Parathyroid Hormone Directs Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cell Fate.

ABSTRACT: Intermittent PTH administration builds bone mass and prevents fractures, but its mechanism of action is unclear. We genetically deleted the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R) in mesenchymal stem cells using Prx1Cre and found low bone formation, increased bone resorption, and high bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). Bone marrow adipocytes traced to Prx1 and expressed classic adipogenic markers and high receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (Rankl) expression. RANKL levels were also elevated in bone marrow supernatant and serum, but undetectable in other adipose depots. By cell sorting, Pref1+RANKL+ marrow progenitors were twice as great in mutant versus control marrow. Intermittent PTH administration to control mice reduced BMAT significantly. A similar finding was noted in male osteoporotic patients. Thus, marrow adipocytes exhibit osteogenic and adipogenic characteristics, are uniquely responsive to PTH, and secrete RANKL. These studies reveal an important mechanism for PTH's therapeutic action through its ability to direct mesenchymal cell fate.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly responsive to cues in the microenvironment (niche) that must be recapitulated ex vivo to study their authentic behavior. In this study, we hypothesized that native bone marrow (BM)- and adipose (AD)-derived extracellular matrices (ECM) were unique in their ability to control MSC behavior. To test this, we compared proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs when maintained on native decellularized ECM produced by BM versus AD stromal cells (i.e. BM- versus AD-ECM). We found that both ECMs contained similar types of collagens but differed in the relative abundance of each. Type VI collagen was the most abundant (≈60% of the total collagen present), while type I was the next most abundant at ≈30%. These two types of collagen were found in nearly equal proportions in both ECMs. In contrast, type XII collagen was almost exclusively found in AD-ECM, while types IV and V were only found in BM-ECM. Physically and mechanically, BM-ECM was rougher and stiffer, but less adhesive, than AD-ECM. During 14 days in culture, both ECMs supported BM-MSC proliferation better than tissue culture plastic (TCP), although MSC-related surface marker expression remained relatively high on all three culture surfaces. BM-MSCs cultured in osteogenic (OS) differentiation media on BM-ECM displayed a significant increase in calcium deposition in the matrix, indicative of osteogenesis, while BM-MSCs cultured on AD-ECM in the presence of adipogenic (AP) differentiation media showed a significant increase in Oil Red O staining, indicative of adipogenesis. Further, culture on BM-ECM significantly increased BM-MSC-responsiveness to rhBMP-2 (an osteogenic inducer), while culture on AD-ECM enhanced responsiveness to rosiglitazone (an adipogenic inducer). These findings support our hypothesis and indicate that BM- and AD-ECMs retain unique elements, characteristic of their tissue-specific microenvironment (niche), which promote retention of MSC differentiation state (i.e. "stemness") during expansion and direct cell response to lineage-specific inducers. This study provides a new paradigm for precisely controlling MSC fate to a desired cell lineage for tissue-specific cell-based therapies.

Project description:Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates bone remodeling and induces differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) by orchestrating activities of local factors such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). The activity and specificity of different BMP ligands are controlled by various extracellular antagonists that prevent binding of BMPs to their receptors. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) has been shown to interact with both the PTH and BMP extracellular signaling pathways by forming a complex with parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) and sharing common antagonists with BMPs. We hypothesized that PTH-enhanced differentiation of MSCs into the osteoblast lineage through enhancement of BMP signaling occurs by modifying the extracellular antagonist network via LRP6. In vitro studies using multiple cell lines, including Sca-1(+) CD45(-) CD11b(-) MSCs, showed that a single injection of PTH enhanced phosphorylation of Smad1 and could also antagonize the inhibitory effect of noggin. PTH treatment induced endocytosis of a PTH1R/LRP6 complex and resulted in enhancement of phosphorylation of Smad1 that was abrogated by deletion of PTH1R, β-arrestin, or chlorpromazine. Deletion of LRP6 alone led to enhancement of pSmad1 levels that could not be further increased with PTH treatment. Finally, knockdown of LRP6 increased the exposure of endogenous cell-surface BMP receptor type II (BMPRII) significantly in C2C12 cells, and PTH treatment significantly enhanced cell-surface binding of (125) I-BMP2 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, implying that LRP6 organizes an extracellular network of BMP antagonists that prevent access of BMPs to BMP receptors. In vivo studies in C57BL/6J mice and of transplanted green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled Sca-1(+) CD45(-) CD11b(-) MSCs into the bone marrow cavity of Rag2(-/-) immunodeficient mice showed that PTH enhanced phosphorylation of Smad1 and increased commitment of MSCs to osteoblast lineage, respectively. These data demonstrate that PTH enhancement of MSC differentiation to the osteoblast lineage occurs through a PTH- and LRP6-dependent pathway by endocytosis of the PTH1R/LRp6 complex, allowing enhancement of BMP signaling.
