Evaluation of myostatin as a possible regulator and marker of skeletal muscle-cortical bone interaction in adults. J Bone Miner Metab 2021; 39:404-415.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone mass was recently reported to be related to skeletal muscle mass in humans, and a decrease in cortical bone is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Because circulating myostatin is a factor that primarily controls muscle metabolism, this study examined the role of myostatin in bone mass-skeletal muscle mass interactions. METHODS The subjects were 375 middle-aged community residents with no history of osteoporosis or sarcopenia who participated in a health check-up. Cortical bone thickness and cancellous bone density were measured by ultrasonic bone densitometry in a health check-up survey. The subjects were divided into those with low cortical bone thickness (LCT) or low cancellous bone density (LBD) and those with normal values (NCT/NBD). Bone metabolism markers (TRACP-5b, etc.), skeletal muscle mass, serum myostatin levels, and lifestyle were then compared between the groups. RESULTS The percentage of diabetic participants, TRACP-5b, and myostatin levels were significantly higher, and the frequency of physical activity, skeletal muscle mass, grip strength, and leg strength were significantly lower in the LCT group than in the NCT group. The odds ratio (OR) of high myostatin levels in the LCT group compared with the NCT group was significant (OR 2.17) even after adjusting for related factors. Between the low cancellous bone density (LBD) and normal cancellous bone density (NBD) groups, significant differences were observed in the same items as between the LCT and NCT groups, but no significant differences were observed in skeletal muscle mass and blood myostatin levels. The myostatin level was significantly negatively correlated with cortical bone thickness and skeletal muscle mass. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in cortical bone thickness was associated with a decrease in skeletal muscle mass accompanied by an increase in the blood myostatin level. Blood myostatin may regulate the bone-skeletal muscle relationship and serve as a surrogate marker of bone metabolism, potentially linking muscle mass to bone structure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although teriparatide (TPTD) and exercise may improve osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, and fat metabolism during ageing, the effects of treatment with a combination of TPTD and exercise on these factors remain unclear. Therefore, this study examined the effects of TPTD and exercise on bone, skeletal muscle, and fat in ovariectomized and tail-suspended rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven-month-old female Wistar rats were ovariectomized and subjected to tail suspension. The rats were then randomized into one of the following four groups (n = 20/group) after 4 weeks: control group, treated with TPTD vehicle and no exercise; TPTD group (30 µg/kg TPTD, 3 days/week); Exercise group (treadmill at 12 m/min, 60 min/day, 5 days/week); and Combined group treated with TPTD and treadmill exercise. After 1 and 8 weeks of treatment, bone, skeletal muscle, and fat tissue parameters were evaluated. RESULTS TPTD improved bone mineral density (BMD), bone structure, bone strength at the femoral metaphysis, and the percentage of skeletal muscle mass, and decreased the percentage of fat mass and the adipose volume in the bone marrow. Treadmill exercise increased BMD, bone strength of cancellous bone, and the percentage of skeletal muscle mass, and decreased the percentage of fat mass as seen on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Furthermore, combined treatment significantly affected BMD, bone structure, and bone strength of cortical bone at the femoral diaphysis. CONCLUSION TPTD or treadmill exercise improved bone, skeletal muscle, and fat mass. Combination therapy with TPTD and exercise had synergistic effects on BMD, structure, and bone strength in ovariectomized, tail-suspended rats.

Exp Gerontol 2021; 149:111305.

Abstract
The crosstalk between skeletal muscles and other tissues such as bones is typically established via the secretion of myokines and myomiRs induced by exercise training (ET). The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between changes made by different ET modes and intensities in myomiRs, osteomiRs, and other myogenic and osteogenic biomarkers in old male Wistar rats. To this end, a total number of 50 old (23 months of age) male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four experimental groups, namely, moderate-intensity endurance training (MIET), high-intensity endurance training (HIET), moderate-intensity resistance training (MIRT), high-intensity resistance training (HIRT), and control (CON), each one comprised of 10 subjects. The study findings revealed positive correlations between myomiRs (i.e., miR-1) and myomiR-204a (r = 0.725; p = 0.042), myomiR-1, and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) osteogenic marker (r = 0.869; p = 0.025) in the HIET group, myomiR-206 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) (r = 0.908; p = 0.012) in the MIRT group, myomiR-133a and osteomiR-133a (r = 0.971; p = 0.005) in the MIET group, myomiR-133a and osteomiR-204a in the MIRT group (r = 0.971; p = 0.004), and myomiR-133a and RUNX2 gene expression in the HIET group (r = 0.861; p = 0.027). It was concluded that myomiRs involved in myoblast-osteoblast differentiation might not alone regulate the myogenic and osteogenic targets in response to different modes and intensities of ET treatments.

Abstract
Muscle/bone interaction has been recently noted. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a vital role in physiological and pathophysiological processes by transferring microRNA (miRNA) to distant tissues. We previously reported that EVs secreted from C2C12 myoblasts (Myo-EVs) suppress osteoclast differentiation. In the present study, we identified 4 miRNAs in Myo-EVs that suppressed osteoclast-like cell formation in Raw264.7 cells using small RNA sequencing analysis. Among them, miR-196a-5p expression was higher in C2C12 cells compared to mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Transfection of miR-196a-5p mimic suppressed the mRNA levels of osteoclast-related genes and mitochondrial energy metabolism induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in Raw264.7 cells. In contrast, miR-196a-5p mimic enhanced osteoblastic differentiation in ST-2 cells and MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated that miR-196-5p suppresses osteoclast-like cell formation and mitochondrial energy metabolism in mouse cells, suggesting that it might be a crucial factor for muscle/bone interaction via EVs.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a disorder characterized by a loss of muscle mass which leads to the reduction of muscle strength and a decrease in the quality and quantity of muscle. It was previously thought that sarcopenia was specific to ageing. However, sarcopenia may affect patients suffering from chronic diseases throughout their entire lives. A decreased mass of muscle and bone is common among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Since sarcopenia and osteoporosis are closely linked, they should be diagnosed as mutual consequences of IBD. Additionally, multidirectional treatment of sarcopenia and osteoporosis including nutrition, physical activity, and pharmacotherapy should include both disorders, referred to as osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
Skeletal muscles and bone tissue form the musculoskeletal apparatus, a complex system essential for the voluntary movement. The loss of muscle mass and muscle strength is often associated with a loss of bone mass, in a "hazardous duet" which implies the co-existence of sarcopenia-osteoporosis and exposes patients to a deterioration in quality of life and increased mortality. From the mechanostat theory to the recent definition of the osteosarcopenia syndrome, many aspects of muscle-bone interaction have been investigated in recent decades. The mechanical interaction is now accepted, considering the close anatomical relationship between the two tissues, however, much remains to be discovered regarding the biochemical muscle-bone interaction. Skeletal muscle has been defined as an endocrine organ capable of exerting an action on other tissues. Myokines, bioactive polypeptides released by the muscle, could represent the encrypted message in the communication between muscle and bone. These two tissues have a reciprocal influence on their metabolisms and respond in a similar way to the multiple external factors. The aim of this review is to stimulate the understanding of the encrypted language between muscle and bone, highlighting the role of catabolic pathways and oxidative stress in the musculoskeletal apparatus to elucidate the shared mechanisms and the similarity of response to the same stimuli by different tissues. Our understanding of muscle-bone interactions it could be useful to identify and develop new strategies to treat musculoskeletal diseases, together with pharmacological, nutritional and exercise-based approaches, which are already in use for the treatment of these pathologies.

Abstract
Bone and muscle have been recognized as endocrine organs since they produce and secrete “hormone-like factors” that can mutually influence each other and other tissues, giving rise to a “bone–muscle crosstalk”. In our study, we made use of myogenic (C2C12 cells) and osteogenic (2T3 cells) cell lines to investigate the effects of muscle cell-produced factors on the maturation process of osteoblasts. We found that the myogenic medium has inhibitory effects on bone cell differentiation and we identified sclerostin as one of the myokines produced by muscle cells. Sclerostin is a secreted glycoprotein reportedly expressed by bone/cartilage cells and is considered a negative regulator of bone growth due to its role as an antagonist of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Given the inhibitory role of sclerostin in bone, we analyzed its expression by muscle cells and how it affects bone formation and homeostasis. Firstly, we characterized and quantified sclerostin synthesis by a myoblast cell line (C2C12) and by murine primary muscle cells by Western blotting, real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, and ELISA assay. Next, we investigated in vivo production of sclerostin in distinct muscle groups with different metabolic and mechanical loading characteristics. This analysis was done in mice of different ages (6 weeks, 5 and 18 months after birth) and revealed that sclerostin expression is dynamically modulated in a muscle-specific way during the lifespan. Finally, we transiently expressed sclerostin in the hind limb muscles of young mice (2 weeks of age) via in vivo electro-transfer of a plasmid containing the SOST gene in order to investigate the effects of muscle-specific overproduction of the protein. Our data disclosed an inhibitory role of the muscular sclerostin on the bones adjacent to the electroporated muscles. This observation suggests that sclerostin released by skeletal muscle might synergistically interact with osseous sclerostin and potentiate negative regulation of osteogenesis possibly by acting in a paracrine/local fashion. Our data point out a role for muscle as a new source of sclerostin.

Mechanical loading recovers bone but not muscle lost during unloading. NPJ Microgravity 2020; 6:36.

Abstract
Space travel and prolonged bed rest are examples of mechanical unloading that induce significant muscle and bone loss. The compromised structure and function of bone and muscle owing to unloading make the reloading period a high risk for injury. To explore interactions between skeletal bone and muscle during reloading, we hypothesized that acute external mechanical loading of bone in combination with re-ambulation facilitates the proportional recovery of bone and muscle lost during hind limb suspension (HLS) unloading. Adult male C57Bl/6J mice were randomly assigned to a HLS or time-matched ground control (GC) group. After 2-weeks of HLS, separate groups of mice were studied at day 14 (no re-ambulation), day 28 (14 days re-ambulation) and day 56 (42 days re-ambulation); throughout the re-ambulation period, one limb received compressive mechanical loading and the contralateral limb served as an internal control. HLS induced loss of trabecular bone volume (BV/TV; -51 ± 2%) and muscle weight (-15 ± 2%) compared to GC at day 14. At day 28, the left tibia (re-ambulation only) of HLS mice had recovered approximately 20% of BV/TV lost during HLS, while the right tibia (re-ambulation and acute external mechanical loading) recovered to GC values of BV/TV (~100% recovery). At day 56, the right tibia continued to recover bone for some outcomes (trabecular BV/TV, trabecular thickness), while the left limb did not. Cortical bone displayed a delayed response to HLS, with a 10% greater decrease in BV/TV at day 28 compared to day 14. In contrast to bone, acute external mechanical loading during the re-ambulation period did not significantly increase muscle mass or protein synthesis in the gastrocnemius, compared to re-ambulation alone. Our results suggest acute external mechanical loading facilitates the recovery of bone during reloading following HLS unloading, but this does not translate to a concomitant recovery of muscle mass.

Abstract
Swimming is a popular youth sport that is considered beneficial for cardiovascular fitness. However, the potential inflammatory outcomes of high intensity swimming in younger swimmers are unclear, as is the response of irisin, a myokine released during exercise with anti-inflammatory properties. This study compared the plasma concentrations of interleukins 1-beta (IL-1β), 6 (IL-6), 10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and irisin in response to intense swimming between adolescent and adult male swimmers. Thirty-two swimmers (16 adolescents, 14 ± 1 years; 16 adults, 21.5 ± 3.1 years) completed a high intensity interval swimming trial. At rest, only TNF-α was higher (33%, p < 0.05) in adolescents compared with adults. There was an overall significant increase in IL-1β from pre- to post-swimming (3% in adolescents, 24% in adults), but no significant interaction. IL-10 significantly increased in both groups (+34% in adolescents, +56% in adults). IL-6 and TNF-α increased significantly (+32% and +26%, respectively) in adults, but not in adolescents (+2% and -9%, respectively). Adults showed a small, but significant decrease in irisin (-5%), with no change in adolescents. The lack of an IL-6, TNF-α and irisin response to intense swimming in adolescent swimmers may suggest a blunted inflammatory and myokine response following high intensity exercise in trained youth.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Low muscle strength and poor physical performance are associated with high risk of fracture. Many studies assessed clinical and functional outcomes of fractures. Fewer studies analyzed the impact of fractures on muscle strength and physical performance. RECENT FINDINGS Vertebral fractures (especially multiple and severe ones) are associated with back pain, back-related disability, lower grip strength, lower strength of lower limbs, lower gait speed, and poor balance. Patients with hip fracture have slower gait and lower quadriceps strength. Non-vertebral fractures were associated with lower strength of the muscles adjacent to the fracture site (e.g., grip strength in the case of distal radius fracture, knee extensors in the case of patellar fracture) and poor physical function dependent on the muscles adjacent to the fracture site (e.g., limited range of motion of the shoulder in the case of humerus fracture, gait disturbances in the case of the ankle fracture). Individuals with a fracture experience a substantial deterioration of muscle strength and physical performance which exceeds that related to aging and is focused on the period close to the fracture occurrence. After fracture, muscle strength increased and physical performance improved. The rate of normalization depended partly on the therapeutic approach and on the rehabilitation program. A subgroup of patients, mainly the elderly, never returns to the pre-fracture level of physical performance. The permanent decline of physical function after fracture may be related to the limitation of movements due to pain, low physical activity, poor health before the fracture, and reduced efficacy of retraining after immobilization.

Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10122268. [PMID: 33271939 PMCID: PMC7760310 DOI: 10.3390/ani10122268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Revised: 11/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Irisin and myostatin are regulatory proteins produced by muscle cells. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of exercise on plasma irisin and myostatin concentrations in horses in different types of training (speed versus endurance). To find out, we tested 20 Arabian horses, submitted to the two different equestrian disciplines, and consequently different training regimes. The first group of horses realized a short-term, high-speed bout of exercise whereas the second group of horses were submitted to long-lasting, endurance effort. The obtained results showed that the single bout of exercise induced an increase in plasma myostatin concentration. Plasma irisin level decreased during the race season in racehorses. This means that irisin and myostatin may play a regulatory role in the maintenance of the energy balance processes. Abstract Skeletal muscle is considered to be the largest endocrine organ determining the maintenance of energy homeostasis. Adaptive changes in skeletal muscles in response to physical exercise influence the production as well as secretion of myokines, which are bioactive factors that play a crucial role in energy expenditure processes. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of two different types of exercise on the circulating level of two of these, myostatin and irisin, in trained horses. Twenty purebred Arabian horses were involved in the study: 10 three-year-old horses trained on the racetrack and 10 endurance horses aged 7.4 ± 1.9 years. The horses from both groups were regularly trained throughout the entire season, during which they also participated in Polish National competitions. To assess the influence of the training sessions on plasma myostatin and irisin concentrations, blood samples taken at rest and 30 min after the end of exercise were analyzed. In the studied horses, the single bout of exercise did not influence plasma irisin but induced an increase in plasma myostatin concentration. In racehorses, plasma irisin concentration decreased with the length of the training season. Plasma myostatin was higher in endurance horses than in three-year-old racehorses. Lack of exercise-induced fluctuation in circulating irisin in studied horses suggests that myostatin released in response to exercise provides a negative feedback signal to irisin release.

Short- and Long-Term Reciprocal Bone-Muscle Relationships in the Upper and Lower Extremity of Afro-Caribbean Men by DXA: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Tobago Bone Health Study. JBMR Plus 2020; 4:e10406. [PMID: 33103031 PMCID: PMC7574705 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Little is known about the time course of muscle–bone effects and whether a reciprocal clinical effect of bone on muscle is present. We hypothesized that lean mass (LM) measures at the arms and legs have a stronger relationship with BMD measured within the same region than the reciprocal effect. The Tobago Bone Health Study was used to address this hypothesis, examining body composition data from total body DXA scans obtained at 0, 48‐, and 120‐month visits. A longitudinal analysis of LM, LM/height2 (LMI), and LM/BMI was conducted at the upper and lower extremities separately, in relation to BMD within the corresponding region. A cross‐lagged panel model was used to study pathways from 0 to 120 months for muscle–bone and bone–muscle effects within the same visit, and across each lagged period. Models accounted for age, height, weight, race, arthritis, prior nontraumatic fracture after age 40, number of units of alcohol consumed per week, current smoking, diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, amount of walking in the last week, grip strength, and hospitalizations. Significant models demonstrating parsimony, and meeting absolute and relative fit criteria were retained. Among 1286 Afro‐Caribbean men (mean age: 53 ± 9 years, BMI: 27.43 ± 4.23 kg/m2) with data available for all visits, LM, LMI, and LM/BMI had modest contemporaneous relationships with BMD, which dissipated with lagged time. The size of these effects was stronger at the legs than at the arms. These lagged effects were primarily mediated through indirect same time‐point muscle–bone relations rather than a true directly lagged effect. Bone density showed only a small effect on LM arm measures across lagged time, but this was impossible to tease‐out from same time‐point relations. These results suggest muscle–bone relationships are not long‐lasting at least beyond 48 months. Efforts to maintain muscle and bone strength should focus on shorter‐term interventions. More studies are needed with serial bone–muscle imaging over shorter periods. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Myokines are muscle-derived cytokines and chemokines that act extensively on organs and exert beneficial metabolic functions in the whole-body through specific signal networks. Myokines as mediators provide the conceptual basis for a whole new paradigm useful for understanding how skeletal muscle communicates with other organs. In this review, we summarize and discuss classes of myokines and their physiological functions in mediating the regulatory roles of skeletal muscle on other organs and the regulation of the whole-body energy metabolism. We review the mechanisms involved in the interaction between skeletal muscle and nonmuscle organs through myokines. Moreover, we clarify the connection between exercise, myokines and disease development, which may contribute to the understanding of a potential mechanism by which physical inactivity affects the process of metabolic diseases via myokines. Based on the current findings, myokines are important factors that mediate the effect of skeletal muscle on other organ functions and whole-body metabolism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Disuse-induced bone loss is caused by a suppression of osteoblastic bone formation and an increase in osteoclastic bone resorption. There are few data available for the effects of environmental conditions, i.e., atmospheric pressure and/or oxygen concentration, on osteoporosis. This study examined the effects of mild hyperbaric oxygen at 1317 hPa with 40% oxygen on unloading-induced osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen 8-week old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control for 21 days without unloading and mild hyperbaric oxygen (NOR, n = 6), the unloading for 21 days and recovery for 10 days without mild hyperbaric oxygen (HU + NOR, n = 6), and the unloading for 21 days and recovery for 10 days with mild hyperbaric oxygen (HU + MHO, n = 6). RESULTS The cortical thickness and trabecular bone surface area were decreased in the HU + NOR group compared to the NOR group. There were no differences between the NOR and HU + MHO groups. Osteoclast surface area and Sclerostin (Sost) mRNA expression levels were decreased in the HU + MHO group compared to the HU + NOR group. These results suggested that the loss of the cortical and trabecular bone is inhibited by mild hyperbaric oxygen, because of an inhibition of osteoclasts and enhancement of bone formation with decreased Sost expression. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that exposure to mild hyperbaric oxygen partially protects from the osteoporosis induced by hindlimb unloading.

Abstract
Physical activity decreases the risk of a network of diseases, and exercise may be prescribed as medicine for lifestyle-related disorders such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. During the past couple of decades, it has been apparent that skeletal muscle works as an endocrine organ, which can produce and secrete hundreds of myokines that exert their effects in either autocrine, paracrine, or endocrine manners. Recent advances show that skeletal muscle produces myokines in response to exercise, which allow for crosstalk between the muscle and other organs, including brain, adipose tissue, bone, liver, gut, pancreas, vascular bed, and skin, as well as communication within the muscle itself. Although only few myokines have been allocated to a specific function in humans, it has been identified that the biological roles of myokines include effects on, for example, cognition, lipid and glucose metabolism, browning of white fat, bone formation, endothelial cell function, hypertrophy, skin structure, and tumor growth. This suggests that myokines may be useful biomarkers for monitoring exercise prescription for people with, for example, cancer, diabetes, or neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Skeletal muscle and bone are connected anatomically and physiologically, and play a crucial role in human locomotion and metabolism. Historically, the coupling between muscle and bone has been viewed in light of mechanotransduction, which dictates that the mechanical forces applied to muscle are transmitted to the skeleton to initiate bone formation. However, these organs also communicate through the endocrine system, orchestrated by a family of cytokines namely myokines (derived from myocytes) and osteokines (derived from bone cells). A third player in this biochemical crosstalk is adipose tissue and the secretion of adipokines (derived from adipocytes). In this review, we discuss the bidirectional effects of myokines and osteokines on muscle and bone metabolism, and the impact of adipokines on both of these secretory organs. RECENT FINDINGS Several myokines, notably, IL6, irisin, IGF-1, BDNF, myostatin, and FGF2 exert anabolic/catabolic effects on bone, while the osteokines osteocalcin and sclerostin have shown to induce muscle anabolism and catabolism, respectively. Adipokines, such as leptin, resistin, adiponectin, and TNFα (released from adipose tissue), can also modulate muscle and bone metabolism. Contrarily, exercise-mediated release of lipolytic myokines (IL6, irisin, and LIF) stimulates thermogenesis by promoting the browning of adipocytes. Myokines, osteokines, and adipokines exert autocrine/paracrine effects locally as well as through the endocrine system, to regulate muscle, bone, and fat metabolism. Reductions in physical activity and increases in energy intake, both linked with aging, leads to adipocyte hypertrophy and the recruitment of immunological cells (macrophages). In turn, this releases pro-inflammatory adipokines which induces chronic low-grade inflammation (LGI), a key player in the pathology of several diseases. However, exercise-induced stimulation of bioactive cytokines, through muscle-bone-fat crosstalk, increases muscle anabolism, bone formation, mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose utilization, and fatty acid oxidation, and attenuates chronic LGI.

Abstract
Microgravity causes both muscle and bone loss. Although we previously revealed that gravity change influences muscle and bone through the vestibular system in mice, its detailed mechanism has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the roles of olfactomedin 1 (OLFM1), whose expression was upregulated during hypergravity in the soleus muscle, in mouse bone cells. Vestibular lesion significantly blunted OLFM1 expression in the soleus muscle and serum OLFM1 levels enhanced by hypergravity in mice. Moreover, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor antagonized shear stress-enhanced OLFM1 expression in C2C12 myotubes. As for the effects of OLFM1 on bone cells, OLFM1 inhibited osteoclast formation from mouse bone marrow cells and mouse preosteoclastic RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, OLFM1 suppressed RANKL expression and nuclear factor-κB signaling in mouse osteoblasts. Serum OLFM1 levels were positively related to OLFM1 mRNA levels in the soleus muscle and trabecular bone mineral density of mice. In conclusion, we first showed that OLFM1 suppresses osteoclast formation and RANKL expression in mouse cells.

Abstract
AIM This study systematically reviewed evidence regarding the effectiveness of exercise in slowing breastfeeding-induced bone loss. METHODS The evidence-based approach of a systematic review (PROSPERO registration No. CRD42019111623) was adopted. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials or observational studies. Study samples were breastfeeding women, the intervention was any form of exercise, and bone mineral density (BMD) of the total body, lumbar spine and hip/femur neck before 6 months and at 1 year were the outcome measures. Meta-analyses were performed using a random effect model, and calculations of mean differences of BMD change and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were carried out. Studies were further evaluated through trial sequential meta-analysis (TSA), and the 'Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation' methodology was used to assess the certainty of evidence (CoE). RESULTS A total of 1049 studies were screened, and 4 met the inclusion criteria. Weight-bearing aerobic exercise and resistance training before the 6-month evaluation slowed breastfeeding-induced bone loss in the lumbar spine (1.62% BMD change [95% CI = 0.53-2.71]; I2 = 8%). The TSA Z-curve revealed crossing of the TSA boundary and line of information size, indicating sufficient sampling and significance. The CoE of exercise benefit in the lumbar spine at 6 months was low, whereas the CoE for other areas ranged from low to very low. CONCLUSION This first systematic review and meta-analysis provided some evidence of the advantages of exercise for slowing breastfeeding-induced bone loss. However, additional randomized controlled trials are warranted to generate more conclusive evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of high-load (≥ 70 of 1RM) and low-load (< 70 of 1RM) resistance training (RT) on femoral neck and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and older people. DESIGN Systematic review with meta-analysis. DATA SOURCE English language searches of the electronic databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Web of Science. INCLUSION CRITERIA (i) older or middle-aged (≥ 45 years old) participants of both sexes with or without comorbidities, (ii) studies that compared high-load (≥70% 1 RM) versus low-load (<70% 1RM) RT, (iii) studies that examined femoral neck or lumbar spine BMD. RESULTS From 1052 studies found, six were included in qualitative and quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis revealed no difference between groups for femoral neck (weighted mean difference [MD] and 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.00 g/cm2 [95% CI, -0.01 to 0.01]; P = 0.63) and lumbar spine (MD = 0.01 g/cm2 [95% CI, -0.00 to 0.02]; P = 0.12) BDM. There was a substantial heterogeneity for femoral neck (I2 = 47%; P = 0.07) and lumbar spine (I2 = 59%; P = 0.02). Subgroup analysis revealed a significant effect of high-load RT on femoral neck BMD when participants presented normal BMD values (MD = 0.01 g/cm2 [95% CI, -0.00 to 0.02]; P = 0.04) and on interventions lasting up to 6 months (MD = 0.01 g/cm2 [95% CI, -0.00 to 0.02]; P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Both high- and low-load RT have similar effects on femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD in aging people.

Bone 2020; 134:115298. [PMID: 32092478 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Recent reports have described the interactions of muscle and bone. Various muscle-derived humoral factors, known as myokines, affect bone. Although extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a vital role in physiological and pathophysiological processes by transferring their contents to distant tissues during bone metabolism, the roles of EVs in the muscle-bone interactions remain unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of EVs secreted from mouse muscle C2C12 cells on mouse bone cells and mitochondrial biogenesis. EVs secreted from C2C12 cells (Myo-EVs) were isolated from the conditioned medium of C2C12 cells by ultracentrifugation. Myo-EVs suppressed osteoclast formation as well as the expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, cathepsin K, nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in mouse bone marrow cells and preosteoclastic Raw264.7 cells. Moreover, Myo-EVs suppressed oxygen consumption and mRNA expression of the mitochondrial biogenesis markers enhanced by RANKL in these cells. However, Myo-EVs did not affect the phenotypes or mitochondrial biogenesis of mouse primary osteoblasts. In conclusion, the present study showed for the first time that Myo-EVs suppress osteoclast formation and mitochondrial energy metabolism in mouse bone marrow and Raw264.7 cells. EVs secreted from skeletal muscles might be a crucial mediator of muscle-bone interactions.

Abstract
Mechanical unloading simultaneously induces muscle and bone loss, but its mechanisms are not fully understood. The interactions between skeletal muscle and bone have been recently noted. Although canonical wingless-related integration site (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling is crucial for bone metabolism, its roles in the muscle and bone interactions have remained unknown. Here, we performed comprehensive DNA microarray analyses to clarify humoral factors linking muscle to bone in response to mechanical unloading and hypergravity with 3 g in mice. We identified Dickkopf (Dkk) 2, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibitor, as a gene whose expression was increased by hindlimb unloading (HU) and reduced by hypergravity in the soleus muscle of mice. HU significantly elevated serum Dkk2 levels and Dkk2 mRNA levels in the soleus muscle of mice whereas hypergravity significantly decreased those Dkk2 levels. In the simple regression analyses, serum Dkk2 levels were negatively and positively related to trabecular bone mineral density and mRNA levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) in the tibia of mice, respectively. Moreover, shear stress significantly suppressed Dkk2 mRNA levels in C2C12 cells, and cyclooxygenase inhibitors significantly antagonized the effects of shear stress on Dkk2 expression. On the other hand, Dkk2 suppressed the mRNA levels of osteogenic genes, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization, and it increased RANKL mRNA levels in mouse osteoblasts. In conclusion, we showed that muscle and serum Dkk2 levels are positively and negatively regulated during mechanical unloading and hypergravity in mice, respectively. An increase in Dkk2 expression in the skeletal muscle might contribute to disuse- and microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Association between strength of nonadjacent muscles and bone mineral density is unclear. We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to convince the effect of grip strength on femoral neck and lumbar spine mineral density in the general US population. This research can broaden the area of muscle-bone interaction. INTRODUCTION Grip test measures the maximum isotonic strength of hand and forearm and is often used as an indicator of general muscle strength. Muscle has been shown to exert positive effects on bone health, and studies are needed to test whether grip strength can be associated with bone mineral density of nonadjacent bones. The aim of this study is to assess whether grip strength is an independent predictor for bone mineral density (BMD) of femoral neck and total lumbar spine in the general US population. METHODS We used the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014, and 1850 participants aged from 40 to 80 years old were included in the analysis. Grip strength was recorded as the largest reading of three efforts of one's dominant hand using a handgrip dynamometer. Femoral neck and lumbar spine BMDs were measured through Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were done to examine the association between grip strength and BMDs. RESULTS After adjusting for age, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), use of female hormones, smoking habit, drinking habit, family history of osteoporosis, use of calcium and vitamin D supplements, physical activity, serum calcium, and phosphorus levels, grip strength is associated with increased femoral neck and total lumbar spine BMDs in men (P < 0.001, P = 0.005), premenopausal women (P = 0.040, P = 0.014), and postmenopausal women (P = 0.016, P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that (1) grip strength can be associated with BMD of nonadjacent bones, and (2) grip strength of dominant hand can be an indicator of BMD in the general US population across genders and menopausal status.

Abstract
The peripheral vestibular organs are sensors for linear acceleration (gravity and head tilt) and rotation. Further, they regulate various body functions, including body stability, ocular movement, autonomic nerve activity, arterial pressure, body temperature, and muscle and bone metabolism. The gravitational environment influences these functions given the highly plastic responsiveness of the vestibular system. This review demonstrates that hypergravity or microgravity induces changes in vestibular-related physiological functions, including arterial pressure, muscle and bone metabolism, feeding behavior, and body temperature. Hopefully, this review contributes to understanding how human beings can adapt to a new gravitational environment, including the moon and Mars, in future.

Abstract
Androgen deficiency plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of male osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Myokines have recently been identified as humoral factors that are involved in the interactions between muscle and bone; however, the influence of androgen deficiency on these interactions remains unclear. Therefore, we herein investigated the roles of humoral factors linking muscle to bone using orchidectomized mice with sarcopenia and osteopenia. Orchidectomy (ORX) significantly reduced muscle mass, grip strength, and trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in mice. Among the myokines examined, ORX only significantly reduced fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (Fndc5) mRNA levels in both the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of mice. In simple regression analyses, Fndc5 mRNA levels in the soleus muscle positively correlated with trabecular BMD, but not cortical BMD. The administration of irisin, a product of Fndc5, significantly protected against the decrease induced in trabecular BMD, but not muscle mass, by androgen deficiency in mice. In conclusion, the present results demonstrated that androgen deficiency decreases the expression of irisin in the skeletal muscle of mice. Irisin may be involved in muscle/bone relationships negatively affected by androgen deficiency.

Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a chronic, skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength and increased fracture risk; it affects 50% of women and 20% of men. In the past two decades, there have been substantial improvements in the pharmacotherapy of osteoporosis which have yielded potent inhibitors of bone resorption or stimulators of bone formation.Areas covered: This review discusses newly identified targets and pathways and conceptual approaches to the prevention of multiple age-related disorders. Furthermore, it summarizes existing therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis.Expert opinion: Our enhanced understanding of bone biology and the reciprocal interactions between bone and other tissues have allowed the identification of new targets that may facilitate the development of novel drugs. These drugs will hopefully achieve the uncoupling of bone formation from resorption and possibly exert a dual anabolic and antiresorptive effect on bone. Alas, limitations regarding adherence, efficacy on nonvertebral fracture prevention and the long-term adverse events still exist for currently available therapeutics. Moreover, the efficacy of most agents is limited by the tight coupling of osteoblasts and osteoclasts; hence the reduction of bone resorption invariably reduces bone formation, and vice versa. This field is very much 'a work in progress.'

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of skeletal muscle depletion measured on computed tomography (CT) in patients with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer. Methods This retrospective study included 577 consecutive women (mean age ± standard deviation: 48.9 ± 10.2 years with breast cancer who underwent a preoperative positron-emission tomography (PET)/CT scan and curative surgery between January 2012 and August 2014. The total abdominal muscle area (TAMA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and visceral fat area (VFA) were measured on CT images at the L3 vertebral level. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses were performed to evaluate whether there was an association between sarcopenia and overall survival (OS) outcome. Results Of the 577 women, 49 (8.5%) died after a mean of 46 months. The best TAMA threshold for predicting OS was 83.7 cm2. The multivariate Cox proportional-hazard analysis revealed that sarcopenia (TAMA ≤ 83.70 cm2) was a strong prognostic biomarker (hazard ratio [HR], 1.951; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.061–3.586), along with large tumor size, axillary lymph node metastasis, high nuclear grade, estrogen receptor status, and adjuvant radiation therapy. In the subgroup analysis of patients aged ≥ 50 years, TAMA (≤ 77.14 cm2) was a significant independent factor (HR, 2.856; 95% CI, 1.218–6.695). Conclusion Skeletal muscle depletion measured on CT was associated with worse OS outcome in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
Bone and skeletal muscle are integrated organs and their coupling has been considered mainly a mechanical one in which bone serves as attachment site to muscle while muscle applies load to bone and regulates bone metabolism. However, skeletal muscle can affect bone homeostasis also in a non-mechanical fashion, i.e., through its endocrine activity. Being recognized as an endocrine organ itself, skeletal muscle secretes a panel of cytokines and proteins named myokines, synthesized and secreted by myocytes in response to muscle contraction. Myokines exert an autocrine function in regulating muscle metabolism as well as a paracrine/endocrine regulatory function on distant organs and tissues, such as bone, adipose tissue, brain and liver. Physical activity is the primary physiological stimulus for bone anabolism (and/or catabolism) through the production and secretion of myokines, such as IL-6, irisin, IGF-1, FGF2, beside the direct effect of loading. Importantly, exercise-induced myokine can exert an anti-inflammatory action that is able to counteract not only acute inflammation due to an infection, but also a condition of chronic low-grade inflammation raised as consequence of physical inactivity, aging or metabolic disorders (i.e., obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus). In this review article, we will discuss the effects that some of the most studied exercise-induced myokines exert on bone formation and bone resorption, as well as a brief overview of the anti-inflammatory effects of myokines during the onset pathological conditions characterized by the development a systemic low-grade inflammation, such as sarcopenia, obesity and aging.

Abstract
Physical inactivity and high-fat diet, especially high saturated fat containing diet are established risk factors for breast cancer that are amenable to intervention. High-fat diet has been shown to induce tumor growth and metastasis by alteration of inflammation but steady exercise has anti-tumorigenic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of physical activity on high-fat diet stimulated breast cancer initiation and progression are currently unclear. In this study, we examined how the intensity of physical activity influences high fat diet-stimulated breast cancer latency and progression outcomes, and the possible mechanisms behind these effects. Five-week-old female Balb/c mice were fed either a control diet or a high-fat diet for 8 weeks, and then 4T1 mouse mammary tumor cells were inoculated into the mammary fat pads. Exercise training occurred before tumor cell injection, and tumor latency and tumor volume were measured. Mice with a high-fat diet and low-intensity exercise (HFLE) had a longer tumor latency period, slower tumor growth, and smaller tumor volume in the final tumor assessment compared with the control, high-fat diet control (HFDC), and high-fat diet with moderate-intensity exercise (HFME) groups. Steady low- and moderate-intensity exercise had no effect on cell proliferation but induced apoptosis by activating caspase-3 through the alteration of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bax expression. Furthermore, steady exercise reduced M2 macrophage polarization in breast tumor tissue, which has been linked to tumor growth. The myokine, myostatin, reduced M2 macrophage polarization through the inhibition of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These results suggest that steady low-intensity exercise could delay breast cancer initiation and growth and reduce tumor volume through the induction of tumor cell apoptosis and the suppression of M2 macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Recently, sarcopenia has garnered renewed interest. Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by decreased skeletal muscle mass and strength/function, which can impair the quality of life and increase physical disability, adverse metabolic effects, and mortality. Imaging tools for evaluating and diagnosing sarcopenia have developed rapidly. Radiologists should be aware of sarcopenia and its clinical implications. We review current knowledge about sarcopenia, its pathophysiological impact, and advantages and disadvantages of methods for evaluation of sarcopenia focusing on body composition imaging modalities such as whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, CT, and MRI. Controversial issues are discussed, including the lack of consensus and standardization of the disease definition, imaging modality, measurement methods, and diagnostic cutoff points.

Abstract
Physical activity exerts multiple beneficial effects and the myokine concept provides a framework for understanding the molecular pathways that integrate contracting muscle in the complex network of organ communication. This network includes multiple distinct and distal organs; however, the autocrine and paracrine effects of myokines within skeletal muscle (in which they are produced) also need specific attention. In humans, the functional allocation of myokines remains limited and recent findings on fibre type-specific myokine signatures point to an additional level of complexity. Myokines are involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of physical activity and, therefore, critically counteract insulin resistance and the metabolic perturbations of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Future work needs to address the role of myokines in concert with other crosstalk molecules, and to define their specific impact for metabolic homeostasis.

Abstract
Personalised care is integral to the delivery of the NHS England Long Term Plan. Enabling choice and supporting patients to make decisions predicated on ‘what matters to them’, rather than ‘what is the matter with them’ is a fundamental part of the NHS vision. Social prescribing uses non-medical, asset-based, salutogenic approaches to promote this personalised paradigm, and places the patient central to decision making. This article discusses how personalised care can be used to help people with cardiovascular disease using socially prescribed ‘nature-based’ interventions to support the pre-habilitation and rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular disease. The concept of personalised care outlined and the significance of salutogenic principles as a complementary approach to the pathogenic model is discussed. The authors argue that this seemingly novel approach to using nature-based interventions can help promote wellbeing for people with cardiovascular disease as part of the wider personalised agenda.

Abstract
We induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) with adenine in WT mice, mice with osteocyte-specific deletion of Cyp27b1, encoding the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1(OH)ase [Oct-1(OH)ase-/-], and mice with global deletion of Cyp27b1 [global-1α(OH)ase-/-]; we then compared extraskeletal calcification. After adenine treatment, mice displayed increased blood urea nitrogen, decreased serum 1,25(OH)2D, and severe hyperparathyroidism. Skeletal expression of Cyp27b1 and of sclerostin and serum sclerostin all increased in WT mice but not in Oct-1α(OH)ase-/- mice or global-1α(OH)ase-/- mice. In contrast, skeletal expression of BMP2 and serum BMP2 rose in the Oct-1α(OH)ase-/- mice and in the global-1α(OH)ase-/- mice. Extraskeletal calcification occurred in muscle and blood vessels of mice with CKD and was highest in Oct-1α(OH)ase-/-mice. In vitro, recombinant sclerostin (100 ng/mL) significantly suppressed BMP2-induced osteoblastic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle A7r5 cells and diminished BMP2-induced mineralization. Our study provides evidence that local osteocytic production of 1,25(OH)2D stimulates sclerostin and inhibits BMP2 production in murine CKD, thus mitigating osteoblastic transdifferentiation and mineralization of soft tissues. Increased osteocytic 1,25(OH)2D production, triggered by renal malfunction, may represent a "primary defensive response" to protect the organism from ectopic calcification by increasing sclerostin and suppressing BMP2 production.

Association of serum bone- and muscle-derived factors with age, sex, body composition, and physical function in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly adults: a cross-sectional study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:276. [PMID: 31164134 PMCID: PMC6549364 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2650-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding interactions between bone and muscle based on endocrine factors may help elucidate the relationship between osteoporosis and sarcopenia. However, whether the abundance or activity of these endocrine factors is affected by age and sex or whether these factors play a causal role in bone and muscle formation and function is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association of serum bone- and muscle-derived factors with age, sex, body composition, and physical function in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly adults. METHODS In all, 254 residents (97 men, 157 women) participated in this cross-sectional study conducted in Japan. The calcaneal speed of sound (SOS) was evaluated by quantitative ultrasound examination. Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was calculated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Grip strength was measured using a dynamometer. Gait speed was measured by optical-sensitive gait analysis. Serum sclerostin, osteocalcin (OC), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), myostatin, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b) concentrations were measured simultaneously. The difference by sex was determined using t test. Correlations between serum bone- and muscle-derived factors and age, BMI, SOS, SMI, grip strength, gait speed, and TRACP-5b in men and women were determined based on Pearson's correlation coefficients. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the stepwise method. RESULTS There was no significant difference with regard to age between men (75.0 ± 8.9 years) and women (73.6 ± 8.1 years). Sclerostin was significantly higher in men than in women and tended to increase with age in men; it was significantly associated with SOS and TRACP-5b levels. OC was significantly higher in women than in men and was significantly associated with TRACP-5b levels and age. IGF-1 tended to decrease with age in both sexes and was significantly associated with SOS and body mass index. Myostatin did not correlate with any assessed variables. CONCLUSIONS Sclerostin was significantly associated with sex, age, and bone metabolism, although there was no discernable relationship between serum sclerostin levels and muscle function. There was no obvious relationship between OC and muscle parameters. This study suggests that IGF-1 is an important modulator of muscle mass and function and bone metabolism in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly adults.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle secretes myokines, which are involved in metabolism and muscle function regulation. The role of fasting on myokine expression in skeletal muscle is largely unknown. In this study, we used gastrocnemius skeletal muscle RNA sequencing data from fasting male mice in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Adopted male and female C57BL/6J mice that fasted for 24 h were included to examine the effect of fasting on myokine expression in slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch tiabialis anterior (TA) skeletal muscle. We found that fasting significantly affected many myokines in muscle. Fasting reduced Fndc5 and Igf1 gene expression in soleus and TA muscles in both male and female mice without muscle phenotype or gender differences, but Il6, Mstn and Erfe expression was influenced by fasting with fibre type- and gender-dependent effects. Fasting also induced muscle atrophy marker genes Murf1 and Fbxo32 and reduced myogenesis factor Mef2 expression without muscle fibre or gender differences. We further found that the expression of transcription factors Pgc1α, Pparα, Pparγ and Pparδ had muscle fibre type-dependent effects, and the expression of Pgc1α and Pparα had gender-dependent effects. The sophisticated expression pattern of myokines would partially explain the complicated cross-talk between skeletal muscle and other organs in different genders and muscles phenotypes, and it is worth further investigation.

Abstract
Objective: In aging population, postmenopausal osteoporosis and decline of musculoskeletal function, referred to as "frailty syndrome" lead to loss of bone and muscle, causing falls, and fall-related injuries. To limit the impact of this portentous duo, simultaneous treatment of both is needed. Urocortin (UCN) has been reported to improve osteoporotic bone properties while its effect on muscle has not been addressed yet. Design and Methods: We aimed to investigate the effect of urocortin in vivo on skeletal muscle structure in osteopenic rats. Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: four were ovariectomized (OVX) and one underwent sham operation (SHAM). One ovariectomized group was left untreated (OVX), while one was treated with urocortin s.c. in 3 μg/kg body weight (bw) (OVX+UCN low), one with 30 μg/kg (OVX+UCN high), while one group was treated with estradiol orally (OVX+E: 0.2 mg/kg bw), each for 35 days. Mm. gastrocnemius, longissimus, and soleus were isolated and capillary density as well as diameters of type I and II fibers were measured. In addition, we examined the effect of UCN on tibia using biomechanical, micro-CT and ashing analysis and investigated the blood serum. Results: We demonstrated a positive effect of UCN on M. soleus, in which fiber diameter was positively influenced. The biomechanical and structural parameters of bone were not changed in UCN treated rats. The higher cholesterol, glucose and triglyceride levels in the "UCN high" group raise concern about this treatment. Conclusions: Our results portray urocortin as a substance that can be assessed for future therapeutic treatments of estrogen deficiency. New and Noteworthy: Urocortin has a positive effect on M. soleus (diameter). Urocortin raises serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Bone tissue was not affected by UCN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myostatin (MSTN), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, has been implicated in the negative regulation of skeletal myogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism through which MSTN regulates early embryonic myogenesis is not well understood. RESULTS We demonstrate that MSTN regulates early embryonic myogenesis by promoting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the dermomyotome during somitogenesis in chicks. We show that the MSTN gene is first expressed at the center of the dermomyotome. As somitogenesis progresses, its expression extends dorsally and ventrally along the plane of the dermomyotome. By combining in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence assays, we demonstrate that the expression pattern of MSTN is spatiotemporally well correlated with EMT of the dermomyotome. Our gain- and loss-of-function experiments further reveal that MSTN can induce EMT of the chick dermomyotome. We also show that MSTN induces EMT of a nonsmall cell lung carcinoma cell line (A549) and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our experimental data suggest that MSTN regulates myogenesis by promoting EMT during somitogenesis. These findings provide novel insights into the functions of MSTN during early embryonic myogenesis. Developmental Dynamics 247:1241-1252, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the progressive skeletal and cardiac muscle dysfunction and degeneration is accompanied by low bone mineral density and bone fragility. Glucocorticoids, which remain the standard of care for patients with DMD, increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. The scope of this review emphasizes the mutual cohesion and common signaling pathways between bone and skeletal muscle in DMD. RECENT FINDINGS The muscle-bone interactions involve bone-derived osteokines, muscle-derived myokines, and dual-origin cytokines that trigger common signaling pathways leading to fibrosis, inflammation, or protein synthesis/degradation. In particular, the triad RANK/RANKL/OPG including receptor activator of NF-kB (RANK), its ligand (RANKL), along with osteoprotegerin (OPG), regulates bone matrix modeling and remodeling pathways and contributes to muscle pathophysiology in DMD. This review discusses the importance of the muscle-bone unit in DMD and covers recent research aimed at determining the muscle-bone interactions that may eventually lead to the development of multifunctional and effective drugs for treating muscle and bone disorders regardless of the underlying genetic mutations in DMD.

Abstract
We recently reported that hypergravity with 3 g for 4 weeks affects muscle and bone through the vestibular system in mice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hypergravity with 2 g, which had no influence on circulating glucocorticoid level, on the gene levels in muscle and bone, as well as the roles of the vestibular system in those changes using vestibular lesioned (VL) mice. Hypergravity for 2 and 8 weeks or VL exerted little effects on the mRNA levels of muscle differentiation factors and myokines in the soleus muscle. Although hypergravity for 2 weeks significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and type I collagen mRNA levels in the tibia, VL significantly attenuated the levels of ALP mRNA enhanced by hypergravity. In conclusion, the present study suggests that a 2-g load for 2 weeks enhances osteoblast differentiation partly through the vestibular system in mice.

Abstract
Studies examining the relationship between muscle parameters and bone strength have not included multiple muscle measurements and/or both central and peripheral skeletal parameters. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between lean mass, muscle strength and power, and skeletal size, bone density, and bone strength. We studied the association between appendicular lean mass (ALM), grip strength, and leg power, and central quantitative computed tomography (QCT) parameters in 2857 men aged 65 years or older; peripheral QCT was available on a subset (n = 786). ALM, grip strength, and leg power were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), Jamar dynamometer, and the Nottingham Power Rig, respectively. Multivariable models adjusting for potential confounders including age, race, study site, BMI, and muscle measurements were developed and least squares means were generated from linear regression models. For the multivariable model, percent differences of bone parameters between lowest (Q1) and highest quartiles (Q4) of ALM, grip strength, and leg power were reported. ALM was significantly associated with central and peripheral QCT parameters: percent higher values (Q4 versus Q1) ranging from 3.3% (cortical volumetric bone mineral density [vBMD] of the femoral neck) to 31% (vertebral strength index of the spine). Grip strength was only significantly associated with radial parameters: percent higher values (Q4 versus Q1) ranging from 2.5% (periosteal circumference) to 7.5% (33% axial strength index [SSIx]). Leg power was associated with vertebral strength and lower cross-sectional area with percent lower values (Q4 versus Q1) of -11.9% and -2.7%, respectively. In older men, stronger associations were observed for ALM compared to muscle strength and power. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the relationship between independent changes in muscle measurements and skeletal size, density and strength. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Kawao N, Moritake A, Tatsumi K, Kaji H. Roles of Irisin in the Linkage from Muscle to Bone During Mechanical Unloading in Mice. Calcif Tissue Int 2018; 103:24-34.

Abstract
Mechanical unloading induces disuse muscle atrophy and bone loss, but the details in mechanism involved in those pathophysiological conditions are not fully understood. Interaction between muscle and bone has been recently noted. Here, we investigated the roles of humoral factors linking muscle to bone during mechanical unloading using mice with hindlimb unloading (HU) and sciatic neurectomy (SNX). HU and SNX reduced muscle volume surrounding the tibia, tissue weights of soleus and gastrocnemius muscle, and trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in the tibia of mice. Among humoral factors linking muscle to bone, HU and SNX reduced fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (FNDC5) mRNA levels in the soleus muscle of mice. Simple regression analysis revealed that FNDC5 mRNA levels in the soleus muscle were positively related to trabecular BMD in the tibia of control and HU mice as well as sham and SNX mice. Moreover, FNDC5 mRNA levels were negatively correlated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) mRNA levels in the tibia of control and HU mice. Irisin, a product of FNDC5, suppressed osteoclast formation from mouse bone marrow cells and RANKL mRNA levels in primary osteoblasts. FNDC5 mRNA levels elevated by fluid shear stress were antagonized by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling inhibitors in myoblastic C2C12 cells. In conclusion, the present study first showed that mechanical unloading reduces irisin expression in the skeletal muscle of mice presumably through BMP and PI3K pathways. Irisin might be involved in muscle/bone relationships regulated by mechanical stress in mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Epigenetic mechanisms modify gene activity in a stable manner without altering DNA sequence. They participate in the adaptation to the environment, as well as in the pathogenesis of common complex disorders. We provide an overview of the role of epigenetic mechanisms in bone biology and pathology. RECENT FINDINGS Extensive evidence supports the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation, post-translational modifications of histone tails, and non-coding RNAs) in the differentiation of bone cells and mechanotransduction. A variety of epigenetic abnormalities have been described in patients with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and skeletal cancers, but their actual pathogenetic roles are still unclear. A few drugs targeting epigenetic marks have been approved for neoplastic disorders, and many more are being actively investigated. Advances in the field of epigenetics underscore the complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors as determinants of osteoporosis and other common disorders. Likewise, they help to explain the mechanisms by which prenatal and post-natal external factors, from nutrition to psychological stress, impact our body and influence the risk of later disease.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a widely sought exercise adaptation to counteract the muscle atrophy of aging and disease, or to improve athletic performance. While this desired muscle enlargement is a well-known adaptation to resistance exercise training (RT), the mechanistic underpinnings are not fully understood. The purpose of this review is thus to provide the reader with a summary of recent advances in molecular mechanisms-based on the most current literature-that are thought to promote RT-induced muscle hypertrophy. We have therefore focused this discussion on the following areas of fertile investigation: ribosomal function and biogenesis, muscle stem (satellite) cell activity, transcriptional regulation, mechanotransduction, and myokine signaling.

Vitamin K2 improves proliferation and migration of bovine skeletal muscle cells in vitro. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0195432.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle function is highly dependent on the ability to regenerate, however, during ageing or disease, the proliferative capacity is reduced, leading to loss of muscle function. We have previously demonstrated the presence of vitamin K2 in bovine skeletal muscles, but whether vitamin K has a role in muscle regulation and function is unknown. In this study, we used primary bovine skeletal muscle cells, cultured in monolayers in vitro, to assess a potential effect of vitamin K2 (MK-4) during myogenesis of muscle cells. Cell viability experiments demonstrate that the amount of ATP produced by the cells was unchanged when MK-4 was added, indicating viable cells. Cytotoxicity analysis show that MK-4 reduced the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released into the media, suggesting that MK-4 was beneficial to the muscle cells. Cell migration, proliferation and differentiation was characterised after MK-4 incubation using wound scratch analysis, immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR analysis. Adding MK-4 to the cells led to an increased muscle proliferation, increased gene expression of the myogenic transcription factor myod as well as increased cell migration. In addition, we observed a reduction in the fusion index and relative gene expression of muscle differentiation markers, with fewer complex myotubes formed in MK-4 stimulated cells compared to control cells, indicating that the MK-4 plays a significant role during the early phases of muscle proliferation. Likewise, we see the same pattern for the relative gene expression of collagen 1A, showing increased gene expression in proliferating cells, and reduced expression in differentiating cells. Our results also suggest that MK-4 incubation affect low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) with a peak in gene expression after 45 min of MK-4 incubation. Altogether, our experiments show that MK-4 has a positive effect on muscle cell migration and proliferation, which are two important steps during early myogenesis.

Abstract
We recently revealed that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a serine protease inhibitor, is involved in diabetes, osteoporosis and muscle wasting induced by glucocorticoid (GC) treatment in mice. In the present study, we investigated the detailed mechanisms by which GC induces muscle wasting through PAI-1 in vivo and in vitro. PAI-1 deficiency suppressed the mRNA levels of atrogin1 and muscle RING-Finger Protein 1 (MuRF1), ubiquitin ligases leading to muscle degradation, elevated by GC treatment in the gastrocnemius muscle of mice. In vitro study revealed that active PAI-1 treatment augmented the increase in atrogin1 mRNA levels enhanced by dexamethasone (Dex) in mouse myoblastic C2C12 cells. Moreover, a reduction in endogenous PAI-1 level by siRNA suppressed the mRNA levels of atrogin1 and MuRF1 enhanced by Dex in C2C12 cells. In contrast, a reduction in endogenous PAI-1 levels and active PAI-1 did not affect the phosphorylations of Akt and p70S6 kinase nor myogenic differentiation with or without Dex in C2C12 cells. In addition, PAI-1 deficiency blunted IGF-1 mRNA levels decreased by GC treatment in the gastrocnemius muscle of mice, although neither active PAI-1 nor a reduction in endogenous PAI-1 levels affected the levels of IGF-1 mRNA in C2C12 cells in the presence of Dex. In conclusion, our data suggest that paracrine PAI-1 is involved in GC-induced muscle wasting through the enhancement of muscle degradation in mice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Irisin is a myokine/adipokine induced by the exercise in mice and humans, which is proposed to induce "browning" of white adipose tissue, its primary target, thus increasing thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Since its identification, irisin has been linked to favorable effects on metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease (CVD), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and metabolic bone diseases. Generally, despite the promising profile of irisin in rodents, its effects on human are less recognized. REVIEW Most, but not all studies show a positive association between irisin and indices of adiposity. In T2DM, NAFLD, and CVD, most observational studies reported lower irisin levels in patients than controls. Regarding metabolic bone diseases, irisin is positively associated with bone mineral density and strength in athletes, and inversely associated with osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal osteoporosis. In PCOS, data remain largely conflicting. Irisin does not seem to be further reduced when two metabolic diseases, e.g., T2DM and NAFLD, or obesity and NAFLD exist though more data are needed. Furthermore, it seems that diverse confounders may have affected the results of different clinical studies. CONCLUSION Irisin remains an appealing molecule from a pathophysiological point of view and an appealing therapeutic target for metabolic diseases, albeit much research is still needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated whether low bone density, a condition related to aging, is associated with low muscle mass, a surrogate for sarcopenia, and whether it could be used as a marker of the condition. METHODS We studied 483 women aged 35 to 69 years old who appeared healthy and attended a preventive gynecological examination. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and regional body composition. BMD was assessed using the T-score. Low appendicular lean mass (aLM) adjusted by height (aLM index) was defined according to Baumgartner et al (<5.45 kg/m). The association of low aLM index with bone mass was evaluated with a binary logistic regression using a cutoff point on the receiver operating characteristic curves for the T-score of -1.5. RESULTS The participants had a mean age of 54.7 ± 9.1 years, body mass index of 24.6 ± 3.6 kg/m, aLM index of 5.9 ± 0.6 kg/m (22.6% showed sarcopenia), abdominal fat percentage of 44.0 ± 9.1%, and T-score of -0.48 ± 0.97. In the logistic regression model, we found that low BMD implied a significant risk for sarcopenia (odds ratio [OR] 1.77; 95% CI, 1.02-3.06). In contrast, excess body weight was a protective factor (OR 0.12; 95% CI, 0.06-0.25). Neither age nor abdominal fat percentage, however, influenced the likelihood of sarcopenia in these women. CONCLUSIONS A BMD T-score below -1.5 suggests low muscle mass in middle-aged women, which is a central element in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Early diagnosis provides the opportunity to introduce preventive and therapeutic options.

Abstract
Deep space travel exposes astronauts to extended periods of space radiation and mechanical unloading, both of which may induce significant muscle and bone loss. Astronauts are exposed to space radiation from solar particle events (SPE) and background radiation referred to as galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). To explore interactions between skeletal muscle and bone under these conditions, we hypothesized that decreased mechanical load, as in the microgravity of space, would lead to increased susceptibility to space radiation-induced bone and muscle loss. We evaluated changes in bone and muscle of mice exposed to hind limb suspension (HLS) unloading alone or in addition to proton and high (H) atomic number (Z) and energy (E) (HZE) (16O) radiation. Adult male C57Bl/6J mice were randomly assigned to six groups: No radiation ± HLS, 50 cGy proton radiation ± HLS, and 50 cGy proton radiation + 10 cGy 16O radiation ± HLS. Radiation alone did not induce bone or muscle loss, whereas HLS alone resulted in both bone and muscle loss. Absolute trabecular and cortical bone volume fraction (BV/TV) was decreased 24% and 6% in HLS-no radiation vs the normally loaded no-radiation group. Trabecular thickness and mineral density also decreased with HLS. For some outcomes, such as BV/TV, trabecular number and tissue mineral density, additional bone loss was observed in the HLS+proton+HZE radiation group compared to HLS alone. In contrast, whereas HLS alone decreased muscle mass (19% gastrocnemius, 35% quadriceps), protein synthesis, and increased proteasome activity, radiation did not exacerbate these catabolic outcomes. Our results suggest that combining simulated space radiation with HLS results in additional bone loss that may not be experienced by muscle.
