Lacking effective therapies highlights the importance of finding novel treatments. Our previous study screened a novel bioactive peptide D7 and demonstrated it could enhance the cell behaviors and protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Since BMSCs are progenitor cells of osteoblast (OB), we therefore ask whether D7 could also protect against the progress of inflammatory osteolysis. To validate our hypothesis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we first performed network pharmacology-based analysis according to the molecule structure of D7, and then followed by pharmacological evaluation on D7 by in vitro lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced models. The result from network pharmacology identified 20 candidate targets of D7 for inflammatory osteolysis intervention. The further analysis of Gene Ontology (GO)/KEGG pathway enrichment suggested the therapeutic effect of D7 may primarily affect osteoclast (OC) differentiation and function during the inflammatory osteolysis. Through validating the real effects of D7 on OC and OB as postulated, results demonstrated suppressive effects of D7 on LPS-stimulated OC differentiation and resorption, via the inhibition on OC marker genes. Contrarily, by improving the expression of OB marker genes, D7 displayed promotive effects on OB differentiation and alleviated LPS-induced osteogenic damage. Further mechanism study revealed that D7 could reduce LPS-induced ROS formation and strengthen antioxidants expressions in both OC and OB precursors, ameliorating LPS-triggered redox imbalance in bone remodeling. Taken together, our findings unveiled therapeutic effects of D7 against LPS-induced inflammatory osteolysis through the suppression of oxidative stress and the restoration of the bone remodeling process, providing a new therapeutic candidate for chronic inflammatory bone diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":69833,"journal":{"name":"计算机科学","volume":"45 1","pages":"4913534"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9107052/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87894302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
