Project description:Minerals play a vital role, working synergistically with enzymes and other cofactors to regulate physiological functions including tissue healing and regeneration. The bioactive characteristics of mineral-based nanomaterials can be harnessed to facilitate in situ tissue regeneration by attracting endogenous progenitor and stem cells and subsequently directing tissue-specific differentiation. Here, cellular responses of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to traditional bioactive mineral-based nanomaterials, such as hydroxyapatite, whitlockite, silicon-dioxide, and the emerging synthetic 2D nanosilicates are investigated. Transcriptome sequencing is utilized to probe the cellular response and determine the significantly affected signaling pathways due to exposure to these inorganic nanomaterials. Transcriptome profiles of stem cells treated with nanosilicates reveals a stabilized skeletal progenitor state suggestive of endochondral differentiation. This observation is bolstered by enhanced deposition of matrix mineralization in nanosilicate treated stem cells compared to control or other treatments. Specifically, use of 2D nanosilicates directs osteogenic differentiation of stem cells via activation of bone morphogenetic proteins and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha signaling pathway. This study provides insight into impact of nanomaterials on cellular gene expression profile and predicts downstream effects of nanomaterial induction of endochondral differentiation.

Project description:Endochondral ossification (EO) is the natural route for the regeneration of large and mechanically challenged bone defects. Regeneration occurs via a fibrocartilagenous phase which turns into bone upon vascularization and the formation of a transient collagen type X extra cellular matrix. These two critical initiator of EO are mediated by Hedgehog proteins. We investigated a tissue engineering approach using Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) as a pleiotropic factor regulating the in vitro formation of a vascularized bone tissue precursor for in vivo endochondral bone formation. The tissue engineered graft was formed using human mesenchymal stem cells and prevascularized using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. We show that Shh induced, in vitro, the maturation of the engineered vascular network along with the expression of collagen type X which resulted, in vivo, in an improved vascularization and the rapid formation of large amounts of osteoids through EO. Osteoids further matured into, currently unmatched, clinically relevant amount of lamellar bone including osteoclasts, bone lining cells and bone marrow-like cavities. This result suggests that Hh is a master regulator of EO allowing for the formation of complex tissues with considerable therapeutic potential for bone regeneration. The effect of Cyclopamine on expression of Hedgehog, angiogenesis and axon guidance marker genes was analyzed by seeding a coculture of 92% hMSCs and 8% huvEC supplemented or not in cyclopamine, for 12 days

Project description:Appendicular skeletal growth and bone mass acquisition are controlled by a variety of growth factors, hormones, and mechanical forces in a dynamic process called endochondral ossification. In long bones, chondrocytes in the growth plate proliferate and undergo hypertrophy to drive bone lengthening and mineralization. Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and leucine rich repeat phosphatase 1 and 2 (Phlpp1 and Phlpp2) are serine/threonine protein phosphatases that regulate cell proliferation, survival, and maturation via Akt, PKC, Raf1, S6k, and other intracellular signaling cascades. Germline deletion of Phlpp1 suppresses bone lengthening in part through parathyroid hormone receptor-dependent signaling in growth plate chondrocytes. Here, we demonstrate that Phlpp2 does not regulate endochondral ossification, and we define the molecular differences between Phlpp1 and Phlpp2 in chondrocytes. Phlpp2-/- mice are phenotypically indistinguishable from their wildtype (WT) littermates, with similar bone length, bone mass, and growth plate dynamics. Deletion of Phlpp2 had moderate effects on the chondrocyte transcriptome and proteome compared to WT cells. By contrast, Phlpp1/2-/- (double knockout) mice resembled Phlpp1-/- mice phenotypically and chondrocyte phospho-proteomes of Phlpp1-/- and Phlpp1/2-/- chondrocytes were different than WT and Phlpp2-/- chondrocyte phospho-proteomes. Data integration via multiparametric analysis identified alterations in Pdpk1 and Pak1/2 signaling pathways in chondrocytes lacking Phlpp1. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that Phlpp1, but not Phlpp2, regulates endochondral ossification through multiple and complex signaling cascades.

Project description:During endochondral fracture repair, a myriad of biochemical and phenotypic changes occur at the chondro-osseuous junction that regulate cartilage to bone conversion. Osteogenic and angiogenic factors have long been studied for accelerating fracture repair. In our concise study, we focused on the neurotrophic factor nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TRKA) as understudied therapeutic targets for accelerating endochondral fracture repair. We first characterized endogenous expression of NGF and TRKA during endochondral repair of tibial fractures. We then analyzed gene expression data from β-NGF stimulated hypertrophic cartilage and observed a promotion in endochondral ossification associated markers. Additional gene ontology analyses revealed promotion of genes associated with Wnt activation, PDGF binding, and integrin binding. Subsequent histological analyses of in vivo samples confirmed Wnt activation following local β-NGF injections via reporter mice. Finally, we tested the therapeutic efficacy of local β-NGF injections in mice, which resulted in a decrease of cartilage and increase of bone volume. Moreover, the newly formed bone contained higher trabecular number, connective density, and bone mineral density. Collectively, we demonstrate the ability for β-NGF to promote endochondral fracture repair in a murine model and uncover mechanisms that will serve to further understand the molecular switches that occur during endochondral ossification.

Project description:Appendicular growth and bone mass acquisition are controlled by a variety of growth factors, hormones, and mechanical forces in a dynamic process called endochondral ossification. Chondrocytes in the growth plate must proliferate and undergo hypertrophy to drive growth plate expansion and lay the template for bone. Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and leucine rich repeat phosphatase 1 and 2 (Phlpp1 and Phlpp2) are protein phosphatases that regulate intracellular signaling cascades through posttranslational modification of AKT, PKC, and S6K, among others. Phlpp1 controls chondrocyte proliferation and survival and germline deletion of Phlpp1 suppresses bone lengthening. Here, we demonstrate that Phlpp2 does not regulate endochondral ossification. Phlpp2-/- mice are phenotypically indistinguishable from their wildtype (WT) littermates, with similar bone length, bone mass, and growth plate dynamics. By contrast, Phlpp1/2-/- mice are phenotypically indistinguishable from Phlpp1-/- mice. Deletion of Phlpp1 or Phlpp2 had moderate effects on the chondrocyte transcriptome and proteome compared to WT control cells. By contrast, Phlpp1-/- and Phlpp1/2-/- chondrocytes had significantly altered phospho-proteomes compared to WT and Phlpp2-/- chondrocytes. Data integration via multiomics analysis revealed that RAF-MEK-ERK signaling was altered in cells lacking Phlpp1. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that Phlpp1, but not Phlpp2, regulates endochondral ossification via the chondrocyte phospho-proteome.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, an ultrathin class of materials such as graphene, nanoclays, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and transition metal oxides (TMOs), have emerged as a new generation of materials due to their unique properties relative to macroscale counterparts. However, little is known about the transcriptome dynamics following exposure to these nanomaterials. Here we investigate the interactions of 2D nanosilicates, a layered clay, with human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) at the whole transcriptome level by high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq). Analysis of cell-nanosilicate interactions by monitoring change in transcriptome profile uncovers key biophysical and biochemical cellular pathways triggered by nanosilicates. A widespread alteration of genes is observed due to nanosilicate exposure as more than 4,000 genes are differentially expressed. The change in mRNA expression levels reveal clathrin-mediated endocytosis of nanosilicates. Nanosilicate attachment to cell membrane and subsequent cellular internalization activate stress-responsive pathways such as mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), which subsequently directs hMSC differentiation towards osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages. This study provides transcriptomic insight on the role of surface-mediated cellular signaling triggered by nanomaterials and enables development of nanomaterials-based therapeutics for regenerative medicine. This approach in understanding nanomaterial-cell interactions, illustrates how change in transcriptomic profile can predict downstream effects following nanomaterial treatment.

Project description:Endochondral ossification forms and grows the majority of the mammalian skeleton and is tightly controlled through gene regulatory networks. The forkhead box transcription factors Foxc1 and Foxc2 have been demonstrated to regulate aspects of osteoblast function in the formation of the skeleton but their roles in chondrocytes to control endochondral ossification are less clear. We demonstrate that Foxc1 expression is directly regulated by SOX9 activity, one of the earliest transcription factors to specify the chondrocyte lineages. Moreover we demonstrate that elevelated expression of Foxc1 promotes chondrocyte differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells and loss of Foxc1 function inhibits chondrogenesis in vitro. Using chondrocyte-targeted deletion of Foxc1 and Foxc2 in mice, we reveal a role for these factors in chondrocyte differentiation in vivo. Loss of both Foxc1 and Foxc2 caused a general skeletal dysplasia predominantly affecting the vertebral column. The long bones of the limb were smaller and mineralization was reduced and organization of the growth plate was disrupted. In particular, the stacked columnar organization of the proliferative chondrocyte layer was reduced in size and cell proliferation in growth plate chondrocytes was reduced. Differential gene expression analysis indicated disrupted expression patterns in chondrogenesis and ossification genes throughout the entire process of endochondral ossification in Col2-cre;Foxc1Δ/Δ;Foxc2Δ/Δ embryos. Our results suggest that Foxc1 and Foxc2 are required for correct chondrocyte differentiation and function. Loss of both genes results in disorganization of the growth plate, reduced chondrocyte proliferation and delays in chondrocyte hypertrophy that prevents correct ossification of the endochondral skeleton.
