P53 and Parkin co-regulate mitophagy in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to promote the repair of early steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

ABSTRACT: Survival and stemness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in osteonecrotic areas are especially important in the treatment of early steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). We had previously used BMSCs to repair early steroid-induced ONFH, but the transplanted BMSCs underwent a great deal of stress-induced apoptosis and aging in the oxidative-stress (OS) microenvironment of the femoral-head necrotic area, which limited their efficacy. Our subsequent studies have shown that under OS, massive accumulation of damaged mitochondria in cells is an important factor leading to stress-induced apoptosis and senescence of BMSCs. The main reason for this accumulation is that OS leads to upregulation of protein 53 (P53), which inhibits mitochondrial translocation of Parkin and activation of Parkin's E3 ubiquitin ligase, which decreases the level of mitophagy and leads to failure of cells to effectively remove damaged mitochondria. However, P53 downregulation can effectively reverse this process. Therefore, we upregulated Parkin and downregulated P53 in BMSCs. We found that this significantly enhanced mitophagy in BMSCs, decreased the accumulation of damaged mitochondria in cells, effectively resisted stress-induced BMSCs apoptosis and senescence, and improved the effect of BMSCs transplantation on early steroid-induced ONFH.

Project description:BackgroundCellular therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising novel therapeutic strategy for the osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), which is gradually becoming popular, particularly for early-stage ONFH. Nonetheless, the MSC-based therapy is challenging due to certain limitations, such as limited self-renewal capability of cells, availability of donor MSCs, and the costs involved in donor screening. As an alternative approach, MSCs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which may lead to further standardized-cell preparations.MethodsIn the present study, the bone marrow samples of patients with ONFH (n = 16) and patients with the fracture of the femoral neck (n = 12) were obtained during operation. The bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation. BMSCs of ONFH patients (ONFH-BMSCs) were reprogrammed to iPSCs, following which the iPSCs were differentiated into MSCs (iPSC-MSCs). Forty adult male rats were randomly divided into following groups (n = 10 per group): (a) normal control group, (b) methylprednisolone (MPS) group, (c) MPS + BMSCs treated group, and (d) MPS + iPSC-MSC-treated group. Eight weeks after the establishment of the ONFH model, rats in BMSC-treated group and iPSC-MSC-treated group were implanted with BMSCs and iPSC-MSCs through intrabone marrow injection. Bone repair of the femoral head necrosis area was analyzed after MSC transplantation.ResultsThe morphology, immunophenotype, in vitro differentiation potential, and DNA methylation patterns of iPSC-MSCs were similar to those of normal BMSCs, while the proliferation of iPSC-MSCs was higher and no tumorigenic ability was exhibited. Furthermore, comparing the effectiveness of iPSC-MSCs and the normal BMSCs in an ONFH rat model revealed that the iPSC-MSCs was equivalent to normal BMSCs in preventing bone loss and promoting bone repair in the necrosis region of the femoral head.ConclusionReprogramming can reverse the abnormal proliferation, differentiation, and DNA methylation patterns of ONFH-BMSCs. Transplantation of iPSC-MSCs could effectively promote bone repair and angiogenesis in the necrosis area of the femoral head.

Project description:PurposeSteroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory orthopedic hip disease occurring in young and middle-aged people, with glucocorticoids being the most common cause. Previous experimental studies have shown that cell pyroptosis may be involved in the pathological process of SONFH, but its pathogenesis in SONFH is still unclear. This study aims to screen and validate potential pyroptosis-related genes in SONFH diagnosis by bioinformatics analysis to further elucidate the mechanism of pyroptosis in SONFH.MethodsThere were 33 pyroptosis-related genes obtained from the prior reviews. The mRNA expression was downloaded from GSE123568 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 10 non-SONFH (following steroid administration) samples and 30 SONFH samples. The pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified with "affy" and "limma" R package by intersecting the GSE123568 dataset with pyroptosis genes. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were conducted by "clusterProfiler" R package and visualized by "GOplot" R package. Then, the correlations between the expression levels of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were confirmed with "corrplot" R package. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was analysed by using GeneMANIA database. Next, The ROC curve of pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were analyzed by "pROC" R package.ResultsA total of 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were identified between the peripheral blood samples of SONFH patients and non-SONFH patients based on the defined criteria, including 20 upregulated genes and 10 downregulated genes. The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that these 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were particularly enriched in cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process, positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta secretion and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among the 10 differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes involved in SONFH. The PPI results demonstrated that the 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes interacted with each other. Compared to non-SONFH samples, these pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes had good predictive diagnostic efficacy (AUC = 1.000, CI = 1.000-1.000) in the SONFH samples, and NLRP1 had the highest diagnostic value (AUC: 0.953) in the SONFH samples.ConclusionsThere were 10 potential pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified via bioinformatics analysis, which might serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers because they regulated pyroptosis. These results expand the understanding of SONFH associated with pyroptosis and provide new insights to further explore the mechanism of action and diagnosis of pyroptosis associated in SONFH.
