PDGFR in PDGF-BB/PDGFR Signaling Pathway Does Orchestrates Osteogenesis in a Temporal Manner
RESEARCH(2023)
Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)/platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFR-beta) pathway is conventionally considered as an important pathway to promote osteogenesis; however, recent study suggested its role during osteogenesis to be controversial. Regarding the differential functions of this pathway during 3 stages of bone healing, we hypothesized that temporal inhibition of PDGF-BB/ PDGFR-beta pathway could shift the proliferation/differentiation balance of skeletal stem and progenitor cells, toward osteogenic lineage, which leads to improved bone regeneration. We first validated that inhibition of PDGFR-beta at late stage of osteogenic induction effectively enhanced differentiation toward osteoblasts. This effect was also replicated in vivo by showing accelerated bone formation when block PDGFR-beta pathway at late stage of critical bone defect healing mediated using biomaterials. Further, we found that such PDGFR-beta inhibitor-initiated bone healing was also effective in the absence of scaffold implantation when administrated intraperitoneally. Mechanistically, timely inhibition of PDGFR-beta blocked extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 pathway, which shift proliferation/differentiation balance of skeletal stem and progenitor cell to osteogenic lineage by upregulating osteogenesis-related products of Smad to induce osteogenesis. This study offered updated understanding of the use of PDGFR-beta pathway and provides new insight routes of action and novel therapeutic methods in the field of bone repair.
