Abstract
Strontium (Sr) and strontium ranelate (SR) are commonly used therapeutic drugs for patients suffering from osteoporosis. Researches have showed that Sr can significantly improve the biological activity and physicochemical properties of materials in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, a large number of strontium containing biomaterials have been developed for repairing bone defects and promoting osseointegration. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of Sr-containing biomaterials along with the current state of their clinical use. For this purpose, the different types of biomaterials including calcium phosphate, bioactive glass, and polymers are discussed and provided future outlook on the fabrication of the next-generation multifunctional and smart biomaterials.

[PMID: 33804889 PMCID: PMC8036595 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22073292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In chronic kidney disease, hyperphosphatemia upregulates the Ca2+ channel ORAI and its activating Ca2+ sensor STIM in megakaryocytes and platelets. ORAI1 and STIM1 accomplish store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and play a key role in platelet activation. Signaling linking phosphate to upregulation of ORAI1 and STIM1 includes transcription factor NFAT5 and serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase SGK1. In vascular smooth muscle cells, the effect of hyperphosphatemia on ORAI1/STIM1 expression and SOCE is suppressed by Mg2+ and the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) agonist Gd3+. The present study explored whether sustained exposure to Mg2+ or Gd3+ interferes with the phosphate-induced upregulation of NFAT5, SGK1, ORAI1,2,3, STIM1,2 and SOCE in megakaryocytes. To this end, human megakaryocytic Meg-01 cells were treated with 2 mM ß-glycerophosphate for 24 h in the absence and presence of either 1.5 mM MgCl2 or 50 µM GdCl3. Transcript levels were estimated utilizing q-RT-PCR, protein abundance by Western blotting, cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by Fura-2 fluorescence and SOCE from the increase in [Ca2+]i following re-addition of extracellular Ca2+ after store depletion with thapsigargin (1 µM). As a result, Mg2+ and Gd3+ upregulated CaSR and blunted or virtually abolished the phosphate-induced upregulation of NFAT5, SGK1, ORAI1,2,3, STIM1,2 and SOCE in megakaryocytes. In conclusion, Mg2+ and the CaSR agonist Gd3+ interfere with phosphate-induced dysregulation of [Ca2+]i in megakaryocytes.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:1610. [PMID: 33562632 PMCID: PMC7914902 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22041610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is released by endothelial cells in the blood vessel wall to enhance vasodilation. Marine polyphenols are known to have protective effects against vascular dysfunction and hypertension. The present study is the first to investigate how diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) isolated from Ishige okamurae affects calcium levels, resulting in enhanced vasodilation. We examined calcium modulation with the well-known receptors, acetylcholine receptor (AchR) and vascular endothelial growth factor 2 (VEGFR2), which are related to NO formation, and further confirmed the vasodilatory effect of DPHC. We confirmed that DPHC stimulated NO production by increasing calcium levels and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression. DPHC affected AchR and VEGFR2 expression, thereby influencing transient calcium intake. Specific antagonists, atropine and SU5416, were used to verify our findings. Furthermore, based on the results of in vivo experiments, we treated Tg(flk:EGFP) transgenic zebrafish with DPHC to confirm its vasodilatory effect. In conclusion, the present study showed that DPHC modulated calcium transit through AchR and VEGFR2, increasing endothelial-dependent NO production. Thus, DPHC, a natural marine component, can efficiently ameliorate cardiovascular diseases by improving vascular function.

[PMID: 33519531 PMCID: PMC7844313 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.629542] [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: 11/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Previous studies have shown that high glucose (HG) induces endothelial cell (EC) damage via endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Although the underlying mechanisms are still unclear, recent studies have demonstrated the role of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in mediating EC damage. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate whether CaSR mediates HG-induced EndMT and to determine the underlying mechanism. Methods Bioinformatics analysis of microarray profiles (GSE30780) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were performed to select the hub genes. As for in vitro research, the human aortic ECs (HAECs) were exposed to HG to induce EndMT. The expression of CaSR and β-catenin was determined, as well as their effects on EndMT (endothelial marker CD31, mesenchymal marker FSP1, and α-SMA). Results The bioinformatics analysis indicated CaSR was significantly increased in HG-treated HAECs and was one of the hub genes. The in vitro results showed that HG significantly inhibited the expression of CD31 and increased FSP1 and α-SMA in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, CaSR was increased in HAECs after HG treatment. The CaSR antagonist attenuated HG-induced expression of EndMT-related markers. Furthermore, HG treatment increased the nuclear translocation of β-catenin in HAECs. In contrast, blocking the nuclear translocation of β-catenin by DKK1 could attenuate HG-induced EndMT (increased the protein expression of CD31 by 30% and decreased the protein expression of FSP1 by 15% and α-SMA by 25%). CaSR siRNA further inhibited the HG-induced nuclear translocation of β-catenin in HAECs. Conclusion Our research demonstrated that HG-induced EndMT in HAECs might be mediated by CaSR and the downstream nuclear translocation of β-catenin.

Aberrant upregulation of CaSR promotes pathological new bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis. EMBO Mol Med 2020; 12:e12109. [PMID: 33259138 PMCID: PMC7721361 DOI: 10.15252/emmm.202012109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Pathological new bone formation is a typical pathological feature in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Previous studies have shown that the calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) is critical for osteogenic differentiation while also being highly involved in many inflammatory diseases. However, whether it plays a role in pathological new bone formation of AS has not been reported. Here, we report the first piece of evidence that expression of CaSR is aberrantly upregulated in entheseal tissues collected from AS patients and animal models with different hypothetical types of pathogenesis. Systemic inhibition of CaSR reduced the incidence of pathological new bone formation and the severity of the ankylosing phenotype in animal models. Activation of PLCγ signalling by CaSR promoted bone formation both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, various inflammatory cytokines induced upregulation of CaSR through NF‐κB/p65 and JAK/Stat3 pathways in osteoblasts. These novel findings suggest that inflammation‐induced aberrant upregulation of CaSR and activation of CaSR‐PLCγ signalling in osteoblasts act as mediators of inflammation, affecting pathological new bone formation in AS.
