Project description:we analyzed the expression level change of transcription factors in adipose derived stem cells during osteogenic differentiation and found a candidate target gene, Sox11. We defined that Sox11 suppresses osteogenic differentiation through overexpression and knock down of Sox11. total RNA obtained from adipose derived stem cells subjected to 1,3,6,10 or 14 days in osteogenic differentiation compared to undifferentiated control adipose derived stem cells.

Project description:Adipose tissue harbours a significant number of multipotent adult stem cells of mesenchymal origin known as adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Broad differentiation potential and convenient accessibility of ADSCs make them an attractive source of adult mesenchymal stem cell for regenerative medicine and cell developmental plasticity research. Genome-wide microarray expression profiling was performed to identify genes deregulated during osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs to evaluate developmental plasticity of these cells. Dynamics of epigenetic modifications were analyzed in parallel and associated with the gene expression profile. Gene expression profile was analyzed in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) differentiated into osteogenic lineage from 3 donors and compared to undifferentiated cells from the same donors.
Project description:Background: Gout is an inflammatory arthritis associated with increased bone anabolism and a higher risk of ectopic bone formation. Colchicine, used to prevent and treat acute gouty flares, inhibits microtubule polymerization and has been described to promote osteoblastogenesis. In bone disorders such as osteoporosis, disruption of the osteoblast–adipocyte balance contributes to pathology, yet no therapies directly target bone marrow adiposity. Thus, we decided to investigate the impact of colchicine on the osteoblast-adipocyte balance. Methods: C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells were differentiated to both cell fates in the presence or absence of colchicine. Differentiation was assessed by studying differentiation phenotypes, as well as adipocytic and osteoblastic marker genes. Disrupting microtubule homeostasis through stathmin (STMN1) silencing was employed to mimic colchicine effects on differentiation. Proteomic analysis was performed to gain further insight into colchicine’s effects on adipogenesis. Results: Colchicine promoted transcriptional changes consistent with osteoblastogenic commitment and inhibited adipogenesis, as evidenced by reduced intracellular lipid accumulation and downregulation of adipogenic marker genes. These effects were observed following both continuous and transient exposure (median fold-change across adipogenic markers 0.41 and 0.59, respectively). Consistent with colchicine-induced microtubules destabilization, microtubule disruption by STMN1 silencing also suppressed adipogenic differentiation (median fold-change = 0.66), suggesting that colchicine’s anti-adipogenic effect may be due to its impact on the cytoskeleton. Conclusions: These findings indicate that colchicine can suppress adipogenic differentiation while favouring osteoblast commitment in mesenchymal stem cells. Although further validation in relevant preclinical models required, its efficacy following transient exposure supports the exploration of site-specific strategies that limit systemic toxicity.
Project description:In order to investigate, at the mRNA level, the signaling pathways through which triiodothyronine (T3) affects osteoblast function, human mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue were subjected to a pre-established osteoinduction protocol, resulting in osteoblast-like cells, which were cultured with or without T3. RNA-Seq was performed using Illumina platform, and differential gene expression was assessed with DESeq2. Among differentially expressed genes, enrichment analysis was performed for biological processes against the Gene Ontology Consortium database, using both ClusterProfiler R package and STRING.
