Caloric restriction and the adipokine leptin alter the SDF-1 signaling axis in bone marrow and in bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence suggests that the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is essential in regulating bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (BMSC) survival, and differentiation to either a pro-osteogenic or pro-adipogenic fate. This study investigates the effects of caloric restriction (CR) and leptin on the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in bone and BM tissues in the context of age-associated bone loss. For in vivo studies, we collected bone, BM cells and BM interstitial fluid from 12 and 20 month-old C57Bl6 mice fed ad-libitum (AL), and 20-month-old mice on long-term CR with, or without, intraperitoneal injection of leptin for 10 days (10?mg/kg). To mimic conditions of CR in vitro, 18 month murine BMSCs were treated with (1) control (Ctrl): normal proliferation medium, (2) nutrient restriction (NR): low glucose, low serum medium, or (3) NR?+?leptin: NR medium?+?100?ng/ml leptin for 6-48?h. In BMSCs both protein and mRNA expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 were increased by CR and CR?+?leptin. In contrast, the alternate SDF-1 receptor CXCR7 was decreased, suggesting a nutrient signaling mediated change in SDF-1 axis signaling in BMSCs. However, in bone SDF-1, CXCR4 and 7 gene expression increase with age and this is reversed with CR, while addition of leptin returns this to the "aged" level. Histologically bone formation was lower in the calorically restricted mice and BM adipogenesis increased, both effects were reversed with the 10 day leptin treatment. This suggests that in bone CR and leptin alter the nutrient signaling pathways in different ways to affect the local action of the osteogenic cytokine SDF-1. Studies focusing on the molecular interaction between nutrient signaling by CR, leptin and SDF-1 axis may help to address age-related musculoskeletal changes.

Project description:ObjectivesCaloric restriction (CR) has been shown to slow the aging processes in a number of preclinical studies and reduces expression of aging-associated biomarkers in human trials. We hypothesized that CR would lead to increased incidence of ketosis and that ketosis in CR individuals would alter the aging-protective effects of CR or biomarkers thereof.Design/setting/participantsWe analyzed data from the "Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE, Phase 2)" Public Use Database available at calerie.duke.edu. In this study, non-obese adults between the ages of 21 and 50 were randomized to 25% CR or control (ad lib) diet groups and extensively monitored for two years. Given our focus on the effect of caloric restriction on ketosis, individuals with detectible ketones during the baseline visit (pre-randomization) and those with missing data for ketone testing were excluded from the analysis, leaving 71 control and 117 CR participants.MeasurementsWe analyzed the incidence of ketosis as well as ketosis free survival in control and CR participants and assessed the effect of ketosis on a number of clinical lab values, functional assessments, and participant survey data related to aging biology.ResultsWe report that CR was associated with modestly increased incidence of ketosis (4.4% in CR vs 1.9% in control), though CR-associated changes in T3, VO2, SUMPT-WT (weight normalized composite strength score - peak torque), physical functioning, and general health did not appear to be altered by the presence or absence of ketosis. Additional observations of interest include: 1) striking patterns of biomarker expression changes (MCP-1, TNFα, TGF-β1, GH) in both the control and CR participants between the baseline visit and the 24-month post-randomization visit and 2) pro-growth/anti-inflammatory baseline (pre-randomization) biomarker expression profile in CR individuals that later test ketone positive relative to other CR individuals.ConclusionsCR modestly increases the incidence of ketosis in healthy adults, yet the increase in ketosis in CR patients did not significantly affect the aging-protective effects of CR. However, given the relatively small number of participants who were ketone positive, further investigation in larger study cohorts is still required for definitive conclusions.

Project description:Caloric Restriction in Leptin Deficiency Worsens Myocardial Steatosis: Failure to Upregulate PPAR gamma and Thermogenic Glyecrolipid/Fatty Acid Cycling Growing evidence supports an anti-lipotoxic role for leptin in preventing inappropriate peripheral tissue lipid deposition. Obese, leptin deficient ob/ob mice develop left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and myocardial steatosis with increased apoptosis and decreased longevity. Here we investigated the cardiac effects of caloric restriction in leptin deficiency. Echocardiography was performed on C57Bl/6 wild-type mice (WT) and 7-month-old ob/ob mice fed ad lib, leptin-repleted (LR-ob/ob), or calorie-restricted (CR-ob/ob) for four weeks. Ventricular tissue was examined by electron microscopy (EM), mitochondrial coupling assay, and microarray expression profiling. LR and CR-ob/ob mice showed decreased body weight, heart weight, and LV wall thickness compared to ad lib ob/ob mice. LV fractional shortening was decreased in ad lib ob/ob mice, but restored to WT levels in LR and CR groups. However, EM revealed severe cardiac steatosis in the CR-ob/ob group compared to only moderate steatosis in ad lib ob/ob . Despite marked cardiac steatosis, CR (like LR) restored mitochondrial coupling to WT levels. CR up-regulated genes associated with oxidative stress and cell death, changes suggestive of cardiac lipotoxicity. LR, but not CR was shown to induce core genes involved in glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling, a highly thermogenic pathway that can reduce intracellular lipid stores. LR, but not CR up-regulated and restored PGC1 and PPARto wild type levels; CR paradoxically further suppressed cardiac PPAR. Thus, leptin is essential in protecting the heart from lipotoxicity, and the inability to up-regulate the thermogenic glycerolipid/free fatty acid cycling pathway may impair the response of leptin deficient animals to the lipotoxic stress of calorie restriction. 6 month aged ob/ob mice were either leptin repleted with osmotic mini-pumps, calorie restricted to match the caloric intake of the leptin repleted mice, or fed ad lib for one month. 6-8 month C57Bl/6J mice were aged to serve as controls.

Project description:BackgroundSubchondral bone sclerosis is a major feature of osteoarthritis (OA), and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are presumed to play an important role in subchondral bone sclerosis. Accumulating evidence has shown that stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) plays a key role in bone metabolism-related diseases, but its role in OA pathogenesis remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of SDF-1α expressed on BMSCs in subchondral bone sclerosis in an OA model.MethodsIn the present study, C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following three groups: the sham control, destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), and AMD3100-treated DMM (DMM + AMD3100) groups. The mice were sacrificed after 2 or 8 weeks, and samples were collected for histological and immunohistochemical analyses. OA severity was assessed by performing hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and safranin O-fast green staining. SDF-1α expression in the OA model was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR), and immunohistochemistry. Micro-CT was used to observe changes in subchondral bone in the OA model. CD44, CD90, RUNX2, and OCN expression in subchondral bone were measured using q-PCR and immunohistochemistry. In vitro, BMSCs were transfected with a recombinant lentivirus expressing SDF-1α, an empty vector (EV), or siRNA-SDF-1α. Western blot analysis, q-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were used to confirm the successful transfection of BMSCs. The effect of SDF-1α on BMSC proliferation was evaluated by performing a CCK-8 assay and cell cycle analysis. The effect of SDF-1α on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was assessed by performing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining. Cyclin D1, RUNX2 and OCN expression were measured using Western blot analysis, q-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining.ResultsSDF-1α expression in the DMM-induced OA model increased. In the DMM + AMD3100 group, subchondral bone sclerosis was alleviated, OA was effectively relieved, and CD44, CD90, RUNX2, and OCN expression in subchondral bone was decreased. In vitro, high levels of SDF-1α promoted BMSC proliferation and increased osteogenic differentiation. Cyclin D1, RUNX2, and OCN expression increased.ConclusionThe results of this study reveal a new molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of OA. The targeted regulation of SDF-1α may be clinically effective in suppressing OA progression.
