Synthesis of Inorganic Pyrophosphatase-Nanodiamond Conjugates Resistant to Calcium and Fluoride.

ABSTRACT: Pyrophosphate arthropathy is the mineralization defect in humans caused by the deposition of microcrystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate in joint tissues. As a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of pyrophosphate arthropathy, delivery of exogenous pyrophosphate-hydrolyzing enzymes, inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases), to the synovial fluid has been suggested. Previously, we synthesized the conjugates of Escherichia coli PPase (Ec-PPase) with detonation synthesis nanodiamonds (NDs) as a delivery platform, obtaining the hybrid biomaterial retaining high pyrophosphate-hydrolyzing activity in vitro. However, most known PPases including Ec-PPase in the soluble form are strongly inhibited by Ca2+ ions. Because synovial fluid contains up to millimolar concentrations of soluble calcium, this inhibition might limit the in vivo application of Ec-PPase-based material in joint tissues. In this work, we proposed other bacterial PPases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt-PPase), which are resistant to the inhibition by Ca2+ ions, as an active PPi-hydrolyzing agent. We synthesized conjugates of Mt-PPase with NDs and tested their activity under various conditions. Unexpectedly, conjugates of both Ec-PPase and Mt-PPase with aminated NDs retained significant hydrolytic activity in the presence of well-known mechanism-based PPase inhibitors, fluoride or calcium. The incomplete inhibition of PPases by fluoride or calcium was found for the first time.

Project description:IntroductionThe physiologic selectivity of calcification in bone tissue reflects selective co-expression by osteoblasts of fibrillar collagen I and of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which hydrolyzes the calcification inhibitor pyrophosphate (PP(i)) and generates phosphate (P(i)). Humans and mice deficient in the PP(i)-generating ecto-enzyme NPP1 demonstrate soft tissue calcification, occurring at sites of extracellular matrix expansion. Significantly, the function in osteoblasts of cytosolic inorganic pyrophosphatase (abbreviated iPP(i)ase), which generates P(i) via PP(i) hydrolysis with neutral pH optimum, remains unknown. We assessed iPP(i)ase in Enpp1(-/-) and wild type (WT) mouse osteoblasts and we tested the hypothesis that iPP(i)ase regulates collagen I expression.MethodsWe treated mouse calvarial osteoblasts with ascorbate and beta-glycerol phosphate to promote calcification, and we assessed cytosolic P(i) and PP(i) levels, sodium-dependent P(i) uptake, Pit-1 P(i) co-transporter expression, and iPP(i)ase and TNAP activity and expression. We also assessed the function of transfected Ppa1 in osteoblasts.ResultsInorganic pyrophosphatase but not TNAP was elevated in Enpp1(-/-) calvariae in situ. Cultured primary Enpp1(-/-) calvarial osteoblasts demonstrated increased calcification despite flat TNAP activity rather than physiologic TNAP up-regulation seen in WT osteoblasts. Despite decreased cytosolic PP(i) in early culture, Enpp1(-/-) osteoblasts maintained cytosolic P(i) levels comparable to WT osteoblasts, in association with increased iPP(i)ase, enhanced sodium-dependent P(i) uptake and expression of Pit-1, and markedly increased collagen I synthesis. Suppression of collagen synthesis in Enpp1(-/-) osteoblasts using 3,4-dehydroproline markedly suppressed calcification. Last, transfection of Ppa1 in WT osteoblasts increased cytosolic P(i) and decreased cytosolic but not extracellular PP(i), and induced both collagen I synthesis and calcification.ConclusionsIncreased iPP(i)ase is associated with "P(i) hunger" and increased calcification by NPP1-deficient osteoblasts. Furthermore, iPP(i)ase induces collagen I at the levels of mRNA expression and synthesis and, unlike TNAP, stimulates calcification by osteoblasts without reducing the extracellular concentration of the hydroxyapatite crystal inhibitor PP(i).
