Abstract (original English)
Biomechanical signals in the extracellular niche are considered promising for programming the lineage specification of stem cells. Recent studies have reported that biomechanics, such as the microstructure of nanomaterials, can induce adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) to differentiate into osteoblasts, mediating gene regulation at the epigenetic level. Therefore, in this study, transcriptome expression levels of histone demethylases in ASCs were screened after treatment with different matrix stiffnesses, and histone lysine demethylase 3B (KDM3B) was found to promote osteogenic differentiation of ASCs in response to matrix stiffness, indicating a positive modulatory effect on this biological process. ASCs exhibited widespread and polygonal shapes with a distinct bundle-like expression of vinculin parallel to the axial cytoskeleton along the cell margins on the stiff matrix rather than round shapes with a smeared and shorter expression on the soft matrix. Comparatively rigid polydimethylsiloxane material directed ASCs into an osteogenic phenotype in inductive culture media via the upregulation of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and runt-related transcription factor 2. Treatment with KDM3B-siRNA decreased the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers and impaired mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial membrane potential. These results illustrate the critical role of KD
