Background. The number and activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts play an important role in skeletal biology, especially in bone reconstruction. Scientific and rational regulation of osteoclast formation and activity has become a critical strategy aimed at inhibiting the loss of bone mass in the body and alleviating the occurrence of bone diseases. Currently, there are only a few reports related to hesperetin-regulated osteoclast differentiation. Objectives. To investigate the influence of hesperetin on osteoclast-like cell differentiation and formation, and determine whether the MAPK signaling pathway is involved in the differentiation process. Materials and methods. The RAW264.7 cells were induced and cultured in vitro to promote their dif-ferentiation into osteoclast-like cells. Tetrazolium bromide was utilized to determine the effects of different concentrations (100, 200, 400, and 600 mu M) of hesperetin on the proliferation of osteoclast-like cell precursors. Osteoclast-like cell differentiation was conducted using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining assay. The status of nuclei and actin filaments of differentiated osteoclast-like cells was observed with the use of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) and actin-tracker green staining experiments. Changes in key proteins of the MAPK signaling pathway were detected using western blot. Results. The results of TRAP staining experiments showed that the number of osteoclast-like cells decreased with the increase in hesperetin concentration. The DAPI and actin-tracker green staining demonstrated that the nuclei of differentiated osteoclast-like cells reduced in size with the increase in hesperetin concentration, and the osteoclast-like cells became smaller. Western blot for key MAPK signaling pathway proteins revealed that phospho-ERK and phospho-p38 protein levels were not significantly inhibited, but phospho-JNK protein levels were reduced. Conclusions. Hesperetin inhibits the differentiation of osteoclast-like cells. Further studies revealed that hesperetin also affects the activation level of phospho-JNK, a key signaling protein of the MAPK signaling pathway, in the induced differentiation of osteoclast-like cells.
课程思政是高等学校人才培养的重要任务之一.该文以我校细胞生物学教学为例,探讨挖掘细胞生物学教学过程中思政元素的方法,并举例介绍其在课堂教学中的具体实施,以及利用线上线下课堂融合,拓展育人空间,总结在专业课程中进行思政教育的经验、不足以及后期工作的方向,从而实现知识传授和价值引领同向同行,引导学生完成立德树人的根本任务,为细胞生物学的课程思政教学改革提供参考.
新时代高等教育愈发强调课程要引入思政教育,且思政教育已在理论学科的教学中广泛推行,然而其在实践类学科的教学中体现不足.以医学细胞生物学实验课为对象进行研究,基于互联网对本课程进行混合式教学改革,并将社会主义核心价值观的内容融入其中.这不仅可以加强医学细胞生物学实验课程建设,提高任课教师的思政素质,完成多元化教育模式的改革并完善相应的课程评价体系,还能将医学细胞生物学实验课程构建成以基本理论知识和实践操作为主体,社会主义核心价值观为思政教育主导的新的实验课程教学体系.

Background: Osteoclasts are large terminal-differentiated cells with multiple nuclei and are the only cells with bone resorption activity in the body. The abnormal migration and differentiation of osteoclasts may accelerate bone absorption, a crucial process in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Regulating the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts is a breakthrough point for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Coumarin derivative of 3-(4-methoxyl)-1-(2-(4-coumarin) prop)-2-en-1-one (MCPEO) was selected in this study. We aimed to investigate the effects of (MCPEO) on osteoclast differentiation. Methods: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) were collected from 6-week-old ICR mice and inoculated in vitro. BM-MNC and RAW264.7 cells were induced by the receptor activator of nuclear factor κ B ligand (RANKL) to differentiate them into osteoclasts. The cells were then added with 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 μM MCPEO. The cell viability of differentiated osteoclasts was analyzed by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. The differentiated osteoclasts were detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Miuse osteoclast activation was investigated by absorptive activity analysis. Filamentous actin (F-actin) staining was employed to identify the formation of F-actin rings in the differentiated mouse osteoclasts. The change level of critical transcription factors related to osteoclast differentiation was determined by Western blot analysis. Results: Data show that MCPEO affected the cell viability of differentiated osteoclasts, inhibited the formation of TRAP-positive polynuclear cells, and decreased the absorption activity and the formation of F-actin rings in the differentiated osteoclasts. Furthermore, MCPEO influenced the change level of crucial transcription factors related to osteoclast differentiation. Conclusions: MCPEO inhibited the differentiation of RANKL-induced BM-MNC and RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts.

This study determined the effects of miR-338-3p on osteoclast (OC) differentiation and activation. The change levels of miR-338-3p in differentiated OCs were investigated by microRNA microarray assay and quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The effects of miR-338-3p on the differentiation and activation of OCs were determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining resorption activity assay and Western blot. Target genes of miR-338-3p were identified by target gene prediction and dual-luciferase reporter gene detection assay as well as Western blot. Results showed that miR-338-3p was markedly downregulated in differentiated OCs. miR-338-3p could inhibit the formation and absorption activity of OCs. Western blot showed that miR-338-3p could influence the change levels of OC differentiation–related proteins. Dual-luciferase reporter gene detection assay and Western blot both showed that miR-338-3p directly targeted IKKβ gene. In conclusion, miR-338-3p may affect the formation and activity of OCs by targeting the IKKβ gene.

This study determined the influence of 3-(4-methoxyl)-1-(2-(4-coumarin)prop)-2-en-1-one (MCPEO) on the differentiation of Gaoyou duck embryo osteoclasts cultured in vitro. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) were harvested from 23-day-old Gaoyou duck embryos and induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in the presence of MCPEO at different concentrations (i.e., 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM). Cell viability measurement, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, resorption activity assay, and co-staining with Tetramethylrhodamine (TRITC)-conjugated phalloidin and Hoechst 33,258 were conducted. Results indicated that MCPEO influenced the cell viability of the M-CSF + RANKL-induced BM-MNCs in a concentration-dependent manner, reduced the formation of positive multinucleated cells, and restrained the resorption capability of osteoclasts. Microfilament and nuclear staining indicated that MCPEO restricted the differentiation of BM-MNCs into large multinucleated osteoclasts. In short, MCPEO can inhibit the differentiation of BM-MNCs into mature osteoclasts in duck embryos. Therefore, MCPEO is a promising agent for the treatment of poultry osteoporosis.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the Ca2+/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase pathway inhibitor KN93 on osteoclastogenesis. RAW264.7 cells were incubated with macrophage colony‑stimulating factor (M‑CSF) + receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‑light‑chain‑enhancer of activated B cells ligand (RANKL) to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and then treated with 10 µM KN93. The methods included tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, bone resorption activity assays, filamentous (F)‑actin staining, determination of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) levels, monitoring of osteoclast‑specific gene expression levels and measurement of key transcription factors protein levels. The results suggested that KN93 inhibited the formation of TRAP‑positive multinucleated cells, shaping of F‑actin rings and resorption activity of the cells. In addition, KN93 decreased the concentration of [Ca2+]i, expression levels of osteoclast specific genes and protein levels of critical transcription factors in the M‑CSF + RANKL‑induced osteoclast model. In summary, KN93 may directly affect the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts, potentially through the Ca2+/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase signaling pathway.
