    Abstract:
    With the aging of the global demographic, the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis are becoming crucial issues. The gradual loss of self-renewal and osteogenic differentiation capabilities in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) is one of the key factors contributing to osteoporosis. To explore the regulatory mechanisms of BMSCs differentiation, we collected bone marrow cells of femoral heads from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed significantly reduced CRIP1 (Cysteine-Rich Intestinal Protein 1) expression and osteogenic capacity in the BMSCs of osteoporosis patients compared to non-osteoporosis group. CRIP1 is a gene that encodes a member of the LIM/double zinc finger protein family, which is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes including cell growth, development, and differentiation. CRIP1 knockdown resulted in decreased alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization and expression of osteogenic markers, indicating impaired osteogenic differentiation. Conversely, CRIP1 overexpression, both in vitro and in vivo, enhanced osteogenic differentiation and rescued bone mass reduction in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mice model. The study further established CRIP1's modulation of osteogenesis through the Wnt signaling pathway, suggesting that targeting CRIP1 could offer a novel approach for osteoporosis treatment by promoting bone formation and preventing bone loss.
