KR-12-a5 Reverses Adverse Effects of Lipopolysaccharides on HBMSC Osteogenic Differentiation by Influencing BMP/Smad and P38 MAPK Signaling Pathways.

ABSTRACT: KR-12-a5 is an analogue of the antimicrobial peptide KR-12. Both of these two agents can play key effects in the treatment of infections such as osteomyelitis. Our previous work demonstrated that the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) can be enhanced by KR-12. The present study investigated if KR-12-a5 could reverse the adverse effects of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on HBMSC osteogenesis and the involved molecular mechanisms. We observed the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of HBMSCs in the presence of KR-12-a5 by a cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry. The osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs was studied by alkaline phosphatase, Alizarin Red staining, and quantitative assays. Osteogenic differentiation marker levels were detected using real-time quantitative PCR analysis, which demonstrated that KR-12-a5 treatment reversed the inhibition of osteogenesis. Western blot analysis indicated that LPS-activated P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling was inhibited and BMP/Smad pathway was reactivated after KR-12-a5 treatment under induced osteogenic conditions. Furthermore, flow cytometry results demonstrated that KR-12-a5 relieved LPS-induced oxidative stress. Combining the LPS-treated mouse model results, we proved that KR-12-a5 reversed the adverse effects of LPS on HBMSC osteogenic differentiation by influencing the BMP/Smad and P38 MAPK signaling pathways.

Project description:BackgroundAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis. Upregulation of microRNA (miR)-92b-3p is associated with enhanced osteoblastic differentiation. The current study sought to investigate the functional mechanism of miR-92b-3p in osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts.MethodsFirst, fibroblasts were isolated from AS and non-AS patients and cultured. Next, cell morphology was observed, cell proliferation was assessed and the vimentin expression pattern was determined. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and levels of osteogenic markers RUNX2, OPN, OSX, and COL I were additionally measured, followed by determination of miR-92b-3p and TOB1 levels. The binding site of miR-92b-3p and TOB1 was predicted, and their target relationship was validated. Lastly, miR-92b-3p inhibitor, si-TOB1, and the BMP/Smad signaling pathway inhibitor LDN193189 were delivered into AS fibroblasts to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts and the activation of the BMP/Smad pathway.ResultsmiR-92b-3p was highly expressed in AS fibroblasts. AS fibroblasts showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation and proliferation, while inhibition of miR-92b-3p suppressed osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of AS fibroblasts. miR-92b-3p targeted TOB1, and TOB1 was poorly expressed in AS fibroblasts. The concurrent downregulation of TOB1 and inhibition of miR-92b-3p elevated the levels of RUNX2, OPN, OSX, and COL I and ALP activity and further enhanced the proliferation of AS fibroblasts. The BMP/Smad pathway was activated in AS fibroblasts. Silencing miR-92b-3p could inhibit the activation of the BMP/Smad pathway by upregulating TOB1. Inhibition of the BMP/Smad pathway reduced the number of calcified nodules and hindered the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of AS fibroblasts.ConclusionOur findings highlighted that silencing miR-92b-3p inhibited the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of AS fibroblasts by upregulation of TOB1 and inhibition of the BMP/Smad pathway.
