Fig. 5: KIAA1199 KO increases osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal stem cells, enhances the osteogenic differentiation but inhibits the osteoclast differentiation.

A The changes of cell number of bone marrow stromal stem cells (mBMSC) from WT and KIAA1199 KO female mice were determined on day (D) 0 and 9, n = 4. B, C Colony-forming unit fibroblasts (CFU-Fs) were counted (B), CFU-ALP + colonies on day 7 were presented as a percent of CFU-Fs, n = 6. D, E Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and ALP staining on day 10 and alizarin red (AZR) staining on day 18 during osteoblast (OB) differentiation of mBMSC (D); Real-time PCR analysis of OB gene markers: Alp, alkaline phosphatase, Bglap osteocalcin, Col1a, collagen type 1, Opn, osteopontin, Runx2, Runt-related transcription factor 2, Opg, osteoprotegerin, Rankl, Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (E), n ≥ 3. F, G Dynamic bone histomorphometry were measured in proximal tibia. Mineralized surface per bone surface (MS/BS, %), mineral apposition rate (MAR, µm/d), bone-formation rate per bone surface (BFR/BS, µm3/µm2/year) were compared between KO and WT male mice, n values are as labeled. H, I Osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow cells from female KIAA1199 KO and WT mice. The formation of multinucleated OC was verified by positive staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) on day 5 (H). The expressions of OC maker genes were analyzed by real time PCR: Rank, tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11 A, Trap, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5, Ctsk, cathepsin K, Crl, calcitonin receptor (I), n ≥ 3. J Number of osteoclasts per bone surface (NOc/BS, /mm) by bone histomorphometry on mice tibias, n values are as labeled. K–M Plasma levels of procollagen type 1 N-terminal pro-peptide (P1NP) (K), C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX1) (L) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAcP 5b) (M) in KIAA1199 KO and WT mice were measured by ELISA, n values are as labeled. Scale bar (F, H) = 100 µm, date is presented as mean ± SD, statistical difference between WT and KO was determined by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01.
