Scaffold-free human mesenchymal stem cell construct geometry regulates long bone regeneration. Commun Biol 2021; 4:89.

Abstract
Biomimetic bone tissue engineering strategies partially recapitulate development. We recently showed functional restoration of femoral defects using scaffold-free human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) condensates featuring localized morphogen presentation with delayed in vivo mechanical loading. Possible effects of construct geometry on healing outcome remain unclear. Here, we hypothesized that localized presentation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 to engineered hMSC tubes mimicking femoral diaphyses induces endochondral ossification, and that TGF-β1 + BMP-2-presenting hMSC tubes enhance defect healing with delayed in vivo loading vs. loosely packed hMSC sheets. Localized morphogen presentation stimulated chondrogenic priming/endochondral differentiation in vitro. Subcutaneously, hMSC tubes formed cartilage templates that underwent bony remodeling. Orthotopically, hMSC tubes stimulated more robust endochondral defect healing vs. hMSC sheets. Tissue resembling normal growth plate was observed with negligible ectopic bone. This study demonstrates interactions between hMSC condensation geometry, morphogen bioavailability, and mechanical cues to recapitulate development for biomimetic bone tissue engineering. Herberg et al. previously showed functional healing of femoral defects using scaffold-free human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) condensates with localized morphogen presentation. In this study, they report the importance of the tubular geometry of MSC condensates in long bone regeneration. Unlike loosely packed hMSC sheets, only hMSC tubes induced regenerate tissue partially resembling normal growth plate.

Abstract
Long bones comprise articular ends (epiphyses) joined by transitional metaphyses and a diaphysis (shaft). The structure of the latter is often viewed as regularly tubular across tetrapods (limbed vertebrates). However, assessments of the bone structure along the whole diaphysis are rare. Here, I assess whole-diaphysis profiles of global compactness (bone fraction) of 164 species of extant and extinct therian mammals (marsupials + placentals) in a phylogenetically informed context. Generally terrestrial, mammals have acquired multiple times the highly specialized aerial, fully aquatic, and subterranean lifestyles, allowing to potentially associate specific traits with these lifestyles. I show that there is a consistent increase in global compactness along the diaphysis in most mammals. This pattern is modified in a limited number of specialized species: all aerial clades (gliders and bats) have rather uniform and low values, while cetaceans' humeral diaphysis is marked by a slightly more compact mid-diaphyseal region. Among subterranean clades, structure alterations are most obvious in fossorial talpids (true moles) and their highly modified humerus. These results call for the investigation of bone structure in whole skeletal elements of key fossils in order to reconstruct the patterns of evolutionary modifications associated with lifestyle transitions.

[PMID: 33424022 PMCID: PMC7797478 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-020-00120-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2019] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease with dysregulated coupling between bone resorption and bone formation, which results in decreased bone mineral density. The MEF2C locus, which encodes the transcription factor MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C (MEF2C), is strongly associated with adult osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. Although the role of MEF2C in bone and cartilage formation by osteoblasts, osteocytes, and chondrocytes has been studied, the role of MEF2C in osteoclasts, which mediate bone resorption, remains unclear. In this study, we identified MEF2C as a positive regulator of human and mouse osteoclast differentiation. While decreased MEF2C expression resulted in diminished osteoclastogenesis, ectopic expression of MEF2C enhanced osteoclast generation. Using transcriptomic and bioinformatic approaches, we found that MEF2C promotes the RANKL-mediated induction of the transcription factors c-FOS and NFATc1, which play a key role in osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, MEF2C binds to FOS regulatory regions to induce c-FOS expression, leading to the activation of NFATC1 and downstream osteoclastogenesis. Inducible deletion of Mef2c in mice resulted in increased bone mass under physiological conditions and protected mice from bone erosion by diminishing osteoclast formation in K/BxN serum induced arthritis, a murine model of inflammatory arthritis. Our findings reveal direct regulation of osteoclasts by MEF2C, thus adding osteoclasts as a cell type in which altered MEF2C expression or function can contribute to pathological bone remodeling.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) migration is promoted by low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), but its mechanism is unclear. Since autophagy is known to regulate cell migration, our study aimed to investigate if LIPUS promotes the migration of MSCs via autophagy regulation. We also aimed to investigate the effects of intra-articular injection of MSCs following LIPUS stimulation on osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage. For the in vitro study, rat bone marrow-derived MSCs were treated with an autophagy inhibitor or agonist, and then they were stimulated by LIPUS. Migration of MSCs was detected by transwell migration assays, and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) protein levels were quantified. For the in vivo study, a rat knee OA model was generated and treated with LIPUS after an intra-articular injection of MSCs with autophagy inhibitor added. The cartilage repair was assessed by histopathological analysis and extracellular matrix protein expression. The in vitro results suggest that LIPUS increased the expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4, and it promoted MSC migration. These effects were inhibited and enhanced by autophagy inhibitor and agonist, respectively. The in vivo results demonstrate that LIPUS significantly enhanced the cartilage repair effects of MSCs on OA, but these effects were blocked by autophagy inhibitor. Our results suggest that the migration of MSCs was enhanced by LIPUS through the activation autophagy, and LIPUS improved the protective effect of MSCs on OA cartilage via autophagy regulation.

Effect of isotretinoin on induced tooth movement in rats. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021; 159:193-201. [PMID: 33388196 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2019.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2018] [Revised: 12/01/2019] [Accepted: 12/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was performed to evaluate the effect of isotretinoin on tooth displacement and tissues related to induced tooth movement (ITM) in rats. METHODS Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: vegetable oil (O; n = 40), 7.5 mg/kg isotretinoin (I; n = 40), vegetable oil + ITM (OM; n = 44), and 7.5 mg/kg isotretinoin and ITM (IM; n = 39). After the daily application of the solutions for 30 days, an orthodontic appliance was installed to mesially displace the maxillary first right molar (30 cN) of rats in the OM and IM groups. The animals were killed 2, 7, 14, or 21 days after placement of the devices. The animals in the O and I groups did not undergo ITM but were killed simultaneously. The animals were examined for tooth displacement, the neoformation of mature collagen, bone and root resorption, the presence of hyalinized areas, and trabecular bone modeling by microcomputed tomography. RESULTS There was no difference in tooth displacement, the number of osteoclasts, the presence of hyalinized areas, or trabecular bone among the O, I, OM, and IM groups across the periods tested (P >0.05). A lower percentage of mature collagen was found in the IM group than in the OM group on day 7 (P <0.05). A lower frequency of root resorption was found in the IM group than in the OM group on days 2 and 21 (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Isotretinoin at 7.5 mg/kg decreased root resorption in rats subjected to ITM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous studies, we reported the beneficial impact of two lipoxygenase-inhibitors, Baicalein and Zileuton, on osteoporotic bone in a postmenopausal rat model. Whereas subcutaneous Baicalein predominantly improved cortical bone, Zileuton enhanced vertebral and femoral trabecular bone. In this study, we aimed to reveal whether the oral administration of Baicalein caused similar effects on bone and whether a combined administration of Baicalein and Zileuton could act synergistically to ameliorate the formerly reported effects in the musculoskeletal system. METHODS We treated ovariectomized (OVX) female Sprague-Dawley rats either with Baicalein (10mg/kg BW), Zileuton (10mg/kg BW) or a combination of both (each 10mg/kg BW) for 13 weeks and compared with untreated OVX and NON-OVX groups (n=12-16 rats per group). Lumbar vertebral bodies and femora were analyzed. Tibiae were osteotomized, plate-stabilized (at week 8 after OVX) and likewise analyzed by biomechanical, histological, micro-computed tomographical and ashing tests. The skeletal muscle structure was analyzed. RESULTS Oral administration of Baicalein did not confirm the reported favorable cortical effects in neither vertebra nor femur. Zileuton showed a beneficial effect on trabecular vertebra, while the femur was negatively affected. Callus formation was enhanced by all treatments; however, its density and biomechanical properties were unaltered. Lipoxygenase inhibition did not show a beneficial effect on skeletal muscle. The combination therapy did not ameliorate OVX-induced osteoporosis but induced even more bone loss. CONCLUSIONS The preventive anti-osteoporotic treatments with two lipoxygenase inhibitors applied either alone or in combination showed no benefit for the musculoskeletal system in estrogen deficient rats.

Abstract
The study of postnatal skeletal repair is of immense clinical interest. Optimal repair of skeletal tissue is necessary in all varieties of elective and reparative orthopedic surgical treatments. However, the repair of fractures is unique in this context in that fractures are one of the most common traumas that humans experience and are the end-point manifestation of osteoporosis, the most common chronic disease of aging. In the first part of this introduction the basic biology of fracture healing is presented. The second part discusses the primary methodological approaches that are used to examine repair of skeletal hard tissue and specific considerations for choosing among and implementing these approaches.

Abstract
Bone continually adapts to changing external loading conditions via (re)modeling (modeling and remodeling) processes. While physical activity is known to beneficially enhance bone mass in healthy individuals, little is known in how physical stimuli affect osteolytic bone destruction in patients suffering from multiple myeloma bone disease. Multiple myeloma (MM) is caused by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, shifting the balance in bone remodeling towards massive resorption. We hypothesized that in vivo tibial mechanical loading has anabolic effects in mice with locally injected MOPC315.BM.Luc cells. Conventional microCT analysis revealed enhanced cortical bone mass and microstructure in loaded compared to nonloaded mice. State-of-the-art time-lapse microCT based image analysis demonstrated bone (re)modeling processes at the endosteal and periosteal surfaces as the underlying causes of increased bone mass. Loading prevented the progression and development of osteolytic destruction. Physical stimuli also diminished local MM cell growth and dissemination evidenced by quantification of MM cell-specific immunoglobulin A levels in the serum of mice and by bioluminescence analysis. These data indicate that mechanical loading not only rescues the bone phenotype, but also exerts cell-extrinsic anti-myeloma effects in the MOPC315.BM.Luc model. In conclusion, the use of physical stimuli should be further investigated as an anabolic treatment for osteolytic bone destruction in patients with MM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone biopsy is the gold standard test to diagnose renal osteodystrophy (ROD). There is a preference to perform bone biopsy during renal transplantation but tetracycline bone labelling is usually not possible. We aimed to test if histomorphometry static parameters can identify low and high bone turnover as assessed by dynamic measurement using double tetracycline labelling. METHODS 43 CKD stages 4-5D had trans-iliac bone biopsy using a 4 mm Jamshidi trephine and needle after tetracycline labelling. Quantitative histomorphometry was performed using the Bioquant Osteo histomorphometry system. Normal bone turnover was defined as bone formation rate/bone surface (BFR/BS) of 18-38 μm3/μm2/year. Static parameters of bone turnover included osteoblast surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS, %), osteoclast surface/bone surface (Oc.S/BS, %) and erosion surface/bone surface (ES/BS, %). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of these static parameters for low and high bone turnover (based on BFR/BS). RESULTS Median (IQR) for BFR/BS in this study was 32.12 (17.76-48.25) μm3/μm2/year. 26% of patients had low, 34% had normal and 40% had high bone turnover. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for Ob.S/BS, Oc.S/BS and ES/BS were non-significant indicating poor accuracy for identifying low bone turnover. The AUC for Ob.S/BS was 0.697 (95% CI 0.538 to 0.827) indicating fair accuracy for identifying high bone turnover. Oc.S/BS and ES/BS had non-significant AUCs for high bone turnover. CONCLUSIONS Static histomorphometry parameters for bone turnover are unable to replace dynamic parameter in diagnosing ROD. Tetracycline bone labelling is still required.

Abstract
Our laboratories have used genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) to assess genetic contributions to skeletal diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Studies on the genetic contributions to OA are often done by assessing how GEMMs respond to surgical methods that induce symptoms modeling OA. Here, we will describe protocols outlining the induction of experimental OA in mice as well as detailed descriptions of methods for analyzing skeletal phenotypes using micro-computerized tomography and skeletal histomorphometry.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is sophisticatedly regulated by two different cell types: bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Hochu-Ekki-To, a Japanese traditional herbal medicine, is commonly used for the treatment of chronic diseases or frailty after an illness; however, its effects on metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis are not well known. We herein report that daily oral Hochu-Ekki-To administration significantly inhibits osteoclast activation as well as the reduction in bone volume in ovariectomized mice. Our results suggest that supplementation with Hochu-Ekki-To might be beneficial for the prophylaxis and treatment of metabolic bone diseases associated with abnormal osteoclast activation.

Bone 2021; 142:115653. [PMID: 33059103 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Over the last decades, the use of high-resolution imaging systems to assess bone microstructural parameters has grown immensely. Yet, no standard defining the quantification of these parameters exists. It has been reported that different voxel size and/or segmentation techniques lead to different results. However, the effect of the evaluation software has not been investigated so far. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the bone microstructural parameters obtained with two commonly used commercial software packages, namely IPL (Scanco, Switzerland) and CTan (Bruker, Belgium). We hypothesized that even when starting from the same segmented scans, different software packages will report different results. Nineteen trapezia and nineteen distal radii were scanned at two resolutions (20 μm voxel size with microCT and HR-pQCT 60 μm). The scans were segmented using the scanners' default protocol. The segmented images were analyzed twice, once with IPL and once with CTan, to quantify bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N) and specific bone surface (BS/BV). Only small differences between IPL and CTan were found for BV/TV. For Tb.Th, Tb.Sp and BS/BV high correlations (R2 ≥ 0.99) were observed between the two software packages, but important relative offsets were observed. For microCT scans, the offsets were relative constant, e.g., around 15% for Tb.Th. However, for the HR-pQCT scans the mean relative offsets ranged over the different bone samples (e.g., for Tb.Th from 14.5% to 19.8%). For Tb.N, poor correlations (0.43 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.81) for all tested cases were observed. We conclude that trabecular bone microstructural parameters obtained with IPL and CTan cannot be directly compared except for BV/TV. For Tb.Th, Tb.Sp and BS/BV, correction factors can be determined, but these depend on both the image voxel size and specific anatomic location. The two software packages did not produce consistent data on Tb.N. The development of a universal standard seems desirable.

Abstract
Historically, rickets and osteomalacia have been synonymous with vitamin D deficiency dating back to the 17th century. The term osteomalacia, which literally means soft bone, was traditionally applied to characteristic radiologically or histologically documented skeletal disease and not just to clinical or biochemical abnormalities. Osteomalacia results from impaired mineralization of bone that can manifest in several types, which differ from one another by the relationships of osteoid (ie, unmineralized bone matrix) thickness both with osteoid surface and mineral apposition rate. Osteomalacia related to vitamin D deficiency evolves in three stages. The initial stage is characterized by normal serum levels of calcium and phosphate and elevated alkaline phosphatase, PTH, and 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]—the latter a consequence of increased PTH. In the second stage, serum calcium and often phosphate levels usually decline, and both serum PTH and alkaline phosphatase values increase further. However, serum 1,25(OH)2D returns to normal or low values depending on the concentration of its substrate, 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD; the best available index of vitamin D nutrition) and the degree of PTH elevation. In the final stage, hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia are invariably low with further exacerbation of secondary hyperparathyroidism. The exact,or even an approximate, prevalence of osteomalacia caused by vitamin D deficiency is difficult to estimate, most likely it is underrecognized or misdiagnosed as osteoporosis. Signs and symptoms include diffuse bone, muscle weakness, and characteristic fracture pattern, often referred to as pseudofractures, involving ribs, scapulae, pubic rami, proximal femurs, and codfish‐type vertebrae. The goal of therapy of vitamin D‐deficiency osteomalacia is to alleviate symptoms, promote fracture healing, restore bone strength, and improve quality of life while correcting biochemical abnormalities. There is a need for better understanding of the epidemiology of osteomalacia. Simplified tools validated by concurrent bone histology should be developed to help clinicians promptly diagnose osteomalacia. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a disease caused by organ accumulation of glycosaminoglycans due to iduronate 2-sulfatase deficiency. This study investigated the pathophysiology of the bone complications associated with mucopolysaccharidosis II and the effect of lentivirus-mediated gene therapy of hematopoietic stem cells on bone lesions of mucopolysaccharidosis type II mouse models in comparison with enzyme replacement therapy. Bone volume, density, strength, and trabecular number were significantly higher in the untreated mucopolysaccharidosis type II mice than in wild-type mice. Accumulation of glycosaminoglycans caused reduced bone metabolism. Specifically, persistent high serum iduronate 2-sulfatase levels and release of glycosaminoglycans from osteoblasts and osteoclasts in mucopolysaccharidosis type II mice that had undergone gene therapy reactivated bone lineage remodeling, subsequently reducing bone mineral density, strength, and trabecular number to a similar degree as that observed in wild-type mice. Bone formation, resorption parameters, and mineral density in the diaphysis edge did not appear to have been affected by the irradiation administered as a pre-treatment for gene therapy. Hence, the therapeutic effect of gene therapy on the bone complications of mucopolysaccharidosis type II mice possibly outweighed that of enzyme replacement therapy in many aspects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques are established for evaluation of cartilage composition and trabecular bone microstructure at the knee. It remains unclear whether quantitative MR parameters predict the midterm morphological outcome after matrix-associated chondrocyte implantation (MACI) with autologous bone grafting (ABG). PURPOSE To assess longitudinal changes and associations of the biochemical composition of cartilage repair tissue, the subchondral bone architecture, and morphological knee joint abnormalities on 3-T MR imaging after MACI with ABG at the knee. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Knees of 18 patients (28.7 ± 8.4 years [mean ± SD]; 5 women) were examined preoperatively and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after MACI and ABG using 3-T MR imaging. Cartilage composition was assessed using T2 relaxation time measurements. Subchondral bone microstructure was quantified using a 3-dimensional phase-cycled balanced steady-state free precision sequence. Trabecular bone parameters were calculated using a dual threshold algorithm (apparent bone fraction, apparent trabecular number, and apparent trabecular separation). Morphological abnormalities were assessed using the MOCART (magnetic resonace observation of cartilage repair tissue) score, the WORMS (Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score), and the CROAKS (Cartilage Repair Osteoarthritis Knee Score). Clinical symptoms were assessed using the Tegner activity and Lysholm knee scores. Statistical analyses were performed by using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS Total WORMS (P = .02) and MOCART (P = .001) scores significantly improved over 24 months after MACI. Clinical symptoms were significantly associated with the presence of bone marrow edema pattern abnormalities 24 months after surgery (P = .035). Overall there was a good to excellent radiological outcome found after 24 months (MOCART score, 88.8 ± 10.1). Cartilage repair T2 values significantly decreased between 12 and 24 months after MACI (P = .009). Lower global T2 values after 3 months were significantly associated with better MOCART scores after 24 months (P = .04). Moreover, trabecular bone parameters after 3 months were significantly associated with the total WORMS after 24 months (apparent bone fraction, P = .048; apparent trabecular number, P = .013; apparent trabecular separation, P = .013). CONCLUSION After MACI with ABG, early postoperative quantitative assessment of biochemical composition of cartilage and microstructure of subchondral bone may predict the outcome after 24 months. The perioperative global joint cartilage matrix quality is essential for proper proliferation of the repair tissue, reflected by MOCART scores. The subchondral bone quality of the ABG site is essential for proper maturation of the cartilage repair tissue, reflected by cartilage T2 values.

Abstract
The vascular wall stores mesenchymal progenitor cells which are able to induce bone regeneration, via direct and paracrine mechanisms. Although much is known regarding perivascular cell regulation of osteoblasts, their regulation of osteoclasts, and by extension utility in states of high bone resorption, is not known. Here, human perivascular stem cells (PSCs) were used as a means to prevent autograft resorption in a gonadectomy-induced osteoporotic spine fusion model. Furthermore, the paracrine regulation by PSCs of osteoclast formation was evaluated, using coculture, conditioned medium, and purified extracellular vesicles. Results showed that PSCs when mixed with autograft bone induce an increase in osteoblast:osteoclast ratio, promote bone matrix formation, and prevent bone graft resorption. The confluence of these factors resulted in high rates of fusion in an ovariectomized rat lumbar spine fusion model. Application of PSCs was superior across metrics to either the use of unpurified, culture-defined adipose-derived stromal cells or autograft bone alone. Under coculture conditions, PSCs negatively regulated osteoclast formation and did so via secreted, nonvesicular paracrine factors. Total RNA sequencing identified secreted factors overexpressed by PSCs which may explain their negative regulation of graft resorption. In summary, PSCs reduce osteoclast formation and prevent bone graft resorption in high turnover states such as gonadectomy-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed-tomography (HR-pQCT) has the potential to become a powerful clinical assessment and diagnostic tool. Given the recent improvements in image resolution, from 82 to 61 μm, this technology may be used to accurately quantify in vivo bone microarchitecture, a key biomarker of degenerative bone diseases. However, computational methods to assess bone microarchitecture were developed for micro computed tomography (micro-CT), a higher-resolution technology only available for ex vivo studies, and validation of these computational analysis techniques against the gold-standard micro-CT has been inconsistent and incomplete. Herein, we review methods for segmentation of bone compartments and microstructure, quantification of bone morphology, and estimation of mechanical strength using finite-element analysis, highlighting the need throughout for improved standardization across the field. Studies have relied on homogenous datasets for validation, which does not allow for robust comparisons between methods. Consequently, the adaptation and validation of novel segmentation approaches has been slow to non-existent, with most studies still using the manufacturer's segmentation for morphometric analysis despite the existence of better performing alternative approaches. The promising accuracy of HR-pQCT for capturing morphometric indices is overshadowed by considerable variability in outcomes between studies. For finite element analysis (FEA) methods, the use of disparate material models and FEA tools has led to a fragmented ability to assess mechanical bone strength with HR-pQCT. Further, the scarcity of studies comparing 62 μm HR-pQCT to the gold standard micro-CT leaves the validation of this imaging modality incomplete. This review revealed that without standardization, the capabilities of HR-pQCT cannot be adequately assessed. The need for a public, extendable, heterogeneous dataset of HR-pQCT and corresponding gold-standard micro-CT images, which would allow HR-pQCT users to benchmark existing and novel methods and select optimal methods depending on the scientific question and data at hand, is now evident. With more recent advancements in HR-pQCT, the community must learn from its past and provide properly validated technologies to ensure that HR-pQCT can truly provide value in patient diagnosis and care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aim of this study was to evaluate acetabular bone vitality during revision hip arthroplasty and to compare the bone quality between revision and primary acetabular arthroplasty. METHODS During primary and revision total hip arthroplasty surgeries, biopsies were taken from the acetabulum after reaming. The samples (osteochondral cylinders of approximately ⩽1 cm long and 3 mm thickness), after removing the mineral component, were cut longitudinally with a thickness section of 5 µm and colored with hematoxylin-eosin dichromic dye and then evaluated histologically by optical microscopy with 40× magnification. Preoperative radiographs were evaluated. RESULTS According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 patients formed the revision group patients (mean age: 67.9 years, average time before revision 8.8 years, SD ± 7.06) and 5 patients formed the control primary group (mean age: 61.4 years). The bone quality of the revision group was generally poorer than the primary group, while similar vitality and bone quality has been found between septic and aseptic group. Variables such as age, gender and BMI did not significantly contribute to define bone quality classes. CONCLUSIONS The study confirms the differences in quality and bone vitality between cases and controls and the necessity to find strategies to improve the osteointegrative processes in revision arthroplasties.

Abstract
Although physical exercise has unquestionable benefits on bone health, its effects on bone healing have been poorly investigated. This study evaluated the effects of preemptive moderate continuous running on the healing of non-critical sized bone defects in rats by µCT. We hypothesized that a preemptive running exercise would quicken bone healing. Twenty 5-week-old, male, Wistar rats were randomly allocated to one of the following groups (n = 10): sedentary control (SED) or continuous running (EX, 45 min/d, 5 d/week at moderate speed, for 8 consecutive weeks). A 2 mm diameter bone defect was then performed in the right tibia and femur. No exercise was performed during a 4 week-convalescence. Healing-tissue trabecular microarchitectural parameters were assessed once a week for 4 weeks using µCT and plasma bone turnover markers measured at the end of the study protocol (time point T12). At T12, bone volume fraction (BV/TV; BV: bone volume, TV: tissue volume) of the healing tissue in tibiae and femurs from EX rats was higher compared to that in SED rats (p = 0.001). BV/TV in EX rats was also higher in tibiae than in femurs (p < 0.01). The bone mineral density of the healing tissue in femurs from EX rats was higher compared to that in femurs from SED rats (p < 0.03). N-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I in EX rats was decreased compared to SED rats (p < 0.05), while no differences were observed for alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone. The study provides evidence that preemptive moderate continuous running improves the healing of non-critical sized bone defects in male Wistar rats.

Abstract
Mucolipidosis type III (MLIII) gamma is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in GNPTG encoding the γ-subunit of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase, the key enzyme ensuring proper intracellular location of multiple lysosomal enzymes. Patients with MLIII gamma typically present with osteoarthritis and joint stiffness, suggesting cartilage involvement. Using Gnptg knockout (Gnptgko ) mice as a model of the human disease, we showed that missorting of a number of lysosomal enzymes is associated with intracellular accumulation of chondroitin sulfate in Gnptgko chondrocytes and their impaired differentiation, as well as with altered microstructure of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). We also demonstrated distinct functional and structural properties of the Achilles tendons isolated from Gnptgko and Gnptab knock-in (Gnptabki ) mice, the latter displaying a more severe phenotype resembling mucolipidosis type II (MLII) in humans. Together with comparative analyses of joint mobility in MLII and MLIII patients, these findings provide a basis for better understanding of the molecular reasons leading to joint pathology in these patients. Our data suggest that lack of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity due to defects in the γ-subunit causes structural changes within the ECM of connective and mechanosensitive tissues, such as cartilage and tendon, and eventually results in functional joint abnormalities typically observed in MLIII gamma patients. This idea was supported by a deficit of the limb motor function in Gnptgko mice challenged on a rotarod under fatigue-associated conditions, suggesting that the impaired motor performance of Gnptgko mice was caused by fatigue and/or pain at the joint.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:476. [PMID: 33168086 PMCID: PMC7653780 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01999-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Dentigerous cyst (DC) is a bone destructive disease and remains a challenge for clinicians. Marsupialization enables the bone to regenerate with capsule maintaining, making it a preferred therapeutic means for DC adjacent to vital anatomical structures. Given that capsules of DC are derived from odontogenic epithelium remnants at the embryonic stage, we investigated whether there were mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) located in DC capsules and the role that they played in the bone regeneration after marsupialization. Methods Samples obtained before and after marsupialization were used for histological detection and cell culture. The stemness of cells isolated from fresh tissues was analyzed by morphology, surface marker, and multi-differentiation assays. Comparison of proliferation ability between MSCs isolated from DC capsules before (Bm-DCSCs) and after (Am-DCSCs) marsupialization was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), fibroblast colony-forming units (CFU-F), and 5′-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Their osteogenic capacity in vitro was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red staining (ARS), combined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis as well as cranial bone defect model in nude mice was performed to detect their bone regeneration and bone defect repairability. Results Bone tissue and strong ALP activity were detected in the capsule of DC after marsupialization. Two types of MSCs were isolated from fibrous capsules of DC both before (Bm-DCSCs) and after (Am-DCSCs) marsupialization. These fibroblast-like, colony-forming cells expressed MSC markers (CD44+, CD90+, CD31−, CD34−, CD45−), and they could differentiate into osteoblast-, adipocyte-, and chondrocyte-like cells under induction. Notably, Am-DCSCs performed better in cell proliferation and self-renewal. Moreover, Am-DCSCs showed a greater osteogenic capacity both in vitro and in vivo compared with Bm-DCSCs. Conclusions There are MSCs residing in capsules of DC, and the cell viability as well as the osteogenic capacity of them is largely enhanced after marsupialization. Our findings suggested that MSCs might play a crucial role in the healing process of DC after marsupialization, thus providing new insight into the treatment for DC by promoting the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs inside capsules.

Effects of Estrogen Receptor and Wnt Signaling Activation on Mechanically Induced Bone Formation in a Mouse Model of Postmenopausal Bone Loss. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218301.

Abstract
In the adult skeleton, bone remodeling is required to replace damaged bone and functionally adapt bone mass and structure according to the mechanical requirements. It is regulated by multiple endocrine and paracrine factors, including hormones and growth factors, which interact in a coordinated manner. Because the response of bone to mechanical signals is dependent on functional estrogen receptor (ER) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling and is impaired in postmenopausal osteoporosis by estrogen deficiency, it is of paramount importance to elucidate the underlying mechanisms as a basis for the development of new strategies in the treatment of osteoporosis. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the activation of the ligand-dependent ER and the Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathways on mechanically induced bone formation using ovariectomized mice as a model of postmenopausal bone loss. We demonstrated that both pathways interact in the regulation of bone mass adaption in response to mechanical loading and that the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling considerably increased mechanically induced bone formation, whereas the effects of estrogen treatment strictly depended on the estrogen status in the mice.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous, persistent, organic pollutants also considered endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Our study examined the effects of lactational exposure to nondioxin-like PCB-155 and/or dioxin-like PCB-169 on longitudinal femur growth at the distal epiphyseal growth plate (EGP) in young rats at three different ages [postnatal days (PNDs) 9, 22, and 42]. After delivery, lactating rats were divided into four groups (PCB-169, PCB-155, PCB-155 + 169, and control) and administered PCBs intraperitoneally. The femurs of offspring were used to estimate growth rate (µm/day), and histomorphometric analysis on the distal femur included the thickness of the EGP and zones of proliferation and hypertrophy with calcification. Stereometry was used to determine trabecular bone volume density. In the PCB-169 and PCB-155 + 169 groups, PCB-169 affected longitudinal bone growth in the early postnatal period by interfering with chondrocytes in the EGP zone of proliferation and, to a lesser extent, the zone of hypertrophy. Morphometric alterations in EGP structure diminished until puberty. A slow growth rate persisted in the PCB-169 group until PND 42, while in the PCB-155 group, a fast growth rate between PNDs 9 to 22 was significantly reduced between PNDs 22 to 42. Sterometric assessment showed decreased trabecular bone volume in the PCB-155 + 169 group compared with that in the control on PND 9 and increased in the PCB-169 group compared with that in the PCB-155 group on PND 42. To summarize, studied PCB congeners exerted congener- and age-dependent effects on femur growth rate and its histomorphometric characteristics.

Abstract
Both preclinical in vivo experiments and clinical trials are indispensable for analysis of tissue reactions in evaluating the compatibility of biomaterials or medical devices, i.e. the cell types interacting with the material, integration or degradation behavior, implant bed vascularization and immunological response. In particular, both the histological workup (including the processes such as embedding, cutting, histochemical and immunohistochemical staining methods), as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis are crucial steps enabling the final evaluation of biocompatibility. We present a short overview of the most important steps of the different workup and analytical methods used in preclinical and clinical biopsies for both novice and experienced researchers in the field of biomaterial science.

Abstract
Cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy (DC) has a primary complication when using the autologous bone: aseptic bone resorption (ABR). So far, risk factors such as age, number of fragments, and hydrocephalus have been identified but a thorough understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is still missing. The aim of this osteopathological investigation was to gain a better understanding of the underlying processes. Clinical data of patients who underwent surgical revision due to ABR was collected. Demographics, the time interval between craniectomy and cranioplasty, and endocrine serum parameters affecting bone metabolism were collected. Removed specimens underwent qualitative and quantitative histological examination. Two grafts without ABR were examined as controls. Compared to the controls, the typical layering of the cortical and cancellous bone was largely eliminated in the grafts. Histological investigations revealed the coexistence of osteolytic and osteoblastic activity within the necrosis. Bone appositions were distributed over the entire graft area. Remaining marrow spaces were predominantly fibrotic or necrotic. In areas with marrow cavity fibrosis, hardly any new bone tissue was found in the adjacent bone, while there were increased signs of osteoclastic resorption. Insufficient reintegration of the flap may be due to residual fatty bone marrow contained in the bone flap which seems to act as a barrier for osteogenesis. This may obstruct the reorganization of the bone structure, inducing aseptic bone necrosis. Following a path already taken in orthopedic surgery, thorough lavage of the implant to remove the bone marrow may be a possibility, but will need further investigation.

Abstract
Neonatal calvarial bone has been widely used for investigating the biological behaviour of intramembranous bones. This work evaluated the bone formation of neonatal calvarial bone by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometry. Moreover, the viability of neonatal calvarial bone and the effect of micro-CT radiation exposure on neonatal calvarial bone viability were investigated. The calvarial bones of 4-day-old CD-1 mice were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) or osteogenic medium (OM) for 23 days. Micro-CT scanning and histological analysis were performed on days 2, 9, 16 and 23. An "OM-control" group was scanned only on days 2 and 23 to evaluate the effect of a single micro-CT radiation dose on calvarial bones. Histomorphometric measurements revealed that the number of osteoblasts per unit bone surface area (N. Ob/BS, /mm2) (days 9, 16 and 23) and the number of osteoclasts per unit bone surface area (N. Oc/BS, /mm2) (days 9 and 16) were higher and lower, respectively, in the OM group than in the DMEM group. Moreover, the calvarial bone survived for at least 16 days in vitro, as indicated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive staining. Micro-CT assessment revealed that the bone surface (BS), bone volume (BV), bone surface density (BS/TV(Tissue volume)) and percent bone volume (BV/TV) were greater in the OM group than in the DMEM group except at baseline on day 2. All bone parameters of calvariae cultured in OM and OM-control conditions were not significantly different on days 2 and 23. Thus, the radiation dose from micro-CT in our study design had no perceptible effect on the formation of mouse calvarial bone in vitro.

Effect of Teriparatide on Bone Remodeling and Density in Premenopausal Idiopathic Osteoporosis: A Phase II Trial. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2020; 105:dgaa489. [PMID: 32876328 PMCID: PMC8921657 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) have abnormal skeletal microarchitecture and variable tissue-level bone formation rate (BFR). OBJECTIVES Compare 6 months (M) of teriparatide versus placebo on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bone turnover markers (BTMs) and BFR at 3M by quadruple-labeled transiliac biopsy. Characterize 12M and 24M effects of teriparatide on aBMD and whether BTMs and BFR predict response. DESIGN 6M phase 2 randomized controlled trial (RCT) followed by open extension. SETTING Tertiary referral centers. PATIENTS Premenopausal women with IOP. INTERVENTIONS A total of 41 women were randomized to either teriparatide 20 mcg (n = 28) or placebo (n = 13). After 6M, those on placebo switched to teriparatide for 24M; those on teriparatide continued for 18M. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES 6M RCT: Between-group differences in lumbar spine (LS) aBMD (percent change from baseline), 3M BFR, and hypercalcemia. Open-label extension: Within-group change in LS aBMD over 12M and 24M. Secondary outcomes included aBMD change at other sites and relationship between BTMs, BFR, and changes in aBMD. FINDINGS Over 6M, LS aBMD increased by 5.5% (95% CI: 3.83, 7.19) in teriparatide and 1.5% (95% CI: -0.73, 3.83) in placebo (P = 0.007). There were increases in 3M BTMs, and BFR (cancellous and endocortical BFR: between-groups P = 0.004). Over 24M, teriparatide increased LS aBMD by 13.2% (95% CI: 10.3, 16.2), total hip by 5.2% (95% CI: 3.7, 6.7) and femoral neck by 5.0% (95% CI: 3.2, 6.7; all P ≤ 0.001). Serum N-terminal propeptides of procollagen type 1 (P1NP) and 3M endocortical BFR were moderately associated with LS aBMD response. Teriparatide was well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Teriparatide increased BFR and formation markers and was associated with marked aBMD improvements in most premenopausal women (82%) with IOP.

Abstract
The entire route from anodic oxidation and surface characterization, including in vitro experiments and finally in vivo osseointegration assays were performed with the aim to evaluate nanotubular and crystalline annealed titanium oxides as a suitable surface for grade 2 titanium permanent implants. Polished titanium (T0) was compared with anodized surfaces obtained in acidic media with fluoride, leading to an ordered nanotubular structure of titanium oxide on the metal surface, characterized by tube diameter of 89 ± 24 nm (Tnts). Samples were thermally treated in air (TntsTT) to increase the anatase crystalline phase on nanotubes, with minor alteration of the structure. Corrosion tests were performed to evaluate the electrochemical response after 1, 14, and 28 days of immersion in simulated body fluid. Based on the in vitro results, heat-treated titanium nanotubes (TntsTT) were selected as a promissory candidate to continue with the osseointegration in vivo assays. The in vivo results showed no major improvement in the osseointegration process when compared with untreated Ti after 30 days of implantation and there also was a lower increase in the development of new osseous tissue.

Cell Prolif 2020; 53:e12912. [PMID: 32964544 PMCID: PMC7574874 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.12912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mechanical force plays an important role in modulating stem cell fate and behaviours. However, how periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) perceive mechanical stimulus and transfer it into biological signals, and thereby promote alveolar bone remodelling, is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS An animal model of force-induced tooth movement and a compressive force in vitro was used. After force application, tooth movement distance, mesenchymal stem cell and osteoclast number, and proinflammatory cytokine expression were detected in periodontal tissues. Then, rat primary PDLSCs with or without force loading were isolated, and their stem cell characteristics including clonogenicity, proliferation, multipotent differentiation and immunoregulatory properties were evaluated. Under compressive force in vitro, the effects of the ERK signalling pathway on PDLSC characteristics were evaluated by Western blotting. RESULTS Mechanical force in vivo induced PDLSC proliferation, which was accompanied with inflammatory cytokine accumulation, osteoclast differentiation and TRPV4 activation; the force-stimulated PDLSCs showed greater clonogenicity and proliferation, reduced differentiation ability, improved induction of macrophage migration, osteoclast differentiation and proinflammatory factor expression. The biological changes induced by mechanical force could be partially suppressed by TRPV4 inhibition. Mechanistically, force-induced activation of TRPV4 in PDLSCs regulated osteoclast differentiation by affecting the RANKL/OPG system via ERK signalling. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, we show here that TRPV4 activation in PDLSCs under mechanical force contributes to changing their stem cell characteristics and modulates bone remodelling during tooth movement.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are the sole bone-resorbing cells that play an essential role in homeostatic bone remodeling and pathogenic bone destruction such as inflammatory arthritis. Pharmacologically targeting osteoclasts has been a promising approach to alleviating bone disease, but there remains room for improvement in mitigating drug side effects and enhancing cell specificity. Recently, we demonstrated the crucial role of MYC and its downstream effectors in driving osteoclast differentiation. Despite these advances, upstream regulators of MYC have not been well defined. In this study, we identify nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor known to regulate the expression of phase II antioxidant enzymes, as a novel upstream regulator of MYC. NRF2 negatively regulates receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis through the ERK and p38 signaling-mediated suppression of MYC transcription. Furthermore, the ablation of MYC in osteoclasts reverses the enhanced osteoclast differentiation and activity in NRF2 deficiency in vivo and in vitro in addition to protecting NRF2-deficient mice from pathological bone loss in a murine model of inflammatory arthritis. Our findings indicate that this novel NRF2-MYC axis could be instrumental for the fine-tuning of osteoclast formation and provides additional ways in which osteoclasts could be therapeutically targeted to prevent pathological bone erosion.

Abstract
Background Calvarial bone grafts are successful in the reconstruction of the severely atrophied maxilla as a pre‐implant procedure. However, not much is known about graft incorporation at the microscopic level. Purpose This study aimed to assess calvarial bone conversion 4 months after being grafted in the edentulous maxillary bone. Materials and methods In 13 patients (age:65.3 ± 8.7 years) the atrophic maxilla was reconstructed with autologous calvarial bone. Biopsies were taken from fresh calvarial bone grafts and from the reconstructed maxillae after 4 months of healing. Micro‐CT, histomorphometric, and histological analysis were performed. From three patients biopsies were obtained after 9, 11, or 45 months. Results The micro‐CT analysis revealed that in the maxilla the calvarial bone was well preserved even after 45 months. Histology showed progressive incorporation of grafted bone within a maxillary bone. Osteoid and osteocytes were present in all biopsies indicating new bone formation and vital bone. Histomorphometrically, the percentage of grafted bone volume over total volume decreased from 79.8% (IQR78.7‐83.3) in fresh calvarial grafts to 59.3% (IQR44.8‐64.6) in healed grafts. The biopsies were taken after 9, 11, and 45 months showed similar values. Conclusions Calvarial bone grafts result in stable and viable bone, good incorporation into native maxillary bone, and a minor decrease in bone volume after healing. Consequently, they provide a solid base for implant placement in severely atrophied edentulous maxillary bone.

Abstract
Mice with disruption of Pkd1 in osteoblasts demonstrate reduced bone mineral density, trabecular bone volume and cortical thickness. To date, the bone phenotype in adult patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) with stage I and II chronic kidney disease has not been investigated. To examine this, we characterized biochemical markers of mineral metabolism, examined bone turnover and biology, and estimated risk of fracture in patients with ADPKD. Markers of mineral metabolism were measured in 944 patients with ADPKD and other causes of kidney disease. Histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry were compared on bone biopsies from 20 patients with ADPKD with a mean eGFR of 97 ml/min/1.73m2 and 17 healthy individuals. Furthermore, adults with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) initiating hemodialysis between 2002-2013 and estimated the risk of bone fracture associated with ADPKD as compared to other etiologies of kidney disease were examined. Intact fibroblast growth factor 23 was higher and total alkaline phosphatase lower in patients with compared to patients without ADPKD with chronic kidney disease. Compared to healthy individuals, patients with ADPKD demonstrated significantly lower osteoid volume/bone volume (0.61 vs. 1.21%) and bone formation rate/bone surface (0.012 vs. 0.026 μm3/μm2/day). ESKD due to ADPKD was not associated with a higher risk of fracture as compared to ESKD due to diabetes (age adjusted incidence rate ratio: 0.53 (95% confidence interval 0.31, 0.74) or compared to other etiologies of kidney disease. Thus, individuals with ADPKD have lower alkaline phosphatase, higher circulating intact fibroblast growth factor 23 and decreased bone formation rate. However, ADPKD is not associated with higher rates of bone fracture in ESKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Existing osteoporosis models in sheep exhibit some disadvantages, e.g., challenging surgical procedures, serious ethical concerns, failure of reliable induction of substantial bone loss, or lack of comparability to the human condition. This study aimed to compare bone morphological and mechanical properties of old and young sheep, and to evaluate the suitability of the old sheep as a model for senile osteopenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lumbar vertebral body L3 of female merino sheep with two age ranges, i.e., old animals (6-10 years; n = 41) and young animals (2-4 years; n = 40), was analyzed concerning its morphological and mechanical properties by bone densitometry, quantitative histomorphometry, and biomechanical testing of the corticalis and/or central spongious region. RESULTS In comparison with young sheep, old animals showed only marginally diminished bone mineral density of the vertebral bodies, but significantly decreased structural (bone volume, - 15.1%; ventral cortical thickness, - 11.8%; lateral cortical thickness, - 12.2%) and bone formation parameters (osteoid volume, osteoid surface, osteoid thickness, osteoblast surface, all - 100.0%), as well as significantly increased bone erosion (eroded surface, osteoclast surface). This resulted in numerically decreased biomechanical properties (compressive strength; - 6.4%). CONCLUSION Old sheep may represent a suitable model of senile osteopenia with markedly diminished bone structure and formation, and substantially augmented bone erosion. The underlying physiological aging concept reduces challenging surgical procedures and ethical concerns and, due to complex alteration of different facets of bone turnover, may be well representative of the human condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Histomorphometric analysis of a transiliac bone biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD). This procedure is costly, invasive and usually performed with a trephine with an internal diameter of 7.5 mm. Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of ROD diagnosis on halved histological bone sections to determine if they are comparable to the standard 7.5 mm samples. DESIGN We included 68 bone biopsies performed in CKD patients for diagnostic purposes with a 7.5 mm diameter trephine. Quantitative histomorphometric analysis of the whole bone samples was performed including assessment of bone mineralization, turnover and volume. Each histological section (representing the whole 7.5 mm diameter biopsy) was then divided lengthwise in two hemisections (representing the 3.5 mm diameter biopsy). Histomorphometric analysis was repeated this time on the two hemibiopsies for each sample, blinded from initial results. Diagnoses were classified as osteitis fibrosa, adynamic bone disease, mixed uremic bone disease, osteomalacia or other. Correlations between the whole sample and the hemibiopsies for each parameter were studied. Concordance between the various bone parameters and final ROD diagnosis obtained from the whole section versus the two hemi sections was evaluated. RESULTS Highly significant correlations were found between parameters measured on the whole section and the corresponding hemisections, with r coefficient of 0.98 for osteoid surface and thickness and bone formation rate, 0.97 for osteoclast surface, and 0.96 for bone volume (p < 0.001). Final diagnosis was in full accordance between the whole biopsy and the two corresponding hemi-biopsies in 91% of cases. CONCLUSIONS Accurate diagnosis of ROD type was obtained by evaluation of bone surface areas of 3 mm diameter. These data suggest that small invasive bone biopsies might provide accurate ROD diagnostics while decreasing both invasiveness and cost of the procedure.

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

Abstract
The healing of large bone defects has been investigated for decades due to its complexity and clinical relevance. Ultrasound (US) methods have shown promise in monitoring bone healing, but no quantitative method to assess regenerated bone morphology in US images has been presented yet. In this study, we investigate new US morphometric parameters to quantify bone regeneration in vivo. A segmental tibial defect was surgically created and stabilized in a sheep animal model. US and computed tomography (CT) imaging data were collected two months post-surgery. New bone was assessed, reconstructed and quantified from the US and CT data using 3 morphometric parameters: the new-bone bulk (NBB), new-bone surface (NBS) and new-bone contact (NBC). The distance (mm) between surface reconstructions from repeated US was \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
Patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have an increased risk of fracture. Little is known about the microarchitecture of trabecular bone in T1DM, which may account for some of the increased risk. We report here a secondary analysis comparing Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) derived from DXA to 2-D histomorphometric and 3-D micro-computerized tomography (CT) variables obtained from iliac biopsies in 83 subjects (29 T1DM and 54 controls). The transilial bone biopsy specimens were fixed, embedded and scanned using a desktop micro-CT at 16 μm resolution. They were then sectioned and quantitative histomorphometry was performed. TBS of the anterior/posterior (AP) spine was obtained by re-analysis of AP lumbar spine DXA images. Overall, there were no differences in TBS, histomorphometry or micro-CT measurements between T1DM and controls. There was a significant association between TBS and 2-D BV/TV using multivariable linear regression after adjusting for group, age and gender. For every 1 unit increase in 2-D BV/TV, TBS increases by 0.0036 units after adjusting for group, gender and age. In conclusion, T1DM does not result in abnormal TBS, histomorphometric or micro-CT variables in young T1DM patients in the absence of diabetic complications. TBS is a good surrogate measure for trabecular microarchitecture.

Distinct Modes of Balancing Glomerular Cell Proteostasis in Mucolipidosis Type II and III Prevent Proteinuria. J Am Soc Nephrol 2020; 31:1796-1814.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms balancing proteostasis in glomerular cells are unknown. Mucolipidosis (ML) II and III are rare lysosomal storage disorders associated with mutations of the Golgi-resident GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase, which generates mannose 6-phosphate residues on lysosomal enzymes. Without this modification, lysosomal enzymes are missorted to the extracellular space, which results in lysosomal dysfunction of many cell types. Patients with MLII present with severe skeletal abnormalities, multisystemic symptoms, and early death; the clinical course in MLIII is less progressive. Despite dysfunction of a major degradative pathway, renal and glomerular involvement is rarely reported, suggesting organ-specific compensatory mechanisms. METHODS MLII mice were generated and compared with an established MLIII model to investigate the balance of protein synthesis and degradation, which reflects glomerular integrity. Proteinuria was assessed in patients. High-resolution confocal microscopy and functional assays identified proteins to deduce compensatory modes of balancing proteostasis. RESULTS Patients with MLII but not MLIII exhibited microalbuminuria. MLII mice showed lysosomal enzyme missorting and several skeletal alterations, indicating that they are a useful model. In glomeruli, both MLII and MLIII mice exhibited reduced levels of lysosomal enzymes and enlarged lysosomes with abnormal storage material. Nevertheless, neither model had detectable morphologic or functional glomerular alterations. The models rebalance proteostasis in two ways: MLII mice downregulate protein translation and increase the integrated stress response, whereas MLIII mice upregulate the proteasome system in their glomeruli. Both MLII and MLIII downregulate the protein complex mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) signaling, which decreases protein synthesis. CONCLUSIONS Severe lysosomal dysfunction leads to microalbuminuria in some patients with mucolipidosis. Mouse models indicate distinct compensatory pathways that balance proteostasis in MLII and MLIII.

Biomarkers of Bone Turnover Identify Subsets of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients at Higher Risk for Fracture. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2020; 105:5849341.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to identify biomarkers that indicate low turnover on bone histomorphometry in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and subsequently determined whether this panel identified differential risk for fractures in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS Among CKD patients who underwent iliac crest bone biopsies and histomorphometry, we evaluated candidate biomarkers to differentiate low turnover from other bone disease. We applied this biomarker panel to 641 participants in the Health Aging and Body Composition Study (Health ABC) study with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 who were followed for fracture. Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the association of bone mineral density (BMD) with fracture risk and determined whether biomarker-defined low bone turnover modified fracture risk at any level of BMD. RESULTS In 39 CKD patients age 64 ± 13 years, 85% female, with mean eGFR 37 ± 14 mL/min/1.73 m2 who underwent bone biopsy, lower fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, higher ɑ-Klotho, and lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) indicated low bone turnover in accordance with bone histomorphometry parameters (individual area under the curve = 0.62, 0.73, and 0.55 respectively; sensitivity = 22%, specificity = 100%). In Health ABC, 641 participants with CKD were age 75 ± 3 years , 49% female, with mean eGFR 48 ± 10 mL/min/1.73 m2. For every SD lower hip BMD at baseline, there was an 8-fold higher fracture risk in individuals with biomarker-defined low turnover (hazard ratio 8.10 [95% CI, 3.40-19.30]) vs a 2-fold higher risk in the remaining individuals (hazard ratio 2.28 [95% CI, 1.69-3.08]) (Pinteraction = .082). CONCLUSIONS In CKD patients who underwent bone biopsy, lower FGF-23, higher ɑ-Klotho, and lower PTH together had high specificity for identifying low bone turnover. When applied to older individuals with CKD, BMD was more strongly associated with fracture risk in those with biomarker-defined low turnover.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by increased susceptibility to adverse health outcomes. One major determinant thereof is the gradual weakening of the musculoskeletal system and the associated osteosarcopenia. To improve our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and, more importantly, to test potential interventions aimed at counteracting frailty, suitable animal models are needed. METHODS To evaluate the relevance of prematurely aged PolgA(D257A/D257A) mice as a model for frailty and osteosarcopenia, we quantified the clinical mouse frailty index in PolgA(D257A/D257A) and wild-type littermates (PolgA(+/+) , WT) with age and concertedly assessed the quantity and quality of bone and muscle tissue. Lastly, the anabolic responsiveness of skeletal muscle, muscle progenitors, and bone was assessed. RESULTS PolgA(D257A/D257A) accumulated health deficits at a higher rate compared with WT, resulting in a higher frailty index at 40 and 46 weeks of age (+166%, +278%, P < 0.0001), respectively, with no differences between genotypes at 34 weeks. Concomitantly, PolgA(D257A/D257A) displayed progressive musculoskeletal deterioration such as reduced bone and muscle mass as well as impaired functionality thereof. In addition to lower muscle weights (-14%, P < 0.05, -23%, P < 0.0001) and fibre area (-20%, P < 0.05, -22%, P < 0.0001) at 40 and 46 weeks, respectively, PolgA(D257A/D257A) showed impairments in grip strength and concentric muscle forces (P < 0.05). PolgA(D257A/D257A) mutation altered the acute response to various anabolic stimuli in skeletal muscle and muscle progenitors. While PolgA(D257A/D257A) muscles were hypersensitive to eccentric contractions as well as leucine administration, shown by larger downstream signalling response of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1, myogenic progenitors cultured in vitro showed severe anabolic resistance to leucine and robust impairments in cell proliferation. Longitudinal micro-computed tomography analysis of the sixth caudal vertebrae showed that PolgA(D257A/D257A) had lower bone morphometric parameters (e.g. bone volume fraction, trabecular, and cortical thickness, P < 0.05) as well as reduced remodelling activities (e.g. bone formation and resorption rate, P < 0.05) compared with WT. When subjected to 4 weeks of cyclic loading, young but not aged PolgA(D257A/D257A) caudal vertebrae showed load-induced bone adaptation, suggesting reduced mechanosensitivity with age. CONCLUSIONS PolgA(D257A/D257A) mutation leads to hallmarks of age-related frailty and osteosarcopenia and provides a powerful model to better understand the relationship between frailty and the aging musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) has recently been shown to be involved in bone development and has been implicated in bone diseases, such as Job’s Syndrome. Bone growth and changes have been known for many years to differ between sexes with male bones tending to have higher bone mass than female bones and older females tending to lose bone mass at faster rates than older males. Previous studies using conditional knock mice with Stat3 specifically deleted from the osteoblasts showed both sexes exhibited decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and strength. Using the Cre-Lox system with Cathepsin K promotor driving Cre to target the deletion of the Stat3 gene in mature osteoclasts (STAT3-cKO mice), we observed that 8-week old STAT3-cKO female femurs exhibited significantly lower BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) compared to littermate control (CN) females. There were no differences in BMD and BMC observed between male knock-out and male CN femurs. However, micro-computed tomography (μCT) analysis showed that both male and female STAT3-cKO mice had significant decreases in bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV). Bone histomorphometry analysis of the distal femur, further revealed a decrease in bone formation rate and mineralizing surface/bone surface (MS/BS) with a significant decrease in osteoclast surface in female, but not male, STAT3-cKO mice. Profiling gene expression in an osteoclastic cell line with a knockdown of STAT3 showed an upregulation of a number of genes that are directly regulated by estrogen receptors. These data collectively suggest that regulation of STAT3 differs in male and female osteoclasts and that inactivation of STAT3 in osteoclasts affects bone turnover more in females than males, demonstrating the complicated nature of STAT3 signaling pathways in osteoclastogenesis. Drugs targeting the STAT3 pathway may be used for treatment of diseases such as Job’s Syndrome and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Orthodontic force-induced osteogenic differentiation and bone formation at tension side play a pivotal role in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a clinically proven growth factor during bone regeneration process with unclear mechanisms. Fibroblasts in periodontal ligament (PDL) are considered to be mechanosensitive under orthodontic force. Thus, we established OTM model to investigate the correlation between PDGF-BB and fibroblasts during bone regeneration at tension side. We confirmed that tensile force stimulated PDL cells to induce osteogenic differentiation via Runx-2, OCN up-regulation, and to accelerate new bone deposition along the periodontium and the alveolar bone interface. Interestingly, PDGF-BB level was remarkably enhanced at tension side during OTM in parallel with up-regulated PDGFRβ+/α-SMA+ fibroblasts in PDL by immunohistochemistry. Moreover, orthodontic force-treated primary fibroblasts from PDL were isolated and, cultured in vitro, which showed similar morphology and phenotype with control fibroblasts without OTM treatment. PDGFRβ expression was confirmed to be increased in orthodontic force-treated fibroblasts by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Bioinformatics analysis identified that PDGF-BB/PDGFRβ signals were relevant to the activation of JAK/STAT3 signals. The protein expression of JAK2 and STAT3 was elevated in PDL of tension side. Importantly, in vivo, the treatment of the inhibitors (imatinib and AG490) for PDGFRβ and JAK-STAT signals were capable of attenuating the tooth movement. The osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration in tension side were down-regulated upon the treatment of inhibitors during OTM. Meanwhile, the expressions of PDGFRβ, JAK2 and STAT3 were inhibited by imatinib and AG490. Thus, we concluded that tensile force-induced PDGF-BB activated JAK2/STAT3 signals in PDGFRβ+ fibroblasts in bone formation during OTM.

Integrated 3D Information for Custom-Made Bone Grafts: Focus on Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Bone Substitute Biomaterials. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17144931. [PMID: 32650587 PMCID: PMC7399868 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17144931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Purpose: Several studies showed that the sintering temperature of 1250 °C could affect the formation of α-Ca3(PO4)2, which is responsible for the reduction of the hardness value of biphasic calcium phosphate biocomposites, but they did not evaluate the inference of the sintering time at peak temperature on transition of β-Ca3(PO4)2 to α-Ca3(PO4)2. This analysis explored, in an innovative way, inferences and correlations between volumetric microstructure, mechanical properties, sintering temperature, and time at peak temperature in order to find the best sintering conditions for biphasic calcium phosphate composites grafted in severe alveolar bone defects. Methods: Sintered biphasic calcium phosphates (30%-hydroxyapatite/70%-tricalcium phosphate) were tested by microCT imaging for the 3D morphometric analysis, by compressive loading to find their mechanical parameters, and by X-ray diffraction to quantify the phases via Rietveld refinement for different sintering temperatures and times at the peak temperature. Data were analysed in terms of statistical inference using Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Results: All the studied scaffolds closely mimicked the alveolar organization of the jawbone, independently on the sintering temperatures and times; however, mechanical testing revealed that the group with peak temperature, which lasted for 2 hours at 1250 °C, showed the highest strength both at the ultimate point and at fracture point. Conclusion: The good mechanical performances of the group with peak temperature, which lasted for 2 hours at 1250 °C, is most likely due to the absence of the α-Ca3(PO4)2 phase, as revealed by X-ray diffraction. However, we detected its presence after sintering at the same peak temperature for longer times, showing the time-dependence, combined with the temperature-dependence, of the β-Ca3(PO4)2 to α-Ca3(PO4)2 transition.
