OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The study aims to further investigate how cyclophilin D (CypD), the key mPTP opening regulator, affects BMSCs fate and to determine potential regulatory mechanisms involved in CypD regulation during osteogenesis. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We evaluated CypD mRNA expression in mouse BMSCs and in osteogenic-like (OL) cells during the course of OB differentiation. CypD protein level was also probed. Moreover, BMSCs had their mPTP activity recorded during osteoinduction. We further analyzed the effect of CypD genetic deletion on osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. For our in vivo model, we performed the ectopic bone formation assay to asses differences in ossicle formation when CypD KO BMSCs were transplanted compared to wild type littermate BMSCs. In our in vitro model, we transfected OL cells with either CypD gain of function or CypD loss of function vector and measured their osteogenic differentiation potential. Additionally, we treated BMSCs with CypD inhibitor and compare to non-treated BMSCs for mineralization level. To determine potential regulatory mechanisms involved in CypD regulation, we analyzed the CypD gene (Ppif) promoter for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites and found multiple Smad-binding elements within this promoter. Smads (Smad1, 5, 8) are TFs downstream from Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) signaling pathway that transmit cell differentiation signaling, and exert either activating or inhibitory effects on a variety of genes. We also transfect OL cells with Smad1 vector and analyzed for CypD mRNA levels. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: - Our data showed that CypD mRNA levels decreased in both primary cells and OL cells at day 7 and day 14 in osteogenic media. - Osteogenic induction also decreased mPTP activity. - In vivo ectopic bone formation assay showed increased ossicle fo DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our data suggest that downregulation of CypD increases OB differentiation due to improved OxPhos activity led by mPTP closure. Our results corroborate reports of CypD downregulation and mPTP closure during neuronal differentiation in developing rat brains as well as in cardiomyocyte differentiation in developing mouse hearts. Our studies also suggest a yet unknown mechanism linking differentiation signaling with mitochondrial function – BMP/Smad mediated downregulation of CypD transcription. As initially mentioned, in a previous study, our lab showed that CypD KO mice present higher mitochondrial function and osteogenicity in aged BMSCs and less osteoporosis burden. Taken together, these results suggest that CypD can be a potential target to prevent bone loss in aging.

Background. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is essential for osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors during endochondral bone formation. However, the critical role of Hh signaling during adult bone remodeling remains to be elucidated. Methods. A Smoothened (SMO) antagonist/Hedgehog inhibitor, BMS-833923, identified during a functional screening of a stem cell signaling small molecule library, was investigated for its effects on the osteoblast differentiation of human skeletal (mesenchymal) stem cells (hMSC). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin red staining were employed as markers for osteoblast differentiation and in vitro mineralization capacity, respectively. Global gene expression profiling was performed using the Agilent® microarray platform. Effects on in vivo ectopic bone formation were assessed by implanting hMSC mixed with hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate granules subcutaneously in 8-week-old female nude mice, and the amount of bone formed was assessed using quantitative histology. Results. BMS-833923, a SMO antagonist/Hedgehog inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblast differentiation of hMSCs reflected by decreased ALP activity, in vitro mineralization, and downregulation of osteoblast-related gene expression. Similarly, we observed decreased in vivo ectopic bone formation. Global gene expression profiling of BMS-833923-treated compared to vehicle-treated control cells, identified 348 upregulated and 540 downregulated genes with significant effects on multiple signaling pathways, including GPCR, endochondral ossification, RANK-RANKL, insulin, TNF alpha, IL6, and inflammatory response. Further bioinformatic analysis employing Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed significant enrichment in BMS-833923-treated cells for a number of functional categories and networks involved in connective and skeletal tissue development and disorders, e.g., NFκB and STAT signaling. Conclusions. We identified SMO/Hedgehog antagonist (BMS-833923) as a powerful inhibitor of osteoblastic differentiation of hMSC that may be useful as a therapeutic option for treating conditions associated with high heterotopic bone formation and mineralization.

Background/Aims: During bone repair and remodeling, osteogenesis is coupled with angiogenesis. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists are important modulators of BMP signaling and bone homeostasis. Several investigations have demonstrated that one ‘BMP antagonist’, BMP-binding endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator (BMPER), participates in the regulation of BMP signaling. In this study, we examined the role of BMPER in the osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling process. Methods: Human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used in this experiment. After overexpressing or silencing BMPER with lentiviruses or siRNA, hBMSCs were stimulated by BMP-2, and osteogenic differentiation activity was detected by alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. VEGF and endostatin release were assessed by ELISA. HUVEC migration was detected by the cell scratch test and transwell migration assay, and in vitro angiogenesis was determined by the tube formation assay. Bone formation was assessed using in vivo femoral monocortical defect and ectopic bone formation models. Results: BMP-2 upregulated BMPER expression. Overexpression of BMPER remarkably enhanced BMP-2-induced osteogenic differentiation, while suppression of BMPER effectively inhibited this process both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, overexpression of BMPER promoted BMP-2-induced VEGF expression in vitro and vascularization in the ectopic bone formation model. Conclusion: BMPER functions as a positive regulator of the osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling process in hBMSCs, suggesting a novel therapeutic role of BMPER in the regenerative capacity of bone repair.
