Project description:Human adult mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) have the potential to differentiate into chondrogenic, adipogenic or osteogenic lineages, providing a potential source for tissue regeneration. An important issue for efficient bone regeneration is to identify factors that can be targeted to promote the osteogenic potential of hMSCs. Using transcriptomic analysis, we found that integrin alpha5 (ITGA5) expression is upregulated during dexamethasone-induced hMSCs osteoblast differentiation. Gain-of-function studies showed that ITGA5 promotes the expression of osteoblast phenotypic markers as well as in vitro osteogenesis in hMSCs. Downregulation of endogenous ITGA5 using shRNA blunted osteoblast marker expression and osteogenic differentiation. Pharmacological and molecular analyses showed that the enhanced hMSCs osteoblast differentiation induced by ITGA5 was mediated by activation of FAK/ERK1/2-MAPKs and PI3K signaling pathways. Remarkably, activation of ITGA5 using a specific antibody that primes the integrin or a peptide that specifically activates ITGA5 was sufficient to enhance ERK1/2-MAPKs and PI3K signaling and to promote osteoblast differentiation and osteogenic capacity of hMSCs. We also demonstrate that hMSCs engineered to over-express ITGA5 exhibited a marked increase in their osteogenic potential in vivo. These findings not only reveal that ITGA5 is required for osteoblast differentiation of adult human MSCs but also provide a novel targeted strategy using ITGA5 agonists to promote the osteogenic capacity of hMSCs, which may be used for tissue regeneration in bone disorders where the recruitment or capacity of MSCs is compromised. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles were generated from bone marrow MSC before and 1, 3 and 7 days after stimulation with 10E-7M dexamethasone to study the early molecular processes of osteogenic differentiation. 3 replicates per timepoint.

Project description:Gene Expression analysis of a differentiation timeseries of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) in the presence of adipogenic/osteogenic factors. hMSCs differentiate into fat cells when treated with dexamethasone (10^-6 M), insulin (10 ug/ml), rosiglitazone (10^-7 M) and IBMX (250 uM). TGFbeta (5 ng/ml) inhibits this process and redirects these cells to differentiate into bone cells. Introduction: Patients suffering from osteoporosis show an increased number of adipocytes in their bone marrow, concomitant with a reduction in the pool of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) that are able to differentiate into osteoblasts, thus leading to suppressed osteogenesis. Methods: In order be able to interfere with this process, we have investigated in vitro culture conditions whereby adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs is impaired and osteogenic differentiation is promoted. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. Results: Our data show that BMP2 promotes both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, while TGFβ inhibits differentiation into both lineages. However, when cells are cultured under adipogenic differentiation conditions, which contains cAMP-enhancing agents such as IBMX of PGE2, TGFβ promotes osteogenic differentiation, while at the same time inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. Gene expression and immunoblot analysis indicated that cAMP-induced suppression of HDAC5 levels plays an important role in the inhibitory effect of TGFβ on osteogenic differentiation. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are downregulated by TGFβ under adipogenic differentiation conditions and may therefore be potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. We thus identified 9 genes for which FDA-approved drugs are available. Our results show that drugs directed against the nuclear hormone receptor PPARG, the metalloproteinase ADAMTS5 and the aldo-keto reductase AKR1B10 inhibit adipogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, although in contrast to TGFβ they do not appear to promote osteogenic differentiation. Conclusions: The approach chosen in this study has resulted in the identification of new targets for inhibition of fat cell differentiation, which may not only be relevant for prevention of osteoporosis, but also of obesity. hMSCs were induced to differentiate in the presence dexamethasone, insulin and rosiglitazone, to which was added either 50 ng/ml BMP2; BMP2 + TGFbeta; BMP2 + IBMX; BMP2 + TGFbeta + IBMX.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are able to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, which makes them an interesting source for tissue engineering applications. On the other hand, these cells also secrete a broad panel of growth factors and cytokines that can exert trophic effects on surrounding tissues. In bone tissue engineering applications, the general assumption is that direct differentiation of hMSCs into osteoblasts accounts for newly observed bone formation in vivo. However, the secretion of bone-specific growth factors, but also pro-angiogenic factors, could also contribute to this process. We recently demonstrated that secretion of bone specific growth factors can be enhanced by treatment of hMSCs with the small molecule db-cAMP (cAMP) and here we investigate the biological activity of these secreted factors. We demonstrate that conditioned medium contains a variety of secreted growth factors, with differences between medium from basic-treated and cAMP-treated hMSCs. We show that conditioned medium from cAMP-treated hMSCs increases proliferation of various cell types and also induces osteogenic differentiation, whereas it has differential effects on migration. Microarray analysis on hMSCs exposed to conditioned medium confirmed upregulation of pathways involved in proliferation as well as osteogenic differentiation. Our data suggests that trophic factors secreted by hMSCs can be tuned for specific applications and that a good balance between differentiation on the one hand and secretion of bone trophic factors on the other, could potentially enhance bone formation for bone tissue engineering applications.

Project description:Osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) may potentially be used in cell-based bone tissue-engineering applications to enhance the bone-forming potential of these cells. Osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation are thought to be mutually exclusive, and although several signaling pathways and cues that induce osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation, respectively, have been identified, there is no general consensus on how to optimally differentiate hMSCs into the osteogenic lineage. Some pathways have also been reported to be involved in both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, as for example, the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, and the aim of this study was to investigate the role of cAMP/PKA signaling in differentiation of hMSCs in more detail. We show that activation of this pathway with dibutyryl-cAMP results in enhanced alkaline phosphatase expression, whereas another cAMP analog induces adipogenesis in long-term mineralization cultures. Adipogenic differentiation, induced by 8-bromo-cAMP, was accompanied by stronger PKA activity and higher expression of cAMP-responsive genes, suggesting that stronger activation correlates with adipogenic differentiation. In addition, a whole-genome expression analysis showed an increase in expression of adipogenic genes in 8-br-cAMP-treated cells. Furthermore, by means of quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we show differences in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma activation, either alone or in combination with dexamethasone, thus demonstrating differential effects of the PKA pathway, most likely depending on its mode of activation.

Project description:To identify the key microRNAs (miRNAs) of hMSCs required for fate determination, miRNA profiling was performed with hMSCs from three different sources including adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), bone-marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), and umbilical cord-derived stem cells (UCSCs) versus fibroblasts, a more differentiated mesenchymal cell types. We compared the expression profiles of two different donors per hMSCs to that of fibroblasts. All hMSCs were used for profiling at passage 3-6.

Project description:Heat shock proteins are highly conserved proteins that, when produced intracellularly, protect stress exposed cells. It has been suggested that extracellular Hsp70 has both protective and deleterious effects. Our study showed eHSP70 increased the ALP activity, promoted mineralization and up-regulated osteogenesis-related markers. We used microarrays to determine the differentially expressed genes and identify revelant pathways through pathway enrichment analysis. hMSCs were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays after 3-day culture. The experimental group was treated with HSP70 (200ng/ml) during osteogenic differentiation and control group without it.

Project description:The PLZF transcription factor is essential for osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, however, its regulation and molecular function during this process is not fully understood. Here we revealed that the ZBTB16 locus encoding PLZF, is repressed by Polycomb (PcG) and H3K27me3 in naïve hMSCs. At the pre-osteoblast stage of differentiation, the locus lost PcG binding and H3K27me3, gained JMJD3 recruitment, and H3K27ac resulting in high expression of PLZF. Subsequently, PLZF was recruited to osteogenic enhancers, influencing H3K27 acetylation and expression of nearby genes important for osteogenic function. Furthermore, we identified a latent enhancer within the ZBTB16/PLZF locus itself that became active, gained PLZF, p300 and Mediator binding and looped to the promoter of the nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) gene. The increased expression of NNMT correlated with a decline in SAM levels, which is dependent on PLZF and is required for osteogenic differentiation.
