Overview

Senile osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. This disease is often accompanied by increasing adipocytes in bone marrow tissues [1]. The ectopic adipocytes differentiation following bone loss seems to be caused by unbalanced differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) [2]. Although several differentiation regulators of MSCs have already been reported, little is known about the regulatory dynamics of bi-directional adipocytes/osteoblasts differentiation. To uncover the complex mechanism of osteoporosis and metabolic disease, we performed a variety of genome-wide analyses about gene expression and regulation that could influence adipocytes/osteoblasts differentiation from mouse ST2 cells (bone marrow-derived stromal cell line) [3,4]. In particular, we focused on the differentiation-specific non-cording RNAs and antisense transcripts as the novel regulator candidates of adipocytes/osteoblasts differentiation. References: 1.

Sample description

Cell line: ST2 cells were obtained from RIKEN BioResource Center (BRC, Tsukuba, Japan). These cell line is bone marrow-derived stromal cell line. ST2 differentiated most efficiently into both osteoblasts and adipocytes [3]. Cell culture: ST2 cells were cultured according to the protocols supplied by BRC (RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum) [4]. Differentiation induction: Adipocyte differentation: Adipogenic differentiation was induced by changing the medium to differentiation medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methlxanthine, 0.25 mM dexamethasone, and insulin-transferrin-selenium-X supplement containing 5 mg/ml of insulin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and 1 mM rosiglitazone. After 48 hr, the differentiation medium was replaced with conditional culture medium supplemented with 10% FBS [3]. Pre-conditioned medium which was originally same as culure medium, was carried by parallel culturing of ST2, to avoid the perturbation by "medium-change" shock as soon as possible. Figure 1. Histological staining of ST2 cells using Nile Red staining during adipocyte differentiation. The number of Nile Red stained lipid droplets increased in ST2 cell (4 days after adipocyte induction). Bar: 100 μm. Osteoblast differentiation: Osteogenic differentiation was induced by changing the medium every three days to culture medium supplemented with 100 ng/ml of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4, R&D Systems, Mineapolis, MN) [3]. Pre-conditioned medium which was originally same as culure medium, was carried by parallel culturing of ST2, to avoid the perturbation by "medium-change" shock as soon as possible. Figure 2. ALP staining of ST2 cells for 0, 6 and 20 days after osteoblast induction. The ALP activity of ST2 cells (right, 20 days) were more prominently increased in the presence of BMP4 than 0 day (left). Sampling: ST2 cells are sampled during adipocyte or osteoblast differentiation (15min, 30min, 1-3hr, 6,12,18,24,36,48hr, 3-6day) and non-treatment control (2 points; 0,6day). Figure 3.
