Abstract

Bone fracture healing is a complex process in which specific molecular knowledge is still lacking. The citrulline-arginine-nitric oxide metabolism is one of the involved pathways, and its enrichment via citrulline supplementation can enhance fracture healing. This study investigated the molecular effects of citrulline supplementation during the different fracture healing phases in a rat model. Microcomputed tomography (μCT) was applied for the analysis of the fracture callus formation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) and liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were used for lipid and protein analyses, respectively. μCT analysis showed no significant differences in the fracture callus volume and volume fraction between the citrulline supplementation and control group. The observed lipid profiles for the citrulline supplementation and control group were distinct for the different fracture healing stages. The main contributing lipid classes were phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs). The changing effect of citrulline supplementation throughout fracture healing was indicated by changes in the differentially expressed proteins between the groups. Pathway analysis showed an enhancement of fracture healing in the citrulline supplementation group in comparison to the control group via improved angiogenesis and earlier formation of the soft and hard callus. This study showed the molecular effects on lipids, proteins, and pathways associated with citrulline supplementation during bone fracture healing, even though no effect was visible with μCT.

摘要

骨骨折愈合是一个复杂的过程,其中特定的分子知识仍然缺乏。瓜氨酸-精氨酸-一氧化氮代谢是涉及的途径之一,通过瓜氨酸补充使其丰富可以增强骨折愈合。本研究在大鼠模型中研究了瓜氨酸补充在不同骨折愈合阶段的分子效应。应用微计算机断层扫描(μCT)分析骨折痂形成。基质辅助激光解吸/电离质谱成像(MALDI-MSI)和液相色谱串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)分别用于脂质和蛋白质分析。μCT 分析表明,瓜氨酸补充组和对照组的骨折痂体积和体积分数没有显著差异。观察到的瓜氨酸补充组和对照组的脂质谱在不同的骨折愈合阶段明显不同。主要的脂质类为磷脂酰胆碱(PCs)和溶血磷脂酰胆碱(LPCs)。通过组间差异表达蛋白的变化,表明瓜氨酸补充在整个骨折愈合过程中的变化效应。通路分析表明,与对照组相比,瓜氨酸补充组通过改善血管生成和更早形成软、硬痂,增强了骨折愈合。本研究显示了与骨骨折愈合过程中瓜氨酸补充相关的脂质、蛋白质和通路的分子效应,尽管 μCT 没有显示出效果。
