Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are master regulators of gene expression and have recently emerged as potential innovative therapeutic targets. The deregulation of lncRNA expression patterns has been associated with age-related and noncommunicable diseases, including osteoporosis and bone tumors. However, the specific role of lncRNAs in physiological or pathological conditions in the bone tissue still needs to be further clarified, for their exploitation as therapeutic tools. In the present study, we evaluate the potential of the lncRNA CASC2 as a regulator of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. Results show that CASC2 expression is decreased during osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal cells (MSCs). CASC2 knockdown using small interfering RNA (siCASC2) increases the expression of the late osteogenic marker Bone Sialoprotein (BSP), but does not impact ALP staining levels, or the expression of early osteogenic transcripts including RUNX2 and OPG. Although siCASC2 does not impact hMSC proliferation nor apoptosis, it promotes the mineralization of hMSC cultured under osteogenic-inducing conditions, as shown by the increase of calcium deposits. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis revealed that 89 proteins are regulated by CASC2 at late osteogenic stages, including proteins associated with bone diseases or anthropometric and musculoskeletal traits. Specifically, the Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) is highly enhanced by CASC2 knockdown at late stages of osteogenic differentiation, at either transcriptional and protein level. Inhibition of COMP impairs osteoblasts mineralization as well as the expression of BSP levels. The results indicate that lncRNA CASC2 regulates late osteogenesis and mineralization in hMSC via COMP and BSP. In conclusion, this study suggests lncRNA CASC2 as a potential new therapeutic target in bone mineralization.

Project description:Genome wide gene expression was determined in paired samples of OA affected and preserved cartilage of the same joint using microarray analysis for 33 patients of the RAAK-study. Among the 1717 genes that were significantly different expressed between OA affected and preserved cartilage we found significant enrichment for genes involved in skeletal development (e.g. TNFRSF11B and FRZB). Also several inflammatory genes such as CD55, PTGES and TNFAIP6, previously identified in within-joint analyses as well as in analyses comparing preserved cartilage from OA affected joints versus healthy cartilage were among the top genes. A notable new gene was NGF, highly up-regulated in OA cartilage. To identify gene expression profiles associated with OA processes in articular cartilage and determine pathways responsive to the disease process gene expression profiles of paired preserved and OA affected cartilage samples of the same joint were determined.

Project description:We report the application of next generation sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of mRNA, circRNA and lncRNA in hFOB 1.19 cells during the mineralization. Osteoblast RNA profiles in different process of mineralization, which is day 0, day 3, day 6 and day 9, respectively. The transcriptome sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform were carried out at Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. In the process of osteoblast mineralization, a total of 8464 dysregulated circRNAs were identified, of which 6332 circRNAs were upregulated and 2132 circRNAs were downregulated. In addition, 1633 differentially expressed mRNAs were also identified, with 1027 mRNAs upregulated and 606 mRNAs downregulated. This study provides a framework for the application of NGS profiling towards characterization of osteoblast mineraliztion.

Project description:In the present study, the Agilent-016251 Sparus aurata oligo microarray platform (GPL6467) was used to compare expression profiles of mineralization-induced VSa13 cell cultures against untreated ones. ECM mineralization was induced for 4 weeks by supplementing medium with 50 µg/ml of L-ascorbic acid, 10 mM β glycerophosphate and 4 mM CaCl2. For each group, total RNA was extracted from three (3) independent biological replicates, each consisting of pools of cells. Data analysis demonstrated that expression profiles were strongly affected by ECM mineralization with hundreds of genes differentially expressed with relevant fold-change.

Project description:We used gene array analysis of cortical bone to identify Phex-dependent gene transcripts regulating Fgf23 production and mineralization in Hyp mice. We discovered that activation of Fgf receptor- and Wnt-pathways contribute to increased Ffg23 gene transcription in Hyp bone. We found evidence in Hyp bone for increased expression of Fgf1, Fgf7, and Egr2 in the Fgf-signaling pathway and decrements in Sost and Cpz and increments in Sfrp1 and 4 in the Wnt-signaling pathway. Moreover, activation of Fgf and Wnt-signaling stimulated, whereas Tgf β inhibited Fgf23 promoter activity in osteoblasts. We also observed reductions in Bmp1, a metalloproteinase that metabolizes the Fgf23 regulatory extracellular matrix protein Dmp1. These findings suggest that elevation of Fgf23 expression in osteocytes is regulated by interactions between cell surface expression of Phex, extracellular matrix proteins and paracrine effects of Fgf and Wnt. Alterations were also found in enzymes regulating the posttranslational processing and stability of Fgf23, including decrements in the glycosyltransferase Galnt3 and the proprotein convertase Pcsk5. In addition, we found that the Pcsk5 and the glycosyltransferase Galnt3 were decreased in Hyp bone, suggesting that reduced post-translational processing of FGF23 may also contribute to increased Fgf23 levels in Hyp mice. With regards to mineralization, we identified additional candidates to explain the intrinsic mineralization defect in Hyp osteoblasts, including increases in the mineralization inhibitors Mgp and Thbs4, as well as increases in local pH altering factors, carbonic anhydrase 12 (Car12) and 3 (Car3) and the sodium-dependent citrate transporter (Slc13a5). These studies demonstrate the complexity of gene expression alterations in bone that accompanies inactivating Phex mutations and identify novel pathways that may coordinate Fgf23 expression and mineralization of extracellular matrix in Hyp bone. We isolated total RNAs from long bones of both WT and Hyp mice at 12 days of age. Since the RNA yields from the long bones are very low, we combined 2 bone samples with same genotype (WT or Hyp) for one RNA extraction. We will compare the difference of the gene expressions between Hyp and WT. We will use 4 samples in each animal condition.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare (RNA-seq) transcriptomes of in vitro cultured human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and fallow deer antler-derived skeletal progenitors (FD RM Cells) under multiple conditions to identify candidate proliferation and mineralization genes responsible for fast antler regeneration Methods: hMSCs and FD RM Cells were cultured in vitro under 1) serum-free (0% serum) or serum (10% serum) conditions for 2.5 days or 2) Control (0 ng/mL BMP-2 and 0 nM dexamethasone) and osteogenic (100 ng/mL BMP-2 and 100 nM dexamethasone) media for 24 days. mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads were analyzed at the transcript isoform level STARS followed by Cufflinks. Validation for genes of interest was performed using immunofluorescence staining. Results: Comparison of human and fallow deer skeletal progenitor datasets yielded proliferation and mineralization gene candidates Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of human and fallow deer transcriptomes of skeletal progenitor cells under proliferation and mineralization conditions, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Our in vitro comparative approach circumvent some of the logistical and technical challenges in identifying candidate proliferation and mineralization genes responsible for rapid deer antler regeneration. We conclude that in vitro comparison of RNA-seq based transcriptomes identified candidate proliferaiton and mineralization genes to advance bone biology and holds promise to rapidly regenerate large bone volumes for regenerative medicine. The comparative approach utilized here can be adapted for almost any tissue to study a specific phenomenon of interest.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage loss, bone remodeling, synovial inflammation, and significant joint pain, often resulting in disability. Injury to the synovial joint such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the major cause of OA in young adults. Currently, there are no approved therapies available to prevent joint degeneration or rebuild articular cartilage destroyed by OA, primarily because our understanding of the cellular and molecular changes that contribute to joint damage is very limited. The synovial joint is a complex structure composed of several tissues including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium, synovial fluid, and tensile tissues including tendons and ligaments. In the present study, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we examined the cellular heterogeneity in articular cartilage from mouse knee joints and determined the knee joint injury-induced early molecular changes in the chondrocytes that could contribute to OA.
