Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating and complicated disease with an unclear etiology. Femoral head-preserving surgeries have been devoted to delaying and hindering the collapse of the femoral head since their introduction in the last century. However, the isolated femoral head-preserving surgeries cannot prevent the natural progression of ONFH, and the combination of autogenous or allogeneic bone grafting often leads to many undesired complications. To tackle this dilemma, bone tissue engineering has been widely developed to compensate for the deficiencies of these surgeries. During the last decades, great progress has been made in ingenious bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. Herein, we comprehensively summarize the state-of-the-art progress made in bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment. The definition, classification, etiology, diagnosis, and current treatments of ONFH are first described. Then, the recent progress in the development of various bone-repairing biomaterials, including bioceramics, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and metals, for treating ONFH is presented. Thereafter, regenerative therapies for ONFH treatment are also discussed. Finally, we give some personal insights on the current challenges of these therapeutic strategies in the clinic and the future development of bone tissue engineering for ONFH treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bisphosphonates like alendronate mainly exert their effects on osteoclasts. However, osteoblasts are also affected, but exposed to a much lower concentration in vivo than the osteoclasts. Given that the effects are dose-dependent, the intention of the study was to identify a therapeutically relevant concentration of alendronate for in vitro studies on osteoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary human osteoblasts were incubated with alendronate (5, 20 and 100 µM) for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. Proliferation and viability were assessed, and the effects on cellular growth and function were evaluated by multianalyte profiling of selected proteins in cell culture media using the Luminex 200TM. RESULTS The viability was not affected by any of the dosages. Exposure to 5 µM alendronate had a neutral effect on osteoblast proliferation, and on secretion of osteogenic and inflammatory markers, while enhancing synthesis of a marker of angiogenesis. 20 µM alendronate induced a decline in proliferation and affected angiogenic and osteogenic biomarkers adversely. 100 µM alendronate reduced proliferation dramatically, and this dosage was excluded from further experiments. CONCLUSION A concentration of 5 µM alendronate exerted effects on human osteoblasts that may translate to those observed in vivo and could therefore be relevant for in vitro studies.

Biofabrication of allogenic bone grafts using cellularized amniotic scaffolds for application in efficient bone healing. Tissue Cell 2021; 73:101631. [PMID: 34461569 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2021.101631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The reconstruction/regeneration of human bone injuries/defects represents a crucial challenge due to the lack of suitable bio/immune compatible and implantable biological grafts. The available strategies represent implications of several types of grafting materials in the form of metals, synthetic, and various kinds of biological scaffolds; however, the lack of appropriate biological components required for activating and enhancing repair mechanisms at the lesion-site limits their wider applicability. METHODS In this study, a unique approach for generating human osteogenic implantable grafts was developed using biofabrication technology. Using a gradient change of detergents and continuous agitation, developed a unique technique to generate completely cell-free amnion and chorion scaffolds. The absence of cellular components and integrity of biological and mechanical cues within decellularized human amnion (D-HAM) and chorion (D-HCM) were evaluated and compared with fresh membranes. Allogenic bone grafts were prepared through induction of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into osteogenic cells on D-HAM and D-HCM and evaluated for their comparative behavior at the cellular, histological and molecular levels. RESULTS The common decellularization process resulted in an efficient way to generate D-HAM and D-HCM while retaining their intact gross-anatomical architecture, surface morphology, extracellular matrix components, and mechanical properties. Both these scaffolds supported better growth of human umbilical cord blood derived MSCs as well as osteogenic differentiation. Comparative investigation revealed better growth rate and differentiation on D-HCM compared to D-HAM and control conditions. CONCLUSION D-HCM could be used as a better choice for producing suitable allogenic bone grafts for efficient bone healing applications.

Staphylococcus aureus Internalization in Osteoblast Cells: Mechanisms, Interactions and Biochemical Processes. What Did We Learn from Experimental Models? Pathogens 2021; 10:pathogens10020239.

Abstract
Bacterial internalization is a strategy that non-intracellular microorganisms use to escape the host immune system and survive inside the human body. Among bacterial species, Staphylococcus aureus showed the ability to interact with and infect osteoblasts, causing osteomyelitis as well as bone and joint infection, while also becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic therapy and a reservoir of bacteria that can make the infection difficult to cure. Despite being a serious issue in orthopedic surgery, little is known about the mechanisms that allow bacteria to enter and survive inside the osteoblasts, due to the lack of consistent experimental models. In this review, we describe the current knowledge about S. aureus internalization mechanisms and various aspects of the interaction between bacteria and osteoblasts (e.g., best experimental conditions, bacteria-induced damages and immune system response), focusing on studies performed using the MG-63 osteoblastic cell line, the best traditional (2D) model for the study of this phenomenon to date. At the same time, as it has been widely demonstrated that 2D culture systems are not completely indicative of the dynamic environment in vivo, and more recent 3D models—representative of bone infection—have also been investigated.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel multi-phosphonate (MP) coating strategy of dental implant surfaces on the expression of osteogenesis-related factors in vitro. MG-63 human osteoblast-like cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) were cultured separately on titanium disks with and without MP coating. Cell attachment was visualized by focal adhesion and actin cytoskeleton staining. The proliferation and gene expression of the markers related to osteogenesis and bone turnover were measured after 48 and 120 h of cell culture. Actin cytoskeleton assembly and focal adhesion were similar between test surfaces within each cell type but differed from those on tissue culture plastic (TCP). The proliferation of MG-63 cells and PDLSCs was comparable on all surfaces, while BM-MSCs showed an increase on tissue culture plastic (TCP) versus titanium. The gene expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand was higher in MG-63 cells grown on MP-coated surfaces. At the same time, osteocalcin was decreased compared to the other surfaces. Collagen type I gene expression after 120 h was significantly lower in hPDLSCs cultivated on MP-coated surfaces. Within the limitations of this study, MP coating on titanium surfaces might have a slight beneficial effect on bone turnover in vitro.

Abstract
Bone fractures are the most common traumatic injuries in humans. The repair of bone fractures is a regenerative process that recapitulates many of the biological events of embryonic skeletal development. Most of the time it leads to successful healing and the recovery of the damaged bone. Unfortunately, about 5-10% of fractures will lead to delayed healing or non-union, more so in the case of co-morbidities such as diabetes. In this article, we review the different strategies to heal bone defects using synthetic bone graft substitutes, biologically active substances and stem cells. The majority of currently available reviews focus on strategies that are still at the early stages of development and use mostly in vitro experiments with cell lines or stem cells. Here, we focus on what is already implemented in the clinics, what is currently in clinical trials, and what has been tested in animal models. Treatment approaches can be classified in three major categories: i) synthetic bone graft substitutes (BGS) whose architecture and surface can be optimized; ii) BGS combined with bioactive molecules such as growth factors, peptides or small molecules targeting bone precursor cells, bone formation and metabolism; iii) cell-based strategies with progenitor cells combined or not with active molecules that can be injected or seeded on BGS for improved delivery. We review the major types of adult stromal cells (bone marrow, adipose and periosteum derived) that have been used and compare their properties. Finally, we discuss the remaining challenges that need to be addressed to significantly improve the healing of bone defects.

Abstract
It is assumed that the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is decreased in bone tissue of aged individuals. However, detailed investigation of the molecular signature of human bone from young compared to aged individuals confirming this assumption is lacking. In this study, quantitative expression analysis of genes related to osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis of human cancellous bone derived from the distal radius of young and aged individuals was performed. Furthermore, we additionally performed immunohistochemical stainings. The young group included 24 individuals with an average age of 23.2 years, which was compared to cancellous bone derived from 11 body donators with an average age of 81.0 years. In cancellous bone of young individuals, the osteogenesis-related genes RUNX-2, OSTERIX, OSTEOPONTIN and OSTEOCALCIN were significantly up-regulated compared to aged individuals. In addition, RANKL and NFATc1, both markers for osteoclastogenesis, were significantly induced in cancellous bone of young individuals, as well as the WNT gene family member WNT5a and the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-9. However, quantitative RT-PCR analysis of BMP-2, ALP, FGF-2, CYCLIN-D1, MMP-13, RANK, OSTEOPROTEGERIN and TGFb1 revealed no significant difference. Furthermore, Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was performed which indicated an increased osteoclast activity in cancellous bone of young individuals. In addition, pentachrome stainings revealed significantly less mineralized bone matrix, more osteoid and an increased bone density in young individuals. In summary, markers related to osteogenesis as well as osteoclastogenesis were significantly decreased in the aged individuals. Thus, the present data extends the knowledge about reduced bone regeneration and healing capacity observed in aged individuals.

Abstract
This review describes the role of bone cells and their surrounding matrix in maintaining bone strength through the process of bone remodeling. Subsequently, this work focusses on how bone formation is guided by mechanical forces and fluid shear stress in particular. It has been demonstrated that mechanical stimulation is an important regulator of bone metabolism. Shear stress generated by interstitial fluid flow in the lacunar-canalicular network influences maintenance and healing of bone tissue. Fluid flow is primarily caused by compressive loading of bone as a result of physical activity. Changes in loading, e.g., due to extended periods of bed rest or microgravity in space are associated with altered bone remodeling and formation in vivo. In vitro, it has been reported that bone cells respond to fluid shear stress by releasing osteogenic signaling factors, such as nitric oxide, and prostaglandins. This work focusses on the application of in vitro models to study the effects of fluid flow on bone cell signaling, collagen deposition, and matrix mineralization. Particular attention is given to in vitro set-ups, which allow long-term cell culture and the application of low fluid shear stress. In addition, this review explores what mechanisms influence the orientation of collagen fibers, which determine the anisotropic properties of bone. A better understanding of these mechanisms could facilitate the design of improved tissue-engineered bone implants or more effective bone disease models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Titanium surface roughness is recognized as an important parameter influencing osseointegration. However, studies concerning the effect of well-defined surface topographies of titanium surfaces on osteoblasts have been limited in scope. In the present study we have investigated how Ti surfaces of different micrometer-scale roughness influence proliferation, migration, and differentiation of osteoblasts in-vitro. METHODS Titanium replicas with surface roughnesses (Ra) of approximately 0, 1, 2, and 4μm were produced and MG-63 osteoblasts were cultured on these surfaces for up to 5 days. The effect of surface micrometer-scale roughness on proliferation, migration in time-lapse microscopy experiments, as well as the expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, vascular-endothelial growth factor (VEGF), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) were investigated. RESULTS Proliferation of MG-63 cells was found to decrease gradually with increasing surface roughness. However, the highest expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and VEGF was observed on surfaces with Ra values of approximately 1 and 2μm. Further increase in surface roughness resulted in decreased expression of all investigated parameters. The cell migration speed measured in time-lapse microscopy experiments was significantly lower on surfaces with a Ra value of about 4μm, compared to those with lower roughness. No significant effect of surface roughness on the expression of OPG and RANKL was observed. SIGNIFICANCE Thus, surfaces with intermediate Ra roughness values of 1-2μm seem to be optimal for osteoblast differentiation. Neither proliferation nor differentiation of osteoblasts appears to be supported by surfaces with higher or lower Ra values.

Abstract
The development of cell based advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs) for bone repair has been expected to revolutionize the health care system for the clinical treatment of bone defects. Despite this great promise, the clinical outcomes of the few cell based ATMPs that have been translated into clinical treatments have been far from impressive. In part, the clinical outcomes have been hampered because of the simplicity of the first wave of products. In response the field has set-out and amassed a plethora of complexities to alleviate the simplicity induced limitations. Many of these potential second wave products have remained "stuck" in the development pipeline. This is due to a number of reasons including the lack of a regulatory framework that has been evolving in the last years and the shortage of enabling technologies for industrial manufacturing to deal with these novel complexities. In this review, we reflect on the current ATMPs and give special attention to novel approaches that are able to provide complexity to ATMPs in a straightforward manner. Moreover, we discuss the potential tools able to produce or predict 'goldilocks' ATMPs, which are neither too simple nor too complex.

Abstract
In the present study we coated Ti surfaces with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and titanium nitride (TiN) and investigated in vitro the behavior of osteoblasts on these surfaces. MG-63 osteoblasts were cultured on titanium discs with different surface treatment: uncoated Ti6Al4V, TiN-coated, PTFE-coated. Cell viability/proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Gene-expression levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), type I collagen, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa-B ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were determined by qPCR. Cell behavior on different surfaces was observed by time-lapse microscopy. Cells grown on PTFE-coated Ti surface exhibited delayed surface attachment and decreased proliferation after 48 h. However, after 168 h of culture cells grown on PTFE-coated surface exhibited higher viability/proliferation, higher expression levels of ALP and OC, and higher OPG/RANKL ratio compared to uncoated surface. No effect of TiN-coating on any investigated parameter was found. Our results shows that PTFE coating exhibits no toxic effect on MG-63 cells and slightly stimulates expression of several genes associated with osteogenesis. We propose that PTFE coating could be considered as a possible choice for a surface treatment of temporary skeletal anchorage devices in orthodontics.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC) is a non-collagenous, vitamin K-dependent protein secreted in the late stage of osteoblasts differentiation. The presence of the three residues of γ-carbossiglutamatic acid, specific of the active form of OC protein, allows the protein to bind calcium and consequently hydroxyapatite. The osteoblastic OC protein is encoded by the bone γ-carbossiglutamate gene whose transcription is principally regulated by the Runx2/Cbfa1 regulatory element and stimulated by vitamin D(3) through a steroid-responsive enhancer sequence. Even if data obtained in literature are controversial, the dual role of OC in bone can be presumed as follows: firstly, OC acts as a regulator of bone mineralization; secondly, OC regulates osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Recently the metabolic activity of OC, restricted to the un-carboxylated form has been demonstrated in osteoblast-specific knockout mice. This effect is mediated by the regulation of pancreatic β-cell proliferation and insulin secretion and adiponectin production by adipose tissue and leads to the regulation of glucose metabolism and fat mass. Nevertheless, clinical human studies only demonstrated the correlation between OC levels and factors related to energy metabolism. Thus further investigations in humans are required to demonstrate the role of OC in the regulation of human energy metabolism. Moreover, it is presumable that OC also acts on blood vessels by inducing angiogenesis and pathological mineralization. This review highlights the recent studies concerning skeletal and extra-skeletal effects of OC.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density and/or poor bone microarchitecture leading to an increased risk of fractures. The skeletal alterations in osteoporosis are a consequence of a relative deficit of bone formation compared to bone resorption. Osteoporosis therapies have mostly relied on antiresorptive drugs. An alternative therapeutic approach for osteoporosis is currently available, based on the intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Bone anabolism caused by PTH therapy is mainly accounted for by the ability of PTH to increase osteoblastogenesis and osteoblast survival. PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP)-an abundant local factor in bone- interact with the common PTH type 1 receptor with similar affinities in osteoblasts. Studies mainly in osteoporosis rodent models and limited data in postmenopausal women suggest that N-terminal PTHrP peptides might be considered a promising bone anabolic therapy. In addition, putative osteogenic actions of PTHrP might be ascribed not only to its N-terminal domain but also to its PTH-unrelated C-terminal region. In this review, we discuss the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of the anabolic actions of PTH and the similar potential of PTH-related protein (PTHrP) to increase bone mass and improve bone regeneration.

Abstract
Deterioration of organ and systems function are the principal signs of aging. Aging is also believed to be a major factor in the loss of bone mass and quality, which in turn leads to an increase in the risk of fractures. Several factors seem to contribute to this scenario, with metabolic changes related to aging in the bone tissue itself being among them. Most of the current knowledge on the mechanisms associated with osteopenia/osteoporosis during aging has been generated from research in animal models (mainly rats and mice) and cell cultures derived from subjects of different ages. In this work, we have reviewed and summarised these studies, which have begun to establish the physiological and molecular basis of the bone alterations related to aging.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of major clinical interest for the development of cell-based strategies to treat musculoskeletal diseases including critical-size bone defects caused by trauma, degenerative disorders, or infections. Elderly people mainly suffer from critical-size bone defects from the rising incidence of trauma, osteoporosis, and arthroplasties. In this study we investigated the influence of donor age on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in long-term ex vivo cultures of primary human MSCs from patients in different age groups. Fifteen patients (8 men/7 women) comprised three age groups: (I) <50 years, (II) 50-65 years, and (III) >65 years. MSCs harvested from bone marrow derived from routine surgical procedures were isolated and cultured in standard medium over eight passages. Osteogenic differentiation was induced by dexamethasone (10 nM), ascorbic acid (300 μM), and β-glycerophosphate (3.5 mM). Osteogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs was quantified by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of the surface markers CD9, CD90, CD54, CD166, CD105, CD44, and CD73, and RT-PCR for Coll I and II, Cbfa 1, ALP, OC, BSP1, and GAPDH genes characterized the phenotypic changes during monolayer expansion. In vitro chondrogenic differentiation was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Progenitor cells could be expanded in the long term from all bone marrow donations. FACS single staining analysis from MSCs showed no significant difference between the age groups. The surface antigen CD166 was predominantly found in all cell cultures independently of differentiation stage. Comparison of expanded and differentiated MSCs within a single age group showed that undifferentiated MSCs had higher CD44 levels. Osteogenic stimulation of MSCs was confirmed by measuring ALP activity. The highest ALP activity was found in probands of the age group >65 years. Additionally, we observed a tendency toward male-specific ALP increase during differentiation. Osteogenic marker gene expression in MSCs was detected by RT-PCR. No significant expression differences were detected between the three donor age groups. Micromass culture of MSCs resulted histologically and immunohistologically in a chondrogenic phenotype. Elderly osteoprogenitor cell donors are a highly clinically relevant patient population. In summary, cultivation leads to a reduced osteogenic differentiation capacity regardless of age. Because donor age does not affect osteogenic differentiation potential, it should not be used as an exclusion criterion for autologous transplantation of human adult MSCs.

Abstract
The interaction of osteoblasts and endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in osteogenesis. This interaction has been extensively studied using their direct co-culture in vitro. However, co-culture experiments require clear discrimination between the two different cell types in the mixture, but this was rarely achieved. This study is the first to use fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for the separation and quantitative analysis of the proliferation and differentiation of MG-63 cells grown in direct co-culture with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The cells of the MG-63 cell line have properties consistent with the characteristics of normal osteoblasts. We labeled HUVECs with fluorescent antibody against CD31 and used FACS to measure the proportions of each cell type and to separate them based on their different fluorescence intensities. The rate of proliferation of the MG-63 cells was estimated based on a count of the total viable cells and the proportion of MG-63 cells in the mixture. The mRNA expression levels of the osteoblast differentiation markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type 1 (Coll-1) and osteocalcin (OC) in the MG-63 cells were measured via real-time PCR after the separation via FACS. We found that HUVECs stimulated the proliferation of the MG-63 cells after 72 h of co-culture, and inhibited it after 120 h of co-culture. The mRNA expression levels of ALP and Coll-1 significantly increased, whereas that of OC significantly decreased in MG-63 after co-culture with HUVECs. Using FACS for the quantitative analysis of the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts directly interacting with endothelial cells could have merit for further co-culture research.

Abstract
Knowledge of the basic mechanisms controlling osteogenesis and adipogenesis might provide new insights into the prevention of osteoporosis and age-related osteopenia. With the help of magnetic cell sorting and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), osteoblastic subpopulations of mesenchymal progenitor cells were characterized. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) negative cells expressed low levels of osteoblastic and adipocytic markers. AP positive cells expressed adipocytic markers more strongly than the AP negative cell populations, thus suggesting that committed osteoblasts exhibit a greater adipogenic potential. AP negative cells differentiated to the mature osteoblastic phenotype, as demonstrated by increased AP-activity and osteocalcin secretion under standard osteogenic culture conditions. Surprisingly, this was accompanied by increased expression of adipocytic gene markers such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2, lipoprotein lipase and fatty acid binding protein. The induction of adipogenic markers was suppressed by transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and promoted by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). Osteogenic culture conditions including BMP-2 induced both the formation of mineralized nodules and cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles. Upon immunogold electron microscopic analysis, osteoblastic and adipogenic marker proteins were detectable in the same cell. Our results suggest that osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in human mesenchymal progenitor cells might not be exclusively reciprocal, but rather, a parallel event until late during osteoblast development.

Abstract
Collagen is used as a scaffold material for tissue engineering as well as a coating material for implants with a view to enhancing osseointegration by mimicry of the bone extracellular matrix in vivo. The biomimicry strategy can be taken further by incorporating the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) decorin and biglycan, which are expressed in bone. Both bind to fibrils during fibrillogenesis in vitro. In this study, the ability of collagen types I, II, and III to bind decorin and biglycan was compared. Collagen type II bound significantly more SLRPs in fibrils than collagen I and III, with more biglycan than decorin bound by all three collagen types. Therefore, type II fibrils with bound decorin or biglycan or neither were used to coat titanium surfaces. Bioavailability of SLRPs was confirmed by direct ELISA after SLRP biotinilation. The in vitro behavior of osteoblasts from rat calvaria (rOs) and human knee (hOs) cultured on different surfaces was compared. Proliferation and collagen synthesis were determined. Also, the influence of SLRPs on the formation of focal adhesions by rO was investigated. Biglycan enhanced the formation of focal adhesions after 2 and 24 h. Decorin and biglycan affected rO and hO proliferation and collagen synthesis differently. Biglycan stimulated hO proliferation significantly but had no effect on rO proliferation, and also inhibited rO collagen synthesis significantly while not affecting hO collagen synthesis. Decorin promoted hO proliferation slightly but did not influence rO proliferation. The results could be relevant when designing implant coatings or tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and the associated risk of fracture are major clinical challenges in the elderly. Telomeres shorten with age in most human tissues, including bone, and because telomere shortening is a cause of cellular replicative senescence or apoptosis in cultured cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts, it is hypothesized that telomere shortening contributes to the aging of bone. Osteoporosis is common in the Werner (Wrn) and dyskeratosis congenita premature aging syndromes, which are characterized by telomere dysfunction. One of the targets of the Wrn helicase is telomeric DNA, but the long telomeres and abundant telomerase in mice minimize the need for Wrn at telomeres, and thus Wrn knockout mice are relatively healthy. In a model of accelerated aging that combines the Wrn mutation with the shortened telomeres of telomerase (Terc) knockout mice, synthetic defects in proliferative tissues result. Here, we demonstrate that deficiencies in Wrn-/- Terc-/- mutant mice cause a low bone mass phenotype, and that age-related osteoporosis is the result of impaired osteoblast differentiation in the context of intact osteoclast differentiation. Further, MSCs from single and Wrn-/- Terc-/- double mutant mice have a reduced in vitro lifespan and display impaired osteogenic potential concomitant with characteristics of premature senescence. These data provide evidence that replicative aging of osteoblast precursors is an important mechanism of senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Adult bone tissue is continuously being remodelled and bone mass is maintained by a balance between osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. Alteration of osteoblastic cell proliferation may account in part for lack of balance between these two processes in bone loss of osteoporosis. There is calcium (Ca2+) control in numerous cellular functions; however, involvement of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) in proliferation of bone cells is less well investigated. OBJECTIVES The study described here was aimed to investigate roles of CCE in the proliferation of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pharmacological characterizations of CCE were undertaken in parallel, with evaluation of the expression of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels and of cell proliferation. RESULTS Intracellular Ca2+ store depletion by thapsigargin induced CCE in MG-63 cells; this was characterized by a rapid transient increase of intracellular Ca2+ followed by significant CCE, induced by conditions that stimulated cell proliferation, namely serum and platelet-derived growth factor. Inhibitors of store-operated Ca2+ channels (2-APB and SKF-96365) prevented CCE, while voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blockers had no effect. Expression of various TRPC channels was shown in the cells, some having been shown to be responsible for CCE. Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blockers had no effect on osteoblast proliferation while thapsigargin, 2-APB and SKF-96395, inhibited it. Cell cycle analysis showed that 2-APB and SKF-96395 lengthen the S and G2/M phases, which would account for the reduction in cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that CCE, likely attributed to the activation of TRPCs, might be the main route for Ca2+ influx involved in osteoblast proliferation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone tissue in the adult is continuously being remodelled, and overall bone mass is maintained constant by the balance between osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. Adequate osteoblastic proliferation is essential for both appropriate formation and for regulation of resorption, and thereby the maintenance of bone remodelling equilibrium. OBJECTIVES Here, we have investigated the roles of melastatin-like transient receptor potential 6 and 7 (TRPM6, TRPM7), which are calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) conducting channels, during proliferation of human osteoblasts. RESULTS Genetic expression of TRPM6 and TRPM7 was shown in human osteoblast-like MG-63, SaOS and U2-OS cells, and reduction of extracellular Mg2+ or Ca2+ led to a decrease of cell proliferation. Concomitant reduction of both ions further accentuated reduction of cell proliferation. Expression of TRPM7 channels was increased under conditions of reduced extracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ levels whereas expression of TRPM6 was not modified, suggesting compensatory mechanisms afforded by TRPM7 in order to maintain intracellular ion homeostasis. Pre-incubation of cells in reduced extracellular Mg2+ conditions led to activation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ influx. Reduction of TRPM7 expression by specific siRNA prevented latter influx and inhibited cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that extracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ deficiency reduces the proliferation of human osteoblastic cells. Expression and activity of TRPM7 is modulated by extracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ availability, indicating that TRPM7 channels are involved in intracellular ion homeostasis and proliferation of osteoblasts.

Abstract
In most mesenchymal tissues a subcompartment of multipotent progenitor cells is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the tissue following trauma. With increasing age, the ability of tissues to repair themselves is diminished, which may be due to reduced functional capacity of the progenitor cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aging on rat mesenchymal progenitor cells. Mesenchymal progenitor cells were isolated from Wistar rats aged 3, 7, 12 and 56 weeks. Viability, capacity for differentiation and cellular aging were examined. Cells from the oldest group accumulated raised levels of oxidized proteins and lipids and showed decreased levels of antioxidative enzyme activity. This was reflected in decreased fibroblast colony-forming unit (CFU-f) numbers, increased levels of apoptosis and reduced proliferation and potential for differentiation. These data suggest that the reduced ability to maintain mesenchymal tissue homeostasis in aged mammals is not purely due to a decline in progenitor cells numbers but also to a loss of progenitor functionality due to the accumulation of oxidative damage, which may in turn be a causative factor in a number of age-related pathologies such as arthritis, tendinosis and osteoporosis.

Abstract
PGE(2) is an important mediator of bone metabolism, but the precise localization of its receptors in human bone remains unknown. The present study used specific antibodies against EP(1), EP(2), EP(3) and EP(4) receptors for immunolocalization in normal, osteoporotic and pagetic human adult bone and in human foetal bone. No labelling was obtained for the EP(1) and EP(2) receptors. The EP(3) receptor was detected in foetal osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes, but only in osteoclasts and some osteoblasts from adult bone. The EP(4) receptor was detected in foetal osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes and in adult osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but not in adult osteocytes. Our results show differences in PGE(2) receptor expression in foetal and adult human bone but no difference in adult normal compared to pathologic bone. Finally, these results show that the distribution of EP receptors in human osteoblasts in bone corresponds in part to what we recently described in human osteoblasts in culture.

Abstract
Alterations in osteoblast metabolism are involved in the pathogenesis of typical subchondral bone changes in osteoarthritis (OA). Osteocalcin is a specific bone protein, synthesised by the osteoblasts, which can be considered a marker of metabolic activity of these cells. In this study we correlated osteocalcin production from human osteoblasts isolated from healthy and osteoarthritic subjects to the degree of cartilage damage, before and after stimulation with 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3, the active metabolite of vitamin D3. We isolated human osteoblasts from cancellous bone of healthy subjects and from subchondral bone of osteoarthritic subjects and considered the osteoblasts corresponding to different degrees of cartilage damage as different cell populations. We determined the osteocalcin production in normal and osteoarthritic osteoblasts from maximal and minimal cartilage damage areas both under basal conditions and after vitamin D3 stimulation. Compared to normal osteoblasts, under basal conditions osteocalcin production is significantly greater in osteoarthritic osteoblasts, corresponding both to maximal and minimal damage joint areas. No differences were observed between osteoblasts from maximal and minimal damage areas. The response of osteoblasts to vitamin D3 stimulation appeared to be proportional to the degree of joint damage, as the vitamin D3-induced increase in osteocalcin is proportionally greater in maximally damaged osteoblasts compared to minimally damaged ones. Thus, after vitamin D3 stimulation, a significant increase in osteocalcin production by maximally damaged osteoblasts compared to the minimally damaged ones was observed. This study confirms abnormal osteoarthritic osteoblast behaviour and indicates that osteoblasts from different areas of the same affected joint may be metabolically different, supporting the hypothesis that subchondral osteoblasts may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
This study was aimed to characterize the ability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to differentiate into osteoblasts in vitro. Twenty-three women and 20 men at late adulthood (52-92 years of age) were selected for the study. MSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, secretion of amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), type III procollagen (PIIINP) and osteocalcin were analyzed. Matrix mineralization was analyzed by the von Kossa staining and by calcium quantification. We found that the ALP and PINP levels compared with control increased to 2.8- and 2.9-fold, respectively, when cells were cultured for three weeks. ALP activity, PINP and calcium deposition in response to dexamethasone treatment increased by age in women and was unchanged in men. Overall our data suggests that the osteogenic potential of MSCs does not decrease by age in either women or men at late adulthood.

Abstract
The risk of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis increases substantially with age but there is considerable individual variation. In recent studies we have shown that the effects of glucocorticoids on bone are dependent on autocrine actions of the enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1); expression of 11beta-HSD1 in osteoblasts (OBs) facilitates local synthesis of active glucocorticoids with consequent effects on osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation. Using primary cultures of human OBs, we have now characterized the age-specific variation in osteoblastic 11beta-HSD1 and defined enzyme kinetics and regulation using natural and therapeutic glucocorticoids. 11beta-HSD1 reductase activity (cortisone to cortisol conversion) was recognized in all OB cultures and correlated positively with age (r = 0.58 with all cultures, p < 0.01, and n = 18; r = 0.87 with calcaneal-derived cultures, p < 0.001, and n = 14). Glucocorticoid treatment caused a time- and dose-dependent increase in 11beta-HSD1 activity over control (e.g., dexamethasone [DEX; 1 microM], 2.6-fold +/- 0.5 (mean +/- SE), p < 0.001, and n = 16; cortisol (100 nM), 1.7-fold +/- 0.1, p < 0.05, and n = 14). Similar increases in 11beta-HSD1 mRNA expression were indicated using real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses (3.5-fold with DEX, p < 0.01; 2.5-fold with cortisol, p < 0.05). The capacity of 11beta-HSD1 to metabolize the synthetic glucocorticoids prednisone and prednisolone was investigated in human OBs (hOBs) and fetal kidney-293 cells stably transfected with human 11beta-HSD1 cDNA. Transfected cells and hOBs were able to interconvert prednisone and prednisolone with reaction kinetics indistinguishable from those for cortisone and cortisol. To assess the in vivo availability of substrates for osteoblastic 11beta-HSD1, plasma cortisone and prednisone levels were measured in normal males before and after oral prednisolone (5 mg). The 9:00 a.m. serum cortisone levels were 110 +/- 5 nmol/liter and prednisone levels peaked at 78 +/- 23 nmol/liter 120 minutes after administration of prednisolone. Thus, therapeutic use of steroids increases substrate availability for 11beta-HSD1 in bone. These studies indicate that activation of glucocorticoids at an autocrine level within bone is likely to play an important role in the age-related decrease in bone formation and increased risk of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
The effect of two biomaterials, polyethylene and alpha-alumina, on interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion and expression has been studied in human osteoblasts in primary culture. Human osteoblastic cells were derived from fresh trabecular bone explants removed during total knee arthroplasty. On reaching confluence, cells were subcultured in 6 well plates; the resulting subcultures were incubated until confluence and polyethylene or alpha-alumina particles were added to some while the rest were left as controls. The IL-6 mRNA levels were assessed by reverse transcription (RT) followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). IL-6 secretion was measured in the conditioned medium. The IL-6 expression was higher in the presence of both biomaterials. Maximum expression occurred in response to a dose of 50 mg particles well with both biomaterials and was greater after polyethylene particle addition than after alpha-alumina particle addition at this dose. The maximum IL-6 secretion elicited by alpha-alumina was produced at 10 mg particles well while maximum response with polyethylene required 50 mg well. At a dose of 10 mg/well, alpha-alumina particles induced more secretion than 10 mg of polyethylene particles. Nevertheless, at a dose of 50 mg/well maximum secretion was produced with polyethylene particles. In conclusion and in our experimental conditions, polyethylene as well as alpha-alumina increased both the expression and the secretion of IL-6 in human osteoblastic cells in primary culture and stimulation from polyethylene appears stronger than that from alpha-alumina at the same dose.

Abstract
Age-related osteopenia is known to occur differently throughout the skeleton. In the present study, we examine the influence of donor age (<50 and >50 years), and bone structure (cortical vs. trabecular) on osteocalcin and vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in primary cultures of human osteoblastic cells (hOB) cells. Cells were isolated from trabecular bone samples obtained from donors undergoing either knee (mainly trabecular) (n = 22; 4 <50 years, 18 >50 years) or hip (mainly cortical) (n = 16; 6 <50 years, 10 >50 years) arthroplasty. Pooling the results from knee and hip hOB cell cultures, we found that secreted osteocalcin was higher in hOB cells from the younger donors, compared with that in older donors, and peaked after stimulation with 10(-6)--10(-8) mol/L 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)]. In cells from the latter donors, this secretion was maximal after 10(-6) mol/L 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. On the other hand, using reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction, baseline osteocalcin mRNA was found to be lower in hOB cells from the older donors than in those from younger donors. After treatment with 10(-6)--10(-8) mol/L 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), osteocalcin mRNA increased over baseline in all groups of hOB cells studied. In age-matched cultures, both basal and 10(-6)--10(-8) mol/L 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated osteocalcin mRNA showed similar values in hOB cells from both skeletal sites in younger donors. However, in the older donors, baseline as well as 10(-8) mol/L 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated osteocalcin mRNA were higher in knee hOB cells than in hip hOB cells. Furthermore, baseline VDR mRNA expression was also higher in the former cells than in the latter cells in the older group. Considering the influence of donor age at each skeletal site of origin, we found lower baseline osteocalcin and VDR mRNA levels in hip hOB cells in the older group than in the younger group. Our findings indicate that the response of osteocalcin secretion and its mRNA to physiological doses of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) decreases with aging and is associated with decreased VDR mRNA expression in hOB cells from mainly cortical bone.

Abstract
The influence of two different sizes of polyethylene particles (< 30 and 20-200 microm) on osteoblastic function has been studied in primary human bone cell cultures. Cells were obtained from trabecular bone fragments of patients undergoing knee reconstructive surgery. On reaching confluency, cells were subcultured in three flasks: < 30 microm polyethylene particles were added to the first flask, 20-200 microm particles to the second flask and none to the third flask, which was the control. The resulting subcultures were incubated until confluence. Osteoblastic function was evaluated by assaying the secretion of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and C-terminal type I procollagen (PICP), with or without 1.25(OH)2D3 stimulation in the cell-conditioned medium. Adding < 30 microm polyethylene particles to these osteoblastic cell cultures increased the levels of osteocalcin secreted after 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulation. Treating stimulated or basal osteoblastic cultures with either polyethylene particle size did not affect alkaline phosphatase secretion. However, the addition of <30 microm polyethylene particles decreased PICP levels in the basal and stimulated cultures. A parallel series of osteoblastic cultures was treated with < 30 microm polyethylene particles and stimulated or not with 1,25(OH)2D3 to determine the effect on osteocalcin mRNA expression using RT-PCR amplification. Polyethylene particle-treated cultures had higher osteocalcin mRNA expression regardless of whether they had been stimulated with 1,25(OH)2D3 or not. We conclude that particle size affects the influence of polyethylene on osteoblastic function markers. Particles with a diameter of less than 30 microm increase osteocalcin expression and secretion.

Abstract
The factors contributing to renal osteodystrophy are still incompletely characterized. A variety of cytokines and growth factors appear to have ill-defined roles in this disease. Our aim is to compare osteoblastic cell growth and different osteoblastic markers in vitro with histomorphometric bone parameters and some serum bone-turnover markers in vivo in dialysis patients with either high- (HTBD) or low-turnover (LTBD) bone disease. Six patients were diagnosed to have LTBD, and another five patients, HTBD. Intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and osteocalcin (OC) levels in serum were greater in patients with HTBD than in those with LTBD. Osteoblastic cells isolated from iliac crest biopsy specimens were grown in culture medium for different times up to 13 days. Osteoblastic cell growth (cell number and area under the cell growth curve) was greater in patients with HTBD than in those with LTBD. Static and dynamic bone formation parameters correlated with serum PTH levels. No correlation was found between PTH and osteoblastic cell proliferation. OC, C-terminal type I procollagen, and alkaline phosphatase osteoblastic secretion in vitro were similar in the HTBD and LTBD groups. However, interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion was greater in cells isolated from patients with LTBD. Our results indicate that osteoblastic cell growth and osteoblastic IL-6 secretion are related to bone turnover in patients with osteodystrophy. Our findings support the hypothesis that factors other than PTH level might have an important role in affecting osteoblastic function in renal osteodystrophy.

Abstract
One of the problems associated with the modern biomaterials used in prostheses is osteolysis, which, although its exact origin is unknown, has been associated with wear particles. Osteoblasts seem to participate directly in this phenomenon. This paper investigates in vitro cellular response to the wear particles from the metal substrate and ceramic covering (alpha-alumina) of a new titanium yttrium aluminum alloy, MA 956, that has been proposed as a biomaterial because of its exceptional mechanical and electrochemical properties. The effect of different sizes (10 and 80 microm) of MA 956 and alpha-alumina particles on osteoblast function was studied in primary human bone cell cultures. Cells were harvested from trabecular bone fragments obtained during knee arthroplasty. Osteoblastic cell response to the particles was measured by assaying C-terminal type I procollagen (PICP), alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin secretion, with and without 1.25(OH)(2)D(3) stimulation, in the cell-conditioned medium. Both sizes of MA 956 and alpha-alumina particles decreased PICP secretion in nonstimulated osteoblastic cells, but this secretion was not affected in the cultures stimulated with 1.25(OH)(2)D(3). Only the 10 microm alpha-alumina particles inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity in 1.25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated and nonstimulated cultures. The rise in osteocalcin levels after 1.25(OH)(2)D(3) stimulation was lower in the presence of the 10 microm MA 956 particles than in the presence of alpha-alumina particles. Although both materials seem to have directly affected in vitro osteoblastic cell function, the increase in osteocalcin levels after 1.25(OH)(2)D(3) stimulation was lower after exposure to MA 956 particles than the increase observed after exposure to alpha-alumina particles. Therefore, it does not seem that osteocalcin stimulated bone resorption, suggesting that MA 956 would be less likely to provoke osteolysis.
