Kawai M, Kinoshita S, Ozono K, Michigami T. Lack of PTEN in osteocytes increases circulating phosphate concentrations by decreasing intact fibroblast growth factor 23 levels. Sci Rep 2020; 10:21501. [PMID: 33299044 PMCID: PMC7726559 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-78692-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been centric to the regulation of phosphate (Pi) metabolism; however, the regulatory network of FGF23 in osteocytes has not yet been defined in detail. We herein investigated the role of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10) in this regulation. We created mice lacking PTEN expression mainly in osteocytes by crossing Pten-flox mice with Dmp1-Cre mice. The lack of PTEN in the osteocytes of these mice was associated with decreased skeletal and serum intact FGF23 levels, which, in turn, resulted in reductions of urinary Pi excretion and elevations of serum Pi levels. Mechanistically, the knockdown of PTEN expression in osteoblastic UMR106 cells activated the AKT/mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) pathway and this was associated with reductions in Fgf23 expression. Furthermore, the suppression of Fgf23 expression by PTEN knockdown or insulin simulation in UMR106 cells was partially restored by the treatment with the mTORC1 inhibitor, rapamycin. These results suggest that FGF23 expression in osteoblastic cells is in part regulated through the AKT/mTORC1 pathway and provide new insights into our understanding of the regulatory network of Pi metabolism.

Al Rifai O, Julien C, Lacombe J, Faubert D, Lira-Navarrete E, Narimatsu Y, Clausen H, Ferron M. The half-life of the bone-derived hormone osteocalcin is regulated through O-glycosylation in mice, but not in humans. eLife 2020; 9:61174. [PMID: 33284103 PMCID: PMC7822592 DOI: 10.7554/elife.61174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteocalcin (OCN) is an osteoblast-derived hormone with pleiotropic physiological functions. Like many peptide hormones, OCN is subjected to post-translational modifications (PTMs) which control its activity. Here, we uncover O-glycosylation as a novel PTM present on mouse OCN and occurring on a single serine (S8) independently of its carboxylation and endoproteolysis, two other PTMs regulating this hormone. We also show that O-glycosylation increases OCN half-life in plasma ex vivo and in the circulation in vivo. Remarkably, in human OCN (hOCN), the residue corresponding to S8 is a tyrosine (Y12), which is not O-glycosylated. Yet, the Y12S mutation is sufficient to O-glycosylate hOCN and to increase its half-life in plasma compared to wildtype hOCN. These findings reveal an important species difference in OCN regulation, which may explain why serum concentrations of OCN are higher in mouse than in human. Bones provide support and protection for organs in the body. However, over the last 15 years researchers have discovered that bones also release chemicals known as hormones, which can travel to other parts of the body and cause an effect. The cells responsible for making bone, known as osteoblasts, produce a hormone called osteocalcin which communicates with a number of different organs, including the pancreas and brain. When osteocalcin reaches the pancreas, it promotes the release of another hormone called insulin which helps regulate the levels of sugar in the blood. Osteocalcin also travels to other organs such as muscle, where it helps to degrade fats and sugars that can be converted into energy. It also has beneficial effects on the brain, and has been shown to aid memory and reduce depression. Osteocalcin has largely been studied in mice where levels are five to ten times higher than in humans. But it is unclear why this difference exists or how it alters the role of osteocalcin in humans. To answer this question, Al Rifai et al. used a range of experimental techniques to compare the structure and activity of osteocalcin in mice and humans. The experiments showed that mouse osteocalcin has a group of sugars attached to its protein structure, which prevent the hormone from being degraded by an enzyme in the blood. Human osteocalcin has a slightly different protein sequence and is therefore unable to bind to this sugar group. As a result, the osteocalcin molecules in humans are less stable and cannot last as long in the blood. Al Rifai et al. showed that when human osteocalcin was modified so the sugar group could attach, the hormone was able to stick around for much longer and reach higher levels when added to blood in the laboratory. These findings show how osteocalcin differs between human and mice. Understanding this difference is important as the effects of osteocalcin mean this hormone can be used to treat diabetes and brain disorders. Furthermore, the results reveal how the stability of osteocalcin could be improved in humans, which could potentially enhance its therapeutic effect.

Serum osteocalcin is associated with subjective stress in people with depression and type 2 diabetes. Psychoneuroendocrinology 2020; 122:104878. [PMID: 33038647 DOI: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2020.104878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 08/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low serum osteocalcin is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and osteocalcin release from bone is associated with an acute stress response in mice. Both diabetes and stress are associated with depression. Here, we assess relationships between serum osteocalcin, depression and subjective stress in people with T2DM. METHODS Participants with T2DM (HbA1c above 6.4 %, impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance) were assessed for a major depressive episode using the research version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 depression criteria (SCID-5RV). Subjective stress over the past month was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Serum carboxylated (cOCN) and fully decarboxylated (dcOCN) osteocalcin were assayed from fasting morning blood by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Among 95 participants (mean age 62.4 ± 9.9, 51 % women), 22 % were experiencing a depressive episode (9 men, 12 women). The presence of a depressive episode was not associated with dcOCN or cOCN concentrations; however, higher concentrations of cOCN were associated with higher PSS scores in participants with depression (r = 0.585, p = 0.005). In an analysis of covariance model controlling for age, sex, body mass index, glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin), insulin resistance (homeostatic model), depression, and antidepressant use, cOCN was associated with PSS scores (F=10.302, p = 0.002), and this relationship was stronger in those with depression (depression × cOCN interaction F=4.978, p = 0.028). Although associations between dcOCN concentrations and PSS scores did not reach significance, the same trend seen with cOCN concentrations was observed in participants with depression for dcOCN (r=0.365, p=0.10), and for a depression × dcOCN interaction associated with PSS scores in the whole group (F=2.165, p = 0.15). CONCLUSIONS Osteocalcin is a neuroendocrine marker associated with perceived chronic stress among people with T2DM experiencing a depressive episode.

Abstract
Bone provides skeletal support and functions as an endocrine organ by producing osteocalcin, whose uncarboxylated form (GluOC) increases the metabolism of glucose and lipid by activating its putative G protein-coupled receptor (family C group 6 subtype A). Low doses (≤10 ng/ml) of GluOC induce the expression of adiponectin, adipose triglyceride lipase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, and promote active phosphorylation of lipolytic enzymes such as perilipin and hormone-sensitive lipase via the cAMP-PKA-Src-Rap1-ERK-CREB signaling axis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Administration of high-dose (≥20 ng/ml) GluOC induces programmed necrosis (necroptosis) through a juxtacrine mechanism triggered by the binding of Fas ligand, whose expression is induced by forkhead box O1, to Fas that is expressed in adjacent adipocytes. Furthermore, expression of adiponectin and adipose triglyceride lipase in adipocytes is triggered in the same manner as following low-dose GluOC stimulation; these effects protect mice from diet-induced accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes and consequent liver injury through the upregulation of nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2, expression of antioxidant enzymes, and inhibition of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway. Evaluation of these molecular mechanisms leads us to consider that GluOC might have potential as a treatment for lipid metabolism disorders. Indeed, there have been many reports demonstrating the negative correlation between serum osteocalcin levels and obesity or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a common risk factor for which is dyslipidemia in humans. The present review summarizes the effects of GluOC on lipid metabolism as well as its possible therapeutic application for metabolic diseases including obesity and dyslipidemia.

Leptin Mediated Pathways Stabilize Posttraumatic Insulin and Osteocalcin Patterns after Long Bone Fracture and Concomitant Traumatic Brain Injury and Thus Influence Fracture Healing in a Combined Murine Trauma Model.

Abstract
Recent studies on insulin, leptin, osteocalcin (OCN), and bone remodeling have evoked interest in the interdependence of bone formation and energy household. Accordingly, this study attempts to investigate trauma specific hormone changes in a murine trauma model and its influence on fracture healing. Thereunto 120 female wild type (WT) and leptin-deficient mice underwent either long bone fracture (Fx), traumatic brain injury (TBI), combined trauma (Combined), or neither of it and therefore served as controls (C). Blood samples were taken weekly after trauma and analyzed for insulin and OCN concentrations. Here, WT-mice with Fx and, moreover, with combined trauma showed a greater change in posttraumatic insulin and OCN levels than mice with TBI alone. In the case of leptin-deficiency, insulin changes were still increased after bony lesion, but the posttraumatic OCN was no longer trauma specific. Four weeks after trauma, hormone levels recovered to normal/basal line level in both mouse strains. Thus, WT- and leptin-deficient mice show a trauma specific hyperinsulinaemic stress reaction leading to a reduction in OCN synthesis and release. In WT-mice, this causes a disinhibition and acceleration of fracture healing after combined trauma. In leptin-deficiency, posttraumatic OCN changes are no longer specific and fracture healing is impaired regardless of the preceding trauma.

Abstract
Obesity is prevalent in modern human societies. We examined the anti-obesity effects of scopolin on adipocyte differentiation in preadipocyte 3T3-L1 cells and weight loss in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced obese mouse model. Scopolin inhibited adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation in the preadipocyte cells by suppressing the transcription of adipogenic-related factors, including adiponectin (Adipoq), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg), lipoprotein lipase (Lpl), perilipin1 (Plin1), fatty acid-binding protein 4 (Fabp4), glucose transporter type 4 (Slc2a4), and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (Cebpa). In OVX-induced obese mice, administration of scopolin promoted the reduction of body weight, total fat percentage, liver steatosis, and adipose cell size. In addition, the scopolin-treated OVX mice showed decreased serum levels of leptin and insulin. Taken together, these findings suggest that the use of scopolin prevented adipocyte differentiation and weight gain in vitro and in vivo, indicating that scopolin may be a potential bioactive compound for the treatment and prevention of obesity in humans.

Abstract
Cachexia is a complication of dismal prognosis, which often represents the last step of several chronic diseases. For this reason, the comprehension of the molecular drivers of such a condition is crucial for the development of management approaches. Importantly, cachexia is a syndrome affecting various organs, which often results in systemic complications. To date, the majority of the research on cachexia has been focused on skeletal muscle, muscle atrophy being a pivotal cause of weight loss and the major feature associated with the steep reduction in quality of life. Nevertheless, defining the impact of cachexia on other organs is essential to properly comprehend the complexity of such a condition and potentially develop novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Adipocytes control bone mass, but the mechanism is unclear. To explore the effect of postnatal adipocyte elimination on bone cells, we mated mice expressing an inducible primate diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) to those bearing adiponectin (ADQ)-Cre. DTR activation eliminates peripheral and marrow adipocytes in these DTRADQ mice. Within 4 days of DTR activation, the systemic bone mass of DTRADQ mice began to increase due to stimulated osteogenesis, with a 1,000% expansion by 10-14 days post-DTR treatment. This adipocyte ablation-mediated enhancement of skeletal mass reflected bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor activation following the elimination of its inhibitors, associated with simultaneous epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling. DTRADQ-induced osteosclerosis is not due to ablation of peripheral adipocytes but likely reflects the elimination of marrow ADQ-expressing cells. Thus, anabolic drugs targeting BMP receptor inhibitors with short-term EGF receptor activation may be a means of profoundly increasing skeletal mass to prevent or reverse pathological bone loss.

Abstract
Bone-derived cytokines refer to various proteins and peptides that are released from the skeleton and can distribute in organisms to regulate homeostasis by targeting many organs, such as the pancreas, brain, testicles, and kidneys. In addition to providing support and movement, many studies have disclosed the novel endocrine function of bone, and bone can modulate glucose and energy metabolism as well as phosphate metabolism by versatile bone-derived cytokines. However, this specific exoskeletonfunction of bone-derived cytokines in the regulation of homeostasis and the pathological response caused by skeletal dysfunction are still not very clear, and elucidation of the above mechanisms is of great significance for understanding the pathological processes of metabolic disorders and in the search for novel therapeutic measures for maintaining organ stability and physical fitness.

PHOSPHO1 is a skeletal regulator of insulin resistance and obesity. BMC Biol 2020; 18:149. [PMID: 33092598 PMCID: PMC7584094 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-020-00880-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The classical functions of the skeleton encompass locomotion, protection and mineral homeostasis. However, cell-specific gene deletions in the mouse and human genetic studies have identified the skeleton as a key endocrine regulator of metabolism. The bone-specific phosphatase, Phosphatase, Orphan 1 (PHOSPHO1), which is indispensable for bone mineralisation, has been recently implicated in the regulation of energy metabolism in humans, but its role in systemic metabolism remains unclear. Here, we probe the mechanism underlying metabolic regulation by analysing Phospho1 mutant mice. RESULTS Phospho1-/- mice exhibited improved basal glucose homeostasis and resisted high-fat-diet-induced weight gain and diabetes. The metabolic protection in Phospho1-/- mice was manifested in the absence of altered levels of osteocalcin. Osteoblasts isolated from Phospho1-/- mice were enriched for genes associated with energy metabolism and diabetes; Phospho1 both directly and indirectly interacted with genes associated with glucose transport and insulin receptor signalling. Canonical thermogenesis via brown adipose tissue did not underlie the metabolic protection observed in adult Phospho1-/- mice. However, the decreased serum choline levels in Phospho1-/- mice were normalised by feeding a 2% choline rich diet resulting in a normalisation in insulin sensitivity and fat mass. CONCLUSION We show that mice lacking the bone mineralisation enzyme PHOSPHO1 exhibit improved basal glucose homeostasis and resist high-fat-diet-induced weight gain and diabetes. This study identifies PHOSPHO1 as a potential bone-derived therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.

Osteocalcin prevents insulin resistance, hepatic inflammation, and activates autophagy associated with high-fat diet-induced fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome in aged laying hens. Poult Sci 2020; 100:73-83. [PMID: 33357709 PMCID: PMC7772703 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2020.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 08/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of osteocalcin (OCN) on fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in aged laying hens. Thirty 68-week-old White Plymouth laying hens were randomly assigned into conventional single-bird cages, and the cages were randomly allocated into one of 3 treatments (n = 10): normal diet (ND + vehicle, ND + V), high-fat diet (HFD + vehicle, HFD + V), and HFD + OCN (3 μg/bird, 1 time/2 d, i.m.) for 40 d. At day 30, oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and insulin tolerance tests (ITT) were performed. At the end of experiment, the hens were euthanized followed by blood collection. The plasma aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured using an automatic biochemistry analyzer. Pathological changes in the liver were examined under both light and transmission electron microscopes. The plasma inflammatory factors including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were analyzed by ELISA, and the gene expressions of these inflammatory factors in the liver were analyzed by real-time PCR. The level of oxidative stress was evaluated using malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) assay kits, respectively. The results showed that HFD + V hens had more severe liver hemorrhage and fibrosis than ND + V hens (P < 0.05). The ultramicrostructural examination showed that hepatocytes of HFD + V hens exhibited necrotic pyknosis showing great intracellular electron, mitochondrial swelling, shrunk nucleus, and absence of autolysosomes. Osteocalcin mitigated HFD + V-induced pathological changes in aged laying hens. High-fat diet + OCN hens had higher insulin sensitivity; lower liver concentrations of MDA (P = 0.12) but higher GSH-Px (P < 0.05); and lower blood TNF-α concentrations (P < 0.05) and mRNA expressions (P < 0.05) than HFD + V hens. These results suggest OCN functions in preventing the FLHS process in old laying hens through inhibiting excessive energy diet-induced metabolic disorder, oxidative stress, and related pathological damage.

Functions of Osteocalcin in Bone, Pancreas, Testis, and Muscle. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21207513.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (Ocn), which is specifically produced by osteoblasts, and is the most abundant non-collagenous protein in bone, was demonstrated to inhibit bone formation and function as a hormone, which regulates glucose metabolism in the pancreas, testosterone synthesis in the testis, and muscle mass, based on the phenotype of Ocn-/- mice by Karsenty's group. Recently, Ocn-/- mice were newly generated by two groups independently. Bone strength is determined by bone quantity and quality. The new Ocn-/- mice revealed that Ocn is not involved in the regulation of bone formation and bone quantity, but that Ocn regulates bone quality by aligning biological apatite (BAp) parallel to the collagen fibrils. Moreover, glucose metabolism, testosterone synthesis and spermatogenesis, and muscle mass were normal in the new Ocn-/- mice. Thus, the function of Ocn is the adjustment of growth orientation of BAp parallel to the collagen fibrils, which is important for bone strength to the loading direction of the long bone. However, Ocn does not play a role as a hormone in the pancreas, testis, and muscle. Clinically, serum Ocn is a marker for bone formation, and exercise increases bone formation and improves glucose metabolism, making a connection between Ocn and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Menopause, an inevitable event in a woman's life, significantly increases risk of bone resorption and diseases such as Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The sole role of bones, as traditionally regarded, is to provide structural support for skeletal muscles and allow for ambulation, however this concept is becoming quickly outdated. New literature has emerged that suggests the bone cell-derived hormone osteocalcin (OCN) plays a pivotal role in cognition. OCN levels are correlated with bone mass density and bone turnover, and thus are strongly influenced by the changes associated with menopause. The goal of the current review is to discuss potential gaps in our knowledge of OCN and cognition, discrepancies in methods of OCN quantification, and therapies to enhance circulating OCN. A discussion on implementing exercise or low frequency vibration interventions at the menopausal transition to reduce risk and severity of neurological diseases and associated cognitive decline is included.

Abstract
For centuries our image of the skeleton has been one of an inert structure playing a supporting role for muscles and a protective role for inner organs like the brain. Cell biology and physiology modified this view in the 20st century by defining the constant interplay between bone-forming and bone resorbing cells that take place during bone growth and remodeling, therefore demonstrating that bone is as alive as any other tissues in the body. During the past 40 years human and, most important, mouse genetics, have allowed not only the refinement of this notion by identifying the many genes and regulatory networks responsible for the crosstalk existing between bone cells, but have redefined the role of bone by showing that its influence goes way beyond its own physiology. Among its newly identified functions is the regulation of energy metabolism by 2 bone-derived hormones, osteocalcin and lipocalin-2. Their biology and respective roles in this process are the topic of this review.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of glucose metabolism on bone healing after tooth extraction in an osteoporosis rat model administered zoledronic acid (ZA) and dexamethasone (DX). METHODS In total, 24 male Wistar rats (4 weeks old) were randomly assigned to four groups: Control (subcutaneous physiological saline), ZD (subcutaneous ZA and DX twice a week), Ins+ZD (subcutaneous insulin followed by ZD treatment), and Met+ZD (oral metformin followed by ZD treatment). Blood was collected every two weeks . Two weeks after treatment initiation, the first molar tooth on the right maxilla was extracted from all rats. Four weeks later, the rats were sacrificed, and bone healing was assessed. Maxillae samples were fixed and scanned using micro-computed tomography for quantifying areas of bone defects. Hematoxylin-eosin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were performed to evaluate bone apoptosis and osteoclast number. RESULTS In all experimental groups, body weight was statistically lower than that in the Control group, with no changes observed in uncarboxylated osteocalcin concentrations. The radiological analysis revealed that insulin or metformin administration improved healing in the tooth extraction socket (p < 0.01). Histological examination revealed that the osteonecrosis area was reduced in the Ins+ZD and Met+ZD groups (p < 0.01). TRAP staining presented increased osteoclast numbers in the ZD group when compared with that observed in the Control. CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction with long-term ZA and DX administration inhibited bone remodeling and induced bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw-like lesions. Metformin exerted protective effects ag ainst osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Bone, the major structural scaffold of the human body, has recently been demonstrated to interact with several other organ systems through the actions of bone-derived cells and bone-derived cell secretory proteins. Interestingly, the brain is one organ that appears to fall into this interconnected network. Furthermore, the fact that osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease are two common age-related disorders raises the possibility that these two organ systems are interconnected in terms of disease pathogenesis. This review focuses on the latest evidence demonstrating the impact of bone-derived cells and bone-derived proteins on the central nervous system, and on how this may be relevant in the progression of Alzheimer's disease and for the identification of novel therapeutic approaches to treat this neurodegenerative disorder.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, congenital malformation and infection are still a major challenge for clinicians. Biomimetic bone materials have attracted more and more attention in science and industry. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) have been increasingly recognized as an inducible factor for osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Spatiotemporal release of insulin may serve as the promising strategy. Considering the successful application of nanoparticles in drug loading, various insulin delivery systems have been developed, including (poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLGA), hydroxyapatite (HA), gelatin, chitosan, alginate, and (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate, γ-PGA/β-TCP). Here, we have reviewed the progress on nanoparticles carrying insulin/IGF for bone regeneration. In addition, the key regulatory mechanism of insulin in bone regeneration is also summarized. The future application strategies and the challenges in bone regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC) is an endocrine hormone that regulates glucose metabolism.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum OC levels and glucose metabolism after trauma.This was a retrospective study of trauma patients admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine between October 2017 and April 2019. Age, height, weight, injury severity score, and previous medical history were recorded. Serum N-terminal mid-fragment of OC (N-MID OC), hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), C-peptide, and other biochemical indicators were measured. Differences between the HbA1c-L (HbA1c <6.5%) and HbA1c-H (HbA1c ≥6.5%) groups were compared. The association of N-MID OC with indicators of glucose metabolism was analyzed.Out of 394 trauma patients, leukocyte and FPG levels in the HbA1c-H group (n = 93) were higher (P < .05), while N-MID OC levels were lower (P = .011) than the HbA1c-L group (n = 301). N-MID OC was negatively correlated with HbA1c in the total population (r = -0.273, P < .001) as well as in the HbA1c-L (r = -0.289, P < .001) and HbA1c-H (r = -0.390, P < 0.001) groups, and was positively correlated with C-peptide in the HbA1c-H group (r = 0.395, P < .001). The different quartiles in the HbA1c-L showed that N-MID OC declined with increasing HbA1c, which was higher than N-MID OC levels in the HbA1c-H group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that serum HbA1c was independently associated with serum OC levels after trauma (β=-1.608, P < .001).This study strongly suggests the importance of serum OC on glucose metabolism in trauma patients. HbA1c is independently associated with serum OC levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone may regulate glucose homeostasis via uncarboxylated bioactive osteocalcin (ucOCN). This study explored whether changes in ucOCN and bone remodeling are associated with change in glucose homeostasis after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). METHODS In this secondary exploratory analysis of a 1-year prospective observational study, 16 participants (11 men/5 women; 69% with type 2 diabetes; mean BMI 49.4 kg/m2) were assessed before, 3 days, 3 months and 12 months after BPD. Changes in plasma ucOCN and bone markers (C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), total osteocalcin (OCN)) were correlated with changes in insulin resistance or sensitivity indices (HOMA-IR; adipose tissue insulin resistance index (ADIPO-IR) and insulin sensitivity index (SI) from the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp), insulin secretion rate (ISR) from the hyperglycemic clamp, and disposition index (DI: SI × ISR) using Spearman correlations before and after adjustment for weight loss. RESULTS ucOCN was unchanged at 3 days but increased dramatically at 3 months (+257%) and 12 months (+498%). Change in ucOCN correlated significantly with change in CTX at 3 months (r = 0.62, p = 0.015) and 12 months (r = 0.64, p = 0.025) before adjustment for weight loss. It also correlated significantly with change in fasting insulin (r = -0.53, p = 0.035), HOMA-IR (r = -0.54, p = 0.033) and SI (r = 0.52, p = 0.041) at 3 days, and ADIPO-IR (r = -0.69, p = 0.003) and HbA1c (r = -0.69, p = 0.005) at 3 months. Change in OCN did not correlate with any glucose homeostasis indices. Results were similar after adjustment for weight loss. CONCLUSION The increase in ucOCN may be associated with the improvement in insulin resistance after BPD, independently of weight loss. These findings need to be confirmed in larger, less heterogeneous populations.

JBMR Plus 2020; 4:e10389. [PMID: 32995692 PMCID: PMC7507374 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10389] [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] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Revised: 06/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) increases fracture risk across the lifespan. The low bone turnover associated with T1D is thought to be related to glycemic control, but it is unclear whether peripheral hyperinsulinemia due to dependence on exogenous insulin has an independent effect on suppressing bone turnover. The purpose of this study was to test the bone turnover marker (BTM) response to acute hyperinsulinemia. Fifty‐eight adults aged 18 to 65 years with T1D over 2 years were enrolled at seven T1D Exchange Clinic Network sites. Participants had T1D diagnosis between age 6 months to 45 years. Participants were stratified based on their residual endogenous insulin secretion measured as peak C‐peptide response to a mixed meal tolerance test. BTMs (CTX, P1NP, sclerostin [SCL], osteonectin [ON], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], osteocalcin [OCN], osteoprotegerin [OPG], osteopontin [OPN], and IGF‐1) were assessed before and at the end of a 2‐hour hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp (HEC). Baseline ON (r = −0.30, p = .022) and OCN (r = −0.41, p = .002) were negatively correlated with age at T1D diagnosis, but baseline BTMs were not associated with HbA1c. During the HEC, P1NP decreased significantly (−14.5 ± 44.3%; p = .020) from baseline. OCN, ON, and IGF‐1 all significantly increased (16.0 ± 13.1%, 29.7 ± 31.7%, 34.1 ± 71.2%, respectively; all p < .001) during the clamp. The increase in SCL was not significant (7.3 ± 32.9%, p = .098), but the decrease in CTX (−12.4 ± 48.9, p = .058) neared significance. ALP and OPG were not changed from baseline (p = .23 and p = .77, respectively). Baseline ON and SCL were higher in men, but OPG was higher in women (all p ≤ .029). SCL was the only BTM that changed differently in women than men. There were no differences in baseline BTMs or change in BTMs between C‐peptide groups. Exogenous hyperinsulinemia acutely alters bone turnover, suggesting a need to determine whether strategies to promote healthy remodeling may protect bone quality in T1D. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Under-carboxylated osteocalcin (UcOC), a bone-released hormone is suggested to regulate energy metabolism. Pregnancy and lactation physiological conditions that require high levels of energy. The current study attempts to examine whether UcOC is involved in regulating energy metabolism during these conditions using adult Wistar rats. METHODS AND RESULTS Insulin tolerance tests indicated insulin resistance during late pregnancy (day 19 of pregnancy; P19) and insulin sensitivity during early lactation (day 6 of lactation; L6). Gene expression analyses suggested that muscle glucose metabolism was downregulated during P19 and enhanced during L6. Concomitantly, circulatory UcOC levels were lower during pregnancy but higher during early lactation; the rise in UcOC levels was tightly linked to the lactation process. Altering endogenous UcOC levels pharmacologically with warfarin and alendronate in P19 and L6 rats changed whole-body insulin response and muscle glucose transporter (Glut4) expression. Glut4 expression can be increased by either UcOC or estrogen receptors (ERs), both of which act independent of each other. A high fat diet decreased UcOC levels and insulin sensitivity in lactating rats, suggesting that diet can compromise UcOC-established energy homeostasis. Gene expression of lipid metabolism markers and triglyceride levels suggested that UcOC suppression during early pregnancy is an essential step in maternal lipid storage. CONCLUSION Taken together, we found that UcOC plays an important role in energy homeostasis via regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy and lactation.

Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus on Peri-implantitis. Trends Endocrinol Metab 2020; 31:596-610.

Abstract
Literature has reported that up to 50% of dental implants may be affected by peri-implantitis, a bacteria-induced chronic inflammatory process, which promotes osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, leading to progressive bone loss around implants. Current evidence points toward an increased risk for the development of peri-implantitis in both obesity/metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) conditions relative to the healthy population. Currently, there is no effective treatment for peri-implantitis and the 50% prevalence in MetS and DM, along with its predicted increase in the worldwide population, presents a major concern in implant dentistry as hyperglycemic conditions are associated with bone-healing impairment; this may be through dysfunction of osteocalcin-induced glucose metabolism. The MetS/DM proinflammatory systemic condition and altered immune/microbiome response affect both catabolic and anabolic events of bone-healing that include increased osteoclastogenesis and compromised osteoblast activity, which could be explained by the dysfunction of insulin receptor that led to activation of signals related with osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, chronic hyperglycemia along with associated micro- and macro-vascular ailments leads to delayed/impaired wound healing due to activation of pathways that are particularly important in initiating events linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis; this may be through deactivation of AKT/PKB protein, which possesses a pivotal role in drive survival and eNOS signaling. This review presents an overview of the local and systemic mechanisms synergistically affecting bone-healing impairment in MetS/DM individuals, as well as a rationale for hierarchical animal model selection, in an effort to characterize peri-implantitis disease and treatment.

Abstract
Despite the brilliant bioactive performance of tantalum as an orthopedic biomaterial verified through laboratory researches and clinical practice in the past decades, scarce evidences about the essential mechanisms of how tantalum contributes to osteogenesis were systematically discussed. Up to now, a few studies have uncovered preliminarily the biological mechanism of tantalum in osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis; it is of great necessity to map out the panorama through which tantalum contributes to new bone formation. This minireview summarized current advances to demonstrate the probable signaling pathways and underlying molecular cascades through which tantalum orchestrates osteogenesis, which mainly contain Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, BMP signaling pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway, and integrin signaling pathway. Limits of subsistent studies and further work are also discussed, providing a novel vision for the study and application of tantalum.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic peptides are administered via parenteral route due to poor absorption in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, instability in gastric acid, and GI enzymes. Polymeric drug delivery systems have achieved significant interest in pharmaceutical research due to its feasibility in protecting proteins, tissue targeting, and controlled drug release pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, the size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential of insulin-loaded nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering and laser Doppler micro-electrophoresis. The main and interaction effects of chitosan concentration and Dz13Scr concentration on the physicochemical properties of the prepared insulin-loaded nanoparticles (size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential) were evaluated statistically using analysis of variance. A robust procedure of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was developed to quantify insulin release in simulated GI buffer. Results and discussion: We reported on the effect of two independent parameters, including polymer concentration and oligonucleotide concentration, on the physical characteristics of particles. Chitosan concentration was significant in predicting the size of insulin-loaded CS-Dz13Scr particles. In terms of zeta potential, both chitosan concentration and squared term of chitosan were significant factors that affect the surface charge of particles, which was attributed to the availability of positively-charged amino groups during interaction with negatively-charged Dz13Scr. The excipients used in this study could fabricate nanoparticles with negligible toxicity in GI cells and skeletal muscle cells. The developed formulation could conserve the physicochemical properties after being stored for 1 month at 4 °C. CONCLUSION The obtained results revealed satisfactory results for insulin-loaded CS-Dz13Scr nanoparticles (159.3 nm, pdi 0.331, -1.08 mV). No such similar study has been reported to date to identify the main and interactive significance of the above parameters for the characterization of insulin-loaded polymeric-oligonucleotide nanoparticles. This research is of importance for the understanding and development of protein-loaded nanoparticles for oral delivery.

Abstract
GPRC6A is proposed to regulate energy metabolism in mice, but in humans a KGKY polymorphism in the third intracellular loop (ICL3) is proposed to result in intracellular retention and loss-of-function. To test physiological importance of this human polymorphism in vivo, we performed targeted genomic humanization of mice by using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated protein 9) system to replace the RKLP sequence in the ICL3 of the GPRC6A mouse gene with the uniquely human KGKY sequence to create Gprc6a-KGKY-knockin mice. Knock-in of a human KGKY sequence resulted in a reduction in basal blood glucose levels and increased circulating serum insulin and FGF-21 concentrations. Gprc6a-KGKY-knockin mice demonstrated improved glucose tolerance, despite impaired insulin sensitivity and enhanced pyruvate-mediated gluconeogenesis. Liver transcriptome analysis of Gprc6a-KGKY-knockin mice identified alterations in glucose, glycogen and fat metabolism pathways. Thus, the uniquely human GPRC6A-KGKY variant appears to be a gain-of-function polymorphism that positively regulates energy metabolism in mice.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with increased risk for fragility fractures. However, the cellular mechanisms are unknown. Using a translational approach combining RNA sequencing and cellular analyses, we investigated bone marrow stromal stem cells (BM-MSCs) of 54 men divided into lean, overweight, and obese groups on the basis of BMI. Compared with BM-MSCs obtained from lean, obese BM-MSCs exhibited a shift of molecular phenotype toward committed adipocytic progenitors and increased expression of metabolic genes involved in glycolytic and oxidoreductase activity. Interestingly, compared with paired samples of peripheral adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (AT-MSCs), insulin signaling of obese BM-MSCs was enhanced and accompanied by increased abundance of insulin receptor positive (IR+) and leptin receptor positive (LEPR+) cells in BM-MSC cultures. Their hyper-activated metabolic state was accompanied by an accelerated senescence phenotype. Our data provide a plausible explanation for the bone fragility in obesity caused by enhanced insulin signaling leading to accelerated metabolic senescence of BM-MSCs.

Abstract
Exercise is an effective strategy for preventing and treating obesity and its related cardiometabolic disorders, resulting in significant loss of body fat mass, white adipose tissue browning, redistribution of energy substrates, optimization of global energy expenditure, enhancement of hypothalamic circuits that control appetite-satiety and energy expenditure, and decreased systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. Novel exercise-inducible soluble factors, including myokines, hepatokines, and osteokines, and immune cytokines and adipokines are hypothesized to play an important role in the body's response to exercise. To our knowledge, no review has provided a comprehensive integrative overview of these novel molecular players and the mechanisms involved in the redistribution of metabolic fuel during and after exercise, the loss of weight and fat mass, and reduced inflammation. In this review, we explain the potential role of these exercise-inducible factors, namely myokines, such as irisin, IL-6, IL-15, METRNL, BAIBA, and myostatin, and hepatokines, in particular selenoprotein P, fetuin A, FGF21, ANGPTL4, and follistatin. We also describe the function of osteokines, specifically osteocalcin, and of adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin, and resistin. We also emphasize an integrative overview of the pleiotropic mechanisms, the metabolic pathways, and the inter-organ crosstalk involved in energy expenditure, fat mass loss, reduced inflammation, and healthy weight induced by exercise.

Abstract
Obesity and latent inflammation can give rise to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Here we established an insulin resistance model of osteoblasts to explore the restoration effect of anti-inflammatory interleukin-4 (IL-4) on insulin sensitivity and its mechanism. We found that IL-4 inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Insulation resistance significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1; Tyr612), Akt (Ser473), and AS160 (Ser318) proteins. The addition of IL-4 to the insulin resistance model led to a dose-dependent stimulation of the phosphorylation of IRS1, Akt, and AS160. IL-4 fully restored the activation of the insulin cascade in insulin-resistant cells at the concentration of 50 ng/ml. Additionally, IL-4 promoted the expression of IRS1 in a time-dependent manner. We conjecture that IL-4 restores insulin sensitivity in osteoblasts by upregulating the expression of IRS1. It was also found that IL-4 promoted the expression of osteoprotegerin depending on the time of exposure. This effect may play an important role in the regulation of the energy metabolism in the whole body.

What is the function of osteocalcin? J Oral Biosci 2020; 62:223-227. [PMID: 32535287 DOI: 10.1016/j.job.2020.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteocalcin is the most abundant non-collagenous protein in bone and is specifically expressed in osteoblasts. Previous studies using osteocalcin-deficient (Ocn-/-) mice demonstrated that osteocalcin inhibits bone formation, and serum uncarboxylated osteocalcin functions as a hormone that improves glucose metabolism, induces testosterone synthesis in the testes, and maintains muscle mass. Furthermore, the relationship between serum osteocalcin and glucose metabolism or cardiovascular risk in humans has been reported. However, new Ocn-/- mice exhibited different phenotypes. HIGHLIGHT Bone volume, formation, and resorption were normal in the new Ocn-/- mice. The orientation of collagen fibers was parallel to the bone longitudinal direction and the size of apatite crystals was normal, but the c-axis of apatite crystals was random and bone strength was reduced in new Ocn-/- mice. Glucose metabolism, testosterone synthesis, and muscle mass were normal in new Ocn-/- mice. Exercise improved glucose metabolism and increased bone formation, leading to an increase in the serum osteocalcin level, which is a marker for bone formation. CONCLUSION Contrary to previous findings, new Ocn-/- mice revealed that osteocalcin has no function in the regulation of bone quantity, but instead, functions to direct the parallel alignment of the c-axis of apatite crystals with collagen fibrils. Moreover, it has no physiological function as a hormone that regulates glucose metabolism, testosterone synthesis, or muscle mass. These controversial phenotypes require further investigation. The relationship of serum osteocalcin with glucose metabolism or cardiovascular risk suggests the importance of exercise for their improvement.

Abstract
The receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) (RANK), its ligand (RANKL), and the decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) are a triad of proteins that regulate bone metabolism, and serum OPG is considered a biomarker for cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 diabetes; however, the implications of OPG in adipose tissue metabolism remains elusive. In this study, we investigate RANK-RANKL-OPG signaling in white adipose tissue browning. Histological analysis of osteoprotegerin knockout (OPG-/-) mice showed subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) browning, resistance for high-fat diet-induced weight gain, and preserved glucose metabolism compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells from sWAT of OPG-/- mice showed multilocular morphology and higher expression of brown adipocyte marker genes compared with those from the WT group. Infusion of RANKL induced browning and elevated respiratory rates in sWAT, along with increased whole body oxygen consumption in mice measured by indirect calorimetry. Subcutaneous WAT-derived SVF and 3T3-L1 cells, but not mature white adipocytes, differentiated into beige adipose tissue in the presence of RANKL. Moreover, SVF cells, even under white adipocyte differentiation, showed multilocular lipid droplet, lower lipid content, and increased expression of beige adipocyte markers with RANKL stimulation. In this study, we show for the first time the contribution of RANKL to increase energy expenditure by inducing beige adipocyte differentiation in preadipocytes.

Abstract
The relationship between osteoblast-specific insulin signaling, osteocalcin activation and gluco-metabolic homeostasis has proven to be complex and potentially inconsistent across animal-model systems and in humans. Moreover, the impact of postnatally acquired, osteoblast-specific insulin deficiency on the pancreas-to-skeleton-to-pancreas circuit has not been studied. To explore this relationship, we created a model of postnatal elimination of insulin signaling in osteoprogenitors. Osteoprogenitor-selective ablation of the insulin receptor was induced after ~10 weeks of age in IRl°x/lox/Osx-Cre+/- genotypic male and female mice (designated postnatal-OIRKO). At ~21 weeks of age, mice were then phenotypically and metabolically characterized. Postnatal-OIRKO mice demonstrated a significant reduction in circulating concentrations of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), in both males and females compared with control littermates. However, no differences were observed between postnatal-OIRKO and control mice in: body composition (lean or fat mass); fasting serum insulin; HbA1c; glucose dynamics during glucose tolerance testing; or in pancreatic islet area or islet morphology, demonstrating that while ucOC is impacted by insulin signaling in osteoprogenitors, there appears to be little to no relationship between osteocalcin, or its derivative (ucOC), and glucose homeostasis in this model.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OCN), the most abundant noncollagenous protein in the bone matrix, is reported to be a bone-derived endocrine hormone with wide-ranging effects on many aspects of physiology, including glucose metabolism and male fertility. Many of these observations were made using an OCN-deficient mouse allele (Osc–) in which the 2 OCN-encoding genes in mice, Bglap and Bglap2, were deleted in ES cells by homologous recombination. Here we describe mice with a new Bglap and Bglap2 double-knockout (dko) allele (Bglap/2p.Pro25fs17Ter) that was generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Mice homozygous for this new allele do not express full-length Bglap or Bglap2 mRNA and have no immunodetectable OCN in their serum. FTIR imaging of cortical bone in these homozygous knockout animals finds alterations in the collagen maturity and carbonate to phosphate ratio in the cortical bone, compared with wild-type littermates. However, μCT and 3-point bending tests do not find differences from wild-type littermates with respect to bone mass and strength. In contrast to the previously reported OCN-deficient mice with the Osc−allele, serum glucose levels and male fertility in the OCN-deficient mice with the Bglap/2pPro25fs17Ter allele did not have significant differences from wild-type littermates. We cannot explain the absence of endocrine effects in mice with this new knockout allele. Possible explanations include the effects of each mutated allele on the transcription of neighboring genes, or differences in genetic background and environment. So that our findings can be confirmed and extended by other interested investigators, we are donating this new Bglap and Bglap2 double-knockout strain to the Jackson Laboratories for academic distribution. Cells that make and maintain bone express proteins that function either locally or systemically. The former proteins, such as type 1 collagen, affect the material properties of the skeleton, while the latter, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, enable the skeleton to communicate with other organ systems. Mutations that affect the functions of most bone-cell-expressed proteins cause diseases that have similar features in humans and other mammals such as mice, for example, brittle bone diseases for type 1 collagen mutations and hypophosphatemic rickets for mutations in fibroblast growth factor 23. Our study focuses on another bone-cell-expressed protein, osteocalcin, which has been suggested to function locally to affect bone strength and systemically as a hormone. Studies using osteocalcin knockout mice led other investigators to suggest endocrine roles for osteocalcin in regulating blood glucose, male fertility, muscle mass, brain development, behavior, and cognition. We therefore decided to generate a new strain of osteocalcin knockout mice that could also be used to investigate these nonskeletal effects. To our surprise, the osteocalcin knockout mice we created did not significantly differ from wild-type mice for the three phenotypes we examined: bone strength, blood glucose, and male fertility. Our data are consistent with findings from osteocalcin knockout rats but are inconsistent with data from the original osteocalcin knockout mice. Because we do not know why our new strain fails to recapitulate the phenotypes previously reported for another knockout mouse stain, we have donated our mice to a public repository so that they can be easily obtained and studied in other academic laboratories.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has reproductive and metabolic aspects that may affect bone health. Controversial results from different studies regarding the risk of fractures, bone mineral density (BMD) or bone markers led to uncertainty whether PCOS might improve or deteriorate bone health. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE This study aimed to investigate the impact of PCOS on bone markers, BMD and fracture risk. SEARCH METHODS A systematic review and a meta-analysis were carried out. PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched for eligible studies from 1st of January of 1990 to 9th of October of 2018. Eligible studies enrolled women older than 18 years with PCOS, which should be diagnosed according to the Rotterdam Consensus, the Androgen Excess Society, the National Institutes of Health Consensus or the International Classification of Diseases. The studies were grouped according to patient mean BMI: <27 kg/m2 or ≥27 kg/m2. The results were polled as mean difference (MD), standardized MD (SMD) and hazard ratio (HR). OUTCOMES Overall, 921 studies were retrieved, and 31 duplicated studies were removed. After screening the titles and abstracts, 80 studies were eligible for full text reading. Of those, 23 studies remained for qualitative synthesis. With the exception of one study, all studies were considered high quality based on the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS; score ≥6). Meta-analysis was performed in 21 studies, with a total of 31 383 women with PCOS and 102 797 controls. Women with PCOS with BMI <27 kg/m2 had lower BMD of the total femur (MD, -0.04; 95% CI, -0.07 to 0.00; I2 = 31%; P = 0.22) and spine (MD, -0.07; 95% CI, -0.13 to -0.01; I2 = 70%; P < 0.01) when compared with the control group, whereas for women with BMI ≥27 kg/m2 no difference was observed (femur: MD, 0.02; 95% CI, -0.02 to 0.05; I2 = 20%, P = 0.29; spine: MD, 0.02; 95% CI, -0.06 to 0.05; I2 = 0%; P = 0.84). Osteocalcin was remarkably reduced in women with PCOS with BMI <27 kg/m2 (SMD, -2.68; 95% CI, -4.70 to -0.67; I2 = 98%; P < 0.01), but in women with BMI ≥27 kg/m2, there were no differences between PCOS and controls. Few studies (n = 3) addressed the incidence of bone fractures in women with PCOS. The HR for total bone fractures did not identify differences between women with PCOS and controls. WIDER IMPLICATIONS On the basis of the available evidence, it is possible to assume that PCOS in women with BMI <27 kg/m2 is associated with reduced BMD in the spine and femur, and decreased bone formation, as manifested by lower levels of circulating osteocalcin. These findings suggest that bone parameters in PCOS may be linked, to some extent, to adiposity. These studies included premenopausal women, who have already achieved peak bone mass. Hence, further prospective studies are necessary to clarify the existence of increased risk of fractures in women with PCOS.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs), such as alendronate, are the most widely prescribed medications for diseases involving bone, with nearly 200 million prescriptions written annually. Recently, widespread use of N-BPs has been challenged due to the risk of rare but traumatic side effects such as atypical femoral fracture (AFF) and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). N-BPs bind to and inhibit farnesyl diphosphate synthase, resulting in defects in protein prenylation. Yet, it remains poorly understood what other cellular factors might allow N-BPs to exert their pharmacological effects. Here, we performed genome-wide studies in cells and patients to identify the poorly characterized gene, ATRAID Loss of ATRAID function results in selective resistance to N-BP-mediated loss of cell viability and the prevention of alendronate-mediated inhibition of prenylation. ATRAID is required for alendronate inhibition of osteoclast function, and ATRAID-deficient mice have impaired therapeutic responses to alendronate in both postmenopausal and senile (old age) osteoporosis models. Last, we performed exome sequencing on patients taking N-BPs that suffered ONJ or an AFF. ATRAID is one of three genes that contain rare nonsynonymous coding variants in patients with ONJ or an AFF that is also differentially expressed in poor outcome groups of patients treated with N-BPs. We functionally validated this patient variation in ATRAID as conferring cellular hypersensitivity to N-BPs. Our work adds key insight into the mechanistic action of N-BPs and the processes that might underlie differential responsiveness to N-BPs in people.

[PMID: 31970841 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.12987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2019] [Revised: 12/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have increased risk of bone fractures and decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Alterations in bone turnover have been suggested as the link between T1D and the impaired bone health. Furthermore, bone turnover has been suggested to have beneficial effects on glucose metabolism. This study aimed at describing bone turnover markers (BTM), and the relationship with glycemic control, in children and adolescents with T1D. METHODS A total of 173 (47% girls) children and adolescents aged 7.7 to 17.5 years with T1D for more than 1 year were included. Participants were evaluated by BMD together with measurements of selected BTM; two formation markers: osteocalcin (OCN) and procollagen type-1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and one resorption marker, C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type-1 collagen (CTX). BTM were converted into Z-scores utilizing new national references. RESULTS Mean OCN Z-score (-0.68 ± 1.31), P1NP Z-score (-0.33 ± 1.03) and CTX Z-score (-0.43 ± 1.10) were all significantly lower than the reference population (P < .001). No associations were seen between BTM and T1D duration. BMD Z-score was comparable to the reference population and associated with none of individual BTMs. CTX Z-score was negatively associated with HbA1c (P = .007) independent of both exogenous and residual endogenous insulin. CONCLUSIONS Markers of bone formation and resorption were decreased in children and adolescents with T1D. CTX Z-score associated negatively with HbA1c adjusted for insulin treatment and endogenous insulin production indicating a potential association between CTX and insulin sensitivity. The long-term consequences of decreased BTM on BMD need further attention.

Abstract
AIMS Osteocalcin contributes to the regulation of endocrine system. However, the association between osteocalcin and ketosis has not been evaluated. We thus aimed to explore the relationship between total osteocalcin and risk of ketosis in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 6157 diabetes patients from Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital between 1 January 2011 and 1 March 2017. Six hundred eight subjects were enrolled in the retrospective cross-sectional study: 304 T2DM patients with ketosis whose age, gender, and body mass index were matched with 304 T2DM patients without ketosis. A further retrospective nested case-control study was conducted in 252 T2DM patients without ketosis for a mean duration of 21.58 ± 12.43 months to investigate the occurrence of ketosis. RESULTS Osteocalcin levels were negatively correlated with blood ketones (adjusted r = -0.263) and urine ketones (adjusted r = -0.183). The inverse dose-dependent relationship of osteocalcin and risk of ketosis was present across osteocalcin level quintiles (top quintile as the reference, adjusted odds ratio [95% CI] = 2.56 [0.80-8.17], 3.71 [0.90-15.29], 10.77 [2.63-44.15], 23.81 [4.32-131.17] per osteocalcin quintile, respectively). Ketosis occurred in 17 of the 252 T2DM patients during follow-up. The Cox regression analysis indicated that osteocalcin was an independent protective factor against development of ketosis (adjusted hazard ratio [95% CI]: 0.668 [0.460-0.971]). CONCLUSIONS Total osteocalcin can be used as a predictor of ketosis in T2DM.

Abstract
GPRC6A is a widely expressed G-protein coupled receptor that regulates energy metabolism. Global deletion of Gprc6a in mice is reported to result in a metabolic syndrome-like phenotype and conditional deletion of Gprc6a in pancreatic β-cell and skeletal muscle respectively impair insulin secretion and glucose uptake. In the current study, we explore the hepatic functions of GPRC6A by conditionally deleting Gprc6a in hepatocytes by cross breeding Alb-Cre and Gprc6aflox/flox mice to obtain Gprc6aLiver-cko mice. Gprc6aLiver-cko mice on a normal diet showed excessive hepatic fat accumulation and glycogen depletion. These mice also exhibit impaired glucose and pyruvate tolerance, but normal insulin sensitivity. Decreased circulating FGF-21 levels and FGF-21 message expression in the liver were found in Gprc6aLiver-cko mice. Hepatic transcriptome analysis identified alterations in multiple pathways regulating glucose, fat and glycogen metabolism in Gprc6aLiver-cko mice. Taken together, our studies suggest that GPRC6A directly regulates hepatic metabolism as well as regulates the production and release of FGF-21 to control systemic energy homeostasis. GPRC6A's unique regulation of β-cell, skeletal muscle and hepatic function may represent a new therapeutic target for treating disordered energy metabolism metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Bones undergo continuous cycles of bone remodelling that rely on the balance between bone formation and resorption. This balance allows the bone to adapt to changes in mechanical loads and repair microdamages. However, this balance is susceptible to upset in various conditions, leading to impaired bone remodelling and abnormal bones. This is usually indicated by abnormal bone mineral density (BMD), an indicator of bone strength. Despite this, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibit normal to high BMD, yet still suffer from an increased risk of fractures. The activity of the bone cells is also altered as indicated by the reduced levels of bone turnover markers in T2DM observed in the circulation. The underlying mechanisms behind these skeletal outcomes in patients with T2DM remain unclear. This review summarises recent findings regarding inflammatory cytokine factors associated with T2DM to understand the mechanisms involved and considers potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Studies in mice have suggested that osteocalcin plays an important role in glucose and fat metabolism. Since anti-resorptive drugs reduce circulating levels of osteocalcin they might be associated with increased fat mass and an increased risk of diabetes. Positive changes in body weight have been found in trials of alendronate and denosumab, but no significant effect in a previous trial of zoledronate. Whether those weight differences were in fat or lean mass is unknown. There were no effects of anti-resorptive treatments on fasting glucose concentrations or incidence of diabetes in those three studies. We have used our recent trial comparing zoledronate and placebo over 6 years in 2000 older osteopenic women to re-examine these questions. Both treatment groups lost body weight during the study (placebo 1.65 kg, zoledronate 1.05 kg), and this was significantly greater in the placebo group (P = 0.01). Both groups lost lean mass, and this loss was marginally (0.17 kg) but significantly (P = 0.02) greater in those receiving zoledronate. The placebo group had a mean loss of fat mass of 0.63 kg but there was no change in fat mass in the zoledronate group (between-groups comparison, P = 0.007). In the placebo group, there were 20 new diagnoses of diabetes, and in the zoledronate group, 19 (P = 0.87). Zoledronate prevented age-related loss of fat mass in these late postmenopausal women. The present study is the first to document a significant effect of zoledronate treatment on body weight, confirming results previously found with alendronate and denosumab. It also demonstrates that this is principally an effect to maintain fat mass rather than influencing lean mass, raising an important physiological question as to how anti-resorptive drugs have this effect on intermediary metabolism. It is possible that this anti-catabolic action contributes to the beneficial effects of anti-resorptive drugs on bone and longevity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated early and medium-term changes in bone turnover markers, and their associations with weight loss, total bone mineral density (BMD), and hormonal changes after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). METHODS Ancillary study from a one-year prospective cohort of 16 individuals assessed before, 3 days, 3 and 12 months after BPD. Bone turnover markers (C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), intact osteocalcin (OC), sclerostin, and osteoprotegerin (OPG)) and several hormones were measured at each visit. Total BMD by DXA was assessed at baseline, 3 and 12 months after BPD. Three participants were lost to follow-up. RESULTS CTX increased significantly at 3 days (+ 66%), 3 months (+ 219%), and 12 months (+ 295%). OC decreased at 3 days (- 19%) then increased at 3 months (+ 69%) and 12 months (+ 164%). Change in sclerostin was only significant between 3 days and 3 months (+ 13%), while change in OPG was significant between baseline and 3 days (+ 48%) and baseline and 12 months (+ 45%). CTX increase correlated negatively with weight loss at 3 (r = - 0.63, p = 0.009) and 12 months (r = - 0.58, p = 0.039), and total BMD decrease (r = - 0.67, p = 0.033) at 12 months. Change in insulin and adiponectin correlated with changes in bone turnover markers independently of weight loss. CONCLUSION BPD causes an earlier and greater increase in bone resorption over bone formation markers and a decrease in total BMD. Sclerostin did not increase as expected following extensive weight loss. Changes in insulin and adiponectin seem to play a role in the activation of bone remodeling after BPD.

Abstract
Context: The link between obesity and bone health is controversial. Most studies classify obesity based on body mass index. However, differences in metabolic status may affect bone health. Purpose: To explore the potential relationship of metabolic obesity with forearm bone mineral density (BMD) in a northern Chinese population. Methods: This is a retrospective study involving a total of 2122 subjects divided into four groups: a metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) group, a metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) group, a metabolically unhealthy, but normal-weight (MUNW) group, and a metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) group. Analysis of covariance was performed to compare forearm BMD among the groups. The covariates included age, weight, and height, along with menopause status in women. Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression models were used to explore the associations of forearm BMD with clinical parameters. Results: Young middle-aged men with MHO had significantly higher forearm BMD than those in the MUO group. In addition, forearm BMD of young middle-aged women was higher in the MHNW group than in the MUNW group. Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis suggested that homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was negatively correlated with forearm BMD in young middle-aged male subjects with MUO, and waist circumference (WC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) showed a significant negative relationship with forearm BMD in young middle-aged female MUNW subjects. Conclusions: Men in the MUO group and women in the MUNW group were more likely to have lower forearm BMD if they were of young middle age. Metabolic obesity could be a better method for defining obesity when exploring the relationship between obesity and bone health in Chinese individuals. WC, LDL-C, and insulin resistance might be negative predictors of bone health.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OCN) is a bone-derived hormone involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism. In serum, OCN exists in carboxylated and uncarboxylated forms (ucOCN), and studies in rodents suggest that ucOCN is the bioactive form of this hormone. Whether this is also the case in humans is unclear, because a reliable assay to measure ucOCN is not available. Here, we established and validated a new immunoassay (ELISA) measuring human ucOCN and used it to determine the level of bioactive OCN in two cohorts of overweight or obese subjects, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). The ELISA could specifically detect ucOCN concentrations ranging from 0.037 to 1.8 ng/mL. In a first cohort of overweight or obese postmenopausal women without diabetes (n = 132), ucOCN correlated negatively with fasting glucose (r = -0.18, P = 0.042) and insulin resistance assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (r = -0.18, P = 0.038) and positively with insulin sensitivity assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (r = 0.18, P = 0.043) or insulin sensitivity index derived from an oral glucose tolerance test (r = 0.26, P = 0.003). In a second cohort of subjects with severe obesity (n = 16), ucOCN was found to be lower in subjects with T2D compared with those without T2D (2.76 ± 0.38 versus 4.52 ± 0.06 ng/mL, P = 0.009) and to negatively correlate with fasting glucose (r = -0.50, P = 0.046) and glycated hemoglobin (r = -0.57, P = 0.021). Moreover, the subjects with ucOCN levels below 3 ng/mL had a reduced insulin secretion rate during a hyperglycemic clamp (P = 0.03). In conclusion, ucOCN measured with this novel and specific assay is inversely associated with insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction in humans.

Abstract
Obesity and diabetes are important metabolic diseases and a major public health problem among the world, they have serious health and economic complications. Overweight and obesity are increased risk for deficiency of vitamin particularly shortage of fat soluble-vitamins. Studies reported that vitamin K supplementation reduces oxidative stress and metabolic risk biomarkers for diabetes, as well as reduces progression of insulin resistance. Vitamin K-dependent-protein osteocalcin (bone derived hormone) plays crucial roles in energy metabolism. There is a clear association between circulating vitamin k and dependent-osteocalcin concentrations with obesity and risk of Type 2 diabetes. Osteocalcin through molecular mechanisms improves insulin resistance, lipid and glucose profile, and mediate vitamin K positive effects. Insulin also signals osteocalcin to regulate bone mineralization. Normal carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins/ hormones is a key step in preventing apoptosis and calcification of vascular endothelial cells. A missing relationship between bone, glucose and fat metabolism could clarify and manage many metabolic mechanisms. This review focuses on the physiological relationship between vitamin K-dependent-osteocalcin, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases through some molecular proteins and hormones including adipokines. A better understanding of the mechanism of action of osteocalcin modulated by vitamin K could help in implementing therapeutic drugs to cure metabolic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In rodents, osteocalcin (OCN) stimulates insulin production and insulin sensitivity, both important factors during partial remission in humans with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, decreased OCN has been reported in both adult and pediatric T1D. This study aims at investigating bone turnover and partial remission in children and adolescents with recent onset T1D. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ninety-nine individuals (33% girls) were recruited within 3 months of T1D onset and examined three times, 6 months apart. Outcome variables were bone formation markers OCN and procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and the bone resorption marker C-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX). Dependent variables included IDAA1c (surrogate marker of partial remission), total body bone mineral density (BMD) and stimulated C-peptide as representative of endogenous insulin production. RESULTS OCN- and P1NP Z-scores were significantly decreased throughout the study, whereas CTX Z-scores were increased. None of the bone turnover markers changed significantly between visits. Total body BMD Z-score did not change during the study but was significantly higher than the reference population at visit 2 (P = .035). There were no differences in the bone turnover markers for those in partial remission as defined by either C-peptide or IDAA1c at any visit. The individual change in CTX Z-score was negatively associated with the increase of IDAA1c (P = .030) independent of C-peptide decline (P = .034). CONCLUSION Bone turnover markers indicate increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation during the first year of T1D. The negative association between bone resorption and IDAA1c might represent compensatory mechanisms affecting insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Bone and muscle represent a single functional system and are tightly connected to each other. Indeed, diseases characterized by alterations of muscle physiology have effects on bone remodeling and structure and vice versa. Muscle influence on bone has been deeply studied, and recent studies identified irisin as new molecule involved in this crosstalk. Muscle regulation by bone needs to be extensively investigated since in the last few years osteocalcin was recognized as a key molecule in the bone–muscle interaction. Osteocalcin can exist in two forms with different degrees of carboxylation. The undercarboxylated form of osteocalcin is a hormone released by the bone matrix during the osteoclast bone resorption and can bind its G-protein coupled receptor GPRC6A expressed in the muscle, thus regulating its function. Recently, this hormone was described as an antiaging molecule for its ability to regulate bone, muscle and cognitive functions. Indeed, the features of this bone-related hormone were used to test a new therapeutic approach for sarcopenia, since injection of osteocalcin in older mice induces the acquirement of physical abilities of younger animals. Even if this approach should be tested in humans, osteocalcin represents the most surprising molecule in endocrine regulation by the skeleton.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a severe bone disease characterized by a decrease in the density and structure of bones, with high risks of fractures. Pilose antler peptide (PAP), extracted and purified from deer antlers, can promote regeneration and fracture healing, and strengthen sinews and bone. To determine whether PAP can promote osteoblast development and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its functions, the present study investigated the effects of PAP on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and mineralization, and the role of the insulin signaling pathway using MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase activity assay, western blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The present results suggested that PAP promoted osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vitro via the insulin signaling pathway. The effect of PAP on insulin signaling in osteoblasts may be mediated via the ERK pathway and partially by the PI3K/Akt pathway. The present results indicated that PAP could potentially be developed as an alternative treatment strategy for bone diseases related to diabetes characterized by insulin signaling impairment.

Osteocalcin Regulates Arterial Calcification Via Altered Wnt Signaling and Glucose Metabolism. J Bone Miner Res 2020; 35:357-367.

Abstract
Arterial calcification is an important hallmark of cardiovascular disease and shares many similarities with skeletal mineralization. The bone-specific protein osteocalcin (OCN) is an established marker of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) osteochondrogenic transdifferentiation and a known regulator of glucose metabolism. However, the role of OCN in controlling arterial calcification is unclear. We hypothesized that OCN regulates calcification in VSMCs and sought to identify the underpinning signaling pathways. Immunohistochemistry revealed OCN co-localization with VSMC calcification in human calcified carotid artery plaques. Additionally, 3 mM phosphate treatment stimulated OCN mRNA expression in cultured VSMCs (1.72-fold, p < 0.001). Phosphate-induced calcification was blunted in VSMCs derived from OCN null mice (Ocn -/- ) compared with cells derived from wild-type (WT) mice (0.37-fold, p < 0.001). Ocn -/- VSMCs showed reduced mRNA expression of the osteogenic marker Runx2 (0.51-fold, p < 0.01) and the sodium-dependent phosphate transporter, PiT1 (0.70-fold, p < 0.001), with an increase in the calcification inhibitor Mgp (1.42-fold, p < 0.05) compared with WT. Ocn -/- VSMCs also showed reduced mRNA expression of Axin2 (0.13-fold, p < 0.001) and Cyclin D (0.71 fold, p < 0.01), markers of Wnt signaling. CHIR99021 (GSK3β inhibitor) treatment increased calcium deposition in WT and Ocn -/- VSMCs (1 μM, p < 0.001). Ocn -/- VSMCs, however, calcified less than WT cells (1 μM; 0.27-fold, p < 0.001). Ocn -/- VSMCs showed reduced mRNA expression of Glut1 (0.78-fold, p < 0.001), Hex1 (0.77-fold, p < 0.01), and Pdk4 (0.47-fold, p < 0.001). This was accompanied by reduced glucose uptake (0.38-fold, p < 0.05). Subsequent mitochondrial function assessment revealed increased ATP-linked respiration (1.29-fold, p < 0.05), spare respiratory capacity (1.59-fold, p < 0.01), and maximal respiration (1.52-fold, p < 0.001) in Ocn -/- versus WT VSMCs. Together these data suggest that OCN plays a crucial role in arterial calcification mediated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling through reduced maximal respiration. Mitochondrial dynamics may therefore represent a novel therapeutic target for clinical intervention. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
