SDF-1α promotes subchondral bone sclerosis and aggravates osteoarthritis by regulating the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
Subchondral bone sclerosis is a major feature of osteoarthritis (OA), and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are presumed to play an important role in subchondral bone sclerosis. Accumulating evidence has shown that stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) plays a key role in bone metabolism-related diseases, but its role in OA pathogenesis remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of SDF-1α expressed on BMSCs in subchondral bone sclerosis in an OA model.. In the present study, C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following three groups: the sham control, destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), and AMD3100-treated DMM (DMM + AMD3100) groups. The mice were sacrificed after 2 or 8 weeks, and samples were collected for histological and immunohistochemical analyses. OA severity was assessed by performing hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and safranin O-fast green staining. SDF-1α expression in the OA model was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR), and immunohistochemistry. Micro-CT was used to observe changes in subchondral bone in the OA model. CD44, CD90, RUNX2, and OCN expression in subchondral bone were measured using q-PCR and immunohistochemistry. In vitro, BMSCs were transfected with a recombinant lentivirus expressing SDF-1α, an empty vector (EV), or siRNA-SDF-1α. Western blot analysis, q-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were used to confirm the successful transfection of BMSCs. The effect of SDF-1α on BMSC proliferation was evaluated by performing a CCK-8 assay and cell cycle analysis. The effect of SDF-1α on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was assessed by performing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining. Cyclin D1, RUNX2 and OCN expression were measured using Western blot analysis, q-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining.. SDF-1α expression in the DMM-induced OA model increased. In the DMM + AMD3100 group, subchondral bone sclerosis was alleviated, OA was effectively relieved, and CD44, CD90, RUNX2, and OCN expression in subchondral bone was decreased. In vitro, high levels of SDF-1α promoted BMSC proliferation and increased osteogenic differentiation. Cyclin D1, RUNX2, and OCN expression increased.. The results of this study reveal a new molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of OA. The targeted regulation of SDF-1α may be clinically effective in suppressing OA progression.

Neurotrophin 3 upregulates proliferation and collagen production in human aortic valve interstitial cells: a potential role in aortic valve sclerosis.
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a leading cardiovascular disorder in the elderly. Diseased aortic valves are characterized by sclerosis (fibrosis) and nodular calcification. Sclerosis, an early pathological change, is caused by aortic valve interstitial cell (AVIC) proliferation and overproduction of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. However, the mechanism of aortic valve sclerosis remains unclear. Recently, we observed that diseased human aortic valves overexpress growth factor neurotrophin 3 (NT3). In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that NT3 is a profibrogenic factor to human AVICs. AVICs isolated from normal human aortic valves were cultured in M199 growth medium and treated with recombinant human NT3 (0.10 µg/ml). An exposure to NT3 induced AVIC proliferation, upregulated the production of collagen and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), and augmented collagen deposition. These changes were abolished by inhibition of the Trk receptors. NT3 induced Akt phosphorylation and increased cyclin D1 protein levels in a Trk receptor-dependent fashion. Inhibition of Akt abrogated the effect of NT3 on cyclin D1 production. Furthermore, inhibition of either Akt or cyclin D1 suppressed NT3-induced cellular proliferation and MMP-9 and collagen production, as well as collagen deposition. Thus, NT3 upregulates cellular proliferation, ECM protein production, and collagen deposition in human AVICs. It exerts these effects through the Trk-Akt-cyclin D1 cascade. NT3 is a profibrogenic mediator in human aortic valve, and overproduction of NT3 by aortic valve tissue may contribute to the mechanism of valvular sclerosis.

Topographical, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of carcinoma in situ of the breast involving sclerosing adenosis. Two distinct topographical patterns and histological types of carcinoma in situ.
To examine the histopathological features of 24 surgically resected carcinoma in situ (CIS) involving sclerosing adenosis (SA), with special reference to the topographical relationship between CIS and SA.. In 13 (54%) lesions, CIS was entirely surrounded by SA (type A) and in 11 (46%), CIS involved SA at least focally but was not confined to the SA area (type B). The mean size of CIS in type B (30.45 mm) was significantly larger than in type A (18.00 mm). The mean size of SA in type A (39.46 mm) was significantly larger than in type B (19.54 mm). Most type A CIS were non-high-grade, and the oestrogen receptor (ER)(+)/progesterone receptor (PgR)(+)/HER2(-) immunophenotype predominated. Most type B CIS were high-grade and six (54%) were ER(-)/PgR(-). Most type A were bcl-2(+)/p53(-) in both SA and CIS areas, but two (18%) apocrine ductal CIS of type B were bcl-2(-)/p53(+) in both SA and CIS areas. Expression of ER and cyclin D1 in SA was not different from that of SA unassociated with cancer.. Most CIS involving SA arises within SA and high-grade DCIS tends to grow beyond SA. Occasional CIS may arise outside SA and secondarily involve SA.
