Chordin-like 1 (CHRDL1) functions in multiple tissues and organs. However, whether CHRDL1 affects bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group, CHRDL1 group and CHRDL1 siRNA group followed by analysis of CHRDL1 level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, expression of o Runx2, OC and PPARγ2 by Real time PCR, TGF-β secretion by ELIS, and Wnt5 protein expression by Western blot. CHRDL1 expression was significantly increased in CHRDL1 group, along with significantly promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OC, decreased PPARγ2 expression, increased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression compared to control group (P < 0.05). However, CHRDL1 siRNA transfection significantly decreased CHRDL1 expression, inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and Runx2 and OC expression, increased PPARγ2 expression, decreased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression. (P < 0.05). Down-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs promotes Wnt5/TGF-β signaling transduction, which in turn increases BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Up-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs inhibited the activation of Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, promoted BMSCs apoptosis, and inhibited BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

The α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (α-CGRP) regulates bone metabolism and has potential applications in enhancing bone remodeling in vivo. However, α-CGRP's role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were separated into control group, α-CGRP group and α-CGRP siRNA group, in which BMSCs were transfected with α-CGRP plasmid and α-CGRP siRNA respectively followed by analysis of α-CGRP level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, Smad1 and Smad7 level by Western blot and Runx2 by real time PCR. αCGRP transfection into BMSCs significantly up-regulated CGRP, which could promote cell proliferation, inhibit Caspase 3 activity, promote ALP activity, increase calcified nodules formation and upregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared to control (P < 0.05); transfection of αCGRP siRNA significantly down-regulated CGRP in BMSCs, inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase 3 activity, inhibited ALP activity, inhibited calcified nodules formation and downregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 (P < 0.05). αCGRP overexpression promotes the Smad/Runx2 signaling, which in turn promotes BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis. Decreased αCGRP level inhibits Smad/Runx2 signaling, promotes BMSCs apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation plays an important role in Osteoporosis (OP). LncRNA DGCR5 participates in OP development. However, LncRNA DGCR5's effect on BMSCs in osteoporosis rats and related mechanisms have not been elucidated. SD rats were divided into control group and OP group. Rat BMSCs were cultured and transfected with LncRNA DGCR5 siRNA followed by analysis of LncRNA DGCR5 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, of ERK/P38 signaling pathway protein expression by Western blot, ALP activity, and the osteogenic genes Runx2 and OC expression by Real time PCR. LncRNA DGCR51 expression was increased in BMSCs of OP rats. Compared with control group, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, Caspase 3 activity was increased, p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 were downregulated, ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression was decreased (P < 0.05). DGCR51 siRNA transfection into OP rat BMSCs significantly reduced DGCR51 expression, promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 expression, increased ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression compared to OP group (P < 0.05). LncRNA DGCR51 expression is increased in OP rat BMSCs. Down-regulation of LncRNA DGCR51 promoted the activation of ERK/P38 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of BMSCs and promoting proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSC in OP rats.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be multi-directionally differentiated and are widely used in tissue engineering. 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) can induce osteogenesis and is involved in osteogenic formation. However, the role of 25-hydroxycholesterol in BMSCs is unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group and 25-HC treatment (2 and 4 μM) group. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Caspase-3 and ALP activity was analyzed. Real time PCR was done to analyze Runx2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 expression. Red staining detects the calcified nodule formation. Wnt5 level was detected by western blot and TGF-β secretion was analyzed by ELISA. 25-HC treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and the expression of Runx2 and OPN, increased expression of FABP4 and PPARγ2, decreased formation of calcified nodules, secretion of TGF-β and reduced expression of Wnt5 compared to control group (P < 0.05), and the above changes were significant with the increase of the concentration of 25-HC (P < 0.05). 25-hydroxycholesterol regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs by regulating Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, inhibiting the differentiation of BMSCs into osteogenic direction and promoting its adipogenic differentiation.

Bmi1 is a polycomb histone that regulates stem cells, but the role and mechanism of Bmi1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation has not been elucidated. Rat BMSCs were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group and inflammation group (treated with LPS). Bmi1 and Bmi1 siRNA were transfected into inflammatory BMSCs, followed by analysis of Bmi1 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase3 activity, ALP activity, expression of Runx2, OP and PPARγ 2 by Real time PCR, as well as secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA. In inflammatory environment, Bmi1 expression was significantly decreased, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, along with increased Caspase3 activity, decreased ALP activity and the expression of Runx2 and OP, increased PPAR 2 expression and secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0 05). Transfection of Bmi1 siRNA into inflammatory BMSCs further significantly aggravated the above changes (P < 0 05). Bmi1 plasmid transfected into inflammatory BMSCs significantly promoted Bmi1 expression and cell proliferation, decreased Caspase3 activity, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OP, decreased PPAR γ2 expression and TNF-α and IL-1β secretion (P < 0 05). Bmi1 expression is reduced in BMSCs under inflammation. Up-regulation of Bmi1 can inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors, regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs, and promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have self-renewal potential with multi-directional differentiation. Progranulin prevents bone degradation, inhibits inflammation and protects bone tissue. However, the role of Progranulin in osteoporotic BMSCs is unclear. Osteoporosis (OP) rat models were prepared by ovarian removal and treated with different doses (5 and 10 μM) of Progranulin followed by analysis of BMP-2 level by ELISA, bone mineral density and ALP activity. OP rat BMSCs were isolated and assigned into control group and Progranulin group followed by analysis of Progranulin level by ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, RUNX2 and COL1A1 mRNA level by Real time PCR, and PI3K/Akt/PPARγ signaling protein level by Western blot. Progranulin treatment of OP rats dose-dependently increased BMP-2 expression, bone density and ALP activity. Compared with OP group, there were significant differences (P <0.05). Progranulin expression and BMSCs proliferation was increased, and RUNX2 and COL1A1 mRNA expression was elevated in Progranulin-treated OP group along with increased PI3K/Akt expression and decreased PPARγ protein expression. Compared with OP group, the difference was statistically significant, and the change was more significant with increasing concentration (P <0.05). Progranulin promotes BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and proliferation by regulating PI3K/Akt/PPARγ signaling pathway, which is beneficial for OP rats’ bone synthesis.

Abstract Background: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem (MSCs) cells are undifferentiated cells with the self-renewing ability and multi-lineage differentiation beneficial for regenerative medicine. Nano scaffolds are novel materials employed in bone repair and regeneration. Nisin is a prebiotic that can increase stem cells’ life span and proliferation. This study attempted to provide a proper strategy for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into the Osteocytes on a Poly‐L‐lactic‐acid scaffold (PLLA) after pretreating with probiotic Nisin. Methods: MSC osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring Calcium, Alkaline phosphatase, and quantitative tests such as Real-Time PCR, Acridine Orange, Alizarin Red, Von Kossa, and others. Results: The result of the MTT test showed that the optimal dose of Nisin probiotic for the MSCs’ preconditioning was 200 IU/mL on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days of culture. Real-time PCR data indicated that the expression rate of ALP, Osteonectin, Osteocalcin, and Collagen I have increased in the presence of Nisin, while the RUNX-2 gene expression has decreased. Furthermore, the results of Alizarin Red and Von Kossa tests, as well as Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed that the cell proliferation in the preconditioned samples with Nisin increased significantly. Conclusions: The study concluded that the cell proliferation and differentiation increased in samples pretreated with Nisin on the PLLA Nano scaffolds.

Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) can be used for bone regeneration in the specified condition. Osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs is controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs) and other factors. This study was aimed to identify the role and mechanism of miR-889 in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Methods Osteoporosis patients and normal control bone tissues were collected and used PCR techniques to identify the change of miR-889 and WNT7A. Moreover, the dynamic change of miR-889 and WNT7A during osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs was also measured. Bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the target genes and potential pathways of miR-889. Then, we constructed miR-889 mimic and inhibitor, ALP staining, ARS, osteoblastic-related protein, and Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway-related protein were also measured. WNT7A siRNA was also used to verify the function of miR-889. Results In the present study, we showed that miR-889 expression was upregulated in osteoporosis patients than healthy control. However, the miR-889 expression was downregulated during osteogenic differentiation. Bioinformatics analysis found that miR-889 targets 666 genes and mainly through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway. Administrated miR-889 mimic, the ALP activity, and calcium deposition were decreased than the control group, while miR-889 inhibitor shown the opposite trend. And miR-889 could bind the 3′UTR of WNT7A. We further used WNT7A siRNA to explore the function of miR-889, and the results revealed that co-cultured with miR-889 inhibitor and WNT7A siRNA was associated with a reduction of ALP activity and calcium deposition and osteoblastic-related proteins than miR-889 inhibitor alone. Conclusion Our results revealed that miR-889 plays a negative role in inducing osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway.

Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation into special cell types is affected by inflammation. Melatonin has various effects such as anti-oxidation and immune regulation. However, melatonin’s effect on BMSCs osteogenic differentiation during inflammation has not been elucidated. Rat BMSCs were isolated and assigned into control group, inflammation group (1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide, LPS) and melatonin group (100 μM melatonin was added to LPSstimulated BMSCs cells) followed by analysis of BMSCs proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 and ALP activity, expression of Runx2 and OP by Real time PCR, ROS content and SOD activity, TNF-α and IL-1β secretion by ELISA and mTOR/PI3K/AKT signaling protein level by Western blot. LPS action on BMSCs significantly inhibits BMSCs proliferation, promotes Caspase 3 activity, inhibits ALP activity, decreases Runx2 and OP expression and SOD activity, increases ROS content and TNF-α and IL-1β secretion as well as reduced mTOR and p-PI3K level (P <0.05). Melatonin addition significantly reversed the above changes (P <0.05). Melatonin can regulate oxidative stress, inhibit inflammation, and promote BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in inflammatory environment by activating mTOR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts. Osteoporosis is closely related to BMSCs osteogenic differentiation, and IL-6 is closely related to osteoporosis. This study assessed the effect of IL-6 on BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Rat BMSCs were cultured and osteogenic induction of BMSCs was performed in the presence of different concentrations (0, 10, 100 ng/ml) of IL-6 followed by analysis of IL-6 level by ELISA, ALP activity by the instructions of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection kit, IL-6, Runx2 and OCN mRNA level, and level of β-catenin by Western blot. Compared with 0 d, IL-6 protein content and IL-6 mRNA expression in cell culture medium was increased significantly on day 7 d, 14 d and 21 d. Compared with 0 ng/ml group, 10, 100 ng/ml IL-6 group showed significantly increased ALP activity and Runx2 and OCN mRNA level in a dose-response relationship. β-catenin was increased significantly in 100 ng/ml IL-6 group. No difference of ALP activity and the expression of osteogenic differentiationmarkers was found between blocking group and control group, which was significantly lower than those in experimental group. IL-6 can promote BMSCs osteogenic differentiation through Wnt signaling.
