In the present study, we demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) of the 3rd passage displayed the senescence-associated phenotypes characterized with increased activity of SA-β-gal, altered autophagy, and increased G1 cell cycle arrest, ROS production, and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1compared with BMSCs of the 1st passage. Cholesterol (CH) reduced the number of SA-β-gal positive cells in a dose-dependent manner in aging BMSCs induced by H2O2and the 3rd passage BMSCs. Moreover, CH inhibited the production of ROS and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1in both cellular senescence models and decreased the percentage of BMSCs in G1 cell cycle in the 3rd passage BMSCs. CH prevented the increase in SA-β-gal positive cells induced by RITA (reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis, a p53 activator) or 3-MA (3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor). Our results indicate that CH not only is a structural component of cell membrane but also functionally contributes to regulating cellular senescence by modulating cell cycle, autophagy, and the ROS/p53/p21Cip1/Waf1signaling pathway.

Objective: The treatment of liver failure by stem cell transplantation has attracted growing interest. Herein, we aim to explore the role of sodium butyrate (NaB) in the hepatic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) under liver-specific factors induction in vitro and vivo. Materials & Methods: We isolated BM-MSCs from the mononuclear cell fraction of rabbit bone marrow samples, and identified the cells by Immunophenotypic analysis. We investigated the effects of different concentrations and induction conditions. The histone deacetylase inhibitor NaB induced hepatic differentiation of BM-MSCs under liver-specific factors induction in vitro. Morphological features, liver-specific gene and protein expression, and functional analyses in vitro and vivo were performed to evaluate the hepatic differentiation of BM-MSCs. Results: Our results showed that pre-treated NaB inhibited the expression of liver-specific protein in a dose-dependent manner. The induction efficiency of NaB with 24h pre-treatment was higher than that of NaB continuous intervention. 0.5 mM 24h NaB pre-treated cells can improve liver tissue damage in vivo. And the liver ALB, AAT and the serum TP were significantly increased, while the serum ALT was significantly reduced. Conclusion: Continuous NaB treatment can inhibit BM-MSCs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner at a certain concentration range. 0.5 mM 24h pre-treatment of NaB enhanced differentiation of BM-MSCs into hepatocytes and improves liver injury in vitro and vivo.

AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is required for differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). However, its intrinsic mechanisms are largely unknown. To identify the possible role of m6A binding protein YTHDF1 in hBMSCs osteogenesis in vivo, we constructed Ythdf1 KO mice and showed that depletion of Ythdf1 would result in decreased bone mass in vivo. Both deletion of Ythdf1 in mouse BMSCs and shRNA-mediated knockdown of YTHDF1 in hBMSCs prevented osteogenic differentiation of cells in vitro. Using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) sequencing and RIP-sequencing, we found that ZNF839 (a zinc finger protein) served as a target of YTHDF1. We also verified its mouse homolog, Zfp839, was translationally regulated by Ythdf1 in an m6A-dependent manner. Zfp839 potentiated BMSC osteogenesis by interacting with and further enhancing the transcription activity of Runx2. These findings should improve our understanding of the mechanism of BMSC osteogenesis regulation and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells transplantation gradually become a potential treatment for bone defect in clinic practice. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of PRP and autophagy for osteogenic differentiation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods Thrombin activated PRP was prepared and the BMSCs were treated with activated PRP with different concentration and transfected with miR-140-3p vector (mimics or inhibitor), si-SPRED2 or co-transfected with miR-140-3p inhibitor and si-SPRED2, respectively. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA expression and protein expression. A luciferase reporter assay was conducted to identified the targeting relationship between iR-140-3p and SPRED2 Subsequently, cell proliferation was detected by MTT and ALP activity was also determined. Alizarin red staining was used for the evaluating the formation of calcium nodules. Results MiR-140-3p expression was found to be inhibited by PRP in a dose-dependent manner, besides, cell proliferation, ALP activity, the expression of COL-I, OPN, Runx2 and OCN, and the formation of calcium nodules related to osteogenic differentiation were enhanced by PRP. Subsequently, we found that PRP activated autophagy and up-regulated SPRED2 expression in BMSCs through suppressing miR-140-3p expression. Moreover, we confirmed that miR-140-3p targeted SPRED2 and negatively regulation its expression. Finally, the findings showed that inhibition of miR-140-3p enhanced cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and autophagy of BMSCs by negatively regulating SPRED2 expression. Conclusion Thrombin activated PRP accelerated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by activing autophagy through miR-140-3p/SPRED2 axis.

Objective. To investigate the transplantation effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the expression of interlukin-22 (IL-22) and RANKL in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats. Methods. 32 CIA models were established. 16 CIA rats were transplanted with MSCs, and others were used as nontreatment CIA controls. The concentrations of IL-22 and RANKL in serum were detected by ELISA and those in synovial tissue of rats’ joints by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, the expression of RANKL mRNA was measured by RT-PCR in the fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), cultured with IL-22 in vitro, which were delivered from the joints of CIA rats treated with or without MSCs. Results. The transplantation of MSCs into CIA rats relieved the destruction of joints, measured by AI score, X-ray, and histopathology. MSCs also reduced the expression of IL-22 and RANKL in serum by ELISA (P<0.001) and similarly in FLSs by immunohistochemical staining. In vitro, IL-22 induced significantly the expression of RANKL mRNA in cultured FLSs in a dose-dependent manner, whereas this induction was significantly reduced in FLSs derived from CIA rats transplanted with MSCs (normal controls: F=79.33, P<0.001; CIA controls: F=712.72, P<0.001; and CIA-MSC rats: F=139.04, P<0.001). Conclusion. Our results suggest that the transplantation of MSCs can reduce the expression of RANKL in vivo by downregulating the levels of IL-22, thereby ameliorating the degree of RA bone destruction. This study provides a theoretical basis for a potential therapy of RA with MSCs, and IL-22 and RANKL may become two new targets to treat RA.

Cadmium is a common environmental pollutant that causes bone damage. However, the effects of cadmium on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and its mechanism of action in this process are unclear. Here, we determined the effects of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) on the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs and the potential mechanism involved in this process. As determined in the present investigation, CdCl2, in a concentration-dependent manner, affected the viability of BMMSCs and their cytoskeletons. Exposure to 0.1 or 0.2 µM CdCl2 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs, which was reflected in the down-regulation of osteoblast-related genes (ALP, OCN, Runx2, OSX, and OPN); in suppression of the protein expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2); and in decreased ALP activity and capacity for mineralization. Moreover, mRNA microarray was performed to determine the roles of these factors in BMMSCs treated with CdCl2 in comparison to control BMMSCs. As determined with the microarrays, the Wingless-type (Wnt), mothers against decapentaplegic and the C. elegans gene Sam (SMAD), and Janus kinase-Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathways were involved in the effects caused by CdCl2. Moreover, during differentiation, the protein levels of Wnt3a, β-catenin, lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (LEF1), and T-cell factor 1 (TCF1) were reduced by CdCl2. The current research shows that CdCl2 suppresses the osteogenesis of BMMSCs via inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The results establish a previously unknown mechanism for bone injury induced by CdCl2.
