Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A, B ) The human ( A ) and mouse ( B ) Osteolectin proteins contain RGD and LDT sequences. ( C ) Alignment of Osteolectin amino acid sequences shows that the RGD and LDT domains are evolutionarily conserved among bony vertebrates. ( D, E ) RNA-seq analysis of integrin α ( D ) and β ( E ) subunits in PDGFRα + CD45 - Ter119 - CD31 - bone marrow stromal cells from enzymatically dissociated adult bone marrow (n = 2 independent samples). These cells are uniformly positive for LepR expression . ( F ) RNA-seq analysis of Itga1 , Itga6 , Itga11 , and Itgav in PDGFRα + CD45 - Ter119 - CD31 - bone marrow stromal cells, VE-Cadherin + bone marrow endothelial cells, and whole bone marrow cells (n = 2 independent samples per cell population). ( G ) Itga11 expression in cell populations from mouse bone marrow by qRT-PCR (n = 3 independent samples per cell population). The markers used for the isolation of each cell population are shown in . ( H ) In MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells expressing Flag-tagged Osteolectin, anti-Flag antibody co-immunoprecipitated endogenous integrin β1 and integrin α11 with Flag-tagged Osteolectin (results are representative of two independent experiments). ( I ) Recombinant human Osteolectin (rhOln) selectively bound to recombinant human integrin α 11 β 1 and α 10 β 1 , but not to other integrins (n = 3 independent experiments). ( J ) Integrin α11β1 bound Osteolectin and recombinant human Pro-Collagen 1α (rhCol1A) with similar affinities, but not bovine serum albumin (BSA) (n = 3 independent experiments). ( K ) Osteolectin, but not Pro-Collagen 1α, promoted osteogenic differentiation by MC3T3-E1 cells and human bone marrow stromal cells (n = 3 independent experiments). ( L ) 200 nM RGDS peptide inhibited the binding of integrin α11β1 to recombinant human Osteolectin. ( M ) 100 μM RGDS peptide inhibited osteogenic differentiation by MC3T3-E1 cells and human bone marrow stromal cells in response to 30 ng/ml of recombinant human Osteolectin. All numerical data reflect mean ±standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined with one-way ( G ) or two-way ANOVAs with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons tests ( K ) or Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests ( M ). 10.7554/eLife.42274.004 Figure 1—source data 1.
