Objective To investigate the effects of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma(PPARγ)gene silen-cing in human bone marrow stromal cells(HS-5)on hematopoietic function in bone marrow-suppressed mice,and to explore the potential mechanisms involved.Methods A bone marrow-suppressed mouse model was established by whole-body X-ray irradi-ation.Two hours after modeling,the mice were randomly divided into three groups:experimental group(intravenous injection of PPARγ RNAi-interfered HS-5 cells through the tail vein),control group(intravenous injection of PPARγ RNAi-uninterfered HS-5 cells through the tail vein),and blank group(intravenous injection of an equal amount of saline through the tail vein),with 5 mice in each group.Peripheral blood routine tests were performed before,24 hours after,1 week after,and 2 weeks after radio-therapy.In vitro osteogenic and adipogenic induction was performed in cells,and the cells were divided into experimental group(PPARγ RNAi-interfered HS-5 cells),control group(PPARγ-uninterfered HS-5 cells),and blank group(HS-5 cells without os-teogenic/adipogenic induction).Osteogenic/adipogenic staining was observed.The effects of PPARγ gene-silenced HS-5 cells on mouse bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs)were detected by CCK-8 proliferation assay.The groups included experi-mental group(PPARγ RNAi-interfered HS-5 cells were co-cultured with mouse HSCs after 3 days of osteogenic induction dif-ferentiation),positive control group(HS-5 cells treated with 50 μmol/L PPARγ inhibitor were co-cultured with mouse HSCs af-ter 3 days of osteogenic induction differentiation),negative control group(PPARγ RNAi-uninterfered HS-5 cells were co-cul-tured with mouse HSCs after 3 days of osteogenic induction differentiation),and blank group(Mouse HSCs were cultured alone without co-culturing with HS-5 cells).Results After radiotherapy,the hematological parameters of mice in each group showed a decreasing trend initially,and then increased.One week after radiotherapy,there were significant differences in platelet and white blood cell levels among the three groups(experimental group＞control group＞blank group,all P＜0.05).Two weeks after radiotherapy,there were significant differences in the percentage of adipocyte vacuole area among the three groups(experi-mental group＜control group＜blank group,all P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between hematological parameters and PPARγ expression levels(all P＜0.05),as well as a negative correlation between hematological parameters and the percentage of adipocyte vacuole area(all P＜0.05).After in vitro osteogenic/adipogenic induction differenti-ation,compared to the control group,the experimental group showed a significantly lower proportion of orange-red cells and a significantly higher proportion of red calcium nodules.After 3 days of osteogenic induction differentiation,the experimental group,positive control group,and negative control group of human bone marrow stromal cells were co-cultured with mouse HSCs,while HSCs were solely cultured in the blank group.The results showed that after 24 h,48 h and 72 h of co-culture,the A values of mouse HSC cells in the experimental group and positive control group were higher than those in the negative control group and blank group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Silencing of the PPARγ gene in HS-5 cells implanted into bone marrow-sup-pressed mice contributes to enhanced hematopoietic function in mice.After interference and silencing of the PPARγ gene,the os-teogenic differentiation ability of HS-5 cells is enhanced,while the adipogenic differentiation ability is weakened.Furthermore,osteogenic-induced HS-5 cells can further enhance the proliferation capacity of mouse HSCs.

Objective To investigate the targeted differentiation ability of mouse bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs)and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(AD-MSCs).Methods BM-MSCs and AD-MSCs were isolated and cultured from bone marrow of femur and white adipose tissue of groin of C57BL/6J mice respectively,and the two types of cells were induced by osteogenic,chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation medium respectively.Alizarin red,alcian blue and oil red O staining were used to detect the differentiated degree of osteogenic,chondrogenic and lipogenic differentiation.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to identify MSCs and detected expression levels of directed differentiation-related genes Runx2,Sp7(osteoblast),Sox9,Col2a1(chondroblast),Pparg and Cebpa(lipogenesis)to determine the directed differentiation ability of cells.Based on gene expression profiles of mouse and human BM-MSCs and AD-MSCs in GEO database GSE43804 and GSE122778,the differentially expressed genes and their enrichment signal pathways were analyzed.Results The cell morphology of BM-MSCs and AD-MSCs obtained by isolation and culture was different,and spindle-shaped morphology was more obvious in AD-MSCs.Both cells expressed CD29,CD44 and CD90,but did not express CD34 and CD45.AD-MSCs showed higher osteogenic and lipogenic differentiation than those of BM-MSCs after directed induction,while chondrogenic differentiation was lower in AD-MSCs than that of BM-MSCs(P＜0.05).After directional induction,expression levels of Runx2,Pparg and Cebpa mRNA were higher in AD-MSCs than those in BM-MSCs,and Sox9 mRNA expression levels were lower than those in BM-MSCs(P＜0.05).Highly expressed genes of AD-MSCs in mice and human were enriched in PPAR and WNT signaling pathways.Highly expressed genes of BM-MSCs were enriched in cartilage and bone developmental signaling pathways.Conclusion The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of mouse AD-MSCs is stronger than those of BM-MSCs,while the chondrogenic differentiation ability AD-MSCs is weaker than that of BM-MSCs.The activation status of PPAR,WNT,cartilages and skeletal system development signaling pathways plays an important regulatory role in determining the different directional differentiation potential of AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs.
摘要
ObjectiveProtein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) play pivotal roles in numerous cellular biological processes. However, the precise regulatory effects of PRMTs on the fate determination of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) remain elusive. Our previous studies have shed light on the regulatory role and molecular mechanism of PRMT5 in MSC osteogenic differentiation. This study aims to clarify the role and corresponding regulatory mechanism of PRMT7 during the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods(1) Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were cultured in a medium that induces adipogenesis. We used qRT-PCR and Western blot to monitor changes in PRMT7 expression during adipogenic differentiation. (2) We created a cell line with PRMT7 knocked down and assessed changes in PRMT7 expression and adipogenic capacity using Oil Red O staining, qRT-PCR and Western blot. (3) We implanted hBMSCs cell lines mixed with a collagen membrane subcutaneously into nude mice and performed Oil Red O staining to observe ectopic lipogenesis in vivo. (4) A cell line overexpressing PRMT7 was generated, and we examined changes in PRMT7 expression using qRT-PCR and Western blot. We also performed Oil Red O staining and quantitative analysis after inducing the cells in lipogenic medium. Additionally, we assessed changes in PPARγ expression. (5) We investigated changes in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) expression in both PRMT7 knockdown and overexpressing cell lines using qRT-PCR and Western blot, to understand PRMT7’s regulatory effect on IGF-1 expression. siIGF-1 was transfected into the PRMT7 knockdown cell line to inhibit IGF-1 expression, and knockdown efficiency was confirmed. Then, we induced cells from the control and knockdown groups transfected with siIGF-1 in lipogenic medium and performed Oil Red O staining and quantitative analysis. Finally, we assessed PPARγ expression to explore IGF-1’s involvement in PRMT7’s regulation of adipogenic differentiation in hBMSCs. Results(1) During the adipogenesis process of hBMSCs, the expression level of PRMT7 was significantly reduced (P<0.01). (2) The adipogenic differentiation ability of PRMT7 knockdown group was significantly stronger than that of control group (P<0.001). (3) The ectopic adipogenic differentiation ability of PRMT7 knockdown group was significantly stronger than that of control group. (4) The adipogenic differentiation ability of the PRMT7 overexpression group was significantly weaker than that of the control group (P<0.01). (5) The expression level of IGF-1 increased after PRMT7 knockdown (P<0.000 1). The expression level of IGF-1 decreased after PRMT7 overexpression (P<0.000 1), indicating that PRMT7 regulates the expression of IGF-1. After siIGF-1 transfection, the expression level of IGF-1 in all cell lines decreased significantly (P<0.001). The ability of adipogenic differentiation of knockdown group transfected with siIGF-1 was significantly reduced (P<0.01), indicating that IGF-1 affects the regulation of PRMT7 on adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. ConclusionIn this investigation, our findings elucidate the inhibitory role of PRMT7 in the adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, as demonstrated through both in vitro cell-level experiments and in vivo subcutaneous transplantation experiments conducted in nude mice. Mechanistic exploration revealed that PRMT7’s regulatory effect on the adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs operates via modulation of IGF-1 signaling pathway. These collective findings underscore PRMT7 as a potential therapeutic target for fatty metabolic disorders, thereby offering a novel avenue for leveraging PRMT7 and hBMSCs in the therapeutic landscape of relevant diseases.

OBJECTIVE@#To Investigate the effects of lithocholic acid (LCA) on the balance between osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).@*METHODS@#Twelve 10-week-old SPF C57BL/6J female mice were randomly divided into an experimental group (undergoing bilateral ovariectomy) and a control group (only removing the same volume of adipose tissue around the ovaries), with 6 mice in each group. The body mass was measured every week after operation. After 4 weeks post-surgery, the weight of mouse uterus was measured, femur specimens of the mice were taken for micro-CT scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction to analyze changes in bone mass. Tibia specimens were taken for HE staining to calculate the number and area of bone marrow adipocytes in the marrow cavity area. ELISA was used to detect the expression of bone turnover markers in the serum. Liver samples were subjected to real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to detect the expression of key genes related to bile acid metabolism, including cyp7a1, cyp7b1, cyp8b1, and cyp27a1. BMSCs were isolated by centrifugation from 2 C57BL/6J female mice (10-week-old). The third-generation cells were exposed to 0, 1, 10, and 100 μmol/L LCA, following which cell viability was evaluated using the cell counting kit 8 assay. Subsequently, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and oil red O staining were conducted after 7 days of osteogenic and adipogenic induction. RT-qPCR was employed to analyze the expressions of osteogenic-related genes, namely ALP, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteocalcin (OCN), as well as adipogenic-related genes including Adiponectin (Adipoq), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ).@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the body mass of the mice in the experimental group increased, the uterus atrophied, the bone mass decreased, the bone marrow fat expanded, and the bone metabolism showed a high bone turnover state. RT-qPCR showed that the expressions of cyp7a1, cyp8b1, and cyp27a1, which were related to the key enzymes of bile acid metabolism in the liver, decreased significantly ( P<0.05), while the expression of cyp7b1 had no significant difference ( P>0.05). Intervention with LCA at concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 μmol/L did not demonstrate any apparent toxic effects on BMSCs. Furthermore, LCA inhibited the expressions of osteogenic-related genes (ALP, Runx2, and OCN) in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in a reduction in ALP staining positive area. Concurrently, LCA promoted the expressions of adipogenic-related genes (Adipoq, FABP4, and PPARγ), and an increase in oil red O staining positive area.@*CONCLUSION@#After menopause, the metabolism of bile acids is altered, and secondary bile acid LCA interferes with the balance of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, thereby affecting bone remodelling.

OBJECTIVE@#To preliminarily investigate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MIR4697 host gene (MIR4697HG) in regulating the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).@*METHODS@#For adipogenic differentiation, BMSCs were induced in adipogenic media for 10 days. The mRNA expression levels of lncRNA MIR4697HG and adipogenic marker genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT/enhanced binding protein α (CEBP/α) and adiponectin (ADIPQ) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at different time points (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 days). The MIR4697HG stable knockdown-BMSC cell line was generated by infection of MIR4697HG shRNA-containing lentiviruses. To avoid off-target effect, two target sequences (shMIR4697HG-1, shMIR4697HG-2) were designed. And then cells were induced to differentiate in adipogenic medium. Oil red O staining, Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the effect of MIR4697HG knockdown on adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs.@*RESULTS@#The mRNA expression level of MIR4697HG was significantly increased during adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.01), and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs was evidenced by upregulated mRNA levels of specific adipogenesis-related genes including PPARγ, CEBP/α and ADIPQ. Observed by fluorescence microscopy, more than 90% transfected target cells expressed green fluorescent protein successfully after shMIR4697HG-1 group, shMIR4697HG-2 group and shNC group transfection for 72 h. And the transfection efficiency of MIR4697HG examined by qRT-PCR was above 60%. Then the BMSCs were treated with adipogenic media for 7 days and showed that the mRNA expression levels of adipogenesis-related genes including PPARγ, CEBP/α and ADIPQ were significantly decreased in the MIR4697HG knockdown group (P < 0.01), while the expression levels of PPARγ and CEBP/α proteins were decreased remarkably as well (P < 0.01). Consistently, MIR4697HG knockdown BMSCs formed less lipid droplets compared with the control BMSCs, which further demonstrated that MIR4697HG knockdown inhibited adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs.@*CONCLUSION@#lncRNA MIR4697HG played a crucial role in regulating the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and MIR4697HG knockdown significantly inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. These data may suggest that lncRNA MIR4697HG could serve as a therapeutic potential target for the aberrant adipogenic differentiation-associated disorders including osteoporosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism of Bushen Huatan prescription in alleviating postmenopausal osteoporosis （PMOP） by maintaining the balance of osteogenesis and adipogenic differentiation in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. MethodSeventy-five 6-month-old non-pregnant female SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group， model group， atorvastatin group， liviol group， and Bushen Huatan prescription group. Bilateral ovaries were removed in the four groups except the sham-operation group， while only the same mass of adipose tissue around the ovaries was removed in the sham-operation group. On the 5th week after surgery， drugs were consecutively administrated for 8 weeks. Rats in the Bushen Huatan prescription group received 9.4 mg·kg-1 of the prescription， rats in the atorvastatin group received 0.92 mg·kg-1 of atorvastatin， rats in the Liviol group received 0.23 mg·kg-1 of liviol， and rats in the model group and the sham-operation group received saline once a day. Micro-computed tomography （Micro CT） was used to detect bone mineral density （BMD） of rat tibia in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to detect the relative area of rat bone marrow adipose tissue （BMAT） in each group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2 （Runx2）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPARγ）， leptin （LPN）， and leptin receptor （OBR） in bone tissues. ResultAs compared with the sham operation group， the BMD of rats in the model group decreased （P<0.05）， while the relative area of BMAT increased （P<0.05）. In addition， the expression levels of LPN， OBR， and Runx2 decreased in the model group （P<0.05）， while the level of PPARγ increased （P<0.05）. As compared with the model group， the BMD of rats in the atorvastatin group， the Livial group， and the Bushen Huatan prescription group increased （P<0.05）， and the relative area of BMAT decreased （P<0.05）. The expression levels of LPN， OBR， and Runx2 in these groups increased （P<0.05）， while the expression level of PPARγ decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionBushen Huatan prescription plays the anti-osteoporosis role in the rat model of PMOP through up-regulating LPN and OBR in bone tissues and maintaining the balance of osteogenesis and adipogenic differentiation， thereby reducing postmenopausal bone loss and playing a role in the prevention and treatment of PMOP.

Circular RNA (circRNA), as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), plays an importantrole in the regulation of cell differentiation. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze porcinecircular RNA insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (circIGF1R), explore its expression patterns, construct a ceRNA regulatory network related to circIGF1R, and explore the regulation of its ectopicexpression on adipogenic differentiation of mouse mesenchymal stem cells (C3H10T1 / 2) effect. Forwardand reverse PCR, Sanger sequencing, RNase R enzyme digestion tests, and qRT-PCR were used toverify that circIGF1R is a circRNA formed by the second exon of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1R). It was expressed in all tissues of pigs, and its expression level increased with age in adiposetissues. miRDB, TargetScan and miRWalk online software were used to predict circIGF1R target genes. RNAhybrid software was used for binding site prediction. DAVID bioinformatics functional analysissoftware was used to perform GO and KEGG enrichment analysis on candidate target genes. Cytoscapesoftware was used to construct the ceRNA network diagram. Based on the gene expression correlation andpredicted target relationship, the GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was drawn and the ceRNA networkwas constructed; the dual luciferase reporter gene test was used, and we found that circIGF1R andFABP4 can bind to ssc (Sus scrofa chromosome) -miR-133a-5p. The circIGF1R overexpression vectorwas successfully constructed and expressed in C3H10T1/ 2 cells. It was found that after overexpression ofcircIGF1R, the expression of key adipogenic regulatory factors CEBPa, CEBPß, FABP4 and PPAR? increased significantly(P<0. 01), and the number of lipid droplets increased significantly. The results ofthis study show that circIGF1R exists in pig adipose tissues, and may positively regulate the adipogenicdifferentiation of C3H10T1/ 2 cells through the ceRNA mechanism, which lays a theoretical foundation forfurther research on circIGF1R regulating the adipogenic differentiation of pig precursor intramuscularadipocytes.
摘要
The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory mechanism of Type Ⅲ domain-containing protein5 (FNDC5) on adipogenic differentiation in C3H10T1/2 cells. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of FNDC5 during adipogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells. The lentivirus-coated overexpression and interference vector of FNDC5 were constructed and transfected into C3H10T1/2 cells. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of the key genes of adipogenic differentiation. Oil red O staining was used to detect the formation of lipid droplets; Western blot was used to detect the content of ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 phosphorylated protein (P-ERK1/2). After 8 days of adipogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells, the expression of Fndc5 increased significantly. After overexpression of FNDC5 in C3H10T1/2 cells, the expression of key genes for adipogenic differentiation, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-酌 (PPAR酌), CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBP茁), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) and CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), all decreased significantly. The content of lipid droplets and P-ERK1/2 also decreased significantly. On the contrary, after interference of FNDC5 in C3H10T1/2 cells, the expression of key genes for adipogenic differentiation, including PPARγ, C/EBP茁, FABP4 and C/EBPα were significantly increased. Meanwhile, the content of lipid droplets and P-ERK1/2 also increased significantly. This study found that FNDC5 can inhibit the adipogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2, which can provide reference data for the mechanism of FNDC5 in regulating fat deposition.

摘要
BACKGROUND: The method of promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under high-glucose conditions to inhibit adipogenic differentiation can provide prevention and treatment ideas for the treatment of bone metabolic diseases such as diabetic osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of uncarboxylated osteocalcin on adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under high-glucose conditions so as to reveal the action mechanism of uncarboxylated osteocalcin on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS: Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured by whole bone marrow culture and adherent purification. Cells were treated with uncarboxylated osteocalcin at different concentrations (0, 1, 3, 10, and 30 μg/L). Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 to determine the best mass concentration. Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were incubated with adipogenic (or osteogenic) differentiation medium, and assigned to four groups: control group, high glucose group, uncarboxylated osteocalci n group, and high glucose + uncarboxylated osteocalcin group. Corresponding groups received the addition of 25.5 mmol/L exogenous glucose and 3 μg/L uncarboxylated osteocalcin. Lipid droplets and calcium nodules were detected by oil red and alizarin red staining. Quantitati ve reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative expression levels of adipogenic marker genes (Fabp4, PPARγ, Adipsin and FAS) and osteogenic differentiation marker genes (Runx2, Osx, alkaline phosphatase, and type I collagen). Kits were used to detect alkaline phosphatase activity and type I collagen levels. The relative expression levels of P-Erk and P-AMPKα were detected using signal pathway specific inhibitors (PD98059 and BML) and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Uncarboxylated osteocalcin 3 μg/L promoted cell proliferation (P < 0.01). (2) Uncarboxylated osteocalcin promoted the formation of calcium nodules (P < 0.01) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under high-glucose conditions but inhibited the formation of lipid droplets (P < 0.05), down-regulating the relative expression levels of adipogenic marker genes (PFabp4 < 0.01; PPPARγ < 0.05; PAdipsin < 0.01; PFAS < 0.01), but increasing the relative expression levels of osteogenic differentiation marker genes (PRunx2 < 0.05; POsx < 0.05; PALP < 0.01; PCOLI < 0.01). Uncarboxylated osteocalcin increased alkaline phosphatase activity (P < 0.01) and type I collagen level (P < 0.05). (3) Uncarboxylated osteocalcin up-regulated the expression levels of P-Erk (P < 0.01) and P-AMPKα (P < 0.01) under high-glucose conditions. (4) These results indicate that uncarboxylated osteocalcin promoted osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under high-glucose conditions through Erk/AMPKα signaling pathway and inhibited adipogenic differentiation.
摘要
Objective: To study the effects of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) irradiated by X-ray. Methods: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells irradiated by 2 Gy X-ray were intervened with 50 μg/mL of APS. The number and size of lipid droplets of stem cells were observed by oil red O staining and the expressions of CEBPα and PPAR-γ were detected by Western blot after induction with special medium. Results: The number of adipocytes differentiated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells decreased, and the area of lipid droplets in adipocytes decreased significantly after irradiation (P<0.05). The area of lipid droplets in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells treated with APS in advance increased compared with that in radiation alone (P<0.05). Similarly, the expressions of PPAR-γ and recombinant human CCAAT enhancer binding protein (CEBPα ) decreased after X-ray irradiation, while the expressions of PPAR-γ and CEBPα increased after the intervention of APS (P<0.05). Conclusion: X-ray can damage the directional adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and APS has a protective effect on the adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after X-ray irradiation.
摘要
Aim To study the relationship between WntlOb and bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP9)-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Methods PCR, Western blot and histochemical staining were used to detect the effect of BMP9 on WntlOb and the effect of WntlOb on BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation in MSCs. Meanwhile, real-time PCR, Western blot, oil red O staining, and flow cytometry assay were used to analyze the potential mechanism of Wnt10b affecting the function of BMP9. Results Wnt10b could be detected in C3H10T1/2, C2C12, MEFs and MC3T3-E1 cells. BMP9 up-regulated the expression of WntlOb in C3H10T1/2 cells. WntlOb enhanced the capability of BMP9 to increase the level of OCN and mineralization in C3H10T1/2 cells, and silencing Wnt10b attenuated these effects of BMP9. Wnt10b exhibited no substantial effect on cell cycle affected by BMP9, but it enhanced the effect of BMP9 on inducing phosphorylation of Smadl/5/8. While silencing Wnt10b attenuated this effect of BMP9. In addition, Wnt10b inhibited BMP9-induced adipogenic differentiation in C3H10T1/2 cells, and silencing Wnt10b promoted this effect of BMP9. Conclusions Wnt10b can promote BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, which may be mediated through enhancing BMP/Smad signaling and reducing adipogenic differentiation.
摘要
Osteoporosis (OP), a systemic bone metabolism disease, mainly manifested in the decrease of bone mass, the increase of bone fragility and the microstructure degeneration of the bone. Along with the in-depth research of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, the imbalance differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) (Osteogenic differentiation decrease and adipogenic differentiation increase) is the main reason that causes osteoporosis. In this paper, we summarize the signal pathways of osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Better understand these signal pathways is conducive to elucidate and treat osteoporosis.

PURPOSE: Adipogenic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) is critical to many disease-related disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. Studies have demonstrated that miRNA-138 (miR-138) is closely involved in adipogenesis. However, the mechanisms affected by miR-138 remain unclear. This work aimed to investigate interactions between miR-138 and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a key lipogenic enzyme, in AMSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human AMSCs (hAMSCs) isolated from human abdomen tissue were subjected to adipogenic differentiation medium. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assay were applied to measure the expressions of miR-138, LPL, and the two adipogenic transcription factors cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). The relationship between miR-138 and LPL was predicted utilizing the miRTarBase database and validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: Showing increases in C/EBPα and PPARγ expression levels, hAMSCs were induced into adipogenic differentiation. During adipogenesis of hAMSCs, miR-138 expression was significantly downregulated. Overexpression of miR-138 by transfection inhibited hAMSCs adipogenic differentiation in vitro. Mechanically, LPL was a target of miR-138. LPL expression was upregulated during adipogenesis of hAMSCs, and this upregulation was reversed by miR-138 overexpression. Functionally, silencing of LPL by transfection exerted similar inhibition of the expressions of C/EBPα and PPARγ. Meanwhile, LPL ectopic expression was able to partly abolish the suppressive effect of miR-138 overexpression on adipogenic differentiation of hAMSCs. CONCLUSION: Upregulation of miR-138 inhibits adipogenic differentiation of hAMSCs by directly downregulating LPL.

Objective: The study was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism of quercitrin on osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Methods: rBMSCs were harvested from SD rats, and determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, quantification of mineralization by Alizarin Red S staining, and the mRNA expression of osteogenic differentiation markers (Runx2, BMP-2, and OSX) by RT-PCR after rBMSCs stimulated by osteogenic induction with (0.1–10) µg/mL of quercitrin, quantification of Lipid droplet by Oil Red O staining and the mRNA expression of adipogenic differentiation marker (PPARγ C/EBPα and aP2) by RT-PCR after rBMSCs stimulated by adipogenic induction with (0.1-10) µg/mL of quercitrin. Results: Quercitrin can up-regulate the mRNA expression of osteogenic differentiation markers (Runx2, BMP-2, and OSX) and increase ALP activity and mineralization after osteogenic induction, on the other hand quercitrin can suppress the mRNA expression of adipogenic differentiation markers (PPARγ C/EBPα and aP2) and decrease lipid droplet after adipogenic induction. Conclusion: This study suggested that quercitrin not only stimulated osteogenic differentiation but also inhibited adipogenic differentiation of rBMSCs, which was associated with the up-regulation of Runx2, BMP-2, and OSX mRNA expression and the down-regulation of PPARγ C/EBPα and aP2 mRNA expression.

Chalcones is a flavonoid wildly presented in many herbs. It has the effect to inhibit cells adipogenic differentiation. In order to study the effect of pinostrobin chalcone extracted and isolated from leaves of hickoryes on the adipogenic differentiation of murine embryonic mesenchymal stem cell (C3H10T1/2), MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)- 2H-tetrazolium] method was used to detect the cell proliferation; adipogenic differentiation was characterized by oil red O staining and isopropanol extraction; the triglyceride content was detected by GAP-PAP enzyme method; and the C3H10T1/2 cell differentiation into adipocytes was also examined by the mRNA and protein expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα and FABP4 by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Results indicated that pinostrobin chalcone almost had no effect on cell proliferation activity when the concentration was less than or equal to 50 μmol•L⁻¹; the oil red O staining, isopropanol extraction and GAP-PAP enzyme method showed that pinostrobin chalcone significantly decreased the C3H10T1/2 adipogenic differentiation and triglyceride content in the cytoplasm of adipocytes; the RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that pinostrobin chalcone can down-regulate the mRNA and protein levels of FABP4, PPARγ and C/EBPα in C3H10T1/2 cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The experiment results suggest that pinostrobin chalcone can inhibit C3H10T1/2 adipogenic differentiation.

To study the effect of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured in hypoxic environment. The optimal APS concentration, which could promote the proliferation of BMSCs, was screened by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method. The concentration was used to intervene in BMSCs-induced by adipogenic differentiation fluid growing in different oxygen concentrations (3%, 6%, 10% and 20%). The formation of lipid droplets in the BMSCs-intervened was observed by oil red O staining under the optical microscope. The mRNA and protein levels of the lipid relating genes peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR-γ₂) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that, comparing with the control group, 40 μg/mL APS could significantly promote the proliferation of BMSCs under low oxygen concentration. A large amount of lipid droplets existed in BMSCs growing in the adipogenic inducing fluid containing 40 μg/mL APS and the hypoxic environment, and the protein and mRNA levels of PPAR-γ₂ and LPL also raised. It was worth noting that the phenomenon was more significant in 10% oxygen concentration, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). 40 μg/mL APS had effect on promoting the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs cultured in hypoxic environment, and the effect was related to the concentration of oxygen of BMSCs-cultured.
