ABSTRACT
The osteogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) plays a critical role in fracture healing. Osteogenic differentiation is regulated by a variety of post-translational modifications, but the function of protein palmitoylation in osteogenesis remains largely unknown.Osteogenic differentiation induction of hBMSCs was used in this study. RT‒qPCR and immunoblotting assays (WB) were used to test marker genes of osteogenic induction. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining and Alizarin red staining were performed to evaluate osteogenesis of hBMSCs. Signal finder pathway reporter array, co-immunoprecipitation and WB were applied to elucidate the molecular mechanism. A mouse fracture model was used to verify the in vivo function of the ZDHHC inhibitor.We revealed that palmitic acid inhibited Runx2 mRNA expression in hBMSCs and identified ZDHHC16 as a potential target palmitoyl acyltransferase. In addition, ZDHHC16 decreased during osteogenic induction. Next, we confirmed the inhibitory function of ZDHHC16 by its knockdown or overexpression during osteogenesis of hBMSCs. Moreover, we illustrated that ZDHHC16 inhibited the phosphorylation of CREB, thus inhibiting osteogenesis of hBMSCs by enhancing the palmitoylation of CREB. With a mouse femur fracture model, we found that 2-BP, a general inhibitor of ZDHHCs, promoted fracture healing in vivo. Thus, we clarified the inhibitory function of ZDHHC16 during osteogenic differentiation.Collectively, these findings highlight the inhibitory function of ZDHHC16 in osteogenesis as a potential therapy method for fracture healing.
