Abstract
Insufficient calcium intake during growth is a global public health concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary menaquinone-7 (MK-7) on bone accrual in growing Sprague-Dawley rats under calcium restriction. Following 13 weeks of treatment, various bone quality parameters, including microarchitecture, were measured. Fecal and cecal samples were subjected to microbiome (16S rRNA gene sequencing) analyses, while metabolomics analysis of the cecum and humerus samples was analyzed based on UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS. We found that calcium deficiency diminished the richness of the microbiome and disrupted microbiome composition, accompanied by an elevation in the relative abundance of Parasutterella. Furthermore, calcium insufficiency escalated the level of isovaleric acid and modified the metabolic profiles. MK-7 supplementation significantly increased the cortical thickness, cortical bone area, and the calcium content of the femur. Apart from improving bone calcium deposition and diminishing bone resorption, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of MK on bone quality also involve the modulation of the host's metabolic pathways and the composition of gut microbiota. The gut-bone axis holds promise as an efficacious target for ameliorating calcium deficiency in children's bone quality, and MK-7 is a promising dietary supplement from this perspective.

Abstract
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3)-mediated intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption supplies Ca for proper bone mineralization during growth. We tested whether vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated 1,25(OH)2D3 signaling is critical for adult Ca absorption and bone by using mice with inducible Vdr gene knockout in the whole intestine (villin-CreERT2+/- × Vdrf/f, WIK) or in the large intestine (Cdx2-CreERT2+/- ×Vdrf/f, LIK). At 4-month-old, Vdr alleles were recombined (0.05 mg tamoxifen/g BW, intraperitoneally [i.p.], 5 days) and mice were fed diets with either 0.5% (adequate) or 0.2% (low) Ca. Ca absorption was examined after 2 weeks while serum 1,25(OH)2D3, bone mass, and bone microarchitecture were examined after 16 weeks. Intestinal and renal gene expression was measured at both time points (n = 12/genotype/diet/time point). On the 0.5% Ca diet, all phenotypes in WIK and LIK mice were similar to the controls. Control mice adapted to the 0.2% low-Ca diet by increasing renal Cyp27b1 mRNA (3-fold), serum 1,25(OH)2D3 level (1.9-fold), and Ca absorption in the duodenum (Dd, + 131%) and proximal colon (PCo, + 28.9%), which prevented bone loss. In WIK mice, low-Ca diet increased serum 1,25(OH)2D3 (4.4-fold) but Ca absorption remained unaltered in the Dd and PCo. Consequently, significant bone loss occurred in WIK mice (e.g., cortical thickness, Ct.Th, -33.7%). LIK mice adapted to the low-Ca diet in the Dd but not the PCo, and the effect on bone phenotypes was milder (e.g., Ct.Th, -13.1%). Our data suggest intestinal VDR in adult mice prevents bone loss under low Ca intake but is dispensable under adequate calcium intake.

Abstract
Studies of radiobiological effects in murine rodents exposed to internal radiation in the wild or in laboratory experiments require dosimetric support. The main problem of bone marrow (BM) dosimetry for bone-seeking β-emitters is dosimetric modeling, because the bone is a heterogeneous structure with complex microarchitecture. To date, there are several approaches to calculating the absorbed dose in BM, which mostly use rough geometric approximations. Recently, in the framework of studies of people exposed to 90Sr in the Urals, a new approach (SPSD) has been developed. The aim of the current study was to test for the first time the possibility of extension of the SPSD approach elaborated for humans to mice. For this, computational phantoms of femur bones of laboratory animals (C57BL/6, C57BL/6 J, BALB/c, BALB/cJ) aged 5-8 weeks (growing) and > 8 weeks (adults) were created. The dose factors DFSr-90(BM ← TBV + CBV) to convert the Sr isotope activity concentration in a bone tissue into units of dose rate absorbed in the bone marrow were 1.75 ± 0.42 and 2.57 ± 0.93 μGy day-1 per Bq g-1 for growing and adult animals, respectively, while corresponding values for DFSr-89(BM ← TBV + CBV) were 1.08 ± 0.27 and 1.66 ± 0.67 μGy day-1 per Bq g-1, respectively. These results are about 2.5 times lower than skeleton-average DFs calculated assuming homogenous bone, where source and target coincide. The results of the present study demonstrate the possibility of application of the SPSD approach elaborated for humans to non-human mammals. It is concluded that the study demonstrates the feasibility and appropriateness of application of the SPSD approach elaborated for humans to non-human mammals. This approach opens up new prospects for studying the radiobiological consequences of red bone marrow exposure for both laboratory and wildlife mammals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteoblastic differentiation is a promising therapeutic strategy for osteoporosis (OP). The present study demonstrates that miR- 483-5p inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Therefore, selectively delivering the nanoparticles carrying antagomir-483-5p (miR-483-5p inhibitor) to BMSCs is expected to become an effective treatment drug for OP. METHODS Real-time PCR assays were used to analyze miR-483-5p, ALP and Bglap levels in BMSCs of ovariectomized and aged osteoporotic mice. Immunoglobulin G and poloxamer-188 encapsulated the functional small molecules, and a BMSC-targeting aptamer was employed to confirm the direction of the nanoparticles to selectively and efficiently deliver antagomir-483-5p to BMSCs in vivo. Luciferase assays were used to determine the target genes of miR-483-5p. Western blot assays and immunohistochemistry staining were used to detect the targets in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS miR-483-5p levels were increased in BMSCs of ovariectomized and aged osteoporotic mice. Inhibiting miR-483-5p levels in BMSCs by antagomir-483-5p in vitro promoted the expression of bone formation markers, such as ALP and Bglap. The FAM-BMSC-aptamer-nanoparticles carrying antagomir- 483-5p were taken up by BMSCs, resulting in stimulation of BMSC osteoblastic differentiation in vitro and osteoporosis prevention in vivo. Furthermore, our research demonstrated that mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) and SMAD family member 5 (Smad5) were direct targets of miR-483-5p in regulating BMSC osteoblastic differentiation and osteoporosis pathological processes. CONCLUSIONS The important therapeutic role of FAM-BMSC-aptamer-nanoparticles carrying antagomir- 483-5p in osteoporosis was established in our study. These nanoparticles are a novel candidate for the clinical prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The optimized, targeted drug delivery platform for small molecules will provide new ideas for treating clinical diseases.

Abstract
The present paper reviews published literature on the relationship between dietary protein and bone health. It will include arguments both for and against the anabolic and catabolic effects of dietary protein on bone health. Adequate protein intake provides the amino acids used in building and maintaining bone tissue, as well as stimulating the action of insulin-like growth factor 1, which in turn promotes bone growth and increases calcium absorption. However, the metabolism of dietary sulphur amino acids, mainly from animal protein, can lead to increased physiological acidity, which may be detrimental for bone health in the long term. Similarly, cereal foods contain dietary phytate, which in turn contains phosphate. It is known that phosphate consumption can also lead to increased physiological acidity. Therefore, cereal products may produce as much acid as do animal proteins that contain sulphur amino acids. The overall effect of dietary protein on physiological acidity, and its consequent impact on bone health, is extremely complex and somewhat controversial. The consensus is now moving towards a synthesised approach. Particularly, how anabolic and catabolic mechanisms interact; as well as how the context of the whole diet and the type of protein consumed is important.
