One hypothesis suggests a pathogenic role for hyperglycemia-induced modification of proteins, a.k.a. advanced glycation end products (AGEs), resulting in structural and functional damage to bone extracellular matrix (ECM). Evidence supporting this hypothesis has been limited by the lack of comprehensive information about the location of AGEs that accumulate in vivo at specific sites within the proteins of bone ECM. Analyzing extracts from cortical bone of cadaveric femurs by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, we generated a quantitative AGE map of human collagen I for male and female adult donors with and without diabetes. The map describes the chemical nature, sequence position, and levels of four major physiological AGEs, e.g. carboxymethyllysine, and an AGE precursor fructosyllysine within the collagen I triple-helical region. The important features of the map are: 1) high map reproducibility in the individual bone extracts, i.e. 20 male and 20 female donors; 2) localization of modifications to distinct clusters: 10 clusters containing 34 AGE sites in male donors and 9 clusters containing 28 sites in female donors; 3) significant increases in modification levels in diabetes at multiple sites: 26 out of 34 sites in males and in 17 out of 28 sites in females; and 4) generally higher modification levels in male vs. female donors. Moreover, the AGE levels at multiple individual sites correlated with total bone pentosidine levels in male but not in female donors. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular modeling predicted significant impact of modifications on solvent exposure, charge distribution, and hydrophobicity of the triple helix as well as disruptions to the structure of collagen I fibril. In summary, the AGE map of collagen I revealed diabetes-induced, sex-specific non-enzymatic modifications at distinct triple helical sites that can disrupt collagen structure, thus proposing a specific mechanism of AGE contribution to diabetic complications in human bone.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9301,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 117209"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141763234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there are limited osteoinductive therapies to promote healing, making targeting skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs) a promising avenue for therapeutic development. A limiting factor for this approach is our incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing SSPCs' behavior. We have recently identified that the Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) is expressed in sub-populations of SSPCs, and is required for maintaining bone volume during adulthood and for proper fracture healing. Lgr family members (Lgr4–6) are markers of stem cell niches and play a role in tissue regeneration primarily by binding R-Spondin (Rspo1–4). This interaction promotes canonical Wnt (cWnt) signaling by stabilizing Frizzled receptors. Interestingly, our findings here indicate that Lgr6 may also influence cWnt-independent pathways. Remarkably, Lgr6 expression was enhanced during Bmp-mediated osteogenesis of both human and murine cells. Using biochemical approaches, RNA sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis of published single-cell data, we found that elements of BMP signaling, including its target gene, pSMAD, and gene ontology pathways, are downregulated in the absence of Lgr6. Our findings uncover a molecular interdependency between the Bmp pathway and Lgr6, offering new insights into osteogenesis and potential targets for enhancing fracture healing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9301,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 117207"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141735984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we firstly isolated human BMSCs from bone marrow samples and treated with varying r-ESW doses. And we found that r-ESW could enhance the proliferation of SOP-BMSCs in a dose-dependent manner by EdU assay. Subsequently, the impact of r-ESW on the proliferation, apoptosis and multipotency of BMSCs was assessed. And the outcomes of flow cytometry, Alizarin red S (ARS), and tube formation test demonstrated that the optimal shockwave obviously boosted SOP-BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis but exhibited no significant impact on cell apoptosis. Additionally, the signaling of Piezo1 and CaMKII/CREB was examined by Western blotting, qPCR and immunofluorescence. And the results showed that r-ESW promoted the expression of Piezo1, increased intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> and activated the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway. Then, the application of Piezo1 siRNA hindered the r-ESW-induced enhancement ability of osteogenesis coupling with angiogenesis of SOP-BMSCs. The use of the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway inhibitor KN93 suppressed the Piezo1-induced increase in osteogenesis and angiogenesis in SOP-BMSCs. Finally, we also found that r-ESW might alleviate SOP in the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6) model by activating Piezo1. In conclusion, our research offers experimental evidence and an elucidated underlying molecular mechanism to support the use of r-ESW as a credible rehabilitative treatment for senile osteoporosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9301,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 117196"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141617809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
