Mizoguchi T. In vivo dynamics of hard tissue-forming cell origins: Insights from Cre/loxP-based cell lineage tracing studies. JAPANESE DENTAL SCIENCE REVIEW 2024; 60:109-119. [PMID: 38406212 PMCID: PMC10885318 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdsr.2024.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone tissue provides structural support for our bodies, with the inner bone marrow (BM) acting as a hematopoietic organ. Within the BM tissue, two types of stem cells play crucial roles: mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (or skeletal stem cells) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These stem cells are intricately connected, where BM-MSCs give rise to bone-forming osteoblasts and serve as essential components in the BM microenvironment for sustaining HSCs. Despite the mid-20th century proposal of BM-MSCs, their in vivo identification remained elusive owing to a lack of tools for analyzing stemness, specifically self-renewal and multipotency. To address this challenge, Cre/loxP-based cell lineage tracing analyses are being employed. This technology facilitated the in vivo labeling of specific cells, enabling the tracking of their lineage, determining their stemness, and providing a deeper understanding of the in vivo dynamics governing stem cell populations responsible for maintaining hard tissues. This review delves into cell lineage tracing studies conducted using commonly employed genetically modified mice expressing Cre under the influence of LepR, Gli1, and Axin2 genes. These studies focus on research fields spanning long bones and oral/maxillofacial hard tissues, offering insights into the in vivo dynamics of stem cell populations crucial for hard tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH) administration on pathological new bone formation during treatment of ankylosing spondylitis-related osteoporosis. METHODS Animal models with pathological bone formation caused by hypothetical AS pathogenesis received treatment with iPTH. We determined the effects of iPTH on bone loss and the formation of pathological new bone with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological examination. In addition, the tamoxifen-inducible conditional knockout mice (CAGGCre-ERTM; PTHflox/flox, PTH-/-) was established to delete PTH and investigate the effect of endogenous PTH on pathological new bone formation. RESULTS iPTH treatment significantly improved trabecular bone mass in the modified collagen-induced arthritis (m-CIA) model and unbalanced mechanical loading models. Meanwhile, iPTH treatment did not enhance pathological new bone formation in all types of animal models. Endogenous PTH deficiency had no effects on pathological new bone formation in unbalanced mechanical loading models. CONCLUSION Experimental animal models of AS treated with iPTH show improvement in trabecular bone density, but not entheseal pathological bone formation,indicating it may be a potential treatment for inflammatory bone loss does in AS.

A Multifunctional Therapeutic Strategy Using P7C3 as A Countermeasure Against Bone Loss and Fragility in An Ovariectomized Rat Model of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2308698.

Abstract
By 2060, an estimated one in four Americans will be elderly. Consequently, the prevalence of osteoporosis and fragility fractures will also increase. Presently, no available intervention definitively prevents or manages osteoporosis. This study explores whether Pool 7 Compound 3 (P7C3) reduces progressive bone loss and fragility following the onset of ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis. Results confirm OVX-induced weakened, osteoporotic bone together with a significant gain in adipogenic body weight. Treatment with P7C3 significantly reduced osteoclastic activity, bone marrow adiposity, whole-body weight gain, and preserved bone area, architecture, and mechanical strength. Analyses reveal significantly upregulated platelet derived growth factor-BB and leukemia inhibitory factor, with downregulation of interleukin-1 R6, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK). Together, proteomic data suggest the targeting of several key regulators of inflammation, bone, and adipose turnover, via transforming growth factor-beta/SMAD, and Wingless-related integration site/be-catenin signaling pathways. To the best of the knowledge, this is first evidence of an intervention that drives against bone loss via RANK. Metatranscriptomic analyses of the gut microbiota show P7C3 increased Porphyromonadaceae bacterium, Candidatus Melainabacteria, and Ruminococcaceae bacterium abundance, potentially contributing to the favorable inflammatory, and adipo-osteogenic metabolic regulation observed. The results reveal an undiscovered, and multifunctional therapeutic strategy to prevent the pathological progression of OVX-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Although parathyroid hormone (PTH) is best known for its role as a regulator of skeletal remodelling and calcium homeostasis, more recent evidence supports a role for it in energy metabolism and other non-classical targets. In this report, we summarize evidence for an effect of PTH on adipocytes. This review is based upon all peer-reviewed papers, published in the English language with PubMed as the primary search engine. Recent preclinical studies have documented an effect of PTH to stimulate lipolysis in both adipocytes and liver cells and to cause browning of adipocytes. PTH also reduces bone marrow adiposity and hepatic steatosis. Although clinical studies are limited, disease models of PTH excess and PTH deficiency lend support to these preclinical findings. This review supports the concept of PTH as a polyfunctional hormone that influences energy metabolism as well as bone metabolism.

Abstract
Bone secretory proteins, termed osteokines, regulate bone metabolism and whole-body homeostasis. However, fundamental questions as to what the bona fide osteokines and their cellular sources are and how they are regulated remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed bone and extraskeletal tissues, osteoblast (OB) conditioned media, bone marrow supernatant (BMS), and serum, for basal osteokines and those responsive to aging and mechanical loading/unloading. We identified 375 candidate osteokines and their changes in response to aging and mechanical dynamics by integrating data from RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and proteomic approaches. Furthermore, we analyzed their cellular sources in the bone and inter-organ communication facilitated by them (bone-brain, liver, and aorta). Notably, we discovered that senescent OBs secrete fatty-acid-binding protein 3 to propagate senescence toward vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Taken together, we identified previously unknown candidate osteokines and established a dynamic regulatory network among them, thus providing valuable resources to further investigate their systemic roles.

Abstract
Excessive bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) accumulation often occurs under diverse pathophysiological conditions associated with bone deterioration. Estrogen-related receptor α (ESRRA) is a key regulator responding to metabolic stress. Here, we show that adipocyte-specific ESRRA deficiency preserves osteogenesis and vascular formation in adipocyte-rich bone marrow upon estrogen deficiency or obesity. Mechanistically, adipocyte ESRRA interferes with E2/ESR1 signaling resulting in transcriptional repression of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1); yet positively modulates leptin expression by binding to its promoter. ESRRA abrogation results in enhanced SPP1 and decreased leptin secretion from both visceral adipocytes and BMAds, concertedly dictating bone marrow stromal stem cell fate commitment and restoring type H vessel formation, constituting a feed-forward loop for bone formation. Pharmacological inhibition of ESRRA protects obese mice against bone loss and high marrow adiposity. Thus, our findings highlight a therapeutic approach via targeting adipocyte ESRRA to preserve bone formation especially in detrimental adipocyte-rich bone milieu.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication that can occur following joint replacement surgery. Efficacious strategies to prevent and treat PJI and its recurrence remain elusive. Commensal bacteria within the gut convey beneficial effects through a defense strategy named "colonization resistance" thereby preventing pathogenic infection along the intestinal surface. This blueprint may be applicable to PJI. The aim is to investigate Lactobacillus acidophilus spp. and their isolated extracellular-derived proteins (LaEPs) on PJI-relevant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and Escherichia coli planktonic growth and biofilm formation in vitro. The effect of LaEPs on cultured macrophages and osteogenic, and adipogenic human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell differentiation is analyzed. Data show electrostatically-induced probiotic-pathogen species co-aggregation and pathogenic growth inhibition together with LaEP-induced biofilm prevention. LaEPs prime macrophages for enhanced microbial phagocytosis via cathepsin K, reduce lipopolysaccharide-induced DNA damage and receptor activator nuclear factor-kappa B ligand expression, and promote a reparative M2 macrophage morphology under chronic inflammatory conditions. LaEPs also significantly augment bone deposition while abating adipogenesis thus holding promise as a potential multimodal therapeutic strategy. Proteomic analyses highlight high abundance of lysyl endopeptidase, and urocanate reductase. Further, in vivo analyses are warranted to elucidate their role in the prevention and treatment of PJIs.

Abstract
Balance of bone and marrow fat formation is critical for bone homeostasis. The imbalance of bone homeostasis will cause various bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. However, the precise mechanisms governing osteoporotic bone loss and marrow adipose tissue (MAT) accumulation remain poorly understood. By analysis of publicly available databases from bone samples of osteoporosis patients, we found that the expression of intraflagellar transport 20 (IFT20) and WW domain containing transcription regulator 1 (WWTR1) were significantly downregulated in osteoblast lineage cells. Additionally, we found that double deletions of IFT20 and WWTR1 in osteoblasts resulted in a significant accumulation of MAT and bone loss. Moreover, IFT20 and WWTR1 deficiency in osteoblasts exacerbated bone-fat imbalance in ovariectomy (OVX)- and high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced osteoporosis mouse models. Mechanistically, we found that deletions of IFT20 and WWTR1 in osteoblasts synergistically inhibited osteogenesis and promoted adipogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. We also found that IFT20 interacted with TGF-β receptor type II (TβRII) to enhance TβRII stability by blocking c-Cbl-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of TβRII. WWTR1 transcriptionally upregulated TβRII expression by directly binding its promoter. These findings indicate that targeting IFT20/WWTR1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Skeletal muscles and bones are closely connected anatomically and functionally. Age-related degeneration in these tissues is associated with physical disability in the elderly and significantly impacts their quality of life. Understanding the mechanisms of age-related musculoskeletal tissue degeneration is crucial for identifying molecular targets for therapeutic interventions for skeletal muscle atrophy and osteoporosis. The Hippo pathway is a recently identified signaling pathway that plays critical roles in development, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. The Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are key downstream effectors of the mammalian Hippo signaling pathway. This review highlights the fundamental roles of YAP and TAZ in the homeostatic maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscles and bones. YAP/TAZ play a significant role in stem cell function by relaying various environmental signals to stem cells. Skeletal muscle atrophy and osteoporosis are related to stem cell dysfunction or senescence triggered by YAP/TAZ dysregulation resulting from reduced mechanosensing and mitochondrial function in stem cells. In contrast, the maintenance of YAP/TAZ activation can suppress stem cell senescence and tissue dysfunction and may be used as a basis for the development of potential therapeutic strategies. Thus, targeting YAP/TAZ holds significant therapeutic potential for alleviating age-related muscle and bone dysfunction and improving the quality of life in the elderly.

Abstract
The human skeleton is a metabolically active system that is constantly regenerating via the tightly regulated and highly coordinated processes of bone resorption and formation. Emerging evidence reveals fascinating new insights into the role of sphingolipids, including sphingomyelin, sphingosine, ceramide, and sphingosine-1-phosphate, in bone homeostasis. Sphingolipids are a major class of highly bioactive lipids able to activate distinct protein targets including, lipases, phosphatases, and kinases, thereby conferring distinct cellular functions beyond energy metabolism. Lipids are known to contribute to the progression of chronic inflammation, and notably, an increase in bone marrow adiposity parallel to elevated bone loss is observed in most pathological bone conditions, including aging, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteomyelitis. Of the numerous classes of lipids that form, sphingolipids are considered among the most deleterious. This review highlights the important primary role of sphingolipids in bone homeostasis and how dysregulation of these bioactive metabolites appears central to many chronic bone-related diseases. Further, their contribution to the invasion, virulence, and colonization of both viral and bacterial host cell infections is also discussed. Many unmet clinical needs remain, and data to date suggest the future use of sphingolipid-targeted therapy to regulate bone dysfunction due to a variety of diseases or infection are highly promising. However, deciphering the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of this diverse and extremely complex sphingolipidome, both in terms of bone health and disease, is considered the next frontier in the field.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a pivotal role in maintaining calcium homeostasis, largely by modulating bone remodeling processes. Its effects on bone are notably dependent on the duration and frequency of exposure. Specifically, PTH can initiate both bone formation and resorption, with the outcome being influenced by the manner of PTH administration: continuous or intermittent. In continuous administration, PTH tends to promote bone resorption, possibly by regulating certain genes within bone cells. Conversely, intermittent exposure generally favors bone formation, possibly through transient gene activation. PTH's role extends to various aspects of bone cell activity. It directly influences skeletal stem cells, osteoblastic lineage cells, osteocytes, and T cells, playing a critical role in bone generation. Simultaneously, it indirectly affects osteoclast precursor cells and osteoclasts, and has a direct impact on T cells, contributing to its role in bone resorption. Despite these insights, the intricate mechanisms through which PTH acts within the bone marrow niche are not entirely understood. This article reviews the dual roles of PTH-catabolic and anabolic-on bone cells, highlighting the cellular and molecular pathways involved in these processes. The complex interplay of these factors in bone remodeling underscores the need for further investigation to fully comprehend PTH's multifaceted influence on bone health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of ubiquitin-specific protease 42 (USP42) on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS A combination of experiments was carried out with genetic depletion of USP42 using a lentiviral strategy. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and quantification, alizarin red S (ARS) staining and quantification were used to determine the osteogenic differentiation ability of hASCs under osteogenic induction between the experimental group (knockdown group and overexpression group) and the control group. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of osteogenesis related genes in the experimental group and control group, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of osteogenesis related proteins in the experimental group and control group. Nude mice ectopic implantation experiment was used to evaluate the effect of USP42 on the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs in vivo. RESULTS The mRNA and protein expressions of USP42 in knockdown group were significantly lower than those in control group, and those in overexpression group were significantly higher than those in control group. After 7 days of osteogenic induction, the ALP activity in the knockdown group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and ALP activity in overexpression group was significantly lower than that in control group. After 14 days of osteogenic induction, ARS staining was significantly deeper in the knockdown group than in the control group, and significantly lighter in overexpression group than in the control group. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression levels of ALP, osterix (OSX) and collagen type Ⅰ (COLⅠ) in the knockdown group were significantly higher than those in the control group after 14 days of osteogenic induction, and those in overexpression group were significantly lower than those in control group. The results of Western blotting showed that the expression levels of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), OSX and COLⅠ in the knockout group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 14 days after osteogenic induction, while the expression levels of RUNX2, OSX and COLⅠ in the overexpression group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of subcutaneous grafts in nude mice showed that the percentage of osteoid area in the knockdown group was significantly higher than that in the control group. CONCLUSION Knockdown of USP42 can significantly promote the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs in vitro and in vivo, and overexpression of USP42 significantly inhibits in vivo osteogenic differentiation of hASCs, and USP42 can provide a potential therapeutic target for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The homeostasis of bone microenvironment is the foundation of bone health and comprises 2 concerted events: bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. In the early 21st century, leptin, an adipocytes-derived hormone, was found to affect bone homeostasis through hypothalamic relay and the sympathetic nervous system, involving neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. This discovery has provided a new perspective regarding the synergistic effects of endocrine and nervous systems on skeletal homeostasis. Since then, more studies have been conducted, gradually uncovering the complex neuroendocrine regulation underlying bone homeostasis. Intriguingly, bone is also considered as an endocrine organ that can produce regulatory factors that in turn exert effects on neuroendocrine activities. After decades of exploration into bone regulation mechanisms, separate bioactive factors have been extensively investigated, whereas few studies have systematically shown a global view of bone homeostasis regulation. Therefore, we summarized the previously studied regulatory patterns from the nervous system and endocrine system to bone. This review will provide readers with a panoramic view of the intimate relationship between the neuroendocrine system and bone, compensating for the current understanding of the regulation patterns of bone homeostasis, and probably developing new therapeutic strategies for its related disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is always seen in osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms and consequences of this phenomenon by establishing a mouse model of osteoporosis caused by ovariectomy (OVX)-mimicked estrogen deficiency. METHODS Micro-CT, osmium tetroxide staining, and histological analyses were performed to examine the changes in bone microstructure, BMAT and white adipose tissue (WAT) in OVX mice compared to sham mice. The osteogenesis and adipogenesis of primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) isolated from sham and OVX mice were compared in vitro. The molecular phenotypes of BMAT and WAT were determined and compared by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Bone marrow adipocyte-conditioned medium (BMA CM) was prepared from sham or OVX mice for coculture assays, and BMSCs or bone marrow monocytes/macrophages (BMMs) were isolated and subjected to osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, respectively. Cell staining and qPCR were used to assess the effects of BMAT on bone metabolism. RESULTS OVX-induced estrogen deficiency induced reductions in both cortical and trabecular bone mass along with an expansion of BMAT volume. At the cellular level, loss of estrogen inhibited BMSC osteogenesis and promoted BMSC adipogenesis, whereas addition of estradiol exerted the opposite effects. In response to estrogen deficiency, despite the common proinflammatory molecular phenotype observed in both fat depots, BMAT, unlike WAT, unexpectedly exhibited an increase in adipocyte differentiation and lipolytic activity as well as the maintenance of insulin sensitivity. Importantly, BMAT, but not WAT, presented increased mRNA levels of both BMP receptor inhibitors (Grem1, Chrdl1) and Rankl following OVX. In addition, treatment with BMA CM, especially from OVX mice, suppressed the osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs while favoring the osteoclast differentiation of BMMs. CONCLUSION Our study illustrates that OVX-induced estrogen deficiency results in bone loss and BMAT expansion by triggering imbalance between the osteogenesis and adipogenesis of BMSCs. Furthermore, expanded BMAT, unlike typical WAT, may negatively regulate bone homeostasis through paracrine inhibition of osteoblast-mediated bone formation and promotion of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.

Abstract
Severe osteoporosis is often treated with one of three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved osteoanabolics. These drugs act by (1) parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor stimulation using analogues to PTH (teriparatide) or PTH-related peptide (abaloparatide) or by (2) monoclonal antibody neutralization of sclerostin, an innate Wnt inhibitor (Scl-mAb, romosozumab-aqqg). The efficacies of both strategies wane over time. The transcription factor Nmp4 (Nuclear Matrix Protein 4) is expressed in all tissues yet mice lacking this gene are healthy and exhibit enhanced PTH-induced bone formation. Conditional deletion of Nmp4 in mesenchymal stem progenitor cells (MSPCs) phenocopies the elevated response to PTH in global Nmp4-/- mice. However, targeted deletion in later osteoblast stages does not replicate this response. In this study we queried whether loss of Nmp4 improves Scl-mAb potency. Experimental cohorts included global Nmp4-/- and Nmp4+/+ littermates and three conditional knockout models. Nmp4-floxed (Nmp4fl/fl) mice were crossed with mice harboring one of three Cre-drivers (i) Prx1Cre+ targeting MSPCs, (ii) BglapCre+ (mature osteocalcin-expressing osteoblasts), and (iii) Dmp1Cre+ (osteocytes). Female mice were treated with Scl-mAb or 0.9 % saline vehicle for 4 or 7 weeks from 10 weeks of age. Skeletal response was assessed using micro-computed tomography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bone histomorphometry, and serum analysis. Global Nmp4-/- mice exhibited enhanced Scl-mAb-induced increases in trabecular bone in the femur and spine and a heightened increase in whole body areal bone mineral density compared to global Nmp4+/+ controls. This improved Scl-mAb potency was primarily driven by enhanced increases in bone formation. Nmp4fl/fl;PrxCre+ mice showed an exaggerated Scl-mAb-induced increase in femoral bone but not in the spine since Prrx1 is not expressed in vertebra. The Nmp4fl/fl;BglapCre+ and Nmp4fl/fl;Dmp1Cre+ mice did not exhibit an improved Scl-mAb response. We conclude that Nmp4 expression in MSPCs interferes with the bone anabolic response to anti-sclerostin therapy.

Abstract
Osteocytes have recently been identified as a new regulator of bone remodeling, but the detailed mechanism of their differentiation from osteoblasts remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to identify cell cycle regulators involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts into osteocytes and determine their physiological significance. The study uses IDG-SW3 cells as a model for the differentiation from osteoblasts to osteocytes. Among the major cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), Cdk1 is most abundantly expressed in IDG-SW3 cells, and its expression is down-regulated during differentiation into osteocytes. Inhibition of CDK1 activity reduces IDG-SW3 cell proliferation and differentiation into osteocytes. Osteocyte and Osteoblast-specific Cdk1 knockout in mice (Dmp1-Cdk1KO ) results in trabecular bone loss. Pthlh expression increases during differentiation, but inhibiting CDK1 activity reduces Pthlh expression. Parathyroid hormone-related protein concentration is reduced in the bone marrow of Dmp1-Cdk1KO mice. Four weeks of Parathyroid hormone administration partially recovers the trabecular bone loss in Dmp1-Cdk1KO mice. These results demonstrate that Cdk1 plays an essential role in the differentiation from osteoblast to osteocyte and the acquisition and maintenance of bone mass. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of bone mass regulation and can help develop efficient therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
With the aging of the global population, the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases has been increasing, seriously affecting people's health. As people age, the microenvironment within skeleton favors bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, accompanied by bone marrow fat accumulation and multiple cellular senescence. Specifically, skeletal stem/stromal cells (SSCs) during aging tend to undergo adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis. Meanwhile, osteoblasts, as well as osteocytes, showed increased apoptosis, decreased quantity, and multiple functional limitations including impaired mechanical sensing, intercellular modulation, and exosome secretion. Also, the bone resorption function of macrophage-lineage cells (including osteoclasts and preosteoclasts) was significantly enhanced, as well as impaired vascularization and innervation. In this study, we systematically reviewed the effect of aging on bone and the within microenvironment (including skeletal cells as well as their intracellular structure variations, vascular structures, innervation, marrow fat distribution, and lymphatic system) caused by aging, and mechanisms of osteoimmune regulation of the bone environment in the aging state, and the causal relationship with multiple musculoskeletal diseases in addition with their potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) makes up a significant portion of the marrow space, ranging from 50% to 70%, in healthy adults. It expands with aging, obesity, anorexia nervosa, and irradiation, which are conditions associated with skeletal complications or hematopoietic disorders. Therefore, BMAT has been viewed as a negative component of the bone marrow niche for decades, although the mechanisms and causative relationships have not been well-addressed. Of note, recent studies have revealed that BMAT is a multifaceted tissue that can serve as an energy reservoir to fuel osteoblasts and hematopoietic cells under stressful situations, and also acts as an endocrine/paracrine organ to suppress bone formation and support hematopoiesis at steady-state conditions. In this review, we summarize the uniqueness of BMAT, the complex findings of previous studies, and update our understanding of the physiological roles of BMAT in bone and hematopoietic metabolism based on a newly established bone marrow adipocyte-specific mouse model.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a prevalent public health concern, with beta-cell dysfunction involved in its pathogenesis. Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) increases in both the quantity and area in individuals with T2DM along with heightened monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion. This study aims to investigate the influence and underlying mechanisms of MCP-1 originating from bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) on systemic glucose homeostasis in T2DM. Initially, a substantial decrease in the proliferation and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of islet cells was observed. Moreover, a comparative analysis between the control (Ctrl) group and db/db mice revealed significant alterations in the gene expression profiles of whole bone marrow cells, with a noteworthy upregulation of Mcp-1. And the primary enriched pathways included chemokine signaling pathway and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications. In addition, the level of MCP-1 was distinctly elevated in BMA-derived conditional media (CM), leading to a substantial inhibition of proliferation, GSIS and the protein level of phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in Min6 cells. After blocking MCP-1 pathway, we observed a restoration of p-Akt and the proliferation of islet cells, resulting in a marked improvement in disordered glucose homeostasis. In summary, there is an accumulation of BMAs in T2DM, which secrete excessive MCP-1, exacerbating the abnormal accumulation of BMAs in the bone marrow cavity through paracrine signaling. The upregulated MCP-1, in turn, worsens glucose metabolism disorder by inhibiting the proliferation and insulin secretion of islet cells through an endocrine pathway. Inhibiting MCP-1 signaling can partially restore the proliferation and insulin secretion of islet cells, ultimately ameliorating glucose metabolism disorder. It's worth noting that to delve deeper into the impact of MCP-1 derived from BMAs on islet cells and its potential mechanisms, it is imperative to develop genetically engineered mice with conditional Mcp-1 knockout from BMAs.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regenerate after myeloablation, a procedure that adversely disrupts the bone marrow and drives leptin receptor-expressing cells, a key niche component, to differentiate extensively into adipocytes. Regeneration of the bone marrow niche is associated with the resolution of adipocytes, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using Plin1-creER knock-in mice, we followed the fate of adipocytes in the regenerating niche in vivo. We found that bone marrow adipocytes were highly dynamic and dedifferentiated to leptin receptor-expressing cells during regeneration after myeloablation. Bone marrow adipocytes could give rise to osteolineage cells after skeletal injury. The cellular fate of steady-state bone marrow adipocytes was also plastic. Deletion of adipose triglyceride lipase (Atgl) from bone marrow stromal cells, including adipocytes, obstructed adipocyte dedifferentiation and led to severely compromised regeneration of HSCs as well as impaired B lymphopoiesis after myeloablation, but not in the steady state. Thus, the regeneration of HSCs and their niche depends on the cellular plasticity of bone marrow adipocytes.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a dynamic component of the bone marrow, regulating skeletal remodelling and secreting paracrine and endocrine factors that can affect haematopoiesis, as well as potentially nourishing the bone marrow during periods of stress. Bone marrow adipose tissue is regulated by multiple factors, but particularly nutrient status. In this Review, we examine how bone marrow adipocytes originate, their function in normal and pathological states and how bone marrow adipose tissue modulates whole-body homoeostasis through actions on bone cells, haematopoietic stem cells and extra-medullary adipocytes during nutritional challenges. We focus on both rodent models and human studies to help understand the unique marrow adipocyte, its response to the external nutrient environment and its effects on the skeleton. We finish by addressing some critical questions that to date remain unanswered.

Abstract
Osteocytes express parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptors and respond to the PTHrP analog abaloparatide (ABL) and to the PTH 1-34 fragment teriparatide (TPTD), which are used to treat osteoporosis. Several studies indicate overlapping but distinct skeletal responses to ABL or TPTD, but their effects on cortical bone may differ. Little is known about their differential effects on osteocytes. We compared cortical osteocyte and skeletal responses to ABL and TPTD in sham-operated and ovariectomized mice. Administered 7 weeks after ovariectomy for 4 weeks at a dose of 40 μg/kg/d, TPTD and ABL had similar effects on trabecular bone, but ABL showed stronger effects in cortical bone. In cortical osteocytes, both treatments decreased lacunar area, reflecting altered peri-lacunar remodeling favoring matrix accumulation. Osteocyte RNA-Seq revealed that several genes and pathways were altered by ovariectomy and affected similarly by TPTD and ABL. Notwithstanding, several signaling pathways were uniquely regulated by ABL. Thus, in mice, TPTD and ABL induced a positive osteocyte peri-lacunar remodeling balance, but ABL induced stronger cortical responses and affected the osteocyte transcriptome differently. We concluded that ABL affected the cortical osteocyte transcriptome in a manner subtly different from TPTD, resulting in more beneficial remodeling/modeling changes and homeostasis of the cortex.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1207416. [PMID: 37711896 PMCID: PMC10497772 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1207416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are the most plentiful cells in the bone marrow and function as an endocrine organ by producing fatty acids, cytokines, and adipokines. Consequently, BMAs can interact with tumor cells, influencing both tumor growth and the onset and progression of bone metastasis. This review aims to systematically evaluate the role of BMAs in the development and progression of bone metastasis. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards, to identify studies published from March 2013 to June 2023. Two independent reviewers assessed and screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the studies. The body of evidence was evaluated and graded using the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies of interventions and the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) tool for in vivo studies. The results were synthesized using descriptive methods. Results The search yielded a total of 463 studies, of which 17 studies were included in the final analysis, including 15 preclinical studies and two non-randomized clinical studies. Analysis of preclinical studies revealed that BMAs play a significant role in bone metastasis, particularly in prostate cancer followed by breast and malignant melanoma cancers. BMAs primarily influence cancer cells by inducing a glycolytic phenotype and releasing or upregulating soluble factors, chemokines, cytokines, adipokines, tumor-derived fatty acid-binding protein (FABP), and members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, such as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7), C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand (CXCL)1, CXCL2, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, FABP4, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). These factors also contribute to adipocyte lipolysis and regulate a pro-inflammatory phenotype in BMAs. However, the number of clinical studies is limited, and definitive conclusions cannot be drawn. Conclusion The preclinical studies reviewed indicate that BMAs may play a crucial role in bone metastasis in prostate, breast, and malignant melanoma cancers. Nevertheless, further preclinical and clinical studies are needed to better understand the complex role and relationship between BMAs and cancer cells in the bone microenvironment. Targeting BMAs in combination with standard treatments holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy for bone metastasis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Suppression of bone turnover, greater trabecular volume, and normal-high normal all-site bone mineral density (BMD) are hallmarks of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT). Impairment in the trabecular microarchitecture with possible higher risk of vertebral fractures (VF) in women with postmenopausal HypoPT has also been described. Currently, no data on bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) are available in HypoPT. OBJECTIVE To assess BMAT by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in postmenopausal women with chronic postsurgical HypoPT. METHODS This cross-sectional pilot study, conducted at an ambulatory referral center, included 29 postmenopausal women (mean age 66 ± 8.4 years) with postsurgical HypoPT and 31 healthy postmenopausal women (mean age 63 ± 8.5). Lumbar spine MRI was performed and BMAT was measured by applying PRESS sequences on the L3 body. Lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip BMD were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA); site-matched spine trabecular bone score (TBS) was calculated by TBS iNsight (Medimaps, Switzerland); VF assessment was performed with lateral thoracic and lumbar spine DXA. RESULTS Fat content (FC) and saturation level (SL%) were higher (P <.0001 and P <.001), while water content (W) was lower in HypoPT compared to controls (P <.0001). FC significantly correlated with years since menopause and body weight (P <.05) in HypoPT, while TBS negatively correlated with FC and SL% (P <.05) and positively with residual lipids (RL) and W (P <.05). CONCLUSION We demonstrate for the first time that BMAT is increased in postmenopausal women with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism and negatively associated with trabecular microarchitecture.

Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a broad range of diseases with permanent and nonprogressive motor impairments, carrying a high cost for both the individual and the society. The characteristics of low bone mineral density and high risk of fractures suggest that bone metabolism disorders are present in CP. This study aims to investigate the association between indicators of bone metabolism and children with CP. A total of 139 children (75 children with CP and 64 healthy controls) were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants were divided into three age groups (0-2 years, 2.1-4 years, and 4.1-7 years). All children with CP were diagnosed according to clinical criteria and furtherly divided into clinical subtypes. The levels of total procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (TPINP), N-MID osteocalcin (OC), beta-crosslaps (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the serum were measured with corresponding detection kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serum levels of TPINP and 25-OHD were lower with older age, whereas β-CTX and PTH were higher with older age. In the CP group, TPINP (age 0-2 years and 2.1-4 years) and OC (age 2.1-4 years) levels were higher, while β-CTX (age 2.1-4 years and 4.1-7 years) and PTH (age 2.1-4 years) values were lower than the control group. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of these indicators among the CP subgroups with different clinical characteristics. Our study shows that bone turnover markers, indicators of bone metabolism, in children with CP differ significantly from healthy controls. The indicators we studied changed with age, and they did not correlate with disease severity.

Abstract
Monocytes play a key role in the development of metabolic syndrome, and especially obesity. Given the complex features of their development from progenitor cells, whose regulation is mediated by their interactions with bone marrow adipocytes, the importance of a detailed study of the heterogeneous composition of monocytes at the molecular and systemic levels becomes clear. Research argues for monocytes as indicators of changes in the body's metabolism and the possibility of developing therapeutic strategies to combat obesity and components of metabolic syndrome based on manipulations of the monocyte compound of the immune response. An in-depth study of the heterogeneity of bone-marrow-derived monocytes and adipocytes could provide answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of obesity and reveal their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The safe and effective use of Wnt signaling is a hot topic in developing osteogenic drugs. SB216763 (S33) is a widely used highly specific GSK3β inhibitor. Here, we show that S33 initiates canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting GSK3β activity in the bone marrow stromal cell line ST2 and increases osteoblast marker alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoblast marker gene expression including Alpl, Col1α1, and Runx2, promoting osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of ST2 cells. In addition, S33 suppressed the expression of adipogenic transcription factors Pparg and Cebpa in ST2 cells to suppress adipogenesis. ICRT-14, a specific transcriptional inhibitor of Wnt signaling, reversed the effects of S33 on the differentiation of ST2 cells. S33 also increased the expression of osteoclast cytokines RANKL and Opg but decreased the RANKL/Opg ratio and had the potential to inhibit osteoclast differentiation. In addition, we printed the PSCI3D (polycaprolactone, S33, cell-integrated 3D) scaffolds using a newly established integrated 3D printing system for hard materials and cells. S33 sustained release in the hydrogel of the scaffold with 25.4% release on day 1% and 81.7% release over 7 days. Cells in the scaffolds had good cell viability. The ratio of live/dead cells remained above 94% for 7 days, while the cells in the scaffolds proliferated linearly, and the proliferative activity of the PSCI3D scaffold group increased 1.4-fold and 1.7-fold on days 4 and 7, respectively. Similarly, in PSCI3D scaffolds, osteogenic differentiation of st2 cells was increased. The alkaline phosphatase activity increased 1.4- and 4.0-fold on days 7 and 14, respectively, and mineralization increased 1.7-fold at 21 days. In addition, PSCI3D conditioned medium promoted migration and tubulogenesis of HUVECs, and S33 upregulated the expression of Vegfa, a key factor in angiogenesis. In conclusion, our study suggests that S33 functions in osteogenesis, anti-adipogenesis, and potential inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. And the sustained release of S33 in PSCI3D scaffolds creates a safe osteogenic niche, which promotes cell proliferation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis and has application prospects.

Abstract
Mesenchymal progenitors (MPs) are considered to play vital roles in bone development, growth, bone turnover, and repair. In recent years, benefiting from advanced approaches such as single-cell sequence, lineage tracing, flow cytometry, and transplantation, multiple MPs are identified and characterized in several locations of bone, including perichondrium, growth plate, periosteum, endosteum, trabecular bone, and stromal compartment. However, although great discoveries about skeletal stem cells (SSCs) and progenitors are present, it is still largely obscure how the varied landscape of MPs from different residing sites diversely contribute to the further differentiation of osteoblasts, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and other stromal cells in their respective destiny sites during development and regeneration. Here we discuss recent findings on MPs' origin, differentiation, and maintenance during long bone development and homeostasis, providing clues and models of how the MPs contribute to bone development and repair.

Abstract
The bone is an important organ that performs various functions, and the bone marrow inside the skeleton is composed of a complex intermix of hematopoietic, vascular, and skeletal cells. Current single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has revealed heterogeneity and sketchy differential hierarchy of skeletal cells. Skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) are located upstream of the hierarchy and differentiate into chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and bone marrow adipocytes. In the bone marrow, multiple types of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which have the potential of SSPCs, are spatiotemporally located in distinct areas, and SSPCs' potential shift of BMSCs may occur with the advancement of age. These BMSCs contribute to bone regeneration and bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. In vivo lineage-tracing technologies show that various types of skeletal lineage cells concomitantly gather and contribute to bone regeneration. In contrast, these cells differentiate into adipocytes with aging, leading to senile osteoporosis. scRNA-seq analysis has revealed that alteration in the cell-type composition is a major cause of tissue aging. In this review, we discuss the cellular dynamics of skeletal cell populations in bone homeostasis, regeneration, and osteoporosis.

Abstract
The role of energy metabolism in bone cells is an active field of investigation. Bone cells are metabolically very active and require high levels of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to support their function. ATP is generated in the cytosol via glycolysis coupled with lactic acid fermentation and in the mitochondria via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). OXPHOS is the final convergent metabolic pathway for all oxidative steps of dietary nutrients catabolism. The formation of ATP is driven by an electrochemical gradient that forms across the mitochondrial inner membrane through to the activity of the electron transport chain (ETC) complexes and requires the presence of oxygen as the final electron acceptor. The current literature supports a model in which glycolysis is the main source of energy in undifferentiated mesenchymal progenitors and terminally differentiated osteoblasts, whereas OXPHOS appears relevant in an intermediate stage of differentiation of those cells. Conversely, osteoclasts progressively increase OXPHOS during differentiation until they become multinucleated and mitochondrial-rich terminal differentiated cells. Despite the abundance of mitochondria, mature osteoclasts are considered ATP-depleted, and the availability of ATP is a critical factor that regulates the low survival capacity of these cells, which rapidly undergo death by apoptosis. In addition to ATP, bioenergetic metabolism generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intermediate metabolites that regulate a variety of cellular functions, including epigenetics changes of genomic DNA and histones. This review will briefly discuss the role of OXPHOS and the cross-talks OXPHOS-glycolysis in the differentiation process of bone cells.

Abstract
Interest in calcium phosphate cements as materials for the restoration and treatment of bone tissue defects is still high. Despite commercialization and use in the clinic, the calcium phosphate cements have great potential for development. Existing approaches to the production of calcium phosphate cements as drugs are analyzed. A description of the pathogenesis of the main diseases of bone tissue (trauma, osteomyelitis, osteoporosis and tumor) and effective common treatment strategies are presented in the review. An analysis of the modern understanding of the complex action of the cement matrix and the additives and drugs distributed in it in relation to the successful treatment of bone defects is given. The mechanisms of biological action of functional substances determine the effectiveness of use in certain clinical cases. An important direction of using calcium phosphate cements as a carrier of functional substances is the volumetric incorporation of anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiresorptive and osteogenic functional substances. The main functionalization requirement for carrier materials is prolonged elution. Various release factors related to the matrix, functional substances and elution conditions are considered in the work. It is shown that cements are a complex system. Changing one of the many initial parameters in a wide range changes the final characteristics of the matrix and, accordingly, the kinetics. The main approaches to the effective functionalization of calcium phosphate cements are considered in the review.

Abstract
Hormones are indispensable for bone development, growth, and maintenance. While many of the genes associated with osteogenesis are well established, it is the recent findings in endocrinology that are advancing the fields of bone biology and toxicology. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of the endocrine system. Here, we report recent discoveries describing key hormone pathways involved in osteogenesis and the EDCs that alter these pathways. EDCs can lead to bone morphological changes via altering hormone receptors, signaling pathways, and gene expression. The objective of this review is to highlight the recent discoveries of the harmful effects of environmental toxicants on bone formation and the pathways impacted. Understanding the mechanisms of how EDCs interfere with bone formation contributes to providing a comprehensive toxicological profile of a chemical.

Abstract
Whilst bone marrow adipocytes (BMAd) have long been appreciated by clinical haemato-pathologists, it is only relatively recently, in the face of emerging data, that the adipocytic niche has come under the watchful eye of biologists. There is now mounting evidence to suggest that BMAds are not just a simple structural entity of bone marrow microenvironments but a bona fide driver of physio- and pathophysiological processes relevant to multiple aspects of health and disease. Whilst the truly multifaceted nature of BMAds has only just begun to emerge, paradigms have shifted already for normal, malignant and non-malignant haemopoiesis incorporating a view of adipocyte regulation. Major efforts are ongoing, to delineate the routes by which BMAds participate in health and disease with a final aim of achieving clinical tractability. This review summarises the emerging role of BMAds across the spectrum of normal and pathological haematological conditions with a particular focus on its impact on cancer therapy.

Abstract
Conditional deletion of the PTH1R in mesenchymal progenitors reduces osteoblast differentiation, enhances marrow adipogenesis, and increases zinc finger protein 467 (Zfp467) expression. In contrast, genetic loss of Zfp467 increased Pth1r expression and shifts mesenchymal progenitor cell fate toward osteogenesis and higher bone mass. PTH1R and ZFP467 could constitute a feedback loop that facilitates PTH-induced osteogenesis and that conditional deletion of Zfp467 in osteogenic precursors would lead to high bone mass in mice. Prrx1Cre; Zfp467fl/fl but not AdipoqCre; Zfp467fl/fl mice exhibit high bone mass and greater osteogenic differentiation similar to the Zfp467-/- mice. qPCR results revealed that PTH suppressed Zfp467 expression primarily via the cyclic AMP/PKA pathway. Not surprisingly, PKA activation inhibited the expression of Zfp467 and gene silencing of Pth1r caused an increase in Zfp467 mRNA transcription. Dual fluorescence reporter assays and confocal immunofluorescence demonstrated that genetic deletion of Zfp467 resulted in higher nuclear translocation of NFκB1 that binds to the P2 promoter of the Pth1r and increased its transcription. As expected, Zfp467-/- cells had enhanced production of cyclic AMP and increased glycolysis in response to exogenous PTH. Additionally, the osteogenic response to PTH was also enhanced in Zfp467-/- COBs, and the pro-osteogenic effect of Zfp467 deletion was blocked by gene silencing of Pth1r or a PKA inhibitor. In conclusion, our findings suggest that loss or PTH1R-mediated repression of Zfp467 results in a pathway that increases Pth1r transcription via NFκB1 and thus cellular responsiveness to PTH/PTHrP, ultimately leading to enhanced bone formation.

Abstract
The chronic use of glucocorticoids decreases bone mass and quality and increases bone-marrow adiposity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that bone-marrow adipocyte (BMAd) lineage cells in adult mice undergo rapid cellular senescence upon glucocorticoid treatment. The senescent BMAds acquire a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which spreads senescence in bone and bone marrow. Mechanistically, glucocorticoids increase the synthesis of oxylipins, such as 15d-PGJ2, for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation. PPARγ stimulates the expression of key senescence genes and also promotes oxylipin synthesis in BMAds, forming a positive feedback loop. Transplanting senescent BMAds into the bone marrow of healthy mice is sufficient to induce the secondary spread of senescent cells and bone-loss phenotypes, whereas transplanting BMAds harboring a p16INK4a deletion did not show such effects. Thus, glucocorticoid treatment induces a lipid metabolic circuit that robustly triggers the senescence of BMAd lineage cells that, in turn, act as the mediators of glucocorticoid-induced bone deterioration.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-enriched pumpkin may serve as a good source of calcium for patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of CaCO3-enriched pumpkin on Ca status in ovariectomized rats. The study included 40 female Wistar rats divided into five groups (n = 8). One group was fed with a standard diet (control group), while the other four groups were ovariectomized and received a standard diet (control ovariectomized group), or a diet containing CaCO3-enriched pumpkin, alendronate, or both. The nutritional intervention lasted 12 weeks, and then the rats were euthanized. Tissue and blood samples were collected and assessed for the levels of total Ca, estradiol, parathyroid hormone, and procollagen type I N propeptide. In addition, a histological analysis was performed on femurs. The results of the study suggest that CaCO3-enriched pumpkin can increase Ca content in femurs and improve bone recovery in ovariectomized rats. Furthermore, enriched pumpkin contributes to Ca accumulation in the kidneys, and this effect is more pronounced in combination with alendronate.

Abstract
Caloric restriction (CR) is now a popular lifestyle choice due to its ability in experimental animals to improve lifespan, reduce body weight, and lessen oxidative stress. However, more and more emerging evidence suggests this treatment requires careful consideration because of its detrimental effects on the skeletal system. Experimental and clinical studies show that CR can suppress bone growth and raise the risk of fracture, but the specific mechanisms are poorly understood. Reduced mechanical loading has long been thought to be the primary cause of weight loss-induced bone loss from calorie restriction. Despite fat loss in peripheral depots with calorie restriction, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) increases, and this may play a significant role in this pathological process. Here, we update recent advances in our understanding of the effects of CR on the skeleton, the possible pathogenic role of BMAT in CR-induced bone loss, and some strategies to mitigate any potential side effects on the skeletal system.

[PMID: 36729662 PMCID: PMC10070112 DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.165604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The energetic costs of bone formation require osteoblasts to coordinate their activities with tissues, like adipose, that can supply energy-dense macronutrients. In the case of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment, a strategy used to reduce fracture risk, bone formation is preceded by a change in systemic lipid homeostasis. To investigate the requirement for fatty acid oxidation by osteoblasts during PTH-induced bone formation, we subjected mice with osteoblast-specific deficiency of mitochondrial long-chain β-oxidation as well as mice with adipocyte-specific deficiency for the PTH receptor or adipose triglyceride lipase to an anabolic treatment regimen. PTH increased the release of fatty acids from adipocytes and β-oxidation by osteoblasts, while the genetic mouse models were resistant to the hormone's anabolic effect. Collectively, these data suggest that PTH's anabolic actions require coordinated signaling between bone and adipose, wherein a lipolytic response liberates fatty acids that are oxidized by osteoblasts to fuel bone formation.

Abstract
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) creates a specific microniche within multifunctional bone marrow (BM) ecosystem which imposes changes in surrounding cells and at systemic level. Moreover, BMAT contributes to spatial and temporal separation and metabolic compartmentalization of BM, thus regulating BM homeostasis and diseases. Recent findings have identified novel progenitor subsets of bone marrow adipocytes (BMAd)s recruited during the BM adipogenesis within different skeletal and hematopoietic stem cell niches. Potential of certain mesenchymal BM cells to differentiate into both osteogenic and adipogenic lineages, contributes to the complex interplay of BMAT with endosteal (osteoblastic) niche compartments as an important cellular player in bone tissue homeostasis. Targeting and ablation of BMAT cells at certain states might be an optional and promising strategy for improvement of bone health. Additionally, recent findings demonstrated spatial distribution of BMAds related to hematopoietic cells and pointed out important functional roles in the vital processes such as long-term hematopoiesis. BM adipogenesis appears to be an emergency phenomenon that follows the production of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell niche factors, thus regulating physiological, stressed, and malignant hematopoiesis. Lipolytic and secretory activity of BMAds can influence survival and proliferation of hematopoietic cells at different maturation stages. Due to their different lipid status, constitutive and regulated BMAds are important determinants of normal and malignant hematopoietic cells. Further elucidation of cellular and molecular players involved in BMAT expansion and crosstalk with malignant cells is of paramount importance for conceiving the new therapies for improvement of BM health.

Abstract
Animal models are fundamental to advance our knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology of bone loss and to study pharmaceutical countermeasures against it. The animal model of post-menopausal osteoporosis from ovariectomy is the most widely used preclinical approach to study skeletal deterioration. However, several other animal models exist, each with unique characteristics such as bone loss from disuse, lactation, glucocorticoid excess, or exposure to hypobaric hypoxia. The present review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of these animal models to emphasize the importance and significance of investigating bone loss and pharmaceutical countermeasures from perspectives other than post-menopausal osteoporosis only. Hence, the pathophysiology and underlying cellular mechanisms involved in the various types of bone loss are different, and this might influence which prevention and treatment strategies are the most effective. In addition, the review sought to map the current landscape of pharmaceutical countermeasures against osteoporosis with an emphasis on how drug development has changed from being driven by clinical observations and enhancement or repurposing of existing drugs to today's use of targeted anti-bodies that are the result of advanced insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of bone formation and resorption. Moreover, new treatment combinations or repurposing opportunities of already approved drugs with a focus on dabigatran, parathyroid hormone and abaloparatide, growth hormone, inhibitors of the activin signaling pathway, acetazolamide, zoledronate, and romosozumab are discussed. Despite the considerable progress in drug development, there is still a clear need to improve treatment strategies and develop new pharmaceuticals against various types of osteoporosis. The review also highlights that new treatment indications should be explored using multiple animal models of bone loss in order to ensure a broad representation of different types of skeletal deterioration instead of mainly focusing on primary osteoporosis from post-menopausal estrogen deficiency.

A mutation in the ZNF687 gene that is responsible for the severe form of Paget's disease of bone causes severely altered bone remodeling and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma onset in a knock-in mouse model. Bone Res 2023; 11:16.

Abstract
Paget's disease (PDB) is a late-onset bone remodeling disorder with a broad spectrum of symptoms and complications. One of the most aggressive forms is caused by the P937R mutation in the ZNF687 gene. Although the genetic involvement of ZNF687 in PDB has been extensively studied, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Here, we describe the first Zfp687 knock-in mouse model and demonstrate that the mutation recapitulates the PDB phenotype, resulting in severely altered bone remodeling. Through microcomputed tomography analysis, we observed that 8-month-old mutant mice showed a mainly osteolytic phase, with a significant decrease in the trabecular bone volume affecting the femurs and the vertebrae. Conversely, osteoblast activity was deregulated, producing disorganized bone. Notably, this phenotype became pervasive in 16-month-old mice, where osteoblast function overtook bone resorption, as highlighted by the presence of woven bone in histological analyses, consistent with the PDB phenotype. Furthermore, we detected osteophytes and intervertebral disc degeneration, outlining for the first time the link between osteoarthritis and PDB in a PDB mouse model. RNA sequencing of wild-type and Zfp687 knockout RAW264.7 cells identified a set of genes involved in osteoclastogenesis potentially regulated by Zfp687, e.g., Tspan7, Cpe, Vegfc, and Ggt1, confirming its role in this process. Strikingly, in this mouse model, the mutation was also associated with a high penetrance of hepatocellular carcinomas. Thus, this study established an essential role of Zfp687 in the regulation of bone remodeling, offering the potential to therapeutically treat PDB, and underlines the oncogenic potential of ZNF687.

Abstract
It has been established that mechanical stimulation benefits tendon-bone (T-B) healing, and macrophage phenotype can be regulated by mechanical cues; moreover, the interaction between macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a fundamental role in tissue repair. This study aimed to investigate the role of macrophage-mediated MSC chondrogenesis in load-induced T-B healing in depth. C57BL/6 mice rotator cuff (RC) repair model was established to explore the effects of mechanical stimulation on macrophage polarization, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 generation, and MSC chondrogenesis within T-B enthesis by immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Macrophage depletion was performed by clodronate liposomes, and T-B healing quality was evaluated by histology and biomechanics. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stretched with CELLOAD-300 load system and macrophage polarization was identified by flow cytometry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MSC chondrogenic differentiation was measured by histochemical analysis and qRT-PCR. ELISA and qRT-PCR were performed to screen the candidate molecules that mediated the pro-chondrogenic function of mechanical stimulated BMDMs. Mechanical stimulation promoted macrophage M2 polarization in vivo and in vitro. The conditioned media from mechanically stimulated BMDMs (MS-CM) enhanced MSC chondrogenic differentiation, and mechanically stimulated BMDMs generated more TGF-β1. Further, neutralizing TGF-β1 in MS-CM can attenuate its pro-chondrogenic effect. In vivo, mechanical stimulation promoted TGF-β1 generation, MSC chondrogenesis, and T-B healing, which were abolished following macrophage depletion. Macrophages subjected to appropriate mechanical stimulation could polarize toward the M2 phenotype and secrete TGF-β1 to promote MSC chondrogenesis, which subsequently augments T-B healing.

Abstract
Pluripotent stem cells are key players in regenerative medicine. Embryonic pluripotent stem cells, despite their significant advantages, are associated with limitations such as their inadequate availability and the ethical dilemmas in their isolation and clinical use. The discovery of very small embryonic-like (VSEL) stem cells addressed the aforementioned limitations, but their isolation technique remains a challenge due to their small cell size and their efficiency in isolation. Here, we report a simplified and effective approach for the isolation of small pluripotent stem cells derived from human peripheral blood. Our approach results in a high yield of small blood stem cell (SBSC) population, which expresses pluripotent embryonic markers (e.g., Nanog, SSEA-3) and the Yamanaka factors. Further, a fraction of SBSCs also co-express hematopoietic markers (e.g., CD45 and CD90) and/or mesenchymal markers (e.g., CD29, CD105 and PTH1R), suggesting a mixed stem cell population. Finally, quantitative proteomic profiling reveals that SBSCs contain various stem cell markers (CD9, ITGA6, MAPK1, MTHFD1, STAT3, HSPB1, HSPA4), and Transcription reg complex factors (e.g., STAT5B, PDLIM1, ANXA2, ATF6, CAMK1). In conclusion, we present a novel, simplified and effective isolating process that yields an abundant population of small-sized cells with characteristics of pluripotency from human peripheral blood.

Abstract
PURPOSE As the population ages, there is an increased risk of fracture and morbidity diseases associated with aging, such as age-related osteoporosis and other bone diseases linked to aging skeletons. RESULTS Several bone-related cells, including multipotent bone mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts that form bone tissue, and osteoclasts that break it down, are in symbiotic relationships throughout life. Growing evidence indicates that epigenetic modifications of cells caused by aging contribute to compromised bone remodeling and lead to osteoporosis. A number of epigenetic mechanisms are at play, including DNA/RNA modifications, histone modifications, microRNAs (miRNAs), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as well as chromatin remodeling. CONCLUSION In this review, we summarized the epigenetic modifications of different bone-related cells during the development and progression of osteoporosis associated with aging. Additionally, we described a compensatory recovery mechanism under epigenetic regulation that may lead to new strategies for regulating bone remodeling in age-related osteoporosis.

Abstract
Peiminine is a major biologically active component of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq that exhibits good anticancer, antiinflammatory, and anti-osteoclast effects. However, its effects on osteoporosis (OP) remain unknown. This study aimed to explore whether Peiminine was able to regulate osteogenesis and adipogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) rat. The effects on the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), function of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, ALP activity, calcium nodule deposition, as well as adipocyte formation in vitro by Peiminine at different concentrations, were detected. The curative effects of Peiminine on the ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model by micro-CT and bone histomorphology assays were analyzed. The promotion of osteogenic differentiation and inhibition of adipogenic differentiation by Peiminine (5-40 μg/mL) was detected and the optimum concentration was 20 μg/mL. Mechanistically, Peiminine regulated the fate of BMSCs in vitro, and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by restraining phosphorylation of β-catenin and promoting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Moreover, Peiminine prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. Our data suggested that Peiminine could attenuate ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. These encouraging discoveries could lay the foundation for Peiminine to be a promising preventive treatment strategy for skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
M-CSF is a critical growth factor for myeloid lineage cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts. Tissue-resident macrophages in most organs rely on local M-CSF. However, it is unclear what specific cells in the bone marrow produce M-CSF to maintain myeloid homeostasis. Here, we found that Adipoq-lineage progenitors but not mature adipocytes in bone marrow or in peripheral adipose tissue, are a major cellular source of M-CSF, with these Adipoq-lineage progenitors producing M-CSF at levels much higher than those produced by osteoblast lineage cells. The Adipoq-lineage progenitors with high CSF1 expression also exist in human bone marrow. Deficiency of M-CSF in bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors drastically reduces the generation of bone marrow macrophages and osteoclasts, leading to severe osteopetrosis in mice. Furthermore, the osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice can be significantly alleviated by the absence of M-CSF in bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors. Our findings identify bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors as a major cellular source of M-CSF in bone marrow and reveal their crucial contribution to bone marrow macrophage development, osteoclastogenesis, bone homeostasis, and pathological bone loss.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and increased bone fragility due to decreased estrogen levels. Qiangguyin (QGY) is transformed from the famous traditional Chinese medicine BuShen Invigorating Blood Decoction. In this study, we used QGY to treat PMOP. We observed that QGY significantly reduced fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction. However, its specific mechanism of action remains unclear. To determine the specific molecular mechanism of QGY, we explored the pharmacological mechanism by which QGY reduces fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction through network pharmacological analysis. The active components and targets related to PMOP and QGY were screened from different databases, forming a composition-target-disease network. Next, a comprehensive analysis platform including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were established. The results revealed that QGY inhibits adipogenic differentiation by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, thus reducing the accumulation of fat in the chondro-osseous junction. For further verification. In vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out. Our data showed that QGY significantly reversed the high expression of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Further, QGY prevents fat accumulation by inhibiting the expression of p38. In summary, the results of this study suggested that QGY-induced phenotypic changes are related to the activation of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
In the skeleton, osteoblasts and osteoclasts synchronize their activities to maintain bone homeostasis and integrity. Investigating the molecular mechanisms governing bone remodeling is critical and helps understand the underlying biology of bone disorders. Initially, we have identified the ubiquitin-specific peptidase gene (Usp53) as a target of the parathyroid hormone in osteoblasts and a regulator of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. Mutations in USP53 have been linked to a constellation of developmental pathologies. However, the role of Usp53 in bone has never been visited. Here we show that Usp53 null mice have a low bone mass phenotype in vivo. Usp53 null mice exhibit a pronounced decrease in trabecular bone indices including trabecular bone volume (36%) and trabecular number (26%) along with an increase in trabecular separation (13%). Cortical bone parameters are also impacted, showing a reduction in cortical bone volume (12%) and cortical bone thickness (15%). As a result, the strength and mechanical bone properties of Usp53 null mice have been compromised. At the cellular level, the ablation of Usp53 perturbs bone remodeling, augments osteoblast-dependent osteoclastogenesis, and increases osteoclast numbers. Bone marrow adipose tissue volume increased significantly with age in Usp53-deficient mice. Usp53 null mice displayed increased serum receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) levels, and Usp53-deficient osteoblasts and bone marrow adipocytes have increased expression of Rankl. Mechanistically, USP53 regulates Rankl expression by enhancing the interaction between VDR and SMAD3. This is the first report describing the function of Usp53 during skeletal development. Our results put Usp53 in display as a novel regulator of osteoblast-osteoclast coupling and open the door for investigating the involvement of USP53 in pathologies. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
The past decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of skeletal homeostasis and the mechanisms that mediate the loss of bone integrity in disease. Recent breakthroughs have arisen mainly from identifying disease-causing mutations and modeling human bone disease in rodents, in essence, highlighting the integrative nature of skeletal physiology. It has become increasingly clear that bone cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, communicate and regulate the fate of each other through RANK/RANKL/OPG, liver X receptors (LXRs), EphirinB2-EphB4 signaling, sphingolipids, and other membrane-associated proteins, such as semaphorins. Mounting evidence also showed that critical developmental pathways, namely, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), NOTCH, and WNT, interact each other and play an important role in postnatal bone remodeling. The skeleton communicates not only with closely situated organs, such as bone marrow, muscle, and fat, but also with remote vital organs, such as the kidney, liver, and brain. The metabolic effect of bone-derived osteocalcin highlights a possible role of skeleton in energy homeostasis. Furthermore, studies using genetically modified rodent models disrupting the reciprocal relationship with tropic pituitary hormone and effector hormone have unraveled an independent role of pituitary hormone in skeletal remodeling beyond the role of regulating target endocrine glands. The cytokine-mediated skeletal actions and the evidence of local production of certain pituitary hormones by bone marrow-derived cells displays a unique endocrine-immune-skeletal connection. Here, we discuss recently elucidated mechanisms controlling the remodeling of bone, communication of bone cells with cells of other lineages, crosstalk between bone and vital organs, as well as opportunities for treating diseases of the skeleton.

Skeletal diseases caused by mutations in PTH1R show aberrant differentiation of skeletal progenitors due to dysregulation of DEPTOR. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 10:963389. [PMID: 36726589 PMCID: PMC9885499 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.963389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Alterations in the balance between skeletogenesis and adipogenesis is a pathogenic feature in multiple skeletal disorders. Clinically, enhanced bone marrow adiposity in bones impairs mobility and increases fracture risk, reducing the quality of life of patients. The molecular mechanism that underlies the balance between skeletogenesis and adipogenesis is not completely understood but alterations in skeletal progenitor cells' differentiation pathway plays a key role. We recently demonstrated that parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) control the levels of DEPTOR, an inhibitor of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and that DEPTOR levels are altered in different skeletal diseases. Here, we show that mutations in the PTH receptor-1 (PTH1R) alter the differentiation of skeletal progenitors in two different skeletal genetic disorders and lead to accumulation of fat or cartilage in bones. Mechanistically, DEPTOR controls the subcellular localization of TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with a PDZ-binding domain), a transcriptional regulator that governs skeletal stem cells differentiation into either bone and fat. We show that DEPTOR regulation of TAZ localization is achieved through the control of Dishevelled2 (DVL2) phosphorylation. Depending on nutrient availability, DEPTOR directly interacts with PTH1R to regulate PTH/PTHrP signaling or it forms a complex with TAZ, to prevent its translocation to the nucleus and therefore inhibit its transcriptional activity. Our data point DEPTOR as a key molecule in skeletal progenitor differentiation; its dysregulation under pathologic conditions results in aberrant bone/fat balance.
