Implication of bone marrow adipose tissue in bone homeostasis during osteoarthritis

ABSTRACT: Objective: To explore the role of bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) in osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Male and female C57BL/6 mice (n=4/group) underwent meniscectomy (MNX) or SHAM surgery. OA was determined using OARSI score and the number of perilipin+ adipocytes was quantified. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) from MNX and SHAM mice were differentiated into osteoblasts and adipocytes. Human adipocytes and MSCs (n=8) were enzymatically isolated from epiphyseal and metaphyseal marrow, and from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) of hip OA patients. Human OA MSCs were differentiated into osteoblasts and adipocytes (OA-Diff-hAdipo). Gene expression patterns of epiphyseal and metaphyseal BMAds, SCAT adipocytes and OA-Diff-hAdipo were evaluated by RNAseq (n=4). The effect conditioned media from OA epiphyseal bone (n=5) on the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization kinetics was assessed in vitro. Results: Increase in BMAd density was positively correlated with cartilage degradation in MNX mice. OA modified the differentiation capacity of MSCs, accelerating adipocyte differentiation and failing to produce osteoblasts in both human and mice. Human epiphyseal, metaphyseal and SCAT adipocytes from the same OA patients each displayed a specific transcriptome, suggesting different functions. Enrichment analysis defined metaphyseal OA-BMAds as cells implicated in hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. On the other hand, epiphyseal OA-BMAds were considered as osteogenic cells showing an up-regulation of genes related to bone mineralization and remodeling. Specifically, OA epiphysis-secreted molecules decreased ALP activity and altered in vitro the mineralization process. Conclusion: All these results support the emergence of BMAds as new cell partners in OA, opening new venues for therapeutic approaches.

Project description:The intriThe intricate balance between MSCs differentiation to osteoblasts or adipocytes is finely regulated. To explore novel participating molecules, we screened for early-stage osteogenesis- or adipogenesis-based MSCs protein expression profile using TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis. Protein annotation, hierarchical clustering, functional stratification, and protein-protein association assessments were performed. Moreover, two upregulated proteins, namely, FBLN2 and NPR3, were validated to participate in the osteogenic differentiation process of MSCs. Subsequently, we independently downregulated FBLN2 and NPR3 during 7 days of osteogenic differentiation, and conducted quantitative proteomics analysis to assess the differential protein regulation between knockdown and control cells. Based on gene ontology (GO) and network analyses, FBLN2 deficiency induced functional alterations associated with biological regulation and stimulus response, whereas, NPR3 deficiency induced functional alterations related to cellular and metabolic processes, and so on. These results demonstrated that proteomics is still an effective tool for the comprehensive exploration of the MSCs differentiation process. cate balance between MSCs differentiation to osteoblasts or adipocytes is finely regulated.
