GATA4 has been reported to act as a negative regulator in osteoblast differentiation by inhibiting the Dlx5 transactivation of Runx2 via the attenuation of the binding ability of Dlx5 to the Runx2 promoter region. Here, we determine the role of GATA4 in the regulation of bone sialoprotein (Bsp) in osteoblasts. We observed that the overexpression of Runx2 or Sox9 induced the Bsp expression in osteoblastic cells. Silencing GATA4 further enhanced the Runx2- and Sox9-mediated Bsp promoter activity, whereas GATA4 overexpression down-regulated Bsp promoter activity mediated by Runx2 and Sox9. GATA4 also interacted with Runx2 and Sox9, by attenuating the binding ability of Runx2 and Sox9 to the Bsp promoter region. Our data suggest that GATA4 acts as a negative regulator of Bsp expression in osteoblasts. [BMB Reports 2016; 49(6): 343-348].

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of synovial fluid as it plays a crucial role in joint physiology. Its biological activity is influenced by molecular weight, local concentration, and persistence in joints. High-molecular-weight HA has a consolidated history of clinical use, whereas little is known about the metabolic effect of low-molecular-weight hyaluronate on cartilage differentiation.

Zinc is the second most abundant trace element in the human body, stored mainly in the bones. Zinc is required for bone growth and homeostasis and is also a crucial cofactor for numerous proteins that play key roles in maintaining microstructural integrity and bone remodeling. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent progenitors found in the bone marrow stroma and can differentiate along multiple lineage pathways.

Purpose: In cartilage research, three-dimensional (3D) culture models are pivotal for assessing chondrogenic differentiation potential. Standard pellet cultures, despite their utility, pose challenges like uneven differentiation and handling difficulties. This study explores the use of Matrigel, an extracellular matrix-based hydrogel, to encapsulate fibronectin adhesion assay-derived chondroprogenitors (FAA-CPs) and evaluate their chondrogenic differentiation potential.

Bioreactor can provide a dynamic culture environment for the in vitro construction of osteochondral tissue engineering. They facilitate more efficient exchange of nutrients and provide mechanical and other beneficial stimulation. Previous findings demonstrated that rotary flask (RF) bioreactor, rotary cell culture system (RCCS), or electromagnetic field (EMF) mediated scaffold culture could create a favorable dynamic environment for osteochondral tissue engineering.

Article Synopsis
- Rotator cuff injuries cause ongoing pain and limited function, often due to retears and scar tissue at the site where tendons attach to bone (enthesis).
- This study investigates new electrohydrodynamic-printed microfibrous scaffolds (DTSs) made of polycaprolactone mixed with nanoparticles, which show effective stem cell support and enhanced markers for tendon and bone development in lab tests.
- In animal tests, these scaffolds improve the strength of the tendon-bone connection and regulate important phospholipids, suggesting they could lead to better healing outcomes for rotator cuff injuries and pave the way for more tailored treatment options.
