Résumé

BACKGROUND: Fibrous scars frequently form at the sites of bone nonunion when attempts to repair bone fractures have failed. However, the detailed mechanism by which fibroblasts, which are the main components of fibrous scars, impede osteogenesis remains largely unknown. RESULTS: In this study, we found that fibroblasts compete with osteogenesis in both human bone nonunion tissues and BMP2-induced ectopic osteogenesis in a mouse model. Fibroblasts could inhibit the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via direct and indirect cell competition. During this process, fibroblasts modulated the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP in MSCs. Knocking down YAP could inhibit osteoblast differentiation of MSCs, while overexpression of nuclear-localized YAP-5SA could reverse the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation of MSCs caused by fibroblasts. Furthermore, fibroblasts secreted DKK1, which further inhibited the formation of calcium nodules during the late stage of osteogenesis but did not affect the early stage of osteogenesis. Thus, fibroblasts could inhibit osteogenesis by regulating YAP localization in MSCs and secreting DKK1. CONCLUSIONS: Our research revealed that fibroblasts could modulate the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP in MSCs, thereby inhibiting their osteoblast differentiation. Fibroblasts could also secrete DKK1, which inhibited calcium nodule formation at the late stage of osteogenesis.

Résumé

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the differentiation of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) into insulin secreting cells (ISCs) in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The hAECs were isolated from human amnion by trypsin digestion, and the phenotype of the isolated cells were identified by flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining. The hAECs at passage 3 were treated with nicotinamide and N2 supplement to investigate their differentiation into ISCs. At different times after differentiation, the expression of insulin and beta2 microglobulin (beta2-MG) was determined by immunocytochemical staining, while the content of insulin in supernatant from cultured hAECs was detected by radioimmunoassay and the expressions of insulin, pancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) hAECs expressed high percent of CD29, CD73, CD166 and CK19. (2) At 7, 14 and 21 days, the percentages of insulin-positive cells in induced groups were 74.00% +/- 1.73%, 75.33% +/- 1.15% (see symbol) 75.67% +/- 0.58% respectively, which were negative in control groups. (3) At 7, 14 and 21 days, contents of insulin in supernatant from induced groups were (328.47 +/- 3.22) microIU/ml, (332.26 +/- 1.22) microIU/ml and (329.68 +/- 2.57) microIU/ml respectively, they were significantly higher than those in control groups (All P < 0.01). (4) PDX-1 mRNA and beta2-MG were expressed before and after the induction of hAECs, but insulin mRNA was expressed only in the induced groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>hAECs can differentiate into ISCs, having the potential application for therapy of type I diabetes.</p>
