Abstract
Purpose Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common and debilitating chronic disease, but it has just no cure options. The objective of this study was to identify genes associated with osteoporosis and reveal potential therapeutic targets. Methods Expression profiles from GSE13850 and GSE56815 datasets were combined for differential expression analysis. Extraction of intersecting genes from the combined datasets and the differentially expressed genes in GSE56814 were performed to construct a multi-scale embedded gene co-expression network analysis (MEGENA) to obtain module genes. Module genes with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) >0.60 were chosen to construct the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model to obtain feature genes. A regulated network was constructed using differentially expressed micro-RNAs (miRNAs) in GSE74209 and feature genes. Finally, key genetic pathways and pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were identified and explored. Results The commonly identified differentially expressed genes involve oxidative phosphorylation and caffeine metabolism. We identified 66 modules with 2354 module genes based on MEGENA. CARD8, FOXO4, IL1R2, MPHOSPH6, MPRIP, MYOM1, PRR5L and YIPF4 were identified as feature genes by the LASSO model. Furthermore, predicted miRNA target genes included 8 genes associated with PMOP. The largest AUC was observed for FOXO4, which was found at the nexus of feature genes and miRNA-regulated genes and which correlated with the upregulation of dendritic cells. Moreover, FOXO4 was found to be involved in ABC transporters, as well as cocaine and nicotine addiction. Conclusion FOXO4 may serve as potential biomarker and therapeutic target for PMOP.

Abstract
Throughout the world, millions of people suffer from fragilizing osteopathies such as osteomalacia and osteoporosis.Osteomalacia is a rare disorder, corresponding to mineralization abnormalities in adult bone, as opposed to rickets in children. Renal phosphate loss and hypophosphatasia are the main causes of vitamin-resistant osteomalacia. Diagnosis is based on clinical history, phosphocalcic metabolism assessment and, if necessary, molecular characterization, and must be rapid in order to initiate the most appropriate treatment and consider new treatments such as burosumab if necessary.Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass and strength, which increases the risk of fragility fracture. Fracture-related burden is expected to increase over the coming decades linked to the aging of population and a treatment gap. In order to reduce this treatment gap, it is important to develop two strategies: improvement of screening and of treatment. Systematic screening using the FRAX® fracture risk assessment tool could be useful to increase anti-osteoporosis medical treatment and reduce fracture rates. The question of treatment sequencing in osteoporosis is another challenge, notably after denosumab cessation, complicated by a decrease in bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture. New treatments are also available, including romosozumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody which promotes bone formation and inhibits bone resorption by inhibiting sclerostin. Romosozumab is approved in several countries, including France, for treating severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture and free of cardiovascular comorbidity.Endocrinologists need to be aware of these fragilizing osteopathies in order to improve both diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Histological analysis of bone tissue has been used to explore a variety of questions relating to age-at-death, habitual behaviors, health, and nutritional stress. Identification of intact and fragmentary osteons is of key interest to many researchers in these studies, yet the definitions of these features vary between researchers making cross-study comparisons problematic. Furthermore, histological variable definitions are often ambiguous or require subjective classifications by the observer. As a result, and as indicated by previous studies, observer error and misclassification of certain variables, namely intact and fragmentary osteons, can be significant. This study proposes new definitions for intact and fragmentary osteons that are designed to limit observer subjectivity and also explore efficacy of combining osteon types into one variable. A sample of 30 6th rib cross-sections from a modern forensic population was used to test the validity of the proposed definitions. Observations of intact osteon population density (OPD(I)) and fragmentary osteon population density (OPD(F)) were made by three observers for each cross-section. These observations were used to explore the interobserver error associated with the proposed definitions and determine if combining variables into one variable (OPD) mitigates persisting classification difficulties. Results indicate that the proposed definitions significantly reduce interobserver error and misclassification of intact and fragmentary osteons. However, the interobserver error associated with fragmentary osteons is still high. Evaluation of the variables independently indicates that combining variables has potential to reduce the predictive strength of an age estimation model and the ability to interpret age-related bone remodeling.

Abstract
Models of bone remodelling could be useful in drug discovery, particularly if the model is one that replicates bone regeneration with reduction in osteoclast activity. Here we use nanovibrational stimulation to achieve this in a 3D co-culture of primary human osteoprogenitor and osteoclast progenitor cells. We show that 1000 Hz frequency, 40 nm amplitude vibration reduces osteoclast formation and activity in human mononuclear CD14+ blood cells. Additionally, this nanoscale vibration both enhances osteogenesis and reduces osteoclastogenesis in a co-culture of primary human bone marrow stromal cells and bone marrow hematopoietic cells. Further, we use metabolomics to identify Akt (protein kinase C) as a potential mediator. Akt is known to be involved in bone differentiation via transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and it has been implicated in reduced osteoclast activity via Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit α13 (Gα13). With further validation, our nanovibrational bioreactor could be used to help provide humanised 3D models for drug screening.

Abstract
Drug research with animal models is expensive, time-consuming and translation to clinical trials is often poor, resulting in a desire to replace, reduce, and refine the use of animal models. One approach to replace and reduce the use of animal models is to use in vitro cell-culture models. To study bone physiology, bone diseases and drugs, many studies have been published using osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures. The use of osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures is usually not clearly mentioned in the title and abstract, making it difficult to identify these studies without a systematic search and thorough review. As a result, researchers are all developing their own methods, leading to conceptually similar studies with many methodological differences and, as a consequence, incomparable results. The aim of this study was to systematically review existing osteoblast-osteoclast co-culture studies published up to 6 January 2020, and to give an overview of their methods, predetermined outcome measures (formation and resorption, and ALP and TRAP quantification as surrogate markers for formation and resorption, respectively), and other useful parameters for analysis. Information regarding these outcome measures was extracted and collected in a database, and each study was further evaluated on whether both the osteoblasts and osteoclasts were analyzed using relevant outcome measures. From these studies, additional details on methods, cells and culture conditions were extracted into a second database to allow searching on more characteristics. The two databases presented in this publication provide an unprecedented amount of information on cells, culture conditions and analytical techniques for using and studying osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures. They allow researchers to identify publications relevant to their specific needs and allow easy validation and comparison with existing literature. Finally, we provide the information and tools necessary for others to use, manipulate and expand the databases for their needs.

Abstract
Endometriosis, characterized by macroscopic lesions in the ovaries, is a serious problem for women who desire conception. Damage to the ovarian cortex is inevitable when lesions are removed via surgery, which finally decreases the ovarian reserve, thereby accelerating the transition to the menopausal state. Soon after cessation of ovarian function, in addition to climacteric symptoms, dyslipidemia and osteopenia are known to occur in women aged >50 years. Epidemiologically, there are sex-related differences in the frequencies of dyslipidemia, hypertension, and osteoporosis. Females are more susceptible to these diseases, prevention of which is important for healthy life expectancy. Dyslipidemia and hypertension are associated with the progression of arteriosclerosis, and arteriosclerotic changes in the large and middle blood vessels are one of the main causes of myocardial and cerebral infarctions. Osteoporosis is associated with aberrant fractures in the spine and hip, which may confine the patients to the bed for long durations. Bone resorption is accelerated by activated osteoclasts, and rapid bone remodeling reduces bone mineral density. Resveratrol, a plant-derived molecule that promotes the function and expression of the sirtuin, SIRT1, has been attracting attention, and many reports have shown that resveratrol might exert cardiovascular protective effects. Preclinical reports also indicate that it can prevent bone loss and endometriosis. In this review, I have described the possible protective effects of resveratrol against arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and endometriosis because of its wide-ranging functions, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress functions. As ovarian function inevitably declines after 40 years, intake of resveratrol can be beneficial for women with endometriosis aged <40 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a knowledge gap about how equine MFC subchondral radiolucencies (SR) arise and evolve. Osteoclasts are believed to have a role but have not been studied in situ. OBJECTIVES To measure and compare osteoclast density and the percentage of chondroclasts in healthy and MFC SR specimens from juvenile Thoroughbreds. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric study. METHODS Medial femoral condyles (MFC) from a tissue bank of equine stifles were studied. Inclusion criteria were MFCs (≤8 months old) with a computed tomography SR lesion and histological focal failure of endochondral ossification (L group). Contralateral, lesion-free, MFCs were a control group (CC). Osteochondral slabs were cut through the lesion (L), a healthy site immediately caudal to the lesion, (internal control; IC) and the contralateral, site-matched controls (CC). Histological sections were immunostained with Cathepsin K for osteoclast counting. Osteoclasts in contact with the growth cartilage (chondroclasts) were also counted. The sections were segmented into regions of interest (ROI) at different depths in the subchondral bone: ROI1 (0-1 mm), ROI2 (1-3 mm) and ROI3 (3-6 mm). Osteoclasts were counted and the bone area was measured in each ROI to calculate their density. Chondroclasts were counted in ROI1 . RESULTS Sections were studied from L and IC (n = 6) and CC sites (n = 5). Osteoclast density was significantly higher in ROI1 when compared with ROI3 in all groups. Although higher osteoclast density was measured in ROI1 in the L group, no significant differences were detected when compared with control ROIs. The proportion of chondroclasts in ROI1 was lower in the L sections when compared with controls but no significant differences were detected. MAIN LIMITATIONS Limited sample size. CONCLUSIONS Osteoclasts are important actors in MFC subchondral bone development, digesting both growth cartilage (chondroclasts) and bone, but the pathophysiology of early MFC SRs cannot be explained solely by an increased osteoclast presence in the subchondral bone.

Abstract
Luteolin, an abundant flavonoid in the leaves of Capsicum annuum, has antioxidant activity and is, thus, a key chemical for promoting plant residue utilization, especially for the development of healthcare products. We assessed the inhibitory effect of luteolin and its glycosides on osteoclastic differentiation in human cells and found that the differentiation was effectively inhibited at noncytotoxic concentrations. We also screened 47 varieties of C. annuum for the accumulation of luteolin and apigenin to determine the prevalence of luteolin in diverse cultivars and identify varieties with high and/or selective luteolin production. The glycosides of luteolin and apigenin were found in all the tested varieties, with luteolin predominant over apigenin in most varieties. The identification and characterization of highly productive varieties of C. annuum is expected to be beneficial for the effective development of useful luteolin-based products from plant residues.

Abstract
In this work we propose a bone metastasis model using power law growth functions in order to describe the biochemical interactions between bone cells and cancer cells. Experimental studies indicate that bone remodeling cycles are different for human life stages: childhood, young adulthood, and adulthood. In order to include such differences in our study, we estimate the model parameter values for each human life stage via bifurcation analysis. Results reveal an intrinsic relationship between the active period of remodeling cycles and the proliferation of cancer cells. Subsequently, using optimal control theory we analyze a possible antigen receptor therapy as a new treatment for bone metastasis. Theoretical results such as existence of optimal solutions are proved. Numerical simulations for late stages of bone metastasis are presented and a discussion of our results is carried out.

Abstract
Simulated bone adaptation is framed as an interface evolution problem. The interface is extracted from a high-resolution computed tomography (CT) image of trabecular bone microarchitecture and modified by the level set equation. A model and its parameters determine the bone adaptation rate and thus the bone structure at any future time. This study develops an inverse problem and solver to identify model parameters from multiple high-resolution CT images of bone within the level set framework. We demonstrate the technique on a model of advection and mean curvature flow, termed curvature-driven adaptation. The inverse solver uses two CT scans to estimate model parameters, which map the bone surface from one image to the next. The solver was tested with synthetic images of bone changing according to the curvature-driven model with known model parameters. The algorithm recovered known model parameters excellently (R2 > .99, p < .001). A grid search indicated that the estimated model parameters were insensitive to hyper-parameter selection for learning rate 1e-5≤η≤ 5e-5 and gradient scaling factor 5e-5≤γ≤ 5e-4 . Finally, we tested the algorithm's sensitivity to salt-and-pepper noise of probability P , where .0 ≤P≤ .9. Model parameter accuracy did not change for P < .7, corresponding to Dice coefficients greater than .7. The inverse problem estimates bone adaptation parameters from multiple CT images of changing bone microarchitecture. In the future, this technique could be used to determine participant-specific bone adaptation parameters in vivo, validate bone adaptation models, and predict bone health.

Abstract
The otic capsule consists of dense highly mineralized compact bone. Inner ear osteoprotegerin (OPG) effectively inhibits perilabyrinthine remodeling and otic capsular bone turnover is very low compared to other bone. Consequently, degenerative changes like dead osteocytes and microcracks accumulate around the inner ear. Osteocytes are connected via canaliculi and need a certain connectivity to sustain life. Consequently, stochastic osteocyte apoptosis may disrupt the osteocytic network in unsustainable patterns leading to widespread cell death. When studying bulk-stained undecalcified human temporal bone, large clusters of dead osteocytes have been observed. Such "cellular voids" may disrupt the perilabyrinthine OPG mediated remodeling inhibition possibly leading to local remodeling. In the common ear disease otosclerosis pathological bone remodeling foci are found exclusively in the otic capsule. We believe the pathogenesis of otosclerosis is linked to the unique bony dynamics of perilabyrinthine bone and cellular voids may represent a starting point for otosclerotic remodeling. This study aims to identify and characterize cellular voids of the human otic capsule. This would allow future cellular void quantification and comparison of void and otosclerotic distribution to further elucidate the yet unknown pathogenesis of otosclerosis.

Bone is constantly being renewed: in the adult skeleton, bone resorption and formation are in a tightly coupled balance, allowing for a constant bone density to be maintained. Yet this micro-environment provides the necessary conditions for the growth and proliferation of tumor cells, and thus bone is a common site for the development of metastases, mainly from primary breast and prostate cancer. Mathematical and computational models with differential equations can replicate this bone remodeling process. These models have been extended to include the effects of disruptive tumor pathologies in the bone dynamics, as metastases contribute to the decoupling between bone resorption and formation and to the self-perpetuating tumor growth cycle. Such models may also contemplate the counteraction effects of currently used therapies, and, in the case of treatments with drugs, their pharmocokinetics and pharmacodynamics. We present a thorough overview of biochemical models for bone remodeling, in the presence of a tumour together with anti-cancer and anti-resorptive therapy, formulated as systems of first-order differential equations, or simplified using variable order derivatives. The latter models, of which some are new to this paper, result in equations with fewer parameters, and allow accounting for anomalous diffusion processes. In this way, more compact and parsimonious models, that promptly highlight tumorous bone interactions, are achieved, providing an effective framework to counteract the loss of bone integrity on the affected areas.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are the only cells that can give rise to bones in vertebrates. Thus, one of the most important functions of these metabolically active cells is mineralized matrix production. Because osteoblasts have a limited lifespan, they must be constantly replenished by preosteoblasts, their immediate precursors. Because disruption of the regulation of bone-forming osteoblasts results in a variety of bone diseases, a better understanding of the origin of these cells by defining the mechanisms of bone development, remodeling, and regeneration is central to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. In recent years, substantial new insights into the origin of osteoblasts-largely owing to rapid technological advances in murine lineage-tracing approaches and other single-cell technologies-have been obtained. Collectively, these findings indicate that osteoblasts involved in bone formation under various physiological, pathological, and therapeutic conditions can be obtained from numerous sources. The origins of osteoblasts include, but are not limited to, chondrocytes in the growth plate, stromal cells in the bone marrow, quiescent bone-lining cells on the bone surface, and specialized fibroblasts in the craniofacial structures, such as sutures and periodontal ligaments. Because osteoblasts can be generated from local cellular sources, bones can flexibly respond to regenerative and anabolic cues. However, whether osteoblasts derived from different cellular sources have distinct functions remains to be investigated. Currently, we are at the initial stage to aptly unravel the incredible diversity of the origins of bone-forming osteoblasts. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Stromal progenitors are found in many different tissues, where they play an important role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis owing to their ability to differentiate into parenchymal cells. These progenitor cells are differentially pre-programmed by their tissue microenvironment but, when cultured and stimulated in vitro, these cells - commonly referred to as mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) - exhibit a marked plasticity to differentiate into many different cell lineages. Loss-of-function studies in vitro and in vivo have uncovered the involvement of specific signalling pathways and key transcriptional regulators that work in a sequential and coordinated fashion to activate lineage-selective gene programmes. Recent advances in omics and single-cell technologies have made it possible to obtain system-wide insights into the gene regulatory networks that drive lineage determination and cell differentiation. These insights have important implications for the understanding of cell differentiation, the contribution of stromal cells to human disease and for the development of cell-based therapeutic applications.

Abstract
It is thought that maintaining preosteoblast viability is constructive to fracture healing. Here, we explored the effects of eupatilin on preosteoblast and addressed the mechanism associated with hsa_circ_0045714. Blood specimens were collected from 32 patients with hand fracture or calcaneus fracture. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with eupatilin. Small interfering-RNA was transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells. The ability of MC3T3-E1 cells to survive, proliferate, migrate, and express fracture-associated proteins was examined by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di- phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT), 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), 24-Transwell, Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot. Hsa_circ_0045714 was detected by qRT-PCR. NF-κB and PI3K/AKT were evaluated by Western blot. Eupatilin enhanced the survival, proliferation, and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells. Cyclin D1, cyclin E, collagen II, aggrecan, and sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) were upregulated, while MMP-13 was downregulated in eupatilin-treated cells. Hsa_circ_0045714 was increased in patients with hand and calcaneus fractures with the time-lapse of surgical operation. In eupatilin-treated cells, Hsa_circ_0045714 was also elevated. However, the beneficial effects of eupatilin were weakened in hsa_circ_0045714-deficient cells. Molecularly, eupatilin-induced blockage of NF-κB and activation of PI3K/AKT were abrogated in hsa_circ_0045714-silenced cells. Our results confirmed the beneficial effects of eupatilin in preosteoblast, indicating eupatilin was a promising candidate for fracture healing.

Abstract
Skeletal integrity is maintained by a meticulous balance between bone resorption and bone formation, and recent studies have revealed the essential role of canonical Wnt signaling pathways in maintaining skeletal homeostasis. The SOST gene, which encodes sclerostin, a member of Dan family glycoproteins, was originally identified as the gene responsible for two sclerosing bone dysplasias, sclerosteosis and van Buchem disease. Sclerostin is highly expressed by osteocytes, negatively regulates canonical Wnt signaling pathways by binding to low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) 5/6, and suppresses osteoblast differentiation and/or function. Romosozumab, a specific anti-sclerostin antibody, inhibits sclerostin-LRP5/6 interactions and indirectly activates canonical Wnt signaling pathways and bone formation. This review focuses on the mechanism of action of sclerostin and summarizes clinical studies that demonstrated the efficacy of romosozumab to increase bone mineral density and reduce osteoporotic fractures, as well as its cardiovascular safety.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis affects a large number of women worldwide. Reduced estrogen levels during menopause lead to accelerated bone remodeling, resulting in low bone mass and increased fracture risk. Both peak bone mass and the rate of bone loss are important predictors of postmenopausal osteoporosis risk. However, whether peak bone mass and/or bone microstructure directly influence the rate of bone loss following menopause remains unclear. Our study aimed to establish the relationship between peak bone mass/microstructure and the rate of bone loss in response to estrogen deficiency following ovariectomy (OVX) surgery in rats of homogeneous background by tracking the skeletal changes using in vivo micro-computed tomography (μCT) and three-dimensional (3D) image registrations. Linear regression analyses demonstrated that the peak bone microstructure, but not peak bone mass, was highly predictive of the rate of OVX-induced bone loss. In particular, the baseline trabecular thickness was found to have the highest correlation with the degree of OVX-induced bone loss and trabecular stiffness reduction. Given the same bone mass, the rats with thicker baseline trabeculae had a lower rate of trabecular microstructure and stiffness deterioration after OVX. Moreover, further evaluation to track the changes within each individual trabecula via our novel individual trabecular dynamics (ITD) analysis suggested that a trabecular network with thicker trabeculae is less likely to disconnect or perforate in response to estrogen deficiency, resulting a lower degree of bone loss. Taken together, these findings indicate that the rate of estrogen-deficiency-induced bone loss could be predicted by peak bone microstructure, most notably the trabecular thickness. Given the same bone mass, a trabecular bone phenotype with thin trabeculae may be a risk factor toward accelerated postmenopausal bone loss.

Abstract
Age-related osteoporosis is caused by a deficit in osteoblasts, the cells that secrete bone matrix. The number of osteoblast progenitors also declines with age associated with increased markers of cell senescence. The forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors attenuate Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the proliferation of osteoprogenitors, thereby decreasing bone formation. The NAD+-dependent Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) deacetylates FoxOs and β-catenin in osteoblast progenitors and, thereby, increases bone mass. However, it remains unknown whether the Sirt1/FoxO/β-catenin pathway is dysregulated with age in osteoblast progenitors. We found decreased levels of NAD+ in osteoblast progenitor cultures from old mice, associated with increased acetylation of FoxO1 and markers of cell senescence. The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) abrogated FoxO1 and β-catenin acetylation and several marker of cellular senescence, and increased the osteoblastogenic capacity of cells from old mice. Consistent with these effects, NR administration to C57BL/6 mice counteracted the loss of bone mass with aging. Attenuation of NAD+ levels in osteoprogenitor cultures from young mice inhibited osteoblastogenesis in a FoxO-dependent manner. In addition, mice with decreased NAD+ in cells of the osteoblast lineage lost bone mass at a young age. Together, these findings suggest that the decrease in bone formation with old age is due, at least in part, to a decrease in NAD+ and dysregulated Sirt1/FoxO/β-catenin pathway in osteoblast progenitors. NAD+ repletion, therefore, represents a rational therapeutic approach to skeletal involution.

Abstract
Alveolar bone is a unique osseous tissue due to the proximity of dental plaque biofilms. Periodontal health and homeostasis are mediated by a balanced host immune response to these polymicrobial biofilms. Dysbiotic shifts within dental plaque biofilms can drive a proinflammatory immune response state in the periodontal epithelial and gingival connective tissues, which leads to paracrine signaling to subjacent bone cells. Sustained chronic periodontal inflammation disrupts "coupled" osteoclast-osteoblast actions, which ultimately result in alveolar bone destruction. This chapter will provide an overview of alveolar bone physiology and will highlight why the oral microbiota is a critical regulator of alveolar bone remodeling. The ecology of dental plaque biofilms will be discussed in the context that periodontitis is a polymicrobial disruption of host homeostasis. The pathogenesis of periodontal bone loss will be explained from both a historical and current perspective, providing the opportunity to revisit the role of fibrosis in alveolar bone destruction. Periodontal immune cell interactions with bone cells will be reviewed based on our current understanding of osteoimmunological mechanisms influencing alveolar bone remodeling. Lastly, probiotic and prebiotic interventions in the oral microbiota will be evaluated as potential noninvasive therapies to support alveolar bone homeostasis and prevent periodontal bone loss.

Abstract
Drugs that inhibit bone resorption are prescribed most often by orthopedists, hematologists, or oncologists. Dental practice rarely draws attention to their importance and the effects they carry. The problem concerns mainly older people owing to oncological problems or postmenopausal consequences, but everyone can be at risk. Carefully conducted interviews and analysis of history and disease should always be performed before any action is taken by patients taking this type of medicine. Further action should consider possible complications and, above all, the risk of their occurrence. In this article, the most important issues related to the treatment of drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) are raised, including medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ); conservative treatment, including the use of laser; and the impact of vitamin D supplementation on the overall treatment, prognosis, and prevention before complication, which is osteonecrosis of the jaw in the course of treatment with bisphosphonates and other drugs predisposing to MRONJ, such as denosumab and angiogenesis inhibitors. The degree of osteonecrosis is also critical, as it is possible to avoid surgical procedures for only conservative methods that sometimes bring good results. Surgical treatment of advanced stages is complicated and carries a high risk of error and complications. MRONJ is a disease that is easy to avoid, but it is difficult to treat and treatment sometimes leads only to a partial remission of the disease, not a complete cure.

Abstract
There are many works dealing with the dynamics of bone remodeling, proposing increasingly complex and complete models. In the recent years, the efforts started to focus on developing models that not only reproduce the temporal evolution, but also include the spatial aspects of this phenomenon. In this work, we propose the spatial extension of an existing model that includes the dynamics of osteocytes. The spatial dependence is modeled in terms of a linear diffusion, as proposed in previous works dealing with related problems. The resulting model is then written in its variational form, and fully discretized using the well-known finite element method and a combination of the implicit and explicit Euler schemes. The numerical algorithm is then analyzed, proving some a priori error estimates and its linear convergence. Finally, we extend the examples already published for the temporal model to one and two dimensions, showing the dynamics of the solution in the spatial domain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial membrane-derived factors are implicated in arthritis-related bone changes. The route that synovial factors use to access subchondral bone and the mechanisms responsible for these bone changes remain unclear. A safety study involving intra-articular injection of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)/calcium phosphate matrix (CPM) or CPM addresses these issues. METHODS Knee joints in 21 monkeys were injected with CPM or 1.5 or 4.5 mg/mL BMP-2/CPM and were evaluated at 1 and 8 weeks. Contralateral joints were injected with saline solution. Knee joints in 4 animals each were injected with 1.5 or 4.5 mg/mL BMP-2/CPM. Contralateral joints were injected with corresponding treatments at 8 weeks. Both joints were evaluated at 16 weeks. Harvested joints were evaluated grossly and with histomorphometry. Knee joints in 3 animals were injected with 125I-labeled BMP-2/CPM and evaluated with scintigraphy and autoradiography at 2 weeks to determine BMP-2 distribution. RESULTS All treatments induced transient synovitis and increased capsular vascularization, observed to anastomose with metaphyseal venous sinusoids, but did not damage articular cartilage. Both treatments induced unanticipated activation of vascular-associated trabecular bone remodeling compartments (BRCs) restricted to injected knees. Bone volume increased in BMP-2/CPM-injected knees at 8 and 16 weeks. Scintigraphy demonstrated metaphyseal 125I-labeled BMP-2 localization restricted to injected knees, confirming local rather than systemic BMP-2 release. Autoradiography demonstrated that BMP-2 diffusion through articular cartilage into the metaphysis was blocked by the tidemark. The lack of marrow activation or de novo bone formation, previously reported following metaphyseal BMP-2/CPM administration, confirmed BMP-2 and synovial-derived factors were not free in the marrow. The 125I-labeled BMP-2/CPM, observed within venous sinusoids of injected knees, confirmed the potential for capsular and metaphyseal venous portal communication. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies a synovitis-induced venous portal circulation between the joint capsule and the metaphysis as an alternative to systemic circulation and local diffusion for synovial membrane-derived factors to reach subchondral bone. This study also identifies vascular-associated BRCs as a mechanism for arthritis-associated subchondral bone changes and provides additional support for their role in physiological trabecular bone remodeling and/or modeling. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Inhibition of synovitis and accompanying abnormal vascularization may limit bone changes associated with arthritis.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation, the process by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal (a.k.a. skeletal stem) cells and osteoprogenitors form osteoblasts, is a critical event for bone formation during development, fracture repair, and tissue maintenance. Extra cellular and intracellular signaling pathways triggering osteogenic differentiation are relatively well known; however, the ensuing change in cell energy metabolism is less clearly defined. We and others have previously reported activation of mitochondria during osteogenic differentiation. To further elucidate the involved bioenergetic mechanisms and triggers, we tested the effect of osteogenic media containing ascorbate and β-glycerol phosphate, or various osteogenic hormones and growth factors on energy metabolism in long bone (ST2)- and calvarial bone (MC3T3-E1)-derived osteoprogenitors. We show that osteogenic media and differentiation factors, Wnt3a and BMP2, stimulate mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) with little effect on glycolysis. The activation of OxPhos occurs acutely, suggesting a metabolic signaling change rather than protein expression change. To this end, we found that the observed mitochondrial activation is Akt dependent. Akt is activated by osteogenic media, Wnt3a, and BMP2, leading to increased phosphorylation of various mitochondrial Akt targets, a phenomenon known to stimulate OxPhos. In sum, our data provide comprehensive analysis of cellular bioenergetics during osteoinduction in cells of two different origins (mesenchyme vs neural crest) and identify Wnt3a and BMP2 as physiological stimulators of mitochondrial respiration through Akt activation.

Abstract
Neurological diseases, particularly in the context of aging, have serious impacts on quality of life and can negatively affect bone health. The brain-bone axis is critically important for skeletal metabolism, sensory innervation, and endocrine cross-talk between these organs. This review discusses current evidence for the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which various neurological disease categories, including autoimmune, developmental, dementia-related, movement, neuromuscular, stroke, trauma, and psychological, impart changes in bone homeostasis and mass, as well as fracture risk. Likewise, how bone may affect neurological function is discussed. Gaining a better understanding of brain-bone interactions, particularly in patients with underlying neurological disorders, may lead to development of novel therapies and discovery of shared risk factors, as well as highlight the need for broad, whole-health clinical approaches toward treatment.

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) in the Epigenetic Regulation of Bone Metabolism and Osteoporosis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228682. [PMID: 33213099 PMCID: PMC7698531 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are complex phospholipidic structures actively released by cells. EVs are recognized as powerful means of intercellular communication since they contain many signaling molecules (including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids). In parallel, changes in epigenetic processes can lead to changes in gene function and finally lead to disease onset and progression. Recent breakthroughs have revealed the complex roles of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)) in epigenetic regulation. Moreover, a substantial body of evidence demonstrates that non-coding RNAs can be shuttled among the cells and tissues via EVs, allowing non-coding RNAs to reach distant cells and exert systemic effects. Resident bone cells, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and endothelial cells, are tightly regulated by non-coding RNAs, and many of them can be exported from the cells to neighboring ones through EVs, triggering pathological conditions. For these reasons, researchers have also started to exploit EVs as a theranostic tool to address osteoporosis. In this review, we summarize some recent findings regarding the EVs’ involvement in the fine regulation of non-coding RNAs in the context of bone metabolism and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Cortical bone porosity is intimately linked with remodeling, is of growing clinical interest, and is increasingly accessible by imaging. Thus, the potential of animal models of osteoporosis (OP) to provide a platform for studying how porosity develops and responds to interventions is tremendous. To date, rabbit models of OP have largely focused on trabecular microarchitecture or bone density; some such as ovariectomy (OVX) have uncertain efficacy and cortical porosity has not been extensively reported. Our primary objective was to characterize tibial cortical porosity in rabbit-based models of OP, including OVX, glucocorticoids (GC), and OVX + GC relative to controls (SHAM). We sought to: (i) test the hypothesis that intracortical remodeling is elevated in these models; (ii) contrast cortical remodeling and porosity in these models with that induced by parathyroid hormone (1-34; PTH); and (iii) contrast trabecular morphology in the proximal tibia across all groups. Evidence that an increase in cortical porosity occurred in all groups was observed, although this was the least robust for GC. Histomorphometric measures supported the hypothesis that remodeling rate was elevated in all groups and also revealed evidence of uncoupling of bone resorption and formation in the GC and OVX + GC groups. For trabecular bone, a pattern of loss was observed for OVX, GC, and OVX + GC groups, whereas the opposite was observed for PTH. Change in trabecular number best explained these patterns. Taken together, the findings indicated rabbit models provide a viable and varied platform for the study of OP and associated changes in cortical remodeling and porosity. Intriguingly, the evidence revealed differing effects on the cortical and trabecular envelopes for the PTH model. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Background: Several analytical models have been developed in the past to analyze the specific role of osteocytes in the process of bone remodeling, which can be considered as the response of bone material to functional requirements. Most of them considered both the number of osteocytes and their spatial distribution in one area of influence, while others suggested in addition to include considerations of the size of the basic multi-cellular unit. Methods: Taking advantage of previous works, the standard model equation is revisited by incorporating two complementary parameters: (a) the possibility of resorption of osteocytes, apoptosis or function inhibition during remodeling process triggered by the transduction phase of osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix and; (b) the interference of influence zones for the same osteocyte. Results: Bone density evolution has been calculated starting with a medical imaging of an implanted femur. It is shown that the management of interference zone and the possibility of resorption or inhibition of osteocytes have a direct impact upon the value of the mechanical stimulus and hence on the recruitment of Bone Multicellular Units (BMUs). From a mathematical point of view, this effect has been considered by modifying mechanical stimulus of the standard model such that it is impacted by a scalar factor ranged in the interval (0.5–1). Conclusion: It is clearly demonstrated that predicted of the added bone mass amount shows that the new model is more active in low density regions where requiring rapid adaptation to the behavior of the implant, and that the standard model takes the lead in the regions with high density.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus, transmitted by mosquitoes, which causes Chikungunya fever with symptoms of fever, rash, headache, and joint pain. In about 30%-40% of cases, the infection leads to polyarthritis and polyarthralgia. Presently, there are no treatment strategies or vaccine for Chikungunya fever. Moreover, the mechanism of CHIKV induced bone pathology is not fully understood. The modulation of host machinery is known to be essential in establishing viral pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate major cellular functions by modulating gene expression. Fascinatingly, recent reports have indicated the role of miRNAs in regulating bone homeostasis and altered expression of miRNAs in bone-related pathological diseases. In this review, we summarize the altered expression of miRNAs during CHIKV pathogenesis and the possible role of miRNAs during bone homeostasis in the context of CHIKV infection. A holistic understanding of the different signaling pathways targeted by miRNAs during bone remodeling and during CHIKV-induced bone pathology may lead to identification of useful biomarkers or therapeutics.

Abstract
Advanced cancers, such as prostate and breast cancers, commonly metastasize to bone. In the bone matrix, dendritic osteocytes form a spatial network allowing communication between osteocytes and the osteoblasts located on the bone surface. This communication network facilitates coordinated bone remodeling. In the presence of a cancerous microenvironment, the topology of this network changes. In those situations, osteocytes often appear to be either overdifferentiated (i.e., there are more dendrites than healthy bone) or underdeveloped (i.e., dendrites do not fully form). In addition to structural changes, histological sections from metastatic breast cancer xenografted mice show that number of osteocytes per unit area is different between healthy bone and cancerous bone. We present a stochastic agent-based model for bone formation incorporating osteoblasts and osteocytes that allows us to probe both network structure and density of osteocytes in bone. Our model both allows for the simulation of our spatial network model and analysis of mean-field equations in the form of integro-partial differential equations. We considered variations of our model to study specific physiological hypotheses related to osteoblast differentiation; for example predicting how changing biological parameters, such as rates of bone secretion, rates of cancer formation, and rates of osteoblast differentiation can allow for qualitatively different network topologies. We then used our model to explore how commonly applied therapies such as bisphosphonates (e.g., zoledronic acid) impact osteocyte network formation.

Abstract
The skeleton is highly vascularized due to the various roles blood vessels play in the homeostasis of bone and marrow. For example, blood vessels provide nutrients, remove metabolic by-products, deliver systemic hormones, and circulate precursor cells to bone and marrow. In addition to these roles, bone blood vessels participate in a variety of other functions. This article provides an overview of the afferent, exchange and efferent vessels in bone and marrow and presents the morphological layout of these blood vessels regarding blood flow dynamics. In addition, this article discusses how bone blood vessels participate in bone development, maintenance, and repair. Further, mechanical loading-induced bone adaptation is presented regarding interstitial fluid flow and pressure, as regulated by the vascular system. The role of the sympathetic nervous system is discussed in relation to blood vessels and bone. Finally, vascular participation in bone accrual with intermittent parathyroid hormone administration, a medication prescribed to combat age-related bone loss, is described and age- and disease-related impairments in blood vessels are discussed in relation to bone and marrow dysfunction. © 2020 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
In this work we study a bone remodeling model for the evolution of the myeloma disease. The biological problem is written as a coupled nonlinear system consisting of parabolic partial differential equations. They are written in terms of the concentrations of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the density of the relative bone and the concentration of the tumor cells. Then, we deal with the numerical analysis of this variational problem, introducing a numerical approximation by using the finite element method and a hybrid combination of both implicit and explicit Euler schemes. We perform some a priori error estimates and show a few numerical simulations to demonstrate the accuracy of the approximation. Finally, we present the comparison with previous works and the behavior of the solution in two-dimensional examples.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease with relatively high morbidity and mortality rates. Great efforts were made to develop nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-targeted therapies against MM disease. However, these treatments influence MM cells as well as normal cells, inevitably causing serious side effects. Further research showed that NF-κB signalling promotes the survival of MM cells by interacting with JNK signalling through growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible beta (GADD45β), the downstream module of NF-κB signalling. The GADD45β-targeted intervention was suggested to be an effective and MM cell-specific treatment. However, the underlying mechanism through which GADD45β promotes the survival of MM cells is usually ignored in the previous models. A mathematical model of MM is built in this paper to investigate how NF-κB signalling acts along with JNK signalling through GADD45β and MKK7 to promote the survival of MM cells. The model cannot only mimic the variations in bone cells, the bone volume and MM cells with time, but it can also examine how the NF-κB pathway acts with the JNK pathway to promote the development of MM cells. In addition, the model also investigates the efficacies of GADD45β- and NF-κB-targeted treatments, suggesting that GADD45β-targeted therapy is more effective but has no apparent side effects. The simulation results match the experimental observations. It is anticipated that this model could be employed as a useful tool to initially investigate and even explore potential therapies involving the NF-κB and JNK pathways in the future.

Assessment of baseline bone turnover marker levels and response to risedronate treatment: Data from a Japanese phase III trial. Bone Rep 2020; 12:100275.

Abstract
Background Risedronate increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces fracture risk, but treatment response may depend on the baseline state of bone turnover. Data regarding the selection of therapeutic drugs or the prediction of therapeutic effects with baseline levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs) as a reference are insufficient. We hypothesized that when the baseline levels of BTMs are higher, baseline BMD might be lower, changes in BMD at 12 months after risedronate treatment might be higher, and the reduction of fracture incidence might be greater. This study aimed to analyze the data of a phase III clinical trial of risedronate from Japan to investigate the relationships between baseline BTM levels and (1) baseline BMD, (2) changes in BMD at 12 months after the start of treatment, and (3) the incidence of new vertebral fractures. Methods This post-hoc analysis included 788 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis whose baseline BTM levels as well as baseline and endpoint BMDs were measured. Relationships between baseline BTM levels and BMD at baseline and 12 months after risedronate treatment and new vertebral fractures were examined. One-way analysis of variance, two-tailed Student's t-test, and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze the data. Results Baseline BMD showed a significant upward trend when baseline BTM levels were lower in the analysis by tertiles. New vertebral fractures tended to occur in patients with prevalent vertebral fractures, but the relationship between new fractures and BTM levels was not statistically significant. Regardless of BTM types, BMD percentage increments (%) and increments (g/cm2) with the 12-month treatment were high when pretreatment BTM levels were high (P < 0.0001), and a >5.0% increase in BMD was observed even if baseline BTM levels were within the normal range. A new vertebral fracture occurred in only six patients (0.77%), and there was not enough statistical power to clarify the relationship between baseline BTM levels and fracture risk reduction. Conclusions When pretreatment BTM levels increased, baseline BMD tended to be lower and the increase in BMD with 12-month risedronate treatment was higher. However, BMD could still be increased even if the baseline BTM levels are within the normal range. Combined with available evidence, baseline BTMs may not have an important role in deciding the optimal therapy. To elucidate the relationship between baseline BTM levels and long-term fracture risk, it will be necessary to conduct more large-scale studies with a longer follow-up period in severe osteoporotic patients with a high fracture risk. Mini abstract We evaluated the significance of baseline bone turnover markers in the response to risedronate treatment. The increase in the bone mineral density (BMD) with the 12-month treatment may be higher when the state of bone turnover at baseline is higher, and BMD could still be increased even if the baseline bone turnover is within the normal range. Baseline bone turnover markers in response to risedronate treatment are unknown. Higher BMD may be achieved when the state of bone turnover at baseline is higher. Further increase in BMD is possible even if the baseline bone turnover is normal.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics have been widely used for bone regeneration because of their ability to induce osteogenesis. Surface properties, including chemical composition and surface structure, are known to play a crucial role in osteoconduction and osteoinduction. This review systematically analyzes the effects of surface properties, in particular the surface structure, of CaP scaffolds on cell behavior and new bone formation. We also summarize the possible signaling pathways involved in the osteogenic differentiation of bone-related cells when cultured on surfaces with various structures in vitro. The significant immune response initiated by surface structure involved in osteogenic differentiation of cells is also discussed in this review. Taken together, the new biological principle for advanced biomaterials is not only to directly stimulate osteogenic differentiation of bone-related cells but also to modulate the immune response in vivo. Although the reaction mechanism responsible for bone formation induced by CaP surface structure is not clear yet, the insights on surface structure-mediated osteogenic differentiation and osteoimmunomodulation could aid the optimization of CaP-based biomaterials for bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: CaP ceramics have similar inorganic composition with natural bone, which have been widely used for bone tissue scaffolds. CaP themselves are not osteoinductive; however, osteoinductive properties could be introduced to CaP materials by surface engineering. This paper systematically summarizes the effects of surface properties, especially surface structure, of CaP scaffolds on bone formation. Additionally, increasing evidence has proved that the bone healing process is not only affected by the osteogenic differentiation of bone-related cells, but also relevant to the the cooperation of immune system. Thus, we further review the possible signaling pathways involved in the osteogenic differentiation and immune response of cells cultured on scaffold surface. These insights into surface structure-mediated osteogenic differentiation and osteoimmunomodulated-based strategy could aid the optimization of CaP-based biomaterials.

[PMID: 32551336 PMCID: PMC7292865 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2020.100260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Microstructures of cortical and cancellous bones are altered continually by load-adaptive remodeling; in addition, their cellular mechanisms are similar despite the remarkably different porosities. The cortico-cancellous transitional zone is a site of vigorous remodeling, and intracortical remodeling cavitates the inner cortex to promote its trabecularization, which is considered the main cause of bone loss because of aging. Therefore, to prevent and treat age-related cortical bone loss effectively, it is indispensable to gain an integrated understanding of the cortical to the cancellous bone transformation via remodeling. We propose a novel theoretical concept to account for the transformation of dense cortical bone to porous cancellous bone. We develop a mathematical model of cortical and cancellous bone remodeling based on the concept that bone porosity is determined by the balance between the load-bearing function of mineralized bone and the material-transporting function of bone marrow. Remodeling simulations using this mathematical model enable the reproduction of the microstructures of cortical and cancellous bones simultaneously. Furthermore, current remodeling simulations have the potential to replicate cortical-to-cancellous bone transformation based on changes in the local balance between bone formation and resorption. We anticipate that the proposed mathematical model of cortical and cancellous bone remodeling will contribute to highlighting the essential features of cortical bone loss due to trabecularization of the cortex and help predict its spatial and temporal behavior during aging. A novel theoretical concept to account for cortical-to-cancellous bone transformation is proposed. A remodeling model to reproduce cortical and cancellous bone microstructures is developed. The remodeling simulation replicates cortical-to-cancellous bone transformation. The proposed method is valuable in clinical applications such as in predicting age-related cortical bone loss.

Abstract
Diagnosis and management of bone and joint infections (BJI) is a challenging task. The high intra and inter patient's variability in terms of clinical presentation makes it impossible to rely on a systematic description or classical statistical analysis for its diagnosis. Advances can be achieved through a better understanding of the system behavior that results from the interactions between the components at a micro-scale level, which is difficult to mastered using traditional methods. Multiple studies from the literature report factors and interactions that affect the dynamics of the BJI system. The objectives of this study were (i) to perform a systematic review to identify relevant interactions between agents (cells, pathogens) and parameters values that characterize agents and interactions, and (ii) to develop a two dimensional computational model of the BJI system based on the results of the systematic review. The model would simulate the behavior resulting from the interactions on the cellular and molecular levels to explore the BJI dynamics, using an agent-based modeling approach. The BJI system's response to different microbial inoculum levels was simulated. The model succeeded in mimicking the dynamics of bacteria, the innate immune cells, and the bone mass during the first stage of infection and for different inoculum levels in a consistent manner. The simulation displayed the destruction in bone tissue as a result of the alteration in bone remodeling process during the infection. The model was used to generate different patterns of system behaviors that could be analyzed in further steps. Simulations results suggested evidence for the existence of latent infections. Finally, we presented a way to analyze and synthesize massive simulated data in a concise and comprehensive manner based on the semi-supervised identification of ordinary differential equations (ODE) systems. It allows to use the known framework for temporal and structural ODE analyses and therefore summarize the whole simulated system dynamical behavior. This first model is intended to be validated by in vivo or in vitro data and expected to generate hypotheses to be challenged by real data. Step by step, it can be modified and complexified based on the test/validation iteration cycles.

Abstract
Bone structure and function are maintained by well-regulated bone metabolism and remodeling. Although the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are now being understood, physiological and pathological states of bone are still difficult to predict due to the complexity of intercellular signaling. We have now developed a novel in silico experimental platform, V-Bone, to integratively explore bone remodeling by linking complex microscopic molecular/cellular interactions to macroscopic tissue/organ adaptations. Mechano-biochemical couplings modeled in V-Bone relate bone adaptation to mechanical loading and reproduce metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteopetrosis. V-Bone also enables in silico perturbation on a specific signaling molecule to observe bone metabolic dynamics over time. We also demonstrate that this platform provides a powerful way to predict in silico therapeutic effects of drugs against metabolic bone diseases. We anticipate that these in silico experiments will substantially accelerate research into bone metabolism and remodeling.

Newly formed and remodeled human bone exhibits differences in the mineralization process. Acta Biomater 2020; 104:221-230.

Abstract
During human skeletal growth, bone is formed via different processes. Two of them are: new bone formation by depositing bone at the periosteal (outer) surface and bone remodeling corresponding to a local renewal of tissue. Since in remodeling formation is preceded by resorption, we hypothesize that modeling and remodeling could require radically different transport paths for ionic precursors of mineralization. While remodeling may recycle locally resorbed mineral, modeling implies the transport over large distances to the site of bone apposition. Therefore, we searched for potential differences of size, arrangement and chemical composition of mineral particles just below surfaces of modeling and remodeling sites in femur midshaft cross-sections from healthy children. These bone sites were mapped using scanning synchrotron X-ray scattering, Raman microspectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and quantitative backscattered electron microscopy. The results show clear differences in mineral particle size and composition between the sites, which cannot be explained by a change in the rate of mineral apposition or accumulation. At periosteal modeling sites, mineral crystals are distinctly larger, display higher crystallinity and exhibit a lower calcium to phosphorus ratio and elevated Na and Mg content. The latter may originate from Mg used for phase stabilization of mineral precursors and therefore indicate different time periods for mineral transport. We conclude that the mineralization process is distinctively different between modeling and remodeling sites due to varying requirements for the transport distance and, therefore, the stability of non-crystalline ionic precursors, resulting in distinct compositions of the deposited mineral phase. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In growing children new bone is formed either due to apposition of bone tissue e.g. at the outer ridge of long bones to allow growth in thickness (bone modeling), or in cavities inside the mineralized matrix when replacing tissue (bone remodeling). We demonstrate that mineral crystal shape and composition are not the same between these two sites, which is indicative of differences in mineralization precursors. We suggest that this may be due to a longer mineral transport distance to sites of new bone formation as compared to remodeling where mineral can be locally recycled.

Abstract
Maltobionic acid is known to have an inhibitory effect on the differentiation of osteoclasts, and it has also been reported in an intervention trial that ingestion of corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid maintained and increased the bone density of postmenopausal women. However, there is no information on whether maltobionic acid improves bone metabolism in humans. Therefore, we evaluated the influence of corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid (maltobionic acid calcium salt) on bone resorption markers in healthy Japanese women. Forty-one individuals were selected from 68 participants and assigned to two groups: 21 individuals in the test food antecedent group and 20 individuals in the placebo food antecedent group; individuals in the first group ingested 4 g of corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid, and subjects in the second group ingested 4 g of placebo (hydrous crystalline maltose and calcium carbonate) for 4 weeks. Bone resorption marker levels (DPD and u-NTx) were evaluated by urinalysis. Forty subjects completed the study, and no adverse events related to the test food were observed. Fourteen subjects were excluded prior to the efficacy analysis because of conflict with the control criteria; the remaining 33 subjects were analyzed. Consumption of corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid was maintained; DPD and u-NTx values were improved (p < .05). These results indicate that corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid might contribute to suppress bone resorption and improve bone metabolism in postmenstrual women.

Abstract
As the population of western societies on average ages, the number of people affected by bone remodeling-associated diseases such as osteoporosis continues to increase. The development of new therapeutics is hampered by the high failure rates of drug candidates during clinical testing, which is in part due to the poor predictive character of animal models during preclinical drug testing. Co-culture models of osteoblasts and osteoclasts offer an alternative to animal testing and are considered to have the potential to improve drug development processes in the future. However, a robust, scalable, and reproducible 3D model combining osteoblasts and osteoclasts for preclinical drug testing purposes has not been developed to date. Here we review various types of osteoblast-osteoclast co-culture models and outline the remaining obstacles that must be overcome for their successful translation.

Abstract
The Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis (ITAP) offers transfemoral amputees an ambulatory method potentially reducing soft tissue complications seen with socket and stump devices. This study validated a finite element (in silico) model based on an ITAP design and investigated implant stem stiffness influence on periprosthetic femoral bone strain. Results showed good agreement in the validation of the in silico model against the in vitro results using uniaxial strain gauges and Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Using Strain Energy Density (SED) thresholds as the stimulus for adaptive bone remodelling, the validated model illustrated that: (a) bone apposition increased and resorption decreased with increasing implant stem flexibility in early stance; (b) bone apposition decreased (mean change = − 9.8%) and resorption increased (mean change = 20.3%) from distal to proximal in most stem stiffness models in early stance. By engineering the flow of force through the implant/bone (e.g. by changing material properties) these results demonstrate how periprosthetic bone remodelling, thus aseptic loosening, can be managed. This paper finds that future implant designs should be optimised for bone strain under a variety of relevant loading conditions using finite element models to maximise the chances of clinical success.

Mathematical modelling of the role of Endo180 network in the development of metastatic bone disease in prostate cancer. Comput Biol Med 2020; 117:103619.

Abstract
Metastatic bone disease (MBD) is a common complication of advanced cancer and recent research suggests that Endo180 expression is dysregulated through the TGFβ-TGFβR-SMAD2/3 signalling pathway during the invasion of tumour cells in the development of MBD. We here provide a model for the dysregulation of the Endo180 network to demonstrate its vital contribution to bone destruction as well as tumour cell growth. The model consisted of a set of ordinary differential equations and reconstructed variations in the bone cells, resultant bone volume, and biochemical factors involved in the TGFβ-TGFβR-SMAD2/3 signalling pathway over time. The model also investigated the underlying mechanism in which the change of TGFβ affects the TGFβ-TGFβR-SMAD2/3 signalling pathway and the resultant Endo180 expression in osteoblastic and tumour cells. The model links the appearance of tumour cells with the inhibition of TGFβ binding to its receptors on osteoblastic cells, to affect TGFβ-TGFβR-SMAD2/3 signalling and Endo180 expression. Temporal variation in bone cells, bone volume, and the biochemical factors involved in the TGFβ-TGFβR-SMAD2/3 pathway as demonstrated in the model simulations agree with published experimental data. The model can be refined based on further discoveries but allows the influence of Endo180 network dysregulation on bone remodelling in MBD to be established. This model could aid in the development of Endo180 targeted therapies for MBD in the future.

Abstract
The interplay between implant design, biomaterial characteristics, and the local microenvironment adjacent to the implant is of utmost importance for implant performance and success of the joint replacement surgery. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are among the various factors affecting the host as well as the implant components. Excessive formation of ROS and RNS can lead to oxidative stress, a condition that is known to damage cells and tissues and also to affect signaling pathways. It may further compromise implant longevity by accelerating implant degradation, primarily through activation of inflammatory cells. In addition, wear products of metallic, ceramic, polyethylene, or bone cement origin may also generate oxidative stress themselves. This review outlines the generation of free radicals and oxidative stress in arthroplasty and provides a conceptual framework on its implications for soft tissue remodeling and bone resorption (osteolysis) as well as implant longevity. Key findings derived from cell culture studies, animal models, and patients' samples are presented. Strategies to control oxidative stress by implant design and antioxidants are explored and areas of controversy and challenges are highlighted. Finally, directions for future research are identified. A better understanding of the host-implant interplay and the role of free radicals and oxidative stress will help to evaluate therapeutic approaches and will ultimately improve implant performance in arthroplasty.

Abstract
Denosumab is a potent osteoclast inhibitor targeted to prevent osteoporotic bone loss and thereby reduce fractures in the aging population. Recently, an elevated risk of rebound fractures following denosumab discontinuation was identified, unless patients were transitioned to an alternative antiresorptive medication. How denosumab affects the interaction of mechanosensitive osteocytes and bone quality remains unknown. We hypothesized that denosumab influences osteocyte function contributing to bone reorganization and increased fractures during discontinuation. Bone quality and osteocytes were assessed in archived iliac crest bone biopsies obtained from patients with high fracture occurrence from 2011 to 2016. Biopsies were obtained due to high fracture occurrence prior and during osteoporosis therapy from (i) patients with at least two semiannual subcutaneous injections of 60 mg denosumab, (ii) patients with rebound fractures during discontinuation, and (iii) patients of a treatment-naive group. In total, biopsies from 43 individuals were analyzed (mean age, 65.5 ± 12.1 years). Our results showed that during denosumab treatment, iliac cortical bone had a higher bone tissue hardness compared to treatment-naive bone (p = 0.0077) and a higher percentage of mineralized osteocyte lacunae (p = 0.0095). The density of empty osteocyte lacunae was higher with denosumab compared to treatment-naive (p = 0.014) and remained high in trabecular bone during discontinuation (p = 0.0071). We conclude that during denosumab treatment, increased bone hardness may contribute to improved fracture resistance. In biopsies from patients with high fracture occurrence, denosumab treatment reduced osteocyte viability, an effect that persisted during treatment discontinuation. High-resolution imaging of osteocyte viability indicates a role for osteocytes as a potential future mechanistic target to understand rebound bone loss and increased fractures with denosumab discontinuation.

Abstract
An in silico model for the estimation of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) changes at a cortical bone site subjected to mechanobiological bone remodeling is proposed in this manuscript. Mechanisms of cell differentiation, receptor-ligand binding, mechanical signaling, and resorption or deposition of bone matrix were considered, therefore providing a comprehensive description of mechanobiological bone remodeling in the bone microenvironment and enabling the analysis of temporal evolution of disease or therapy scenarios. The proposed model is composed by five modules, namely, bone cells populations, mechanobiology, volume fractions and porosity, mineral density, and structural stiffness. The model is an extension of other models found in the literature because equations for the obtaining of cortical vBMD and the binding of parathyroid hormone (PTH) to parathyroid hormone 1 receptor are included. The proposed model showed a satisfactory agreement with the solutions of other in silico models found in the literature. Simulations of walking and running exercise routines were performed for the evaluation of model capability regarding the control of the numerical error and prediction of vBMD. The computational method used to solve the case study controlled the relative numerical error by less than 1 × 10-7 for approximately 1.7 × 106 time steps. The predicted values correlate with the concept of increasing BMD by vigorous physical activity; however, they contrast with the specific effect of physical activities on cortical vBMD.

The generation of enlarged eroded pores upon existing intracortical canals is a major contributor to endocortical trabecularization. Bone 2020; 130:115127.

Abstract
The gradual conversion of cortical bone into trabecular bone on the endocortical surface contributes substantially to thinning of the cortical bone. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the intracortical canals (3D) and pores (2D) in human fibular bone, to identify the intracortical remodeling events leading to this endocortical trabecularization. The analysis was conducted in fibular diaphyseal bone specimens obtained from 20 patients (6 women and 14 men, age range 41-75 years). μCT revealed that endosteal bone had a higher cortical porosity (p< 0.05) and canals with a larger diameter (p< 0.05) than periosteal bone, while the canal spacing and number were similar in the endosteal and periosteal half. Histological analysis showed that the endosteal half versus the periosteal half: (i) had a higher likelihood of being non-quiescent type 2 pores (i.e. remodeling of existing pores) than other pore types (OR = 1.6, p< 0.01); (ii) that the non-quiescent type 2 pores contributed to a higher porosity (p< 0.001); and that (iii) amongst these pores especially eroded type 2 pores contributed to the elevated cortical porosity (p< 0.001). In conclusion, we propose that endocortical trabecularization results from the accumulation of eroded cavities upon existing intracortical canals, favored by delayed initiation of bone formation.

Biomechanical investigation of extragraft bone formation influences on the operated motion segment after anterior cervical spinal discectomy and fusion. Sci Rep 2019; 9:18850. [PMID: 31827110 PMCID: PMC6906501 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-54785-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Although the clinical importance of extragraft bone formation (ExGBF) and bridging (ExGBB) has been reported, few studies have investigated the biomechanical influences of ExGBF on the motion segment. In this study, ExGBF was simulated at the C5-C6 motion segment after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using a developed finite element model and a sequential bone-remodelling algorithm in flexion and extension. The computer simulation results showed that extragraft bone was primarily formed in the extension motion and grew to form ExGBB. A stepwise decrease in the intersegmental rotation angle, maximum von Mises stress and strain energy density on the trabecular bone with ExGBF were predicted in extension. When ExGBB was formed in the trabecular bone region, the intersegmental rotation angle slightly decreased with additional bone formation. However, the stress and strain energy density on the trabecular bone region decreased until ExGBB reached the peripheral cortical margin. The results offer a rationale supporting the hypothesis that mechanical stimuli influence ExGBF. ExGBF was helpful in increasing the stability of the motion segment and decreasing the fracture risk of trabecular bones, even in cases in which ExGBB was not formed. ExGBB can be classified as either soft or hard bridging based on a biomechanical point of view.
