- Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of Osteonectin secreted by skeletal muscle in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSC)in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS).Methods Thirty patients with AIS were included and divided into the mild AIS group and the severe AIS group based on the Cobb angle measured on the X-ray films.The bone mineral density(BMD)of the lumbar spine and skeletal muscles was compared between the two groups.BMSC were collected from patients in the both groups,and the protein expression of CD73 and CD90 were detected by flow cytometry,the mRNA expression levels of Runx2,Osterix,and Osteocalcin were detected by qRT-PCR,and the activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)was detected by ELISA.The skeletal muscle from both groups was collected to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of Osteonectin,and the serum Osteonectin levels in both groups were detected by ELISA.The BMSC cultured in vitro were divided into the BMSC group(no special treatment)and the BMSC+Osteonectin group(addition of Osteonectin),and the mRNA expression levels of Runx2,Osterix and Osteocalcin,as well as ALP activity were detected.Results Compared with the mild AIS group,the severe AIS group had significantly lower BMD of the lumbar spine and skeletal muscle(P<0.05),lower mRNA expression levels of Runx2,Osterix and Osteocalcin(P<0.05)and lower ALP activity in BMSC(P<0.05),lower mRNA and protein expression levels of Osteonectin in skeletal muscle(P<0.05)and lower serum Osteonectin levels(P<0.05).Compared with the BMSC group,the mRNA expression levels of Runx2,Osterix and Osteocalcin,as well as ALP activity in the BMSC+Osteonectin group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion In patients with AIS,the secretion of Osteonectin by skeletal muscle is reduced,and the osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSC is decreased.Exogenous addition of Osteonectin can improve the osteogenic differentiation of BMSC,which may contribute to the recovery of AIS.
