We aimed to explore underlying mechanism by which microRNA-21 (miR-21) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) extracted exosomes (exo) in pancreatic cancer (PC). Bioinformatics analysis identified candidate miRNAs and target mRNAs in PC those were verified by luciferase reporter assay. BMSCs and exo were isolated and co-cultivated with PC cells. PC cells were then treated with plasmids loaded with miR-21 or a disintegrin and metalloprotease 9 (ADAM9), followed by detection of invasion, metastasis and apoptosis through Transwell assay and flow cytometry. MiR-21 was downregulated in PC tissues and cells, while ADAM9 was upregulated and positively correlated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of miR-21 restrained the capacities of proliferation, invasion and migration of PC cells by inhibiting ADAM9 expression. Specific inhibitor GW4869 reduced release of exo and declined miR-21 expression. Treatment with BMSC-exo containing miR-21 suppressed the malignant characteristics of cancer cells. MiR-21 derived from exo of BMSCs inhibited PC progression by ADAM9 down-regulation, providing insight into novel strategy against PC.

Osteoporosis, femoral head necrosis, and congenital bone defects are orthopedic disorders characterized by reduced bone generation and insufficient bone mass. Bone regenerative therapy primarily relies on the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their ability to differentiate osteogenically. Icariin (ICA) is the active ingredient of Herba epimedii, a common herb used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulations, and can effectively enhance BMSC proliferation and osteogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism of ICA action in BMSCs is not completely clear. In this review, we provide an overview of the studies on the role and mechanism of action of ICA in BMSCs, to provide greater insights into its potential clinical use in bone regeneration.

Abstract Background and aim: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease inducing the absorption of alveolar bone and leading to tooth loss. Human amnion–derived mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) have been used for studying inflammatory processes. This study aimed to explore the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs).Methods: The cells were incubated with a co-culture system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were used to detect the oxidative stress level. Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red assay, cell transfection, and rat mandibular defect model were used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the molecular mechanisms.Results: This study showed that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenesis of LPS-induced HBMSCs, while the ANRIL level in HBMSCs decreased during co-culture. ANRIL had no significant influence on the proliferation of LPS-induced HBMSCs. However, its overexpression inhibited the HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro, whereas its knockdown reversed these effects. Mechanistically, this study found that downregulating ANRIL led to the overexpression of microRNA-125a (miR-125a), and further contributed to the competitive binding of miR-125a and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), thus significantly activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Conclusion: The study indicated that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced HBMSCs via the ANRIL/miR-125a/APC axis, and offered a novel approach for periodontitis therapy.

Diabetic Osteoporosis

Abstract Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is attributed to the aberrant physiological function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under high glucose (HG) environment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathological processes of DOP. We aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of miRNA in DOP. BMSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium with HG to induce osteogenic differentiation, and the interaction between miR-493-5p and ZEB2 was assessed by luciferase assay. Herein, we found miR-493-5p is gradually reduced during osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. HG treatment inhibits osteogenic differentiation and induces an up-regulation of miR-493-5p leading to reduced level of its downstream target ZEB2. Inhibition of miR-493-5p attenuates HG-induced osteogenic differentiation defects by upregulation of ZEB2. Mechanistically, miR-493-5p/ZEB2 signalling mediates HG-inhibited osteogenic differentiation by inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. More importantly, knockdown of miR-493-5p therapeutically alleviated the DOP condition in mice. HG prevents BMSCs osteogenic differentiation via up-regulation of miR-493-5p, which results in reduced level of ZEB2 by directly targeting its 3′-untranslated region of mRNA. Thus, miR-493-5p/ZEB2 is a potential therapeutic target and provides novel strategy for the treatment and management of DOP.

This study aims to dissect the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) on the in vitro activity of glioma cells and the underlying mechanisms. The glioma cells were transfected with miR-133 mimics, RACK1-Vector, negative control (NC) and miR-133 mimic+RACK1-Vector, respectively, and then co-cultured with BMSC followed by analysis of miR-133 expression via PCR, apoptosis via flow cytometry, proliferation via CCK-8, invasion and migration via Transwell assay, the expression of proteins involved in apoptosis, anti-apoptosis, invasiveness and RACK1 by western blot, and the targeting relationship between miR-133 and RACK1 by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. In comparison with normal glial cells, glioma cells exhibited a significantly diminished miR-133 level. miR-133 was upregulated in glioma cells after co-culture with BMSC, along with significantly restrained proliferation rate, migration and invasion activities as well as reduced protein levels (MMP-2, Vimentin, N-cadherin and MMP-9). Mechanistic study showed that miR-133 can retard the expression of RACK1, thereby impeding the invasion, migration and proliferation activities of cells while triggering cell apoptosis. In conclusion, BMSC-originated miR-133 can impede the migration and invasion while enhancing the apoptosis of glioma cells via targeting RACK1.

This study investigates miR-506 targeting the autophagy and apoptosis-related gene Beclin1 and analyzes the mechanism of its effect on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation and metastasis to breast cancer. Detection of miRNA-506 expression in BMSCs and breast cancer cells was done by Real-time PCR. A luciferase reporter system analyzed the targeting relationship between Beclin1 and miR-506. miR-NC group, BMSCs induction group, siRNA-NC group, and siRNA-Beclin1 group was set to measure Beclin1 expression, cell differentiation and migration by transwell assay, cell viability by MTT assay, proliferation by EdU staining and apoptosis and cycle by flow cell assay. miRNA-506 showed a high expression in breast cancer cells and low expression in BMSCs. miRNA-506 mimics significantly promote breast cancer cell proliferation which was inhibited by miRNA-506 inhibitors. The expression of Beclin1mRNA was significantly higher and miR-506 was lower in breast cancer cells. BMSCs induction significantly downregulated Beclin1 expression, increased miR-506 expression, and promoted cell invasive differentiation and metastatic capacity. In conclusion, elevated miR-506 expression was associated with decreased Beclin1 expression and increased metastatic differentiation capacity of breast cancer cells, which could effectively increase differentiation capacity and metastatic differentiation after induction by BMSCs.

AbstractChronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the main cause of non-relapse mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in bone marrow (BM) remain unclear in the pathophysiology of cGVHD. In this study, we analyzed BM-MSCs from 66 patients after allo-HSCT, including 33 with active cGVHD and 33 without cGVHD. BM-MSCs showed similar morphology, frequency, phenotype, and proliferation in patients with or without cGVHD. MSCs from the active cGVHD group showed a decreased apoptosis rate (P < 0.01). Osteogenic capacity was increased while adipogenic capacity was decreased in the active cGVHD MSCs compared with no-cGVHD MSCs. The expressions of osteogenic gene RUNX2 and COL1A1 were higher (P < 0.001) while adipogenic gene PPAR-γ and FABP4 were lower (P < 0.001) in the active cGVHD MSCs than no-cGVHD MSCs. These changes were associated with the severity of cGVHD (P < 0.0001; r = 0.534, r = 0.476, r = −0.796, and r = −0.747, respectively in RUNX2, COL1A1, PPAR-γ, and FABP4). The expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway ligand Wnt3a was increased in cGVHD-MSCs. The dysfunction of cGVHD-MSCs could be reversed by Dickkopf related protein 1(DKK1) to inhibit the binding of Wnt3a. In summary, the differentiation of BM-MSCs was abnormal in active cGVHD, and its underlying mechanism is the upregulated of Wnt3a through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway of MSCs.
