Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non‑coding RNAs that exhibit important regulatory roles in various biological processes. However, the role of circRNAs and their potential role in osteoblast differentiation and mineralization is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of mmu_circ_003795 and its effect on collagen type XV α 1 chain (COL15A1). First, it was identified that the expression levels of mmu_circ_003795 and osteopontin (OPN) were upregulated in the induced cells. Silencing of mmu_circ_003795 reduced the gene and protein levels of COL15A1 and OPN, whereas the expression level of mmu‑microRNA (miR)‑1249‑5p was upregulated. In addition, after 7 or 14 days of induction, alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin Red‑S staining were decreased in the mmu_circRNA_003795 inhibitory group compared with the negative control group. In conclusion, mmu_circ_003795 may regulate osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3‑E1 and MDPC23 cells via mmu‑miR‑1249‑5p by targeting COL15A1.

Introduction

Non-healing bone defects due to trauma, infection and tumor ablation restrict the development of oral implant restoration (1). Therefore, identifying ways to accelerate bone integration has become an urgent requirement. Due to their strong osteogenesis, ease of culture and availability, MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells are considered good candidates for alveolar bone regeneration. Osteogenesis is a complex process that is strictly regulated by numerous pathways (2). The molecular mechanism of osteogenesis and mineralization remains unclear.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of non-coding RNAs that serve important roles in multiple biological processes (3,4). Due to advances in science and technology, particularly in bioinformatics and RNA sequencing technologies, it has been determined that numerous exon transcripts can be used to form circRNAs by nonlinear reverse splicing or gene rearrangement. circRNA molecules that exhibit a closed ring structure are thought to serve an important role in bone metabolism (5,6). For example, osteogenesis can be enhanced by mm9_circ_009056, which upregulates bone morphogenetic protein 7 by targeting microRNA (miR/miRNA)-22-3p (7). Additionally, the circRNA CDR1-AS can activate Smad1/5/8 and p38 mitogen associated protein kinase pathways to promote osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells by inhibiting miR-7 expression (8). Therefore, the present study attempted to explain the molecular mechanism of osteogenesis and mineralization via circRNAs.

The authors' previous study found that mmu_circ_003795 was significantly upregulated in bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) undergoing cell proliferation, demonstrating that mmu_circ_003795 may serve an important role in the proliferation of BMSCs (9). The present study further investigated the function of mmu_circ_003795 in the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells.

Materials and methods

Cell culture

MC3T3-E1 (American Type Culture Collection) and MDPC23 (Cellcook) cells were plated on 6-well plate culture dishes at density of 1×105 cells/well. In addition, 2 ml Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was added to each well. Cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37°C.

Transfection of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), mimics and inhibitors

The siRNAs, mimics and inhibitors were designed and synthesized by Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd. (siRNA: Sense: 5′-GCUAGAACAGCAUGGUCCAdTdT-3′, antisense: 3′-dTdTCGAUCUUGUCGUACCAGGU-5′; inhibitors: 5′-UCCUCCCUCCCCUACCCGGUUCAAG-3′; mimic sense: 5′-AGGAGGGAGGGGAUGGGCCAAGUUC-3′, antisense: 5′-UCCUCCCUCCCCUACCCGGUUCAAG-3′) (Table I). MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 1×105/well. The cells were transfected with 20 nM siRNA mimics or inhibitors using GenMute™ siRNA Transfection kit and Transfection Buffer (SignaGen Laboratories) according to the manufacturer's protocol. To ensure a high silencing efficiency, the transfection medium with siRNAs was changed every 72 h. Experiments were performed 24–72 h post transfection.

Microarray hybridization

The MDPC23 cells were divided into two groups and treated as before. In the subject group, 1×105 cells were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nM siRNA of mmu_circ_003795 for 7 days. In the control groups, the cells (1×105) were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nM negative control siRNA for 7 days. The sequences of siRNA were as follows: (Sense 5′-GCUAGAACAGCAUGGUCCAdTdT-3′ and antisense 3′-dTdTCGAUCUUGUCGUACCAGGU-5′). These two groups were used to detect the expression of mRNAs and miRNAs following silencing of mmu_circRNA_003795. Total RNA from each sample was quantified using the NanoDrop ND-2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The sample preparation and microarray hybridization were performed based on the standard protocols of the BGI group (10).

Detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity

Cells were seeded into 48-well plates at a density of 5×103 cells/well. The MDPC23 and MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into two groups: The control group and the subject group. In the subject group, the cells (5×103) were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nm siRNA of mmu_circ_003795 for 14 days. In the control group, the cells (5×103) were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nM negative control siRNA for 14 days. The medium was changed every 3 days. An Alkaline Phosphatase Staining Kit (BestBio, Inc.) was used to detect the ALP activity, according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Alizarin Red-S (ARS) staining

Mineralization in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells was measured by staining with ARS. Cells were seeded in 48-well plates at a density of 5×103 cells/well. As previously the MDPC23 and MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into two groups. In the subject group, the cells were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nm siRNA of mmu_circ_003795. In the control group, the cells were treated with the induction medium containing 20 nM negative control siRNA. The medium was changed every 3 days. Following culture for 21 days, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min after washing three times with PBS at room temperature. Subsequently, the ARS solution (BestBio, Inc.) was used to stain the cells at 37°C for 30 min. The stained cells were observed by a stereo light microscope (Leica Microsystems GmbH). For quantification analysis, 10% hexadecyl pyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) was used to dissolve the mineralized nodules and then the absorbance was measured at 562 nm using a Multiskan™ FC spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.).

Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and nucleic acid electrophoresis

The total RNA of BMSCs was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The quantity and quality of RNA were determined using a NanoDrop 2000. Following RNA extraction, SuperScript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA), according to the manufacturer's protocol. In the reverse transcription reaction the temperature protocol was as follows: 65°C for 5 min and 4°C for 1 min in the first step, followed by 37°C for 1 min, 50°C for 60 min and 70°C for 15 min in the second step. Subsequently, qPCR was performed using 12.5 µl SYBR Premix EX Taq (Takara Bio, Inc.), 0.5 µl forward primer (10 pmol/l), 0.5 µl reverse primer (10 pmol/l;), 1 µl cDNA and ddH2O to create a final volume of 25 µl. The primers used are listed in Table I. The reaction conditions were as follows: 95°C for 30 sec; and 95°C for 5 sec, 55°C for 30 sec and 72°C for 30 sec for 40 cycles. The instrument automatically generated the cycle quantification (Cq) value of mRNA and the internal reference gene GAPDH. Cq value difference (ΔCq) indicated the relative expression of each mRNA investigated (11).

Identification of differentially expressed mRNAs

Quantile normalization of the original data and subsequent data processing was performed using the R software package (version 3.1.2) (12). After quantile normalization of the original data was performed, low-intensity filtering was carried out and the mRNAs with P (present) or M (marginal) (‘all target values’) tagged in at least one or two samples were retained for further analysis. When comparing the two sets of contours, the ‘fold-change’ (namely, the ratio of the group mean) between groups of mRNAs was calculated. The statistical significance of the differences between groups was determined using a t-test. mRNAs exhibiting a significant difference in expression exhibited a fold-change >2 and P<0.05. The sorting and filtering function of Microsoft Excel 2019 (Microsoft Corporation) was used to filter data, analyze output and sort the mRNAs with differential expression according to the fold-changes and P-values. In addition, gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed to classify the related mRNAs (13). miRDB (http://www.mirdb.org/), TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org/) and mirbases (http://www.mirbase.org/) were used to determine the corresponding target genes. All differentially expressed miRNAs were annotated in detail with information on the interaction between mmu_circ_003795 and miRNAs. Cytoscape (version 3.6.0; http://cytoscape.org) software was used to generate a network map.

Western blotting

Radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer [50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P40 and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate] and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride were used at 4°C to extract protein from the cells according to the standard procedure. The concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (BestBio, Inc.). Total protein (10 µg/well) was separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. Skimmed milk was used to block membranes for 1 h at room temperature, then the blots were incubated with primary antibodies against OPN (1:1,000; catalog no. ab124830; Abcam), COL15A1 (1:1,000; catalog no. PA5-69518; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and β-actin (1:5,000; catalog no. ab8226; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Following washing with 0.1% Tween PBS-T, the blots were incubated with goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5,000; catalog no. ab6799; Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature. An enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) kit (Beijing Dingguo Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was used to detect the proteins. ImageJ (version k1.45; National Institutes of Health) was used to measure densitometry.

Statistical analysis

All data were analyzed using the SPSS 11.5 software package (SPSS, Inc.). The data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation and the comparison of the data between groups was performed using paired t-test or two-way analysis of variance according to the nature of the data. Each experiment was repeated three times. The data of three groups were evaluated using analysis of variance and followed by Fisher's least significant difference post hoc test when the variance was normal, otherwise Dunnett's T3 test was used. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results

mmu_circ_003795 is upregulated during osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells

MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells were cultured with induction medium for 3 days. RT-qPCR was used to analyze the expression levels of mmu_circRNA_003795 and the osteogenic marker OPN, ALP, Sp7 transcription factor (OSX), osteocalcin (OCN) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). The results demonstrated that mmu_circRNA_003795, OPN, ALP, OSX, OCN and RUNX2 were increased (Fig. 1A). The ALP and ARS staining were performed to verify the successful induction (Fig. 1B and C). An siRNA sequence was designed to silence mmu_circRNA_003795. MDPC23 cells were transfected with negative control RNAs or siRNAs for 7 days. In the miRNA microarray, 1,729 miRNAs were different between the control and subject groups (Fig. 2A). The present study identified that mmu_circRNA_003795 is most likely bound to mmu-miR-1249-5p, mmu-miR-504-3p, mmu-miR-6399, mmu-miR-7054-5p and mmu-miR-667-5p (Fig. 2B). By comparing the aforementioned data, the present study selected mmu-miR-1249-5p as the target miRNA. The seed sequences of the circRNA were compared with miRNA sequences to identify the miRNAs that potentially bind to circRNAs (Fig. 2C).

Identification of differentially expressed mRNAs

GO analysis was performed to classify the related mRNAs. The analysis focused on ‘Biological Process’, ‘Cellular Component’ and ‘Molecular Function’ terms that may be associated with osteogenesis differentiation. The top GO terms were ranked by number of genes (Fig. 2D). miRDB (http://www.mirdb.org/), TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org/) and mirbases (http://www.mirbase.org/) were used to determine the corresponding target genes of miR1249-5p. The above data was compared with the current mRNA microarray data. According to the analysis, miR1249-5p and COL15A1 may have regulated osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MDPC23 cells.

Alterations in the expression of miR1249-5p, COL15A1 and OPN following mmu_circRNA_003795 interference

siRNA was used to knockdown mmu_circRNA_003795 in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells. Compared with the negative control group, the expression of mmu_circRNA_003795 in the siRNA group was decreased in both MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells (Fig. 3A and B). Following successful silencing of mmu_circRNA_003795, the expression of miR-1249-5p was increased both in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells (Fig. 3C and D). Compared with the negative control group, the expression of OPN was significantly decreased in the mRNA microarray. It is known that OPN is one of the early marker proteins involved in osteogenic differentiation (14). The present study speculates that OPN may be involved in regulating osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MDPC23 cells. Therefore, the current study also tried to verify the changes in OPN when interfering with circ003795 and miR-1249-5p. The expression levels of COL15A1 and OPN were significantly decreased in both cell lines (Fig. 3E and F). Western blotting revealed the same result; the western blot analysis demonstrated that silencing of mmu_circRNA_003795 reduced the protein expression levels of COL15A1 and OPN (Fig. 3G and H).

Alterations in the expression of COL15A1 and OPN following miR1249-5p interference

An inhibitor and mimic were used to knockdown and overexpress miR1249-5p, respectively, in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells. Compared with the negative control group, the expression of miR1249-5p was decreased in the inhibitor group and increased in the mimic group in both MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells (Fig. 4A and B). Following successful knockdown of miR1249-5p, the expression levels of COL15A1 and OPN were increased in MC3T3-E1 cells, whereas the expression levels of COL15A1 and OPN were decreased when miR1249-5p was overexpressed (Fig. 4C). This result was also demonstrated in MDPC23 cells (Fig. 4D). Western blotting revealed the same result. When miR1249-5p was upregulated or downregulated, the protein expression levels of COL15A1 and OPN were downregulated and upregulated, respectively (Fig. 4E and F). Compared with the negative control group, the staining and activity of ALP in the mmu_circRNA_003795 inhibition group was significantly reduced at 7 days (Fig. 5A). In addition, the ARS staining at 21 days revealed the same result. Following osteogenic induction for 21 days, the intensity of ARS staining in the mmu_circRNA_003795 inhibition group was significantly reduced. Compared with the negative control group, the matrix mineralization of the mmu_circRNA_003795 inhibition group was decreased (Fig. 5B and C).

Discussion

circRNAs are circular RNA molecules that were first identified in the 1970s (15). Using electron microscopy, Hsu and Coca-Prados observed RNA could be a cyclic form in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells (16). With the continuous improvement of technology, circRNAs have become an increasingly important research area with huge development potential. circRNAs are now understood to exhibit structural stability, have conserved sequences and be extensively expressed in mammals (17,18). Additionally, circRNAs are tissue and time specific. MDPC23 cells are mouse odontoblast cells derived from the oral dentin of mice, while MC3T3-E1 cells are derived from the bone of mice. The tissue specificity of the two may explain the differences in the osteogenic mineralization ability when mmu_circRNA_003795 was inhibited. However, this needs to be further investigated in future experiments.

COL15A1, a novel marker in osteoblasts, is associated with important biological functions in osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. Lisignoli et al (19) identified that COL15A1 is differentially expressed between osteoblasts and MSCs that were isolated from the same donors using high throughput technology. Trošt et al (20) isolated primary cultures of osteoblasts from osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic human bone tissue samples. Using genome-wide gene expression sequencing, this previous study found COL15A1 was downregulated in osteoporotic bone tissue compared with non-osteoporotic human bone tissue. However, Gabusi et al reported that when chronically stimulated by Ca2+ at certain concentrations, the osteogenic ability of human osteoblasts was significantly enhanced, whereas the expression of COL15A1 was reduced (21).

OPN is a protein widely distributed in various tissues and cells, and it can participate in tissue repair, metabolism and other functions. OPN is associated with a variety of pathological processes, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and kidney stones. OPN is also associated with physiological activities, such as cell viability, biomineralization and wound healing (2225). OPN can regulate osteoclast function by influencing the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12 and IL-3 (26). Mineralized tissues, such as tooth and bones, release OPN that is generated by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Additionally, OPN can enhance the adhesion of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and bone cells (27). In the mineralized collagen matrix during the formation of bone tissue, the adhesion of bone cells is upregulated through concentrating OPN (26,28). In the present study, MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells were cultured in osteogenic induction medium containing siRNA. When the mineralization effect was tested by ALR staining after 21 days, compared with the control group, it was identified that the mineralized nodules in the 48-well plate were reduced, which may be due to the siRNA inhibiting the expression of COL15A1 and OPN, and ultimately affecting the cell adhesion and osteogenesis. Due to their strong osteogenesis, ease of culture and availability, MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells are considered good candidates for alveolar bone regeneration (29,30). Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism that regulates the differentiation of MDPC23 and MC3T3-E1 cells. circRNAs serve an important regulatory role in physiological activities (31). As a result of their abundant, stable and cell-specific expression, circRNAs are ideal biomarkers for the diagnosis of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, bone disease and other diseases (3235). However, only a few studies have investigated the role of circRNAs during osteogenesis (36,37). Recently, the expression of circRNAs in the MC3T3-E1 cell line during osteogenic differentiation was studied (7). The present study suggested that mmu_circ_003795 regulates the osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells. The current study identified the mRNAs that are associated with the osteoblast differentiation and mineralization of MDPC23 cells.

The expression of corresponding parental genes can be increased by circRNAs through polymerase II elongation mechanism (17). Consequently, the present study investigated the regulatory role of mmu_circ_003795 by annotating the parental genes via GO analysis. The results revealed a large number of GO terms in the cellular processes and biological processes that were related to the osteogenic differentiation of cells. Previous studies have often focused on signaling proteins and osteogenic markers that play a key role in osteogenic differentiation (38,39). For example, ALP, OCN and calcium deposition have been largely studied (40). Whereas, only a few studies have evaluated the expression profile of circRNAs in osteoblastic differentiation (41,42). The present study suggested that mmu_circ_003795 may play an important role in the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 osteoblasts by targeting COL15A1. The mRNA expression levels of OPN and COL15A1 were decreased when siRNA was used to knockdown the expression of mmu_circRNA_003795. Therefore, the silencing of mmu_circRNA_003795 expression confirmed the association between mmu_circRNA_003795, mmu_miR_1249-5p, COL15A1 mRNA and OPN mRNA.

In conclusion, the preliminary observations of the present study demonstrated that mmu_circRNA_003795 can regulate osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 and MDPC23 cells by targeting COL15A1 and OPN.
