A calcium-induced signaling cascade leading to osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells

ABSTRACT: The response of osteoprogenitors to calcium (Ca2+) is of primary interest for both normal bone homeostasis and the clinical field of bone regeneration. The latter makes use of calcium phosphate-based bone void fillers to heal bone defects, but it is currently not known how Ca2+ released from these ceramic materials influences cells in situ. Here, we have created an in vitro environment with high extracellular Ca2+ concentration and investigated the response of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) to it. Ca2+ enhanced proliferation and morphological changes in hMSCs. Moreover, the expression of osteogenic genes is highly increased. A 3-fold up-regulation of BMP-2 is observed after only 6 h and pharmaceutical interference with a number of proteins involved in Ca2+ sensing showed that not the calcium sensing receptor, but rather type L voltage-gated calcium channels are involved in mediating the signaling pathway between extracellular Ca2+ and BMP-2 expression. MEK1/2 activity is essential for the effect of Ca2+ and using microarray analysis, we have identified c-Fos as an early Ca2+ response gene. We have demonstrated that hMSC osteogenesis can be induced via extracellular Ca2+, a simple and economic way of priming hMSCs for bone tissue engineering applications.

Project description:Nucleotides triphosphates are extracellular messengers binding to specific plasma membrane receptors (P2Rs) that modulate responses as different as proliferation, differentiation, migration or cell death on several cell types including hematopoietic stem cells. Little and controversial information is available on the role of extracellular nucleotides in human mesenchimal stem cells (hMSCs). In this study, we assessed whether P2Rs are expressed and functional in bone marrow-derived hMSCs. Our results demonstrated, at the mRNA and protein level, the expression of all P2X and P2Y receptor subtypes identified so far. P2R activation by their natural ligands adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP) induced in hMSCs, intracellular Ca2+ concentration changes, plasma membrane depolarization and permeabilization. hMSCs were resistant to the cytotoxic effects of high dose ATP despite the expression of permeabilizing P2Rs as demonstrated by the lack of morphological changes, significant release of intracellular markers of cell death or modification of the mitochondrial network. Gene expression profiling revealed the down-regulation of cell proliferation genes whereas genes involved in cell migration and cytokine production were strongly up-regulated by ATP. Functional studies confirmed the inhibitory activity of ATP on proliferation of hMSCs and clonogenic progenitors. Moreover, ATP exerted a chemotactic effect on hMSCs and increased their migration in response to the chemokine CXCL12. Finally, whereas ATP did not affect T-cell inhibitory activity of hMSCs, the nucleotide increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by hMSCs. Thus, our data show that purinergic signaling modulates hMSC functions and point to a role for extracellular nucleotides on hMSCs biology. hMSCs from 6 healthy donors were seeded at a density of 2.5 x 103 cells/cm2 for 24 hours with or without 1mM ATP. We then assessed the transcriptome profile of ATPM-bM-^@M-^Streated and untreated cells using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2 GeneChip array.
