Abstract
Healing of fractures or bone defects is significantly hindered by overactivated osteoclasts and inhibited osteogenesis in patients with abnormal bone metabolism. Current clinical approaches using titanium alloys or stainless steel provide mechanical support but have no biological effects on bone regeneration. Therefore, designing and fabricating degradable metal materials with sufficient mechanical strength and bidirectional regulation of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts is a substantial challenge. Here, this study first reported an adaptive biodegradable Zn-0.8 Mg alloy with bidirectional regulation of bone homeostasis, which promotes osteogenic differentiation by activating the Pi3k/Akt pathway and inhibits osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting the GRB2/ERK pathway. The anti-osteolytic ability of the Zn-0.8 Mg alloy was verified in a mouse calvarial osteolysis model and its suitability for internal fracture fixation with high-strength screws was confirmed in the rabbit femoral condyle fracture model. Furthermore, in an aged postmenopausal rat femoral condyle defect model, 3D printed Zn-0.8 Mg scaffolds promoted excellent bone regeneration through adaptive structures with good mechanical properties and bidirectionally regulated bone metabolism, enabling personalized bone defect repair. These findings demonstrate the substantial potential of the Zn-0.8 Mg alloy for treating fractures or bone defects in patients with aberrant bone metabolism.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155587. [PMID: 38608598 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155587] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a prevalent metabolic bone disease in older adults. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (PPARβ), the most abundant PPAR isotype expressed in bone tissues, plays a critical role in regulating the energy metabolism of osteoblasts. However, the botanical compounds targeting PPARβ for the treatment of osteoporosis remain largely unexplored. PURPOSE To discover a potent PPARβ agonist from botanical compounds, as well as to investigate the anti-osteoporosis effects and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the newly identified PPARβ agonist. METHODS The PPARβ agonist effects of botanical compounds were screened by an in vitro luciferase reporter gene assay. The PPARβ agonist effects of pectolinarigenin (PEC) in bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) were validated by Western blotting. RNA-seq transcriptome analyses were conducted to reveal the underlying osteoporosis mechanisms of PEC in BMSCs. The PPARβ antagonist (GSK0660) and Wnt signaling inhibitor (XAV969) were used to explore the role of the PPARβ and Wnt signaling cascade in the anti-osteoporosis effects of PEC. PEC or the PEG-PLGA nanoparticles of PEC (PEC-NP) were intraperitoneally administrated in both wild-type mice and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mice to examine its anti-osteoporotic effects in vivo. RESULTS PEC, a newly identified naturally occurring PPARβ agonist, significantly promotes osteogenic differentiation and up-regulates the osteogenic differentiation-related genes (Runx2, Osterix, and Bmp2) in BMSCs. RNA sequencing and functional gene enrichment analysis suggested that PEC could activate osteogenic-related signaling pathways, including Wnt and PPAR signaling pathways. Further investigations suggested that PEC could enhance Wnt/β-catenin signaling in a PPARβ-dependent manner in BMSCs. Animal tests showed that PEC-NP promoted bone mass and density, increased the bone cell matrix protein, and accelerated bone formation in wild-type mice, while PEC-NP also played a preventive role in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mice via maintaining the expression level of bone cell matrix protein, balancing the rate of bone formation, and slowing down bone loss. Additionally, PEC-NP did not cause any organ injury and body weight loss after long-term use (11 weeks). CONCLUSION PEC significantly promotes bone formation and reduces bone loss in both BMSCs and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mice via enhancing the Wnt signaling cascade in a PPARβ-dependent manner, providing a new alternative therapy for preventing estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporotic diseases.

Association of coffee and tea consumption with osteoporosis risk: A prospective study from the UK biobank. Bone 2024:117135. [PMID: 38821386 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association of coffee and tea consumption with osteoporosis is highly controversial, and few studies have focused on the combined effects of the two beverages. This study aimed to investigate the independent and combined associations of coffee and tea consumption with osteoporosis risk. METHODS A prospective cohort study involving 487,594 participants aged 38-73 years from the UK Biobank was conducted. Participants with reported coffee and tea consumption and without osteoporosis at baseline were included. Coffee and tea consumption were assessed via a touch-screen questionnaire at baseline. Newly diagnosed osteoporosis during the follow-up period, defined based on ICD-10 codes (M80-M82), was the primary outcome. Cox regression analyses were utilized to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Dose-effect associations were assessed using restricted cubic spline analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.8 years, 15,211 cases of osteoporosis were identified. Compared to individuals without coffee or tea consumption, drinking coffee was associated with an HR of 0.93 (95 % CI: 0.89-0.96), and tea consumption with an HR of 0.86 (95 % CI: 0.83-0.90). Continuous trends were significant for both coffee and tea consumption, showing non-linear associations with osteoporosis incidence. Moderate consumption, such as 1-2 cups of coffee or 3-4 cups of tea per day, was associated with a lower incidence of osteoporosis, with HRs of 0.9 (95 % CI: 0.86-0.94) and 0.85 (95 % CI: 0.81-0.90), respectively. Additionally, combined coffee and tea consumption displayed a U-shaped association with osteoporosis risk, with the lowest risk observed in individuals who consumed 1-2 cups of both beverages daily, with an HR of 0.68 (95 % CI: 0.61-0.75). CONCLUSION Our findings highlight the potential benefits of moderate coffee and tea consumption in reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered high-risk group for osteoporosis. However, the current understanding of their knowledge, attitude, and practice toward osteoporosis remains unclear. CKD patients were recruited from Li Huili Hospital, Ningbo Medical Center between March 2023 and June 2023. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the participant's demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitude, and practice toward osteoporosis. A total of 500 valid questionnaires were included in the analysis, with participants aged 51.08 ± 14.76 years. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 6.67 ± 3.04 (range: 0-11), 33.99 ± 3.37 (range: 10-50), and 35.29 ± 5.54 (range: 9-45), respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between knowledge and attitude scores (r = 0.440, P < .001), knowledge and practice scores (r = 0.376, P < .001), as well as attitude and practice scores (r = 0.403, P < .001). Structural equation modeling revealed direct associations between knowledge and attitude (path coefficient = 0.488, P < .001), and between attitude and practice (path coefficient = 0.485, P < .001). The knowledge also exhibited a directly positive effect on practice (path coefficient = 0.449, P < .001). Undergoing glucocorticoid therapy (odd ratio [OR] = 2.353, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.022-5.418, P = .044) and osteoporosis osteoporosis (OR = 1.565, 95% CI: 1.011-2.421, P = .044) were positively associated with knowledge. Moreover, disease duration >1 year was positively associated with practice (OR = 3.643, 95% CI: 1.754-7.565, P < .001). CKD patients demonstrated moderate knowledge, neutral attitude, and moderate practice toward osteoporosis. To address the practice gaps of CKD patients toward osteoporosis, targeted educational interventions and attitude support programs can be developed.

Abstract
As the world population ages, osteoporosis, the most common disease of bone metabolism, affects more than 200 million people worldwide. The etiology is an imbalance in bone remodeling process resulting in more significant bone resorption than bone remodeling. With the advent of the osteoimmunology field, the immune system's role in skeletal pathologies is gradually being discovered. The cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a member of the interferon family, is an important factor in the etiology and treatment of osteoporosis because it mediates bone remodeling. This review starts with bone remodeling process and includes the cellular and key signaling pathways of bone remodeling. The effects of IFN-γ on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone mass are discussed separately, while the overall effects of IFN-γ on primary and secondary osteoporosis are summarized. The net effect of IFN-γ on bone appears to be highly dependent on the environment, dose, concentration, and stage of cellular differentiation. This review focuses on the mechanisms of bone remodeling and bone immunology, with a comprehensive discussion of the relationship between IFN-γ and osteoporosis. Finding the paradoxical balance of IFN-γ in bone immunology and exploring the potential of its clinical application provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis and drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of global overconsumption of simple sugars on bone health, which peaks in adolescence/early adulthood and correlates with osteoporosis (OP) and fracture risk decades, is unclear. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are the progenitors of osteoblasts/bone-forming cells, and known to decrease their osteogenic differentiation capacity with age. Alarmingly, while there is correlative evidence that adolescents consuming greatest amounts of simple sugars have the lowest bone mass, there is no mechanistic understanding on the causality of this correlation. METHODS Bioinformatics analyses for energetics pathways involved during MSC differentiation using human cell information was performed. In vitro dissection of normal versus high glucose (HG) conditions on osteo-/adipo-lineage commitment and mitochondrial function was assessed using multi-sources of non-senescent human and murine MSCs; for in vivo validation, young mice was fed normal or HG-added water with subsequent analyses of bone marrow CD45- MSCs. RESULTS Bioinformatics analyses revealed mitochondrial and glucose-related metabolic pathways as integral to MSC osteo-/adipo-lineage commitment. Functionally, in vitro HG alone without differentiation induction decreased both MSC mitochondrial activity and osteogenesis while enhancing adipogenesis by 8 h' time due to depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital mitochondrial co-enzyme and co-factor to Sirtuin (SIRT) 1, a longevity gene also involved in osteogenesis. In vivo, HG intake in young mice depleted MSC NAD+, with oral NAD+ precursor supplementation rapidly reversing both mitochondrial decline and osteo-/adipo-commitment in a SIRT1-dependent fashion within 1 ~ 5 days. CONCLUSIONS We found a surprisingly rapid impact of excessive glucose, a single dietary factor, on MSC SIRT1 function and osteogenesis in youthful settings, and the crucial role of NAD+-a single molecule-on both MSC mitochondrial function and lineage commitment. These findings have strong implications on future global OP and disability risks in light of current worldwide overconsumption of simple sugars.

Abstract
Disulfidptosis, a newly recognized cell death triggered by disulfide stress, has garnered attention for its potential role in osteoporosis (OP) pathogenesis. Although sulfide-related proteins are reported to regulate the balance of bone metabolism in OP, the precise involvement of disulfidptosis regulators remains elusive. Herein, leveraging the GSE56815 dataset, we conducted an analysis to delineate disulfidptosis-associated diagnostic clusters and immune landscapes in OP. Subsequently, vertebral bone tissues obtained from OP patients and controls were subjected to RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) for the validation of key disulfidptosis gene expression. Our analysis unveiled seven significant disulfidptosis regulators, including FLNA, ACTB, PRDX1, SLC7A11, NUBPL, OXSM, and RAC1, distinguishing OP samples from controls. Furthermore, employing a random forest model, we identified four diagnostic disulfidptosis regulators including FLNA, SLC7A11, NUBPL, and RAC1 potentially predictive of OP risk. A nomogram model integrating these four regulators was constructed and validated using the GSE35956 dataset, demonstrating promising utility in clinical decision-making, as affirmed by decision curve analysis. Subsequent consensus clustering analysis stratified OP samples into two different disulfidptosis subgroups (clusters A and B) using significant disulfidptosis regulators, with cluster B exhibiting higher disulfidptosis scores and implicating monocyte immunity, closely linked to osteoclastogenesis. Notably, RNA-seq analysis corroborated the expression patterns of two disulfidptosis modulators, PRDX1 and OXSM, consistent with bioinformatics predictions. Collectively, our study sheds light on disulfidptosis patterns, offering potential markers and immunotherapeutic avenues for future OP management.

Abstract
In the osteoporotic microenvironment, the acidic microenvironment generated by excessive osteoclasts not only causes irreversible bone mineral dissolution, but also promotes reactive oxygen species (ROS) production to induce osteoblast senescence and excessive receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) production, which help to generate more osteoclasts. Hence, targeting the acidic microenvironment and RANKL production may break this vicious cycle to rescue osteoporosis. To achieve this, an acid-responsive and neutralizing system with high in vivo gene editing capacity is developed by loading sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and RANKL-CRISPR/Cas9 (RC) plasmid in a metal-organic framework. This results showed ZIF8-NaHCO3@Cas9 (ZNC) effective neutralized acidic microenvironment and inhibited ROS production . Surprisingly, nanoparticles loaded with NaHCO3 and plasmids show higher transfection efficiency in the acidic environments as compared to the ones loaded with plasmid only. Finally, micro-CT proves complete reversal of bone volume in ovariectomized mice after ZNC injection into the bone remodeling site. Overall, the newly developed nanoparticles show strong effect in neutralizing the acidic microenvironment to achieve bone protection through promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting osteolysis in a bidirectional manner. This study provides new insights into the treatment of osteoporosis for biomedical and clinical therapies.

Twelve-month resistance and impact exercise program or risedronate provides a relative benefit to hip bone structure in postmenopausal women: results from a randomized controlled trial. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:877-891. [PMID: 38368307 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-07008-x] [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: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Bone strength estimates are important for fracture prevention. This study compared bone strength changes in postmenopausal women with low bone mass who were assigned to 12 months of exercise, a bone medication, or control. Exercise and bone medications benefited structure at the hip. Structure should be considered in fracture prevention research. PURPOSE Exercise and bisphosphonates reduce fracture risk, but their impact on estimates of bone strength remains uncertain. This study compared changes in tibial bone strength using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and hip structure analysis (HSA) outcomes from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans in postmenopausal women with low bone mass assigned to 12 months of exercise, risedronate, or control. METHODS In this RCT, 276 postmenopausal women within 6 years of menopause were randomly assigned to three groups: exercise (92), risedronate (91), or control (93). Exercise included weighted jogging and progressive resistance exercises; risedronate treatment was 150 mg monthly; all groups received calcium and vitamin D. pQCT and DXA images were obtained at baseline and 6 and 12 months and compared between groups over time. RESULTS Participants had a mean (± SD) age of 54.5 (± 3.2) years with an average of 36.7 (± 40.7) months postmenopause. No significant differences were found between groups for the change in pQCT outcomes (volumetric bone mineral density, area, and strength estimates). At 12 months, mean percent differences (95% CI) in HSA measures between exercise and controls were as follows: intertrochanteric, cross-sectional area 2.25% (0.28, 4.12) (p = .03), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) 5.67% (1.47, 9.87) (p < .01), and section modulus (SM) 4.38% (1.02, 7.74) (p = .01), and narrow neck, average cortical thickness 2.37% (-0.08, 4.83) (p = .031). Mean percent differences (95% CI) in HSA measures between risedronate and control were as follows: intertrochanteric, CSMI 4.28% (-0.24, 8.81) (p = .03) and SM 3.35% (-0.21, 6.91) (p = .03), and shaft, subperiosteal width 0.82% (0.05, 1.58) (p = .047), CSMI 2.53% (0.88, 4.18) (p = .004), and SM 1.57% (0.34, 2.8) (p = .008). Exercise maintained neck-shaft angle compared to both control 1.27% (0.13, 2.41) (p = .04) and risedronate 1.31% (0.23, 2.39) (p = .03). All other differences for changes in HSA outcomes over time were not significantly different between the exercise and risedronate groups. CONCLUSION Exercise and bisphosphonates may influence structural and strength estimates at the hip, but not at peripheral sites (tibia). Neither exercise nor bisphosphonates were found to be superior in improving estimates of hip bone strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can undergo inadequate osteogenesis or excessive adipogenesis as they age due to changes in the bone microenvironment, ultimately resulting in decreased bone density and elevated risk of fractures in senile osteoporosis. This study aims to investigate the effects of osteocyte senescence on the bone microenvironment and its influence on BMSCs during aging. RESULTS Primary osteocytes were isolated from 2-month-old and 16-month-old mice to obtain young osteocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (YO-EVs) and senescent osteocyte-derived EVs (SO-EVs), respectively. YO-EVs were found to significantly increase alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization deposition, and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes in BMSCs, while SO-EVs promoted BMSC adipogenesis. Neither YO-EVs nor SO-EVs exerted an effect on the osteoclastogenesis of primary macrophages/monocytes. Our constructed transgenic mice, designed to trace osteocyte-derived EV distribution, revealed abundant osteocyte-derived EVs embedded in the bone matrix. Moreover, mature osteoclasts were found to release osteocyte-derived EVs from bone slices, playing a pivotal role in regulating the functions of the surrounding culture medium. Following intravenous injection into young and elderly mouse models, YO-EVs demonstrated a significant enhancement of bone mass and biomechanical strength compared to SO-EVs. Immunostaining of bone sections revealed that YO-EV treatment augmented the number of osteoblasts on the bone surface, while SO-EV treatment promoted adipocyte formation in the bone marrow. Proteomics analysis of YO-EVs and SO-EVs showed that tropomyosin-1 (TPM1) was enriched in YO-EVs, which increased the matrix stiffness of BMSCs, consequently promoting osteogenesis. Specifically, the siRNA-mediated depletion of Tpm1 eliminated pro-osteogenic activity of YO-EVs both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that YO-EVs played a crucial role in maintaining the balance between bone resorption and formation, and their pro-osteogenic activity declining with aging. Therefore, YO-EVs and the delivered TPM1 hold potential as therapeutic targets for senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is characterized by an imbalance in bone homeostasis, resulting in the excessive dissolution of bone minerals due to the acidified microenvironment mediated by overactive osteoclasts. Oroxylin A (ORO), a natural flavonoid, has shown potential in reversing osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The limited water solubility and lack of targeting specificity hinder the effective accumulation of Oroxylin A within the pathological environment of osteoporosis. RESULTS Osteoclasts' microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles are prepared by incorporating Oroxylin A with amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and coated with glutamic acid hexapeptide-modified phospholipids, aiming at reinforcing the drug delivery efficiency as well as therapeutic effect. The obtained smart nanoparticles, coined as OAPLG, could instantly neutralize acid and release Oroxylin A in the extracellular microenvironment of osteoclasts. The combination of Oroxylin A and ACC synergistically inhibits osteoclast formation and activity, leading to a significant reversal of systemic bone loss in the ovariectomized mice model. CONCLUSION The work highlights an intelligent nanoplatform based on ACC for spatiotemporally controlled release of lipophilic drugs, and illustrates prominent therapeutic promise against osteoporosis.

Cistanche deserticola improves ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis mainly by regulating lipid metabolism: Insights from serum metabolomics using UPLC/Q-TOF-MS. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 322:117570. [PMID: 38110131 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117570] [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: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cistanche deserticola (C. deserticola) is an edible and traditional medicine widely used in China, which has been confirmed to be effective in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Despite its proven efficacy, the exact role of C. deserticola in bone metabolism and its underlying mechanism has remained unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY In this research, we employed an in vivo model utilizing ovariectomized (OVX) rats to characterize the anti-osteoporotic activity and metabolic mechanism of the ethanol extract of C. deserticola (CHE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups including sham operation group, model group, 0.1 g/kg estradiol valerate (EV) group as the positive control, low (0.6 g/kg) and high (1.2 g/kg) dosage CHE groups. Biochemical parameter analyses and histopathological experiments were conducted to assess the pharmacodynamic effects. Metabolomic analysis was conducted on serum samples to examine the metabolic profiles, identify potential biomarkers, and elucidate the metabolic pathways associated with CHE in OVX rats. RESULTS CHE treatment demonstrated significant anti-osteoporosis activity by regulating serum biochemical markers of bone turnover, improving cancellous bone structure, and reversing the decrease in bone mineral density. Furthermore, the clinical equivalent dose group (CHL) achieved superior overall outcomes. The main interventions of CHE on OVX rats involved the modulation of several key pathways, including steroid hormone biosynthesis, arachidonic acid metabolism, tyrosine and tryptophan metabolism, biotin metabolism, regulation of TRP channels by inflammatory mediators, primary bile acid biosynthesis, regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, and bile secretion. 23 potential efficacy-related biomarkers within the metabolic network were identified. Among them, long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (eg. DHA and docosapentaenoic acid), steroid hormones, amino acids and carbohydrates were strongly correlated with bone resorption and formation markers. Additionally, it was observed four pathways (nucleotide, carbon, amino acid, and lipid metabolism) were implicated in the effects of CHE. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that CHE improves bone loss in PMOP mainly through regulating lipid metabolism pathways, which provides an evidence base for CHE treatment of PMOP.

Abstract
Education level may have some association with the incidence of osteoporosis, but it is elusive if this association is causal. This two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis focused on the causal effect of education level on femoral neck bone mineral density (FN-BMD), forearm BMD, lumbar spine BMD, and heel BMD. Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms were used as instrumental variables. The results suggested that high education level was associated with improved FN-BMD (beta-estimate: 0.406, 95% confidence interval: 0.061 to 0.751, standard error: 0.176, P-value = .021). There were null association between education and other sites of bone mineral density. Our results found the causal effect of high education level on improved FN-BMD, and improved educational attainment may be beneficial to prevent osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND Estrogen deficiency-mediated hyperactive osteoclast represents the leading role during the onset of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The activation of a series of signaling cascades triggered by RANKL-RANK interaction is crucial mechanism underlying osteoclastogenesis. Vorinostat (SAHA) is a broad-spectrum pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and its effect on osteoporosis remains elusive. METHODS The effects of SAHA on osteoclast maturation and bone resorptive activity were evaluated using in vitro osteoclastogenesis assay. To investigate the effect of SAHA on the osteoclast gene networks during osteoclast differentiation, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Molecular docking and the assessment of RANKL-induced signaling cascades were conducted to confirm the underlying regulatory mechanism of SAHA on the action of RANKL-activated osteoclasts. Finally, we took advantage of a mouse model of estrogen-deficient osteoporosis to explore the clinical potential of SAHA. RESULTS We showed here that SAHA suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation concentration-dependently and disrupted osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro. Mechanistically, SAHA specifically bound to the predicted binding site of RANKL and blunt the interaction between RANKL and RANK. Then, by interfering with downstream NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway activation, SAHA negatively regulated the activity of NFATc1, thus resulting in a significant reduction of osteoclast-specific gene transcripts and functional osteoclast-related protein expression. Moreover, we found a significant anti-osteoporotic role of SAHA in ovariectomized mice, which was probably realized through the inhibition of osteoclast formation and hyperactivation. CONCLUSION These data reveal a high affinity between SAHA and RANKL, which results in blockade of RANKL-RANK interaction and thereby interferes with RANKL-induced signaling cascades and osteoclastic bone resorption, supporting a novel strategy for SAHA application as a promising therapeutic agent for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, which manifests as reduced bone mass and deteriorated bone quality, is common in the elderly population. It is characterized by persistent elevation of macrophage-associated inflammation and active osteoclast bone resorption. Currently, the roles of intracellular metabolism in regulating these processes remain unclear. In this study, we initially performed bioinformatics analysis and observed a significant increase in the proportion of M1 macrophages in bone marrow with aging. Further metabolomics analysis demonstrated a notable reduction in the expression of carnitine metabolites in aged macrophages, while carnitine was not detected in osteoclasts. During the differentiation process, osteoclasts took up carnitine synthesized by macrophages to regulate their own activity. Mechanistically, carnitine enhanced the function of Nrf2 by inhibiting the Keap1-Nrf2 interaction, reducing the proteasome-dependent ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf2. In silico molecular ligand docking analysis of the interaction between carnitine and Keap1 showed that carnitine binds to Keap1 to stabilize Nrf2 and enhance its function. In this study, we found that the decrease in carnitine levels in aging macrophages causes overactivation of osteoclasts, ultimately leading to osteoporosis. A decrease in serum carnitine levels in patients with osteoporosis was found to have good diagnostic and predictive value. Moreover, supplementation with carnitine was shown to be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a severe side effect caused by antiresorptive antiangiogenic medication, particularly bisphosphonates (BPs), has become a challenging disease with serious and profound effects on the physical and mental health of patients. Although it occurs with high frequency and is harmful, the exact mechanism of MRONJ remains unknown, and systematic and targeted approaches are still lacking. Maxillofacial surgeons focus on the etiology of osteonecrosis in the mandible and maxilla as well as the appropriate oral interventions for high-risk patients. Adequate nursing care and pharmacotherapy management are also crucial. This review provides a current overview of the clinicopathologic feature and research of MRONJ caused by BPs, with an emphasis on the potential mechanisms and current therapy and prevention strategies of the disease. We are of the opinion that an in-depth comprehension of the mechanisms underlying MRONJ will facilitate the development of more precise and efficacious therapeutic approaches, resulting in enhanced clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, has led to a high risk of fatal osteoporotic fractures worldwide. Accumulating evidence has revealed that sexual dimorphism is a notable feature of osteoporosis, with sex-specific differences in epidemiology and pathogenesis. Specifically, females are more susceptible than males to osteoporosis, while males are more prone to disability or death from the disease. To date, sex chromosome abnormalities and steroid hormones have been proven to contribute greatly to sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis by regulating the functions of bone cells. Understanding the sex-specific differences in osteoporosis and its related complications is essential for improving treatment strategies tailored to women and men. This literature review focuses on the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis, mainly in a population of aging patients, chronic glucocorticoid administration, and diabetes. Moreover, we highlight the implications of sexual dimorphism for developing therapeutics and preventive strategies and screening approaches tailored to women and men. Additionally, the challenges in translating bench research to bedside treatments and future directions to overcome these obstacles will be discussed.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease that manifests itself as an abnormality of bone metabolism and is characterized by low bone mass and destruction of the bone microstructure. Since bone resorption occurs more rapidly than new bone formation, osteoporosis leads to reduced orthopedic implant stability. From a microenvironmental point of view, the rationale for this outcome is that osteoclasts are overactive in the bone tissue of patients with osteoporosis, and the large amount of H+ they produce leads to local chronic acidosis, which promotes bone mineral loss. Therefore, we designed a weakly alkaline layered double hydroxide (LDH) coating to modulate the pathologically acidic microenvironment and the osteogenic-osteoclastic coupling by releasing Sr2+. We prepared Sr-Fe LDH coatings on pure titanium implants using a hydrothermal method in this study and characterized the material using SEM, AFM, XRD, XPS, EDS, ICP, pH acidimeter, etc. We found that the coatings had good nanomorphology and were able to efficiently neutralize H+ as well as steadily release Sr2+ for up to 21 days. In vitro, the coating not only significantly promoted the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts, but also inhibited the differentiation of osteoclasts at the same time. In addition, in animal experiments, the coating significantly improved the mechanical stability of the implant in osteoporotic rats, increasing Sr-Fe LDH@Ti maximal push-out force by 72.2% compared to Ti. At the same time, the coating was effective in reversing the osteoporotic state, resulting in a 58.5% increase in BV/TV (%), and a 12.4% increase in Tb. N (1 mm-1), a 31.6% increase in Tb. Th (μm), and a 30.9% increase in BA (%). Our results suggest that this Sr-Fe LDH nanocoating material with acid-neutralizing, as well as long-term Sr2+-releasing capabilities, is a novel and effective orthopedic implant coating material under osteoporotic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between the polymorphism and mutation of rs7125942 and rs3736228 locus in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) genotype and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women in Xinjiang, China, to provide a basis for prevention and treatment of the disease. METHODS According to the results of dual-energy X-ray (DEXA) determination of BMD, the 136 subjects were divided into three groups: Group A: normal bone mass, Group B: osteopenia, Group C: osteoporosis. 1. Age, body, mass index (BMI), and menopause of all subjects were recorded. 2. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and clinical biochemical data were determined. 3. LRP5 locus polymorphisms were determined by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS 1. Compared with group A, the age, ALP, Cr, and BUN levels in group B and group C were increased, but UA levels were lower (P < 0.05), and Serum P was higher in the group C (P < 0.05). 2. There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes between the three groups (P > 0.05). 3. The ROC curves for different BMD sites such as L1, L2, L3, L4, L total, and femoral neck were 0.929, 0.955, 0.901, 0.914, 0.885, and 0.873 (P < 0.01). 4. At rs7125942 locus, there was statistically significant difference in the distribution of wild-type (CC) and mutant (CG) with the normal bone mass (NBM) group and the abnormal bone mass (ABM) group (P < 0.05). 5. At rs7125942 locus, compared with wild-type (CC), mutant (CG) had lower LDL and FPG in NBM group (P < 0.05), and lower serum ALP in the ABM group (P < 0.05). At rs3736228 locus, the BMD (Femoral neck) of mutant (CT/TT) was lower than that of wild-type (CC) in the NBM group (P < 0.05). 6. Age and menopausal years were negatively correlated with BMD of the femoral neck and L1-4 (P < 0.05), and BMI and TG were positively (P < 0.05), and the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, BMI, and TG were both independent factors affecting BMD (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Insufficient bone formation and excessive bone resorption caused by estrogen deficiency are the major factors resulting in the incidence of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). The existing drugs usually fail to re-establish the osteoblast/osteoclast balance from both sides and generate side-effects owing to the lack of bone-targeting ability. Here, engineered cell-membrane-coated nanogels PNG@mR&C capable of scavenging receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and responsively releasing therapeutic PTH 1-34 in the bone microenvironment are prepared from RANK and CXCR4 overexpressed bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) membrane-coated chitosan biopolymers. The CXCR4 on the coated-membranes confer bone-targeting ability, and abundant RANK effectively absorb RANKL to inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, the release of PTH 1-34 triggered by osteoclast-mediated acid microenvironment promote osteogenesis. In addition, the dose and frequency are greatly reduced due to the smart release property, prolonged circulation time, and bone-specific accumulation. Thus, PNG@mR&C exhibits satisfactory therapeutic effects in the ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model. This study provides a new paradigm re-establishing the bone metabolic homeostasis from multitargets and shows great promise for the treatment of PMOP.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of bone metabolism. In this study, lncRNA microarray analysis was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in differentiated osteoclasts. lncRNA-Gm5532 is highly expressed during osteoclast differentiation. lncRNA-Gm5532 knockdown impairs osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Mechanistic experiments show that lncRNA-Gm5532 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and acts as a sponge for miR-125a-3p, which promotes TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) expression. miR-125a-3p mimics suppress osteoclast differentiation and TAK1/NF-κB/MAPK signaling. The miR-125a-3p inhibitor reverses the negative effects of siGm5532 on osteoclast differentiation. In summary, our study reveals that lncRNA-Gm5532 functions as an activator in osteoclast differentiation by targeting the miR-125a-3p/TRAF6 axis, making it a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:45. [PMID: 38200474 PMCID: PMC10777585 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07159-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alamandine is a newly characterized peptide of renin angiotensin system. Our study aims to investigate the osteo-preservative effects of alamandine, explore underlying mechanism and bring a potential preventive strategy for postmenopausal osteoporosis in the future. METHODS An ovariectomy (OVX)-induced rat osteoporosis model was established for in vivo experiments. Micro-computed tomography and three-point bending test were used to evaluate bone strength. Histological femur slices were processed for immunohistochemistry (IHC). Bone turnover markers and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in serum were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mouse embryo osteoblast precursor (MC3T3-E1) cells were used for in vitro experiments. The cell viability was analysed with a Cell Counting Kit‑8. We performed Alizarin Red S staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay to observe the differentiation status of osteoblasts. Western blotting was adopted to detect the expression of osteogenesis related proteins and AMP-activated protein kinase/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (AMPK/eNOS) in osteoblasts. DAF-FM diacetate was used for semi-quantitation of intracellular NO. RESULTS In OVX rats, alamandine alleviated osteoporosis and maintained bone strength. The IHC showed alamandine increased osteocalcin and collagen type I α1 (COL1A1) expression. The ELISA revealed alamandine decreased bone turnover markers and restored NO level in serum. In MC3T3-E1 cells, alamandine promoted osteogenic differentiation. Western blotting demonstrated that alamandine upregulated the expression of osteopontin, Runt-related transcription factor 2 and COL1A1. The intracellular NO was also raised by alamandine. Additionally, the activation of AMPK/eNOS axis mediated the effects of alamandine on MC3T3-E1 cells and bone tissue. PD123319 and dorsomorphin could repress the regulating effect of alamandine on bone metabolism. CONCLUSION Alamandine attenuates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by promoting osteogenic differentiation via AMPK/eNOS axis.

Biomaterials 2024; 304:122408. [PMID: 38041911 PMCID: PMC10843844 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
The limitations of traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures and animal testing, when it comes to precisely foreseeing the toxicity and clinical effectiveness of potential drug candidates, have resulted in a notable increase in the rate of failure during the process of drug discovery and development. Three-dimensional (3D) in-vitro models have arisen as substitute platforms with the capacity to accurately depict in-vivo conditions and increasing the predictivity of clinical effects and toxicity of drug candidates. It has been found that 3D models can accurately represent complex tissue structure of human body and can be used for a wide range of disease modeling purposes. Recently, substantial progress in biomedicine, materials and engineering have been made to fabricate various 3D in-vitro models, which have been exhibited better disease progression predictivity and drug effects than convention models, suggesting a promising direction in pharmaceutics. This comprehensive review highlights the recent developments in 3D in-vitro tissue models for preclinical applications including drug screening and disease modeling targeting multiple organs and tissues, like liver, bone, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, heart, brain, and cartilage. We discuss current strategies for fabricating 3D models for specific organs with their strengths and pitfalls. We expand future considerations for establishing a physiologically-relevant microenvironment for growing 3D models and also provide readers with a perspective on intellectual property, industry, and regulatory landscape.

Abstract
Background The impact of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) on traumatic rib fractures remains unknown. We combined computed tomography (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to measure BMD and explore its impact on traumatic rib fractures and their patterns. Methods The retrospective cohort comprised patients who visited our hospital from 2017-2018; the prospective cohort (control group) was consecutively recruited from the same hospital from February-June 2023. All patients had blunt chest trauma and underwent CT. Volumetric BMD of L1 vertebra was measured by using an AI software. Analyses were done by using BMD categorized as osteoporosis (<80 mg/cm3), osteopenia (80-120 mg/cm3), or normal (>120 mg/cm3). Pearson's χ2, Fisher's exact, or Kruskal-Wallis tests and Bonferroni correction were used for comparisons. Negative binomial, and logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations and impacts of BMD status. Sensitivity analyses were also performed. Findings The retrospective cohort included 2,076 eligible patients, of whom 954 (46%) had normal BMD, 806 (38.8%) had osteopenia, and 316 (15.2%) had osteoporosis. After sex- and age-adjustment, osteoporosis was significantly associated with higher rib fracture rates, and a higher likelihood of fractures in ribs 4-7. Furthermore, both the osteopenia and osteoporosis groups demonstrated a significantly higher number of fractured ribs and fracture sites on ribs, with a higher likelihood of fractures in ribs 1-3, as well as flail chest. The prospective cohort included 205 eligible patients, of whom 92 (44.9%) had normal BMD, 74 (36.1%) had osteopenia, and 39 (19.0%) had osteoporosis. The findings observed within this cohort were in concurrence with those in the retrospective cohort. Interpretation Traumatic rib fractures are associated with decreased BMD. CT-AI can help to identify individuals who have decreased BMD and a greater rib fracture rate, along with their fracture patterns.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporosis is a disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and skeletal fragility with increased fracture risk. Chronic kidney disease presents with wide range of bone metabolic disorders, including osteoporosis. Osteoporosis prevalence is high in early stages of CKD; whereas in late stages, it coexists with renal osteodystrophy. Risk factors Risk factors for osteoporosis include advancing age, low bone mineral density (BMD), glucocorticoid therapy, smoking, alcohol intake, etc. Diagnosis The diagnosis of osteoporosis in renal disease is made after assessment of BMD, in addition to exclusion of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), eliciting history of prior fragility fractures and relevant laboratory investigations. Management The treatment of osteoporosis varies with the different stages of CKD, with management in stages 1-3 being similar to the general population. Special emphasis must be laid on prevention of fractures as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of platelet factor 4 (PF4) on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and osteoporosis is poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of PF4-triggered bone destruction in mice and determine the underlying mechanism. METHODS First, in vitro cell proliferation and cell cycle of BMMSCs were assessed using a CCK8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation was confirmed using staining and quantification of alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin Red S. Next, an osteoporotic mouse model was established by performing bilateral ovariectomy (OVX). Furthermore, the PF4 concentrations were obtained using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The bone microarchitecture of the femur was evaluated using microCT and histological analyses. Finally, the key regulators of osteogenesis and pathways were investigated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. RESULTS Human PF4 widely and moderately decreased the cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation ability of BMMSCs. Furthermore, the levels of PF4 in the serum and bone marrow were generally increased, whereas bone microarchitecture deteriorated due to OVX. Moreover, in vivo mouse PF4 supplementation triggered bone deterioration of the femur. In addition, several key regulators of osteogenesis were downregulated, and the integrin α5-focal adhesion kinase-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ITGA5-FAK-ERK) pathway was inhibited due to PF4 supplementation. CONCLUSIONS PF4 may be attributed to OVX-induced bone loss triggered by the suppression of bone formation in vivo and alleviate BMMSC osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting the ITGA5-FAK-ERK pathway.

Cinnamaldehyde Alleviates Bone Loss by Targeting Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage via the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway in BMSCs and Ovariectomized Mice. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is typically brought on by disruption of bone homeostasis. Excessive oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are believed to be the primary mechanisms underlying this disorder. Therefore, in order to restore bone homeostasis effectively, targeted treatment of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is necessary. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a small molecule that acts as an agonist for the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), has been found to possess antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. We found that CIN, while rescuing apoptosis, can also reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to improve mitochondrial dysfunction and thus restore the osteogenic differentiation potential of BMSCs disrupted by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure. The role of CIN was preliminarily considered to be a consequence of Nrf2/HO-1 axis activation. The ovariectomized mice model further demonstrated that CIN treatment ameliorated oxidative stress in vivo, partially reversing OVX-induced bone loss. This improvement was seen in the trabecular microarchitecture and bone biochemical indices. However, when ML385 was concurrently injected with CIN, the positive effects of CIN were largely blocked. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the intrinsic mechanisms by which CIN regulates BMSCs and highlights the potential therapeutic applications of these findings in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Effects of Moderate- to High-Impact Exercise Training on Bone Structure Across the Lifespan: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Abstract
Moderate- to high-impact exercise improves bone mineral density (BMD) across the lifespan, but its effects on bone structure, which predicts fracture independent of areal BMD, are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated effects of impact exercise on volumetric BMD (vBMD) and bone structure. Four databases (PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science) were searched up to March 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of impact exercise, with ground reaction forces equal to or greater than running, compared with sham or habitual activity, on bone vBMD and structure. Bone variables were measured by quantitative computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging at the tibia, radius, lumbar spine, and femur. Percentage changes in bone variables were compared among groups using mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated via random effects meta-analyses. Subgroup analyses were performed in children/adolescents (<18 years), adults (18-50 years), postmenopausal women, and older men. Twenty-eight RCTs (n = 2985) were included. Across all studies, impact exercise improved trabecular vBMD at the distal tibia (MD = 0.54% [95% CI 0.17, 0.90%]), total vBMD at the proximal femur (3.11% [1.07, 5.14%]), and cortical thickness at the mid/proximal radius (1.78% [0.21, 3.36%]). There was no effect on vBMD and bone structure at the distal radius, femoral shaft, or lumbar spine across all studies or in any subgroup. In adults, impact exercise decreased mid/proximal tibia cortical vBMD (-0.20% [-0.24, -0.15%]). In postmenopausal women, impact exercise improved distal tibia trabecular vBMD (0.79% [0.32, 1.25%]). There was no effect on bone parameters in children/adolescents in overall analyses, and there were insufficient studies in older men to perform meta-analyses. Impact exercise may have beneficial effects on bone structure and vBMD at various skeletal sites, but additional high-quality RCTs in different age and sex subgroups are needed to identify optimal exercise protocols for improving bone health across the lifespan. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease affecting millions of elderly people globally and increases the risk of bone fractures due to the reduced bone density. Drugs are normally prescribed to treat osteoporosis, especially after surgical treatment of osteoporotic fractures. However, many anti-osteoporotic drugs produce deleterious side effects. The recent development of gene therapy utilizing oligonucleotides (ONs) has spurred the development of new therapies for osteoporosis. Nevertheless, most ONs lack the capability of cell penetration and lysosome escape and hence, intracellular delivery of ON remains a challenge. Herein, a novel strategy is demonstrated to efficiently deliver ON to cells by combining ON with the cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) via the bio-orthogonal click reaction. Several dopamine (DOPA) groups are also introduced into the fabricated peptide to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Owing to favorable properties such as good cytocompatibility, cell penetration, lysosome escape, ROS scavenging, and osteoclastogenesis suppression, the hybrid CPP-DOPA-ON peptide improves the osteoporotic conditions significantly in vivo even when bone implants are involved. This strategy has great potential in the treatment of osteoporosis and potentially broadens the scope of gene therapy.

Abstract
Background Postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures are world-wide serious public health problem. Recent studies demonstrated that inhibiting caveolin-1 leads to osteoclastogenesis suppression and protection against OVX-induced osteoporosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of caveolin-1 mediating bone loss and the potential therapeutic target. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 female mice were allocated randomly into three groups: sham or bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) surgeries were performed for mice and subsequently daidzein or vehicle was administrated to animals (control, OVX + vehicle and OVX + daidzein). After 8-week administration, femurs were harvested for Micro-CT scan, histological staining including H&E, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, TRAP. Bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs) were cultured and treated with inhibitors of caveolin-1 (daidzein) or EGFR (erlotinib) and then scratch wound healing and ki67 assays were performed. In addition, cells were harvested for western blot and PCR analysis. Results Micro-CT showed inhibiting caveolin-1with daidzein alleviated OVX-induced osteoporosis and osteogenesis suppression. Further investigations revealed H-type vessels in cancellous bone were decreased in OVX-induced mice, which can be alleviated by daidzein. It was subsequently proved that daidzein improved migration and proliferation of BMECs hence improved H-type vessels formation through inhibiting caveolin-1, which suppressed EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling in BMECs. Conclusions This study demonstrated that daidzein alleviates OVX-induced osteoporosis by promoting H-type vessels formation in cancellous bone, which then promotes bone formation. Activating EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling could be the critical reason.

Abstract
Restoring bone homeostasis is the key to the treatment of osteoporosis. How to increase osteogenic ability or inhibit osteoclast activity has always been a topic of great concern. In recent years, short peptides with biological activity have received great attention in bone repair. However, the application of short peptides is still limited due to the lack of a stable and targeted delivery system. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles modified by alendronate (AL) to transport osteogenic peptides (OGP) (AL-PLGA@P NPs) are designed. Benefiting from the high affinity of AL for hydroxyapatite, AL-PLGA@P NPs have the ability to target bone. In this delivery system, OGP that promotes osteogenesis synergizes with AL, which inhibits osteoclasts, to regulate bone homeostasis, which gives them more advantages in the treatment of osteoporosis. The data shows that nanoparticles can selectively deliver peptides to the bone surface without systemic toxicity. Moreover, nanoparticles can upregulate osteogenesis-related factors (ALP, Runx-2, and BMP2) and downregulate osteoclast-related factors (TRAP and CTSK) in vitro. With AL-PLGA@P NPs, bone microarchitecture and bone mass are improved in ovariectomized osteoporosis rats. Therefore, this study proposes a novel osteoporosis-based drug system that effectively improves bone density.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs), derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage, are key orchestrators in bone remodeling. Targeting osteoclast apoptosis is a promising approach to cut down excessive osteoclast numbers, and thus slow down the rate of bone mass loss that inevitably occurs during aging. However, the therapeutic target of apoptosis in osteoclasts has not been fully studied. Our previous work generated Mvpf/fLyz2-Cre mice, conditionally depleting major vault protein (MVP) in monocyte lineage, and identified MVP as a bone protector for its negative role in osteoclastogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Here, we observed a notable decline of MVP in osteoclasts with aging in mice, encouraging us to further investigate the regulatory role of osteoclast MVP. Then, Mvpf/fLyz2-Cre mice were exploited in two osteoporosis contexts, aging and abrupt loss of estrogen, and we revealed that conditional knockout of MVP inhibited osteoclast apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we reported the interaction between MVP and death receptor Fas, and MVP-Fas signaling cascade was identified to positively regulate the apoptosis of osteoclasts, thus preventing osteoporosis. Collectively, our comprehensive discovery of MVP's regulatory role in osteoclasts provides new insight into osteoclast biology and therapeutic targets for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP), characterized by an imbalance of bone remodeling between formation and resorption, has become a health issue worldwide. The receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE), a transmembrane protein in the immunoglobin family, has multiple ligands and has been involved in many chronic diseases, such as diabetes and OP. Increasing evidence shows that activation of the RAGE signaling negatively affects bone remodeling. Ligands, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), S100, β-amyloid (Aβ), and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), have been well documented that they may negatively regulate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and positively stimulate osteoclastogenesis by activating the expression of RAGE. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the structure of RAGE and its biological functions in the pathogenesis of OP. The research findings suggest that RAGE signaling has become a potential target for the therapeutic management of OP.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP), a common systemic bone metabolism disease with a high incidence rate, is a serious health risk factor. Osteogenic differentiation balance is regulated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and plays a key role in OP occurrence and progression. Although, LIM homeobox 8 (Lhx8) has been identified to affect BMSCs osteogenic differentiation, its roles in OP and the associated mechanism remains unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role and mechanism of Lhx8 in the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. BMSCs isolated from wild type and OP Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured and confirmed via flow cytometry and microscopy. Based on dual-luciferase reporter assay, BMSCs were transfected with miR-142-5p mimics and miR-NC (negative control). Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were performed to determine the role of Lhx8 in BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Lhx8 expression was significantly reduced in OP, whereas that of miR-142-5p, a possible Lhx8 regulator, was significantly upregulated. Dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-142-5p exerted a direct targeted regulatory effect on Lhx8. Moreover, miR-142-5p mimics significantly inhibited BMSCs osteogenic differentiation as well as Lhx8 expression in vitro, indicating that miR-142-5p may be involved in BMSCs osteogenic differentiation via Lhx8 expression regulation and may serve as a potential diagnostic target for OP. Overall, these findings indicated that miR-142-5p inhibits BMSCs osteogenic differentiation by suppressing Lhx8. These may serve as a foundation for further studies on OP treatment based on miR-142-5p targeting.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is characterized by excessive loss of bone protein and mineral content. The incidence and mortality of osteoporosis increase with age, creating a significant medical and economic burden globally. The importance of cholesterol levels has been reported in the development of diseases including osteoporosis. It is important to note that key enzymes and molecules involved in cholesterol homeostasis are closely related to bone formation. Excessive cholesterol may cause osteoporosis, cholesterol and its metabolites affect bone homeostasis by regulating the proliferation and stimulation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Therefore, antagonism of elevated cholesterol levels may be a potential strategy to prevent osteoporosis. There is sufficient evidence to support the use of bisphosphonates and statin drugs for osteoporosis in the clinic. Therefore, in view of the aggravation of the aging problem, we summarize the intracellular mechanism of cholesterol homeostasis and its relationship with osteoporosis (including cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in osteoporosis). Furthermore, the current clinical cholesterol-lowering drugs for osteoporosis were also summarized, as are new and promising therapies (cell-based therapies (e.g., stem cells) and biomaterial-delivered target drug therapies for osteoporosis as well).

Prevalence, predictors, dynamic bone change, and treatment efficacy of osteoporosis among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: a prospective cohort study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1214277.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a silent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comorbidity that is often under-detected. We aimed to study the prevalence and potential predictors of osteoporosis in COPD. Dynamic changes in bone mass density (BMD) and treatment efficacy of bisphosphonate were also assessed. Methods This prospective cohort study included COPD patients between January 2017 and January 2019. Demographics data, spirometric parameters, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were collected. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (L2-4) and both femoral necks were measured after enrollment and the 12-month follow-up. Participants were categorized into three groups per the baseline BMD T-score: normal (≥ - 1.0), osteopenia (between -1.0 and - 2.5), and osteoporosis (≤ - 2.5). In the osteoporosis group, alendronate 70 mg/week with vitamin D and calcium was prescribed. Results In total, 108 COPD patients were enrolled. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia were 31.5 and 32.4%, respectively. Advanced age, lower body mass index (BMI), history of exacerbation in the previous year, and high CRP levels were significant predictors of osteoporosis. After 12 months, 35.3% in the osteoporosis group reported new vertebral and femoral fractures, compared to none in the non-osteoporosis group (p < 0.001). In the normal BMD and osteopenia groups showed a further decline in BMD after 12-month. Conversely, the osteoporosis group showed a statistically significant improvement in BMD after anti-resorptive treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusion The prevalence of osteoporosis was high in Thai COPD patients. Advanced age, lower BMI, history of exacerbation, and high CRP levels were potential predictors. A rapid decline in BMD was observed in COPD patients without treatment.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression by repressing messengerRNA-targets. MiRNAs are abundant in many cell types and are secreted into extracellular fluids, protected from degradation by packaging in extracellular vesicles. These circulating miRNAs are easily accessible, disease-specific and sensitive to small changes, which makes them ideal biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic, predictive or monitoring purposes. Specific miRNA signatures can be reflective of disease status and development or indicators of poor treatment response. This is especially important in malignant diseases, as the ease of accessibility of circulating miRNAs circumvents the need for invasive tissue biopsy. In osteogenesis, miRNAs can act either osteo-enhancing or osteo-repressing by targeting key transcription factors and signaling pathways. This review highlights the role of circulating and extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs as biomarkers in bone-related diseases, with a specific focus on osteoporosis and osteosarcoma. To this end, a comprehensive literature search has been performed. The first part of the review discusses the history and biology of miRNAs, followed by a description of different types of biomarkers and an update of the current knowledge of miRNAs as biomarkers in bone related diseases. Finally, limitations of miRNAs biomarker research and future perspectives will be presented.

Abstract
The skeletal system is responsible for weight-bearing, organ protection, and movement. Bone diseases caused by trauma, infection, and aging can seriously affect a patient's quality of life. Bone targeted biomaterials are suitable for the treatment of bone diseases. Biomaterials with bone-targeted properties can improve drug utilization and reduce side effects. A large number of bone-targeted micro-nano materials have been developed. However, only a few studies addressed bone-targeted hydrogel. The large size of hydrogel makes it difficult to achieve systematic targeting. However, local targeted hydrogel still has significant prospects. Molecules in bone/cartilage extracellular matrix and bone cells provide binding sites for bone-targeted hydrogel. Drug delivery systems featuring microgels with targeting properties is a key construction strategy for bone-targeted hydrogel. Besides, injectable hydrogel drug depot carrying bone-targeted drugs is another strategy. In this review, we summarize the bone-targeted hydrogel through application environment, construction strategies and disease applications. We hope this article will provide a reference for the development of bone-targeted hydrogels. We also hope this article could increase awareness of bone-targeted materials. Introducing the microenvironment and target molecules in different parts of long bones. Summarizing the construction strategy of micro/nanoparticle hydrogel with bone targeting properties. Summarizing the construction strategy of hydrogel based depot carrying bone-targeted drugs. Reporting the application and effect of bone targeting hydrogel in common bone diseases.

Abstract
To describe the characteristics of multiple myeloma (MM) by retrospectively analyzing data from patients with MM in hematology, nephrology, and orthopedic departments, we selected inpatients diagnosed with MM for the first time who were admitted to the hematology department of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2021 ([Formula: see text]) and those admitted to the nephrology ([Formula: see text]) and orthopedic ([Formula: see text]) departments of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2021. For patients with MM initially diagnosed in the nephrology or orthopedic departments, age- and sex-matched patients without MM were randomly selected in a 1:1 ratio. Conditional logistic regression models were used to assess the risk of MM in hospitalized patients in the nephrology and orthopedic departments. This study included 200 patients, with a median age of 65 years. There were differences among patients in the three departments with respect to fracture, degree of anemia, proteinuria levels, red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin levels, total protein (TP) levels, albumin levels, and laboratory indicators of renal function. TP levels > 68.45 g/L were independent risk factors for patients in the nephrology department (odds ratio (OR) = 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.001-1.024, P = 0.04), and RBC count < 3.79 × 1012/L was an independent risk factor for orthopedic inpatients (OR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.268-0.913, P = 0.02). Therefore, nephrologists should pay attention to the TP level of hospitalized patients to facilitate the early identification of MM in patients with chronic kidney disease. Orthopedic surgeons should pay attention to RBC counts in patients with fractures, and patients with low RBC counts should avoid unnecessary surgery and move to specialist care as early as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used in clinical practice to prevent and treat bone metabolism-related diseases. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is one of the major sequelae of BPs use. Early prediction and intervention of MRONJ are of great significance. METHODS Ninety-seven patients currently on treatment with BPs or with a history of BPs usage and 45 healthy volunteers undergoing dentoalveolar surgery were included in this study. Participants' serum Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) levels were measured and analyzed before participants underwent surgery (T0) and after a 12-month follow-up (T1). Kruskal-Wallis test and ROC analysis were used to examine the predictive effect of Sema4D on MRONJ. RESULTS Sema4D levels in serum of patients corresponding to confirmed MRONJ were significantly lower at both T0 and T1 time points compared to non-MRONJ and healthy controls. Sema4D has a statistically predictive effect on the occurrence and diagnosis of MRONJ. Serum Sema4D levels were significantly reduced in MRONJ class 3 patients. MRONJ patients who received intravenous BPs had significantly lower Sema4D levels than those who received oral BPs. CONCLUSION Serum Sema4D level has predictive value for the onset of MRONJ in BPs users within 12 weeks after dentoalveolar surgery.

Abstract
There is limited evidence regarding which fracture types carry the highest risk for subsequent fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate how the risk of imminent fracture depends on index fracture site. This nationwide retrospective cohort study utilized national registers in Sweden to determine the risk of fracture according to recent (≤2 years) index fracture site and according to an old (>2 years) prevalent fracture compared with the risk observed in controls without a fracture. All Swedes 50 years or older between 2007 and 2010 were included in the study. Patients with a recent fracture were designated a specific fracture group depending on the type of previous fracture. Recent fractures were classified as major osteoporotic fracture (MOF), including fractured hip, vertebra, proximal humerus, and wrist, or non-MOF. Patients were followed until December 31, 2017, censored for death and emigration, and the risk of any fracture and hip fracture was assessed. A total of 3,423,320 persons were included in the study, 70,254 with a recent MOF, 75,526 with a recent non-MOF, 293,051 with an old fracture, and 2,984,489 persons with no previous fracture. The median time of follow-up for the four groups was 6.1 (interquartile range [IQR] 3.0-8.8), 7.2 (5.6-9.4), 7.1 (5.8-9.2), and 8.1 years (7.4-9.7), respectively. Patients with a recent MOF, recent non-MOF, and old fracture had a substantially increased risk of any fracture (hazard ratio [HR] adjusted for age and sex 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.08-2.14; HR 2.24, 95% CI 2.21-2.27; and HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.76-1.78, respectively) compared with controls. All recent fractures, MOFs, and non-MOFs, as well as older fractures, increase the risk of subsequent fracture, suggesting that all recent fractures should be included in fracture liaison services and that case-finding strategies for those with older fractures may be warranted to prevent subsequent fractures. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
During the aging process, the reduced osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) results in decreased bone formation, which contributes to senile osteoporosis. Previous studies have confirmed that interrupted circadian rhythm plays an indispensable role in age-related disease. However, the mechanism underlying the impaired osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs during aging and its relationship with interrupted circadian rhythm remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that the circadian rhythm was interrupted in aging mouse skeletal systems. The level of the core rhythm component BMAL1 but not that of CLOCK in the osteoblast lineage was decreased in senile osteoporotic specimens from both human and mouse. BMAL1 targeted TTK as a circadian-controlled gene to phosphorylate MDM2 and regulate H2Bub1 level, while H2Bub1 in turn regulated the expression of BMAL1. The osteogenic capacity of BM-MSCs was maintained by a positive loop formed by BMAL1-TTK-MDM2-H2Bub1. Furthermore, we demonstrated that using bone-targeting recombinant adeno-associated virus 9 (rAAV9) to enhance Bmal1 or Ttk might have a therapeutic effect on senile osteoporosis and delays bone repair in aging mice. In summary, our study indicated that targeting the BMAL1-TTK-MDM2-H2Bub1 axis via bone-targeting rAAV9 might be a promising strategy for the treatment of senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Established scores estimate 10-year fracture risk in osteoporosis to assist with treatment recommendations. This study compared the risk probabilities of major osteoporotic and hip fractures calculated by the FRAX tool with those of the DVO score, established in German-speaking countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS This seven-year retrospective study analyzed data of 125 male patients (mean age: 59.2±10.7 years) evaluated for osteoporosis. For the DVO score, the therapy threshold of>30% for vertebral and hip fractures suggested by DVO guidelines was implemented. We calculated fracture risks based on FRAX scores with aBMD and applied a common therapy threshold of≥3% for hip fracture and subsequently determined the "DVO-equivalent risk level" for FRAX-based assessment that would identify as many male patients as identified by the DVO score. RESULTS Based on DVO score, 60.0% of patients had a 10-year risk of hip and vertebral fractures>30%. The recommendations for individuals based on FRAX scores for hip fracture with aBMD with risk≥3% overlapped with those based on DVO score in 36% of patients. Patients identified for treatment only by DVO score presented a higher percentage of spine fractures (65 vs. 41%). The thresholds for this "DVO-equivalent risk level" for 'FRAX with aBMD' was estimated to be≥6.7% for major osteoporotic fracture and≥2.1% for hip fracture.This study demonstrates that the DVO score was more sensitive than the FRAX score for patients with prevalent spinal fractures. We suggest considering the appropriate score and therapy threshold carefully in the daily care of male patients.

The nanoformula of zoledronic acid and calcium carbonate targets osteoclasts and reverses osteoporosis. Biomaterials 2023; 296:122059.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is known as an imbalance in bone catabolism and anabolism. Overactive bone resorption causes bone mass loss and increased incidence of fragility fractures. Antiresorptive drugs are widely used for osteoporosis treatment, and their inhibitory effects on osteoclasts (OCs) have been well established. However, due to the lack of selectivity, their off-target and side effects often bring suffering to patients. Herein, an OCs' microenvironment-responsive nanoplatform HA-MC/CaCO3/ZOL@PBAE-SA (HMCZP) is developed, consisting of succinic anhydride (SA)-modified poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) micelle, calcium carbonate shell, minocycline-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-MC) and zoledronic acid (ZOL). Results indicate that HMCZP, as compared with the first-line therapy, could more effectively inhibit the activity of mature OCs and significantly reverse the systemic bone mass loss in ovariectomized mice. In addition, the OCs-targeted capacity of HMCZP makes it therapeutically efficient at sites of severe bone mass loss and allows it to reduce the adverse effects of ZOL, such as acute phase reaction. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reveals that HMCZP could down-regulate a critical osteoporotic target, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), as well as other potential therapeutical targets for osteoporosis. These results suggest that an intelligent nanoplatform targeting OCs is a promising strategy for osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is described as an age-associated impairment of bone formation. microRNA (miR)-29b-3p was thought to be linked to osteoblast differentiation; however, the underlying molecular pathways are yet unknown. The study's goal was to look into the involvement of miR-29b-3p in osteoporosis and the pathophysiological mechanisms. A murine model of estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss was established to simulate postmenopausal osteoporosis. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to assess the level of miR-29b-3p of bone tissue. Additionally, miR-29b-3p/sirtuin-1 (SIRT1)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) axis in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was examined. Osteogenesis-related markers, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), were assessed at protein and molecular levels. ALP staining and Alizarin Red staining were used to detect ALP activity and calcium deposition. The ovariectomy group was shown to express miR-29b-3p at higher levels in vitro, and miR-29b-3p mimics suppressed osteogenic differentiation and protein/mRNA expression levels of osteogenesis-related markers in vivo. SIRT1 was identified as a target of miR-29b-3p using luciferase reporter assays. Overexpression of SIRT1 reduced the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation by miR-29b-3p. Rosiglitazone, an activator of PPARγ signaling, was able to reverse the downregulation of the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the protein expression of PPARγ caused by miR-29b-3p inhibitors. The results revealed that osteogenesis was suppressed by miR-29b-3p, which blocks the SIRT1/PPARγ axis. These results suggested that postmenopausal osteoporosis could be treated by targeting miR-29b-3p SIRT1/PPARγ.

Abstract
The use of autografts, as primary cell and tissue source, is the current gold standard approach to treat critical size bone defects and nonunion defects. The unique mixture of the autografts, containing bony compartments and bone marrow (BM), delivers promising results. Although BM mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) still represent a major target for various healing approaches in current preclinical research and respective clinical trials, their occurrence in the human BM is typically low. In vitro expansion of this cell type is regulatory challenging as well as time and cost intensive. Compared with marginal percentages of resident BM-MSCs in BM, BM mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) contained in BM aspirates, concentrates, and bone autografts represent a readily available abundant cell source, applicable within hours during surgical procedures without the need for time-consuming and regulatory challenging cell expansion. This benefit is one reason why autografting has become a clinical standard procedure. However, the exact anatomy and cellularity of BM-MNCs in humans, which is strongly correlated to their unique mode of action and wide application range remains to be elucidated. The aim of this review was to present an overview of the current knowledge on these specific cell types found in human BM, emphasize the contribution of BM-MNCs in bone healing, highlight donor site dependence, and discuss limitations in the current isolation and subsequent characterization procedures. Hereby, the most recent and relevant examples of human BM-MNC cell characterization, flow cytometric analyses, and findings are summarized, with a strong focus on bone therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the difference in vertebral mechanical properties estimated by finite element analysis (FEA) with different computed tomography (CT) reconstruction kernels and evaluate their accuracy in the screening and classification of osteoporosis. METHODS There were 31 patients enrolled retrospectively from the quantitative CT database of our hospital, uniformly covering the range from osteoporosis to normal. All subjects' CT raw data were reconstructed both with a smooth standard convolution kernel (B40f) and a sharpening bone convolution kernel (B70f), and FEA was performed on L1 of each subject based on two reconstructed images to obtain vertebral estimated strength and stiffness. The trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the same vertebral body was also measured. FEA measurements between two kernels and their accuracy for osteoporosis screening were compared. RESULTS The vertebral stiffness and strength measured in FEA-B40f were significantly lower compared with those of FEA-B70f (12.0%, p = 0.000 and 10.7%, p = 0.000, respectively). The correlation coefficient between FEA-B70F and vBMD was slightly higher than that of FEA-B40F in both vertebral strength and stiffness (strength: r 2-B40f = 0.21, p = 0.009 vs. r 2-B70f = 0.27, p = 0.003; stiffness: r 2-B40f = 0.37, p = 0.002 vs. r 2-B70f = 0.45, p=0.000). The receiver operator characteristic curve showed little difference in the classification of osteoporosis between FEA-B40f and FEA-B70f. CONCLUSION Two kernels both seemed to be applicable to the opportunistic screening of osteoporosis by CT-FEA despite variance in FE-estimated bone strength and bone stiffness. A protocol for CT acquisition and FEA is still required to guarantee the reproducibility of clinical use.
