Most type 2 diabetic patients are obese who have increased number of visceral adipocytes. Those visceral adipocytes release several factors that enhance insulin resistance making diabetic treatment ineffective. It is known that significant percentages of visceral adipocytes are derived from mesenchymal stem cells and high glucose enhances adipogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). However, the effect of high glucose on adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow and gestational tissue-derived MSCs is still poorly characterized. This study aims to investigate the effects of high glucose on proliferation as well as adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs derived from bone marrow and several gestational tissues including chorion, placenta, and umbilical cord. We found that high glucose reduced proliferation but enhanced adipogenic differentiation of all MSCs examined. The expression levels of some adipogenic genes were also upregulated when MSCs were cultured in high glucose. Although high glucose transiently downregulated the expression levels of some osteogenic genes examined, its effect on the osteogenic differentiation levels of the MSCs is not clearly demonstrated. The knowledge gained from this study will increase our understanding about the effect of high glucose on adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and might lead to an improvement in the diabetic treatment in the future.

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.

Abstract Human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) are exploited for miscellaneous applications in bone tissue engineering where they are mainly used as seed cells. However, high glucose (HG) environment has negative impacts on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, thus reducing the bone formation in diabetic patients. In our former research works, we discovered that silicon (Si) ions extracted from silicate-based bioceramics are able to stimulate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs under normal culture condition. This study aimed to investigate if Si ions could prevent HG-induced inhibition of proliferation and osteogenesis of hBMSCs. We found that 2.59 ppm concentration of Si ions promoted the proliferation of hBMSCs under HG condition. The results from alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, Alizarin red S staining and quantitative real-time PCR analysis of osteogenic genes (BMP2, RUNX2, ALP, COL1 and OCN) demonstrated that the 15.92 ppm concentration of Si ions prevented HG-induced inhibition of the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Moreover, application of Si ions reduced the level of reactive oxygen species in HG-treated hBMSCs. In HG-treated hBMSCs following 15.92 ppm Si ions treatment, activation of BMP2/SMAD signaling pathway was detected, as indicated by the increased expression of BMP2 receptors and its downstream genes such as SMAD1, SMAD4 and SMAD5. Taken together, we provide evidence that the specific concentration of Si ions compensated HG-induced inhibition of proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs through antioxidant effect and modulation of BMP2/SMAD pathway. The results suggest that silicate-based bioceramics might be good scaffold biomaterials for bone engineering applications in diabetes patients.

Abstract Notch, expressed on hematopoietic progenitors plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) express both, Notch and its ligand Jagged and are known to support self renewal of hematopoietic progenitors via cell-cell contact and cytokine secretion. The Jagged/Notch signaling pathway has been implicated in the differentiation process of MSC, however it is not completely understood and current observations are contradictory. In order to analyze the effect of Notch signaling on human MSC differentiation we constructed lentiviral vectors that contained either the GFP-marker gene, hJagged1 IRES GFP, hNotch1 intracellular domain (NICD) IRES GFP or a gene fusion between dominant negative Mastermind1 (MAML1dn - inhibitor of Notch signaling) and the Cherry reporter gene. Primary hMSC that were obtained from bone marrow of 3 different donors were transduced with respective lentivirus vectors to greater than 98%. After exposure to adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation stimuli hMSC differentiation was quantified by Alizarin red or oil red staining, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and expression levels of adipogenic or osteogenic markers by Real-time PCR. Jagged1 transduced hMSC demonstrated enhanced calcium phosphate deposits and enhanced AP activity and expression levels in osteogenic differentiation medium, while adipogenic differentiation was strongly inhibited as quantified by oil red staining and low mRNA expression of genes upregulated during adipogenic differentiation (pprY, Fabp4). Similarly, overexpression of NICD induced strong and rapid osteogenic differentiation while inhibiting adipogenic differentiation and reducing cell viability. Moreover, NICD overexpression upregulates the expression of endogenous Jagged1 up to 5-fold. Inhibition of Notch signaling via overexpression of MAML1dn partially blocked the effect of hJagged1 and NICD in co-transduction experiments. In another approach MSC samples obtained from 20 donors with various osteogenic differentiation potential as measured by AP activity were analyzed for Notch1 and Jagged1 expression. While there was no correlation between AP activity and Notch1 levels we observed a significant positive correlation for AP activity and Jagged1 expression. In summary, our data strongly suggest that increased Jagged/Notch signaling enhances the osteogenic differentiation of hMSC while inhibiting their adipogenic fate.

Within the bone marrow microenvironment, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an essential precursor to bone marrow adipocytes and osteoblasts. The balance between this progenitor pool and mature cells (adipocytes and osteoblasts) is often skewed by disease and aging. In multiple myeloma (MM), a cancer of the plasma cell that predominantly grows within the bone marrow, as well as other cancers, MSCs, preadipocytes, and adipocytes have been shown to directly support tumor cell survival and proliferation. Increasing evidence supports the idea that MM-associated MSCs are distinct from healthy MSCs, and their gene expression profiles may be predictive of myeloma patient outcomes. Here we directly investigate how MM cells affect the differentiation capacity and gene expression profiles of preadipocytes and bone marrow MSCs. Our studies reveal that MM.1S cells cause a marked decrease in lipid accumulation in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. Also, MM.1S cells or MM.1S-conditioned media altered gene expression profiles of both 3T3-L1 and mouse bone marrow MSCs. 3T3-L1 cells exposed to MM.1S cells before adipogenic differentiation displayed gene expression changes leading to significantly altered pathways involved in steroid biosynthesis, the cell cycle, and metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis) after adipogenesis. MM.1S cells induced a marked increase in 3T3-L1 expression of MM-supportive genes including Il-6 and Cxcl12 (SDF1), which was confirmed in mouse MSCs by qRT-PCR, suggesting a forward-feedback mechanism. In vitro experiments revealed that indirect MM exposure prior to differentiation drives a senescent-like phenotype in differentiating MSCs, and this trend was confirmed in MM-associated MSCs compared to MSCs from normal donors. In direct co-culture, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) exposed to MM.1S, RPMI-8226, and OPM-2 prior to and during differentiation, exhibited different levels of lipid accumulation as well as secreted cytokines. Combined, our results suggest that MM cells can inhibit adipogenic differentiation while stimulating expression of the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and other pro-myeloma molecules. This study provides insight into a novel way in which MM cells manipulate their microenvironment by altering the expression of supportive cytokines and skewing the cellular diversity of the marrow.

Abstract Background: Periodontal disease, an oral disease characterized by loss of alveolar bone and progressive teeth loss, is the sixth major complication of diabetes. It is spreading worldwide as it is difficult to be cured. The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) plays an important role in regulating functional impairment associated with diabetes. However, it is unclear whether IGF-1R expression in periodontal tissue is associated with periodontal bone tissue destruction in diabetic patients. SUMO modification has been reported in various diseases and are associated with an increasing number of biological processes, but previous studies have not focused on diabetic periodontitis.Methods: Periodontal membrane stem cells (PDLSCs) were isolated and cultured from healthy human obstructed teeth after extraction or adolescent orthodontic subtractive extraction. PDLSCs were cultured with medical 5% sterile glucose solution formulated as osteogenic differentiation induction solution with different glucose concentrations. The effects of different glucose concentrations on the osteogenic differentiation ability of PDLSCs were investigated at the genetic and cellular levels using staining assay, Western Blot, RT-PCR, Co-IP and cytofluorescence.Results: We found that SLUG, RUNX2 expression was decreased in PDLSCs cultured in high glucose osteogenic induction solution compared with normal glucose osteogenic induction solution. In addition, the IGF-1R expression levels, osteogenic differentiation and sumoylation of IGF-1R in PDLSCs cultured in high glucose osteogenic induction solution were not consistent with those cultured in normal glucose osteogenic induction solution.Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that SUMO1 modification of IGF-1R in high glucose environment inhibited osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by binding to SLUG, a key factor leading to periodontal bone tissue loss in diabetic patients. Thus we can maximize the control of multiple downstream damage signaling factors and bring new hope for periodontal tissue regeneration in diabetic patients.

Abstract Background Diabetic patients are more vulnerable to skeletal complications. Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ has a positive regulatory effect on bone turnover under physiologic glucose concentration; however, the regulatory effect in diabetes mellitus has not been investigated yet. Herein, we explored the effects of PPARβ/δ agonist on the regeneration of diabetic bone defects and the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) under a pathological high-glucose condition. Methods We detected the effect of PPARβ/δ agonist on osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs in vitro and investigated the bone healing process in diabetic rats after PPARβ/δ agonist treatment in vivo. RNA sequencing was performed to detect the differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways. Western blot was performed to detect the autophagy-related protein level. Laser confocal microscope (LSCM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to observe the formation of autophagosomes. Results Our results demonstrated that the activation of PPARβ/δ can improve the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs in high-glucose condition and promote the bone regeneration of calvarial defects in diabetic rats, while the inhibition of PPARβ/δ alleviated the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Mechanistically, the activation of PPARβ/δ up-regulates AMPK phosphorylation, yielding mTOR suppression and resulting in enhanced autophagy activity, which further promotes the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs in high-glucose condition. The addition of AMPK inhibitor Compound C or autophagy inhibitor 3-MA inhibited the osteogenesis of rBMSCs in high-glucose condition, suggesting that PPARβ/δ agonist promotes osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through AMPK/mTOR-regulated autophagy. Conclusion In conclusion, our study demonstrates the potential role of PPARβ/δ as a molecular target for the treatment of impaired bone quality and delayed bone healing in diabetic patients for the first time.

Abstract Murine bone marrow cells synthesize bone proteins, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I, and osteocalcin, and form a mineralized extracellular matrix when cultured in the presence of beta- glycerophosphate and vitamin C. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) suppressed the synthesis of these bone proteins and mineralization without affecting cell proliferation. In addition, mRNA levels for the latter proteins were reduced in IL-10-treated cultures. This inhibitory effect was most outspoken when IL-10 was added before ALP activity peaked, eg, day 15 of culture. No significant effect was observed when IL-10 was added at later time points. This finding suggests that IL-10 acts at osteogenic differentiation stages that precede ALP expression but is ineffective on cells that progressed beyond this maturation stage. Likewise, IL-10 appeared to be unable to block both ALP activity and collagen synthesis in the preosteosteoblastic cell lines MN7 and MC3T3 that constitutively synthesize these proteins. Whereas IL-10 did not alter the number of fibroblast colony-forming cells of the marrow, it significantly reduced their osteogenic differentiation potential. In contrast to control cultures, IL-10-treated stroma was unable to either synthesize osteocalcin or to mineralize when subcultured over a 25-day period in the absence of IL-10. The inhibitory activity of IL-10 coincided with significant changes in stroma morphology. Whereas control cultures contained mainly flat adherent polygonal cells, significant numbers of rounded semiadherent to nonadherent cells were observed in the presence of IL-10. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy showed that, in contrast to control cultures, IL-10-treated stromas completely lacked a mineralized extracellular matrix. Collectively, these data suggest that IL-10 may have important regulatory effects on bone biology because of its capacity to downregulate early steps of osteogenic differentiation.
