Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158468. [PMID: 35955603 PMCID: PMC9368769 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23158468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The drugs used for treating bone diseases (BDs), at present, elicit hazardous side effects that include certain types of cancers and strokes, hence the ongoing quest for the discovery of alternatives with little or no side effects. Natural products (NPs), mainly of plant origin, have shown compelling promise in the treatments of BDs, with little or no side effects. However, the paucity in knowledge of the mechanisms behind their activities on bone remodeling has remained a hindrance to NPs’ adoption. This review discusses the pathological development of some BDs, the NP-targeted components, and the actions exerted on bone remodeling signaling pathways (e.g., Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κ B-ligand (RANKL)/monocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)/osteoprotegerin (OPG), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)s/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap-1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2)-Wnt/β-catenin, PhosphatidylInositol 3-Kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta (GSK3β), and other signaling pathways). Although majority of the studies on the osteoprotective properties of NPs against BDs were conducted ex vivo and mostly on animals, the use of NPs for treating human BDs and the prospects for future development remain promising.

Abstract
Traditional bone replacement materials have been developed with the goal of directing the osteogenesis of osteoblastic cell lines toward differentiation and therefore achieving biomaterial-mediated osteogenesis, but the osteogenic effect has been disappointing. With advances in bone biology, it has been revealed that the local immune microenvironment has an important role in regulating the bone formation process. According to the bone immunology hypothesis, the immune system and the skeletal system are inextricably linked, with many cytokines and regulatory factors in common, and immune cells play an essential role in bone-related physiopathological processes. This review combines advances in bone immunology with biomaterial immunomodulatory properties to provide an overview of biomaterials-mediated immune responses to regulate bone regeneration, as well as methods to assess the bone immunomodulatory properties of bone biomaterials and how these strategies can be used for future bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Background Osteoblasts-Osteoclasts has been a major area in bone disease research for a long time. However, there are few systematic studies in this field using bibliometric analysis. We aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis and visualization study to determine hotspots and trends of osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases, identify collaboration and influence among authors, countries, institutions, and journals, and assess the knowledge base to develop basic and clinical research in the future. Methods We collected articles and reviews for osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases from the Web of Science Core Collection. In addition, we utilized scientometrics software (CiteSpace5.8 and VOSviewer1.6.18) for visual analysis of countries/regions, institutions, authors, references, and keywords in the field. Results In total, 16,832 authors from 579 institutions in 73 countries/regions have published 3,490 papers in 928 academic journals. The literature in this field is rapidly increasing, with Bone publishing the most articles, whereas Journal of Bone and Mineral Research had the most co-cited journals. These two journals mainly focused on molecular biology and the clinical medicine domain. The countries with the highest number of publications were the US and China, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was the most active institution. Regarding authors, Stavros C. Manolagas published the most articles, and Hiroshi Takayanagi had the most co-cited papers. Research in this field mainly includes molecular expression and regulatory mechanisms, differentiation, osteoprotection, inflammation, and tumors. The latest research hotspots are oxidative stress, mutation, osteocyte formation and absorption, bone metabolism, tumor therapy, and in-depth mechanisms. Conclusion We identified the research hotspots and development process of osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone disease using bibliometric and visual methods. Osteoblasts-osteoclasts have attracted increasing attention in bone disease. This study will provide a valuable reference for researchers concerned with osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases.

Abstract
An imbalance in bone homeostasis results in bone loss and poor healing in bone diseases and trauma. Osteoimmune interactions, as a key contributor to bone homeostasis, depend on the crosstalk between mesenchymal stem cell-osteoblast (MSC-OB) and monocyte-macrophage (MC-Mφ) lineages. Currently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered to be involved in cell-to-cell communication and represent a novel avenue to enhance our understanding of bone homeostasis and to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic options. In this comprehensive review, we aim to present recent advances in the study of the effect of MC-Mφ-derived EVs on osteogenesis and the regulatory effects of MSC-OB-derived EVs on the differentiation, recruitment and efferocytosis of Mφ. Furthermore, we discuss the role of EVs as crucial mediators of the communication between these cell lineages involved in the development of common bone diseases, with a focus on osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone fracture, and periodontal disease. Together, this review focuses on the apparent discrepancies in current research findings and future directions for translating fundamental insights into clinically relevant EV-based therapies for improving bone health.

MiR-1224-5p modulates osteogenesis by coordinating osteoblast/osteoclast differentiation via the Rap1 signaling target ADCY2. EXPERIMENTAL & MOLECULAR MEDICINE 2022; 54:961-972. [PMID: 35831436 PMCID: PMC9355958 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-022-00799-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) broadly regulate normal biological functions of bone and the progression of fracture healing and osteoporosis. Recently, it has been reported that miR-1224-5p in fracture plasma is a potential therapy for osteogenesis. To investigate the roles of miR-1224-5p and the Rap1 signaling pathway in fracture healing and osteoporosis development and progression, we used BMMs, BMSCs, and skull osteoblast precursor cells for in vitro osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis studies. Osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis were detected by ALP, ARS, and TRAP staining and bone slice resorption pit assays. The miR-1224-5p target gene was assessed by siRNA-mediated target gene knockdown and luciferase reporter assays. To explore the Rap1 pathway, we performed high-throughput sequencing, western blotting, RT-PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and immunohistochemical staining. In vivo, bone healing was judged by the cortical femoral defect, cranial bone defect and femoral fracture models. Progression of osteoporosis was evaluated by an ovariectomy model and an aged osteoporosis model. We discovered that the expression of miR-1224-5p was positively correlated with fracture healing progression. Moreover, in vitro, overexpression of miR-1224-5p slowed Rankl-induced osteoclast differentiation and promoted osteoblast differentiation via the Rap1-signaling pathway by targeting ADCY2. In addition, in vivo overexpression of miR-1224-5p significantly promoted fracture healing and ameliorated the progression of osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency or aging. Furthermore, knockdown of miRNA-1224-5p inhibited bone regeneration in mice and accelerated the progression of osteoporosis in elderly mice. Taken together, these results identify miR-1224-5p as a key bone osteogenic regulator, which may be a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis and fracture nonunion. A microRNA called miR-1224-5p plays a key role in regulating the balance between bone formation and resorption, and may help in developing therapies for osteoporosis and hard-to-heal fractures. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Levels of miR-1224-5p were known to be low in patients with osteoporosis, caused by imbalanced bone resorption and formation, and high in patients with fractures. Guohui Liu and Bobin Mi at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, and coworkers hypothesized that miR-1224-5p might affect the bone resorption/formation balance. They found that miR-1224-5p levels correlated with fracture healing progress. Boosting levels in mice made bones stronger and improved fracture healing, whereas suppressing levels impaired fracture healing and accelerated osteoporosis. These results show that miR-1224-5p represents a potential target for treatment for osteoporosis and for bone-healing deficits.

Robust coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis by VEGF-decorated matrices for bone regeneration. Acta Biomater 2022; 149:111-125.

Abstract
Rapid vascularization of clinical-size bone grafts is an unsolved challenge in regenerative medicine. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) is the master regulator of angiogenesis. Its over-expression by genetically modified human osteoprogenitors has been previously evaluated to drive vascularization in osteogenic grafts, but has been observed to cause paradoxical bone loss through excessive osteoclast recruitment. However, during bone development angiogenesis and osteogenesis are physiologically coupled by VEGF expression. Here we investigated whether the mode of VEGF delivery may be a key to recapitulate its physiological function. VEGF activity requires binding to the extracellular matrix, and heterogeneous levels of expression lead to localized microenvironments of excessive dose. Therefore we hypothesized that a homogeneous distribution of matrix-associated factor in the microenvironment may enable efficient coupling of angiogenesis and bone formation. This was achieved by decorating fibrin matrices with a cross-linkable engineered version of VEGF (TG-VEGF) that is released only by enzymatic cleavage by invading cells. In ectopic grafts, both TG-VEGF and VEGF-expressing progenitors similarly improved vascularization within the first week, but efficient bone formation was possible only in the factor-decorated matrices, whereas heterogenous, cell-based VEGF expression caused significant bone loss. In critical-size orthotopic calvaria defects, TG-VEGF effectively improved early vascular invasion, osteoprogenitor survival and differentiation, as well as bone repair compared to both controls and VEGF-expressing progenitors. In conclusion, homogenous distribution of matrix-associated VEGF protein preserves the physiological coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis, providing an attractive and clinically applicable strategy to engineer vascularized bone. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The therapeutic regeneration of vascularized bone is an unsolved challenge in regenerative medicine. Stimulation of blood vessel growth by over-expression of VEGF has been associated with paradoxical bone loss, whereas angiogenesis and osteogenesis are physiologically coupled by VEGF during development. Here we found that controlling the distribution of VEGF dose in an osteogenic graft is key to recapitulate its physiological function. In fact, homogeneous decoration of fibrin matrices with engineered VEGF could improve both vascularization and bone formation in orthotopic critical-size defects, dispensing with the need for combined osteogenic factor delivery. VEGF-decorated fibrin matrices provide a readily translatable platform for engineering a controlled microenvironment for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Despite the bone ability of self-regeneration, large bone defects require surgical intervention. Likewise, when it comes to osteoporotic bone fractures, new approaches should be considered a supportive mechanism for the surgery. In recent years, more and more attention has been attracted to advanced drug delivery systems for local osteoporosis treatment, combining appropriate biomaterials with antiosteoporotic drugs, allowing simultaneously to regenerate the bone and locally treat the osteoporosis. Within the current research, hyaluronic acid/strontium ranelate (HA/SrRan), HA/calcium phosphate nanoparticles (HA/CaP NPs), and HA/CaP NPs/SrRan hydrogels were prepared. The effect of CaP and SrRan presence in the composites on the swelling behavior, gel fraction, molecular structure, microstructure, and SrRan and Sr2+ release, as well as in vitro cell viability was evaluated. Obtained results revealed that the route of CaP nanoparticle incorporation into the HA matrix had a significant effect on the hydrogel gel fraction, rheological properties, swelling behavior, and microstructure. Nevertheless, it had a negligible effect on the release kinetics of SrRan and Sr2+. The highest cell (3T3) viability (>80%) was observed for HA hydrogels, with and without SrRan. Moreover, the positive effect of SrRan on 3T3 cells was also demonstrated, showing a significant increase (up to 50%) in cell viability if the used concentrations of SrRan were in the range of 0.05-0.2 μg/ml.

Abstract
The gut microbiota has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Recent studies suggest that the gut microbiota is also closely associated with bone metabolism. However, given the high diversity of the gut microbiota, the effects of different taxa and compositions on bone are poorly understood. Previous studies demonstrated that the mechanisms underlying the effects of the gut microbiota on bone mainly include its modulation of nutrient absorption, intestinal permeability, metabolites (such as short-chain amino acids), immune responses, and hormones or neurotransmitters (such as 5-hydroxytryptamine). Several studies found that external interventions, such as dietary changes, improved bone health and altered the composition of the gut microbiota. This review summarises the beneficial gut bacteria and explores how dietary, natural, and physical factors alter the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota to improve bone health, thereby providing potential new insight into the prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The rapid increase in both the lifespan and proportion of older adults in developed countries is accompanied by the dramatic growth of age-associated chronic diseases, including obesity, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis. Hence, prevention and treatment of age-associated chronic diseases has become increasingly urgent. The key to achieving this goal is a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying their pathophysiology, some aspects of which, despite extensive investigation, are still not fully understood. Aging, obesity, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis are characterized by the creation of a systemic, chronic, low-grade inflammation (SCLGI). The common mechanisms that govern the development of these chronic conditions include a failed resolution of inflammation. Physiologically, the process of inflammation resolution is provided mainly by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) acting via cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Noteworthy, SPM levels and the expression of their receptors are significantly reduced in aging and the associated chronic disorders. In preclinical studies, supplementation of SPMs or their stable, small-molecule SPM mimetics and receptor agonists reveals clear beneficial effects in inflammation-related obesity and sarcopenic and osteoporotic conditions, suggesting a translational potential. Age-associated chronic disorders are also characterized by gut dysbiosis and the accumulation of senescent cells in the adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and bones. Based on these findings, we propose SCLGI resolution as a novel strategy for the prevention/treatment of age-associated obesity, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis. Our approach entails the enhancement of inflammation resolution by SPM mimetics and receptor agonists in concert with probiotics/prebiotics and compounds that eliminate senescent cells and their pro-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) has severely affected human health, which is characterized by abnormal differentiation of osteoclasts. Urolithin B (UB), as a potential natural drug, has been reported to exhibit numerous biological activities including antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory but its effects on OP, especially on RANKL‐stimulated osteoclast formation and activation, are still understood. In our study, we have demonstrated for the first time that UB inhibits RANKL‐induced osteoclast differentiation and explored its potential mechanisms of action. The RAW264.7 cells were cultured and induced with RANKL followed by UB treatment. Then, the effects of UB on mature osteoclast differentiation were evaluated by counting tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)‐positive multinucleated cells and F‐actin ring analysis. Moreover, the effects of UB on RANKL‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by 2′, 7′‐dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH‐DA) staining. Further, we explored the potential mechanisms of these downregulation effects by performing Western blotting and quantitative RT‐PCR examination. We found that UB represses osteoclastogenesis, F‐actin belts formation, osteoclast‐specific gene expressions and ROS activity in a time‐ and concentration‐dependent manner. Mechanistically, UB attenuates intracellular ROS levels by upregulation of Nrf2 and other ROS scavenging enzymes activation. Furthermore, UB also inhibited RANKL‐induced NF‐κB, MAPK and Akt signalling pathway and suppressed expression of c‐Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), which is the master transcription factor of osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our findings confirm that UB is a polyphenolic compound that can be a potential therapeutic treatment for osteoclast‐related bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone remodelling is generally a dynamic process orchestrated by bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Osteoclasts are the only cell type capable of bone resorption to maintain bone homeostasis in the human body. However, excessive osteoclastogenesis can lead to osteolytic diseases. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) has been widely considered to be an important modulator of osteoclastogenesis thereby participating in the pathogenesis of osteolytic diseases. Transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase family, is an important intracellular molecule that regulates multiple signalling pathways, such as NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase to mediate multiple physiological processes, including cell survival, inflammation, and tumourigenesis. Furthermore, increasing evidence has demonstrated that TAK1 is intimately involved in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, several detailed mechanisms by which TAK1 regulates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis have been clarified, and some potential approaches targeting TAK1 for the treatment of osteolytic diseases have emerged. In this review, we discuss how TAK1 functions in RANKL-mediated signalling pathways and highlight the significant role of TAK1 in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. In addition, we discuss the potential clinical implications of TAK1 inhibitors for the treatment of osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) results from a reduction in bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration in bone tissue due to estrogen deficiency, which may increase the incidence of fragility fractures. The number of people suffering from PMO has increased over the years because of the rapidly aging population worldwide. However, several pharmacological agents for the treatment of PMO have many safety risks and impose a heavy financial burden to patients and society. In recent years, the "gut-bone" axis has been proposed as a new approach in the prevention and treatment of PMO. This paper reviews the relationship between the gut microbiota and PMO, which mainly includes the underlying mechanisms between hormones, immunity, nutrient metabolism, metabolites of the gut microbiota and intestinal permeability, and explores the possible role of the gut microbiota in these processes. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic effects of diet, prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation on the gut microbiota.

Abstract
Background A growing number of studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs play an important role in osteoclast differentiation. However, there are few studies on the roles of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 15 (SNHG15) in osteoclast differentiation. Methods The expressions of SNHG15, miR-381-3p, and never in mitosis-related kinase 2 (NEK2) mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR); Western blot detected NEK2 and osteoclast markers (Cathepsin K, CTSK), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), nuclear factor of activated T cell 2 (NFAT2), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) protein levels; cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and the formation of osteoclasts was observed by TRAP staining; the F-actin skeleton was stained with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) phalloidin; cell migration rate was detected by Transwell; dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay verified the targeting relationship between miR-381-3p, SNHG15, and NEK2. Results The expression of SNHG15 was increased in THP-1 cells stimulated by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL). Overexpression of SNHG15 significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, osteoclast differentiation, and expression of osteoclast markers CTSK, MMP9, NFAT2, and TRAP of THP-1 cells induced by M-CSF/RANKL. Knockdown of SNHG15 reversed this effect. Overexpression of SNHG15 downregulated the inhibitory effect of overexpression of miR-381-3p on the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of THP-1 cells induced by M-CSF/RANKL. Knockdown of miR-381-3p reversed the inhibitory effect of knockdown of NEK2 on the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of THP-1 cells induced by M-CSF/RANKL. Conclusion SNHG15 acted as a ceRNA promoted the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of THP-1 cells induced by M-CSF/RANKL through sponging miR-381-3p to promote the expression of NEK2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) are a class of inflammatory and degener-ative diseases, but the precise molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays an essential role in the pathophysiological process of MSD. This review summarized the interaction be-tween m6A RNA methylation and ncRNAs in the molecular regulatory mechanism of MSD. It provides a new perspective for the pathophysiological mechanism and ncRNA m6A targeted therapy of MSD. METHODS A comprehensive search of databases was conducted with musculoskeletal disorders, noncoding RNA, N6-methyladenosine, intervertebral disc degeneration, oste-oporosis, osteosarcoma, osteoarthritis, skeletal muscle, bone, and cartilage as the key-words. Then, summarized all the relevant articles. RESULTS Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), osteoporosis (OP), osteosarcoma (OS), and osteoarthritis (OA) are common MSDs that affect muscle, bone, cartilage, and joint, leading to limited movement, pain, and disability. However, the precise pathogenesis remains unclear, and no effective treatment and drug is available at present. Numerous studies confirmed that the mutual regulation between m6A and ncRNAs (i.e., microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs) was found in MSD, m6A modification can regulate ncRNAs, and ncRNAs can also target m6A regulators. ncRNA m6A modification plays an essential role in the pathophysiological process of MSDs by regulating the homeostasis of skeletal muscle, bone, and cartilage. CONCLUSION m6A interacts with ncRNAs to regulate multiple biological processes and plays important roles in IDD, OP, OS, and OA. These studies provide new insights into the pathophysiological mechanism of MSD and targeting m6A-modified ncRNAs may be a promising therapy approach.

Abstract
Obesity and periodontitis are both common health concerns that have given rise to considerable economic and societal burden worldwide. There are established negative relationships between bone metabolism and obesity, obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM), and DM and periodontitis, to name a few, with osteoporosis being considered a long-term complication of obesity. In the oral cavity, bone metabolic disorders primarily display as increased risks for periodontitis and alveolar bone loss. Obesity-driven alveolar bone loss and mandibular osteoporosis have been observed in animal models without inoculation of periodontopathogens. Clinical reports have also indicated a possible association between obesity and periodontitis. This review systematically summarizes the clinical periodontium changes, including alveolar bone loss in obese individuals. Relevant laboratory-based reports focusing on biological interlinks in obesity-associated bone remodeling via processes like hyperinflammation, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis, were reviewed. We also discuss the potential mechanism underlying obesity-enhanced alveolar bone loss from both the systemic and periodontal perspectives, focusing on delineating the practical considerations for managing periodontal disease in obese patients.

Abstract
Introduction To study human physiological and pathological bone remodeling while addressing the principle of replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experiments (3Rs), human in vitro bone remodeling models are being developed. Despite increasing safety-, scientific-, and ethical concerns, fetal bovine serum (FBS), a nutritional medium supplement, is still routinely used in these models. To comply with the 3Rs and to improve the reproducibility of such in vitro models, xenogeneic-free medium supplements should be investigated. Human platelet lysate (hPL) might be a good alternative as it has been shown to accelerate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and improve subsequent mineralization. However, for a human in vitro bone model, hPL should also be able to adequately support osteoclastic differentiation and subsequent bone resorption. In addition, optimizing co-culture medium conditions in mono-cultures might lead to unequal stimulation of co-cultured cells. Methods We compared supplementation with 10% FBS vs. 10%, 5%, and 2.5% hPL for osteoclast formation and resorption by human monocytes (MCs) in mono-culture and in co-culture with (osteogenically stimulated) human MSCs. Results and Discussion Supplementation of hPL can lead to a less donor-dependent and more homogeneous osteoclastic differentiation of MCs when compared to supplementation with 10% FBS. In co-cultures, osteoclastic differentiation and resorption in the 10% FBS group was almost completely inhibited by MSCs, while the supplementation with hPL still allowed for resorption, mostly at low concentrations. The addition of hPL to osteogenically stimulated MSC mono- and MC-MSC co-cultures resulted in osteogenic differentiation and bone-like matrix formation, mostly at high concentrations. Conclusion We conclude that hPL could support both osteoclastic differentiation of human MCs and osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs in mono- and in co-culture, and that this can be balanced by the hPL concentration. Thus, the use of hPL could limit the need for FBS, which is currently commonly accepted for in vitro bone remodeling models.

Abstract
Curculigo orchioides is widely used to treat osteoporosis in China. In this study, we identified the active substances in the crude polysaccharide (CO50) from C. orchioides that had anti-osteoporosis activity in vivo. Two polysaccharides, COP50-1 and COP50-4, were purified from CO50. Based on structural analysis, COP50-1 was composed of α-D-Glcp-(1→, β-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, →3,4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, →4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, →4,6)-β-D-Manp-(1→, whereas COP50-4 was composed of α-L-Araf-(1→, →2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, β-D-Manp-(1→, α-D-Galp-(1→, →2,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, →2)-β-D-Manp-(1→, →4)-α-D-GlcAp-(1→, →3)-α-D-GalAp-(1→, →4,6)-α-D-Galp-(1→, →2,3,6)-β-D-Manp-(1→, →2,3,5)-α-L-Araf-(1→, →2,5)-α-L-Araf-(1→, →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ and →3)-α-D-Galp-(1→. Pharmacological assessment revealed that COP50-1 had no obvious osteogenic activity. However, COP50-4 (0.5 μM) significantly enhanced the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts in vitro. Moreover, the effect of COP50-4 was greater than that of 17β-estradiol. Therefore, COP50-4 may be an effective component of CO50 that has great potential for development as an alternative drug for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Identification of Di/Tripeptide(s) With Osteoblasts Proliferation Stimulation Abilities of Yak Bone Collagen by in silico Screening and Molecular Docking. Front Nutr 2022; 9:874259.

Abstract
Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), cannabinoid receptor 2 (CBR2), and estrogen receptor α (ERα) play vital roles in osteoblasts proliferation. Also, collagen peptides have osteoblasts proliferation stimulation abilities, and di/tri-peptides could be absorbed by the intestine more easily. This study obtained three di/tripeptides with potential osteoblasts proliferation stimulation abilities of yak bone collagen, namely, MGF, CF, and MF, by in silico screening. Results suggested that these three peptides exhibited good absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties. They also had strong affinities with EPCR, CBR2, and ERα, and the total -CDOCKER energy (-CE) values were 150.9469, 113.1835, and 115.3714 kcal/mol, respectively. However, further Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays indicated that only MGF could significantly (P < 0.05) stimulate osteoblasts proliferation at 0.3 mg/ml. At the same time, the proliferating index (PI) of the osteoblasts treated with MGF increased significantly (P < 0.05), and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity decreased highly significantly (P < 0.01). In summary, MGF exhibited the potential to be an effective treatment for osteoporosis.

Crocus sativus L. Petal Extract Inhibits Inflammation and Osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 Cell Model. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14061290. [PMID: 35745865 PMCID: PMC9230138 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14061290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae) are traditionally processed to produce saffron, a spice widely used as a food coloring and flavoring agent, which is important in the pharmaceutical and textile dye-producing industries. The labor-intensive by-hand harvesting and the use of only a small amount of each flower cause saffron to be the most expensive spice in the world. Crocus sp. petals are by-products of saffron production and represent an interesting raw material for the preparation of extracts intended for health protection in the perspective of a circular economy. In the present study, ethanolic extract from Crocus sativus L. petals (Crocus sativus L. petal extract, CsPE) was tested on macrophages by in vitro models of inflammation and osteoclastogenesis. The extract was found to be endowed with anti-inflammatory activity, significantly reducing the nitric oxide production and IL-6 release by RAW 264.7 murine cells. Moreover, CsPE demonstrated an anti-osteoclastogenic effect, as revealed by a complete inhibition of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclast formation and a decreased expression of key osteoclast-related genes. This study, which focuses on the macrophage as the target cell of the bioactive extract from Crocus sativus L. petals, suggests that the petal by-product of saffron processing can usefully be part of a circular economy network aimed at producing an extract that potentially prevents bone disruption.

Abstract
Objectives The main target of current drugs for alleviating bone loss is osteoclasts. However, the long‐term application of such drugs will also cause side effects. Therefore, it is of great need to develop new and safer therapeutics for osteoporosis. In recent years, drug development based on gut microbiota has gradually attracted attention. This manuscript investigates the inhibitory effect of urolithin B (UB) on osteoclastogenesis and differentiation in vitro and in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Materials and Methods CCK‐8 was used to analyse the cytotoxicity of UB; BMMs cells were differentiated into osteoclasts by RANKL, and respectively treated with 1, 5, and 25 μmol/L UB during this process. After one week of intervention, tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was used to analyse the number and average area of osteoclasts. F‐actin staining and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to evaluate the morphology and function of osteoclasts. Bone resorption function of osteoclasts was detected by Pit Formation Assay. The expression of osteoclast‐related protein genes in RAW264.7 cells were investigated via western blot and RT‐PCR assays. Western blot analysis of RANKL‐mediated activation of MAPK/NF‐κB pathway after 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 min of intervention. For in vivo experiments, OVX mice received intraperitoneal injection of 10, 50 mg/kg every two days, 8 weeks later, the femurs of mice were taken for morphological analysis, and the serum content of CTX‐1, a bone metabolism index, was analysed. Results UB could inhibit the osteoclast differentiation of rankl‐induced bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) and RAW264.7 cells in vitro, suppress the uptake activity of hydroxyapatite and expression of osteoclast‐related gene MMP9, CTSK, NFATc1 and c‐fos. Furthermore, UB repressed the rankl‐induced phosphorylation and degradation of IκB and the phosphorylation of P65 in the NF‐κB pathway of RAW264.7 cells, and also down‐regulated the phosphorylation level of ERK in the MAPK pathway. For in vivo studies, UB‐treated OVX mice showed more significant improved various parameters of distal femur compared with the control group, with fewer NFATc1, MMP9 and TRAP‐positive osteoclasts in bone tissues, and less serum content of CTX‐1. Conclusion Urolithin B attenuated bone loss in OVX mice by inhibiting the formation and activation of osteoclasts via down‐regulation of the ERK/NF‐κB signalling pathway.

Abstract
Cell fusion (fusogenesis) occurs in natural and pathological conditions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cells of monocyte–macrophage lineage are highly fusogenic. They create syncytial multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) such as osteoclasts (OCs), MGCs associated with the areas of infection/inflammation, and foreign body-induced giant cells (FBGCs). The fusion of monocytes/macrophages with tumor cells may promote cancer metastasis. We describe types and examples of monocyte–macrophage lineage cell fusion and the role of actin-based structures in cell fusion.

Abstract
Ras homologue enriched in brain 1 (Rheb1), an upstream activator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), is known to modulate various cellular processes. However, its impact on bone metabolism in vivo remains unknown. The study aimed at understanding the role of Rheb1 on bone homeostasis. We measured the serum parameters and performed histomorphometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting, along with the generation of mouse gene knockout (KO) model, and conducted a microcomputed tomography analysis and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, to delineate the impacts of Rheb1 on bone homeostasis. In the Rheb1 KO mice, the results showed that Rheb1 KO caused significant damage to the bone microarchitecture, indicating that mTORC1 activity was essential for the regulation of bone homeostasis. Specifically, suppressed mineralization activity in primary osteoblasts and a decreased osteoblast number were observed in the Rheb1 KO mice, demonstrating that loss of Rheb1 led to impaired osteoblastic differentiation. Furthermore, the higher apoptotic ratio in Rheb1-null osteocytes could promote Tnfsf11 expression and lead to an increase in osteoclasts, indicating increased bone resorption activity in the KO mice. The findings confirmed that Rheb1 deletion in osteoblasts/osteocytes led to osteopenia due to impaired bone formation and enhanced bone resorption.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are derived from hematopoietic stem cells. Monocyte preosteoclasts obtain resorbing activity via cell–cell fusion to generate multinucleated cells. However, the mechanisms and molecules involved in the fusion process are poorly understood. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing with single nucleated cells (SNCs) and multinucleated cells (MNCs) to identify the fusion-specific genes. The SNCs and MNCs were isolated under the same conditions during osteoclastogenesis with the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) administration. Based on this analysis, the expression of seven genes was found to be significantly increased in MNCs but decreased in SNCs, compared to that in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). We then generated knockout macrophage cell lines using a CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing tool to examine their function during osteoclastogenesis. Calcrl-, Marco-, or Ube3a-deficient cells could not develop multinucleated giant osteoclasts upon RANKL stimulation. However, Tmem26-deficient cells fused more efficiently than control cells. Our findings demonstrate that Calcrl, Marco, and Ube3a are novel determinants of osteoclastogenesis, especially with respect to cell fusion, and highlight potential targets for osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
Zingerone (Zin) is a non-volatile compound found mainly in dried ginger. Zingerone increases the expression of osteogenic markers and has antioxidant effects. A previous study showed that zingerone accelerated osteoblast differentiation by suppressing the expression of Smad7, a member of the inhibitory Smad (I-Smad) family. However, it is not known if zingerone can induce osteoblast differentiation by regulating Smad1/5/9, a member of the receptor-regulated Smad (R-Smad) famlily. In addition, osteoblast differentiation induced by Smad1/5/9 mediated increases in the expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) has not been reported. This study investigated the effects of zingerone on osteoblast differentiation and confirmed the relationship between Smad1/5/9 and HO-1. Zingerone increased the expression of osteogenic genes including Runx2, Dlx5 and OC, and also promoted Smad1/5/9 phosphorylation. Interestingly, HO-1 expression was also elevated by zingerone, and an inhibitor of HO-1 (Sn(IV) protoporphyrin IX dichloride, SnPP) suppressed the zingerone-induced increase in HO-1 expression and expression of osteogenic marker genes such as Dlx5, Runx2, and OC. Protein phosphatase 2A Cα (PP2A Cα, an inhibitor of Smad1/5/9) suppressed the zingerone-induced increase in HO-1 expression and expression of osteogenic marker genes. The zingerone-induced increase in HO-1 lucifeerase activity was suppressed by PP2A Cα. Taken together, our data demonstrate that zingerone promotes osteoblast differentiation by increasing Smad1/5/9 mediated HO-1 expression.

Abstract
In response to mechanical forces and the aging process, bone in the adult skeleton is continuously remodeled by a process in which old and damaged bone is removed by bone-resorbing osteoclasts and subsequently is replaced by new bone by bone-forming cells, osteoblasts. During this essential process of bone remodeling, osteoclastic resorption is tightly coupled to osteoblastic bone formation. Bone-resorbing cells, multinuclear giant osteoclasts, derive from the monocyte/macrophage hematopoietic lineage and their differentiation is driven by distinct signaling molecules and transcription factors. Critical factors for this process are Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) and Receptor Activator Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand (RANKL). Besides their resorption activity, osteoclasts secrete coupling factors which promote recruitment of osteoblast precursors to the bone surface, regulating thus the whole process of bone remodeling. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), a family of multi-functional growth factors involved in numerous molecular and signaling pathways, have significant role in osteoblast-osteoclast communication and significantly impact bone remodeling. It is well known that BMPs help to maintain healthy bone by stimulating osteoblast mineralization, differentiation and survival. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that BMPs not only help in the anabolic part of bone remodeling process but also significantly influence bone catabolism. The deletion of the BMP receptor type 1A (BMPRIA) in osteoclasts increased osteoblastic bone formation, suggesting that BMPR1A signaling in osteoclasts regulates coupling to osteoblasts by reducing bone-formation activity during bone remodeling. The dual effect of BMPs on bone mineralization and resorption highlights the essential role of BMP signaling in bone homeostasis and they also appear to be involved in pathological processes in inflammatory disorders affecting bones and joints. Certain BMPs (BMP2 and -7) were approved for clinical use; however, increased bone resorption rather than formation were observed in clinical applications, suggesting the role BMPs have in osteoclast activation and subsequent osteolysis. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of BMP signaling in osteoclasts, its role in osteoclast resorption, bone remodeling, and osteoblast–osteoclast coupling.

Locally Secreted Semaphorin 4D Is Engaged in Both Pathogenic Bone Resorption and Retarded Bone Regeneration in a Ligature-Induced Mouse Model of Periodontitis. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105630. [PMID: 35628440 PMCID: PMC9148012 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
It is well known that Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) inhibits IGF-1-mediated osteogenesis by binding with PlexinB1 expressed on osteoblasts. However, its elevated level in the gingival crevice fluid of periodontitis patients and the broader scope of its activities in the context of potential upregulation of osteoclast-mediated periodontal bone-resorption suggest the need for further investigation of this multifaceted molecule. In short, the pathophysiological role of Sema4D in periodontitis requires further study. Accordingly, attachment of the ligature to the maxillary molar of mice for 7 days induced alveolar bone-resorption accompanied by locally elevated, soluble Sema4D (sSema4D), TNF-α and RANKL. Removal of the ligature induced spontaneous bone regeneration during the following 14 days, which was significantly promoted by anti-Sema4D-mAb administration. Anti-Sema4D-mAb was also suppressed in vitro osteoclastogenesis and pit formation by RANKL-stimulated BMMCs. While anti-Sema4D-mAb downmodulated the bone-resorption induced in mouse periodontitis, it neither affected local production of TNF-α and RANKL nor systemic skeletal bone remodeling. RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and resorptive activity were also suppressed by blocking of CD72, but not Plexin B2, suggesting that sSema4D released by osteoclasts promotes osteoclastogenesis via ligation to CD72 receptor. Overall, our data indicated that ssSema4D released by osteoclasts may play a dual function by decreasing bone formation, while upregulating bone-resorption.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory oral disease that affects approximately 42% of adults 30 years of age or older in the United States. In response to microbial dysbiosis within the periodontal pockets surrounding teeth, the host immune system generates an inflammatory environment in which soft tissue and alveolar bone destruction occur. The objective of this study was to identify diagnostic biomarkers and the mechanistic drivers of inflammation in periodontitis to identify drugs that may be repurposed to treat chronic inflammation. A meta-analysis comprised of two independent RNA-seq datasets was performed. RNA-seq analysis, signal pathway impact analysis, protein-protein interaction analysis, and drug target analysis were performed to identify the critical pathways and key players that initiate inflammation in periodontitis as well as to predict potential drug targets. Seventy-eight differentially expressed genes, 10 significantly impacted signaling pathways, and 10 hub proteins in periodontal gingival tissue were identified. The top 10 drugs that may be repurposed for treating periodontitis were then predicted from the gene expression and pathway data. The efficacy of these drugs in treating periodontitis has yet to be investigated. However, this analysis indicates that these drugs may serve as potential therapeutics to treat inflammation in gingival tissue affected by periodontitis.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bioceramics are the most widely used synthetic biomaterials for reconstructing damaged bone. Accompanied by bone healing process, implanted materials are gradually degraded while bone ultimately returns to its original geometry and function. In this progress report, we reviewed the complex and tight relationship between the bone healing response and CaP-based biomaterials, with the emphasis on the in vivo degradation mechanisms of such material and their osteoinductive properties mediated by immune responses, osteoclastogenesis and osteoblasts. A deep understanding of the interaction between biological healing process and biomaterials will optimize the design of CaP-based biomaterials, and further translate into effective strategies for biomaterials customization.

Extracellular vesicles from the inflammatory microenvironment regulate the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells by miR-758-5p/LMBR1/BMP2/4 axis. J Transl Med 2022; 20:208. [PMID: 35562763 PMCID: PMC9103284 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03412-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a key role in constructing a microenvironment that favors the differentiation of stem cells. The present work aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms by which EV derived from inflammatory dental pulp stem cell (iDPSC-EV) influence periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and provide a potential strategy for bone and dental pulp regeneration. Methods The osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, ALP staining, alizarin red S (ARS) staining, and immunofluorescence staining. To detect proliferation, the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and flow cytometry analysis were used. EVs were isolated by the Exoperfect kit and ultrafiltration and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and western blot. The expression profile of miRNAs in EVs was studied using miRNA sequence and bioinformatics, and one of the upregulated miRNAs was evaluated on PDLSCs. Results The inflammatory microenvironment stimulated osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs and iDPSC-EV behaved alike on PDLSCs. MiR-758-5p was upregulated in iDPSC-EV and was demonstrated to play a significant role in the osteogenic and odontogenic commitment of PDLSCs. A dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the binding site between miR-758-5p and limb development membrane protein 1 (LMBR1). The knockdown of LMBR1 also enhanced the above potential. Mechanically, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling was activated. Conclusions EVs from the inflammatory microenvironment enhanced the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of PDLSCs partly by shuttering LMBR1-targeting miR-758-5p via BMP signaling.

Abstract
The bone marrow (BM) niche is the spatial structure within the intra-trabecular spaces of spongious bones and of the cavity of long bones where adult haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain their undifferentiated and cellular self-renewal state through the intervention of vascular and nervous networks, metabolic pathways, transcriptional and epigenetic regulators, and humoral signals. Within the niche, HSCs interact with various cell types such as osteoblasts, endothelial cells, macrophages, and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which maintain HSCs in a quiescent state or sustain their proliferation, differentiation, and trafficking, depending on body needs. In physiological conditions, the BM niche permits the daily production of all the blood and immune cells and their admittance/ingress/progression into the bloodstream. However, disruption of this delicate microenvironment promotes the initiation and progression of malignancies such as those included in the spectrum of myeloid neoplasms, also favouring resistance to pharmacological therapies. Alterations in the MSC population and in the crosstalk with HSCs owing to tumour-derived factors contribute to the formation of a malignant niche. On the other hand, cells of the BM microenvironment cooperate in creating a unique milieu favouring metastasization of distant tumours into the bone. In this framework, the pro-tumorigenic role of MSCs is well-documented, and few evidence suggest also an anti-tumorigenic effect. Here we will review recent advances regarding the BM niche composition and functionality in normal and in malignant conditions, as well as the therapeutic implications of the interplay between its diverse cellular components and malignant cells.

Abstract
Aluminum has adverse effects on human health. Aluminum is poorly transported from the gastrointestinal tract, but if the load is high, a significant level of aluminum may be absorbed. There are two main sources of aluminum in infants - adapted formulas (when an infant is predominantly fed with it), and vaccines. After aluminum enters the circulation, it binds to transferrin and remains mainly in the skeleton for a longer period of time. Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is highly expressed on osteoblast-like cells whereas the number of TfR1 may additionally rise in case of iron deficiency. Since iron deficiency can induce the additional expression of TfR1, a larger quantities of aluminum may be uptaken by osteoblasts and consequently aluminum may decrease the number of osteoblasts and lead peak bone mass (PBM) closer to the osteoporotic threshold. Iron deficiency may potentiate aluminum-induced toxicity to bones. Aluminum burden in infants has always been considered as harmless whereas a potential increased toxicity of aluminum in high-sensitive infants caused by iron deficiency has not been evaluated.

Abstract
Flavonoids are natural phytochemicals that have therapeutic effects and act in the prevention of several pathologies. These phytochemicals can be found in seeds, grains, tea, coffee, wine, chocolate, cocoa, vegetables and, mainly, in citrus fruits. Neohesperidin, hesperidin and hesperetin are citrus flavonoids from the flavanones subclass that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential. Neohesperidin, in the form of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC), also has dietary properties as a sweetener. In general, these flavanones have been investigated as a strategy to control bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. In this literature review, we compiled studies that investigated the effects of neohesperidin, hesperidin and its aglycone, hesperetin, on bone health. In vitro studies showed that these flavanones exerted an antiosteoclastic and anti- inflammatory effects, inhibiting the expression of osteoclastic markers and reducing the levels of reactive oxygen species, proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase levels. Similarly, such studies favored the osteogenic potential of preosteoblastic cells and induced the overexpression of osteogenic markers. In vivo, these flavanones favored the regeneration of bone defects and minimized inflammation in arthritis- and periodontitis-induced models. Additionally, they exerted a significant anticatabolic effect in ovariectomy models, reducing trabecular bone loss and increasing bone mineral density. Although research should advance to the clinical field, these flavanones may have therapeutic potential for controlling the progression of metabolic, autoimmune or inflammatory bone diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As the main cause of osteoporosis, abnormal activity of osteoclasts could disrupt the balance between bone resorption and formation. Moreover, up-regulation of nuclear factor-kappa ligand (RANKL) expression by chronic inflammation-mediated inflammatory factors might contribute to the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells. Therefore, an anti-inflammatory agent named yangonin was presented for inhibiting osteoclast and relieving inflammatory osteoporosis through down-regulating inflammatory factors. METHODS We established a model of macrophage inflammation and then verified the anti-inflammatory effect of yangonin. The inhibitory effect of yangonin on osteoclasts was detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Finally, micro-CT, TRAP and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were used to show the effect of yangonin on inflammatory osteoporosis in vivo. RESULTS Our results suggested that yangonin was able to reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors, down-regulate osteoclast-related genes such as TRAP, RANKL, cathepsin K (CTSK) and nuclear factor-activated T-cell 1 (NFATc1). Furthermore, it was demonstrated that yangonin could suppress the function of inflammatory cytokines in osteoclast differentiation and reporting, wherein NF-κB, AKT and downstream c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathways were involved. In an in vivo study, we implied that yangonin has a relieving effect on inflammatory osteoporosis. CONCLUSION Our research shows that yangonin down-regulates inflammatory factors and inhibits the bone-breaking effect of inflammation through NF-κB, AKT and downstream c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathways to achieve the purpose of treating inflammatory osteoporosis.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying bone development, repair and regeneration are reliant on the interplay and communication between osteoclasts and other surrounding cells. Osteoclasts are multinucleated monocyte lineage cells with resorptive abilities, forming the bone marrow cavity during development. This marrow cavity, essential to hematopoiesis and osteoclast-osteoblast interactions, provides a setting to investigate the origin of osteoclasts and their multi-faceted roles. This Review examines recent developments in the embryonic understanding of osteoclast origin, as well as interactions within the immune environment to regulate normal and pathological bone development, homeostasis and repair.

Abstract
Oxidative stress involves enormously in the development of chronic inflammatory bone disease, wherein the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) negatively impacts the bone remodeling via promoting osteoclastogenesis and inhibiting osteogenesis. Lacking effective therapies highlights the importance of finding novel treatments. Our previous study screened a novel bioactive peptide D7 and demonstrated it could enhance the cell behaviors and protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Since BMSCs are progenitor cells of osteoblast (OB), we therefore ask whether D7 could also protect against the progress of inflammatory osteolysis. To validate our hypothesis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we first performed network pharmacology-based analysis according to the molecule structure of D7, and then followed by pharmacological evaluation on D7 by in vitro lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced models. The result from network pharmacology identified 20 candidate targets of D7 for inflammatory osteolysis intervention. The further analysis of Gene Ontology (GO)/KEGG pathway enrichment suggested the therapeutic effect of D7 may primarily affect osteoclast (OC) differentiation and function during the inflammatory osteolysis. Through validating the real effects of D7 on OC and OB as postulated, results demonstrated suppressive effects of D7 on LPS-stimulated OC differentiation and resorption, via the inhibition on OC marker genes. Contrarily, by improving the expression of OB marker genes, D7 displayed promotive effects on OB differentiation and alleviated LPS-induced osteogenic damage. Further mechanism study revealed that D7 could reduce LPS-induced ROS formation and strengthen antioxidants expressions in both OC and OB precursors, ameliorating LPS-triggered redox imbalance in bone remodeling. Taken together, our findings unveiled therapeutic effects of D7 against LPS-induced inflammatory osteolysis through the suppression of oxidative stress and the restoration of the bone remodeling process, providing a new therapeutic candidate for chronic inflammatory bone diseases.

Abstract
A major cause of osteoporosis is impaired coupled bone formation. Mechanistically, both osteoclast-derived and bone-derived growth factors have been previously implicated. We hypothesize that the release of bone calcium during osteoclastic bone resorption is essential for coupled bone formation. Osteoclastic resorption increases interstitial fluid calcium locally from the normal 1.8 mM up to 5 mM. MC3T3-E1 osteoprogenitors, cultured in a 3.6 mM calcium medium, demonstrated that calcium signaling stimulated osteogenic cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Calcium channel knockdown studies implicated calcium channels, Cav1.2, store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), and calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in regulating bone cell anabolic activities. MC3T3-E1 cultured in a 3.6 mM calcium medium expressed increased gene expression of Wnt signaling and growth factors platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP 2). Our coupling model of bone formation, the Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) treated mouse calvaria, confirmed the role of calcium signaling in coupled bone formation by exhibiting increased gene expression for osterix and osteocalcin. Critically, dual immunocytochemistry showed that RANKL treatment increased osterix positive cells and increased fluorescence intensity of Cav1.2 and CaSR protein expression per osterix positive cell. The data established that calcium released by osteoclasts contributed to the regulation of coupled bone formation. CRISPR/Cas-9 knockout of Cav1.2 in osteoprogenitors cultured in basal calcium medium caused a >80% decrease in the expression of downstream osteogenic genes, emphasizing the large magnitude of the effect of calcium signaling. Thus, calcium signaling is a major regulator of coupled bone formation.

Abstract
Background The present study analyzed the acute responses of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) to the low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction using different occlusion pressures. Methods Twelve women completed the three protocols of this crossover study: resistance exercise without blood flow restriction (RE), resistance exercise with blood flow restriction and occlusion pressure corresponding to 70% of systolic blood pressure (RE + BFR70), and resistance exercise with blood flow restriction and occlusion pressure corresponding 130% of systolic blood pressure (RE + BFR130). All exercises were performed in a guided squat apparatus with load corresponded to 30% of one-repetition maximum test. Results Relative to resting levels, PTH concentrations decreased significantly (p = .000) post-exercise in all groups and increased significantly (p = .000) 15 min post-exercise in RE + BFR70 and RE + BFR130 groups; PTH concentrations returned to resting levels after the 30-min recovery period in all groups. There was no significant difference (p >.05) between BSAP values at rest and 30 min post-exercise. Conclusion In conclusion, our results showed that protocols with blood flow restriction using occlusion pressures equivalent to 70% and 130% of systolic blood pressure were more effective than RE alone to induce PTH peaks, and to promote a metabolic condition favorable to bone anabolism.

Abstract
Bone tissue remodeling is a highly regulated process balancing bone formation and resorption through complex cellular crosstalk between resident bone and microenvironment cells. This cellular communication is mediated by direct cell and cell–matrix contact, autocrine, endocrine, and paracrine receptor mediated mechanisms such as local soluble signaling molecules and extracellular vesicles including nanometer sized exosomes. An impairment in this balanced process leads to development of pathological conditions. Bone tissue engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field with potential to address bone defects and disorders by synthesizing three-dimensional bone substitutes embedded with cells for clinical implantation. However, current cell-based therapeutic approaches have faced hurdles due to safety and ethical concerns, challenging their clinical translation. Recent studies on exosome-regulated bone homeostasis and regeneration have gained interest as prospective cell free therapy in conjugation with tissue engineered bone grafts. However, exosome research is still in its nascent stages of bone tissue engineering. In this review, we specifically describe the role of exosomes secreted by cells within bone microenvironment such as osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, mesenchymal stem cell cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, and even tumor cells during bone homeostasis and crosstalk. We also review exosome-based osteoinductive functionalization strategies for various bone-based biomaterials such as ceramics, polymers, and metals in bone tissue engineering. We further highlight biomaterials as carrier agents for exosome delivery to bone defect sites and, finally, the influence of various biomaterials in modulation of cell exosome secretome.

Abstract
Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) has been identified as a negative regulator of osteoblast differentiation in in vitro study. However, it was not associated with osteoblast differentiation in in vivo study. To provide an understanding of the discrepancy between the in vivo and in vitro findings regarding the function of ATF3 in osteoblasts, we investigated the unidentified roles of ATF3 in osteoblast biology. ATF3 enhanced osteoprotegerin (OPG) production, not only in osteoblast precursor cells, but also during osteoblast differentiation and osteoblastic adipocyte differentiation. In addition, ATF3 increased nodule formation in immature osteoblasts and decreased osteoblast-dependent osteoclast formation, as well as the transdifferentiation of osteoblasts to adipocytes. However, all these effects were reversed by the OPG neutralizing antibody. Taken together, these results suggest that ATF3 contributes to bone homeostasis by regulating the differentiation of various cell types in the bone microenvironment, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and adipocytes via inducing OPG production.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Traditional herbal medicines are becoming more popular as a complementary medication as they have the advantages of being mostly harmless and safe, causing fewer side-effects than conventional medications. Here, we demonstrate the inhibitory effects of the combination of Ulmus davidiana (UD) and Cornus officinalis (CO) extracts on osteoporotic bone loss. Materials and Methods: This study presented osteogenic effects in primary cultured osteoblasts, pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell lines, and osteoclastogenic effects in osteoclasts derived from bone marrow monocytes, and finally, protective effects on bone loss in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporotic animal model. Results: A significant increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was observed following treatment with UD and CO mixtures (8:2, 7:3, and 5:5 ratios) and individual UD and CO extracts, with the highest ALP activity being detected for the treatment with UD and CO extracts at a 5:5 ratio. An optimal ratio of UD and CO (UC) extract promoted osteoblast differentiation in both pre-osteoblastic cells and primary osteoblasts by increasing osteoblastic markers such as Alpl, Runx2, and Bglap. However, treatment with the UC extract inhibited osteoclast differentiation with a decreased expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes, including Ctsk, Acp5, Mmp9, and Nfatc1. In addition, UC treatment prevented osteoporotic bone loss in OVX mice and improved impaired skeletal structure parameters. Conclusions: This study suggests that combined UD and CO extracts may be a beneficial traditional medicine for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
The reconstruction of critical-sized segmental bone defects is a key challenge in orthopedics because of its intractability despite technological advancements. To overcome this challenge, scaffolds that promote rapid bone ingrowth and subsequent bone replacement are necessary. In this study, we fabricated three types of carbonate apatite honeycomb (HC) scaffolds with uniaxial channels bridging the stumps of a host bone. These HC scaffolds possessed different channel and micropore volumes. The HC scaffolds were implanted into the defects of rabbit ulnar shafts to evaluate the effects of channels and micropores on bone reconstruction. Four weeks postoperatively, the HC scaffolds with a larger channel volume promoted bone ingrowth compared to that with a larger micropore volume. In contrast, 12 weeks postoperatively, the HC scaffolds with a larger volume of the micropores rather than the channels promoted the scaffold resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation. Thus, the channels affected bone ingrowth in the early stage, and micropores affected scaffold resorption and bone formation in the middle stage. Furthermore, 12 weeks postoperatively, the HC scaffolds with large volumes of both channels and micropores formed a significantly larger amount of new bone than that attained using HC scaffolds with either large volume of channels or micropores, thereby bridging the host bone stumps. The findings of this study provide guidance for designing the pore structure of scaffolds.

Abstract
We investigated whether prepartum levels of serum bone biomarkers are related to the degree of parturient hypocalcaemia and risk of milk fever (MF) in dairy cows with advancing parity. A total of 58 late-pregnant cattle were assigned to four groups: nulliparous, primiparous, multiparous in the 2nd lactation and multiparous in the 3rd-5th lactation. The multiparous cows were further assigned to MF and non-MF groups according to the onset of MF. Serum samples were obtained from the cows during the 3 weeks prepartum to 5 d postpartum period for the measurement of serum calcium (Ca) and three bone biomarkers: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and bone isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (ALP3). The ratios of OPG to TRAP5b (O/T ratio) and ALP3 to TRAP5b (A/T ratio) were calculated. The data from all cattle showed that the severity of hypocalcaemia at parturition increased with advancing parity/age. The MF cows had elevated serum TRAP5b activity and a decreased O/T ratio after parturition, suggesting an increased number of osteoclasts due to osteoclastogenesis, in response to severe hypocalcaemia. The MF cows showed lower serum ALP3 activity during the 3 weeks prepartum than the non-MF cows, therefore, prepartum osteoblast function was likely weak in the MF cows. During the 2-3 weeks prepartum, serum ALP3 activity and the A/T ratio had moderate associations with the serum Ca concentration at day 0 (day of calving) in the multiparous cows, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that ALP3 activity had excellent ability to predict MF. In conclusion, prepartum serum ALP3 activity is a promising biomarker to predict MF in multiparous cows.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, is the most common bone disorder worldwide characterized by low bone mineral density, leaving affected bones vulnerable to fracture. Bone homeostasis depends on the precise balance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone matrix formation by mesenchymal lineage osteoblasts, and involves a series of complex and highly regulated steps. Bone homeostasis will be disrupted when the speed of bone resorption is faster than bone formation. Based on various regulatory mechanisms of bone homeostasis, a series of drugs targeting osteoporosis have emerged in clinical practice, including bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, calcitonin, molecular-targeted drugs and so on. However, many drugs have major adverse effects or are unsuitable for long-term use. Therefore, it is very urgent to find more effective therapeutic drugs based on the new pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In this review, we summarize novel mechanisms involved in the pathological process of osteoporosis, including the roles of gut microbiome, autophagy, iron balance and cellular senescence. Based on the above pathological mechanism, we found promising drugs for osteoporosis treatment, such as: probiotics, alpha-ketoglutarate, senolytics and hydrogen sulfide. This new finding may provide an important basis for elucidating the complex pathological mechanisms of osteoporosis and provide promising drugs for clinical osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is a chronic and progressive bone resorption following tooth loss. It causes deterioration of the oral environments and leads to the pathogenesis of various systemic diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms and risk factors for RRR progression are still unclear and controversial. In this study, we developed a tooth extraction model using mice for analyzing long-term morphological and gene expression changes in the alveolar bone. We further applied ovariectomy to this model to elucidate the effects of osteoporosis on RRR progression. As a result, the alveolar bone loss was biphasic and consisted of rapid loss in the early stages and subsequently slow and sustained bone loss over a long period. Histological analysis indicated that ovariectomy prolonged the activation of osteoclasts in the alveolar bone. Furthermore, the expressions of Tnfsf11 and Sema4d kept increasing for a long time in OVX mice. Administration of neutralization antibodies for receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) effectively suppressed RRR. Similarly, inhibition of Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) also improved alveolar bone loss. This study demonstrated that reduced ovarian function may be a risk factor for RRR and that RANKL and Sema4D suppression are potential treatments.

Abstract
Bone formation by osteoblasts is an essential process for proper bone acquisition and bone turnover to maintain skeletal homeostasis, and ultimately, prevent fracture. In the interest to both optimize peak bone mass and combat various musculoskeletal diseases (i.e., post-menopausal osteoporosis, anorexia nervosa, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus), incredible efforts have been made in the field of bone biology to fully characterize osteoblasts throughout their differentiation process. Given the primary role of mature osteoblasts to secrete matrix proteins and mineralization vesicles, it has been noted that these processes take an incredible amount of cellular energy, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The overall cellular energy status is often referred to as cellular bioenergetics, and it includes a series of metabolic reactions that sense substrate availability to derive ATP to meet cellular needs. Therefore, the current method details the process of isolating primary, murine bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and monitoring their bioenergetic status using the Real-time cell metabolic flux analyzer at various stages in osteoblast differentiation. Importantly, these data have demonstrated that the metabolic profile changes dramatically throughout osteoblast differentiation. Thus, using this physiologically relevant cell type is required to fully appreciate how a cell's bioenergetic status can regulate the overall function.

MicroRNA-1270 Inhibits Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion via Targeting IRF8 in Osteoblast-like Cell Lines. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:1182-1190.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is the most common bone disease affecting elderly individuals. The diagnosis of this pathology is most commonly made on the basis of bone fractures. Several microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been identified as possible biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of OP. miRNAs can regulate gene expression, and determining their functions can provide potential pharmacological targets for treating OP. A previous study showed that miR-1270 was upregulated in monocytes derived from postmenopausal women with OP. Therefore, the present study aimed to uncover the role of miR-1270 in regulating bone metabolism. To reveal the mechanism underlying the regulatory effect of miR-1270 on interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) expression, luciferase assay, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and Western blot analysis were performed. The results suggest that miR-1270 could regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of IRF8 by directly binding to its 3′-untranslated region. The effects of miR-1270 overexpression and IRF8 silencing on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were also evaluated. To the best of our knowledge, the current study was the first to support the crucial role of miR-1270 in bone metabolism via modulation of IRF8 expression. In addition, miR-1270 overexpression could attenuate human osteoblast-like cells’ proliferation and migration ability.

Titanium with nanotopography attenuates the osteoclast-induced disruption of osteoblast differentiation by regulating histone methylation. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 134:112548. [PMID: 35012895 PMCID: PMC9098699 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
The bone remodeling process is crucial for titanium (Ti) osseointegration and involves the crosstalk between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Considering the high osteogenic potential of Ti with nanotopography (Ti Nano) and that osteoclasts inhibit osteoblast differentiation, we hypothesized that nanotopography attenuate the osteoclast-induced disruption of osteoblast differentiation. Osteoblasts were co-cultured with osteoclasts on Ti Nano and Ti Control and non-co-cultured osteoblasts were used as control. Gene expression analysis using RNAseq showed that osteoclasts downregulated the expression of osteoblast marker genes and upregulated genes related to histone modification and chromatin organization in osteoblasts grown on both Ti surfaces. Osteoclasts also inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of osteoblast markers, and such effect was attenuated by Ti Nano. Also, osteoclasts increased the protein expression of H3K9me2, H3K27me3 and EZH2 in osteoblasts grown on both Ti surfaces. ChIP assay revealed that osteoclasts increased accumulation of H3K27me3 that represses the promoter regions of Runx2 and Alpl in osteoblasts grown on Ti Control, which was reduced by Ti Nano. In conclusion, these data show that despite osteoclast inhibition of osteoblasts grown on both Ti Control and Ti Nano, the nanotopography attenuates the osteoclast-induced disruption of osteoblast differentiation by preventing the increase of H3K27me3 accumulation that represses the promoter regions of some key osteoblast marker genes. These findings highlight the epigenetic mechanisms triggered by nanotopography to protect osteoblasts from the deleterious effects of osteoclasts, which modulate the process of bone remodeling and may benefit the osseointegration of Ti implants.
