Gene expression of human bone marrow-derived stem cells on liquid crystalline self-assembed hydroxyapatite nanorods for bone regeneration

ABSTRACT: Liquid crystal-like, low-dimensional and long-range ordered structures (LC) are found in human tissues including bones. The excellent mechanical and biological functions of natural bones entail the well-orchestrated nano-scale hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals within collagen fibres matrix. However, the understanding of the self-assembling of HAp nanocrystals and formation of hierarchically ordered bone structure are still elusive. Our study aims to develop an in situ traceable anisotropic HAp nanorods doped with citrate and terbium (Cit/Tb-HAp NRs), investigate their self-assembling behaviour and illuminate their potential and pathway of guiding ordered osteogenesis at multi-scale in vitro.

Project description:The reciprocal interaction between cancer cells and the tissue-specific stroma is critical for primary and metastatic tumor growth progression. Prostate cancer cells colonize preferentially bone (osteotropism), where they alter the physiological balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and elicit prevalently an osteoblastic response (osteoinduction). The molecular cues provided by osteoblasts for the survival and growth of bone metastatic prostate cancer cells are largely unknown. We exploited the sufficient divergence between human and mouse RNA sequences together with redefinition of highly species-specific gene arrays by computer-aided and experimental exclusion of cross-hybridizing oligonucleotide probes. This strategy allowed the dissection of the stroma (mouse) from the cancer cell (human) transcriptome in bone metastasis xenograft models of human osteoinductive prostate cancer cells (VCaP and C4-2B). As a result, we generated the osteoblastic bone metastasis-associated stroma transcriptome (OB-BMST). Subtraction of genes shared by inflammation, wound healing and desmoplastic responses, and by the tissue type-independent stroma responses to a variety of non-osteotropic and osteotropic primary cancers generated a curated gene signature (“Core” OB-BMST) putatively representing the bone marrow/bone-specific stroma response to prostate cancer-induced, osteoblastic bone metastasis. The expression pattern of three representative Core OB-BMST genes (PTN, EPHA3 and FSCN1) seems to confirm the bone specificity of this response. A robust induction of genes involved in osteogenesis and angiogenesis dominates both the OB-BMST and Core OB-BMST. This translates in an amplification of hematopoietic and, remarkably, prostate epithelial stem cell niche components that may function as a self-reinforcing bone metastatic niche providing a growth support specific for osteoinductive prostate cancer cells. The induction of this combinatorial stem cell niche is a novel mechanism that may also explain cancer cell osteotropism and local interference with hematopoiesis (myelophthisis). Accordingly, these stem cell niche components may represent innovative therapeutic targets and/or serum biomarkers in osteoblastic bone metastasis.

Project description:Over-expression of human angiotensin-II receptor type1 (hAT1R) may cause pathological outcomes due to overactivation of renin-angiotensin system. Transgenic (TG) mice containing Hap-I (hypertensive genotype) of human hAT1R gene are more prone to develop metabolic syndrome disorders as compared to TG mice with Hap-II (normotensive genotype). This gene variant associated risk of hypertension together with Western diet and aging may lead to renal disorders. However, mechanisms underlying this process are not well examined. For this purpose, we studied the renal gene expression alterations in aged TG mice containing either Hap-I or Hap-II of hAT1R gene. Aged mice (20-24 months of age) were maintained on a regular diet or high fat diet with 2% NaCl (Western diet, WD) for 16 weeks. On a regular diet, aged Hap-I mice presented higher (~9 mmHg) systolic blood pressure with respect to age-matched Hap-II animals. Following administration of Western diet, blood pressure increased in both groups of mice, but to a larger extent in Hap-I animals (~15 mmHg in comparison to ~7 mmHg in Hap-II). Aged Hap-I mice on Western diet showed increased renal fibrosis. RNA-seq data from renal tissue of Hap-I aged mice revealed that WD significantly altered the expression of >400 genes (p-adj. <0.05). Bioinformatics analysis (Qiagen IPA software) identified major alterations in main canonical pathways involved in renal function and oxidative damage. These changes in turn resulted in kidney failure, renal tubular injury, and renal proliferation. In addition, post WD treatment, RNA seq. analysis from Hap-I and Hap-II kidneys also reveals haplotype specific regulation of genes associated with blood pressure regulation and kidney disorders. Overall, these results indicate that Western diet promotes hypertension and fibrosis in the kidneys of aged mice. These alterations are paralleled by perturbation of renal transcriptional profile. Overall, these studies will assist in the identification of novel mechanisms and molecules involved in hypertension and associated kidney pathophysiology.
