Head injury-induced heterotopic ossification (HO) develops at vicinity of joints and in severe cases requires surgical intervention. Our previous study demonstrated high mRNA levels of osteocalcin (OC), type 1 collagen (COL1), osteonectin and RUNX2/CBFA1 in osteocytes and lining osteoblasts from non-evolutive HO compared to equivalent healthy cells from the proximal femoral shaft of patients receiving prosthesis. This allowed a first molecular characterisation of this pathological bone. The aims of this study is to extend the analysis to 10 more genes and determine those involved in the high OC mRNA level observed in pathological bone samples. RNAs were prepared from normotopic and heterotopic human bone samples digested by collagenase. After cDNA synthesis, mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR and normalised using beta actin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. OSTERIX/SP7 expression was observed for the first time in human adult bone biopsies. In HO samples higher levels of SP7 (four- to sevenfold increase) and 1alpha,25-dihydroxy vitamin D(3) receptor (VDR) (two- to threefold increase) were observed compared to control samples. Moreover, SP7 level was correlated to OC and RUNX2 levels. In control samples, OC and SP7 levels were correlated. Our study further confirms that the involvement of SP7 in bone physiology is not only limited to the developmental step. Moreover, our results support the hypothesis that in HO the high level of OC expression could be due not only to an increase in RUNX2, but also in SP7 or VDR or to an imbalance in their respective activities. 相似文献

Expression of mRNA of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors in Xenopus oocytes results from structurally distinct receptor mRNAs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Poly(A)+-selected RNA prepared from cells or tissues that express a homogeneous population of either beta 1- or beta 2-adrenergic receptors was isolated and then microinjected into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Following microinjection, the expression of beta-adrenergic receptors was assessed by equilibrium radioligand binding analysis using the antagonist ligand [3H]dihydroalprenolol. The pharmacology of the newly- expressed beta-adrenergic receptors in oocyte membranes was the same as that of the original tissue used as a source of RNA. Hybridization of nick-translated cDNA of hamster beta 2-adrenergic receptor to poly(A)+-selected RNA from tissues containing beta 2-adrenergic receptors was to a mRNA species of 2.2 kilobases. In contrast, hybridization of the cDNA probe to poly(A)+-selected RNA from tissues containing beta 1-adrenergic receptors was to a mRNA species of 2.0 kilobases. A single-stranded fragment of hamster beta 2-adrenergic receptor cDNA corresponding to nucleotides 730-886 was isolated and uniformly radiolabeled. This region of the gene is predicted to encode for the entire second exofacial loop (L4-5), the entire fifth transmembrane-spanning region, and the first 5 amino acid residues of the third cytoplasmic loop (L5-6) of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor. Hybridization at 48 and 56 degrees C of poly(A)+-selected RNA prepared from sources that express either beta 1 or beta 2-adrenergic receptors to the antisense orientation strand of this region of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor cDNA was followed by S1 endonuclease digestion of nonhybridized sequences. At 48 degrees C, S1-resistant hybrids from both sources of RNA protected the probe from S1 endonuclease digestion. At 56 degrees C, however, only the RNA prepared from the source of beta 2-adrenergic receptors protected the probe from S1 endonuclease digestion. These results demonstrate that the mRNAs encoding for the structurally homologous beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors are distinct in the pharmacological specificity of their translation products and in their size and structure. 相似文献

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B), and 5-HT(2C) belong to a subfamily of serotonin receptors. Amino acid and mRNA sequences of these receptors have been published for several species including man. The 5-HT(2) receptors have been reported to act on nervous, muscle, and endothelial tissues. Here we report the presence of 5-HT(2B) receptor in fetal chicken bone cells. 5-HT(2B) receptor mRNA expression was demonstrated in osteocytes, osteoblasts, and periosteal fibroblasts, a population containing osteoblast precursor cells. Pharmacological studies using several agonists and antagonists showed that occupancy of the 5-HT(2B) receptor stimulates the proliferation of periosteal fibroblasts. Activity of the 5-HT(2A) receptor could however not be excluded. mRNA for both receptors was shown to be equally present in adult mouse osteoblasts. Osteocytes, which showed the highest expression of 5-HT(2B) receptor mRNA in chicken, and to a lesser extent osteoblasts, are considered to be mechanosensor cells involved in the adaptation of bone to its mechanical usage. Nitric oxide is one of the signaling molecules that is released upon mechanical stimulation of osteocytes and osteoblasts. The serotonin analog alpha-methyl-5-HT, which preferentially binds to 5-HT(2) receptors, decreased nitric oxide release by mechanically stimulated mouse osteoblasts. These results demonstrate that serotonin is involved in bone metabolism and its mechanoregulation. 相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors form the largest family of membrane receptors and transmit diverse ligand signals to modulate various cellular responses. After activation by their ligands, some of these G protein-coupled receptors are desensitized, internalized (endocytosed), and down-regulated (degraded). In HEK 293 cells, the G(s)-coupled beta2-adrenergic receptor was postulated to initiate a second wave of signaling, such as the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway after the receptor is internalized. The tyrosine kinase c-Src plays a critical role in these events. Here we used mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells deficient in Src family tyrosine kinases to examine the role of Src in beta2-adrenergic receptor signaling to the MAPK pathway and in receptor internalization. We found that in Src-deficient cells the beta2-adrenergic receptor could activate the MAPK pathway. However, the internalization of beta2-adrenergic receptors was blocked in Src-deficient MEF cells. Furthermore, we observed that in MEF cells deficient in beta-arrestin 2 the internalization of the beta2-adrenergic receptor was impaired, whereas the activation of the MAPK pathway by the beta2-adrenergic receptor was normal. Our data demonstrate that although Src and beta-arrestin 2 play essential roles in beta2-adrenergic receptor internalization, they are not required for the activation of the MAPK pathway by the beta2-adrenergic receptor. In other words, our finding suggests that receptor internalization is not required for beta2-adrenergic receptor signaling to the MAPK pathway in MEF cells. 相似文献

Osteocytes are the most abundant osteoblast lineage cells within the bone matrix. They respond to mechanical stimulation and can participate in the release of regulatory proteins that can modulate the activity of other bone cells. We hypothesize that neuropeptide Y (NPY), a neurotransmitter with regulatory functions in bone formation, is produced by osteocytes and can affect osteoblast activity. To study the expression of NPY by the osteoblast lineage cells, we utilized transgenic mouse models in which we can identify and isolate populations of osteoblasts and osteocytes. The Col2.3GFP transgene is active in osteoblasts and osteocytes, while the DMP1 promoter drives green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in osteocytes. Real‐time PCR analysis of RNA from the isolated populations of cells derived from neonatal calvaria showed higher NPY mRNA in the preosteocytes/osteocytes fraction compared to osteoblasts. NPY immunostaining confirmed the strong expression of NPY in osteocytes (DMP1GFP+), and lower levels in osteoblasts. In addition, the presence of NPY receptor Y1 mRNA was detected in cavaria and long bone, as well as in primary calvarial osteoblast cultures, whereas Y2 mRNA was restricted to the brain. Furthermore, NPY expression was reduced by 30–40% in primary calvarial cultures when subjected to fluid shear stress. In addition, treatment of mouse calvarial osteoblasts with exogenous NPY showed a reduction in the levels of intracellular cAMP and markers of osteoblast differentiation (osteocalcin, BSP, and DMP1). These results highlight the potential regulation of osteoblast lineage differentiation by local NPY signaling. J. Cell. Biochem. 108: 621–630, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Osteoclasts modulate bone resorption under physiological and pathological conditions. Previously, we showed that both estrogens and retinoids regulated osteoclastic bone resorption and postulated that such regulation was directly mediated through their cognate receptors expressed in mature osteoclasts. In this study, we searched for expression of other members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily in osteoclasts. Using the low stringency homologous hybridization method, we isolated the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta/beta (PPARdelta/beta) cDNA from mature rabbit osteoclasts. Northern blot analysis showed that PPARdelta/beta mRNA was highly expressed in highly enriched rabbit osteoclasts. Carbaprostacyclin, a prostacyclin analogue known to be a ligand for PPARdelta/beta, significantly induced both bone-resorbing activities of isolated mature rabbit osteoclasts and mRNA expression of the cathepsin K, carbonic anhydrase type II, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase genes in these cells. Moreover, the carbaprostacyclin-induced bone resorption was completely blocked by an antisense phosphothiorate oligodeoxynucleotide of PPARdelta/beta but not by the sense phosphothiorate oligodeoxynucleotide of the same DNA sequence. Our results suggest that PPARdelta/beta may be involved in direct modulation of osteoclastic bone resorption. 相似文献

Catecholamines are important lipolytic agents in horses and ponies but the nature of the adrenergic receptor subtype distribution in their adipocytes is uncertain. A first objective was to identify the beta-adrenergic receptor subtype(s) present in adipocytes from horses and ponies. A second objective was to evaluate if the lipolytic responsiveness of isolated adipocytes to beta-adrenergic agonists is altered during lactation, a condition known to affect markedly maternal fat metabolism. Isoproterenol and salbutamol elicited strong lipolytic responses in adipocytes isolated from horse and pony subcutaneous adipose tissue. There were weak lipolytic responses to norepinephrine, dobutamine and BRL37344. The weak lipolytic response to NE compared to isoproterenol or salbutamol suggests an antilipolytic action from alpha2-adrenergic receptors. The relative order of potency for the beta-adrenergic agonists was isoproterenol>/=salbutamol>dobutamine=BRL37344. There was expression of beta2-adrenergic receptor mRNA in pony and horse adipose tissues, as estimated by relative RT-PCR, but no expression of mRNAs for beta1- or beta3-adrenergic receptors. Early lactation did not alter the lipolytic responses to beta-adrenergic agonists, nor the expression of beta2-adrenergic receptor mRNA. Thus, these results indicate a dominant if not exclusive presence of beta2-adrenergic receptors in pony and horse adipocytes that is not affected by lactation. 相似文献

Stimulation of DDT1 MF-2 vas deferens cells with epinephrine resulted in a time- and dose-dependent loss of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-specific ligand binding. Regulation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA was characterized. In monolayer culture, cells displayed 0.7 +/- 0.05 amol of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA/microgram of total cellular RNA. Epinephrine, which acts at both alpha 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors of DDT1 MF-2 cells, induced a short term (2-8 h) increase (50-70%) in the abundance of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA. Propranolol, a beta 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, attenuated the epinephrine-mediated increase in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA but did not affect the decrease in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-specific ligand binding. Phentolamine, an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist, did not attenuate the epinephrine-mediated increase in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA at 4 h but did block the decrease in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-specific ligand binding. The half-life of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA was approximately 7 h in untreated cells as well as in cells challenged with epinephrine. The epinephrine-promoted increase in alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA was found to result from cross-regulation via beta 2-adrenergic receptors. Cholera toxin, forskolin, as well as the cyclic AMP analog CPT cAMP (8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate) increased the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor mRNA at 4 h, as did epinephrine in the presence of alpha 1-antagonists but not in the presence of a beta-adrenergic antagonist. This is the first report of heterologous up-regulation of mRNA levels of adrenergic receptors. Cross-regulation between alpha 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptor-mediated pathways at 4 h occurs at the level of mRNA whereas later down-regulation of alpha 1-receptor mRNA and binding proceed via agonist activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Insulin activates a complex set of intracellular responses, including the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases Erk1,2. The counterregulatory actions of insulin on catecholamine action are well known and include phosphorylation of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor on Tyr(350), Tyr(354), and Tyr(364) in the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain, as well as enhanced sequestration of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. Both beta-adrenergic agonists and insulin provoke sequestration of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors in a synergistic manner. In the current work, cross-talk between insulin action and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors revealed that insulin activation of Erk1,2 was amplified via beta(2)-adrenergic receptors. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, expression of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors enhanced 5-10-fold the activation of Erk1,2 by insulin and prolonged the activation, the greatest enhancement occurring at 5 min post-insulin. The potentiation of insulin signaling on Erk1,2 was proportional to the level of expression of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. The potentiation of insulin signaling requires the integrity of Tyr(350) of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, a residue phosphorylated in response to insulin. beta(2)-adrenergic receptors with a Y350F mutation failed to potentiate insulin activation of Erk1,2. Expression of the C-terminal domain of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (Pro(323)-Leu(418)) in cells expressing the intact beta(2)-adrenergic receptor acts as a dominant negative, blocking the potentiation of insulin activation of Erk1,2 via the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. Blockade of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor sequestration does not alter the ability of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor to potentiate insulin action on Erk1,2. We propose a new paradigm in which a G-protein-linked receptor, such as the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor, itself acts as a receptor-based scaffold via its binding site for Src homology 2 domains, facilitating signaling of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway by insulin. 相似文献

The role of SOCS-3 in leptin signaling and leptin resistance. 总被引:41,自引:0,他引:41

We earlier demonstrated that leptin induces expression of SOCS-3 mRNA in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, transfection data suggest that SOCS-3 is an inhibitor of leptin signaling. However, little is known about the regulation of SOCS-3 expression by leptin and the mechanism by which SOCS-3 inhibits leptin action. We here show that in CHO cells stably expressing the long form of the leptin receptor (CHO-OBRl), leptin induces transient expression of endogenous SOCS-3 mRNA but not of CIS, SOCS-1, or SOCS-2 mRNA. SOCS-3 protein levels were maximal after 2-3 h of leptin treatment and remained elevated at 20 h. Furthermore, in leptin-pretreated CHO-OBRl cells, proximal leptin signaling was blocked for more than 20 h after pretreatment, thus correlating with increased SOCS-3 expression. Leptin pretreatment did not affect cell surface expression of leptin receptors as measured by (125)I-leptin binding assays. In transfected COS cells, forced expression of SOCS-3 results in inhibition of leptin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of JAK2. Finally, JAK2 co-immunoprecipitates with SOCS-3 in lysates from leptin-treated COS cells. These results suggest that SOCS-3 is a leptin-regulated inhibitor of proximal leptin signaling in vivo. Excessive SOCS-3 activity in leptin-responsive cells is therefore a potential mechanism for leptin resistance, a characteristic feature in human obesity. 相似文献

The role of the sympathetic nervous system in the regulation of leptin synthesis in C57BL/6 mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objectives of this study were to determine whether leptin synthesis is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system and if so whether beta-adrenergic receptors mediate this effect. We show that sympathetic blockade by reserpine increases leptin mRNA levels in brown but not white adipose tissue, while acute cold-exposure decreases leptin expression 10-fold in brown adipose tissue and 2-fold in white adipose tissue. The cold-induced reduction in leptin mRNA can be prevented by a combination of propranolol and SR 59230A but not by either antagonist alone, indicating that beta3-adrenergic receptors and classical beta1/beta2-adrenergic receptors both mediate responses to sympathetic stimulation. Circulating leptin levels reflect synthesis in white adipose tissue but not in brown adipose tissue. 相似文献

A major paradigm in the field of obesity research is the existence of an adipose tissue-brain endocrine axis for the regulation of body weight. Leptin, the peptide mediator of this axis, is secreted by adipose cells. It lowers food intake and body weight by acting in the hypothalamus, a region expressing an abundance of leptin receptors and a variety of neuropeptides that influence food intake and energy balance. Among the most promising candidates for leptin-sensitive cells in the hypothalamus are arcuate nucleus neurons that co-express the anabolic neuropeptides, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AGRP), and those that express proopiomelanocortin (POMC), the precursor of the catabolic peptide, alphaMSH. These cell types contain mRNA encoding leptin receptors and show changes in neuropeptide gene expression in response to changes in food intake and circulating leptin levels. Decreased leptin signaling in the arcuate nucleus is hypothesized to increase the expression of NPY and AGRP. Levels of leptin receptor mRNA and leptin binding are increased in the arcuate nucleus during fasting, principally in NPY/AGRP neurons. These findings suggest that changes in leptin receptor expression in the arcuate nucleus are inversely associated with changes in leptin signaling, and that the arcuate nucleus is an important target of leptin action in the brain. 相似文献

Beta1-adrenergic receptors, expressed at high levels in the human heart, have a carboxyl-terminal ESKV motif that can directly interact with PDZ domain-containing proteins. Using the beta1-adrenergic receptor carboxyl terminus as bait, we identified the novel beta1-adrenergic receptor-binding partner GIPC in a yeast two-hybrid screen of a human heart cDNA library. Here we demonstrate that the PDZ domain-containing protein, GIPC, co-immunoprecipitates with the beta1-adrenergic receptor in COS-7 cells. Essential for this interaction is the Ser residue of the beta1-adrenergic receptor carboxyl-terminal ESKV motif. Our data also demonstrate that beta1-adrenergic receptor stimulation activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase, ERK1/2. beta1-adrenergic receptor-mediated ERK1/2 activation was inhibited by pertussis toxin, implicating Gi, and was substantially decreased by the expression of GIPC. Expression of GIPC had no observable effect on beta1-adrenergic receptor sequestration or receptor-mediated cAMP accumulation. This GIPC effect was specific for the beta1-adrenergic receptor and was dependent on an intact PDZ binding motif. These data suggest that GIPC can regulate beta1-adrenergic receptor-stimulated, Gi-mediated, ERK activation while having no effect on receptor internalization or Gs-mediated cAMP signaling. 相似文献

Adipocyte-selective reduction of the leptin receptors induced by antisense RNA leads to increased adiposity,dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Although recent evidence suggests that leptin can directly regulate a wide spectrum of peripheral functions, including fat metabolism, genetic examples are still needed to illustrate the physiological significance of direct actions of leptin in a given peripheral tissue. To this end, we used a technical knock-out approach to reduce the expression of leptin receptors specifically in white adipose tissue. The evaluation of leptin receptor reduction in adipocytes was based on real time PCR analysis of the mRNA levels, Western blot analysis of the proteins, and biochemical analysis of leptin signaling capability. Despite a normal level of leptin receptors in the hypothalamus and normal food intake, mutant mice developed increased adiposity, decreased body temperature, hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, as well as elevated hepatic and skeletal muscle triglyceride levels. In addition, a variety of genes involved in regulating fat and glucose metabolism were dysregulated in white adipose tissue. These include tumor necrosis factor-alpha, adiponectin, leptin, fatty acid synthase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1, glycerol kinase, and beta3-adrenergic receptor. Furthermore, the mutant mice are significantly more sensitive to high fat feeding with regard to developing obesity and severe insulin resistance. Thus, we provide a genetic model demonstrating the physiological importance of a peripheral effect of leptin in vivo. Importantly, this suggests the possibility that leptin resistance at the adipocyte level might be a molecular link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. 相似文献
