Abstract
Osteoporosis is a worldwide disease that seriously affects the quality of life and survival rate of the elderly. The detection of bone biomarkers will provide supplementary information of bone mineral density, contributing to the accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis and better health care for prevention. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of oxidative stress markers-8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGsn) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGsn) in the assessment of osteoporosis. We conducted a cross-sectional study among menopausal women with a mean (standard deviation) age of 62.967 (7.798) years old (n = 151). Participants were recruited for the bone mineral density (BMD) assessment, blood and urinary samples. Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine concentrations were measured by ultra performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre value differed significantly between normal and osteoporotic participants (p < 0.001), while the 8-oxodGsn/Cre value did not (p = 0.720). Even after adjusting for the age and body mass index, the BMD was still associated with urinary 8-oxoGsn/Cre value. ROC analysis showed that 8-oxoGsn has a strong diagnostic value for osteoporosis (AUC =0.744). The results show for the first time that 8-oxoGsn may be a biomarker for the future diagnosis of osteoporosis in women.

The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) system in the pronephros and mesonephros of Bufo bufo larvae. Open Life Sci 2007.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study on the excretory apparatus of the Bufo bufo larvae, the ultrastructural features and the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-system were examined using cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods. The early embryonic kidney, the pronephros, is replaced by a later stage, the mesonephros. The pronephros degenerates at the time of metamorphosis and the mesonephros becomes the functional kidney in the adult. Both these organs are targets for ANP, demonstrated by the presence of the specific receptors, indirectly highlighted by the cytochemical localization of the guanylate cyclase in the presence of exogenous atrial natriuretic peptide. This study concluded that the mesonephros produces ANP and thus clusters of cells containing ANP-like granules, positive to the anti-α ANP immunolocalization, were present along the mesonephric proximal tubule. The atrial natriuretic peptide system carries out an important osmoregulatory role in the excretory apparatus.

Abstract
The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-system was examined in Rana esculenta lung with cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods. The results showed a cellular type that synthesizes the hormone and the presence of receptors in various components of the lung. The lung, therefore, produces ANP and at the same time is a target organ for the hormone. ANP may play an important physiological role in pulmonary function and in protecting against pulmonary edema.

Abstract
Intestinal guanylate cyclase C is activated by guanylin, an endogenous peptide. This activity seems to be modulated by adenine nucleotides, the ions Mg2+ and Mn2+, and pH. In this study, we report an ultracytochemical method for the localization of guanylate cyclase C activity at the electron microscope level. We studied the enzymatic activity in the presence or absence of guanylin and/or ATP, in the presence of the ions Mg2+ or Mn2+, and at different pH levels. The greatest distribution of enzymatic activity was detected in samples incubated at pH 8 and 7.4 in the presence of guanylin, Mg2+ and ATP. Guanylate cyclase C activity was detected at the surface epithelium of stomach and intestine, and in liver, exocrine pancreas and parotid gland. In the intestine, enzymatic activity was more widely distributed in the duodenum than in the jejunum-ileum and colon. In the small intestine, activity was more evident in the upper portion than in the basal portion of the villus. In samples incubated at pH 8 and 7.4 in the absence of ATP, enzymatic activity was detected only in small intestine, liver and exocrine pancreas. Enzymatic activity was present in duodenum incubated at pH 8 and 7.4 in the presence of Mn2+ and in the presence or absence of ATP. No samples incubated in all these experimental conditions but at pH 5 or samples incubated in the presence of guanylin only or in the absence of guanylin, displayed guanylate cyclase C activity. Our results suggest that a complete ultracytochemical detection of guanylate cyclase C activity requires guanylin as stimulator, and incubation in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP at pH 8 and 7.4.

Abstract
Heme oxygenases (HO) are responsible for the production of carbon monoxide, which has been suggested to act similarly to nitric oxide as a signaling molecule. Inducible HO-1 and constitutive HO-2 were located in sections of weight-bearing ulnae of the rat by immunocytochemistry. Intense HO-1 localization was restricted to peri- and endosteal sites, whereas HO-2 staining occurred in osteoblasts and osteocytes throughout the cortex. Northern blot hybridization of mRNA levels for HO-1 and HO-2 extracted from bones was also performed. Six hours after a single 10 min period of noninvasive mechanical loading of the ulna in vivo, generating physiological levels of strain sufficient to initiate an osteogenic response, the level of mRNA for the inducible HO-1 isoform was increased, but that of HO-2 was unchanged. The presence of a constitutive and strain-related upregulation of an inducible enzyme capable of producing carbon monoxide suggests that carbon monoxide may participate not only in bone cells' basal metabolism but also in their adaptive response to mechanical load.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. We examined the bone sparing effect of NO on prevention of corticosteroid-induced bone loss in older male rats. Recently, we demonstrated that NO donor nitroglycerin (NG) can alleviate ovariectomy-induced bone loss, and the protective effects of estrogens on bone are mediated through NO [Bone 18(4):301-304; 1996]. Therefore, we chose to study a different model (i.e., steroid-induced osteoporosis in males) to evaluate whether NG can inhibit the bone loss associated with corticosteroid therapy. Twenty-five 32-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 5/group). They received either vehicle, methylprednisolone (7 mg/kg per week), NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME (25 mg/kg per day), NO donor nitroglycerin (NG, 0.2 mg twice daily), a combination of prednisolone+NG, or prednisolone plus L-NAME, respectively. Prior to treatment and at the end of the 6 week treatment period, bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning. Administration of prednisolone significantly decreased BMD (-9.50%, p < 0.05). The group receiving NG with prednisolone (-2.34%) and the group treated with NG alone (-0.36%) were not statistically different from the control group (-0.11%). Similar to the changes in BMD, femur weights were also significantly lower in prednisolone-treated rats (1.09 +/- 0.01 g vs. 1.17 +/- 0.03 in controls; p < 0.05). However, the rats receiving prednisolone together with NG were able to maintain their femur weights (1.13 +/- 0.02). There was a reduction of 9.5% of BMD (p < 0.05) and 7.8% of femoral weight (p < 0.05) in rats treated with L-NAME. A 50%-70% reduction of the percentage trabecular bone volume in the proximal tibia and distal femur and a 50% reduction of the midshaft cortical area was seen after corticosteroid therapy, and these too were prevented by administration of NG. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, that supplementation with a NO donor compound can counteract prednisolone-induced bone loss.

Abstract
The ultracytochemical localization of membrane-bound guanylate cyclases A and B has been studied after stimulation with atrial natriuretic peptide, C-type natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in the gastrointestinal tract of rat. The two isoforms are stimulated differently by the three peptides. The results showed that the atrial and C-type natriuretic peptides stimulated guanylate cyclase activity, whereas the brain peptide seemed not to activate enough of the enzyme to detect. The guanylate cyclase activity had a wider distribution in stomach and small intestine than in large intestine; nevertheless, the reaction product of guanylate cyclase A activity had a wider localization in the stomach, whereas the reaction product of guanylate cyclase B activity had a wider distribution in the small intestine. In the small and large intestine, we detected mostly similar localizations of guanylate cyclase activity irrespective of the peptide used; in the stomach the reaction products of guanylate cyclase A and B were detected in different cell types or in different sites of the same cell. In all the gastrointestinal tract, guanylate cyclase activity was detected mainly in three types of cells: exocrine and endocrine cells; undifferentiated and mature epithelial cells; and smooth muscle cells. These localizations of guanylate cyclase activity suggest its role in regulating glandular secretion, cellular proliferation and muscular activity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. We examined the bone-sparing effect of NO after 6 weeks of administration into estrogen-deficient rats. 30 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 12 weeks of age, underwent ovariectomy (OVX), and 5 rats were sham-operated. OVX rats were assigned to six groups (n = 5/group) treated respectively with: vehicle; 17-beta-estradiol (E2); nitroglycerine (NG, NO donor); NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, NO synthase inhibitor); combination of E2 + NG; and a combination of E2 + L-NAME. Prior to treatment and at the end of the treatment period, bone mineral density (BMD) of rats was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning. OVX animals had significantly lower BMD and femur weights in comparison to sham operated rats (p < 0.01), and this was completely prevented by the administration of E2 (p < 0.01). Administration of NG alone prevented OVX-induced bone loss (p < 0.05). The combination of E2 + NG did not further enhance the bone mass or femur weight, and the OVX-induced bone loss was not further aggravated by L-NAME. However, in the presence of L-NAME, E2 was totally ineffective in reversing the bone loss, suggesting that the protective effect of estrogens against bone loss may be mediated through NO. In summary, the results suggest that NO counteracts the bone loss associated with OVX.

Abstract
Most agents that regulate osteoclast bone resorption exert their effects indirectly, through the osteoblast. Nitric oxide, which stimulates soluble guanylyl cyclase, has been reported to inhibit osteoclast bone resorption directly, by a cGMP-independent mechanism (1). In this report, we demonstrate that C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), an activator of membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase, stimulates bone resorption by osteoclast-containing 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3)-stimulated mouse bone marrow cultures. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays and anti-CNP immunocytochemistry were used to demonstrate that CNP is expressed in mouse marrow cells cultured in the presence, but not the absence, of, 1,25-(OH)2D3. mRNA for guanylyl cyclase type B, the receptor for CNP, was expressed in cultures independent of 1,25-(OH)2D3. CNP (1 and 10 microM) elevated cGMP production in marrow cultures to 350 and 870%, respectively, of control values. 10 microM CNP increased osteoclast bone resorptive activity, measured by the resorption area on whale dentine wafers, or by the NH4Cl-inhibitable release of [3H]proline from radiolabeled bone chips, to 214 and 557% of control, respectively, without affecting osteoclast formation. Bone resorption by the marrow cultures was inhibited by 7F9.1, a monoclonal antibody raised against CNP, but not by control antibodies. These results indicate that CNP is a potent activator of osteoclast activity and may be a novel local regulator of bone remodeling.

Abstract
We studied the activity and the ultracytochemical localization of membrane-bound guanylate cyclase (GC) after stimulation with rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP), porcine brain natriuretic peptide (pBNP), rat brain natriuretic peptide (rBNP), or porcine C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in rat C6 glioma cells during proliferation or following exposure of confluent cells to dibutyryl cyclic AMP (db-cAMP) or retinoic acid (RA). Under our experimental conditions all peptides were activators of GC as demonstrated by the accumulation of cGMP within cells. During proliferation of C6 cells, the amounts of cGMP remained approximately constant. However, at subconfluency, confluency and postconfluency, the GC reaction product was located at different sites in C6 cells. At subconfluency, GC reaction product was on membranes of protoplasmic extensions, at postconfluency, GC reaction product was in association with membranes of cell bodies, and at confluency, both localizations of GC reaction product were detected. Incubation of confluent cells in culture medium containing db-cAMP or RA induced the appearance of long and slender protoplasmic extensions. Under these conditions, the GC reaction product was localized exclusively to these processes. These data suggest that GC is differentially located depending on the state of growth of glial cells, and that in differentiating glial cells GC is preferentially located in cell processes.
