Abstract
Computational models of mature bone have been used to predict fracture; however, analogous study of immature diaphyseal fracture has not been conducted due to sparse experimental mechanical data. A model of immature bone fracture may be used to aid in the differentiation of accidental and non-accidental trauma fractures in young, newly ambulatory children (0-3 years). The objective of this study was to characterize the evolution of tissue-level mechanical behavior, composition, and microstructure of maturing cortical porcine bone with uniaxial tension, Raman spectroscopy, and light microscopy as a function of maturation. We asked: 1) How do the monotonic uniaxial tensile properties change with maturation and displacement rate; 2) How does the composition and microstructure change with maturation; and 3) Is there a correlation between composition and tensile properties with maturation? Elastic modulus (p < 0.001), fracture stress (p < 0.001), and energy absorption (p < 0.014) increased as a function of maturation at the quasistatic rate by 110%, 86%, and 96%, respectively. Fracture stress also increased by 90% with maturation at the faster rate (p = 0.001). Fracture stress increased as a function of increasing displacement rate by 28% (newborn p = 0.048; 1-month p = 0.004; 3-month p= < 0.001), and fracture strain decreased by 68% with increasing displacement rate (newborn p = 0.002; 1-month p = 0.036; 3-month p < 0.001). Carbonate-to-phosphate ratio was positively linearly related to elastic modulus, and fracture stress was positively related to carbonate-to-phosphate ratio and matrix maturation ratio. The results of this study support that immature bone is strain-rate dependent and becomes more brittle at faster rates, contributing to the foundation upon which a computational model can be built to evaluate immature bone fracture.

Effect of gamma irradiation and supercritical carbon dioxide sterilization with Novakill™ or ethanol on the fracture toughness of cortical bone. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35356. [PMID: 38247241 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Sterilization of structural bone allografts is a critical process prior to their clinical use in large cortical bone defects. Gamma irradiation protocols are known to affect tissue integrity in a dose dependent manner. Alternative sterilization treatments, such as supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2 ), are gaining popularity due to advantages such as minimal exposure to denaturants, the lack of toxic residues, superior tissue penetration, and minor impacts on mechanical properties including strength and stiffness. The impact of SCCO2 on the fracture toughness of bone tissue, however, remains unknown. Here, we evaluate crack initiation and growth toughness after 2, 6, and 24 h SCCO2 -treatment using Novakill™ and ethanol as additives on ~11 samples per group obtained from a pair of femur diaphyses of a canine. All mechanical testing was performed at ambient air after 24 h soaking in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS). Results show no statistically significant difference in the failure characteristics of the Novakill™-treated groups whereas crack growth toughness after 6 and 24 h of treatment with ethanol significantly increases by 37% (p = .010) and 34% (p = .038), respectively, compared to an untreated control group. In contrast, standard 25 kGy gamma irradiation causes significantly reduced crack growth resistance by 40% (p = .007) compared to untreated bone. FTIR vibrational spectroscopy, conducted after testing, reveals a consistent trend of statistically significant differences (p < .001) with fracture toughness. These trends align with variations in the ratios of enzymatic mature to immature crosslinks in the collagen structure, suggesting a potential association with fracture toughness. Additional Raman spectroscopy after testing shows a similar trend with statistically significant differences (p < .005), which further supports that collagen structural changes occur in the SCF-treated groups with ethanol after 6 and 24 h. Our work reveals the benefits of SCCO2 sterilization compared to gamma irradiation.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 140:105731. [PMID: 36827936 PMCID: PMC10068591 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
Raman spectroscopy (RS) is sensitive to the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and it measures matrix-sensitive properties that correlate with the fracture toughness of human cortical bone. However, it is unclear whether sugar-mediated accumulation of AGEs affects the fracture toughness of human cortical bone in a manner that is consistent with the negative correlations between amide I sub-peak ratios and fracture toughness. Upon machining 64 single-edge notched beam (SENB) specimens from cadaveric femurs (8 male and 7 female donors between 46 years and 61 years of age), pairs of SENB specimens were incubated in 15 mL of phosphate buffered saline with or without 0.1 M ribose for 4 weeks at 37 °C. After acquiring 10 Raman spectra per bone specimen (n = 32 per incubation group), paired SENB specimens were loaded in three-point bending at a quasi-static or a high loading rate approximating 10-4 s-1 or 10-2 s-1, respectively (n = 16 per incubation group per loading rate). While 2 amide I sub-peak ratios, I1670/I1640 and I1670/I1610, decreased by 3-5% with a 100% increase in AGE content, as confirmed by fluorescence measurements, the ribose incubation to accumulate AGEs in bone did not affect linear elastic (KIc) nor non-linear elastic (KJc) measurements of bone's ability to resist crack growth. Moreover, AGE accumulation did not affect the change in these properties when the loading rate changed. Increasing the loading rate increased KIc but decreased KJc. Ribose incubation did not affect mineral-related RS properties such as mineral-to-matrix ratios, Type B carbonate substitutions, and crystallinity. It did however increase the thermal stability of demineralized bone (differential scanning calorimetry), without affecting the network connectivity of the organic matrix (i.e., maximum slope during a hydrothermal isometric tension test of demineralized bone). In conclusion, RS is sensitive to AGE accumulation via the amide I band (plus the hydroxyproline-to-proline ratio), but the increase in AGE content due to ribose incubation was not sufficient to affect the fracture toughness of human cortical bone.

Metacarpophalangeal Joint Pathology and Bone Mineral Density Increase with Exercise but Not with Incidence of Proximal Sesamoid Bone Fracture in Thoroughbred Racehorses. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13050827.

Abstract
Proximal sesamoid bone (PSB) fracture is the leading cause of fatal musculoskeletal injury in Thoroughbred racehorses in Hong Kong and the US. Efforts are underway to investigate diagnostic modalities that could help identify racehorses at increased risk of fracture; however, features associated with PSB fracture risk are still poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate third metacarpal (MC3) and PSB density and mineral content using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), Raman spectroscopy, and ash fraction measurements, and (2) investigate PSB quality and metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) pathology using Raman spectroscopy and CT. Forelimbs were collected from 29 Thoroughbred racehorse cadavers (n = 14 PSB fracture, n = 15 control) for DXA and CT imaging, and PSBs were sectioned for Raman spectroscopy and ash fraction measurements. Bone mineral density (BMD) was greater in MC3 condyles and PSBs of horses with more high-speed furlongs. MCPJ pathology, including palmar osteochondral disease (POD), MC3 condylar sclerosis, and MC3 subchondral lysis were greater in horses with more high-speed furlongs. There were no differences in BMD or Raman parameters between fracture and control groups; however, Raman spectroscopy and ash fraction measurements revealed regional differences in PSB BMD and tissue composition. Many parameters, including MC3 and PSB bone mineral density, were strongly correlated with total high-speed furlongs.

Increased Advanced Glycation Endproducts, Stiffness, and Hardness in Iliac Crest Bone From Postmenopausal Women With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Insulin. J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:261-277.

Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a greater risk of bone fracture compared with those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). In contrast, individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have a lower or similar risk of fracture. Our objective was to understand how progressive glycemic derangement affects advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) content, composition, and mechanical properties of iliac bone from postmenopausal women with NGT (n = 35, age = 65 ± 7 years, HbA1c = 5.8% ± 0.3%), IGT (n = 26, age = 64 ± 5 years, HbA1c = 6.0% ± 0.4%), and T2DM on insulin (n = 25, age = 64 ± 6 years, HbA1c = 9.1% ± 2.2%). AGEs were assessed in all samples using high-performance liquid chromatography to measure pentosidine and in NGT/T2DM samples using multiphoton microscopy to spatially resolve the density of fluorescent AGEs (fAGEs). A subset of samples (n = 14 NGT, n = 14 T2DM) was analyzed with nanoindentation and Raman microscopy. Bone tissue from the T2DM group had greater concentrations of (i) pentosidine versus IGT (cortical +24%, p = 0.087; trabecular +35%, p = 0.007) and versus NGT (cortical +40%, p = 0.003; trabecular +35%, p = 0.004) and (ii) fAGE cross-link density versus NGT (cortical +71%, p < 0.001; trabecular +44%, p < 0.001). Bone pentosidine content in the IGT group was lower than in the T2DM group and did not differ from the NGT group, indicating that the greater AGE content observed in T2DM occurs with progressive diabetes. Individuals with T2DM on metformin had lower cortical bone pentosidine compared with individuals not on metformin (-35%, p = 0.017). Cortical bone from the T2DM group was stiffer (+9%, p = 0.021) and harder (+8%, p = 0.039) versus the NGT group. Bone tissue AGEs, which embrittle bone, increased with worsening glycemic control assessed by HbA1c (Pen: R2 = 0.28, p < 0.001; fAGE density: R2 = 0.30, p < 0.001). These relationships suggest a potential mechanism by which bone fragility may increase despite greater tissue stiffness and hardness in individuals with T2DM; our results suggest that it occurs in the transition from IGT to overt T2DM. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Cortical bone material / compositional properties in growing children and young adults aged 1.5-23 years, as a function of gender, age, metabolic activity, and growth spurt. Bone 2022; 165:116548. [PMID: 36122648 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Bone material / compositional properties are significant determinants of bone quality, thus strength. Raman spectroscopic analysis provides information on the quantity and quality of all three bone tissue components (mineral, organic matrix, and tissue water). The overwhelming majority of the published reports on the subject concern adults. We have previously reported on these properties in growing children and young adults, in the cancellous compartment. The purpose of the present study was to create normative reference data of bone material / compositional properties for children and young adults, in the cortical compartment. We performed Raman (Senterra (Bruker Optik GmbH), 50× objective, with an excitation of 785 nm (100 mW) and a lateral resolution of ~0.6 μm) microspectroscopic analysis of transiliac bone samples from 54 individuals between 1.5 and 23 years of age, with no known metabolic bone disease, and which have been previously used to establish histomorphometric, bone mineralization density distribution, and cancellous bone quality reference values. The bone quality indices that were determined were: mineral/matrix ratio (MM) from the integrated areas of the v2PO4 (410-460 cm-1) and the amide III (1215-1300 cm-1) bands, tissue water in nanopores approximated by the ratio of the integrated spectral area ~ 494-509 cm-1 to Amide III band, the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content (ratio of integrated area 1365-1390 cm-1 to the Amide III band, the sulfated proteoglycan (sPG) content as the ratio of the integrated peaks ~1062 cm-1 and 1365-1390 cm-1, the pyridinoline (Pyd) content estimated from the ratio of the absorbance height at 1660 cm-1 / area of the amide I (1620-1700 cm-1) band, and the mineral maturity / crystallinity (MMC) estimated from the inverse of the full width at half height of the v1PO4 (930-980 cm-1) band. Analyses were performed at the three distinct cortical surfaces (endosteal, osteonal, periosteal) at specific anatomical microlocations, namely the osteoid, and the three precisely known tissue ages based on the presence of fluorescence double labels. Measurements were also taken in interstitial bone, a much older tissue that has undergone extensive secondary mineralization. Overall, significant dependencies of the measured parameters on tissue age were observed, while at any given tissue age, sex and subject age were minimal confounders. The established Raman database in the cortical compartments complements the previously published one in cancellous bone, and provides healthy baseline bone quality indices that may serve as a valuable tool to identify alterations due to pediatric disease.

The extracellular matrix of human bone marrow adipocytes and glucose concentration differentially alter mineralization quality without impairing osteoblastogenesis. Bone Rep 2022; 17:101622. [PMID: 36187598 PMCID: PMC9519944 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2022.101622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) accrue in various states of osteoporosis and interfere with bone remodeling through the secretion of various factors. However, involvement of the extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by BMAds in the impairment of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (BM-MSC) osteoblastogenesis has received little attention. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), skeletal fragility is associated with several changes in bone quality that are incompletely understood, and BMAd quantity increases in relationship to poor glycemic control. Considering their altered phenotype in this pathophysiological context, we aimed to determine the contribution of the ECM of mature BMAds to osteoblastogenesis and mineralization quality in the context of chronic hyperglycemia. Human BM-MSCs were differentiated for 21 days in adipogenic medium containing either a normoglycemic (LG, 5.5 mM) or a high glucose concentration (HG, 25 mM). The ECM laid down by BMAds were devitalized through cell removal to examine their impact on the proliferation and differentiation of BM-MSCs toward osteoblastogenesis in LG and HG conditions. Compared to control plates, both adipocyte ECMs promoted cell adhesion and proliferation. As shown by the unmodified RUNX2 and osteocalcin mRNA levels, BM-MSC commitment in osteoblastogenesis was hampered by neither the hyperglycemic condition nor the adipocyte matrices. However, adipocyte ECMs or HG condition altered the mineralization phase with perturbed expression levels of type 1 collagen, MGP and osteopontin. Despite higher ALP activity, mineralization levels per cell were decreased for osteoblasts grown on adipocyte ECMs compared to controls. Raman spectrometry revealed that culturing on adipocyte matrices specifically prevents type-B carbonate substitution and favors collagen crosslinking, in contrast to exposure to HG concentration alone. Moreover, the mineral to organic ratio was disrupted according to the presence of adipocyte ECM and the glucose concentration used for adipocyte or osteoblast culture. HG concentration and adipocyte ECM lead to different defects in mineralization quality, recapitulating contradictory changes reported in T2D osteoporosis. Our study shows that ECMs from BMAds do not impair osteoblastogenesis but alter both the quantity and quality of mineralization partly in a glucose concentration-dependent manner. This finding sheds light on the involvement of BMAds, which should be considered in the compromised bone quality of T2D and osteoporosis patients more generally. Glucose level alters the Extracellular Matrix composition of Bone Marrow adipocytes. Osteoblastogenesis on adipocyte ECMs is unaltered but produced less mineral amount. The quality of the mineral is altered differently by adipocyte ECMs or glucose levels. The presence of BM adipocytes should be valued in damaged osteoporosis bone quality.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients present with symptoms such as impairment of insulin signaling, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. Furthermore, there are comorbidities associated with AD progression. For example, osteoporosis is common with AD wherein patients exhibit reduced mineralization and a risk for fragility fractures. However, there is a lack of understanding on the effects of AD on bone beyond loss of bone density. To this end, we investigated the effects of AD on bone quality using the 5XFAD transgenic mouse model in which 12-month-old 5XFAD mice showed accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ42) compared with wild-type (WT) littermates (n = 10/group; 50% female, 50% male). Here, we observed changes in cortical bone but not in cancellous bone quality. Both bone mass and bone quality, measured in femoral samples using imaging (micro-CT, confocal Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction [XRD]), mechanical (fracture tests), and chemical analyses (biochemical assays), were altered in the 5XFAD mice compared with WT. Micro-CT results showed 5XFAD mice had lower volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) and increased endocortical bone loss. XRD results showed decreased mineralization with smaller mineral crystals. Bone matrix compositional properties, from Raman, showed decreased crystallinity along with higher accumulation of glycoxidation products and glycation products, measured biochemically. 5XFAD mice also demonstrated loss of initiation and maximum toughness. We observed that carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and mineralization correlated with initiation toughness, whereas crystal size and pentosidine (PEN) correlated with maximum toughness, suggesting bone matrix changes predominated by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and altered/poor mineral quality explained loss of fracture toughness. Our findings highlight two pathways to skeletal fragility in AD through alteration of bone quality: (i) accumulation of AGEs; and (ii) loss of crystallinity, decreased crystal size, and loss of mineralization. We observed that the accumulation of amyloidosis in brain correlated with an increase in several AGEs, consistent with a mechanistic link between elevated Aβ42 levels in the brain and AGE accumulation in bone. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Collagen cross-link profiles and mineral are different between the mandible and femur with site specific response to perturbed collagen. Bone Rep 2022; 17:101629. [PMID: 36325166 PMCID: PMC9618783 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2022.101629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Compromises to collagen and mineral lead to a decrease in whole bone quantity and quality in a variety of systemic diseases, yet, clinically, disease manifestations differ between craniofacial and long bones. Collagen alterations can occur through post-translational modification via lysyl oxidase (LOX), which catalyzes enzymatic collagen cross-link formation, as well as through non-enzymatic advanced glycation end products (AGEs) such as pentosidine and carboxymethyl-lysine (CML). Characterization of the cross-links and AGEs, and comparison of the mineral and collagen modifications in craniofacial and long bones represent a critical gap in knowledge. However, alterations to either the mineral or collagen in bone may contribute to disease progression and, subsequently, the anatomical site dependence of a variety of diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that collagen cross-links and AGEs differ between craniofacial and long bones and that altered collagen cross-linking reduces mineral quality in an anatomic location dependent. To study the effects of cross-link inhibition on mineralization between anatomical sites, beta-aminoproprionitrile (BAPN) was administered to rapidly growing, 5-8 week-old male mice. BAPN is a dose-dependent inhibitor of LOX that pharmacologically alters enzymatic cross-link formation. Long bones (femora) and craniofacial bones (mandibles) were compared for mineral quantity and quality, collagen cross-link and AGE profiles, and tissue level mechanics, as well as the response to altered cross-links via BAPN. A highly sensitive liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was developed which allowed for quantification of site-dependent accumulation of the advanced glycation end-product, carboxymethyl-lysine (CML). CML was ∼8.3× higher in the mandible than the femur. The mandible had significantly higher collagen maturation, mineral crystallinity, and Young's modulus, but lower carbonation, than the femur. BAPN also had anatomic specific effects, leading to significant decreases in mature cross-links in the mandible, and an increase in mineral carbonation in the femur. This differential response of both the mineral and collagen composition to BAPN between the mandible and femur highlights the need to further understand how inherent compositional differences in collagen and mineral contribute to anatomic-site specific manifestations of disease in both craniofacial and long bones.

Bone Molecular Modifications Induced by Diagenesis Followed-Up for 12 Months. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11101542. [PMID: 36290445 PMCID: PMC9598178 DOI: 10.3390/biology11101542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
After death, diagenesis takes place. Numerous processes occur concomitantly, which makes it difficult to identify the diagenetic processes. The diagenetic processes refer to all processes (chemical or physical) that modify the skeletal remains. These processes are highly variable depending on the environmental factors (weather, temperature, age, sex, etc.), especially in the early stages. Numerous studies have evaluated bone diagenetic processes over long timescales (~millions of years), but fewer have been done over short timescales (between days and thousands of years). The objective of the study is to assess the early stages of diagenetic processes by Raman microspectroscopy over 12 months. The mineral and organic matrix modifications are monitored through physicochemical parameters. Ribs from six humans were buried in soil. The modifications of bone composition were followed by Raman spectroscopy each month. The decrease in the mineral/organic ratio and carbonate type-B content and the increase in crystallinity reveal that minerals undergo dissolution-recrystallization. The decrease in collagen cross-linking indicates that collagen hydrolysis induces the fragmentation of collagen fibres over 12 months.

Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients with teriparatide for 24 months reverts forming bone quality indices to premenopausal healthy control values. Bone 2022; 162:116478. [PMID: 35779845 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) therapies are frequently evaluated by bone mineral density (BMD) gains against patients receiving placebo (calcium and vitamin D supplementation, a mild bone turnover-suppressing intervention), which is not equivalent to either healthy or treatment-naive PMOP. The aim of the present observational study was to assess the effects of TPTD treatment in PMOP (20 μg, once daily) at 6 (TPTD 6m; n = 28, age 65 ± 7.3 years), and 24 (TPTD 24m; n = 32, age 67.4 ± 6.15 years) months on bone quality indices at actively forming trabecular surfaces (with fluorescent double labels). Data from the TPTD-treated PMOP patients were compared with those in healthy adult premenopausal women (HC; n = 62, age 40.5 ± 10.6 years), and PMOP receiving placebo (PMOP-PLC; n = 94, age 70.6 ± 4.5 years). Iliac crest biopsies were analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy at three distinct tissue ages: mid-distance between the second label and the bone surface, mid-distance between the two labels, and 1 μm behind the first label. Mineral to matrix ratio (MM), mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC), tissue water (TW), glycosaminoglycan (GAGs), and pyridinoline (Pyd) content were determined. Outcomes were compared by ANCOVA with subject age and tissue age as covariates, and health status as a fixed factor, followed by Sidak's post-hoc testing (significance assigned to p < 0.05). Both TPTD groups increased MM compared to PMOP-PLC. While TPTD 6m had values similar to HC, TPTD 24m had higher values compared to either HC or TPTD 6m. Both TPTD groups had lower MMC values compared to PMOP-PLC and similar to HC. TPTD 6m patients had higher TW content compared to HC, while TPTD 24m had values similar to HC and lower than either PMOP-PLC or TPTD 6m. Both TPTD groups had lower GAG content compared to HC group, while TPTD 6m had higher values compared to PMOP-PLC. Finally, TPTD 6m patients had higher Pyd content compared to HC and lower compared to PMOP-PLC, while TPTD 24m had lower values compared to PMOP-PLC and TPTD 6m, and similar to HC group. The results of the present study indicate that effects of TPTD on forming trabecular bone quality indices depend on treatment duration. At the recommended length of 24 m, TPTD restores bone mineral and organic matrix quality indices (MMC, TW, Pyd content) to premenopausal healthy (HC) levels.

Chronological Age Estimation of Male Occipital Bone Based on FTIR and Raman Microspectroscopy. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:1729131. [PMID: 36065391 PMCID: PMC9440630 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1729131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Age-related changes in bone tissue have always been an important part of bone research, and age estimation is also of great significance in forensic work. In our study, FTIR and Raman microspectroscopy were combined to explore the structural and chronological age-related changes in the occipital bones of 40 male donors. The FTIR micro-ATR mode not only achieves the comparison of FTIR and Raman efficiency but also provides a new pattern for the joint detection of FTIR and Raman in hard tissue. Statistical analysis and PCA results revealed that the structure had little effect on the FTIR and Raman results. The FTIR and Raman mineral/matrix ratio, carbonate/phosphate ratio, crystallinity, and collagen maturity of the whole showed an increasing trend during maturation, and a significant correlation was found between FTIR and Raman by comparing four outcomes. Furthermore, the results indicated that the cutoff point of the change in the relative proportion of organic matrix and inorganic minerals in males was between 19 and 35 years old, and the changes in the relative proportion of organic matrix and inorganic minerals may play a key role in age estimation. Ultimately, we established age estimation regression models. The FTIR GA-PLS regression model has the best performance and is more suitable for our experiment (RMSECV = 10.405, RMSEP = 9.2654, R2CV = 0.814, and R2Pred = 0.828). Overall, FTIR and Raman combined with chemometrics are an ideal method to estimate chronological age based on age-dependent component changes in male occipital bones. Our experiment provides a proof of concept and potential experimental method for chronological age estimation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine changes of subchondral bone composition, micro-structure, bone marrow adiposity and micro-vascular perfusion in end-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) compared to osteoarthritis (OA) using a combined in vivo and ex vivo approach. DESIGN Male patients up to 70 years old referred for total hip replacement surgery for end-stage ONFH were included (n = 14). Fifteen patients with OA were controls. Pre-operative MRI was used to assess bone perfusion (dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) sequences) and marrow fat content (chemical shift imaging). Three distinct zones of femoral head subchondral bone - necrotic, sclerotic, distant - were compared between groups. After surgery, plugs were sampled in these zones and Raman spectroscopy was applied to characterize bone mineral and organic components (old and newly-formed), and contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CE-μCT) to determine bone micro-structural parameters and volume of bone marrow adipocytes, using conventional 2D histology as a reference. RESULTS In the necrotic zone of ONFH patients compared to OA patients: 1) the subchondral plate did not exhibit significant changes in composition nor structure; 2) the volume fraction of subchondral trabecular bone was significantly lower; 3) type-B carbonate substitution was less pronounced, 4) collagen maturity was more pronounced; and 5) bone marrow adipocytes were significantly depleted. The sclerotic zone from the ONFH group showed greater trabecular thickness, and higher DCE-MRI AUC and Ktrans. Volume fraction of subchondral bone, trabecular number, and Kep were significantly lower in the distant zone of the ONFH group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated alterations of subchondral bone microstructure, composition, perfusion and/or adipose content in all zones of the femoral head.

Abstract
Poor bone quality is associated with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), with patients having a higher risk of fracture despite normal to high bone mineral density (BMD). Diabetes contributes to modifications of the mineral and organic matrix of bone. Hyperglycemia has been linked to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which increase the risk for skeletal fragility fractures. To this end, we investigated diabetes-induced skeletal fragility using a high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model and evaluated the efficacy of phenacyl thiazolium chloride (PTC) for in vitro removal of glycation products to rescue bone toughness. Ten-week-old C57BL/6 J male mice (n = 6/group) were fed a HFD or low-fat diet (LFD) for 22 weeks. Mice given a HFD developed T2D and increased body mass compared to LFD-fed mice. MicroCT results showed that diabetic mice had altered microarchitecture and increased mineralization as determined by volumetric BMD and increased mineral crystal size as determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Diabetic mice demonstrated loss of initiation and maximum toughness, which represent estimates of the stress intensity factor at a notch tip using yield force and ultimate force, respectively. Diabetic mice also showed higher accumulation of AGEs measured by biochemical assay (total fAGEs) and confocal Raman spectroscopy (Pentosidine (PEN), Carboxymethyl-lysine (CML)). Regression analyses confirmed the association between increased glycoxidation (CML, PEN) and loss of fracture toughness. Within the diabetic group, CML was the most significant predictor of initiation toughness while PEN predicted maximum toughness as determined by stepwise linear regression (i.e., stepAIC). Contralateral femora from HFD group were harvested and treated with PTC in vitro. PTC-treated samples showed total fAGEs decreased by 41.2%. PTC treatment partially restored bone toughness as, compared to T2D controls, maximum toughness increased by 35%. Collectively, our results demonstrate that matrix modifications in diet-induced T2D, particularly AGEs, induce bone fragility and their removal from bone matrix partially rescues T2D associated bone fragility.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy (RS) is used to analyze the physiochemical properties of bone because it is non-destructive and requires minimal sample preparation. With over two decades of research involving measurements of mineral-to-matrix ratio, type-B carbonate substitution, crystallinity, and other compositional characteristics of the bone matrix by RS, there are multiple methods to acquire Raman signals from bone, to process those signals, and to determine peak ratios including sub-peak ratios as well as the full-width at half maximum of the most prominent Raman peak, which is nu1 phosphate (ν1PO4). Selecting which methods to use is not always clear. Herein, we describe the components of RS instruments and how they influence the quality of Raman spectra acquired from bone because signal-to-noise of the acquisition and the accompanying background fluorescence dictate the pre-processing of the Raman spectra. We also describe common methods and challenges in preparing acquired spectra for the determination of matrix properties of bone. This article also serves to provide guidance for the analysis of bone by RS with examples of how methods for pre-processing the Raman signals and for determining properties of bone composition affect RS sensitivity to potential differences between experimental groups. Attention is also given to deconvolution methods that are used to ascertain sub-peak ratios of the amide I band as a way to assess characteristics of collagen type I. We provide suggestions and recommendations on the application of RS to bone with the goal of improving reproducibility across studies and solidify RS as a valuable technique in the field of bone research.

Bone matrix quality in paired iliac bone biopsies from postmenopausal women treated for 12 months with strontium ranelate or alendronate. Bone 2021; 153:116107. [PMID: 34260980 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Bone quality is altered mainly by osteoporosis, which is treated with modulators of bone quality. Knowledge of their mechanisms of action is crucial to understand their effects on bone quality. The goal of our study was to compare the action of alendronate (ALN) and strontium ranelate (SrRan) on the determinants of bone quality. The investigation was performed on over 60 paired human iliac biopsies. Paired samples correspond to biopsies obtained from the same patient, one before treatment (baseline) and one after 12 months of treatment, in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and FTIRM) and nanoindentation were used to evaluate the effect of both drugs on bone quality at the ultrastructural level. Outcomes measured by vibrational spectroscopy and nanoindentation are sensitive to bone age. New bone packets are distinguished from old bone packets. Thus, the effect of bone age is distinguished from the treatment effect. Both drugs modify the mineral and organic composition in new and old bone in different fashions after 12 months of administration. The new bone formed during ALN administration is characterized by an increased mineral content, carbonation and apatite crystal size/perfection compared to baseline. Post-translational modifications of collagen are observed through an increase in the hydroxyproline/proline ratio in new bone. The proteoglycan content is also increased in new bone. SrRan directly modulates bone quality through its physicochemical actions, independent of an effect on bone remodeling. Strontium cations are captured by the hydrated layer of the mineral matrix. The mineral matrix formed during SrRan administration has a lower carbonate content and crystallinity after 12 months than at baseline. Strontium might create bonds (crosslinks) with collagen and noncollagenous proteins in new and old bone. The nanomechanical properties of bone were not modified with either ALN or SrRan, probably due to the short duration of administration. Our results show that ALN and SrRan have differential effects on bone quality in relation to their mechanism of action.

Abstract
Engineered biomaterials provide unique functions to overcome the bottlenecks seen in biomedicine. Hence, a technique for rapid and routine tests of collagen is required, in which the test items commonly include molecular weight, crosslinking degree, purity, and sterilization induced structural change. Among them, the crosslinking degree mainly influences collagen properties. In this study, second harmonic generation (SHG) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy are used in combination to explore the collagen structure at molecular and macromolecular scales. These measured parameters are applied for the classification and quantification among the different collagen scaffolds, which were verified by other conventional methods. It is demonstrated that the crosslinking status can be analyzed from SHG images and presented as the coherency of collagen organization that is correlated with the mechanical properties. Also, the comparative analyses of SHG signal and relative CARS signal of amide III band at 1,240 cm−1 to δCH2 band at 1,450 cm−1 of these samples provide information regarding the variation of the molecular structure during a crosslinking process, thus serving as nonlinear optical signatures to indicate a successful crosslinking.

Abstract
Post-menopausal osteoporosis is characterized by a negative imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption resulting in a net bone loss, increasing the risk of fracture. One of the earliest interventions to protect against this was hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Bone strength depends on both the amount and quality of bone, the latter including compositional / material and structural properties. Bone compositional / material properties are greatly dependent on both patient-, and tissue-age. Raman spectroscopy is an analytical tool ideally suited for the determination of bone compositional / material properties as a function of tissue age as it is capable of analyzing areas ~1 × 1 μm2 in tetracycline labeled bone forming areas. Using such analysis of humeri from an ovariectomized primate animal model, we reported that loss of estrogen results in alteration in the mineralization regulation mechanisms by osteoid organic matrix attributes at actively forming bone surfaces. In the present work, we used Raman microspectroscopic techniques to compare osteoid and youngest mineralized tissue composition, as well as relationships between osteoid organic matrix quality and quality attributes of the earliest mineralized tissue in paired iliac crest biopsies obtained from early postmenopausal women before and after two years of HRT therapy. Significant correlations between osteoid proteoglycans, sulfated proteoglycans, pyridinoline, and earliest mineralized tissue mineral content were observed, suggesting that in addition to changes in bone turnover rates, HRT affects the osteoid composition, mineralization regulation mechanisms, and potentially fibrillogenesis.

Abstract
Advances in vibrational spectroscopy have propelled new insights into the molecular composition and structure of biological tissues. In this review, we discuss common modalities and techniques of vibrational spectroscopy, and present key examples to illustrate how they have been applied to enrich the assessment of connective tissues. In particular, we focus on applications of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), near infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy to assess cartilage and bone properties. We present strengths and limitations of each approach and discuss how the combination of spectrometers with microscopes (hyperspectral imaging) and fiber optic probes have greatly advanced their biomedical applications. We show how these modalities may be used to evaluate virtually any type of sample (ex vivo, in situ or in vivo) and how "spectral fingerprints" can be interpreted to quantify outcomes related to tissue composition and quality. We highlight the unparalleled advantage of vibrational spectroscopy as a label-free and often nondestructive approach to assess properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) associated with normal, developing, aging, pathological and treated tissues. We believe this review will assist readers not only in better understanding applications of FTIR, NIR and Raman spectroscopy, but also in implementing these approaches for their own research projects.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at an increased risk of fracture despite normal to high bone mineral density (BMD) values. In this cross-sectional study we establish bone compositional properties in tetracycline labeled iliac crest biopsies from premenopausal women diagnosed with T2DM (N = 26). Within group comparisons were made as a function of tissue age (TA), presence of chronic complications (CC), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and morphometric fracture (MFx). We also compared these data at actively trabecular bone forming surfaces against sex- and age-matched healthy controls (N = 32). The bone quality indices determined by Raman microspectroscopic analysis were: mineral/matrix (MM), tissue water content (nanoporosity; NanoP), mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC), and glycosaminoglycan (GAG), pyridinoline (Pyd), N-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), and pentosidine (PEN) content. Within the T2DM group, at the oldest tissue, CML and PEN contents were significantly elevated in the cancellous compared to cortical compartment. The outcomes were not dependent on MFx. On the other hand, both were significantly elevated in patients with CC, as well as those with HbA1c levels > 7%. At actively forming surfaces, the cortical compartment had higher NanoP compared to cancellous. Still within the T2DM group, patients with MFx had significantly elevated MM and GAGs compared to the ones that did not. At actively forming trabecular surfaces, compared to healthy women, T2DM patients had elevated GAGs content and MMC. The results of this study indicate increased AGEs in those with poor glycation control and chronic complications. Additionally, T2DM patients had elevated MMC and decreased GAGs content compared to healthy controls. These alterations may be contributing to the T2DM inherent elevated fracture risk and suggest a role for hyperglycemia on bone quality.

Abstract
Bone strength in human cortical bone is determined by the composition and structure of both the mineral and collagen matrices and influenced by factors such as age, gender, health, lifestyle and genetic factors. Age-related changes in the bone matrix are known to result in loss of mechanical strength and increased fragility. In this study we show how Raman spectroscopy, with its exquisite sensitivity to the molecular structure of bone, reveals new insights into age- and sex-related differences. Raman analysis of 18 samples of cortical hip bone obtained from people aged between 47–82 years with osteoarthritis (OA) found subtle changes in the lipid and collagen secondary structure, and the carbonate (CO32−) and phosphate (PO43−) mineral ratios in the bone matrix. Significant differences were observed between older and younger bones, and between older female and older male bones; no significant differences were observed between younger male and female bones. Older female bones presented the lowest mineral to matrix ratios (MMR) and highest CO32−/PO43− ratios, and relative to lipid/collagen –CH2 deformation modes at 1450 cm−1 they had lowest overall mineral content, higher collagen cross linking and lipid content but lower levels of α-helix collagen structures than older male and younger male and female bones. These observations provided further insight on bone composition changes observed in the bone volume fraction (BV/TV) for the older female bones from microCT measurements on the same samples, while tissue mineral density (TMD) measurements had shown no significant differences between the samples.

Abstract
Terminal sterilization of bone allograft by gamma radiation is required to reduce the risk of infection. Free radical scavengers could be utilized to minimize the deteriorating effects of gamma radiation on bone allograft mechanical properties. The objective of this research is to assess the changes in structural and chemical composition induced by hydroxytyrosol (HT) and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) free radical scavengers in gamma sterilized cortical bone. Bovine femurs specimens were soaked in different concentrations of HT and ALA for 7 and 3 days respectively before irradiation with 35 KGy gamma radiation. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the X-ray diffraction techniques were utilized to analyze the changes in chemical composition induced by irradiation in the presence of free radical scavengers. A significant increase in the proportion of amide I and amide II to phosphate was noticed in the irradiated group, while in the pretreated groups with ALA and HT this effect was minimized. In addition, gamma radiation reduced the mature to immature cross links while ALA and HT alleviated this reduction. No significant changes were noticed in the mineral crystallinity or crystal size. Bone chemical structure has been changed due to gamma irradiation and these changes are mainly relevant to amide I, amide II proportions and collagen crosslinks. The deteriorating effects of gamma sterilization dose (35 kGy) on chemical structure of bone allograft can be alleviated by using (HT) and (ALA) free radical scavengers before irradiation.

Abstract
As the application of Raman spectroscopy to study bone has grown over the past decade, making it a peer technology to FTIR spectroscopy, it has become critical to understand their complimentary roles. Recent technological advancements have allowed these techniques to collect grids of spectra in a spatially resolved fashion to generate compositional images. The advantage of imaging with these techniques is that it allows the heterogenous bone tissue composition to be resolved and quantified. In this review we compare, for non-experts in the field of vibrational spectroscopy, the instrumentation and underlying physical principles of FTIR imaging (FTIRI) and Raman imaging. Additionally, we discuss the strengths and limitations of FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, address sample preparation, and discuss outcomes to provide researchers insight into which techniques are best suited for a given research question. We then briefly discuss previous applications of FTIRI and Raman imaging to characterize bone tissue composition and relationships of compositional outcomes with mechanical performance. Finally, we discuss emerging technical developments in FTIRI and Raman imaging which provide new opportunities to identify changes in bone tissue composition with disease, age, and drug treatment.

Abstract
Biomaterials used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications benefit from longitudinal monitoring in a non-destructive manner. Label-free imaging based on fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the degree of genipin (GE) cross-linking of antigen-removed bovine pericardium (ARBP) at three incubation time points (0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 h). Fluorescence lifetime decreased and the emission spectrum redshifted compared to that of uncross-linked ARBP. The Raman signature of GE-ARBP was resonance-enhanced due to the GE cross-linker that generated new Raman bands at 1165, 1326, 1350, 1380, 1402, 1470, 1506, 1535, 1574, 1630, 1728, and 1741 cm-1. These were validated through density functional theory calculations as cross-linker-specific bands. A multivariate multiple regression model was developed to enhance the biochemical specificity of FLIm parameters fluorescence intensity ratio (R2 = 0.92) and lifetime (R2 = 0.94)) with Raman spectral results. FLIm and Raman spectroscopy detected biochemical changes occurring in the collagenous tissue during the cross-linking process that were characterized by the formation of a blue pigment which affected the tissue fluorescence and scattering properties. In conclusion, FLIm parameters and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the degree of cross-linking non-destructively.

Abstract
Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) measured by Impact Microindentation is generally lower in subjects with fragility fractures independently of BMD values. We recently reported that in humans, BMSi values are strongly associated with material properties of subperiosteal mineralized bone surface (local mineral content, nanoporosity, pyridinoline content). In the present study we investigated the relationship of BMSi with material properties of the whole bone cortex, by analyzing thin sections of iliac crest biopsies (N = 12) from patients with different skeletal disorders and a wide range of BMD with or without fractures, by Fourier transform infrared imaging (FTIRI). The calculated parameters were: i) mineral and organic matrix content and their ratio (MM), ii) mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC) and iii) the ratio of pyridinoline (Pyd) and divalent collagen cross-links (XLR). Results were expressed as images, which were converted to histogram distributions. For each histogram the characteristics recorded were: mean value, mode (most often occurring value), skewness, and kurtosis and their association with BMSi values was examined by correlation analysis. BMSi values were significantly correlated only with MM mean and mode values (r = 0.736, p = 0.0063, and r = 0.855, p = 0.0004, respectively), and with XLR mode values (r = -0.632, p = 0.0274). The results of the present study demonstrate that BMSi values are strongly associated with MM, a metric that corrects the mineral content for the organic matrix content, and may also depend on organic matrix quality. These and our previous observations strongly suggest that BMSi assesses material properties of cortical bone.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) caused by PHEX mutations results in elevated serum FGF23 levels, renal phosphate wasting and low 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. The glycophosphoprotein osteopontin, a potent inhibitor of mineralization normally degraded by PHEX, accumulates within the bone matrix. Conventional therapy consisting of supplementation with phosphate and vitamin D analogs is burdensome and the effects on bone material poorly characterized. We analyzed transiliac bone biopsies from four adult patients, two of them severely affected due to no diagnosis and no treatment until adulthood. We used light microscopy, qBEI and FTIRI to study histology, histomorphometry, bone mineralization density distribution, properties of the organic matrix and size of hypomineralized periosteocytic lesions. Non-treatment resulted in severe osteomalacia, twice the amount of mineralized trabecular volume, multiple osteon-like perforations, continuity of lamellae from mineralized to unmineralized areas and distinctive patches of woven bone. Periosteocytic lesions were larger than in treated patients. The latter had nearly normal osteoid thicknesses, although surface was still elevated. The median calcium content of the matrix was always within normal range, although the percentage of lowly mineralized bone areas was highly increased in non-treated patients, resulting in a marked heterogeneity in mineralization. Divalent collagen cross-links were evident independently of the mineral content of the matrix. Broad osteoid seams lacked measurable pyridinoline, a mature trivalent cross-link and exhibited considerable acidic lipid content, typically found in matrix vesicles. Based on our results, we propose a model that possibly integrates the relationship between the observed mineralization disturbances, FGF23 secretion and the known osteopontin accumulation in XLH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients receiving radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas are often at risk of post-irradiation (post-RTx) bone fragility fractures, but our understanding of factors controlling radiation-induced bone injury is limited. Previous studies have evaluated post-RTx changes to cortical bone composition in the periosteum of irradiated tibiae, but have not evaluated effects of irradiation in deeper tissues, such as endosteal or mid-cortical bone, and whether there are differential spatial effects of irradiation. In this study, we hypothesize that post-RTx changes to cortical bone composition are greater in endosteal compared to mid-cortical or periosteal bone. METHODS A pre-clinical mouse model of limited field hindlimb irradiation was used to evaluate spatial and temporal post-RTx changes to the metaphyseal cortex of irradiated tibiae. Irradiation was delivered unilaterally to the hindlimbs of 12-wk old female BALB/cJ mice as 4 consecutive daily doses of 5 Gy each. RTx and non-RTx tibiae were obtained at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 wks post-RTx (n = 9 mice/group/time). Raman spectroscopy was used to evaluate spatial and temporal post-RTx changes to cortical bone composition in age-matched RTx and non-RTx groups. RESULTS Significant early spatial differences in mineral/matrix and collagen crosslink ratios were found between endosteal and periosteal or mid-cortical bone at 2-wks post-RTx. Although spatial differences were transient, mineral/matrix ratios significantly decreased and collagen crosslink ratios significantly increased with post-RTx time throughout the entire tibial metaphyseal cortex. CONCLUSIONS Irradiation negatively impacts the composition of cortical bone in a spatially-dependent manner starting as early as 2-wks post-RTx. Long-term progressive post-RTx changes across all cortical bone sites may eventually contribute to the increased risk of post-RTx bone fragility fractures.

Abstract
Owing to its antiresorptive properties, zoledronic acid (ZOL) is commonly used in the management of benign as well as malignant bone diseases. This molecule targets sites where bone is actively remodeling, and high concentrations have been reported in the jaw. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether treatment of male rats with ZOL, at a dosage equivalent to that used for antitumor treatment, impacts the short-term qualitative properties of mandibular bone independent of bone remodeling. Thirty rats were randomly assigned to treatment either with ZOL or with serum-vehicle (control) (weekly injections: 100 μg kg-1 for 6 wk, n = 15 per group). Using the tetracycline double-labeling technique, remodeled bone areas, corresponding to the preferential site of bisphosphonate binding, were found in the alveolar bone along the alveolar bone proper. The composition of bone in these areas was characterized using Raman microspectroscopy and compared with adjacent, non-remodeled, older bone. The ZOL-treated group exhibited higher crystallinity in the remodeled bone areas (+2%), reflecting an early maturation of the apatite mineral after ZOL injection. Our findings highlight a direct and rapid effect of clinically relevant anti-tumoral ZOL doses on the qualitative properties of mandibular bone, especially on mineral crystallinity in the vicinity of the teeth, namely, the alveolar bone proper.

Abstract
Anti-resorptive and anabolic treatments can be used sequentially to treat osteoporosis, but their effects on bone composition are incompletely understood. Osteocytes may influence bone tissue composition with sequential therapies because bisphosphonates diffuse into the canalicular network and anabolic treatments increase osteocyte lacunar size. Cortical bone composition of osteopenic, ovariectomized (OVX) rats was compared to that of Sham-operated rats and OVX rats given monotherapy or sequential regimens of single approved anti-osteoporosis medications. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were OVX (N = 37) or Sham-OVXd (N = 6). After 2 months, seven groups of OVX rats were given three consecutive 3-month periods of treatment with vehicle (V), h-PTH (1-34) (P), alendronate (A), or raloxifene (R), using the following orders: VVV, PVV, RRR, RPR, AAA, AVA, and APA. Compositional properties around osteocyte lacunae of the left tibial cortex were assessed from Raman spectra in perilacunar and non-perilacunar bone matrix regions. Sequential treatments involving parathyroid hormone (PTH) caused lower mean collagen maturity relative to monotherapies. Mean mineral:matrix ratio was 2.2% greater, mean collagen maturity was 1.4% greater, and mean carbonate:phosphate ratio was 2.2% lower in the perilacunar than in the non-perilacunar bone matrix region (all P < 0.05). These data demonstrate cortical bone tissue composition differences around osteocytes caused by sequential treatment with anti-osteoporosis medications. We speculate that the region-specific differences demonstrate the ability of osteocytes to alter bone tissue composition adjacent to lacunae.

Abstract
Abstract
There is a substantial loss of value in bovine leather every year due to a leather quality defect known as “looseness”. Data show that 7% of domestic hide production is affected to some degree, with a loss of $35 m in export returns. This investigation is devoted to gaining a better understanding of tight and loose wet blue leather based on vibrational spectroscopy observations of its structural variations caused by physical and chemical changes that also affect the tensile and tear strength. Several regions from the wet blue leather were selected for analysis. Samples of wet blue bovine leather were collected and studied in the sliced form using Raman spectroscopy (using 532 nm excitation laser) and Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform InfraRed (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The purpose of this study was to use ATR-FTIR and Raman spectra to classify distal axilla (DA) and official sampling position (OSP) leather samples and then employ univariate or multivariate analysis or both. For univariate analysis, the 1448 cm− 1 (CH2 deformation) band and the 1669 cm− 1 (Amide I) band were used for evaluating the lipid-to-protein ratio from OSP and DA Raman and IR spectra as indicators of leather quality. Curve-fitting by the sums-of-Gaussians method was used to calculate the peak area ratios of 1448 and 1669 cm− 1 band. The ratio values obtained for DA and OSP are 0.57 ± 0.099, 0.73 ± 0.063 for Raman and 0.40 ± 0.06 and 0.50 ± 0.09 for ATR-FTIR. The results provide significant insight into how these regions can be classified. Further, to identify the spectral changes in the secondary structures of collagen, the Amide I region (1600–1700 cm− 1) was investigated and curve-fitted-area ratios were calculated. The 1648:1681 cm− 1 (non-reducing: reducing collagen types) band area ratios were used for Raman and 1632:1650 cm− 1 (triple helix: α-like helix collagen) for IR. The ratios show a significant difference between the two classes. To support this qualitative analysis, logistic regression was performed on the univariate data to classify the samples quantitatively into one of the two groups. Accuracy for Raman data was 90% and for ATR-FTIR data 100%. Both Raman and ATR-FTIR complemented each other very well in differentiating the two groups. As a comparison, and to reconfirm the classification, multivariate analysis was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The results obtained indicate good classification between the two leather groups based on protein and lipid content. Principal component score 2 (PC2) distinguishes OSP and DA by symmetrically grouping samples at positive and negative extremes. The study demonstrates an excellent model for wider research on vibrational spectroscopy for early and rapid diagnosis of leather quality.

Impact microindentation assesses subperiosteal bone material properties in humans. Bone 2020; 131:115110.

Abstract
Impact microindentation (IMI) is a Reference Point Indentation technique measuring tissue-level properties of cortical bone in humans in vivo. The nature, however, of the properties that can affect bone strength is incompletely understood. In the present study we examined bone material properties in transiliac bone biopsies obtained concurrently with measurements of Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) by IMI in 12 patients with different skeletal disorders and a wide range of BMD, with or without fractures (8 males, 4 females, mean age 48±12.2 (SD) years, range 15-60 years). IMI was performed in the mid-shaft of the right tibia with a hand-held microindenter (OsteoProbe). Cancellous and cortical bone mineralization density distributions (BMDD) were measured in the entire biopsy bone area by quantitative backscattered electron imaging. Raman measurements were obtained right at the outer edge of the cortex, and 5, 50, 100, 500μm inwards. The calculated parameters were: i) Mineral and organic matrix content as well as the mineral / matrix ratio. ii) Nanoporosity. iii) Glycosaminoglycan content. iv) Pyridinoline content. v) Maturity/crystallinity of the apatite crystallites. There was no relationship between BMSi values with any measurement of mineral content of whole bone tissue (BMD, BMDD) or maturity/crystallinity of bone mineral. On the other hand, a positive correlation between BMSi and local mineral content, and an inverse correlation between BMSi and nanoporosity at the mineralized subperiosteal edge of the sample and at 5μm inwards was found. A positive correlation was also observed between BMSi and pyridinoline content at the same locations. These results indicate that local mineral content, nanoporosity and pyridinoline content at the subperiosteal site in the transiliac bone biopsy are linked to the BMSi values measured in the tibia. As both high porosity at the nano level and low pyridinoline content of the bone matrix can negatively impact bone strength, our findings suggest that BMSi most likely assesses subperiosteal bone material properties.

Abstract
Smoking is a major risk factor for dental implant failure. In addition to higher marginal bone loss around implants, the cellular and molecular responses to injury and implant physicochemical properties are also differentially affected in smokers. The purpose of this work is to determine if smoking impairs bone microstructure and extracellular matrix composition within the dental alveolar socket after tooth extraction. Alveolar bone biopsies obtained from Smokers (> 10 cigarettes per day for at least 10 years) and Ctrl (never-smokers), 7-146 months after tooth extraction, were investigated using X-ray micro-computed tomography, backscattered electron scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Both Smokers and Ctrl exhibited high inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity in bone microstructure, which varied between dense cortical and porous trabecular architecture. Regions of disorganised/woven bone were more prevalent during early healing. Remodelled lamellar bone was predominant at longer healing periods. Bone mineral density, bone surface-to-volume ratio, mineral crystallinity, the carbonate-to-phosphate ratio, the mineral-to-matrix ratio, the collagen crosslink ratio, and the amounts of amino acids phenylalanine and proline/hydroxyproline were also comparable between Smokers and Ctrl. Bone microstructure and composition within the healing dental alveolar socket are not significantly affected by moderate-to-heavy smoking.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of a complex mesh of proteins, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans, and is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of biological tissues. Imaging and biomolecular characterization of the ECM is critical for understanding disease onset and for the development of novel, disease-modifying therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of Raman spectroscopy to characterize the ECM. Raman spectroscopy is a label-free vibrational technique that offers unique insights into the structure and composition of tissues and cells at the molecular level. This technique can be applied across a broad range of ECM imaging applications, which encompass in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo analysis. State-of-the-art confocal Raman microscopy imaging now enables label-free assessments of the ECM structure and composition in tissue sections with a remarkably high degree of biomolecular specificity. Further, novel fiber-optic instrumentation has opened up for clinical in vivo ECM diagnostic measurements across a range of tissue systems. A palette of advanced computational methods based on multivariate statistics, spectral unmixing, and machine learning can be applied to Raman data, allowing for the extraction of specific biochemical information of the ECM. Here, we review Raman spectroscopy techniques for ECM characterizations over a variety of exciting applications and tissue systems, including native tissue assessments (bone, cartilage, cardiovascular), regenerative medicine quality assessments, and diagnostics of disease states. We further discuss the challenges in the widespread adoption of Raman spectroscopy in biomedicine. The results of the latest discovery-driven Raman studies are summarized, illustrating the current and potential future applications of Raman spectroscopy in biomedicine.

Abstract
AbstractCollagen structure in biological tissues imparts its intrinsic physical properties by the formation of several covalent crosslinks. For the first time, two major crosslinks in the skin dihydroxylysinonorleucine (HLNL) and histidinohydroxymerodesmosine (HHMD), were isotopically labelled and then analysed by liquid-chromatography high-resolution accurate-mass mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The isotopic labelling followed by LC-HRMS confirmed the presence of one imino group in both HLNL and HHMD, making them more susceptible to degrade at low pH. The structural changes in collagen due to extreme changes in the pH and chrome tanning were highlighted by the SANS contrast variation between isotopic labelled and unlabelled crosslinks. This provided a better understanding of the interaction of natural crosslinks with the chromium sulphate in collagen suggesting that the development of a benign crosslinking method can help retain the intrinsic physical properties of the leather. This analytical method can also be applied to study artificial crosslinking in other collagenous tissues for biomedical applications.Graphical abstract

Abstract
Within the dental alveolar socket, the sequence of events following tooth extraction involves deposition of a provisional connective tissue matrix that is later replaced by woven bone and eventually by lamellar bone. Bone regeneration within the dental alveolar socket is unique since the space occupied by the root(s) of a tooth does not originally contain any bone. However, extracellular matrix composition of the healing alveolar socket has not previously been investigated. Here, alveolar bone biopsies representing early (7-46 months, < 4y) and late (48-60 months; 4-5y) healing periods were investigated using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray micro-computed tomography and backscattered electron scanning electron microscopy. Partially or completely edentulous individuals and those with a smoking habit were not excluded. Between < 4y and 4-5y, mineral crystallinity and bone mineral density increase, phenylalanine, proline/hydroxyproline, and bone surface-to-volume ratio decrease, while the carbonate-to-phosphate ratio, the mineral-to-matrix ratio, and the collagen crosslink ratio remain relatively unchanged. Observed exclusively at 4-5y, hypermineralised osteocyte lacunae contain spherical and rhomboidal mineral nodules. Spearman correlation analysis reveals several significant, high (ρ = 0.7-0.9; p ≤ 0.01) and moderate (ρ = 0.5-0.7; p ≤ 0.01) correlations. Mineral crystallinity and proline/hydroxyproline, the carbonate-to-phosphate ratio and phenylalanine, mineral crystallinity and bone surface-to-volume ratio, the carbonate-to-phosphate ratio and bone surface-to-volume ratio, proline/hydroxyproline and bone mineral density, and bone mineral density and bone surface-to-volume ratio are negatively correlated. Mineral crystallinity and bone mineral density, and proline/hydroxyproline and bone surface-to-volume ratio are positively correlated. Although bone regeneration in the dental alveolar socket follows typical bone healing patterns, the compositional and microstructural patterns reveal mature bone at <4y with indications of better mechanical competence at 4-5y.

Organic matrix quality discriminates between age- and BMD-matched fracturing versus non-fracturing post-menopausal women: A pilot study. Bone 2019; 127:207-214. [PMID: 31229674 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2019] [Revised: 06/16/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Women with similar areal Bone Mineral Densities (BMD) may show divergent fracture incidence due to differences in bone quality. The hypothesis tested in the present pilot study is that postmenopausal (PM) women who have sustained osteoporotic fractures have altered organic matrix quality compared to those who have not. We used Raman microspectroscopy to analyze transiliac biopsies collected from fracturing (n = 6, mean age 62.5 ± 7.4 yrs; Cases) and non-fracturing PM women (n = 6, age- and BMD-matched; mean age 62.2 ± 7.3 yrs; Controls). Previous results show differences in intrinsic material properties by nanoindentation that are more homogenously distributed and could facilitate microcrack propagation in Cases, along with lower mineral carbonate/phosphate ratio by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging, and no differences in bone tissue mineralization by digitized microradiography. No differences between groups were seen by conventional histomorphometry. Spectra were acquired 2 μm away from previously performed nanoindents, in cortical and cancellous compartments. The determined parameters were: mineral to matrix ratio (MM), and nanoporosity (a surrogate for tissue water (TW)), glycosaminoglycan (GAG), pyridinoline (Pyd; trivalent enzymatic collagen cross-link), N(6)-carboxymethyllysine (CML; advanced glycation endproduct), and pentosidine (PEN; advanced glycation endproduct) content. ANCOVA indicated no differences in any of the spectroscopic outcomes between cancellous and cortical compartments. On the other hand, Cases had lower nanoporosity (TW) and GAG, and elevated Pyd, and CML content compared to Controls. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate significant differences in organic matrix quality in PM women that sustain fragility fractures versus age- and BMD-matched controls, highlighting its importance as a potential independent determinant of fracture incidence.

Lysyl oxidases: from enzyme activity to extracellular matrix cross-links. Essays Biochem 2019; 63:349-364.

Abstract
AbstractThe lysyl oxidase family comprises five members in mammals, lysyl oxidase (LOX) and four lysyl oxidase like proteins (LOXL1-4). They are copper amine oxidases with a highly conserved catalytic domain, a lysine tyrosylquinone cofactor, and a conserved copper-binding site. They catalyze the first step of the covalent cross-linking of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins collagens and elastin, which contribute to ECM stiffness and mechanical properties. The role of LOX and LOXL2 in fibrosis, tumorigenesis, and metastasis, including changes in their expression level and their regulation of cell signaling pathways, have been extensively reviewed, and both enzymes have been identified as therapeutic targets. We review here the molecular features and three-dimensional structure/models of LOX and LOXLs, their role in ECM cross-linking, and the regulation of their cross-linking activity by ECM proteins, proteoglycans, and by inhibitors. We also make an overview of the major ECM cross-links, because they are the ultimate molecular readouts of LOX/LOXL activity in tissues. The recent 3D model of LOX, which recapitulates its known structural and biochemical features, will be useful to decipher the molecular mechanisms of LOX interaction with its various substrates, and to design substrate-specific inhibitors, which are potential antifibrotic and antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Muscle from mantle, fins and arms of squid (Dosidicus gigas) were compared based on lysyl oxidase activity (LOX), chemical/structural and thermodynamic properties of highly cross-linked collagen. The arms collagen presented the highest temperature (Tp) and enthalpy of transition. The arms collagen thermic properties may be explained by the higher imino amino acid content, proline and lysine hydroxylation degrees. Moreover, among the regions, the collagen from the arms had a more intense β band chain, hydroxymerodesmosine peak in the resonance magnetic nuclear spectra and pyridinoline peak in the Raman spectra. Fins showed the highest LOX activity. The LOX activity was associated with the Tp, proline and lysine hydroxylation degrees. These results implied that the collagen in the arms was more intermolecularly ordered than the mantle and fins, and may provide a theoretical basis for a better understanding of the thermal behaviour of squid tissues during management and processing.

Abstract
The present study investigates Raman scattering of human bone irradiated with 50 Gy single dose during therapeutic treatment of Ewing and Osteosarcoma. Bone quality was evaluated via mineral-to-matrix ratio, degree of crystallinity, change in amount of calcium, and carbonate substitution. Alteration in collagen and its cross-links was quantified through second-derivative deconvolution of Amide I peak. A dose of 50 Gy radiation leads to almost 50% loss of mineral content, while maintaining mineral crystallinity, and small changes in carbonate substitution. Deconvolution of Amide I suggested modifications in collagen structure via increase in amount of enzymatic trivalent cross-linking (p < 0.05). Overall irradiation led to detrimental effect on bone quality via changes in its composition, consequently reducing its elastic modulus with increased plasticity. The study thus quantifies effect of single-dose 50 Gy radiation on human bone, which in turn is necessary for designing improved radiation dosage during ECRT and for better understanding post-operative care.

Abstract
Establishing a non-destructive method for spatially assessing advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) is a potentially useful step toward investigating the mechanistic role of AGEs in bone quality. To test the hypothesis that the shape of the amide I in the Raman spectroscopy (RS) analysis of bone matrix changes upon AGE accumulation, we incubated paired cadaveric cortical bone in ribose or glucose solutions and in control solutions for 4 and 16 weeks, respectively, at 37°C. Acquiring 10 spectra per bone with a 20X objective and a 830 nm laser, RS was sensitive to AGE accumulation (confirmed by biochemical measurements of pentosidine and fluorescent AGEs). Hyp/Pro ratio increased upon glycation using either 0.1 M ribose, 0.5 M ribose or 0.5 M glucose. Glycation also decreased the amide I sub-peak ratios (cm-1 ) 1668/1638 and 1668/1610 when directly calculated using either second derivative spectrum or local maxima of difference spectrum, though the processing method (eg, averaged spectrum vs individual spectra) to minimize noise influenced detection of differences for the ribose-incubated bones. Glycation however did not affect these sub-peak ratios including the matrix maturity ratio (1668/1690) when calculated using indirect sub-band fitting. The amide I sub-peak ratios likely reflected changes in the collagen I structure.

Abstract
Although musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoporosis are diagnosed and treatment outcome is evaluated based mainly on routine clinical outcomes of bone mineral density (BMD) by DXA and biochemical markers, it is recognized that these two indicators, as valuable as they have proven to be in the everyday clinical practice, do not fully account for manifested bone strength. Thus, the term bone quality was introduced, to complement considerations based on bone turnover rates and BMD. Bone quality is an "umbrella" term that incorporates the structural and material/compositional characteristics of bone tissue. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIRM) and imaging (FTIRI), and Raman spectroscopy, are suitable analytical tools for the determination of bone quality as they provide simultaneous, quantitative, and qualitative information on all main bone tissue components (mineral, organic matrix, tissue water), in a spatially resolved manner. Moreover, the results of such analyses may be readily combined with the outcomes of other techniques such as histology/histomorphometry, small angle X-ray scattering, quantitative backscattered electron imaging, and nanoindentation.
