The effect of 3-hydroxybutyrate on the in vitro differentiation of murine osteoblast MC3T3-E1 and in vivo bone formation in ovariectomized rats

3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), one of the degradation products of microbial biopolyesters polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), is a high energy metabolic substrate in animals. This study evaluated the effects of 3HB on growth of osteoblasts in vitro and on anti-osteoporosis in vivo. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay, Van Kossa assay and Alizarin S red staining were used to study in vitro differentiation of murine osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. The intensity of in vitro cell differentiation measured in ALP was in direct proportion to the concentration of 3HB when it was lower than 0.01 g/L. Calcium deposition, a strong indication of cell differentiation, also showed an obvious increase with increasing 3HB concentration from 0-0.1g/L, evidenced by Alizarin red S staining and Van Kossa assay. RT-PCR also showed significantly higher expression of osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA in MC3T3-E1 cells after 3HB administration. In vivo study using female Wistar rats (3 months old, n=80) allocated into normal, sham-operated or ovariectomized (OVX) group that led to decreasing bone mineral density (BMD), bone histomorphometry and biomechanics compared with normal and sham groups, had demonstrated that 3HB increased serum ALP activity and calcium deposition, decreased serum OCN, prevented BMD reduction resulting from OVX. All these led to enhanced femur maximal load and bone deformation resistance, as well as improved trabecular bone volume (TBV%). In conclusion, 3HB monomer containing PHA can be effective bone growth stimulating implant materials.     

纳米级多孔负载人骨形成蛋白2基因修饰支架对前成骨细胞株分化的影响

BACKGROUND: Bone tissue transplantation or osteogenic material filling is after used for bone defect repair. To remove autologous bone tissues can lead to additional damage and secondary deformity, therefore, it is extremely urgent to search for a new osteogenic material. OBJECTIVE: To construct the porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/collagen scaffold modified with human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) gene, and to observe its effects on differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cell lines. METHODS: The porous β-TCP/collagen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene was prepared. Then in vitro culture system of MC3T3-E1 cell lines with composite scaffold was established. There were scaffold and plate groups, and each group was divided into two subgroups according to the different concentrations of plasmid. Samples were collected and observed morphologically by scanning electron microscope and light microscope after complex culture. After 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of induction, calcium nodules were observed through alizarin red staining, the cell cycle was detected by real-time PCR, and expressions of α I-chain collagen type I gene, Osterix and bone sialoprotein were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of cells adhered, differentated and distributed on the composite scaffold was significantly higher than that of the single scaffold (P < 0.05). Alizarin red staining and real-time PCR detection showed that the osteogenesis ability of MC3T3-E1 cell lines in the scaffold group was stronger than that in the plate group. To conclude, the porous β-TCP/collagen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene is an appropriate candidate for bone defect repair.     

Low molecular weight molecules of oyster nacre induce mineralization of the MC3T3-E1 cells

The nacre layer from the pearl oyster shell is considered as a promising osteoinductive biomaterial. Nacre contains one or more signal molecules capable of stimulating bone formation. The identity and the mode of action of these molecules on the osteoblast differentiation were analyzed. Water-soluble molecules from nacre were fractionated according to dialysis, solvent extraction, and reversed-phase HPLC. The activity of a fraction composed of low molecular weight molecules in the mineralization of the MC3T3-E1 extracellular matrix was investigated. Mineralization of the preosteoblast cells was monitored according to alizarin red staining, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and quantitative RT-PCR. Molecules isolated from nacre, ranging from 50 to 235 Da, induced a red alizarin staining of the preosteoblasts extracellular matrix after 16 days of culture. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of hydroxyapatite (HA) in samples treated with these molecules. Scanning electron microscopy pictures showed at the surface of the treated cells the occurrence of clusters of spherical particles resembling to HA. The treatment of cells with nacre molecules accelerated expression of collagen I and increased the mRNA expression of Runx2 and osteopontin. This study indicated that the nacre molecules efficient in bone cell differentiation are certainly different from proteins, and could be useful for in vivo bone repair.     

Magnolol Protects Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 Cells Against Antimycin A-Induced Cytotoxicity Through Activation of Mitochondrial Function

Antimycin A treatment of cells blocks the mitochondrial electron transport chain and leads to elevated ROS generation. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of magnolol, a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from Magnolia officinalis, on antimycin A-induced toxicity in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were pre-incubated with magnolol before treatment with antimycin A. Cell viability and mineralization of osteoblasts were assessed by MTT assay and Alizarin Red staining, respectively. Mitochondrial dysfunction in cells was measured by mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), complex IV activity, and ATP level. The cellular antioxidant effect of magnolol in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells was assessed by measuring cardiolipin oxidation, mitochondrial superoxide levels, and nitrotyrosine content. Phosphorylated cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB ) was evaluated using ELISA assay. Pretreatment with magnolol prior to antimycin A exposure significantly reduced antimycin A-induced osteoblast dysfunction by preventing MMP dissipation, ATP loss, and CREB inactivation. Magnolol also reduced cardiolipin peroxidation, mitochondrial superoxide, and nitrotyrosine production induced by antimycin A. These results suggest that magnolol has a protective effect against antimycin A-induced cell damage by its antioxidant effects and the attenuation of mitochondrial dysfunction. All these data indicate that magnolol may reduce or prevent osteoblast degeneration in osteoporosis or other degenerative disorders.
