Neural Peptide α-CGRP Coregulated Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis via Promoting the Cross-Talk between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Endothelial Cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coupled vascularization and bone remodeling are key steps during bone healing, during which the cross-talk between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial cells plays vital roles. Evidence indicates the well-characterized neuropeptide Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide-α (CGRP) is proven to play an important role during bone regeneration. However, the regulatory effects of αCGRP on angiogenesis and osteogenesis, as well as underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms, remain unclear.

Aim

The present study was performed to verify the availability of the CGRP for osteogenic capacity in MSCs and explore its potential underlying molecular mechanism. After that, the promoted angiogenic effect of CGRP as well as its underlying mechanisms was studied
