Cyclophilin D, regulator of the mitochondrial permeability transition, impacts bone development and fracture repair.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore (MPTP) and its key positive regulator, Cyclophilin D (CypD), control activity of cell oxidative metabolism important for differentiation of stem cells of various lineages including osteogenic lineage. Our previous work (Sautchuk et al., 2022) showed that CypD gene, Ppif, is transcriptionally repressed during osteogenic differentiation by regulatory Smad transcription factors in BMP canonical pathway, a major driver of osteoblast (OB) differentiation. Such a repression favors closure of the MPTP, priming OBs to higher usage of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. The physiological role of CypD/MPTP regulation was demonstrated by its inverse correlation with BMP signaling in aging and bone fracture healing in addition to the negative effect of CypD g
