Abstract
Painful sensitivity of the hand or foot are the most common and debilitating symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Physical therapy is standard treatment for CRPS, but evidence supporting its efficacy is minimal and it can be essentially impossible for CRPS patients to actively exercise the painful limb. Using the well-characterized distal tibial fracture CRPS mouse model, we compared the therapeutic effects of several weeks of daily hindlimb loading versus rotarod walking exercise. The effects of loading and exercise were evaluated by weekly testing of hind-paw withdrawal thresholds to von Frey fibers and radiant heat, as well as measurements of paw and ankle edema. At 6 weeks after fracture, the mice were killed and the ipsilateral femur, spinal cord and L4/5 dorsal root ganglia, and hind-paw skin collected for PCR assays and paw skin Immunohistochemistry evaluation. Hindlimb loading reduced hind-paw von Frey allodynia and heat hyperalgesia and edema within a week and these effects persisted for at least a week after discontinuing treatment. These therapeutic effects of loading exceeded the beneficial effects observed with rotarod walking exercise in fracture mice. Levels of nerve growth factor and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) immunostaining in the hind-paw skin were increased at 6 weeks after fracture, and both loading and exercise treatment reduced increases. Collectively, these results suggest that loading may be an effective and possibly curative treatment in CRPS patients with sensitivity in the affected limb.

Abstract
Orthodontic forces are strongly associated with pain, the primary complaint among patients wearing orthodontic braces. Compared to other side effects of orthodontic treatment, orthodontic pain is often overlooked, with limited clinical management. Orthodontic forces lead to inflammatory responses in the periodontium, which triggers bone remodeling and eventually induces tooth movement. Mechanical forces and subsequent inflammation in the periodontium activate and sensitize periodontal nociceptors and produce orthodontic pain. Nociceptive afferents expressing transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) play central roles in transducing nociceptive signals, leading to transcriptional changes in the trigeminal ganglia. Nociceptive molecules, such as TRPV1, transient receptor potential ankyrin subtype 1, acid-sensing ion channel 3, and the P2X3 receptor, are believed to mediate orthodontic pain. Neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptides and substance P can also regulate orthodontic pain. While periodontal nociceptors transmit nociceptive signals to the brain, they are also known to modulate alveolar bone remodeling in periodontitis. Therefore, periodontal nociceptors and nociceptive molecules may contribute to the modulation of orthodontic tooth movement, which currently remains undetermined. Future studies are needed to better understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying neuroskeletal interactions in orthodontics to improve orthodontic treatment by developing novel methods to reduce pain and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement-thereby achieving "big gains with no pain" in clinical orthodontics.

Abstract
The bone is one of the most commonly affected organs in sickle cell disease (SCD). Repeated ischemia, oxidative stress and inflammation within the bone is largely responsible for promoting bone pain. As more individuals with SCD survive into adulthood, they are likely to experience a synergistic impact of both aging and SCD on their bone health. As bone health deteriorates, bone pain will likely exacerbate. Recent mechanistic and observational studies emphasize an intricate relationship between bone remodeling and the peripheral nervous system. Under pathological conditions, abnormal bone remodeling plays a key role in the propagation of bone pain. In this review, we first summarize mechanisms and burden of select bone complications in SCD. We then discuss processes that contribute to pathological bone pain that have been described in both SCD as well as non-sickle cell animal models. We emphasize the role of bone-nervous system interactions and pitfalls when designing new therapies especially for the sickle cell population. Lastly, we also discuss future basic and translational research in addressing questions about the complex role of stress erythropoiesis and inflammation in the development of SCD bone complications, which may lead to promising therapies and reduce morbidity in this vulnerable population.

J Orthop Sci 2023:S0949-2658(23)00216-6. [PMID: 37596168 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2023.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb immobilization is considered to contribute to limb pain including hyperalgesia. Approximately 50% of patients with such chronic limb pain complain that their abnormal pain worsens after exposure to cold. However, there have been few studies on the relationship between limb immobilization and cold hypersensitivity. The aim of this study was to examine whether limb immobilization induces cold hypersensitivity, and whether physical exercise such as ankle stretching prevents its induction in model mice. METHOD We used forty-four 8-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, consisting of 32 immobilized mice and 12 control mice. The bilateral hind limbs of the mice were immobilized by a thermoplastic cast. After limb-immobilization for 1 week, changes in mechanical, thermal and cold hypersensitivity, and the expression levels of TRPV1, TRPA1, TRPM8, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα in the spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia and the affected hind paw were evaluated in comparison with those in the control mice. In addition, we examined the effect of ankle stretching on the hypersensitivity and expression levels in the limb-immobilized mice. RESULTS Mechanical, thermal and cold hypersensitivity were significantly increased in the limb-immobilized mice. In addition, ankle stretching during the immobilization period significantly prevented the increases in those hypersensitivities. There were no significant differences in the expression levels of TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPM8 among the control, and limb-immobilized mice with and without ankle stretching. The expression levels of IL-1 and IL-6 were significantly increased in the immobilized hind limb paw. Furthermore, ankle stretching significantly prevented the increases in their expression levels. CONCLUSION Limb-immobilization induced cold hypersensitivity as well as mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity, and ankle stretching significantly prevented the hypersensitivity induction in the model mice. It would be of great interest to clarify whether a patient with limb-immobilization experiences cold hypersensitivity and whether ankle stretching might prevent hypersensitivity induction in the future.

Mechanisms of Action of the Peptide Toxins Targeting Human and Rodent Acid-Sensing Ion Channels and Relevance to Their In Vivo Analgesic Effects. Toxins (Basel) 2022; 14:toxins14100709. [PMID: 36287977 PMCID: PMC9612379 DOI: 10.3390/toxins14100709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are voltage-independent H+-gated cation channels largely expressed in the nervous system of rodents and humans. At least six isoforms (ASIC1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3 and 4) associate into homotrimers or heterotrimers to form functional channels with highly pH-dependent gating properties. This review provides an update on the pharmacological profiles of animal peptide toxins targeting ASICs, including PcTx1 from tarantula and related spider toxins, APETx2 and APETx-like peptides from sea anemone, and mambalgin from snake, as well as the dimeric protein snake toxin MitTx that have all been instrumental to understanding the structure and the pH-dependent gating of rodent and human cloned ASICs and to study the physiological and pathological roles of native ASICs in vitro and in vivo. ASICs are expressed all along the pain pathways and the pharmacological data clearly support a role for these channels in pain. ASIC-targeting peptide toxins interfere with ASIC gating by complex and pH-dependent mechanisms sometimes leading to opposite effects. However, these dual pH-dependent effects of ASIC-inhibiting toxins (PcTx1, mambalgin and APETx2) are fully compatible with, and even support, their analgesic effects in vivo, both in the central and the peripheral nervous system, as well as potential effects in humans.

Abstract
AbstractThe field of research on pain originating from various bone diseases is expanding rapidly, with new mechanisms and targets asserting both peripheral and central sites of action. The scope of research is broadening from bone biology to neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, and immunology. In particular, the roles of primary sensory neurons and non-neuronal cells in the peripheral tissues as important targets for bone pain treatment are under extensive investigation in both pre-clinical and clinical settings. An understanding of the peripheral mechanisms underlying pain conditions associated with various bone diseases will aid in the appropriate application and development of optimal strategies for not only managing bone pain symptoms but also improving bone repairing and remodeling, which potentially cures the underlying etiology for long-term functional recovery. In this review, we focus on advances in important preclinical studies of significant bone pain conditions in the past 5 years that indicated new peripheral neuronal and non-neuronal mechanisms, novel targets for potential clinical interventions, and future directions of research.

Abstract
Background Previous studies examined the association between chronic pain (CP) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations; however, the findings obtained were inconsistent. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with the transcriptional activity of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene may influence the association of 25(OH)D levels with CP. We aimed to clarify the association between CP, serum 25(OH)D concentration, and SNPs. Methods In the Shika study, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of 551 participants older than 40 years who were asked whether they had been having persistent pain lasting for at least 3 months in any part of the body on a self-administered questionnaire. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were assessed as a biomarker of the vitamin D status using a radioimmunoassay. rs731236, rs7975232, rs1544410, rs2228570, and rs11568820 were identified using peripheral blood samples, and participants were assigned to those with or without the minor allele for each SNP. Results The prevalence of CP was 37.2%. We observed a tendency for lower 25(OH)D levels in participants with CP than in those without CP in the hetero/minor group of rs11568820, which is a polymorphism within the CDX2-binding site in the 1e promoter region of the VDR gene. Furthermore, a logistic regression analysis revealed that lower serum 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly associated with CP in the hetero/minor group, but not in the major group. Conclusion These results suggest that sufficient serum 25(OH)D concentration reduces the risk of CP in individuals with the minor allele of the CDX2 polymorphism.

Abstract
The Acid Sensing Ion Channel 3 (ASIC3) is a non-selective cation channel that is
activated by acidification, and is known to have a role in regulating
inflammatory pain. It has pro-algesic roles in a range of conditions that
present with bone pain, but the mechanism for this has not yet been
demonstrated. We aimed to determine if ASIC3 is expressed in Aδ and/or C fiber
bone afferent neurons, and to explore its role in the activation and
sensitization of bone afferent neurons after acute inflammation. A combination
of retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry was used to determine expression
of ASIC3 in the soma of bone afferent neurons. A novel, in
vivo, electrophysiological bone-nerve preparation was used to make
recordings of the activity and sensitivity of bone afferent neurons in the
presence of carrageenan-induced inflammation, with and without the selective
ASIC3 inhibitor APET×2. A substantial proportion of bone afferent neurons
express ASIC3, including unmyelinated (neurofilament poor) and small diameter
myelinated (neurofilament rich) neurons that are likely to be C and Aδ nerve
fibers respectively. Electrophysiological recordings revealed that application
of APET×2 to the marrow cavity inhibited carrageenan-induced spontaneous
activity of C and Aδ fiber bone afferent neurons. APET×2 also inhibited
carrageenan-induced sensitization of Aδ and C fiber bone afferent neurons to
mechanical stimulation, but had no effect on the sensitivity of bone afferent
neurons in the absence of inflammation. This evidence supports a role for ASIC3
in the pathogenesis of pain associated with inflammation of the bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathological conditions after skeletal tissue injury such as trauma and surgical intervention are often accompanied with regional osteoporotic changes, which are recognized to be mainly caused by limb immobility after injury. However, the mechanisms for the progression of regional osteoporotic changes related to the injury remains unknown. Previous studies reported that the pathophysiological conditions related to tissue injury include the acidic micro-environment formation and increased ATP levels. In addition, we previously demonstrated that those changes in the micro-environment induced a high bone turnover state through the activation of TRPV1, ASICs and P2X expressed in bone cells. We, therefore, hypothesized that tissue injury could enhance a high bone turnover state due to those pathophysiological changes in soft tissue in the injured limb. The aim of this study was to examine whether soft tissue injury associated with cutaneous incisions in a limb affects regional bone turnover. METHODS Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 J mice underwent soft tissue injury associated with cutaneous incisions in the right femoral skin. During the 14 days after the incision, changes in the expression of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation regulators and ATP were evaluated in comparison with those in uninjured mice. The pain-like behaviors and the expression of those differentiation regulators with and without treatment with bisphosphonate and Cox2 inhibitor were assessed in the injured limb. RESULTS Consistent with the wound healing process, the expression levels of Osterix, osteocalcin and RANKL in the femur of the incised limb were significantly increased up to 7 days, and then decreased to the same level as those in the control limbs by 14 days after the incisions. The levels of TRAP 5b and ATP were initially significantly increased, and then decreased to the same level as before injury by day 14. Bisphosphonate significantly improved the pain-like behaviors in the injured limb associated with the inhibition of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation regulators. CONCLUSION We believe that the pathophysiological changes in soft tissue resulting from cutaneous incisions could be related to the induction of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation regulators.

J Bone Miner Metab 2020; 38:806-818. [PMID: 32656644 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-020-01124-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our previous studies demonstrated that a high bone turnover state under osteoporotic changes decreased the threshold of skeletal pain. Recent studies reported that the incidence of joint pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) in postmenopausal women was higher than that in males even with the same radiographic OA grade. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a high bone turnover state affects the induction of pain-like behaviors in mild OA model mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established mild OA model mice with accompanying osteoporotic changes by monosodium iodoacetate injection after ovariectomy. We assessed pain-like behaviors by von Frey test and paw-flick test; histological changes in OA joints; the expression of Runx2, Osterix, Osteocalcin, and Rankl; bone micro-architecture by μCT and measured serum tartrate-resistant acid-phosphatase 5b levels in the model mice. RESULTS Pain-like behaviors in mice with OA and osteoporotic changes were significantly increased in comparison with those in OA mice without osteoporotic changes. The severity of histological OA changes did not differ significantly between the OA mice with and without osteoporotic changes. Bisphosphonate significantly improved pain-like behaviors accompanied with improvement in the high bone turnover state in the OA mice with osteoporosis, while it had no significant effect on pain-like behaviors in the OA mice without osteoporosis. In addition, the improvement was maintained for more than 4 weeks even after the discontinuation of bisphosphonate treatment. CONCLUSION These results indicated that a high bone turnover state under osteoporotic changes could affect the induction of pain-like behaviors in mild OA model mice.

Abstract
Background Increased bone resorption is driven by augmented osteoclast activity in pathological states of the bone, including osteoporosis, fracture and metastatic bone cancer. Pain is a frequent co‐morbidity in bone pathologies and adequate pain management is necessary for symptomatic relief. Bone cancer is associated with severe skeletal pain and dysregulated bone remodelling, while increased osteoclast activity and bone pain are also observed in osteoporosis and during fracture repair. However, the effects of altered osteoclast activity and bone resorption on nociceptive processing of bone afferents remain unclear. Methods This study investigates whether physiologic osteoclasts and resulting changes in bone resorption can induce skeletal pain. We first assessed correlation between changes in bone microarchitecture (through µCT) and skeletal pain using standardized behavioural phenotyping assays in a mouse model of metastatic bone cancer. We then investigated whether increased activity of physiologic osteoclasts, and the associated bone resorption, is sufficient to induce skeletal pain using mouse models of localized and widespread bone resorption following administration of exogenous receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B ligand (RANKL). Results Our data demonstrates that mice with bone cancer exhibit progressive pain behaviours that correlate with increased bone resorption at the tumour site. Systemic RANKL injections enhance osteoclast activity and associated bone resorption, without producing any changes in motor function or pain behaviours at both early and late timepoints. Conclusion These findings suggest that activation of homeostatic osteoclasts alone is not sufficient to induce skeletal pain in mice. Significance statement The role of osteoclasts in peripheral sensitization of sensory neurones is not fully understood. This study reports on the direct link between oestrogen‐independent osteoclast activation and skeletal pain. Administration of exogenous receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B ligand (RANKL) increases bone resorption, but does not produce pro‐nociceptive changes in behavioural pain thresholds. Our data demonstrates that physiologic osteoclasts are not essential for skeletal pain behaviours.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cold intolerance is defined as abnormal pain resulting from exposure to cold stimulation after trauma. However, the pathophysiology remains unclear. We recently demonstrated that regional osteoporotic changes accompanied by high bone turnover were involved in causing pain-like behaviors in the unloaded hind limbs of tail-suspended mice. Bisphosphonate prevented pain-like behaviors and high bone turnover conditions in tail-suspended mice. The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between regional osteoporotic changes and the induction of hypersensitivity to cold stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The hind limbs of tail-suspended mice were unloaded for 2 weeks. The von Frey test and paw-flick test assessed pain-like behaviors and cold plate test evaluated cold escape behaviors. Furthermore, we examined whether cold hypersensitivity associated with regional osteoporotic changes could be improved by bisphosphonate, TRPV1 and TRPA1 antagonists. RESULTS Hypersensitivity to cold stimulation was induced more noticeably in the tail-suspended mice, and this effect was related to the increased expression of bone metabolism markers. In addition, the cold hypersensitivity was improved by the resumption of weight bearing and prevented by bisphosphonate or a TRPV1 antagonist, and was accompanied with a decrease in the expression of bone metabolism markers. TRPA1 antagonist significantly improved the cold escape behavior, but had no significant effects on the expression of those markers. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that the regional osteoporotic changes accompanying a high bone turnover state could be involved in the induction of hypersensitivity to cold stimulation in the tail-suspended mice.

Abstract
Purpose Chronic pain is one of the most common complications of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Since oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis, we explored whether oxidative stress contributes to postmenopausal osteoporotic pain. Methods Osteoporosis was induced in mice by ovariectomy (OVX). Pain-related behaviours were assessed by measuring sensitivity to mechanical, thermal and cold stimulation. The expression of pain-related transcripts, such acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), was evaluated. Plasma markers of oxidative stress were also measured. In addition, the effects of the reactive oxygen species scavenger phenyl N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) on these parameters were assessed. Results The OVX mice presented hyperalgesia, as demonstrated by decreased paw withdrawal thresholds to mechanical stimulation and withdrawal latencies to thermal and cold stimulation, along with upregulated expression of ASIC3, TRPV1 and CGRP in the dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord and thalamus tissue. OVX elevated the plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs). However, the administration of PBN alleviated these effects. Conclusion Our results indicated that oxidative stress contributes to hyperalgesia in OVX mice. Enhanced oxidative stress may be associated with osteoporotic pain. Antioxidant treatment could help alleviate chronic pain in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
The treatment of pain, in particular, chronic pain, remains a clinical challenge. This is particularly true for pain associated with severe or rare conditions, such as bone cancer pain, vulvodynia, or complex regional pain syndrome. Over the recent years, there is an increasing interest in the potential of bisphosphonates in the treatment of pain, although there are few papers describing antinociceptive and anti-hypersensitizing effects of bisphosphonates in various animal models of pain. There is also increasing evidence for clinical efficacy of bisphosphonates in chronic pain states, although the number of well-controlled studies is still limited. However, the mechanisms underlying the analgesic effects of bisphosphonates are still largely elusive. This review provides an overview of preclinical and clinical studies of bisphosphonates in pain and discusses various pharmacological mechanisms that have been postulated to explain their analgesic effects.

High Expression of Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 2 (ASIC2) in Bone Cells in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:4714279. [PMID: 31531354 PMCID: PMC6720366 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4714279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Revised: 07/11/2019] [Accepted: 07/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Little is known about the function of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) in bone cells or osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF). This study delineated ASICs expression in adult human bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells- (BM-MSC-) derived osteoblasts and in OVF bone cells. Adult BM-MSC-derived osteoblasts were isolated and cultured in different pH values. Osteogenic markers as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OC) mRNA were assessed. Western blots method was applied to analyze ASICs protein expression in different pH values. Amiloride was added into the osteogenic media to analyze the Na+/K+ ATPase change. We harvested the vertebral cancellous bone through a bone biopsy needle in 26 OVF patients when performing percutaneous vertebroplasty. Six vertebral bone specimens obtained from 4 patients with high-energy vertebral fractures were used as the control. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the quantitative mRNA expression of ASICs. Osteogenic markers as ALP, OPN, and OC mRNA were higher expressed in increasing pH values throughout osteoblastogenesis. ASIC proteins were higher expressed in lower pH media, especially ASIC3, and ASIC4. The highest protein expression at days 7, 14, and 21 was ASIC2, ASIC4, and ASIC3, respectively. Expression of Na+/K+ ATPase was significantly decreased in cultured osteoblasts by addition of amiloride into the pH 6.9 osteogenic media. ASIC2 mRNA was most highly expressed with a 65.93-fold increase in the biopsied vertebral bone cells in OVF compared with the control. In conclusion, we found osteoblastogenesis was reduced in an acidic environment, and ASIC2, ASIC3, and ASIC4 were most highly expressed in turn during osteoblastogenesis within acidic media. ASIC2 was the most abundantly expressed gene in human bone cells in OVF compared with the control. ASIC2 could be crucial in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and could serve as a therapeutic target for antiosteoporotic therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease with decreased bone mass and alteration in microarchitecture of bone tissue, and these changes put patients in risk of bone fracture. As a common symptom of osteoporosis and complication of osteoporotic fracture, chronic pain is a headache for clinicians. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), selective COX-2 inhibitors and opioid drugs can temporarily reduce osteoporotic pain but have relevant side effects, such as addiction, tolerability and safety. The review summarized the recent advancements in the study of CB receptors in osteoporosis and osteoporotic pain and related mechanisms. KEY FINDINGS Recent studies indicated the two nociceptive receptors, cannabinoid receptor (CB) and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel, are co-expressed in bone cells and play important role in the metabolism of bone cells, suggesting that dualtargeting these 2 receptors/channel may provide a novel approach for osteoporotic pain. In addition, both CB receptor and TRPV1 channel are found to be expressed in the glial cells which play vital role in mediating inflammation, chronic pain and metabolism of bone cells, suggesting a role of glial cells inosteoporotic pain. SUMMARY Multiple-targeting against glial cells, CB receptors and TRPV1 channel may be one effective therapeutic strategy for osteoporotic pain in the future, following the elucidation of the complicated mechanism.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Produced by Osteoclasts Might Induce Intractable Pain in a Rat Spinal Metastasis Model of Breast Cancer. Spine Surg Relat Res 2019; 3:261-266.

Abstract
Introduction Causes of pain due to spinal metastases have been insufficiently investigated. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were the focus of this study. Both are known as proinflammatory cytokines associated with the pathophysiology of pain syndromes1). It is well known that cancer cells produce these cytokines, but whether osteoclasts produce them as well remains unclear. We hypothesize that osteoclasts produce these cytokines; in other words, pain from spinal metastasis is stronger than pain from the primary tumor. Methods We made a rat spinal metastasis model of breast cancer (metastasis group) and models with a hole in the vertebrae (puncture group) and resected the vertebrae. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was performed to reconfirm that osteoclasts increase in vertebrae with spinal metastasis. We then evaluated TNF-α and IL-6 expression using immunohistochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results The results of TRAP staining showed that osteoclasts increase in metastatic vertebrae. The osteoclasts in the puncture models were TNF-α negative but were TNF-α positive in the metastasis model. The osteoclasts in the puncture models and metastasis model were both IL-6 positive. According to the real-time PCR results, TNF-α in vertebrae increased in the metastasis model, but IL-6 did not increase in the metastasis model compared with in the puncture model. Conclusions The number of osteoclasts is higher in the metastasis model. While TNF in the osteoclasts increased in the spinal metastasis model, IL-6 did not. This probably means that breast cancer affects TNF production in osteoclasts. This increase of TNF-α may lead to pain from spinal metastasis.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that teriparatide, an anti-osteoporosis agent, significantly improves back pain regardless of the presence of vertebral fracture in osteoporosis patients. The aims of this study were to examine whether teriparatide improves pain-like behavior in an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model, and to evaluate changes in osteoclast marker levels and inflammatory cytokine expression levels induced by teriparatide treatment in bone tissue in association with improvements in pain-like behavior. OVX and sham operations were performed in 8-week-old mice, followed by teriparatide treatment for 2 weeks. Pain-like behavior tests (von Frey, paw flick and spontaneous pain test), and the measurement of serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) level and inflammatory cytokine (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) expression levels in the bone tissue were conducted after teriparatide treatment in OVX mice. Pain-like behavior in the von Frey test was significantly improved by teriparatide treatment in OVX mice. With regard to the early phase (within the first 7 days of treatment), teriparatide significantly improved pain-like behavior in the von Frey test, the paw flick test and the spontaneous pain test. Teriparatide significantly inhibited the expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in OVX mice in the early phase of the treatment, while the TRAP5b level in OVX mice was not significantly affected. We demonstrated that the teriparatide-induced rapid improvement effect on pain-like behavior in OVX mice was associated with the downregulation of inflammatory cytokine expression, including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α.

Antagonists to TRPV1, ASICs and P2X have a potential role to prevent the triggering of regional bone metabolic disorder and pain-like behavior in tail-suspended mice. Bone 2018; 110:284-294. [PMID: 29452264 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2018.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2017] [Revised: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 02/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Our recent studies demonstrated that regional bone loss in the unloaded hind limbs of tail-suspended mice triggered pain-like behaviors due to the acidic environment in the bone induced by osteoclast activation. The aims of the present study were to examine whether TRPV1, ASIC and P2X (known as nociceptors) are expressed in bone, and whether the antagonists to those receptors affect the expression of osteoblast and osteoclast regulators, and prevent the triggering of not only pain-like behaviors but also high bone turnover conditions in tail-suspension model mice. The hind limb-unloaded mice were subjected to tail suspension with the hind limbs elevated for 14days. The effects of the TRPV1, ASIC3, P2X2/3 antagonists on pain-like behaviors as assessed by the von Frey test, paw flick test and spontaneous pain scale; the expressions of TRPV1, ASICs, and P2X2 in the bone; and the effects of those antagonists on osteoblast and osteoclast regulators were examined. In addition, we evaluated the preventive effect of continuous treatment with a TRPV1 antagonist on the trigger for pain-like behavior and bone loss in tail-suspended mice. Pain-like behaviors were significantly improved by the treatment with TRPV1, ASIC, P2X antagonists; TRPV1, ASICs and P2X were expressed in the bone tissues; and the antagonists to these receptors down-regulated the expression of osteoblast and osteoclast regulators in tail-suspended mice. In addition, continuous treatment with a TRPV1 antagonist during tail-suspension prevented the induction of pain-like behaviors and regional bone loss in the unloaded hind limbs. We, therefore, believe that those receptor antagonists have a potential role in preventing the triggering of skeletal pain with associated regional bone metabolic disorder.

Cooperative electrogenic proton transport pathways in the plasma membrane of the proton-secreting osteoclast. Pflugers Arch 2018; 470:851-866. [PMID: 29550927 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-018-2137-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2017] [Revised: 02/13/2018] [Accepted: 03/06/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
A proton is a ubiquitous signaling ion. Many transmembrane H+ transport pathways either maintain pH homeostasis or generate acidic compartments. The osteoclast is a bone-resorbing cell, which degrades bone tissues by secreting protons and lysosomal enzymes into the resorption pit. The plasma membrane facing bone tissue (ruffled border), generated partly by fusion of lysosomes, may mimic H+ flux mechanisms regulating acidic vesicles. We identified three electrogenic H+-fluxes in osteoclast plasma membranes-a vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), a voltage-gated proton channel (Hv channel) and an acid-inducible H+-leak-whose electrophysiological profiles and regulation mechanisms differed. V-ATPase and Hv channel, both may have intracellular reservoirs, but the recruitment/internalization is regulated independently. V-ATPase mediates active H+ efflux, acidifying the resorption pit, while acid-inducible H+ leak, activated at an extracellular pH < 5.5, diminishes pit acidification, possibly to protect bone from excess degradation. The two-way H+ flux mechanisms in opposite directions may have advantages in fine regulation of pit pH. Hv channel mediates passive H+ efflux. Although its working ranges are limited, the amount of H+ extrusion is 100 times larger than those of the V-ATPase and may support reactive oxygen species production during osteoclastogenesis. Extracellular Ca2+, H+ and inorganic phosphate, which accumulate in the resorption pit, will either stimulate or inhibit these H+ fluxes. Skeletal integration is disrupted by too much or too less of bone resorption. Diversities in plasma membrane H+ flux pathways, which may co-operate or compete, are essential to adjust osteoclast functions in variable conditions.

Minodronic acid induces morphological changes in osteoclasts at bone resorption sites and reaches a level required for antagonism of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors. J Bone Miner Metab 2018; 36:54-63.

Abstract
Minodronic acid is an aminobisphosphonate that is an antagonist of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors involved in pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the action and distribution of minodronic acid and the potential for P2X2/3 receptor antagonism based on the estimated concentration of minodronic acid. Microlocalization of radiolabeled minodronic acid was examined in the femur of neonatal rats. The bone-binding characteristics of minodronic acid and morphological changes in osteoclasts were analyzed in vitro. The minodronic acid concentration around bone resorption lacunae was predicted based on bone binding and the shape of lacunae. In microautoradiography, radioactive silver grains were abundant in bone-attached osteoclasts and were detected in calcified and ossification zones and in the cytoplasm of osteoclasts but not in the hypertrophic cartilage zone. In an osteoclast culture with 1 µM minodronic acid, 65% of minodronic acid was bound to bone, and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide release was inhibited by 96%. Cultured osteoclasts without minodronic acid treatment formed ruffled borders and bone resorption lacunae and had rich cytoplasm, whereas those treated with 1 µM minodronic acid were not multinucleated, stained densely with toluidine blue, and were detached from the bone surface. In the 1 µM culture, the estimated minodronic acid concentration in resorption lacunae was 880 µM, which is higher than the IC50 for minodronic acid antagonism of P2X2/3 receptors. Thus, inhibition of P2X2/3 receptors around osteoclasts may contribute to the analgesic effect of minodronic acid.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporosis is a pathological state with an unbalanced bone metabolism mainly caused by accelerated osteoporotic osteoclast activity due to a postmenopausal estrogen deficiency, and it causes some kinds of pain, which can be divided into two types: traumatic pain due to a fragility fracture from impaired rigidity, and pain derived from an osteoporotic pathology without evidence of fracture. We aimed to review the concepts of osteoporosis-related pain and its management. Methods We reviewed clinical and basic articles on osteoporosis-related pain, especially with a focus on the mechanism of pain derived from an osteoporotic pathology (i.e., osteoporotic pain) and its pharmacological treatment. Results Osteoporosis-related pain tends to be robust and acute if it is due to fracture or collapse, whereas pathology-related osteoporotic pain is vague and dull. Non-traumatic osteoporotic pain can originate from an undetectable microfracture or structural change such as muscle fatigue in kyphotic patients. Furthermore, basic studies have shown that the osteoporotic state itself is related to pain or hyperalgesia with increased pain-related neuropeptide expression or acid-sensing channels in the local tissue and nervous system. Traditional treatment for osteoporotic pain potentially prevents possible fracture-induced pain by increasing bone mineral density and affecting related mediators such as osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The most common agent for osteoporotic pain management is a bisphosphonate. Other non-osteoporotic analgesic agents such as celecoxib have also been reported to have a suppressive effect on osteoporotic pain. Conclusions Osteoporotic pain has traumatic and non-traumatic factors. Anti-osteoporotic treatments are effective for osteoporotic pain, as they improve bone structure and the condition of the pain-related sensory nervous system. Physicians should always consider these matters when choosing a treatment strategy that would best benefit patients with osteoporotic pain.

Abstract
Pain associated a bony pathology puts a significant burden on individuals, society, and the health-care systems worldwide. Pathology that involves the bone marrow activates sensory nerve terminal endings of peripheral bone marrow nociceptors, and is the likely trigger for pain. This review presents our current understanding of how bone marrow nociceptors are influenced by noxious stimuli presented in pathology associated with bone marrow. A number of ion channels and receptors are emerging as important modulators of the activity of peripheral bone marrow nociceptors. Nerve growth factor (NGF) sequestration has been trialed for the management of inflammatory bone pain (osteoarthritis), and there is significant evidence for interaction of NGF with bone marrow nociceptors. Activation of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 sensitizes bone marrow nociceptors and could contribute to increased sensitivity of patients to noxious stimuli in various bony pathologies. Acid-sensing ion channels sense changes to tissue pH in the bone marrow microenvironment and could be targeted to treat pathology that involves acidosis of the bone marrow. Piezo2 is a mechanically gated ion channel that has recently been reported to be expressed by most myelinated bone marrow nociceptors and might be a target for treatments directed against mechanically induced bone pain. These ion channels and receptors could be useful targets for the development of peripherally acting drugs to treat pain of bony origin.

Abstract
Pathological conditions with refractory skeletal pain are often characterized by regional osteoporotic changes such as transient osteoporosis of the hip, regional migratory osteoporosis, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Our previous study demonstrated that the acidic microenvironment created by osteoclast activation under high bone turnover conditions induced pain-like behaviors in ovariectomized mice through the stimulation of acid-sensing nociceptors. The aim of the present study was to examine whether regional transient osteoporotic changes are related to pain-like behaviors in the hind limb using tail-suspended model mice. The hind limbs of tail-suspended mice were unloaded for 2 weeks, during which time the mice revealed significant regional osteoporotic changes in their hind limbs accompanied by osteoclast activation. In addition, these changes were significantly recovered by the resumption of weight bearing on the hind limbs for 4 weeks. Consistent with the pathological changes in the hind limbs, pain-like behaviors in the mice were induced by tail suspension and recovered by the resumption of weight bearing. Moreover, treatment with bisphosphonate significantly prevented the triggering of the regional osteoporosis and pain-like behaviors, and antagonists of the acid-sensing nociceptors, such as transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 and acid-sensing ion channels, significantly improved the pain-like behaviors in the tail-suspended mice. We, therefore, believe that regional transient osteoporosis due to osteoclast activation might be a trigger for the pain-like behaviors in tail-suspended model mice. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.
