Abstract
BACKGROUND A lack of ideal filling materials is a critical limitation in current rhinoplasty. Cartilage sheet regeneration by autologous chondrocytes is expected to provide an ideal source of material. However, the inability to perform minimally invasive transplantation of cartilage sheets has greatly limited the clinical application of this material. In this article, the authors propose the concept of injectable cartilage microtissue (ICM) based on cartilage sheet technology, with the aim of achieving minimally invasive augmentation rhinoplasty in clinical practice. METHODS Approximately 1.0 cm2 of posterior auricular cartilage was collected from 28 patients. Isolated chondrocytes were expanded, then used to construct autologous cartilage sheets by high-density seeding and in vitro culture in chondrogenic medium with cytokines (eg, transforming growth factor beta-1 and insulin-like growth factor-1) for 3 weeks. Next, ICM was prepared by granulation of the cartilage sheets; it was then injected into a subcutaneous pocket for rhinoplasty. RESULTS ICM was successfully prepared in all patients, and its implantation efficiently raised the nasal dorsum. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that regenerative tissue was present at the injection site; histologic examinations demonstrated mature cartilage formation with typical cartilage lacunae and abundant cartilage-specific deposition of extracellular matrix. Excellent or good postoperative patient satisfaction results were achieved in 83.3% of patients over 5 years of follow-up. Obvious absorption of grafts occurred in only two patients (8.3%). CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated that ICM could facilitate stable cartilage regeneration and long-term maintenance in the human body; the implantation of ICM enabled natural augmentation of the depressed nasal dorsum. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, IV.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 927:172381. [PMID: 38604374 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172381] [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: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In fisheries, hypoxia stress is one of the most common environmental stresses that often lead to the death of large numbers of fish and cause significant economic losses. The pituitary, an important endocrine gland, lies below the hypothalamus region of the brain. It plays a crucial part in controlling vital physiological functions in fish, such as growth, reproduction, and responses to stress. However, the detailed mechanisms of how hypoxia affects these physiological processes via the pituitary remain largely unknown. METHODS Fat greenlings (Hexagrammous otakii) were exposed to different dissolved oxygen (DO = 7. 6 mg/L and DO = 2 mg/L) for 24 h. miRNA-mRNA association analysis of H. otakii pituitary after hypoxia stress. Detecting apoptosis in H. otakii pituitary using Tunel and qPCR. Subsequent detection of hormones in H. otakii liver, gonads and serum by ELISA. RESULTS In this study, hypoxia causes immune system disorders and inflammatory responses through the combined analysis of miRNAs and mRNAs. Subsequent verification indicated a significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) subsequent to hypoxia treatment. The overproduction of ROS cause oxidative stress and apoptosis in the pituitary, ultimately causing pituitary damage and reduced growth hormone and luteinising hormone release. CONCLUSIONS According to the association study of miRNA-mRNA, apoptosis problems caused by hypoxia stress result in H. otakii pituitary damage. In the meantime, this work clarifies the possible impact of hypoxia-stress on the pituitary cells, as well as on the gonadal development and growth of H. otakii.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease globally, which increases the healthcare service burden. Recent studies have linked higher white matter hyperintensities (WMH) to reduced BMD, increasing the risk of fractures and falls in older adults. However, limited evidence exists regarding the dose-response relationship between WMH and bone health in a larger and younger population. Our study aimed to examine the association of WMH volume with BMD, incident fractures and falls, focusing on dose-response relationship with varying levels of WMH volume. We included 26 410 participants from the UK Biobank. The association between WMH volume and BMD was analyzed using multiple linear regression. Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios of incident fractures and falls. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) fitted for linear and Cox regression models were employed to explore potential non-linearity. Over a mean follow-up time of 3.8 yr, we documented 59 hip fractures, 392 all fractures, and 375 fall incidents. When applying RCS, L-shaped relationships were identified between WMH volume and BMD across all 4 sites. Compared with those in the lowest fifth of WMH volume, individuals in the second to the highest fifths were associated with a reduction of 0.0102-0.0305 g/cm2 in femur neck BMD, 0.0075-0.0273 g/cm2 in femur troch BMD, 0.0173-0.0345 g/cm2 in LS BMD, and 0.0141-0.0339 g/cm2 in total body BMD. The association was more pronounced among women and younger participants under age 65 (Pinteraction < .05). Per 1 SD increment of WMH volume was associated with 36.9%, 20.1%, and 14.3% higher risks of incident hip fractures, all fractures, and falls. Genetically determined WMH or apolipoprotein E genotypes did not modify these associations. We demonstrated that a greater WMH was associated with BMD in an L-shaped dose-response manner, especially in women and those under 65 yr.

Abstract
Neuro bone tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines both principles of neurobiology and bone tissue engineering to develop innovative strategies for repairing and regenerating injured bone tissues. Despite the fact that regeneration and development are considered two distinct biological processes, yet regeneration can be considered the reactivation of development in later life stages to restore missing tissues. It is noteworthy that the regeneration capabilities are distinct and vary from one organism to another (teleost fishes, hydra, humans), or even in the same organism can vary dependent on the injured tissue itself (Human central nervous system vs. peripheral nervous system). The skeletal tissue is highly innervated, peripheral nervous system plays a role in conveying the signals and connecting the central nervous system with the peripheral organs, moreover it has been shown that they play an important role in tissue regeneration. Their regeneration role is conveyed by the different cells' resident in it and in its endoneurium (fibroblasts, microphages, vasculature associated cells, and Schwann cells) these cells secrete various growth factors (NGF, BDNF, GDNF, NT-3, and bFGF) that contribute to the regenerative phenotype. The peripheral nervous system and central nervous system synchronize together in regulating bone homeostasis and regeneration through neurogenic factors and neural circuits. Receptors of important central nervous system peptides such as Serotonin, Leptin, Semaphorins, and BDNF are expressed in bone tissue playing a role in bone homeostasis, metabolism and regeneration. This review will highlight the crosstalk between peripheral nerves and bone in the developmental stages as well as in regeneration and different neuro-bone tissue engineering strategies for repairing severe bone injuries.

Long-term tralopyril exposure results in endocrinological and transgenerational toxicity: A two-generation study of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169344.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of tralopyril, a newly developed marine antifouling agent, on the reproductive endocrine system and developmental toxicity of offspring in marine medaka. The results revealed that exposure to tralopyril (0, 1, 20 μg/L) for 42 days resulted in decreased reproductive capacity in marine medaka. Moreover, it disrupted the levels of sex hormones E2 and T, as well as the transcription levels of genes related to the HPG axis, such as cyp19b and star. Sex-dependent differences were observed, with females experiencing more pronounced effects. Furthermore, intergenerational toxicity was observed in F1 offspring, including increased heart rate, changes in retinal morphology and cartilage structure, decreased swimming activity, and downregulation of transcription levels of relevant genes (HPT axis, GH/IGF axis, cox, bmp4, bmp2, runx2, etc.). Notably, the disruption of the F1 endocrine system by tralopyril persisted into adulthood, indicating a transgenerational effect. Molecular docking analysis suggested that tralopyril's RA receptor activity might be one of the key factors contributing to the developmental toxicity observed in offspring. Overall, our study highlights the potential threat posed by tralopyril to the sustainability of fish populations, as it can disrupt the endocrine system and negatively impact aquatic organisms for multiple generations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Published literature describes slipped capital femoral epiphysis as a complication of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy that may be related to decreased physeal strength. The purpose of the current investigation was to utilize a case-control study design to determine whether a greater proportion of pediatric patients sustaining physeal avulsion fractures of the proximal tibia were undergoing rhGH therapy at the time of injury compared with a cohort of matched controls. METHODS A case-control design study design was utilized. Patients 4 to 18 years of age with proximal tibial physeal avulsion fractures (cases) or midshaft tibial fractures (controls) at our institution from February 1, 2016, to May 4, 2023, were identified. Cases and controls were matched 1:1 on the basis of age (within 1 year), sex, and body mass index (within 3 kg/m 2 ). A total of 132 patients were included in the analysis (mean age, 13 ± 2 years). rhGH exposure was compared using conditional logistic regression with Firth correction. RESULTS We found that 11% of the patients with a proximal tibial physeal avulsion fracture were on rhGH therapy at the time of injury compared with 0% of patients with midshaft tibial fractures (odds ratio [OR], 15.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8 to 1,946.7; p = 0.007). There was no significant difference in the proportion of sports-related injuries between cases (70%) and controls (67%) (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.55 to 2.39; p = 0.85). Among subjects with proximal tibial avulsion fractures, the proportion requiring surgery did not differ significantly between patients receiving and those not receiving rhGH therapy (43% versus 41%, respectively; p = 0.99). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the proportion of subjects who sustained proximal tibial physeal avulsion fractures and were receiving recombinant human growth hormone therapy at the time of injury was significantly greater than that of an age, sex, and body mass index-matched control group with midshaft tibial fractures (11% versus 0%, respectively, representing 15-times greater odds of exposure). This quantifies a previously unreported serious orthopaedic complication associated with rhGH therapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) has significant economic value as a high-yielding fish species in China's freshwater aquaculture industry. Determining the major genes related to growth traits and identifying molecular markers associated with these traits serve as the foundation for breeding strategies involving gene pyramiding. In this study, we screened restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) data to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci potentially associated with extreme growth differences between fast-growth and slow-growth groups in the F1 generation of a largemouth bass population. RESULTS We subsequently identified associations between these loci and specific candidate genes related to four key growth traits (body weight, body length, body height, and body thickness) based on SNP genotyping. In total, 4,196,486 high-quality SNPs were distributed across 23 chromosomes. Using a population-specific genotype frequency threshold of 0.7, we identified 30 potential SNPs associated with growth traits. Among the 30 SNPs, SNP19140160, SNP9639603, SNP9639605, and SNP23355498 showed significant associations; three of them (SNP9639603, SNP9639605, and SNP23355498) were significantly associated with one trait, body length, in the F1 generation, and one (SNP19140160) was significantly linked with four traits (body weight, height, length, and thickness) in the F1 generation. The markers SNP19140160 and SNP23355498 were located near two growth candidate genes, fam174b and ppip5k1b, respectively, and these candidate genes were closely linked with growth, development, and feeding. The average body weight of the group with four dominant genotypes at these SNP loci in the F1 generation population (703.86 g) was 19.63% higher than that of the group without dominant genotypes at these loci (588.36 g). CONCLUSIONS Thus, these four markers could be used to construct a population with dominant genotypes at loci related to fast growth. These findings demonstrate how markers can be used to identify genes related to fast growth, and will be useful for molecular marker-assisted selection in the breeding of high-quality largemouth bass.

Human breastmilk-derived Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269 regulates bone formation by the GH/IGF axis through PI3K/AKT pathway. Gut Microbes 2024; 16:2290344. [PMID: 38116652 PMCID: PMC10761167 DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2023.2290344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis is a prevalent member of the gut microbiota of breastfed infants. In this study, the effects of human breastmilk-derived B.longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269 on bone formation in developing BALB/c mice were investigated. Newborn female and male mice were assigned to control group (administered saline), CCFM11269 group (administered B. longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269, 1 × 109 CFU/mouse/day) and I5TI group (administered B. longum subsp. infantis I5TI, 1 × 109 CFU/mouse/day) from 1-week-old to 3-, 4- and 5-week old. B. longum subsp. infantis I5TI served as a negative control in this study. The results demonstrated that B. longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269 promoted bone formation in growing mice by modulating the composition of the gut microbiota and metabolites. The expression of genes and proteins in the PI3K/AKT pathway was stimulated by B. longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269 through the GH/IGF-1 axis in growing mice. This finding suggests B. longum subsp. infantis CCFM1269 may be useful for modulating bone metabolism during growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand the pathophysiology of idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) better, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of bone mineral density (BMD), hormones, and bone turnover markers (BTMs) between IOP patients and healthy controls. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, an appropriate search query was created, and three databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, were searched for screening relevant original articles. Feasible information, both qualitative and quantitative, was extracted and used to conduct meta-analyses. Publication bias and heterogeneity among studies were evaluated using appropriate statistical tools. RESULTS A total of 21 studies were included in the meta-analysis. There was reduced BMD at the lumbar spine (LS) (pooled: SDM: -2.38, p-value: 0.0001), femoral neck (FN) (pooled: SDM: -1.75 p-value: 0.0001), total hip (TH) (pooled: SDM: -1.825, p-value: 0.0001) and distal radius (DR) (pooled: SDM of -0.476, p-value: 0.0001), of which LS was the most affected site. There was no significant change in BTMs compared with healthy controls. Total estradiol (SDM: -1.357, p-value: 0.003) was reduced, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (SDM: 1.51, p-value: 0.03) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (SDM: 1.454, p-value: 0.0001) were elevated in IOP patients compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis, the first of its kind on IOP, defines it as showing BMD decline maximally at LS compared with healthy controls without any alterations in the BTMs. Further studies are required to understand gender differences and the significance of altered hormonal profiles in this condition.

Correlation between gut microbiota composition, enteric infections and linear growth impairment: a case-control study in childhood stunting in Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia. Gut Pathog 2023; 15:54. [PMID: 37946290 PMCID: PMC10636988 DOI: 10.1186/s13099-023-00581-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gut microbiota is pivotal in maintaining children's health and well-being. The ingestion of enteric pathogens and dysbiosis lead to Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED), which is essential in stunting pathogenesis. The roles of gut microbiome and enteric infections have not been explored comprehensively in relation to childhood stunting in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the correlation between gut microbiota composition, enteric infections, and growth biomarker, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), in stunted children from Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia. METHODS This study was a case-control study involving 42 subjects aged 24 to 59 months, comprising 21 stunted children for the case and 21 normal children for the control group. The IGF-1 serum level was quantified using ELISA. The gut microbiome profiling was conducted using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. The expression of enteric pathogens virulence genes was determined using quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay. The correlations of observed variables were analysed using suitable statistical analyses. RESULTS The result showed that the IGF-1 sera levels in stunted were lower than those in normal children (p ≤ 0.001). The abundance of Firmicutes (50%) was higher than Bacteroidetes (34%) in stunted children. The gut microbiome profile of stunted children showed enriched genera such as Blautia, Dorea, Collinsella, Streptococcus, Clostridium sensu stricto 13, Asteroleplasma and Anaerostipes. Meanwhile the depleted genera comprised Prevotella, Lactococcus, Butyrivibrio, Muribaculaceae, Alloprevotella, Akkermansia, Enterococcus, Terrisporobacter and Turicibacter. The abundance of water biological contaminants such as Aeromonas, Stappiaceae, and Synechococcus was also higher in stunted children compared to normal children. The virulence genes expression of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (aaiC), Enterotoxigenic E. coli (estA), Enteropathogenic E. coli (eaeA), Shigella/Enteroinvasive E. coli (ipaH3) and Salmonella enterica (ompC) in stunted was higher than in normal children (p ≤ 0.001), which negatively correlated to height and level of IGF-1. CONCLUSION The present study showed the distinctive gut microbiome profile of stunted and normal children from Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia. The gut microbiota of stunted children revealed dysbiosis, comprised several pro-inflammatory, metabolic abnormalities and high-fat/low-fiber diet-related taxa, and expressed virulence genes of enteric pathogens. These findings provide evidence that it is imperative to restore dysbiosis and preserve the balance of gut microbiota to support linear growth in children.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is defined as a degenerative joint disease that can affect all tissues of the joint, including the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, ligaments capsule, and synovial membrane. The conventional nonoperative treatments are ineffective for cartilage repair and induce only symptomatic relief. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a platelet concentrate derived from autologous whole blood with a high concentration of platelets, which can exert anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects by releasing multiple growth factors and cytokines. Recent studies have shown that PRP exhibits clinical benefits in patients with OA. However, high operational and equipment requirements greatly limit the application of PRP to OA treatment. Past studies have indicated that high-concentration PRP growth factors and cytokines may be applied as a commercial replacement for PRP. We reviewed the relevant articles to summarize the feasibility and mechanisms of PRP-based growth factors in OA. The available evidence suggests that transforming growth factor-α and β, platelet-derived growth factors, epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-1, and connective tissue growth factors might benefit OA, while vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor-α, angiopoietin-1, and stromal cell derived factor-1α might induce negative effects on OA. The effects of fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, platelet factor 4, and keratinocyte growth factor on OA remain uncertain. Thus, it can be concluded that not all cytokines released by PRP are beneficial, although the therapeutic action of PRP has a valuable potential to improve.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the only human malignancy that generates predominantly osteoblastic bone metastases, and osteoblastic bone metastases account for more than 90% of osseous metastases of prostate cancer. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) plays an important role in the osteoblastic bone metastasis of prostate cancer, which can promote osteomimicry of prostate cancer cells, suppress osteoclast differentiation, and facilitate osteoblast proliferation and activation at metastatic sites. In the meantime, it can activate osteogenic factors, including insulin-like growth factor, transforming growth factor β2 and urokinase-type plasminogen activator, and meanwhile suppress osteolytic factors such as parathyroid hormone-related protein. To recapitulate, PSA plays a significant role in the osteoblastic predominance of prostate cancer bone metastasis and bone remodeling by regulating multiple cells and factors involved in osseous metastasis.

Abstract
Parabramis pekinensis was treated as research object in order to investigate the correlation between morphological traits and body weight. We measured 9 morphological indexes including total length (X1), body length (X2), body height (X3), head length (X4), snout length (X5), eye diameter (X6), eye distance (X7), caudal stalk length (X8) and caudal stalk height (X9). The principal morphological traits affecting body weight were screened out and the regression equation was established. The regression equation of Y1 (age 1 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 169.183 + 32.544 × 3 + 10.263 × 4 + 15.655 × 7. The regression equation of Y2 (age 2 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 694.082 + 7.725 × 1 + 72.822 × 3 + 77.023 × 6, the regression equation of Y3 (age 3 group) shape character (X) and weight (Y) was Y = - 1161.512 + 26.062 × 1 + 22.319 × 2- 107.218 × 5 + 83.901 × 7. Gene expression was consistent with these conclusions. TOR signaling pathway expression raised in Y1 then width increased. And GH-IGF-1 signaling pathway expression raised in Y2 then the length increased. In conclusion, the paper could prove that P. pekinensis showed a growth trend, which was increasing width first and length later. In some sense, the study not only enriched the basic biological data of P. pekinensis, but also provided waiting morphological traits for selective breeding of P. pekinensis artificial breeding in future.

Comparative Study of the Cytokine Profiles of Serum and Tissues from Patients with the Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2021. [PMID: 37509659 PMCID: PMC10377187 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11072021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is one of the contributing factors leading to severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The mechanism causing ossification is still unclear. The current study was designed to analyze the specimens of patients with or without OPLL. METHODS The study collected 51 patients with cervical spondylosis. There were six serum samples in both the non-OPLL (NOPLL) and OPLL groups. For tissue analysis, there were seven samples in the NOPLL group and five samples in the OPLL group. The specimens of serum and tissue were analyzed by using Human Cytokine Antibody Arrays to differentiate biomarkers between the OPLL and NOPLL groups, as well as between serum and OPLL tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the ligament tissue was undertaken for both groups. RESULTS For OPLL vs. NOPLL, the serum leptin levels are higher in the OPLL group, corroborating others' observations that it may serve as a disease marker. In the tissue, angiogenin (ANG), osteopontin (OPN), and osteopro-tegerin (OPG) are higher than they are in the OPLL group (p < 0.05). For serum vs. OPLL tissue, many chemotactic cytokines demonstrated elevated levels of MIP1 delta, MCP-1, and RANTES in the serum, while many cytokines promoting or regulating bone genesis were up-regulated in tissue (oncostatin M, FGF-9, LIF, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, TGF-beta2), as well as the factor that inhibits osteoclastogenesis (IL-10), with very few cytokines responsible for osteoclastogenesis. Molecules promoting angiogenesis, including angiotensin, vEGF, and osteoprotegerin, are abundant in the OPLL tissue, which paves the way for robust bone growth.

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease characterized by the presence of systemic inflammation, manifesting not only as gastrointestinal symptoms but also as extraintestinal bone complications, including osteopenia and osteoporosis. However, the association between IBD and osteoporosis is complex, and the presence of multifactorial participants in the development of osteoporosis is increasingly recognized. Unlike in adults, delayed puberty and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis abnormalities are essential risk factors for osteoporosis in pediatric patients with IBD. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the potential pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to osteoporosis in adult and pediatric patients with IBD and provides evidence for effective prevention and treatment, focusing on pediatric patients with IBD. A search was performed from PubMed and Web of Science inception to February 2023 to identify articles on IBD, osteoporosis, pediatric, and fracture risk. EXPERT OPINION A comprehensive treatment pattern based on individualized principles can be used to manage pediatric IBD-related osteoporosis.

Safety of Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy in Childhood-Onset Craniopharyngioma: A Systematic Review and Cohort Study. Neuroendocrinology 2023; 113:987-1007.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Survival of childhood-onset craniopharyngioma (cCP) is excellent; however, many survivors suffer from hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. Growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) is of high importance for linear growth and metabolic outcome. Optimal timing for initiation of GHRT in cCP is on debate because of concerns regarding tumor progression or recurrence. METHODS A systematic review and cohort studys were performed for the effect and timing of GHRT on overall mortality, tumor progression/recurrence, and secondary tumors in cCP. Within the cohort, cCP receiving GHRT ≤1 year after diagnosis were compared to those receiving GHRT >1 year after diagnosis. RESULTS Evidence of 18 included studies, reporting on 6,603 cCP with GHRT, suggests that GHRT does not increase the risk for overall mortality, progression, or recurrent disease. One study evaluated timing of GHRT and progression/recurrence-free survival and found no increased risk with earlier initiation. One study reported a higher than expected prevalence of secondary intracranial tumors compared to a healthy population, possibly confounded by radiotherapy. In our cohort, 75 of 87 cCP (86.2%) received GHRT for median of 4.9 years [0.0-17.1]. No effect of timing of GHRT was found on mortality, progression/recurrence-free survival, or secondary tumors. CONCLUSION Although the quality of the evidence is low, the available evidence suggests no effect of GHRT or its timing on mortality, tumor progression/recurrence, or secondary neoplasms in cCP. These results support early initiation of GHRT in cCP aiming to optimize linear growth and metabolic outcome. Prospective studies are needed to increase the level of evidence upon the optimal timing to start GHRT in cCP patients.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors are aggressive tumors, with a high tendency to metastasize, that are observed most frequently in adolescents during rapid growth spurts. Pediatric patients with malignant bone sarcomas, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, who present with progressive disease have dire survival rates despite aggressive therapy. These therapies can have long-term effects on bone growth, such as decreased bone mineral density and reduced longitudinal growth. New therapeutic approaches are therefore urgently needed for targeting pediatric malignant bone tumors. Harnessing the power of the immune system against cancer has improved the survival rates dramatically in certain cancer types. Natural killer (NK) cells are a heterogeneous group of innate effector cells that possess numerous antitumor effects, such as cytolysis and cytokine production. Pediatric sarcoma cells have been shown to be especially susceptible to NK-cell-mediated killing. NK-cell adoptive therapy confers numerous advantages over T-cell adoptive therapy, including a good safety profile and a lack of major histocompatibility complex restriction. NK-cell immunotherapy has the potential to be a new therapy for pediatric malignant bone tumors. In this manuscript, we review the general characteristics of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, discuss the long-term effects of sarcoma treatment on bones, and the barriers to effective immunotherapy in bone sarcomas. We then present the laboratory and clinical studies on NK-cell immunotherapy for pediatric malignant bone tumors. We discuss the various donor sources and NK-cell types, the engineering of NK cells and combinatorial treatment approaches that are being studied to overcome the current challenges in adoptive NK-cell therapy, while suggesting approaches for future studies on NK-cell immunotherapy in pediatric bone tumors.

Process Optimization and Efficacy Assessment of Standardized PRP for Tendinopathies in Sports Medicine: Retrospective Study of Clinical Files and GMP Manufacturing Records in a Swiss University Hospital.

[PMID: 37106596 PMCID: PMC10135571 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10040409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparations have recently become widely available in sports medicine, facilitating their use in regenerative therapy for ligament and tendon affections. Quality-oriented regulatory constraints for PRP manufacturing and available clinical experiences have underlined the critical importance of process-based standardization, a pre-requisite for sound and homogeneous clinical efficacy evaluation. This retrospective study (2013–2020) considered the standardized GMP manufacturing and sports medicine-related clinical use of autologous PRP for tendinopathies at the Lausanne University Hospital (Lausanne, Switzerland). This study included 48 patients (18–86 years of age, with a mean age of 43.4 years, and various physical activity levels), and the related PRP manufacturing records indicated a platelet concentration factor most frequently in the range of 2.0–2.5. The clinical follow-up showed that 61% of the patients reported favorable efficacy outcomes (full return to activity, with pain disappearance) following a single ultrasound-guided autologous PRP injection, whereas 36% of the patients required two PRP injections. No significant relationship was found between platelet concentration factor values in PRP preparations and clinical efficacy endpoints of the intervention. The results were in line with published reports on tendinopathy management in sports medicine, wherein the efficacy of low-concentration orthobiologic interventions appears to be unrelated to sport activity levels or to patient age and gender. Overall, this study confirmed the effectiveness of standardized autologous PRP preparations for tendinopathies in sports medicine. The results were discussed in light of the critical importance of protocol standardization for both PRP manufacturing and clinical administration to reduce biological material variability (platelet concentrations) and to enhance the robustness of clinical interventions (comparability of efficacy/patient improvement).

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is a polypeptide hormone with vital biological functions in bone cells. The abnormal expression of IGF-1 has a serious effect on bone growth, particularly bone remodeling. Evidence from animal models and human disease suggested that both IGF-1 deficiency and excess cause changes in bone remodeling equilibrium, resulting in profound alterations in bone mass and development. Here, we first introduced the functions and mechanisms of the members of IGFs in bone. Subsequently, the critical role of IGF-1 in the process of bone remodeling were emphasized from the aspects of bone resorption and bone formation respectively. This review explains the mechanism of IGF-1 in maintaining bone mass and bone homeostasis to a certain extent and provides a theoretical basis for further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acromegaly is a disorder characterized by IGF-1 excess due to autonomous GH secretion. In individuals without acromegaly, IGF-1 is not only influenced by GH secretion but is also sensitive to other factors including nutritional status, as evidenced by the inverted U-shaped association between BMI and IGF-1; in low-weight individuals (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and those who are obese, IGF-1 levels may be frankly low. It is not known if this same relationship between BMI and IGF-1 is also observed in acromegaly. METHODS Retrospective study including patients who underwent resection of a pituitary adenoma (n = 197) for either acromegaly (n = 32) or a nonfunctioning adenoma (NFPA, n = 165) at a large academic medical center between 1/1/2015 and 5/31/2021. RESULTS Median BMI in acromegaly was 30.8 kg/m2 (range 20.9-42.6 kg/m2). Percent upper limit of normal (%ULN) IGF-1 was 228.2% [159.0, 271.4] in acromegaly versus 32.2% [18.5, 50] in NFPA (p < 0.0001). There was a significant positive association between BMI and %ULN IGF-1 (R = 0.35, p < 0.05) in acromegaly. In contrast, there was no association between BMI and %ULN IGF-1 in the NFPA group as a whole (p = 0.22), but a significant inverse association between BMI and %ULN IGF-1 in NFPA patients with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 (rho = - 0.39, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION In contrast to individuals without acromegaly, BMI is significantly and positively associated with IGF-1 in acromegaly across the weight spectrum. Future studies are needed to determine if obese patients with acromegaly experience more significant symptoms related to their disease, or if patients with a low BMI may require different diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
Skeletal system toxicity due to lead exposure has attracted extensive attention in recent years, but few studies focus on the skeletal toxicity of lead in the early life stages of zebrafish. The endocrine system, especially the GH/IGF-1 axis, plays an important role in bone development and bone health of zebrafish in the early life. In the present study, we investigated whether lead acetate (PbAc) affected the GH/IGF-1 axis, thereby causing skeletal toxicity in zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to lead PbAc between 2 and 120 h post fertilization (hpf). At 120 hpf, we measured developmental indices, such as survival, deformity, heart rate, and body length, and assessed skeletal development by Alcian Blue and Alizarin Red staining and the expression levels of bone-related genes. The levels of GH and IGF-1 and the expression levels of GH/IGF-1 axis-related genes were also detected. Our data showed that the LC50 of PbAc for 120 h was 41 mg/L. Compared with the control group (0 mg/L PbAc), after PbAc exposure, the deformity rate increased, the heart rate decreased, and the body length was shortened at various time periods, in the 20-mg/L group at 120 hpf, the deformity rate increased by 50 fold, the heart rate decreased by 34%, and the body length shortened by 17%. PbAc altered cartilage structures and exacerbated bone loss in zebrafish embryos; in addition, PbAc exposure down-regulated the expression of chondrocyte (sox9a, sox9b), osteoblast (bmp2, runx2) and bone mineralization-related genes (sparc, bglap), and up-regulated the expression of osteoclast marker genes (rankl, mcsf). The GH level increased and the IGF-1 level declined significantly. The GH/IGF-1 axis related genes (ghra, ghrb, igf1ra, igf1rb, igf2r, igfbp2a, igfbp3, igfbp5b) were all decreased. These results suggested that PbAc inhibited the differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts and cartilage matrix, promoted the formation of osteoclasts, and ultimately induced cartilage defects and bone loss by disrupting the GH/IGF-1 axis.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor 2 gene (igf2) is thought to be a key factor that could regulate animal growth. In fish, few researchers have reported on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in igf2 and their association with growth traits. We screened the SNPs of igf2 from the spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) by Sanger sequencing and made an association between these SNPs with growth traits. The full-length complementary (c) DNA of igf2 was 1045 bp, including an open reading frame of 648 bp. The amino acid sequence of Igf2 contained a signal peptide, an IGF domain, and an IGF2_C domain. Multiple sequence alignment showed that the IGF domain and IGF2_C domain were conserved in vertebrates. The genome sequence of igf2 had a length of 6227 bp. Fourteen SNPs (13 in the introns and one in one of the exons) were found in the genome sequence of igf2. Four SNPs located in the intron were significantly associated with growth traits (p < 0.05). These results demonstrated that these SNPs could be candidate molecular markers for breeding programs in L. maculatus.

[PMID: 36878101 PMCID: PMC10006857 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
When broilers cannot adapt to a high-temperature environment through self-regulation, it will cause heat stress, resulting in a large number of deaths and substantial economic losses. Studies have shown that thermal manipulation (TM) during the embryonic stage can improve broilers' ability to resist heat stress later. However, different TM strategies produce different results on broilers' growth. In this study, yellow-feathered broiler eggs were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups between E10 and E18, which the control group was incubated at 37.8°C with 56% humidity, and the TM group was subjected to 39°C with 65% humidity. After hatching, all broilers were reared normally until slaughtered at 12 d of age (D12). During D1 to D12, body weight, feed intake, and body temperature were recorded. The results showed that TM significantly decreased (P < 0.05) the final body weight, weight gain, and average daily feed intake of broilers. Meanwhile, the serum levels of Triiodothyronine (T3) and free T3 were significantly decreased in the TM group (P < 0.05). The expressions of hepatic growth regulation-associated genes, growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor1, and 2 (IGF1 and IGF2) were significantly down-regulated in the TM group (P < 0.05). In addition, TM altered hepatic DNA methylation, resulting in a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the methylation of the IGF1 and GHR promoter regions. The above results indicated that TM during the embryonic stage decreased the serum thyroid hormone level and increased the methylation level of the IGF1 and GHR promoter regions to down-regulate the expression of growth-related genes, resulting in early growth inhibition of broilers.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) are a great hindrance to the readiness of the United States Armed Forces through lost duty time and reduced operational capabilities. While most musculoskeletal injuries result in return-to-duty/activity with no (functional) limitations, the healing process is often long. Long healing times coupled with the high frequency of musculoskeletal injuries make them a primary cause of lost/limited duty days. Thus, there exists an urgent, clinically unmet need for interventions to expedite tissue healing kinetics following musculoskeletal injuries to lessen their impact on military readiness and society as a whole. There exist several treatments with regulatory approval for other indications that have pro-regenerative/healing properties, but few have an approved indication for treating musculoskeletal injuries. With the immediate need for treatment options for musculoskeletal injuries, we propose a paradigm of Repurposing Existing Products to Accelerate Injury Recovery (REPAIR). Developing treatments via repurposing existing therapeutics for other indications has shown monumental advantages in both cost effectiveness and reduced time to bring to market compared to novel candidates. Thus, undertaking the needed research efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of promising REPAIR-themed candidates has the potential to enable near-term solutions for optimizing musculoskeletal injuries recovery, thereby addressing a top priority within the United States. Armed Forces. Herein, the REPAIR paradigm is presented, including example targets of opportunity as well as practical considerations for potential technical solutions for the translation of existing therapeutics into clinical practice for musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study changes in the composition and functions of the gut microbiota (GM) in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) using high-throughput sequencing. METHODS Thirty-three children with GHD diagnosed in Longgang District Maternity and Child Health Hospital were included in the disease group and 24 healthy children of the same age comprised the control group. Total DNA was extracted and amplified from stool samples obtained from all subjects. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the GM composition and functions. RESULTS The GM from the two groups of children showed significant differences in α-diversity (P < 0.05). In comparison with the control group, the abundance of the phylum Bacteroidetes was significantly higher (45.96% vs. 65.71%) while the Firmicutes count was significantly lower (47.09% vs. 25.20%). At the genus level, the abundance of Prevotella in the disease group was significantly higher (3.16% vs. 20.67%) and that of Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, Clostridium XlVa, and Megamonas was lower (6.576% vs. 1.75%; 4.51% vs. 0.80%; 5.08% vs. 2.02%, respectively). GM functions, including those involved in membrane_transport, energy_metabolism, poorly_characterized, metabolism_of_cofactors_and_vitamins, glycan_biosynthesis_and_metabolism, transcription, folding,_sorting,_and_degradation, were significantly altered in the disease group. The abundance of various GM components was correlated with endocrine hormone levels. CONCLUSION Significant alterations in the GM are seen in children with growth hormone deficiency, which may affect both energy metabolism and the levels of endocrine hormones, potentially leading to growth restriction.

Abstract
The repair of growth plate injuries is a highly complex process that involves precise spatiotemporal regulation of multiple cell types. While significant progress has been made in understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying growth plate injuries, effectively regulating this process to regenerate the injured growth plate cartilage remains a challenge. Tissue engineering technology has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for achieving tissue regeneration through the use of functional biological materials, seed cells and biological factors, and it is now widely applied to the regeneration of bone and cartilage. However, due to the unique structure and function of growth plate cartilage, distinct strategies are required for effective regeneration. Thus, this review provides an overview of current research on the application of tissue engineering to promote growth plate regeneration. It aims to elucidates the underlying mechanisms by which tissue engineering promotes growth plate regeneration and to provide novel insights and therapeutic strategies for future research on the regeneration of growth plate.

Abstract
Recently, the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus has made it a major chronic illness which poses a substantial threat to human health. The prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with diabetes mellitus has grown considerably. Diabetic bone disease is a secondary osteoporosis induced by diabetes mellitus. Patients with diabetic bone disease exhibit variable degrees of bone loss, low bone mineral density, bone microarchitecture degradation, and increased bone fragility with continued diabetes mellitus, increasing their risk of fracture and impairing their ability to heal after fractures. At present, there is extensive research interest in diabetic bone disease and many significant outcomes have been reported. However, there are no comprehensive review is reported. This review elaborates on diabetic bone disease in the aspects of characteristics, pathogenesis, and treatment.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the prevalent metabolic bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone quantity and/or quality and an increase in skeletal fragility, which increases susceptibility to fractures. Osteoporotic fractures severely affect the patients' quality of life and mortality. A plethora of evidences have suggested that the alterations in gut microbiome are associated with the changes in bone mass and microstructure. We summarized pre-clinical and clinical studies to elucidate the underlying mechanism of gut microbiota in osteoporosis. Probiotics, prebiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine may reverse the gut microbiota dysbiosis and consequently improve bone metabolism. However, the causality of gut microbiota on bone metabolism need to be investigated more in depth. In the present review, we focused on the potential mechanism of the microbiota-gut-bone axis and the positive therapeutic effect of probiotics, prebiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine on osteoporosis. Overall, the current scientific literatures support that the gut microbiota may be a novel therapeutic target in treatment of osteoporosis and fracture prevention.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a periodontal inflammatory condition that results from disrupted periodontal host-microbe homeostasis, manifested by the destruction of tooth-supporting structures, especially inflammatory alveolar bone loss. Osteoporosis is characterized by systemic deterioration of bone mass and microarchitecture. The roles of many systemic factors have been identified in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, including endocrine change, metabolic disorders, health-impaired behaviors and mental stress. The prevalence rate of osteoporotic fracture is in sustained elevation in the past decades. Recent studies suggest that individuals with concomitant osteoporosis are more vulnerable to periodontal impairment. Current reviews of worse periodontal status in the context of osteoporosis are limited, mainly centering on the impacts of menopausal and diabetic osteoporosis on periodontitis. Herein, this review article makes an effort to provide a comprehensive view of the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontitis, with a focus on clarifying how those risk factors in osteoporotic populations modify the alveolar bone homeostasis in the periodontitis niche.

Abstract
This 56-day research aimed to evaluate the recommended histidine requirement and the influence of dietary histidine levels on the protein and lipid metabolism of juvenile largemouth bass (Mieropterus salmoides). The initial weight of the largemouth bass was 12.33 ± 0.01 g, which was fed with six graded levels of histidine. The results showed that appropriate dietary histidine had a positive effect on growth, with a higher specific growth rate, final weight, weight gain rate, protein efficiency rate, and a lower feed conversion rate and feed intake rate being observed in 1.08-1.48% dietary histidine groups. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of GH, IGF-1, TOR, and S6 showed an increasing trend first and then declined, similar to the trend of the growth and protein content of the whole body composition. Meanwhile, dietary histidine levels could be sensed by the AAR signaling pathway, representing as downregulation of core genes of AAR signaling pathway with the increased dietary histidine levels, including GCN2, eIF2α, CHOP, ATF4, and REDD1. In addition, increased dietary histidine levels decreased the lipid content of the whole body and the liver by upregulating the mRNA levels of core genes of the PPARα signaling pathways, including PPARα, CPT1, L-FABP, and PGC1α. However, increased dietary histidine levels downregulated the mRNA levels of core genes of the PPARγ signaling pathways such as PPARγ, FAS, ACC, SREBP1, and ELOVL2. These findings were also supported by the positive area ratio of hepatic oil red O staining and the TC content of plasma. According to the specific growth rate and feed conversion rate, the recommended histidine requirement of juvenile largemouth bass was 1.26% of the diet (2.68% of dietary protein) by regression lines calculated using a quadratic model. In general, histidine supplementation promoted protein synthesis and lipid decomposition and reduced lipid synthesis by activating the TOR, AAR, PPARα, and PPARγ signaling pathways, which provided a new perspective to solve the fatty liver problem of largemouth bass by nutritional means.

Abstract
Periodontitis involves the loss of connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone. Single cell RNA-seq experiments have provided new insight into how resident cells and infiltrating immune cells function in response to bacterial challenge in periodontal tissues. Periodontal disease is induced by a combined innate and adaptive immune response to bacterial dysbiosis that is initiated by resident cells including epithelial cells and fibroblasts, which recruit immune cells. Chemokines and cytokines stimulate recruitment of osteoclast precursors and osteoclastogenesis in response to TNF, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, RANKL and other factors. Inflammation also suppresses coupled bone formation to limit repair of osteolytic lesions. Bone lining cells, osteocytes and periodontal ligament cells play a key role in both processes. The periodontal ligament contains cells that exhibit similarities to tendon cells, osteoblast-lineage cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Bone lining cells consisting of mesenchymal stem cells, osteoprogenitors and osteoblasts are influenced by osteocytes and stimulate formation of osteoclast precursors through MCSF and RANKL, which directly induce osteoclastogenesis. Following bone resorption, factors are released from resorbed bone matrix and by osteoclasts and osteal macrophages that recruit osteoblast precursors to the resorbed bone surface. Osteoblast differentiation and coupled bone formation are regulated by multiple signaling pathways including Wnt, Notch, FGF, IGF-1, BMP, and Hedgehog pathways. Diabetes, cigarette smoking and aging enhance the pathologic processes to increase bone resorption and inhibit coupled bone formation to accelerate bone loss. Other bone pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis, post-menopausal osteoporosis and bone unloading/disuse also affect osteoblast lineage cells and participate in formation of osteolytic lesions by promoting bone resorption and inhibiting coupled bone formation. Thus, periodontitis involves the activation of an inflammatory response that involves a large number of cells to stimulate bone resorption and limit osseous repair processes.

Abstract
Background Locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition in which mobility decreases, and it is known as a risk factor for elderly persons needing care in connection with sarcopenia and frailty. Prevention or delay of the onset of these diseases is important for preventing the need for care, and identification of biomarkers as indicators for appropriate intervention is useful. The present study aimed to clarify whether the serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) level, which has been reported to be related to sarcopenia and frailty, is related to LS. Methods The study participants were 133 elderly people living in a rural area in Japan. LS was assessed using Locomo-25, which is a self-administered questionnaire, and LS was defined as a Locomo-25 score ≥ 7 points. Serum IGF-1 and albumin levels were measured. A self-completed medical history questionnaire was used. Results On multiple linear regression analysis, age, IGF-1, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis were significantly associated with the Locomo-25 score. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis of the IGF-1 level showed a threshold value of 82.0 ng/mL for discriminating non-LS and LS. The logistic regression analysis adjusted for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and the propensity score estimated from sex, age, and BMI showed that the odds ratio (OR) of the IGF-1 level for LS was 1.019 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.002–1.039; p = 0.027), and the OR of IGF-1 ≤ 82 ng/mL for LS was 2.275 (95% CI 0.993–5.324; p = 0.052). Conclusions The present findings suggest that osteoporosis and osteoarthritis were associated with early LS, and a decrease of the serum IGF-1 level was a significant independent factor for early LS.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) exerts an influence on almost every organ system in the body and plays an important role in growth, development, and metabolism. In the nervous system, IGF1 acts by promoting the development and growth of neurons and glial cells, differentiation of Schwann cells and their migration to axons, neurite outgrowth, and neuronal survival. The lack of IGF1 is associated with several pathological conditions, including severe prenatal growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, mental retardation, and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. In addition to its physiological effects, based on the findings of in vivo and in vitro experiments and clinical trials, IGF1 is considered to play a potential role in the treatment of various types of neuronal damage. In this review, we discuss the potential use of IGF1 as a therapeutic molecule in the nervous system: (1) auditory system, including hair cells, cochlear ribbon synapses, auditory nerve, and central nervous systems, and (2) other peripheral nervous systems, especially the olfactory system and facial nerve. The role of IGF1 in the progression of age-related sensory deficits, especially hearing loss and olfactory dysfunction, is also discussed. Recent studies on IGF1 demonstrated that exogenous IGF1 can be applied in many fields, thus supporting the continued evaluation of IGF1 as a potential therapeutic molecule. Additional scientific investigations should be conducted to further supplement recent findings.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) results from a reduction in bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration in bone tissue due to estrogen deficiency, which may increase the incidence of fragility fractures. The number of people suffering from PMO has increased over the years because of the rapidly aging population worldwide. However, several pharmacological agents for the treatment of PMO have many safety risks and impose a heavy financial burden to patients and society. In recent years, the "gut-bone" axis has been proposed as a new approach in the prevention and treatment of PMO. This paper reviews the relationship between the gut microbiota and PMO, which mainly includes the underlying mechanisms between hormones, immunity, nutrient metabolism, metabolites of the gut microbiota and intestinal permeability, and explores the possible role of the gut microbiota in these processes. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic effects of diet, prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation on the gut microbiota.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the ectopic localization of the endometrial tissue in the peritoneal cavity. Consequently, it causes local pathological changes and systemic symptoms, affecting at least one in every ten women. This disease is difficult to diagnose early, it is prone to dissemination, is difficult to eradicate, tends to recur, and is regarded as “a cancer of no kill”. Indeed, the development of endometriosis closely resembles that of cancer in the way of mutagenesis, pelvic spreading, and immunological adaptation. While retrograde menstruation has been regarded as the primary cause of endometriosis, the role of ovulation and menstrual stimuli in the development of endometriosis has long been overlooked. The development of ovarian and peritoneal endometrioses, similar to the development of high-grade serous carcinoma in the fallopian tube fimbriae with intraperitoneal metastasis, depends highly on the carcinogens released during ovulation. Moreover, endometriosis carries an extremely hypermutated genome, which is non-inferior to the ultra-mutated endometrial cancer. The hypermutation would lead to an overproduction of new proteins or neoantigens. Because of this, the developing endometriosis may have to turn on the PD-1/PDL-1 “self-tolerance” checkpoint to evade immune surveillance, leaving an Achilles tendon for an immune checkpoint blockade. In this review, we present the double engines and single checkpoint theory of the genesis of endometriosis, provide the current pieces of evidence supporting the hypothesis, and discuss the new directions of prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BackgroundThe geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been used as a significant tool to access the nutritional status of the elderly. However, the relationship between the GNRI and femur bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of osteoporosis remains unclear in American postmenopausal women.ObjectivesWe aimed to explore associations between the GNRI with femur BMD and the risk of osteoporosis in American postmenopausal women.MethodsWe merged the continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2006, 2007–2008, 2009–2010, 2013–2014, and 2017–2018 to ensure a large and representative sample, including 3,152 participants. The linear relationship between the GNRI and femur BMD was assessed via a weighted multivariate linear regression model. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the association between the GNRI and the risk of osteoporosis were assessed by a weighted logistic regression model. Moreover, the nonlinear relationship was also characterized by smooth curve fitting (SCF) and a weighted generalized additive model (GAM).ResultsAfter adjusting for all covariates, the weighted multivariable linear regression models demonstrated that the GNRI was positively correlated with femur BMD. The weighted logistic regression models demonstrated that each unit of increased GNRI value was associated with a decreased risk of osteoporosis of 4.13%. When categorizing GNRI based on quartiles, ORs between the risk of osteoporosis and the GNRI across quintiles 2, 3, and 4 compared with quintile 1 were 0.5565 (95% CI: 0.4791, 0.6463; P < 0.000001), 0.5580 (95% CI: 0.4600, 0.6769; P < 0.000001), and 0.3475 (95% CI: 0.2681, 0.4505; P < 0.000001). The trends similar to the above were also observed in SCF and GAM.ConclusionThis study indicated that nutritional status, represented by the GNRI, was positively associated with femur BMD and negatively associated with the risk of osteoporosis in American postmenopausal women. The GNRI may be a good tool to identify American postmenopausal women who need further bone health nutritional support.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal symptom, which brings a lot of pain and economic loss to patients. One of the most common causes of LBP is intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). However, pathogenesis is still debated, and therapeutic options are limited. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathways play an important role in regulating different cell processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, or cell death, which are critical to the homeostasis of tissues and organs. The IGF signaling is crucial in the occurrence and progression of IVDD. The activation of IGF signaling retards IVDD by increasing cell proliferation, promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis, inhibiting ECM decomposition, and preventing apoptosis and senescence of disc cells. However, abnormal activation of IGF signaling may promote the process of IVDD. IGF signaling is currently considered to have a promising treatment prospect for IVDD. An in-depth understanding of the role of IGF signaling in IVDD may help find a novel approach for IVDD treatment.

Abstract
The only treatment tested for growth hormone receptor (GHR) defective Laron Syndrome (LS) is injections of recombinant insulin-like-growth factor 1 (rhIGF1). The response is suboptimal and associated with progressive obesity. In this study, we treated 4–5-week-old Laron dwarf mice (GHR−/−) with an adeno-associated virus expressing murine GHR (AAV-GHR) injection at a dose of 4 × 1010 vector genome per mouse. Serum growth hormone (GH) levels decreased, and GH-responsive IGF1, IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) and acid labile subunit (ALS) increased. There was a significant but limited increase in body weight and length, similar to the response to rhIGF1 treatment in LS patients. All the major organs increased in weight except the brain. Our study is the first to use gene therapy to treat GH-receptor deficiency. We propose that gene therapy with AAV-GHR may eventually be useful for the treatment of human LS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The signaling axis consisting of GH-IGF1-IGFBP3 is the primary signal taht acts prepubertally to influence height development. Growth plate thinning and even premature closure have been reported in children with tumors treated with retinoid chemotherapy, resulting in long bone dysplasia. Growth failure may occur despite received GH treatment, but the reason is unknown. This study investigate the effect of high-dose all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the development of long bones in growing SD rats. METHODS A total of 20 three-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group (n = 10). Rats were treated by gavage with or without high-dose ATRA for 10 days. The body weights of the rats were recorded daily. At the end of the experiment, we measured the length of nose-tail and tibia, stained the tibia and liver for pathological tissue and RT-PCR reaction, and measured the levels of serum GH, IGF1 and IGFBP3, and so on. RESULTS Compared with controls, experimental rats exhibited reduced body weight and shortened nasal-tail and radial tibial length. Cyp26b1 enzyme activity in the liver was elevated, and histopathological staining revealed that the cartilaginous epiphyseal plate was narrowed, the medullary cavity of trabecular bone was sparse, the number of trabecular bones was decreased, trabecular separation was increased, bone marrow mineralization was enhanced, osteoclastic activity was increased, and circulating GH-IGF1-IGFBP3 levels were decreased. However, RT-PCR reaction results of localized proximal tibiae showed upregulation of IGF1 and downregulation of IGFBP3. CONCLUSIONS High-dose ATRA intake over a short period of time can reduce GH-IGF1-IGFBP3 levels, affect cartilage and bone homeostasis, and inhibit bone growth in developing animals.

Abstract
Bone health in transmen and transwomen is an important issue that needs to be evaluated by clinicians. Prior to gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT), transwomen have lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher prevalence of osteopenia than cismen probably related to external factors, such as hypovitaminosis D and less physical activities. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues in transgender youth may cause bone loss; however, the addition of GAHT restores or at least improves BMD in both transboys and transgirls. The maintenance or increase in BMD shown in short-term longitudinal studies emphasizes that GAHT does not have a negative effect on BMD in adult transwomen and transmen. Gonadectomy is not a risk factor if GAHT is taken correctly. The prevalence of fractures in the transgender population seems to be the same as in the general population but more studies are required on this aspect. To evaluate the risk of osteoporosis, it is mandatory to define the most appropriate reference group not only taking into consideration the medical aspects but also in respect of the selected gender identity of each person.

Abstract
Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two of the most common and challenging health problems worldwide and they affect each other mutually and adversely. Current periodontal therapies have unpredictable outcome in diabetic patients. Periodontal tissue engineering is a challenging but promising approach that aims at restoring periodontal tissues using one or all of the following: stem cells, signalling molecules and scaffolds. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) represent ideal examples of stem cells and signalling molecules. This review outlines the most recent updates in characterizing MSCs isolated from diabetics to fully understand why diabetics are more prone to periodontitis that theoretically reflect the impaired regenerative capabilities of their native stem cells. This characterisation is of utmost importance to enhance autologous stem cells based tissue regeneration in diabetic patients using both MSCs and members of IGF axis.

Abstract
Perspective: Musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues such as articular cartilage, menisci, tendons, and ligaments are often injured throughout life as a consequence of accidents. Joints can also become compromised due to the presence of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, there is a need to develop regenerative approaches to address such injuries to heterogeneous tissues and ones that occur in heterogeneous environments. Such injuries can compromise both the biomechanical integrity and functional capability of these tissues. Thus, there are several challenges to overcome in order to enhance success of efforts to repair and regenerate damaged MSK tissues. Challenges: 1. MSK tissues arise during development in very different biological and biomechanical environments. These early tissues serve as a template to address the biomechanical requirements evolving during growth and maturation towards skeletal maturity. Many of these tissues are heterogeneous and have transition points in their matrix. The heterogeneity of environments thus presents a challenge to replicate with regard to both the cells and the ECM. 2. Growth and maturation of musculoskeletal tissues occurs in the presence of anabolic mediators such as growth hormone and the IGF-1 family of proteins which decline with age and are low when there is a greater need for the repair and regeneration of injured or damaged tissues with advancing age. Thus, there is the challenge of re-creating an anabolic environment to enhance incorporation of implanted constructs. 3. The environments associated with injury or chronic degeneration of tissues are often catabolic or inflammatory. Thus, there is the challenge of creating a more favorable in vivo environment to facilitate the successful implantation of in vitro engineered constructs to regenerate damaged tissues. Conclusions: The goal of regenerating MSK tissues has to be to meet not only the biological requirements (components and structure) but also the heterogeneity of function (biomechanics) in vivo. Furthermore, for many of these tissues, the regenerative approach has to overcome the site of injury being influenced by catabolism/inflammation. Attempts to date using both endogenous cells, exogenous cells and scaffolds of various types have been limited in achieving long term outcomes, but progress is being made.

Abstract
Biomimetic calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) as a bioactive material exhibits exceptional intrinsic osteoinductive and osteogenic properties because of its nanostructure and composition, which promote a favorable microenvironment. Its high reactivity has been hypothesized to play a relevant role in the in vivo performance, mediated by the interaction with the biological fluids, which is amplified by its high specific surface area. Paradoxically, this high reactivity is also behind the in vitro cytotoxicity of this material, especially pronounced in static conditions. The present work explores the structural and physicochemical changes that CDHA undergoes in contact with physiological fluids and to investigate its interaction with proteins. Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite discs with different micro/nanostructures, coarse (C) and fine (F), were exposed to cell-free complete culture medium over extended periods of time: 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 50 days. Precipitate formation was not observed in any of the materials in contact with the physiological fluid, which would indicate that the ionic exchanges were linked to incorporation into the crystal structure of CDHA or in the hydrated layer. In fact, CDHA experienced a maturation process, with a progressive increase in crystallinity and the Ca/P ratio, accompanied by an uptake of Mg and a B-type carbonation process, with a gradual propagation into the core of the samples. However, the reactivity of biomimetic hydroxyapatite was highly dependent on the specific surface area and was amplified in nanosized needle-like crystal structures (F), whereas in coarse specimens the ionic exchanges were restricted to the surface, with low penetration in the material bulk. In addition to showing a higher protein adsorption on F substrates, the proteomics study revealed the existence of protein selectivity toward F or C microstructures, as well as the capability of CDHA, and more remarkably of F-CDHA, to concentrate specific proteins from the culture medium. Finally, a substantial improvement in the material's ability to support cell proliferation was observed after the CDHA maturation process.

Abstract
We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the association of body composition with fracture risk using longitudinal data from a Swedish cohort of 44,366 women and men (mean age of 70 years) and a subcohort of 5022 women. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) of fracture for baseline body mass index (BMI), BMI change during the prior 12 and 18 years, baseline waist-to-height ratio, total and regional distribution of fat and lean mass, with and without areal bone mineral density (BMD) adjustment. During follow-up (median 8.7 years), 7290 individuals sustained a fracture, including 4279 fragility fractures, of which 1813 were hip fractures. Higher baseline BMI and prior gain in BMI were inversely associated with all types of fracture. Lower fracture rate with higher baseline BMI was seen within every category of prior BMI change, whereas higher prior BMI gain conferred a lower rate of fracture within those with normal baseline BMI. Each standard deviation (SD) higher baseline waist-to-height ratio, after adjustment for BMI, was associated with higher rates of hip fracture in both women and men (HR 1.12; 95% CI, 1.05-1.19). In the subcohort (median follow-up 10 years), higher baseline fat mass index (FMI) and appendicular lean mass index (LMI) showed fracture-protective effects. After BMD adjustment, higher baseline BMI, total LMI, FMI, and higher prior BMI gain were associated with higher fracture rate. Baseline fat distribution also was associated with fracture rate; a 1-SD higher android to gynoid fat mass ratio in prior BMI gainers was associated with BMD-adjusted HRs of 1.16 (95% CI, 1.05-1.28) for any fracture and 1.48 (95% CI, 1.16-1.89) for hip fracture. This pattern was not observed among prior BMI losers. These findings indicate that for optimal fracture prevention, low baseline BMI, prior BMI loss and high baseline central obesity should be avoided in both women and men. © 2021 The Authors.

[PMID: 34183049 PMCID: PMC8240389 DOI: 10.1186/s13100-021-00246-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular markers based on retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) have been developed and are widely used in plants and animals. Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) exert wide impacts on gene activity and even on phenotypes. However, SINE RIP profiles in livestock remain largely unknown, and not be revealed in pigs. RESULTS Our data revealed that SINEA1 displayed the most polymorphic insertions (22.5 % intragenic and 26.5 % intergenic), followed by SINEA2 (10.5 % intragenic and 9 % intergenic) and SINEA3 (12.5 % intragenic and 5.0 % intergenic). We developed a genome-wide SINE RIP mining protocol and obtained a large number of SINE RIPs (36,284), with over 80 % accuracy and an even distribution in chromosomes (14.5/Mb), and 74.34 % of SINE RIPs generated by SINEA1 element. Over 65 % of pig SINE RIPs overlap with genes, most of them (> 95 %) are in introns. Overall, about one forth (23.09 %) of the total genes contain SINE RIPs. Significant biases of SINE RIPs in the transcripts of protein coding genes were observed. Nearly half of the RIPs are common in these pig breeds. Sixteen SINE RIPs were applied for population genetic analysis in 23 pig breeds, the phylogeny tree and cluster analysis were generally consistent with the geographical distributions of native pig breeds in China. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis revealed that SINEA1-3 elements, particularly SINEA1, are high polymorphic across different pig breeds, and generate large-scale structural variations in the pig genomes. And over 35,000 SINE RIP markers were obtained. These data indicate that young SINE elements play important roles in creating new genetic variations and shaping the evolution of pig genome, and also provide strong evidences to support the great potential of SINE RIPs as genetic markers, which can be used for population genetic analysis and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in pig.

SINE Insertion in the Intron of Pig GHR May Decrease Its Expression by Acting as a Repressor. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11071871. [PMID: 34201672 PMCID: PMC8300111 DOI: 10.3390/ani11071871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary GH/IGF axis genes play a central role in the regulation of skeletal accretion during development and growth, and thus represent candidate genes for growth traits. Retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms are major contributors to structural variations. They tend to generate large effect mutations resulting in variations in target gene activity and phenotype due to the fact that they carry functional elements, such as enhancers, insulators, or promoters. In the present study, RIPs in four GH/IGF axis genes (GH, GHR, IGF1, and IGF1R) were investigated by comparative genomics and PCR. Four RIPs in the GHR gene and one RIP in the IGF1 gene were identified. Further analysis revealed that one RIP in the first intron of GHR might play a role in the regulation of GHR expression by acting as a repressor. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role of RIPs in the genetic variation of GH/IGF axis genes and phenotypic variation in pigs. Abstract The genetic diversity of the GH/IGF axis genes and their association with the variation of gene expression and phenotypic traits, principally represented by SNPs, have been extensively reported. Nevertheless, the impact of retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) on the GH/IGF axis gene activity has not been reported. In the present study, bioinformatic prediction and PCR verification were performed to screen RIPs in four GH/IGF axis genes (GH, GHR, IGF1 and IGF1R). In total, five RIPs, including one SINE RIP in intron 3 of IGF1, one L1 RIP in intron 7 of GHR, and three SINE RIPs in intron 1, intron 5 and intron 9 of GHR, were confirmed by PCR, displaying polymorphisms in diverse breeds. Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that the SINE insertion in intron 1 of GHR significantly repressed the GHR promoter activity in PK15, Hela, C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells. Furthermore, qPCR results confirmed that this SINE insertion was associated with a decreased expression of GHR in the leg muscle and longissimus dorsi, indicating that it may act as a repressor involved in the regulation of GHR expression. In summary, our data revealed that RIPs contribute to the genetic variation of GH/IGF axis genes, whereby one SINE RIP in the intron 1 of GHR may decrease the expression of GHR by acting as a repressor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is primarily synthesized by hepatocytes in a growth hormone (GH)-dependent manner, it is also produced by bone and muscle. The effects of exercise on the associations between IGF-1 levels and bone turnover markers (BTM) were found in the previous studies. However, the associations between the levels of IGF-1 and BTM, liver function tests, and skeletal muscle markers in adults with general physical activity were not clear. METHODS Ninety-four participants were recruited from healthy survey. Blood samples were collected to analyze the levels of IGF-1, total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (T-Bil), direct bilirubin (D-Bil), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatinine (CRTN), and glucose. Urine samples were collected to analyze the CRTN and deoxypyridinoline (Dpd) levels. RESULTS The positively significant associations were found between the IGF-1 levels and the levels of ALP, BALP, and CK, respectively. No significant associations were found between the IGF-1 levels and the levels of TP, Alb, A/G, T-Bil, D-Bil, AST, ALT, LDH, glucose, urinary CRTN, urinary Dpd, and Dpd/CRTN ratios, respectively. CONCLUSION The serum IGF-1 levels associated with the levels of skeletal muscle and bone formation markers (BFM), not the bone resorption markers under general physical activity in the healthy adults. The physician needs to consider the effects of bone formation and skeletal muscle markers on the IGF-1 levels in the management of IGF-1-related disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The insulin-like growth factor family of ligands (IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin), receptors (IGF-IR, M6P/IGF-IIR, and insulin receptor [IR]), and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1-6) play critical roles in normal human physiology and disease states. SCOPE OF REVIEW Insulin and insulin receptors are the focus of other chapters in this series and will therefore not be discussed further. Here we review the basic components of the IGF system, their role in normal physiology and in critical pathology's. While this review concentrates on the role of IGFs in human physiology, animal models have been essential in providing understanding of the IGF system, and its regulation, and are briefly described. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS IGF-I has effects via the circulation and locally within tissues to regulate cellular growth, differentiation, and survival, thereby controlling overall body growth. IGF-II levels are highest prenatally when it has important effects on growth. In adults, IGF-II plays important tissue-specific roles, including the maintenance of stem cell populations. Although the IGF-IR is closely related to the IR it has distinct physiological roles both on the cell surface and in the nucleus. The M6P/IGF-IIR, in contrast, is distinct and acts as a scavenger by mediating internalization and degradation of IGF-II. The IGFBPs bind IGF-I and IGF-II in the circulation to prolong their half-lives and modulate tissue access, thereby controlling IGF function. IGFBPs also have IGF ligand-independent cell effects.

Abstract
Exposure to low temperatures can be considered a stressor, which when applied for a specific time can lead to adaptive reactions. In our study we hypothesized that cold, when applied to the entire body, may be a factor that positively modifies the aging process of bones by improving the mechanisms related to the body's mineral balance. Taking the above into account, the aim of the study was to determine the concentration of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) in bones, and to examine bone density and concentrations of the key hormones for bone metabolism, namely parathyroid hormone (PTH), somatotropin (GH), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 17-β estradiol, testosterone (T) in plasma, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the bone of aging rats subjected to physical training in cold water. The animals in the experiment were subjected to a series of swimming sessions for nine weeks. Study group animals (male and female respectively) performed swimming training in cold water at 5 ± 2 °C and in water with thermal comfort temperature (36 ± 2 °C). Control animals were kept in a sedentary condition. Immersion in cold water affects bone mineral metabolism in aging rats by changing the concentration of Ca, Mg, and P in the bone, altering bone mineral density and the concentration of key hormones involved in the regulation of bone mineral metabolism. The effect of cold-water immersion may be gender-dependent. In females, it decreases Ca and Mg content in bones while increasing bone density and 17-β estradiol and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels, and with a longer perspective in aging animals may be positive not only for bone health but also other estrogen-dependent tissues. In males, cold water swimming decreased PTH and PGE2 which resulted in a decrease in phosphorus content in bones (with no effect on bone density), an increase in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, and increase in T and GH, and may have positive consequences especially in bones and muscle tissue for the prevention of elderly sarcopenia.
