Loading-driven PI3K/Akt signaling and erythropoiesis enhanced angiogenesis and osteogenesis in a postmenopausal osteoporosis mouse model
Bone vasculature influences osteogenesis and haematopoiesis in the bone microenviroment. Mechanical loading has been shown to stimulate the formation of osteogenesis-related type H vessels in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis mouse model. To determine the loading-driven mechanism of angiogenesis and the formation of type H vessels in bone, we evaluated the roles of PI3K/Akt signaling and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow . The daily application of mechanical loading (1 N at 5 Hz for 6 min/day) for 2 weeks on OVX mice inhibited osteoclast activity , associated with an increase in the number of osteoblasts and trabecular volume ratio. Mechanical loading enhanced bone vasculature and vessel formation, as well as PI3K/Akt phosphorylation and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. Notably, LY294002 , an inhibitor of PI3K signaling, blocked the tube formation by endothelial progenitor cells , as well as their migration and wound healing. The conditioned medium, derived from erythroblasts , also promoted the function of HUVECs with elevated levels of VEGF, CD31 , and Emcn. Collectively, this study demonstrates that mechanical loading prevents osteoporotic bone loss by promoting angiogenesis and type H vessel formation. This load-driven preventing effect is in part mediated by PI3K/Akt signaling and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow.
