Abstract
Objective Osteomyelitis is a challenging disease in the field of bone infections, with its immune and molecular regulatory mechanisms still poorly understood. The aim of this study is to explore the value and potential mechanisms of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-infected osteomyelitis from an immunological perspective. Methods Initially, three transcriptomic datasets from public databases were integrated and analyzed, and consistent expression of CRGs in S. aureus-infected osteomyelitis was identified. Subsequently, immune infiltration analysis was performed, and M2 macrophage-related CRGs (M2R-CRGs) were further identified. Their potential molecular mechanisms were evaluated using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Finally, distinct osteomyelitis subtypes and diagnostic models based on characteristic M2R-CRGs were constructed. Results Through correlation analysis with immune cell infiltration, three characteristic M2R-CRGs (SLC31A1, DLD, and MTF1) were identified. Further analysis using unsupervised clustering and immune microenvironment analysis indicated that cluster 1 might activate pro-inflammatory responses, while cluster 2 was shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in osteomyelitis. Compared to Cluster A, Cluster B demonstrated higher levels and a greater diversity of immune cell infiltrations in CRG-related molecular patterns, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory role in osteomyelitis. A diagnostic model for S. aureus-infected osteomyelitis, based on the three M2R-CRGs, was constructed, exhibiting excellent diagnostic performance and validated with an independent dataset. Significant upregulation in mRNA and protein expression levels of the three M2R-CRGs was observed in rat models of S. aureus-infected osteomyelitis, aligning with bioinformatic results. Conclusion The M2R-CRGs (SLC31A1, DLD, and MTF1) may be considered characteristic genes for early diagnosis and personalized immune therapy in patients with S. aureus-infected osteomyelitis.

Hu Y, Li Y, Li M, Zhao T, Zhang W, Wang Y, He Y, Zhao H, Li H, Wang T, Zhao Y, Wang J, Wang J. Calcium supplementation attenuates fluoride-induced bone injury via PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy and mitochondrial apoptosis in mice. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133411. [PMID: 38181596 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Excessive consumption of fluoride can cause skeletal fluorosis. Mitophagy has been identified as a novel target for bone disorders. Meanwhile, calcium supplementation has shown great potential for mitigating fluoride-related bone damage. Hence, this study aimed to elucidate the association between mitophagy and skeletal fluorosis and the precise mechanisms through which calcium alleviates these injuries. A 100 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) exposure model in Parkin knockout (Parkin-/-) mice and a 100 mg/L NaF exposure mouse model with 1% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) intervention were established in the current study. Fluoride exposure caused the impairment of mitochondria and activation of PTEN-induced putative kinase1 (PINK1)/E3 ubiquitin ligase Park2 (Parkin)-mediated mitophagy and mitochondrial apoptosis in the bones, which were restored after blocking Parkin. Additionally, the intervention model showed fluoride-exposed mice exhibited abnormal bone trabecula and mechanical properties. Still, these bone injuries could be effectively attenuated by adding 1% calcium to their diet, which reversed fluoride-activated mitophagy and apoptosis. To summarize, fluoride can activate bone mitophagy through the PINK1/Parkin pathway and mitochondrial apoptosis. Parkin-/- and 1% calcium provide protection against fluoride-induced bone damage. Notably, this study provides theoretical bases for the prevention and therapy of animal and human health and safety caused by environmental fluoride contamination.
