Prostaglandin E2 inhibits matrix mineralization by human bone marrow stromal cell-derived osteoblasts via Epac-dependent cAMP signaling.

ABSTRACT: The osteoinductive properties of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and its signaling pathways have led to suggestions that it may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for bone loss. However, the prominence of PGE2 as an inducer of bone formation is attributed primarily to findings from studies using rodent models. In the current study, we investigated the effects of PGE2 on human bone marrow stromal cell (hBMSC) lineage commitment and determined its mode of action. We demonstrated that PGE2 treatment of hBMSCs significantly altered the expression profile of several genes associated with osteoblast differentiation (RUNX2 and ALP) and maturation (BGLAP and MGP). This was attributed to the activation of specific PGE2 receptors, and was associated with increases in cAMP production and sustained AKT phosphorylation. Pharmacological inhibition of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac), but not protein kinase A (PKA), recovered the mineralization functions of hBMSC-derived osteoblasts treated with PGE2 and restored AKT phosphorylation, along with the expression levels of RUNX2, ALP, BGLAP and MGP. Our findings therefore provide insights into how PGE2 influences hBMSC-mediated matrix mineralization, and should be taken into account when evaluating the role of PGE2 in human bone metabolism.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are master regulators of gene expression and have recently emerged as potential innovative therapeutic targets. The deregulation of lncRNA expression patterns has been associated with age-related and noncommunicable diseases in the bone tissue, including osteoporosis and tumors. However, the specific role of lncRNAs in physiological or pathological conditions in the bone tissue still needs to be further clarified, for their exploitation as therapeutic tools. In the present study, we evaluate the potential of the lncRNA CASC2 as a regulator of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. Results show that CASC2 expression is decreased during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal cells (hMSCs). CASC2 knockdown, using small interfering RNA against CASC2 (siCASC2), increases the expression of the late osteogenic marker Bone Sialoprotein (BSP), but does not impact ALP staining level nor the expression of early osteogenic transcripts, including RUNX2 and OPG. Although siCASC2 does not impact hMSC proliferation nor apoptosis, it promotes the mineralization of hMSC cultured under osteogenic-inducing conditions, as shown by the increase of calcium deposits. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis revealed that 89 proteins are regulated by CASC2 at late osteogenic stages, including proteins associated with bone diseases or anthropometric and musculoskeletal traits. Specifically, the Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) is highly enhanced by CASC2 knockdown at late stages of osteogenic differentiation, at both transcriptional and protein level. On the other hand, inhibition of COMP impairs osteoblasts mineralization as well as the expression of BSP. The results indicate that lncRNA CASC2 regulates late osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in hMSC via COMP and BSP. In conclusion, this study suggests that targeting lncRNA CASC2 could be a potential approach for modulating bone mineralization.
