Article Title: CGRP Enhances the Regeneration of Bone Defects by Regulating Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Promoting ANGPTL4 Secretion by Bone Blood Vessels
doi: 10.1002/advs.202522295
Figure Lengend Snippet: ANGPTL4 secreted by bone vessels restores bone formation by coupling with osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. (A) RT‐qPCR analysis of Fabp4, Pparg, LPL, Id4, Adipoq, and perilipin expression levels in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) treated with different concentrations of recombinant Angptl4 protein. (B) Western blotting to determine Fabp4, Pparg, Lpl, Plin, Adipoq, Id4, and GAPDH expression levels in BMSCs treated with 50 ng/mL recombinant Angptl4 protein. n = 3 mice in each group. (C and D) Representative images of alizarin red S staining and quantification of calcification of BMSCs treated with recombinant Angptl4 protein. (E and F) Representative images of Alpl staining and quantification of Alpl activity in BMSCs treated with recombinant Angptl4 protein. (G and H) Representative images of oil red O staining and quantification of lipid formation by BMSCs treated with recombinant Angptl4 protein. (I–M) Representative micro‐CT images and quantitative micro‐CT analysis of the trabecular bone microarchitecture of WT mice injected with recombinant Angptl4 protein after bone defect introduction. (N) Representative images of hematoxylin–eosin staining in the bone regeneration area of the PBS and Angptl4 treatment groups. (O) Schematic diagram of the effects of CGRP. Scale bar, 1 mm. The data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01; and *** p < 0.001 by Student's t ‐test. BV/TV, trabecular bone volume per tissue volume; Tb. N, trabecular number; Tb. Sp, trabecular separation; Tb. Th, trabecular thickness.
