Project description:Although cellular and molecular mechanisms during the course of bone healing have been thoroughly investigated, the regulation of gene expression by microRNA during bone regeneration is still poorly understood. We hypothesized that nonunion formation is associated with different microRNA expression patterns and that target proteins of these microRNAs are differently expressed in callus tissue of nonunions compared to physiologically healing bones. In a well-established femoral osteotomy model in CD-1 mice osteotomies were induced which result either in healing or in nonunion formation. MicroRNA and target protein expression was evaluated by microarray, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qrt-PCR) and Western blot. Microarray analyses demonstrated 44 microRNAs to be relevant for nonunion formation compared to physiological bone healing. In nonunions qrt-PCR could validate a higher expression of microRNA-140-3p and microRNA-140-5p. This was associated with a reduced expression of Dnpep and stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1α, which are both known to be target proteins of microRNA-140 and also to be involved in the process of bone healing. These data suggest that an increased expression of microRNA-140-3p and mi-croRNA-140-5p markedly contributes to the development of nonunions, most probably by affecting bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 function during the early stage of healing due to a reduced SDF-1α expression.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNA molecules regulating the expression of mRNAs. Target identification of miRNAs is computationally difficult due to the relatively low homology between miRNAs and their targets. We present here an experimental approach to target identification where the cartilage-specific miR-140 was overexpressed and silenced in cells it is normally expressed in separate experiments. Expression of mRNAs was profiled in both experiments and the intersection of mRNAs repressed by miR-140 overexpression and derepressed by silencing of miR-140 was identified. The intersection contained only 49 genes, although both treatments affected the accumulation of hundreds of mRNAs. These 49 genes showed a very strong enrichment for the miR-140 seed sequence implying that the approach is efficient and specific. 21 of these 49 genes were predicted to be direct targets based on the presence of the seed sequence. Interestingly, none of these were predicted by the published target prediction methods we used. One of the potential target mRNAs, Cxcl12, was experimentally validated by Northern blot analysis and a luciferase reporter assay.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Heterozygous loss-of-function point mutations of miRNA genes are associated with several human congenital disorders, but neomorphic (gain-of-new-function) mutations in miRNAs due to nucleotide substitutions have not been reported. Here we describe a neomorphic seed region mutation in the chondrocyte-specific, super-enhancer-associated MIR140 gene encoding microRNA-140 (miR-140) in a novel autosomal dominant human skeletal dysplasia. Mice with the corresponding single nucleotide substitution show skeletal abnormalities similar to those of the patients but distinct from those of miR-140-null mice. This mutant miRNA gene yields abundant mutant miR-140-5p expression without miRNA-processing defects. In chondrocytes, the mutation causes widespread derepression of wild-type miR-140-5p targets and repression of mutant miR-140-5p targets, indicating that the mutation produces both loss-of-function and gain-of-function effects. Furthermore, the mutant miR-140-5p seed competes with the conserved RNA-binding protein Ybx1 for overlapping binding sites. This finding may explain the potent target repression and robust in vivo effect by this mutant miRNA even in the absence of evolutionary selection of miRNA–target RNA interactions, which contributes to the strong regulatory effects of conserved miRNAs. Our study presents the first case of a pathogenic gain-of-function miRNA mutation and provides molecular insight into neomorphic actions of emerging and/or mutant miRNAs.

Experiment Overall Design: Each condition was profiled in triplicate. For over-expression experiment cells were transfected with siRNA-140 (miR-140 mimick) or siRNA-96 (as a control). For suppresion experiment cells were transfected with LNA-antimicroRNA-140 (suppressing endogenous miR-140) or LNA-antimicroRNA-449 (as a control).

Project description:Analysis of mouse chondrocytes lacking the microRNA-140. MicroRNAs are genomically encoded small RNAs to regulate the gene expression. miR-140 shows high expression in cartilage. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying miR-140 function in chondrocytes. Keywords: Expression profiling by array DNA microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 array. RNA samples collected from cultured rib chondrocytes of wild-type and miR-140-/- to identify potential mRNA targets of miR-140. 2 M-BM-5g of total RNA was reverse transcribed with SuperScript II and second strand cDNA was synthesized. Biotinylated antisense cRNAs was amplified and transcribed using the GeneChip expression 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-Amplification reagent (Affymetrix). Finally, 10 M-BM-5g of cRNAs were fragmented and hybridized to GeneChip (R) Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array (Affymetrix). Microarray data were summarized by Robust Multichip Average (RMA) method and statistical analysis was performed using NIA Array Analysis (http://Igusun.grc.nia.nih.gov/ANOVA/).

Project description:Bone fracture healing shows approximately 10-15% non-unions, although theoretically it has the potential of scarless regeneration. With regards to our aging society, a better understanding of the healing process is needed to allow for more sophisticated treatment options. Particular the early phase, which is a high complex and dynamic process in regards to nutrient and engery requirements. Here we investigate the proteomic (and metabolic) characteristics of the local microenvironment from successful (in young female Sprague-Dawley rats) and biologically compromised (in aged female rats with a minimum litter of three)bone reneration at day 3, 7 and 14 after osteotomy.

Project description:Background: Dicalcium cilicate (C2S) is a potent biomaterial for bone regeneration application. Circular RNA (circRNAs) plays crucial role in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and bone defect healing. In this study, we aim to elucidate the differential expression of circ_RNAs and mRNAs in C2S-treated MSCs, the role of circ_1983 in C2S-mediated bone regeneration, and its mechanism. Methods: The effect of C2S on osteogenic differentiation of mice bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) and rat cranial bone defect healing were analyzed. Differential expression of circ-RNAs and mRNAs in C2S-treated BMSCs were profiled by RNA-sequencing. The interaction between circ_1983 and miR-6931 was confirmed by pull-down and dual luciferase reporter assays. ceRNA function of circ_1983 via sponging miR-6931 and targeting Gas7 mRNA expression in BMSCs was analyzed by miRanda (http://www.microrna.org/microrna/). Role of circ_1983 in C2S-induced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was analyzed by shRNA-mediated knockdown of circ_1983. Results: C2S enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and bone defect healing. CircRNAs (total 1384) and mRNAs (total 1725) were differentially upregulated in C2S-treated BMSCs. Upregulated circRNAs and ceRNA-interaction networks were associated with osteogenesis-related signaling pathways, i.e. MAPK, PI3K-Akt. RNA-sequencing and qRT-PCR results confirmed upregulation of circ_1983 in C2S-tretaed BMSCs. Circ_1983 showed ceRNA effect by sponging miR-6931 and overexpressing Gas mRNA that enhanced Runx2 expression and promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Knockdown of circ_1983 inhibited the C2S-induced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Interpretation: C2S-induced circ_1983 upregulation in BMSCs sponges miR-6931 and targets Gas7 gene to enhance Runx2 expression thereby promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration.

Project description:The fracture hematoma that forms between the broken fragments of bone serves as a natural fibrin scaffold. However, there is no data regarding the differences between the micro-architectural and biological properties of hematomas formed in normally healing, delayed healing, and non-healing bone defects. Mimicking these three conditions in the rat femur, we demonstrate clear differences in fibrin clot morphology, which directly affect the gene expression pattern. Specifically, RNA-sequencing reveals that the expression of essential osteogenic genes in normally healing defects are significantly up-regulated, whereas in delayed and non-healing defects they are down-regulated. Surprisingly, there were no substantial differences between delayed and non-healing defects. Most importantly, this study demonstrates that the healing outcome has already been determined at the earliest stage of bone healing. These findings could be used to develop biomaterial scaffolds mimicking the micro-architectural properties of normally healing fracture hematoma as a treatment strategy for bone defects. The hypothesis of this study was that the micro-architectural properties of the initially formed hematoma has a significant effect on the regulation of the biological process at the fracture site, which ultimately determines the outcome of bone healing. Three different healing models were investigated - normally healing, delayed healing, and non-healing defects. The results demonstrated that the intrinsic micro-architectural properties of hematomas between those groups varied distinctly in terms of fiber diameter, porosity, and density of the formed fibrin network. Those differences influenced biological responses, as evidenced by a higher expression of osteogenic genes in normally healing compared to delayed and non-healing defects, and the failed activation of BMP-2 in non-healing defects. More importantly, our results demonstrate healing outcomes are already determined at the initial (hematoma) stage of bone healing.
