Abstract

Resveratrol is well known as a natural polyphenol abundantly found in red wine. We previously reported that bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis via p70 S6 kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of resveratrol on the BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis in MC3T3-E1 cells. Resveratrol significantly suppressed BMP-4-stimulated release and expression levels of VEGF mRNA. SRT1720, an activator of SIRT1 with potencies greater than resveratrol, also reduced VEGF release and the mRNA levels. Both resveratrol and SRT1720 markedly attenuated the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase without affecting the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8. These findings strongly suggest that resveratrol attenuates BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis through suppression of the activation of p70 S6 kinase in osteoblasts, and that the inhibitory effect is mediated at least in part by SIRT1 activation.

Introduction

Bone metabolism is strictly regulated by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone formation and bone resorption, respectively (1). These functional cells are considered to affect one another via humoral factors as well as by direct cell-to-cell interaction. It has been firmly established that osteoblasts also play a crucial role in the regulation of bone resorption through receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in response to a variety of bone resorptive stimuli (2). The resorption of preexisting bone by osteoclasts and the formation of new bone by osteoblasts, bone remodeling, is a strictly coordinated process to maintain adequate bone mass. The disorder of bone remodeling causes metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and fracture healing distress. In the process of bone remodeling, it is generally recognized that numerous humoral factors including cytokines and growth factors play pivotal roles (3).

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional cytokines and belong to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily (4). It is well known that BMPs expressed in bone are essential for skeletal development and bone remodeling (5). The effects of BMPs on osteoblasts are exerted through Smad (Smad1/5/8)-dependent signaling and Smad-independent signaling such as the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family (4,6). Moreover, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is currently recognized to play critical roles in effective coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis (7). Among bone cells, the osteoblast lineage is considered as a major source of VEGF (7). In addition, the receptors for VEGF are expressed both on osteoblasts and osteoclasts (7). The production of VEGF by osteoblasts is reportedly modulated by a wide range of stimulations including hormonal, mechanical and environmental influences, suggesting that VEGF synthesis by osteoblasts plays a crucial role for the control of angiogenesis in bone via an autocrine and/or paracrine mechanism (7). We previously demonstrated that BMP-4 stimulates VEGF synthesis through activation of p70 S6 kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells (8,9).

It has been firmly established that polyphenolic compounds in foods such as vegetables and fruits confer beneficial effects on human being. It has been reported that flavonoids, among the polyphenolic compounds, possess antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects (10,11). Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found abundantly in the skins of red grapes and red wine, has recently received increased attention as a means to improve health and prolong life (12,13). In mammalian cells, the effects of resveratrol are recognized to be dependent upon SIRT1, known as a longevity gene, improving the function of cells and organs via activation of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase (14). Regarding the effects of resveratrol on bone, it has been shown that resveratrol promotes osteoblast differentiation (15,16). However, the exact mechanisms underlying the effects of resveratrol on bone metabolism have not yet been clarified.

In the present study, we investigated the effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and the related mechanisms. We demonstrated that resveratrol suppresses BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis via inhibition of p70 S6 kinase in these cells.

Materials and methods

Materials

Resveratrol and SRT1720 were obtained from Calbiochem-Novabiochem Co. (La Jolla, CA, USA). BMP-4 and mouse VEGF enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were obtained from R&D Systems, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Phospho-specific Smad1/5/8 antibodies, phospho-specific p70 S6 kinase antibodies and p70 S6 kinase antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Beverly, MA, USA). Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibodies were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). An ECL Western blotting detection system was obtained from GE Healthcare (Buckinghamshire, UK). TRIzol reagent was purchased from Invitrogen, Co. (Carlsbad, CA, USA). FastStart DNA Master SYBR-Green I was purchased from Roche Diagnostics (Mannheim, Germany). Omniscript Reverse Transcriptase kit was purchased from Qiagen, Inc. (Hilden, Germany). Other materials and chemicals were obtained from commercial sources. Resveratrol and SRT1720 were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. The maximum concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide was 0.1%, which did not affect either the assay for VEGF or western blot analysis.

Cell culture

Cloned osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, which were derived from newborn mouse calvaria (17), were maintained as previously described (18). Briefly, the cells were cultured in α-minimum essential medium (α-MEM) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. The cells were seeded into 35-mm (5×104 cells/dish) or 90-mm (2×105 cells/dish) diameter dishes in α-MEM containing 10% FCS. After 5 days, the medium was replaced with α-MEM containing 0.3% FCS. The cells were used for experiments after 48 h.

Assay for VEGF

The cultured cells were pretreated with various doses of resveratrol, SRT1720 or vehicle for 60 min, and then stimulated with 70 ng/ml of BMP-4 or vehicle in 1 ml of α-MEM containing 0.3% FCS for the indicated periods. The conditioned medium was collected, and VEGF in the medium was then measured by mouse VEGF ELISA kits according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Real-time RT-PCR

The cultured cells were pretreated with 50 μM of resveratrol, 10 μM of SRT1720 or vehicle for 60 min, and then stimulated with 70 ng/ml of BMP-4 or vehicle in α-MEM containing 0.3% FCS for 24 h. Total RNA was isolated and transcribed into complementary DNA using TRIzol reagent and the Omniscript Reverse Transcriptase kit, respectively. Real-time RT-PCR was performed using a LightCycler system in capillaries and FastStart DNA Master SYBR-Green I provided with the kit. Sense and antisense primers for mouse VEGF or GAPDH mRNA were purchased from Takara Bio, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) (primer set ID: MA039013). The amplified products were determined by melting curve analysis and agarose electrophoresis. VEGF mRNA levels were normalized with those of GAPDH mRNA.

Western blot analysis

The cultured cells were stimulated with BMP-4 for the indicated periods. When indicated, the cells were pretreated with resveratrol or SRT1720 for 60 min. The cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline and then lysed, homogenized and sonicated in a lysis buffer containing 62.5 mM Tris/HCl, pH 6.8, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 50 mM dithiothreitol and 10% glycerol. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was performed by the method described by Laemmli (19) on 10% polyacrylamide gels. Western blot analysis was performed as described previously (20) by using phospho-specific Smad1/5/8 antibodies, phospho-specific p70 S6 kinase antibodies, p70 S6 kinase antibodies or GAPDH antibodies, with peroxidase-labeled antibodies raised in goat against rabbit IgG being used as secondary antibodies. The peroxidase activity on the PVDF membrane was visualized on X-ray film by means of the ECL western blotting detection system.

Statistical analysis

The data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Bonferroni method for multiple comparisons between pairs, and values of P<0.05 were considered to indicate statistically significant results. All data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of triplicate determinations from three independent cell preparations.

Results

Effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release in MC3T3-E1 cells

We previously demonstrated that BMP-4 stimulates the synthesis of VEGF in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells (8). We first examined the effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release. Resveratrol, which alone had little effect on VEGF levels, significantly suppressed BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release in MC3T3-E1 cells (Fig. 1). The inhibitory effect of resveratrol on VEGF synthesis was dose-dependent in the range between 10 and 70 μM (Fig. 2). Resveratrol (70 μM) caused an ~70% decrease in the BMP-4-mediated effect.

Effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-induced expression levels of VEGF mRNA in MC3T3-E1 cells

To investigate whether the suppressive effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release is mediated through a transcriptional event, we next examined the effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-induced VEGF mRNA expression. Resveratrol significantly reduced the VEGF mRNA expression levels induced by BMP-4 (Fig. 3).

Effects of SRT1720 on the release of VEGF and the mRNA expression stimulated by BMP-4 in MC3T3-E1 cells

SRT1720 is also known as an activator of SIRT1 as well as resveratrol, and the potencies are estimated to be ~1,000-fold greater than resveratrol (21,22). Next, we investigated the effect of SRT1720 on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis in MC3T3-E1 cells. SRT1720, which alone had little effect on VEGF release, significantly suppressed the BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release (Table I). In addition, SRT1720, which alone did not affect the VEGF mRNA expression levels, significantly reduced the expression levels of VEGF mRNA induced by BMP-4 (Table II).

Effects of resveratrol or SRT1720 on the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 in MC3T3-E1 cells

It has been previously established that the effects of BMPs are exerted through the intracellular signaling of Smad proteins such as Smad1, Smad5 and Smad8 (4). In order to clarify whether the inhibitory effect of resveratrol on the BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis is mediated by the modification of Smad1/5/8 activation in MC3T3-E1 cells, we examined the effect of resveratrol on the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8. Resveratrol, which alone had little effect on the phosphorylation levels of Smad1/5/8, failed to affect the levels induced by BMP-4 at a dose up to 50 μM (Fig. 4A). In addition, SRT1720 did not affect the Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation levels at a dose up to 10 μM (Fig. 4B).

Effects of resveratrol or SRT1720 on the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase in MC3T3-E1 cells

We previously demonstrated that BMP-4 stimulates VEGF synthesis through activation of p70 S6 kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells (8). In order to elucidate whether the suppressive effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis is mediated by the modulation of p70 S6 kinase activation in MC3T3-E1 cells, we examined the effect of resveratrol on the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase. Resveratrol significantly attenuated the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase induced by BMP-4 in a dose-dependent manner between 10 and 50 μM (Fig. 5A). Furthermore, SRT1720, which alone barely affected the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase, also suppressed the p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation in these cells (Fig. 5B).

Discussion

In the present study, we demonstrated that resveratrol, a polyphenolic flavonoid enriched in the skins of red grapes or red wine (12,13), significantly suppressed BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Resveratrol reportedly functions at least in part via activation of SIRT1, which is known as one of the longevity genes (21). We also found that SRT1720 suppressed BMP-4-stimulated VEGF release in these cells. Therefore, the suppressive effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-induced VEGF synthesis in osteoblasts appears to be a SIRT1-dependent event. In addition, we demonstrated that both resveratrol and SRT1720 markedly decreased the BMP-4-induced expression levels of VEGF mRNA. Based on our findings, it is probable that the inhibitory effect of resveratrol on BMP-4-induced VEGF release is mediated through transcriptional events. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate the suppression of VEGF synthesis by resveratrol in osteoblasts.

It is well known that Smad proteins are central mediators of the intracellular signaling system of the TGF-β superfamily such as TGF-β and BMPs (23). Regarding BMP signaling, BMPs employ the activation of Smad1/5/8 as receptor-regulated Smads (23). Thus, we investigated whether Smad1/5/8 are involved in the inhibitory effects of resveratrol or SRT1720 on BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. However, neither resveratrol nor SRT1720 affected the BMP-4-induced phosphorylation levels of Smad1/5/8. Therefore, it seems unlikely that the suppressive effect of resveratrol on VEGF synthesis stimulated by BMP-4 is due to the modulation of Smad1/5/8-mediating signaling. Moreover, accumulating evidence indicates that the TGF-β superfamily exerts their effects on a variety of biological functions via Smad-independent signaling (24). We previously reported that activation of p70 S6 kinase positively regulates BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells (8). Thus, we next investigated whether resveratrol or SRT1720 affects the activation of p70 S6 kinase upregulated by BMP-4 in MC3T3-E1 cells. We found that the phosphorylation levels of p70 S6 kinase induced by BMP-4 were significantly attenuated by both resveratrol and SRT1720. Based on our findings, it is likely that the suppression of BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis by resveratrol through SIRT-1 activation is mediated by the modulation of p70 S6 kinase in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol abundantly found in grape skins and red wine and shows numerous favorable effects on the health of humans through antioxidation, anti-aging and anti-stress (12,13). It has been reported that resveratrol prevents various types of cancers such as colon carcinoma, and attenuates the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, in addition to protection against obesity and its associated diseases (2527). Recent studies have also linked resveratrol to a prolonged lifespan in humans and other species (28,29). It has been shown that BMP signaling is required for both bone development and angiogenesis (30). During bone development and fracture healing, BMPs not only increase bone formation, but also enhance angiogenesis through regulation of the expression of VEGF. Moreover, modifications of VEGF expression were reportedly observed in osteoporosis in vivo (7). Both the reduction in VEGF expression in the tibial metaphysis and the contrasting increases in VEGF expression related to vascularization in the periosteum have been recognized in osteoporotic rat models (7), suggesting the complicated mechanism of the pathogenesis. Thus, our present findings, clearly demonstrating the reduction of BMP-4-induced VEGF synthesis by resveratrol in osteoblasts-like MC3T3-E1 cells, provides novel insight underlying the favorable effects of polyphenols on the health of humans particularly on elder individuals. Further investigation is necessary to clarify the detailed mechanisms of resveratrol underlying the VEGF synthesis in osteoblasts.

In conclusion, our findings strongly suggest that resveratrol attenuates BMP-4-stimulated VEGF synthesis through suppression of the activation of p70 S6 kinase in osteoblasts, and that the inhibitory effect is at least in part mediated by SIRT1 activation.
