Abstract
The coordination of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is essential for bone remodeling. DNA damage inducible script 3 (DDIT3) is an important regulator of bone and participates in cell differentiation, proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis. However, its role in bone remodeling remains unexplored. Here, we found that Ddit3 knockout (Ddit3-KO) enhanced both bone formation and resorption. The increased new bone formation and woven bone resorption, i.e., enhanced bone remodeling capacity, was found to accelerate bone defect healing in Ddit3-KO mice. In vitro experiments showed that DDIT3 inhibited both osteoblast differentiation and Raw264.7 cell differentiation by regulating autophagy. Cell coculture assay showed that Ddit3-KO decreased the ratio of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ ligand (RANKL) to osteoprotegerin (OPG) in osteoblasts, and Ddit3-KO osteoblasts inhibited osteoclast differentiation. Meanwhile, DDIT3 knockdown (DDIT3-sh) increased receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ (RANK) expression in Raw264.7 cells, and DDIT3-sh Raw264.7 cells promoted osteoblast differentiation, whereas, DDIT3 overexpression had the opposite effect. Mechanistically, DDIT3 promoted autophagy partly by increasing ULK1 phosphorylation at serine555 (pULK1-S555) and decreasing ULK1 phosphorylation at serine757 (pULK1-S757) in osteoblasts, thereby inhibiting osteoblast differentiation. DDIT3 inhibited autophagy partly by decreasing pULK1-S555 in Raw264.7 cells, thereby suppressing osteoclastic differentiation. Taken together, our data indicate that DDIT3 is one of the elements regulating bone remodeling and bone healing, which may become a potential target in bone defect treatment.

Abstract
Bone regeneration therapy is clinically important, and targeted regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is important in regenerative medicine. The processing of proteins in the ER controls cell fate. The accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins occurs in pathological states, triggering ER stress. ER stress restores homeostasis through three main mechanisms, including protein kinase-R-like ER kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1ɑ (IRE1ɑ) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, the UPR has both adaptive and apoptotic effects. Modulation of ER stress has therapeutic potential for numerous diseases. Repair of bone defects involves both angiogenesis and bone regeneration. Here, we review the effects of ER stress on osteogenesis and angiogenesis, with emphasis on ER stress under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions, and the use of ER stress inducers or inhibitors to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, we highlight the ability for exosomes to regulate ER stress. Recent advances in the regulation of ER stress mediated osteogenesis and angiogenesis suggest novel therapeutic options for bone defects.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a long-term and complex process influenced by a huge variety of factors. Among these, there is a sex/gender disparity. Based on significant differences observed in the outcome of bone healing in males and females, in the present review, we report the main findings, hypotheses and pitfalls that could lead to these differences. In particular, the role of sex hormones and inflammation has been reported to have a role in the observed less efficient bone healing in females in comparison with that observed in males. In addition, estrogen-induced cellular processes such as autophagic cell cycle impairment and molecular signals suppressing cell cycle progression seem also to play a role in female fracture healing delay. In conclusion, it seems conceivable that a complex framework of events could contribute to the female bias in bone healing, and we suggest that a reappraisal of the compelling factors could contribute to the mitigation of sex/gender disparity and improve bone healing outcomes.

Abstract
DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 (DDIT3), a member of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family, is involved in cellular apoptosis and differentiation. DDIT3 participates in the regulation of adipogenesis and osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. However, the role of DDIT3 in osteoclastogenesis is not yet known. In this study, the involvement of DDIT3 in osteoclast differentiation and function was reported for the first time. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DDIT3 knockout (KO) mice were generated for functional assessment. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining of distal femurs showed increased positive cells in DDIT3 KO mice. DDIT3 expression was downregulated during the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). The loss of DDIT3 increased the expression of osteoclast-specific markers, including nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), TRAP, cathepsin K (CTSK), and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) and promoted the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts. The actin ring number and resorption area of bone slices were also increased in DDIT3 KO BMMs. Lentivirus-mediated DDIT3 overexpression significantly inhibited the osteoclast differentiation of RAW264.7 cells. In the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced osteolysis model, DDIT3 deficiency enhanced osteoclast formation and aggravated bone resorption. DDIT3 inhibited osteoclast differentiation by regulating the C/EBPα-CTSK axis. Furthermore, DDIT3 KO intensified the RANKL-triggered activation of the MAPKs and Akt signaling pathways. Taken together, the results revealed the essential role of DDIT3 in osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo and its close relationship with osteoclast-associated transcription factors and pathways.
