Abstrakt: Some oxysterols were shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Little is known about the effects of 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) in this process. We describe its impact on human adipose tissue-derived MSC (ATMSC) osteogenic differentiation. ATMSCs were incubated with 7-KC in osteogenic or adipogenic media. Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was evaluated by Alizarin red and Oil Red O staining, respectively. Osteogenic (ALPL, RUNX2, BGLAP) and adipogenic markers (PPARƔ, C/EBPα) were determined by RT-PCR. Differentiation signaling pathways (SHh, Smo, Gli-3, β-catenin) were determined by indirect immunofluorescence. ATMSCs treated with 7-KC in osteogenic media stained positively for Alizarin Red. 7-KC in adipogenic media decreased the number of adipocytes. 7-KC increased ALPL and RUNX2 but not BGLAP expressions. 7-KC decreased expression of PPARƔ and C/EBPα, did not change SHh, Smo, and Gli-3 expression, and increased the expression of β-catenin. In conclusion, 7-KC favors osteogenic differentiation of ATMSCs through the expression of early osteogenic genes (matrix maturation phase) by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, while inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. This knowledge can be potentially useful in regenerative medicine, in treatments for bone diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
