PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 201:105847. [PMID: 38685209 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Thiram, a widely used organic pesticide in agriculture, exhibits both bactericidal and insecticidal effects. However, prolonged exposure to thiram has been linked to bone deformities and cartilage damage, contributing to the development of tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) in broilers and posing a significant threat to global agricultural production. TD, a prevalent nutritional metabolic disease, manifests as clinical symptoms like unstable standing, claudication, and sluggish movement in affected broilers. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the regulatory role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in tibial cartilage formation among broilers through diverse signaling pathways. This study employs in vitro experimental models, growth performance analysis, and clinical observation to assess broilers' susceptibility to thiram pollution. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed a significant elevation in the expression of lncRNA MSTRG.74.1 in both the con group and the thiram-induced in vitro group. The results showed that lncRNA MSTRG.74.1 plays a pivotal role in influencing the proliferation and abnormal differentiation of chondrocytes. This regulation occurs through the negative modulation of apoptotic genes, including Bax, Cytc, Bcl2, Apaf1, and Caspase3, along with genes Atg5, Beclin1, LC3b, and protein p62. Moreover, the overexpression of lncRNA MSTRG.74.1 was found to regulate broiler chondrocyte development by upregulating BNIP3. In summary, this research sheds light on thiram-induced abnormal chondrocyte proliferation in TD broilers, emphasizing the significant regulatory role of the lncRNA MSTRG.74.1-BNIP3 axis, which will contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying TD development in broilers exposed to thiram.

Reducing relapse and accelerating osteogenesis in rapid maxillary expansion using an injectable mesoporous bioactive glass/fibrin glue composite hydrogel. Bioact Mater 2022; 18:507-525. [PMID: 35415307 PMCID: PMC8976096 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Rapid maxillary expansion (RME), as a common treatment for craniomaxillofacial deformity, faces the challenge of high relapse rates and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. In this study, a standardized Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat RME model was first established with a modified expander as well as retainer design and optimized anterior maxillary expanding force of 100 g which exerted the most synchronized mobility of mid-palatal suture and incisors. Via the standardized model, the high relapse rate was proven to be attributed to insufficient osteogenesis in expanded suture, requiring long-term retainer wearing in clinical situations. To reduce the relapse rate, mesoporous bioactive glass/fibrin glue (MBG/FG) composite hydrogels were developed for an in situ minimal invasive injection that enhance osteogenesis in the expanded palate. The component of 1 wt% MBG was adopted for enhanced mechanical strength, matched degradation rate and ion dissolution, excellent in vitro biocompatibility and osteoinductivity. Effects of 1%MBG/FG composite hydrogel on osteogenesis in expanded mid-palatal sutures with/without retention were evaluated in the standardized model. The results demonstrated that injection of 1%MBG/FG composite hydrogel significantly promoted bone formation within the expanded mid-palatal suture, inhibited osteoclastogenesis and benefited the balance of bone remodeling towards osteogenesis. Combination of retainer and injectable biomaterial was demonstrated as a promising treatment to reduce relapse rate and enhance osteogenesis after RME. The model establishment and the composite hydrogel development in this article might provide new insight to other craniomaxillofacial deformity treatment and design of bone-repairing biomaterials with higher regenerative efficiency. A standardized rat RME model was established with optimized parameters. Sufficient osteogenesis was the prerequisite of reducing relapse ratio. Design of an injectable MBG/FG composite hydrogel for osteogenic enhancement. Combinatory treatment of injection and retention was developed for relapse reduction.

High doses of zoledronic acid induce differential effects on femur and jawbone microstructure. Clin Exp Dent Res 2022; 8:1487-1495. [PMID: 35933703 PMCID: PMC9760133 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term effects on jaw and femur bone induced by oncologic doses of zoledronic acid in a young rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six 12-week-old male Wistar rats received zoledronic acid (0.6 mg/kg) and six control rats received saline solution in the same volume. Compounds were administered intraperitoneally in five doses every 28 days. Euthanasia was performed 150 days after therapy onset. After animal sacrifice, their mandibles and femurs were scanned ex vivo using a high-resolution (14 μm) micro-computed tomography. Morphometric bone parameters were calculated using CT-Analyzer (Bruker, Belgium) between the first and second mandibular molars and in the distal femur metaphysis and epiphysis. RESULTS The treatment group as compared to the controls showed a significantly (p < .05) increased bone quantity (↑BV/TV, ↓Po[Tot], ↑Tb.Th), bone density (↑TMD, ↑BMD), and osteosclerosis of the trabecular bone (↓Tb.Sp, ↓Conn.Dn, ↓Tb.Pf, ↓SMI) in all anatomical sites. Bone remodeling suppression due to zoledronic acid treatment was more pronounced (p < .05) in the femoral metaphysis relative to the mandible and epiphysis. The exploratory linear discriminant analysis showed that for the mandible, it was mainly the bone quantity-related morphometric indices (BV/TV and Tb.Th), while for the femoral epiphysis and metaphysis, it was bone structure-related (Tb.Pf and Tb.N), which are of primary importance to study the treatment effect. CONCLUSION High doses of bisphosphonates can differently affect the bone quantity, density, and structure in long bones and jawbones. In the metaphysis, bone changes were primarily concentrated in the region of the growth plate. Future studies may consider the use of bone morphometric indices to evaluate the effect of bisphosphonates.

Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis after bisphosphonate therapy discontinuation: an in vitro approach. J Mol Histol 2022; 53:669-677.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are specialized cells that degrade and resorb bone. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are drugs with well-known capacity to inhibit the resorption of mineralized tissues. Nitrogen-containing BPs, like alendronate (ALN) and zoledronic acid (ZA), inactivate osteoclast activity mostly by alterations on the cytoskeleton architecture of the cell. In this study, we used an in vitro model to test the hypothesis that bisphosphonates may have inhibitory effects on the osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast activity after the therapy was discontinued. Primary osteoclasts were generated from mouse bone marrow in media supplemented with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and cultivated over bones pre-treated with ALN and ZA. The pre-saturation of the bone slices with bisphosphonates did not affect cell viability. We found, however, that by disrupting the gene expression of RANKL and OPG the osteoclastogenesis and resorption activity of osteoclasts was significantly disturbed. These inhibitory effects were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy resorption assay, assessment of osteoclast ultrastructure, and by gene expression analysis of TRAP and Cathepsin K. In conclusion, ALN and ZA adhered to the bone matrix reduced the osteoclast activity in vitro.

Abstract
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a significant factor in cartilage development, yet the molecular mechanism for cell volume expand during the process is remains unclear. In the present study, the relationship between Swell1, a cell volume regulated anion channel, and chondrocyte hypertrophy was explored. The results reveal that the spatiotemporal expression of Swell1 was similar with the development process of hypertrophic chondrocytes in condyles. Through Col10a1 mediated knock out of Swell1 in hypertrophy chondrocytes, we found that there are less obvious boundary between different condylar cartilage layers in which increased hypertrophic chondrocytes were scattered in all three cartilage layers. The cortical bone mass and bone mineral density in the subchondral bone significantly increased. Additionally, knock out of Swell1 could increase the expression of OCN in the femur condyle. Based on the aforementioned findings, a conclusion could be drawn that Swell1 is a significant factor in chondrocyte hypertrophy during the condylar osteochondral development process, and there was some difference between the mandibular and femur condyles, which will provide some new clues for understanding the development of cartilage and related diseases.

DANCR Mediates the Rescuing Effects of Sesamin on Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Treatment via Orchestrating Osteogenesis and Osteoclastogenesis. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124455.

Abstract
As one of the leading causes of bone fracture in postmenopausal women and in older men, osteoporosis worldwide is attracting more attention in recent decades. Osteoporosis is a common disease mainly resulting from an imbalance of bone formation and bone resorption. Pharmaceutically active compounds that both activate osteogenesis, while repressing osteoclastogenesis hold the potential of being therapeutic medications for osteoporosis treatment. In the present study, sesamin, a bioactive ingredient derived from the seed of Sesamum Indicum, was screened out from a bioactive compound library and shown to exhibit dual-regulating functions on these two processes. Sesamin was demonstrated to promote osteogenesis by upregulating Wnt/β-catenin, while repressing osteoclastogenesis via downregulating NF-κB signaling . Furthermore, DANCR was found to be the key regulator in sesamin-mediated bone formation and resorption . In an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporotic mouse model, sesamin could rescue OVX-induced bone loss and impairment. The increased serum level of DANCR caused by OVX was also downregulated upon sesamin treatment. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that sesamin plays a dual-functional role in both osteogenesis activation and osteoclastogenesis de-activation in a DANCR-dependent manner, suggesting that it may be a possible medication candidate for osteoporotic patients with elevated DNACR expression levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of bioactive glass and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in calvarial bone repair process in rats submitted to zoledronic acid therapy. METHODS Twenty-four rats were selected and treated with the dose of 0.035 mg/kg of zoledronic acid every two weeks, totalizing eight weeks, to induce osteonecrosis. After the drug therapy, surgical procedure was performed to create 5-mm diameter parietal bone defects in the calvarial region. The rats were then randomly assigned to groups according to the following treatments: AZC: control group, treated with blood clot; AZBIO: bone defect filled with bioactive glass; AZL: treated with blood clot and submitted to PBMT; and AZBIOL: treated with bioactive glass S53P4 and submitted to PBMT. Tissue samples were collected and submitted to histomorphometric analysis after 14 and 28 days. RESULTS At 14 days, bone neoformation in the AZBIO (52.15 ± 9.77) and AZBIOL (49.77 ± 13.58) groups presented higher values (p ≤ 0.001) compared to the AZC (23.35 ± 10.15) and AZL groups (23.32 ± 8.75). At 28 days, AZBIO (80.24 ± 5.41)still presented significant higher bone recovery values when compared to AZC (59.59 ± 16.92)and AZL (45.25 ± 5.41) groups (p = 0.048). In the 28-day period, the AZBIOL group didn't show statistically significant difference with the other groups (71.79 ± 29.38). CONCLUSIONS The bioactive glass is an effective protocol to stimulate bone neoformation in critical defects surgically created in rats with drug induced osteonecrosis, in the studied periods of 14 and 28 days.

Abstract
RATIONALE Greenstick fractures most commonly occur in the pediatric population, especially in those under 10 years of age. Greenstick fractures are "extremely" rare in adults. This report presents the case of a greenstick fracture of the ulnar shaft in an adult following physical therapy for a radial neck fracture and ulnar shaft fracture post-internal fixation. Greenstick fracture can occur during physical therapy near the drill holes created during surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS A 23-year-old man without any past medical history had sustained a greenstick fracture of the ulnar shaft after rehabilitation for a left radial and ulnar fracture that had been previously treated with internal fixation. DIAGNOSES Five months after removal of the implants, the patient complained of left elbow tenderness and a "breaking" sound that occurred during physical therapy. The results of a subsequent X-ray revealed a greenstick fracture of the left ulnar shaft. INTERVENTIONS Splinting of the fracture. OUTCOMES After 2 months of splint fixation, the pain and range of motion in the affected arm were improved, and sequential X-rays showed callus formation and increased density of the ulnar shaft. LESSONS Greenstick fractures occur not only in children but also in adults in specific circumstances. The cortex of long bones may be further weakened by drill holes created during surgery, and fractures may occur during physical therapy. During treatment, physicians, and therapists should pay more attention to the patient who has undergone implant removal to avoid greenstick fractures, especially in the locations near drill holes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the inhibitory effects of zoledronate (ZOL) on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into osteoblasts for repairing jaw necrosis. METHODS ADSCs were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts. The differentiation characteristics of osteoblasts was observed under inverted microscope by alizarin red staining. The transwell assay was performed to evaluate the migration of ADSCs co-cultured with osteoblasts and divided into ZOL group treated with ZOL and N-ZOL group without ZOL treatment. The differentiation and proliferation characteristics of ADSCs differentiated osteoblasts were observed respectively. The expression of CTSK (Cathepsin K) and FGFR3 (Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) in osteoblasts were analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot. RESULTS The differentiation degree and proliferation of ADSCs to osteoblasts in N-ZOL group were both higher than those in ZOL group. The migratory cell number in ADSCs differentiation in ZOL group was higher than that of N-ZOL group. The protein expression of CTSK and FGFR3 in ADSCs differentiated to osteoblasts in ZOL group was higher than that in N-ZOL group. CONCLUSION The differentiation of ADSCs into osteoblasts is significantly inhibited by ZOL. Due to this reason, it may be difficult to achieve good results by ZOL induced ADSCs into osteoblasts in repairing jaw necrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the mandible and tibia of rats treated with bisphosphonates (BPs) by imaging and histomorphometric analysis. STUDY DESIGN Thirty-four rat specimens (Rattus norvegicus, Wistar strain) were distributed into 3 groups: (1) 12 rats treated with zoledronic acid; (2) 12 rats treated with clodronate; and (3) the control group, containing 10 rats that received saline. All bones were exposed to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The images were analyzed to determine bone density (BD), using the software OsiriX 7.0. Histological slides were prepared from the specimens and the proportion of bone volume (BV) was quantified using the software Adobe Photoshop CC. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in BD either between the drug groups or between mandible and tibia. BV between BPs and control group did not show a significant difference. However, comparing the two bones, the mandibles in the control group displayed higher BV than did the tibiae in the same group. CONCLUSION According to our results, we conclude that (1) BD was not altered by bone type or by type of BP administered, and (2) treatment with zoledronic acid or clodronate did not affect BV in the mandible or tibia of test groups.
