Increased adipocyte and decreased osteoblast differentiation, combined with the ectopic proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), represent the primary causes of osteoporosis. The dysregulation of numerous intracellular bioactive factors is responsible for the aberrant differentiation and growth of BM-MSCs. In this study, we focused on a new stimulative factor, integrator complex subunit 7 (INTS7), and its cooperative protein ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 3 (ABCD3)/high-density lipoprotein-binding protein (HDLBP) in mouse BM-MSCs. We aimed to uncover the effects of the INTS7–ABCD3/HDLBP interaction on BM-MSC biological behaviors and the potential mechanism underlying these effects. Functional in vitro experiments showed that the suppression of the INTS7–ABCD3 interaction rather than HDLBP could impair BM-MSC proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. Moreover, Alizarin Red S and Oil Red O staining, respectively, revealed that INTS7 and ABCD3 knockdown but not HDLBP knockdown could decrease osteoblastic differentiation and accelerate the adipogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs. Mechanistically, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and histone γ-H2AX quantities significantly increased, whereas the levels of antioxidants declined due to INTS7 and ABCD3 inhibition in BM-MSCs. These findings indicated that the suppression of oxidative stress could be involved in the INTS7/ABCD3 co-regulatory mechanisms for BM-MSC proliferation and differentiation, identifying new potential candidates for osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract Background This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the effect of the BMP signaling pathway on osteoblastic differentiation in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) in rats with osteoporosis (OP). Methods The bilateral ovaries of female SD rats were resected for the establishment of a rat OP model. The osteoblastic differentiation of isolated rBMSCs was identified through osteogenic induction. Adipogenetic induction and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to detect adipogenic differentiation and the expression of rBMSC surface markers. The rBMSCs were grouped into the blank group, NC group, si-BMP2 group, and oe-BMP2 group. The expression levels of key factors and osteogenesis-related factors were determined by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The formation of calcified nodules was observed by alizarin red staining. ALP activity was measured by alkaline phosphatase staining. Results The rats with OP had greater weight but decreased bone mineral density (BMD) than normal rats (all P < 0.01). The rBMSCs from rats with OP were capable of osteoblastic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation and showed high expression of CD44 (91.3 ± 2.9%) and CD105 (94.8 ± 2.1%). Compared with the blank group, the oe-BMP2 group had elevated BMP-2 and Smad1 levels and an increase in calcified nodules and ALP-positive staining areas (all P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression levels of Runx2, OC, and OPN in the oe-BMP2 group were relatively higher than those in the blank group (all P < 0.05). The findings in the si-BMP2 group were opposite to those in the oe-BMP2 group. Conclusion BMP signaling pathways activated by BMP-2 can promote the osteoblastic differentiation of rBMSCs from rats with OP.

Oxidative stress affects bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). YAP is an effector in Hippo signaling, but its’ role in BMSCs osteogenesis/adipogenesis under oxidative stress has not been reported. Mice BMSCs were isolated and assigned into 3 groups, normal control group; oxidative stress group; and YAP group (transfected with YAP plasmid) followed by analysis of YAP expression by Real time PCR. After 14 days of osteogenesis or adipogenic induction, RUNX2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 mRNA level was measured along with ROS and SOD activities, ALP activity and Wnt5 expression by western blot. Under oxidative stress, YAP expression significantly decreased, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA expression decreased, ROS expression increased, SOD activity decreased, FABP4 and PPARγ2 protein expression increased, ALP activity and Wnt5 expression decreased (P <0.05). YAP plasmid transfection could significantly up-regulate YAP, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA level, decrease ROS, increase SOD and ALP activity, reduce FABP4 and PPARγ2 mRNA expression and increase Wnt5 expression (P <0.05). YAP level in BMSCs is decreased under oxidative stress. Up-regulating YAP can improve the redox balance, promote BMSCs osteogenic differentiation under oxidative stress and inhibit their differentiation to adipocytes.

Oxidative stress causes damage and apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) regulates bone differentiation. However, whether OPG plays a role in osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation under oxidative stress remains poorly understood. Rat BMSCs were randomly divided into control group; H2O2 group, in which H2O2 was used to prepare oxidative stress model; OPG group, in which 5 μM OPG was added to BMSCs based on oxidative stress model followed by analysis of BMSCs proliferation by MTT assay, BMSCs apoptosis, expression of RUNX2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 by real time PCR, OPG and RANKL protein expression by Western blot as well as SOD activity and ROS content by spectrophotometry. Compared with control group, H2O2 significantly decreased BMSCs proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, downregulated RUNX2 and OPN, upregulated FABP4 and PPARγ2, decreased SOD activity and increased ROS content (P < 0.05). Under H2O2 treatment, OPG addition significantly promoted BMSCs proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased RUNX2 and OPN expression, decreased FABP4 and PPARγ2 expression, increased SOD activity, and decreased ROS content and RANKL expression (P < 0.05). OPG can promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs under oxidative stress, inhibit adipogenic differentiation, and protect BMSCs from damage and promote BMSCs proliferation by regulating OPG/RANKL signaling pathway.

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.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have self-renewal potential. Sirt1 regulates cell differentiation and apoptosis. However, Sirt1’s effect on BMSCs osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation has not been fully elucidated. SD rats were randomly divided into Osteoporosis (OP) group and sham operation group. OP rat BMSCs were isolated and assigned into control group, NC group and Sirt1 siRNA group followed by analysis of Sirt1 level by Real-time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, expression of OC, OPN and FABP4 level by real time PCR, and β-Catenin/TCF1/Runx2 protein expression by Western blot. In OP group, Sirt1 expression was significantly increased and BMSCs proliferation was decreased along with reduced OC and OPN mRNA expression, increased FABP4 expression and reduced β-Catenin/TCF1/Runx2 expression compared with sham operation group (P < 0.05). In Sirt1 siRNA group, Sirt1 expression was significantly reduced, BMSCs proliferation was increased, OC and OPN mRNA expression was increased, FABP4 expression was decreased, and β-Catenin/TCF1/Runx2 expression was increased compared to OP group (P < 0.05). Sirt1 is increased in osteoporosis. Down-regulating Sirt1 in osteoporotic BMSCs can regulate β-Catenin/TCF1/Runx2 signaling and promote BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and inhibit adipogenic differentiation.

This study was to determine whether microRNA (miRNA)-126 regulates osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Rat BMSCs were extracted and stimulated for osteogenic differentiation. Functional experiments were conducted to assess miR-126’s impact on BMSCs differentiation. Western blot and RT-qPCR determined miR-126 expression. ALP activity detection and alizarin red staining detection were also performed. After osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, miR-126 expression was gradually decreased over time. Overexpression of miR-26 decreased ALP activity, Notch signaling activity as well as declined Runx2 expression and calcium Salt nodules after treatment. Importantly, we found that Smad4 serves as a target of miR-126 while upregulation of the miRNA was accompanied with the decreased Smad4 protein expression without affecting the Smad4 mRNA level. In conclusion, miR-126 restrains osteogenic differentiation through inhibition of SMAD4 signaling, providing a novel insight into the mechanism.
