英文摘要:
Strontium (Sr2+) has pronounced effects on stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption in bone regeneration. In this current study, the effect and the underlying mechanism involved of Sr2+ on the biological activity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were studied in detail with pluripotent skeletal muscle myogenic progenitor C2C12 model cell line. The results indicated that Sr2+ could bind recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) rapidly, even in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, and inhibited rhBMP-2-induced osteogenic differentiation in vitro and osteogenetic efficiency in vivo. Further studies demonstrated that Sr2+ treatment undermined the binding capacity of rhBMP-2 with its receptor BMPRIA and thus attenuated Smad 1/5/8 phosphorylation without affecting their dephosphorylation in C2C12 cells. Furthermore, circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy all revealed that the inhibitory effect of Sr2+ on the rhBMP-2 osteogenic activity was associated with the formation of Sr-rhBMP-2 complex and ensuing enhancement of (3-sheet structure. Our work suggests the activity of rhBMP-2 to induce osteogenic differentiation was decreased by directly interaction with free Sr ions in solution, which should provide guide and assist for development of BMP-2-based materials for bone regeneration. Statement of Significance Due to easy denaturation and ensuing the reduced activity of rhBMP-2, preserving/enhancing the capacity of rhBMP-2 to induce osteogenic differentiation is of critical importance in developing the protein based therapy. Cations as effective elements influence the conformation and thereby the bioactivity of protein. Strontium (Sr2+), stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption, has been incorporated into biomaterials/scaffold to improve the bioactivity for bone-regeneration applications. However, Sr2+-induced changes in the conformation and bioactivity of BMP-2 have never been investigated. In this study, the formation of Sr-rhBMP-2 complex inhibited the osteogenic differentiation in vitro and osteogenetic efficiency in vivo through the inhibition of BMP/Smad signaling pathway, providing guidance for development of Sr-containing BMP-2-based bone scaffold/matrice and other Sr-dopped protein therapy.
