PurposeRepairing the irradiation-induced osteogenic differentiation injury of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) is beneficial to recovering haematopoiesis injury in radiotherapy; however, its mechanism is elusive. Our study aimed to help meet the needs of understanding the effects of radiotherapy on BM-MSC osteogenic potential.Methods and MaterialsBalb/c mice and the BM-MSCs were used to evaluate the irradiation-induced osteogenic differentiation injury in vivo. The cellular and molecular characterization were applied to determine the mechanism for recovery of irradiation-derived haematopoiesis injuries.ResultsWe report a functional role of IL-12 in acute irradiation hematopoietic injury recovery and intend to dissect the possible mechanisms through BM-MSC, other than the direct effect of IL-12 on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Specifically, we show that early use of IL-12 enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs through IL-12Rβ1/TYK2/STAT3 signaling; furthermore, IL-12 induced osteogenesis facilitated bone formation and irradiation hematopoiesis recovery when transplanted BM-MSCs in the femur of Balb/c mice. For the mechanism of action, we found that IL-12 receptor beta 1 (IL-12Rβ1) expression of irradiated BM-MSCs was upregulated rapidly, coincidentally consistent with early use of IL-12 induced osteogenic differentiation enhancement. IL-12Rβ1 and tyrosine kinase 2 gene (Tyk2) silencing experiments and phosphotyrosine of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) suppression experiments indicated the IL-12Rβ1/TYK2/STAT3 signaling was essential in IL-12-induced osteogenic differentiation enhancement of BM-MSCs.ConclusionThese findings suggested that IL-12 may exert BM-MSCs-based hematopoietic recovery by repairing osteogenic differentiation abilities damages through IL-12Rβ1/TYK2/STAT3 signaling pathway post-irradiation.

Abstract Background Progressive population aging has contributed to the increased global prevalence of diabetes and osteoporosis. Inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by hyperglycemia is a potential pathogenetic mechanism of osteoporosis in diabetic patients. Uncarboxylated osteocalcin (GluOC), a protein secreted by mature osteoblasts, regulates bone development as well as glucose and lipid metabolism. In our previous studies, GluOC was shown to promote osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well characterized. Tumor protein 63 (TP63), as a  transcription factor, is closely related to bone development and glucose metabolism. Results In this study, we verified that high glucose suppressed osteogenesis and upregulated adipogenesis in BMSCs, while GluOC alleviated this phenomenon. In addition, high glucose enhanced TP63 expression while GluOC diminished it. Knock-down of TP63 by siRNA transfection restored the inhibitory effect of high glucose on osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we detected the downstream signaling pathway PTEN/Akt/GSK3β. We found that diminishing TP63 decreased PTEN expression and promoted the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3β. We then applied the activator and inhibitor of Akt, and concluded that PTEN/Akt/GSK3β participated in regulating the differentiation of BMSCs. Conclusions Our results indicate that GluOC reduces the inhibitory effect of high glucose on osteoblast differentiation by regulating the TP63/PTEN/Akt/GSK3β pathway. TP63 is a potential novel target for the prevention and treatment of diabetic osteoporosis.

Cotransplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has been widely reported to promote HSC engraftment and enhance marrow stromal regeneration. The present study aimed to define whether MSC conditioned medium could recapitulate the effects of MSC cotransplantation. Mouse bone marrow (BM) was partially ablated by the administration of a busulfan and cyclophosphamide (Bu–Cy)-conditioning regimen in BALB/c recipient mice. BM cells (BMCs) isolated from C57BL/6 mice were transplanted via tail vein with or without tonsil-derived MSC conditioned medium (T-MSC CM). Histological analysis of femurs showed increased BM cellularity when T-MSC CM or recombinant human pleiotrophin (rhPTN), a cytokine readily secreted from T-MSCs with a function in hematopoiesis, was injected with BMCs. Microstructural impairment in mesenteric and BM arteriole endothelial cells (ECs) were observed after treatment with Bu–Cy-conditioning regimen; however, T-MSC CM or rhPTN treatment restored the defects. These effects by T-MSC CM were disrupted in the presence of an anti-PTN antibody, indicating that PTN is a key mediator of EC restoration and enhanced BM engraftment. In conclusion, T-MSC CM administration enhances BM engraftment, in part by restoring vasculature via PTN production. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic relevance of T-MSC CM for increasing HSC transplantation efficacy.

Abstract Liver injury associated with veno-occlusive disease and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a frequent and severe complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and remains an important cause of transplant-related mortality. Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been evaluated for the prevention and treatment of refractory GVHD. However, poor cell viability has limited the therapeutic capacity of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in vivo. In this study, we genetically engineered C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow MSCs using ex vivo retroviral transduction to overexpress Akt1, a serine threonine kinase and pro-survival signal protein, and tested the hypothesis that Akt1-expressing MSCs (Akt1-MSCs) are more resistant to apoptosis and can ameliorate acute liver injury induced by concanavalin A (ConA) in BALB/c mice. Cell proliferation and apoptosis analyses showed that, under both regular culture and high concentration IFN-γ (100 ng/mL) stimulation conditions, Akt1-GFP-MSCs had proliferation and survival (anti-apoptotic) advantages with down-regulated apoptosis pathways, compared to control GFP-MSCs. Twenty-four hours after receiving lethal dose of ConA (40 mg/kg, intravenous) (N=10 each group), no mouse survived, with or without 1x106 Akt1-MSCs or GFP-MSCs administration (intravenous); however, 3 and 1 survived in the 5×106 Akt1-MSCs group and 5×106 GFP-MSCs groups, respectively. In subsequent sub-lethal dose ConA (20 mg/kg) experiments, compared to GFP-MSCs, mice received Akt1-MSCs administration had significantly lower serum AST, ALT, TNF-α and IFN-γ levels and less histopathological abnormalities. In addition, Akt1-MSCs treated mice had significantly higher serum concentrations of IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In vivo imaging showed that, hepatic fluorescence signal in sub-lethal ConA+Akt1-MSCs group was significantly stronger than ConA+GFP-MSCs group on day 0, and persisted up to 14 days, whereas the signal in ConA+GFP-MSCs, Akt1-MSCs and GFP-MSCs groups was negligible on both day 7 and day 14. Thus, bone marrow derived MSCs genetically enhanced with Akt1 had survival advantage in vitro and in vivo, and have the potential to be a potent therapy for prevention and amelioration of GVHD-associated liver impairment. Further translational pre-clinical studies are ongoing to further determine the efficacy, dosage and timing of administration of Akt1-MSCs in animal models.

Background: Thyroid hormones have many effects on the physiological functions of cells, including growth, differentiation, and metabolism. Objectives: Recently, studies have shown that the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium (ADMSCs-CM) has many osteogenic factors, such as IGF-1, IL-6, and FGFs. Methods: In the current study, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from two sources; the adipose tissue of the testicular fat pad and the bone marrow of rat, and then characterized by flow cytometry. ADMSCs-CM was collected from the ADMSC in the healthy adult male rats. Hypothyroidism was induced by the administration of the Methimazole during 60 days and confirmed by the analysis of the serum level of T4 and TSH hormones. Cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potential of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) derived from hypothyroid rats were investigated in the presence and absence of the CM by MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content assay, and bone-related gene expression. Healthy BMSCs were assigned to the control group. Results: Although Cell proliferation was decreased in the hypothyroid BMSCs, there was no significant difference between the control and the hypothyroid-CM groups. Similarly, osteogenic potential was significantly reduced in the hypothyroid group compared to the control and hypothyroid-CM groups according to the ALP, calcium content assays, and gene expression results. There was no significant difference between the hypothyroid-CM group and control. Conclusions: Our results indicated that hypothyroidism can decrease cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Although ADMSCs-CM improved these parameters, it may be a promising candidate for the bone regeneration of the hypothyroidism cases.

The expression of predominant housekeeping genes used in RT-qPCR can vary during development and differentiation. The frequently used housekeeping genes (ACTB, GAPDH, 18S rRNA, EF1α and RPL 13a) were evaluated during an early stage of the osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) (under normal conditions or treated with CCG-4986) to identify housekeeping genes whose expression remained constant during osteogenic differentiation. When we used RGS4 mRNA, which was determined as copy number per μg of total RNA, to normalize gene expression, we observed that the relative EF1α expression profile was consistent with RGS4 expression after treatment with CCG-4986. All the relative expression profiles of the EF1α, 18S rRNA, and RPL13a housekeeping genes were consistent with RGS4 profiles determined by measuring mRNA copies under normal osteogenic differentiation conditions. The expression profiles calibrated by ACTB and GAPDH were not consistent with those determined using mRNA copy number in untreated cells or cells treated with CCG-4986 under osteogenic differentiation conditions. Under normal osteogenic differentiation conditions, EF1α, 18S rRNA, and RPL 13a are suitable housekeeping genes for RT-qPCR analysis. However, EF1α is the only suitable gene upon CCG-4986 treatment.
