Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is known to accelerate bone regeneration, but the precise cellular mechanism is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of LIPUS on the differentiation of pluripotent mesenchymal cell line C2C12. The cells were cultured in differentiation medium with or without the addition of LIPUS stimulation. The ultrasound signal consisted of 1.5 MHz at an intensity of 70 mW/cm2 for 20 min for all cultures. To verify the cell lineage after LIPUS stimulation, mRNA expression of cellular phenotype-specific markers characterizing osteoblasts (Runx2, Msx2, Dlx5, AJ18), chondroblasts (Sox9), myoblasts (MyoD), and adipocytes (C/EBP, PPARgamma) was studied using real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. The protein expression of Runx2 and activated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) were performed using Western blotting. The mRNA expression of Runx2, Msx2, Dlx5, AJ18, and Sox9 was increased markedly by the LIPUS stimulation, whereas the expression of MyoD, C/EBP, and PPARgamma was drastically decreased. In the Western blot analysis, LIPUS stimulation increased Runx2 protein expression and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK. Our study demonstrated that LIPUS stimulation converts the differentiation pathway of C2C12 cells into the osteoblast and/or chondroblast lineage via activated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK. 相似文献

When C2C12 pluripotent mesenchymal precursor cells are treated with transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1), terminal differentiation into myotubes is blocked. Treatment with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) not only blocks myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells but also induces osteoblast differentiation. The molecular mechanisms governing the ability of TGF-beta1 and BMP-2 to both induce ligand-specific responses and inhibit myogenic differentiation are not known. We identified Runx2/PEBP2alphaA/Cbfa1, a global regulator of osteogenesis, as a major TGF-beta1-responsive element binding protein induced by TGF-beta1 and BMP-2 in C2C12 cells. Consistent with the observation that Runx2 can be induced by either TGF-beta1 or BMP-2, the exogenous expression of Runx2 mediated some of the effects of TGF-beta1 and BMP-2 but not osteoblast-specific gene expression. Runx2 mimicked common effects of TGF-beta1 and BMP-2 by inducing expression of matrix gene products (for example, collagen and fibronectin), suppressing MyoD expression, and inhibiting myotube formation of C2C12 cells. For osteoblast differentiation, an additional effector, BMP-specific Smad protein, was required. Our results indicate that Runx2 is a major target gene shared by TGF-beta and BMP signaling pathways and that the coordinated action of Runx2 and BMP-activated Smads leads to the induction of osteoblast-specific gene expression in C2C12 cells. 相似文献

Adenovirus-mediated transfer of siRNA against Runx2/Cbfa1 inhibits the formation of heterotopic ossification in animal model 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The heterotopic ossification of muscles, tendons, and ligaments is a common problem faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Runx2/Cbfa1 plays an essential role during the osteoblast differentiation and is considered as a molecular switch in osteoblast biology. RNA interference technology is a powerful tool for silencing endogenous or exogenous genes in mammalian cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of Runx2/Cbfa1-specific siRNA on osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in osteoblastic cells, and then constructed adenovirus containing siRNA against Runx2/Cbfa1 (Ad-Runx2-siRNA) to inhibit the formation of heterotopic ossification induced by BMP4, demineralized bone matrix, and trauma in animal model. Our results showed that the Runx2/Cbfa1-specific siRNA could inhibit the expression of Runx2/Cbfa1 at the level of mRNA and protein. Analysis of the expression of osteoblast maturation genes including type I collagen, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization (von kossa) revealed that osteoblast differentiation was inhibited in cultured primary mouse osteoblasts transduced with Ad-Runx2-siRNA. Furthermore, adenovirus-mediated transfer of siRNA against Runx2/Cbfa1 could inhibit the formation of heterotopic ossification induced by BMP4, demineralized bone matrix, and trauma in animal model. It is likely that the inhibition of Runx2/Cbfa1 by RNAi could be developed as a powerful approach to prevent or treat heterotopic ossification. 相似文献

As a super-antigen, staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2) stimulates the release of massive inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) which are documented to implicate osteoblast differentiation. In the present study, SEC2 was found to significantly improve the osteoblast differentiation by up-regulating BMP2 and Runx2/Cbfa1 expression. Interferon (IFN)-inducible gene IFI16, a co-activator of Runx2/Cbfa1, was also activated by SEC2 in the osteoblast differentiation. In addition, exogenous introduction of SEC2 stimulated OPG expression and suppressed RANKL, suggesting suppression of osteoclastogenesis in hMSCs. Therefore, our results displayed that SEC2 plays an important role in the commitment of MSC to the osteoblast and it might be a potential new therapeutic candidate for bone regeneration. 相似文献

Effects of compressive force on the differentiation of pluripotent mesenchymal cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mechanical stress on the differentiation of the pluripotent mesenchymal cell line C2C12. C2C12 cells were cultured continuously under compressive force (0.25-2.0 g/cm(2)). After mechanical stress loading, the levels of expression of mRNAs and proteins for phenotype-specific markers of osteoblasts (Runx2, Msx2, Dlx5, Osterix, AJ18), chondroblasts (Sox5, Sox9), myoblasts (MyoD), and adipocytes (PPAR gamma) were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis and Western blot analysis, respectively. The expression of activated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) was measured by Western blotting and/or ELISA. Loading 0.5 g/cm(2) of compressive force significantly increased the expression levels of Runx2, Msx2, Dlx5, Osterix, Sox5, and Sox9. In contrast, the expression levels of AJ18, MyoD, and PPAR gamma were decreased by exposure to 0.5 g/cm(2) of compressive force. Loading 0.5 g/cm(2) of compressive force also induced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. SB203580, which is a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, inhibited the compressive force-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and partially blocked compressive force-induced Runx2 mRNA expression. These results demonstrate that compressive force stimulation directs the differentiation pathway of C2C12 cells into the osteoblast and chondroblast lineage via activated phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. 相似文献

Ghrelin is a 28‐residue peptide identified in the stomach as an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor that is expressed in a variety of peripheral tissues, as well as in the brain. In previous studies, ghrelin has been shown to stimulate both adipogenic differentiation from preadipocytes and osteogenic differentiation from preosteoblasts or primary osteoblasts. This study was undertaken to investigate the direct effect of ghrelin on the lineage allocation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We identified ghrelin receptor mRNA in C3H10T1/2 cells, and we found the levels of this mRNA to be attenuated during osteogenic differentiation. Treatment of cells with ghrelin resulted in both proliferation and inhibition of caspase‐3 activity. In addition, ghrelin decreased serum deprivation‐induced bax protein expression and release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, whereas it increased bcl‐2 protein expression. Moreover, ghrelin inhibited early osteogenic differentiation, as shown by alkaline phosphatase activity and staining, and inhibited osteoblast‐specific genes expression by altering Runx2, PPARγ, and C/EBPα protein expression.
