Background/Aims: We have demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) is one of the most potent BMPs in regulating osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) although the molecular mechanism underlying BMP9-induced osteogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. It is known that epigenetic regulations play an important role in regulating the stem cell potency and lineage commitment. Here, we investigate if the inhibition of histone deacetylases (Hdacs) affects BMP9-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Methods: Using the Hdac inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA), we assess that TSA enhances BMP9-mediated osteogenic markers and matrix mineralization in MSCs, and bone formation in mouse embryonic limb explants. Results: We find that the endogenous expression of most of the 11 Hdacs is readily detectable in MSCs. BMP9 is shown to induce most Hdacs in MSCs. We demonstrate that TSA potentiates BMP9-induced early osteogenic marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in MSCs, as well as late osteogenic markers osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) and matrix mineralization. Fetal limb explant culture studies reveal that TSA potentiates BMP9-induced endochondral bone formation, possibly by expanding hypertrophic chondrocyte zone of growth plate. Conclusion: Our findings strongly suggest histone deacetylases may play an important role in fine-tuning BMP9-mediated osteogenic signaling through a negative feedback network in MSCs. Thus, Hdac inhibitors may be used as novel therapeutics for bone fracture healing.
