Inhibition of osteoblastic Smurf1 promotes bone formation in mouse models of distinctive age-related osteoporosis
NATURE COMMUNICATIONS(2018)
摘要
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is essential for osteogenesis. However, recombinant human BMPs (rhBMPs) exhibit large inter-individual variations in local bone formation during clinical spinal fusion. Smurf1 ubiquitinates BMP downstream molecules for degradation. Here, we classify age-related osteoporosis based on distinct intraosseous BMP-2 levels and Smurf1 activity. One major subgroup with a normal BMP-2 level and elevated Smurf1 activity (BMP-2 n /Smurf1 e ) shows poor response to rhBMP-2 during spinal fusion, when compared to another major subgroup with a decreased BMP-2 level and normal Smurf1 activity (BMP-2 d /Smurf1 n ). We screen a chalcone derivative, i.e., 2-(4-cinnamoylphenoxy)acetic acid, which effectively inhibits Smurf1 activity and increases BMP signaling. For BMP-2 n /Smurf1 e mice, the chalcone derivative enhances local bone formation during spinal fusion. After conjugating to an osteoblast-targeting and penetrating oligopeptide (DSS) 6 , the chalcone derivative promotes systemic bone formation in BMP-2 n /Smurf1 e mice. This study demonstrates a precision medicine-based bone anabolic strategy for age-related osteoporosis.
