AI Article Synopsis

  • The research explores the role and mechanism of miR-223-3p in osteoporosis, focusing on its effects on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation.
  • MiR-223-3p levels were found to decrease during the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and its increase negatively affected their ability to differentiate into bone-forming cells.
  • The study identifies FHL1 as a target of miR-223-3p, which, when overexpressed, can reverse the inhibitory effects of miR-223-3p, suggesting a regulatory role in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway involved in BMSC osteogenic differentiation.

Article Abstract

The aim of this research was to unveil the potential along with potential mechanism of miR-223-3p in osteoporosis. RT-qPCR together with western blot was implemented to examine miR-223-3p, FHL1, along with osteogenic markers levels during bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation. The ALP activity staining along with alizarin red staining (ARS) were implemented to assess ALP activity as well as the mineralization ability of BMSCs. Binding sequences for miR-223-3p and FHL1 from starBase website were validated through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. MiR-223-3p was down-regulated in BMSCs during osteoblasts differentiation, and miR-223-3p elevation hindered BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation. FHL1 belonged to the target mRNA of miR-223-3p. FHL1 presented up-regulation in BMSCs during osteoblasts differentiation. More importantly, FHL1 expression was negative modulated by miR-223-3p in BMSCs during osteoblasts differentiation, and FHL1 elevation could inverse the inhibited BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation modulated by miR-223-3p elevation. Furthermore, miR-223-3p elevation repressed the Wnt/β-catenin pathway activity in lithium chloride-treated BMSCs, and FHL1 overexpression counteracted the inhibitory effect of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway caused by miR-223-3p up-regulation. Collectively, miR-223-3p accelerates osteoporosis progression by repressing osteogenic differentiation through targeting FHL1/Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

LIPUS promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs and osseointegration of dental implants by regulating ITGA11 and focal adhesion pathway.

BMC Oral Health

Beijing Institute of Dental Research, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.

Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

The imbalance of redox homeostasis, especially the abnormal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a key obstacle in the bone repair process. Therefore, developing materials capable of scavenging ROS and modulating the microenvironment of bone defects is crucial for promoting bone repair. In this study, to endow poly(amino acids) (PAA) and its composites with anti-oxidative stress properties and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, we designed and prepared a calcium sulfate/calcium hydrogen phosphate/poly(amino acids) (PCDM) composite material with a thioether structure (-S-) in the molecular chain of PAA matrix through situ polymerization and physical blending method.

Aims: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) exhibit an enormous potential to regenerate periodontal tissue. However, their translatability to the clinical setting is constrained by technical difficulties in standardizing culture conditions. The aim was to assess complex culture conditions using a proteomic-based protocol to standardize multi-layer hPDLSC cultivation methodology.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

Lateral Meningocele Syndrome (LMS), a disorder associated with NOTCH3 pathogenic variants, presents with neurological, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. Mouse models of the disease exhibit osteopenia that is ameliorated by the administration of Notch3 antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting either Notch3 or the Notch3 mutation. To determine the consequences of LMS pathogenic variants in human cells and whether they can be targeted by ASOs, induced pluripotent NCRM1 and NCRM5 stem (iPS) cells harboring a NOTCH36692-93insC insertion were created.
