Article Abstract
Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, participates in a variety of biological processes in maintaining bone homeostasis. As the most abundant cells in bones of the mammals, osteocytes play an essential role in bone formation, remodeling, and bone mass maintenance. Here, by exposing MLO-Y4 osteocytes to the fluid shear stress (FSS) microenvironment, we explored the effect of Piezo1-mediated FSS on the expression of the molecules critical to the process of bone formation and resorption, Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG). It was found that 9 dyne/cm loading for 30 minutes showed an upregulation trend on Piezo1 when MLO-Y4 osteocytes were exposed to an FSS microenvironment. FSS promotes the expression of OPG and inhibits the expression of RANKL. The blocker of Piezo1, GsMTx4, downregulates the effect of FSS on the expression of these two molecules. In addition, NOTCH3 was involved in this process. Thus, the results demonstrated that Piezo1-mediated FSS promotes the expression of OPG and inhibits the expression of RANKL via NOTCH3 in MLO-Y4 osteocytes.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism by which histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) regulates steroid-induced apoptosis of mouse osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells.
Methods: MLY-O4 cells were treated with 400 nmol/L trichostatin A (TSA) or 1 mmol/L dexamethasone for 24 h or transfected with a HDAC1-overexpressing vector prior to TSA or dexamethasone treatment. The changes in the expressions of HDAC1, SP1, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, SP1 acetylation level, cell proliferation, and cell apoptosis were examined.

Background: Osteocytes are crucial for detecting mechanical stimuli and translating them into biochemical responses within the bone. The primary cilium, a cellular 'antenna,' plays a vital role in this process. However, there is a lack of direct correlation between cilium length changes and osteocyte mechanosensitivity changes.

Osteocytes are located in the lacunae of fluid-filled bone and communicate with neighboring or distant cells by secreting small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) and growth factors as well as via dendrite-dendrite direct connections. However, the mechanism regulating sEV production in osteocytes is yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated sEV production and its underlying mechanism in osteocytes cultured on a three dimensional (3D) scaffold.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a mechanosensitive protein crucial for bone remodeling. Although research has identified pathways and components involved in YAP regulation, the precise mechanisms of its localization during Piezo1 activation or vibration remain unclear. Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, allows calcium ions to flow into cells upon activation.
