Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells of hematopoietic origin, with a pivotal role in bone development and remodeling. Failure in osteoclast differentiation and activation leads to various bone disorders; thus, attention has focused on a search of molecules involved in osteoclast regulatory pathways. Caspase-8 appears to be an interesting candidate for further exploration, due to its potential function in bone development and homeostasis. Mouse bone marrow cells were differentiated into osteoclasts by RANKL stimulation. Increased activation of caspase-8 and its downstream executioner caspases (caspase-3 and caspase-6) was found during osteoclastogenesis. Subsequent inhibition of caspase-8, caspase-3, or caspase-6, respectively, during osteoclast differentiation showed distinct changes in the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells and reduced expression of osteoclast markers including Acp5, Ctsk, Dcstamp, and Mmp9. Analysis of bone matrix resorption confirmed significantly reduced osteoclast function after caspase inhibition. The results clearly showed the role of caspases in the proper development of osteoclasts and contributed new knowledge about non-apoptotic function of caspases.

J Dent Sci 2024; 19:1452-1460. [PMID: 39035342 PMCID: PMC11259655 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2024.03.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Osteoclast differentiation is crucial for orchestrating both tooth movement and the maintenance of bone density. Therefore, the current study sought to explore the impact of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on osteoclast differentiation, functional gene expression, molecular signaling pathways, and orthodontic tooth movement in clinical settings. Materials and methods The RAW 264.7 cell line served as the precursor for osteoclasts, and these cells underwent irradiation using a 808-nm LLLT. Osteoclast differentiation was assessed through tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Functional gene expression levels were evaluated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) while signaling molecules were examined through Western blot analysis. In the clinical study, 12 participants were enrolled. Their tooth movement was monitored using a TRIOS desktop scanner. Bone density measurements were conducted using Mimics software, which processed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images exported in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format. Results We found that LLLT effectively promoted receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-dependent osteoclast differentiation and the expression of osteoclast functional genes, including matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1(NFATc1), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K (CTSK) in RAW264.7 cells. Clinically, the cumulative tooth movement over 90 days was significantly higher in the laser group than in the control group. Conclusion Our research demonstrates that LLLT not only significantly promotes osteoclast differentiation but is also a valuable adjunct in orthodontic therapy.

Potato protein hydrolysate inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast development by inhibiting osteoclastogenic genes via the NF-κB/MAPKs signaling pathways. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024; 39:3991-4003.

Abstract
In recent times, there has been growing attention towards exploring the nutritional and functional aspects of potato protein, along with its diverse applications. In the present study, we examined the anti-osteoclast properties of potato protein hydrolysate (PP902) in vitro. Murine macrophages (RAW264.7) were differentiated into osteoclasts by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), and PP902 was examined for its inhibitory effect. Initially, treatment with PP902 was found to significantly prevent RANKL-induced morphological changes in macrophage cells, as determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining analysis. This notion was further supported by F-actin analysis using a confocal microscope. Furthermore, PP902 treatment effectively and dose-dependently down-regulated the expression of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenic marker genes, including TRAP, CTR, RANK, NFATc1, OC-STAMP, and c-Fos. These inhibitory effects were associated with suppressing NF-κB transcriptional activation and subsequent reduced nuclear translocation. The decrease in NF-κB activity resulted from reduced activation of its upstream kinases, including I-κBα and IKKα. Moreover, PP902 significantly inhibited RANKL-induced p38MAPK and ERK1/2 activities. Nevertheless, PP902 treatment prevents RANKL-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation via increased HO-1 activity. The combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of PP902 resulted in significant suppression of osteoclastogenesis, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy for osteoclast-related diseases.

Abstract
MALAT1, one of the few highly conserved nuclear long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), is abundantly expressed in normal tissues. Previously, targeted inactivation and genetic rescue experiments identified MALAT1 as a suppressor of breast cancer lung metastasis. On the other hand, Malat1-knockout mice are viable and develop normally. On a quest to discover the fundamental roles of MALAT1 in physiological and pathological processes, we find that this lncRNA is downregulated during osteoclastogenesis in humans and mice. Remarkably, Malat1 deficiency in mice promotes osteoporosis and bone metastasis of melanoma and mammary tumor cells, which can be rescued by genetic add-back of Malat1. Mechanistically, Malat1 binds to Tead3 protein, a macrophage-osteoclast-specific Tead family member, blocking Tead3 from binding and activating Nfatc1, a master regulator of osteoclastogenesis, which results in the inhibition of Nfatc1-mediated gene transcription and osteoclast differentiation. Notably, single-cell transcriptome analysis of clinical bone samples reveals that reduced MALAT1 expression in pre-osteoclasts and osteoclasts is associated with osteoporosis and metastatic bone lesions. Altogether, these findings identify Malat1 as a lncRNA that protects against osteoporosis and bone metastasis.

Abstract
Bone health is controlled by the balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and degradation by osteoclasts. A disequilibrium in favor of bone resorption leads to osteolytic diseases characterized by decreased bone density. Osteoclastic resorption is dependent on the assembly of an adhesion structure: the actin ring, also called podosome belt or sealing zone, which is composed of a unique patterning of podosomes stabilized by microtubules. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating the crosstalk between actin cytoskeleton and microtubules network is key to find new treatments to inhibit bone resorption. Evidence points to the importance of the fine tuning of the activity of the small GTPase RHOA for the formation and maintenance of the actin ring, but the underlying mechanism is not known. We report here that actin ring disorganization upon microtubule depolymerization is mediated by the activation of the RHOA-ROCK signaling pathway. We next show the involvement of GEF-H1, one of RHOA guanine exchange factor highly expressed in osteoclasts, which has the particularity of being negatively regulated by sequestration on microtubules. Using a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated GEF-H1 knock-down osteoclast model, we demonstrate that RHOA activation upon microtubule depolymerization is mediated by GEF-H1 release. Interestingly, although lower levels of GEF-H1 did not impact sealing zone formation in the presence of an intact microtubule network, sealing zone was smaller leading to impaired resorption. Altogether, these results suggest that a fine tuning of GEF-H1 through its association with microtubules, and consequently of RHOA activity, is essential for osteoclast sealing zone stability and resorption function.

Abstract
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is an evolutionarily conserved sugar-binding protein found in intra- and extracellular spaces. Extracellularly, it binds to glycoconjugates with β-galactoside(s) and functions in various biological phenomena, including immunity, cancer, and differentiation. Under extracellular oxidative conditions, Gal-1 undergoes oxidative inactivation, losing its sugar-binding ability, although it exhibits sugar-independent functions. An age-related decrease in serum Gal-1 levels correlates with decreasing bone mass, and Gal-1 knockout promotes osteoclastic bone resorption and suppresses bone formation. However, the effect of extracellular Gal-1 on osteoclast differentiation remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the effects of extracellular Gal-1 on osteoclastogenesis in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and mouse macrophage RAW264 cells. Recombinant Gal-1 suppressed the macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand-dependent osteoclast formation, actin ring formation, and bone-resorption activity of human PBMCs. Similar results were obtained for RAW264 cells. Gal-1 knockdown increased osteoclast-like cell formation, suggesting that it affected differentiation in an autocrine-like manner. Oxidized Gal-1 slightly affected differentiation, and in the presence of lactose, the differentiation inhibitory effect of galectin-1 was not observed. These findings suggest that extracellular Gal-1 inhibits osteoclast differentiation in a β-galactoside-dependent manner, and an age-related decrease in serum Gal-1 levels may contribute to reduced osteoclast activity and decreasing bone mass.

Abstract
Osteoclastogenesis, one of the dynamic pathways underlying bone remodelling, is a complex process that includes many stages. This complexity, while offering a wealth of therapeutic opportunities, represents a substantial challenge in unravelling the underlying mechanisms. As such, there is a high demand for robust model systems to understand osteoclastogenesis. Hydrogels seeded with osteoclast precursors and decorated with peptides or proteins mimicking bone's extracellular matrix could provide a useful synthetic tool to study pre-osteoclast-matrix interactions and their effect on osteoclastogenesis. For instance, fibrillar collagens have been shown to provide a co-stimulatory pathway for osteoclastogenesis through interaction with the osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR), a regulator of osteoclastogenesis expressed on the surface of pre-osteoclast cells. Based on this rationale, here we design two OSCAR-binding peptides and one recombinant OSCAR-binding protein, and we combine them with peptide-based hydrogels to study their effect on osteoclastogenesis. The OSCAR-binding peptides adopt the collagen triple-helical conformation and interact with OSCAR, as shown by circular dichroism spectropolarimetry and surface plasmon resonance. Furthermore, they have a positive effect on osteoclastogenesis, as demonstrated by appropriate gene expression and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining typical of osteoclast formation. Combination of the OSCAR-binding peptides or the OSCAR-binding recombinant protein with peptide-based hydrogels enhances osteoclast differentiation when compared to the non-modified hydrogels, as demonstrated by multi-nucleation and by F-actin staining showing a characteristic osteoclast-like morphology. We envisage that these hydrogels could be used as a platform to study osteoclastogenesis and, in particular, to investigate the effect of costimulatory pathways involving OSCAR.

Abstract
Irisin is a myokine released from muscle during exercise with distinct signaling effects on tissues throughout the body, including an influence on skeletal remodeling. Our previous work has shown that irisin stimulates resorption, a key first step in bone remodeling, by enhancing osteoclastogenesis. The present study further investigates the action of irisin on the metabolic function of osteoclast progenitors during differentiation. Fluorescent imaging showed increased mitochondrial content and reactive oxygen species production with irisin treatment in osteoclast progenitors after 48 h of osteoclastogenic culture. Mitochondrial stress testing demonstrated a significant increase in maximal oxygen consumption rate and spare capacity after 48 h of preconditioning with irisin treatment. Together, these findings further elucidate the stimulatory action of irisin on osteoclastogenesis, demonstrating an enhancement of metabolism through mitochondrial respiration in the progenitor to support the energy demands of their differentiation into mature osteoclasts.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease with multigene involved, and the molecular mechanisms of its pathogenesis are not entirely understood. This study aims to identify novel key genes involved in osteoporosis to discover potential pharmacological targets. We analyzed three microarray datasets and identified four differentially expressed genes. The LASSO model indicated that RNA-binding motif protein 5 (RBM5) is associated with osteoporosis and is a potential drug target. We conducted the Spearman correlation analysis and found 52 genes that were significantly related to RBM5. Enrichment analysis showed that these genes were primarily involved in RNA splicing and osteoclast differentiation pathways. By using lentivirus-based shRNA, we successfully knocked down RBM5 expression in RAW264.7 cell line, which showed that RBM5 knockdown significantly impaired their differentiation potential to mature osteoclasts and significantly inhibited bone-resorbing activity. RT-qPCR analyses revealed the expression of osteoclastogenesis marker genes was downregulated along with RBM5 expression. These findings suggest that RBM5 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and provides a new potential pharmacological target.

Bone homeostasis is regulated by the balanced actions of osteoblasts that form the bone and osteoclasts (OCs) that resorb the bone. Bone-resorbing OCs are differentiated from hematopoietic monocyte/macrophage lineage cells, whereas osteoblasts are derived from mesenchymal progenitors. OC differentiation is induced by two key cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a factor essential for the proliferation and survival of the OCs, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), a factor for responsible for the differentiation of the OCs. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases, play an essential role in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and function of OCs. ERKs have been known to play a critical role in the differentiation and activation of OCs. In most cases, ERKs positively regulate OC differentiation and function. However, several reports present conflicting conclusions. Interestingly, the inhibition of OC differentiation by ERK1/2 is observed only in OCs differentiated from RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the current understanding of the conflicting actions of ERK1/2 in OC differentiation.

Abstract
Spherical 50 nm silica-based nanoparticles (SiNPs) promote healthy bone homeostasis and maintenance by supporting bone forming osteoblast lineage cells while simultaneously inhibiting the differentiation of bone resorbing osteoclasts. Previous work demonstrated that an intraperitoneal injection of SiNPs in healthy mice - both young and old - increased bone density and quality, suggesting the possibility that SiNPs represent a dual action therapeutic. However, the underlying mechanisms governing the osteoclast response to SiNPs have yet to be fully explored and defined. Therefore, the goals of this study were to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which SiNPs inhibit osteoclastogenesis. SiNPs strongly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation within the first hours and concomitantly inhibited early transcriptional regulators such as Nfatc1. SiNPs simultaneously stimulated expression of autophagy related genes p62 and LC3β dependent on ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Intriguingly, SiNPs were found to stimulate autophagosome formation while inhibiting the autophagic flux necessary for RANKL-stimulated osteoclast differentiation, resulting in the inhibition of both the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways and stabilizing TRAF3. These results suggest a model in which SiNPs inhibit osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the autophagic machinery and RANKL-dependent functionality. This mechanism of action defines a novel therapeutic strategy for inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Osteoclasts degrade bone and osteoclast differentiation has been implicated in bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. The dairy bacterium Propionibacterium freudenreichii MJ2 (MJ2) isolated from raw milk inhibits osteoclast differentiation and ameliorates collagen-induced arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of the surface proteins of MJ2 on receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation and explain the underlying mechanism. The murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 was used to study the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. The surface proteins significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in a protein concentration-dependent manner by inhibiting the expression of genes and proteins related to osteoclast differentiation. RNA microarray analysis showed that the surface proteins significantly upregulated lipocalin-2 (lcn2) expression. In addition, they downregulated c-fos and NFATc1 and inhibited the expression of NFATc1-downstream genes Atp6v0d2, Calcr, and Ctsk. siRNA silencing of lcn2 decreased the extent of surface protein inhibition on osteoclast differentiation, suggesting that lcn2 plays an important role in the inhibition of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. In conclusion, surface proteins of MJ2 show inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by upregulating lcn2 expression, in turn downregulating NFATc1, leading to the inhibition of NFATc1-downstream osteoclastogenesis-related gene expression.

Abstract
Migrasomes, a newly discovered organelle produced by migrating cells, are vesicles with membranous structure that form on the tips and intersections of retraction fibers (RFs). These structures are released into the extracellular environment or taken up by surrounding cells, mediating the release of cytoplasmic contents and intercellular communication. Retractosomes, a new type of small extracellular vesicles generated from broken-off RFs, are closely related to migrasomes in their physical location and origin, but were defined later. Despite their widespread existence in cells and biological organisms, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms underlying their formation and potential function. In this review, we provide an overview of the discovery, biogenesis, distribution, and functions of migrasomes and retractosomes, as well as their differences from exosomes.

Abstract
Migrasomes are newly discovered extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are formed in migrating cells and mediate intercellular communication. However, their size, biological generation, cargo packaging, transport, and effects on recipient cells by migrasomes are different from those of other EVs. In addition to mediating organ morphogenesis during zebrafish gastrulation, discarding damaged mitochondria, and lateral transport of mRNA and proteins, growing evidence has demonstrated that migrasomes mediate a variety of pathological processes. In this review, we summarize the discovery, mechanisms of formation, isolation, identification, and mediation of cellular communication in migrasomes. We discuss migrasome-mediated disease processes, such as osteoclast differentiation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, tumor cell metastasis by PD-L1 transport, immune cell chemotaxis to the site of infection by chemokines, angiogenesis promotion via angiogenic factors by immune cells, and leukemic cells chemotaxis to the site of mesenchymal stromal cells. Moreover, as new EVs, we propose the potential of migrasomes for disease diagnosis and treatment. Video Abstract.

Abstract
MALAT1, one of the few highly conserved nuclear long noncoding RNAs (IncRNAs), is abundantly expressed in normal tissues. Previously, targeted inactivation and genetic rescue experiments identified MALAT1 as a suppressor of breast cancer lung metastasis. On the other hand, Malat1-knockout mice are viable and develop normally. On a quest to discover new roles of MALAT1 in physiological and pathological processes, we found that this lncRNA is downregulated during osteoclastogenesis in humans and mice. Notably, Malat1 deficiency in mice promotes osteoporosis and bone metastasis, which can be rescued by genetic add-back of Malat1. Mechanistically, Malat1 binds to Tead3 protein, a macrophage-osteoclast-specific Tead family member, blocking Tead3 from binding and activating Nfatc1, a master regulator of osteoclastogenesis, which results in the inhibition of Nfatc1-mediated gene transcription and osteoclast differentiation. Altogether, these findings identify Malat1 as a lncRNA that suppresses osteoporosis and bone metastasis.

Abstract
Migrasomes are organelles that are similar in structure to pomegranates, up to 3 μm in diameter, and contain small vesicles with a diameter of 50-100 nm. These membranous organelles grow at the intersections or tips of retracting fibers at the back of migrating cells. The process by which cells release migrasomes and their contents outside the cell is called migracytosis. The signal molecules are packaged in the migrasomes and released to the designated location by migrasomes to activate the surrounding cells. Finally, the migrasomes complete the entire process of information transmission. In this sense, migrasomes integrate time, space, and specific chemical information, which are essential for regulating physiological processes such as embryonic development and tumor invasion and migration. In this review, the current research progress of migrasomes, including the discovery of migrasomes and migracytosis, the structure of migrasomes, and the distribution and functions of migrasomes is discussed. The migratory marker protein TSPAN4 is highly expressed in various cancers and is associated with cancer invasion and migration. Therefore, there is still much research space for the pathogenesis of migratory bodies and cancer. This review also makes bold predictions and prospects for the research directions of the combination of migrasomes and clinical applications.

Abstract
Host immune response has gradually been accepted as a critical factor in achieving successful implant osseointegration. The aim of this study is to create a favorable immune microenvironment by the dominant release of IL-4 during the initial few days after implant insertion to mitigate early inflammatory reactions and facilitate osseointegration. Herein, the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4 substrate was established by immobilizing an interleukin-4 (IL-4)/polydopamine (PDA) coating on a black TiO2 nanotube (B-TNT) surface, achieving on-demand IL-4 release under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses based on high-throughput DNA microarray data revealed that IL-4 addition inhibited osteoclast differentiation and function. Animal experiment results suggested that the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4+Laser substrate induced the least inflammatory, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, inducible nitric oxide synthase and the most CD163 positive cells, compared to the Ti group at 7 days post-implantation. In addition, 28 days post-implantation, micro-computed tomography results showed the highest bone volume/total volume, trabecular thickness, trabecular number and the lowest trabecular separation, while Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson-trichrome staining revealed the largest amount of new bone formation for the B-TNT/PDA/IL-4+Laser group. This study revealed the osteoimmunoregulatory function of the novel B-TNT/PDA/IL-4 surface by photothermal release of IL-4 at an early period post-implantation, thus paving a new way for dental implant surface modification.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a Staphylococcus aureus-caused bone infection. In this study, the effects of miR-146a on osteomyelitis were evaluated. Using the osteoblast cell model and S. aureus-induced osteomyelitis mice model, we monitored the miR-146 expression and explored the effects of miR-146a on cell proliferation of osteoblasts, bone remodeling, osteoclastogenesis, inflammatory cytokine production, and bacterial burden. Upregulated miR-146a was found in mice with S. aureus-induced osteomyelitis. miR-146a attenuated S. aureus-induced cell loss of osteoblasts, rescued the expression of osteogenic markers, altered the bone remodeling, and inhibited inflammatory cytokine production and osteoclastogenesis. miR-146a knockout mice had higher S. aureus burden. In conclusion, miR-146a protects against S. aureus-induced osteomyelitis by regulating inflammation and osteogenesis.

Effects of Artemisia annua L. Essential Oil on Osteoclast Differentiation and Function Induced by RANKL. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1322957. [PMID: 35432559 PMCID: PMC9010179 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1322957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the main components of Artemisia annua L. essential oil (AEO) and determine their effect on the proliferation and differentiation of RAW264.7 cells induced by receptor activator for nuclear factor-ligand (RANKL) in vitro. Then, we tried to explain part of the function of its possible mechanisms. Materials and Methods Essential oil was extracted from Artemisia annua L. Osteoclasts were induced in vitro by RANKL in mouse RAW264.7 cells. The experimental group was treated with different concentrations of AEO, while the control group was not treated with AEO. CCK8 was used to detect osteoclast proliferation. The osteoclasts were stained with TRAP. Western blot was used to detect protein in the MAPK pathway and the NF-κB pathway after treatment with different concentrations of AEO. RT-PCR was used to determine the expression of osteoclast-related mRNA in cells. Results The GC-MS analysis was used to obtain the main components of AEO, including camphor, borneol, camphor, borneol, terpinen-4-ol, p-cymene, eucalyptol, deoxyartemisinin, and artemisia ketone. The CCK8 results showed that the AEO volume ratio of 1 : 4000, 1 : 5000, and 1 : 6000 did not affect the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells. However, TRAP staining showed that AEO decreased osteoclast formation. Western blot results showed that the expression of protein TRAF6, p-p38, p-ERK, p-p65, and NFATc1 decreased in the MAPK pathway and the NF-κB pathway affected by AEO. Furthermore, RT-PCR results showed that the expression of osteoclast resorption-related mRNAs (MMP-9, DC-STAMP, TRAP, and CTSK) and osteoclast differentiation-related mRNAs (OSCAR, NFATc1, c-Src, and c-Fos) also decreased in the experimental group. Conclusions AEO inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro, probably by reducing TRAF6 activation, acting on the MAPK pathway and NF-κB pathway, and inhibiting the expression of osteoclast-related genes.

Migrasomes: From Biogenesis, Release, Uptake, Rupture to Homeostasis and Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4525778. [PMID: 35464764 PMCID: PMC9023195 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4525778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 11/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Migrasomes are migration-dependent membrane-bound vesicular structures that contain cellular contents and small vesicles. Migrasomes grow on the tips or intersections of the retraction fibers after cells migrate away. The process of releasing migrasomes into the extracellular space is named as “migracytosis”. After releasing, they can be taken up by the surrounding cells, or rupture and further release their contents into the extracellular environment. Physiologically, migrasomes provide regional cues for organ morphogenesis during zebrafish gastrulation and discard the damaged mitochondria in response to mild mitochondrial stresses. Pathologically, migrasomes are released from podocyte during early podocyte stress and/or damage, from platelets after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), from microglia/macrophages of the ischemic brain, and from tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-activated endothelial cells (ECs); thus, this newly discovered extracellular vesicle is involved in all these pathological processes. Moreover, migrasomes can modulate the proliferation of cancer cell via lateral transferring mRNA and protein. In this review, we will summarize the biogenesis, release, uptake, and rupture of migrasomes and discuss its biological roles in development, redox signalling, innate immunity and COVID-19, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, renal diseases, and cancer biology, all of these highlight the importance of migrasomes in modulating body homeostasis and diseases.

Abstract
Orthopedic and craniofacial surgical procedures require the reconstruction of bone defects caused by trauma, diseases, and tumor resection. Successful bone restoration entails the development and use of bone grafts with structural, functional, and biological features similar to native tissues. Herein, we developed three-dimensional (3D) printed fine-tuned hydroxyapatite (HA) biomimetic bone structures, which can be applied as grafts, by using calcium phosphate cement (CPC) bioink, which is composed of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP), dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA), and a liquid [Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) dissolved in ethanol (EtOH)]. The ink was ejected through a high-resolution syringe nozzle (210 µm) at room temperature into three different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5) mol/L of the aqueous sodium phosphate dibasic (Na2HPO4) bath that serves as a hardening accelerator for HA formation. Raman spectrometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated the real-time HA formation in (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5) mol/L Na2HPO4 baths. Under those conditions, HA was formed at different amounts, which tuned the scaffolds’ mechanical properties, porosity, and osteoclast activity. Overall, this method may pave the way to engineer 3D bone scaffolds with controlled HA composition and pre-defined properties, which will enhance graft-host integration in various anatomic locations.

Abstract
P2 receptors are nucleotide-activated receptors involved in inflammation, cell proliferation osteoblastogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and their function. They can be potential role players in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our analysis of gene expression datasets of synovial tissue biopsy from the GEO database shows changes in the expression levels of P2 receptors. HIG-82, a synovial fibroblast cell line and RAW 264.7, a macrophage cell line are good in vitro models to study RA. Nucleotide addition experiments showed UDP Glucose significantly increased the proliferation of synovial fibroblasts (HIG-82). Similarly, nucleotides such as Adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), Adenosine di-phosphate (ADP), Uridine tri-phosphate (UTP), Uridine di-phosphate (UDP) and Uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG) induced elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP) activity in RAW264.7 cells. The ADP-induced TRAP could be inhibited by clopidogrel a P2Y12 inhibitor. ATP, ADP, UTP, UDP and UDPG also induced osteoclastogenesis as evident from fused multinucleate cells and expression of osteoclast markers (TRAP, Cathepsin K [CTSK]) as determined by Q-PCR. Apyrase (APY) a nucleotidase and an enzyme that is used to modulate extracellular nucleotide concentration is sufficient to induce osteoclastogenesis. Taken together our results show that nucleotides modulate synoviocyte proliferation and macrophage differentiation into osteoclast and play an important role in RA. Nucleotide receptors might be potential therapeutic targets in RA. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-021-03052-8.

MiRNAs Expression Profiling in Raw264.7 Macrophages after Nfatc1-Knockdown Elucidates Potential Pathways Involved in Osteoclasts Differentiation. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10111080. [PMID: 34827073 PMCID: PMC8614811 DOI: 10.3390/biology10111080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Differentiation of macrophages toward osteoclasts is crucial for bone homeostasis but can be detrimental in disease states, including osteoporosis and cancer. Therefore, understanding the osteoclast differentiation process and the underlying regulatory mechanisms may facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets. Hereby, we tried to reveal new miRNAs potentially involved in the regulation of early steps of osteoclastogenesis, with a particular focus on those possibly correlated with NFATc1 expression, by studying miRNAs profiling. During the first 24 h of osteoclastogenesis, 38 miRNAs were differentially expressed between undifferentiated and RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, while 10 miRNAs were differentially expressed between RANKL-stimulated cells transfected with negative control or NFATc1-siRNAs. Among others, the expression levels of miR-411, miR-144 and members of miR-29, miR-30, and miR-23 families changed after RANKL stimulation. Moreover, the potential role of miR-124 during osteoclastogenesis was explored by transient cell transfection with anti-miR-124 or miR-124-mimic. Two relatively unknown miRNAs, miR-880-3p and miR-295-3p, were differentially expressed between RANKL-stimulated/wild-type and RANKL-stimulated/NFATc1-silenced cells, suggesting their possible correlation with NFATc1. KEGG enrichment analyses showed that kinase and phosphatase enzymes were among the predicted targets for many of the studied miRNAs. In conclusion, our study provides new data on the potential role and possible targets of new miRNAs during osteoclastogenesis.

Novel NFκB Inhibitor SC75741 Mitigates Chondrocyte Degradation and Prevents Activated Fibroblast Transformation by Modulating miR-21/GDF-5/SOX5 Signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:11082. [PMID: 34681754 PMCID: PMC8538686 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222011082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common articular disease manifested by the destruction of cartilage and compromised chondrogenesis in the aging population, with chronic inflammation of synovium, which drives OA progression. Importantly, the activated synovial fibroblast (AF) within the synovium facilitates OA through modulating key molecules, including regulatory microRNAs (miR's). To understand OA associated pathways, in vitro co-culture system, and in vivo papain-induced OA model were applied for this study. The expression of key inflammatory markers both in tissue and blood plasma were examined by qRT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence assays. Herein, our result demonstrated, AF-activated human chondrocytes (AC) exhibit elevated NFκB, TNF-α, IL-6, and miR-21 expression as compared to healthy chondrocytes (HC). Importantly, AC induced the apoptosis of HC and inhibited the expression of chondrogenesis inducers, SOX5, TGF-β1, and GDF-5. NFκB is a key inflammatory transcription factor elevated in OA. Therefore, SC75741 (an NFκB inhibitor) therapeutic effect was explored. SC75741 inhibits inflammatory profile, protects AC-educated HC from apoptosis, and inhibits miR-21 expression, which results in the induced expression of GDF-5, SOX5, TGF-β1, BMPR2, and COL4A1. Moreover, ectopic miR-21 expression in fibroblast-like activated chondrocytes promoted osteoblast-mediated differentiation of osteoclasts in RW264.7 cells. Interestingly, in vivo study demonstrated SC75741 protective role, in controlling the destruction of the articular joint, through NFκB, TNF-α, IL-6, and miR-21 inhibition, and inducing GDF-5, SOX5, TGF-β1, BMPR2, and COL4A1 expression. Our study demonstrated the role of NFκB/miR-21 axis in OA progression, and SC75741's therapeutic potential as a small-molecule inhibitor of miR-21/NFκB-driven OA progression.
