Peroxiredoxin 5 (Prdx5) is involved in pathophysiological regulation via the stress-induced cellular response. However, its function in the bone remains largely unknown. Here, we show that Prdx5 is involved in osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, resulting in osteoporotic phenotypes in knockout () male mice. To investigate the function of Prdx5 in the bone, osteoblasts were analyzed through immunoprecipitation (IP) and liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods, while osteoclasts were analyzed through RNA-sequencing. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) was identified as a potential binding partner of Prdx5 during osteoblast differentiation in vitro. Prdx5 acts as a negative regulator of hnRNPK-mediated osteocalcin () expression. In addition, transcriptomic analysis revealed that in vitro differentiated osteoclasts from the bone marrow-derived macrophages of mice showed enhanced expression of several osteoclast-related genes. These findings indicate that Prdx5 might contribute to the maintenance of bone homeostasis by regulating osteoblast differentiation. This study proposes a new function of Prdx5 in bone remodeling that may be used in developing therapeutic strategies for bone diseases.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by inactivating variants of ALPL, the gene encoding tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). In order to deepen our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of HPP, we herein generated ALPL-knockout (KO) human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene deletion to an iPS clone derived from a healthy subject. We analyzed two ALPL-KO clones, one ALPL-hetero KO clone, and a control clone isogenic except for ALPL.

The objective of this research was to use a network toxicology approach to examine the possible toxicity of the cigarette toxicants nicotine and coal tar that cause osteoporosis (OP) as well as its molecular processes. We determined the primary chemical structures and 128 targets of action of tar and nicotine using the Swiss Target Prediction, NP-MRD, and PubChem databases. We discovered that genes including DNAJB1, CCDC8, LINC00888, ATP6V1G1, MPV17L2, PPCS, and TACC1 had a disease prognostic guiding value by LASSO analysis and differential analysis of GEO microarray data.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.

In the current in vitro experiment, we fabricated and characterized placenta/platelet-rich plasma (PL/Pt) composite scaffolds and evaluated their effect on differentiating adipose stem cells (ASCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. The human placenta (PL) was decellularized (dPL), characterized, and digested in pepsin. PRP was extracted using a two-step centrifugation process and then freeze-dried.

Background: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) relies on biocompatible membranes to support osteogenesis. 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE)-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) has shown promise in enhancing bone regeneration, yet its mechanisms remain unclear.
Objective: This study evaluates the osteogenic effects of xHyA-functionalized native pericardium collagen membrane (NPCM) and ribose-crosslinked collagen membrane (RCCM) using an airlift culture model with SaOS-2 cells.
