摘要:

文题释义:
骨形态发生蛋白2(bone morphogenetic protein-2,BMP-2):是转化生长因子β超家族成员之一,具有诱导未分化间充质干细胞向成软骨细胞和成骨细胞定向分化与增殖的能力,促进成骨细胞分化成熟,参与骨和软骨生长发育及其重建过程,进而促进骨形成。
骨硬化蛋白(sclerostin,SOST)基因:骨细胞表达骨硬化蛋白基因分泌的一种半胱氨酸糖蛋白,即骨硬化蛋白,属于一种骨形成的负调控因子,可通过调节骨成骨细胞与破骨细胞在重建过程中发挥重要作用。

背景:骨形态发生蛋白2可以促进成骨作用,骨细胞通过表达骨硬化蛋白基因分泌骨硬化蛋白进而抑制成骨细胞的成骨作用;有研究发现骨形态发生蛋白家族直接作用骨细胞时可促进骨硬化蛋白的分泌,这与骨形态发生蛋白的正向成骨作用相矛盾。
目的:探究骨形态发生蛋白2对促进成骨细胞增殖能力及间接调控骨细胞表达骨硬化蛋白基因的机制。
方法:体外分别以不同质量浓度(4,8,16,32,64,125,250,500,1 000 μg/L)的骨形态发生蛋白2干预小鼠成骨样细胞MC-3T3-E1细胞,CCK-8法检测促进MC-3T3-E1细胞增殖的最佳作用浓度,然后通过MC-3T3-E1细胞与小鼠骨样细胞MLO-Y4细胞共培养技术,探究骨形态发生蛋白2间接调控骨细胞骨硬化蛋白基因表达的影响,通过RT-PCR检测MC-3T3-E1细胞中可能发生变化的基因,筛选出MC-3T3-E1细胞的目的基因,验证目的基因对MLO-Y4细胞表达骨硬化蛋白的影响。
结果与结论:①骨形态发生蛋白2对成骨细胞具有显著的促增殖作用,相对于其他质量浓度,250 μg/L具有最佳作用;②RT-PCR实验结果显示,骨形态发生蛋白2可间接调控骨细胞骨硬化蛋白基因的表达,促进骨硬化蛋白表达量的下调(P < 0.01);③目的基因筛选结果显示,相对于其他基因,成骨细胞核因子κB受体活化因子配体表达量的下调与骨保护素表达量的上调(P < 0.01);④目的基因验证结果证明,骨形态发生蛋白2可能是通过间接影响成骨细胞表达骨保护素与核因子κB受体活化因子配体的改变,进而影响MLO-Y4细胞中骨硬化蛋白的表达,从而实现正向促进成骨。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) can promote osteogenesis, and osteocytes secrete sclerostin by expressing SOST gene to inhibit the osteogenic effect of osteoblasts. Some studies have found that BMPs family can promote the secretion of osteosclerotic protein when directly acting on osteocytes, but this contradicts the positive osteogenic effect of BMPs. 
OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of BMP-2 indirectly regulating the expression of sclerostin gene in osteocytes.
METHODS: Mouse MC-3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of BMP-2 (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 125, 250, 500 and 1 000 μg/L) in vitro. The best concentration of BMP-2 to promote the proliferation of MC-3T3-E1 cells was detected by cell counting kit-8. Then the effect of BMP-2 on the indirect regulation of sclerostin gene expression in osteocytes was studied by co-culture of MC-3T3-E1 cells and MLO-Y4 cells. The possible altered genes in MC-3T3-E1 cells were detected by RT-PCR, and the target genes of MC-3T3-E1 cells were screened to verify the effect of target genes on the expression of sclerostin in MLO-Y4 cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMP-2 could significantly promote the proliferation of osteoblasts. Compared with other concentrations, 250 μg/L had the best effect. The results of RT-PCR experiment showed that BMP-2 could indirectly regulate the expression of sclerostin gene and promote the down-regulation of sclerostin expression in osteocytes (P < 0.01). The results of target gene screening showed that, compared with other genes, the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in osteoblasts was significantly downregulated and the expression of osteoprotegerin in osteoblasts was significantly upregulated (P < 0.01). The results of target gene verification showed that BMP-2 may indirectly affect the expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in osteocytes, and then affect the expression of sclerostin in MLO-Y4 cells, thus positively promoting osteogenesis.
