Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be used to treat bone defects. The neuropeptide substance P (SP) plays an important role in a variety of life activities. However, the effect of SP on BMSCs differentiation in high glucose environment remains unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group; high glucose group; and SP group. The secretion of SP was detected by ELISA; cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay; apoptosis activity was detected by Cas-pase3 activity kit. Real time PCR was performed to measure Bax and Bcl-2 expression. Alizarin red staining was to detect calcified nodule formation. Western blot was done to measure AMPK/mTOR signaling protein expression. In high glucose environment, SP secretion was significantly decreased, along with increased cell proliferation, Caspase3 activity and Bax expression. Meanwhile, Bcl-2 expression, ALP activity and calcified nodules formation was significantly decreased with reduced AMPK phosphorylation and increased mTOR expression (P < 0.05). SP addition in high glucose environment significantly promoted SP secretion and cell proliferation, decreased Caspase3 activity and Bax expression, increased Bcl-2 expression, ALP activity and calcification nodules formation with increased AMPK phosphorylation and decreased mTOR expression (P < 0.05). In high glucose environment, SP secretion is decreased in BMSCs. Up-regulation of SP in BMSCs cells in high glucose environment inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs and promote cell proliferation and osteogenesis by regulating AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can treat osteoporosis. Whether GNAS affects BMSCs osteogenic differentiation under high glucose condition is unknown. Rat BMSCs were isolated and randomly divided into control group, high glucose group and GNAS group. The BMSCs were transfected with GNAS plasmid in high glucose environment followed by analysis of GNAS expression by Real time PCR and Western blot, BMSCs proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, OC and BMP-2 expression by Real time PCR and expression of ERK/P38 signaling pathway protein by Western blot. In high glucose environment, GNAS expression was significantly decreased, cell proliferation was inhibited, Caspase 3 activity was increased, along with decreased ALP activity, calcified nodules formation and expression of OC, BMP-2, p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 (P < 0.05). GNAS plasmid transfected into high glucose environment BMSCs can significantly promote GNAS expression and cell proliferation, decrease Caspase 3 activity, increase p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 expression, ALP activity and calcified nodules formation as well as increase OC and BMP-2 expression (P < 0.05). GNAS1 expression is decreased in BMSCs cells in a high glucose environment. Overexpression of GNAS1 can inhibit the apoptosis of BMSCs by regulating the ERK/P38 signaling pathway, promote its proliferation and differentiation into osteogenic direction.

The α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (α-CGRP) regulates bone metabolism and has potential applications in enhancing bone remodeling in vivo. However, α-CGRP's role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were separated into control group, α-CGRP group and α-CGRP siRNA group, in which BMSCs were transfected with α-CGRP plasmid and α-CGRP siRNA respectively followed by analysis of α-CGRP level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, Smad1 and Smad7 level by Western blot and Runx2 by real time PCR. αCGRP transfection into BMSCs significantly up-regulated CGRP, which could promote cell proliferation, inhibit Caspase 3 activity, promote ALP activity, increase calcified nodules formation and upregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared to control (P < 0.05); transfection of αCGRP siRNA significantly down-regulated CGRP in BMSCs, inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase 3 activity, inhibited ALP activity, inhibited calcified nodules formation and downregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 (P < 0.05). αCGRP overexpression promotes the Smad/Runx2 signaling, which in turn promotes BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis. Decreased αCGRP level inhibits Smad/Runx2 signaling, promotes BMSCs apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be multi-directionally differentiated and are widely used in tissue engineering. 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) can induce osteogenesis and is involved in osteogenic formation. However, the role of 25-hydroxycholesterol in BMSCs is unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group and 25-HC treatment (2 and 4 μM) group. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Caspase-3 and ALP activity was analyzed. Real time PCR was done to analyze Runx2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 expression. Red staining detects the calcified nodule formation. Wnt5 level was detected by western blot and TGF-β secretion was analyzed by ELISA. 25-HC treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and the expression of Runx2 and OPN, increased expression of FABP4 and PPARγ2, decreased formation of calcified nodules, secretion of TGF-β and reduced expression of Wnt5 compared to control group (P < 0.05), and the above changes were significant with the increase of the concentration of 25-HC (P < 0.05). 25-hydroxycholesterol regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs by regulating Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, inhibiting the differentiation of BMSCs into osteogenic direction and promoting its adipogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation plays an important role in Osteoporosis (OP). LncRNA DGCR5 participates in OP development. However, LncRNA DGCR5's effect on BMSCs in osteoporosis rats and related mechanisms have not been elucidated. SD rats were divided into control group and OP group. Rat BMSCs were cultured and transfected with LncRNA DGCR5 siRNA followed by analysis of LncRNA DGCR5 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, of ERK/P38 signaling pathway protein expression by Western blot, ALP activity, and the osteogenic genes Runx2 and OC expression by Real time PCR. LncRNA DGCR51 expression was increased in BMSCs of OP rats. Compared with control group, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, Caspase 3 activity was increased, p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 were downregulated, ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression was decreased (P < 0.05). DGCR51 siRNA transfection into OP rat BMSCs significantly reduced DGCR51 expression, promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 expression, increased ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression compared to OP group (P < 0.05). LncRNA DGCR51 expression is increased in OP rat BMSCs. Down-regulation of LncRNA DGCR51 promoted the activation of ERK/P38 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of BMSCs and promoting proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSC in OP rats.

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.

Chordin-like 1 (CHRDL1) functions in multiple tissues and organs. However, whether CHRDL1 affects bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group, CHRDL1 group and CHRDL1 siRNA group followed by analysis of CHRDL1 level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, expression of o Runx2, OC and PPARγ2 by Real time PCR, TGF-β secretion by ELIS, and Wnt5 protein expression by Western blot. CHRDL1 expression was significantly increased in CHRDL1 group, along with significantly promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OC, decreased PPARγ2 expression, increased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression compared to control group (P < 0.05). However, CHRDL1 siRNA transfection significantly decreased CHRDL1 expression, inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and Runx2 and OC expression, increased PPARγ2 expression, decreased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression. (P < 0.05). Down-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs promotes Wnt5/TGF-β signaling transduction, which in turn increases BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Up-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs inhibited the activation of Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, promoted BMSCs apoptosis, and inhibited BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Bmi1 is a polycomb histone that regulates stem cells, but the role and mechanism of Bmi1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation has not been elucidated. Rat BMSCs were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group and inflammation group (treated with LPS). Bmi1 and Bmi1 siRNA were transfected into inflammatory BMSCs, followed by analysis of Bmi1 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase3 activity, ALP activity, expression of Runx2, OP and PPARγ 2 by Real time PCR, as well as secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA. In inflammatory environment, Bmi1 expression was significantly decreased, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, along with increased Caspase3 activity, decreased ALP activity and the expression of Runx2 and OP, increased PPAR 2 expression and secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0 05). Transfection of Bmi1 siRNA into inflammatory BMSCs further significantly aggravated the above changes (P < 0 05). Bmi1 plasmid transfected into inflammatory BMSCs significantly promoted Bmi1 expression and cell proliferation, decreased Caspase3 activity, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OP, decreased PPAR γ2 expression and TNF-α and IL-1β secretion (P < 0 05). Bmi1 expression is reduced in BMSCs under inflammation. Up-regulation of Bmi1 can inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors, regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs, and promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis involves inflammation, age, weight and other factors. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) regulates cell apoptosis, metastasis, and growth. However, whether ILK affects bone formation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in an inflammatory environment has not been elucidated. Rat BMSCs were isolated and assigned into control group, inflammation group (lipopolysaccharide was added to cells); and si-ILK group (ILK siRNA was transfected into the inflammation group BMSCs) followed by analysis of cell proliferation by MTT assay, expression of ILK, Runx2 and OP by real time PCR, ALp activity, TNF-α and IL-6 secretion by ELISA and MAPK/AKT signaling protein expression by western blot. Compared to control, ILK in BMSCs cells in inflammatory environment was significantly upregulated, resulting in inhibition of cell proliferation, decreased ALP activity, reduced expression of osteogenic genes Runx2 and OP, increased secretion of TNF-α and IL-6, and downregulated p-AKT (P < 0.05); transfection of ILK siRNA down-regulated ILK in inflammatory environment BMSCs, which significantly increased BMSCs cell proliferation, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OP, decreased TNF-α and IL-6 secretion and increased p-AKT expression (P < 0.05). ILK expression is increased in BMSCs in an inflammatory environment. Down-regulation of ILK in BMSCs cells in an inflammatory environment can regulate MAPK/AKT signaling, inhibit inflammatory factors secretion, thereby promoting BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation.

Our study intends to assess the relationship between exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-exo) and breast cancer. BMSC-exo were isolated and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. After transfection of BMSCs with miR-204 inhibitor, breast cancer cells were incubated with BMSC-exo followed by analysis of cell proliferation by CCK-8 assay, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, and expression of apoptosis-related protein and NF-κB signaling by western blot. The co-culture of BMSC-exo with breast cancer cells enhanced miR-204 transcription, inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Further, BMSC-exo accelerated apoptosis as demonstrated by the increased level of Bax and casepase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression, as well as reduced NF-κB signaling activity. But knockdown of miR-204 abolished the effect of BMSC-exo on apoptosis and proliferation with NF-κB signaling activation. In conclusion, miR-204 from BMSC-exo restrains growth of breast cancer cell and might be a novel target for treating breast cancer.
