Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous spectrum of hereditary genetic disorders that cause bone fragility, through various quantitative and qualitative defects of type 1 collagen, a triple helix composed of two α1 and one α2 chains encoded by COL1A1 and COL1A2, respectively. The main extra-skeletal manifestations of OI include blue sclerae, opalescent teeth, and hearing impairment. Moreover, multiple genes involved in osteoblast maturation and type 1 collagen biosynthesis are now known to cause recessive forms of OI. In this study a multiplex consanguineous family of two affected males with OI was recruited for genetic screening. To determine the causative, pathogenic variant(s), genomic DNA from two affected family members were analyzed using whole exome sequencing, autozygosity mapping, and then validated with Sanger sequencing. The analysis led to the mapping of a homozygous variant previously reported in SP7/OSX, a gene encoding for Osterix, a transcription factor that activates a repertoire of genes involved in osteoblast and osteocyte differentiation and function. The identified variant (c.946C > T; p.Arg316Cys) in exon 2 of SP7/OSX results in a pathogenic amino acid change in two affected male siblings and develops OI, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and craniofacial anomaly. On the basis of the findings of the present study, SP7/OSX:c. 946C > T is a rare homozygous variant causing OI with extra-skeletal features in inbred Arab populations.

Abstract
Treating bone infections and ensuring bone repair is one of the greatest global challenges of modern orthopedics, made complex by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) risks due to long-term antibiotic treatment and debilitating large bone defects following infected tissue removal. An ideal multi-faceted solution would will eradicate bacterial infection without long-term antibiotic use, simultaneously stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Here, a multifunctional collagen-based scaffold that addresses these needs by leveraging the potential of antibiotic-free antimicrobial nanoparticles (copper-doped bioactive glass, CuBG) to combat infection without contributing to AMR in conjunction with microRNA-based gene therapy (utilizing an inhibitor of microRNA-138) to stimulate both osteogenesis and angiogenesis, is developed. CuBG scaffolds reduce the attachment of gram-positive bacteria by over 80%, showcasing antimicrobial functionality. The antagomiR-138 nanoparticles induce osteogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and heal a large load-bearing defect in a rat femur when delivered on the scaffold. Combining both promising technologies results in a multifunctional antagomiR-138-activated CuBG scaffold inducing hMSC-mediated osteogenesis and stimulating vasculogenesis in an in vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane model. Overall, this multifunctional scaffold catalyzes killing mechanisms in bacteria while inducing bone repair through osteogenic and angiogenic coupling, making this platform a promising multi-functional strategy for treating and repairing complex bone infections.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor α (ESR1) is involved in E2 signaling and plays a major role in postmenopausal bone loss. However, the molecular network underlying ESR1 has not been explored. We used systems genetics and bioinformatics to identify important genes associated with Esr1 in postmenopausal bone loss. We identified ~2300 Esr1-coexpressed genes in female BXD bone femur, functional analysis of which revealed 'osteoblast signaling' as the most enriched pathway. PPI network led to the identification of 25 'female bone candidates'. The gene-regulatory analysis revealed RUNX2 as a key TF. ANKRD1 and RUNX2 were significantly different between osteoporosis patients and healthy controls. Sp7, Col1a1 and Pth1r correlated with multiple femur bone phenotypes in BXD mice. miR-3121-3p targeted Csf1, Ankrd1, Sp7 and Runx2. β-estradiol treatment markedly increased the expression of these candidates in mouse osteoblast. Our study revealed that Esr1-correlated genes Ankrd1, Runx2, Csf1 and Sp7 may play important roles in female bone development.

Abstract
As epigenetic regulators of gene expression, circulating micro-RiboNucleic Acids (miRNAs) have been described in several bone diseases as potential prognostic markers. The aim of our study was to identify circulating miRNAs potentially associated with the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in three steps. We have screened by RNA sequencing for the miRNAs that were differentially expressed in sera of a small group of OI patients versus controls and then conducted a validation phase by RT-qPCR analysis of sera of a larger patient population. In the first phase of miROI, we found 79 miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed. We therefore selected 19 of them as the most relevant. In the second phase, we were able to validate the significant overexpression of 8 miRNAs in the larger OI group. Finally, we looked for a relationship between the level of variation of the validated miRNAs and the clinical characteristics of OI. We found a significant difference in the expression of two microRNAs in those patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta. After reviewing the literature, we found 6 of the 8 miRNAs already known to have a direct action on bone homeostasis. Furthermore, the use of a miRNA-gene interaction prediction model revealed a 100% probability of interaction between 2 of the 8 confirmed miRNAs and COL1A1 and/or COL1A2. This is the first study to establish the miRNA signature in OI, showing a significant modification of miRNA expression potentially involved in the regulation of genes involved in the physiopathology of OI. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Following facial prominence fusion, anterior-posterior (A-P) elongation of the palate is a critical aspect of palatogenesis and integrated midfacial elongation. Reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions drive secondary palate elongation and periodic signaling center formation within the rugae growth zone (RGZ). However, the relationship between RGZ dynamics and the morphogenetic behavior of underlying palatal bone mesenchymal precursors has remained enigmatic. Our results indicate that cellular activity at the RGZ simultaneously drives rugae formation and elongation of the maxillary bone primordium within the anterior secondary palate, which more than doubles in length prior to palatal shelf fusion. The first formed palatal ruga, found just posterior to the RGZ, represents a consistent morphological boundary between anterior and posterior secondary palate bone precursors, being found at the future maxillary-palatine suture. These results suggest a model where changes in RGZ-driven A-P growth of the anterior secondary palate may produce interspecies and intraspecies differences in facial prognathism and differences in the proportional contribution of palatal segment-associated bones to total palate length. An ontogenetic comparison of three inbred mouse strains indicated that while RGZ-driven growth of the anterior secondary palate is critical for early midfacial outgrowth, subtle strain-specific bony contributions to adult palate length are not present until after this initial palatal growth period. This multifaceted illustration of normal midfacial growth dynamics confirms a one-to-one relationship between palatal segments and upper jaw bones during the earliest stages of palatal growth, which may serve as the basis for evolutionary change in upper jaw morphology. Additionally, identified mouse strain-specific differences in palatal segment elongation provide a useful foundation for understanding the impact of background genetic effects on facial morphogenesis.

Abstract
Avermectin, a widely used insecticide, is primarily effective against animal parasites and insects. Given its extensive application in agriculture, a large amount of avermectin accumulates in natural water bodies. Studies have shown that avermectin has significant toxic effects on various organisms and on the nervous system, spine, and several other organs in humans. However, the effects of avermectin on bone development have not been reported yet. In this study, zebrafish embryos were treated with different concentrations of avermectin to explore the effects of avermectin on early bone development. The results showed that avermectin disturbed early bone development in zebrafish, caused abnormal craniofacial chondrogenesis, and reduced bone mineralization. Avermectin treatment significantly reduced mineralization in zebrafish scales and increased osteoclast activity. Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that avermectin decreased the expression of genes related to osteogenesis and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways. The TGF-β inhibitor SB431542 rescued avermectin-induced bone mineralization and osteogenesis related gene expression in zebrafish during early development. Thus, this study provides insight into the mechanism of damage caused by avermectin on bone development, thus helping demonstrate its toxicity.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetically heterogeneous monogenic disease characterized by decreased bone mass, bone fragility, and recurrent fractures. The phenotypic spectrum varies considerably ranging from prenatal fractures with lethal outcomes to mild forms with few fractures and normal stature. The basic mechanism is a collagen-related defect, not only in synthesis but also in folding, processing, bone mineralization, or osteoblast function. In recent years, great progress has been made in identifying new genes and molecular mechanisms underlying OI. In this context, the classification of OI has been revised several times and different types are used. The Sillence classification, based on clinical and radiological characteristics, is currently used as a grading of clinical severity. Based on the metabolic pathway, the functional classification allows identifying regulatory elements and targeting specific therapeutic approaches. Genetic classification has the advantage of identifying the inheritance pattern, an essential element for genetic counseling and prophylaxis. Although genotype-phenotype correlations may sometimes be challenging, genetic diagnosis allows a personalized management strategy, accurate family planning, and pregnancy management decisions including options for mode of delivery, or early antenatal OI treatment. Future research on molecular pathways and pathogenic variants involved could lead to the development of genotype-based therapeutic approaches. This narrative review summarizes our current understanding of genes, molecular mechanisms involved in OI, classifications, and their utility in prophylaxis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the different roles of the transcription factor SP7 in regulating bone formation and remodeling, discuss current studies in investigating the causal relationship between SP7 mutations and human skeletal disease, and highlight potential therapeutic treatments that targeting SP7 and the gene networks that it controls. RECENT FINDINGS Cell-type and stage-specific functions of SP7 have been identified during bone formation and remodeling. Normal bone development regulated by SP7 is strongly associated with human bone health. Dysfunction of SP7 results in common or rare skeletal diseases, including osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta with different inheritance patterns. SP7-associated signaling pathways, SP7-dependent target genes, and epigenetic regulations of SP7 serve as new therapeutic targets in the treatment of skeletal disorders. This review addresses the importance of SP7-regulated bone development in studying bone health and skeletal disease. Recent advances in whole genome and exome sequencing, GWAS, multi-omics, and CRISPR-mediated activation and inhibition have provided the approaches to investigate the gene-regulatory networks controlled by SP7 in bone and the therapeutic targets to treat skeletal disease.

Abstract
Nanoplastics (NPs) and acetaminophen (APAP) are thought to be common contaminants and are invariably detected in the environment. Despite the increasing awareness of their toxicity to humans and animals, the embryonic toxicity, skeletal development toxicity, and mechanism of action of their combined exposure have not been clarified. This study was performed to investigate whether combined exposure to NPs and APAP induces abnormal embryonic and skeletal development in zebrafish and to explore the potential toxicological mechanisms. All zebrafish juveniles in the high-concentration compound exposure group showed some abnormal phenomena such as pericardial edema, spinal curvature, cartilage developmental abnormality and melanin inhibition together with a significant downward trend in body length. Behavioral data also implicated that the exposure of APAP alone, as well as the co-exposure of NPs and APAP, caused a depression in the total distance, swimming speed and the maximum acceleration. Furthermore, real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that compared with exposure alone, the expression level of genes related to osteogenesis, runx2a, runx2b, Sp7, bmp2b and shh was significantly reduced with compound exposure. These results suggest that the compound exposure of NPs and APAP has adverse impacts on zebrafish embryonic development and skeletal growth.

Abstract
Manufacturing three-dimensional (3D) objects with polymers/bioceramic composite materials has been investigated in recent years. In this study, we manufactured and evaluated solvent-free polycaprolactone (PCL) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composite fiber as a scaffold material for 3D printing. To investigate the optimal ratio of feedstock material for 3D printing, the physical and biological characteristics of four different ratios of β-TCP compounds mixed with PCL were investigated. PCL/β-TCP ratios of 0 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 20 wt.%, and 30 wt.% were fabricated, with PCL melted at 65 °C and blended with β-TCP with no solvent added during the fabrication process. Electron microscopy revealed an even distribution of β-TCP in the PCL fibers, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the biomaterial compounds remained intact after the heating and manufacturing process. In addition, adding 20% β-TCP into the PCL/β-TCP mixture significantly increased hardness and Young’s Modulus by 10% and 26.5%, respectively, suggesting that PCL-20 has better resistance to deformation under load. Cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, osteogenic gene expression, and mineralization were also observed to increase according to the amount of β-TCP added. Cell viability and ALPase activity were 20% higher with PCL-30, while upregulation for osteoblast-related gene expression was better with PCL-20. In conclusion, PCL-20 and PCL-30 fibers fabricated without solvent exhibited excellent mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, and high osteogenic ability, making them promising materials for 3D printing customized bone scaffolds promptly, sustainably, and cost-effectively.

Abstract
The dairy goat is one of the earliest dairy livestock species, which plays an important role in the economic development, especially for developing countries. With the development of agricultural civilization, dairy goats have been widely distributed across the world. However, few studies have been conducted on the specific characteristics of dairy goat. In this study, we collected the whole-genome data of 89 goat individuals by sequencing 48 goats and employing 41 publicly available goats, including five dairy goat breeds (Saanen, Nubian, Alpine, Toggenburg, and Guanzhong dairy goat; n = 24, 15, 11, 6, 6), and three goat breeds (Guishan goat, Longlin goat, Yunshang Black goat; n = 6, 15, 6). Through compared the genomes of dairy goat and non-dairy goat to analyze genetic diversity and selection characteristics of dairy goat. The results show that the eight goats could be divided into three subgroups of European, African, and Chinese indigenous goat populations, and we also found that Australian Nubian, Toggenburg, and Australian Alpine had the highest linkage disequilibrium, the lowest level of nucleotide diversity, and a higher inbreeding coefficient, indicating that they were strongly artificially selected. In addition, we identified several candidate genes related to the specificity of dairy goat, particularly genes associated with milk production traits (GHR, DGAT2, ELF5, GLYCAM1, ACSBG2, ACSS2), reproduction traits (TSHR, TSHB, PTGS2, ESR2), immunity traits (JAK1, POU2F2, LRRC66). Our results provide not only insights into the evolutionary history and breed characteristics of dairy goat, but also valuable information for the implementation and improvement of dairy goat cross breeding program.

Abstract
The discovery of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) inspired hope for the successful treatment of bone disorders, but side effects worsening the clinical effects were eventually observed. BMPs exert a synergistic effect, stimulating osteogenesis; however, predicting the best composition of growth factors for use in humans is difficult. Chondrocytes present within the growth plate produce growth factors stored in calcified cartilage adhering to metaphysis. These factors stimulate initial bone formation in metaphysis. We have previously determined the growth factors present in bovine calcified cartilage and produced by rat epiphyseal chondrocytes. The results suggest that growth factors stimulating physiological ossification are species dependent. The collection of human calcified cartilage for growth factors determination does not appear feasible, but chondrocytes for mRNA determination could be obtained. Their collection from young recipients, in view of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Recommendation, would be ethical. The authors of this review do not have facilities to conduct such a study and can only appeal to competent institutions to undertake the task. The results could help to formulate a better recipe for the stimulation of bone formation and improve clinical results.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic degenerative bone disease characterized by low bone mass and damage to bone microarchitecture, which increases bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. The risk of osteoporosis increases with age; with the aging of the global population, osteoporosis is becoming more prevalent, adding to the societal healthcare burden. Histone modifications such as methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and ADP-ribosylation are closely related to the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. This article reviews recent studies on the role of histone modifications in osteoporosis. The existing evidence indicates that therapeutic targeting of these modifications to promote osteogenic differentiation and bone formation may be an effective treatment for this disease.
