Amyloid precursor protein (APP), especially Swedish mutant APP (APPswe), is recognized as a significant pathogenic protein in Alzheimer's disease, but limited research has been conducted on the correlation between APPswe and the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The effects of APPswe and its intracellular and extracellular segments on the osteogenic differentiation of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2)-induced MSCs were analyzed in this study. Our analysis of an existing database revealed that APP was positively correlated with the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs but negatively correlated with their proliferation and migration. Furthermore, APPswe promoted BMP2-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, while APPswe-C (APPswe without an intracellular segment) had the opposite effect; thus, the intracellular domain of APPswe may be a key factor in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Additionally, both APPswe and APPswe-C inhibited the proliferation and migration of MSCs. Furthermore, the intracellular domain of APPswe inhibited the activity of the Notch pathway by regulating the expression of the Notch intracellular domain to promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Finally, APPswe-treated primary rat bone marrow MSCs exhibited the most favorable bone repair effect when a GelMA hydrogel loaded with BMP2 was used for experiments, while APPswe-C had the opposite effect. These findings demonstrate that APPswe promotes the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by regulating the Notch pathway, but its extracellular segment blocks the self-renewal, proliferation, and migration of MSCs, ultimately leading to a gradual decrease in the storage capacity of MSCs and affecting long-term bone formation.

Hepatocyte proliferation is essential for recovering liver function after injury. In liver surgery, the mechanical stimulation induced by hemodynamic changes triggers vascular endothelial cells (VECs) to secrete large amounts of cytokines that enhance hepatocyte proliferation and play a pivotal role in liver regeneration. Piezo1, a critical mechanosensory ion channel, can detect and convert mechanical forces into chemical signals, importing external stimuli into cells and triggering downstream biological effects. However, the precise role of Piezo1 in VECs, especially in terms of mediating liver regeneration, remains unclear. Here, we report on a potential mechanism by which early changes in hepatic portal hemodynamics activate Piezo1 in VECs to promote hepatocyte proliferation during the process of liver regeneration induced by portal vein ligation in rats. In this liver regeneration model, hepatocyte proliferation is mainly distributed in zone 1 and zone 2 of liver lobules at 24–48 h after surgery, while only a small number of Ki67-positive hepatocytes were observed in zone 3. Activation of Piezo1 promotes increased secretion of epiregulin and amphiregulin from VECs via the PKC/ERK1/2 axis, further activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERK1/2 signals in hepatocytes and promoting proliferation. In addition, cytokines secreted by Piezo1-activated VECs can induce hepatocytes to undergo epithelial–mesenchymal transition. In the liver lobules, the expression of EGFR in hepatocytes of zone 1 and zone 2 is significantly higher than that in zone 3. The EGFR inhibitor gefitinib inhibits liver regeneration by suppressing the proliferation of hepatocytes in the middle zone. Thus, activation of Piezo1 in VECs promotes hepatocyte proliferation, suggesting mechanical stimulation regulates hepatocyte proliferation in zone 1 and zone 2 during portal vein ligation-induced liver regeneration. These data provide a theoretical basis for the regulation of liver regeneration through chemical signals mediated by mechanical stimulation.
