Nobiletin, a NF-κB signaling antagonist, promotes BMP-induced bone formation.

ABSTRACT: The NF-κB family of transcription factors plays an important role in skeletal development and bone homeostasis. In osteoblast cells, NF-κB signaling has been shown to suppress survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Furthermore, pharmacological suppression of NF-κB enhances osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Thus, NF-κB antagonists are promising candidates as anabolic agents for enhancing bone mass. In this study, we describe the mechanism by which nobiletin, an inhibitor of NF-κB activity, regulates osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. We found that in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells, nobiletin inhibited a TNF-α responsive NF-κB luciferase reporter and also decreased the induction of classical NF-κB target genes by TNF-α. Consistent with this, nobiletin prevented TNF-α -mediated suppression of osteogenesis and potently enhanced the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Likewise, in an in vivo BMP2-induced ectopic bone formation assay, nobiletin markedly enhanced ossicle bone volume. Western blotting and SMAD-responsive luciferase assays also demonstrated that NF-κB suppression of BMP signaling could be inhibited by nobiletin. Thus, our data suggest that mechanistically, nobiletin prevents the endogenous repression of BMP signaling by TNF-α, thereby enhancing osteoblast activity. In conclusion, nobiletin is a novel NF-κB antagonist that may be a useful anabolic agent for bone formation.

Project description:Recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2)-loaded absorbable collagen sponges (ACS) have been successfully used to enhance bone formation and to induce spinal fusion in humans. However, side effects, such as soft tissue edema and inflammation, have been reported. NEMO binding domain peptide (NBD) inhibits activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), a central regulator of immune response. In this study, we investigated NBD's potential to reduce BMP-2-induced soft tissue inflammation without affecting BMP-2-mediated spinal fusion in rat. For evaluation of soft tissue inflammation, ACS containing BMP-2, BMP-2+NBD, NBD, or ACS only were implanted into intramuscular paraspinal sites of 32 rats. At day 2 postsurgery, edema formation at the implant sites was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging. T2-weighted relaxation time (T2-RT) values were increased in the BMP-2 group compared with BMP-2+NBD, NBD, and ACS groups. No difference in T2-RT values was detected between BMP-2+NBD versus NBD and ACS controls. Postsacrifice, histological analysis of the implant-surrounding zones showed increased mononuclear cell infiltration in the BMP-2 group compared with BMP-2+NBD and controls. The presence of BMP-2 increased relative NF-κB binding and gene expression of inflammatory markers, interleukin (IL)1β, IL6, IL18, and chemokine ligand (CCL)2 and CCL3 compared with controls. In the BMP-2+NBD group, cytokine expression was blocked. No differences were found between BMP-2+NBD and control groups. For evaluation of spinal fusion, posterolateral intertransverse lumbar fusion procedures were performed on 16 rats. ACS were loaded with BMP-2 or BMP-2+NBD. After sacrifice at week 12, microcomputed tomographic assessment of the fusion site detected a higher bone volume and reduced trabecular spacing in the BMP-2+NBD group compared with BMP-2. Histological analysis did not show any differences in newly formed bone microarchitecture. In summary, addition of NBD to BMP-2-loaded ACS reduces BMP-2-induced soft tissue edema formation and mononuclear cell infiltration, diminishes NF-κB binding, and thus blocks transcription of NF-κB-regulated cytokines in rat. Furthermore, NBD stimulates bone formation in BMP-2-mediated spinal fusion, possibly through crosstalk of the NF-κB pathway with other pathways. The results of this study might provide the basis to develop new therapeutic bone grafting approaches with combinatory administration of BMP-2 and NBD for spinal fusion.

Project description:BackgroundClinically, prostate cancer (PCa) exhibits a high avidity to metastasize to bone. miR-141-3p is an extensively studied miRNA in cancers and downregulation of miR-141-3p has been widely reported to be involved in the progression and metastasis of several human cancer types. However, the clinical significance and biological roles of miR-141-3p in bone metastasis of PCa are still unclear.MethodsmiR-141-3p expression was examined in 89 non-bone metastatic and 52 bone metastatic PCa tissues by real-time PCR. Statistical analysis was performed to investigate the clinical correlation between miR-141-3p expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics in PCa patients. The biological roles of miR-141-3p in bone metastasis of PCa were evaluated both in vitro and a mouse intracardial model in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis, Western blot, luciferase reporter and miRNA immunoprecipitation assays were performed to explore and examine the relationship between miR-141-3p and its potential targets. Clinical correlation of miR-141-3p with its targets was examined in clinical PCa tissues.ResultsmiR-141-3p expression is reduced in bone metastatic PCa tissues compared with non-bone metastatic PCa tissues. Low expression of miR-141-3p positively correlates with serum PSA levels, Gleason grade and bone metastasis status in PCa patients. Furthermore, upregulating miR-141-3p suppresses the EMT, invasion and migration of PCa cells in vitro. Conversely, silencing miR-141-3p yields an opposite effect. Importantly, upregulating miR-141-3p dramatically reduces bone metastasis of PC-3 cells in vivo. Our results further show that miR-141-3p inhibits the activation of NF-κB signaling via directly targeting tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 5(TRAF5) and 6 (TRAF6), which further suppresses invasion, migration and bone metastasis of PCa cells. The clinical negative correlation of miR-141-3p expression with TRAF5, TRAF6 and NF-κB signaling activity is demonstrated in PCa tissues.ConclusionOur findings unravel a novel mechanism underlying the bone metastasis of PCa, suggesting that miR-141-3p mimics might represent a potential therapeutic avenue for the treatment of PCa bone metastasis.
