Abstract Bone loss caused by inflammatory disease, such as peri-implantitis, poses a great challenge to clinicians for restoration. Emerging evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are indispensable regulators of bone growth, development, and formation. In the present study, we found that microRNA-128 (miR-128) was differentially up-regulated during the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs). Overexpression of miR-128 promoted osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by up-regulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP), matrix mineralization, mRNA, and protein levels of osteogenic makers (e.g. RUNX2, BMP-2, and COLIA1), whereas inhibition of miR-128 suppressed osteoblastic differentiation in vitro. Mechanistically, miR-128 directly and functionally targeted Dickkopf2 (DKK2), which is a Wnt signaling pathway antagonist, and enhanced Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity. Furthermore, the positive effect of miR-128 on osteogenic differentiation was apparently abrogated by DKK2 overexpression. Collectively, these results indicate that miR-128 promotes osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by targeting DKK2, which may provide a promising approach to the treatment of peri-implantitis.

ncRNA involves in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). WNT5A participates in the growth and development of osteogenic differentiation. This study aims to investigate whether lncRNA MALAT1 regulates BMSCs osteogenesis through WNT5A. qRT-PCR was done to detect the lncRNA MALAT1 level and osteogenic markers in osteoporosis patients and control groups. The above markers and WNT5A protein levels were detected by Western blot. The degree of osteogenic differentiation was detected by ALP activity assay and ALP staining. The differentiation ability of BMSCs after lncRNA MALAT1 overexpression was detected by ARS staining. The binding site of lncRNA MALAT1 to WNT5A was determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. lncRNA MALAT1 expression was higher in patients with osteoporosis, and decreased significantly with increased osteogenic induction. Overexpression of lncRNA MALAT1 in BMSCS reduced WNT5A level, while interference with lncRNA MALAT1 increased WNT5A levels. In cells with overexpression of lncRNA MALAT1, transfection of si-WNT5A can significantly downregulate the RUNX2, OSX, ALP, OCN, OPN, and COL1A1, thereby inhibiting osteogenic differentiation, interfering with the regulation of WNT signaling pathway and regulating BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. lncRNA MALAT1 and WNT5A can regulate BMSCs osteogenesis, thus accelerating the progression of osteoporosis.

Background: In vitro impact of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 17-estradiol (E2) in osteogenic differentiation of castrated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMMSC) still need to be clarified. Materials and Methods: The viability, proliferation and density of cultured rBMMSC isolated from sham operated (Sham) and castrated (Cast) male rats were evaluated. rBMMSC were cultured with osteogenic differentiating medium (ODM) in the presence of DHT (5,10 nM) and E2 (10,100 nM). Osteogenesis was evaluated by alizarin red staining and measurement of calcium deposition and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) activity. Results: Population doubling (PD) of rBMMSC isolated from Cast rats was significantly lower (P<0.05) compared to that isolated from Sham rats. rBMMSC from Cast rats showed low scattered calcified nodule after culturing in ODM and did not cause a significant increase in calcium deposition and B-ALP activity compared to rBMMSCs from Sham rats. Exposure of rBMMSC isolated from Cast rats to DHT (5 nM) or E2 (10 nM) in ODM showed medium scattered calcified nodules with significantly higher (P<0.05) calcium deposition and B-ALP activity. Moreover, exposure of rBMMSC to DHT (10 nM) or E2 (100 nM) showed high scattered calcified nodules with higher (P<0.01) calcium deposition and B-ALP activity Conclusion: These results indicated that the presence of testes might participate in controlling the in vitro proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacity of rBMMSCs. DHT and E2 can enhance the osteogenic capacity of rBMMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Based on these observations, optimum usage of DHT and E2 can overcome the limitations of MSCs and advance the therapeutic bone regeneration potential in the future.

Abstract Abstract 1894 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) give rise to bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and play an essential role in the formation and function of the MM microenvironment. Some recent studies revealed that MSCs from myeloma patients (MM-hMSCs) show an enhanced spontaneous and myeloma cell-induced production of cytokines and a distinctive gene expression profile, when compared to MSCs from normal donors (ND-hMSCs). However, regarding the osteogenic differentiation ability of MM-hMSCs conflicting observations were reported. In this study, we observed that MM-hMSCs, especially for those from MM patients with bone lesions, exhibited in the presence of osteogenic differentiation (OD) medium, significantly decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, reduced expression of specific osteogenic markers (OPN, BMP2, OTX and BSP) and impaired matrix mineralization, compared to ND-hMSCs. However, MGUS-hMSCs, did not show a significantly impaired osteogenesis ability. Primary CFU-ALP assay from BM samples of diseased mice in the 5T33MM model also confirmed that the osteogenic differentiation ability of MSCs was impaired. Previous reports indicated that MM cells can suppress MSCs osteogenesis by HGF and DKK1 as observed in vitro (Giuliani et al, Cancer Res. 2007; Standal et al, Blood. 2007). Since MM-hMSCs have been cultured in vitro for several weeks and without any stimulation of MM cells, we believe that the impaired osteogenic differentiation of MM-hMSCs was due to an intrinsic abnormality. Several reports suggested that NOTCH signalling can maintain bone marrow mesenchymal progenitors in a more undifferentiated state by suppressing osteoblast differentiation (Hilton et al, Nat Med. 2008; Zanotti et al, Endocrinology. 2008). Therefore, we postulate that impaired osteogenic ability of MM-hMSCs might be (at least partly) related to abnormal NOTCH activity during osteogenesis. We found by quantitative real time PCR that NOTCH1, NOTCH2, Dll-1, Jagged-1, and NOTCH pathway downstream genes hes1, hey1, hey2, heyL were considerably decreased in ND-hMSCs after shifting them from normal culture medium to OD medium, indicating that NOTCH signalling was gradually suppressed during MSC osteogenesis. However, it was observed that the expression of NOTCH1, Jagged-1, Hes1 and Hes5 in MM-hMSCs did not decrease to the level of ND-hMSC with statistical difference. This implicates that the NOTCH signaling pathway remains in MM-hMSCs over-activated even in the presence of osteogenesis inducing signals. When the NOTCH signalling inhibitor DAPT was added to MM-hMSCs in OD medium, we found that hes1 expression was suppressed while, RUNX2 expression, a key transcription factor for osteoblastogenesis, as well as ALP activity, osteogenic genes expression and mineralization deposition were all increased. In conclusion our data indicate that MM-hMSCs exhibit in vitro lower osteogenic differentiation ability compared to ND-hMSCs, and that this impairement is associated with an inappropriate NOTCH pathway deactivation during the osteogenesis process. Targeting hMSCs in vivo by NOTCH inhibitors might have therapeutical potential to control bone disease in MM patients. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Osteoblasts were perceived as pivotal cells, recognized as the cells that control both the formative and the resorptive phases of the bone remodeling cycle. Osteoblasts were an essential requirement for osteoclastogenesis though expressing or secreating bioactive osteoclast-differentiation-regulatory proteins, osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF)was the most important factor among these, ODF participate nearly in every step of differentiation and activation of osteoclasts. In addition, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)and its receptors LFA-1 play a role in osteoclast development by affecting adhesion between stromal cells and osteoclast progenitors before the occurrence of ODF-ODF receptor signaling. However, it is not clear about the relationship between ODF, ICAM-1 expression of osteoblasts and differentiation state of osteoblasts. So,the aim of this study was to investgate whether the expression of ODF, ICAM-1 depended on the stage of osteoblastic differentiation from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(rBMSCs). The viability of rBMSCs is reduced significantly by osteogenic inducement as differentiating into osteoblasts, ALPase activity of OS-treated rBMSCs was enhanced obviously within 9 days , declined subsequently and recovered nearly the original level at day 14. Expression of ODF is enhanced with osteogenic differentiation guadully. whereas, expression of ICAM-1 is activated at OS-treated day 6, then keeping at a stable level. This study indicated that rBMSCs undergoing osteogenic inducement was an ideal model for studying the differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts. During the early stage of differentiation along osteoblasts from stem cells to osteocytes, rBMSCs or Osteoprogenitor react somewhat differently from osteoblasts, suggesting the ability of osteoblasts to regulating differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts have been improved with osteogenic culture.

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass and density, which usually parallels a reduced antioxidative capacity and increased reactive oxygen species formation. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs), a population of self-renewing multipotent cells, are a well-recognized source of potential bone precursors with significant clinical potential for tissue regeneration. We previously showed that overexpressing stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD-1) promotes osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs recently recognized to play key roles in many developmental processes, and miRNA let-7c is downregulated during osteoinduction. We found that let-7c was upregulated in the serum of patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis compared with healthy controls. Levels of let-7c during osteogenic differentiation of ADMSCs were examined under oxidative stress in vitro and found to be upregulated. Overexpression of let-7c inhibited osteogenic differentiation, whereas inhibition of let-7c function promoted this process, evidenced by increased expression of osteoblast-specific genes, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization. The luciferase reporter assay was used to validate SCD-1 as a target of let-7c. Further experiments showed that silencing of SCD-1 significantly attenuated the effect of let-7c inhibitor on osteoblast markers, providing strong evidence that let-7c modulates osteogenic differentiation by targeting SCD-1. Inhibition of let-7c promoted the translocation of β-catenin into nuclei, thus activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Collectively, these data suggest that let-7c is induced under oxidative stress conditions and in osteoporosis, reducing SCD-1 protein levels, switching off Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and inhibiting osteogenic differentiation. Thus, let-7c may be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of osteoporosis and especially postmenopausal osteoporosis.
