This study aimed to certify the hypothesis that miR-138-5p is expected to reduced osteodifferentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) by FOXC1 down-regulation. hBMSCs were separated from bone marrow and osteogenic induction medium was added to stimulate osteogenic differentiation. Flow cytometric analysis was applied to evaluate the expression of cell surface antigens associated with hBMSCs, including CD29, CD44, CD90, CD45 and CD34. qRT-PCR assay and western blot assay were determined to measure the mRNA and protein expression of miR-138-5p, OCN, RUNX2, BSP, ALP and FOXC1. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining assay and Alizarin Red Staining (ARS) assay were determined to validate the osteogenic differentiation. Luciferase assay was applied to test the interaction of miR-138-5p and FOXC1. We demonstrated miR-138-5p is downregulated in osteogenic differentiated hBMSCs. Besides, miR-138-5p overexpression diminished osteodifferentiated markers expression, ALP activity and ARS activity. Furthermore, we revealed that forkhead transcription factor C1 (FOXC1) was a downstream target gene of miR-138-5p and knockdown of miR-138-5p improved the osteogenesis differentiation of hBMSCs by upregulating FOXC1. miR-138-5p knockdown promoted osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs via directly targeting FOXC1. This study suggested miR-138-5p may be a new target for hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation and the treatment of bone defects.

The disruption of normal hematopoiesis has been observed in leukemia, but the mechanism is unclear. Osteoblasts originate from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and can maintain normal hematopoiesis. To investigate how leukemic cells inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the role of Notch signaling in this process, we cocultured BMSCs with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells in osteogenic induction medium. The expression levels of Notch1, Hes1, and the osteogenic markers Runx2, Osteopontin (OPN), and Osteocalcin (OCN) were assessed by real-time RT-PCR and western blotting on day 3. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was analyzed using an ALP kit, and mineralization deposits were detected by Alizarin red S staining on day 14. And then we treated BMSCs with Jagged1 and anti-Jagged1 neutralizing Ab. The expression of Notch1, Hes1, and the abovementioned osteogenic differentiation markers was measured. Inhibition of the expression of Runx2, OPN, and OCN and reduction of ALP activity and mineralization deposits were observed in BMSCs cocultured with ALL cells, while Notch signal inhibiting rescued these effects. All these results indicated that ALL cells could inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by activating Notch signaling, resulting in a decreased number of osteoblastic cells, which may impair normal hematopoiesis.

ABSTRACT Osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone and bone marrow, imposes a heavy burden on public health care systems owing to its progressive bone destruction and sequestration. Human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) play a key role in the process of bone formation, and mounting evidence has confirmed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in hBMSC osteogenic differentiation. Nevertheless, the exact function and molecular mechanism of lncRNAs in osteogenic differentiation during osteomyelitis development remain to be explored. In this study, hBMSCs were treated with staphylococcal protein A (SpA) during osteogenic differentiation induction to mimic osteomyelitis in vitro. The results of lncRNA microarray analysis revealed that FAM83H-AS1 presented the lowest expression among the significantly downregulated lncRNAs. Functionally, ectopic expression of FAM83H-AS1 contributed to osteogenic differentiation of SpA-induced hBMSCs. Additionally, our findings revealed that FAM83H-AS1 negatively regulated microRNA 541-3p (miR-541-3p), and WNT3A was validated as a target gene of miR-541-3p. Mechanically, FAM83H-AS1 elevated WNT3A expression by competitively binding with miR-541-3p. Lastly, it was demonstrated that FAM83H-AS1/miR-541-3p/WNT3A ameliorated SpA-mediated inhibition of the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, which provided a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with osteomyelitis.

Background To analyze and identify the circular RNAs (circRNAs) involved in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on titanium by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). Methods The experimental material was SMAT titanium and the control material was annealed titanium. Cell Counting Kits-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation of hBMSCs, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs on the sample surfaces. The bioinformatics prediction software miwalk3.0 was used to construct competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks by predicting circRNAs with osteogenesis-related messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). The circRNAs located at the key positions in the networks were selected and analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR). Results Compared with annealed titanium, SMAT titanium could promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. The total number of predicted circRNAs was 51. Among these, 30 circRNAs and 8 miRNAs constituted 6 ceRNA networks. Circ-LTBP2 was selected for verification. QRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of hsa_circ_0032599, hsa_circ_0032600 and hsa_circ_0032601 were upregulated in the experimental group compared with those in the control group; the differential expression of hsa_circ_0032600 was the most obvious and statistically significant, with a fold change (FC) = 4.25 ± 1.60, p-values (p) < 0.05.

AbstractBioresorbable biomaterials can fill bone defects and act as temporary scaffold to recruit MSCs to stimulate their differentiation. Among the different bioresorbable polymers studied, this work focuses on poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). Were prepared blends of PHBV and PCL to obtain PHBV based biomaterials with good tenacity, important for bone tissue repair, associated with biocompatible properties of PCL. This study assesses the viability of Vero cells on scaffolds of PHBV, PCL, and their blends and the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Materials were characterized in surface morphology, DSC and Impact Strength (IS). Vero cells and MSCs were assessed by MTT assay, cytochemical and SEM analysis. MSC osteogenic differentiation was evaluated through alizarin red staining and ALP activity. We found some roughness onto surface materials. DSC showed that the blends presented two distinct melting peaks, characteristic of immiscible blends. IS test confirmed that PHBV-PCL blends is an alternative for increase the tenacity of PHBV. MTT assay showed cells with high metabolic activities on extract toxicity test, but with low activity in the direct contact test. SEM analysis showed spreading cells with irregular and flattened morphology on different substrates. Cytochemical study revealed that MSCs maintained their morphology, although in smaller number for MSCs. The development of nodules of mineralized organic matrix in MSC cultures was identified by alizarin red staining and osteogenic differentiation was confirmed by the quantification of ALP activity. Thus, our scaffolds did not interfere on viability of Vero cells or the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.

Abstract Background Osteoporosis is a common disease in aging populations. However, osteoporosis treatment is still challenging. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of neohesperidin (NEO) in osteoporosis progression and the potential mechanism. Methods Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and treated with different concentrations of NEO (0, 10, 30, 100 μM). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell count kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. RNA-sequencing was performed on the isolated BMSCs with control and NEO treatment. Differentially expressed genes were obtained by R software. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin red staining (ARS) were performed to assess the osteogenic capacity of the NEO. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of osteoblast markers. Western blot was used to evaluate the protein levels in BMSCs. Results NEO treatment significantly improved hBMSC proliferation at different time points, particularly when cells were incubated with 30 μM NEO (P < 0.05). NEO dose-dependently increased the ALP activity and calcium deposition than the control group (P < 0.05). A total of 855 differentially expressed genes were identified according to the significance criteria of log2 (fold change) > 1 and adj P < 0.05. DKK1 partially reversed the promotion effects of NEO on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. NEO increased levels of the β-catenin protein in BMSCs. Conclusion NEO plays a positive role in promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which was related with activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract Background: Osteoporosis is the most common bone metabolic disease. Emerging evidence suggests that exosomes are secreted by diverse cells such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and play important role in cell-to-cell communication and tissue homeostasis. Recently, the discovery of exosomes has attracted attention in the field of bone remodeling. Methods: The exosomes were extracted from BMSCs and labeled by PKH-67, and then incubated with hFOB1.19 cells to investigate the miR-196a function on the osteoblast differentiation of hFOB1.19. The osteoblast differentiation was detected via alizarin red staining and the expression of osteoblast genes were detected by western blot. The cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometer. The target relationship of miR-196a and Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) were verified by luciferase assay and western blot. Results: Here we demonstrated that exosomes extracted from BMSCs (BMSC-exo) significantly promoted hFOB1.19 differentiation to osteoblasts. We found that BMSC-exo were enriched with miR-196a and delivered miR-196a to hFOB1.19 cells to inhibit its target Dkk1, which is a negative regulator of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Conclusion: BMSC-exo activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway to promote osteogenic differentiation, while BMSC-exo failed to exert the effects when miR-196a was deprived. In conclusion, miR-196a delivered by exosomes from BMSCs plays an essential role in enhancing osteoblastic differentiation by targeting Dkk1 to activate Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
