Abstract
BACKGROUND Hunter-Schreger bands (HSB) are optical phenomena observed on tooth surfaces under polarized light, resulting from the intersection of enamel prisms. Anthropological studies demonstrate the prevalence of HSB in large mammals, contributing to enamel resistance. Historically, John Hunter and Schreger depicted HSB in dental literature. In dentistry, HSB play a role in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) and internal dental perikymata, suggesting their potential for personal identification. Personal identification, crucial in both daily and professional life, involves biometric characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition. The need for non-invasive, rapid, and user-friendly methods has prompted the exploration of using HSB dental images for personal identification. The review aimed to consolidate studies employing HSB for personal identification. METHODS The scoping review was carried out strictly following the PRISMA-ScR checklist; the search was carried out on tree databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct,) and a register (Cochrane library). RESULTS The research produced a number of bibliographic sources totaling 410. With the removal of duplicates, 334 were obtained; potentially eligible articles amounted to 14, of which only 4 fully complied with the criteria of eligibility. CONCLUSIONS From the data in the literature, we can assert that HSB could be used in personal identification, as they are characteristics that are difficult to change and easily detectable.

Abstract
Irisin is a peptide secreted by skeletal muscle that plays a major role in bone metabolism. Experiments in mouse models have shown that administration of recombinant irisin prevents disuse-induced bone loss. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of irisin treatment for the prevention of bone loss in the ovariectomized (Ovx) mouse, the animal model commonly used to investigate osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency. Micro-Ct analysis conducted on Sham mice (Sham-veh) and Ovx mice treated with vehicle (Ovx-veh) or recombinant irisin (Ovx-irisn) showed bone volume fraction (BV/TV) decreases in femurs (Ovx-veh 1.39± 0.71 vs. Sham-veh 2.84 ± 1.23; p = 0.02) and tibia at both proximal condyles (Ovx-veh 1.97 ± 0.68 vs. Sham-veh 3.48 ± 1.26; p = 0.03) and the subchondral plate (Ovx-veh 6.33 ± 0.36 vs. Sham-veh 8.18 ± 0.41; p = 0.01), which were prevented by treatment with a weekly dose of irisin for 4 weeks. Moreover, histological analysis of trabecular bone showed that irisin increased the number of active osteoblasts per bone perimeter (Ovx-irisin 32.3 ± 3.9 vs. Ovx-veh 23.5 ± 3.6; p = 0.01), while decreasing osteoclasts (Ovx-irisin 7.6 ± 2.4 vs. Ovx-veh 12.9 ± 3.04; p = 0.05). The possible mechanism by which irisin enhances osteoblast activity in Ovx mice is upregulation of the transcription factor Atf4, one of the key markers of osteoblast differentiation, and osteoprotegerin, thereby inhibiting osteoclast formation.

Abstract
As a result of physical exercise, muscle releases multiple exerkines, such as "irisin", which is thought to induce pro-cognitive and antidepressant effects. We recently demonstrated in young healthy mice the mitigation of depressive behaviors induced by consecutive 5 day irisin administration. To understand which molecular mechanisms might be involved in such effect, we here studied, in a group of mice previously submitted to a behavioral test of depression, the gene expression of neurotrophins and cytokines in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC), two brain areas frequently investigated in the depression pathogenesis. We found significantly increased mRNA levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) in the hippocampus and brain-derived growth factor (BDNF) in the PFC. We did not detect a difference in the mRNA levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-1β in both brain regions. Except for BDNF in the PFC, two-way ANOVA analysis did not reveal sex differences in the expression of the tested genes. Overall, our data evidenced a site-specific cerebral modulation of neurotrophins induced by irisin treatment in the hippocampus and the PFC, contributing to the search for new antidepressant treatments targeted at single depressive events with short-term protocols.

Abstract
Major depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders worldwide, usually associated with anxiety. The multi-etiological nature of depression has increased the search for new antidepressant molecules, including irisin, for which, in a previous study, we tested its effect in young mice when administered intraperitoneally in a long-term intermittent manner. Here, we evaluated the effect of subcutaneous short-term irisin administration (100 µg/Kg/day/5 days) in male and female mice subjected to behavioral paradigms: Tail Suspension Test (TST), Forced Swim Test (FST), Elevated Plus Maze (EPM), and Y Maze (YM). Moreover, a qRT-PCR assay was performed to analyze the impact of irisin treatment on Pgc-1α/FNDC5 expression in the brain. A significant reduction in immobility time in TST and FST was observed in irisin-treated mice. Furthermore, irisin treatment significantly increased the number of entries and time spent in open arms, demonstrating its anxiolytic effect. Memory-enhancing effects were not reported in YM. Interestingly, no gender differences were observed in all behavioral tests. Overall, these results suggest that short-term subcutaneous irisin administration can exert an antidepressant and anxiolytic role, probably due to the activation of the Pgc-1α/FNDC5 system in the brain. Further investigation could lead to the identification of irisin as a new agent for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
The identification of biomarkers and countermeasures to prevent the adverse effects on the musculoskeletal system caused by the absence of mechanical loading is the main goal of space biomedical research studies. In this study, we analyzed over 4 weeks of unloading, the modulation in the expression of key proteins in Vastus lateralis, Gastrocnemius and cortical bone in parallel with the modulation of irisin serum levels and its precursor FNDC5 in skeletal muscle of hind limb unloaded (HU) mice. Here we report that Atrogin-1 was up-regulated as early as 1- and 2-week of unloading, whereas Murf-1 at 2- and 3-weeks, along with a marked modulation in the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms during unloading. Since HU mice showed reduced irisin serum levels at 4-weeks, as well as FNDC5 decrease at 3- and 4-weeks, we treated HU mice with recombinant irisin for 4 weeks, showing that unloading-dependent decline of myosin heavy chain isoforms, MyHCIIα and MyHCIIx, and the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl2, were prevented. In parallel, irisin treatment inhibited the increase of the senescence marker p53, and the pro-apoptotic factor Bax. Overall, these results suggest that the myokine irisin could be a possible therapy to counteract the musculoskeletal impairment caused by unloading.

Abstract
Bone fractures are a widespread clinical event due to accidental falls and trauma or bone fragility; they also occur in association with various diseases and are common with aging. In the search for new therapeutic strategies, a crucial link between irisin and bone fractures has recently emerged. To explore this issue, we subjected 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice to tibial fracture, and then we treated them with intra-peritoneal injection of r-Irisin (100 µg/kg/weekly) or vehicle as control. At day 10 post fracture, histological analysis showed a significant reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) (p = 0.004) and macrophage inflammatory protein-alpha (MIP-1α) (p = 0.015) in the cartilaginous callus of irisin-treated mice compared to controls, supporting irisin's anti-inflammatory role. We also found increased expressions of the pro-angiogenic molecule vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (p = 0.002) and the metalloproteinase MMP-13 (p = 0.0006) in the irisin-treated mice compared to the vehicle ones, suggesting a myokine involvement in angiogenesis and cartilage matrix degradation processes. Moreover, the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP2) expression was also upregulated (p = 0.002). Taken together, our findings suggest that irisin can contribute to fracture repair by reducing inflammation and promoting vessel invasion, matrix degradation, and bone formation, supporting its possible role as a novel molecule for fracture treatment.

Abstract
The bed rest (BR) is a ground-based model to simulate microgravity mimicking skeletal-muscle alterations as in spaceflight. Molecular coupling between bone and muscle might be involved in physiological and pathological conditions. Thus, the new myokine irisin and bone-muscle turnover markers have been studied during and after 10 days of BR. Ten young male individuals were subjected to 10 days of horizontal BR. Serum concentrations of irisin, myostatin, sclerostin, and haptoglobin were assessed, and muscle tissue gene expression on vastus lateralis biopsies was determined. During 10-days BR, we observed no significant fluctuation levels of irisin, myostatin, and sclerostin. Two days after BR (R+2), irisin serum levels significantly decreased while myostatin, sclerostin, and haptoglobin were significantly increased compared with BR0. Gene expression of myokines, inflammatory molecules, transcription factors, and markers of muscle atrophy and senescence on muscle biopsies were not altered, suggesting that muscle metabolism of young, healthy subjects is able to adapt to the hypomobility condition during 10-day BR. However, when subjects were divided according to irisin serum levels at BR9, muscle ring finger-1 mRNA expression was significantly lower in subjects with higher irisin serum levels, suggesting that this myokine may prevent the triggering of muscle atrophy. Moreover, the negative correlation between p21 mRNA and irisin at BR9 indicated a possible inhibitory effect of the myokine on the senescence marker. In conclusion, irisin could be a prognostic marker of hypomobility-induced muscle atrophy, and its serum levels could protect against muscle deterioration by preventing and/or delaying the expression of atrophy and senescence cellular markers.

Abstract
Depression is a psychiatric disorder increasingly diffused worldwide. Evidence suggests that irisin, a myokine secreted by contracting muscle, mediates beneficial effects on several targets, including the brain. Here, the potential antidepressant properties of long-term intermittent systemic irisin administration (100 µg/kg/weekly for 1 month) were evaluated in mice by the Tail Suspension Test (TST), Forced Swim Test (FST), and Open Field Test (OFT). Furthermore, to deepen the molecular pathways underlying irisin treatment, the expression of irisin precursor, neurotrophic/growth factors, and cytokines was analyzed. Irisin treatment significantly decreased the immobility time in the TST and FST, suggesting an antidepressant effect. Additionally, irisin seemed to display an anxiolytic-like effect increasing the time spent in the OFT arena center. These findings were probably due to the modulation of endogenous brain factors as the gene expression of some neurotrophins, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), was upregulated only in irisin-treated mouse brain. Moreover, irisin modulated the expression of some cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that the irisin antidepressant effect may be observed even with a systemic administration in mice. This could pave the way toward intriguing preclinical research in humans.

Abstract
To date, pharmacological strategies designed to accelerate bone fracture healing are lacking. We subjected 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice to closed, transverse, mid-diaphyseal tibial fractures and treated them with intraperitoneal injection of a vehicle or r-irisin (100 µg/kg/weekly) immediately following fracture for 10 days or 28 days. Histological analysis of the cartilaginous callus at 10 days showed a threefold increase in Collagen Type X (p = 0.0012) and a reduced content of proteoglycans (40%; p = 0.0018). Osteoclast count within the callus showed a 2.4-fold increase compared with untreated mice (p = 0.026), indicating a more advanced stage of endochondral ossification of the callus during the early stage of fracture repair. Further evidence that irisin induced the transition of cartilage callus into bony callus was provided by a twofold reduction in the expression of SOX9 (p = 0.0058) and a 2.2-fold increase in RUNX2 (p = 0.0137). Twenty-eight days post-fracture, microCT analyses showed that total callus volume and bone volume were increased by 68% (p = 0.0003) and 67% (p = 0.0093), respectively, and bone mineral content was 74% higher (p = 0.0012) in irisin-treated mice than in controls. Our findings suggest that irisin promotes bone formation in the bony callus and accelerates the fracture repair process, suggesting a possible use as a novel pharmacologic modulator of fracture healing.

Abstract
Irisin is a myokine produced by skeletal muscle during exercise in both mice and humans. We previously showed that irisin treatment ameliorates immobility-induced osteoporosis and muscular atrophy in mice. Data in humans showed a positive association between irisin and bone mineral density (BMD) in athletes and a population of healthy children. However, the role of this myokine regarding the state of muscle and bone in the same population remained to be determined. For this purpose, 62 patients (age 68.71 ± 12.31 years) undergoing total hip or knee replacement were recruited. Our results showed that irisin serum levels negatively correlated with age (R = -0.515; p = .000018) and positively correlated with femoral BMD (R = 0.619; p = .001) and vertebral BMD (R = 0.201; p = .0001). Irisin was also positively associated with Fndc5 mRNA in muscle biopsies (R = 0.248; p = .016), as well as with Osteocalcin (Ocn) mRNA in bone biopsies (R = 0.708; p = .006). In skeletal muscle, FNDC5 positive fibers positively correlate with BMD of total femur (R = 0.765; p = .0014) and BMD of femoral neck (R = 0.575; p = .031), Interestingly, by analyzing patients divided by their T-score, we found lower irisin levels (p = .0011) in patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis (OP) compared to healthy controls matched for age and sex. By analyzing the senescence marker p21, we found a significant increase of its mRNA expression in the bone biopsies of OP patients compared to control ones. Therefore, we investigated in vitro whether rec-irisin had a direct effect on this senescence marker, showing that p21 mRNA expression was significantly downregulated in osteoblasts by the treatment with irisin. Overall, these results indicate that higher irisin levels are associated with a lower rate of age-related osteoporosis and that irisin could be effective in delaying the osteoblast aging process, suggesting a potential senolytic action of this myokine. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review we aim to summarize the latest findings on the network of molecules produced by muscle and bone under physiological and pathological conditions. RECENT FINDINGS The concomitant onset of osteoporosis and sarcopenia is currently one of the main threats that can increase the risk of falling fractures during aging, generating high health care costs due to hospitalization for bone fracture surgery. With the growing emergence of developing innovative therapies to treat these two age-related conditions that often have common onset, a broader understanding of molecular messengers regulating the communication between muscle and bone tissue became imperative. Recently it has been highlighted that two muscle-derived signals, such as the myokines Irisin and L-BAIBA, positively affect bone tissue. In parallel, there are signals derived from bone that affect either positively the skeletal muscle, such as osteocalcin, or negatively, such as RANKL.

Abstract
Previous results showed that intermittently administered irisin improves bone mass in normal mice and prevents the development of disuse-induced osteoporosis and muscular atrophy in hindlimb-suspended mice, a murine model able to mimic the absence of mechanical loading. A recent study showed that irisin increases survival of osteocytes acting through integrin αV/β5 receptors. To better understand the action of irisin on these cells, we investigated the downstream signaling cascades in osteocyte-like cells (MLO-Y4) treated with recombinant irisin (rec-irisin) in vitro and we analyzed survival of osteocytes and caspase activation in cortical bone of osteoporotic mice treated with rec-irisin in vivo. Our results revealed that rec-irisin activated the MAP kinases Erk1 and Erk2 and increased the expression of the transcription factor Atf4 (2.5-fold, p < .05) through an Erk-dependent pathway in osteocytes. Some key genes expressed by MLO-Y4 cells were modulated by long-term irisin treatment, either continuously administered or given with intermittent short pulses. Interestingly, Sost mRNA was severely downregulated only upon intermittent irisin administration (10-fold, p < .001). Furthermore, rec-irisin upregulated Tfam mRNA (fourfold, p < .05) and Bcl2/Bax ratio (twofold, p < .05) in MLO-Y4 cells. By detecting caspase-9 and caspase-3, we also found that rec-irisin inhibited apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide and dexamethasone, respectively. In cortical bone of unloading C57BL6 mice treated with vehicle (unload-veh), irisin prevented disuse-induced reduction of viable osteocytes (+30% versus unload-veh, p < .05) and increase of empty lacunae (+110% versus unload-veh, p < .05), as well as caspase-9 (threefold, p < .05) and caspase-3 (twofold, p < .05) activations. Our findings revealed underlying mechanisms of irisin action on osteocytes, which increases their functions and exerts anti-apoptotic effects, confirming that mechanosensor cells of bone are sensitive to the exercise-mimetic myokine irisin. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14), LIGHT, is a component of the cytokine network that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses, which promote homeostasis of lymphoid organs, liver, and bone. Metastatic tumors often disrupt the tissue microenvironment, thus altering the homeostasis of the invaded organ; however, the underlying mechanisms required further studies. We investigated the role of LIGHT in osteolytic bone disease induced by metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients diagnosed with NSCLC bone metastasis show significantly higher levels of LIGHT expressed in monocytes compared with non-bone metastatic tumors and healthy controls. Serum LIGHT levels were also higher in patients with bone metastases than in controls, suggesting a role for LIGHT in stimulating osteoclast precursors. In bone metastatic patients, we also detected increased RNA expression and serum RANKL levels, thus by adding anti-LIGHT or RANK-fragment crystallizable region (RANK-Fc) in PBMC cultures, a significant inhibition of osteoclastogenesis was observed. To model this observation in mice, we used the mouse lung cancer cell line LLC-1. After intratibial implantation, wild-type mice showed an increased number of osteoclasts but reduced numbers of osteoblasts and decreased osteoid formation. In contrast, Tnfsf14-/- mice showed no significant bone loss or other changes in bone homeostasis associated with this model. These data indicate LIGHT is a key control mechanism for regulating bone homeostasis during metastatic invasion. Thus, LIGHT may be a novel therapeutic target in osteolytic bone metastases. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

It ameliorates bone status and muscle atrophy and influences energy homeostasis. PTH exerts several metabolic effects that may interact with the effects of irisin. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that irisin and PTH mutually affect their biological action, we evaluated FNDC5 mRNA and protein expression in myotubes treated with PTH (1-34) and parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH-r) mRNA expression in osteoblasts treated with r-irisin. To confirm the in vivo impact of PTH on irisin, we compared irisin serum concentrations in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and control subjects. DESIGN AND INTERVENTION C2C12 myotubes were treated with short-term and continuous 10-10 M teriparatide and MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts with 100 ng/mL r-irisin for 8 hours. In a cross-sectional open-label trial, we enrolled 26 postmenopausal women with PHPT and 31 age-/body mass index (BMI)‒matched control subjects without impairment of calcium/phosphate metabolism. RESULTS Teriparatide treatment on myotubes significantly downregulated FNDC5 expression by acting through its own receptor, which in turn activated Erk11/2 phosphorylation. r-Irisin led to a 50% downregulation of PTH-r mRNA expression compared with untreated cells (P < 0.001). Irisin was significantly lower in the PHPT group than in age-/BMI-matched controls (4.5 ± 1.1 vs 12 ± 5.2 µg/mL; P < 0.001). No significant correlation between irisin and bone mineral density or PTH was recorded in the PHPT group. CONCLUSION Preclinical findings suggest the existence of an interplay between PTH and irisin metabolism that seems to be confirmed by the significant reduction of irisin concentration in postmenopausal women with PHPT.

Abstract
Background: Irisin is a myokine able to ameliorate bone status, muscle atrophy and it influences also glucose and energy homeostasis. PTH is hormone able to exert several metabolic effects that may interact with irisin’s ones. No studies have investigated the biological relation between Irisin and PTH. Aim:To test the hypothesis that irisin and PTH mutually affect their biological action, we evaluated the FNDC5 mRNA expression in myotubes treated with PTH (1-34) and PTH-R mRNA expression in osteoblast treated with recombinant irisin. To confirm the in vivoimpact of PTH on irisin, we evaluated irisin serum concentration in post-menopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) compared to age, sex and BMI matched control subjects with no impairment of calcium/phosphate metabolism. Methods: C2C12 myotubes were treated with 100nM of teriparatide for 3 and 8 hours or with 100nM of teriparatide for 6 days, refreshing medium every 48h. MC3T3-E1 osteoblastswere treated with 100 ng/ml r-Irisin for 8 hours. Teriparatide-treated myotubes, Irisin-treated osteoblasts and untreated controls were subjected to RNA extraction and qPCR analysis. In a cross-sectional, open-label trial, we enrolled 26 PHPT post-menopausal women and 31 age/BMI matched control subjects with no impairment of calcium/phosphate metabolism. Results:Both short (p=0.036) and continuous (p=0.006) teriparatide treatment on myotubes significantly decreased FNDC5 mRNA expression respect to untreated control. r-Irisinled to a 50% down regulation of PTH-R mRNA expression compared to untreated cell (p=0.029).Irisin was significantly lower in PHPT group compared to age/BMI-matched controls (4.5±1.1 vs 12±5.2 µg/mL, p<0.001). No significant correlation between Irisin and BMD or PTH was recorded in PHPT group. Conclusion: for the first time, our pre-clinical findings suggest the existence of interplay between PTH and irisin metabolism that seems to be confirmed by the significant reduction of irisin concentration in post-menopausal women with PHPT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irisin is a myokine secreted by skeletal muscle during physical activity. Irisin treatment increased cortical bone mineral density (BMD) in young healthy mice and restored bone and muscle mass loss in a mouse model of disuse-induced osteoporosis and muscular atrophy. In humans, Irisin was positively correlated with BMD in young athletes. Considering that the bone mass reached during childhood is one of the most important determinants of lifelong skeletal health, we sought to determine if Irisin levels were correlated with bone mineral status in children. METHODS Irisin and bone metabolic markers were quantified in sera and bone mineral status was evaluated by quantitative ultrasound in a population of 34 healthy children (9.82 ± 3.2 years). RESULTS We found that Irisin levels were positively correlated with the amplitude-dependent speed of sound Z-score (r = 0.305; p < 0.001), bone transmission time Z-score (r = 0.375; p < 0.001) and osteocalcin (r = 0.370; p < 0.001), and negatively with Dickkopf WNT Signaling Pathway Inhibitor 1 (r = -0.274; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In a regression analysis model, Irisin was one of the determinants of bone mineral status to a greater extent than bone alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone, indicating that Irisin might be considered as one of the bone formation markers during childhood.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC1α) is a transcription coactivator that interacts with a broad range of transcription factors involved in several biological responses. Here, we show that PGC1α plays a role in skeletal homeostasis since aged PGC1α-deficient mice (PGC1α-/-) display impaired bone structure. Micro-CT of the tibial mid-shaft showed a marked decrease of cortical thickness in PGC1α-/- (- 11.9%, p < 0.05) mice compared to wild-type littermate. Trabecular bone was also impaired in knock out mice which displayed lower trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (- 5.9% vs PGC1α+/+, p < 0.05), whereas trabecular number (Tb.N) was higher than wild-type mice (+ 72% vs PGC1α+/+, p < 0.05), thus resulting in increased (+ 31.7% vs PGC1α+/+, p < 0.05) degree of anisotropy (DA), despite unchanged bone volume fraction (BV/TV). Notably, these impairments of cortical and trabecular bone led to a dramatic ~ 48.4% decrease in bending strength (p < 0.01). These changes in PGC1α-/- mice were paralleled by a significant increase in osteoclast number at the cortical bone surface and in serum level of the bone resorption marker, namely, C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX-I). We also found that in cortical bone, there was lower expression of mRNA codifying for the key bone-building protein Osteocalcin (Ocn). Interestingly, Collagen I mRNA expression was reduced in mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow of PGC1α-/-, thus indicating that differentiation of osteoblast lineage is downregulated. Overall, results presented herein suggest that PGC1α may play a key role in bone metabolism.

Abstract
We have previously shown that through the production of high LIGHT levels, immune cells contribute to both osteoclastogenesis and bone destruction in Multiple Myeloma (MM)-related bone disease. With the aim of further exploring the mechanisms underlying the development of MM-related bone disease, here we focused on a possible role of LIGHT in MM patients with active bone disease despite the treatment received. We detected LIGHT over-expression by circulating CD14+ monocytes from MM patients still showing active bone disease, despite the treatment. In addition, we found over-expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), whose pro-osteoclastogenic role is well-known, in T-lymphocytes isolated from the same patients. Although the percentages of circulating osteoclast progenitors, CD14+CD16+ monocytes, were higher in all the MM patients than in the controls spontaneous osteoclastogenesis occurred only in the cultures derived from PBMCs of MM patients with unresponsive bone disease. Of note, in the same cultures osteoclastogenesis was partially or completely inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, by the addition of RANK-Fc or anti-LIGHT neutralizing antibody, demonstrating the contribution of both LIGHT and RANKL to the enhanced osteoclast formation observed. In addition, high serum levels of TRAP5b and CTX, the two markers of osteoclast activity, were detected in MM patients with bone disease not responsive to treatment. In conclusion, our study indicates a prominent role of LIGHT in the crosstalk among osteoclasts and immune cells, co-involved together with RANKL in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to MM-related bone disease. This TNF superfamily member may thus be a possible new therapeutic target in MM-related bone disease.

Abstract
AIM Irisin is a new peptide produced mainly by the skeletal muscle playing an important role both in glucose/energy homeostasis and bone metabolism. Childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with decreased bone mass. We aimed to evaluate irisin levels in TD1M children and their correlation with bone metabolism and glycaemic control. METHODS Ninety-six T1DM subjects (12.2 ± 4 years), 56 on multiple daily injections (MDI), 40 on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), and 34 controls were included in the study. Irisin and bone remodeling markers were quantified in sera from patients and controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated by QUS. RESULTS Increased irisin levels were found in T1DM patients respect to controls (p < 0.001). With adjustment for age, irisin levels significantly correlated negatively with HbA1c% (r = -0.105, p < 0.001), years of diabetes (r = -0.07, p < 0.04), 25(OH)-Vitamin D (r = -0.175, p < 0.0001), and positively with BTT-Z-score (r = 0.088, p = 0.016), and osteocalcin (r = 0.059, p < 0.04). We detected the highest levels of irisin in CSII patients compared to MDI and controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.007 respectively). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated high irisin levels in T1DM children and the association of highest irisin amounts to a better glycaemic control and bone health in TDM1 subjects on CSII.

Abstract
Irisin, a novel myokine produced in response to physical exercise by skeletal muscle, displays anabolic effect on bone and can improve the bone-loss-induced osteoporosis in hind limb suspended mice. It is well known that muscles positively impact the skeleton and in different sports, including soccer, total body bone mineral density (TB-BMD) is elevated. Therefore, we have investigated the correlation between irisin serum levels and total and bone sub-regional BMD in soccer players never studied before. In this study, Caucasian football players of Bari team have been enrolled. Their sera were collected to measure by ELISA kit irisin levels and by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) analysis measurements of BMD (g • cm−2) in the whole body and different bone sub-regions (head, arms, legs, ribs, dorsal vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, pelvis) were performed. The BMC (g) was measured in the whole body. By means of Pearson’s (R) and Cohen’s (d) coefficient we investigated the linear association between the irisin serum levels and BMD. In soccer players, we have found a positive correlation between irisin and TB-BMD as demonstrated by the values of Pearson and Cohen’s (d) coefficient. Furthermore, linear association was detected between irisin and BMD of different bone-site such as right arm, lumbar vertebrae and head. A positive trend was also observed analyzing circulating levels of irisin and bone mineral content as well as total Z-score. In conclusion, we have demonstrated the correlation between irisin and total or bone sub-regional BMD in soccer players for the first time, an additional systemic effect of the “sport-hormone” defined myokine.
