摘要:


文题释义:

激活转录因子7相互作用蛋白(activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein,Atf7ip):作为组蛋白甲基转移酶SETDB1的辅因子共同调节组蛋白甲基化,通过调控特定转录因子的表达从而调控成骨分化。
成骨分化:骨生成的关键步骤,即骨髓间充质干细胞经历成骨祖细胞、成骨前体细胞、成骨细胞并最终分化为成熟骨细胞的过程,其中涉及到多种信号通路、转录因子、生长因子等的改变。


背景:Atf7ip是否参与成骨分化的调控尚未明确,研究其对成骨分化的影响及具体机制具有重要意义。

目的:探讨Atf7ip对骨形态发生蛋白2促小鼠胚胎成骨细胞前体细胞(MC3T3-E1)成骨分化的影响。
方法:将体外培养的MC3T3-E1细胞分为正常组、干扰组(NC-siRNA组、Atf7ip-siRNA组)、高表达组(CMV-VC组、CMV-Atf7ip组),转染处理24 h,然后使用200 ng/mL骨形态发生蛋白2分别处理0,12,24,48 h,qRT-PCR检测各组细胞中Atf7ip、碱性磷酸酶、骨钙素、Ⅰ型胶原α1的mRNA表达水平,Western blot检测成骨分化标记分子Sp7、Runx2的蛋白表达以及Atf7ip结合分子SETDB1、组蛋白H3、H3K9me3甲基化的表达,并进行碱性磷酸酶活性分析。

结果与结论:①随骨形态发生蛋白2处理时间增加,Atf7ip的蛋白及mRNA表达减少,而Sp7、Runx2的蛋白表达和骨钙素、碱性磷酸酶的mRNA表达显著增加(P < 0.05);Atf7ip结合分子SETDB1的蛋白表达并无明显改变;②与NC-siRNA组比较,Atf7ip-siRNA组Sp7、Runx2的蛋白表达和骨钙素、Ⅰ型胶原α1的mRNA表达显著上调(P < 0.05),碱性磷酸酶活性明显增强,且H3K9甲基化明显降低(P < 0.05);③与CMV-VC组比较,CMV-Atf7ip组Sp7、Runx的蛋白表达和骨钙素、碱性磷酸酶、Ⅰ型胶原α1的mRNA表达显著下调(P < 0.05),碱性磷酸酶活性显著减弱,而CMV-Atf7ip组的H3K9甲基化蛋白较对照组明显上调(P < 0.05);④结果表明,Atf7ip在骨形态发生蛋白2诱导MC3T3-E1成骨分化过程中表达降低,敲降Atf7ip后成骨分化显著增强,过表达Atf7ip后成骨分化显著减弱,即Atf7ip是骨形态发生蛋白2促MC3T3-E1细胞成骨分化的负调节因子。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Whether activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein (Atf7ip) is involved in the regulation in osteogenic differentiation is still controversial, and studying its impact on osteogenic differentiation and its specific mechanisms is of great significance.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Atf7ip on bone morphogenetic protein 2 promoting osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1).
METHODS: MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in vitro were divided into three groups: normal group, interference group (NC-siRNA group, Atf7ip-siRNA group), and high expression group (CMV-VC group and CMV-Atf7ip group), and were transfected for 24 hours, and then treated with 200 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein 2 for 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of Atf7ip, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, type I collagen α1 in the cells of each group. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of osteogenic differentiation markers Sp7 and Runx2, and the expression of Atf7ip binding molecule SETDB1, histone H3 and H3K9me3. Alkaline phosphatase activity was detected by alkaline phosphatase staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) With the increase of bone morphogenetic protein 2 treatment time, the protein and mRNA expression of Atf7ip decreased, while the protein expression of Sp7, Runx2 and the mRNA expression of osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase increased significantly (P < 0.05). There was no significant change in the protein expression of Atf7ip binding molecule SETDB1. (2) Compared with the NC-siRNA group, the protein expression of Sp7, Runx2 and the mRNA expression of osteocalcin and type I collagen α1 were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05), and alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly enhanced; and H3K9 methylation significantly decreased in the Atf7ip-siRNA group (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the CMV-VC group, the protein expression of Sp7 and Runx, as well as mRNA expression of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and type I collagen α1 was significantly downregulated (P < 0.05), and the alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly reduced in the CMV-Atf7ip group, while the H3K9 methylation protein in the CMV-Atf7ip group was significantly upregulated compared to the control group (P < 0.05). (4) In conclusion, Atf7ip expression was decreased during bone morphogenetic protein 2-induced osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1, and osteogenic differentiation was significantly increased after knockdown of Atf7ip. Overexpression of Atf7ip significantly weakened osteogenic differentiation, indicating that Atf7ip is a negative regulatory factor of bone morphogenetic protein 2 promoting osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.
