摘要:

文题释义:
ERK5(Extracellular signal regulated kinase 5):是MAPK家族成员之一,其发现较晚(1995年才发现),是由2 451 bp 的开放阅读框架编码816 个氨基酸形成的蛋白质,ERK5 不同于其他MAPK 激酶的一个特点就是拥有一个巨大的羧基端。ERK5 磷酸化后并不能直接参与调节下游的信号转录,必须要经过核转位进入细胞核内才能发挥正常的功能。ERK5对于机械刺激、应激反应、氧化应激、高渗环境、细胞因子、炎性因子等均敏感,是维持细胞正常功能较重要的一类蛋白分子,不过目前对其的研究较少。
XMD8-92:是一种ERK5的高效特异性抑制剂,可以抑制体外实验中EGF诱导的ERK5激活,而且在体内实验中不会导致实验小鼠的死亡,可以被用于体内实验。有研究表明XMD8-92在肺癌、宫颈癌和胰腺肿瘤动物模型中能够阻断ERK5的活化,显著抑制肿瘤生长,不过尚未见在骨质疏松症的研究中有过报道。

背景:虽然ERK5对于成骨细胞的生存、增殖和分化十分重要,但其对于骨组织骨代谢平衡的具体作用还不清楚。
目的:证实通过高选择性ERK5活性抑制剂XMD8-92抑制ERK5活性及其下游靶因子,将导致小鼠发生骨质疏松并加重地塞米松诱导的骨质疏松症。
方法:①体内实验:地塞米松诱导建立骨质疏松症小鼠模型。实验分4组:空白对照组(PBS):XMD8-92组(50 mg/kg);地塞米松组(50 mg/kg);XMD8-92(50 mg/kg)+地塞米松(50 mg/kg)组,连续给药5周。②细胞实验:实验分为空白对照组;XMD8-92组(5 μmol/L);地塞米松组(10×10-6 mol/L);XMD8-92+地塞米松组(先后使用5 μmol/L XMD8-92和10×10-6 mol/L的地塞米松),均孵育1 h;另外,使用表皮生长因子进行ERK5激活诱导。③检测小鼠体内和MC3T3-E1细胞内ERK5的活性;进行小鼠的骨量、骨小梁相关参数、机械应力测试及组织学观察;检测MC3T3-E1细胞中核因子κB受体活化因子配体/骨保护素的蛋白表达及XMD8-92在成骨细胞增殖和凋亡中的作用。实验已经过兰州大学第二医院伦理委员会审查通过(伦理审查批件:2016-D44)。
结果与结论①XMD8-92可以明显抑制表皮生长因子诱导的成骨细胞内ERK5激活;②XMD8-92改变了骨组织微结构,出现骨量减少和更加严重的地塞米松诱导的骨质疏松症;③XMD8-92能够明显降低小鼠骨组织的生物力学性能;④XMD8-92能够上调核因子κB受体活化因子配体/骨保护素比率、通过抑制Cyclin B1和CDK1的蛋白表达来降低成骨细胞增殖活性以及上调FasL蛋白表达进而促进成骨细胞凋亡;⑤研究表明,ERK5蛋白信号在维持骨量中起着重要的作用,尤其是在骨质疏松或糖皮质激素性骨质疏松症等疾病条件下ERK5活性的改变应被视为骨代谢平衡异的重要原因之一。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) is an essential transducer of external signals for osteoblasts growth, differentiation, and survival, the effects of ERK5 signaling on bone homeostasis in vivo have not yet been described. 
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate whether the inhibition of ERK5 activity and its downstream targets by XMD8-92 results in osteoporosis and aggravates dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis.
METHODS: In vivo experiment: A mouse model of osteoporosis was induced by dexamethasone. There were four groups: blank control group (PBS); XMD8-92 group (50 mg/kg); dexamethasone group (50 mg/kg); XMD8-92+dexamethasone group (50 mg/kg XMD8-92 plus 50 mg/kg dexamethasone). Administration was done for 5 continuous weeks. Cell experiment: There were four groups: blank control group; XMD8-92 group (5 μmol/L); dexamethasone group (10×10-6 mol/L); XMD8-92+dexamethasone group (treatment with 5 μmol/L XMD8-92 followed by 10×10-6 mol/L dexamethasone). Cells were incubated for 1 hour. In addition, ERK5 activation was induced using epidermal growth factor. ERK5 activity in mice and MC3T3-E1 cells were detected. We further detected bone mass, bone architecture and mechanical stress of the trabecular bone, measured the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/OPG) and observed the roles of XMD8-92 in osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University (No. 2016-D44). 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: XMD8-92 could block ERK5 phosphorylation, change the architecture of the trabecular bone, reduce bone mass and aggravate dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis. XMD8-92 could significantly reduce the biomechanical properties of bone tissues in mice. XMD8-92 could up-regulate RANKL/OPG rate, lower osteoblasts vitality by inhibiting Cyclin B1 and CDK1 expression, and promote osteoblast apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of FasL. The novel findings suggest that ERK5 activity plays an important role in maintenance of bone mass, and altered ERK5 activation in disease conditions such as osteoporosis or dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis should be considered as a potential mechanism for abnormal bone homeostasis.
