[PMID: 38599888 PMCID: PMC11372314 DOI: 10.5653/cerm.2023.06744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is extensively utilized as an anti-aging agent and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates Toll-like receptor 4, a process modulated by intracellular signaling pathways such as the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This study investigated the impact of NMN on osteogenesis in the presence of LPS. METHODS To elucidate the role of NMN in osteogenesis in the context of Gram-negative bacterial infection after LPS treatment, we cultured a mouse pre-osteoblast cell line (MC3T3-E1) and subsequently incubated it with NMN and/or LPS. We then evaluated osteogenic activity by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity, assessing gene expression and protein levels, and performing Alizarin Red S staining and immunocytochemistry. RESULTS MC3T3-E1 cells underwent successful differentiation into osteoblasts following treatment with osteogenic induction medium. LPS diminished features related to osteogenic differentiation, which were subsequently partially reversed by treatment with NMN. The restorative effects of NMN on LPS-exposed MC3T3-E1 cells were further substantiated by elucidating the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, as confirmed through immunocytochemistry. CONCLUSION This study showed that infection with Gram-negative bacteria disrupted the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. This adverse effect was partially reversed by administering a high-dose of NMN. Drawing on these results, we propose that NMN could serve as a viable therapeutic strategy to preserve bone homeostasis in elderly and immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Enterococcus faecalis is the leading cause of endodontic treatment failures. Despite various conventional disinfection approaches, microorganisms often persist in root canals. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an adjunct antimicrobial strategy employing a nontoxic photosensitizer (PS) and light source. This study evaluated the antimicrobial effect of PDT using an Nd:YAG laser and resveratrol (RSV) with or without pigment, and confirmed that RSV is nontoxic as a PS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We employed laser irradiation at a 3W output power, using RSV and red pigment as the PS, on an E. faecalis bacterial solution. Subsequently, colony-forming units were quantified. The impact of RSV on osteoblasts was measured using an MTT assay. RESULTS E. faecalis counts declined after laser irradiation. The combined application of laser irradiation with RSV, red pigment, or both showed a reduction compared to no irradiation and control groups without RSV and red pigment. The 50% cytotoxic concentration against osteoblast cells from mice incubated with RSV for 48 h was 162 μM. The value with RSV and laser was 201 μM and that with RSV and red pigment was 199 μM. The value with RSV, laser and red pigment was 357 μM. CONCLUSION The combination of Nd:YAG laser irradiation and RSV as the PS with pigment was efficacious for E. faecalis elimination without inducing any toxic effects on osteoblasts. This combination holds potential as a root canal irrigation strategy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol (Res) inhibits apoptosis and promotes proliferation and differentiation of pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, laying the groundwork for the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). The TCMSP database was used to find the gene targets for Res. The GeneCards database acquire the gene targets for OP. After discovering the potential target genes, GO, KEGG, and Reactome enrichment analysis were conducted. Verifying the major proteins involved in apoptosis can bind to Res using molecular docking. CCK8 measured the proliferative activity of mouse pre-osteoblasts in every group following Res intervention. Alkaline phosphatase staining (ALP) and alizarin red staining to measure the ability of osteogenic differentiation. RT-qPCR to determine the expression levels of Runx2 and OPG genes for osteogenic differentiation ability of cells. Western blot to measure the degree of apoptosis-related protein activity in each group following Res intervention. The biological processes investigated for GO of Res therapeutic OP involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway, negative regulation of apoptotic process, Aging, extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand, according to potential therapeutic target enrichment study. Apoptosis, FoxO signaling pathway, and TNF signaling pathway are the primary KEGG signaling pathways. Recactome pathways are primarily engaged in Programmed Cell Death, Apoptosis, Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway, and Caspase activation via extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways. This research established a new approach for Res treatment of OP by demonstrating how Res controls the apoptosis-related proteins TNF, IL6, and CASP3 to suppress osteoblast death and increase osteoclastogenesis.

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
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate resveratrol's specific role as an anti-inflammatory and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs in periodontitis and to reveal the mechanisms involved. BACKGROUND Numerous studies have shown that inhibiting the inflammatory response of periodontal tissues and promoting the regeneration of alveolar bone are crucial treatments for periodontitis. Resveratrol has been found to have certain anti-inflammatory property. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanism and osteogenic effect of resveratrol in periodontitis are poorly understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS We constructed an in vitro periodontitis model by LPS stimulation of hPDLSCs and performed WB, RT-qPCR, and immunofluorescence to analyze inflammatory factors and related pathways. In addition, we explored the osteogenic ability of resveratrol in in vitro models. RESULTS In vitro, resveratrol ameliorated the inflammatory response associated with activation of the NF-κB pathway through activation of the NRF2/HO-1 pathway, characterized by inhibition of p65/p50 nuclear translocation and the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β levels. Resveratrol also has a positive effect on osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Observations suggest that resveratrol modulates the inflammatory response in hPDLSCs via the NRF2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways and promotes osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Mitochondria plays a role in cell differentiation and apoptosis processes. Maintaining mitochondrial function is critical, and this involves various aspects of mitochondrial quality control such as protein homeostasis, biogenesis, dynamics, and mitophagy. Osteoporosis, a metabolic bone disorder, primarily arises from two factors: the dysregulation between lipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of aging bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and the imbalance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Mitochondrial quality control has the potential to mitigate or even reverse the effects. Among the Sirtuin family, consisting of seven Sirtuins (SIRT1-7), SIRT1-SIRT6 play a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial quality control. Additionally, SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6, and SIRT7 are directly involved in normal bone development and homeostasis by modulating bone cells. However, the precise mechanism by which these Sirtuins exert their effects remains unclear. This article reviews the impact of various aspects of mitochondrial quality control on osteoporosis, focusing on how SIRT1, SIRT3, and SIRT6 can improve osteoporosis by regulating mitochondrial protein homeostasis, biogenesis, and mitophagy. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the current state of clinical and preclinical drugs that can activate Sirtuins to improve osteoporosis. Specific Sirtuin-activating compounds are effective, but further studies are needed. The findings of this study may offer valuable insights for future research on osteoporosis and the development of clinical prevention and therapeutic target strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is a dramatic inflammatory disease, representing vigorous interactions between specific causative pathogens and host immune responses resulting in the activation of the destructive inflammatory cascade with the subsequent irreversible destruction of the teeth-supporting apparatus. AIM This study aims to evaluate the effect of using erythropoietin (EPO) injectable hydrogel, as an additional therapeutic option to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of stage II periodontitis patients, and to assess its effect on the level of osteocalcin and interleukin (IL)-1β in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). METHODOLOGY A total number of 40 patients clinically diagnosed with stage II periodontitis were included. The participants were allocated into two equal groups: study and control groups. Patients in the control group received SRP, while those in the study group received SRP followed by injectable hydrogel containing EPO. Clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline and two months post treatment. GCF samples were collected at baseline and two months post treatment from both groups to analyze GCF IL-1β and osteocalcin levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Significant reductions in all tested clinical parameters were revealed in both groups in comparison to baseline values. A marked significant reduction in GCF IL-1β level was detected in the study group. However, two months post treatment, the osteocalcin level was decreased significantly in both groups. CONCLUSION This preliminary study shows great promise for the local application of EPO hydrogel as an adjunct to SRP for the management of stage II periodontitis.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. TNF-α slows down osteogenic differentiation, which may contribute to poor bone development in the inflammatory microenvironment. TNF-α inhibits osteogenic differentiation by activating the JAK-STAT3 pathway, of which Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-interacting protein 1 (StIP1, also known as elongator complex protein 2, ELP2) is a key protein in the JAK-STAT3 pathway. We investigated whether and how ELP2 activation mediates the TNF-α-induced pyroptosis during osteoblastic differentiation. Using in vitro cell cultures of preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, we found that TNF-α exposure causes cell pyroptosis in an inflammatory microenvironment during osteoblastic differentiation. Bioinformatics, protein docking model and co-immunoprecipitation analysis revealed an association between ELP2, STAT3 and NLRP3. Forced ELP2 expression promoted MC3T3-E1 cells pyroptosis, with an increase in the expression of STAT3, NLRP3 inflammasome, GSDMD/GSDME, osteoblast marker genes, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase. In contrast, ELP2 silencing ameliorated MC3T3-E1 cells pyroptosis, and osteogenic differentiation, especially after TNF-α stimulation. The TNF-α-induced cells pyroptosis during osteoblastic differentiation was therefore mediated by ELP2. These results suggest that ELP2 is upregulated at the pyroptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells and inhibits osteogenic differentiation in response to TNF-α through NLRP3-GSDMD/GSDME activation.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are promising agents for the prevention of osteoporosis. 5-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)-γ-valerolactone (DHPV) is the major microbiota metabolite of the flavan-3-ols phenolic compound. Herein, we aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of DHPV on an osteoblast cell model with H2O2-induced oxidative injury. The MC3T3-E1 cell cultured with H2O2 was used as an oxidative injury model after pretreating with DHPV. Pretreatment with DHPV significantly attenuated cell viability decline, enhanced the activity of alkaline phosphatase and mineralization capacity in MC3T3-E1 cells. Reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as well as increased in mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities indicated that DHPV affected both the oxidative and antioxidative processes in the cells. DHPV administration increased the LC3-II/I ratio and Beclin-1 protein levels, thereby promoting autophagy, which perhaps contributes to ROS elimination. However, the inhibition of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) by SIRT1 small interfering RNA reduced the protective effect of DHPV or SRT1720, as revealed by the increased ROS and MDA levels and decreased SOD, LC3-II/I ratio and Beclin-1 levels. DHPV may promote autophagy and reduce oxidative stress through the SIRT1-mediated pathway, thereby protecting MC3T3-E1 cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament is a crucial tissue that provides support to the periodontium. Situated between the alveolar bone and the tooth root, it consists primarily of fibroblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and epithelial cell rests of Malassez. Fibroblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts are functionally differentiated cells, whereas PDLSCs are undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells. The dynamic development of these cells is intricately linked to periodontal changes and homeostasis. Notably, the regulation of programmed cell death facilitates the clearance of necrotic tissue and plays a pivotal role in immune response. However, it also potentially contributes to the loss of periodontal supporting tissues and root resorption. These findings have significant implications for understanding the occurrence and progression of periodontitis, as well as the mechanisms underlying orthodontic root resorption. Further, the regulation of periodontal ligament cell (PDLC) death is influenced by both systemic and local factors. This comprehensive review focuses on recent studies reporting the mechanisms of PDLC death and related factors.

Cai W, Sun B, Song C, Liu F, Wu Z, Liu Z. Resveratrol induces proliferation and differentiation of mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 by promoting autophagy. BMC Complement Med Ther 2023; 23:121. [PMID: 37060066 PMCID: PMC10103476 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-023-03943-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In mouse, it was discovered that resveratrol (Res) enhanced osteoporosis (OP) by boosting osteogenesis. Besides, Res can also have an impact on MC3T3-E1 cells, which are crucial for the control of osteogenesis and thus increase osteogenesis. Although some articles have discovered that Res enhanced autophagy to promote the value-added differentiation of MC3T3, it is unclear exactly how this affects the process of osteogenesis in mouse. Therefore, we will show that Res encourages MC3T3-E1 proliferation and differentiation in mouse pre-osteoblasts and further investigate the autophagy-related mechanism for this impact. METHODS (1) MC3T3-E1 cells were separated into blank control group and various concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100µmol/L) of group in order to determine the ideal Res concentration. In the Res group, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to measure the proliferation activity of pre-osteoblasts in mice in each group after resveratrol intervention. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining were used to gauge the degree of osteogenic differentiation, and RT-qPCR was used to measure the expression levels of Runx2 and OCN in the osteogenic differentiation ability of the cells. (2) In the experiment, four groups were set up: the control group, 3MA group, Res group, and Res + 3MA group. To examine cell mineralization, ALP and alizarin red staining were utilized. RT-qPCR and Western blot detection of cell autophagy activity levels and osteogenic differentiation capacity in each group following intervention. RESULTS (1) Resveratrol might increase the number of mice pre-osteoblast, with the impact being most pronounced at 10µmol/L (P < 0.05). The nodules developed substantially more often than in the blank control group, and Runx2 and OCN expressions significantly increased (P < 0.05). (2) In contrast to the Res group, after 3MA purine blocked autophagy, the Res + 3MA group's alkaline phosphatase staining and the development of mineralized nodules were reduced. Runx2, OCN, LC3II / LC3I expression decreased, p62 expression increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study partially or indirectly demonstrated that Res may, through increased autophagy, induce osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Bone stability is precisely controlled by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. When the balance is broken, the integrity of the bone structure will be destroyed. Inflammasomes are important protein complexes in response to pathogen-related molecular models or injury-related molecular models, which can promote the activation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and activate a local inflammatory response. NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein (NLRP) 3 inflammasome can promote bone resorption through the activation of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18 and the induction of caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis. Inhibiting the production of NLRP3 inflammasome may be beneficial to improve comfort and bone stability. The presence of metal particles and microorganisms around implants can activate NLRP3 and promote bone absorption. NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in the maintenance of bone stability around implants, however, most studies focus on orthopedic implants and periodontitis. This article reviews the effects of NLRP3 inflammasome on bone formation, resorption and pain induced by implants, and the possibility of NLRP3 as a target for preventing peri-implantitis is discussed.

Erythromycin Restores Osteoblast Differentiation and Osteogenesis Suppressed by Porphyromonas gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:303.

Abstract
The macrolide erythromycin (ERM) inhibits excessive neutrophil accumulation and bone resorption in inflammatory tissues. We previously reported that the expression of developmental endothelial locus-1 (DEL-1), an endogenous anti-inflammatory factor induced by ERM, is involved in ERM action. Furthermore, DEL-1 is involved in the induction of bone regeneration. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether ERM exerts an osteoblastogenic effect by upregulating DEL-1 under inflammatory conditions. We performed in vitro cell-based mechanistic analyses and used a model of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced periodontitis to evaluate how ERM restores osteoblast activity. In vitro, P. gingivalis LPS stimulation suppressed osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However, ERM treatment combined with P. gingivalis LPS stimulation upregulated osteoblast differentiation-related factors and Del1, indicating that osteoblast differentiation was restored. Alveolar bone resorption and gene expression were evaluated in a periodontitis model, and the results confirmed that ERM treatment increased DEL-1 expression and suppressed bone loss by increasing the expression of osteoblast-associated factors. In conclusion, ERM restores bone metabolism homeostasis in inflammatory environments possibly via the induction of DEL-1.

Abstract
Mitochondria are widely considered the "power hub" of the cell because of their pivotal roles in energy metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. However, beyond the production of ATP, which is the major source of chemical energy supply in eukaryotes, mitochondria are also central to calcium homeostasis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) balance, and cell apoptosis. The mitochondria also perform crucial multifaceted roles in biosynthetic pathways, serving as an important source of building blocks for the biosynthesis of fatty acid, cholesterol, amino acid, glucose, and heme. Since mitochondria play multiple vital roles in the cell, it is not surprising that disruption of mitochondrial function has been linked to a myriad of diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and metabolic disorders. In this review, we discuss the key physiological and pathological functions of mitochondria and present bioactive compounds with protective effects on the mitochondria and their mechanisms of action. We highlight promising compounds and existing difficulties limiting the therapeutic use of these compounds and potential solutions. We also provide insights and perspectives into future research windows on mitochondrial modulators.

Abstract
Mitochondria are important organelles that provide cellular energy and play a vital role in cell differentiation and apoptosis. Osteoporosis is a chronic metabolic bone disease mainly caused by an imbalance in osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Under physiological conditions, mitochondria regulate the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast activity and maintain bone homeostasis. Under pathological conditions, mitochondrial dysfunction alters this balance; this disruption is important in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Because of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoporosis, mitochondrial function can be targeted therapeutically in osteoporosis-related diseases. This article reviews different aspects of the pathological mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoporosis, including mitochondrial fusion and fission, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitophagy, and highlights targeted therapy of mitochondria in osteoporosis (diabetes induced osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis) to provide novel targets and prevention strategies for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and other chronic bone diseases.

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
Background: Hydrophilic dental implants are gaining increasing interest for their ability to accelerate bone formation. However, commercially available hydrophilic implants, such as SLActive™, have some major limitations due to their time-dependent biological aging and lower cost-effectiveness. The non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment is a reliable way to gain a hydrophilic surface and enhance osseointegration. However, a few studies have been carried out to compare the osseointegration of NTAP-functionalized titanium implants and commercially available hydrophilic implants.Purpose: In this study, we compare the osseointegration abilities of the NTAP-functionalized titanium implant and Straumann SLActive.Material and methods: The NTAP effectiveness was examined using in vitro cell experiments. Then, six beagle dogs were included in the in vivo experiment. Straumann SLActive implants, SLA implants, and SLA implants treated with NTAP were implanted in the mandibular premolar area of dogs. After 2 w, 4 w, and 8 w, the animals were sacrificed and specimens were collected. Radiographic and histological analyses were used to measure osseointegration.Results: NTAP treatment accelerated the initial attachment and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. In the in vivo experiment, bone parameters (e.g., BIC value and BV/TV) and volume of new bone of NTAP groups were close to those of the SLActive group. Additionally, although there was no statistical difference, the osseointegration of SLActive and NTAP groups was evidently superior to that of the SLA group.Conclusion: NTAP-functionalized implants enhanced cell interaction with material and subsequent bone formation. The osseointegration of the NTAP-functionalized implant was comparable to that of the SLActive implant at the early osseointegration stage.

Resveratrol Synergistically Promotes BMP9-Induced Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Stem Cells Int 2022; 2022:8124085.

Abstract
Background. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. Resveratrol and bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) are known osteogenic induction factors of MSCs, but the effect of both resveratrol and BMP9 on osteogenesis is unknown. Herein, we explored whether resveratrol cooperates with BMP9 to improve osteogenic induction. Methods. The osteogenic induction of resveratrol and BMP9 on C3H10T1/2 cells was evaluated by detecting the staining and activity of the early osteogenic marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In addition, the late osteogenic effect was measured by the mRNA and protein levels of osteogenic markers, such as osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN). To assess the bone formation function of resveratrol plus BMP9 in vivo, we transplanted BMP9-infected C3H10T1/2 cells into nude mice followed by intragastric injection of resveratrol. Western blot (WB) analysis was utilized to elucidate the mechanism of resveratrol plus BMP9. Results. Resveratrol not only enhanced osteogenic induction alone but also improved BMP9-induced ALP at 3, 5, and 7 d postinduction. Both the early osteogenic markers (ALP, Runx2, and SP7) and the late osteogenic markers (OPN and OCN) were significantly increased when resveratrol was combined with BMP9. The fetal limb explant culture further verified these results. The in vivo bone formation experiment, which involved transplanting BMP9-overexpressing C3H10T1/2 cells into nude mice, also confirmed that resveratrol synergistically enhanced the BMP9-induced bone formation function. Resveratrol phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate- (AMP-) activated protein kinase (AMPK) and stimulated autophagy, but these effects were abolished by inhibiting AMPK and Beclin1 using an inhibitor or siRNA. Conclusions. Resveratrol combined with BMP9 significantly improves the osteogenic induction of C3H10T1/2 cells by activating AMPK and autophagy.

Abstract
Inflammation and redox imbalance are hallmarks of cancer, diabetes, and other degenerative disorders. Pathophysiological response to these disorders leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by alterations and reprogramming in cellular signaling and metabolism. Pancreatic beta cells are very sensitive to the inflammatory and altered nutrient signals and hence play a crucial role in diabetes and cancer. In this study, we treated insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells, Rin-5F, with the bacterial endotoxin, LPS (1 μg/ml) to induce an inflammatory response in vitro and then treated the cells with a known anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant phytochemical, azadirachtin (AZD, 25 µM for 24 h). Our results demonstrated lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide production causing increased nitro/oxidative stress and alterations in the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase after LPS treatment. Pro-inflammatory responses caused by translocation of nuclear factor kappa B and release of inflammatory cytokines were also observed. These changes were accompanied by GSH-dependent redox imbalance and alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential and respiratory complexes enzyme activities leading to mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, reduced ATP synthesis, and intrinsic caspase-9 mediated apoptosis. Caspase-9 was activated due to alterations in Bcl-2 and Bax proteins and release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. The activities of oxidative stress-sensitive mitochondrial matrix enzymes, aconitase, and glutamate dehydrogenase were also inhibited. Treatment with AZD showed beneficial effects on the recovery of antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory responses, and mitochondrial functions. GSH-dependent redox homeostasis also recovered after the treatment with AZD. This study may help in better understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of inflammation-induced disorders in pancreatic beta cells to better manage therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a pathological condition involving tissues around dental implants that are characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. We found that the antimicrobial peptide KR-12-3 (KRIVKWIKKFLR) derived from LL-37 had antibacterial properties against Streptococcus gordonii. The purpose of this study was to evaluate its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities and its underlying mechanisms. We evaluated the antibacterial activities of antimicrobial peptides in planktonic and biofilm states by measuring their minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration, and biofilm susceptibility. The effects of antimicrobial peptides on the production of IL-6 and IL-8 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and other experiments, and their toxicity to MC3T3-E1 cells was also studied. While maintaining low cytotoxicity, KR-12-3 exhibited growth inhibitory effects on S. gordonii in planktonic and biofilm states. Lower concentrations of KR-12-3 treatment reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW264.8 cells. The mechanisms underlying the inhibition of biofilm formation and anti-inflammatory effects have been associated with the low expression of related genes. KR-12-3 may be used to develop an antibacterial, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory drugs for peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Oxidative stress involves enormously in the development of chronic inflammatory bone disease, wherein the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) negatively impacts the bone remodeling via promoting osteoclastogenesis and inhibiting osteogenesis. Lacking effective therapies highlights the importance of finding novel treatments. Our previous study screened a novel bioactive peptide D7 and demonstrated it could enhance the cell behaviors and protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Since BMSCs are progenitor cells of osteoblast (OB), we therefore ask whether D7 could also protect against the progress of inflammatory osteolysis. To validate our hypothesis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we first performed network pharmacology-based analysis according to the molecule structure of D7, and then followed by pharmacological evaluation on D7 by in vitro lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced models. The result from network pharmacology identified 20 candidate targets of D7 for inflammatory osteolysis intervention. The further analysis of Gene Ontology (GO)/KEGG pathway enrichment suggested the therapeutic effect of D7 may primarily affect osteoclast (OC) differentiation and function during the inflammatory osteolysis. Through validating the real effects of D7 on OC and OB as postulated, results demonstrated suppressive effects of D7 on LPS-stimulated OC differentiation and resorption, via the inhibition on OC marker genes. Contrarily, by improving the expression of OB marker genes, D7 displayed promotive effects on OB differentiation and alleviated LPS-induced osteogenic damage. Further mechanism study revealed that D7 could reduce LPS-induced ROS formation and strengthen antioxidants expressions in both OC and OB precursors, ameliorating LPS-triggered redox imbalance in bone remodeling. Taken together, our findings unveiled therapeutic effects of D7 against LPS-induced inflammatory osteolysis through the suppression of oxidative stress and the restoration of the bone remodeling process, providing a new therapeutic candidate for chronic inflammatory bone diseases.

Effects of runt-related transcription factor 2 ( RUNX2) on the autophagy of rapamycin-treated osteoblasts. Bioengineered 2022; 13:5262-5276. [PMID: 35170378 PMCID: PMC8973582 DOI: 10.1080/21655979.2022.2037881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Autophagy occurs throughout the development and maturation of bone tissues and various types of bone cells and plays a vital role in osteoporosis progression. This study aimed to explore the role of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in osteoblast autophagy and its related molecular mechanisms. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of rapamycin, and their viability was determined using a cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The cells were then transfected with si-RUNX2 and RUNX2 overexpression plasmids, and the viability of these rapamycin-treated cells was measured using CCK-8, while the expression of autophagy-related genes/proteins and osteoblast differentiation-related genes was determined using Western blotting and RT-qPCR. Finally, Alizarin red staining was used to observe osteoblast mineralization, and transmission electron microscopy was employed to detect autophagosomes in cells administered different treatments. Rapamycin significantly inhibited cell viability and promoted cell autophagy compared with the control (P < 0.05). Cells with RUNX2 knockdown and overexpression were successfully established. Further, RUNX2 overexpression was found to significantly enhance the viability and osteoblast mineralization of rapamycin-treated cells and suppress cell autophagy. RUNX2 overexpression also increased p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK levels and ALP, OCN, and OSX expression, and markedly downregulated Beclin-1, LC3-II/LC3-I, p62, ATG1, p-Beclin-1, and ATG5 levels (P < 0.05). However, the trends after RUNX2 knockdown opposed those observed after RUNX2 overexpression. RUNX2 may regulate osteoblast differentiation and autophagy by mediating autophagy-related and osteoblast differentiation-related genes/proteins, as well as the p38MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
To improve the sintering performance of silicon nitride bioceramics, we explored the effect of β-SiAlON's Z-value on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of β-SiAlON-Si3N4 composites. Results showed that the phase product was β-Si3N4. As the Z-value increased, the X-ray diffraction peaks gradually shifted to a smaller angle, the material grains were more tightly packed, and the bulk density and compressive strength increased, reaching the highest values (2.71 g/cm3 and 1157 MPa, respectively) at Z = 4. Soaking and ion-release experiments show that in an aqueous environment, a small amount of Al and Si ions were released, and no obvious decomposition occurred on the surface of the material. The biological performance showed that the growth of cultured cells in each group was in good condition, there was no obvious difference in morphology and adhesion, and the materials had good biological performance. An increase in the Z-value promotes the formation of mineralized nodules and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells, which may be because the release of Si can promote osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, the addition of β-SiAlON could improve the sintering performance of β-Si3N4 without degrading its biological properties. The prepared β-SiAlON-Si3N4 composite ceramic is a latent bioceramic material.

Abstract
Background Human aortic valve interstitial cells (hAVICs) are a key factor in the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). This research examines the role and mechanism of microRNA miR-138-5p in osteogenic differentiation of hAVICs. Methods RT-qPCR analysis was applied for detecting miR-138-5p and RUNX2 expression in valve tissues of CAVD patients and controls. On completion of induction of osteogenic differentiation of hAVICs, and after overexpression or interference of miR-138-5p expression, the condition of osteogenic differentiation and calcification of hAVICs was confirmed using alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining. Subsequently, western blot was utilized to detect the expression of osteogenesis-related proteins OPN and ALP, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins. Finally, the relationship between miR-138-5p and RUNX2 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and Pearson’s correlation test. Results Down-regulation of miR-138-5p was found in CAVD patients and during osteogenic differentiation of hAVICs. Overexpression of miR-138-5p contribute to the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation and calcium deposition in hAVICs, and of ALP and OPN protein expression. RUNX2 was a target gene of miR-138-5p, and it was negatively correlated with miR-138-5p in CAVD. Additionally, overexpression of RUNX2 could reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-138-5p on osteogenic differentiation of hAVICs. Conclusion miR-138-5p can act as a positive regulator of osteogenic differentiation in CAVD patients to involve in inhibiting valve calcification, which is achieved through RUNX2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Front Mol Neurosci 2022; 14:811171.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a fragment of the bacterial cell wall, specifically interacting with protein complexes on the cell surface, can induce the production of pro-inflammatory and apoptotic signaling molecules, leading to the damage and death of brain cells. Similar effects have been noted in stroke and traumatic brain injury, when the leading factor of death is glutamate (Glu) excitotoxicity too. But being an amphiphilic molecule with a significant hydrophobic moiety and a large hydrophilic region, LPS can also non-specifically bind to the plasma membrane, altering its properties. In the present work, we studied the effect of LPS from Escherichia coli alone and in combination with the hyperstimulation of Glu-receptors on the functional state of mitochondria and Ca2+ homeostasis, oxygen consumption and the cell survival in primary cultures from the rats brain cerebellum and cortex. In both types of cultures, LPS (0.1–10 μg/ml) did not change the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in resting neurons but slowed down the median of the decrease in [Ca2+]i on 14% and recovery of the mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm) after Glu removal. LPS did not affect the basal oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of cortical neurons; however, it did decrease the acute OCR during Glu and LPS coapplication. Evaluation of the cell culture survival using vital dyes and the MTT assay showed that LPS (10 μg/ml) and Glu (33 μM) reduced jointly and separately the proportion of live cortical neurons, but there was no synergism or additive action. LPS-effects was dependent on the type of culture, that may be related to both the properties of neurons and the different ratio between neurons and glial cells in cultures. The rapid manifestation of these effects may be the consequence of the direct effect of LPS on the rheological properties of the cell membrane.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease commonly observed in the elderly, and its pathogenesis is associated with declined osteogenic differentiation. Osteogenic differentiation could be facilitated by the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. Saxagliptin, an anti-diabetic agent with inhibitory effects against dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4), has been recently reported to induce the activation of the AMPK pathway. The present study proposes to explore the function and mechanism of Saxagliptin in osteogenic differentiation. Osteogenic differentiation induction medium (ODIM) was utilized to induce osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. Significantly increased mineral nodule formation, elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and upregulated expression of osteogenic marker genes activating transcription factor-4 (ATF-4), osteopontin (OPN), and type I collagen (Col1) were observed in ODIM-cultured MC3T3-E1 cells, all of which were further enhanced by the introduction of Saxagliptin. The elevated expression level of runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx-2), an important transcriptional factor involved in the progression of osteogenic differentiation, in ODIM-cultured MC3T3-E1 cells was further promoted by Saxagliptin. The AMPK pathway in ODIM-cultured MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly activated by Saxagliptin, and the functions of Saxagliptin in promoting osteogenic differentiation were abolished by compound C, the inhibitor of the AMPK pathway. Conclusively, Saxagliptin enhanced osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells, dependent on the activation of AMPKα/RUNX-2.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the roles of adipose mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) binding with chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) in cartilage injury, as well as the related mechanisms. Results IL-1β treatment significantly inhibited the viability and migration of chondrocytes and enhanced cell apoptosis (P < 0.05), while chitosan oligosaccharides and extracellular vesicles-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates (EVs-COS/EVs-COS conjugates) reversed the changes induced by IL-1β (P < 0.05), and the effects of extracellular vesicles-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates were better than those of chitosan oligosaccharides (P < 0.05). After cartilage damage, IL-1β, OPN, and p53 were significantly upregulated, COL1A1, COL2A1, OCN, RUNX2, p-Akt/Akt, PI3K, c-Myc, and Bcl2 were markedly downregulated, and extracellular vesicles-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates reversed the expression induced by cartilage injury. Through sequencing, 760 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) clustered into four expression patterns were associated with negative regulation of the canonical Wnt, PI3K-Akt, AMPK, and MAPK signaling pathways. Conclusion Extracellular vesicles-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugates may serve as a new cell-free biomaterial to facilitate cartilage injury repair and improve osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to explore the effect and molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 overlapping transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). METHODS The hPDLSCs of normal periodontal tissues were isolated and cultured. The mineralized solution induced the osteoblast differentiation of hPDLSCs. The down-regulation of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1, the overexpression of anti-miR-24-3p on the proliferation and the levels of osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of hPDLSCs were investigated. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the levels of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1, miR-24-3p, OCN, OPN, and ALP. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to detect cell viability and activity. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT. Western blot was used to detect protein expression. The targeted relationship between lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-24-3p was detected by double-luciferase experiment. RESULTS The expression level of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 increased, and that of miR-24-3p decreased during the osteogenesis of hPDLSCs (P<0.05). The down-regulation of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 inhibited cell proliferation and reduced the mRNA and protein expression levels of OCN, OPN, and ALP (P<0.05). LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 targeted and regulated miR-24-3p. The overexpression of miR-24-3p inhibited cell proliferation and reduced the mRNA and protein expression levels of OCN, OPN, and ALP (P<0.05). Inhibition of miR-24-3p reversed the effect of the down-regulation of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 on cell proliferation and mRNA and protein expression levels of OCN, OPN, and ALP (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by targeting the up-regulated expression of miR-24-3p.

Effects of Extracellular Osteoanabolic Agents on the Endogenous Response of Osteoblastic Cells. Cells 2021; 10:cells10092383. [PMID: 34572032 PMCID: PMC8471159 DOI: 10.3390/cells10092383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The complex multidimensional skeletal organization can adapt its structure in accordance with external contexts, demonstrating excellent self-renewal capacity. Thus, optimal extracellular environmental properties are critical for bone regeneration and inextricably linked to the mechanical and biological states of bone. It is interesting to note that the microstructure of bone depends not only on genetic determinants (which control the bone remodeling loop through autocrine and paracrine signals) but also, more importantly, on the continuous response of cells to external mechanical cues. In particular, bone cells sense mechanical signals such as shear, tensile, loading and vibration, and once activated, they react by regulating bone anabolism. Although several specific surrounding conditions needed for osteoblast cells to specifically augment bone formation have been empirically discovered, most of the underlying biomechanical cellular processes underneath remain largely unknown. Nevertheless, exogenous stimuli of endogenous osteogenesis can be applied to promote the mineral apposition rate, bone formation, bone mass and bone strength, as well as expediting fracture repair and bone regeneration. The following review summarizes the latest studies related to the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells, enhanced by mechanical forces or supplemental signaling factors (such as trace metals, nutraceuticals, vitamins and exosomes), providing a thorough overview of the exogenous osteogenic agents which can be exploited to modulate and influence the mechanically induced anabolism of bone. Furthermore, this review aims to discuss the emerging role of extracellular stimuli in skeletal metabolism as well as their potential roles and provide new perspectives for the treatment of bone disorders.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plays a critical role in the success of lumbar spinal fusion with autogenous bone graft. This study aims to explore the role and specific mechanism of miR-34c-5p in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Methods and Results Rabbit model of lumbar fusion was established by surgery. The osteogenic differentiation dataset of mesenchymal stem cells was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and differentially expressed miRNAs were analyzed using R language (limma package). The expressions of miR-34c-5p, miR-199a-5p, miR-324-5p, miR-361-5p, RUNX2, OCN and Bcl-2 were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. ELISA, Alizarin red staining and CCK-8 were used to detect the ALP content, calcium deposition and proliferation of BMSCs. The targeted binding sites between miR-34c-5p and Bcl-2 were predicted by the Target database and verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay. MiR-34c-5p expression was higher in rabbit lumbar fusion model and differentiated BMSCs than normal rabbit or BMSCs. The content of ALP and the deposition of calcium increased with the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Upregulation of miR-34c-5p reduced cell proliferation and promoted ALP content, calcium deposition, RUNX2 and OCN expression compared with the control group. The effects of miR-34c-5p inhibitor were the opposite. In addition, miR-34c-5p negatively correlated with Bcl-2. Upregulation of Bcl-2 reversed the effects of miR-34c-5p on ALP content, calcium deposition, and the expressions of RUNX2 and OCN. Conclusions miR-34c-5p could promote osteogenic differentiation and suppress proliferation of BMSCs by inhibiting Bcl-2.

Abstract
To explore the optimal combination of Mg2+, Sr2+ and mineralized collagen (nHAC) with two different proportions of hydroxyapatite (HA) and collagen (COL) on differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and the underlying mechanism, as well as achieve bone osseointegration. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in a complete medium with Mg2+ at the concentration of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 mmol/L, Sr2+ at the concentration of 0, 3, 6, 12 mmol/L, and the impregnation solution of 3:7 and 5:5nHAC. The differentiation of MC3T3-E1 was measured by expression of osteogenic genes and proteins including Runx-2, BMP-2 and OCN and determined the activation of PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway in 12 mmol/LMg2++3 mmol/LSr2++3:7nHAC group. Osteoporosis was induced in 18 female rats by means of ovariectomy, the implants were immersed in 60 mmol/LMg2++15 mmol/LSr2++3:7nHAC impregnation solution and implanted into the mesial alveolar fossa for immediate implantation. The osseointegration of the implants was observed by Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and histology at 4 and 8 weeks. The groups cultured with 12 mmol/LMg2+, 3 mmol/LSr2+ and 3:7nHAC impregnation solution showed the osteogenic genes and proteins were significantly higher respectively (P < 0.05), as well as p-Akt, p-GSK3β and β-catenin proteins (P < 0.05). CLSM and histology showed that the implant surface was surrounded by thick lamellar bone plate, and the trabecular bone were dense and continuous in the impregnation solution. These results found that magnesium and strontium ion-loaded mineralized collagen play an critical role in up-regulating the cells activity through PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway and could be promote the formation of osseointegration.

Abstract
Hypertension is a prevalent systemic disease in the elderly, who can suffer from several pathological skeletal conditions simultaneously, including osteoporosis. Benidipine (BD), which is widely used to treat hypertension, has been proved to have a beneficial effect on bone metabolism. In order to confirm the osteogenic effects of BD, we investigated its osteogenic function using mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells in vitro. The proliferative ability of MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly associated with the concentration of BD, as measured by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cell cycle assay. With BD treatment, the osteogenic differentiation and maturation of MC3T3-E1 cells were increased, as established by the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity test, matrix mineralized nodules formation, osteogenic genetic test, and protein expression analyses. Moreover, our data showed that the BMP2/Smad pathway could be the partial mechanism for the promotion of osteogenesis by BD, while BD might suppress the possible function of osteoclasts through the OPG/RANKL/RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)) pathway. The hypothesis that BD bears a considerable potential in further research on its dual therapeutic effect on hypertensive patients with poor skeletal conditions was proved within the limitations of the present study.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a natural polyphenolic compound with a broad range of physiological and pharmacological properties. Previous studies have shown that RES also plays an important role in protecting and promoting early bone metabolism and differentiation. The accumulation of cadmium (Cd), one of the world's most poisonous substances, can inhibit skeletal growth and bone maturation, thus causing osteoporosis. However, whether RES can prevent the Cd-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation remains unknown. In this study, we found that RES promoted the early maturity of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, as demonstrated by the significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of a range of differentiation markers, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen 1 (COL1), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). In contrast, we found that cadmium chloride (CdCl2) inhibited the viability and osteogenic maturity of MC3T3-E1 cells. We also demonstrated that RES pretreatment for 30 min provided significant protection against Cd-induced apoptosis and attenuated the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation induced by Cd by modulating ERK1/2 and JNK signaling. In conclusion, our results indicate that RES is a potential femoral protectant that not only enhance the viability and early differentiation of osteoblasts, but also protect osteoblasts from cadmium damage.

Abstract
Introduction: Resveratrol (RES) exhibits estrogen-like effects and has potential applications to treatment of osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency; however, the specific mechanism of action of RES remains unclear. Here, we examined the therapeutic effects of RES on ovariectomized (OVX) rats with osteoporosis and determined the underlying mechanism. Methods: We established an OVX rat model to study osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency. The treatment groups were given orally with RES (50, 100, and 200 mg/day), the estrogen group received 0.8 mg/kg E2 daily via oral route, and the sham-operated and control groups received an equivalent dose of sodium carboxymethylcellulose orally. After 12 weeks of treatment, we used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analysis to measure the gene and protein expression of miR-92b-3p, Nox4, NF-κBp65, IκB, BMP2, Smad7, and RUNX-2 in bone tissues. Right femur structural parameters were evaluated by micro-CT. Dual-energy X-ray 4500 W was used to determine systemic bone mineral density (BMD). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to determine the serum levels of bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteoprotegerin (OPG), anti-tartrate acid phosphatase-5b (PTRA5b), and carboxylated terminal peptide (CTX-I). The rat femoral bone specimens were stained using hematoxylin and eosin for pathological examination Results: We observed increased levels of serum estrogen in both ovaries, elevated miR-92b-3p levels in bone tissues, reduced levels of Nox4, NF-κBp65, p-IκB-a, and cathepsin K, and elevated gene and protein expression of BMP2, Smad7, and RUNX-2 in the OVX rat model of osteoporosis after treatment with RES. Elevated levels of BALP, OPG, ALP, and BMD along with reduced levels of TRAP-5b and CTX-I were also observed. The structural model index (SMI) and the trabecular space (Tb. Sp) decreased, while the trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and tissue bone density (Conn.D) increased, thereby improving osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency in both ovaries. Conclusion: Cathepsin K expression and Nox4/NF-κB signaling pathway were suppressed by the elevated expression of miR-92b-3p. This inhibition was pivotal in the protective effect of RES against osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency in both ovaries. Thus, RES efficiently alleviated osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency in rats.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase, epigenetically regulates various cell metabolisms, including inflammation, tumorigenesis, and bone metabolism. Many clinical studies have found the potential of SIRT1 in predicting and treating bone-related disorders, such as osteoporosis and osteonecrosis, suggesting that SIRT1 might be a regulator of bone homeostasis. In order to identify the mechanisms that underlie the pivotal role of SIRT1 in bone homeostasis, many studies revealed that SIRT1 could maintain the balance between bone formation and absorption via regulating the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts. SIRT1 controls the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and bone marrow-derived macrophages, increasing osteogenesis and reducing osteoclastogenesis. Besides, SIRT1 can enhance bone-forming cells' viability, including MSCs and osteoblasts under adverse conditions by resisting senescence, suppressing apoptosis, and promoting autophagy in favor of osteogenesis. Furthermore, the effect on bone vasculature homeostasis enables SIRT1 to become a valuable strategy for ischemic osteonecrosis and senile osteoporosis. The review systemically discusses SIRT1 pathways and the critical role in bone homeostasis and assesses whether SIRT1 is a potential target for manipulation and therapy, to lay a solid foundation for further researches in the future.

Abstract
Objectives Calcium ion signals are important for osteoclast differentiation. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) is a regulator of bone homeostasis. However, it was unclear whether TRPV6 was involved in osteoclast formation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of TPRV6 in bone metabolism and to clarify its regulatory role in osteoclasts at the cellular level. Materials and methods Bone structure and histological changes in Trpv6 knockout mice were examined using micro‐computed tomography and histological analyses. To investigate the effects of Trpv6 on osteoclast function, we silenced or overexpressed Trpv6 in osteoclasts via lentivirus transfection, respectively. Osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption viability were measured by tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and pit formation assays. The expression of osteoclast marker genes, including cathepsin k, DC‐STAMP, Atp6v0d2 and TRAP, was measured by qRT‐PCR. Cell immunofluorescence and Western blotting were applied to explore the mechanisms by which the IGF‐PI3K‐AKT pathway was involved in the regulation of osteoclast formation and bone resorption by Trpv6. Results We found that knockout of Trpv6 induced osteoporosis and enhanced bone resorption in mice, but did not affect bone formation. Further studies showed that Trpv6, which was distributed on the cell membrane of osteoclasts, acted as a negative regulator for osteoclast differentiation and function. Mechanistically, Trpv6 suppressed osteoclastogenesis by decreasing the ratios of phosphoprotein/total protein in the IGF–PI3K–AKT signalling pathway. Blocking of the IGF–PI3K–AKT pathway significantly alleviated the inhibitory effect of Trpv6 on osteoclasts formation. Conclusions Our study confirmed the important role of Trpv6 in bone metabolism and clarified its regulatory role in osteoclasts at the cellular level. Taken together, this study may inspire a new strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone destruction is an important pathological feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which finally leads to the serious decline of life quality in RA patients. Bone metabolism imbalance is the principal factor of bone destruction in RA, which is manifested by excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and inadequate osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Although current drugs alleviate the process of bone destruction to a certain extent, there are still many deficiencies. Recent studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) could effectively suppress bone destruction of RA. Some bioactive compounds from TCM have shown good effect on inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and promoting osteoblast proliferation. This article reviews the research progress of bioactive compounds exacted from TCM in inhibiting bone destruction of RA, so as to provide references for further clinical and scientific research.

Abstract
Periodontitis is characterized by alveolar bone destruction and is one of the most common chronic oral diseases. Inflammatory cytokines released by pyroptosis, which can be triggered by oxidative stress, are critical in the development of periodontitis. This study aims to clarify whether oxidative stress causes osteoblast dysfunction by inducing pyroptosis in the process of periodontitis. We found that treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) led to NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of MG63 cells as well as decreased cell migration. Of note, LPS stimulation increased LDH release in a time- and dose-dependent manner. However, inhibition of reactive oxygen species with N-acetyl-L-cysteine attenuated oxidative stress-mediated pyroptosis and improved migration injury in osteoblasts treated with LPS. Further, inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome with MCC950 improved osteoblast migration and restored the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins such as COL 1, RUNX 2 and ALP. In conclusion, oxidative stress caused by LPS induces pyroptosis in osteoblasts, leading to osteogenic dysfunction.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2020; 524:832-838.

Abstract
Apoptosis of osteoblasts plays a crucial role in osteomyelitis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels are increased in the pathophysiological processes of osteomyelitis. However, the effect of H2S on the apoptosis of osteoblasts remains unclear. To investigate the specific role of H2S in osteoblast apoptosis, MC3T3-E1 and hFOB cells were treated with NaHS or Na2S, a donor of H2S, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), during osteomyelitis. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays, flow cytometry analysis, western blotting, immunofluorescence, polymerase chain reaction, and Alizarin red staining were performed to examine the effects of H2S on osteoblast cell apoptosis, cell osteogenic differentiation, and AKT kinase (AKT)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. Hydrogen sulfide increased cell apoptosis, and inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblast cells impaired by LPS. H2S increased apoptosis through upregulation of the FAS ligand (FASL) signaling pathway. H2S-induced apoptosis was alleviated using a FAS/FASL signaling pathway inhibitor. Treatment with NaHS also increased cell apoptosis by downregulating AKT/NF-κB signaling. In addition, treatment with an AKT signaling pathway activator decreased apoptosis and reversed the inhibitory effects of H2S on osteogenic differentiation. Hydrogen sulfide promotes LPS-induced apoptosis of osteoblast cells by inhibiting AKT/NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids contribute to the increased incidence of secondary osteoporosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter and plays an essential role in bone metabolism. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of H2S on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO). We found that dexamethasone (Dex) decreased serum H2S and two key H2S-generating enzymes in the bone marrow in vivo, cystathione b-synthase and cystathione g-lyase. Treatment of H2S-donor GYY4137 in rat significantly relieved the inhibitory effect of Dex on bone formation. Dex inhibited osteoblasts proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and decreased the expressions of the two H2S-generating enzymes. Further investigation showed that H2S was involved in Dex-mediated osteoblasts proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Mechanistically, GYY4137 promoted osteoblastogenesis by activating Wnt signaling through increased production of the Wnt ligands. In comparison, the blockage of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway significantly alleviated the effect of H2S on osteoblasts. In conclusion, the restoration of H2S levels is a potential novel therapeutic approach for GIO.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the clinical complications of long-term treatment with glucocorticoids (GCs), characterized by systemic damage of bone mass and osteoblast dysfunction. Hydrogen sulfide was found to be involved in GCs-induced osteoblast dysfunction. Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell and mitochondrial function were determined by cell viability, M-CSF level, and ALP activity and superoxide production, membrane potential, and ATP level, respectively. The purpose of this research was to explore the impact of NaHS on osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell function as well as on Sirt1 and PGC1α expression in dexamethasone (DEX)-treated osteoblast cells. DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited decreased cell viability and ALP activity, as well as increased M-CSF level; all these changes were dramatically attenuated by NaHS. DEX-treated cells also displayed mitochondrial dysfunction, namely decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP generation and increased superoxide generation, which were partly reversed by NaHS. We confirmed decreased Sirt1 and PGC1α protein expression in DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells by Western blot, which was also partly reversed by NaHS. Silencing of Sirt1 abrogated the protective effect of NaHS against DEX-induced cell damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. NaHS alleviates DEX-induced osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell injury by improving mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Background The essence of osteoporosis is mainly the imbalance of bone formation and absorption. Previous studies indicated that SIRT1 is closely related to bone metabolism and bone mass as a regulator of bone mass. The literature reports that microRNAs are significant regulators of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Material/Methods In this study, SIRT1 protein and mRNA levels were examined by Western blot and RT-PCR. Osteogenic proliferation was examined by CCK8 assay and osteogenic markers, including ALP, OCN, and RUNX2, were examined by ELISA. The target of miR-132-3p was identified by luciferase reporter assay. Results LPS downregulated the SIRT1 protein level and β-glycerophosphate upregulated the SIRT1 protein level. The results demonstrated that SIRT1 overexpression promoted the proliferation and differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells, and SIRT1 interference had the opposite effect. Luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-132-3p inhibited the reporter gene activity of SIRT1. LPS upregulated the mRNA level of miR-132-3p, and β-glycerophosphate downregulated the mRNA level of miR-132-3p. Conclusions miR-132-3p is a pivotal regulator in osteogenic proliferation and differentiation by targeting SIRT1.

Abstract
Resveratrol (Res) is a multi-functional polyphenol compound that has protective functions in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to determine the effect of Res on osteogenic differentiation and bone mineralization in zebrafish (Danio rerio) with dexamethasone (Dex)-induced bone damage. Our results showed that Dex exposure (15 μmol/l) decreased the green fluorescence areas and the integrated optic density (IOD) values in the skull bones of zebrafish larvae of the TG(SP7:EGFP) strain in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.01). Furthermore, Dex exposure decreased the alizarin red S-stained areas (bone mineralization area) in the skeleton and spinal bones of zebrafish larvae of the AB strain in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.01). By contrast, Res treatment (150 μmol/l) significantly increased both the green fluorescence and bone mineralization area in Dex-exposed zebrafish larvae. Thus, our data show that Res improves bone mineralization after glucocorticoid-induced bone damage in a zebrafish model. Res may be a candidate drug for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background PGC-1α can be activated by deacetylation reactions catalyzed by SIRT1. Resveratrol is currently known as a potent activator of SIRT1. However, it is unknown whether the renal-protective effect of resveratrol is further related to activation of the podocyte SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway. Material/Methods High glucose was used to stimulate mouse podocytes. Resveratrol and PGC-1α siRNA transfection were used to perform co-intervention treatments. The protein and mRNA expression levels of SIRT1, PGC-1α, NRF1, and TFAM were detect by immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis, and qRT-PCR in the podocytes, respectively. DCHF-DA and MitoSOX™ staining were used to monitor the total ROS and mitochondrial ROS levels, respectively. The specific activities of complexes I and III were measured using Complex I and III Assay Kits. Mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis were measured using JC-1 staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining, respectively. Results We found that high-glucose stimulation results in time-dependent decreases in the expression of SIRT1, PGC-1α, and its downstream genes NRF1 and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) for mouse podocytes, and increases ROS levels in cells and mitochondria. Moreover, the expression of nephrin was downregulated and the cell apoptotic rate was increased. Resveratrol treatment can improve abnormalities caused by high-glucose stimulation. In addition, it can also reduce the release of mitochondrial cytochrome C and DIABLO proteins to the cytoplasm and increase respiratory chain complex I and III activity and mitochondrial membrane potential. Conclusions Resveratrol can reduce the oxidative damage and apoptosis of podocytes induced by high-glucose stimulation via SIRT1/PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial protection.
