Abstract
Organ-on-a-chip in vitro platforms accurately mimic complex microenvironments offering the ability to recapitulate and dissect mechanisms of physiological and pathological settings, revealing their major importance to develop new therapeutic targets. Bone diseases, such as osteoarthritis, are extremely complex, comprising of the action of inflammatory mediators leading to unbalanced bone homeostasis and de-regulation of sensory innervation and angiogenesis. Although there are models to mimic bone vascularization or innervation, in vitro platforms merging the complexity of bone, vasculature, innervation, and inflammation are missing. Therefore, in this study a microfluidic-based neuro-vascularized bone chip (NVB chip) is proposed to 1) model the mechanistic interactions between innervation and angiogenesis in the inflammatory bone niche, and 2) explore, as a screening tool, novel strategies targeting inflammatory diseases, using a nano-based drug delivery system. It is possible to set the design of the platform and achieve the optimized conditions to address the neurovascular network under inflammation. Moreover, this system is validated by delivering anti-inflammatory drug-loaded nanoparticles to counteract the neuronal growth associated with pain perception. This reliable in vitro tool will allow understanding the bone neurovascular system, enlightening novel mechanisms behind the inflammatory bone diseases, bone destruction, and pain opening new avenues for new therapies discovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inflammasomes are multimeric protein structures with crucial roles in host responses against infections and injuries. The importance of inflammasome activation goes beyond host defense as a dysregulated inflammasome and subsequent secretion of IL-1 family members is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, some of which also produce skeletal manifestations. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent developments in the understanding of inflammasome regulation and IL-1 family members in bone physiology and pathology and current therapeutics will be discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Small animal models have been vital to help understand how the inflammasome regulates bone dynamics. Animal models with gain or loss of function in various inflammasome components or IL-1 family signaling have illustrated how these systems can impact numerous bone pathologies and have been utilized to test new inflammasome therapeutics. It is increasingly clear that a tightly regulated inflammasome is required not only for host defense but for skeletal homeostasis, as a dysregulated inflammasome is linked to diseases of pathological bone accrual and loss. Given the complexities of inflammasome activation and redundancies in IL-1 activation and secretion, targeting these pathways is at times challenging. Ongoing research into inflammasome-mediated mechanisms will allow the development of new therapeutics for inflammasome/IL-1 diseases.

Abstract
Bone is a very dynamic tissue, subject to continuous renewal to maintain homeostasis through bone remodeling, a process promoted by two cell types: osteoblasts, of mesenchymal derivation, are responsible for the deposition of new material, and osteoclasts, which are hematopoietic cells, responsible for bone resorption. Osteomyelitis (OM) is an invasive infectious process, with several etiological agents, the most common being Staphylococcus aureus, affecting bone or bone marrow, and severely impairing bone homeostasis, resulting in osteolysis. One of the characteristic features of OM is a strong state of oxidative stress (OS) with severe consequences on the delicate balance between osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Here we describe this, analyzing the effects of OS in bone remodeling and discussing the need for new, easy-to-measure and widely available OS biomarkers that will provide valid support in the management of the disease.

Inflammasome Activation in the Hip Synovium of Rapidly Destructive Coxopathy Patients and Its Relationship with the Development of Synovitis and Bone Loss. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2022; 192:794-804. [PMID: 35292262 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2022.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Rapidly destructive coxopathy (RDC), a rare disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by the rapid destruction of the hip joint. In the current study, the potential involvement of inflammasome signaling in the progression of RDC was investigated. Histopathologic changes and the gene expression of inflammasome activation markers in hip synovial tissues collected from patients with RDC were evaluated and compared with those of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients. The synovial tissues of patients with RDC exhibited remarkable increases in the number of infiltrated macrophages and osteoclasts, and the expression of inflammasome activation markers was also increased compared with those of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients. To further understand the histopathologic changes in the joint, a co-culture model of macrophages and synoviocytes that mimicked the joint environment was developed. Remarkably, the gene expression levels of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL1B, TNFA, ADMTS4, ADMTS5, MMP3, MMP9, and RANKL were significantly elevated in the synoviocytes that were co-cultured with activated THP-1 macrophages, suggesting the association between synovitis and inflammasome activation. Consistent with these findings, osteoclast precursor cells that were co-cultured with stimulated synoviocytes exhibited an increased number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells, compared with cells that were co-cultured with non-stimulated synoviocytes. These findings suggest that the activation of inflammasome signaling in the synovium results in an increase in local inflammation and osteoclastogenesis, thus leading to the rapid bone destruction in RDC.

Abstract
Background/Objectives Advanced thermoplastic materials, such as polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE), have been increasingly used as orthopaedic implant materials. Similar to other implants, PEEK-on-HXLPE prostheses produce debris from polymer wear that may activate the immune response, which can cause osteolysis, and ultimately implant failure. In this study, we examined whether the anti-inflammatory properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) could attenuate polymer wear particle-induced inflammation. Methods RAW264.7 cells were cultured with PEEK or PE particles and gradient concentrations of ZnO NPs. Intracellular mRNA expression and protein levels of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were detected. An air pouch mouse model was constructed to examine the inflammatory response and expression of pro-inflammatory factors in vivo. Furthermore, an osteolysis rat model was used to evaluate the activation of osteoclasts and destruction of bone tissue induced by polymer particles with or without ZnO NPs. Protein expression of the MEK-ERK-COX-2 pathway was also examined by western blotting to elucidate the mechanism underlying particle-induced anti-inflammatory effects. Results ZnO NPs (≤50 nm, 5 μg/mL) showed no obvious cytotoxicity and attenuated PEEK or PE particle-induced inflammation and inflammatory osteolysis by reducing MEK and ERK phosphorylation and decreasing COX-2 expression. Conclusion ZnO NPs (≤50 nm, 5 μg/mL) attenuated polymer wear particle-induced inflammation via regulation of the MEK-ERK-COX-2 axis. Further, ZnO NPs reduced bone tissue damage caused by particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis. The translational potential of this article Polymer wear particles can induce inflammation and osteolysis in the body after arthroplasty. ZnO NPs attenuated polymer particle-induced inflammation and inflammatory osteolysis. Topical use of ZnO NPs and blended ZnO NP/polymer composites may provide promising approaches for inhibiting polymer wear particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis, thus expanding the range of polymers used in joint prostheses.

Abstract
Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are critical negative molecules of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, which mediates a variety of biological processes in bone homeostasis and diseases. The RGS proteins are divided into nine subfamilies with a conserved RGS domain which plays an important role in regulating the GTPase activity. Mutations of some RGS proteins change bone development and/or metabolism, causing osteopathy. In this review, we summarize the recent findings of RGS proteins in regulating osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoclasts. We also highlight the impacts of RGS on bone development, bone remodeling, and bone-related diseases. Those studies demonstrate that RGS proteins might be potential drug targets for bone diseases.

Abstract
In People with HIV (PWH), chronic immune activation and systemic inflammation are associated with increased risk to develop comorbidities including bone loss. Numerous cells of the immune system, namely, T cells are involved in the regulation of the bone homeostasis and osteoclasts (OCs) activity. IL-27, a cytokine that belongs to the IL-12 family can regulate the secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines by T cells, however its role in the setting of HIV is largely unknown. In the present study, we determined the impact of OCs in T cell secretion of cytokines and whether IL-27 can regulate this function. We found that the presence of OCs in the T cell cultures significantly enhanced secretion of IFNγ, TNFα, IL-17, RANKL, and IL-10 in both PWH and healthy controls. In PWH, IL-27 inhibited IL-17 secretion and downregulated surface expression of RANKL in CD4 T cells. All together these results suggest that in the context of HIV infection IL-27 may favor IFNγ and TNFα secretion at the sites of bone remodeling.

Commensal gut bacterium critically regulates alveolar bone homeostasis. J Transl Med 2022; 102:363-375.

Abstract
The alveolar bone is a unique osseous tissue due to the presence of the teeth and the proximity of commensal oral microbes. Commensal microbe effects on alveolar bone homeostasis have been attributed to the oral microbiota, yet the impact of commensal gut microbes is unknown. Study purpose was to elucidate whether commensal gut microbes regulate osteoimmune mechanisms and skeletal homeostasis in alveolar bone. Male C57BL/6T germfree (GF) littermate mice were maintained as GF or monoassociated with segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), a commensal gut bacterium. SFB has been shown to elicit broad immune response effects, including the induction of TH17/IL17A immunity, which impacts the development and homeostasis of host tissues. SFB colonized the gut, but not oral cavity, and increased IL17A levels in the ileum and serum. SFB had catabolic effects on alveolar bone and non-oral skeletal sites, which was attributed to enhanced osteoclastogenesis. The alveolar bone marrow of SFB vs. GF mice had increased dendritic cells, activated helper T-cells, TH1 cells, TH17 cells, and upregulated Tnf. Primary osteoblast cultures from SFB and GF mice were stimulated with vehicle-control, IL17A, or TNF to elucidate osteoblast-derived signaling factors contributing to the pro-osteoclastic phenotype in SFB mice. Treatment of RAW264.7 osteoclastic cells with supernatants from vehicle-stimulated SFB vs. GF osteoblasts recapitulated the osteoclast phenotype found in vivo. Supernatants from TNF-stimulated osteoblasts normalized RAW264.7 osteoclast endpoints across SFB and GF cultures, which was dependent on the induction of CXCL1 and CCL2. This report reveals that commensal gut microbes have the capacity to regulate osteoimmune processes in alveolar bone. Outcomes from this investigation challenge the current paradigm that alveolar bone health and homeostasis is strictly regulated by oral microbes.

Abstract
Helminths and helminth-derived products hold promise for treating joint bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the mechanisms of helminths ameliorating the osteoclastic bone destruction are incompletely understood. Here, we report that Trichinella spiralis infection or treatment with the excreted/secreted products of T. spiralis muscle larvae (MES) attenuated bone erosion and osteoclastogenesis in mice with collage-induced arthritis (CIA) through inhibiting M1 monocyte/macrophage polarization and the production of M1-related proinflammatory cytokines. In vitro, MES inhibited LPS-induced M1 macrophage activation while promoting IL-4-induced M2 macrophage polarization. Same effects of MES were also observed in monocytes derived from RA patients, wherein MES treatment suppressed LPS-induced M1 cytokine production. Moreover, MES treatment attenuated LPS and RANKL co-stimulated osteoclast differentiation from the RAW264.7 macrophages through inhibiting activation of the NF-κB rather than MAPK pathway. This study provides insight into the M1 subset as a potential target for helminths to alleviate osteoclastic bone destruction in RA.

Abstract
In this report, we present the case of an 80-year-old female with pain located over the tip of her cemented tibial stem in a revision hinge total knee arthroplasty with localized osteolysis that looked suspicious for infection. A thorough workup was negative for infection. We postulate that the osteolysis at the end of her tibial stem was initiated by a modulus of elasticity mismatch at the stem tip, which generated a focal area of increased sagittal bone bending and microparticle generation. She was treated with lesional exploration, debridement, synthetic bone grafting, and tibial plating to distribute stress loads away from the tibial stem tip. Histologic analysis identified no organisms or neoplasm. Her pain ultimately resolved, and the patient returned to her customary activities.

Abstract
Background Aseptic Loosening (AL) following periprosthetic osteolysis is the main long-term complication after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, there is rare effective treatment except for revision surgery, which is costly and painful to the patients. In recent years, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has attracted much attention and has been proved to be beneficial in many chronic diseases. With respect to the studies on the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), its anti-inflammatory ability has been widely investigated. Although the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate has been applied in many inflammatory diseases and has achieved considerable therapeutic efficacy, its effect on wear particles induced osteolysis is still unknown. Results In this work, we confirmed that the anti-inflammatory action of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) could be reappeared in CoCrMo alloy particles induced osteolysis. Mechanistically, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) deactivated the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome triggered by CoCrMo alloy particles. Of note, this inhibitory action was independent of Gpr109a receptor as well as histone deacetylase (HDAC) suppression. Furthermore, given that butyrate, one kind of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) structurally related to β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), has been reported to be an inhibitor of osteoclast, thus we also investigate the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on osteoclast, which was contributed to bone resorption. It was found that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) did not only affect osteoclast differentiation, but also inhibit its function. Unlike the inflammasome, the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on osteoclast may mainly rely on histone deacetylase (HDAC) suppression. Conclusions In general, our study showed that the alleviation of osteolysis may owe to the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on inflammasome deactivation and osteoclast. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Borm PJ. The parallels between particle induced lung overload and particle induced periprosthetic osteolysis (PPOL). OPEN RESEARCH EUROPE 2022; 1:16. [PMID: 37645132 PMCID: PMC10445866 DOI: 10.12688/openreseurope.13264.2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Background: When particles deposit for instance in the lung after inhalation or in the hip joint after local release from a hip implant material they can initiate a defense response. Even though these particles originate from inert materials such as polyethylene (PE) or titanium, they may cause harm when reaching high local doses and overwhelming local defense mechanisms. Main body: This paper describes the parallels between adverse outcome pathways (AOP) and particle properties in lung overload and periprosthetic osteolysis (PPOL). It is noted that in both outcomes in different organs , the macrophage and cytokine orchestrated persistent inflammation is the common driver of events, in the bone leading to loss of bone density and structure, and in the lung leading to fibrosis and cancer. Most evidence on lung overload and its AOP is derived from chronic inhalation studies in rats, and the relevance to man is questioned. In PPOL, the paradigms and metrics are based on human clinical data, with additional insights generated from in vitro and animal studies. In both organ pathologies the total volume of particle deposition has been used to set threshold values for the onset of pathological alterations. The estimated clinical threshold for PPOL of 130 mg/ml is much higher than the amount to cause lung overload in the rat (10 mg/ml),although the threshold in PPOL is not necessarily synonymous to particle overload. Conclusions: The paradigms developed in two very different areas of particle response in the human body have major similarities in their AOP. Connecting the clinical evidence in PPOL to lung overload challenges relevance of rat inhalation studies to the human lung cancer hazard. .

Abstract
Amino-terminal fragments from proteolytically cleaved gasdermins (GSDMs) form plasma membrane pores that enable the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18. Excessive GSDM-mediated pore formation can compromise the integrity of the plasma membrane thereby causing the lytic inflammatory cell death, pyroptosis. We found that GSDMD and GSDME were the only GSDMs that were readily expressed in bone microenvironment. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that GSDMD and GSDME are implicated in fracture healing owing to their role in the obligatory inflammatory response following injury. We found that bone callus volume and biomechanical properties of injured bones were significantly reduced in mice lacking either GSDM compared with wild-type (WT) mice, indicating that fracture healing was compromised in mutant mice. However, compound loss of GSDMD and GSDME did not exacerbate the outcomes, suggesting shared actions of both GSDMs in fracture healing. Mechanistically, bone injury induced IL-1β and IL-18 secretion in vivo, a response that was mimicked in vitro by bone debris and ATP, which function as inflammatory danger signals. Importantly, the secretion of these cytokines was attenuated in conditions of GSDMD deficiency. Finally, deletion of IL-1 receptor reproduced the phenotype of Gsdmd or Gsdme deficient mice, implying that inflammatory responses induced by the GSDM-IL-1 axis promote bone healing after fracture.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 12:794429. [PMID: 35237148 PMCID: PMC8883393 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.794429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles is the major cause of prosthetic loosening after artificial joint replacement, and its prevention and treatment are difficult worldwide. Our previous study confirmed that sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are important mediators regulating the wear particle-induced macrophage inflammatory response. However, it is unclear whether SPHKs can modulate chronic inflammation and alleviate osteolysis. Zoledronic acid (ZA), an imidazole-containing bisphosphonate, directly affects osteoclasts and prevents bone mineral-related diseases. However, the effects of SPHK inhibitors and ZA used to treat periprosthetic osteolysis are unknown. Methods: We applied tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining to evaluate bone destruction in the interface membranes of patients with aseptic loosening and a control group. A murine calvarial osteolysis model was used to examine the preventative effect of SPHK inhibitors and ZA on osteolysis. Micro-CT scanning, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and histomorphometric analysis were conducted to determine the variations in inflammatory osteolysis. The effects of different drug concentrations on cell viability were evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed to confirm the reduced expression of osteoclast-specific genes after drug and titanium treatment. The osteoclast formation and functions of the drugs were analyzed using TRAP staining in vivo and in vitro. The effect of SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1 signaling pathways was verified via RT-qPCR and tissue IHC. Results: In this study, we found that SPHK inhibitors (ABC294640 and FTY720) combined with ZA decreased the degree of inflammatory osteolysis in vivo. However, ABC294640 and ZA suppressed osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast-specific genes in vitro. SPHKs regulate the inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles by increasing the expression of SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1. Conclusion: Our study revealed that wear particles could induce inflammatory osteolysis by upregulating SPHKs/S1P-TRAF2-BECN1 and SPHK inhibitors/ZA inhibit osteoclastogenesis in vitro and prevent inflammatory osteolysis in vivo, suggesting that SPHK inhibitors and ZA can be a new perspective and scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of prosthesis loosening.

Abstract
Discoveries in the last few years have emphasized the existence of an enormous breadth of communication between bone and the immune system in maintaining skeletal homeostasis. Originally, the discovery of various factors was assigned to the immune system viz. interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc1), etc., but now these factors have also been shown to have a significant impact on osteoblasts (OBs) and osteoclasts (OCs) biology. These discoveries led to an alteration in the approach for the treatment of several bone pathologies including osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is an inflammatory bone anomaly affecting more than 500 million people globally. In 2018, to highlight the importance of the immune system in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, our group coined the term “immunoporosis”. In the present review, we exhaustively revisit the characteristics, mechanism of action, and function of both innate and adaptive immune cells with the goal of understanding the potential of immune cells in osteoporosis. We also highlight the Immunoporotic role of gut microbiota (GM) for the treatment and management of osteoporosis. Importantly, we further discuss whether an immune cell-based strategy to treat and manage osteoporosis is feasible and relevant in clinical settings.

Abstract
Bone is a mineralized and elastic connective tissue that provides fundamental functions in the human body, including mechanical support to the muscles and joints, protection of vital organs and storage of minerals. Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling processes to maintain its architecture, shape, and function throughout life. One of the most important medical discoveries of recent decades has been that the immune system is involved in bone remodeling. Indeed, chronic inflammation has been recognized as the most significant factor influencing bone homeostasis, causing a shift in the bone remodeling process toward pathological bone resorption. Bone osteolytic diseases typified by excessive bone resorption account for one of the greatest causes of disability worldwide, with significant economic and public health burdens. From this perspective, we discuss the recent findings and discoveries highlighting the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate this process in the bone microenvironment, in addition to the current therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteolytic bone diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteolytic diseases share symptoms such as bone loss, fracture and pain, which are caused by over-activated osteoclasts. Targeting osteoclast differentiation has emerged as a therapeutic strategy clinically. Dendrobine is an alkaloid isolated from Chinese herb Dendrobium nobile, with knowing effects of analgesia and anti-inflammation. The roles of dendrobine on osteoclasts and osteolysis remain unclear. PURPOSE Herein, the possible roles of dendrobine in osteoclastogenesis, inflammatory osteolysis and the underlying mechanism were explored. METHODS Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and RAW264.7 cells were employed to evaluate the roles of dendrobine on osteoclastogenesis, bone absorption and the underlying mechanism in vitro. LPS injection was used to cause inflammatory osteolysis in vivo. RESULTS Dendrobine repressed osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) in vitro. Mechanistically, dendrobine inhibited RANKL-upregulated intracellular (ROS), p-p38, c-Fos expression and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc1) nuclear translocation. Osteoclastic genes were reduced, and among them matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) mRNA was dramatically blocked by dendrobine. Moreover, it substantially suppressed MMP9 protein expression during osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Accordingly, oral 20 mg/kg/day dendrobine was capable of preventing LPS-induced osteolysis with decreased osteoclasts in vivo. CONCLUSION Taken together, dendrobine suppresses osteoclastogenesis through restraining ROS, p38-c-Fos and NFATc1-MMP9 in vitro, thus attenuates inflammatory osteolysis in vivo. This finding supports the discover of dendrobine as a novel osteoclast inhibitor for impeding bone erosion in the future.

Abstract
Osteolytic disorders are characterized by impaired bone volume and trabecular structure that leads to severe fragility fractures. Studies have shown that excessive osteoclast activity causes impaired bone microstructure, a sign of osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis. Approaches of inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption specifically could prevent osteoporosis and other osteolytic disorders. Acacetin is a potent molecule extracted from plants with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory bioactivities. Here, we demonstrated, for the first time, that acacetin repressed osteoclastogenesis, formation of F-actin rings, bone resorption activity, and osteoclast-related gene expression in vitro through modulating ERK, P38, and NF-κB signaling pathways and preventing expression of NFATc1. Micro-CT and H & E staining results indicated that acacetin alleviated LPS-induced osteolysis in vivo. Overall, our findings suggested that acacetin could help to prevent osteoporosis and other osteoclast-related osteolytic disorders.

Abstract
While their function, as immune checkpoint molecules, is well known, B7-family proteins also function as regulatory molecules in bone remodeling. B7-H3 is a receptor ligand of the B7 family that functions primarily as a negative immune checkpoint. While the regulatory function of B7-H3 in osteoblast differentiation has been established, its role in osteoclast differentiation remains unclear. Here we show that B7-H3 is highly expressed in mature osteoclasts and that B7-H3 deficiency leads to the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis in human osteoclast precursors (OCPs). High-throughput transcriptomic analyses reveal that B7-H3 inhibition upregulates IFN signaling as well as IFN-inducible genes, including IDO. Pharmacological inhibition of type-I IFN and IDO knockdown leads to reversal of B7-H3-deficiency-mediated osteoclastogenesis suppression. Although synovial-fluid macrophages from rheumatoid-arthritis patients express B7-H3, inhibition of B7-H3 does not affect their osteoclastogenesis. Thus, our findings highlight B7-H3 as a physiologic positive regulator of osteoclast differentiation and implicate type-I IFN-IDO signaling as its downstream mechanism.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2021; 583:135-141.

Abstract
Inflammatory osteolysis is usually linked to the activation of proinflammatory macrophage and the consequent excessive osteoclast formation. Emerging evidence indicates that agents or drugs targeting lipid metabolism in macrophages might be potential in the prevention and treatment of osteolysis. d-mannose, as a natural-existed metabolic regulator, exerts strong effects on attenuating osteopenia and inflammation. However, whether d-mannose is therapeutically effective on osteolysis and whether a metabolic mechanism counts for the effect remain to be addressed. Here, by using an in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory osteolysis mouse model as well as an in vitro LPS-induced inflammatory macrophage culture system, we show that d-mannose attenuates inflammatory osteolysis and inhibits excessive osteoclastogenesis by reversing the LPS-induced activation of proinflammatory macrophage. Mechanically, d-mannose recovers LPS-suppressed Cpt1a transcription and promotes lipid metabolism of macrophage. Treatment with etomoxir, an inhibitor of CPT1A, abolishes the effects of d-mannose on LPS-treated macrophage in vitro and eliminates its protection against osteolysis in vivo. Collectively, our results imply that d-mannose attenuates LPS-induced osteolysis by manipulating CPT1A-mediated lipid metabolism in macrophages. Our results disclose the unrecognized utilization of d-mannose as an effective intervention against inflammatory osteolysis and provide evidence to manage inflammatory scenarios by therapeutically targeting lipid metabolism in macrophage.

Abstract
Inflammatory osteolysis is a pathological skeletal disease associated with not only the production of inflammatory cytokines but also local oxidative status. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote bone resorption by osteoclasts and induce the apoptosis of osteoblasts. In consideration of the lack of effective preventive or treatments options against osteolysis, the exploitation of novel pharmacological compounds/agents is critically required. In our study, we found that a novel antioxidant compound, JSH-23, plays a role in restoring bone homeostasis by scavenging intracellular ROS during both osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. Mechanically, JSH-23 suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption and the expression of specific genes (including NFATc1, c-Fos, TRAP, CTSK and DC-STAMP) via inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Meanwhile, JSH-23 suppressed RANKL-induced ROS generation via the TRAF6/Rac1/NOX1 pathway and the enhanced expression of Nrf2/HO-1. In addition, JSH-23 attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis and mineralization reduction in osteoblasts by reducing ROS production and enhancing Nrf2/HO-1 expression. Our in vivo results further revealed that JSH-23 exerts its protective effects on bone mass through its antioxidant activity. In conclusion, our results show that the application of JSH-23 might be a novel and plausible strategy for the treatment of osteolysis-related disease.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is the main cause of low back pain. Notoginsenoside R1 (NR1) is widely applied in the treatment of bone disorders, including IVDD. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of NR1 on the development of IVDD and the potential mechanisms. AF puncture was performed to establish IVDD rat model. Histology changes were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. mRNA expressions were determined using qRT-PCR. Protein expressions were detected with western blot. Cellular functions were detected by MTT, EdU, flow cytometry, and TUNEL assays. The results showed that NR1 suppressed AF puncture induced IVDD, restored intervertebral disc (IVD) function, and suppressed mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. Moreover, NR1 promoted the release of extracellular matrix (ECM) in vivo and in vitro, and decreased the mRNA expressions of proinflammation cytokines. Additionally, NR1 inactivated NF-κB/NLRP3 pathways, improved cellular functions of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), and suppressed cell pyroptosis, which was reversed by NLRP3 activation. Taken together, NR1 may protect against IVDD via suppressing NF-κB/NLRP3 pathways. This may provide a novel therapy for IVDD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The benefit of Se supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been tested in clinical trials, but results remain inconclusive. The objective of this study was to specifically investigate the potential benefit of supranutritional Se by examining human samples from an area with supranutritional Se intake and testing a mouse model of RA. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from RA patients (N = 57) and healthy controls (HC, N = 71) from an area of supranutritional Se intake (Enshi, Hubei, China) were analysed by flow cytometry. Serum cytokine and Se levels were measured by cytometric beads array (CBA) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. With sufficient or supranutritional selenium intake, mice were induced with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and examined for disease activity and immunopathology. The influence of Se supplementation in the generation of RANKL-expressing osteoclastogenic CD4+ T cells was investigated by in vitro assays. RESULTS In Enshi city, HC showed the above-normal concentrations of serum Se concentrations while RA patients were enriched in the normal range (70-150 ng mL-1) or below. RA patients with higher Se levels demonstrated milder disease and lower levels of C-reactive protein, IL-6, RANKL and Th17 cells. In the mouse CIA model, supranutritional Se supplementation delayed disease onset, ameliorated joint pathology and reduced CD4+CD44+RANKL+ T cells. Se supplementation could suppress RANKL expression in cultured mouse Th17 cells. CONCLUSION Supranutritional Se suppresses RANKL-expressing osteoclastogenic CD4+ T cells and could be beneficial to RA, which warrants formal testing in randomised clinical trials.

Abstract
Macrophages are generally thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening through initiating periprosthetic inflammation and pathological bone resorption. The aim of this study was to identify macrophage-derived factors that promote osteoclast differentiation and periprosthetic bone destruction. To achieve this, we examined the effects of 12 macrophage-derived factors that were identified by RNA-seq analysis of stimulated macrophages on osteoclast differentiation. Surprisingly, thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) was found to trigger significant number of osteoclasts that exhibited resorbing activities on dentine slices. Functionally, TYMP knockdown reduced the number of osteoclasts in macrophages that had been stimulated with polyethylene debris. TYMP were detected in serum and synovial tissues of patients that had been diagnosed with aseptic loosening. Moreover, the administration of TYMP onto calvariae of mice induced pathological bone resorption that was accompanied by an excessive infiltration of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts. The RNA-seq for TYMP-induced-osteoclasts was then performed in an effort to understand action mode of TYMP. TYMP stimulation appeared to activate the tyrosine kinase FYN signaling associated with osteoclast formation. Oral administration of saracatinib, a FYN kinase inhibitor, significantly suppressed formation of bone osteolytic lesions in a polyethylene debris-induced osteolysis model. Our findings highlight a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention in periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Overwhelming evidence indicates that excessive stimulation of innate immune receptors of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family causes significant damage to multiple tissues, yet the role of these proteins in bone metabolism is not well known. Here, we studied the interaction between the NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes in bone homeostasis and disease. We found that loss of NLRP3 or NLRC4 inflammasome attenuated osteoclast differentiation in vitro. At the tissue level, lack of NLRP3, or NLRC4 to a lesser extent, resulted in higher baseline bone mass compared to wild-type (WT) mice, and conferred protection against LPS-induced inflammatory osteolysis. Bone mass accrual in mutant mice correlated with lower serum IL-1β levels in vivo. Unexpectedly, the phenotype of Nlrp3-deficient mice was reversed upon loss of NLRC4 as bone mass was comparable between WT mice and Nlrp3;Nlrc4 knockout mice. Thus, although bone homeostasis is perturbed to various degrees by the lack of NLRP3 or NLRC4, this tissue appears to function normally upon compound loss of the inflammasomes assembled by these receptors.

Abstract
The disruption of bone homeostasis with the decrease in osteoblastic bone formation and facilitated osteoclastic bone resorption is the leading cause of periprosthetic osteolysis. Accumulative studies have indicated that irisin has the function of maintaining and rebalancing bone homeostasis. In this study, we explored the protective effect of irisin on wear-particle-induced osteolysis in mice. The results showed that irisin effectively inhibited titanium (Ti) particle-induced calvarial osteolysis, supported by a lower bone loss and existence of more collagen, compared with the ones stressed by Ti particles. Further analysis demonstrated that irisin not only rescued Ti-particle-impaired osteogenesis derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) but also alleviated the increase in wear-particle-induced nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) secreted by BMSCs-derived osteoblasts, which consequently restrained the activation of osteoclasts. Meanwhile, irisin inhibited osteoclastogenesis by the direct inactivation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling. These results revealed that irisin functions to fight against osteolysis caused by wear particles through rebalancing the periprosthetic bone homeostasis microenvironment, which may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of osteolysis and induced prosthetic loosening.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology highlights the reciprocal interactions between the skeletal and immune systems. Over the past two decades, many molecules that link the two have been identified, including cytokines, receptors and transcription factors, leading to successful translation of research into therapeutic approaches to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The development of an intravital imaging system using multi-photon microscopy, combined with a variety of fluorescent probes and reporter mouse strains, has provided valuable insights into the real-time dynamics of osteoclasts and immune cells in the bone marrow. This technique is now applied to the synovial tissue of arthritic mice to investigate the pathogenesis of osteoimmune diseases and enables direct observation of complex biological phenomena in vivo. In addition, rapid progress in the next-generation sequencing technologies has provided important insights into the field of osteoimmunology through characterizing individual cells in the synovial microenvironment. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dissects cellular heterogeneity within a biological system and enables the identification of specific cells differentiating into mature osteoclasts within the previously defined "osteoclast precursor (OP)-containing population". In this review, we will explain the cellular interactions and cytokine milieu involved in inflammatory bone destruction and update how the novel technologies, such as scRNA-seq and intravital imaging, have contributed to better understand the pathogenesis of bone destruction in arthritis.

Abstract
Different types of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) of myeloid origin have been described; osteoclasts are the most extensively studied because of their importance in bone homeostasis. MGCs are formed by cell-to-cell fusion, and most types have been observed in pathological conditions, especially in infectious and non-infectious chronic inflammatory contexts. The precise role of the different MGCs and the mechanisms that govern their formation remain poorly understood, likely due to their heterogeneity. First, we will introduce the main populations of MGCs derived from the monocyte/macrophage lineage. We will then discuss the known molecular actors mediating the early stages of fusion, focusing on cell-surface receptors involved in the cell-to-cell adhesion steps that ultimately lead to multinucleation. Given that cell-to-cell fusion is a complex and well-coordinated process, we will also describe what is currently known about the evolution of F-actin-based structures involved in macrophage fusion, i.e., podosomes, zipper-like structures, and tunneling nanotubes (TNT). Finally, the localization and potential role of the key fusion mediators related to the formation of these F-actin structures will be discussed. This review intends to present the current status of knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms supporting multinucleation of myeloid cells, highlighting the gaps still existing, and contributing to the proposition of potential disease-specific MGC markers and/or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
As substantial constituents of the multiple myeloma (MM) microenvironment, pro-inflammatory macrophages have emerged as key promoters of disease progression, bone destruction, and immune impairment. We identify beta-2-microglobulin (β2m) as a driver in initiating inflammation in myeloma-associated macrophages (MAMs). Lysosomal accumulation of phagocytosed β2m promotes β2m amyloid aggregation in MAMs, resulting in lysosomal rupture and ultimately production of active interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18. This process depends on activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome after β2m accumulation, as macrophages from NLRP3-deficient mice lack efficient β2m-induced IL-1β production. Moreover, depletion or silencing of β2m in MM cells abrogates inflammasome activation in a murine MM model. Finally, we demonstrate that disruption of NLRP3 or IL-18 diminishes tumor growth and osteolytic bone destruction normally promoted by β2m-induced inflammasome signaling. Our results provide mechanistic evidence for β2m's role as an NLRP3 inflammasome activator during MM pathogenesis. Moreover, inhibition of NLRP3 represents a potential therapeutic approach in MM.

Abstract
Mineral homeostasis is regulated by a complex network involving endocrine actions by calcitriol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and FGF23 on several organs including kidney, intestine, and bone. Alterations of mineral homeostasis are found in chronic kidney disease and other systemic disorders. The interplay between the immune system and the skeletal system is not fully understood, but cytokines play a major role in modulating calcitriol production and function. One of the main cellular signaling pathways mediating cytokine function is the Janus kinase (JAK)--signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. Here, we used a mouse model (Jak1S645P+/- ) that resembles a constitutive activating mutation of the Jak1/Stat3 signaling pathway in humans, and shows altered mineral metabolism, with higher fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels, lower PTH levels, and higher calcitriol levels. The higher calcitriol levels are probably due to extrarenal calcitriol production. Furthermore, systemic Jak1/Stat3 activation led to growth impairment and skeletal alterations. The growth plate in long bones showed decreased chondrocyte proliferation rates and reduced height of terminal chondrocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Jak1 is also involved in bone remodeling early in life. Jak1S645P+/- animals have decreased bone and cortical volume, imbalanced bone remodeling, reduced MAP kinase signaling, and local inflammation. In conclusion, Jak1 plays a major role in bone health probably both, directly and systemically by regulating mineral homeostasis. Understanding the role of this signaling pathway will contribute to a better knowledge in bone growth and in mineral physiology, and to the development of selective Jak inhibitors as osteoprotective agents.

Abstract
Engineered biomaterials are envisioned to replace, augment, or interact with living tissues for improving the functional deformities associated with end-stage joint pathologies. Unfortunately, wear debris from implant interfaces is the major factor leading to periprosthetic osteolysis. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) populate the intimal lining of the synovium and are in direct contact with wear debris. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of Ti particles as wear debris on human FLSs and the mechanism by which they might participate in the bone remodeling process during periprosthetic osteolysis. FLSs were isolated from synovial tissue from patients, and the condition medium (CM) was collected after treating FLSs with sterilized Ti particles. The effect of CM was analyzed for the induction of osteoclastogenesis or any effect on osteogenesis and signaling pathways. The results demonstrated that Ti particles could induce activation of the NFκB signaling pathway and induction of COX-2 and inflammatory cytokines in FLSs. The amount of Rankl in the conditioned medium collected from Ti particle–stimulated FLSs (Ti CM) showed the ability to stimulate osteoclast formation. The Ti CM also suppressed the osteogenic initial and terminal differentiation markers for osteoprogenitors, such as alkaline phosphate activity, matrix mineralization, collagen synthesis, and expression levels of Osterix, Runx2, collagen 1α, and bone sialoprotein. Inhibition of the WNT and BMP signaling pathways was observed in osteoprogenitors after the treatment with the Ti CM. In the presence of the Ti CM, exogenous stimulation by WNT and BMP signaling pathways failed to stimulate osteogenic activity in osteoprogenitors. Induced expression of sclerostin (SOST: an antagonist of WNT and BMP signaling) in Ti particle–treated FLSs and secretion of SOST in the Ti CM were detected. Neutralization of SOST in the Ti CM partially restored the suppressed WNT and BMP signaling activity as well as the osteogenic activity in osteoprogenitors. Our results reveal that wear debris–stimulated FLSs might affect bone loss by not only stimulating osteoclastogenesis but also suppressing the bone-forming ability of osteoprogenitors. In the clinical setting, targeting FLSs for the secretion of antagonists like SOST might be a novel therapeutic approach for preventing bone loss during inflammatory osteolysis.

Abstract
Janus kinase (JAK)-mediated cytokine signaling has emerged as an important therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Accordingly, JAK inhibitors compose a new class of drugs, among which tofacitinib and baricitinib have been approved for the treatment of RA. Periarticular bone erosions contribute considerably to the pathogenesis of RA. However, although the immunomodulatory aspect of JAK inhibition (JAKi) is well defined, the current knowledge of how JAKi influences bone homeostasis is limited. Here, we assessed the effects of the JAK inhibitors tofacitinib and baricitinib on bone phenotype (i) in mice during steady-state conditions or in mice with bone loss induced by (ii) estrogen-deficiency (ovariectomy) or (iii) inflammation (arthritis) to evaluate whether effects of JAKi on bone metabolism require noninflammatory/inflammatory challenge. In all three models, JAKi increased bone mass, consistent with reducing the ratio of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand/osteoprotegerin in serum. In vitro, effects of tofacitinib and baricitinib on osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation were analyzed. JAKi significantly increased osteoblast function (P < 0.05) but showed no direct effects on osteoclasts. Additionally, mRNA sequencing and ingenuity pathway analyses were performed in osteoblasts exposed to JAKi and revealed robust up-regulation of markers for osteoblast function, such as osteocalcin and Wnt signaling. The anabolic effect of JAKi was illustrated by the stabilization of β-catenin. In humans with RA, JAKi induced bone-anabolic effects as evidenced by repair of arthritic bone erosions. Results support that JAKi is a potent therapeutic tool for increasing osteoblast function and bone formation.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is tightly controlled by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Fine tuning of the osteoclast-osteoblast balance results in strict synchronization of bone resorption and formation, which maintains structural integrity and bone tissue homeostasis; in contrast, dysregulated bone remodeling may cause pathological osteolysis, in which inflammation plays a vital role in promoting bone destruction. The alveolar bone presents high turnover rate, complex associations with the tooth and periodontium, and susceptibility to oral pathogenic insults and mechanical stress, which enhance its complexity in host defense and bone remodeling. Alveolar bone loss is also involved in systemic bone destruction and is affected by medication or systemic pathological factors. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the osteoimmunological mechanisms involved in the dysregulation of alveolar bone remodeling. The inflammasome is a supramolecular protein complex assembled in response to pattern recognition receptors and damage-associated molecular patterns, leading to the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of inflammatory responses. Pyroptosis downstream of inflammasome activation also facilitates the clearance of intracellular pathogens and irritants. However, inadequate or excessive activity of the inflammasome may allow for persistent infection and infection spreading or uncontrolled destruction of the alveolar bone, as commonly observed in periodontitis, periapical periodontitis, peri-implantitis, orthodontic tooth movement, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, nonsterile or sterile osteomyelitis of the jaw, and osteoporosis. In this review, we present a framework for understanding the role and mechanism of canonical and noncanonical inflammasomes in the pathogenesis and development of etiologically diverse diseases associated with alveolar bone loss. Inappropriate inflammasome activation may drive alveolar osteolysis by regulating cellular players, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes, periodontal ligament cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, and adaptive immune cells, such as T helper 17 cells, causing increased osteoclast activity, decreased osteoblast activity, and enhanced periodontium inflammation by creating a pro-inflammatory milieu in a context- and cell type-dependent manner. We also discuss promising therapeutic strategies targeting inappropriate inflammasome activity in the treatment of alveolar bone loss. Novel strategies for inhibiting inflammasome signaling may facilitate the development of versatile drugs that carefully balance the beneficial contributions of inflammasomes to host defense.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory osteolysis after total joint replacement (TJR) may cause implant failure, periprosthetic fractures, and be a severe threat to global public health. Our previous studies demonstrated that melatonin had a therapeutic effect on wear-particles induced osteolysis. Gut microbiota is closely related to bone homeostasis, and has been proven to be affected by melatonin. However, whether melatonin could play its anti-osteolysis effects through reprogramming gut microbiota remains elusive. RESULTS Here, we demonstrated that melatonin could alleviate Ti-particles induced osteolysis, while this therapeutic effect was blocked by antibiotic cocktail treatment. Interestingly, transplantation of fecal microbiota from mice treated with melatonin reappeared the same beneficial effect. Analysis of the 16S rRNA revealed that melatonin could reverse dysbacteriosis triggered by osteolysis, and elevate the relative abundance of some short chain fatty acid (SCFA) producing bacteria. Moreover, butyrate was enriched by exogenous melatonin administration, while acetate and propionate did not show an evident difference. This was consistent with the results of the metagenomic approach (PICRUSt2) analysis, which revealed a general increase in the synthetic enzymes of butyrate. More importantly, direct supplementation of butyrate could also recapitulate the anti-osteolysis effect of melatonin. Further analysis identified that butyrate alleviated osteolysis via activating its receptor GPR109A, and thus to suppress the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome triggered by Ti-particles. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results suggested that the benefits of melatonin mainly depend on the ability of modulating gut microbiota and regulating butyrate production.

Abstract
Bacterial products can stimulate inflammatory reaction and activate immune cells to enhance the production of inflammatory cytokines, and finally promote osteoclasts recruitment and activity, leading to bone destruction. Unfortunately, effective preventive and treatment measures for inflammatory osteolysis are limited and usually confuse the orthopedist. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), the main extractive of Astragali Radix, has been widely used for treating inflammatory diseases. In the current study, in vitro and in vivo experimental results demonstrated that APS notably inhibited osteoclast formation and differentiation dose-dependently. Moreover, we found that APS down-regulated RANKL-related osteoclastogenesis and levels of osteoclast marker genes, such as NFATC1, TRAP, c-FOS and cathepsin K. Further underlying mechanism investigation revealed that APS attenuated activity of MAPK signalling pathways (eg ERK, JNK and p38) and ROS production induced by RANKL. Additionally, APS was also found to suppress LPS-related inflammatory osteolysis by decreasing inflammatory factors' production in vivo. Overall, our findings demonstrate that APS effectively down-regulates inflammatory osteolysis due to osteoclast differentiation and has the potential to become an effective treatment of the disorders associated with osteoclast.

Abstract
Macrophage activation and osteoclastogenesis are hallmarks of inflammatory osteolysis and may be targeted by the local application of liquid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Liquid PRF is produced by a hard spin of blood in the absence of clot activators and anticoagulants, thereby generating an upper platelet-poor plasma (PPP) layer, a cell-rich buffy coat layer (BC; termed concentrated-PRF or C-PRF), and the remaining red clot (RC) layer. Heating PPP has been shown to generate an albumin gel (Alb-gel) that when mixed back with C-PRF generates Alb-PRF having extended working properties when implanted in vivo. Evidence has demonstrated that traditional solid PRF holds a potent anti-inflammatory capacity and reduces osteoclastogenesis. Whether liquid PRF is capable of also suppressing an inflammatory response and the formation of osteoclasts remains open. In the present study, RAW 264.7 and primary macrophages were exposed to lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lactoferrin, and agonists of Toll-like receptors (TLR3 and TLR7) in the presence or absence of lysates prepared by freeze-thawing of liquid PPP, BC, Alb-gel, and RC. For osteoclastogenesis, primary macrophages were exposed to receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and human transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the presence or absence of PPP, BC, Alb-gel, RC lysates and hemoglobin. We show here that it is mainly the lysates prepared from PPP and BC that consistently reduced the agonist-induced expression of interleukin 6 (IL6) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) in macrophages, as determined by RT-PCR and immunoassay. With respect to osteoclastogenesis, lysates from PPP and BC but also from RC, similar to hemoglobin, reduced the expression of osteoclast marker genes tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K, as well as TRAP histochemical staining. These findings suggest that liquid PRF holds a potent in vitro heat-sensitive anti-inflammatory activity in macrophages that goes along with an inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
An alarming increase in implant failure incidence due to microbial colonization on the administered orthopedic implants has become a horrifying threat to replacement surgeries and related health concerns. In essence, microbial adhesion and its subsequent biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and the host immune system's deficiency are the main culprits. An advanced class of biomaterials termed anti-infective hydrogel implant coatings are evolving to subdue these complications. On this account, this review provides an insight into the significance of anti-infective hydrogels for preventing orthopedic implant associated infections to improve the bone healing process. We briefly discuss the clinical course of implant failure, with a prime focus on orthopedic implants. We identify the different anti-infective coating strategies and hence several anti-infective agents which could be incorporated in the hydrogel matrix. The fundamental design criteria to be considered while fabricating anti-infective hydrogels for orthopedic implants will be discussed. We highlight the different hydrogel coatings based on the origin of the polymers involved in light of their antimicrobial efficacy. We summarize the relevant patents reported in the prevention of implant infections, including orthopedics. Finally, the challenges concerning the clinical translation of the aforesaid hydrogels are described, and considerable solutions for improved clinical practice and better future prospects are proposed.

Abstract
Infections of bone occur in a variety of clinical settings, ranging from spontaneous isolated infections arising from presumed hematogenous spread to those associated with skin and soft tissue wounds or medical implants. The majority are caused by the ubiquitous bacterium Staphyloccocus (S.) aureus, which can exist as a commensal organism on human skin as well as an invasive pathogen, but a multitude of other microbes are also capable of establishing bone infections. While studies of clinical isolates and small animal models have advanced our understanding of the role of various pathogen and host factors in infectious osteomyelitis (iOM), many questions remain unaddressed. Thus, there are many opportunities to elucidate host-pathogen interactions that may be leveraged toward treatment or prevention of this troublesome problem. Herein, we combine perspectives from bone biology and microbiology and suggest that interdisciplinary approaches will bring new insights to the field. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) remains the key factor in implant failure and subsequent revision surgery and is mainly triggered by wear particles. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of osteoblastic differentiation is the most widespread incident affecting the interface of trabecular and loosening prostheses. Additionally, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by prosthetic particles. Sirtuin3, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase of mitochondria, regulates the function of mitochondria in diverse activities. However, whether SIRT3 can mitigate wear debris-induced osteolysis by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and enhancing osteogenesis has not been previously reported. Therefore, we investigated the role of SIRT3 during the process of titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis. We revealed that upregulated SIRT3 dramatically attenuated Ti particle-induced osteogenic inhibition through suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and improvement of osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we found that SIRT3 interference in the process of Ti particle-induced osteolysis relied on the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway. Collectively, these findings indicated that SIRT3 may serve as a rational new treatment against debris-induced PPO by deacetylase-dependent inflammasome attenuation. Effect of SIRT3 on rescued wear particles-induced osteogenic inhibition. Effect of SIRT3 on inhibited the activation of pyroptosis-related NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant pathogen causing osteomyelitis. Unfortunately, no immunotherapy exists to treat these very challenging and costly infections despite decades of research, and numerous vaccine failures in clinical trials. This lack of success can partially be attributed to an overreliance on murine models where the immune correlates of protection often diverge from that of humans. Moreover, S. aureus secretes numerous immunotoxins with unique tropism to human leukocytes, which compromises the targeting of immune cells in murine models. To study the response of human immune cells during chronic S. aureus bone infections, we engrafted non-obese diabetic (NOD)-scid IL2Rγnull (NSG) mice with human hematopoietic stem cells (huNSG) and analyzed protection in an established model of implant-associated osteomyelitis. The results showed that huNSG mice have increases in weight loss, osteolysis, bacterial dissemination to internal organs, and numbers of Staphylococcal abscess communities (SACs), during the establishment of implant-associated MRSA osteomyelitis compared to NSG controls (p < 0.05). Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry demonstrated greater human T cell numbers in infected versus uninfected huNSG mice (p < 0.05), and that T-bet+ human T cells clustered around the SACs, suggesting S. aureus-mediated activation and proliferation of human T cells in the infected bone. Collectively, these proof-of-concept studies underscore the utility of huNSG mice for studying an aggressive form of S. aureus osteomyelitis, which is more akin to that seen in humans. We have also established an experimental system to investigate the contribution of specific human T cells in controlling S. aureus infection and dissemination.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a highly successful Gram-positive pathogen capable of causing both superficial and invasive, life-threatening diseases. Of the invasive disease manifestations, osteomyelitis or infection of bone, is one of the most prevalent, with S. aureus serving as the most common etiologic agent. Treatment of osteomyelitis is arduous, and is made more difficult by the widespread emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains, the capacity of staphylococci to exhibit tolerance to antibiotics despite originating from a genetically susceptible background, and the significant bone remodeling and destruction that accompanies infection. As a result, there is a need for a better understanding of the factors that lead to antibiotic failure in invasive staphylococcal infections such as osteomyelitis. In this review article, we discuss the different non-resistance mechanisms of antibiotic failure in S. aureus. We focus on how bacterial niche and destructive tissue remodeling impact antibiotic efficacy, the significance of biofilm formation in promoting antibiotic tolerance and persister cell formation, metabolically quiescent small colony variants (SCVs), and potential antibiotic-protected reservoirs within the substructure of bone.

Abstract
Bone nonunion caused by bacterial infection accounts for bone fractures, bone trauma and bone transplantation surgeries. Severe consequences include delayed unions and amputation and result in functional limitations, work disability, and poor quality of life. However, the mechanism of bone nonunion remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to screen the miRNA biomarkers of bacterial bone infection and investigated whether miRNAs regulate the osteoblasts and thus contribute to bone nonunion. We established a miRNA-mRNA network based on high-throughput RNA sequencing to compare the model rabbits infected with Staphylococcus aureus with the control rabbits. After validation experiments, miRNA-331-3p and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) were found to be inversely correlated with the pathways of osteoblast mineralization and pathology of infected bone nonunion. In in vitro experiments, miRNA-331-3p was downregulated and FGF23 was upregulated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse calvarial osteoblasts. Further studies of the mechanism showed that mutated of putative miRNA-331-3p can bind to FGF23 3'-untranslated region sites. MiRNA-331-3p acted as an osteoblast mineralization promoter by directly targeting FGF23. Downregulation of miRNA-331-3p led to inhibition of osteoblast mineralization by regulating the DKK1/β-catenin mediated signaling. Thus, we established an improved animal model and identified new bone-related biomarkers in the infected bone nonunion. The miRNA-331-3p biomarker was demonstrated to regulate osteoblast mineralization by targeting FGF23. The novel mechanism can be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the infected bone nonunion and other inflammatory bone disorders.

Abstract
As populations age across the world, osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures are becoming the most prevalent degenerative bone diseases. More than 75 million patients suffer from osteoporosis in the USA, the EU and Japan. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the number of patients affected by osteoporosis will increase by a third by 2050. Although conventional therapies including bisphosphonates, calcitonin and oestrogen-like drugs can be used to treat degenerative diseases of the bone, they are often associated with serious side effects including the development of oesophageal cancer, ocular inflammation, severe musculoskeletal pain and osteonecrosis of the jaw.The use of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells/mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a possible alternative therapeutic approach to tackle osteoporosis while overcoming the limitations of traditional treatment options. However, osteoporosis can cause a decrease in the numbers of MSCs, induce their senescence and lower their osteogenic differentiation potential.Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an emerging technology that allows a more physiological expansion and differentiation of stem cells compared to cultivation on conventional flat systems.This review will discuss current understanding of the effects of different 3D cell culture systems on proliferation, viability and osteogenic differentiation, as well as on the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory potential of MSCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in macrophages exposed to ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or vitamin E-blended UHMWPE (VE-UHMWPE) particles, thereby providing potential targets for the treatment of inflammatory osteolysis. METHODS The GSE104589 dataset of genome expression in macrophages exposed to UHMWPE and VE-UHMWPE was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID, and the corresponding protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed from the STRING database. Important modules were selected using the molecular complex detection algorithm, and hub genes were identified in cytoHubba. MicroRNAs targeting these DEGs were obtained from the TarBase, miRTarBase, and miRecords databases, while transcription factors (TFs) targeting DEGs were predicted from the ENCODE database. Finally, the top five DEGs were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS A total of 112 DEGs (44 upregulated and 68 downregulated DEGs) were screened. Immune and inflammatory responses were significantly related in gene ontology analysis, and 18 signaling pathways were enriched according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. The PPI network involving 85 nodes and 266 protein pairs indicated that IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5 and CCL4 showed higher degrees. qRT-PCR analysis of the top five DEGs revealed a decreasing trend in the VE-UHMWPE group compared with the UHMWPE group. Key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) were predicted to be correlated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory osteolysis through microRNA-TF regulatory network analysis. CONCLUSION The present study helps shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in the wear-induced inflammatory process after blending vitamin E with UHMWPE. Hub genes including IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5, and CCL4, key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) may serve as prognostic and therapeutic targets of inflammatory osteolysis.

Abstract
Purpose Infection following total hip arthroplasty is a challenging and devastating complication. In two-stage revision arthroplasty, antibiotic spacers, although efficacious, can be associated with an unacceptable rate of mechanical complications (e.g., fracture, dislocation). This series describes 15 patients with infected total hip prostheses treated with hybrid cement-screw fixation constrained liner antibiotic spacers to enhance stability and minimize mechanical complications. Materials and Methods All patients with an infected hip prosthesis undergoing two-stage revision arthroplasty at a single academic medical center were identified and screened for inclusion. Clinical and radiographic data including patient demographics and outcome measures were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results Two patients died of unrelated causes at an average of 6-week postoperatively. Infections in the remaining thirteen patients (100%) were successfully eradicated; all underwent uncomplicated revision arthroplasty at a mean duration of 99.5 days after the placement of the antibiotic spacer. No dislocations, fractures, or other mechanical failures of any spacer were observed in this series. Conclusion The hybrid cement-screw fixation technique for constrained liner antibiotic spacers is a reliable and effective treatment method for eradicating prosthetic joint infections without mechanical complications.

Tetrandrine Inhibits Titanium Particle-Induced Inflammatory Osteolysis through the Nuclear Factor- κB Pathway. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:1926947. [PMID: 33312069 PMCID: PMC7719528 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1926947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 11/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Peri-implant osteolysis (PIO) and the subsequent aseptic loosening are the main reasons for artificial joint implant failure. Existing methods for treating aseptic loosening are far from satisfactory, necessitating advanced drug exploration. This study is aimed at investigating the effect and underlying mechanism of tetrandrine (Tet) on inflammatory osteolysis. We established a Ti particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis mouse model and administered Tet or an equal volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Two weeks later, specimens were collected. Histological staining showed that Tet administration inhibited Ti-stimulated osteolysis. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that osteoclast formation was remarkably inhibited in the groups treated with Tet in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, relevant inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6) were also significantly reduced in the calvaria of the Tet-treated groups. Exposure of receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand- (RANKL-) induced bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and RAW264.7 cells to Tet significantly reduced osteoclast formation, F-actin ring formation, bone resorption, and the expression of relevant genes (matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), TRAP, and nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1)) during osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Mechanistic studies using Western blotting demonstrated that Tet inhibited the nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway by decreasing the phosphorylation of inhibitor of NF-κB α (IκBα) and p65, which play important roles in osteoclast formation. Collectively, our data indicate that Tet suppressed Ti-induced inflammatory osteolysis and osteoclast formation in mice, suggesting that Tet has the potential to be developed to treat and prevent wear particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis.

TGF-β in the Secretome of Irradiated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Supports In Vitro Osteoclastogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228569. [PMID: 33202935 PMCID: PMC7696998 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoclastogenesis required for bone remodeling is also a key pathologic mechanism of inflammatory osteolysis being controlled by paracrine factors released from dying cells. The secretome of irradiated, dying peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has a major impact on the differentiation of myeloid cells into dendritic cells, and macrophage polarization. The impact on osteoclastogenesis, however, has not been reported. For this aim, we used murine bone marrow macrophages exposed to RANKL and M-CSF to initiate osteoclastogenesis, with and without the secretome obtained from γ-irradiated PBMCs. We reported that the secretome significantly enhanced in vitro osteoclastogenesis as determined by means of histochemical staining of the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), as well as the expression of the respective target genes, including TRAP and cathepsin K. Considering that TGF-β enhanced osteoclastogenesis, we confirmed the TGF-β activity in the secretome with a bioassay that was based on the increased expression of IL11 in fibroblasts. Neutralizing TGF-β by an antibody decreased the ability of the secretome to support osteoclastogenesis. These findings suggested that TGF-β released by irradiated PBMCs could enhance the process of osteoclastogenesis in vitro.

Abstract
Vitexin (apigenin-8-C-d-glucopyranoside) is a flavonoid isolated from natural sources. It has been employed as an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agent, and is used as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of illnesses. The present study investigated the effect of vitexin on osteoblast differentiation of C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells, MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast, mouse calvarial primary cells, and primary bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). RT-PCR and quantitative PCR demonstrated that vitexin increased mRNA expression of the osteogenic genes distal-less homeobox 5 (Dlx5) and Runxt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). Vitexin also increased the Dlx5 and Runx2 protein levels, Smad1/5/9 phosphorylation, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. In addition, vitexin increased Runx2-luciferase activity. Moreover, knockdown of Runx2 attenuated the increase in ALP activity induced by vitexin. These results demonstrate that vitexin enhances osteoblast differentiation via Runx2.

[PMID: 33114211 PMCID: PMC7660694 DOI: 10.3390/ma13214748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) is brittle and can break into fragments. Here, we examined whether DBBM fragments have an impact on mice calvarial bone during bone augmentation. DBBM was either randomly crushed (DBBM fragments) or left undisturbed (DBBM granules). Then, DBBM fragments or original DBBM granules were placed onto calvarial bone in 20 BALB/c mice. Following random allocation, ten mice received DBBM fragments and ten mice received original DBBM granules. After fourteen days of healing, micro computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis of the augmented sites were performed. The primary outcome was the porosity of the calvarial bone. The micro-CT analysis revealed that DBBM fragments failed to significantly change the porosity of the calvarial bone as compared with original DBBM granules, despite the slightly higher bone resorption in the DBBM fragment group, 10.3% (CI 6.3–11.6) versus 6.1% (CI 4.1–7.8, p = 0.355), respectively. The cortical bone volume was not altered by DBBM fragments as compared with original DBBM granules, i.e., 79.0% (CI 78.9–81.2) versus 81.5% (CI 80.1–83.3, p = 0.357), respectively. The DBBM fragment group revealed similar bone thickness values as compared with the DBBM granules group, i.e., 0.26 mm (CI 0.23–0.29) versus 0.25 mm (CI 0.22–0.27, p = 0.641), respectively. The histological evaluation supported the micro-CT observations, displaying minor signs of porosity and resorption. The particle-size distribution analysis confirmed a shift towards smaller particle sizes in the DBBM fragment group. These findings suggest that DBBM fragments behave similarly to original DBBM granules in terms of bone morphological changes at augmented sites.
