Project description:Skeletal tissue is known to respond to mechanical stress. Ultrasound stimulation is one of mechanical stress and low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) devices have been clinically utilized to promote the fracture healing. However, it is still not clear which skeletal cells, especially osteocytes or osteoblasts, mainly respond to LIPUS stimulation and how they contribute to fracture healing. To examine that, we utilized medaka known to have bones without embedded osteocytes and zebrafish known to have bones with embedded osteocytes as an in vivo model. Interestingly, fracture healing was accelerated by ultrasound stimulation in zebrafish but not in medaka. To examine the molecular events induced by LIPUS stimulation in osteocyte, we performed RNA-sequencing with the murine long bone osteocyte Y4 (MLO-Y4) cell line exposed to LIPUS. 179 genes reacted to LIPUS stimulation and functional cluster analysis defined that several molecular signatures related in immunity, secretion and transcription. Especially, most of isolated transcription related genes were modulated by LIPUS also in vivo experiments using zebrafish. Target genes analysis showed that inflammatory response and bone formation in fracture healing could be transcriptionally regulated in osteocytes by LIPUS stimulation. Among these transcription genes, early growth response (Egr) 1,2, JunB, Forkhead box Q1 (FoxQ1) and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1 were not altered by LIPUS in medaka unlike zebrafish suggesting that these genes would be key transcriptional regulator of LIPUS-dependent fracture healing through osteocytes. In this study, we revealed bone-equipped osteocytes is necessary for LIPUS-induced promotion of fracture healing through the transcriptional control of target genes presumably to activate neighboring cells involved in fracture healing event.

Project description:Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been applied as a therapeutic adjunct to promote fracture healing. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which LIPUS promotes bone fracture healing have not yet been fully elucidated. In the present study, the early response genes elicited by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were investigated using GeneChip® oligonucleotide microarrays.

Project description:We performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes following low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment of cultured bone marrow cells under bone formation conditions, using cDNA microarray analysis Bone marrow cells were obtained from the femora of rats and were suspended in an osteogenic medium to make a cell culture. After cultures were established, test cultures were exposed to LIPUS via the base of the cell culture plates for 15 min/day on days 3–9 (LIPUS group). Control cultures (without LIPUS exposure) were otherwise treated identically to the LIPUS group. On day 10, total RNA was extracted from both sets of cultures and hybridized to microarray slides, the data sets were analysed. Markers for differentiated osteoblasts and osteocytes, as well as collagen-related genes, cell adhesion factors were up-regulated in LIPUS group on day 10. Gene expression in response to LIPUS treatment of bone marrow cells were measured on day 10 after cultures were established. Experiments were performed at each conditions (LIPUS or Control).

Project description:Therapeutic antibodies targeting immune checkpoints have shown limited efficacy in clinical trials in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Ultrasound-mediated blood-brain barrier opening (UMBO) using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound improved drug delivery to the brain. We explored the safety and the efficacy of UMBO plus immune checkpoint inhibitors in preclinical models of GBM. A Blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening was performed using a 1 MHz preclinical ultrasound system in combination with 10µl/g microbubbles. Brain penetration of immune checkpoint inhibitors was determined, and immune cell populations were evaluated using flow cytometry.The impact of repeated treatments on survival was determined. In syngeneic GL261-bearing immunocompetent mice, we showed that UMBO safely and repeatedly open the BBB. BBB opening was confirmed visually and microscopically using Evans’s blue dye and magnetic resonance imaging. UMBO plus anti-PDL-1 was associated with a significant improvement of the overall survival compared to anti-PD-L1 alone. Using mass spectroscopy, we showed that the penetration of therapeutic antibodies can be increased when delivered intravenously compared to non-sonicated brains. Furthermore, we observed an enhancement of activated microglia percentage when combined with anti-PD-L1. Here, we report that the combination of UMBO and anti-PD-L1 dramatically increases GL261-bearing mice's survival compared to their counterparts treated with anti-PD-L1 alone. Our study highlights the BBB as a limitation to overcome to increase the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 in GBM and supports clinical trials combining UMBO and in GBM patients.

Project description:Here, the effects of non-thermal low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the gene expression in human lymphoma U937 cells were investigated using by an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Six hours after LIPUS treatment (0.3 W/cm2 for 1 min), apoptosis (14±3.8%, mean±SD) with minimal cell lysis was observed. At 3 h post-treatment, LIPUS down-regulated 193 genes and up-regulated 201 genes by >1.5-fold. Experiment Overall Design: U937 cells, a human lymphoma cell line, were treated with low intensity pulsed ultrasound (0.3 W/cm2 for 1 min) and followed by incubation for 3 h at 37°C. Non-treated cells were served as control. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells. Gene expression was analyzed by an Affymetrix GeneChip® system with Human Expression Array U133A which was spotted with 22,283 probe sets. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufactureâs instructions.

Project description:The main reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis is the bone tissue where this pathogen can persist and form small colony variants for long periods within osteoblasts and osteocytes. Recently the osteocytes were described as a main reservoir for this pathogen in bone tissue. However, the mechanisms involved in the persistence of S. aureus within these cells are still unknown. Here we investigated the intrinsic relation between S. aureus and both bone cells during infection. The infection of osteoblasts and osteocytes by this pathogen generates the functional bifurcation of these cells into two different responders. Whereas osteoblasts are able to induce a strong antimicrobial respond, the osteocytes trigger signals to recruit immune cells and enhance the inflammation. Moreover, we found that extracellular signals from osteocytes enhance the intracellular bacterial clearance on osteoblasts but not on osteocytes. Even that both cells contain TLR2, the main toll receptor responsible of S. aureus recognition, only osteoblasts were able to increase its expression after infection. Although the expression of TLR2 was not altered in osteocytes, these cells secrete higher lipid mediators and cytokines than osteoblasts. In addition, we found by proteomic analysis that the reduced intracellular bacterial killing of osteocytes is related to a low expression of antimicrobial peptides and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in these cells. Our results suggest that osteocytes contribute to the high inflammation observed in osteomyelitis and at the same time, provide the main niche for S. aureus persistence due to their poor intracellular antimicrobial response. Collectively, these findings reveal the roles of bone cells upon S. aureus infection and provide new insight on the treatment failure of osteomyelitis.
