Project description:Effect of Glucocorticoids on microRNA, lncRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles of the Human Bone Microcirculatory Endothelial Cells from Femoral Head
Project description:In the progression of glucocorticoids (GCs) induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), miRNAs have important regulatory role and is involved in many biological processes. In this current study, we detected the expression levels of miRNA in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after 48 hours of dexamethasone intervention and further explored the role of key miRNA in a GCs induced ONFH rat model.
Project description:In this series we have analyzed the effect of donor age on the gene expression profile of mesenchymal stromal cells (alternatively named mesenchymal stem cells; MSC) from human bone marrow. Cells were taken from bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest (BM) of healthy donors or from the caput femoris (HIP) of elderly patients that received femoral head prosthesis.
Project description:The differentiation fate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) affects the progression of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). We find that LncRNA DGCR5 encodes a 102-aa polypeptide, RIP (Rac1 inactivated peptide), which promotes the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs and aggravates the progression of SONFH. RIP, instead of LncRNA DGCR5, binds to the N-terminal motif of RAC1 and inactivates the RAC1/PAK1 cascade, resulting in decreased Ser675 phosphorylation of β-catenin. Ultimately, the nuclear localization of β-catenin decreases, and the differentiation balance of BMSCs tilts toward the adipogenesis lineage. In the femoral head of rats, overexpression of RIP causes trabecular bone disorder and adipocyte accumulation, which can be rescued by overexpressing RAC1. This finding expands the regulatory role of lncRNAs in BMSCs and suggests RIP as a potential therapeutic target.
Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of primary osteoporosis on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from human bone marrow. Human MSC of elderly patients suffering from osteoporosis were isolated from femoral heads after low-energy fracture of the femoral neck. Bone marrow of age-matched, non-osteoporotic donors was obtained of femoral heads after total hip arthroplasty.
Project description:The osteonecrotic area of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is a hypoxic microenvironment that leads to apoptosis of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we explore the mechanism of hypoxic-induced apoptosis of BMSCs, and use the mechanism to improve the transplantation efficacy of BMSCs. We analyzed LncRNA/mRNA expression profile of BMSCs under hypoxia conditions, and successfully screened the key long non-coding RNA AABR07053481 (LncAABR07053481) which mediated hypoxic apoptosis of BMSCs, we further determined its regulatory mechanism. Importantly, overexpression of LncAABR07053481 can improve the survival rate and repair efficacy of BMSCs under hypoxia conditions.
Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of primary osteoporosis and advanced donor age on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from bone marrow. Human MSC of elderly patients suffering from osteoporosis were isolated from femoral heads after low-energy fracture of the femoral neck. Control cells were obtained from bone marrow of femoral heads of middle-aged, non-osteoporotic donors after total hip arthroplasty.
Project description:Appropriate gene expression patterns form the basis for bone microcirculatory endothelial cellsM-bM-^@M-^Y function and bone morphology. Although previous studies have elucidated the impact of hydrocortisone on bone microcirculatory endothelial cellsM-bM-^@M-^Y specific gene expression, the exact differential transcriptomes and comprehensive gene expression profiles remain unknown. We have investigated the mRNA and lncRNA expression patterns before and after hydrocortisone administration of bone microcirculatory endothelial cells. At mRNAs level totally 518 differentially expressed genes were identified. Furthermore, we identified 73 upregulated and 166 downregulated long non-coding RNAs after administration of hydrocortisone. These RNAs appeared to be highly important to gene co-expression network. Transcriptomic analysis of bone microcirculatory endothelial cells from human samples is highly informative due to their relevance to the large number of expressed genes. Our study provides a very valuable basis for investigation of genes, regulation and their co-expression network contributing to hydrocortisone induced disorders. Two-condition experiment, hydrocortisone treated vs. untreated bone microcirculatory endothelial cells. Biological replicates: 8 control replicates, 8 treated replicates.
