Abstract
Metabolic bone disorders and associated fragility fractures are major causes of disability and mortality worldwide and place an important financial burden on the global health systems. These disorders result from an unbalance between bone anabolic and resorptive processes and are characterized by different pathophysiological mechanisms. Drugs are available to treat bone metabolic pathologies, but they are either poorly effective or associated with undesired side effects that limit their use. The molecular mechanism underlying the most common metabolic bone disorders, and the availability, efficacy, and limitations of therapeutic options currently available are discussed here. A source for the unmet need of novel drugs to treat metabolic bone disorders is marine organisms, which produce natural osteoactive compounds of high pharmaceutical potential. In this review, we have inventoried the marine osteoactive compounds (MOCs) currently identified and spotted the groups of marine organisms with potential for MOC production. Finally, we briefly examine the availability of in vivo screening and validation tools for the study of MOCs.

Patel K, Mangu SR, Sukhdeo SV, Sharan K. Ethanolic extract from the root and leaf of Sida cordifolia promotes osteoblast activity and prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 99:154024. [PMID: 35263671 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sida cordifolia is traditionally found in the Indian system of medicine, well known for its medicinal and nutritional properties among local natives. PURPOSE The present study aims to investigate the osteo-protective effect of root and leaf ethanolic extract of S. cordifolia (RE and LE) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS Antioxidant activity of RE and LE was assessed. Total phenolic and flavonoid content were determined. HPLC profiling of RE and LE was performed to examine the polyphenol content. The effect of RE and LE on osteoblast cells proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and expression of the protein associated with osteogenesis were evaluated using primary calvarial osteoblast culture. Skeletal effects of RE and LE of S. cordifolia were investigated in C57BL/6J ovariectomized mice. Micro CT was employed to evaluate the alteration in trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture. Histology studies were performed on the isolated vertebra. qPCR analysis and western blotting was done to check the key bone markers. RESULTS RE and LE showed a potent antioxidant activity, owing to a notable polyphenol content. Both RE and LE did not alter the cell viability but significantly increased the osteoblast cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. Moreover, they enhanced the mRNA expression of osteogenic genes. Both RE and LE stimulated the activation of ERK, AKT, and CREB. Both RE and LE had no direct effect on osteoclastogenesis, but both increased Opg/Rankl ratio expression in osteoblast cells. Both RE and LE at 750 mg/kg/day significantly improved the trabecular and cortical microarchitecture of femur and tibia by increasing bone mineral density, bone volume fraction, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness, and decreasing trabecular separation and structural model index in ovariectomized mice. Furthermore, vertebral histology of lumbar vertebrae revealed that RE and LE significantly enhance the vertebral bone mass and exert osteo-protective effects by stimulating osteoblast function and inhibiting osteoclast function. CONCLUSION In conclusion, both RE and LE stimulate osteoblast differentiation through activating ERK, AKT, and CREB signalling pathways and indirectly inhibits osteoclast differentiation. RE and LE also improve the trabecular and cortical microarchitecture of ovariectomized mice, making it a promising agent to prevent postmenopausal bone loss.

Regulation and Role of Transcription Factors in Osteogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115445.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue constantly responding to environmental changes such as nutritional and mechanical stress. Bone homeostasis in adult life is maintained through bone remodeling, a controlled and balanced process between bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Osteoblasts secrete matrix, with some being buried within the newly formed bone, and differentiate to osteocytes. During embryogenesis, bones are formed through intramembraneous or endochondral ossification. The former involves a direct differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor to osteoblasts, and the latter is through a cartilage template that is subsequently converted to bone. Advances in lineage tracing, cell sorting, and single-cell transcriptome studies have enabled new discoveries of gene regulation, and new populations of skeletal stem cells in multiple niches, including the cartilage growth plate, chondro-osseous junction, bone, and bone marrow, in embryonic development and postnatal life. Osteoblast differentiation is regulated by a master transcription factor RUNX2 and other factors such as OSX/SP7 and ATF4. Developmental and environmental cues affect the transcriptional activities of osteoblasts from lineage commitment to differentiation at multiple levels, fine-tuned with the involvement of co-factors, microRNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, circadian rhythm, and the microenvironments. In this review, we will discuss these topics in relation to transcriptional controls in osteogenesis.

Bone regenerative potential of the selective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator siponimod: In vitro characterisation using osteoblast and endothelial cells. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 882:173262. [PMID: 32534075 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The repair of critical bone defects remains a significant therapeutic challenge. While the implantation of drug-eluting scaffolds is an option, a drug with the optimal pharmacological properties has not yet been identified. Agents acting at sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors have been considered, but those investigated so far do not discriminate between the five known S1P receptors. This work was undertaken to investigate the potential of the specific S1P1/5 modulator siponimod as a bone regenerative agent, by testing in vitro its effect on cell types critical to the bone regeneration process. hFOB osteoblasts and HUVEC endothelial cells were treated with siponimod and other S1P receptor modulators and investigated for changes in intracellular cyclic AMP content, viability, proliferation, differentiation, attachment and cellular motility. Siponimod showed no effect on the viability and proliferation of osteoblasts and endothelial cells, but increased osteoblast differentiation (as shown by increased alkaline phosphatase activity). Furthermore, siponimod significantly increased endothelial cell motility in scratch and transwell migration assays. These effects on osteoblast differentiation and endothelial cell migration suggest that siponimod may be a potential agent for the stimulation of localised differentiation of osteoblasts in critical bone defects.

Abstract
Background: Thyrotoxicosis increases bone turnover, resulting in net bone loss. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation, via β2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) signaling, also has osteopenic effects. Because thyroid hormones (TH) interact with the SNS to regulate several physiological processes, we hypothesized that this interaction also occurs to regulate bone mass. Previous studies support this hypothesis, as α2-AR knockout (KO) mice are less susceptible to thyrotoxicosis-induced osteopenia. Here, we evaluated whether TH-SNS interactions in bone involve β2-AR signaling. Methods: Thyrotoxicosis was induced in 120-day-old female and male mice with β2-AR gene inactivation (β2-AR-/-) by daily treatment with supraphysiological doses of triiodothyronine (T3) for 12 weeks. The impact of thyrotoxicosis on femoral bone microarchitecture, remodeling, fracture risk, and gene expression of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa-B (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway was evaluated. In addition, the effect of the β2-AR-specific agonist clenbuterol (CL) on cAMP accumulation was determined in osteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cells treated with T3 and/or 17β-estradiol (E2). Results: Thyrotoxicosis negatively affected trabecular bone microarchitecture in wild-type (WT) females, but this effect was milder or nonexistent in β2-AR-/- animals, whereas the opposite was seen in males. T3 treatment increased the femoral RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio and the endosteal perimeter and medullary area of the diaphysis in WT females and males, but not in β2-AR-/- mice, suggesting that T3 promotes endosteal resorption in cortical bone, in a mechanism that involves β2-AR signaling. T3 treatment increased endocortical mineral apposition rate only in WT females but not in β2-AR-/- mice, suggesting that TH also induce bone formation in a β2-AR signaling-dependent mechanism. T3 treatment decreased femoral resistance to fracture only in WT females, but not in KO mice. E2 and CL similarly increased cAMP accumulation in MC3T3-E1 cells; whereas T3 alone had no effect, but it completely blocked E2-stimulated cAMP accumulation, suggesting that some T3 effects on bone may involve E2/cAMP signaling in osteoblasts. Conclusions: These findings sustain the hypothesis that T3 interacts with the SNS to regulate bone morphophysiology in a β2-AR signaling-dependent mechanism. The data also reveal sex as an important modifier of skeletal manifestations of thyrotoxicosis, as well as a modifier of the TH-SNS interactions to control bone microarchitecture, remodeling, and resistance to fracture.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its related peptide (PTH-related peptide 1-34) are two of the Food and Drug Administration-approved bone-promoting drugs for age-related osteoporosis. Treatment with PTH stimulates bone formation. However, the molecular mechanisms of PTH-mediated osteoblast differentiation and cell proliferation are still not completely understood. In this study, we showed that PTH induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in osteoblasts through the PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)-eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (EIF2α)-activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)-signaling pathway. After separately blocking PERK-EIF2α-ATF4 signaling with two different inhibitors [AMG'44 and integrated stress response inhibitor (ISRIB)] or specific small interfering RNA for PERK and ATF4, the following targets were all downregulated: expression of osteoblast differentiation markers [runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (Alp), type I collagen (Col1a1), and osteocalcin (Ocn)], cell proliferation markers (CyclinE, CyclinD, and CDC2), amino acid import (Glyt1), and metabolism-related genes (Asns). Additionally, Alp-positive staining cells, Alp activity, matrix mineralization, Ocn secretion, and cell proliferation indexes were inhibited. Interestingly, we found that salubrinal enhanced PTH-induced osteoblast differentiation and proliferation by maintenance of phosphorylation of EIF2α. Furthermore, we observed that PTH increased the association between heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and PERK and maintained PERK protein stabilization in the early stages of PTH-induced ER stress. Treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with geldanamycin, an HSP90 inhibitor, decreased PERK protein expression and inhibited osteoblast differentiation and cell proliferation upon PTH treatment. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PTH regulates osteoblast differentiation and cell proliferation, partly by activating the HSP90-dependent PERK-EIF2α-ATF4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Hyperparathyroidism, which is increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the blood, could cause delayed or non-union of bone fractures. But, no study has yet demonstrated the effects of excess continuous PTH exposure, such as that seen in hyperparathyroidism, for fracture healing. Continuous human PTH1–34 (teriparatide) infusion using an osmotic pump was performed for stabilized tibial fractures in eight-week-old male mice to determine the relative bone healing process compared with saline treatment. Radiographs and micro-computed tomography showed delayed but increased calcified callus formation in the continuous PTH1–34 infusion group compared with the controls. Histology and quantitative histomorphometry confirmed that continuous PTH1–34 treatment significantly increased the bone callus area at a later time point after fracture, since delayed endochondral ossification occurred. Gene expression analyses showed that PTH1–34 resulted in sustained Col2a1 and reduced Col10a1 expression, consistent with delayed maturation of the cartilage tissue during fracture healing. In contrast, continuous PTH1–34 infusion stimulated the expression of both Bglap and Acp5 through the healing process, in accordance with bone callus formation and remodeling. Mechanical testing showed that continuously administered PTH1–34 increased the maximum load on Day 21 compared with control mice. We concluded that continuous PTH1–34 infusion resulted in a delayed fracture healing process due to delayed callus cell maturation but ultimately increased biomechanical properties.

A peptide containing the receptor binding site of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 enhances bone mass in ovariectomized rats. Bone Res 2018; 6:23. [PMID: 30109160 PMCID: PMC6089876 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-018-0024-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2017] [Revised: 05/31/2018] [Accepted: 06/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Male Igfbp2−/− mice have a significant reduction in bone mass and administration of a peptide that contains the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2(IGFBP-2) receptor-binding domain stimulates bone formation in these animals. Female Igfbp2−/− mice do not have this phenotype but following ovariectomy (OVX) lose more bone than OVX wild-type mice. This suggests that in the absence of estrogen, IGFBP-2 is required to maintain bone mass. Therefore these studies were undertaken to determine if this peptide could stimulate bone acquisition in OVX rats. OVX rats were divided into seven treatment groups: sham animals, OVX animals, OVX animals receiving a control scrambled peptide, or one of three doses of the active peptide termed PEG-HBD-1 (0.7, 2, and 6 mg·kg-1) and an OVX group receiving parathyroid hormone (PTH) (50 µg·kg-1 per day). The peptides were administered for 8 weeks. DXA revealed a significant reduction in femoral and tibial areal bone mineral density (aBMD) after OVX, whereas treatment with the high-dose peptide increased aBMD by 6.2% ± 2.4% (P < 0.01) compared to control peptide; similar to the increase noted with PTH (5.6% ± 3.0%, P < 0.01). Similar increases were noted with two lower doses of the peptide (3.8% ± 1.5%, P < 0.05 for low dose; 3.1% ± 1.6%, P = 0.07 for middle dose). Micro CT showed that the OVX control peptide animals had reductions of 41% and 64% in femoral trabecular BV/TV and trabecular number, respectively. All three doses of the peptide increased bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) significantly, while the low and middle doses increased trabecular number. Cortical BV/TV and thickness at the midshaft increased significantly with each dose of peptide (18.9% ± 9.8%, P < 0.01 and 14.2% ± 7.9%, P < 0.01 for low dose; 23.7% ± 10.7%, P < 0.001 and 15.8% ± 6.1%, P < 0.001 for middle dose; 19.0% ± 6.9%, P < 0.01 and 16.2% ± 9.7%, P < 0.001 for high dose) and with PTH (25.8% ± 9.2%, P < 0.001 and 19.4% ± 8.8%, P < 0.001). Histomorphometry showed that the lowest dose of peptide stimulated BV/TV, trabecular thickness, mineral apposition rate (MAR), bone formation rate/bone surface (BFR/BS), number of osteoblasts/bone perimeter (N.ob/B.pm), and decreased osteoclast surface/bone perimeter (Oc.S/B.Pm). The highest dose stimulated each of these parameters except MAR and BFR/BS. Thus, the heparin-binding domain receptor region of IGFBP-2 accounts for its anabolic activity in bone. Importantly, this peptide enhances bone mass in estrogen-deficient animals. An experimental peptide stimulates bone acquisition in female rats who have had their ovaries removed, raising the prospect a new drug for osteoporosis. IGFBP-2 is an insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein, which regulates the amount of IGF-I and II that are transported out of the blood and are available to influence the growth and proliferation of bone-producing osteoblasts. Previous studies have suggested that IGFBP-2 is required to maintain bone mass in the absence of estrogen, and that a 13 amino acid peptide (HBD1) from the core of the protein could provide a substitute for it. In this study, David Clemmons at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his colleagues demonstrate that injecting the peptide into ovariectomized female rats prompts significant increases in bone mass, whereas control animals lost bone.

Abstract
Mouse double minute 2 (Mdm2) is a multifaceted oncoprotein that is highly regulated with distinct domains capable of cellular transformation. Loss of Mdm2 is embryonically lethal, making it difficult to study in a mouse model without additional genetic alterations. Global overexpression through increased Mdm2 gene copy number (Mdm2Tg ) results in the development of hematopoietic neoplasms and sarcomas in adult animals. In these mice, we found an increase in osteoblastogenesis, differentiation, and a high bone mass phenotype. Since it was difficult to discern the cell lineage that generated this phenotype, we generated osteoblast-specific Mdm2 overexpressing (Mdm2TgOb ) mice in 2 different strains, C57BL/6 and DBA. These mice did not develop malignancies; however, these animals and the MG63 human osteosarcoma cell line with high levels of Mdm2 showed an increase in bone mineralization. Importantly, overexpression of Mdm2 corrected age-related bone loss in mice, providing a role for the proto-oncogenic activity of Mdm2 in bone health of adult animals.

Teriparatide (human PTH 1-34) compensates for impaired fracture healing in COX-2 deficient mice. Bone 2018; 110:150-159. [PMID: 29408411 PMCID: PMC5878736 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2018.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2017] [Revised: 02/01/2018] [Accepted: 02/02/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Genetic ablation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in mice is known to impair fracture healing. To determine if teriparatide (human PTH1-34) can promote healing of Cox-2-deficient fractures, we performed detailed in vivo analyses using a murine stabilized tibia fracture model. Periosteal progenitor cell proliferation as well as bony callus formation was markedly reduced in Cox-2-/- mice at day 10 post-fracture. Remarkably, intermittent PTH1-34 administration increased proliferation of periosteal progenitor cells, restored callus formation on day 7, and enhanced bone formation on days 10, 14 and 21 in Cox-2-deficient mice. PTH1-34 also increased biomechanical torsional properties at days 10 or 14 in all genotypes, consistent with enhanced bony callus formation by radiologic examinations. To determine the effects of intermittent PTH1-34 for callus remodeling, TRAP staining was performed. Intermittent PTH1-34 treatment increased the number of TRAP positive cells per total callus area on day 21 in Cox-2-/- fractures. Taken together, the present findings indicate that intermittent PTH1-34 treatment could compensate for COX-2 deficiency and improve impaired fracture healing in Cox-2-deficient mice.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates the PTH/PTH-related peptide receptor (PTH1R) on osteoblasts and other target cells. Mechanical stimulation of cells, including osteoblasts, causes release of nucleotides such as ATP into the extracellular fluid. In addition to its role as an energy source, ATP serves as an agonist at P2 receptors and an allosteric regulator of many proteins. We investigated the effects of concentrations of extracellular ATP, comparable to those that activate low affinity P2X7 receptors, on PTH1R signaling. Cyclic AMP levels were monitored in real-time using a bioluminescence reporter and β-arrestin recruitment to PTH1R was followed using a complementation-based luminescence assay. ATP markedly enhanced cyclic AMP and β-arrestin signaling as well as downstream activation of CREB. CMP - a nucleotide that lacks a high energy bond and does not activate P2 receptors - mimicked this effect of ATP. Moreover, potentiation was not inhibited by P2 receptor antagonists, including a specific blocker of P2X7. Thus, nucleotide-induced potentiation of signaling pathways was independent of P2 receptor signaling. ATP and CMP reduced the concentration of PTH (1-34) required to produce a half-maximal cyclic AMP or β-arrestin response, with no evident change in maximal receptor activity. Increased potency was similarly apparent with PTH1R agonists PTH (1-14) and PTH-related peptide (1-34). These observations suggest that extracellular nucleotides increase agonist affinity, efficacy or both, and are consistent with modulation of signaling at the level of the receptor or a closely associated protein. Taken together, our findings establish that ATP enhances PTH1R signaling through a heretofore unrecognized allosteric mechanism.

Abstract
A prolonged increase in proinflammatory cytokines is associated with osteoporotic and autoimmune bone loss and, conversely, anti-inflammatory pathways are associated with protection against bone loss. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor (MFG-E)-8 is a glycoprotein that is proresolving, regulates apoptotic cell clearance, and has been linked to autoimmune disease and skeletal homeostasis. The role of MFG-E8 in the young vs. adult skeleton was determined in mice deficient in MFG-E8 (KO). In vivo, trabecular bone was similar in MFG-E8KO and wild-type (WT) mice at 6 and 16 wk, whereas 22 wk adult MFG-E8KO mice displayed significantly reduced trabecular BV/TV. The number of osteoclasts per bone surface was increased in 22-wk MFG-E8 KO vs. WT mice, and recombinant murine MFG-E8 decreased the number and size of osteoclasts in vitro. Adult MFG-E8KO spleen weight:body weight was increased compared with WT, and flow cytometric analysis showed significantly increased myeloid-derived suppressor cells (CD11bhiGR-1+) and neutrophils (CD11bhiLy6G+) in MFG-E8KO bone marrow, suggesting an inflammatory phenotype. PTH-treated MFG-E8KO mice showed a greater anabolic response (+124% BV/TV) than observed in PTH-treated WT mice (+64% BV/TV). These data give insight into the role of MFG-E8 in the adult skeleton and suggest that anabolic PTH may be a valuable therapeutic approach for autoimmune-associated skeletal disease.-Michalski, M.

Abstract
Icariin, a prenylated flavonol glycoside isolated from the herb Epimedium, has been considered as a potential alternative therapy for osteoporosis. Previous research has shown that, unlike other flavonoids, icariin is unlikely to act via the estrogen receptor, but its exact mechanism of action is unknown. In this study, using rat calvarial osteoblast culture and rat bone growth models, we demonstrated that icariin promotes bone formation by activating the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) pathway requiring functional primary cilia of osteoblasts. We found that icariin increases the peak bone mass attained by young rats and promotes the maturation and mineralization of rat calvarial osteoblasts. Icariin activated cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling of the osteoblasts by increasing intracellular cAMP levels and facilitating phosphorylation of both PKA and CREB. Blocking cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling with inhibitors of the cAMP-synthesizing adenylyl cyclase (AC) and PKA inhibitors significantly inhibited the osteogenic effect of icariin in the osteoblasts. Icariin-activated cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling was localized to primary cilia, as indicated by localization of soluble AC and phosphorylated PKA. Furthermore, blocking ciliogenesis via siRNA knockdown of a cilium assembly protein, IFT88, inhibited icariin-induced PKA and CREB phosphorylation and also abolished icariin's osteogenic effect. Finally, several of these outcomes were validated in icariin-treated rats. Together, these results provide new insights into icariin function and its mechanisms of action and strengthen existing ties between cAMP-mediated signaling and osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the only clinically approved osteoanabolic drug for osteoporosis treatment. However, PTH is not established for the treatment of fracture healing, and doses of PTH diverge significantly between different studies. We hypothesized that the effect of PTH on promoting fracture healing and bone formation is dose dependent. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo, mice were treated with PTH (10, 40, and 200 μg/kg) in a closed femoral fracture model. Fracture healing was analyzed after 4 weeks. The fourth lumbar vertebra was analyzed to assess systemic effects. In addition, osteoblasts from calvaria of mice were treated in vitro with PTH doses of 10-5-50 nM, and their differentiation was analyzed after 26 days. RESULTS In vivo, PTH dose-dependently stimulated bone formation in the fracture callus and the vertebral body. However, PTH treatment did not increase biomechanical stiffness of the fractured femora in a dose-dependent manner. The increased bone formation in the 200 μg/kg group was associated with a depletion of osteoclasts, indicating diminished bone remodeling. Of interest, in vitro, we observed diminished mineralization with the highest doses of PTH in osteoblast cultures. CONCLUSIONS PTH dose-dependently stimulates bone formation in vivo. However, during fracture healing, this did not result in a dose-dependent increase of the mechanical stiffness of the fracture callus. Taken together, our in vivo and in vitro data indicate that the dose-dependent effects of PTH during fracture healing are based on the actions on multiple cell types, thereby influencing not only bone formation but also osteoclastic callus remodeling.

Abstract
Since periodontal ligament (PDL) cells exhibit several osteoblastic traits, we hypothesized that human PDL cells will respond to hormonal stimulation in an osteoblast-like manner. Confluent and pre-confluent PDL cells from six patients were challenged with PTH(1-34). Cell number, ALP, osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, and RANKL expression were determined. Intermittent PTH(1-34) treatment of confluent PDL cells caused a significant increase in proliferation, whereas differentiation and osteoprotegerin production decreased significantly. In pre-confluent PDL cells, this treatment regimen induced a biphasic decrease in proliferation, but a biphasic increase in differentiation and osteoprotegerin production. Continuous PTH(1-34) exposure enhanced proliferation but inhibited osteocalcin production in confluent cells and stimulated osteoprotegerin production in pre-confluent PDL cells. RANKL was hardly detectable and unaffected by PTH(1-34) treatment. These results indicate that human PDL cells respond to PTH(1-34) in an osteoblast-like manner, and that the PTH(1-34) effect depends on the maturation state of the cells and on the mode of administration.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) has been used successfully to aid periodontal repair. We sought to elucidate the mechanism of action of EMD and hypothesized that combined exposure to EMD and parathyroid hormone (PTH), which acts anabolicly when administered intermittently, would enhance periodontal ligament cell proliferation, differentiation, and local factor production. Confluent human periodontal ligament cells were exposed to EMD continuously or to PTH(1-34) intermittently, or a combination of both. Cell number, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin, and osteoprotegerin production were determined. Continuous challenge with EMD resulted in an increase of the differentiation parameters and osteoprotegerin production, while simultaneously inhibiting proliferation. Intermittent PTH(1-34) administration exerted opposite effects. Combined administration of EMD and PTH(1-34) weakened or even nullified the effects seen for the agents alone. These results suggest that EMD promotes periodontal ligament cell differentiation and osteoprotegerin production, potentially resulting in a microenvironment supporting periodontal repair, whereas combining EMD and PTH(1-34) failed to prove beneficial in this respect.

Abstract
Sustained exposure to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), as observed in hyperparathyroidism, is catabolic to bone. The increase in the RANKL/OPG ratio in response to continuous PTH, resulting in increased osteoclastogenesis, is well established. However, the effects of prolonged PTH exposure on key regulators of skeletal mineralisation have yet to be investigated. This study sought to examine the temporal expression of PHOSPHO1, TNAP and nSMase2 in mineralising osteoblast-like cell cultures and to investigate the effects of continuous PTH exposure on the expression of these enzymes in vitro. PHOSPHO1, nSMase2 and TNAP expression in cultured MC3T3-C14 cells significantly increased from day 0 to day 10. PTH induced a rapid downregulation of Phospho1 and Smpd3 gene expression in MC3T3-C14 cells and cultured hemi-calvariae. Alpl was differentially regulated by PTH, displaying upregulation in cultured MC3T3-C14 cells and downregulation in hemi-calvariae. PTH was also able to abolish the stimulatory effects of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) on Smpd3 and Phospho1 expression. The effects of PTH on Phospho1 expression were mimicked with the cAMP agonist forskolin and blocked by the PKA inhibitor PKI (5-24), highlighting a role for the cAMP/PKA pathway in this regulation. The potent down-regulation of Phospho1 and Smpd3 in osteoblasts in response to continuous PTH may provide a novel explanation for the catabolic effects on the skeleton of such an exposure. Furthermore, our findings support the hypothesis that PHOSPHO1, nSMase2 and TNAP function cooperatively in the initiation of skeletal mineralisation.

Abstract
Intermittent repeated administration of teriparatide (TPTD) has potent anabolic effects on bones in vivo. However, TPTD has both anabolic and catabolic effects on osteoblasts in vitro, and the mechanisms underlying its promotion of bone formation are unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the time-dependent changes in bone formation and resorption by examining changes in bone turnover markers and bone tissue over time after TPTD administration with low frequency in ovariectomized rats. The amount of serum osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, was transiently reduced after single TPTD administration, but increased thereafter, remaining increased for several days. In contrast, the amount of excreted urinary C-telopeptide, a bone resorption marker, increased transiently after single TPTD administration, and subsequently returned to control levels on the day after administration. Tissue histomorphometric analyses conducted 8 h after administration showed no changes in bone formation or bone resorption parameters. However, at 48 h, the bone formation parameters OS/BS and Ob.S/BS were increased, while the bone resorption parameter ES/BS was decreased. After repeated TPTD administration for 4 weeks, OS/BS, Ob.S/BS, and MS/BS increased, while Oc.S/BS decreased. Serum osteocalcin at 4 weeks after repeated administration was significantly correlated with OS/BS and Ob.S/BS. These present findings indicate that TPTD has dual, time-dependent effects on bone resorption and bone formation. Immediately after single administration, there was transient promotion of bone resorption and suppression of bone formation. However, sustained stimulation of bone formation occurred thereafter. Furthermore, these data suggest that this sustained bone formation led to anabolic effects with repeated TPTD administration.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway has a role in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. We screened 100 plant extracts and identified an extract from Euodia sutchuenensis Dode (ESD) leaf and young branch as an effective activator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. ESD extract increased β-catenin levels and β-catenin nuclear accumulation in murine primary osteoblasts. The ESD extract also increased mRNA levels of osteoblast markers, including RUNX2, BMP2 and COL1A1, and enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in murine primary osteoblasts. Both ESD extract-induced β-catenin increment and ALP activation were abolished by β-catenin knockdown, confirming that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway functions in osteoblast differentiation. ESD extract enhanced terminal osteoblast differentiation as shown by staining with Alizarin Red S and significantly increased murine calvarial bone thickness. This study shows that ESD extract stimulates osteoblast differentiation via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and enhances murine calvarial bone formation ex vivo.

Rozé J, Hoornaert A, Layrolle P. Correlation between primary stability and bone healing of surface treated titanium implants in the femoral epiphyses of rabbits. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2014; 25:1941-1951. [PMID: 24818874 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-014-5231-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2013] [Accepted: 04/28/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the stability and osseointegration of surface treated titanium implants in rabbit femurs. The implants were either grit-blasted and acid-etched (BE Group), calcium phosphate (CaP) coated by using the electrodeposition technique, or had bioactive molecules incorporated into the CaP coatings: either cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or dexamethasone (Dex). Twenty four cylindrical titanium implants (n = 6/group) were inserted bilaterally into the femoral epiphyses of New Zealand White, female, adult rabbits for 4 weeks. Implant stability was measured by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) the day of implantation and 4 weeks later, and correlated to histomorphometric parameters, bone implant contact (BIC) and bone growth around the implants (BS/TS 0.5 mm). The BIC values for the four groups were not significantly different. That said, histology indicated that the CaP coatings improved bone growth around the implants. The incorporation of bioactive molecules (cAMP and Dex) into the CaP coatings did not improve bone growth compared to the BE group. Implant stability quotients (ISQ) increased in each group after 4 weeks of healing but were not significantly different between the groups. A good correlation was observed between ISQ and BS/TS 0.5 mm indicating that RFA is a non-invasive method that can be used to assess the osseointegration of implants. In conclusion, the CaP coating enhanced bone formation around the implants, which was correlated to stability measured by resonance frequency analysis. Furthers studies need to be conducted in order to explore the benefits of incorporating bioactive molecules into the coatings for peri-implant bone healing.

Abstract
Teriparatide significantly increases bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae and femur and has a strong effect in reducing the risk of bone fractures. However, few detailed investigations with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the effects of teriparatide on the radius have been reported; specifically, there are no reports of the use of once-weekly teriparatide. In this study, the effect of once-weekly teriparatide in increasing BMD was examined in the distal 1/10 of the radius and the distal 1/3 of the radius using a DXA system for the radius. In addition, the effect of radius positioning, especially accurate correction of rotation and inclination before and after administration of teriparatide, was evaluated in an assessment of its efficacy. It was found that when positioning was corrected, a significant increase in BMD in the distal 1/10 of the radius was observed after 6 months of once-weekly teriparatide. In the distal 1/3 of the radius, no significant increase of BMD was observed. This suggests that when DXA scans of the radius are analyzed with appropriate positioning, weekly teriparatide significantly increases BMD in the distal 1/10 of the radius, which is rich in cancellous bone.

Profile of changes in bone turnover markers during once-weekly teriparatide administration for 24 weeks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Osteoporos Int 2014; 25:1173-80. [PMID: 24108429 PMCID: PMC3923119 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-013-2516-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2013] [Accepted: 09/04/2013] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
SUMMARY Changes in bone turnover markers with weekly 56.5 μg teriparatide injections for 24 weeks were investigated in women with osteoporosis. Changes in bone turnover markers 24 h after each injection of teriparatide were constant. During the 24 week period, bone formation markers increased and baseline bone resorption marker levels were maintained. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to clarify the changes in bone turnover markers during 24 weeks of once-weekly teriparatide injections in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. METHODS The 24 h changes in pharmacokinetics (PK), calcium metabolism, and bone turnover markers (serum osteocalcin, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), urinary cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX), deoxypiridinoline (DPD)) after each injection of 56.5 μg teriparatide at the data collection weeks (0, 4, 12, and 24 weeks) were investigated. The changes were evaluated by comparison with the data at 0 h in each data collection week. RESULTS Similar 24 h changes in each parameter after injection of teriparatide were observed in each data collection week. Serum calcium increased transiently, and intact PTH decreased 4-8 h after injection; serum calcium subsequently returned to baseline levels. Calcium and intact PTH levels decreased for 24 weeks. Although serum osteocalcin decreased at 24 h, it was significantly increased at 4 weeks. P1NP decreased transiently and then increased significantly at 24 h. P1NP was significantly increased at 4 weeks. Urinary NTX and DPD were significantly increased transiently and then decreased at 24 h. The urinary DPD level decreased significantly at 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Twenty-four hour changes in PK, calcium metabolism, and bone turnover markers showed the same direction and level after once-weekly teriparatide injections for 24 weeks, with no attenuation of the effect over time. After 24 weeks, the bone formation marker, serum osteocalcin, increased significantly, but the serum P1NP, did not. Bone resorption markers decreased or remained the same.

Abstract
The microenvironment of bone marrow, an extraordinarily heterogeneous and dynamic system, is populated by bone and immune cells, and its functional dimension has been at the forefront of recent studies in the field of osteoimmunology. The interaction of both marrow niches supports self-renewal, differentiation, and homing of the hematopoietic stem cells and provides the essential regulatory molecules for osteoblast and osteoclast homeostasis. Impaired signaling within the niches results in a pathological tableau and enhances disease, including osteoporosis and arthritis, or the rejection of hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Discovering the anabolic players that control these mechanisms has become warranted. In this review, we focus on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prostaglandins (PGs), potent molecular mediators, both of which carry out a multitude of functions, particularly in bone lining cells and T cells. These two regulators proved to be promising therapeutic agents when strictly clinical protocols on dose treatments were applied.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-34 has been shown to accelerate fracture healing. Previously, we reported that progenitor cells with osteogenic and chondrogenic potential exist in human fracture haematoma, suggesting that the fracture haematoma-derived progenitor cells (HCs) contribute to fracture healing. However, there has been no study investigating the effect of PTH on HCs. We investigated the effect of pulsatile and continuous PTH treatment on human fracture HCs in vitro. HCs were isolated from seven patients. The HCs were divided into four groups: growth medium; control [osteogenic medium (OM) without PTH]; PTH-C (OM with continuous PTH); and PTH-P (OM with pulsatile PTH) groups. Osteogenic differentiation potential and proliferation of HCs were compared among the four groups. For chondrogenesis, the HCs were divided into two groups: control [chondrogenic medium (CM) without PTH]; and PTH-C (CM with continuous PTH) groups, and chondrogenic differentiation potential was analysed. PTH treatment did not affect cell proliferation, regardless of the mode of administration. Osteogenic activity was also not significantly affected by continuous PTH treatment but significantly inhibited by pulsatile PTH treatment. Conversely, chondrogenic differentiation was significantly inhibited by continuous PTH treatment. Our results revealed that PTH treatment on HCs, either continuous or pulsatile, does not exhibit any positive effect, and indicates that exogenous PTH administration after fracture has no effect on HCs. PTH may not have a positive effect at the fracture site during the early stage of fracture healing in which haematoma formation occurs. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which parathyroid hormone (PTH) produces anemia are unclear. Parathyroid hormone secretion is regulated by the extracellular Ca2+ -sensing receptor. We investigated the effects of ablating PTH on hematological indices and erythrocytes volume regulation in wild-type, PTH-null, and Ca2+ -sensing receptor-null/PTH-null mice. The erythrocyte parameters were measured in whole mouse blood, and volume regulatory systems were determined by plasma membrane K+ fluxes, and osmotic fragility was measured by hemoglobin determination at varying osmolarities. We observed that the absence of PTH significantly increases mean erythrocyte volume and reticulocyte counts, while decreasing erythrocyte counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. These changes were accompanied by increases in erythrocyte cation content, a denser cell population, and increased K+ permeability, which were in part mediated by activation of the K+ /Cl- cotransporter and Gardos channel. In addition we observed that erythrocyte osmotic fragility in PTH-null compared with wild-type mice was enhanced. When Ca2+ -sensing receptor gene was deleted on the background of PTH-null mice, we observed that several of the alterations in erythrocyte parameters of PTH-null mice were largely rescued, particularly those related to erythrocyte volume, K+ fluxes and osmotic fragility, and became similar to those observed in wild-type mice. Our results demonstrate that Ca2+ -sensing receptor and parathyroid hormone are functionally coupled to maintain erythrocyte homeostasis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells capable of differentiating along the osteoblast, adipocyte, and chondrocyte lineages. Regulation of MSCs differentiation may be a useful tool for regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy. The discovery of small molecule that activates the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs could aid in the development of a new anabolic drug for osteoporosis treatment. We identified CW008, a derivative of pyrazole-pyridine, that stimulates osteoblast differentiation of human MSCs and increases bone formation in ovariectomized mice. CW008 promotes osteogenesis by activating cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway and inhibiting leptin secretion. These results suggest that CW008 is an agonist of cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway in osteogenic differentiation and that application of CW008 may be useful for the treatment of bone-related diseases and for the study of bone biology.

Abstract
Enhancement and application of our understanding of skeletal developmental biology is critical to developing tissue engineering approaches to bone repair. We propose that use of the developing embryonic femur as a model to further understand skeletogenesis, and the effects of key differentiation agents, will aid our understanding of the developing bone niche and inform bone reparation. We have used a three-dimensional organotypic culture system of embryonic chick femora to investigate the effects of two key skeletal differentiation agents, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), on bone and cartilage development, using a combination of microcomputed tomography and histological analysis to assess tissue formation and structure, and cellular behavior. Stimulation of embryonic day 11 (E11) organotypic femur cultures with PTH and PTHrP initiated osteogenesis. Bone formation was enhanced, with increased collagen I and STRO-1 expression, and cartilage was reduced, with decreased chondrocyte proliferation, collagen II expression, and glycosaminoglycan levels. This study demonstrates the successful use of organotypic chick femur cultures as a model for bone development, evidenced by the ability of exogenous bioactive molecules to differentially modulate bone and cartilage formation. The organotypic model outlined provides a tool for analyzing key temporal stages of bone and cartilage development, providing a paradigm for translation of bone development to improve scaffolds and skeletal stem cell treatments for skeletal regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) anabolic osteoporosis therapy is intrinsically limited by unknown mechanisms. We previously showed that disabling the transcription factor Nmp4/CIZ in mice expanded this anabolic window while modestly elevating bone resorption. This enhanced bone formation requires a lag period to materialize. Wild-type (WT) and Nmp4-knockout (KO) mice exhibited equivalent PTH-induced increases in bone at 2 weeks of treatment, but by 7 weeks, the null mice showed more new bone. At 3-week treatment, serum osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, peaked in WT mice, but continued to increase in null mice. To determine if 3 weeks is the time when the addition of new bone diverges and to investigate its cellular basis, we treated 10-week-old null and WT animals with human PTH (1-34) (30 μg/kg/day) or vehicle before analyzing femoral trabecular architecture and bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood phenotypic cell profiles. PTH-treated Nmp4-KO mice gained over 2-fold more femoral trabecular bone than WT by 3 weeks. There was no difference between genotypes in BM cellularity or profiles of several blood elements. However, the KO mice exhibited a significant elevation in CFU-F cells, CFU-F(Alk)(Phos+) cells (osteoprogenitors), and a higher percentage of CFU-F(Alk)(Phos+) cells/CFU-F cells consistent with an increase in CD45-/CD146+/CD105+/nestin+ mesenchymal stem cell frequency. Null BM exhibited a 2-fold enhancement in CD8+ T cells known to support osteoprogenitor differentiation and a 1.6-fold increase in CFU-GM colonies (osteoclast progenitors). We propose that Nmp4/CIZ limits the PTH anabolic window by restricting the number of BM stem, progenitor, and blood cells that support anabolic bone remodeling.

Abstract
Progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH) and fibrous dysplasia (FD) are genetic diseases of bone formation at opposite ends of the osteogenic spectrum: imperfect osteogenesis of the skeleton occurs in FD, while heterotopic ossification in skin, subcutaneous fat, and skeletal muscle forms in POH. POH is caused by heterozygous inactivating germline mutations in GNAS, which encodes G-protein subunits regulating the cAMP pathway, while FD is caused by GNAS somatic activating mutations. We used pluripotent mouse ES cells to examine the effects of Gnas dysregulation on osteoblast differentiation. At the earliest stages of osteogenesis, Gnas transcripts Gsα, XLαs and 1A are expressed at low levels and cAMP levels are also low. Inhibition of cAMP signaling (as in POH) by 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine enhanced osteoblast differentiation while conversely, increased cAMP signaling (as in FD), induced by forskolin, inhibited osteoblast differentiation. Notably, increased cAMP was inhibitory for osteogenesis only at early stages after osteogenic induction. Expression of osteogenic and adipogenic markers showed that increased cAMP enhanced adipogenesis and impaired osteoblast differentiation even in the presence of osteogenic factors, supporting cAMP as a critical regulator of osteoblast and adipocyte lineage commitment. Furthermore, increased cAMP signaling decreased BMP pathway signaling, indicating that G protein-cAMP pathway activation (as in FD) inhibits osteoblast differentiation, at least in part by blocking the BMP-Smad pathway, and suggesting that GNAS inactivation as occurs in POH enhances osteoblast differentiation, at least in part by stimulating BMP signaling. These data support that differences in cAMP levels during early stages of cell differentiation regulate cell fate decisions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the association of parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene Bst BI polymorphism, calciotropic hormone levels, and dental fluorosis of children. A case-control study was conducted in two counties (Kaifeng and Tongxu) in Henan Province, China in 2005-2006. Two hundred and twenty-five children were recruited and divided into three groups including dental fluorosis group (DFG), non-dental fluorosis group (NDFG) from high fluoride areas, and control group (CG). Urine fluoride content was determined using fluoride ion selective electrode; PTH Bst BI were genotyped using PCR-RFLP; osteocalcin (OC) and calcitonin (CT) levels in serum were detected using radioimmunoassay. Genotype distributions were BB 85.3% (58/68), Bb 14.7% (10/68) for DFG; BB 77.6% (52/67), Bb 22.4% (15/67) for NDFG; and BB 73.3% (66/90), Bb 27.7% (24/90) for CG. No significant difference of Bst BI genotypes was observed among three groups (P > 0.05). Serum OC and urine fluoride of children were both significantly higher in DFG and NDFG than in CG (P < 0.05, respectively), while a similar situation was not observed between DFG and NDFG in high fluoride areas (P > 0.05). Serum OC level of children with BB genotype was significantly higher compared to those with Bb genotype in high fluoride areas (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference of serum CT or calcium (Ca) was observed. In conclusion, there is no correlation between dental fluorosis and PTH Bst BI polymorphism. Serum OC might be a more sensitive biomarker for detecting early stages of dental fluorosis, and further studies are needed.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling via PTH 1 receptor (PTH1R) involves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP1) dephosphorylates and inactivates MAPKs in osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells. We previously showed that PTH1R activation in differentiated osteoblasts upregulates MKP1 and downregulates pERK1/2-MAPK and cyclin D1. In this study, we evaluated the skeletal phenotype of Mkp1 knockout (KO) mice and the effects of PTH in vivo and in vitro. Microcomputed tomography analysis of proximal tibiae and distal femora from 12-week-old Mkp1 KO female mice revealed osteopenic phenotype with significant reduction (8-46%) in bone parameters compared with wild-type (WT) controls. Histomorphometric analysis showed decreased trabecular bone area in KO females. Levels of serum osteocalcin (OCN) were lower and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) was higher in KO animals. Treatment of neonatal mice with hPTH (1-34) for 3 weeks showed attenuated anabolic responses in the distal femora of KO mice compared with WT mice. Primary osteoblasts derived from KO mice displayed delayed differentiation determined by alkaline phosphatase activity, and reduced expressions of Ocn and Runx2 genes associated with osteoblast maturation and function. Cells from KO females exhibited attenuated PTH response in mineralized nodule formation in vitro. Remarkably, this observation was correlated with decreased PTH response of matrix Gla protein expression. Expressions of pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 were inhibited dramatically by PTH in differentiated osteoblasts from WT mice but much less in osteoblasts from Mkp1 KO mice. In conclusion, MKP1 is important for bone homeostasis, osteoblast differentiation and skeletal responsiveness to PTH.

Abstract
PRIP (phospholipase C-related, but catalytically inactive protein) is a novel protein isolated in this laboratory. PRIP-deficient mice showed increased serum gonadotropins, but decreased gonadal steroid hormones. This imbalance was similar to that for the cause of bone disease, such as osteoporosis. In the present study, therefore, we analyzed mutant mice with special reference to the bone property. We first performed three-dimensional analysis of the femur of female mice. The bone mineral density and trabecular bone volume were higher in mutant mice. We further performed histomorphometrical assay of bone formation parameters: bone formation rate, mineral apposition rate, osteoid thickness, and osteoblast number were up-regulated in the mutant, indicating that increased bone mass is caused by the enhancement of bone formation ability. We then cultured primary cells isolated from calvaria prepared from both genotypes. In mutant mice, osteoblast differentiation, as assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of osteoblast differentiation marker genes, was enhanced. Moreover, we analyzed the phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 in response to bone morphogenetic protein, with longer phosphorylation in the mutant. These results indicate that PRIP is implicated in the negative regulation of bone formation.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells have been associated with the regulation of periodontal repair processes by the differential expression of osteoprotegerin and RANKL in response to intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) resulting in a modified activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Here, we examined the intracellular signaling pathways that PDL cells use to mediate the PTH(1-34) effect on osteoprotegerin production and hypothesized that those would be dependent on the cellular maturation stage. Two stages of confluence served as a model for cellular maturation of 5th passage human PDL cells from six donors. Intermittent PTH(1-34) (10(-12) M) and PTH(1-31), the latter lacking the protein kinase C (PKC) activating domain, induced a significant decrease of osteoprotegerin production in confluent cultures, whereas the signal-specific fragments PTH(3-34) and PTH(7-34), which both are unable to activate protein kinase A (PKA), had no effect. The addition of the PKA inhibitor H8 antagonized the PTH(1-34) effect, whereas the PKC inhibitor RO-32-0432 did not. In pre-confluent, less mature cultures, intermittent PTH(1-34) resulted in a significant increase of osteoprotegerin. Similar results were obtained when PTH(1-31) substituted for PTH(1-34) as opposed to a lack of an effect of PTH(3-34) and PTH(7-34). Likewise, in confluent cultures, H8 inhibited the PTH(1-34) effect in pre-confluent cultures contrasted by RO-32-0432 which had no effect. These findings indicate that PTH(1-34) signaling targeting osteoprotegerin production in PDL cells involves a PKA-dependent pathway. The PTH(1-34) effect is dependent on cell status, whereas intracellular signal transduction is not. Clinical trials will have to prove whether those in vitro data are of physiological relevance for interference strategies.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a potent bone growth stimulator used for osteoporosis treatment. However, the inconvenience of daily administration and side effect of systemic exposure severely limit its use in clinical applications. Local, controlled delivery is a promising approach which can maintain therapeutic concentration locally for a long period. In this study, PTH was incorporated into a biomimetic calcium phosphate (CaP) coating via a coprecipitation process in a modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF). It was found that PTH was successfully incorporated into biomimetic CaP coating on titanium surface with a high incorporation efficiency. The incorporation of PTH into coatings had significantly changed the coating morphology, but the composition of the coating remained unchanged. Localized release of PTH had occurred in vitro, and was accompanied with partial dissolution of CaP coatings. Cell culture study demonstrated that the PTH released from CaP coatings fully retained its bioactivity. It had improved substantially MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation but slightly delayed the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of the cells. In summary, our results have shown that CaP coatings incorporated with PTH may be a promising approach for osteoporosis and other bone-related disease treatment in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effects of co-delivering osteoinductive DNA and/or small interfering RNA in directing the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) using a combinatorial, non-viral gene delivery approach. METHODS hADSCs were transfected using combinations of the following genes: BMP2, siGNAS and siNoggin using poly(β-amino esters) or lipid-like molecules. A total of 15 groups were evaluated by varying DNA doses, timing of treatment, and combinations of signals. All groups were cultured in osteogenic medium for up to 37 days, and outcomes were measured using gene expression, biochemical assays, and histology. RESULTS Biomaterials-mediated gene delivery led to a dose-dependent up-regulation of BMP2 and significant gene silencing of GNAS and Noggin in hADSCs. BMP2 alone slightly up-regulates osteogenic marker expression in hADSCs. In contrast, co-delivery of BMP2 and siGNAS or siNoggin significantly accelerates the hADSC differentiation towards osteogenic differentiation, with marked increase in bone marker expression and mineralization. CONCLUSIONS We report a combinatorial platform for identifying synergistic interactions among multiple genetic signals associated with osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs. Our results suggest that inductive or suppressive genetic switches interact in a complex manner, and highlight the promise of combinatorial approaches towards rapidly identifying optimal signals for promoting desired stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Since bone resorption and formation by continuous and intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatments involve various types of cells in bone, this study examined the underlying mechanism by combining culture systems using mouse primary calvarial osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. The PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R) expression and the cAMP accumulation in response to PTH were increased in accordance with the differentiation of osteoblasts. Osteoclast formation was strongly induced by continuous PTH treatment in the monolayer co-culture of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, which was associated with RANKL expression in differentiated osteoblasts. Bone formation determined by ALP activity and the type I collagen mRNA expression was stimulated by intermittent PTH treatment in the monolayer co-culture and in the bone marrow cell layer of the separated co-culture in a double chamber dish, but not in the culture of bone marrow cells alone. The stimulation in the separated co-culture, accompanied by IGF-I production by osteoblasts, was abolished when bone marrow cells were derived from knockout mice of insulin-receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1-/-) or when osteoblasts were from PTH1R-/- mice. We conclude that differentiated osteoblasts are most likely the direct target of both continuous and intermittent PTH, while bone marrow cells are likely the effector cells. The osteoblasts stimulated by continuous PTH express RANKL which causes osteoclastogenesis from the precursors in bone marrow via cell-to-cell contact, leading to bone resorption; while the osteoblasts stimulated by intermittent PTH secrete IGF-I which activates IRS-1 in osteoblast precursors in bone marrow via a paracrine mechanism, leading to bone formation.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is widely accepted as an anabolic agent when administered intermittently. Here, we explored the influence of intermittent PTH(1-34) on the expression of local factors by human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells that modify osteoclast biology. This approach aimed at a further elucidation of the role of the hormone and of PDL cells in the regulation of periodontal tissue homeostasis and of repair processes. In a co-culture model of mature PDL cells and RAW 264.7 cells, intermittent PTH(1-34) induced an increased gene expression for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (+84%), cathepsin K (+56%), and vitronectin-receptor (+56%); and an enhanced resorptive activity of differentiated osteoclasts (+154%). These findings were correlated with a reduction of the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) ratio in the presence of PTH(1-34; -44%). Similar results were obtained when RAW cells were cultured with the conditioned medium of PTH(1-34)-stimulated PDL cells. In contrast, when less mature PDL cells were co-cultured with RAW cells, PTH(1-34) induced an inhibition of osteoclastic differentiation (TRAP, -35%; cathepsin K, -28%; vitronectin-receptor, -35%), a reduction of the resorbed substrate area (-77%) and an increase of the OPG/RANKL ratio (+11%). The conditioned medium of PTH(1-34)-pretreated less mature PDL cells led to a down-regulation of the number and activity of multinucleated cells. These data indicate that intermittent PTH(1-34) modifies the expression of membrane-bound and secreted factors by PDL cells which then in turn alter osteoclast biology. The PDL cell response to PTH(1-34) is specific in terms of cell maturation and the mechanism involved.

Abstract
Melatonin is known to regulate a variety of physiological processes including control of circadian rhythms, regulation of seasonal reproductive function, regulation of body temperature, free radical scavenging, and so forth. Accumulating evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments has also suggested that melatonin may have an influence on skeletal growth and bone formation. However, little is known about the effects of melatonin on tooth development and growth, which thus remain to be elucidated. This study was performed to examine the possibility that melatonin might exert its influence on tooth development as well as skeletal growth. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that melatonin 1a receptor (Mel1aR) was expressed in secretory ameloblasts, the cells of the stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum, external dental epithelial cells, odontoblasts, and dental sac cells. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis showed that HAT-7, a rat dental epithelial cell line, expressed Mel1aR and its expression levels increased after the cells reached confluence. These results strongly suggest that melatonin may play a physiological role in tooth development/growth by regulating the cellular function of odontogenic cells in tooth germs.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) is known to be an important regulator of chondrocyte differentiation in embryonic growth plates, but little is known of its role in postnatal growth plates. The present study explores the role of PTHrP in regulating postnatal chondrocyte differentiation using a novel in vitro organ culture model based on the ethmoidal growth plate of the cranial base taken from the postnatal day 10 mouse. In vitro the ethmoidal growth plate continued to mineralize and the chondrocytes progressed to hypertrophy, as observed in vivo, but the proliferative zone was not maintained. Treatment with PTHrP inhibited mineralization and reduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the hypertrophic zone in the ethmoidal growth plates grown ex vivo, and also increased the proliferation of non-hypertrophic chondrocytes. In addition, exogenous PTHrP reduced the expression of genes associated with terminal differentiation: type X collagen, Runx2, and ALP, as well as the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PPR). Activation of the protein kinase A pathway using 8-Br-cAMP mimicked some of these pro-proliferative/anti-differentiative effects of PTHrP. PTHrP and PPR were found to be expressed within the ethmoidal growth plate using semi-quantitative PCR, and in other cranial growth plates such as the spheno-occipital and pre-sphenoidal synchondroses. These results provide the first functional evidence that PTHrP regulates proliferation and differentiation within the postnatal, cranial growth plate. J. Cell. Physiol. 219: 688-697, 2009.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the elevation of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and the activation of the protein kinase A regulate BMP-induced osteogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the enhancing effect of cAMP on BMP2 signaling were not completely revealed. In this study we investigated the effect of elevated cAMP level and PKA activation on the BMP2-induced osteoblastic differentiation in pluripotent C2C12 cells. Alkaline phosphatase activity and its mRNA were consistently induced by BMP2 treatment. The pretreatment of C2C12 cells with Forskolin, a cAMP generating agent, dbcAMP, an analogue of cAMP, or IBMX (3-isobutyl 1-methyl xanthine), and a nonspecific inhibitor of phosphodiesterases elicited further activation of alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, elevated intracellular cAMP level increased BMP2-induced MKP1. On the other hand, BMP2-induced Erk phosphorylation (p44/p42) and cell proliferation were suppressed in the presence of cAMP. Thus, cAMP might enhance BMP2-induced osteoblastic differentiation by a MKP1-Erk-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Impaired renal phosphate reabsorption, as measured by dividing the tubular maximal reabsorption of phosphate by the glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR), increases the risks of nephrolithiasis and bone demineralization. Data from animal models suggest that sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) controls renal phosphate transport. We sequenced the NHERF1 gene in 158 patients, 94 of whom had either nephrolithiasis or bone demineralization. We identified three distinct mutations in seven patients with a low TmP/GFR value. No patients with normal TmP/GFR values had mutations. The mutants expressed in cultured renal cells increased the generation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and inhibited phosphate transport. These NHERF1 mutations suggest a previously unrecognized cause of renal phosphate loss in humans.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is strongly involved in the induction of osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal cell precursors, as well as in enhancing bone matrix production by osteoblastic cells. Likewise, the osteoporotic phenotype of PTHrP deficient mice makes clear the importance of this paracrine regulator in bone physiology. Here, we report that BMP-2 rapidly down-regulated PTHrP gene expression through a transcriptional mechanism in pluripotent mesenchymal C2C12 cells, whereas BMP-2 increased expression of PTHrP receptor. PTHrP did not significantly alter the BMP-dependent Smad transcriptional pathway. Similarly, PTHrP did not significantly modify the BMP-regulated expression of RANKL or OPG, cytokines involved in osteoclastogenesis. More importantly, addition of PTHrP, through the PKA signaling pathway, partially prevented the BMP-dependent induction of some osteogenic markers such as Runx2 and Osterix in C2C12 cells. Our data suggest that BMP-2 down-regulation of PTHrP could facilitate terminal differentiation of osteoblasts.

Abstract
PTH is a potent bone anabolic agent in vivo but anabolic effects on osteoblast differentiation in vitro are difficult to demonstrate. This study examined the role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and prostaglandin (PG) production in the effects of PTH on osteoblast differentiation in vitro using marrow stromal cell (MSC) and calvarial osteoblast (COB) cultures from COX-2 knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice. Cells were treated with PTH (10 nM) or vehicle throughout culture. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA levels were measured at days 14 and 21, respectively, and mineralization at day 21. cAMP concentrations were measured in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. PTH did not stimulate differentiation in cultures from WT mice but significantly increased ALP and OCN mRNA expression 6- to 7-fold in KO MSC cultures and 2- to 4-fold in KO COB cultures. PTH also increased mineralization in both KO MSC and COB cultures. Effects in KO cells were mimicked in WT MSC cultures treated with NS-398, an inhibitor of COX-2 activity. PTH increased cAMP concentrations similarly in WT and KO COBs. Differential gene responses to PTH in COX-2 KO COBs relative to WT COBs included greater fold-increases in the cAMP-mediated early response genes, c-fos and Nr4a2; increased IGF-1 mRNA expression; and decreased mRNA expression of MAP kinase phosphatase-1. PTH inhibited SOST mRNA expression 91% in COX-2 KO MSC cultures compared to 67% in WT cultures. We conclude that endogenous PGs inhibit the anabolic responses to PTH in vitro, possibly by desensitizing cAMP pathways.

Abstract
New advances in the pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) change the perspective from which many of its features and treatment are viewed. Calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D have been shown to be important determinants of survival associated with kidney diseases. Now ROD dependent and independent of these factors is linked to survival more than just skeletal frailty. This review focuses on recent discoveries that renal injury impairs skeletal anabolism decreasing the osteoblast compartment of the skeleton and consequent bone formation. This discovery and the discovery that PTH regulates the hematopoietic stem cell niche alters our view of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) from that of a disease to that of a necessary adaptation to renal injury that goes awry. Furthermore, ROD is shown to be an underappreciated factor in the level of the serum phosphorus in CKD. The discovery and the elucidation of the mechanism of hyperphosphatemia as a cardiovascular risk in CKD change the view of ROD. It is now recognized as more than a skeletal disorder, it is an important component of the mortality of CKD that can be treated.

Abstract
Increased bone formation by PTH mainly results from activation of osteoblasts, an effect largely mediated by the cAMP-PKA pathway. Other pathways, however, are likely to be involved in this process. In this study we investigated whether PTH can activate p38 MAPK and the role of this kinase in osteoblastic cells. Bovine PTH(1-34) and forskolin markedly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and doubled osteocalcin (Oc) expression in early differentiating MC3T3-E1 cells. These effects were associated with increase in cellular cAMP and activation of the MAP kinases ERK and p38. Activation of these MAP kinases was detectable after 1 h incubation with 10(-7) M PTH and lasted 1-2 h. Activation of p38 was mimicked by 10 microM forskolin and prevented by H89 suggesting a cAMP-PKA-dependent mechanism of p38 activation. Interestingly, PTH-induced ALP stimulation was dose-dependently inhibited by a specific p38 inhibitor with no change in the generation of cAMP and the production of osteocalcin. Similar inhibitory effect was obtained in cells stably expressing a dominant-negative p38 molecule. Finally, treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with PTH for 3 weeks significantly enhanced matrix mineralization and this effect was markedly reduced by a selective p38 but not a specific MEK inhibitor. In conclusion, data presented in this study indicate that PTH can activate p38 in early differentiating osteoblastic cells. Activation of p38 is cAMP-PKA-dependent and mediates PTH-induced stimulation of ALP which plays a critical role for the calcification of the bone matrix.

Abstract
Sclerostin, the secreted protein product of the SOST gene, which is mainly expressed by osteocytes, has recently been proposed as a negative regulator of bone osteoblastogenesis. Chronic elevation of PTH reduces SOST expression by osteocytes, while controversial results have been obtained by intermittent PTH administration. We have investigated the effects of intermittently administered PTH on SOST expression and sclerostin localization, comparing them with those of controls, as they appeared in three different bone segments of rat tibia: secondary trabecular metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone, and cortical diaphyseal bone. The histomorphometric results demonstrate that PTH enhances bone turnover through anabolic effects, as shown by the association of increased bone resorption variables with a significant rise in BV/TV, Tb.Th and Tb.N and a fall in Tb.Sp. PTH induces a SOST mRNA and protein fall in secondary metaphyseal trabeculae, diaphyseal bone and in epiphyseal trabeculae. Numbers of sclerostin immunopositive osteocytes/mm(2) show no change, compared with controls; there are fewer sclerostin-positive osteocytes in secondary metaphyseal trabeculae than in the other two bone areas, both in the control and PTH groups. The low numbers of sclerostin-positive osteocytes in the metaphyseal trabecular bone seem to be directly related to the fact that this area displays a high remodeling rate. The anabolic effects of PTH are in line with the fall of SOST mRNA and protein in all the three bone segments examined; the rise of bone turnover supports a negative role of SOST in bone formation.

Abstract
In primary calvarial osteoblast cultures derived from transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of 3.6-kb Col1a1 promoter, the emergence of GFP signal marks the transition of multipotential osteoprogenitors into preosteoblasts. Early transient treatment (days 1-7) of these cultures with parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an anabolic effect that is not associated with an increase in total DNA content or cell number in day 21 cultures. In the present study, the effect of early PTH treatment on cell proliferation and apoptosis was examined in greater detail in GFP(+) and GFP(-) cells using flow cytometry. In preconfluent cultures, PTH significantly reduced the proportion of cells in S phase but increased those in G(0)/G(1) and G(2)+M phases in both GFP(+) and GFP(-) subpopulations. PTH decreased apoptosis only in GFP(-) but not GFP(+) cells, indicating an increased survival of GFP(-) cells. In contrast, PTH did not change the amounts of cell proliferation and apoptosis seen in either compartment after these cultures reached confluence. To further assess the effect of early PTH treatment on osteogenic differentiation, secondary cultures of sorted GFP(+) or GFP(-) cells were obtained from day 7 primary cultures that had been treated for 1 wk with PTH. This treatment resulted in larger areas of GFP expression accompanied by increased xylenol orange/von Kossa staining in the secondary cultures of GFP fractions. Early transient PTH treatment appears to enhance the commitment of progenitor cells to an osteogenic fate and results in a higher proportion of cells that achieve full osteoblast differentiation.
