Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating disease characterized by destructive bone structures, enlarged adipocyte accumulation and impaired vascularization. The aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH 2) is the limiting enzyme for ethanol metabolism with many physiological functions. The aim was investigated the potential protective role of activated ALDH 2 by Alda-1 for ethanol-induced ONFH.
The ethanol-induced ONFH in rat was performed to explore the protective of Alda-1 by various experimental methods. Subsequently, the effect of Alda-1 and ethanol on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was investigated via multiple cellular and molecular methods. Finally, the effect of Alda-1 and ethanol on the neo-vascularization was detected in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and ONFH model.
Firstly, radiographical and pathological measurements indicated that alda-1 protected ethanol-induced ONFH. Moreover, ethanol significantly inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, whereas Alda-1 could distinctly rescue it by PI3K/AKT signalling. Secondly, ethanol remarkably promoted the lipid vacuoles formation of BMSCs, while Alda-1 significantly retarded it on BMSCs by AMPK signalling pathway. Finally, ethanol significantly inhibited proliferation and growth factor level resulting in reduced angiogenesis, whereas Alda-1 could rescue the effect of ethanol. Additionally, Alda-1 significantly reduced the occurrence of ONFH and promoted vessel number and distribution in alcoholic ONFH.
Alda-1 activation of ALDH 2 was highly demonstrated to protect ethanol-induced ONFH by triggering new bone formation, reducing adipogenesis and stimulating vascularization.
股骨头坏死(ONFH)是一种破坏性疾病,其特征为骨结构破坏、脂肪细胞堆积增大以及血管生成受损。醛脱氢酶 2(ALDH 2)是乙醇代谢的限速酶,具有多种生理功能。本研究旨在探讨激活型 ALDH 2 对乙醇诱导的 ONFH 的潜在保护作用。
通过各种实验方法研究乙醇诱导的大鼠 ONFH,以探讨 Alda-1 的保护作用。随后,通过多种细胞和分子方法研究 Alda-1 和乙醇对成骨和成脂分化的影响。最后,在人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)和 ONFH 模型中检测 Alda-1 和乙醇对新生血管形成的影响。
首先,影像学和病理学测量表明 Alda-1 可保护乙醇诱导的 ONFH。此外,乙醇显著抑制 BMSCs 的增殖和成骨分化,而 Alda-1 通过 PI3K/AKT 信号通路可显著挽救这一作用。其次,乙醇显著促进 BMSCs 中脂质空泡的形成,而 Alda-1 通过 AMPK 信号通路显著抑制这一作用。最后,乙醇显著抑制增殖和生长因子水平,导致血管生成减少,而 Alda-1 可挽救乙醇的作用。此外,Alda-1 可显著减少酒精性 ONFH 的发生,并促进血管数量和分布。
ALDH 2 激活 Alda-1 可通过触发新骨形成、减少脂肪生成和刺激血管生成,高度显示对乙醇诱导的 ONFH 具有保护作用。
