    Abstract We previously identified transient brown adipocyte-like cells associated with heterotopic ossification (HO). These ancillary cells support new vessel synthesis essential to bone formation. Recent studies have shown that the M2 macrophage contributes to tissue regeneration in a similar way. To further define the phenotype of these brown adipocyte-like cells they were isolated and characterized by single-cell RNAseq (scRNAseq). Analysis of the transcriptome and the presence of surface markers specific for macrophages suggest that these cells are M2 macrophages. To validate these findings, clodronate liposomes were delivered to the tissues during HO, and the results showed both a significant reduction in these macrophages as well as bone formation. These cells were isolated and shown in culture to polarize towards either M1 or M2 similar to other macrophages. To confirm that these are M2 macrophages, mice received lipopolysacheride (LPS), which induces proinflammation and M1 macrophages. The results showed a significant decrease in this specific population and bone formation, suggesting an essential role for M2 macrophages in the production of bone. To determine if these macrophages are specific to HO, we isolated these cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from a bone defect model and subjected them to scRNAseq. Surprisingly, the macrophage populations overlapped between the two groups (HO-derived

    Abstract Background: Traf2 and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK) is known for its regulatory role in various processes within cancer cells. However, its role within endothelial cells (ECs) has remained relatively unexplored.
    Methods: Leveraging RNA-seq data and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), we probed the potential impact of TNIK depletion on ECs.
    Results: Examination of RNA-seq data uncovered more than 450 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) in TNIK-depleted ECs, displaying a fold change exceeding 2 with a false discovery rate (FDR) below 0.05. IPA analysis unveiled that TNIK depletion leads to the inhibition of the interferon (IFN) pathway [-log (
    Summary: Our findings suggest that TNIK plays a crucial role in regulating the EC response to virus infections through modulation of the IFN pathway.

    Abstract The use of an adenoviral vector to transduce cells allows for certain secreted proteins or growth factors to be generated in vivo in eukaryotic cells with accurate posttranslational processing. The use of transduced cells eliminates viral toxicity, allows for targeted expression of the secreted factor at a specific site, and ensures that the therapy will be turned off when the cells are cleared by the organism. Here we describe the delivery system which utilizes cells transduced with a non-replicating adenovirus containing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) in the E1 region of the cassette. With this method of delivery, small amounts of the protein can incite de novo bone formation.

    Abstract Heterotopic ossification (HO), or de novo bone formation in soft tissue, is often observed following traumatic injury. Recent studies suggest that peripheral nerves may play a key functional role in this process. The results supporting a neurological basis for HO are examined in this article. Evidence supports the fact that BMPs released from bone matrix possess the capacity to induce HO. However, the process cannot be recapitulated using recombinant proteins without extremely high doses suggesting other components are required for this process. Study of injuries that increase risk for HO, i.e. amputation, hip replacement, elbow fracture, burn, and CNS injury suggests that a likely candidate is traumatic injury of adjacent peripheral nerves. Recent studies suggest neuroinflammation may play a key functional role, by its ability to open the blood-nerve barrier (BNB). Barrier opening is characterized by a change in permeability and is experimentally assessed by the ability of Evans blue dye to enter the endoneurium of peripheral nerves. A combination of BMP and barrier opening is required to activate bone progenitors in the endoneurial compartment. This process is referred to as "neurogenic HO".

    Abstract The formation of neuromas involves expansion of the cellular components of peripheral nerves. The onset of these disorganized tumors involves activation of sensory nerves and neuroinflammation. Particularly problematic in neuroma is arborization of axons leading to extreme, neuropathic pain. The most common sites for neuroma are the ends of transected nerves following injury; however, this rodent model does not reliably result in neuroma formation. In this study, we established a rodent model of neuroma in which the sciatic nerve was loosely ligated with two chromic gut sutures. This model formed neuromas reliably (∼95%), presumably through activation of the neural inflammatory cascade. Resulting neuromas had a disorganized structure and a significant number of replicating cells. Quantification of changes in perineurial and Schwann cells showed a significant increase in these populations. Immunohistochemical analysis showed the presence of β-tubulin 3 in the rapidly expanding nerve and a decrease in neurofilament heavy chain compared to the normal nerve, suggesting the axons forming a disorganized structure. Measurement of the permeability of the blood-nerve barrier shows that it opened almost immediately and remained open as long as 10 days. Studies using an antagonist of the β3-adrenergic receptor (L-748,337) or cromolyn showed a significant reduction in tumor size and cell expansion as determined by flow cytometry, with an improvement in the animal's gait detected using a Catwalk system. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that heterotopic ossification is also a result of the activation of neuroinflammation. Since heterotopic ossification and neuroma often occur together in amputees, they were induced in the same limbs of the study animals. More heterotopic bone was formed in animals with neuromas as compared to those without. These data collectively suggest that perturbation of early neuroinflammation with compounds such as L-748,337 and cromolyn may reduce formation of neuromas.

    Abstract Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the de novo formation of bone that occurs in soft tissue, through recruitment, expansion, and differentiation of multiple cells types including transient brown adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, mast cells, and platelets to name a few. Much evidence is accumulating that suggests changes in metabolism may be required to accomplish this bone formation. Recent work using a mouse model of heterotopic bone formation reliant on delivery of adenovirus-transduced cells expressing low levels of BMP2 showed the immediate expansion of a unique brown adipocyte-like cell. These cells are undergoing robust uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation to a level such that oxygen in the microenvironment is dramatically lowered creating areas of hypoxia. It is unclear how these oxygen changes ultimately affect metabolism and bone formation. To identify the processes and changes occurring over the course of bone formation, HO was established in the mice, and tissues isolated at early and late times were subjected to a global metabolomic screen. Results show that there are significant changes in both glucose levels, as well as TCA cycle intermediates. Additionally, metabolites necessary for oxidation of stored lipids were also found to be significantly elevated. The complete results of this screen are presented here, and provide a unique picture of the metabolic changes occurring during heterotopic bone formation.

    Abstract Heterotopic ossification (HO), the abnormal formation of bone within soft tissues, is a major complication after severe trauma or amputation. Transient brown adipocytes have been shown to be a critical regulator of this process in a mouse model of HO. In this study, we evaluated the presence of brown fat within human HO lesions. Most of the excised tissue samples displayed histological characteristics of bone, fibroproliferative cells, blood vessels, and adipose tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed extensive expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a definitive marker of brown adipocytes, within HO-containing tissues but not normal tissues. As seen in the brown adipocytes observed during HO in the mouse, these UCP1
