Abstract
Bone remodeling is a process that involves osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, and different intracellular signaling, such as the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Dysregulations of this pathway may also occur during secondary osteoporosis, as in the case of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO), which accelerates osteoblast and osteocyte apoptosis by reducing bone formation, osteoblast differentiation and function, accelerates in turn osteoblast, and osteocyte apoptosis. Genistein is a soy-derived nutrient belonging to the class of isoflavones that reduces bone loss in osteopenic menopausal women, inhibiting bone resorption; however, genistein may also favor bone formation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether estrogen receptor stimulation by genistein might promote osteoblast and osteocyte function during glucocorticoid challenge. Primary osteoblasts, collected from C57BL6/J mice, and MLO-A5 osteocyte cell line were used to reproduce an in vitro model of GIO by adding dexamethasone (1 μM) for 24 h. Cells were then treated with genistein for 24 h and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and western blot were performed to study whether genistein activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Dexamethasone challenge reduced bone formation in primary osteoblasts and bone mineralization in osteocytes; moreover, canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway was reduced following incubation with dexamethasone in both osteoblasts and osteocytes. Genistein reverted these changes and this effect was mediated by both estrogen receptors α and β. These data suggest that genistein could induce bone remodeling through Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation.

Abstract
Deriving stem cells to regenerate full-thickness human skin is important for treating skin disorders without invasive surgical procedures. Our previous protocol to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into skin-derived precursor cells (SKPs) as a source of dermal stem cells employs mouse fibroblasts as feeder cells and is therefore unsuitable for clinical use. Herein, we report a feeder-free method for differentiating iPSCs into SKPs by customising culture substrates. We immunohistochemically screened for laminins expressed in dermal papillae (DP) and explored the conditions for inducing the differentiation of iPSCs into SKPs on recombinant laminin E8 (LM-E8) fragments with or without conjugation to domain I of perlecan (PDI), which binds to growth factors through heparan sulphate chains. Several LM-E8 fragments, including those of LM111, 121, 332, 421, 511, and 521, supported iPSC differentiation into SKPs without PDI conjugation. However, the SKP yield was significantly enhanced on PDI-conjugated LM-E8 fragments. SKPs induced on PDI-conjugated LM111-E8 fragments retained the gene expression patterns characteristic of SKPs, as well as the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes, and Schwann cells. Thus, PDI-conjugated LM-E8 fragments are promising agents for inducing iPSC differentiation into SKPs in clinical settings.

Abstract
The discovery that osteocytes secrete phosphaturic fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has defined bone as an endocrine organ. However, the autocrine and paracrine functions of FGF23 are still unknown. The present study focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the complex control of FGF23 production and local bone remodeling functions. FGF23 was assayed using ELISA kit in the presence or absence of 17β–estradiol in starved MLO-Y4 osteocytes. In these cells, a relationship between oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and up-regulation of active FGF23 levels due to MAP Kinases activation with involvement of the transcriptional factor (NF-kB) has been demonstrated. The active FGF23 increase can be due to up-regulation of its expression and post-transcriptional modifications. 17β–estradiol prevents the increase of FGF23 by inhibiting JNK and NF-kB activation, osteocyte apoptosis and by the down-regulation of osteoclastogenic factors, such as sclerostin. No alteration in the levels of dentin matrix protein 1, a FGF23 negative regulator, has been determined. The results of this study identify biological targets on which drugs and estrogen may act to control active FGF23 levels in oxidative stress-related bone and non-bone inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Exposure to tobacco smoke (TS) has been considered a risk factor for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHIs) have been found to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in a variety of pathologies. This study was designed to assess the effect of sEHI on the development of ONFH phenotypes induced by TS exposure in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats. SH and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were exposed to filtered air (FA) or TS (80 mg/m3 particulate concentration) 6 h/day, 3 days/week for 8 weeks. During this period, sEHI was delivered through drinking water at a concentration of 6 mg/L. Histology, immunohistochemistry, and micro-CT morphometry were performed for phenotypic evaluation. As results, TS exposure induced significant increases in adipocyte area, bone specific surface (BS/BV), and trabecular separation (Tb.SP), as well as significant decreases in bone mineral density (BMD), percent trabecular area (Tb.Ar), HIF-1a expression, bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular numbers (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) in both SH and WKY rats. However, the protective effects of sEHI were mainly observed in TS-exposed SH rats, specifically in the density of osteocytes, BMD, Tb.Ar, HIF-1a expression, BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.N, and Tb.SP. Our study confirms that TS exposure can induce ONFH especially in SH rats, and suggests that sEHI therapy may protect against TS exposure-induced osteonecrotic changes in the femoral head.

Abstract
Invasive dental treatment such as tooth extraction following treatment with strong anti-bone resorptive agents, including bisphosphonates and denosumab, reportedly promotes osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) at the extraction site, but strategies to prevent ONJ remain unclear. Here we show that in mice, administration of either active vitamin D analogues, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents can prevent ONJ development induced by tooth extraction during treatment with the bisphosphonate zoledronate. Specifically, tooth extraction during treatment with zoledronate induced osteonecrosis in mice, but administration of either 1,25(OH)2D3 or ED71, both active vitamin D analogues, significantly antagonized osteonecrosis development, even under continuous zoledronate treatment. 1,25(OH)2D3 or ED71 administration also significantly inhibited osteocyte apoptosis induced by tooth extraction and bisphosphonate treatment. Administration of either active vitamin D analogue significantly inhibited elevation of serum inflammatory cytokine levels in mice in response to injection of lipopolysaccharide, an infection mimetic. Furthermore, administration of either anti-inflammatory or antibiotic reagents significantly blocked ONJ development following tooth extraction and zoledronate treatment. These findings suggest that administration of active vitamin D, anti-inflammatory agents or antibiotics could prevent ONJ development induced by tooth extraction in patients treated with zoledronate.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by osteopenia, characterized by reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption. Osteocytes, the terminally differentiated osteoblasts, are regulators of bone homeostasis, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor (PPR) signaling in mature osteoblasts/osteocytes is essential for PTH-driven anabolic and catabolic skeletal responses. However, the role of PPR signaling in those cells during aging has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to analyze the role of PTH signaling in mature osteoblasts/osteocytes during aging. Mice lacking PPR in osteocyte (Dmp1-PPRKO) display an age-dependent osteopenia characterized by a significant decrease in osteoblast activity and increase in osteoclast number and activity. At the molecular level, the absence of PPR signaling in mature osteoblasts/osteocytes is associated with an increase in serum sclerostin and a significant increase in osteocytes expressing 4-hydroxy-2-nonenals, a marker of oxidative stress. In Dmp1-PPRKO mice there was an age-dependent increase in p16Ink4a/Cdkn2a expression, whereas it was unchanged in controls. In vitro studies demonstrated that PTH protects osteocytes from oxidative stress-induced cell death. In summary, we reported that PPR signaling in osteocytes is important for protecting the skeleton from age-induced bone loss by restraining osteoclast's activity and protecting osteocytes from oxidative stresses.

Abstract
Osseointegration is a prerequisite for the long-term success of implants. Titanium implants are preferred for their biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Nonetheless, the need for early and immediate loading requires enhancing these properties by adding bioactive coatings. In this preclinical study, extracellular matrix properties and cellular balance at the implant/bone interface was examined. Polyelectrolyte multilayers of chitosan and gelatin or with chitosan and Hyaluronic acid fabricated on titanium alloy using a layer-by-layer self-assembly process were compared with native titanium alloy. The study aimed to histologically evaluate bone parameters that correlate to the biomechanical anchorage enhancement resulted from bioactive coatings of titanium implants in a rat animal model. Superior collagen fiber arrangements and an increased number of active osteocytes reflected a significant improvement of bone matrix quality at the bone interface of the chitosan/gelatin-coated titan implants over chitosan/hyaluronic acid-coated and native implants. Furthermore, the numbers and localization of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the reparative and remodeling phases suggested a better cellular balance in the chitosan/Gel-coated group over the other two groups. Investigating the micro-mechanical properties of bone tissue at the interface can elucidate detailed discrepancies between different promising bioactive coatings of titanium alloys to maximize their benefit in future medical applications.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix regulates cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. In vitro two-dimensional cell experiments are typically performed on a plastic plate or a substrate of a single extracellular matrix constituent such as collagen or calcium phosphate. As these approaches do not include extracellular matrix proteins or growth factors, they fail to mimic a complex cell microenvironment. The cell-derived matrix is an alternative platform for better representing the in vivo microenvironment in vitro. Standard decellularization of a cell-derived matrix is achieved by combining chemical and physical methods. In this study, we compared the decellularization efficacy of several methods: ammonium hydroxide, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), or Triton X-100 with cold or heat treatment on a matrix of Saos-2 cells. We found that the protocols containing SDS were cytotoxic during recellularization. Heat treatment at 47 °C was not cytotoxic, removed cellular constituents, inactivated alkaline phosphatase activity, and maintained the levels of calcium deposition. Subsequently, we investigated the differentiation efficiency of a direct bone coculture system in the established decellularized Saos-2 matrix, an inorganic matrix of calcium phosphate, and a plastic plate as a control. We found that the decellularized Saos-2 cell matrix obtained by heat treatment at 47 °C enhanced osteoclast differentiation and matrix mineralization better than the inorganic matrix and the control. This simple and low-cost method allows us to create a Saos-2 decellularized matrix that can be used as an in vivo-like support for the growth and differentiation of bone cells.

Abstract
Xenogeneic biomaterials Cerbone® and OsteoBiol® are widely used in oral implantology. In dental practice, xenogeneic biomaterial is usually combined with autologous bone to provide bone volume stability needed for long-term dental implants. Magnesium alloy implants dissolve and form mineral corrosion layer that is directly in contact with bone tissue, allowing deposition of the newly formed bone. CSBD heals by intramembranous ossification and therefore is a convenient model for analyses of ostoconductive and osteoinductive properties of different type of biomaterials. Magnesium alloy-enriched biomaterials have not yet been applied in oral implantology. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate biological properties of potentially new bovine xenogeneic biomaterial enriched with magnesium alloy in a 5 mm CSBD model. Osteoconductive properties of Cerabone®, Cerabone® + Al. bone, and OsteoBiol® were also analyzed. Dynamics of bone healing was followed up on the days 3, 7, 15, 21, and 30. Calvary bone samples were analyzed by micro-CT, and values of the bone morphometric parameters were assessed. Bone samples were further processed for histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Histological observation revealed CSBD closure at day 30 of the given xenogeneic biomaterial groups, with the exception of the control group. TNF-α showed high intensity of expression at the sites of MSC clusters that underwent ossification. Osx was expressed in pre-osteoblasts, which were differentiated into mature osteoblasts and osteocytes. Results of the micro-CT analyses showed linear increase in bone volume of all xenogeneic biomaterial groups and also in the control. The highest average values of bone volume were found for the Cerabone® + Mg group. In addition, less residual biomaterial was estimated in the Cerabone® + Mg group than in the Cerabone® group, indicating its better biodegradation during CSBD healing. Overall, the magnesium alloy xenogeneic biomaterial demonstrated key properties of osteoinduction and biodegradidibility during CSBD healing, which is the reason why it should be recommended for application in clinical practice of oral implantology.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) induce intracellular oxidative stress (OS) and are involved in numerous diseases. AOPPs accumulate with age, and our previous study revealed that AOPPs accelerated bone deterioration in aged rats. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The present study demonstrated that AOPPs aggravated bone loss in aging male mice by increasing the resorptive activity and decreasing the formative activity of bone tissues. In addition, SOST mRNA (encoding sclerostin) and sclerostin protein levels were increased in the bone tissues of AOPP‑treated mice, which was associated with enhanced OS status as well as decreased Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) mRNA and protein expression levels. Incubation of MLO‑Y4 cells with AOPPs induced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases. The accumulated ROS then upregulated sclerostin expression in MLO‑Y4 cells by decreasing Sirt1 expression. In vivo, AOPP‑challenged mice co‑treated with apocynin (an inhibitor of NADPH oxidases), N‑acetyl‑L‑cysteine (a ROS scavenger) or SRT3025 (a Sirt1 activator) displayed improved bone mass and microstructure. Moreover, sclerostin expression in the bone tissues of the co‑treated groups was significantly lower compared with that in groups treated with AOPPs alone. Collectively, these data suggested that AOPPs aggravated age‑related bone loss by increasing the expression of sclerostin in osteocytes via ROS‑dependent downregulation of Sirt1. The present findings provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) occurring after invasive dental treatment often adversely affects patients' activities of daily living. Long-term administration of strong anti-bone resorptive agents such as bisphosphonates prior to invasive dental treatment is considered an ONJ risk factor; however, pathological mechanisms underlying ONJ development remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed an ONJ mouse model in which a tooth is extracted during treatment with the bisphosphonate zoledronate. RESULTS We observed induction of apoptosis in osteocytes, resulting in formation of empty lacunae in jaw bones at sites of tooth extraction but not in other bones of the same mice. We also observed elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1 in jaw bone at the extraction site relative to other sites in zoledronate-treated mice. We also report that treatment in vitro with either zoledronate or an extract from Porphyromonas gingivalis, an oral bacteria, promotes expression of inflammatory cytokines in osteoclast progenitor cells. We demonstrate that gene-targeting of either TNFα, IL-6 or IL-1 or treatment with etanercept, a TNFα inhibitor, or a neutralizing antibody against IL-6 can antagonize ONJ development caused by combined tooth extraction and zoledronate treatment. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the cytokine storm induced by invasive dental treatment under bisphosphonate treatment promotes ONJ development due to elevated levels of inflammatory cytokine-producing cells. Our work identifies novel targets potentially useful to prevent ONJ.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease and one of the most important postmenopausal consequences. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of quercetin (Q) and vitamin E (vitE) on ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Animals were ovariectomized and treated with Q (15 mg/kg/day), vitE (60 mg/kg/day), estradiol (10 µg/kg/day), and Q (7.5 mg/kg/day) + vitE (30 mg/kg/day) for 10 weeks by gavage, and osteoporosis markers and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of autophagy and apoptosis-related genes were analyzed in serum and tibia of rats. Data indicated that ovariectomy resulted in development of osteoporosis as demonstrated by reduction in serum calcium, bone weight, bone volume, trabeculae volume, and the total number of osteocytes and osteoblasts, and increase in the total number of osteoclasts and serum osteocalcin. Total mRNA expressions of LC3, beclin1, and caspase 3 were also increased and bcl2 expression was decreased in the tibia. By reversing these changes, treatment with Q and vitE markedly improved osteoporosis. In conclusion, Q, and to a lesser extent, vitE, prevented osteoporosis by regulating the total number of bone cells, maybe through regulating autophagy and apoptosis.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of puerarin on promoting the osteogenesis in steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). New Zealand rabbits were administrated with horse serum and methylprednisolone (MPS) for establishing SONFH in vivo model, which was then treated with puerarin treatment. Histo-morphological changes in the femoral head were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Osteoblasts were isolated from healthy rabbits and treated by individual or combined administration of dexamethasone and puerarin. Osteoblast viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Mineralized nodule formation was evaluated by alizarin red assay. Expressions of RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Type-I collagen α 1 (COL1A1), ALP and miR-34a in the femoral head were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Puerarin attenuated the effect of SONFH on promoting histopathological abnormalities and counteracted SONFH inhibition on the expressions of ALP, RUNX2, COL1A1 and miR-34a in the rabbits. Rabbit osteoblasts were successfully isolated, as they showed red mineralized nodules. Dexamethasone exposure decreased osteoblast viability, which was increased by puerarin treatment. Furthermore, puerarin treatment attenuated dexamethasone-induced inhibition on the viability, osteoblastic differentiation, and the expressions of ALP, RUNX2, COL1A1 and miR-34a in the osteoblasts. Puerarin facilitated osteogenesis of steroid-induced necrosis of rabbit femoral head and osteogenesis of steroid-induced osteocytes via miR-34a upregulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of physical exercise (EXE), strontium ranelate (SR), or their combination on bone status in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. DESIGN Sixty female Wistar rats were randomized to one of five groups: sham (Sh), OVX (O), OVX+EXE (OE), OVX+SR (OSR), and OVX+EXE+SR (OESR). Animals in EXE groups were subjected to 10 drops per day (45 cm in height); rats in SR groups received 625 mg/kg/day of SR, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)), mechanical strength of the left femur (three-point bending test), and femur microarchitecture of (micro-computed tomography imaging, microCT) analyses were performed to characterize biomechanical and trabecular/cortical structure. Bone remodeling, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content were evaluated by ELISA and immunofluorescence tests. RESULTS In OVX rats, whole-body BMD, trabecular parameters, and osteocalcin (OCN) levels decreased, while weight, lean/fat mass, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content all increased. EXE after ovariectomy improved BMD and BMC, trabecular parameters, cross-sectional area (CSA), moment of inertia, and OCN levels while decreasing osteocyte apoptosis and lipid content. SR treatment increased BMD and BMC, trabecular parameters, CSA, stiffness, OCN, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. Furthermore, fat mass, N-telopeptide (NTX) level, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content significantly decreased. The combination of both EXE and SR improved bone parameters compared with EXE or SR alone. CONCLUSION EXE and SR had positive and synergistic effects on bone formation and resorption.

Abstract
Osteocytic osteolysis/perilacunar remodeling is thought to contribute to the maintenance of mineral homeostasis. Here, we utilized a reversible, adult-onset model of secondary hyperparathyroidism to study femoral bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD) and osteocyte lacunae sections (OLS) based on quantitative backscattered electron imaging. Male mice with a non-functioning vitamin D receptor (VDRΔ/Δ) or wild-type mice were exposed to a rescue diet (RD) (baseline) and subsequently to a low calcium challenge diet (CD). Thereafter, VDRΔ/Δ mice received either the CD, a normal diet (ND), or the RD. At baseline, BMDD and OLS characteristics were similar in VDRΔ/Δ and wild-type mice. The CD induced large cortical pores, osteomalacia, and a reduced epiphyseal average degree of mineralization in the VDRΔ/Δ mice relative to the baseline (-9.5%, p < 0.05 after two months and -10.3%, p < 0.01 after five months of the CD). Switching VDRΔ/Δ mice on the CD back to the RD fully restored BMDD to baseline values. However, OLS remained unchanged in all groups of mice, independent of diet. We conclude that adult VDRΔ/Δ animals on an RD lack any skeletal abnormalities, suggesting that VDR signaling is dispensable for normal bone mineralization as long as mineral homeostasis is normal. Our findings also indicate that VDRΔ/Δ mice attempt to correct a calcium challenge by enhanced osteoclastic resorption rather than by osteocytic osteolysis.

Abstract
Bone substitute materials loaded with mediators that stimulate fracture healing are demanded in the clinical treatment in trauma surgery and orthopedics. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) enhances the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblast. To load the implants with BDNF, a drug delivery system that allows the release of BDNF under spatiotemporal control would improve functionality. Polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (PECNP) have been reported as a suitable drug delivery system. The suitability of PECNP in contact with osteocytes as the main cell type of bone is not known so far. Thus, we aimed to verify that BDNF and PECNP loaded with BDNF (PECNP+BDNF) as well as pure PECNP have no negative effects on osteocytes in vitro. Therefore, the murine osteocyte cell line MLO-Y4 was treated with BDNF and PECNP+BDNF. The effects on proliferation were analyzed by the BrdU test (n = 5). The results demonstrated a significant increase in proliferation 24 h after BDNF application, whereas PECNP+BDNF did not lead to significant changes. Thus, we conclude that BDNF is an appropriate mediator to stimulate osteocytes. Since the addition of PECNP did not affect the viability of osteocytes, we conclude that PECNP are a suitable drug delivery system for bone implants.

Abstract
The Osteocyte, recognized as a major orchestrator of osteoblast and osteoclast activity, is the most important key player during bone remodeling processes. Imbalances occurring during bone remodeling, caused by hormone perturbations or by mechanical loading alterations, can induce bone pathologies such as osteoporosis. Recently, the active fraction of parathormone, PTH (1-34) or Teriparatide (TPTD), was chosen as election treatment for osteoporosis. The effect of such therapy is dependent on the temporal manner of administration. The molecular reasons why the type of administration regimen is so critical for the fate of bone remodeling are numerous and not yet well known. Our study attempts to analyze diverse signaling pathways directly activated in osteocytes upon TPTD treatment. By means of gene array analysis, we found many molecules upregulated or downregulated in osteocytes. Later, we paid attention to Wisp-2, a protein involved in the Wnt pathway, that is secreted by MLO-Y4 cells and increases upon TPTD treatment and that is able to positively influence the early phases of osteogenic differentiation. We also confirmed the pro osteogenic property of Wisp-2 during mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into the preliminary osteoblast phenotype. The same results were confirmed with an in vivo approach confirming a remarkable Wisp-2 expression in metaphyseal trabecular bone. These results highlighted the anabolic roles unrolled by osteocytes in controlling the action of neighboring cells, suggesting that the perturbation of certain signaling cascades, such as the Wnt pathway, is crucial for the positive regulation of bone formation.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are widely used to suppress inflammation or the immune system. High doses and long-term use of glucocorticoids lead to an important and common iatrogenic complication, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, in a substantial proportion of patients. Glucocorticoids mainly increase bone resorption during the initial phase (the first year of treatment) by enhancing the differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts. Glucocorticoids also inhibit osteoblastogenesis and promote apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteocytes, resulting in decreased bone formation during long-term use. Several indirect effects of glucocorticoids on bone metabolism, such as suppression of production of insulin-like growth factor 1 or growth hormone, are involved in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Fracture risk assessment for all patients with long-term use of oral glucocorticoids is required. Non-pharmacological interventions to manage the risk of fracture should be prescribed to all patients, while pharmacological management is reserved for patients who have increased fracture risk. Various treatment options can be used, ranging from bisphosphonates to denosumab, as well as teriparatide. Finally, appropriate monitoring during treatment is also important.

Abstract
This study sought to derive an enhanced understanding of the complex intracellular interactions that drive bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis. We applied an in-vitro multicellular niche to recapitulate cell-cell signalling between osteocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts to investigate (1) how estrogen-deficient and mechanically loaded osteocytes regulate osteoclastogenesis and (2) whether ROCK-II inhibition affects these mechanobiological responses. We report that mechanically stimulated and estrogen-deficient osteocytes upregulated RANKL/OPG and M-CSF gene expression, when compared to those treated with 10 nM estradiol. Osteoclast precursors (RAW 264.7) cultured within this niche underwent significant reduction in osteoclastogenic gene expression (CTSK), and there was an increasing trend in the area covered by TRAP+ osteoclasts (24% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.06). Most interestingly, upon treatment with the ROCK-II inhibitor, RANKL/OPG and M-CSF gene expression by estrogen-deficient osteocytes were downregulated. Yet, this inhibition of the pro-osteoclastogenic factors by osteocytes did not ultimately reduce the differentiation of osteoclast precursors. Indeed, TRAP and CTSK gene expressions in osteoclast precursors were upregulated, and there was an increased trend for osteoclast area (30.4% vs. 24%, p = 0.07), which may have been influenced by static osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) that were included in the niche. We conclude that ROCK-II inhibition can attenuate bone loss driven by osteocytes during estrogen deficiency.

Abstract
Anti-resorptive and anabolic treatments can be used sequentially to treat osteoporosis, but their effects on bone composition are incompletely understood. Osteocytes may influence bone tissue composition with sequential therapies because bisphosphonates diffuse into the canalicular network and anabolic treatments increase osteocyte lacunar size. Cortical bone composition of osteopenic, ovariectomized (OVX) rats was compared to that of Sham-operated rats and OVX rats given monotherapy or sequential regimens of single approved anti-osteoporosis medications. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were OVX (N = 37) or Sham-OVXd (N = 6). After 2 months, seven groups of OVX rats were given three consecutive 3-month periods of treatment with vehicle (V), h-PTH (1-34) (P), alendronate (A), or raloxifene (R), using the following orders: VVV, PVV, RRR, RPR, AAA, AVA, and APA. Compositional properties around osteocyte lacunae of the left tibial cortex were assessed from Raman spectra in perilacunar and non-perilacunar bone matrix regions. Sequential treatments involving parathyroid hormone (PTH) caused lower mean collagen maturity relative to monotherapies. Mean mineral:matrix ratio was 2.2% greater, mean collagen maturity was 1.4% greater, and mean carbonate:phosphate ratio was 2.2% lower in the perilacunar than in the non-perilacunar bone matrix region (all P < 0.05). These data demonstrate cortical bone tissue composition differences around osteocytes caused by sequential treatment with anti-osteoporosis medications. We speculate that the region-specific differences demonstrate the ability of osteocytes to alter bone tissue composition adjacent to lacunae.

Abstract
Obesity remodels bone and increases bone marrow adipocytes (BMAT), which negatively regulate hematopoiesis and bone. Reduced BMAT could restore altered hematopoiesis and bone features. We analyzed the potential of erythropoietin (EPO), the cytokine required for erythropoiesis, to inhibit BMAT in C57BL6/J mice fed four weeks of a high-fat diet (HFD). Acute EPO administration markedly decreased BMAT in regular chow diet (RCD) and HFD-fed mice, without affecting whole body fat mass. Micro-CT analysis showed EPO reduced trabecular bone in RCD- and HFD-fed mice, but EPO-treated HFD-fed mice maintained cortical bone mineral density and cortical bone volume, which was reduced on RCD. Despite achieving similar increased hematocrits with BMAT loss in RCD- and HFD-fed mice treated with EPO, decreased bone marrow cellularity was only observed in RCD-fed mice concomitant with an increasing percentage of bone marrow erythroid cells. In contrast, in HFD-fed mice, EPO increased endothelial cells and stromal progenitors with a trend toward the normalization of marrow homeostasis. EPO administration increased c-terminal FGF23 and intact serum FGF23 only in HFD-fed mice. These data demonstrate the distinct EPO responses of bone and marrow in normal and obese states, accompanying EPO-induced loss of BMAT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) is a serine/threonine kinase activated by cellular stress stimuli including radiation, osmotic shock, and inflammation and influencing apoptosis, cell proliferation, and autophagy. Moreover, p38MAPK induces transcriptional activity of the transcription factor complex NFκB mediating multiple pro-inflammatory cellular responses. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is produced by bone cells, and regulates renal phosphate and vitamin D metabolism as a hormone. FGF23 expression is enhanced by NFκB. Here, we analyzed the relevance of p38MAPK activity for the production of FGF23. METHODS Fgf23 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR and FGF23 protein by ELISA in UMR106 osteoblast-like cells and in IDG-SW3 osteocytes. RESULTS Inhibition of p38MAPK with SB203580 or SB202190 significantly down-regulated Fgf23 expression and FGF23 protein expression. Conversely, p38MAPK activator anisomycin increased the abundance of Fgf23 mRNA. NFκB inhibitors wogonin and withaferin A abrogated the stimulatory effect of anisomycin on Fgf23 gene expression. CONCLUSION p38MAPK induces FGF23 formation, an effect at least in part dependent on NFκB activity.

Abstract
The biomineralization of bone remains a puzzle. During Haversian remodeling in the dense human cortical bone, osteoclasts excavate a tunnel that is then filled in by osteoblasts with layers of bone of varying fibril orientations, resulting in a lamellar motif. Such bone represents an excellent possibility to increase our understanding of bone as a material as well as bone biomineralization by studying spatio/temporal variations in the biomineral across an osteon. To this end, fluorescence computed tomography and diffraction scattering computed tomography with sub-micrometer resolution is applied to obtain position resolved fluorescence spectra and diffraction patterns in a 3D volume. The microstructural properties of the apatite biomineral are not homogeneous but depend critically on the time point at which it was laid down. This indicates that the nature of bone biomineral is highly dependent on the microenvironment during bone formation and remodeling.

Abstract
Bone quality in diabetic patients is compromised, leading to weaker bones and increased fracture risk. However, the mechanism by which this occurs in diabetic bone remains to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that elevated glucose and glucose variation would affect the function of osteocytes, essential regulators of bone homeostasis and quality. To first test this hypothesis, we used the IDG-SW3 osteocyte-like cell line to examine the effects of glucose levels on osteocyte function and viability in vitro. We confirmed our in vitro findings using the in vivo streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rat model and ex-vivo cultured osteocytes from these rats. IDG-SW3 cells cultured under high glucose conditions displayed significantly increased Sost mRNA(100-fold) and sclerostin protein, a negative regulator of bone formation(5000-fold), compared to cells in control media. mRNA expression of osteoblast markers such as Osx, Ocn and Col1a1 was unaffected by glucose. Factors associated with osteoclast activation were affected by glucose, with Rankl being upregulated by low glucose. Opg was also transiently upregulated by high glucose in mature IDG-SW3 cells. Induction of diabetes in Sprague-Dawley rats via a single dose of STZ (70 mg/kg) resulted in elevated maximum glucose and increased variability compared to control animals (670/796 vs. 102/142 mg/dL). This was accompanied by increased Sost/sclerostin expression in the osteocytes of these animals. These results show that glucose levels directly regulate osteocyte function through sclerostin expression and suggest a potential mechanism for the negative impact of diabetes on bone quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional herbal formula Gushukang (GSK) has been clinically applied to treat primary osteoporosis, which can stimulate osteoblastogenesis and improve calcium homeostasis. However, it remains unknown the mechanism that GSK against ovariectomized (OVX) induced damage. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GSK on BMP-2/Smsds signaling pathway and osteocyte apoptosis which has been reported to play a central role in bone remodeling. STUDY DESIGN OVX in rat was established and GSK was administered. RESULTS BMP-2/Smsds signaling pathway was inhibited and the number of apoptotic osteocytes was increased in OVX rats. Treatment with GSK significantly enhanced BMP-2/Smsds signaling pathway by up-regulating the expression of BMP-2, p-Smad1 and p-Smad5, Osterix and Runx2, and inhibited osteocyte apoptosis by up-regulating Bcl-xl and down-regulating Bak, which were consistent with histological changes revealed by ALP, Trap and TUNEL staining. GSK treatment improved bone mass and micro-structure of trabecular bone at distal femur in OVX rats shown by BMD, micro-CT measurement and HE staining. CONCLUSION These data suggest that GSK exhibited protective effects on promoting bone formation and precluding osteocyte apoptosis. The underlying mechanism may be attributed to its regulation on BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway and Bcl2 family.

Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) increases oxidation and inflammation; however, the mechanism of Hcy-induced bone fragility remains unclear. Because selective estrogen modulators (SERMs) have an anti-oxidative effect, SERMs may rescue the Hcy-induced bone fragility. We aimed to examine whether oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 are involved in the Hcy-induced apoptosis of osteocytes and whether bazedoxifene (BZA) inhibits the detrimental effects of Hcy. We used mouse osteocyte-like cell lines MLO-Y4-A2 and Ocy454. Apoptosis was examined by DNA fragmentation ELISA and TUNEL staining, and gene expression was evaluated by real-time PCR. Hcy 5 mM significantly increased expressions of NADPH oxidase (Nox)1, Nox2, IL-1β, and IL-6 as well as apoptosis in MLO-Y4-A2 cells. Nox inhibitors, diphenyleneiodonium chloride and apocynin, significantly suppressed Hcy-induced IL-1β and IL-6 expressions. In contrast, an IL-1β receptor antagonist and an IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody had no effects on Hcy-induced Nox1 and Nox2 expressions, but significantly rescued Hcy-induced apoptosis. BZA (1 nM-1 μM) and 17β estradiol 100 nM significantly rescued Hcy-induced apoptosis, while an estrogen receptor blocker ICI 182,780 reversed the effects of BZA and 17β estradiol. BZA also rescued Hcy-induced apoptosis of Ocy454 cell, and ICI canceled the effect of BZD. Moreover, BZA significantly ameliorated Hcy-induced expressions of Nox1, Nox2, IL-1β, and IL-6, and ICI canceled the effects of BZA on their expressions. Hcy increases apoptosis through stimulating Nox 1 and Nox 2-IL-1β and IL-6 expressions in osteocyte-like cells. BZA inhibits the detrimental effects of Hcy on osteocytes via estrogen receptor.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a disease appearing after tooth removal in patients undergoing bisphosphonate treatment for metastasizing cancers and osteoporosis. The complexity of the condition requires a multicellular model to address the net effects of two key risk factors: mechanical trauma (pathologic overload) and inflammation. In this work, a system comprised of a polydimethylsiloxane chip and mechanical loading device is used to expose bisphosphonate-treated osteocytes to mechanical trauma. Specifically, osteocytes are treated with the potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid, and exposed to short-term pathologic overload via substrate stretch. During bone remodeling, osteocyte apoptosis plays a role in attracting pre-osteoclasts to sites of damage; as such, lactate dehydrogenase activity, cell death and protein expression are evaluated as functions of load. Additionally, the effects of osteocyte soluble factors on osteoclast and osteoblast functional activity are quantified. Osteoclast activity and bone resorption are quantified in the presence and absence of inflammatory components, lipopolysaccharide and interferon gamma. Results suggest that inflammation associated with bacterial infection may hinder bone resorption by osteoclasts. In addition, osteocytes may respond to overload by altering expression of soluble signals that act on osteoblasts to attenuate bone formation. These findings give insight into the multicellular interactions implicated in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Impaired osteoblast and osteocyte maturation contribute to mineralization defects and excess FGF23 expression in CKD bone. Vitamin D sterols decrease osteoid accumulation and increase FGF23 expression; these agents also increase osteoblast maturation in vitro but a link between changes in bone cell maturation, bone mineralization, and FGF23 expression in response to vitamin D sterols has not been established. We evaluated unmineralized osteoid accumulation, osteocyte maturity markers (FGF23: early osteocytes; sclerostin: late osteocytes), and osteocyte apoptosis in iliac crest of 11 pediatric dialysis patients before and after 8 months of doxercalciferol therapy. We then evaluated the effect of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D on in vitro maturation and mineralization of primary osteoblasts from dialysis patients. Unmineralized osteoid accumulation decreased while numbers of early (FGF23-expressing) increased in response to doxercalciferol. Osteocyte apoptosis was low but increased with doxercalciferol. Bone FGF23 expression correlated with numbers of early, FGF23-expressing, osteocytes (r = 0.83, p < 0.001). In vitro, 1,25(OH)2vitamin D increased expression of the mature osteoblast marker osteocalcin (BGLAP) but only very high (100 nM) concentrations affected in vitro osteoblast mineralization. High doses (10 and 100 nM) of 1,25(OH)2vitamin D also increased the ratio of RANKL/OPG expression in CKD osteoblasts. Vitamin D sterols directly stimulate osteoblast maturation. They also increase osteocyte turnover and increase osteoblast expression of osteoclast differentiation factors, thus likely modulating osteoblast/osteoclast/osteocyte coupling. By increasing numbers of early osteocytes, vitamin D sterols increase FGF23 expression in CKD bone.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders represent an elevated socioeconomic burden for developed aging societies. Osteoporosis (OP) has been treated with antiresorptive therapies or with teriparatide that was until recently the only anabolic therapy. However, approval of osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal women with abaloparatide, which is an analog of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), has created a new alternative for OP management. The success of this new treatment is related to differential mechanisms of activation of PTH receptor type 1 (PTH1R) by abaloparatide and PTH. Here, we address the distinguishing mechanisms of PTH1R activation; the effects of PTH1R stimulation in osteoblast, osteocytes, and chondrocytes; the differences between PTH and abaloparatide actions on PTH1R; potential safety concerns; and future perspectives about abaloparatide use in other musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipotoxicity is defined as cellular toxicity observed in the presence of an abnormal accumulation of fat and adipocyte-derived factors in non-fat tissues. Palmitic acid (PA), an abundant fatty acid in the bone marrow and particularly in osteoporotic bones, affects osteoblastogenesis and osteoblast function, decreasing their survival through induction of apoptosis and dysfunctional autophagy. In this study, we hypothesized that PA also has a lipotoxic effect on osteocytes in vitro. METHODS Initially, we tested the effect of PA on osteocyte-derived factors DKK1, sclerostin and RANKL. Then, we tested whether PA affects survival and causes apoptosis in osteocytes. Subsequently, we investigated the effect of PA on autophagy by detecting the membrane component LC3-II (Western blot) and staining it and lysosomes with Lysotracker Red dye. RESULTS PA decreases RANKL, DKK1 and sclerostin expression in osteocytes. In addition, we found that PA induces apoptosis and reduces osteocyte survival. PA also caused autophagy failure identified by a significant increase in LC3-II and a reduced number of autophagosomes/lysosomes in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION In addition to the effects of PA on RANKL, DKK1 and sclerostin expression, which could have significant deleterious impact on bone cell coupling and bone turnover, PA also induced apoptosis and reduced autophagy in osteocytes. Considering that apoptosis and cell dysfunction are two common changes occurring in the osteocytes of osteoporotic bone, our findings suggest that PA could play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Suppression of these effects could bring new potential targets for therapeutic interventions in the future.

Abstract
A positive association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and osteoporosis has been demonstrated in previous animal studies. The mechanisms of MetS in orchestrating the bone remodelling process have traditionally focused on the interactions between mature osteoblasts and osteoclasts, while the role of osteocytes is unexplored. Our earlier studies demonstrated the bone-promoting effects of tocotrienol using a rat model of osteoporosis induced by MetS. This study aimed to investigate the expression of osteocyte-derived peptides in the bone of rats with MetS-induced osteoporosis treated with tocotrienol. Age-matched male Wistar rats (12-week-old; n = 42) were divided into seven experimental groups. Two groups served as the baseline and normal group, respectively. The other five groups were fed with a high-carbohydrate high-fat (HCHF) diet to induce MetS. The five groups of HCHF animals were treated with tocopherol-stripped corn oil (vehicle), annatto tocotrienol (60 and 100 mg/kg), and palm tocotrienol (60 and 100 mg/kg) starting from week 8. At the end of the study, the rats were sacrificed and their right tibias were harvested. Protein was extracted from the metaphyseal region of the proximal right tibia and levels of bone peptides, including osteoprotegerin (OPG), soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (sRANKL), sclerostin (SOST), Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK-1), fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), and parathyroid hormone (PTH), were measured. The vehicle-treated animals displayed higher levels of sRANKL, SOST, DKK-1, FGF-23, and PTH as compared to the normal animals. Oral supplementation of annatto and palm tocotrienol (60 and 100 mg/kg) reduced the levels of sRANKL and FGF-23 in the HCHF animals. Only 100 mg/kg annatto and palm tocotrienol lowered SOST and DKK-1 levels in the HCHF animals. In conclusion, tocotrienol exerts potential skeletal-promoting benefit by modulating the levels of osteocytes-derived bone-related peptides.

Abstract
The vascular wall is a source of progenitor cells that are able to induce skeletal repair, primarily by paracrine mechanisms. Here, the paracrine role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in bone healing was investigated. First, purified human perivascular stem cells (PSCs) were observed to induce mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic effects on osteoprogenitor cells while in non-contact co-culture via elaboration of EVs. PSC-derived EVs shared mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic properties of their parent cell. PSC-EV effects were dependent on surface-associated tetraspanins, as demonstrated by EV trypsinization, or neutralizing antibodies for CD9 or CD81. Moreover, shRNA knockdown in recipient cells demonstrated requirement for the CD9/CD81 binding partners IGSF8 and PTGFRN for EV bioactivity. Finally, PSC-EVs stimulated bone repair, and did so via stimulation of skeletal cell proliferation, migration, and osteodifferentiation. In sum, PSC-EVs mediate the same tissue repair effects of perivascular stem cells, and represent an 'off-the-shelf' alternative for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Mutations in Serpinf1 gene which encodes pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) lead to osteogenesis imperfecta type VI whose hallmark is defective matrix mineralization. We reported previously that PEDF reduced expression and synthesis of Sost/Sclerostin as well as other osteocytes genes encoding proteins that regulate matrix mineralization [1]. To determine whether PEDF had an effect on osteocyte gene expression in bone, we used bone explant cultures. First, osteocytes were isolated from surgical waste of bone fragments obtained from patients undergoing elective foot surgeries under approved IRB protocol by Penn State College of Medicine IRB committee. Primary osteocytes treated with PEDF reduced expression and synthesis of Sost/Sclerostin and matrix phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) as well as dentin matrix protein (DMP-1). On the whole, PEDF reduced osteocyte protein synthesis by 50% and by 75% on mRNA levels. For bone explants, following collagenase digestion, bone fragments were incubated in alpha-MEM supplemented with 250 ng/ml of PEDF or BSA. After 7 days of incubation in a medium supplemented with PEDF, analysis of mRNA by PCR and protein by western blotting of encoded osteocyte proteins showed reduced Sclerostin synthesis by 39% and MEPE by 27% when compared to fragments incubated in medium supplemented with BSA. mRNA expression levels of osteocytes in bone fragments treated with PEDF were reduced by 50% for both SOST and MEPE when compared to BSA-treated bone fragments. Taken together, the data indicate that PEDF has an effect on osteocyte gene expression in bone and encourage further studies to examine effect of PEDF on bone formation indices in animal models and its effect on osteocyte gene expression in vivo following PEDF administration.

Abstract
Many studies have investigated the actions of melatonin on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, the underlying mechanisms, especially regarding osteocyte function, remain largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the underlying mechanisms of melatonin action on bone tissue via osteocyte function. Chick calvariae were employed as a model. In ovo injection of melatonin (5, 50 and 500 µg) dose-dependently decreased the mRNA expression levels of cathepsin K and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in chick calvariae without affecting the expression levels of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand or osteoprotegerin. Surprisingly enough, the expression of calcitonin mRNA in chick calvariae was significantly raised. After 3 days of in vitro treatment of melatonin (10-7 and 10-5 M) on newly hatched chick calvariae, both calcitonin mRNA expression in calvariae and the concentration of calcitonin in cultured medium were augmented in a dose-dependent manner, coincident with the decreased mRNA expression levels of cathepsin K and MMP9. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed expression of melatonin receptors and calcitonin by osteocytes buried in bone matrix. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of melatonin receptors, calcitonin and sclerostin (a marker of osteocyte), were strongly and positively correlated. In conclusion, we demonstrated the expression of melatonin receptors and calcitonin expression in osteocytes for the first time and suggest a new mechanism underlying the suppressive effect of melatonin on osteoclasts via upregulation of calcitonin secretion by osteocytes.

Abstract
Loss of bone and muscle mass are two major clinical complications among the growing list of chronic diseases that primarily affect elderly individuals. Persistent low-grade inflammation, one of the major drivers of aging, is also associated with both bone and muscle dysfunction in aging. Particularly, chronic activation of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and elevated levels of its ligands high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), AGEs, S100 proteins and Aβ fibrils have been linked to bone and muscle loss in various pathologies. Further, genetic or pharmacologic RAGE inhibition has been shown to preserve both bone and muscle mass. However, whether short-term pharmacologic RAGE inhibition can prevent early bone and muscle loss in aging is unknown. To address this question, we treated young (4-mo) and middle-aged (15-mo) C57BL/6 female mice with vehicle or Azeliragon, a small-molecule RAGE inhibitor initially developed to treat Alzheimer's disease. Azeliragon did not prevent the aging-induced alterations in bone geometry or mechanics, likely due to its differential effects [direct vs. indirect] on bone cell viability/function. On the other hand, Azeliragon attenuated the aging-related body composition changes [fat and lean mass] and reversed the skeletal muscle alterations induced with aging. Interestingly, while Azeliragon induced similar metabolic changes in bone and skeletal muscle, aging differentially altered the expression of genes associated with glucose uptake/metabolism in these two tissues, highlighting a potential explanation for the differential effects of Azeliragon on bone and skeletal muscle in middle-aged mice. Overall, our findings suggest that while short-term pharmacologic RAGE inhibition did not protect against early aging-induced bone alterations, it prevented against the early effects of aging in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Gaucher and Fabry diseases are the most prevalent sphingolipidoses. Chronic inflammation is activated in those disorders, which could play a role in pathogenesis. Significant degrees of amelioration occur in patients upon introduction of specific therapies; however, restoration to complete health status is not always achieved. The idea of an adjunctive therapy that targets inflammation may be a suitable option for patients. PPS is a mixture of semisynthetic sulfated polyanions that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in mucopolysaccharidosis type I and II patients and animal models of type I, IIIA and VI. We hypothesized PPS could be a useful adjunctive therapy to inflammation for Gaucher and Fabry diseases. The objective of this work is to analyze the in vitro effect of PPS on inflammatory cytokines in cellular models of Gaucher and Fabry diseases, and to study its effect in Gaucher disease associated in vitro bone alterations. Cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Fabry and Gaucher patients were exposed to PPS. The secretion of proinflammatory cytokines was significantly reduced. Peripheral blood cells exposed to PPS from Gaucher patients revealed a reduced tendency to differentiate to osteoclasts. Osteoblasts and osteocytes cell lines were incubated with an inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase, and conditioned media was harvested in order to analyze if those cells secrete factors that induce osteoclastogenesis. Conditioned media from this cell cultures exposed to PPS produced lower numbers of osteoclasts. We could demonstrate PPS is an effective molecule to reduce the production of proinflammatory cytokines in in vitro models of Fabry and Gaucher diseases. Moreover, it was effective at ameliorating bone alterations of in vitro models of Gaucher disease. These results serve as preclinical supportive data to start clinical trials in human patients to analyze the effect of PPS as a potential adjunctive therapy for Fabry and Gaucher diseases.

Abstract
Exosomes, also known as extracellular vesicles, are naturally occurring, biocompatible, and bioacive nanoparticles ranging from 40 to 150 nm in diameter. Bone-secreted exosomes play important roles in bone homeostasis, the interruption of which can lead to diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteopetrosis. Though the relationship between vascular and bone homeostasis has been recognized recently, the role of vascular endothelial cell (EC)-secreted exosomes (EC-Exos) in bone homeostasis is not well understood. Herein, we found that EC-Exos show more efficient bone targeting than osteoblast-derived exosomes or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes. We also found that EC-Exos can be internalized by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) to alter their morphology. EC-Exos can inhibit osteoclast activity in vitro and inhibit osteoporosis in an ovariectomized mouse model. Sequencing of exosome miRNA revealed that miR-155 was highly expressed in EC-Exos-treated BMMs. The miR-155 level in EC-Exos was much higher than that in BMMs and ECs, indicating that miR-155 was endogenous cargo of EC-derived vesicles. Blockage of BMMs miR-155 levels reversed the suppression by EC-Exos of osteoclast induction, confirming that exosomal miR-155 may have therapeutic potential against osteoporosis. Taken together, our findings suggest that EC-Exos may be utilized as a bone targeting and nontoxic nanomedicine for the treatment of bone resorption disorders.

Abstract
Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein that is mainly expressed in osteocytes, exerts negative effects on bone formation, and is present at elevated levels in diabetes mellitus (DM). Periodontitis is an infectious disease caused by periodontopathic bacteria, a complication of DM, and sometimes associated with severe inflammation and alveolar bone resorption. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are a major pathogen in DM complications and adversely influence periodontitis in DM patients. In the present study, the effects of AGE2 and Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P-LPS) on the expression of sclerostin in mouse osteocyte-like cells (MLO-Y4-A2 cells) and its function in osteoblast differentiation were investigated. AGE2 and P-LPS up-regulated the expressions of receptor of AGE (RAGE) and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), respectively, and significantly up-regulated that of sclerostin and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in osteocytes. Sclerostin, RAGE and TLR2 levels were synergistically increased by AGE2 and P-LPS. The siRNAs of RAGE and TLR2 significantly inhibited AGE2- and P-LPS-induced sclerostin expression. AGE2 up-regulated sclerostin expression in osteocyte-like cells via the RAGE, ERK and JNK, and NF-κB signal pathways. On the other hand, P-LPS elevated sclerostin levels via the TLR2, JNK and p38, and NF-κB signal pathways. When osteocytes pre-treated with AGE2 and P-LPS and osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) were co-cultured in the medium with a sclerostin-neutralizing antibody, AGE2- and P-LPS-induced decreases in alkaline phosphatase activity and Runx2 expression in osteoblastic cells were significantly inhibited by the sclerostin-neutralizing antibody. These results suggest that AGE2 and P-LPS influence bone metabolism and inflammation through the regulation of sclerostin expression, and may aggravate periodontitis with DM.

Abstract
Metformin, an anti-hyperglycemic agent used for type 2 diabetes, has recently been found to have more effects apart from glucose regulation. We found that, in ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene particle-induced osteolysis mouse models, metformin had bone protect property and reduced the negative regulator of bone formation sclerostin (SOST) and Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1), and increased osteoprotegerin (OPG) secretion and the ratio of OPG/Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand (RANKL). In vitro, we established a 3D co-culture system in which metformin affects osteoblasts and osteoclasts through mature osteocytes secretion. Metformin (50 μM) significantly decreased SOST and DKK1 mRNA expression, stimulating alkaline phosphatase activity and proliferation of osteoblast, and increased OPG secretion and the ratio of OPG/RANKL, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, the effect on OPG was reversed by adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase inhibitor, Compound C. Our finding suggests that metformin induces differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts, while inhibits osteoclastogenesis via mature osteocytes secretion. Therefore, the drug might be beneficial for not only diabetes but also in other bone disorders by acting on mature osteocytes.

Abstract
A link between vascular calcification and bone anomalies has been suggested in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with low bone turnover disease. We investigated the vascular expression of osteocyte markers in relation to bone microarchitecture and mineralization defects in a model of low bone turnover CKD rats with vascular calcification. CKD with vascular calcification was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy followed by high calcium and phosphate diet, and vitamin D supplementation (Ca/P/VitD). CKD + Ca/P/VitD group (n = 12) was compared to CKD + normal diet (n = 12), control + normal diet (n = 8) and control + Ca/P/VitD supplementation (n = 8). At week 6, tibia, femurs and the thoracic aorta were analysed by Micro-Ct, histomorphometry and for expression of osteocyte markers. High Ca/P/VitD treatment induced vascular calcification only in CKD rats, suppressed serum parathyroid hormone levels and led to higher sclerostin, DKK1 and FGF23 serum levels. Expression of sclerostin, DKK1 and DMP1 but not FGF23 were increased in calcified vessels from CKD + Ca/P/VitD rats. Despite low parathyroid hormone levels, tibia bone cortical thickness was significantly lower in CKD + Ca/P/VitD rats as compared to control rats fed a normal diet, which is likely the result of radial growth impairment. Finally, Ca/P/VitD treatment in CKD rats induced a bone mineralization defect, which is likely explained by the high calcitriol dose. In conclusion, Ca/P/VitD supplementation in CKD rats induces expression of osteocyte markers in vessels and bone mineralisation anomalies. Further studies should evaluate the mechanisms of high dose calcitriol-induced bone mineralisation defects in CKD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW The goal of the review is to provide an updated understanding of the pathophysiology of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and treatment recommendations. RECENT FINDINGS Glucocorticoids reduce osteoblast and osteocyte lifespan and activity and reduce the vascularity of the bone that together may explain the greater reductions in bone strength than those of bone mass. Treatments with parathyroid hormone fragments appear to reverse glucocorticoid-induced bone loss and fracture risk partially through maintaining bone vascularity and bone strength. This review identifies how glucocorticoid anti-osteogenic and vascular effects together may reduce bone strength. It also provides guidance to clinicians on rationale treatment for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteocyte plays an essential role in bone metabolism by regulating osteoblast and osteoclast activities. Dysfunction or apoptosis of osteocyte will severely endanger the bone homeostasis and result in bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has been considered as one of the diabetes complications; however, the mechanism is still to be discovered. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), as the main pathogenic factor of diabetes mellitus, have the capacity to induce osteocyte apoptosis thus sabotaging bone homeostasis. Here, we examined the role of AGE during osteocyte apoptosis and how this effect would affect osteocyte's regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast. Mouse osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells were used to study the properties of osteocyte and to examine its biological and pathological function. MTT assay and Annexin V assay showed that AGE significantly induce MLO-Y4 cell apoptosis. qPCR and Western blot results have shown that AGE upregulates proapoptotic gene p53 and its downstream target gene Bax, which leads to enhanced activation of caspase-3, thus inducing apoptosis in MLO-Y4 cells. Increased expression of sclerostin and RANKL in osteocytes has shown that AGE induces osteocyte dysfunction thus severely damaging the bone homeostasis by decreasing osteoblast and increasing osteoclast activities. Furthermore, the role of the transcription factor FOXO1, which is intensely associated with apoptosis, has been determined. Western blot has shown that AGE significantly decreases Akt activities. Immunofluorescence has shown that AGE promotes FOXO1 nuclei localization and enhances FOXO1 expression. Silencing of FOXO1 suppressed AGE-enhanced apoptosis; mRNA and protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3, sclerostin, and RANKL were downregulated as well. Moreover, exogenous FOXO1 increased caspase-3 mRNA levels and caspase-3 transcriptional activity. Lastly, ChIP assay has established the capacity of FOXO1 binding directly on the caspase-3, sclerostin, and RANKL promoter region in AGE environment, providing the mechanism of the AGE-induced osteocyte apoptosis and dysfunction. Our results have shown that FOXO1 plays a crucial role in AGE-induced osteocyte dysfunction and apoptosis through its regulation of caspase-3, sclerostin, and RANKL. This study provides new insight into diabetes-enhanced risk of osteoporosis given the critical role of AGE in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the essential part of osteocyte in bone metabolism.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the use of Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium (ITS) medium in place of fetal bovine serum (FBS) to culture human amnion mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). Cell morphology, ultrastructure, proliferation, migration and MSC related markers were assessed accordingly. The hAMSCs were induced to osteocyte, chondrocyte, adipocyte and keratinocyte by culturing in appropriate induction medium. hAMSCs mRNA expression was detected for the matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF), and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β) by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Our results showed that hAMSCs cultured in ITS medium exhibited similar proliferation rates, demonstrated a statistically significant increased migration and expressed similar levels of MSC markers(CD73+, CD90+, CD105+, CD45-, CD34-) compared with those cultured in FBS. Osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes and keratinocytes were differentiated. Results of transmission electron microscope (TEM) revealed that hAMSCs cultured in ITS medium underwent active metabolism. The mRNA expression of MMP2, VEGF, KGF, TGF-β, IGF-I and PDGF upregulated in ITS medium. In conclusion, ITS medium has the potential to be used for the expansion of hAMSCs before clinical application.

Abstract
Long-term diabetes mellitus can induce osteopenia and osteoporosis, an increase in the incidence of low-stress fractures, and/or delayed fracture healing. Strontium ranelate (SrR) is a dual-action anti-osteoporotic agent whose use in individuals with diabetic osteopathy has not been adequately evaluated. In this study, we studied the effects of an oral treatment with SrR and/or experimental diabetes on bone composition and biomechanics. Young male Wistar rats (half non-diabetic, half with streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetes) were either untreated or orally administered 625 mg/kg/day of SrR for 6 weeks. After sacrifice, femora from all animals were evaluated by a multi-scale approach (X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical-emission spectrometry, static histomorphometry, pQCT, and mechanical testing) to determine chemical, crystalline, and biomechanical properties. Untreated diabetic animals (versus untreated non-diabetic) showed a decrease in femoral mineral carbonate content, in cortical thickness and BMC, in trabecular osteocyte density, in maximum load supported at rupture and at yield point, and in overall toughness at mid-shaft. Treatment of diabetic animals with SrR further affected several parameters of bone (some already impaired by diabetes): crystallinity index (indicating less mature apatite crystals); trabecular area, BMC, and vBMD; maximum load at yield point; and structural elastic rigidity. However, SrR was also able to prevent the diabetes-induced decreases in trabecular osteocyte density (completely) and in bone ultimate strength at rupture (partially). Our results indicate that SrR treatment can partially but significantly prevent some bone structural mechanical properties as previously affected by diabetes, but not others (which may even be worsened).

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) causes progressive atrophic rhinitis with severe turbinate bone degradation in pigs. It has been reported that the toxin deamidates and activates heterotrimeric G proteins, resulting in increased differentiation of osteoclasts and blockade of osteoblast differentiation. So far, the action of PMT on osteocytes, which is the most abundant cell type in bone tissue, is not known. In MLO-Y4 osteocytes, PMT deamidated heterotrimeric G proteins, resulting in loss of osteocyte dendritic processes, stress fiber formation, cell spreading and activation of RhoC but not of RhoA. Moreover, the toxin caused processing of membrane-bound receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) to release soluble RANKL and enhanced the secretion of osteoclastogenic TNF-α. In a co-culture model of osteocytes and bone marrow cells, PMT-induced osteoclastogenesis was largely increased as compared to the mono-culture model. The enhancement of osteoclastogenesis observed in the co-culture was blocked by sequestering RANKL with osteoprotegerin and by an antibody against TNF-α indicating involvement of release of the osteoclastogenic factors from osteocytes. Data support the crucial role of osteocytes in bone metabolism and osteoclastogenesis and identify osteocytes as important target cells of PMT in progressive atrophic rhinitis.

Abstract
In lamellar bone, a network of highly oriented interconnected osteocytes is organized in concentric layers. Through their cellular processes contained within canaliculi, osteocytes are highly mechanosensitive and locally modulate bone remodeling. We review the recent developments demonstrating the significance of the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network in bone maintenance around implant biomaterials. Drilling during implant site preparation triggers osteocyte apoptosis, the magnitude of which correlates with drilling speed and heat generation, resulting in extensive remodeling and delayed healing. In peri-implant bone, osteocytes physically communicate with implant surfaces via canaliculi and are responsive to mechanical loading, leading to changes in osteocyte numbers and morphology. Certain implant design features allow peri-implant osteocytes to retain a less aged phenotype, despite highly advanced extracellular matrix maturation. Physicochemical properties of anodically oxidized surfaces stimulate bone formation and remodeling by regulating the expression of RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand), RANK, and OPG (osteoprotegerin) from implant-adherent cells. Modulation of certain osteocyte-related molecular signaling mechanisms (e.g., sclerostin blockade) may enhance the biomechanical anchorage of implants. Evaluation of the peri-implant osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network should therefore be a necessary component in future investigations of osseointegration to more completely characterize the biological response to materials for load-bearing applications in dentistry and orthopedics.

Abstract
Mice overexpressing high molecular weight FGF2 isoforms (HMWTg) in osteoblast lineage phenocopy human X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and a Hyp murine model of XLH demonstrating increased FGF23/FGF receptor signaling and hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia. Because HMWFGF2 was upregulated in bones of Hyp mice and abnormal FGF23 signaling is important in XLH, HMWTg mice were used to examine the effect of the FGF23 neutralizing antibody (FGF23Ab). Eight-week-old female Vector control mice and HMWTg mice were treated with FGF23Ab or control IgG. A single injection of FGF23Ab rescued abnormal hypophosphatemia in HMWTg. The decreased type II sodium-dependent phosphate co-transporter (Npt2a) was rescued by FGF23Ab treatment. Inappropriately low serum 1,25(OH)2 D in HMWTg mice was normalized by FGF23Ab treatment, which is accompanied by increased anabolic vitamin D hydroxylase Cyp27b1 and decreased catabolic vitamin D hydroxylase Cyp24 mRNA in kidney. Long-term treatment with FGF23Ab normalized femur length and significantly increased vertebrae BMD and BMC, and femur BMC in HMWTg mice compared to IgG-treated HMWTg mice. Micro-computed tomography (μCT) revealed increased cortical porosity and decreased cortical apparent density in the HMWTg-IgG group compared with the Vector-IgG group; however, FGF23Ab treatment rescued defective cortical mineralization, decreased porosity, and increased apparent density in HMWTg mice. Bone histomorphometry analysis showed FGF23Ab treatment decreased osteoid volume, increased intra-label thickness, mineralization apposition rate, and bone formation rate in HMWTg mice. FGF23Ab improved disorganized double labeling in femurs from HMWTg mice. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of tibia shafts showed FGF23Ab treatment normalized the osteocalcin (Ocn) mRNA expression in HMWTg mice, but further increased expression of SIBLING protein-related and pyrophosphate-related genes that are important in matrix mineralization, suggesting that HMWFGF2 modulates these genes independent of FGF23. We conclude that FGF23Ab partially rescued hypophosphatemic osteomalacia in HMWTg. However, long-term treatment with FGF23Ab further increased SIBLING protein-related genes and pyrophosphate-related genes in bone that could contribute to incomplete rescue of the mineralization defect. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid treatment, a major cause of drug-induced osteoporosis and fractures, is widely used to treat inflammatory conditions and diseases. By contrast, mechanical loading increases bone mass and decreases fracture risk. With these relationships in mind, we investigated whether mechanical loading interacts with GC treatment in bone. Three-month-old female C57BL/6 mice were treated with high-dose prednisolone (15 mg/60 day pellets/mouse) or vehicle for two weeks. During the treatment, right tibiae were subjected to short periods of cyclic compressive loading three times weekly, while left tibiae were used as physiologically loaded controls. The bones were analyzed using peripheral quantitative computed tomography, histomorphometry, real-time PCR, three-point bending and Fourier transform infrared micro-spectroscopy. Loading alone increased trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), cortical thickness, cortical area, osteoblast-associated gene expression, osteocyte- and osteoclast number, and bone strength. Prednisolone alone decreased cortical area and thickness and osteoblast-associated gene expression. Importantly, prednisolone treatment decreased the load-induced increase in trabecular vBMD by 57% (p < 0.001) and expression of osteoblast-associated genes, while completely abolishing the load-induced increase in cortical area, cortical thickness, number of osteocytes and osteoclasts, and bone strength. When combined, loading and prednisolone decreased the collagen content. In conclusion, high-dose prednisolone treatment strongly inhibits the loading-induced increase in trabecular BMD, and abolishes the loading-induced increase in cortical bone mass. This phenomenon could be due to prednisolone inhibition of osteoblast differentiation and function.

Abstract
The osteocyte network inside the bone matrix is of functional importance and osteocyte cell death is a characteristic feature of pathological bone diseases. Osteocytes have emerged as key regulators of bone tissue maintenance, yet maintaining their phenotype during in vitro culture remains challenging. A 3D co-culture system for osteocytes with osteoblasts was recently presented, enabling the determination of more physiological effects of growth factors on cells in vitro. MLO-Y4 cells were embedded within a type I collagen gel and cultured in the presence of surface MG-63 cells. Co-culture was performed in the presence or absence of TGFβ₃. Gene expression by quantitative PCR, protein expression by fluorescent immunohistochemistry and cell viability tests were performed. The 3D co-culture induced cell differentiation of MG-63 cells seen by increased type I collagen and osteocalcin mRNA expression. TGFβ₃ maintained osteocyte differentiation of MLO-Y4 cells during co-culture as determined by stable E11 and osteocalcin mRNA expression till day 4. Interestingly, most of the effects of TGFβ₃ on co-cultured cells were serum-dependent. Also, TGFβ₃ reduced cell death of 3D co-cultured MLO-Y4 cells in a serum-dependent manner. This study shows that 3D co-culture upregulates differentiation of MG-63 cells to a more mature osteoblast-like phenotype; while the addition of TGFβ₃ maintained the characteristic MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like phenotype and viability in a serum-dependent manner.

Abstract
The type I transmembrane protein αKlotho (Klotho) serves as a coreceptor for the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in kidney, while a truncated form of Klotho (soluble Klotho, sKL) is thought to exhibit multiple activities, including acting as a hormone, but whose mode(s) of action in different organ systems remains to be fully elucidated. FGF23 is expressed primarily in osteoblasts/osteocytes and aberrantly high levels in the circulation acting via signaling through an FGF receptor (FGFR)-Klotho coreceptor complex cause renal phosphate wasting and osteomalacia. We assessed the effects of exogenously added sKL on osteoblasts and bone using Klotho-deficient (kl/kl) mice and cell and organ cultures. sKL induced FGF23 signaling in bone and exacerbated the hypomineralization without exacerbating the hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia and hypervitaminosis D in kl/kl mice. The same effects were seen in rodent bone models in vitro, in which we also detected formation of a sKL complex with FGF23-FGFR and decreased Phex (gene responsible for X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH)/osteomalacia) expression. Further, sKL-FGF23-dependent hypomineralization in vitro was rescued by soluble PHEX. These data suggest that exogenously added sKL directly participates in FGF23 signaling in bone and that PHEX is a downstream effector of the sKL-FGF23-FGFR axis in bone.
