Missense mutations in WDR4 have been linked to primordial dwarfism, which shows severe craniofacial developmental deformities including small teeth, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we explore the effect of m7G modification on dentin formation during tooth root development. METTL1 was actively expressed in mice developing tooth roots, and its expression became undetectable after tooth root formation. Next, we generated Prrx1-Cre driven Mettl1 (Prrx1Cre;Mettl1fl/fl) conditional KO mice to delete Mettl1 in dental mesenchyme and explored its regulation during tooth development. Micro-computed tomography revealed that the roots of the mandibular first molar in Prrx1Cre;Mettl1fl/fl mice were shorter and smaller compared to littermate control, with a reduction in the width of dentin and pre-dentin in both the root area and the crown area. Wdr4R215L/R215L mice also exhibited tooth root shortening and dentin thinning, phenocopying the Prrx1Cre;Mettl1fl/fl mice. Moreover, METTL1-depleted human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) showed decreased ability of proliferation, migration, and odontogenic differentiation. RNA-seq revealed upregulation of the p53 signaling pathway and cell cycle arrest after deletion of Mettl1. The proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of METTL1-depleted hDPCs is partially rescued with pifithrin-α (PFT-α), a p53 signaling inhibitor. Taken together, our results demonstrate that loss of METTL1-mediated tRNA m7G modification impairs the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs via the p53 signaling pathway and affects the dentin formation during tooth root development, providing a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying small teeth.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":"813-823"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143964167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an ancillary study to Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS; NCT05232669) designed to investigate incident fracture and injurious falls in 21 442 COSMOS participants (12 666 females aged ≥65 yr and 8776 males aged ≥60 yr) randomized in a 2 × 2 factorial design to 1 of 4 intervention groups: cocoa extract + MVM, cocoa extract + MVM placebo, cocoa extract placebo + MVM, or double placebo. The daily cocoa extract supplement contained 500 mg/d flavanols and 80 mg/d (-)-epicatechin (Mars Edge); the daily MVM supplement was Centrum Silver (Haleon). The median (interquartile range) duration of the intervention was 3.6 (3.2-4.2) yr. Annually, participants self-reported incident fractures. In intention-to-treat analyses, we examined the effects of cocoa extract and MVM on the primary outcomes of total clinical fracture (hip, upper leg, forearm/wrist, pelvis, upper arm/shoulder, spine, knee, or other), hip fracture, and nonvertebral fracture, and secondary outcomes of clinical spine, forearm/wrist, major osteoporotic, and pelvic fracture using Cox proportional hazards models.

In this study, we generated mice lacking Kdm6b gene specifically in mesenchyme and osteoprogenitor cells using a conditional strategy. The adult mice of both mutant strains had decreased cancellous bone mass. The absence of Kdm6b in mesenchyme led to decreased numbers of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, increased marrow adipocytes, as well as repressed bone formation and resorption. Additionally, Kdm6b-deficient bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) displayed impaired osteogenic differentiation and exerted an inhibitory effect on osteoclastogenesis. RNA-seq combined with gene expression analysis uncovered downregulation of collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) and a lower RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio in BMSCs of the mutant mice. Further mechanistic explorations demonstrated that KDM6B epigenetically upregulated CTHRC1 expression by removing the repressive H3K27me3 mark from its promoter, thereby triggering PKCδ/MAPKs signaling to facilitate osteoblast differentiation. CTHRC1 was able to mitigate the dysregulated osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation induced by Kdm6b deficiency.
