Abstract
Key Clinical Message In MS patients, especially those frail or malnourished, combining home-based exercise twice weekly with essential amino acids and vitamin D may improve body composition, strength, and physical performance, enabling long-term functional improvements. Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with reduced bone and muscle strength and function. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a 24-week intervention in a 57-year-old frail female with MS. The participant completed a 2×/week exercise intervention and ingested 2×/day a supplement containing 7.5 g essential amino acids and 500 IU cholecalciferol. Body composition, 6-m gait speed (GS), handgrip strength (HGS), 30-sec arm-curl test (30ACT), 6-min walking test (6MWT), 30-sec chair-stand test (30CST), and plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and amino acids were assessed at baseline, and at Weeks 12 and 24. Plasma 25(OH)D3 increased from 23.2 to 41.3 ng/mL and IGF-1 from 131.6 to 140.7 ng/mL from baseline to post-intervention. BMI, total lean tissue mass (LTM), fat mass, bone mineral content, and the sum of 17 amino acids increased by 3.8, 1.0, 3.5, 0.2, and 19%, respectively, at Week 24. There were clinically significant increases in regional LTM (6.9% arms and 6.3% legs) and large increases in GS (67.3%), dominant HGS (31.5%), non-dominant HGS (11.8%), dominant 30ACT (100%), non-dominant 30ACT (116.7%), 6MWT (125.6%), and 30CST (44.4%). The current intervention was effective in improving components of physical fitness and body composition in a female with MS.

Abstract
Bone autografts remain the gold standard for bone grafting surgeries despite having increased donor site morbidity and limited availability. Bone morphogenetic protein-loaded grafts represent another successful commercial alternative. However, the therapeutic use of recombinant growth factors has been associated with significant adverse clinical outcomes. This highlights the need to develop biomaterials that closely approximate the structure and composition of bone autografts, which are inherently osteoinductive and biologically active with embedded living cells, without the need for added supplements. Here, injectable growth factor-free bone-like tissue constructs are developed, that closely approximate the cellular, structural, and chemical composition of bone autografts. It is demonstrated that these micro-constructs are inherently osteogenic, and demonstrate the ability to stimulate mineralized tissue formation and regenerate bone in critical-sized defects in-vivo. Furthermore, the mechanisms that allow human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to be highly osteogenic in these constructs, despite the lack of osteoinductive supplements, are assessed, whereby Yes activated protein (YAP) nuclear localization and adenosine signaling appear to regulate osteogenic cell differentiation. The findings represent a step toward a new class of minimally invasive, injectable, and inherently osteoinductive scaffolds, which are regenerative by virtue of their ability to mimic the tissue cellular and extracellular microenvironment, thus showing promise for clinical applications in regenerative engineering.

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

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In women, the female athlete triad, marked by low energy availability, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea and osteoporosis, is a recognized risk for stress fractures. Stress injuries also occur in men, but by contrast risks and mechanisms underlying them are less characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS 5 week-old wild-type male mice were fed ad libitum (ad) or subjected to 60% food restriction (FR) for five weeks. In both groups, some mice were allowed access to an exercise wheel in cages to allow voluntary wheel running (ex) and/or treated with active vitamin D analogues. Mice were sacrificed and analyzed at 10 weeks of age. RESULT Male FR mice exhibited significantly reduced testicle weight, serum testosterone levels and bone mass. Such bone losses in FR male mice were enhanced by exercise. Histological analysis revealed that both bone-resorbing and -forming activities were significantly reduced in FR or FR plus exercise (FR + ex) mice, mimicking a state of low bone turnover. Significantly reduced bone mass in FR or FR + ex male mice was significantly rescued by treatment with active vitamin D analogues, with significant restoration of osteoblastic activities. Serum levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), which is critical for bone remodeling, were significantly lower in FR versus control male mice. CONCLUSIONS Low energy availability puts men at risk for stress injuries as well, and low energy availability is upstream of gonadal dysfunction and osteoporosis in males. Active vitamin D analogues could serve as therapeutic or preventive options for stress injuries in men.

Abstract
Background: IGF-1 may be an important factor in bone remodeling, but its mechanism of action on osteoclasts during orthodontic tooth movement is complex and unclear. Methodology: The closed-coil spring was placed between the left maxillary first molar and upper incisors with a force of 50 g to establish an orthodontic movement model. Eighty SD rats were randomized to receive phosphate buffer saline or 400 ng rhIGF-1 in the lateral buccal mucosa of the left maxillary first molar every two days. Tissue sections were stained for tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP), the number of TRAP-positive cells was estimated and tooth movement measured. Results: The rhIGF-1 group exhibited evidential bone resorption and lacuna appeared on the alveolar bone compared to the control group. Moreover, the number of osteoclasts in compression side of the periodontal ligament in the rhIGF-1 group peaked at day 4 (11.37±0.95 compared to 5.28±0.47 in the control group) after the orthodontic force was applied and was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the distance of tooth movement in the rhIGF-1 group was significantly larger than that of the control group from day 4 to day 14 (p<0.01), suggesting that rhIGF-1 accelerated orthodontic tooth movement. Conclusion: Our study has showed that rhIGF-1 could stimulate the formation of osteoclasts in the periodontal ligament, and accelerate bone remodeling and orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has been largely described as one underlying cause of senescence of the immune-hematopoietic system (immunosenescence). A set of well-defined hallmarks characterizes aged HSCs contributing to unbalanced hematopoiesis and aging-associated functional alterations of both branches of the immune system. In this chapter, the contribution of sirtuins, a family of conserved NAD+ dependent deacetylases with key roles in metabolism, genome integrity, aging and lifespan, to immunosenescence, will be addressed. In particular, the role of SIRT6 will be deeply analyzed highlighting a multifaceted part of this deacetylase in HSCs aging as well as in the immunosenescence of dendritic cells (DCs). These and other emerging data are currently paving the way for future design and development of rejuvenation means aiming at rescuing age-related changes in immune function in the elderly and combating age-associated hematopoietic diseases.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) frequently invades nearby bone and bone involvement determines the prognosis of patients. Growth factors, stored in the bone matrix and released during bone destruction, are known as key components in the bone-tumor interaction. However, the coordination of growth factor signals and the precise mechanism of bone destruction in oral cancer are still unclear. In the study, we investigated the differential cytokine expression profile of oral cancer cells by TGF-β treatment and the function of altered expression of cytokines on the osteoclast differentiation. We established TGFBR2-knockdown cells using small hairpin RNA. TGF-β was treated to both TGFBR2 expressing and knockdown cells and the culture supernatants were analyzed using a cytokine array kit. We found that the TGF-β inhibited IGFBP3 level and enhanced MMP9 level. We confirmed this regulation of IGFBP3 and MMP9 by TGF-β using ELISA and zymography, respectively. IGFBP3 is known as to modulate the bioavailability of IGF1, which is abundant in the bone microenvironment and regulates osteoclast differentiation. Therefore, we further analyzed the function of IGFBP3 on osteoclastogenesis. Although IGFBP3 increased the viability of murine bone marrow macrophages, the osteoclast differentiation of these cells was blocked by IGFBP3 in a dose-dependent manner. These results revealed a novel pathway for the regulation of osteoclastogenesis by oral cancer cells, which may be a new therapeutic target for osteolysis induced by oral cancer infiltrating into the bone.

Osteocyte-Related Cytokines Regulate Osteoclast Formation and Bone Resorption. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21145169.

Abstract
The process of bone remodeling is the result of the regulated balance between bone cell populations, namely bone-forming osteoblasts, bone-resorbing osteoclasts, and the osteocyte, the mechanosensory cell type. Osteoclasts derived from the hematopoietic stem cell lineage are the principal cells involved in bone resorption. In osteolytic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, periodontitis, and osteoporosis, the balance is lost and changes in favor of bone resorption. Therefore, it is vital to elucidate the mechanisms of osteoclast formation and bone resorption. It has been reported that osteocytes express Receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL), an essential factor for osteoclast formation. RANKL secreted by osteocytes is the most important factor for physiologically supported osteoclast formation in the developing skeleton and in pathological bone resorption such as experimental periodontal bone loss. TNF-α directly enhances RANKL expression in osteocytes and promotes osteoclast formation. Moreover, TNF-α enhances sclerostin expression in osteocytes, which also increases osteoclast formation. These findings suggest that osteocyte-related cytokines act directly to enhance osteoclast formation and bone resorption. In this review, we outline the most recent knowledge concerning bone resorption-related cytokines and discuss the osteocyte as the master regulator of bone resorption and effector in osteoclast formation.

Abstract
Diabetes and osteoporosis are two common diseases with different complications. Despite different therapeutic strategies, managing these diseases and reducing their burden have not been satisfactory, especially when they appear one after the other. In this review, we aimed to clarify the similarity, common etiology and possible common adjunctive therapies of these two major diseases and designate the known molecular pattern observed in them. Based on different experimental findings, we want to illuminate that interestingly similar pathways lead to diabetes and osteoporosis. Meanwhile, there are a few drugs involved in the treatment of both diseases, which most of the time act in the same line but sometimes with opposing results. Considering the correlation between diabetes and osteoporosis, more efficient management of both diseases, in conditions of concomitant incidence or cause and effect condition, is required.

Abstract
In this review, we systematically discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease treatment. TCM classifies the subtypes of RA through its own theoretical method, which is beneficial for more accurate diagnosis and treatment with Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) that are more suitable for different syndromes. TCM mainly uses a flexible combination of CHMs to play an important role in RA treatment. The main components of these extracts can be subdivided into alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, saponins and other compounds. Using a platform of transgenic and induced arthritis models, we explore the potential mechanisms of TCM against RA with the help of omics analysis techniques and methods. These mechanisms are mainly CHM and its extracts can inhibit RA patients and experimental animal models, including synovitis, vascular proliferation and bone injury; this involves many biological signal exchange targets and pathways. In conclusion, the role of TCM in RA treatment mainly involves reducing the expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, thus decreasing the degree of abnormal immune response. In this review, we systematically discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease treatment.![]()

Abstract
The discovery of the growth hormone (GH)-mediated somatic factors (somatomedins), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II, has elicited an enormous interest primarily among endocrinologists who study growth and metabolism. The advancement of molecular endocrinology over the past four decades enables investigators to re-examine and refine the established somatomedin hypothesis. Specifically, gene deletions, transgene overexpression or more recently, cell-specific gene-ablations, have enabled investigators to study the effects of the Igf1 and Igf2 genes in temporal and spatial manners. The GH/IGF axis, acting in an endocrine and autocrine/paracrine fashion, is the major axis controlling skeletal growth. Studies in rodents have clearly shown that IGFs regulate bone length of the appendicular skeleton evidenced by changes in chondrocytes of the proliferative and hypertrophic zones of the growth plate. IGFs affect radial bone growth and regulate cortical and trabecular bone properties via their effects on osteoblast, osteocyte and osteoclast function. Interactions of the IGFs with sex steroid hormones and the parathyroid hormone demonstrate the significance and complexity of the IGF axis in the skeleton. Finally, IGFs have been implicated in skeletal aging. Decreases in serum IGFs during aging have been correlated with reductions in bone mineral density and increased fracture risk. This review highlights many of the most relevant studies in the IGF research landscape, focusing in particular on IGFs effects on the skeleton.

Analysis of Association of Genetic Markers in the LUZP2 and FBXO40 Genes with the Normal Variability in Cognitive Performance in the Elderly. Int J Alzheimers Dis 2018; 2018:2686045.

Abstract
Cognitive performance is an important endophenotype for various neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric traits. In the present study two genetic variants in the leucine-zipper protein (LUZP2) and the F-box 40 protein (FBXO40) genes, previously reported to be genome-wide significant for Alzheimer's diseases and schizophrenia, were examined for an association with cognitive abilities in normal elderly from the Russian population. Rs1021261 in the LUZP2 and rs3772130 in the FBXO40 were genotyped by multiplex PCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in a sample of 708 normal elderly subjects tested for cognitive performance using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Association of genetic variability with the MoCA scores was estimated by parametric and nonparametric analysis of variance and by the frequency comparison between upper and lower quartiles of MoCA distribution. Significantly higher frequency of "TT" genotype of rs1021261 in the LUZP2 gene as well as "A" allele and "AA" genotype of rs3772130 in the FBXO40 gene was found in a subsample of individuals with the MoCA score less than 20 comparing to the fourth quartile's subsample (MoCA > 25). The data of the present study suggests that genetic variability in the LUZP2 and FBXO40 loci associated with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases is also contributed to the normal variability in cognitive performance in the elderly.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells derived from mononuclear phagocyte precursors (monocytes, macrophages); in the canonical pathway of osteoclastogenesis, these cells fuse and differentiate to form specialised bone-resorbing osteoclasts in the presence of receptor activator for nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL). Non-canonical pathways of osteoclastogenesis have been described in which several cytokines and growth factors are able to substitute for RANKL. These humoral factors can generally be divided into those which, like RANKL, are tumour necrosis family (TNF) superfamily members and those which are not; the former include TNFα lymphotoxin exhibiting inducible expression and competing with herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D for herpesvirus entry mediator, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes (LIGHT), a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL) and B cell activating factor (BAFF); the latter include transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-11, nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-II. This review summarises the evidence for these RANKL substitutes in inducing osteoclast differentiation from tissue-derived and circulating mononuclear phagocytes. It also assesses the role these factors are likely to play in promoting the pathological bone resorption seen in many inflammatory and neoplastic lesions of bone and joint including rheumatoid arthritis, aseptic implant loosening and primary and secondary tumours of bone.

Abstract
Celastrol is a bioactive compound derived from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs of the Celastraceae family. Celastrol is known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. Our studies have highlighted the immunomodulatory attributes of celastrol in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA), an experimental model of human rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial lining of the joints, leading eventually to tissue damage and deformities. Identification of the molecular targets of celastrol such as the NF-κB pathway, MAPK pathway, JAK/STAT pathway and RANKL/OPG pathway has unraveled its strategic checkpoints in controlling arthritic inflammation and tissue damage in AA. The pathological events that are targeted and rectified by celastrol include increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines; an imbalance between pathogenic T helper 17 and regulatory T cells; enhanced production of chemokines coupled with increased migration of immune cells into the joints; and increased release of mediators of osteoclastic bone damage. Accordingly, celastrol is a promising candidate for further testing in the clinic for RA therapy. Furthermore, the results of other preclinical studies suggest that celastrol might also be beneficial for the treatment of a few other autoimmune diseases besides arthritis.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is anabolic for muscle by enhancing the rate of mRNA translation via activation of AKT and subsequent activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTOR), thereby increasing cellular protein production. IGF-1 is also anabolic for bone, but whether the mTOR pathway plays a role in the rate of bone matrix protein production by osteoblasts is unknown. We hypothesized that anabolic stimuli such as mechanical loading and IGF-1 stimulate protein synthesis in osteoblasts via activation of the AKT-mTOR pathway. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were either or not subjected for 1 h to mechanical loading by pulsating fluid flow (PFF) or treated with or without human recombinant IGF-1 (1-100 ng/ml) for 0.5-6 h, to determine phosphorylation of AKT and p70S6K (downstream of mTOR) by Western blot. After 4 days of culture with or without the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, total protein, DNA, and gene expression were quantified. IGF-1 (100 ng/ml) reduced IGF-1 gene expression, although PFF enhanced IGF-1 expression. IGF-1 did not affect collagen-I gene expression. IGF-1 dose-dependently enhanced AKT and p70S6K phosphorylation at 2 and 6 h. PFF enhanced phosphorylation of AKT and p70S6K already within 1 h. Both IGF-1 and PFF enhanced total protein per cell by ∼30%, but not in the presence of rapamycin. Our results show that IGF-1 and PFF activate mTOR, thereby stimulating the rate of mRNA translation in osteoblasts. The known anabolic effect of mechanical loading and IGF-1 on bone may thus be partly explained by mTOR-mediated enhanced protein synthesis in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) play an important role in the adaptation of both muscle and bone to mechanical stimuli. Here, we provide an overview of the functions of IL-6 and IGF-1 in bone and muscle metabolism, and the intracellular signaling pathways that are well known to mediate these functions. In particular, we discuss the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway which in skeletal muscle is known for its key role in regulating the rate of mRNA translation (protein synthesis). Since the role of the mTOR pathway in bone is explored to a much lesser extent, we discuss what is known about this pathway in bone and the potential role of this pathway in bone remodeling. We will also discuss the possible ways of influencing IGF-1 or IL-6 signaling by osteocytes and the clinical implications of pharmacological or nutritional modulation of the Akt/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar bone is often lost after tooth extraction. Few studies have assessed the longitudinal changes in bone volume that occur within these extraction sites. PURPOSE To investigate the longitudinal morphological changes in extraction sockets following sustained continuous subcutaneous infusion of human recombinant insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen rats were subjected to right mandibular first molar extraction. Experimental rats (n = 7) received a continuous subcutaneous infusion of human recombinant IGF-I (320 mg/day) for 3 weeks by osmotic minipump. Control animals were treated with saline via the same method (n = 7). All rats were then housed for an additional 3 weeks. Micro-CT scanning was performed immediately after tooth extraction and at 1, 2, 3, and 6 weeks after extraction. RESULTS New bone formation was markedly higher in the IGF-I-treated group as compared with the control group. The loss in alveolar ridge height in the IGF-I group was significantly lower than that in the control group at each time point after extraction on the buccal side and at 2, 3, and 6 weeks on the lingual side. CONCLUSIONS IGF-I treatment increases the volume of newly formed bone and reduces the loss in alveolar ridge height following tooth extraction.

Abstract
The success of scaffold-based bone regeneration approaches strongly depends on the performance of the biomaterial utilized. Within the efforts of regenerative medicine towards a restitutio ad integrum (i.e. complete reconstruction of a diseased tissue), scaffolds should be completely degraded within an adequate period of time. The degradation of synthetic bone substitute materials involves both chemical dissolution (physicochemical degradation) and resorption (cellular degradation by osteoclasts). Responsible for bone resorption are osteoclasts, cells of haematopoietic origin. Osteoclasts play also a crucial role in bone remodelling, which is essential for the regeneration of bone defects. There is, however, surprisingly limited knowledge about the detailed effects of osteoclasts on biomaterials degradation behaviour. This review covers the relevant fundamental knowledge and progress made in the field of osteoclast activity related to biomaterials used for bone regeneration. In vitro studies with osteoclastic precursor cells on synthetic bone substitute materials show that there are specific parameters that inhibit or enhance resorption. Moreover, analyses of the bone-material interface reveal that biomaterials composition has a significant influence on their degradation in contact with osteoclasts. Crystallinity, grain size, surface bioactivity and density of the surface seem to have a less significant effect on osteoclastic activity. In addition, the topography of the scaffold surface can be tailored to affect the development and spreading of osteoclast cells. The present review also highlights possible areas on which future research is needed and which are relevant to enhance our understanding of the complex role of osteoclasts in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Balancing bone resorption and formation is the quintessential component for the prevention of osteoporosis. Signals that determine the recruitment, replication, differentiation, function, and apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteoclasts direct bone remodeling and determine whether bone tissue is gained, lost, or balanced. Therefore, understanding the signaling pathways involved in the coupling process will help develop further targets for osteoporosis therapy, by blocking bone resorption or enhancing bone formation in a space- and time-dependent manner. Insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) has long been known to play a role in bone strength. It is one of the most abundant substances in the bone matrix, circulates systemically and is secreted locally, and has a direct relationship with bone mineral density. Recent data has helped further our understanding of the direct role of IGF-1 signaling in coupling bone remodeling which will be discussed in this review. The bone marrow microenvironment plays a critical role in the fate of mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells and thus how IGF-1 interacts with other factors in the microenvironment are equally important. While previous clinical trials with IGF-1 administration have been unsuccessful at enhancing bone formation, advances in basic science studies have provided insight into further mechanisms that should be considered for future trials. Additional basic science studies dissecting the regulation and the function of matrix IGF-1 in modeling and remodeling will continue to provide further insight for future directions for anabolic therapies for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Huo-luo-xiao-ling dan (HLXL) is an herbal mixture that has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory disorders. Despite the availability of potent conventionally used drugs for RA, their limited efficacy in a proportion of patients coupled with their high cost and severe adverse effects has necessitated the search for novel therapeutics for this debilitating disease. Further, the control of both inflammation and bone damage is essential for effective management of arthritis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of HLXL against arthritic bone damage in adjuvant arthritis (AA) model of RA. Our results show that HLXL treatment suppressed inflammatory arthritis and reduced bone and cartilage damage in the joints of arthritic Lewis rats. HLXL-induced protection against bone damage was mediated primarily via inhibition of mediators of osteoclastic bone remodeling (e.g., receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand; RANKL), skewing of RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio in favor of antiosteoclastic activity, reduction in the number of osteoclasts in the arthrodial joint's bone, and inhibition of cytokine production and MMP activity. Our results suggest that HLXL might offer a promising alternative/adjunct treatment for both inflammation and bone damage in RA.

Abstract
The importance of the complex interrelated regulatory pathways involving IGF factors and pancreatic hormones can be observed in several metabolic diseases, where the deregulation of these factors has a wide impact on bone health. These findings have stimulated us to compare the effect of IGF-I, IGF-II, insulin and preptin on human bone cells. The effect on cell differentiation and cell activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts has been analysed. We have observed a significant effect by IGF-I, a modest effect by IGF-II and preptin and no effect after insulin administration on human primary osteoblast-like cells. All studied factors have shown an induction on human primary osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption activity, with IGF-I being the most potent factor. We hypothesize that these findings may be on the basis of decreased bone mass density observed in several diseases.

Abstract
The host response to calcium silicate ceramic coatings is not always favorable because of their high dissolution rates, leading to high pH within the surrounding physiological environment. Recently, a zinc-incorporated calcium silicate-based ceramic Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating, developed on a Ti-6Al-4V substrate using plasma-spray technology, was found to exhibit improved chemical stability and biocompatibility. This study aimed to investigate and compare the in vitro response of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating, CaSiO3 coating, and uncoated Ti-6Al-4V titanium control at cellular and molecular level. Our results showed Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating enhanced MC3T3-E1 cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation compared to CaSiO3 coating and control. In addition, Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating increased mRNA levels of osteoblast-related genes (alkaline phosphatase, procollagen α1(I), osteocalcin), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). The in vivo osteoconductive properties of Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating, compared to CaSiO3 coating and control, was investigated using a rabbit femur defect model. Histological and histomorphometrical analysis demonstrated new bone formation in direct contact with the Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating surface in absence of fibrous tissue and higher bone-implant contact rate (BIC) in the Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating group, indicating better biocompatibility and faster osseointegration than CaSiO3 coated and control implants. These results indicate Ca2ZnSi2O7 coated implants have applications in bone tissue regeneration, since they are biocompatible and able to osseointegrate with host bone.

Abstract
This review focuses on the anabolic effects of IGF-1 signaling on the skeleton, emphasizing the requirement for IGF-1 signaling in normal bone formation and remodeling. We first discuss the genomic context, splicing variants, and species conservation of the IGF-1 locus. The modulation of IGF-1 action by growth hormone (GH) is then reviewed while also discussing the current model which takes into account the GH-independent actions of IGF-1. Next, the skeletal phenotypes of IGF-1-deficient animals are described in both embryonic and postnatal stages of development, which include severe dwarfism and an undermineralized skeleton. We then highlight two mechanisms by which IGF-1 exerts its anabolic action on the skeleton. Firstly, the role of IGF-1 signaling in the modulation of anabolic effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone will be discussed, presenting in vitro and in vivo studies that establish this concept and the proposed underlying molecular mechanisms involving Indian hedgehog (Ihh) and the ephrins. Secondly, the crosstalk of IGF-1 signaling with mechanosensing pathways will be discussed, beginning with the observation that animals subjected to skeletal unloading by hindlimb elevation are unable to mitigate cessation of bone growth despite infusion with IGF-1 and the failure of IGF-1 to activate its receptor in bone marrow stromal cell cultures from unloaded bone. Disrupted crosstalk between IGF-1 signaling and the integrin mechanotransduction pathways is discussed as one of the potential mechanisms for this IGF-1 resistance. Next, emerging paradigms on bone-muscle crosstalk are examined, focusing on the potential role of IGF-1 signaling in modulating such interactions. Finally, we present a future outlook on IGF research.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by bone erosion and cartilage destruction in the joints. Many of the conventional antiarthritic drugs are effective in suppressing inflammation, but they do not offer protection against bone damage. Furthermore, the prolonged use of these drugs is associated with severe adverse reactions. Thus, new therapeutic agents that can control both inflammation and bone damage but with minimal side effects are sought. Celastrus is a Chinese herb that has been used for centuries in folk medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. However, its utility for protection against inflammation-induced bone damage in arthritis and the mechanisms involved therein have not been examined. We tested celastrus and its bioactive component celastrol for this attribute in the adjuvant-induced arthritis model of RA. The treatment of arthritic rats with celastrus/celastrol suppressed inflammatory arthritis and reduced bone and cartilage damage in the joints as demonstrated by histology and bone histomorphometry. The protective effects against bone damage are mediated primarily via the inhibition of defined mediators of osteoclastic bone remodeling (e.g. receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)), the deviation of RANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio in favor of antiosteoclastic activity, and the reduction in osteoclast numbers. Furthermore, both the upstream inducers (proinflammatory cytokines) and the downstream effectors (MMP-9) of the osteoclastogenic mediators were altered. Thus, celastrus and celastrol controlled inflammation-induced bone damage by modulating the osteoimmune cross-talk. These natural products deserve further consideration and evaluation as adjuncts to conventional therapy for RA.

Abstract
The effects of Korean Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L) seed oil (SSO) on osteoporosis induced-ovariectomized rats were investigated. A total of 90 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 4-month-old, weighing 200–230 g were randomly assigned into 3 groups (30 animals/group). The animals in group I were sham operated and those of group II and III were ovariectomized (Ovx). After eight weeks, the animals of group I and II received solvent vehicle daily, whereas those of group III were administered SSO orally (1 ml/kg) daily for 30 days. The changes in the serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF-II, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGBP-3), estrogen, total alkaline phosphatase (TALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), calcium and phosphorous in serum, and also the histomorphology of the proximal tibia metaphysis and femur/body weight (F/B) ratio were examined in all the groups at every 10 days interval. Thirty days later, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGBP-3 and BALP levels were significantly increased ( p < 0.05) in group III as compared to groups I and II. There were no significant differences in serum levels of estrogen, TALP and F/B ratio between groups II and III, but estrogen levels were higher in group I. These results suggest that the safflower seeds have possible roles in the improvement of osteoporosis induced-ovariectomized rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several parameters are associated with high bone mineral density (BMD), such as overweight, black background, intense physical activity (PA), greater calcium intake and some medications. The objectives are to evaluate the prevalence and the main aspects associated with high BMD in healthy women. METHODS After reviewing the database of approximately 21,500 BMD scans performed in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, from June 2005 to October 2010, high BMD (over 1400 g/cm² at lumbar spine and/or above 1200 g/cm² at femoral neck) was found in 421 exams. Exclusion criteria were age below 30 or above 60 years, black ethnicity, pregnant or obese women, disease and/or medications known to interfere with bone metabolism. A total of 40 women with high BMD were included and matched with 40 healthy women with normal BMD, paired to weight, age, skin color and menopausal status. Medical history, food intake and PA were assessed through validated questionnaires. Body composition was evaluated through a GE-Lunar DPX MD + bone densitometer. Radiography of the thoracic and lumbar spine was carried out to exclude degenerative alterations or fractures. Biochemical parameters included both lipid and hormonal profiles, along with mineral and bone metabolism. Statistical analysis included parametric and nonparametric tests and linear regression models. P < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS The mean age was 50.9 (8.3) years. There was no significant difference between groups in relation to PA, smoking, intake of calcium and vitamin D, as well as laboratory tests, except serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen (s-CTX), which was lower in the high BMD group (p = 0.04). In the final model of multivariate regression, a lower fat intake and body fatness as well a better profile of LDL-cholesterol predicted almost 35% of high BMD in women. (adjusted R2 = 0.347; p < 0.001). In addition, greater amounts of lean mass and higher IGF-1 serum concentrations played a protective role, regardless age and weight. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate the potential deleterious effect of lipid metabolism-related components, including fat intake and body fatness and worse lipid profile, on bone mass and metabolism in healthy women.

Abstract
Tongue enlargement and mandibular prognathism are clinically recognized in almost all patients with acromegaly. An acromegaly-like rat model recently developed by exogenous administration of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) was used to investigate morphological and histopathological changes in orofacial structures and to clarify whether these changes were reversible. Exogenous administration of IGF-I evoked specific enlargement of the tongue with identifiable histopathological changes (increased muscle bundle width, increased space between muscle bundles, and increased epithelial thickness), elongation of the mandibular alveolar bone and ascending ramus, and lateral expansion of the mandibular dental arch. Regarding histopathological changes in the mandibular condyle, the cartilaginous layer width, bone matrix ratio, and number of osteoblasts were all significantly greater in this rat model. After normalization of the circulating IGF-I level, tongue enlargement and histopathological changes in the tongue and mandibular condyle were reversible, whereas morphological skeletal changes in the mandible remained.

Abstract
With the increasing worldwide prevalence of diabetes the resulting complications, their consequences and treatment will lead to a greater social and financial burden on society. One of the many organs to be affected is bone. Loss of bone is observed in type 1 diabetes, in extreme cases mirroring osteoporosis, thus a greater risk of fracture. In the case of type 2 diabetes, both a loss and an increase of bone has been observed, although in both cases the quality of the bone overall was poorer, again leading to a greater risk of fracture. Once a fracture has occurred, healing is delayed in diabetes, including nonunion. The reasons leading to such changes in the state of the bone and fracture healing in diabetes is under investigation, including at the cellular and the molecular levels. In comparison with our knowledge of events in normal bone homeostasis and fracture healing, that for diabetes is much more limited, particularly in patients. However, progress is being made, especially with the use of animal models for both diabetes types. Identifying the molecular and cellular changes in the bone in diabetes and understanding how they arise will allow for targeted intervention to improve diabetic bone, thus helping to counter conditions such as Charcot foot as well as preventing fracture and accelerating healing when a fracture does occur.

Abstract
Non-canonical pathways of osteoclastogenesis have been described in which several cytokines are able to substitute for RANKL. These cytokines are few in number and their role(s) in pathological bone resorption has not been ascertained. We have identified five additional cytokines, APRIL, BAFF, NGF, IGF I and IGF II, that can induce RANKL-independent osteoclastogenesis. All five cytokines induced both osteoclast differentiation and activation with respect to the formation of significant numbers of TRAP(+) and VNR(+) multinucleated cells that were capable of resorbing bone. The number of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells that formed was in the range of 40-75% of that supported by MCSF plus RANKL. Resorption was at a similar level to that induced by the other known RANKL substitutes TNFα, IL-6 and TGF-β. The addition of osteoprotegrin, the endogenous decoy receptor of RANKL, revealed that this resorption was independent of RANKL. APRIL, BAFF, IGF I and IGF II were found to be expressed in giant cell tumour of bone. IGF I and IGF II demonstrated very strong expression in the stromal cell population of all tumour samples. This data suggests that non-canonical osteoclastogenesis plays a role in both normal and pathological bone resorption.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a critical role in the development of the growing skeleton by establishing both longitudinal and transverse bone accrual. IGF-1 has also been implicated in the maintenance of bone mass during late adulthood and aging, as decreases in serum IGF-1 levels appear to correlate with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD). Although informative, mouse models to date have been unable to separate the temporal effects of IGF-1 depletion on skeletal development. To address this problem, we performed a skeletal characterization of the inducible LID mouse (iLID), in which serum IGF-1 levels are depleted at selected ages. We found that depletion of serum IGF-1 in male iLID mice prior to adulthood (4 weeks) decreased trabecular bone architecture and significantly reduced transverse cortical bone properties (Ct.Ar, Ct.Th) by 16 weeks (adulthood). Likewise, depletion of serum IGF-1 in iLID males at 8 weeks of age, resulted in significantly reduced transverse cortical bone properties (Ct.Ar, Ct.Th) by 32 weeks (late adulthood), but had no effect on trabecular bone architecture. In contrast, depletion of serum IGF-1 after peak bone acquisition (at 16 weeks) resulted in enhancement of trabecular bone architecture, but no significant changes in cortical bone properties by 32 weeks as compared to controls. These results indicate that while serum IGF-1 is essential for bone accrual during the postnatal growth phase, depletion of IGF-1 after peak bone acquisition (16 weeks) is compartment-specific and does not have a detrimental effect on cortical bone mass in the older adult mouse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of growth hormone (GH) in augmenting fracture healing has been postulated for over half a century. GH has been shown to play a role in bone metabolism and this can be mediated directly or indirectly through IGF-I. OBJECTIVES The use of GH was evaluated as a possible therapeutic agent in augmenting fracture healing. METHOD A literature search was undertaken on GH and its effect on bone fracture healing primarily using MEDLINE/OVID (1950 to January 2009). Key words and phrases including 'growth hormone', 'insulin like growth factor', 'insulin like growth factor binding protein', 'insulin like growth factor receptor', 'fracture repair', 'bone healing', 'bone fracture', 'bone metabolism', 'osteoblast' and 'osteoclast' were used in different combinations. Manual searches of the bibliography of key papers were also undertaken. RESULTS Current evidence suggests a positive role of GH on fracture healing as demonstrated by in vitro studies on osteoblasts, osteoclasts and the crosstalk between the two. Animal studies have demonstrated a number of factors influencing the effect of GH in vivo such as dose, timing and method of administration. Application of this knowledge in humans is limited but clearly demonstrates a positive effect on fracture healing. Concern has been raised in the past regarding the safety profile of the pharmacological use of GH when used in critically ill patients. CONCLUSION The optimal dose and method of administration is still to be determined, and the safety profile of this novel use of GH needs to be investigated prior to establishing its widespread use as a fracture-healing agent.

Abstract
Transforming and insulin-like growth factors are important in regulating bone mass. Thus, one would anticipate correlations between matrix concentrations of growth factors and functional properties of bone. We therefore investigated the relationships of (1) TGF-beta2 and (2) IGF-I matrix concentrations with the trabecular microstructure, stress distribution, and mechanical properties of tibial cancellous bone from six male human cadavers. Trabecular stress amplification (VMExp/sigma(app)) and variability (VMCOV) were calculated using microcomputed tomography (muCT)-based finite element simulations. Bone volume fraction (BV/TV), surface/volume ratio (BS/BV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), number (Tb.N) and separation (Tb.Sp), connectivity (Eu.N), and anisotropy (DA) were measured using 3-D morphometry. Bone stiffness and strength were measured by mechanical testing. Matrix concentrations of TGF-beta2 and IGF-I were measured by ELISA. We found higher matrix concentrations of TGF-beta2 were associated with higher Tb.Sp and VMExp/sigma(app) for pooled data and within subjects. Similarly, a higher matrix concentration of IGF-I was associated with lower stiffness, strength, BV/TV and Tb.Th and with higher BS/BV, Tb.Sp, VMExp/sigma(app) and VMCOV for pooled data and within subjects. IGF-I and Tb.N were negatively associated within subjects. It appears variations of the stress distribution in cancellous bone correlate with the variation of the concentrations of TGF-beta2 and IGF-I in bone matrix: increased local matrix concentrations of growth factors are associated with poor biomechanical and architectural properties of tibial cancellous bone.

Abstract
CONTEXT Osteoporosis is common among postmenopausal women; animal studies and human pilot studies support the concept of nitric oxide (NO) donors reducing bone mineral density loss. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate whether NO donor, nitroglycerin, prevents postmenopausal bone loss. DESIGN This was a 3-yr randomized, double blinded, single-center, placebo-controlled clinical trial. SETTING The single-center study was conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (New Brunswick, NJ). PARTICIPANTS Participants included 186 postmenopausal women aged 40-65 yr, with lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores of 0 to -2.5. INTERVENTION Women, stratified by lumbar T-score (<-1.50 and >or=-1.50) and years since menopause (5 yr), were randomized to receive nitroglycerin ointment (22.5 mg as Nitro-Bid) or placebo ointment received daily for 3 yr. Both groups took 630 mg daily calcium plus 400 IU vitamin D supplements. MEASUREMENTS BMD was measured at 6 months and annually by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Percent change in lumbar vertebrae BMD was the primary outcome. Hip BMD, total body bone mineral content, and height were secondary outcomes. RESULTS After 36 months of therapy, changes of -2.1% in the active group (n = 88) and -2.5% in the placebo group (n = 82) in lumbar spine BMD were seen (P = 0.59; 95% confidence interval -1.001, 1.975). Secondary outcomes also did not differ by intervention arm. The active group reported more headaches compared with the placebo group (57 vs. 14%, P < 0.001). Other adverse and serious adverse events were not different. CONCLUSIONS BMD changes did not substantially differ between postmenopausal women who received the dose of nitroglycerin tested, in comparison with a placebo. Once-daily dosing with 22.5 mg of transdermal-administered nitroglycerin was not effective (compliance adjusted dose was only approximately 16 mg/d); a sub-therapeutic dose.

Abstract
IGF-I action is essential for the regulation of tissue formation and remodeling, bone growth, prenatal growth, brain development, and muscle metabolism. Cellular effects of IGF-I are mediated through the IGF-I receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates intracellular substrates, resulting in the activation of multiple intracellular signaling cascades. Dysregulation of IGF-I actions due to impairment in the postreceptor signaling machinery may contribute to multiple diseases in humans. This article will review current information on IGF-I signaling and illustrate recent results demonstrating how impaired IGF-I signaling and action may contribute to the pathogenesis of human diseases, including osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders, and reduced fetal growth in utero.

Abstract
Osteoclast formation and bone resorption are multiple processes that involve the participation of specialized membrane structures and their associated proteins. In this study, we used an MS to analyze the profile of proteins associated with osteoclast membranes and focused on the function of channel proteins in osteoclast differentiation and function. We filtered out with a SEQUEST score greater than 10 and a peptide hit number of more than 2, resulting in the identification of 499 proteins that were commonly found in both macrophages and osteoclasts, 96 proteins selectively found in osteoclasts, and 179 proteins selectively found in macrophages. The proteins that were selectively found in osteoclasts were classified based on their localizations: plasma membrane (17%), ER/Golgi and lysosome/endosome (15%), mitochondrion (18%), nucleus (13%), cytosol (19%), and unknown (18%). Proteins associated with osteoclast function such as v-ATPase, IGF2R, TRAP, and cathepsin K were found in osteoclasts as previously shown. We found several ion channel proteins such as Ank and Nhedc2 and signaling molecules such as Dock5 and RAB-10 in osteoclasts. Inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger family by amiloride suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast fusion and bone resorption. In addition, shRNA for Nhedc2 inhibited osteoclast differentiation. Our results provide a proteomic profile of osteoclast membrane proteins and identify Nhedc2, which is probably associated with proton transport in osteoclasts, as a regulator of osteoclast function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE GH and IGF-I exert an important role in the control of bone formation, as shown by decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk in adult hypopituitary patients untreated for GH deficiency (GHD). Different degrees of bone demineralization are frequently reported in patients affected by beta-thalassaemia. Considering the high prevalence of GHD recently observed by our group among adult thalassaemic patients, we elected to study the possible role of GH-IGF-I abnormalities in the pathogenesis of the osteopenia/osteoporosis of this disease. DESIGN Sixty-four adult thalassaemic patients (49 with thalassaemia major and 15 with thalassaemia intermedia, 23 men and 41 women, aged 31.4 +/- 6.8 years) were studied. METHODS Bone mineral density was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at lumbar spine in 62 patients and at proximal femur in 58. All patients underwent GHRH (1 microg/kg as an i.v. bolus) plus arginine (0.5 g/kg as a 30-min i.v. infusion) testing. Severe GHD was defined by GH peaks < 9 microg/l, whereas partial GHD was defined by GH peaks ranging from 9 to 16.5 microg/l. Blood samples for IGF-I measurement were collected. RESULTS Lumbar osteoporosis and osteopenia were demonstrated in 46/62 (74.1%) and 14/62 (22.5%) patients, respectively. Femoral osteoporosis and osteopenia were documented in 22/58 (37.9%) and 32/58 (55.1%) patients, respectively. Severe GHD was demonstrated in 16/64 patients (25%), while 11 additional patients (17.1%) displayed partial GHD. IGF-I standard deviation score (SDS) was low, that is, below -1.88, in the majority (54.6%) of patients. Lumbar T-score values were not correlated with either GH peaks or IGF-I SDS values. Femoral T-score values were positively correlated with GH peaks (r = 0.38, P < 0.005) and IGF-I SDS values (r = 0.39, P < 0.005). Multiple regression analysis pointed to both GH peak and IGF-I SDS as predictors of femoral T-score. Furthermore, mean femoral T-score was significantly lower in patients with severe GHD than in those with normal GH secretion (-2.94 +/- 0.25 vs.-2.15 +/- 0.12, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION This study, while confirming the high prevalence of both osteopenia/osteoporosis and somatotropin-somatomedin deficiency in adult thalassaemic patients, indicates that defective GH secretion and diminished serum IGF-I levels may contribute to femoral demineralization in these patients. Further studies are worth carrying out to evaluate the efficacy of biosynthetic GH administration on bone abnormalities of GH-deficient thalassaemic adults.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are key players in bone remodeling. The accessibility of human primary osteoblast-like cells (HObs) from bone explants makes them a lucrative model for studying molecular physiology of bone turnover, for discovering novel anabolic therapeutics, and for mesenchymal cell biology in general. Relatively little is known about resting and dynamic expression profiles of HObs, and to date no studies have been conducted to systematically assess the osteoblast transcriptome. The aim of this study was to characterize HObs and investigate signaling cascades and gene networks with genomewide expression profiling in resting and bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-2- and dexamethasone-induced cells. In addition, we compared HOb gene expression with publicly available samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Our data show a vast number of genes and networks expressed predominantly in HObs compared with closely related cells such as fibroblasts or chondrocytes. For instance, genes in the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway were enriched in HObs (P = 0.003) and included the binding proteins (IGFBP-1, -2, -5) and IGF-II and its receptor. Another HOb-specific expression pattern included leptin and its receptor (P < 10(-8)). Furthermore, after stimulation of HObs with BMP-2 or dexamethasone, the expression of several interesting genes and pathways was observed. For instance, our data support the role of peripheral leptin signaling in bone cell function. In conclusion, we provide the landscape of tissue-specific and dynamic gene expression in HObs. This resource will allow utilization of osteoblasts as a model to study specific gene networks and gene families related to human bone physiology and diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Serum IGF-I level was negatively correlated with OPG and OPG/RANKL ratio, but positively correlated with RANKL. Serum OPG level in the highest quintile of IGF-I was significantly lower than that in the lowest. We conclude that the effect of IGF-I on bone remodeling may be mediated by the OPG/RANKL system. INTRODUCTION Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is an important factor in coupling bone remodeling, activating both formation and resorption. Compared with the many studies on the role of IGF-I in bone formation, the information regarding its effects on bone resorption is limited and conflicting. The balance of the two peptides produced by osteoblasts, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), is critical for the bone resorption process. Our study was designed to analyze the relationships of serum concentrations of IGF-I with OPG, RANKL, OPG/RANKL ratio as well as BMDs in healthy Chinese women. METHODS BMDs at lumbar spine and proximal femur in 504 pre- and postmenopausal women were measured by DXA. Serum levels of IGF-I, OPG and RANKL were also measured. Pearson's correlation and partial correlation analysis, ANOVA, covariance analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used as appropriate. RESULTS Age was negatively correlated with serum levels of IGF-I (r = -0.702, p < 0.001). IGF-I was negatively correlated with OPG and OPG/RANKL ratio, but positively correlated with RANKL. The relationship between IGF-I and BMDs disappeared after adjustment for age. In postmenopausal women, IGF-I was lower in women with osteoporosis than in those with normal BMD (p = 0.056), but no differences were found among OPG, RANKL and OPG/RANKL ratio. Serum levels of OPG in the highest quintile of IGF-I were significantly lower than those in the lowest quintile of IGF-I, while no difference was found in RANKL. In the multiple regression analysis model, serum levels of IGF-I were the main determinants of the bone mass in Chinese women. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the relationship between decreasing IGF-I and BMDs in healthy Chinese women influenced by age, whereas the effect of IGF-I on bone remodeling (bone resorption) may be mediated by the OPG/RANKL system.

Abstract
Dental disease due to osteoclast (OC) overactivity reaches epidemic proportions in older domestic cats and has also been reported in wild cats. Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORL) involve extensive resorption of the tooth, leaving it liable to root fracture and subsequent loss. The etiopathogenesis of FORL remains unclear. Here, we explore the hypothesis that FORL is associated with hypoxia in the oral microenvironment, leading to increased OC activity. To investigate this, we developed a method of generating OCs from cat blood. Reducing O2 from 20% to 2% increased the mean area of OC eightfold from 0.01 to 0.08 mm2. In hypoxic cultures, very large OCs containing several hundred nuclei were evident (reaching a maximum size of approximately 14 mm2). Cultures exposed to 2% O2 exhibited an increase of approximately 13-fold in the area of bone slices covered by resorption lacunae. In line with this finding, there was a significant increase in cells differentiating under hypoxic conditions, reflected in increased expression of cathepsin K and proton pump enzymes. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that oxygen tension is a major regulator of OC formation in the cat. However, in this species, hypoxia induces the formation of "giant" OCs, which can be so large as to be visible with the naked eye and yet also actively resorb. This suggests that local hypoxia is likely to play a key role in the pathogenesis of FORL and other inflammatory conditions that are associated with bone resorption in cats.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We showed that IGF-I deficiency impaired osteoclastogenesis directly and/or indirectly by altering the interaction between stromal/osteoblastic cells and osteoclast precursors, reducing RANKL and M-CSF production. These changes lead to impaired bone resorption, resulting in high BV/TV in IGF-I null mice. INTRODUCTION Although IGF-I has been clearly identified as an important growth factor in regulating osteoblast function, information regarding its role in osteoclastogenesis is limited. Our study was designed to analyze the role of IGF-I in modulating osteoclastogenesis using IGF-I knockout mice (IGF-I(-/-)). MATERIALS AND METHODS Trabecular bone volume (BV/TV), osteoclast number, and morphology of IGF-I(-/-) or wildtype mice (IGF-I(+/+)) were evaluated in vivo by histological analysis. Osteoclast precursors from these mice were cultured in the presence of RANKL and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) or co-cultured with stromal/osteoblastic cells from either genotype. Osteoclast formation was assessed by measuring the number of multinucleated TRACP+ cells and pit formation. The mRNA levels of osteoclast regulation markers were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS In vivo, IGF-I(-/-) mice have higher BV/TV and fewer (76% of IGF-I(+/+)) and smaller osteoclasts with fewer nuclei. In vitro, in the presence of RANKL and M-CSF, osteoclast number (55% of IGF-I(+/+)) and resorptive area (30% of IGF-I(+/+)) in osteoclast precursor cultures from IGF-I(-/-) mice were significantly fewer and smaller than that from the IGF-I(+/+) mice. IGF-I (10 ng/ml) increased the size, number (2.6-fold), and function (resorptive area, 2.7-fold) of osteoclasts in cultures from IGF-I(+/+) mice, with weaker stimulation in cultures from IGF-I(-/-) mice. In co-cultures of IGF-I(-/-) osteoblasts with IGF-I(+/+) osteoclast precursors, or IGF-I(+/+) osteoblasts with IGF-I(-/-) osteoclast precursors, the number of osteoclasts formed was only 11% and 48%, respectively, of that from co-cultures of IGF-I(+/+) osteoblasts and IGF-I(+/+) osteoclast precursors. In the long bones from IGF-I(-/-) mice, mRNA levels of RANKL, RANK, M-CSF, and c-fms were 55%, 33%, 60%, and 35% of that from IGF-I(+/+) mice, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that IGF-I regulates osteoclastogenesis by promoting their differentiation. IGF-I is required for maintaining the normal interaction between the osteoblast and osteoclast to support osteoclastogenesis through its regulation of RANKL and RANK expression.

Abstract
Growth hormone plays an important role in bone metabolism. Treating bone deficits is a major topic in orthopaedic surgery. Our hypothesis was that local continuous growth hormone administration stimulates bone healing in a canine critical-sized bone defect model. Bone formation in the defects was quantified using densitometric image analysis and histomorphometry. After growth hormone treatment, expression levels of insulin-like growth factors-I and II, and growth hormone receptor were determined in the bone regenerate of the original defects. Circulating plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factors-I and II, and insulin- like growth factor binding proteins-4, and 6 were measured during treatment. Growth hormone administration resulted in healing of bone defects but without an additional effect of local infusion. Expression of insulin-like growth factor-I in the bone regenerate was lower in the growth hormone-treated dogs, whereas insulin-like growth factor-II and growth hormone receptor expression were not increased. Growth hormone increased circulating insulin-like growth factor-I and growth factor-II plasma concentrations. Continuous infusion of growth hormone stimulated bone healing in a canine critical-sized bone defect model. Local delivery of growth hormone did not additionally enhance bone healing. Increased circulating plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factors-I and II most likely induced bone formation.

Abstract
Osteotropic growth factors play an important role in bone metabolism. Nevertheless, knowledge about their expression in relation to distraction osteogenesis remains limited. The aim of the present study was to determine the expression of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) in distraction-induced bone regeneration. Expression of these factors was assessed during the consolidation phase, comparing distraction osteogenesis with osteotomy-induced bone formation. Real-time PCR was performed as a semiquantitative measurement of mRNA, and the relative expression levels of these factors were determined. In addition, plasma GH profiles and plasma concentrations of IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4 and -6 (IGFBP-4 and -6) were measured to assess their potential systemic role during bone formation. Expression of GHR, IGF-I, and BMP-2 had significantly increased in comparison with the expression of these factors in mature bone. Expression of GHR was significantly higher in distraction-induced bone regenerate than in osteotomy-induced bone. No significant differences were found for the expression of IGF-I and BMP-2 between distraction and osteotomy. Plasma concentrations of GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-4, and IGFBP-6 did not demonstrate any significant differences between treatment groups and controls. Upregulation of GHR expression in distraction osteogenesis may enhance sensitivity to endogenous systemic GH and thus promote consolidation of the regenerated bone. Changes in the systemic osteotropic growth factors GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-4, and IGFBP-6 do not seem to be of importance during distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an important role in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of bone formation and remodeling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the autocrine IGF system during osteogenic differentiation in rat tibial osteoblasts (ROB) in culture. In this in vitro model, the stages of osteogenesis studied were S1, corresponding to the onset of alkaline phosphatase (AP) expression (days 0-3); S2, coincident with the peak of AP expression in differentiation culture conditions (days 4-6), and S3, corresponding to the onset of mineral deposition in the extracellular matrix (days 7-9). The results showed that conditioned medium of ROB contains greater amounts of IGF-II than IGF-I at all differentiation stages. Both peptides showed the highest concentrations on day 3 of differentiation (end of S1). All IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), except IGFBP-1 and -6, were detected, and IGFBP-2 was the most abundant IGFBP present in the conditioned media, and its degradation increased from S1 to S3. By semiquantitative RT-PCR, IGF-I and IGF-II were highly expressed on days 3 and 6, whereas IGFBP-2 was constantly expressed. We focused our study on the role of IGF-II and IGFBP-2 on the synthesis of AP, an early marker of osteoblast maturation. The results showed that a significant increase in AP expression was induced by IGF-II added to the differentiating osteoblasts continuously or in S1 but not in S2 or S3. IGFBP-2 was able to potentiate endogenous and exogenous IGF-II-dependent stimulation of AP activity, and its proteolytic degradation in late stages of osteogenesis (S2 and S3) was highly correlated with the increase of active matrix metalloproteinase-2 in the CM and with the decreased efficacy of IGF-II action. These data suggest that IGFBP-2, at nearly equimolar concentration with IGF-II, plays a potentiating role in IGF-II action on ROB differentiation in vitro.

Abstract
IGF-I is an endocrine and paracrine regulator of skeletal homeostasis, principally by virtue of its anabolic effects on osteoblastic cells. In the current study, we examined the intracellular signaling pathways by which IGF-I promotes proliferation and survival in SaOS-2 human osteoblastic cells. Inhibition of each of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase), p42/44 MAPK, and p70s6 kinase pathways partially inhibited the ability of IGF-I to stimulate osteoblast proliferation and survival. Because activation of p70s6 kinase is downstream of both PI-3 kinase and p42/44 MAPK activation in osteoblasts treated with IGF-I, this ribosomal kinase represents a convergence point for IGF-I-induced PI-3 kinase and p42/44 MAPK signaling in osteoblastic cells. In addition, abrogation of PI-3 kinase-dependent Akt signaling, which does not inhibit IGF-I-induced p70s6 kinase phosphorylation, also inhibited the antiapoptotic effects of IGF-I in osteoblasts. Finally, interruption of G beta gamma signaling partially abrogated the ability of IGF-I to promote osteoblast survival, without inhibiting signaling through PI-3 kinase/Akt, p42/44 MAPKs, or p70s6 kinase. These data suggest that IGF-I signals osteoblast mitogenesis and survival through parallel, partly overlapping intracellular pathways involving PI-3 kinase, p42/44 MAPKs, and G beta gamma subunits.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone secreted from the pituitary gland under the control of the hypothalamus. It has a many actions in the body, including regulating a number of metabolic pathways. Some, but not all, of its effects are mediated through insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Both GH and IGF-I play significant roles in the regulation of growth and bone metabolism and hence are regulators of bone mass. Bone mass increases steadily through childhood, peaking in the mid 20s. Subsequently, there is a slow decline that accelerates in late life. During childhood, the accumulation in bone mass is a combination of bone growth and bone remodeling. Bone remodeling is the process of new bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. GH directly and through IGF-I stimulates osteoblast proliferation and activity, promoting bone formation. It also stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity, promoting bone resorption. The result is an increase in the overall rate of bone remodeling, with a net effect of bone accumulation. The absence of GH results in a reduced rate of bone remodeling and a gradual loss of bone mineral density. Bone growth primarily occurs at the epiphyseal growth plates and is the result of the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. GH has direct effects on these chondrocytes, but primarily regulates this function through IGF-I, which stimulates the proliferation of and matrix production by these cells. GH deficiency severely limits bone growth and hence the accumulation of bone mass. GH deficiency is not an uncommon complication in oncology and has long-term effects on bone health.
