M13, an anthraquinone compound isolated from Morinda officinalis promotes the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 108:154542. [PMID: 36410102 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morinda officinalis (MO) is a herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of osteoporosis. M13, a MO-based anthraquinone compound is known to suppress osteoclast activity. However, whether M13 promotes MSCs osteogenic differentiation and its potential mechanism remains unknown. PURPOSE To examine the influence of M13 on MSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and elucidate the underlying mechanism. METHODS/STUDY DESIGNS The effect of M13 exposure on MSCs proliferation was assessed via CCK8 assay, clone formation assay, immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and Western blot. The M13-mediated osteogenesis in vitro and ex vivo were evaluated via ALP and Alizarin red S staining, osteogenesis-associated gene (Runx2, Col1a1 and Opn) expression, and fetal limb explants culture. Molecular docking was employed for target signal pathway screening. The potential signaling mechanisms of M13-promoted MSCs osteogenic differentiation were analyzed by introducing XAV939 (Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibitor). RESULTS M13 induced certain obvious positive effects on MSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Treatment with M13 enhanced MSCs viability and clone numbers. Meanwhile, M13 promoted osteogenic gene expression, enhanced ALP intensity and Alizarin red S staining in MSCs. In terms of mechanism, M13 strongly interacted with the docking site of the WNT signaling complex, thereby activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Furthermore, the M13-mediated osteogenic effect was partially inhibited by XAV939 both in vitro and ex vivo, which confirmed that the Wnt/β-catenin axis is a critical regulator of M13-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. CONCLUSION Our study elucidated for the first time that M13 significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation of MSCs via stimulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in vitro and ex vivo.Our findings offered new additional evidence to support the MO or M13-based therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Phytoestrogens are a class of potential natural medicines for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Segetalin B (SB) is a cyclic peptide compound showing estrogenic activity. This study reports the effect of SB on bone formation among ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from OVX rats were cultured in vitro. Alizarin Red staining was utilized to observe the effect of SB on the mineralization of BMSCs. The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2), and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activities were detected. The OVX rats were treated with SB in vivo. Micro-CT was utilized for imaging analysis. Urine calcium and phosphorus, and ALP activity in bone marrow were assayed. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence were incorporated to detect protein expressions in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that SB dose-dependently promoted mineralization of OVX rat-derived BMSCs in vitro increased the level of Osteocalcin, BMP-2, ALP, and SIRT1 activity. Moreover, it upregulated expressions of Runx2, Osterix, and SIRT1, downregulated expressions of Notch intracellular domain (NICD), acetyl-NICD, and hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1). In addition, SB treatment significantly decreased bone loss, inhibited calcium and phosphorus loss, elevated ALP activity, upregulated Runx2, Osterix, and SIRT1, and downregulated NICD and Hes1 in OVX rats in vivo. However, EX527, a SIRT1-selective inhibitor, could reverse the above effects of SB in vitro or in vivo. These results indicate that SB is a potential natural medicine to improve PMOP. Thus, its mechanism of promoting bone formation involves the SIRT1/Notch1 signaling axis.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (S-AKI) has emerged as a frequent and life-threatening complication in critically ill patients, which is characterized by a systematic inflammatory response and a rapid decline in kidney function. P2Y4, a member of G protein–coupled P2Y nucleotide receptor family, has been reported to serve as a crucial player in inflammatory responses during the development of neurocognitive disorder and myocardial infarction. Nonetheless, the biological role of P2Y4 in S-AKI remains largely unclear. This study aimed to decipher the biological role of P2Y4 in S-AKI and illuminate the potential mechanisms. In this study, S-AKI models were successfully established in mice via cecal ligation and puncture. Results showed that the kidney tissues from S-AKI mouse models exhibited a higher P2Y4 expression level than from the sham-operated group. Knockdown of P2Y4 was found to remarkably alleviate kidney damage and reduce inflammatory response in mice of S-AKI models. Moreover, P2Y4 ablation inhibited the activation of the NF-κB/MMP-8 signaling axis. Additionally, mechanistic studies revealed that rescuing MMP-8 reversed the alleviating effects of P2Y4 knockdown against renal cell damage. Collectively, our findings indicate that P2Y4 knockdown ameliorated S-AKI in mice via inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB/MMP-8 axis and that P2Y4 may represent a novel therapeutic target for S-AKI patients.

Abstract
Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and sclerostin play important roles in adipose tissue and bone metabolism. We evaluated the circulating SIRT1 and sclerostin relationship with mass and quality of bone while considering the degree of adiposity. Sixty-six premenopausal women (16 underweight, 25 normal weight and 25 with obesity), aged <50 years, were enrolled. Plasma SIRT1, sclerostin and DXA body composition (total fat mass (FM), abdominal visceral adipose tissue, lean mass, trabecular bone score (TBS) and lumbar spine and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD)) were assessed. The patients with obesity showed the lowest SIRT1 and TBS values and the highest sclerostin concentrations; BMD increased with FM and BMI and had an inverse association with SIRT1. Sclerostin was negatively correlated with SIRT1 (ρ = −0.37, p = 0.002). When spine BMD, FN BMD and TBS were standardized for BMI, a positive correlation with SIRT1 and a negative correlation with sclerostin were seen (p < 0.005). In the regression analysis, sclerostin was the best independent, negative predictor for BMD and TBS, while SIRT1 directly predicted TBS (p < 0.05). In conclusion, blood measurement of SIRT1 and sclerostin could represent a snapshot of the bone status that, taking into account the degree of adiposity, may reduce the interference of confounding factors in the interpretation of bone health parameters.

Abstract
Background: We aimed at investigating causal associations between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and bone mineral density (BMD) by the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: From genome-wide association studies of European ancestry, we selected instrumental variables for MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-10, and MMP-12. Accordingly, we retrieved summary statistics of three site-specific BMD, namely, forearm, femoral neck, and lumbar spine. We conducted an inverse variance weighted MR as the primary method to compute overall effects from multiple instruments, while additional MR approaches and sensitivity analyses were implemented. Bonferroni-adjusted significance threshold was set at p < 0.05/18 = 0.003. Results: Totally, there was no evidence for causal effects of genetically-predicted levels of MMPs on BMD measurement at three common sites. MR results indicated that there were no causal associations of circulating MMPs with forearm BMD (all p ≥ 0.023) by the inverse variance weighted method. Similarly, there were no causal effects of MMPs on femoral neck BMD (all p ≥ 0.120) and MR results did not support causal relationships between MMPs and lumbar spine BMD (all p ≥ 0.017). Multiple sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of MR results, which were less likely to be biased by unbalanced pleiotropy or evident heterogeneity. Conclusion: We found no evidence for the causal relationship between MMPs and BMD in the European population.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal metabolism disorder resulting in bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Silent information regulator factor 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is crucial in the regulation of several biological processes, including bone metabolism, autophagy, apoptosis, and aging. This study aimed to assess whether the up-regulation of SIRT1 induced by 17beta-estradiol (17β-E2) could promote autophagy and inhibit apoptosis in osteoblasts via the AMPK-mTOR and FOXO3a pathways, respectively. The study found that 17β-E2 (10-6 M) administration induced the up-regulation of SIRT1 in osteoblasts. Up-regulation of SIRT1 induced by 17β-E2 increased the expression level of LC3, Beclin-1, Bcl-2, p-AMPK, FOXO3a but decreased caspase-3 and p-mTOR expression, and then promoted autophagy and inhibited apoptosis. More autophagosomes were observed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in 17β-E2 and SRT1720 (a selective SIRT1 activator) co-treated group. When Ex527 (a SIRT1-specific inhibitor) was pretreated, the reversed changes were observed. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that the up-regulation of SIRT1 induced by 17β-E2 could promote autophagy via the AMPK-mTOR pathway and inhibit apoptosis via the FOXO3a activation in osteoblasts, and SIRT1 might become a more significant target in osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) play key roles in bone metabolism and the immune system. The RANK/RANKL complex has also been shown to be critical in the formation of mammary epithelia cells. The female hormones estradiol and progesterone closely control the action of RANKL with RANK. Blood concentration of these sex hormones in the postmenopausal period leads to an increase in RANK/RANKL signaling and are a major cause of women's osteoporosis, characterized by altered bone mineralization. Knowledge of the biochemical relationships between hormones and RANK/RANKL signaling provides the opportunity to design novel therapeutic agents to inhibit bone loss, based on the anti-RANKL treatment and inhibition of its interaction with the RANK receptor. The new generation of both anti- and mesoprogestins that inhibit the NF-κB-cyclin D1 axis and blocks the binding of RANKL to RANK can be considered as a potential source of new RANK receptor ligands with anti-RANKL function, which may provide a new perspective into osteoporosis treatment itself as well as limit the osteoporosis rise during breast cancer metastasis to the bone.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality, despite progress in medical care. Many studies have shown that there are sex differences and different role of sex hormones particularly estrogens in kidney injury. In this regard, the incidence and rate of progression of kidney diseases are higher in men compared with women. These observations suggest that female sex hormone may be renoprotective. Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is a histone deacetylase, which is implicated in multiple biologic processes in several organisms. In the kidneys, SIRT1 inhibits renal cell apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Studies have reported a link between SIRT1 and estrogen. In addition, SIRT1 regulates ERα expression and inhibition of SIRT1 activity suppresses ERα expression. This effect leads to inhibition of estrogen-responsive gene expression. In this text, we review the role of SIRT1 in mediating the protective effects of estrogen in the onset and progression of AKI.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase, epigenetically regulates various cell metabolisms, including inflammation, tumorigenesis, and bone metabolism. Many clinical studies have found the potential of SIRT1 in predicting and treating bone-related disorders, such as osteoporosis and osteonecrosis, suggesting that SIRT1 might be a regulator of bone homeostasis. In order to identify the mechanisms that underlie the pivotal role of SIRT1 in bone homeostasis, many studies revealed that SIRT1 could maintain the balance between bone formation and absorption via regulating the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts. SIRT1 controls the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and bone marrow-derived macrophages, increasing osteogenesis and reducing osteoclastogenesis. Besides, SIRT1 can enhance bone-forming cells' viability, including MSCs and osteoblasts under adverse conditions by resisting senescence, suppressing apoptosis, and promoting autophagy in favor of osteogenesis. Furthermore, the effect on bone vasculature homeostasis enables SIRT1 to become a valuable strategy for ischemic osteonecrosis and senile osteoporosis. The review systemically discusses SIRT1 pathways and the critical role in bone homeostasis and assesses whether SIRT1 is a potential target for manipulation and therapy, to lay a solid foundation for further researches in the future.
