Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ under constant metabolism (or remodeling), where a delicate balance between bone resorption and bone formation is maintained. Disruption of this coordinated bone remodeling results in bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, the most common bone disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density and microarchitectural deterioration. Epidemiological and clinical evidence support that consumption of dairy products is beneficial for bone health; this benefit is often attributed to the presence of calcium, the physiological contributions of milk proteins on bone metabolism, however, are underestimated. Emerging evidence highlighted that not only milk proteins (including individual milk proteins) but also their derived peptides positively regulate bone remodeling and attenuate bone loss, via the regulation of cellular markers and signaling of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This article aims to review current knowledge about the roles of milk proteins, with an emphasis on individual milk proteins, bioactive peptides derived from milk proteins, and effect of milk processing in particular fermentation, on bone metabolism, to highlight the potential uses of milk proteins in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and, to discuss the knowledge gap and to recommend future research directions.

Abstract
This work evaluated the bone-forming potential of the platelet-derived growth factor isoform BB (PDGF-BB), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and mixed PDGF-BB/IGF-I delivered in liposomes compared with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), in the healing process of rat tooth sockets. One hundred and twelve Wistar rats were randomized into 7 groups of 16 animals each and were evaluated at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after extraction of the maxillary second molars. The left sockets were treated with PBS (P), empty liposome (L), IGF-I in PBS (IP), IGF-I in liposome (IL), PDGF-BB in PBS (PDP), PDGF-BB in liposome (PDL) and both growth factors (GFs) together within liposomes (PDIL). The right sockets were filled with blood clot (BC). Histological and histomorphometric analyses were used to evaluate the formation of new bone and blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of osteocalcin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during bone repair. Data were tested statistically using a Tukey's test according to a Dunn's analysis and Mann-Whitney U test followed by Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis. Results were considered significant when p<0.05. A significantly higher percentage of bone trabeculae and a higher number of blood vessels were observed in the IL, PDL and PDIL groups (p<0.05). However, these GF-liposome groups had statistically similar results. Immunohistochemical assays first detected osteocalcin and VEGF expression at 3 days followed by a peak at 7 days. Lower immunoreactivity levels were observed in the BC, L, P, IP and PDP groups compared with the IL, PDL and PDIL groups (p<0.05). The results suggest that GFs carried by liposomes, either in isolated or mixed forms, enhanced the healing process in rat tooth sockets. The differential expression of the osteogenic markers VEGF and osteocalcin in the early phases of bone healing support these findings.

Abstract
The effects of polyolefinic compound from roots of Cirsium palustre, (Z)-8,9-epoxyheptadeca-1,11,14-triene (EHT) on collagen biosynthesis, prolidase activity, expression of insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR), β1 integrin, MAP kinases (pERK1/2), the transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were evaluated in human dermal fibroblasts treated with micromolar concentrations (40-200 μM) for 24 h. It was found that EHT-dependent inhibition of collagen biosynthesis was accompanied by parallel inhibition in prolidase activity. Since IGF-I is the most potent regulator of both processes and prolidase is regulated by β1 integrin signalling, the effect of EHT on IGF-IR and β1 integrin receptor expressions were evaluated. Exposure of the cells to EHT contributed to distinct increase in IGF-IR and slight increase in β1 integrin receptor expressions. It was accompanied by decrease in expression of pERK1/2, HIF-1α and NF-κB. EHT-dependent inhibition of collagen biosynthesis results from inhibition of prolidase activity, the enzyme involved in collagen biosynthesis.

Abstract
The oxythiamine (OXY) is antivitamin of thiamine. The finding that OXY increases the cytoplasmic concentration of pyruvate, known to enhance collagen biosynthesis, led us to investigate the mechanism of this antivitamin action on collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Confluent fibroblasts were treated with micromolar concentrations (30–1,000 µM) of OXY for 24 and 48 h. It was found that OXY-dependent increase in collagen biosynthesis was accompanied by parallel increase in prolidase activity and level, compared to untreated cells. Since phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is known as an inhibitor of prolidase—the enzyme that plays important role in collagen biosynthesis, the mechanism of pyruvate interconversion was considered as a regulatory switch in collagen biosynthesis. In fact, 3-MPA, specific inhibitor of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), contributed to up-regulation of prolidase activity, suggesting that down-regulation of PEP formation is an underlying mechanism. Since collagen biosynthesis and prolidase activity are regulated by signal induced by activated α2β1 integrin receptor as well as insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR), the expression of these receptors was measured by Western immunoblot analysis. The exposure of the cells to OXY contributed to decrease in IGF-IR, α2β1 integrin receptor, pERK1/2, and NF-κB p65 expressions. It was accompanied by increase in total ERK1/2 expression and induction of phosphorylation of Akt protein. The data suggest that OXY-dependent increase of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts results from activation of prolidase activity and level, induction in pAkt expression and down-regulation of pERK1/2 and NF-κB p65, the known inhibitor of collagen gene expression.

Abstract
Objectives Effects of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), fibroblast growth
factor 2 (FGF2) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) on the expression
of genes involved in the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts
in culture were analysed. The best sequence of growth factor addition
that induces expansion of cells before their differentiation was
sought. Methods Primary human osteoblasts in in vitro culture
were treated with IGF1, BMP2 or FGF2 (10 ng/ml) for 24 hours (IGF1)
or 48 hours (BMP2 and FGF2). Experiments were performed during the
exponential growth phase with approximately 1e7 cells per 75 cm2 flask.
mRNA was reverse transcribed directly and analysed using RT-PCR
Taqman assays. Expression levels of key genes involved in cell growth
and differentiation (CDH11, TNFRSF11B, RUNX2, POSTN, ALP, WNT5A,
LEF1, HSPA5, FOS, p21) were monitored using RT-PCR with gene-specific
Taqman probes. Results Autocrine expression of BMP2 is stimulated by FGF2 and BMP2 itself.
BMP2 and FGF2 act as proliferative factors as indicated by reduced
expression of ALP and POSTN, whereas IGF1 exhibits a more subtle
picture: the Wingless und Int-1 (Wnt) signalling pathway and the
Smad pathway, but not p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signalling,
were shown to be activated by IGF1, leading to proliferation and
differentiation of the cells. Conclusions For future use of autologous bone cells in the management of
bony defects, new treatment options take advantage of growth factors
and differentiation factors. Thus, our results might help to guide
the timely application of these factors for the expansion and subsequent
differentiation of osteoblastic cells in culture. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2014;3:236–40.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cellular processes are regulated by signals generated by adhesion receptors and growth factor receptors. IGFbinding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) is a molecule which may affect the both signaling pathways through inactivation of IGF-I (ligand for IGF-IR) and binding to RGD region of integrin receptors. Whether this phenomenon is important in communication between insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) and β1-integrin receptor in regulation of prolidase activity and collagen biosynthesis is the aim of this study. MATERIAL AND METHOD We studied the effects of IGFBP-1, IGF-I, thrombin (integrin activator), echistatin (disintegrin), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor (LY-294002) and ERK 1/2 inhibitors (PD98059 and UO126) on prolidase activity, collagen biosynthesis and expression of proteins participating in pathways generated by these receptors. RESULTS Stimulation of β1-integrin and IGF-I receptors by standard ligands was proved to up-regulate collagen synthesis in cultured fibroblasts. IGFBP-1, similarly as echistatin and studied inhibitors, contributed to down-regulation of ERK1/2, Akt, mTOR expression and up-regulation of NFκB. It was accompanied by parallel decrease in prolidase activity and collagen biosynthesis. CONCLUSION The data suggest that "cross talk" between IGF-I receptor and integrin receptor may play important role in regulation of prolidase activity and collagen biosynthesis.

Abstract
The effects of UVC on collagen biosynthesis, prolidase activity, expression of α₂β₁ integrin, IGF-I receptor, FAK, MAP-kinases (ERK1 and ERK2) and the transcription factor NF-κB p65 were evaluated in human dermal fibroblasts. Confluent fibroblasts were treated with UVC light at a rates of 30 and 60 J/m(2). It was found that UVC-dependent decrease in collagen biosynthesis was not accompanied by parallel decrease in prolidase activity and expression. Since insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) and α₂β₁ integrin signaling are the most potent regulators of collagen biosynthesis, the effect of UVC on IGF-IR and α₂β₁ integrin receptor expressions were evaluated. It was found that the exposure of the cells to UVC contributed to decrease in α₂β₁ integrin receptor and FAK expression and to an increase in IGF-IR and pERK1, pERK2 expressions. It was accompanied by an increase in the expression of NF-κB p65, the known inhibitor of collagen gene expression. The data suggest that UVC-dependent decrease of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts results from decrease in α₂β₁ integrin receptor signaling and activation of NF-κB p65, that is responsible for down-regulation of collagen gene expression.

Abstract
The advent of improved glucose control with insulin and oral medications has allowed for the diabetic population to live longer and healthier lives. Unfortunately diabetes remains a worldwide epidemic with multiple health implications. Specifically, its affects upon fracture healing have been well studied and shown to have negative effects on bone mineral density, biomechanical integrity, and fracture healing. Multiple animal models have been used for research purposes to gain further insight into the effects and potential treatments of this disease process. The diabetic BB Wistar rat is one model that replicates a close homology to human type-1 diabetes and has been used as a fracture model to study the effects of diabetes on bone integrity and healing. In particular, the effects of tight glucose control, ultrasound therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and allograft bone incorporation have been studied extensively. We present a review of the literature using the BB Wistar rat to elucidate the implications of diabetes on fracture healing.

Abstract
The finding that hydralazine (HYD) affects collagen metabolism led us to investigate the mechanism of its action on collagen biosynthesis, prolidase expression and activity, expression of α2β1 integrin, insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (ERK1, ERK2), and transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) in human dermal fibroblasts. Confluent fibroblasts were treated with micromolar concentrations (50–500 μM) of HYD for 24 h. HYD had no influence on cell viability. It was found that HYD-dependent increase in collagen biosynthesis was accompanied by a parallel increase in prolidase activity and expression, HIF-1α expression, and decrease in DNA biosynthesis, compared to untreated cells. Since collagen biosynthesis and prolidase activity are regulated by a signal induced by activated α2β1 integrin receptor as well as IGF-IR, the expression of these receptors was measured by Western immunoblot analysis. The exposure of the cells to HYD contributed to the increase in IGF-IR expression without any effect on α2β1 integrin receptor and FAK expressions. It was accompanied by a decrease in expression of MAP kinases and NF-κB p65, the known inhibitor of collagen gene expression. The data suggest that the HYD-dependent increase of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts results from activation of IGF-IR expression and prolidase activity and downregulation of NF-κB p65.

Abstract
Patients on long-term dialysis may develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) with increased serum concentrations of bone resorption markers such as the cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) and type-5b tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). When SHPT proves refractory to treatment, parathyroidectomy (PTX) may be needed. Renal patients on maintenance HD who received PTX for refractory SHPT (n = 23) or who did not develop refractory SHPT (control subjects; n = 25) were followed prospectively for 4 weeks. Serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), NTX, TRAP, and bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) concentrations were measured serially and correlation analyses were performed. iPTH values decreased rapidly and dramatically. BAP values increased progressively with peak increases observed at 2 weeks after surgery. NTX and TRAP values decreased concurrently and progressively through 4 weeks following PTX. A significant correlation between TRAP and NTX values was observed before PTX but not at 4 weeks after PTX. Additionally, the fractional changes in serum TRAP were larger than those in serum NTX at all times examined after PTX. Serum iPTH, TRAP, and NTX values declined rapidly following PTX for SHPT. Serum TRAP values declined to greater degrees than serum NTX values throughout the 4-week period following PTX.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in chronic renal disease. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), an extracellular cytokine receptor secreted by osteoblasts, can promote bone formation by inhibiting the function of osteoclasts. Hemodialysis (HD) patients have elevated serum OPG levels. OPG secretion can be suppressed with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. HD patients with refractory SHPT can benefit from parathyroidectomy (PTX) treatment, but the changes of serum OPG, bone turnover markers and bone mineral density (BMD) following PTX in HD patients remain unclear. In this study, patients on maintenance HD who received PTX for refractory SHPT (n = 28) were prospectively followed for 1 year. Serum intact PTH (iPTH), alkaline phosphatase (Alk-P), and OPG were measured serially; BMD was measured pre-PTX and at 1 year after PTX. After PTX, serum iPTH levels reduced profoundly. Serum Alk-P levels increased rapidly, peaking at 2 weeks post-PTX, while serum OPG levels gradually increased at 2 weeks after PTX and peaked at 2 months. BMD improved in both femoral neck (FN; cancellous and cortical bone) and lumbar spine (LS; cancellous bone). Higher baseline iPTH levels were associated with greater FN and LS BMD improvements at one year after PTX. The increment of serum OPG was correlated with the increase in LS BMD, implying that inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption may improve BMD within the first year after PTX. These findings suggest that PTX removes the suppressive effects of high PTH on OPG secretion, resulting in the increased serum OPG levels that may contribute to BMD improvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of mechano-growth factor E (MGF-E) peptide derived from an IGF-1 isoform on the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts. METHODS MGF-E peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminal 24 amino acid peptide of human MGF was synthesized. MGF-E (1 nM) peptide was then used to treat the pre-osteoblast line MC3T3-E1. At predetermined times, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was quantified using an enzyme activity assay kit. The expression levels of collagen I (Col I) and osteopontin (OPN), and core binding factor 1 (Cbfα-1) were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. The effect of MGF-E on mineralization was determined by Alizarin Red staining and calcium concentration analysis. The kinase inhibitor PD98059 was used to investigate Erk pathway involvement in the MGF-E role. RESULTS In the MGF-E-treated osteoblasts, ALP activity decreased with increased Erk activation. The transcription and translation of Col I were inhibited, but those of OPN were enhanced. PD98059 abolished the inhibitory effect and increased the expression of Col I, but decreased that of OPN. Treatment with MGF-E alone up-regulated the mRNA and total protein levels of Cbfα-1, but decreased the fraction of activated Cbfα-1 in the nucleus. Mineralization was delayed by MGF-E, as shown by the bone nodule staining and calcium concentration analysis. These delayed actions were weakened after treatment with PD98059. CONCLUSIONS MGF-E could inhibit osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. The possible mechanisms are increased Erk activity and decreased Cbfα-1 nuclear translocation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The reason for enhanced fracture healing in traumatic brain injury patients is not clearly understood. It is possible that factors inherent in the brain passing through the blood-brain barrier to the peripheral circulation, or a disruption of central nervous system (CNS) control of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), stimulates the process of fracture healing. METHODS In this study, we assessed proliferation [using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay] and differentiation [using alkaline phosphatase (ALP)] in rat osteoblasts incubated with gray matter or other tissue extracts with and without the addition of an α- or β-adrenergic receptor blocker (phentolamine or propranolol). RESULTS Gray matter extract from normal brain caused a dose-dependent increase in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Serum from normal rats enhanced differentiation but not proliferation. Alpha-receptor blockade had no effect on proliferation or differentiation. Beta-receptor blockade caused a partial, but statistically significant, decrease in gray matter stimulation of osteoblast differentiation. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that gray matter extract from normal brain increases osteoblast proliferation and differentiation and that β receptors may be involved in differentiation under these conditions.

Abstract
The interaction between receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) plays a dominant role in osteoclastogenesis. As both proteins are produced by osteoblast lineage cells, they are considered to represent a key link between bone formation and resorption. In this study, we investigated the expression of RANKL and OPG during bone remodeling in vivo to determine the relationship between osteoclastogenic stimulation and osteoblastic differentiation. Total RNA was prepared from rat femurs after marrow ablation on days 0, 3, 6, and 9. The temporal activation patterns of osteoblast-related genes (procollagen α1 (I), alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, and osteocalcin) were examined by Northern blot analysis. An appreciable increase in the expression of these osteoblast markers was observed on day 3. The peak increase in gene expression was observed on day 6 followed by a slight reduction by day 9. Real-time PCR analysis showed that the OPG mRNA expression was markedly upregulated on day 6 and slightly decreased on day 9. In contrast, RANKL mRNA expression was increased by more than 20-fold on day 9. The RANKL/OPG ratio, an index of osteoclastogenic stimulation, peaked on day 9. Histological analysis showed that RANKL and OPG immunoreactivity were predominantly associated with bone marrow cells. The expression of bone formation markers was activated in the bone formation phase, followed by the stimulation of RANKL/OPG expression in the bone resorption phase, which confirmed that these molecules are key factors linking bone formation to resorption during bone remodeling.

Abstract
The effects of the flavonoid compound scutellarin (SCUT) on collagen biosynthesis, prolidase activity, expression of β₁ integrin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor and the transcription factor NF-κB were evaluated in human dermal fibroblasts. Confluent fibroblasts were treated with micromolar concentrations (10-30 µM) of SCUT for 24 h. It was found that a SCUT-dependent decrease in collagen biosynthesis was accompanied by an increase in prolidase activity. Since the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) is the most potent regulator of both collagen biosynthesis and prolidase activity, and prolidase is regulated by β₁ integrin signalling, the effect of SCUT on IGF-IR and β₁ integrin receptor expressions were evaluated. It was found that the exposure of the cells to SCUT contributed to an increase in IGF-IR and β₁ integrin receptor expressions. This was accompanied by an increase in expression of NF-κB, the known inhibitor of collagen gene expression. These data suggest that the SCUT-dependent decrease of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts results from activation of NF-κB, which is responsible for the down-regulation of collagen gene expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human adipose-derived stromal cells possess a great potential for tissue engineering purposes. The authors' laboratory is interested in harnessing human adipose-derived stromal cells for skeletal tissue regeneration and identifying those factors that enhance human adipose-derived stromal cell osteogenic differentiation. The authors hypothesized that insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) would stimulate human adipose-derived stromal cell osteogenesis and that IGF would stimulate adipogenesis. METHODS Adipose-derived stromal cells were harvested from human lipoaspirate. Previously, a microarray analysis examined gene expression throughout osteogenic differentiation. In a candidate fashion, the authors added recombinant IGF-1 and PDGF-alpha individually and in combination. Osteogenesis and adipogenesis were assessed by alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red, and oil red O staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RUNX2, ALP, OCN, IGF1, PPARG, LPL, AP2, and GCP1). Finally, intersection between IGF and PDGF signaling pathways was evaluated. RESULTS IGF-1 was observed to increase osteogenic differentiation by all markers (p < 0.01). However, PDGF-alpha when added alone primarily did not affect osteogenic markers. PDGF-alpha positively regulated transcription of IGF1. Addition of PDGF-alpha in combination with or before IGF-1 enhanced osteogenesis more than either alone. IGF-1 increased whereas PDGF-alpha diminished human adipose-derived stromal cell adipogenesis. CONCLUSIONS IGF signaling significantly increased osteogenesis in human adipose-derived stromal cells and may be used for tissue-engineering purposes. The combination of PDGF and IGF may be more beneficial than either alone in driving adipose-derived stromal cell osteogenesis. Future in vivo applications will focus on the combination of adipose-derived stromal cells, biomimetic scaffolds, and recombinant IGF.

Abstract
In myocardial disease, elevated expression and activity of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) are detrimental. To better understand the involvement of NHE1, transgenic mice with elevated heart-specific NHE1 expression were studied. N-line mice expressed wild-type NHE1, and K-line mice expressed activated NHE1. Cardiac morphology, interstitial fibrosis, and cardiac function were examined by histological staining and echocardiography. Differences in gene expression between the N-line or K-line and nontransgenic littermates were probed with genechip analysis. We found that NHE1 K-line (but not N-line) hearts developed hypertrophy, including elevated heart weight-to-body weight ratio and increased cross-sectional area of the cardiomyocytes, interstitial fibrosis, as well as depressed cardiac function. N-line hearts had modest changes in gene expression (50 upregulations and 99 downregulations, P < 0.05), whereas K-line hearts had a very strong transcriptional response (640 upregulations and 677 downregulations, P < 0.05). In addition, the magnitude of expression alterations was much higher in K-line than N-line mice. The most significant changes in gene expression were involved in cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac necrosis/cell death, and cardiac infarction. Secreted phosphoprotein 1 and its signaling pathways were upregulated while peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma signaling was downregulated in K-line mice. Our study shows that expression of activated NHE1 elicits specific pathways of gene activation in the myocardium that lead to cardiac hypertrophy, cell death, and infarction.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously being remodeled throughout life. Specialized cells called osteoclasts transiently break down old bone (resorption process) at multiple sites as other cells known as osteoblasts are replacing it with new tissue (bone formation). Usually, both resorption and formation processes are in balance and thereby maintain skeletal strength and integrity. This equilibrium is assured by the coordination of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and secretory functions of the osteoblasts, which are essential for adequate formation and resorption processes. Disturbances of this equilibrium may lead to decreased bone mass (osteoporosis), increased bone fragility, and susceptibility to fractures. Epidemiological studies have linked insufficient dietary magnesium (Mg2+) intake in humans with low bone mass and osteoporosis. Here, we investigated the roles of Mg2+ and melastatin-like transient receptor potential 7 (TRPM7), known as Mg2+ channels, in human osteoblast cell proliferation and migration induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which has been involved in the bone remodeling process. PDGF promoted an influx of Mg2+, enhanced cell migration, and stimulated the gene expression of TRPM7 channels in human osteoblast MG-63 cells. The stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and migration by PDGF was significantly reduced under culture conditions of low extracellular Mg2+ concentrations. Silencing TRPM7 expression in osteoblasts by specific small interfering RNA prevented the induction by PDGF of Mg2+ influx, proliferation, and migration. Our results indicate that extracellular Mg2+ and TRPM7 are important for PDGF-induced proliferation and migration of human osteoblasts. Thus Mg2+ deficiency, a common condition among the general population, may be associated with altered osteoblast functions leading to inadequate bone formation and the development of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common systemic disease that has been associated with poor fracture healing outcomes. The mechanism through which diabetes impairs bone regeneration is unknown. One possible mechanism may be related to either decreased or uncoordinated release of local growth factors at the fracture site. Indeed, previous studies have found reduced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) levels in the fracture callus of diabetic rats, suggesting that local application of PDGF may overcome the negative effects of diabetes and promote fracture healing. To test this hypothesis, low (22 microg) and high (75 ug) doses of recombinant human PDGF-BB (rhPDGF-BB) were applied directly to femur fracture sites in BB Wistar diabetic rats that were then compared to untreated or vehicle-treated animals. rhPDGF-BB treatment significantly increased early callus cell proliferation compared to that in control specimens. Low dose rhPDGF-BB treatment significantly increased callus peak torque values (p < 0.05) at 8 weeks after fracture as compared to controls. High dose rhPDGF-BB treatment increased callus bone area at 12 weeks postfracture. These data indicate that rhPDGF-BB treatment ameliorates the effects of diabetes on fracture healing by promoting early cellular proliferation that ultimately leads to more bone formation. Local application of rhPDGF-BB may be a new therapeutic approach to treat diabetes-impaired fracture healing.

Abstract
It is well known that suramin influences proliferation and differentiation of tumour cells. To study whether and how suramin effects osteosarcoma (OS) cells, proliferation, differentiation, LOX mRNA expression and telomerase activity (TA) was analysed in the human MG-63 and U-2 OS, and the rat UMR-106 OS cell lines. Data show that suramin inhibited proliferation in the human cell lines and upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity. TA was attenuated in the human cells while in UMR-106 it was not changed. In UMR-106 suramin had no influence on osteocalcin and LOX expression, in the human cells however, both genes were upregulated.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify genes that are differently expressed in osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic human bone and to describe the relationships between these genes using multivariate data analysis. METHODS Seven bone tissue samples from postmenopausal osteoporotic patients and 10 bone tissue samples from postmenopausal non-osteoporotic women were examined in our study. Messenger RNA was prepared from each sample and reverse transcribed to cDNA. The expression differences of 87 selected genes were analyzed in a Taqman probe-based quantitative real-time RT-PCR system. RESULTS A Mann-Whitney U-test indicated significant differences in the expression of nine genes (p < or = 0.05). Seven of these nine genes-ALPL, COL1A1, MMP2, MMP13, MMP9, PDGFA, NFKB1-were significantly downregulated in the bone tissue of osteoporotic women, while CD36 and TWIST2 were significantly upregulated in osteoporotic patients. Principal components analysis was used to evaluate data structure and the relationship between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic phenotypes based on the multiple mRNA expression profiles of 78 genes. Canonical variates analysis demonstrated further that osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic tissues can be distinguished by expression analysis of genes coding growth factors/non-collagen matrix molecules, and genes belonging to the canonical TGFB pathway. CONCLUSION Significant differences observed in gene expression profiles of osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic human bone tissues provide further insight into the pathogenesis of this disease. Characterization of the differences between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic bones by expression profiling will contribute to the development of diagnostic tools in the future.

Abstract
The mechanism of protective action of hyaluronic acid (HA) on collagen metabolism disturbances in tissues during inflammation is not known. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor and beta1-integrin receptor signaling plays an important role in the regulation of collagen biosynthesis at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of IL-1beta (inductor of experimental inflammation) on the signaling pathways as well as on collagen biosynthesis, gelatinases and prolidase activity in cultured human chondrocytes and the effect of HA on these processes. It was found that IL-1beta-dependent inhibition of collagen biosynthesis was accompanied by increase in beta1-integrin receptor, NF-kB expressions, and increase in phosphorylation of FAK, that resulted in stimulation of metalloproteinase MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities, but not prolidase activity and expression. Simultaneously, decrease in expression of IGF-I receptor and phosphorylation of Akt and p38 were found. All those processes were counteracted by HA. This suggests that cross talk between beta1-integrin and IGF-I receptors is disturbed by IL-1beta, and HA recovers their proper signaling in cultured chondrocytes. We propose that IGF-I receptor and beta1-integrin signaling may play an important role in protective effect of hyaluronic acid on interleukin-1-induced inhibition of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human chondrocytes.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) play important roles in regulating growth and differentiation of many different organs including teeth. The presence of these factors in the developing tooth has been demonstrated. In vitro studies using tooth explants grown in the presence of IGFs suggest that they promote differentiation of ameloblast and odontoblasts cells. This is achieved by inducing or repressing gene expression associated with these cells. Since some of the genes involved in tooth differentiation are expressed by both cells, to determine the effect of IGF on odontoblast cell differentiation we first need a cell line in which a controlled environment can be created. In this study, we report the establishment and characterization of an Immortomouse-derived odontoblast-like cell line. This conditional cell line can grow indefinitely under permissive conditions in the presence of INF-gamma at 33 degrees C, differentiate into odontoblast-like cells and produce a mineralized extracellular matrix when the INF-gamma is removed and cell maintained at 39 degrees C. Addition of exogenous IGFs to the media results in an accelerated production of a mineralized matrix. This is the result of increased transcription of genes associated with bone mineralization while down regulating genes associated with dentin formation like DSPP. This data suggest that IGFs induce dental papillae mesenchyme cells to produce a bone-like mineralized extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Tissue formation and repair are dependent upon cascades of biological events, but the signals involved and the possible gene coexpression patterns during intramembranous bone repair are only poorly understood. We sought to place this mode of regeneration in context by profiling quantitative gene expression for a panel of 39 genes between days 1 and 14 following rat femoral marrow ablation. In situ hybridization was employed to localize a subset of genes. Additionally, principal components analysis was conducted to identify underlying factors suggestive of coexpression patterns. During inflammation (days 1-5), several genes, including cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, showed downregulation. Other proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta, exhibited increasing levels around day 5. During repair (days 3-10), growth factors, receptors, and inhibitor genes for transforming growth factor- beta; basic fibroblast growth factor; bone morphogenetic proteins 2, 4, and 7; vascular endothelial growth factor; and insulin-like growth factor-I were upregulated. In addition, the gene for core binding factor-alpha1 and markers of osteoblast function such as alkaline phosphatase, collagen type I, osteonectin, osteopontin, and osteocalcin had peak expression at day 5 or 7. The remodeling phase (days 10-14) was characterized by peaks for cytokines associated with osteoclastic activity including receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), cathepsin K, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and cyclooxygenase-2. In situ hybridization showed that the most common sites of increased signal were within osteoblastic cells on trabecular and endosteal surfaces. Principal components analysis identified eight underlying factors that together explained over 80% of the variance in the data.

Abstract
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is an IGF binding protein 4 protease that can function to increase local IGF-I bioavailability. Aside from its assumed role during pregnancy, in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated roles for PAPP-A in IGF-I-mediated wound healing, vascular repair, and bone formation. Because bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is known to up-regulate Igf-I gene expression, we hypothesized that PAPP-A may be involved in BMP-2 mechanisms in bone formation. To test this hypothesis, we quantified gene expression of Papp-A in response to BMP-2 treatment and runt-related transcription factor 2, Osterix, and Igf-I in response to PAPP-A protein treatment in human adult mesenchymal stem cells. Our results demonstrate that BMP-2 directly up-regulated Papp-A gene and protein expression. Purified PAPP-A protein directly up-regulated runt-related transcription factor 2 and Igf-I gene expression but not Osterix. When added in combination with recombinant human BMP-2, PAPP-A increased matrix mineralization in the absence of dexamethasone. PAPP-A further demonstrated an angiogenic effect in the chick chorioallontoic membrane, which implicates a critical developmental role and possible therapeutic potential. Our findings suggest that PAPP-A functions in the formation of mineralized tissues through direct up-regulation of key genes. Furthermore, PAPP-A is involved in the formation of new blood vessels, which is essential for proper bone regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to compare bone calcium system changes from children with diabetic ketoacidosis or acute metabolic acidosis due to dehydration to find out the relative contribution of metabolic acidosis and diabetes-related factors on expected negative calcium balance. We studied a set of non-invasive parameters of bone remodeling in 16 children with diabetic ketoacidosis due to new onset type 1 diabetes and 25 children with acute metabolic acidosis due to dehydration complicating acute gastroenteritis before and after the correction of acidosis. The two groups of subjects were matched for age, sex, pubertal status, and degree of metabolic acidosis and dehydration. A group of 18 age and sex-matched healthy children served as the control group. Plasma ionized calcium levels were increased in both groups, significantly more so in diabetic ketoacidosis. While osteoblastic markers, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase, were depressed to a comparable degree in both groups, urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and hydroxyproline excretion were significantly greater in diabetic ketoacidosis. No significant changes in calcitrophic hormone (intact PTH, calcitonin, 25-hydroxy vitamin D3) levels were observed. All study parameters except for serum phosphate levels behaved in parallel in both clinical conditions, and abnormalities disappeared with the correction of acidosis except for IGF-1, which remained low in diabetic subjects. In conclusion, our results suggest that, in diabetic ketoacidosis, the observed severe negative calcium balance occurred through diminished bone formation mediated by metabolic acidosis per se and increased bone mineral dissolution and bone resorption because of severe insulin deficiency and secondarily via metabolic acidosis. Observed changes appear to be independent of calcitrophic hormones.

Abstract
We studied bone mineral metabolism changes complicated by acute gastroenteritis in a clinical acute metabolic acidosis milieu where we observed hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and elevated urinary hydroxyproline excretion. Serum magnesium and plasma osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and IGF-1 levels were decreased. No significant changes in serum inorganic phosphate and plasma PTH, calcitonin, or 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 levels were detected. All abnormalities disappeared with the correction of acidosis. Observed hypercalcemia seems to be the result of increased calcium efflux from bone due to metabolic acidosis-induced catabolism of type 1 collagen and decreased osteoblastic activity. This study provides data regarding acute metabolic acidosis-induced changes in noninvasive parameters of bone modeling, assessed for the first time in humans.

Abstract
Context.-Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are thought to be responsible for bone formation; they cause bone to form in soft tissues and are clinically used in helping fracture union or tumor reconstructions. Skeletal metastases from epithelial tumors may be either bone-forming (blastic) or non-bone-forming (lytic).Objective.-We studied the expression of BMPs in a variety of primary and secondary lesions of bone (both bone-forming and non-bone-forming) to determine if there was a consistent relationship between bone formation and BMP expression.Design.-We compared a bone-forming lesion (fibrous dysplasia) with a non-bone-forming lesion (desmoid tumor), using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Northern blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry to detect BMPs. We also studied a number of non-bone-forming secondary lesions (carcinomas that formed lytic metastases to the skeleton) and found BMP production in most of these tumors.Results.-We found that BMPs were expressed in both bone-forming and non-bone-forming benign musculoskeletal lesions. In the first part of the study, BMPs were found in both fibrous dysplasia and desmoid tumors. Bone morphogenetic proteins were also expressed by several tumors. In the next part of the study (paraffin-embedded tissue), BMPs were expressed by a variety of tumors, irrespective of the radiological nature (blastic or lytic) of their metastases.Conclusions.-We conclude that BMP production alone cannot explain bone formation, and other factors either alone or in combination may be responsible for blastic metastases to the skeleton and for bone formation by primary bone lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia.

Osteopontin is upregulated during in vivo demyelination and remyelination and enhances myelin formation in vitro. Mol Cell Neurosci 2004; 25:707-21.

Abstract
We have used in vitro oligodendrocyte differentiation and the in vivo remyelination model, the cuprizone model, to identify genes regulating oligodendrocyte function and remyelination. One of the genes we identified, osteopontin (opn), is a secreted glycoprotein with cytokine-like, chemotactic, and anti-apoptotic properties that contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) cell adhesion motif-mediating interactions with several integrins. Both microglia and astrocytes in demyelinating brain regions of cuprizone-fed mice expressed OPN protein. Recombinant OPN protein produced in a baculovirus expression system induced proliferation of both the rat CG-4 and the mouse Oli-neu oligodendrocyte precursor (OLP)-like cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, recombinant OPN treatment stimulated both myelin basic protein (MBP) synthesis and myelin sheath formation in mixed cortical cultures from embryonic mouse brain, an in vitro primary culture model of myelination. Interestingly, myelinating mixed cultures prepared from OPN(-/-) mice contained significantly less MBP compared to wild-type cultures after 17 days in culture. We propose that in the central nervous system, OPN may act as a novel regulator of myelination and remyelination.
