2.Research progress of bone morphogenetic proteins-9 induced periodontal ligament stem cells osteogenesis differentiation and it′s signal pathway
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(12):1327-1332
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) superfamily and play critical roles in skeletal development, bone formation and stem cell differentiation.BMP9 is one of the most osteogenic BMPs, promoting osteogenesis differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells ( PDLSCs) both in vitro and in vivo.Recently, signal transduc-tion studies have revealed that BMP-Receptor-Smads and BMP-Receptor-Mitogen activated protein kinase ( MAPK) play vital roles in BMP9 which promote PDLSCs osteogenesis differentiation.Several studies revealed that transcription factors closely associated with os-teogenesis differentiation are found in the downstream of the Smads and MAPK pathways.This review aims to summarize our current knowledge of BMP9-mediated osteogenesis by presenting recently completed works which may help us to further elucidate these path-ways.

Objective:To determine the mechanism of sunitinib-induced autophagy in renal cell carci-noma cells.Methods:MTS assay was applied to detect the cell viability alteration under the treatment of sunitinib (2,8 μmol /L).The sunitinib-induced autophagy as well as cell apoptosis was measured and compared after knocking down autophagy-related protein Beclin1 and microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 fusion protein (LC3)by RNA interference.The transmission electron microscope was used to observe the formation of autophagosomes in ACHN cells.The fluorescence microscope was used to mo-nitor distribution and aggregation of endogenous LC3-Ⅱ.The expressions of protein such as LC3-Ⅱ,the autophagic regulation molecules protein kinase B /mammalian target of rapamycin (Akt/mTOR)and the symbol of apoptosis poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP)were capable to be detected by immunoblotting assay.Results:Sunitinib was able to significantly trigger cell viability loss in the renal carcinoma cell ACHN,which was both in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner (P <0.05 ).After reducing the autophagy by knocking down Beclin1 and LC3,the number of cleavage of PARP was in-creased remarkably,whereas there was nearly not any cleavage in the mock group.By the transmission electron microscope,there were more autophagic vacuoles in ACHN cells after being administrated with sunitininb compared with the control.And the nuclear-to-cytosol translocation as well as aggregation of LC3-Ⅱ was presented after sunitinib treatment by the fluorescence microscope,which was the proof of the enhanced autophagy.According to the immunoblotting,sunitinib was able to increase the accumula-tion of LC3-Ⅱ.At the same time,the result of sunitinib combined with chloroquine,a drug which blocked the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes,demonstrated that the increasing amount of LC3-Ⅱwas due to the enhanced autophagy flux by sunitinib treatment in ACHN cells.However,phosphorylation of Akt as well as mTOR was decreased at the same time.The rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor)or knocking down Akt subunits could change the sunitinib-induced LC3-Ⅱ accumulation,whereas overexpression of Akt subunits decreased the autophagic flux,indicating that Akt/mTOR was the target of sunitinib in auto-phagy.Conclusion:Sunitinib induced autophagy via suppressing Akt/mTOR pathway,and the auto-phagy was involved in apopotosis.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of strontium ranelate and PTH(1-34)on bone quality of ovariectomized rats. METHODS:80 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(group A,n=10)and dual ovariectomy(group B,n=70). 3 months after operation,group B were randomly divided into 7 groups,with 10 rats in each group. B0 group were given nor-mal saline [0.9 g/(kg·d)] subcutaneously;B1-B3 groups were given low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose of strontium ranelate [0.45,0.9,1.35 g/(kg·d)] intragastrically;B4-B6 groups were given low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose of PTH(1-34)[30, 60,90 μg/(kg·d),treated for 5 days,rested for 2 days] subcutaneously. Group A was same to group B0 in therapy regimen. All rats were sacrificed 8 weeks later. The contents of P1NP and CTX-1 in serum of rats were determined by ELISA assay;bone densi-ty of 4th lumbar vertebrae was detected by bone densitometer;BV/TV,Tb.Th,Tb.N and Tb.Sp were detected by CT;maximal load and elastic modulus of 5th lumbar vertebrae were measured by compression test. RESULTS:Compared with group A,the se-rum levels of P1NP and CTX-1 in B0-B6 groups increased significantly,while bone density of 4th lumbar vertebrae,maximal load and elastic modulus of 5th lumbar vertebrae decreased significantly in B0-B3 groups(P<0.05);BV/TV level of 4th lumbar verte-brae decreased significantly,while Tb.Sp level increased significantly in B0 group(P<0.05). Compared with B0 group,bone den-sity of 4th lumbar vertebrae,maximal load and elastic modulus of 5th lumbar vertebrae increased significantly in B1-B3 groups (P<0.05);P1NP content,BV/TV,Tb.N level,bone density of 4th lumbar vertebrae,maximal load and elastic modulus of 5th lumbar vertebrae increased significantly in B4-B6 groups,and were higher than in B1-B3 groups(P<0.05). Tb.Sp level of B1-B6 groups decreased significantly and were lower than those of B1-B3 groups(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in Tb.Th level among 8 groups and CTX-1 content among B0-B6 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:PTH(1-34) is better than strontium ranelate in inhibiting bone loss,improving vertebral bone micro-structure and biomechanical properties of ovariectomized rats.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of enteral nutrition powder in children with phenylketonuria(PKU)under one year. METHODS:120 PKU children under one year were selected and given enteral nutrition powder(20 g/kg,qd)for consecutive 32 weeks. The level of benzene,height,weight,head circumference,IQ level,nutrition indicators and ADR were compared be-fore treatment,8 weeks after treatment,32 weeks after treatment. RESULTS:8 and 32 weeks after treatment,the level of benzene decreased gradually,and height,weight and head circumference increased gradually,with statistical significance(P<0.05). IQ lev-el of children after 8 weeks treatment were better than before,and those of children after 32 weeks treatment were better than after 8 weeks treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). 8 and 32 weeks after treatment,nutrition indicators were improved sig-nificantly,compared with before treatment;ALT,Alb and TP levels 32 weeks after treatment were significantly better than 8 weeks after treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in BUN,TBil and Pa levels between 32 weeks after treatment and 8 weeks after treatment(P>0.05). 66 cases suffered from 181 times of ADR,mainly including 10 times diarrhea and 126 times upper respiratory tract infection,among which one children developed moderate gastroen-teritis. They were all recovered after symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSIONS:For PKU children under one year,enteral nutrition powder can effectively control the phenylalanine levels,prevent the decrease of IQ and improve the nutritional status so as to meet the normal growth and development of children nutritional requirements,with better safety and tolerance.
