Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize what is known in the literature about the role inflammation plays during bone fracture healing. Bone fracture healing progresses through four distinct yet overlapping phases: formation of the hematoma, development of the cartilaginous callus, development of the bony callus, and finally remodeling of the fracture callus. Throughout this process, inflammation plays a critical role in robust bone fracture healing. RECENT FINDINGS At the onset of injury, vessel and matrix disruption lead to the generation of an inflammatory response: inflammatory cells are recruited to the injury site where they differentiate, activate, and/or polarize to secrete cytokines for the purposes of cell signaling and cell recruitment. This process is altered by age and by sex. Bone fracture healing is heavily influenced by the presence of inflammatory cells and cytokines within the healing tissue.

Vitamin A enhanced periosteal osteoclastogenesis is associated with increased number of tissue-derived macrophages/osteoclast progenitors. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107308. [PMID: 38657862 PMCID: PMC11163173 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
A deleterious effect of elevated levels of vitamin A on bone health has been reported in clinical studies. Mechanistic studies in rodents have shown that numbers of periosteal osteoclasts are increased, while endocortical osteoclasts are simultaneously decreased by vitamin A treatment. The present study investigated the in vitro and in vivo effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the active metabolite of vitamin A, on periosteal osteoclast progenitors. Mouse calvarial bone cells were cultured in media containing ATRA, with or without the osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B-ligand (RANKL), on plastic dishes or bone discs. Whereas ATRA did not stimulate osteoclast formation alone, the compound robustly potentiated the formation of RANKL-induced bone resorbing osteoclasts. This effect was due to stimulation by ATRA (half-maximal stimulation ∼3 nM) on the numbers of macrophages/osteoclast progenitors in the bone cell cultures, as assessed by mRNA and protein expression of several macrophage and osteoclast progenitor cell markers, such as macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B, F4/80, and CD11b, as well as by flow cytometry (FACS) analysis of CD11b+/F480+/Gr1- cells. The stimulation of macrophage numbers in the periosteal cell cultures was not mediated by increased macrophage colony-stimulating factor or interleukin-34. In contrast, ATRA did not enhance macrophages in bone marrow cell cultures. Importantly, ATRA treatment upregulated the mRNA expression of several macrophage-related genes in the periosteum of tibia in adult mice. These observations demonstrate a novel mechanism by which vitamin A enhances osteoclast formation specifically on periosteal surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When the natural process of bone remodeling is disturbed, the need arises for a stimulant material in order to enhance the formation of a new healthy and strong osseous tissue to replace the damaged one. Recent studies have reported synthetic biomaterials to be a very good option for supporting bone regeneration. STUDY DESIGN Narrative review. OBJECTIVE This review aims to provide a brief presentation of two of the most recently developed synthetic biomaterials, i.e. calcium phosphate cements and synthetic composites, that are currently being used in bone regeneration with promising results. METHODS Literature searches using broad terms such as "bone regeneration," "biomaterials," "synthetic composites" and "calcium phosphate cements" were performed using PubMed. The osteal cells state of the art was explored by searching topic-specific full text keywords using Google Scholar. CONCLUSIONS Synthetic polymers such as PCL (poly-ε-caprolactone) and PLGA (poly lactic-co-glycolic acid) can improve the effectiveness of biomaterials like HA (hydroxyapatite) and BG (bioglass). Calcium phosphate, although being a suitable material for stimulating bone regeneration, needs an adjuvant in order to be effective in larger bone defects.

Osteomacs promote maintenance of murine hematopoiesis through megakaryocyte-induced upregulation of Embigin and CD166. Stem Cell Reports 2024; 19:486-500. [PMID: 38458190 PMCID: PMC11096441 DOI: 10.1016/j.stemcr.2024.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function in the niche is an orchestrated event. Osteomacs (OM) are key cellular components of the niche. Previously, we documented that osteoblasts, OM, and megakaryocytes interact to promote hematopoiesis. Here, we further characterize OM and identify megakaryocyte-induced mediators that augment the role of OM in the niche. Single-cell mRNA-seq, mass spectrometry, and CyTOF examination of megakaryocyte-stimulated OM suggested that upregulation of CD166 and Embigin on OM augment their hematopoiesis maintenance function. CD166 knockout OM or shRNA-Embigin knockdown OM confirmed that the loss of these molecules significantly reduced the ability of OM to augment the osteoblast-mediated hematopoietic-enhancing activity. Recombinant CD166 and Embigin partially substituted for OM function, characterizing both proteins as critical mediators of OM hematopoietic function. Our data identify Embigin and CD166 as OM-regulated critical components of HSC function in the niche and potential participants in various in vitro manipulations of stem cells.

Abstract
Maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function is an orchestrated event between multiple cell types, and crosstalk between these cell types is an essential part of HSC regulation. Among the cell groups of the niche involved in this process are a group of bone-resident macrophages known as osteomacs (OM). Previously, it was demonstrated that OM and osteoblasts contained within neonatal calvarial cells are critical to maintain hematopoietic function. Additionally, interactions between neonatal calvarial cells and megakaryocytes further enhance this hematopoietic activity. In this chapter, we explore one such interaction involving OM and osteoblasts in the hematopoietic niche. We describe a protocol to isolate OM from both neonatal and adult mice, and subsequently use colony-forming assays to demonstrate their interaction with osteoblasts in maintaining HSC function.

An in vivo study to investigate an original intramedullary bone graft harvesting technology. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:349. [PMID: 37715198 PMCID: PMC10503043 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01328-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Harvesting bone graft (BG) from the intramedullary canal to treat bone defects is largely conducted using the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA) system. The RIA system uses irrigation fluid during harvesting, which may result in washout of osteoinductive factors. Here, we propose a new harvesting technology dedicated to improving BG collection without the potential washout effect of osteoinductive factors associated with irrigation fluid. This novel technology involves the conceptual approach of first aspirating the bone marrow (BM) with a novel aspirator prototype, followed by reaming with standard reamers and collecting the bone chips with the aspirator (reaming-aspiration method, R-A method). The aim of this study was to assess the harvesting efficacy and osteoinductive profile of the BG harvested with RIA 2 system (RIA 2 group) compared to the novel harvesting concept (aspirator + R-A method, ARA group). METHODS Pre-planning computed tomography (CT) imaging was conducted on 16 sheep to determine the femoral isthmus canal diameter. In this non-recovery study, sheep were divided into two groups: RIA 2 group (n = 8) and ARA group (n = 8). We measured BG weight collected from left femur and determined femoral cortical bone volume reduction in postoperative CT imaging. Growth factor and inflammatory cytokine amounts of the BGs were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. RESULTS The use of the stand-alone novel aspirator in BM collection, and in harvesting BG when the aspirator is used in conjunction with sequential reaming (R-A method) was proven feasible. ELISA results showed that the collected BG contained relevant amounts of growth factors and inflammatory cytokines in both the RIA 2 and the ARA group. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present the first results of an innovative concept for harvesting intramedullary BG. It is a prototype of a novel aspirator technology that enables the stepwise harvesting of first BM and subsequent bone chips from the intramedullary canal of long bones. Both the BG collected with the RIA 2 system and the aspirator prototype had the capacity to preserve the BG's osteoinductive microenvironment. Future in vivo studies are required to confirm the bone regenerative capacity of BG harvested with the innovative harvesting technology.

Abstract
Antipsychotics are commonly used in treating psychiatric disorders. These medications primarily target dopamine the serotonin receptors, they have some affinity to adrenergic, histamine, glutamate and muscarinic receptors. There is clinical evidence that antipsychotic use decreases BMD and increases fracture risk, with dopamine, serotonin and adrenergic receptor-signalling becoming an increasing area of focus where the presence of these receptors in osteoclasts and osteoblasts have been demonstrated. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are the most important cells in the bone remodelling and the bone regeneration process where the activity of these cells determine the bone resorption and formation process in order to maintain healthy bone. However, an imbalance in osteoclast and osteoblast activity can lead to decreased BMD and increased fracture risk, which is also believed to be exacerbated by antipsychotics use. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the mechanisms of action of first, second and third generation antipsychotics and the expression profiles of dopamine, serotonin and adrenergic receptors during osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis.

Abstract
Bone remodeling in the adult skeleton facilitates the removal and replacement of damaged and old bone to maintain bone quality. Tight coordination of bone resorption and bone formation during remodeling crucially maintains skeletal mass. Increasing evidence suggests that many cell types beyond osteoclasts and osteoblasts support bone remodeling, including macrophages and other myeloid lineage cells. Herein, we discuss the origin and functions for macrophages in the bone microenvironment, tissue resident macrophages, osteomacs, as well as newly identified osteomorphs that result from osteoclast fission. We also touch on the role of macrophages during inflammatory bone resorption. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Regulation of hematopoiesis is dependent upon interactions between hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and niche components, requiring a highly diverse array of different cell-cell interactions and cell signaling events. The overwhelming diversity of the components that can regulate hematopoiesis, especially when factoring in how the cell surface and intracellular protein expression profiles of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and niche components differ between homeostatic conditions and stressed conditions such as aging and irradiation, can make utilizing techniques like flow cytometry daunting, particularly while examining small cell populations such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Due to the complexity of the hematopoietic system, high-dimensional single-cell genomics and proteomics are constantly performed to understand the heterogeneity and expression profiles within this system. This chapter describes one such single-cell assay, which utilizes mass cytometry Time of Flight (CyTOF) technology to determine differences in expression profile within HSC, using changes in HSC populations due to gender and aging.

Abstract
Insufficient bone matrix formation caused by diabetic chronic inflammation can result in bone nonunion, which is perceived as a worldwide epidemic, with a substantial socioeconomic and public health burden. Macrophages in microenvironment orchestrate the inflammation and launch the process of bone remodeling and repair, but aberrant activation of macrophages can drive drastic inflammatory responses during diabetic bone regeneration. In diabetes mellitus, the proliferation of resident macrophages in bone microenvironment is limited, while enhanced myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leads to increased and constant monocyte recruitment and thus macrophages shift toward the classic pro-inflammatory phenotype, which leads to the deficiency of bone regeneration. In this review, we systematically summarized the anomalous origin of macrophages under diabetic conditions. Moreover, we evaluated the deficit of pro-regeneration macrophages in the diabetic inflammatory microenvironment. Finally, we further discussed the latest developments on strategies based on targeting macrophages to promote diabetic bone regeneration. Briefly, this review aimed to provide a basis for modulating the biological functions of macrophages to accelerate bone regeneration and rescue diabetic fracture healing in the future.

Sex-specific differences in direct osteoclastic versus indirect osteoblastic effects underlay the low bone mass of Pannexin1 deletion in TRAP-expressing cells in mice. Bone Rep 2022; 16:101164. [PMID: 35028339 PMCID: PMC8739454 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Pannexin1 (Panx1) is a hemichannel-forming protein that participates in the communication of cells with the extracellular space. To characterize the role of osteoclastic Panx1 on bone, Panx1fl/fl;TRAP-Cre (Panx1ΔOc) mice were generated, and compared to Panx1fl/fl littermates at 6 weeks of age. Total and femoral BMD was ~20% lower in females and males whereas spinal BMD was lower only in female Panx1ΔOc mice. μCT analyses showed that cortical bone of the femoral mid-diaphysis was not altered in Panx1ΔOc mice. In contrast, cancellous bone in the distal femur and lumbar vertebra was significantly decreased in both female and male Panx1ΔOc mice compared to Panx1fl/fl controls and was associated with higher osteoclast activity in female Panx1ΔOc mice, with no changes in the males. On the other hand, vertebral bone formation was decreased for both sexes, resulting from lower mineral apposition rate in the females and lower mineralizing surface in the males. Consistent with an osteoclastic effect in female Panx1ΔOc mice, osteoclast differentiation with RANKL/M-CSF and osteoclast bone resorbing activity in vitro were higher in female, but not male, Panx1ΔOc mice, compared to Panx1fl/fl littermates. Surprisingly, although Panx1 expression was normal in bone marrow stromal-derived osteoblasts from male and female Panx1ΔOc mice, mineral deposition by male (but not female) Panx1ΔOc osteoblasts was lower than controls, and it was reduced in male Panx1fl/fl osteoblasts when conditioned media prepared from male Panx1ΔOc osteoclast cultures was added to the cell culture media. Thus, deletion of Panx1 in TRAP-expressing cells in female mice leads to low bone mass primarily through a cell autonomous effect in osteoclast activity. In contrast, our evidence suggests that changes in the osteoclast secretome drive reduced osteoblast function in male Panx1ΔOc mice, resulting in low bone mass.

Determination of the physiological range of oxygen tension in bone marrow monocytes using two-photon phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Sci Rep 2022; 12:3497.

Abstract
Oxygen is a key regulator of both development and homeostasis. To study the role of oxygen, a variety of in vitro and ex vivo cell and tissue models have been used in biomedical research. However, because of ambiguity surrounding the level of oxygen that cells experience in vivo, the cellular pathway related to oxygenation state and hypoxia have been inadequately studied in many of these models. Here, we devised a method to determine the oxygen tension in bone marrow monocytes using two-photon phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy with the cell-penetrating phosphorescent probe, BTPDM1. Phosphorescence lifetime imaging revealed the physiological level of oxygen tension in monocytes to be 5.3% in live mice exposed to normal air. When the mice inhaled hypoxic air, the level of oxygen tension in bone marrow monocytes decreased to 2.4%. By performing in vitro cell culture experiment within the physiological range of oxygen tension, hypoxia changed the molecular phenotype of monocytes, leading to enhanced the expression of CD169 and CD206, which are markers of a unique subset of macrophages in bone marrow, osteal macrophages. This current study enables the determination of the physiological range of oxygen tension in bone marrow with spatial resolution at a cellular level and application of this information on oxygen tension in vivo to in vitro assays. Quantifying oxygen tension in tissues can provide invaluable information on metabolism under physiological and pathophyisological conditions. This method will open new avenues for research on oxygen biology.

Abstract
During mechanical force-induced alveolar bone remodeling, macrophage-mediated local inflammation plays a critical role. Yet, the detailed heterogeneity of macrophages is still unknown. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to study the transcriptome heterogeneity of macrophages during alveolar bone remodeling. We identified macrophage subclusters with specific gene expression profiles and functions. CellChat and trajectory analysis revealed a central role of the Ccr2 cluster during development, with the CCL signaling pathway playing a crucial role. We further demonstrated that the Ccr2 cluster modulated bone remodeling associated inflammation through an NF-κB dependent pathway. Blocking CCR2 could significantly reduce the Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) progression. In addition, we confirmed the variation of CCR2+ macrophages in human periodontal tissues. Our findings reveal that mechanical force-induced functional shift of the Ccr2 macrophages cluster mediated by NF-κB pathway, leading to a pro-inflammatory response and bone remodeling. This macrophage cluster may represent a potential target for the manipulation of OTM.

Osteal macrophages support osteoclast-mediated resorption and contribute to bone pathology in a postmenopausal osteoporosis mouse model. J Bone Miner Res 2021; 36:2214-2228. [PMID: 34278602 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Osteal macrophages (osteomacs) support osteoblast function and promote bone anabolism, but their contribution to osteoporosis has not been explored. Although mouse ovariectomy (OVX) models have been repeatedly used, variation in strain, experimental design and assessment modalities have contributed to no single model being confirmed as comprehensively replicating the full gamut of osteoporosis pathological manifestations. We validated an OVX model in adult C3H/HeJ mice and demonstrated that it presents with human postmenopausal osteoporosis features with reduced bone volume in axial and appendicular bone and bone loss in both trabecular and cortical bone including increased cortical porosity. Bone loss was associated with increased osteoclasts on trabecular and endocortical bone and decreased osteoblasts on trabecular bone. Importantly, this OVX model was characterized by delayed fracture healing. Using this validated model, we demonstrated that osteomacs are increased post-OVX on both trabecular and endocortical bone. Dual F4/80 (pan-macrophage marker) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining revealed osteomacs frequently located near TRAP+ osteoclasts and contained TRAP+ intracellular vesicles. Using an in vivo inducible macrophage depletion model that does not simultaneously deplete osteoclasts, we observed that osteomac loss was associated with elevated extracellular TRAP in bone marrow interstitium and increased serum TRAP. Using in vitro high-resolution confocal imaging of mixed osteoclast-macrophage cultures on bone substrate, we observed macrophages juxtaposed to osteoclast basolateral functional secretory domains scavenging degraded bone byproducts. These data demonstrate a role for osteomacs in supporting osteoclastic bone resorption through phagocytosis and sequestration of resorption byproducts. Overall, our data expose a novel role for osteomacs in supporting osteoclast function and provide the first evidence of their involvement in osteoporosis pathogenesis. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).
