This study examined the effects of mechanical strain on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of cultured MSCs by stimulating MSCs cultured in general and adipogenic differentiation media using a mechanical strain device. Markers of osteogenic (Runx2, Osx, and I-collagen) and adipogenic (PPARγ-2, C/EBPα, and lipid droplets) differentiation were examined using real-time PCR, western blot, im...
INTRODUCTION As one group of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) have been isolated and identified as mesenchymal adult stem cells (MSCs) since 2004. It has been well accepted that PDL sensitively mediates the transmission of stress stimuli to the alveolar bone for periodontal tissue remolding. Besides, the direction of MSCs differentiation has been...
The transcription factor Sox4 is vital for fetal development, as Sox4(-/-) homozygotes die in utero. Sox4 mRNA is expressed in the early embryonic growth plate and is regulated by parathyroid hormone, but its function in bone modeling/remodeling is unknown. We report that Sox4(+/-) mice exhibit significantly lower bone mass (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) from an early age, and fail to ob...
Bone development is dynamically regulated by homeostasis, in which a balance between adipocytes and osteoblasts is maintained. Disruption of this differentiation balance leads to various bone-related metabolic diseases, including osteoporosis. In the present study, a primate-specific microRNA (miR-637) was found to be involved in the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Our ...
BACKGROUND/AIMS We investigated the role of dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenesis mediated by RhoA/ROCK. METHODS BMSCs were cultured with and without DMOG and/or Y-27632 (ROCK1 inhibitor). Cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, and calcium deposits were determined. The expression of Runx2, OSX, p-cofilin, RhoA, and GTP-bound RhoA...
OBJECTIVE Endothelial cells (ECs) can undergo an endothelial-mesenchymal transition with tissue fibrosis. Wnt- and Msx2-regulated signals participate in arteriosclerotic fibrosis and calcification. We studied the impact of Wnt7, Msx2, and Dkk1, a Wnt7 antagonist, on endothelial-mesenchymal transition in primary aortic ECs. APPROACH AND RESULTS Transduction of aortic ECs with vectors expressin...
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that inhibits osteoblast differentiation while stimulating osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. TNF-α activates MAP kinase pathway leading to inhibition of osterix (Osx) expression. TNF-α also induces the expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase protein Smurf1 and Smurf2 and promotes degradation of Runx2, another key t...
BACKGROUND INFORMATION NF-κB signaling pathway plays a complicated role in the biological functions of mesenchymal stem cells. However, the effects of NF-κB pathway on the odonto/osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) remain unclear. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of canonical NF-κB pathway on the osteo/odontogenic capacity of SCAPs in vitro...
