Overexpression of fucosyltransferase 8 reverses the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenic response of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts

Background Core fucosylation catalyzed by FUT8 is essential for TGF-β binding to TGF-β receptors. Methods Indirect TGF-β1 binding assay was used to evaluate the ability of TGF-β1 to bind to TGFBRs, Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to detect osteogenic differentiation and mine...

description Background Core fucosylation catalyzed by FUT8 is essential for TGF-β binding to TGF-β receptors. Methods Indirect TGF-β1 binding assay was used to evaluate the ability of TGF-β1 to bind to TGFBRs, Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to detect osteogenic differentiation and mineralization ability , western blot and quantitative RT-PCR were used to measure the differential expression of osteogenesis-related proteins and genes. Plasmid-mediated gain-of-function study. The scale of core fucosylation modification was detected by Lectin-blot and LCA laser confocal. Results Our results showed that compared with vehicle treatment, high-dose (10−6 and 10−5 M) dexamethasone significantly inhibited cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and FUT8 mRNA expression while promoting mRNA expression of adipogenesis-related genes in MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting that downregulation of FUT8 is involved in the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenesis. Overexpression of FUT8 significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation and activated TGF-β/Smad signaling in MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence of high-dose dexamethasone, suggesting that FUT8 reverses the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenesis. In addition, lectin fluorescent staining and blotting showed that overexpression of FUT8 significantly reversed the inhibitory effects of high-dose dexamethasone on core fucosylation of TGFBR1 and TGFBR2. Furthermore, indirect TGF-β1 binding assay showed that overexpression of FUT8 remarkably promoted TGF-β1 binding to TGFBRs in MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence of high-dose dexamethasone. Conclusions Taken together, these results suggest that overexpression of FUT8 facilitates counteracting the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on TGF-β signaling and osteogenesis.
