Abstract
BackgroundBone fracture healing is a postnatal regenerative process in which fibrocartilaginous callus formation and bony callus formation are important. Bony callus formation requires osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs.Materials and methodsThe formation of callus was assessed by μCT, Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining. Osteogenesis of MSCs was analyzed by ALP staining, ARS staining, qRT-PCR and WB. And we also used IF and TOP/FOP Flash luciferase reporter to assess the nuclear translocation of PP65.ResultsIn this study, we found Bcl-3 showed a significant correlation with bone fracture healing. Results of μCT showed that loss of Bcl-3 delays bone fracture healing. Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining confirmed that loss of Bcl-3 impacted the formation of cartilage and woven bone in callus. Further experiments in vitro manifested that Bcl-3-knockdown could inhibit MSCs osteoblastic differentiation through releasing the inhibition on NF-κB signaling by Co-IP, IF staining and luciferase reporter assay.ConclusionsWe unveiled that loss of Bcl-3 could lead to inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MSCs via promoting PP65 nuclear translocation.The translational potential of this articleOur data demonstrated that overexpression of Bcl-3 accelerates bone fracture healing, which serves as a promising therapeutic target for bone fracture treatment.
