Complex intrinsic abnormalities in osteoblast lineage cells of X-linked hypophosphatemia: Analysis of human iPS cell models generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene ablation. Bone 2024; 181:117044. [PMID: 38331306 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is caused by inactivating variants of the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene. Although the overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is responsible for hypophosphatemia and impaired vitamin D metabolism, the pathogenesis of XLH remains unclear. We herein generated PHEX-knockout (KO) human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene ablation to an iPS clone derived from a healthy male, and analyzed PHEX-KO iPS cells with deletions extending from exons 1 to 3 and frameshifts by inducing them to differentiate into the osteoblast lineage. We confirmed the increased production of FGF23 in osteoblast lineage cells differentiated from PHEX-KO iPS cells. In vitro mineralization was enhanced in osteoblast lineage cells from PHEX-KO iPS cells than in those from isogenic control iPS cells, which reminded us of high bone mineral density and enthesopathy in patients with XLH. The extracellular level of pyrophosphate (PPi), an inhibitor of mineralization, was elevated, and this increase appeared to be partly due to the reduced activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Osteoblast lineage cells derived from PHEX-KO iPS cells also showed the increased expression of multiple molecules such as dentine matrix protein 1, osteopontin, RUNX2, FGF receptor 1 and early growth response 1. This gene dysregulation was similar to that in the osteoblasts/osteocytes of Phex-deficient Hyp mice, suggesting that common pathogenic mechanisms are shared between human XLH and Hyp mice. Moreover, we found that the phosphorylation of CREB was markedly enhanced in osteoblast lineage cells derived from PHEX-KO iPS cells, which appeared to be associated with the up-regulation of the parathyroid hormone related protein gene. PHEX deficiency also affected the response of the ALPL gene encoding TNSALP to extracellular Pi. Collectively, these results indicate that complex intrinsic abnormalities in osteoblasts/osteocytes underlie the pathogenesis of human XLH.

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde alleviates cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in mice by improving mitochondrial dysfunction via PKA activation. Food Chem Toxicol 2024; 186:114546. [PMID: 38408633 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114546] [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: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Cisplatin (DDP) is widely used in the treatment of cancer as a chemotherapeutic drug. However, its severe nephrotoxicity limits the extensive application of cisplatin, which is characterized by injury and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. This study aimed to reveal the protective effect and its underlying mechanism of Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (IC) against DDP-induced AKI in mice and NRK-52E cells pretreated with PKA antagonist (H-89). Here, we reported that IC improved renal artery blood flow velocity and renal function related indicators, attenuated renal pathological changes, which were confirmed by the results of HE staining and PASM staining. Meanwhile, IC inhibited the levels of inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, CTR1, OCT2, and the levels of autophagy and apoptosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction was significantly improved as observed by TEM. To clarify the potential mechanism, NRK-52E cells induced by DDP was used and the results proved that H-89 could blocked the improvement with IC effectively in vitro. Our findings showed that IC has the potential to treat cisplatin-induced AKI, and its role in protecting the kidney was closely related to activating PKA, inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis, improving mitochondrial function, which could provide a theoretical basis for the development of new clinical drugs.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that mainly affects the axial skeleton, whose typical features are inflammatory back pain, bone structural damage and pathological new bone formation. The pathology of ectopic new bone formation is still little known. In this study, we found increased purine metabolites in plasma of patients with AS. Similarly, metabolome analysis indicated increased purine metabolites in both serum of CD4-Cre; Ptpn11fl/fl and SHP2-deficient chondrocytes. SHP2-deficient chondrocytes promoted the growth of wild type chondrocytes and differentiation of osteoblasts in CD4-Cre; Ptpn11fl/fl mice, which spontaneously developed AS-like bone disease. Purine metabolites, along with PTHrP derived from SHP2-deficient chondrocytes, accelerated the growth of chondrocytes and ectopic new bone formation through PKA/CREB signaling. Moreover, Suramin, a purinergic receptor antagonist, suppressed pathological new bone formation in AS-like bone disease. Overall, these results highlight the potential role of targeting purinergic signaling in retarding ectopic new bone formation in AS.

[Teriparatide regulates osteoblast differentiation in high-glucose microenvironment through the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway]. NAN FANG YI KE DA XUE XUE BAO = JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY 2023; 43:39-45.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of teriparatide on the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in high-glucose microenvironment and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in normal glucose or high-glucose (25 mmol/L) medium were treated with 10 nmol/L teriparatide with or without co-treatment with H-89 (a PKA inhibitor). CCK-8 assay was used to detect the changes in cell proliferation, and cAMP content in the cells was determined with ELISA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralized nodules in the cells were detected using ALP kit and Alizarin red staining, respectively. The changes in cell morphology were detected by cytoskeleton staining. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of PKA, CREB, RUNX2 and Osx in the treated cells. RESULTS The treatments did not result in significant changes in proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells (P > 0.05). Compared with the cells in routine culture, the cells treated with teriparatide showed significantly increased cAMP levels (P < 0.05) with enhanced ALP activity and increased area of mineralized nodules (P < 0.05). Teriparatide treatment also resulted in more distinct visualization of the cytoskeleton in the cells and obviously up-regulated the mRNA expressions of PKA, CREB, RUNX2 and Osx (P < 0.05). The opposite changes were observed in cells cultured in high glucose. In cells exposed to high glucose, treatment with teriparatide significantly increased cAMP levels (P < 0.05), ALP activity and the area of mineralized nodules (P < 0.05) and enhanced the clarity of the cytoskeleton and mRNA expressions of PKA, CREB, RUNX2 and Osx; the effects of teriparatide was strongly antagonized by co-treatment with H-89 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Teriparatide can promote osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in high-glucose microenvironment possibly by activating the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Skeletal tissue is highly innervated. Although different types of nerves have been recently identified in the bone, the crosstalk between bone and nerves remains unclear. In this review, we outline the role of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in bone regeneration following injury. We first introduce the conserved role of nerves in tissue regeneration in species ranging from amphibians to mammals. We then present the distribution of the PNS in the skeletal system under physiological conditions, fractures, or regeneration. Furthermore, we summarize the ways in which the PNS communicates with bone-lineage cells, the vasculature, and immune cells in the bone microenvironment. Based on this comprehensive and timely review, we conclude that the PNS regulates bone regeneration through neuropeptides or neurotransmitters and cells in the peripheral nerves. An in-depth understanding of the roles of peripheral nerves in bone regeneration will inform the development of new strategies based on bone-nerve crosstalk in promoting bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Bone diseases are the leading causes of disability and severely compromised quality of life. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a multifunctional neuropeptide that participates in various physiological and pathological processes and exists in both the nerve system and bone tissue. In bone tissue, it actively participates in bone metabolism and disease progression through its receptors. Previous studies have focused on the opposite effects of NPY on bone formation and resorption through paracrine modes. In this review, we present a brief overview of the progress made in this research field in recent times in order to provide reference for further understanding the regulatory mechanism of bone physiology and pathological metabolism.

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD; OMIM 119600) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, which is mainly characterized by persistently open or delayed closure of fontanelle, patent skull sutures, abnormal clavicles, pectus excavatum, short stature, supernumerary teeth, and sinus and middle ear infections. It is caused by Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2; OMIM 600211) mutations. Herein, we present a rare case of CCD with neonatal respiratory distress, who had abnormal midfacial features and wide fontanelle. Also, pectus excavatum was noted. He was transferred to our department, administered standard medical treatment, and discharged after 4 weeks. Therefore, we recommend the early suspicion and identification of this rare inherited disease to adequate treatment.

Pflugers Arch 2021; 473:1899-1910.

Abstract
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperphosphatemia promotes medial vascular calcification, a process augmented by osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). VSMC function is regulated by sympathetic innervation, and these cells express α- and β-adrenergic receptors. The present study explored the effects of β2-adrenergic stimulation by isoproterenol on VSMC calcification. Experiments were performed in primary human aortic VSMCs treated with isoproterenol during control or high phosphate conditions. As a result, isoproterenol dose dependently up-regulated the expression of osteogenic markers core-binding factor α-1 (CBFA1) and tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) in VSMCs. Furthermore, prolonged isoproterenol exposure augmented phosphate-induced calcification of VSMCs. Isoproterenol increased the activation of PKA and CREB, while knockdown of the PKA catalytic subunit α (PRKACA) or of CREB1 genes was able to suppress the pro-calcific effects of isoproterenol in VSMCs. β2-adrenergic receptor silencing or inhibition with the selective antagonist ICI 118,551 blocked isoproterenol-induced osteogenic signalling in VSMCs. The present observations imply a pro-calcific effect of β2-adrenergic overstimulation in VSMCs, which is mediated, at least partly, by PKA/CREB signalling. These observations may support a link between sympathetic overactivity in CKD and vascular calcification.
