ox-LDL-treated BMSCs, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased ATP content and overgeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which could also be antagonized by CoQ10. Furthermore, PGC-1α knockdown in vitro promoted ROS generation, BMSC apoptosis, and adipogenic differentiation while attenuating osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Mechanistically, it suggested that the expression of PGC1-α protein was increased with miR-130b-3p inhibitor treatment in osteoporosis under hyperlipidemia conditions to improve mitochondrial function. Collectively, CoQ10 alleviates hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis in ApoE-/- mice and regulates adipocyte-osteoblast lineage allocation. The possible underlying mechanism may involve the improvement of mitochondrial function by modulating the miR-130b-3p/PGC-1α pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cementoblasts on the tooth-root surface are responsible for cementum formation (cementogenesis) and sensitive to Porphyromonas gingivalis stimulation. We have previously proved transcription factor CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5) participates in cementogenesis. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism in which CXXC5 regulates P. gingivalis-inhibited cementogenesis from the perspective of mitochondrial biogenesis. METHODS In vivo, periapical lesions were induced in mouse mandibular first molars by pulp exposure, and P. gingivalis was applied into the root canals. In vitro, a cementoblast cell line (OCCM-30) was induced cementogenesis and submitted for RNA sequencing. These cells were co-cultured with P. gingivalis and examined for osteogenic ability and mitochondrial biogenesis. Cells with stable CXXC5 overexpression were constructed by lentivirus transduction, and PGC-1α (central inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis) was down-regulated by siRNA transfection. RESULTS Periapical lesions were enlarged, and PGC-1α expression was reduced by P. gingivalis treatment. Upon apical inflammation, Cxxc5 expression decreased with Il-6 upregulation. RNA sequencing showed enhanced expression of osteogenic markers, Cxxc5, and mitochondrial biogenesis markers during cementogenesis. P. gingivalis suppressed osteogenic capacities, mitochondrial biogenesis markers, mitochondrial (mt)DNA copy number, and cellular ATP content of cementoblasts, whereas CXXC5 overexpression rescued these effects. PGC-1α knockdown dramatically impaired cementoblast differentiation, confirming the role of mitochondrial biogenesis on cementogenesis. CONCLUSIONS CXXC5 is a P. gingivalis-sensitive transcription factor that positively regulates cementogenesis by influencing PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is typically brought on by disruption of bone homeostasis. Excessive oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are believed to be the primary mechanisms underlying this disorder. Therefore, in order to restore bone homeostasis effectively, targeted treatment of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is necessary. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a small molecule that acts as an agonist for the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), has been found to possess antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. We found that CIN, while rescuing apoptosis, can also reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to improve mitochondrial dysfunction and thus restore the osteogenic differentiation potential of BMSCs disrupted by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure. The role of CIN was preliminarily considered to be a consequence of Nrf2/HO-1 axis activation. The ovariectomized mice model further demonstrated that CIN treatment ameliorated oxidative stress in vivo, partially reversing OVX-induced bone loss. This improvement was seen in the trabecular microarchitecture and bone biochemical indices. However, when ML385 was concurrently injected with CIN, the positive effects of CIN were largely blocked. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the intrinsic mechanisms by which CIN regulates BMSCs and highlights the potential therapeutic applications of these findings in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Acta Biomater 2023; 164:1-14. [PMID: 36972808 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
Bone damage may be triggered by a variety of factors, and the damaged area often requires a bone graft. Bone tissue engineering can serve as an alternative strategy for repairing large bone defects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the progenitor cells of connective tissue, have become an important tool for tissue engineering due to their ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types. The precise regulation of the growth and differentiation of the stem cells used for bone regeneration significantly affects the efficiency of this type of tissue engineering. During the process of osteogenic induction, the dynamics and function of localized mitochondria are altered. These changes may also alter the microenvironment of the therapeutic stem cells and result in mitochondria transfer. Mitochondrial regulation not only affects the induction/rate of differentiation, but also influences its direction, determining the final identity of the differentiated cell. To date, bone tissue engineering research has mainly focused on the influence of biomaterials on phenotype and nuclear genotype, with few studies investigating the role of mitochondria. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of researches into the role of mitochondria in MSCs differentiation and critical analysis regarding smart biomaterials that are able to "programme" mitochondria modulation was proposed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: : • This review proposed the precise regulation of the growth and differentiation of the stem cells used to seed bone regeneration. • This review addressed the dynamics and function of localized mitochondria during the process of osteogenic induction and the effect of mitochondria on the microenvironment of stem cells. • This review summarized biomaterials which affect the induction/rate of differentiation, but also influences its direction, determining the final identity of the differentiated cell through the regulation of mitochondria.

Abstract
The skeletal system is the basis of the vertebral body composition, which affords stabilization sites for muscle attachment, protects vital organs, stores mineral ions, supplies places to the hematopoietic system, and participates in complex endocrine and immune system. Not surprisingly, bones are constantly reabsorbed, formed, and remodeled under physiological conditions. Once bone metabolic homeostasis is interrupted (including inflammation, tumors, fractures, and bone metabolic diseases), the body rapidly initiates bone regeneration to maintain bone tissue structure and quality. Macroautophagy/autophagy is an essential metabolic process in eukaryotic cells, which maintains metabolic energy homeostasis and plays a vital role in bone regeneration by controlling molecular degradation and organelle renewal. One relatively new observation is that mesenchymal cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and vascularization process exhibit autophagy, and the molecular mechanisms and targets involved are being explored and updated. The role of autophagy is also emerging in degenerative diseases (intervertebral disc degeneration [IVDD], osteoarthritis [OA], etc.) and bone metabolic diseases (osteoporosis [OP], osteitis deformans, osteosclerosis). The use of autophagy regulators to modulate autophagy has benefited bone regeneration, including MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase) inhibitors, AMPK activators, and emerging phytochemicals. The application of biomaterials (especially nanomaterials) to trigger autophagy is also an attractive research direction, which can exert superior therapeutic properties from the material-loaded molecules/drugs or the material's properties such as shape, roughness, surface chemistry, etc. All of these have essential clinical significance with the discovery of autophagy associated signals, pathways, mechanisms, and treatments in bone diseases in the future.Abbreviations: Δψm: mitochondrial transmembrane potential AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase ARO: autosomal recessive osteosclerosis ATF4: activating transcription factor 4 ATG: autophagy-related β-ECD: β-ecdysone BMSC: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell ER: endoplasmic reticulum FOXO: forkhead box O GC: glucocorticoid HIF1A/HIF-1α: hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha HSC: hematopoietic stem cell HSP: heat shock protein IGF1: insulin like growth factor 1 IL1B/IL-1β: interleukin 1 beta IVDD: intervertebral disc degradation LPS: lipopolysaccharide MAPK: mitogen-activated protein kinase MSC: mesenchymal stem cell MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase NP: nucleus pulposus NPWT: negative pressure wound therapy OA: osteoarthritis OP: osteoporosis PTH: parathyroid hormone ROS: reactive oxygen species SIRT1: sirtuin 1 SIRT3: sirtuin 3 SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1 TNFRSF11B/OPG: TNF receptor superfamily member 11b TNFRSF11A/RANK: tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11a TNFSF11/RANKL: tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11 TSC1: tuberous sclerosis complex 1 ULK1: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1.

Abstract
Apelin is an endogenous ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor APJ and has multiple biological activities in human tissues and organs, including the heart, blood vessels, adipose tissue, central nervous system, lungs, kidneys, and liver. This article reviews the crucial role of apelin in regulating oxidative stress-related processes by promoting prooxidant or antioxidant mechanisms. Following the binding of APJ to different active apelin isoforms and the interaction with several G proteins according to cell types, the apelin/APJ system is able to modulate different intracellular signaling pathways and biological functions, such as vascular tone, platelet aggregation and leukocytes adhesion, myocardial activity, ischemia/reperfusion injury, insulin resistance, inflammation, and cell proliferation and invasion. As a consequence of these multifaceted properties, the role of the apelinergic axis in the pathogenesis of degenerative and proliferative conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, osteoporosis, and cancer) is currently investigated. In this view, the dual effect of the apelin/APJ system in the regulation of oxidative stress needs to be more extensively clarified, in order to identify new potential strategies and tools able to selectively modulate this axis according to the tissue-specific profile.

Melatonin promoted osteogenesis of human periodontal ligament cells by regulating mitochondrial functions through the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 20. J Periodontal Res 2023; 58:53-69. [PMID: 36373245 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Melatonin plays an important role in various beneficial functions, including promoting differentiation. However, effects on osteogenic differentiation, especially in human periodontal cells (hPDLCs), still remain inconclusive. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that play an important role in various biological processes in cells, including energy metabolism and oxidative stress reaction. Furthermore, the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20) is responsible for recognizing and transporting precursor proteins. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the functionality of melatonin on osteogenesis in human periodontal cells and to explore the involved mechanism of mitochondria. METHODS The hPDLCs were extracted and identified by flow cytometry and multilineage differentiation. We divided hPDLCs into control group, osteogenic induction group, and osteogenesis with melatonin treatment group (100, 10, and 1 μM). Then we used a specific siRNA to achieve interference of TOM20. Alizarin red and Alkaline phosphatase staining and activity assays were performed to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. Osteogenesis-related genes and proteins were measured by qPCR and western blot. Mitochondrial functions were tested using ATP, NAD+/NADH, JC-1, and Seahorse Mito Stress Test kits. Finally, TOM20 and mitochondrial dynamics-related molecules expression were also assessed by qPCR and western blot. RESULTS Our results showed that melatonin-treated hPDLCs had higher calcification and ALP activity as well as upregulated OCN and Runx2 expression at mRNA and protein levels, which was the most obvious in 1 μM melatonin-treated group. Meanwhile, melatonin supplement elevated intracellular ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential by increasing mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, hence causing a lower NAD+ /NADH ratio. In addition, we also found that melatonin treatment raised TOM20 level and osteogenesis and mitochondrial functions were both suppressed after knocking down TOM20. CONCLUSION We found that melatonin promoted osteogenesis of hPDLCs and 1 μM melatonin had the most remarkable effect. Melatonin treatment can reinforce mitochondrial functions by upregulating TOM20.

Abstract
Fluoride is a persistent environmental pollutant, and its excessive intake causes skeletal and dental fluorosis. However, few studies focused on the effects of fluoride on osteocytes, making up over 95% of all bone cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of fluoride on osteocytes in vitro, as well as explore the underlying mechanisms. CCK-8, LDH assay, fluorescent probes, flow cytometry, and western blotting were performed to examine cell viability, apoptosis, mitochondria changes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial ROS (mtROS), and protein expressions. Results showed that sodium fluoride (NaF) exposure (4, 8 mmol/L) for 24 h inhibited the cell viability of osteocytes MLO-Y4 and promoted G0/G1 phase arrest and increased cell apoptosis. NaF treatment remarkably caused mitochondria damage, loss of MMP, ATP decrease, Cyto c release, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio increase and elevated the activity of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Furthermore, NaF significantly upregulated the expressions of LC-3II, PINK1, and Parkin and increased autophagy flux and the accumulation of acidic vacuoles, while the p62 level was downregulated. In addition, NaF exposure triggered the production of intracellular ROS and mtROS and increased malondialdehyde (MDA); but superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) content were decreased. The scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly reversed NaF-induced apoptosis and mitophagy, suggesting that ROS is responsible for the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis and mitophagy induced by NaF exposure. These findings provide in vitro evidence that apoptosis and mitophagy are cellular mechanisms for the toxic effect of fluoride on osteocytes, thereby suggesting the potential role of osteocytes in skeletal and dental fluorosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As air pollution has been paid more attention to by public in recent years, effects and mechanism in particulate matter-triggered health problems become a focus of research. Lysosomes and mitochondria play an important role in regulation of inflammation. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) has been proved to promote inflammation in our previous studies. In this research, macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was used to explore the potential mechanism of upregulation of IL-33 induced by 1,4-naphthoquinone black carbon (1,4-NQ-BC), and to explore changes of lysosomes and mitochondria during the process. RESULTS 50 μg/mL 1,4-NQ-BC exposure for 24 h dramatically increased expression of IL-33 in RAW264.7 cells. Lysosomal membrane permeability was damaged by 1,4-NQ-BC treatment, and higher mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS level were induced by 1,4-NQ-BC. The results of proteomics suggested that expression of ferritin light chain was increased after cells were challenged with 1,4-NQ-BC, and it was verified by Western blot. Meanwhile, expressions of p62 and LC3B-II were increased by 50 μg/mL 1,4-NQ-BC in RAW264.7 cells. Ultimately, expression of IL-33 could return to same level as control in cells treated with 50 μg/mL 1,4-NQ-BC and 50 μM deferoxamine combined. CONCLUSIONS 1,4-NQ-BC induces IL-33 upregulation in RAW264.7 cells, and it is responsible for higher lysosomal membrane permeability and ROS level, lower mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibition of autophagy. Ferritin light chain possibly plays an important role in the upregulation of IL-33 evoked by 1,4-NQ-BC.

Abstract
Osteoporosis bears an imbalance between bone formation and resorption, which is strongly related to oxidative stress. The function of leonurine on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under oxidative stress is still unclear. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying the protective effect of leonurine on H2O2 stimulated rat BMSCs. We found that leonurine can alleviate cell apoptosis and promote the differentiation ability of rat BMSCs induced by oxidative stress at an appropriate concentration at 10 μM. Meanwhile, the intracellular ROS level and the level of the COX2 and NOX4 mRNA decreased after leonurine treatment in vitro. The ATP level and mitochondrial membrane potential were upregulated after leonurine treatment. The protein level of PINK1 and Parkin showed the same trend. The mitophage in rat BMSCs blocked by 3-MA was partially rescued by leonurine. Bioinformatics analysis and leonurine-protein coupling provides a strong direct combination between leonurine and the PI3K protein at the position of Asp841, Glu880, Val882. In conclusion, leonurine protects the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs from oxidative stress by activating mitophagy, which depends on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. The results showed that leonurine may have potential usage in osteoporosis and bone defect repair in osteoporosis patients.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 813:151899. [PMID: 34838543 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to ambient ultrafine black carbon (uBC, with aerodynamic diameter less than 100 nm) is associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress is the predominantly reported neurotoxic effects caused by uBC exposure. Mitochondrion is responsible for production of majority of ROS in cells and mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to adverse nervous outcomes. Mitophagy is an important cellular process to eliminate dysfunctional or damaged mitochondria. However, the mechanisms that modulate mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction initiated by uBC remain to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate how mitochondrial oxidative stress regulated mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy in human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) after uBC treatment. RNA interference was further applied to explore the roles of mitophagy in mitochondrial dysfunction. We found uBC triggered cell apoptosis via ROS-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The uBC also caused serious mitochondrial damage and respiratory dysfunction, indicated by the abnormalities in mitochondrial division and fusion related proteins, decreased mitochondria number and ATP level. Increased PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkin protein levels and the autolysosome numbers suggested uBC could promote Pink1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy process in SH-SY5Y cells. Mitophagy inhibition could reserve mitochondria number and ATP activity, but not fusion and division related protein levels in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to uBC. Administration of a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (mitoquinone) significantly eliminated uBC caused apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy. Our data suggested mitochondrial oxidative stress regulated uBC induced mitochondrial dysfunction and PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy. PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy probably participated in regulating uBC caused mitochondrial dysfunction but not by controlling mitochondrial fusion and division related proteins. Our results may provide some new insights and evidences to understand the mechanisms of neurotoxicity induced by uBC.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been widely used in many fields, especially in biomedical and stem cell therapy. However, the potential risks associated with nanomaterials applications are also gradually increasing. Therefore, effective and robust toxicology models are critical to evaluate the developmental toxicity of nanomaterials. The development of stem cell research provides a new idea of developmental toxicology. Recently, many researchers actively investigated the effects of nanomaterials with different sizes and surface modifications on various stem cells (such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult stem cells, etc.) to study the toxic effects and toxic mechanisms. In this review, we summarized the effects of nanomaterials on the proliferation and differentiation of ESCs, mesenchymal stem cells and neural stem cells. Moreover, we discussed the advantages of stem cells in nanotoxicology compared with other cell lines. Finally, combined with the latest research methods and new molecular mechanisms, we analyzed the application of stem cells in nanotoxicology.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1 (PGC-1) is an inducible co-regulator of nuclear receptors and is involved in a wide variety of biological responses. As the master regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and function, PGC-1α and PGC-1β have been reported to play key roles in bone metabolism. They can be rapidly induced under conditions of increased metabolic activities, such as osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis, to fulfill greater energy demand or facilitate other biochemical reactions. PGC-1α and PGC-1β have both overlapping and distinct functions with each other among their target organs. In bone homeostasis, PGC-1α and PGC-1β promote the expression of genes required for mitochondrial biogenesis via coactivator interactions with key transcription factors, respectively regulating osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Here, we review the current understanding of how PGC-1α and PGC-1β affect osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis, how these two PGC-1 coactivators are regulated in bone homeostasis, and how we can translate these findings into therapeutic potential for bone metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Despite the potential of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) in bioimaging and drug delivery, their toxic effects have been documented. It is known that the immunotoxicity of CdTe QDs targeting macrophages is one of their adverse effects, and the protein corona (PC) will affect the biological effects of QDs. In order to prove whether the PC-CdTe QDs complexes could alleviate the toxicity of CdTe QDs without weakening their luminescence, we investigated the impact of protein corona formed in fetal bovine serum (FBS) on the cytotoxicity of CdTe QDs to mitochondria. RAW264.7 cells were used as the model to compare the effects of CdTe QDs and PC-CdTe QDs complexes on the structure, function, quantity, morphology, and mitochondrial quality control of mitochondria. As result, the protein corona form in FBS alleviated the inhibition of CdTe QDs on mitochondrial activity, the damage to mitochondrial membrane, the increase of ROS, and the reduction of ATP content. Also, CdTe QDs increased the number of mitochondria in macrophages, while the complexes did not. In line with this, the morphology of mitochondrial network in macrophages which were exposed to CdTe QDs and PC-CdTe QDs complexes was different. CdTe QDs transformed the network into fragments, punctuations, and short rods, while PC-CdTe QDs complexes made the mitochondrial network highly branched, which was related to the imbalance of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Mechanically, CdTe QDs facilitated mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitochondrial fusion, while protein corona reversed the phenomenon caused by QDs. Besides mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy were also affected. CdTe QDs increased the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis signaling molecules including PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM, while PC-CdTe QDs complexes played the opposite role. With regard to mitophagy, they both showed promoting effect. In conclusion, the formation of protein corona alleviated the toxic effects of CdTe QDs on the mitochondria in macrophages and affected mitochondrial quality control. Under the premise of ensuring the fluorescence properties of CdTe QDs, these findings provided useful insight into reducing the toxicity of CdTe QDs from two perspectives: protein corona and mitochondria, and shared valuable information for the safe use of QDs.

Transcriptomics of single dose and repeated carbon black and ozone inhalation co-exposure highlight progressive pulmonary mitochondrial dysfunction. Part Fibre Toxicol 2021; 18:44. [PMID: 34911549 PMCID: PMC8672524 DOI: 10.1186/s12989-021-00437-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Air pollution is a complex mixture of particles and gases, yet current regulations are based on single toxicant levels failing to consider potential interactive outcomes of co-exposures. We examined transcriptomic changes after inhalation co-exposure to a particulate and a gaseous component of air pollution and hypothesized that co-exposure would induce significantly greater impairments to mitochondrial bioenergetics. A whole-body inhalation exposure to ultrafine carbon black (CB), and ozone (O3) was performed, and the impact of single and multiple exposures was studied at relevant deposition levels. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to CB (10 mg/m3) and/or O3 (2 ppm) for 3 h (either a single exposure or four independent exposures). RNA was isolated from lungs and mRNA sequencing performed using the Illumina HiSeq. Lung pathology was evaluated by histology and immunohistochemistry. Electron transport chain (ETC) activities, electron flow, hydrogen peroxide production, and ATP content were assessed. RESULTS Compared to individual exposure groups, co-exposure induced significantly greater neutrophils and protein levels in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid as well as a significant increase in mRNA expression of oxidative stress and inflammation related genes. Similarly, a significant increase in hydrogen peroxide production was observed after co-exposure. After single and four exposures, co-exposure revealed a greater number of differentially expressed genes (2251 and 4072, respectively). Of these genes, 1188 (single exposure) and 2061 (four exposures) were uniquely differentially expressed, with 35 mitochondrial ETC mRNA transcripts significantly impacted after four exposures. Both O3 and co-exposure treatment significantly reduced ETC maximal activity for complexes I (- 39.3% and - 36.2%, respectively) and IV (- 55.1% and - 57.1%, respectively). Only co-exposure reduced ATP Synthase activity (- 35.7%) and total ATP content (30%). Further, the ability for ATP Synthase to function is limited by reduced electron flow (- 25%) and translation of subunits, such as ATP5F1, following co-exposure. CONCLUSIONS CB and O3 co-exposure cause unique transcriptomic changes in the lungs that are characterized by functional deficits to mitochondrial bioenergetics. Alterations to ATP Synthase function and mitochondrial electron flow underly a pathological adaptation to lung injury induced by co-exposure.

Abstract
In this research, the organelle damage, apoptosis and necrosis induced by PM2.5, BC and Kaolin were studied using human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells. PM2.5, BC and Kaolin all induce cell death, LDH release and excess intracellular ROS generation. For the organelle injuries, Kaolin and high-dose PM2.5 (240 μg/mL) cause lysosomal acidification, but BC causes lysosomal alkalization (lysosomal membrane permeabilization, LMP). BC and Kaolin cause the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), while PM2.5 does not. For the cell death mode, PM2.5 causes both apoptosis and necrosis. However only necrosis has been detected in the BC and Kaolin treated groups, indicating the more severe cellular insult. Excess ROS generation is involved in the organelle damage and cell death. ROS contributes to the BC-induced LMP and necrosis, but does not significantly affect the Kaolin-induced MMP loss and necrosis. Therefore, the BC component in PM2.5 may cause cytotoxicity via ROS-dependent pathways, the Kaolin component may damage cells via ROS-independent mechanisms such as strong interaction. The PM2.5-induced apoptosis and necrosis can be partially mitigated after the removal of ROS, indicating the existence of both the ROS-dependent and ROS-independent mechanisms due to the complicated PM2.5 components. BC represents the anthropogenic source component in PM2.5, while Kaolin represents the natural source component. Our results provide knowledge on the toxic mechanisms of typical PM2.5 components at the cellular and subcellular levels.

Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) exhibit enormous therapeutic potential because of their indispensable regenerative, reparative, angiogenic, anti-apoptotic, and immunosuppressive properties. MSCs can best differentiate into mesodermal cell lineages, including osteoblasts, adipocytes, muscle cells, endothelial cells and chondrocytes. Specific differentiation of MSCs could be induced through limited conditions. In addition to the relevant differentiation factors, drastic changes also occur in the microenvironment to conduct it in an optimal manner for particular differentiation. Recent evidence suggests that the mitochondria participate in the regulating of direction and process of MSCs differentiation. Therefore, our current review focuses on how mitochondria participate in both osteogenesis and adipogenesis of MSC differentiation. Besides that, in our current review, we try to provide a further understanding of the relationship between the behavior of mitochondria and the direction of MSC differentiation, which could optimize current cellular culturing protocols for further facilitating tissue engineering by adjusting specific conditions of stem cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that show self-renewal, multi-directional differentiation, and paracrine and immune regulation. As a result of these properties, the MSCs have great clinical application prospects, especially in the regeneration of injured tissues, functional reconstruction, and cell therapy. However, the transplanted MSCs are prone to ageing and apoptosis and have a difficult to control direction differentiation. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively regulate the functions of the MSCs to promote their desired effects. In recent years, it has been found that mitochondria, the main organelles responsible for energy metabolism and adenosine triphosphate production in cells, play a key role in regulating different functions of the MSCs through various mechanisms. Thus, mitochondria could act as effective targets for regulating and promoting the functions of the MSCs. In this review, we discuss the research status and current understanding of the role and mechanism of mitochondrial energy metabolism, morphology, transfer modes, and dynamics on MSC functions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by impaired bone metabolism. Current estimates show that it affects millions of people worldwide and causes a serious socioeconomic burden. Mitophagy plays key roles in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteoblastic differentiation, mineralization, and survival. Apelin is an endogenous adipokine that participates in bone homeostasis. This study was performed to determine the role of Apelin in the osteoporosis process and whether it affects mitophagy, survival, and osteogenic capacity of BMSCs in in vitro and in vivo models of osteoporosis. Our results demonstrated that Apelin was down-regulated in ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis rats and Apelin-13 treatment activated mitophagy in BMSCs, ameliorating oxidative stress and thereby reviving osteogenic function via AMPK-α phosphorylation. Besides, Apelin-13 administration restored bone mass and microstructure as well as reinstated mitophagy, enhanced osteogenic function in OVX rats. Collectively, our findings reveal the intrinsic mechanisms underlying Apelin-13 regulation in BMSCs and its potential therapeutic values in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 8:621601. [PMID: 33490056 PMCID: PMC7817818 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2020.621601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, selective laser melting (SLM) has been thriving in implant dentistry for on-demand fabricating dental implants. Based on the coarse microtopography of SLM titanium surfaces, constructing nanostructure to form the hierarchical micro-nano topography is effective in enhancing osseointegration. Given that current nanomodification techniques of SLM implants, such as anodization and hydrothermal treatment, are facing the inadequacy in costly specific apparatus and reagents, there has been no recognized nanomodified SLM dental implants. The present study aimed to construct hierarchical micro-nano topography on self-made SLM dental implants by a simple and safe inorganic chemical oxidation, and to evaluate its contribution on osteoblastic cells bioactivity and osseointegration. The surface chemical and physical parameters were characterized by FE-SEM, EDS, profilometer, AFM, and contact angle meter. The alteration on bioactivity of MG-63 human osteoblastic cells were detected by qRT-PCR. Then the osseointegration was assessed by implanting implants on the femur condyle of New Zealand Rabbits. The hierarchical micro-nano topography was constituted by the microrough surface of SLM implants and nanoneedles (diameter: 20∼50 nm, height: 150∼250 nm), after nanomodifying SLM implants in 30% hydrogen peroxide and 30% hydrochloride acid (volume ratio 1:2.5) at room temperature for 36 h. Low chemical impurities content and high hydrophilicity were observed in the nanomodified group. Cell experiments on the nanomodified group showed higher expression of mitophagy related gene (PINK1, PARKIN, LC3B, and LAMP1) at 5 days and higher expression of osteogenesis related gene (Runx2 and OCN) at 14 days. In the early stage of bone formation, the nanomodified SLM implants demonstrated higher bone-to-implant contact. Intriguingly, the initial bone-to-implant contact of nanomodified SLM implants consisted of more mineralized bone with less immature osteoid. After the cessation of bone formation, the bone-to-implant contact of nanomodified SLM implants was equal to untreated SLM implants and marketable TixOs implants. The overall findings indicated that the inorganic chemical oxidized hierarchical micro-nano topography could enhance the bioactivity of osteoblastic cells, and consequently promote the peri-implant bone formation and mineralization of SLM dental implants. This study sheds some light on improvements in additive manufactured dental implants.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pivotal to tissue homeostasis, repair, and regeneration due to their potential for self-renewal, multilineage differentiation, and immune modulation. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that maintain their morphology via continuous fission and fusion, also known as mitochondrial dynamics. MSCs undergo specific mitochondrial dynamics during proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, or aging. Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dynamics are key contributors to stem cell fate determination. The coordination of mitochondrial fission and fusion is crucial for cellular function and stress responses, while abnormal fission and/or fusion causes MSC dysfunction. This review focuses on the role of mitochondrial dynamics in MSC commitment under physiological and stress conditions. We highlight mechanistic insights into modulating mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial strategies for stem cell-based regenerative medicine. These findings shed light on the contribution of mitochondrial dynamics to MSC fate and MSC-based tissue repair.

Abstract
Chronic long-term glucocorticoids (GC) use is associated with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) by inhibiting the survival and impairing the functions of osteoblasts. Autophagy and mitophagy play key roles in osteoblast differentiation, mineralization and survival, and mounting evidence have implicated osteoblast autophagy and mitophagy as a novel mechanism in the pathogenesis of GIOP. Vitamin K2 (VK2) is an essential nutrient supplement that have been shown to exert protective effects against osteoporotic bone loss including GIOP. In this study, we showed that the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex) deregulated osteoblast autophagy and mitophagy by downregulating the expression of autophagic and mitophagic markers LC3-II, PINK1, Parkin. This consequently led to inhibition of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization function in vitro. Interestingly, co-treatment with VK2 significantly attenuated the Dex-induced downregulation of LC3-II, PINK1, Parkin, thereby restoring autophagic and mitophagic processes and normal osteoblastic activity. In addition, using an established rat model of GIOP, we showed that VK2 administration can protect rats against the deleterious effects of Dex on bone by reinstating autophagic and mitophagic activities in bone tissues. Collectively, our results provide new insights into the role of osteoblast autophagy and mitophagy in GIOP. Additionally, the use of VK2 supplementation to augment osteoblast autophagy/mitophagy may significantly improve clinical outcomes of GIOP patients.

Abstract
The extensive application of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) brings about inevitable occupational, environmental, and even iatrogenic exposure for human beings. The liver, which is rich in mitochondria, is one of the target organs of SiNPs, but the underlying mechanisms by which these nanoparticles (NPs) interact with liver mitochondria and affect their functions still remain unclear. In the present study, we examined silicon nanoparticle (SiNP)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and further revealed its negative effects on mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in the human liver cell line L-02, including mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy and biogenesis. Consequently, SiNPs induced cellular injury, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial reactive oxygen generation and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse. In line with the transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-observed abnormalities in the mitochondrial morphology and length distribution, a fission phenotype was manifested in the mitochondria of SiNP-exposed cells, and up-regulated DRP1 and FIS1, and down-regulated MFN1, were detected. Furthermore, the enhanced LC3II level, colocalization of the mitochondria and lysosomes, activated PINK1/Parkin signaling, and accumulated p62 in the SiNP-exposed cells suggested mitophagy disorder triggered by SiNPs. In addition, SiNPs inhibited mito-biogenesis, as evidenced by the reduced mitochondrial mass and mtDNA copy number, as well as the suppressed PGC1α-NRF1-TFAM signaling pathway. Overall, the study demonstrates that SiNPs trigger hepatocytotoxicity through interfering with the MQC process, bringing in excessive mitochondrial fission, mitophagy disorder and suppressed mito-biogenesis, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and ensuing cell damage, and ultimately contributing to the occurrence and development of liver diseases. Our research could provide important experimental evidence related to safety assessments of SiNPs, especially in the field of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Human liver-derived stem cells (hLD-SCs) have been proposed as a possible resource for stem cell therapy in patients with irreversible liver diseases. However, it is not known whether liver resident hLD-SCs can differentiate toward a hepatic fate better than mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from other origins. In this study, we compared the differentiation ability and regeneration potency of hLD-SCs with those of human umbilical cord matrix-derived stem cells (hUC-MSCs) by inducing hepatic differentiation. Undifferentiated hLD-SCs expressed relatively high levels of endoderm-related markers (GATA4 and FOXA1). During directed hepatic differentiation supported by two small molecules (Fasudil and 5-azacytidine), hLD-SCs presented more advanced mitochondrial respiration compared to hUC-MSCs. Moreover, hLD-SCs featured higher numbers of hepatic progenitor cell markers on day 14 of differentiation (CPM and CD133) and matured into hepatocyte-like cells by day 7 through 21 with increased hepatocyte markers (ALB, HNF4A, and AFP). During in vivo cell transplantation, hLD-SCs migrated into the liver of ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced mice within 2 h and relieved liver injury. In the thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver injury mouse model, transplanted hLD-SCs trafficked into the liver and spontaneously matured into hepatocyte-like cells within 14 days. These results collectively suggest that hLD-SCs hold greater hepatogenic potential, and hepatic differentiation-induced hLD-SCs may be a promising source of stem cells for liver regeneration.

Abstract
Human exposure to manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) is a public health concern. Endothelial cells lining the inner surface of arteries could be one of the primary targets for inhaled nanoparticles. Moreover, it is well known that alteration in calcium signaling is a critical event involved in the physiopathology of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study was to assess the role of oxidative stress in carbon black FW2 NPs-induced alteration in calcium signaling and mitochondria in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. To this end, cells were exposed for 4 or 24 h to FW2 NPs (1-10 μg/cm2) and the following endpoints were studied: (i) production of ROS by fluorimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance, (ii) variation in intracellular calcium concentration by confocal microscopy, and (iii) mitochondrial alteration and apoptosis by confocal microscopy and transmission electronic microscopy. Exposure to FW2 NPs concentration-dependently increases oxidative stress, evidenced by the production of superoxide anion leading to an alteration in calcium content of intracellular organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria activating, in turn, intrinsic apoptosis. This study provides evidence that FW2 NPs exposure impairs calcium signaling and mitochondria triggered by oxidative stress, and, thus, could act as a cardiovascular disease risk owing to the key role of calcium homeostasis in the control of vascular tone.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, few reports have discussed the effect of miRNAs on the magnesium chloride (MgCl2)-induced promotion of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, a process involved in the healing of bone tissue. As determined in the present investigation, MgCl2 decreased miR-16 levels; increased levels of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), p-p38, and p-ERK; and promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Enhancement of miR-16 levels by an miR-16 mimic blocked these MgCl2-induced changes. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-16 binds to the 3'UTR region of FGF2 mRNA. Down-regulation of FGF2 blocked the MgCl2-induced increases of p-p38 and p-ERK and the promotion of the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, over-expression of miR-16 attenuated the MgCl2-induced overproduction of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 and the high levels of osteogenic differentiation, effects that were reversed by elevated expression of FGF2. In summary, the present findings provide a mechanism by which miR-16 regulates MgCl2-induced promotion of osteogenic differentiation by targeting FGF2-mediated activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Clinically, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic strategies for selectively treating cancer cells. One of the directions in this research is the development of biocompatible therapeutics that selectively target cancer cells. Here, we show that novel aminated graphene oxide (haGO-NH2) nanoparticles demonstrate increased toxicity towards human hepatocellular cancer cells compared to pristine graphene oxide(GO). The applied novel strategy for amination leads to a decrease in the size of haGO-NH2 and their zeta potential, thus, assuring easier penetration through the cell membrane. After characterization of the biological activities of pristine and aminated GO, we have demonstrated strong cytotoxicity of haGO-NH2 toward hepatic cancer cells - HepG2 cell line, in a dose-dependent manner. We have presented evidence that the cytotoxic effects of haGO-NH2 on hepatic cancer cells were due to cell membrane damage, mitochondrial dysfunction and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Intrinsically, our current study provides new rationale for exploiting aminated graphene oxide as an anticancer therapeutic.

Abstract
N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin, MT) at pharmacological concentrations promotes the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; however, its role at physiological concentrations (1 pM–10 nM) remains unclear. We explored the effects of 1 pM–1 µM MT on the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and its underlying mitochondrial dynamics-mediated mechanisms. T he PDLSC phenotype was detected by flow cytometry and evaluated for three-line differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase activity assay and Alizarin red staining were used to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. Osteogenesis-related gene and protein expression levels were measured by quantitative reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Mitochondrial function assays were performed using reactive oxygen species, ATP and NAD+/NADH kits and molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins were assessed by western blotting. Our results have shown that physiological MT concentrations induced differentiation of hPDLSCs and down-regulated osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) expression levels, which were restored or even up-regulated by 1 µM MT (lowest pharmacological concentration). Compared to the osteogenic induction alone, this treatment decreased the intracellular ATP content, whereas the intracellular reactive oxygen species level and NAD+/NADH ratio were increased. Mitochondrial function- and dynamics-related protein expression levels were consistent with those of osteogenic genes following osteogenic induction and MT treatment of hPDLSCs at various physiological concentrations. Physiological MT concentrations inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs and simultaneously altered mitochondrial function. These findings provide insights into the stem cell tissue engineering and functions of MT.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has received significant attention due to its enormous potential in treating critical-sized bone defects and related diseases. Traditional materials such as metals, ceramics, and polymers have been widely applied as BTE scaffolds; however, their clinical applications have been rather limited due to various considerations. Recently, carbon-based nanomaterials attract significant interests for their applications as BTE scaffolds due to their superior properties, including excellent mechanical strength, large surface area, tunable surface functionalities, high biocompatibility as well as abundant and inexpensive nature. In this article, recent studies and advancements on the use of carbon-based nanomaterials with different dimensions such as graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, and carbon dots, for BTE are reviewed. Current challenges of carbon-based nanomaterials for BTE and future trends in BTE scaffolds development are also highlighted and discussed.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation dysfunction is a common pathological phenotype of several prevalent metabolic and genetic bone diseases. Pyruvate kinase muscle isoenzyme 2 (PKM2) regulates the last step of glycolysis, and its role in BMSCs differentiation is still unknown. In this study, the influence of PKM2 on osteogenesis and adipogenesis was assessed in vitro and in vivo. We found that DASA-58 (the activator of PKM2) reduced the enzymatic activity of ALP, and inhibited the levels of osteogenic marker genes, especially RUNX2, which is a crucial transcription factor for osteogenesis. Besides, we provided evidence that C3k, an inhibitor of PKM2, caused increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and maintained low levels of ROS, and promoted mitochondrial fusion. Furthermore, after treatment with DASA-58, the level of active β-catenin gradually decreased, which also inhibited the transport of active β-catenin into the nucleus, but C3k obviously promoted its nuclear translocation. As for adipogenesis, PKM2 activation increased the expression of adipogenic related genes and decreased active-β-catenin expression, whereas treatment of C3k had the opposite effect. In addition, C3k significantly attenuated ovariectomy-induced trabecular bone loss in vivo. Our findings helped uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying PKM2 regulation of BMSCs differentiation.

Abstract
Here we proposed the most recent innovations in the use of Breast Specific Gamma Imaging with 99mTc-sestamibi for the management of breast cancer patients. To this end, we reported the recent discoveries concerning: a) the implementation of both instrumental devices and software, b) the biological mechanisms involved in the 99mTc-sestamibi uptake in breast cancer cells, c) the evaluation of Breast Specific Gamma Imaging with 99mTc-sestamibi as predictive markers of metastatic diseases. In this last case, we also reported preliminary data about the capability of Breast Specific Gamma Imaging with 99mTc-sestamibi to identify breast cancer lesions with high propensity to form bone metastatic lesions due to the presence of Breast Osteoblast-Like Cells.

Abstract
Air pollution has been linked to many health issues, including skin conditions, especially in children. Among all the atmospheric pollutants, ultrafine particles have been deemed very dangerous since they can readily penetrate the lungs and skin, and be absorbed into the bloodstream. Here, we employed a human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-based differentiation system towards keratinocytes, to test the effects of ultrafine carbon particles, which mimic ambient ultrafine particles, at environment related concentrations. We found that 10 ng/mL to 10 μg/mL ultrafine carbon particles down-regulated the expression of the pluripotency marker SOX2 in hESCs. Moreover, 1 μg/mL to 10 μg/mL carbon particle treatments disrupted the keratinocyte differentiation, and up-regulated inflammation- and psoriasis-related genes, such as IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CCL20, CXCL8, and S100A7 and S100A9, respectively. Overall, our results provide a new insight into the potential developmental toxicity of atmospheric ultrafine particles.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 178:211-220.

Abstract
Due to similar aerodynamic and micro-nano sized properties between airborne particles and synthetic nanoparticles, a large number of studies have been conducted using carbon-based particles, such as carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes and graphite, in order to achieve deeper understandings of their adverse effects on human health. It has been reported that particulate matters can aggravate morbidity of patients suffering from bone and joint diseases, e.g. arthritis. However, the molecular mechanism is still elusive thus far. Under this context, we employed two cell lines of osteoblasts, MC3T3-E1 and MG-63, upon exposure to 4 different CB samples with differential physicochemical properties in research of mechanistic insights. Our results indicated that the carbon/oxygen ratio differed in these 4 CB materials showing the order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. In stark contrast, their cytotoxicity and capacity to trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MC3T3-E1 and MG-63 cells closely correlated to oxygen content, revealing the reverse order: SB4A < Printex U < C1864 < C824455. It would be reasonable to speculate that ROS production was a predominant cause of CB cytotoxicity, which strongly relied on the oxygen content of CB. Our study further manifested that all CB samples even at low concentrations significantly inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as reflected by remarkably reduced activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and compromised expression of the differentiation-related genes. And the inhibition on osteoblast differentiation also closely correlated to oxygen content of CB samples. Taken together, our combined data recognized oxygen-associated toxicity towards osteoblasts for CBs. More importantly, we uncovered a new adverse effect of CB exposure: suppression on osteoblast differentiation, which has been overlooked in the past.

Abstract
Owing to the increasing application of engineered nanoparticles (NPs), besides the workplace, human beings are also exposed to NPs from nanoproducts through the skin, respiratory tract, digestive tract and vein injection. This review states pathways of cellular uptake, subcellular distribution and excretion of NPs. The uptake pathways commonly include phagocytosis, micropinocytosis, clathrin- and caveolae-mediated endocytosis, scavenger receptor-related pathway, clathrin- or caveolae-independent pathway, and direct penetration or insertion. Then the ability of NPs to decrease cell viability and metabolic activity, change cell morphology, and destroy cell membrane, cytoskeleton and cell function was presented. In addition, the lowest dose decreasing cell metabolic viability compared with the control or IC50 of silver, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, silica, silicon NPs and cadmium telluride quantum dots to some cell lines was gathered. Next, this review attempts to increase our understanding of NP-caused adverse effects on organelles, which have implications in mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress and lysosomal rupture. In particular, the disturbance of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dynamic fusion-fission, mitophagy and cytochrome c-dependent apoptosis are involved. In addition, prolonged endoplasmic reticulum stress will result in apoptosis. Rupture of the lysosomal membrane was associated with inflammation, and both induction of autophagy and blockade of autophagic flow can result in cytotoxicity. Finally, the network mechanism of the combined action of multiple organelle dysfunction, apoptosis, autophagy and oxidative stress was discussed.

Abstract
A major user of carbon black is the pigment and dyes industry, where carbon black is incorporated into paints, inks, printers, and plastics. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying the toxicity of carbon black to antioxidant proteins. Carbon black can cause oxidative stress to organisms after they invade into the body. Antioxidant proteins play a key role in keeping the organism from nanoparticle-induced oxidative damage and tend to bind with nanoparticles immediately after their invading into the biological environment, so it is meaningful to elucidate the toxicity of nanoparticles on the antioxidant proteins. In this study, the toxicity of carbon black (SB100) on three different antioxidant proteins (TF (transferrin), SOD (superoxide dismutase), and LYZ (lysozyme)) were investigated. The multi-spectra studies indicated that SB100 interacted with these three proteins and changed their structure in different ways. SB100 changed the microenvironment of fluorophores in SOD and LYZ by quenching the fluorescence spectra of the two enzymes, while changed that of TF by increasing the fluorescence intensity of TF. SB100 changed the secondary structure of these three proteins by decreasing the α-helix content of TF and increasing that of SOD and LYZ. Moreover, SB100 changed the hydrophobicity of the three proteins in different ways as well. And SOD exhibits a more severe activity inhibition than LYZ after exposed to SB100. In summary, SB100 caused different structural and functional changes to these three antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Current understanding of the health risks and adverse effects upon exposure to fine particles is premised on the direct association of particles with target organs, particularly the lung; however, fine-particle exposure has also been found to have detrimental effects on sealed cavities distant to the portal-of-entry, such as joints. Moreover, the fundamental toxicological issues have been ascribed to the direct toxic mechanisms, in particular, oxidative stress and proinflammatory responses, without exploring the indirect mechanisms, such as compensated, adaptive, and secondary effects. In this Review, we recapitulate the current findings regarding the detrimental effects of fine-particle exposure on joints, the surrounding cells, and microenvironment, as well as their deteriorating impact on the progression of arthritis. We also elaborate the likely molecular mechanisms underlying the particle-induced detrimental influence on joints, not limited to direct toxicity, but also considering the other indirect mechanisms. Because of the similarities between fine air particles and engineered nanomaterials, we compare the toxicities of engineered nanomaterials to those of fine air particles. Arthritis and joint injuries are prevalent, particularly in the elderly population. Considering the severity of global exposure to fine particles and limited studies assessing the detrimental effects of fine-particle exposure on joints and arthritis, this Review aims to appeal to a broad interest and to promote more research efforts in this field.

Abstract
Cadmium is a common environmental pollutant that causes bone damage. However, the effects of cadmium on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and its mechanism of action in this process are unclear. Here, we determined the effects of cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) on the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs and the potential mechanism involved in this process. As determined in the present investigation, CdCl₂, in a concentration-dependent manner, affected the viability of BMMSCs and their cytoskeletons. Exposure to 0.1 or 0.2 µM CdCl₂ inhibited osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs, which was reflected in the down-regulation of osteoblast-related genes (ALP, OCN, Runx2, OSX, and OPN); in suppression of the protein expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2); and in decreased ALP activity and capacity for mineralization. Moreover, mRNA microarray was performed to determine the roles of these factors in BMMSCs treated with CdCl₂ in comparison to control BMMSCs. As determined with the microarrays, the Wingless-type (Wnt), mothers against decapentaplegic and the C. elegans gene Sam (SMAD), and Janus kinase-Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathways were involved in the effects caused by CdCl₂. Moreover, during differentiation, the protein levels of Wnt3a, β-catenin, lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (LEF1), and T-cell factor 1 (TCF1) were reduced by CdCl₂. The current research shows that CdCl₂ suppresses the osteogenesis of BMMSCs via inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The results establish a previously unknown mechanism for bone injury induced by CdCl₂.
