Article Abstract
Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are known to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). In the present study, we investigated whether PNS could promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways, which are implicated in BMSCs osteogenesis. We found that PNS enhanced the mRNA expression of OPG, β-catenin, and cyclin D1 while decreased the mRNA expression of RANKL and PPARγ2. The actions of PNS on BMSCs were reversed (or partially) by DKK-1, a classical inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. These results suggest that PNS stimulating bone formation by promoting the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and could also protect the skeletal system by decreasing bone resorption through reduction of RANKL/OPG expression via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) hold great promise for bone tissue repair and regeneration. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating the osteogenic differentiation and bone remodeling of ADSCs; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on ADSCs and constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network to identify the circTTC3/miR-205/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3) signaling axis.

Background: Critical size bone defects represent a clinical challenge, associated with considerable morbidity, and frequently trigger the requirement of secondary procedure. To fill osseous gaps, multiple steps are required, such as proliferation and differentiation on the cellular level and the building of extracellular matrix. In addition, the osteogenic potential of cell-derived extracellular matrices (CD-ECM) is known to enhance bone healing.

Maxillary underdevelopment is a critical component of skeletal Class III malocclusion, closely linked to altered biomechanical signaling. Mechanical stimulation through early facemask protraction can effectively promote maxillary growth, yet the underlying mechanotransduction mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is identified as a key biomechanical responder in maxillary development.

The important role of the EphrinB2-EphB4 signalling pathway in bone remodelling has been demonstrated, while its effect on inflammatory bone defect regeneration remains poorly understood. This study was to assess the effect of EphB4-EphrinB2 signalling on inflammation-mediated bone defect repair in murine models. The modelling method of inflammation-mediated bone defect in mice was established by intraperitoneally injecting different concentrations of TNF-α.

Natural protein-derived peptides are gaining attention for their potential in promoting health, particularly in nutraceutical formulations. In this study, calcium-binding peptides from lotus seed were produced and characterized using UV, FT-IR, Raman, and EDS, and SEM. The calcium-peptide (LSPIH-Ca) complex was subjected to its osteogenic effect in murine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (D1 MSCs).
