Abstract
Background
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to the development of bone tissue in areas other than the skeletal system. The development and maturation of the skeletal system are significantly influenced by macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The objective of this study was to examine the impact of MIF on the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), mediated by a positive feedback loop involving ROS/HIF-1α/MIF.
Methods
TDSCs were isolated and identified from the hind limbs of C57/BL6 mice. The functional and procedural roles of MIF in HO, focusing on the impact of MIF on the differentiation of TDSCs into bone-forming cells were investigated in vitro. Seventy-five mice were randomly assigned to five groups. Gene expression and histological analyses of MIF and its receptors, and determine the expression of osteogenic markers in vivo.
Results
The results revealed a positive and concentration-dependent effect of MIF on the osteogenic differentiation of TDSCs. Furthermore, an ROS/HIF-1α/MIF positive loop was detected in the simulated early trauma hypoxic microenvironment, resulting in a 3 to 4 folds increase in MIF expression levels. MIF was also found to enhance double the expression levels of markers associated with bone and cartilage at the site of injury, consequently facilitating the development of HO, which was thought to be associated with the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Conclusion
MIF, which mediates the ROS/HIF-1α/MIF positive feedback loop during the hypoxic phase of HO, triggers the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to enhance the osteogenic differentiation and formation of HO in TDSCs.
期刊介绍：
BONE is an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid publication of original articles and reviews on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of bone and mineral metabolism. The Journal also encourages submissions related to interactions of bone with other organ systems, including cartilage, endocrine, muscle, fat, neural, vascular, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, and immune systems. Particular attention is placed on the application of experimental studies to clinical practice.
