Toxoplasma gondii excretory/secretory proteins promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via aerobic glycolysis mediated by Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Toxoplasma gondii excretory/secretory proteins (TgESPs) are a group of proteins secreted by the parasite and have an important role in the interaction between the host and Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). They can participate in various biological processes in different cells and regulate cellular energy metabolism. However, the effect of TgESPs on energy metabolism and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has remained elusive. In the present study, TgESPs were extracted from the T. gondii RH strain and used to treat BMSCs to observe the effect of TgESPs on energy metabolism and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and to explore the molecular mechanisms involved. The osteogenic differentiation and energy metabolism of BMSCs were
