Nutrition 2021; 93:111428. [PMID: 34474186 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2021.111428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Skeletal muscle loss and osteoporosis are major medical and socioeconomic concerns as the global population ages. Studies have reported that skeletal muscle mass correlates to bone mineral density (BMD). The psoas muscle index (PMI), measured as the L3 cross-sectional areas of the right and left psoas divided by the square of height, has a positive correlation with the total volume of skeletal muscle in the body. This study aimed to evaluate relationships between PMI and BMD and fracture risk estimated by the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). METHODS Preoperatively acquired, plain computed tomography images at the L3 level were used to measure PMI in 87 people with degenerative spinal diseases. We evaluated the correlation between PMI and BMD and fracture risk estimated by FRAX. RESULTS PMI was significantly correlated with BMD in the entire lumbar spine and femoral neck (r = 0.413 and 0.525, both P < 0.001). People with osteoporosis showed significantly lower PMI than those without (P < 0.05). PMI was also significantly correlated with FRAX score (r = -0.545, P < 0.001). Furthermore, based on the recommendation of osteoporosis treatment, participants were divided into two groups: FRAX ≥15% (R group) and FRAX <15% (C group). The R group showed significantly lower PMI than the C group (P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that PMI has moderate accuracy in diagnosing osteoporosis and FRAX ≥15%. CONCLUSIONS PMI was significantly associated with BMD and fracture risk. PMI measurement is straightforward and may increase the diagnosis rate of osteoporosis and fracture risk.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2021; 97:104505. [PMID: 34450404 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2021.104505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the role of the LINC00370/miR-222-3p/RGS4 axis in modulating the process of adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) osteogenic differentiation. METHODS We first evaluated the differential expression of LINC00370, miR-222-3p and RGS4 between normal and osteogenically induced ADSCs. Moreover, we transfected ADSCs with LINC00370 siRNA and an miR-222-3p inhibitor to determine the role of LINC00370 in modulating the process of ADSC osteogenic differentiation. Finally, we analyzed the dual-luciferase reporter gene to identify the relationship between LINC00370 and miR-222-3p. We first created osteoporotic rat models by ovariectomy (OVX) and treated with pcDNA-LINC00370. HE and immunohistochemical staining of OCN were performed to assess the changes in bone microarchitecture. RESULTS LINC00370 and RGS4 expression was remarkably upregulated in the osteogenic ADSC group compared with the normal medium group. On the other hand, miR-222-3p expression was remarkably decreased in the osteogenic group compared with the normal medium group. Knockdown of LINC00370 reduced the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Moreover, the inhibitor of miR-222-3p partially reversed the reduction of osteogenic differentiation by LINC00370 knockdown. Knockdown of LINC00370 reduced the expression of p-Akt and p-PI3K. The inhibitor of miR-222-3p partially reversed the reduction of the expression of p-Akt and p-PI3K by LINC00370 knockdown. A dual luciferase reporter assay indicated that LINC00370 can directly bind miR-222-3p. LINC00370 suppressed OP progression in OVX and partially upregulated OCN protein expression. CONCLUSION Collectively, the above results confirm that LINC00370 promotes the process of ADSC osteogenic differentiation via the miR-222-3p/RGS4 axis. Moreover, LINC00370 could protect against OVX-induced OP.

Abstract
Metal ions are important trace elements in the human body, which directly affect the human metabolism and the regeneration of damaged tissues. For instance, the advanced combination of magnesium ions (Mg2+) and bone repair materials make the composite materials have the function of promoting vascular repair and enhancing the adhesion of osteoblasts. Herein, inspired by magnets to attract metals, we utilized the coordination reaction of metal ion ligand to construct a bisphosphonate-functionalized injectable hydrogel microsphere (GelMA-BP-Mg) which could promote cancellous bone reconstruction of osteoporotic bone defect via capturing Mg2+. By grafting bisphosphonate (BP) on GelMA microspheres, GelMA-BP microspheres could produce powerful Mg2+ capture ability and sustained release performance through coordination reaction, while sustained release BP has bone-targeting properties. In the injectable GelMA-BP-Mg microsphere system, the atomic percentage of captured Mg2+ was 0.6%, and the captured Mg2+ could be effectively released for 18 days. These proved that the composite microspheres could effectively capture Mg2+ and provided the basis for the composite microspheres to activate osteoblasts and endothelial cells and inhibit osteoclasts. Both in vivo and in vitro experimental results revealed that the magnet-inspired Mg2+-capturing composite microspheres are beneficial to osteogenesis and angiogenesis by stimulating osteoblasts and endothelial cells while restraining osteoclasts, and ultimately effectively promote cancellous bone regeneration. This study could provide some meaningful conceptions for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects on the basis of metal ions.

Physiologic Mechanical Stress Directly Induces Bone Formation by Activating Glucose Transporter 1 (Glut 1) in Osteoblasts, Inducing Signaling via NAD+-Dependent Deacetylase (Sirtuin 1) and Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2 (Runx2). Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:9070. [PMID: 34445787 PMCID: PMC8396442 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22169070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Mechanical stress is an important factor affecting bone tissue homeostasis. We focused on the interactions among mechanical stress, glucose uptake via glucose transporter 1 (Glut1), and the cellular energy sensor sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in osteoblast energy metabolism, since it has been recognized that SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, may function as a master regulator of the mechanical stress response as well as of cellular energy metabolism (glucose metabolism). In addition, it has already been demonstrated that SIRT1 regulates the activity of the osteogenic transcription factor runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). The effects of mechanical loading on cellular activities and the expressions of Glut1, SIRT1, and Runx2 were evaluated in osteoblasts and chondrocytes in a 3D cell-collagen sponge construct. Compressive mechanical loading increased osteoblast activity. Mechanical loading also significantly increased the expression of Glut1, significantly decreased the expression of SIRT1, and significantly increased the expression of Runx2 in osteoblasts in comparison with non-loaded osteoblasts. Incubation with a Glut1 inhibitor blocked mechanical stress-induced changes in SIRT1 and Runx2 in osteoblasts. In contrast with osteoblasts, the expressions of Glut1, SIRT1, and Runx2 in chondrocytes were not affected by loading. Our present study indicated that mechanical stress induced the upregulation of Glut1 following the downregulation of SIRT1 and the upregulation of Runx2 in osteoblasts but not in chondrocytes. Since SIRT1 is known to negatively regulate Runx2 activity, a mechanical stress-induced downregulation of SIRT1 may lead to the upregulation of Runx2, resulting in osteoblast differentiation. Incubation with a Glut1 inhibitor the blocked mechanical stress-induced downregulation of SIRT1 following the upregulation of Runx2, suggesting that Glut1 is necessary to mediate the responses of SIRT1 and Runx2 to mechanical loading in osteoblasts.

Vertebral bone marrow T2* mapping using chemical shift encoding-based water-fat separation in the quantitative analysis of lumbar osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. Quant Imaging Med Surg 2021; 11:3715-3725. [PMID: 34341744 PMCID: PMC8245952 DOI: 10.21037/qims-20-1373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemical shift encoding-based water-fat separation techniques have been used for fat quantification [proton density fat fraction (PDFF)], but they also enable the assessment of bone marrow T2*, which has previously been reported to be a potential biomarker for osteoporosis and may give insight into the cause of vertebral fractures (i.e., osteoporotic vs. traumatic) and the microstructure of the bone when applied to vertebral bone marrow. METHODS The 32 patients (78.1% with low-energy osteopenic/osteoporotic fractures, mean age 72.3±9.8 years, 76% women; 21.9% with high-energy traumatic fractures, 47.3±12.8 years, no women) were frequency-matched for age and sex to subjects without vertebral fractures (n=20). All study patients underwent 3T-MRI of the lumbar spine including sagittally acquired spoiled gradient echo sequences for chemical shift encoding-based water-fat separation, from which T2* values were obtained. Volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone parameters describing the three-dimensional structural integrity of trabecular bone were derived from quantitative CT. Associations between T2* measurements, fracture status and trabecular bone parameters were assessed using multivariable linear regression models. RESULTS Mean T2* values of non fractured vertebrae in all patients showed a significant correlation with BMD (r=-0.65, P<0.001), trabecular number (TbN) (r=-0.56, P<0.001) and trabecular spacing (TbSp) (r=0.61, P<0.001); patients with low-energy osteoporotic vertebral fractures showed significantly higher mean T2* values than those with traumatic fractures (13.6±4.3 vs. 8.4±2.2 ms, P=0.01) as well as a significantly lower TbN (0.69±0.08 vs. 0.93±0.03 mm-1, P<0.01) and a significantly larger trabecular spacing (1.06±0.16 vs. 0.56±0.08 mm, P<0.01). Mean T2* values of osteoporotic patients with and without vertebral fracture showed no significant difference (13.5±3.4 vs. 15.6±3.5 ms, P=0.40). When comparing the mean T2* of the fractured vertebrae, no significant difference could be detected between low-energy osteoporotic fractures and high-energy traumatic fractures (12.6±5.4 vs. 8.1±2.4 ms, P=0.10). CONCLUSIONS T2* mapping of vertebral bone marrow using using chemical shift encoding-based water-fat separation allows for assessing osteoporosis as well as the trabecular microstructure and enables a radiation-free differentiation between patients with low-energy osteoporotic and high-energy traumatic vertebral fractures, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for bone fragility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies reported that there is a relationship between volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and hemoglobin (HGB) in sickle cell anemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic kidney disease, it is not clear whether this association exists in normal populations or different genders. In order to further clarify the relationship between vBMD and HGB, and provide the basis for the diagnosis of related diseases, this study was conducted in the physical examination population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on a health check-up population from Wannan area of China from January to December 2018. The study involved 1238 individuals aged 23 to 85 years. Linear regression analysis and smooth curve were applied to determine the relationship of HGB and vBMD. RESULTS The average level of vBMD in the population was 130.11 ± 79.51 mg/cm3, after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). A U-shape relationship was established between vBMD and HGB, the cut off value of HGB was 130 g/L. After gender stratification, the results showed a U-shaped curve relationship between vBMD and HGB in male group, and a linear relationship between vBMD and HGB in female group. The vBMD decreased with HGB when HGB < 120 g/L, and increased when HGB ≥ 120 g/L in male group. CONCLUSION The relationship between vBMD and HGB in the male physical examination population presents a U-shaped curve.

The Improving Effect and Safety of Probiotic Supplements on Patients with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 10 Randomized Controlled Trials. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2021; 2021:9924410. [PMID: 34349831 PMCID: PMC8328694 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9924410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
AIM Probiotics are considered to be bone metabolism regulators, and their efficacy as an adjuvant treatment option for osteoporosis is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to compare the available data from randomized controlled trials (RCT) of probiotics in the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia. METHODS As of June 2021, databases such as Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Central Cochrane Library have been used for English-language literature searches and CNKI and China Biomedical Database have been used for Chinese-language literature searches. RevMan 5.3 was used for bias risk assessment, heterogeneity detection, and meta-analysis. This research has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020085934). RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis included 10 RCTs involving 1156. Compared with the placebo, the absolute value of lumbar spine's BMD was not statistically significant (WMD 0.04 (-0.00, 0.09), P=0.07, random effect model), while the percentage of lumbar spine's BMD was higher (SMD 1.16 (0.21, 2.12), P=0.02, random effect model). Compared with the control group, the percentage of total hip's BMD was not statistically significant (SMD 0.52 (-0.69, 1.73), P=0.40, random effect model). The safety analysis showed that, compared with control group, the adverse events in the experimental group were not statistically significant (RR 1.02 (0.92, 1.12), P=0.70, fixed effect model). CONCLUSION Probiotics may be safety supplements to improve the lumbar spine's BMD of patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia. More large-sample, random-controlled, high-quality RCTs are needed to further verify the effectiveness and safety of probiotics in intervening osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Role of Exosomal MicroRNAs and Their Crosstalk with Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6301433. [PMID: 34336108 PMCID: PMC8315851 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6301433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is an aging-related disease involving permanent bone tissue atrophy. Most patients with OP show high levels of oxidative stress (OS), which destroys the microstructure of bone tissue and promotes disease progression. Exosomes (exos) help in the delivery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and allow intercellular communication. In OP, exosomal miRNAs modulate several physiological processes, including the OS response. In the present review, we aim to describe how exosomal miRNAs and OS contribute to OP. We first summarize the relationship of OS with OP and then detail the features of exos along with the functions of exo-related miRNAs. Further, we explore the interplay between exosomal miRNAs and OS in OP and summarize the functional role of exos in OP. Finally, we identify the advantages of exo-based miRNA delivery in treatment strategies for OP. Our review seeks to improve the current understanding of the mechanism underlying OP pathogenesis and lay the foundation for the development of novel theranostic approaches for OP.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6108999. [PMID: 34327232 PMCID: PMC8302381 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6108999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Protocatechualdehyde (PCA), an important component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, has many activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antisepsis activities. However, the role of PCA in osteoclasts is not clear. We used RAW264.7 cells (a mouse leukemic monocyte/macrophage cell line) and bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) to probe the role of PCA in osteoclasts and the underlying mechanism. The effects of PCA on cell activity were evaluated with CCK-8 assays. TRAP staining detected mature osteoclasts. Corning Osteo Assay Surface plates were used to examine absorption. The levels of RNA and protein were analyzed, respectively, using RT-PCR and Western blotting. PCA (5 μg/ml) was not toxic to the two cell types but reduced the formation of osteoclasts and bone absorption. Furthermore, PCA restrained the expression of mRNAs encoding proteins associated with osteoclasts and reduced the phosphorylation of proteins in important signaling pathways. The results indicate that PCA inhibits osteoclast differentiation by suppressing NF-κB and MAPK activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis. The long-term therapy process and the heavy restriction to physical activities give rise to a psychological burden on osteoporotic fracture patients, especially older adult patients. Psychological nursing interventions significantly alleviate negative emotional reactions in cancer patients. This research aimed to investigate the function of psychological nursing interventions in the reduction of depression and anxiety and the improvement of quality of life in older adult patients with osteoporotic fracture. METHODS Osteoporotic fracture patients (n = 106) were divided into control group (n = 53) or intervention group (n = 53). In the control group, the participants were given conventional nursing care. In the intervention group, the participants were given psychological nursing interventions. Anxiety, depression, and quality of life were evaluated and compared between the two groups. RESULTS After 5 weeks of psychological nursing intervention, the anxiety and depression scores significantly decreased in the intervention group. The Mental Function in Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis score also decreased in the intervention group. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION Psychological nursing interventions alleviate anxiety and depression in older adult osteoporotic fracture patients and enhance their mental function.

Restoration of the intravertebral stability in Kümmell's disease following the treatment of severe postmenopausal osteoporosis by 1-34PTH-a retrospective study. Osteoporos Int 2021; 32:1451-1459. [PMID: 33471147 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-020-05761-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Following the 1-34PTH application for conservative treatment of Kümmell's disease, the intravertebral cleft was filled or bridged by the osseous tissue; the radiological evidence of further collapsing was absent. Pain and the neurological disorder were relieved; bone turnover markers, BMD as well as the health-related quality of life were improved. INTRODUCTION Kümmell's disease (KD) patients with severe osteoporosis were applied by the 1-34PTH; the fracture union and the increased bone mineral density (BMD) following this treatment were retrospectively reviewed. METHODS Twenty-one postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) patients with KD received at least 6 months of 1-34PTH treatment. The medical records, including clinical evaluation symptoms, radiological evaluation for bone union and the stability of intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC), BMD, and laboratory examination for osteoporosis recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), were reviewed. RESULTS From baseline to month 12, visual analog scale decreased from 8.24 ± 0.54 to 1.71 ± 0.56 (P < 0.001) and the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scores increased from 6.86 ± 1.77 to 10.43 ± 1.29 (P < 0.001). Sagittal CT demonstrated that the IVC was filled or bridged by the osseous tissue in all patients. Within the vertebra, the IVC area (IVCA) decreased from 4.50 ± 2.50 to 0 mm2 (P = 0.001) and the mineralized bone area (MBA) increased from 170.91 ± 102.23 to 259.56 ± 98.60 mm2 (P < 0.001). The area ratio of IVC to vertebra decreased from 0.97 ± 0.46 to 0% (P < 0.001), and the area ratio of mineral bone to vertebra was increased from 32.85 ± 14.51 to 54.97 ± 14.01% (P < 0.001). The kyphosis angle increment was 3.43 ± 1.80°, and the loss rate of anterior border height was 11.14 ± 4.82%. No differences were found in posterior border height and spinal canal diameter. The PINP, β-CTx, BMD, and Short Form-36 Health Survey scores markedly increased. CONCLUSIONS In KD patients with severe PMOP, 1-34PTH treatment could alleviate the clinical evaluation symptoms, facilitate the recovery of the intravertebral stability, ameliorate the BMD, and improve the HRQoL.

J Gene Med 2021; 23:e3363. [PMID: 33991434 DOI: 10.1002/jgm.3363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) induce osteogenesis in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). This study aimed to explore the role of lncRNAs AC092155 in promoting osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. METHODS MicroRNA (miRNA) and lncRNA sequencing were performed in ADSCs that underwent normal or osteogenic induction. Differentially expressed miRNAs and lncRNAs were identified using R software. The relative expression levels of lncRNA AC092155, miR-143-3p, and STMN1 during the process of osteogenic induction were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ADSCs were then transfected with agomiR-143-3p and pcDNA3.1-sh-lncRNA AC092155. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining (ARS) were used to confirm the regulatory function of the lncRNA AC092155/miR-143-3p/STMN1 axis in osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. RESULTS lncRNA AC092155 was significantly upregulated in ADSCs following induction in the osteogenic medium. lncRNA AC092155 and STMN1 mimics increase the markers of osteogenic differentiation in the early and late phases, which was reflected in increased ALP activity as well as the higher deposition of calcium nodules. An miR-143-3p mimic showed the opposite effect. Luciferase reporter gene analysis demonstrated that lncRNA AC092155 directly targets miR-143-3p. Moreover, the lncRNA AC092155/miR-143-3p/STMN1 regulatory axis was found to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS lncRNA AC092155 contributes to the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. The lncRNA AC092155/miR-143-3p/STMN1 axis may be a new therapeutic target for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a common disease in aging populations. However, osteoporosis treatment is still challenging. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of neohesperidin (NEO) in osteoporosis progression and the potential mechanism. Methods Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and treated with different concentrations of NEO (0, 10, 30, 100 M). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell count kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. RNA-sequencing was performed on the isolated BMSCs with control and NEO treatment. Differentially expressed genes were obtained by R software. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin red staining (ARS) were performed to assess the osteogenic capacity of the NEO. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of osteoblast markers. Western blot was used to evaluate the protein levels in BMSCs. Results NEO treatment significantly improved hBMSC proliferation at different time points, particularly when cells were incubated with 30 M NEO (P < 0.05). NEO dose-dependently increased the ALP activity and calcium deposition than the control group (P < 0.05). A total of 855 differentially expressed genes were identified according to the significance criteria of log2 (fold change) > 1 and adj P < 0.05. DKK1 partially reversed the promotion effects of NEO on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. NEO increased levels of the -catenin protein in BMSCs. Conclusion NEO plays a positive role in promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which was related with activation of Wnt/-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to explore the correlation between the SRY-related high-mobility-group box gene 4 (SOX4) 3′ untranslated region (UTR) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and osteoporosis susceptibility. Methods The study recruited 330 osteoporosis patients (the case group) and 330 non-osteoporosis patients (the control group) in Sichuan Chengdu First People’s Hospital and Zibo Central Hospital from August 2016 to August 2019. Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the genotypes of SOX4 gene rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 loci. Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze the interaction between the SOX4 gene rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 loci and the clinical characteristics of the subjects. Results The risk of osteoporosis in the carriers of A allele at SOX4 rs79958549 was 5.40 times that in the carriers of the G allele (95% CI 3.25–8.96, P < 0.01). The risk of osteoporosis in the carriers of the A allele at SOX4 rs139085828 was 1.68 times that in the carriers of the G allele (95% CI 1.45–1.85, P < 0.01). The risk of osteoporosis in the carriers of the T allele at SOX4 rs201335371 was 0.54 times that in the carriers of the C allele (95% CI 0.43–0.69, P < 0.01). The SOX4 gene rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 A-A-C haplotype (OR = 5.14, 95% CI 2.45–10.57, P < 0.01) were associated with increased risk of osteoporosis and G-G-T haplotype was significantly associated with decreased risk of osteoporosis (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.38–0.62, P < 0.01). The interaction among the factors of sex, smoking, drinking, rs79958549, rs201335371 was the best model for osteoporosis prediction, and the risk for osteoporosis in ‘high-risk combination’ was 2.74 times that of ‘low-risk combination’ (95% CI 1.01–7.43, P = 0.04). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk factors for osteoporosis were BMD (OR = 5.85, 95% CI 2.88–8.94, P < 0.01), T score (OR = 8.54, 95% CI 5.66–10.49, P < 0.01), Z score (OR = 3.77, 95% CI 2.15–8.50, P < 0.01), rs79958549 SNP (OR = 6.92, 95% CI 3.58–8.93, P < 0.01), and rs139085828 SNP (OR = 2.36, 95% CI 1.85–4.27, P < 0.01). The protective factor for osteoporosis was rs201335371SNP (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.32–0.75, P < 0.01). Conclusion The SOX4 gene SNPs rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 loci were significantly associated with osteoporosis risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disorder worldwide. This review was undertaken to compare the efficacies of bisphosphonates therapies for patient persistence and compliance for the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with the available reporting items. MEDLINE and Cochrane library databases were applied for literature searched up to January 2020. All major studies such as prospective, retrospective and reviews articles that examined patient persistence or compliance to bisphosphonates for osteoporosis were included. RESULTS Literature search found 656 relevant published reports, out of which 87 were included. The 10,712,176 osteoporotic patients were studied for patient persistence and 5,875,718 patients were studied for patient compliances. Analysis of all studied bisphosphonates showed almost similar patterns for patient persistence rates as it was decreased over the time following initial prescription but persistence length was found to be significantly high for alendronate therapy as compared to the other studied bisphosphonates (p<0.001), whereas the length of persistence of all other bisphosphonates (other than alendronate) were almost same (p>0.05). Analysis of patient compliances with etidronate therapy showed the highest percent medication possession ratio (MRP) at 12 months, followed by the MRPs of ibandronate, alendronate, risedronate, and clodronate. CONCLUSIONS This is the first systematic review that shows the comparison of the efficiencies of bisphosphonates for patient persistence and compliance for the treatment of osteoporosis. The data showed that the length of patient persistence was highest for alendronate therapy, whereas patient compliance was highest for etidronate therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Different Training Durations and Frequencies of Tai Chi for Bone Mineral Density Improvement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:6665642.

Abstract
Objective Tai Chi shows potential as a safe and cost-effective intervention to improve bone mineral density (BMD). However, the various effects caused by different training durations and frequencies have not been evaluated. This updated systematic review aims to explore the effectiveness of Tai Chi in attenuating bone mineral density loss based on different training durations and frequencies. Methods We conducted an extensive database search in Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, Wanfang Data, and China Science and Technology Journal Database on randomized controlled trials that examined Tai Chi for BMD improvement. Two reviewers independently performed data screening and extraction. Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results A total of 23 randomized controlled trials involving 1582 patients were identified. The aggregated results have shown significant benefits in favor of Tai Chi on BMD improvement in the lumbar spine (SMD = 0.36, 95% [0.13, 0.59], P=0.002), femoral neck (SMD = 0.40, 95% [0.16, 0.63], P=0.0009), femoral trochanter (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI [0.20, 0.66], P=0.0002), and Ward's triangle (SMD = 0.31, 95% [0.15, 0.48], P=0.002). Such favorable benefits in Tai Chi can only be seen when compared with the nonexercise group, and Tai Chi showed no significant improvement in BMD change when compared with other exercises group. Subgroup analyses showed various effects of BMD improvement based on different training durations and frequencies of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is effective in attenuating BMD loss with an intervention frequency of >4 days/week in the lumbar spine, with an intervention frequency of >4 days/week or an intervention duration of >10 months in the femoral neck, and with an intervention duration of >10 months or a frequency of ≤4 days/week in Ward's triangle. Conclusions The results demonstrated that Tai Chi may have benefits in attenuating BMD loss. Different training durations and frequencies may result in variable effectiveness. Researchers should focus more on the training durations and frequencies of Tai Chi so that a more definitive claim can be made regarding the beneficial effects for BMD improvement.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are widely used biomaterials, but they lack osteogenic capability for rapid bone integration. To improve osseointegration of Ti implants, TiO2 nanotubes were prepared using the anodizing oxidation technique, and strontium (Sr) combined with icariin (ICA) was loaded on TiO2 nanotube coatings. Cell adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization of extracellular matrix, and bone formation around titanium implants in ovariectomized rats, were examined separately. The results showed that compared with pure Ti, TiO2 and Sr-loaded TiO2 coatings, the coatings loaded with both Sr and ICA showed better effect on cell adhesion and proliferation, higher ALP activity and more red-stained mineralized nodules. Furthermore, more bone was formed around implants loaded with both Sr and ICA in osteoporotic rats. Therefore, coating with Sr and ICA is valuable for clinical application to strengthen the osseointegration of titanium implants, especially in osteoporotic patients.

SPTBN1 Prevents Primary Osteoporosis by Modulating Osteoblasts Proliferation and Differentiation and Blood Vessels Formation in Bone. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:653724. [PMID: 33816505 PMCID: PMC8017174 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.653724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal disorder that leads to increased bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Although βII-Spectrin (SPTBN1) has been reported to be involved in the development of various human cancers, the function and underlying molecular mechanisms of SPTBN1 in primary osteoporosis remain unclear. In this study, we first established a primary osteoporosis mouse model of senile osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis. The results showed that the expression of SPTBN1 was significantly downregulated in primary osteoporosis mice model compared with the control group. Furthermore, silencing of SPTBN1 led to a decrease in bone density, a small number of trabecular bones, wider gap, decreased blood volume fraction and number of blood vessels, as well as downregulation of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix (Osx), Osteocalcin (Ocn), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in primary osteoporosis mice model compared with the control group. Besides, the silencing of SPTBN1 inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis of mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells compared with the negative control group. Moreover, the silencing of SPTBN1 significantly increased the expression of TGF-β, Cxcl9, and the phosphorylation level STAT1 and Smad3 in MC3T3-E1 cells compared with the control group. As expected, overexpression of SPTBN1 reversed the effect of SPTBN1 silencing in the progression of primary osteoporosis both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these results suggested that SPTBN1 suppressed primary osteoporosis by facilitating the proliferation, differentiation, and inhibition of apoptosis in osteoblasts via the TGF-β/Smad3 and STAT1/Cxcl9 pathways. Besides, overexpression of SPTBN1 promoted the formation of blood vessels in bone by regulating the expression of VEGF. This study, therefore, provided SPTBN1 as a novel therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:150. [PMID: 33610167 PMCID: PMC7896384 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02284-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts on osteogenic induction of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) following peroxidative damage and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods Conditioned medium was used to induce osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which were treated with H2O2, Moringa oleifera leaf extracts-containing serum, or the phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin, alone or in combination. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. Cell cycle was assayed using flow cytometry. Expression levels of Akt, phosphorylated (p)Akt, Foxo1, and cleaved caspase-3 were analyzed using western blot analysis. The mRNA levels of osteogenesis-associated genes, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen І, osteopontin (OPN), and Runx2, were detected using qRT-PCR. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and ALP activity were detected using commercially available kits. Osteogenic differentiation capability was determined using alizarin red staining. Results During osteogenic induction of rat BMSCs, H2O2 reduced cell viability and proliferation, inhibited osteogenesis, increased ROS and MDA levels, and decreased SOD and GSH-PX activity. H2O2 significantly reduced pAkt and Foxo1 expression, and increased cleaved caspase-3 levels in BMSCs. Additional treatments with Moringa oleifera leaf extracts partially reversed the H2O2-induced changes. Wortmannin partially attenuated the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts on protein expression of Foxo1, pAkt, and cleaved caspase-3, as well as mRNA levels of osteogenesis-associated genes. Conclusion Moringa oleifera leaf extracts ameliorate peroxidative damage and enhance osteogenic induction of rat BMSCs by activating the PI3K/Akt/Foxo1 pathway.

Abstract
The present study aimed to identify the trends in research on accidental falls in older adults over the last decade. The MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) and entry terms were applied in the Web of Science Core Collection. Relevant studies in English within articles or reviews on falls in older adults were included from 2010 to 2020. Moreover, CiteSpace 5.6.R5 (64-bit) was adopted for analysis with scientific measurements and visualization. Cooper Cyrus, Stephen R Lord, Minoru Yamada, Catherine Sherrington, and others have critically impacted the study of falls in older adults. Osteoporosis, dementia, sarcopenia, hypertension, osteosarcopenia, traumatic brain injury, frailty, depression, and fear of falling would be significantly correlated with falls in older adults. Multiple types of exercise can provide effective improvements in executive cognitive performance, gait performance, quality of life, and can also lower the rates of falls and fall-related fractures. Fall detection, hospitalization, classification, symptom, gender, and cost are the current research focus and development direction in research on falls in older adults. The prevention of falls in older adults is one of the most important public health issues in today’s aging society. Although lots of effects and research advancements had been taken, fall prevention still is uncharted territory for too many older adults. Service improvements can exploit the mentioned findings to formulate policies, and design and implement exercise programs for fall prevention.

Reliability of a Risk-Factor Questionnaire for Osteoporosis: A Primary Care Survey Study with Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Ground Truth. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18031136. [PMID: 33525339 PMCID: PMC7908374 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18031136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
(1) Purpose: Predisposing factors to osteoporosis (OP) as well as dual-source x-ray densitometry (DXA) steer therapeutic decisions by determining the FRAX index. This study examines the reliability of a standard risk factor questionnaire in OP-screening. (2) Methods: n = 553 eligible questionnaires encompassed 24 OP-predisposing factors. Reliability was assessed using DXA as a gold standard. Multiple logistic regression and Spearman's correlations, as well as the confounding influence of age and body mass index, were analyzed in SPSS (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA). (3) Results: Our study revealed low patient self-awareness regarding OP and its risk factors. One out of every four patients reported a positive history for osteoporosis not confirmed by DXA. The extraordinarily high incidence of rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid disorders likely reflect confusion with other diseases or health anxiety. FRAX-determining risk factors such as malnutrition, liver insufficiency, prior fracture without trauma, and glucocorticoid therapy did not correlate with increased OP incidence, altogether demonstrating how inaccurate survey information could influence therapeutic decisions on osteoporosis. (4) Conclusions: Contradictive results and a low level of patient self-awareness suggest a high degree of uncertainty and low reliability of the current OP risk factor survey.

Abstract
The control of the intracellular pH is vital for the survival of all organisms. Membrane transporters, both at the plasma and intracellular membranes, are key players in maintaining a finely tuned pH balance between intra- and extracellular spaces, and therefore in cellular homeostasis. V-ATPase is a housekeeping ATP-driven proton pump highly conserved among prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This proton pump, which exhibits a complex multisubunit structure based on cell type-specific isoforms, is essential for pH regulation and for a multitude of ubiquitous and specialized functions. Thus, it is not surprising that V-ATPase aberrant overexpression, mislocalization, and mutations in V-ATPase subunit-encoding genes have been associated with several human diseases. However, the ubiquitous expression of this transporter and the high toxicity driven by its off-target inhibition, renders V-ATPase-directed therapies very challenging and increases the need for selective strategies. Here we review emerging evidence linking V-ATPase and both inherited and acquired human diseases, explore the therapeutic challenges and opportunities envisaged from recent data, and advance future research avenues. We highlight the importance of V-ATPases with unique subunit isoform molecular signatures and disease-associated isoforms to design selective V-ATPase-directed therapies. We also discuss the rational design of drug development pipelines and cutting-edge methodological approaches toward V-ATPase-centered drug discovery. Diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, and even fungal infections can benefit from V-ATPase-directed therapies.

Abstract
Background More and more studies have confirmed that miRNAs play an important role in maintaining bone remodeling and bone metabolism. This study investigated the expression level of miR-206 in the serum of osteoporosis (OP) patients and explored the effect and mechanism of miR-206 on the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Methods 120 postmenopausal women were recruited, including 63 cases with OP and 57 women without OP. The levels of miR-206 were determined by qRT-PCR technology. Spearman correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation of miR-206 with bone mineral density (BMD). An ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-206 in osteoporosis. The effects of miR-206 on cell proliferation and cell apoptosis of hFOBs were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Luciferase reporter gene assay was used to confirm the interaction of miR-206 and the 3′UTR of HDAC4. Results Serum miR-206 had low expression level in osteoporosis patient group compared with control group. The expression level of serum miR-206 had diagnostic value for osteoporosis, and the serum miR-206 levels were positively correlated with BMD. The down-regulated miR-206 could inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis. Luciferase analysis indicated that HDAC4 was the target gene of miR-206. Conclusions MiR-206 could be used as a new potential diagnostic biomarker for osteoporosis, and in in vitro cell experiments, miR-206 may regulate osteoblast cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting HDAC4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE With high morbidity and disability, osteoporosis is a worldwide bone metabolism disease, regulated by complex pathological processes. Insufficient osteogenesis is greatly essential to osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine, a complex natural herbal medicine system, has increasingly attracted attention all over the world. Bugu Shengsui Decoction, a compound formula for osteoporosis, has significant clinical effects in the treatment of osteoporosis. Yet the detailed mechanisms are unclear. Thus, we investigated the effects and mechanism of Bugu Shengsui Decoction on osteoporotic rats and osteoblasts in vitro. METHODS In this study, we evaluated the effect of Bugu Shengsui Decoction in an animal model of orchiectomy. Multi-pharmacology indexes revealed that Bugu Shengsui Decoction obviously improved bone metabolism, bone mineral density, bone morphology, and biomechanics in the castrated rats. Then, serum pharmacology was employed to unveil that Bugu Shengsui Decoction promoted the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Moreover, quantitative proteomics combined with RNA interference assay was used to analyze and verify the pathway and key targets in pro-proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. RESULTS Bugu Shengsui Decoction obviously improved the worse parameters of bone metabolism, bone mineral density, bone morphology, and biomechanics in a castrated rat model. In vitro, Bugu Shengsui Decoction exerted proliferation- and differentiation-promoting effects of osteoblasts induced by serum starvation. Moreover, quantitative proteomics analysis combined with RNA interfere assay illustrated that Bugu Shengsui Decoction promoted osteogenesis via the PI3K-AKT pathway. CONCLUSION Summarily, our discoveries certify that Bugu Shengsui Decoction is an effective treatment for osteoporosis via PI3K-AKT. This study is not only a beneficial attempt to explore the detailed mechanism of Traditional Chinese formula but also will provide inspiration for the treatment strategy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a growing healthcare burden. By identifying osteoporosis-promoting genetic variations, we can spotlight targets for new pharmacologic therapies that will improve patient outcomes. In this metaanalysis, we analyzed mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) biomarkers in patients with osteoporosis. METHODS We employed our Search Tag Analyze Resource for the Gene Expression Omnibus (STARGEO) platform to conduct a metaanalysis to define osteoporosis pathogenesis. We compared 15 osteoporotic and 14 healthy control MSC samples. We then analyzed the genetic signature in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. RESULTS The top canonical pathways identified that were statistically significant included the serine peptidase inhibitor kazal type 1 pancreatic cancer pathway, calcium signaling, pancreatic adenocarcinoma signaling, axonal guidance signaling, and glutamate receptor signaling. Upstream regulators involved in this disease process included ESR1, dexamethasone, CTNNβ1, CREB1, and ERBB2. CONCLUSION Although there has been extensive research looking at the genetic basis for inflammatory arthritis, very little literature currently exists that has identified genetic pathways contributing to osteoporosis. Our study has identified several important genes involved in osteoporosis pathogenesis including ESR1, CTNNβ1, CREB1, and ERBB2. ESR1 has been shown to have numerous polymorphisms, which may play a prominent role in osteoporosis. The Wnt pathway, which includes the CTNNβ1 gene identified in our study, plays a prominent role in bone mass regulation. Wnt pathway polymorphisms can increase susceptibility to osteoporosis. Our analysis also suggests a potential mechanism for ERBB2 in osteoporosis through Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D). Our metaanalysis identifies several genes and pathways that can be targeted to develop new anabolic drugs for osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that are widely expressed in human disease. However, circRNAs expression profile and potential mechanism in osteoporosis pathogenesis remain to be further studied. In the present study, a total of 69 circRNAs were identified to be abnormally expressed in osteoporosis patient samples by microarray and bioinformatics analyses. We found that circ_0011269 was notably downregulated in osteoporosis (fold change, 3.94). By means of miRanda algorithm, we constructed the interaction network of circ_0011269-miRNAs in osteoporosis based on target binding and miR-122 was enrolled in the network. Dual-luciferase reporter assay verified the target relationship of miR-122 and circ_0011269/RUNX2. The expression of circ_0011269 and RUNX2 were gradually increased during osteogenic differentiation while miR-122 exhibited a decreased expression. Moreover, overexpression of circ_0011269 could promote RUNX2 expression and inhibit osteoporosis. In summary, this study found that circ_0011269 sponges miR-122 to regulate RUNX2 expression and promotes osteoporosis progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the aging of the world's population, the incidence of osteoporosis (OP) has become a public health problem of worldwide concern. Research shows that icariin may have a therapeutic effect on OP. MATERIAL AND METHODS PharmMapper was utilized to predict the potential targets of icariin. GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) were used for the collection of OP genes. The STRING database was utilized to obtain the protein-protein interaction (PPI) data. We used Cytoscape 3.7.2 to construct and analyze the networks. The genes and targets in the networks were input into the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) to undergo Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis. Finally, animal experiments were performed to verify the prediction results of this study. RESULTS A total of 297 icariin potential targets and 262 OP genes were obtained, and an icariin-OP PPI network was constructed and analyzed. The results of the GO enrichment analysis showed that icariin can regulate the steroid hormone-mediated signaling pathway, skeletal system development, extracellular space, cytosol, and steroid hormone receptor activity. The results of the pathway enrichment analysis showed that icariin can regulate osteoclast differentiation, FoxO, estrogen, and PPAR signaling pathways. The results of the experiments showed that icariin can increase estradiol, ß-catenin, and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-к B Ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio in postmenopausal OP rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This research found that the icariin can regulate OP-related biological processes, cell components, molecular functions, and signaling pathways.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation is critical to bone homeostasis, and its imbalance plays a key role in the progression of osteoporosis. Osteoblast cells are responsible for synthesizing new bone tissue, and understanding how to control osteoblastic differentiation is vital to the treatment of osteoporosis. Herein, we show that GPR173 signaling is involved in the regulation of osteoblastic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our data reveals that GPR173 is abundantly expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells, and its expression is inducible upon the introduction of osteogenic media. The activation of GPR173 by its selective agonist phoenixin 20 induces the expression of several osteoblast signature genes including collagen type 1 alpha 1 (Col-I), osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as well as increased matrix mineralization and ALP activity, suggesting that the activation of GPR173 promotes osteoblastic differentiation. Moreover, we show that the effect of phoenixin 20 is mediated by its induction on the key regulator runt-Related Transcription Factor 2 (Runx2). Mechanistically, we display that the action of phoenixin 20 requires the activation of MAPK kinase p38, and deactivation of p38 by its inhibitor SB203580 weakens the phoenixin 20-mediated induction of RUNX-2, ALP, and matrix mineralization. Silencing of GPR173 attenuates phoenixin 20-mediated osteoblastic differentiation, indicating its dependence on the receptor. Collectively, our study reveals a new role of GPR173 and its agonist phoenixin 20 in osteoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
The Hippo/yes-associated protein 1 signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway. This signaling pathway is primarily involved in the regulation of stem cell self-renewal, organ size and tissue regeneration by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. It plays an important role in embryonic development and tissue organ formation. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a key transcription factor in the Hippo signaling pathway and is negatively regulated by this pathway. Changes in YAP1 expression levels affect the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors, but the specific mechanism associated with this phenomenon has not been thoroughly studied. Recently, several studies have described the role of YAP1 in osteoarthritis (OA). Indeed, YAP1 is involved in orthopedic degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis (OP) in addition to OA. In this review, we will summarize the significance of YAP1 in orthopedic degenerative diseases and discuss the potential of the targeted modulation of YAP1 for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to review relevant randomized controlled trials or case-control studies to determine the clinical efficacy of minodronate in the treatment of osteoporosis. METHOD The relevant studies were identified on PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases using appropriate keywords. Pertinent sources in the literature were also reviewed, and all articles published through October 2019 were considered for inclusion. For each study, we assessed odds ratios, mean difference, and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) to evaluate and synthesize outcomes. RESULT Thirteen studies comprising 3740 patients were included in this study. Compared with other drugs, minodronate significantly decreased N-telopeptide of type I collagen/creatinine (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -13.669, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -23.108 to -4.229), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) (WMD: -1.26, 95% CI: -2.04 to -0.47) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (WMD: -154.11, 95% CI: -277.85 to -30.37). Minodronate combined with other drugs would significantly decrease BAP (WMD: -3.10, 95% CI: -5.20 to -1.00) than minodronate. Minodronate-naïve would significantly decrease BAP (WMD: -3.00, 95% CI: -5.47 to 0.53) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (WMD: -128.20, 95% CI: -198.11 to -58.29) than minodronate-switch. The incidence of vertebral fracture was significantly decreased in the minodronate group than the other drugs (relative risk: 0.520, 95% CI: 0.363-0.744). CONCLUSION Minodronate has better clinical efficacy in the treatment of osteoporosis than other drugs (alendronate, risedronate, raloxifene, or eldecalcitol).

Abstract
Background The differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into adipogenesis (AD) rather than osteogenesis (OS) is an important pathological feature of osteoporosis. Illuminating the detailed mechanisms of the differentiation of BMSCs into OS and AD would contribute to the interpretation of osteoporosis pathology. Methods To identify the regulated mechanism in lineage commitment of the BMSCs into OS and AD in the early stages, the gene expression profiles with temporal series were downloaded to reveal the distinct fates when BMSCs adopt a committed lineage. For both OS and AD lineages, the profiles of days 2–4 were compared with day 0 to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. Next, the functional enrichment analysis was utilized to find out the biological function, and protein-protein interaction network to predict the central genes. Finally, experiments were performed to verify our finding. Results FoxO signaling pathway with central genes like FoxO3, IL6, and CAT is the crucial mechanism of OS, while Rap1 signaling pathway of VEGFA and FGF2 enrichment is more significant for AD. Besides, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway might serve as the latent mechanism about the initiation of differentiation of BMSCs into multiple lineages. Conclusion Above hub genes and early-responder signaling pathways control osteogenic and adipogenic fates of BMSCs, which maybe mechanistic models clarifying the changes of bone metabolism in the clinical progress of osteoporosis. The findings provide a crucial reference for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by bone loss, imbalance of bone metabolism and destruction of trabecular microarchitecture. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been revealed as important biological regulators in human diseases. The expression characteristics and mechanism of circRNAs in osteoporosis are unclear. METHODS The binding sites of miR-516b-5p on circ-SLC8A1 and AKAP2 mRNA were predicted using circAtlas (http://circatlas.biols.ac.cn) and miRDB (http://mirdb.org). Target sites of miR-516b-5p on circ-SLC8A1 and AKAP2 mRNA were confirmed by a dual luciferase assay. The relationship between miR-516b-5p and AKAP2 was determined by a quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Alizarin red S staining and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to observe the level of osteogenic differentiation after transfection. RESULTS The first six circRNAs captured from the 30 circRNAs with highest expression in the bone marrow were examined in a mouse model of osteoporosis and the expression of circ-SLC8A1 was found to be significantly reduced in osteoporosis. Circ-SLC8A1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-516b-5p. Overexpression of circ-SLC8A1 blocked the inhibition of AKAP2 by miR-516b-5p. CONCLUSIONS Circ-SLC8A1 blocks the inhibitory effect of miR-516b-5p on the downstream target gene AKAP2 and promotes osteoporosis. The findings of the present might help to provide a new strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The process of bone metabolism includes catabolism of old or mature bone and anabolism of new bone, carried out by osteoclasts and osteoblasts respectively. Any imbalance in this process results in loss of bone mass or osteoporosis. Drugs available to combat osteoporosis have certain adverse effects and are unable to improve bone formation, hence identifying new agents to fulfil these therapeutic gaps is required. To expand the scope of potential agents that enhance bone formation, we identified Euonymus spraguei Hayata as a plant material that possesses robust osteogenic potential using human osteoblast cells. We isolated three compounds, syringaresinol (1), syringin (2), and (−)-epicatechin (3), from E. spraguei. Results demonstrated that syringin (2), and (−)-epicatechin (3), increased alkaline phosphatase activity significantly up to 131.01% and 130.67%, respectively; they also elevated mineral deposition with respective values of up to 139.39% and 138.33%. In addition, 2 and 3 modulated autophagy and the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 signaling pathway. Our findings demonstrated that 2 and 3 induced osteogenesis by targeting multiple pathways and therefore can be considered as potent multi-targeted drugs for bone formation against osteoporosis.

Abstract
Polyhydroxylated naphthoquinones (PHNQs), known as spinochromes that can be extracted from sea urchins, are bioactive compounds reported to have medicinal properties and antioxidant activity. The MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cell viability assay showed that pure echinochrome A exhibited a cytotoxic effect on Saos-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner within the test concentration range (15.625-65.5 µg/mL). The PHNQ extract from New Zealand sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus did not induce any cytotoxicity within the same concentration range after 21 days of incubation. Adding calcium chloride (CaCl2) with echinochrome A increased the number of viable cells, but when CaCl2 was added with the PHNQs, cell viability decreased. The effect of PHNQs extracted on mineralized nodule formation in Saos-2 cells was investigated using xylenol orange and von Kossa staining methods. Echinochrome A decreased the mineralized nodule formation significantly (p < 0.05), while nodule formation was not affected in the PHNQ treatment group. A significant (p < 0.05) increase in mineralization was observed in the presence of PHNQs (62.5 µg/mL) supplemented with 1.5 mM CaCl2. In conclusion, the results indicate that PHNQs have the potential to improve the formation of bone mineral phase in vitro, and future research in an animal model is warranted.

Abstract
Over‐activated osteoclastogenesis, which is initiated by inflammation, has been implicated in osteoporosis. Corilagin, a natural compound extracted from various medicinal herbaceous plants, such as Cinnamomum cassia, has antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities. We found that Corilagin suppressed osteoclast differentiation in a dose‐dependent manner, significantly decreased osteoclast‐related gene expression and impaired bone resorption by osteoclasts. Moreover, phosphorylation of members of the nuclear factor‐kappaB (NF‐κB) and PI3K/AKT signalling pathways was reduced by Corilagin. In a murine model of osteoporosis, Corilagin inhibited osteoclast functions in vivo and restored oestrogen deficiency‐induced bone loss. In conclusion, our findings suggested that Corilagin inhibited osteoclastogenesis by down‐regulating the NF‐κB and PI3K/AKT signalling pathways, thus showing its potential possibility for the treatment of osteoporosis.

[PMID: 32668783 PMCID: PMC7409190 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12071886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Both natural and synthetic nanoparticles have been proposed as drug carriers in cancer treatment, since they can increase drug accumulation in target tissues, optimizing the therapeutic effect. As an example, extracellular vesicles (EV), including exosomes (Exo), can become drug vehicles through endogenous or exogenous loading, amplifying the anticancer effects at the tumor site. In turn, synthetic nanoparticles (NP) can carry therapeutic molecules inside their core, improving solubility and stability, preventing degradation, and controlling their release. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in nanotechnology applied for theranostic use, distinguishing between passive and active targeting of these vehicles. In addition, examples of these models are reported: EV as transporters of conventional anticancer drugs; Exo or NP as carriers of small molecules that induce an anti-tumor immune response. Finally, we focus on two types of nanoparticles used to stimulate an anticancer immune response: Exo carried with A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease-10 inhibitors and NP loaded with aminobisphosphonates. The former would reduce the release of decoy ligands that impair tumor cell recognition, while the latter would activate the peculiar anti-tumor response exerted by γδ T cells, creating a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity.

[PMID: 32267602 DOI: 10.1002/jgm.3198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to investigate the effect of cnidium lactone on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss and determine whether it exerts its effects by mediating the estrogen receptor-α (ERα)/bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)/Smad signaling pathways. METHODS Fifty-five female rats were randomly assigned to the following treatment groups: the OVX group, the sham-operated (sham) group, and groups treated with cnidium lactone at different doses (10 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day). Treatments were administered for 60 days. Search Tool for Interacting Chemicals (STITCH; http://stitch.embl.de) was used to identify the interaction between cnidium lactone and target proteins. Bone mineral density (BMD), mechanical strength, serum osteoblastic and osteoclastic markers, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of the distal femur were evaluated. Moreover, western blot analyses were also performed to evaluate the effect of cnidium lactone on the ERα/BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway. RESULTS Cnidium lactone treatment was associated with an increase in the BMD of the distal femur compared to that of the OVX group. Moreover, cnidium lactone significantly increased biomechanical properties in a dose-dependent manner compared to those of the OVX group (p < 0.05). Treatment with cnidium lactone significantly enhanced the BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway by up-regulating the expression of ERα, BMP-2, p-Smad1 and p-Smad4. Cnidium lactone treatment improved the microstructure of trabecular bone in the distal femurs of OVX rats, as shown by HE staining. CONCLUSIONS Cnidium lactone exerts potent antiosteoporotic activity in ovariectomized mice, and the underlying molecular mechanism may be related to the ERα/BMP-2/Smad signaling pathways.

Abstract
In this study, the network pharmacology analysis method was used to explore the bioactive components and targets of Xianlinggubao (XLGB) and further elucidate its potential biological mechanisms of action in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). The bioactive compounds and predictive targets of XLGB were collected from the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology databases and analysis platform(TCMSP), the Encyclopeida of traditional Chinese medicine (ETCM), traditional Chinese medicine Databse@Taiwan, ChEMBL, STITCH, and SymMap database. The targets corresponding to OP were obtained by using Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man® (OMIM), GeneCards, the National Center for Biotechnology Information-Gene database. The XLGB-OP targets were obtained by intersecting with the targets of XLGB and OP. Protien-Protien interaciton (PPI) network was constructed using STRING online database and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.7.0 software to screen out hub genes. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis of the target in the PPI network was conducted using the ClusterProfiler package in R with adjusted p-value<0.05. A total of 65 XLGB bioactive compounds were screened corresponding to 776 XLGB targets and 2556 OP targets. The GO analysis and KEGG enrichment analyses suggested XLGB played a therapeutic roles in OP treatment via the interleukin-17 signaling pathway, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 signaling pathway, insulin resistance, Th-17 signaling pathway, etc. Five hub genes (AKT1, MAPK1, MAPK8, TP53, and STAT3) were screened using the degree algorithm, and molecular docking stimulation results showed that most bioactive compounds of XLGB had strong binding efficiency with hub genes. Overall, this study laid the foundation for further in vivo and in vitro experimental research and expanded the clinical applications of XLGB.

Abstract
Osteoporosis-related bone fracture and falls have a severe impact on patients' daily lives. Osteoblasts are bone-building cells that play a vital role in bone formation and remodeling. Imbalanced osteoblast differentiation could lead to osteoporosis. GPR39 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor that mediates metabolic pathways. In this study, we show that GPR39 is expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells. Osteoblast differentiation culture media induces GPR39, suggesting that GPR39 is a differentiation-responsive factor. Activation of GPR39 using its selective agonist TC-G 1008 induces alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), and type I collagen (Col-I) expression, and increases cellular ALP activity and calcium deposition, implying that GPR activation promotes cells toward osteoblast differentiation. Treatment with TC-G 1008 also increases Runx-2 expression and AMPK activation. However, the inhibition of AMPK by Compound C abolished TC-G 1008-mediated ALP, OCN, and Col-I induction, and reduces ALP activity and cellular calcium deposition as well as Runx-2 induction. These data indicate that TC-G 1008-mediated GPR39 activation involves AMPK-mediated Runx-2 induction. In summary, our study uncovers a new role of GPR39 activation in osteoblast differentiation, implying that GPR39 could be a promising therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Opportunistic QCT Bone Mineral Density Measurements Predicting Osteoporotic Fractures: A Use Case in a Prospective Clinical Cohort. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2020; 11:586352. [PMID: 33240220 PMCID: PMC7680958 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2020.586352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether volumetric vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) measured with opportunistic quantitative computed tomography (QCT) (i.e., CT acquired for other reasons) can predict osteoporotic fracture occurrence in a prospective clinical cohort and how this performs in comparison to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements. METHODS In the database of our fracture liaison service, 58 patients (73 ± 11 years, 72% women) were identified that had at least one prevalent low-energy fracture and had undergone CT of the spine. BMD was determined by converting HU using scanner-specific conversion equations. Baseline DXA was available for 31 patients. During a 3-year follow-up, new fractures were diagnosed either by (i) recent in-house imaging or (ii) clinical follow-up with validated external reports. Associations were assessed using logistic regression models, and cut-off values were determined with ROC/Youden analyses. RESULTS Within 3 years, 20 of 58 patients presented new low-energy fractures (34%). Mean QCT BMD of patients with fractures was significantly lower (56 ± 20 vs. 91 ± 38 mg/cm3; p = 0.003) and age was higher (77 ± 10 vs. 71 ± 11 years; p = 0.037). QCT BMD was significantly associated with the occurrence of new fractures, and the OR for developing a new fracture during follow-up was 1.034 (95% CI, 1.010-1.058, p = 0.005), suggesting 3% higher odds for every unit of BMD decrease (1 mg/cm3). Age and sex showed no association. For the differentiation between patients with and without new fractures, ROC showed an AUC of 0.76 and a Youden's Index of J = 0.48, suggesting an optimal cut-off value of 82 mg/cm3. DXA T-scores showed no significant association with fracture occurrence in analogous regression models. CONCLUSION In this use case, opportunistic BMD measurements attained through QCT predicted fractures during a 3-year follow-up. This suggests that opportunistic measurements are useful to reduce the diagnostic gap and evaluate the fracture risk in osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
Amino-bisphosphonates (N-BPs) have been commercially available for over four decades and are used for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and bone metastases derived from various cancer types. Zoledronate and alendronate, two of the most potent N-BPs, have demonstrated direct tumoricidal activity on tumor cells and immune modulatory effects on myeloid cells and T cells in vitro and in animal models of cancer. However, the rapid renal clearance and sequestration in mineral bone of these drugs in free form severely limit their systemic exposure and applications in cancer patients. Reformulation of N-BPs by encapsulation in liposomal nanoparticles addresses these pharmacokinetic barriers, and liposomal zoledronate and alendronate formulations have been found to increase the anticancer efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapies and adoptive T cell immunotherapies in murine cancer models. Herein, we review the differences in pharmacology between N-BPs versus non-N-BPs (e.g., clodronate), free versus liposomal N-BP formulations, and targeted versus non-targeted liposomal N-BPs, and the clinical and preclinical evidence supporting a role for liposomal N-BPs in the treatment of cancer. We propose that pegylated liposomal alendronate (PLA) has the most potential for clinical translation based on favorable therapeutic index, ability to passively target and accumulate in tumors, proven biocompatibility of the liposome carrier, and preclinical anticancer efficacy.

The effects of neurectomy and hibernation on bone properties and the endocannabinoid system in marmots (Marmota flaviventris). Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2019; 241:110621. [PMID: 31783174 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2019.110621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 11/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Hibernators have adapted a physiological mechanism allowing them to undergo long periods of inactivity without experiencing bone loss. However, the biological mechanisms that prevent bone loss are unknown. Previous studies found meaningful changes, between active and hibernating marmots, in the endocannabinoid system of many tissues, including bone. Cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) have divergent localization in bone. CB1 is predominately found on sympathetic nerve terminals, while CB2 is more abundant on bone cells and their progenitors. This study aimed to determine the contribution of innervation on endocannabinoid regulation of bone properties in hibernating (during torpor) and non-hibernating yellow-bellied marmots. Neurectomy, a model for disuse osteoporosis, was performed unilaterally in both hibernating and active marmots. Endocannabinoid concentrations were measured in bone marrow, cortical, and trabecular regions from fourth metatarsals of both hindlimbs using microflow chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry. Trabecular bone architectural properties of fifth metatarsals were evaluated using micro-computed tomography. There were ligand-specific increases with neurectomy in active, but not hibernating, marmots. Trabecular bone architectural properties were not affected by neurectomy during hibernation, but did show some minor negative changes in active marmots. These findings suggest protection from bone loss in hibernating rodents is peripherally rather than centrally regulated. Furthermore, findings suggest even active marmots with normal metabolism are partially protected from disuse induced bone loss compared to laboratory rodents. Understanding the mechanism hibernators use to maintain bone density may guide development for novel bone loss prevention therapies.

miR-140-3p exhibits repressive functions on preosteoblast viability and differentiation by downregulating MCF2L in osteoporosis. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2019; 56:49-58.

Abstract
Previous research manifested that miR-140-3p was a latent biomarker for osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the mechanism of miR-140-3p in osteoporosis is still not clear and needs ulteriorly studying. The purpose of our paper was to ulteriorly probe the underlying mechanism of miR-140-3p on osteoporosis. Firstly, based on the data acquired from GEO database, we found that miR-140-3p was highly expressed; meanwhile, MCF2L was lowly expressed in osteoporosis patients. Upregulation/downregulation of miR-140-3p by miR-140-3p mimic/inhibitor restrained/promoted MC3T3-E1 cell viability and differentiation. However, miR-140-3p over-expression/downregulation accelerated/repressed MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis. MCF2L was forecasted as a target of miR-140-3p by miRanda, miRWalk, and TargetScan miRNA target gene prediction software. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that MCF2L could be directly targeted by miR-140-3p. Moreover, we identified that the expression of MCF2L was negatively regulated by miR-140-3p. From rescue assays, we discovered that knockdown of MCF2L weakened the promoting influence of miR-140-3p ablation on MC3T3-E1 cell viability and differentiation, and receded the suppressing impact of miR-140-3p reduction on MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis. Above all, this research disclosed that miR-140-3p repressed preosteoblast viability and differentiation while promoted preosteoblast apoptosis via targeting MCF2L. Our discoveries might afford a theoretical basis of developing a latent novel target for osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) can be used for bone regeneration in the specified condition. Osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs is controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs) and other factors. This study was aimed to identify the role and mechanism of miR-889 in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Methods Osteoporosis patients and normal control bone tissues were collected and used PCR techniques to identify the change of miR-889 and WNT7A. Moreover, the dynamic change of miR-889 and WNT7A during osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs was also measured. Bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the target genes and potential pathways of miR-889. Then, we constructed miR-889 mimic and inhibitor, ALP staining, ARS, osteoblastic-related protein, and Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway-related protein were also measured. WNT7A siRNA was also used to verify the function of miR-889. Results In the present study, we showed that miR-889 expression was upregulated in osteoporosis patients than healthy control. However, the miR-889 expression was downregulated during osteogenic differentiation. Bioinformatics analysis found that miR-889 targets 666 genes and mainly through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway. Administrated miR-889 mimic, the ALP activity, and calcium deposition were decreased than the control group, while miR-889 inhibitor shown the opposite trend. And miR-889 could bind the 3′UTR of WNT7A. We further used WNT7A siRNA to explore the function of miR-889, and the results revealed that co-cultured with miR-889 inhibitor and WNT7A siRNA was associated with a reduction of ALP activity and calcium deposition and osteoblastic-related proteins than miR-889 inhibitor alone. Conclusion Our results revealed that miR-889 plays a negative role in inducing osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical function deteriorate with age and may adversely impact bone health in older adults. We determined associations of objective measures of physical function and HRQoL with bone health in postmenopausal women with low areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Fifty postmenopausal women (64.4 7.7 years old, mean standard deviation) with low spine, hip or femoral neck aBMD (T- or Z-score < -1.0) on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) participated. Femoral surface BMD, trabecular, integral and cortical volumetric BMD (vBMD) measurements were obtained using 3D-SHAPER software on DXA. Distal tibial vBMD and microarchitecture were assessed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT). Participants completed self-administered EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) and modified falls efficacy scale (MFES) questionnaires, and physical function assessments. Stair climb power was positively associated with bone parameters at the hip, femoral neck, and distal tibia (all p < 0.05) in multivariable linear regression. EQ-5D demonstrated no significant associations with bone parameters and MFES was positively associated only with distal tibial cortical vBMD and cortical von Mises stress (both p < 0.05). Objective measures of physical function, particularly muscle power, are more consistently associated with bone parameters compared with self-administered HRQoL questionnaires.

Abstract
The 18th Annual Santa Fe Bone Symposium was held on August 4-5, 2017, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The symposium convenes health-care providers and clinical researchers to present and discuss clinical applications of recent advances in research of skeletal diseases. The program includes lectures, oral presentations by endocrinology fellows, case-based panel discussions, and breakout sessions on topics of interest, with emphasis on participation and interaction of all participants. Topics included the evaluation and treatment of adult survivors with pediatric bone diseases, risk assessment and management of atypical femur fractures, nonpharmacologic strategies in the care of osteoporosis, and skeletal effects of parathyroid hormone with opportunities for therapeutic intervention. Management of skeletal complications of rheumatic diseases was discussed. Insights into sequential and combined use of antiresorptive agents were presented. Individualization of patient treatment decisions when clinical practice guidelines may not be applicable was covered. Challenges and opportunities with osteoporosis drug development were discussed. There was an update on progress of Bone Health TeleECHO (Bone Health Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), a teleconferencing strategy for sharing knowledge and expanding capacity to deliver best-practice skeletal health care.
