P53 loss increases the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells.

ABSTRACT: The tumor suppressor, p53, plays a critical role in suppressing osteosarcoma. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, also known as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) have been suggested to give rise to osteosarcomas. However, the role of p53 in BMSCs has not been extensively explored. Here, we report that p53 regulates the lineage choice of mouse BMSCs (mBMSCs). Compared to mBMSCs with wild-type p53, mBMSCs deficient in p53 have enhanced osteogenic differentiation, but with similar adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. The role of p53 in inhibiting osteogenic lineage differentiation is mainly through the action of Runx2, a master transcription factor required for the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs. We find that p53 indirectly represses the expression of Runx2 by activating the microRNA-34 family, which suppresses the translation of Runx2. Since osteosarcoma may derive from BMSCs, we examined whether p53 has a role in the osteogenic differentiation of osteosarcoma cells and found that osteosarcoma cells with p53 deletion have higher levels of Runx2 and faster osteogenic differentiation than those with wild-type p53. A systems biology approach reveals that p53-deficient mBMSCs are more closely related to human osteosarcoma while mBMSCs with wild-type p53 are similar to normal human BMSCs. In summary, our results indicate that p53 activity can influence cell fate specification of mBMSCs, and provide molecular and cellular insights into the observation that p53 loss is associated with increased osteosarcoma incidence.

Project description:FK506 (also known as tacrolimus) is a potent immunosuppressive agent that is widely used in the treatment of graft-rejection and autoimmune diseases. FK506 has attracted additional attention owing to its potential role in osteogenic differentiation and bone formation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to serve important roles in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation; however, identification of specific miRNAs and their roles in regulating FK506‑induced osteogenic differentiation have been poorly examined. In the present study, osteodifferentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was induced with varying concentrations of FK506 (5‑5,000 nM) for 3, 7 and 14 days. Differentially expressed miRNAs were profiled using miRNA array, verified by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and subjected to gene ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Results from the present study identified a subset of miRNAs that were differentially expressed, of which five upregulated miRNAs (miR‑106b‑5p, miR‑101b‑3p, miR‑193a‑3p, miR‑485‑3p and miR‑142‑3p) and four downregulated miRNAs (miR‑27a‑3p, miR‑207, miR‑218a‑2‑3p and let‑7a‑5p) were confirmed by RT‑qPCR. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the predicted target genes of these miRNAs are involved in multiple biological processes and signaling pathways, including cell differentiation and the mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Verification of the miRNA‑target genes revealed that Smad5, Jagged 1 and MAPK9 were significantly upregulated, whereas Smad7, BMP and activin membrane‑bound inhibitor, and dual‑specificity phosphatase 2 were significantly downregulated during FK506‑induced osteodifferentiation. The present study may provide an experimental basis for further research on miRNA functions during FK506‑induced osteogenic differentiation in rat BMSCs.
