The morphology of the osteocyte changes during the cell's lifetime. Shortly after becoming buried in the matrix, an osteocyte is plump with a rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and a well-developed Golgi complex. This "immature" osteocyte reduces its number of organelles to become a "mature" osteocyte when it comes to reside deeper in the bone matrix. We hypothesized that mineralization of the surrounding matrix is the trigger for osteocyte maturation. To verify this, we prevented mineralization of newly formed matrix by administration of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) and then examined the morphological changes in the osteocytes in rats. In the HEBP group, matrix mineralization was disturbed, but matrix formation was not affected. The osteocytes found in the unmineralized matrix were immature. Mature osteocytes were seen in the corresponding mineralized matrix in the control group. The immature osteocytes in the unmineralized matrix failed to show immunoreactivity with anti-sclerostin antibody, whereas mature osteocytes in the mineralized matrix showed immunoreactivity in both control and HEBP groups. These findings suggest that mineralization of the matrix surrounding the osteocyte is the trigger for cytodifferentiation from a plump immature form to a mature osteocyte. The osteocyte appears to start secreting sclerostin only after it matures in the mineralized bone matrix.  相似文献

BMSCs (bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells) and ADSCs (adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells) are virtually identical in cell surface marker profile and differentiation potential. These cell populations have promising characteristics for clinical application. We have investigated the sensitivity of these cell populations to various chemotherapeutic agents by testing the inhibition of cell proliferation, low molecular DNA bands formation, in situ apoptosis, apoptosis‐related gene expression and cell senescence after treatment. BU (busulfan), methotrexate and doxorubicin treatment led to a marked and dose‐dependent reduction in cell viability compared with 5‐FU (5‐fluorouracil) treatment. Different expression patterns of apoptosis‐related genes were found in the BMSCs and ADSCs following treatment with the agents, but no low molecular mass DNA bands were detected. BMSCs had a higher percentage of apoptotic and senescent cells following treatment with chemotherapeutic agents compared with ADSCs. These findings suggest that these two cell populations respond differently to chemotherapy treatment. ADSCs are more resistant than BMSCs to chemotherapy‐induced senescence and apoptosis, indicating that they might be more advantageous to use in the clinic than BMSCs.  相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) curative effects on methotrexate (MTX)‐induced kidney and liver injuries remain elusive. Therefore, rats were divided into five groups, rats received MTX orally (14 mg/kg) as a single dose/week for 2 weeks, groups 3 and 4 were injected once with 2 × 106 cells bone marrow MSCs and adipose‐derived MSCs, respectively. The last group administered dexamethasone (DEX) (0.5 mg/kg, p.o) for 7 days. MTX caused marked increase in malondialdehyde and nitrite/nitrate concentrations. However, MTX administration decreased reduced glutathione content plus catalase activity. In addition, MTX caused a significant increment in kidney and liver biomarkers levels. Moreover, MTX showed renal tubules vacuolation and necrosis of hepatocytes, as well expression of caspase‐3 and nuclear factor kappa beta in kidney and liver tissues were observed. MSCs treatment alleviated previous side effects induced by MTX. MSCs improved nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity induced by MTX to a better extent as compared with DEX.  相似文献

The intra‐articular injection of adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) is a novel potential therapy for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). However, the efficacy of ASCs from different regions of the body remains unknown. This study investigated whether ASCs from subcutaneous or visceral adipose tissue provide the same improvement of OA. Mouse and human subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were excised for ASC isolation. Morphology, proliferation, surface markers and adipocyte differentiation of subcutaneous ASCs (S‐ASCs) and visceral ASCs (V‐ASCs) were analysed. A surgically induced rat model of OA was established, and 4 weeks after the operation, S‐ASCs, V‐ASCs or phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS, control) were injected into the articular cavity. Histology, immunohistochemistry and gene expression analyses were performed 6 weeks after ASC injection. The ability of ASCs to differentiate into chondrocytes was assessed by in vitro chondrogenesis, and the immunosuppressive activity of ASCs was evaluated by co‐culturing with macrophages. The proliferation of V‐ASCs was significantly greater than that of S‐ASCs, but S‐ASCs had the greater adipogenic capacity than V‐ASCs. In addition, the infracted cartilage treated with S‐ASCs showed significantly greater improvement than cartilage treated with PBS or V‐ASCs. Moreover, S‐ASCs showed better chondrogenic potential and immunosuppression in vitro. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is an effective cell source for cell therapy of OA as it promotes stem cell differentiation into chondrocytes and inhibits immunological reactions.  相似文献

Valproic acid (VPA) has been used as an anticonvulsant agent for the treatment of epilepsy, as well as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of bipolar disorder, for several decades. The mechanism of action for these effects remains to be elucidated and is most likely multifactorial. Recently, VPA has been reported to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) and HDAC has been reported to play roles in differentiation of mammalian cells. In this study, the effects of HDAC inhibitors on differentiation and proliferation of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (hADSC) and bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) were determined. VPA increased osteogenic differentiation in a dose dependent manner. The pretreatment of VPA before induction of differentiation also showed stimulatory effects on osteogenic differentiation of hMSC. Trichostatin A (TSA), another HDAC inhibitor, also increased osteogenic differentiation, whereas valpromide (VPM), a structural analog of VPA which does not possess HDAC inhibitory effects, did not show any effect on osteogenic differentiation on hADSC. RT-PCR and Real-time PCR analysis revealed that VPA treatment increased osterix, osteopontin, BMP-2, and Runx2 expression. The addition of noggin inhibited VPA-induced potentiation of osteogenic differentiation. VPA inhibited proliferation of hADSC and hBMSC. Our results suggest that VPA enhance osteogenic differentiation, probably due to inhibition of HDAC, and could be useful for in vivo bone engineering using hMSC.  相似文献

Autophagy, a type II programmed cell death, is essential for cell survival under stress, e.g. lung injury, and bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM‐MSCs) have great potential for cell therapy. However, the mechanisms underlying the BM‐MSC activation of autophagy to provide a therapeutic effect in ischaemia/reperfusion‐induced lung injury (IRI) remain unclear. Thus, we investigate the activation of autophagy in IRI following transplantation with BM‐MSCs. Seventy mice were pre‐treated with BM‐MSCs before they underwent lung IRI surgery in vivo. Human pulmonary micro‐vascular endothelial cells (HPMVECs) were pre‐conditioned with BM‐MSCs by oxygen‐glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD) in vitro. Expression markers for autophagy and the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signalling pathway were analysed. In IRI‐treated mice, administration of BM‐MSCs significantly attenuated lung injury and inflammation, and increased the level of autophagy. In OGD‐treated HPMVECs, co‐culture with BM‐MSCs attenuated endothelial permeability by decreasing the level of cell death and enhanced autophagic activation. Moreover, administration of BM‐MSCs decreased the level of PI3K class I and p‐Akt while the expression of PI3K class III was increased. Finally, BM‐MSCs‐induced autophagic activity was prevented using the inhibitor LY294002. Administration of BM‐MSCs attenuated lung injury by improving the autophagy level via the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. These findings provide further understanding of the mechanisms related to BM‐MSCs and will help to develop new cell‐based therapeutic strategies in lung injury.  相似文献

Erythropoietin (EPO) was shown to have protective effects after myocardial infarction (MI) by neovascularization and antiapoptotic mechanisms. Beside direct receptor-dependent mechanisms, mobilization and homing of bone marrow-derived cells (BMCs) may play a pivotal role in this regard. In this study, we intended to track different subpopulations of BMCs and to assess serially myocardial perfusion changes in EPO-treated mice after MI. To allow tracking of BMCs, we used a chimeric mouse model. Therefore, mice (C57BL/6J) were sublethally irradiated, and bone marrow (BM) from green fluorescent protein transgenic mice was transplanted. Ten weeks later coronary artery ligation was performed to induce MI. EPO was injected for 3 days with a total dose of 5000 IU/kg. Subpopulations (CD31, c-kit, CXCR-4 and Sca-1) of EGFP(+) cells were studied in peripheral blood, bone marrow and hearts by flow cytometry. Myocardial perfusion was serially investigated in vivo by pinhole single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) at days 6 and 30 after MI. EPO-treated animals revealed an enhanced mobilization of BMCs into peripheral blood. The numbers of these cells in BM remained unchanged. Homing of all BMCs subpopulations to the ischaemic myocardium was significantly increased in EPO-treated mice. Among the investigated subpopulations, EPO predominantly affected migration of CXCR-4(+) (4.3-fold increase). Repetitively SPECT analyses revealed a reduction of perfusion defects after EPO treatment over time. Our study shows that EPO treatment after MI enhances the migration capacity of BMCs into ischaemic tissue, which may attribute to an improved perfusion and reduced size of infarction, respectively.  相似文献
