Project description:Abnormal osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is implicated in the pathogenesis of Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS). However, the biological roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs are unknown. We used LncRNA microarray analyses of bone marrow (BM) MSCs from non-AIS patients and AIS patients and identified significant differentially expressed lncRNAs in AIS BM-MSCs.

Project description:<p>Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric spinal deformity. Although the Bracing in AIS Trial (BrAIST) recently demonstrated the effectiveness of bracing for preventing scoliosis progression in some patients, more than 20,000 children undergo major spinal fusion surgery at an annual cost of $3 billion. Spinal fusion surgery is a major operation with considerable risks and complications. Accurate methods of predicting curve progression are needed to develop personalized prevention strategies for those at high risk and to eliminate screening and treatment of those at low risk of progression. Previously identified risk factors for scoliosis curve progression include sex, age of onset, curve type, and presence of an underlying disorder. However, currently available algorithms for predicting AIS curve progression are inaccurate, possibly because the role of genetic factors has been largely unexplored. Because there is little a priori knowledge of the genetic variants involved in AIS pathology, an unbiased genome-wide approach is likely to provide the best opportunity to comprehensively identify disease-associated genes. This is a multicenter exome sequencing study of extreme cases with severe scoliosis. </p>

Project description:The vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates cell proliferation and differentiation including epidermal keratinocytes by modulating transcription of its target genes. We are investigating the role of VDR in epidermal stem cells and their progenies in the regeneration process of epidermis and hair in the skin. VDR null mice are utilized in which VDR is specifically deleted in keratin 14 (K14) expressing keratinocytes by Cre-lox strategy. The impact of VDR deletion was evaluated by comparison of VDR null mice with no cre littermate control mice. The VDR was abundantly expressed in potential epidermal stem cells including basal cells in interfollicular epidermis (IFE), and in CD34 expressing bulge keratinocytes in hair follicles. Gene expression profiles and subsequent pathway analysis of stem cell enriched keratinocyte populations revealed that the VDR deletion significantly suppressed β-catenin signaling as well as VDR signaling. The role of VDR in epidermal stem cells was studied during hair follicle cycling and wound healing processes. The epidermal stem cells were not appropriately stimulated by hair depilation, and did not reinitiate anagen in the hair follicles resulting in a failure of hair regrowth. In addition, the stem cells were not fully activated after full thickness wounds were generated in VDR null skin under a low calcium diet to suppress compensation pathways. Cell proliferation was not fully induced in potential stem cells located in both IFE and hair follicles near the wounding edges, and re-epithelialization rate was delayed in VDR null skin. Gene expression profiling of the wounded skin (3 days after injury) indicated that β-catenin signaling was not fully induced in VDR null skin comparable to that observed in β-catenin null mice. The β-catenin target genes including Axin2 and cell cycle regulators involved in epidermal stem cell function were not induced in the edges of the wound of VDR null skin. These results demonstrated that VDR plays an essential role in hair cycling and wound healing processes through regulation of β-catenin signaling in epidermal stem cells and their progenies. n=3 CON and KO (each sample contain RNA isolated from wounded or nonwounded skins excised from 3 mice)

Project description:BACKGROUND: VDR may be considered as a candidate gene potentially related to idiopathic scoliosis susceptibility and natural history. Transcriptional profile of VDR mRNA isoforms might be changed in the structural tissues of the scoliotic spine and potentially influence the expression of VDR responsive genes. The purpose of the study was to determine differences in mRNA abundance of VDR isoforms in bone, cartilage and paravertebral muscles between tissues from curve concavity and convexity, between JIS and AIS and to identify VDR responsive genes differentiating juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in paravertebral muscles. METHODS: In a group of 29 patients with JIS and AIS, specimens of bone, cartilage, paravertebral muscles were harvested at the both sides of the curve apex together with peripheral blood samples. Extracted total RNA served as a matrix for VDRs and VDRl mRNA quantification by QRT PCR. Subsequent microarray analysis of paravertebral muscular tissue samples was performed with HG U133A chips (Affymetrix). Quantitative data were compared by a nonparametric Mann Whitney U test. Microarray results were analyzed with GeneSpring 11GX application. Matrix plot of normalized log-intensities visualized the degree of differentiation between muscular tissue transcriptomes of JIS and AIS group. Fold Change Analysis with cutoff of Fold Change ?2 identified differentially expressed VDR responsive genes in paravertebral muscles of JIS and AIS. RESULTS: No significant differences in transcript abundance of VDR isoforms between tissues of the curve concavity and convexity were found. Statistically significant difference between JIS and AIS group in mRNA abundance of VDRl isoform was found in paravertebral muscles of curve concavity. Higher degree of muscular transcriptome differentiation between curve concavity and convexity was visualized in JIS group. In paravertebral muscles Tob2 and MED13 were selected as genes differentially expressed in JIS and AIS group. CONCLUSIONS: In Idiopathic Scolioses transcriptional activity and alternative splicing of VDR mRNA in osseous, cartilaginous, and paravertebral muscular tissues are tissue specific and equal on both sides of the curve. The number of mRNA copies of VDRl izoform in concave paravertebral muscles might be one of the factors differentiating JIS and AIS. In paravertebral muscles Tob2 and Med13 genes differentiate Adolescent and Juvenile type of Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Project description:Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is estimated to affect ~40% of the world’s population. Notably, VitD deficiency has been associated with impaired muscle maintenance and insulin resistance. VitD exerts its actions through the ubiquitous Vitamin D-receptor (VDR), the expression of which was recently confirmed in fully-differentiated muscle. To seek a possible autonomous role of the VDR in skeletal muscle, we first generated stable VDR-knockdown cells, which exhibited impaired myogenesis (i.e. cell-cycling, differentiation and myotube formation). In vivo VDR-knockdown in rat hind-limbs elicited myofibre atrophy and triggered autophagy pathways. In contrast, in vivo VDR-overexpression yielded myofibre hypertrophy; enhancing translational efficiency (e.g. mTOR-signaling), ribosomal biogenesis and satellite cell content. Neither VDR-knockdown nor overexpression impacted muscle glucose uptake. Crucially, induction of VDR mRNA correlated with muscle hypertrophy in humans following long-term resistance exercise training, but not aspects of insulin sensitivity. The VDR autonomously regulates muscle mass, acting reciprocally to limit atrophy and promote hypertrophy.
