Abstrakt: To explore the potential mechanisms which O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) regulates osteogenesis, a publicly RNA-seq dataset was re-analyzed with literature-mining and showed the primary targets of O-GlcNAcylation in osteoblasts are mitochondria/cytoskeleton. Although the O-GlcNAcylation-regulated mitochondria/cytoskeleton has been extensively studied, its specific role during osteogenesis remains unclear. To address this, we knocked out Ogt (Ogt-KO) in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Then, significantly reduced osteoblast differentiation, motility, proliferation, mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (Mito-ER) coupling, volume of ER, nuclear tubulins, and oxygen metabolism were observed in Ogt-KO cells. Through artificial intelligence (AI)-predicted cellular structures, the time-lapse live cells imaging with reactive-oxygen-species/hypoxia staining showed that lower cell proliferation and altered oxygen metabolism in the Ogt-KO cells were correlated with the Mito-ER coupling. Bioinformatics analysis, combined with correlated mRNA and protein expression, suggested that Ezh2 and its downstream targets (Opa1, Gsk3a, Wnt3a, Hif1a, and Hspa9) may be involved in O-GlcNAcylation-regulated Mito-ER coupling, ultimately impacting osteoblast differentiation. In conclusion, our findings indicate that O-GlcNAcylation-regulated osteoblast differentiation is linked to morphological changes in mitochondria, cytoskeleton, and ER, with Ezh2 potentially playing a crucial role.
