Canonical BMP and Wnt signaling pathways play critical roles in regulation of osteoblast function and bone formation. Recent studies demonstrate that BMP‐2 acts synergistically with β‐catenin to promote osteoblast differentiation. To determine the molecular mechanisms of the signaling cross‐talk between canonical BMP and Wnt signaling pathways, we have used primary osteoblasts and osteoblast precursor cell lines 2T3 and MC3T3‐E1 cells to investigate the effect of BMP‐2 on β‐catenin signaling. We found that BMP‐2 stimulates Lrp5 expression and inhibits the expression of β‐TrCP, the F‐box E3 ligase responsible for β‐catenin degradation and subsequently increases β‐catenin protein levels in osteoblasts. In vitro deletion of the β‐catenin gene inhibits osteoblast proliferation and alters osteoblast differentiation and reduces the responsiveness of osteoblasts to the BMP‐2 treatment. These findings suggest that BMP‐2 may regulate osteoblast function in part through modulation of the β‐catenin signaling. J. Cell. Biochem. 108: 896–905, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The Wnt/β‐catenin pathway has been implicated in leukemogenesis. We found β‐catenin abnormally accumulated in both human acute T cell leukemia Jurkat cells and human erythroleukemia HEL cells. β‐Catenin can be significantly down‐regulated by the Janus kinase 2 specific inhibitor AG490 in these two cells. AG490 also reduces the luciferase activity of a reporter plasmid driven by LEF/β‐catenin promoter. Similar results were observed in HEL cells infected with lentivirus containing shRNA against JAK2 gene. After treatment with 50 µM AG490 or shRNA, the mRNA expression levels of β‐catenin, APC, Axin, β‐Trcp, GSK3α, and GSK3β were up‐regulated within 12–16 h. However, only the protein levels of GSK3β and β‐Trcp were found to have increased relative to untreated cells. Knockdown experiments revealed that the AG490‐induced inhibition of β‐catenin can be attenuated by shRNA targeting β‐TrCP. Taken together; these results suggest that β‐Trcp plays a key role in the cross‐talk between JAK/STAT and Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in leukemia cells. J. Cell.

Chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation is a fundamental process during hard palatogenesis. Excessive retinoic acid (RA), the biologically most active metabolite of vitamin A, has been reported to adversely affect chondrogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms underlying RA‐induced chondrocyte differentiation by using human fetal palatal chondrocytes (hFPCs) aging about 9 weeks of amenorrhea. RA treatment inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in hFPCs. Alkaline phosphatase activity assay, quantitative alcian blue staining, and real‐time PCR analysis revealed that RA treatment stimulated hFPCs to undergo maturation and terminal differentiation, as demonstrated by decreased chondrogenic markers and increased osteogenic markers. Further studies demonstrated that RA treatment increased Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, as demonstrated by Wnt/β‐catenin target gene expression analysis and a luciferase‐based β‐catenin–activated reporter assay. To address the role of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, we treated hFPCs with Dickkopf‐related protein 1, an extracellular inhibitor of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, and the observed all‐trans retinoic acid–mediated increases in nuclear accumulation of β‐catenin, alkaline phosphatase activity, and type I collagen mRNA were attenuated, suggesting that RA modulated Wnt signaling at ligand–receptor level. In summary, excessive all‐trans retinoic acid inhibited proliferation and promoted ossification of hFPCs by upregulation of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling 相似文献

Transgenic mice over‐expressing calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) in osteoblasts have increased bone density due to increased bone formation, thus suggesting that CGRP plays a role in bone metabolism. In this study we determined the relationship between CGRP, the canonical Wnt signaling and apoptosis in human osteoblasts (hOBs) in consideration of the well‐documented involvement of this pathway in bone cells. Primary cultures of hOBs were treated with CGRP 10?8 M. Levels of β‐catenin, which is the cytoplasmic protein mediator of canonical Wnt signaling, and mRNA were determined. CGRP increases both the expression and the levels of cytoplasmic β‐catenin by binding to its receptor, as this effect is blocked by the antagonist CGRP8–37. This facilitatory action on β‐catenin appears to be mediated by the inhibition of the enzyme GSK‐3β via protein kinase A (PKA) activation. GSK‐3β is a glycogen synthase kinase that, by phosphorylating β‐catenin, promotes its degradation by the proteosomal machinery. Moreover, the peptide is able to inhibit hOBs apoptosis stimulated by dexamethasone or by serum deprivation, possibly through the accumulation of β‐catenin, since the inhibitor of PKA activity H89 partially prevents the antiapoptotic effect of the peptide. In conclusion CGRP, released by nerve fibers, exerts its anabolic action on bone cells by stimulating canonical Wnt signaling and by inhibiting hOBs apoptosis, thus favoring local bone regeneration.

Sclerostin is expressed by osteocytes and has catabolic effects on bone. It has been shown to antagonize bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and/or Wnt activity, although at present the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Consistent with previous findings, Sclerostin opposed direct Wnt3a-induced but not direct BMP7-induced responses when both ligand and antagonist were provided exogenously to cells. However, we found that when both proteins are expressed in the same cell, sclerostin can antagonize BMP signaling directly by inhibiting BMP7 secretion. Sclerostin interacts with both the BMP7 mature domain and pro-domain, leading to intracellular retention and proteasomal degradation of BMP7. Analysis of sclerostin knock-out mice revealed an inhibitory action of sclerostin on Wnt signaling in both osteoblasts and osteocytes in cortical and cancellous bones. BMP7 signaling was predominantly inhibited by sclerostin in osteocytes of the calcaneus and the cortical bone of the tibia. Our results suggest that sclerostin exerts its potent bone catabolic effects by antagonizing Wnt signaling in a paracrine and autocrine manner and antagonizing BMP signaling selectively in the osteocytes that synthesize simultaneously both sclerostin and BMP7 proteins. 相似文献

It has been shown that hypoxia stimulation regulates bone formation, maintenance, and repair. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) plays important roles in osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation. However, the effects of hypoxia exposure on BMP‐2 expression in cultured osteoblasts are largely unknown. Here we found that hypoxia stimulation increased mRNA and protein levels of BMP‐2 by qPCR, Western blot and ELISA assay in osteoblastic cells MG‐63, hFOB and bone marrow stromal cells M2‐10B4. Integrin‐linked kinase (ILK) inhibitor (KP‐392), Akt inhibitor (1L‐6‐hydroxymethyl‐chiro‐inositol‐2‐[(R)‐2‐O‐methyl‐3‐O‐octadecylcarbonate]) or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor (rapamycin) inhibited the potentiating action of hypoxia. Exposure to hypoxia increased the kinase activity of ILK and phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR. Furthermore, hypoxia also increased the stability and activity of HIF‐1 protein. The binding of HIF‐1α to the HRE elements after exposure to hypoxia was measured by EMSA assay. Moreover, the use of pharmacological inhibitors or genetic inhibition revealed that both ILK/Akt and mTOR signaling pathway were potentially required for hypoxia‐induced HIF‐1α activation and subsequent BMP‐2 up‐regulation. Taken together, our results provide evidence that hypoxia enhances BMP‐2 expression in osteoblasts by an HIF‐1α‐dependent mechanism involving the activation of ILK/Akt and mTOR pathways. J. Cell.

Beyond its role as an electron acceptor in aerobic respiration, oxygen is also a key effector of many developmental events. The oxygen‐sensing machinery and the very fabric of cell identity and function have been shown to be deeply intertwined. Here we take a first look at how oxygen might lie at the crossroads of at least two of the major molecular pathways that shape pancreatic development. Based on recent evidence and a thorough review of the literature, we present a theoretical model whereby evolving oxygen tensions might choreograph to a large extent the sequence of molecular events resulting in the development of the organ. In particular, we propose that lower oxygenation prior to the expansion of the vasculature may favour HIF (hypoxia inducible factor)‐mediated activation of Notch and repression of Wnt/β‐catenin signalling, limiting endocrine cell differentiation. With the development of vasculature and improved oxygen delivery to the developing organ, HIF‐mediated support for Notch signalling may decline while the β‐catenin‐directed Wnt signalling is favoured, which would support endocrine cell differentiation and perhaps exocrine cell proliferation/differentiation. 相似文献

The loss of the SOST gene product sclerostin leads to sclerosteosis characterized by high bone mass. In this report, we found that sclerostin could antagonize canonical Wnt signaling in human embryonic kidney A293T cells and mouse osteoblastic MC3T3 cells. This sclerostin-mediated antagonism could be reversed by overexpression of Wnt co-receptor low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) 5. In addition, we found that sclerostin bound to LRP5 as well as LRP6 and identified the first two YWTD-EGF repeat domains of LRP5 as being responsible for the binding. Although these two repeat domains are required for transduction of canonical Wnt signals, canonical Wnt did not appear to compete with sclerostin for binding to LRP5. Examination of the expression of sclerostin and Wnt7b, an autocrine canonical Wnt, during primary calvarial osteoblast differentiation revealed that sclerostin is expressed at late stages of osteoblast differentiation coinciding with the expression of osteogenic marker osteocalcin and trailing after the expression of Wnt7b. Given the plethora of evidence indicating that canonical Wnt signaling stimulates osteogenesis, we believe that the high bone mass phenotype associated with the loss of sclerostin may be attributed, at least in part, to an increase in canonical Wnt signaling resulting from the reduction in sclerostin-mediated Wnt antagonism. 相似文献

Although Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P‐LPS) is known to inhibit osteoblast differentiation, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of Notch signaling in the osteoblastic differentiation of both MC3T3E‐1 cells and primary mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). P‐LPS stimulation activated the Notch1 signaling cascade and increased expression of the Notch target genes HES1 and HEY1. P‐LPS can also act as an inhibitor because it is capable of suppressing Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in preosteoblasts by decreasing both glycogen synthase kinase‐3β (GSK‐3β) phosphorylation and the expression of nuclear β‐catenin. These effects were rescued, however, by inhibiting Notch1 signaling. Furthermore, P‐LPS treatment inhibited osteoblast differentiation in preosteoblasts as demonstrated by reductions in alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoblast gene expression, and mineralization, all of which were rescued by suppression of Notch1 signaling. Moreover, inhibition of GSK‐3β, HES1, or HEY1 partially reversed the P‐LPS‐induced inhibition of osteoblast differentiation. Together, these findings suggest that P‐LPS inhibits osteoblast differentiation by promoting the expression of Notch target genes and suppressing canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. J. Cell.

Evidence indicated that GATA5 may suppress hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell malignant transformation, but the mechanism of how GATA5 affects cancer cell reprogramming to inhibit HCC malignant behaviour is still unclear. In this study, we report that the expression of β‐catenin and reprogramming genes p‐Oct4, Nanog, Klf4, c‐myc and EpCAM was significantly higher in HCC tissues compared to normal liver tissues. In contrast, the expression of GATA5 was significantly lower in HCC tissues compared to normal liver tissues. Transfection of CDH‐GATA5 vectors into HCC cells (HLE, Bel 7402 and PLC/PRF/5 cells) increased the GATA5 expression and decreased the expression of β‐catenin and reprogramming genes p‐Oct4, Nanog, Klf4, c‐myc and EpCAM. Increased GATA5 expression by transfection with its expression vectors was also able to inhibit the cell growth, colony formation and capability of migration, invasion, while promoting apoptosis in HCC cells. Results revealed that GATA5 co‐localization with β‐catenin in the cytoplasm, preventing β‐catenin from entering the nucleus. Treatment with the specific Wnt/β‐catenin pathway inhibitor salinomycin was able to reduce the expression of β‐catenin and reprogramming genes. Salinomycin exerted a similar influence as GATA5, and siRNA‐GATA5 restored β‐catenin and reprogramming gene expression. This study demonstrates that an increase in the expression of GATA5 inhibits the expression of β‐catenin and reprogramming genes and suppresses tumour growth, colony formation, metastasis and invasion, while promoting apoptosis in HCC cells. The mechanism of GATA5 inhibiting the malignant behaviours of HCC cells may involve in the disruption of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway and the reduction of reprogramming gene expression. 相似文献

Cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) give rise to cranial mesenchyme (CM) that differentiates into the forebrain meningeal progenitors in the basolateral and apical regions of the head. This occurs in close proximity to the other CNCC‐CM‐derivatives, such as calvarial bone and dermal progenitors. We found active Wnt signaling transduction in the forebrain meningeal progenitors in basolateral and apical populations and in the non‐meningeal CM preceding meningeal differentiation. Here, we dissect the source of Wnt ligand secretion and requirement of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling for the lineage selection and early differentiation of the forebrain meninges. We find persistent canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signal transduction in the meningeal progenitors in the absence of Wnt ligand secretion in the CM or surface ectoderm, suggesting additional sources of Wnts. Conditional mutants for Wntless and β‐catenin in the CM showed that Wnt ligand secretion and Wnt/β‐catenin signaling were dispensable for specification and proliferation of early meningeal progenitors. In the absence of β‐catenin in the CM, we found diminished laminin matrix and meningeal hypoplasia, indicating a structural and trophic role of mesenchymal β‐catenin signaling. This study shows that β‐catenin signaling is required in the CM for maintenance and organization of the differentiated meningeal layers in the basolateral and apical populations of embryonic meninges. 相似文献

Lrp4 is a multifunctional member of the low density lipoprotein-receptor gene family and a modulator of extracellular cell signaling pathways in development. For example, Lrp4 binds Wise, a secreted Wnt modulator and BMP antagonist. Lrp4 shares structural elements within the extracellular ligand binding domain with Lrp5 and Lrp6, two established Wnt co-receptors with important roles in osteogenesis. Sclerostin is a potent osteocyte secreted inhibitor of bone formation that directly binds Lrp5 and Lrp6 and modulates both BMP and Wnt signaling. The anti-osteogenic effect of sclerostin is thought to be mediated mainly by inhibition of Wnt signaling through Lrp5/6 within osteoblasts. Dickkopf1 (Dkk1) is another potent soluble Wnt inhibitor that binds to Lrp5 and Lrp6, can displace Lrp5-bound sclerostin and is itself regulated by BMPs. In a recent genome-wide association study of bone mineral density a significant modifier locus was detected near the SOST gene at 17q21, which encodes sclerostin. In addition, nonsynonymous SNPs in the LRP4 gene were suggestively associated with bone mineral density. Here we show that Lrp4 is expressed in bone and cultured osteoblasts and binds Dkk1 and sclerostin in vitro. MicroCT analysis of Lrp4 deficient mutant mice revealed shortened total femur length, reduced cortical femoral perimeter, and reduced total femur bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD). Lumbar spine trabecular bone volume per total volume (BV/TV) was significantly reduced in the mutants and the serum and urinary bone turnover markers alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and desoxypyridinoline were increased. We conclude that Lrp4 is a novel osteoblast expressed Dkk1 and sclerostin receptor with a physiological role in the regulation of bone growth and turnover, which is likely mediated through its function as an integrator of Wnt and BMP signaling pathways. 相似文献
