The potential effect of BMSCs with miR-27a in improving steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

ABSTRACT: Steroid induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) frequently leads to femoral head collapse and subsequent hip arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic mechanism of miR-27a on steroid-induced ONFH. Levels of IL-6, TNF-α, miR-27a, Runx2, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were first examined in bone marrow tissues from steroid-induced ONFH and controls. Subsequently, we overexpressed or knocked down miR-27a in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and detected cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, adipogenic differentiation. In addition, miR-27a mimics and BMSCs were injected into the established steroid-induced ONFH rats, and the osteoprotective effects of both were evaluated. Dual luciferase reporter was used to test the targeting effect of miR-27a-3p and PPARG. miR-27a and Runx2 were lowly expressed in steroid-induced ONFH, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were highly expressed. Overexpression of miR-27a in BMSCs promoted cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, inhibited adipogenic differentiation. Furthermore, increasing miR-27a and BMSCs obviously reduced bone loss in steroid induced ONFH rats. The expressions of Runx2 in BMSCs and steroid-induced ONFH rats was significantly up-regulated, while IL-6, TNF-α, PPAR-γ and ApoA5 were down-regulated with miR-27a overexpression. Additionally, PPARG was the target of miR-27a-3p. The results of the present study reveal a role for miR-27a in promoting osteogenesis and may have a synergistic effect with BMSCs.

Project description:PurposeSteroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory orthopedic hip disease occurring in young and middle-aged people, with glucocorticoids being the most common cause. Previous experimental studies have shown that cell pyroptosis may be involved in the pathological process of SONFH, but its pathogenesis in SONFH is still unclear. This study aims to screen and validate potential pyroptosis-related genes in SONFH diagnosis by bioinformatics analysis to further elucidate the mechanism of pyroptosis in SONFH.MethodsThere were 33 pyroptosis-related genes obtained from the prior reviews. The mRNA expression was downloaded from GSE123568 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 10 non-SONFH (following steroid administration) samples and 30 SONFH samples. The pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified with "affy" and "limma" R package by intersecting the GSE123568 dataset with pyroptosis genes. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were conducted by "clusterProfiler" R package and visualized by "GOplot" R package. Then, the correlations between the expression levels of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were confirmed with "corrplot" R package. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was analysed by using GeneMANIA database. Next, The ROC curve of pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were analyzed by "pROC" R package.ResultsA total of 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were identified between the peripheral blood samples of SONFH patients and non-SONFH patients based on the defined criteria, including 20 upregulated genes and 10 downregulated genes. The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that these 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were particularly enriched in cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process, positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta secretion and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among the 10 differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes involved in SONFH. The PPI results demonstrated that the 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes interacted with each other. Compared to non-SONFH samples, these pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes had good predictive diagnostic efficacy (AUC = 1.000, CI = 1.000-1.000) in the SONFH samples, and NLRP1 had the highest diagnostic value (AUC: 0.953) in the SONFH samples.ConclusionsThere were 10 potential pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified via bioinformatics analysis, which might serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers because they regulated pyroptosis. These results expand the understanding of SONFH associated with pyroptosis and provide new insights to further explore the mechanism of action and diagnosis of pyroptosis associated in SONFH.

Project description:Femoral head collapse is a key reference point for determining a treatment regimen of femoral head osteonecrosis. However, there are no effective preventive measures and the efficacy of hip-preserving surgery is unsatisfactory due to the unclear mechanism of collapse. This study aimed to identify and validate miRNAs differentially expressed in collapse and non-collapse areas of the osteonecrotic femoral head, and to predict the target genes and pathways of these miRNAs.Nine samples passed the quality control test. A total of 2085 differentially expressed miRNAs were detected, among which 433 miRNAs showed differential expression in the T1 group compared to the W1 group; 344 miRNAs showed differential expression in the T2 group compared to the W2 group; 107 miRNAs showed differential expression in the T3 group compared to the W3 group. After combining data from all three patients, 10 miRNAs showed differential expression in the collapse area (T1+T2+T3) compared to the non-collapse area (W1+W2+W3). Compared to the normal area, has-miR-195-5p showed the most significant downregulation. Expression results from RT-PCR revealed that the expression of hsa-miR-195-5p in the collapse area (T1+T2+T3) was significantly lower than that in the non-collapse area (W1+W2+W3) and normal area (Z1+Z2+Z3). 157 genes were perdicted as the target gene of hsa-miR-195-5p.Femoral heads of three patients (2 males and 1 female) treated by total hip arthroplasty surgery for steroid-induced femoral head osteonecrosis were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Bone tissue samples were obtained from the collapse area (T), non-collapse area (W), and normal area (Z) according to the anatomical structure of osteonecrotic femoral heads. Total RNA was extracted from the samples and the microarray chip was scanned. miRNAs showing differential expressions of more than 1.5-fold were selected and was validated by RT-PCR. TargetScan, mirBase and miRanda bioinformatics software was used to predict target genes and identify possible pathways involving these genes.miR-195-5p showed the most significant difference in the collapse area of osteonecrotic femoral heads, suggesting that collapse may be related to the downregulation of miR-195-5p.
