Abstract
Iron overloads osteoporosis mainly occurs to postmenopausal women and people requiring repeated blood transfusions. Iron overload increases the activity of osteoclasts and decreases the activity of osteoblasts, leading to the occurrence of osteoporosis. Conventional treatment options include calcium supplements and iron chelators. However, simple calcium supplementation is not effective, and it does not have a good therapeutic effect. Oxidative stress is one of the triggers for osteoporosis. Therefore, the study focuses on the antioxidant aspect of osteoporosis treatment. The present work revealed that antioxidant carboxymethyl chitosan-based carbon dots (AOCDs) can effectively treat iron overload osteoporosis. More interestingly, the functional modification of AOCDs by doping calcium gluconate (AOCDs:Ca) is superior to the use of any single component. AOCDs:Ca have the dual function of antioxidant and calcium supplement. AOCDs:Ca effectively improve the bioavailability of calcium and achieve ultra-low concentration calcium supplement for the treatment of iron-induced osteoporosis in zebrafish.

Urolithin A suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and postmenopausal osteoporosis by, suppresses inflammation and downstream NF-κB activated pyroptosis pathways. Pharmacol Res 2021; 174:105967.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by decreased trabecular bone volume and microarchitectural deterioration in the medullary cavity. Urolithin A (UA) is a biologically active metabolite generated by the gut microbiota. UA is the measurable product considered the most relevant urolithin as the final metabolic product of polyphenolic compounds. Considering that catabolic effects mediated by the intestinal microbiota are highly involved in pathological bone disorders, exploring the biological influence and molecular mechanisms by which UA alleviates OP is crucial. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of UA administration on OP progression in the context of estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss. The in vivo results indicated that UA effectively reduced ovariectomy-induced systemic bone loss. In vitro, UA suppressed Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand (RANKL)-triggered osteoclastogenesis in a concentration-dependent manner. Signal transduction studies and sequencing analysis showed that UA significantly decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6 and TNF-α) in osteoclasts. Additionally, attenuation of inflammatory signaling cascades inhibited the NF-κB-activated NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, which eventually led to decreased cytoplasmic secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 and reduced expression of pyroptosis markers (NLRP3, GSDMD, and caspase-1). Consistent with this finding, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor (MCC950) was employed to treat OP, and modulation of pyroptosis was found to ameliorate osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) mice, suggesting that UA suppressed osteoclast formation by regulating the inflammatory signal-dependent pyroptosis pathway. Conceivably, UA administration may be a safe and promising therapeutic strategy for osteoclast-related bone diseases such as OP.

Bone formation recovery with gold nanoparticle-induced M2 macrophage polarization in mice. NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2021; 38:102457.

Abstract
The prevention of fractures induced by inflammatory bone disease remains a clinical challenge. This is because of a lack of bone formation to fill in the bone defects, which are believed to be due in part to persistent inflammation caused by the imbalance of M1 over M2 macrophages. In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized to shift the balance of macrophages at the site of bone damage to improve osteanagenesis in a mouse model of LPS-induced inflammatory bone erosion. Specifically, the AuNPs treatment improved bone structure and increased bone mineral density (BMD) by ~14% compared with model group. Macrophages recruited by LPS treatment were reduced by ~11% after AuNPs injection. Compared to LPS treatment only, the percentage of M2 macrophages increased threefold by AuNPs, while the proportion of M1 macrophages decreased by 59%. This promoted the regeneration of bone matrix proteins in the bone defect site, which finally leads to increased bone mass and improved bone structure in model mice. These data suggest that AuNPs could be a novel candidate therapeutic for inflammatory bone disease rather than a drug carrier.

Abstract
Implant-derived wear particles can be phagocytosed by local macrophages, triggering an inflammatory cascade that can drive the activation and recruitment of osteoclasts, thereby inducing peri-prosthetic osteolysis. Efforts to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine release and osteoclastsogenesis thus represent primary approaches to treating and preventing such osteolysis. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a NAD+-dependent deacetylases that control diverse metabolic processes. However, whether SIRT3 could mitigate wear debris-induced osteolysis has not been reported. Herein we explored the impact of the SIRT3 on titanium particle-induced osteolysis. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining revealed that the inhibition of SIRT3 suppressed nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclasts activation in a dose-dependent fashion. Notably, inhibition of SIRT3 also suppressed matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) and nuclear factor of activated T‐cell cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) expression at the mRNA and protein levels, while also inhibiting the mRNA expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), ATPase H+ Transporting V0 Subunit D2 (Atp6v0d2), TRAP and Cathepsin K (CTSK) . In addition, inhibition of SIRT3 suppressed titanium particle-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression and prevented titanium particle-induced osteolysis and bone loss in vivo. This inhibition of osteoclasts differentiation was found to be linked to the downregulation and reduced phosphorylation of JNK and ERK. Taken together, inhibition of SIRT3 may be a potential target for titanium particle-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are capable of adhering the bone matrix, then secrete acid and lytic enzymes to resorb it. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), as a signaling messenger, plays an important role in the receptor activator nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) signal pathway during osteoclast differentiation. Glutathione (GSH) is known to be a powerful antioxidant which can scavenge intracellular ROS. This study aimed to investigate whether GSH can as a protective agent against the RANKL-stimulated osteoclastogenesis by suppressing intracellular ROS. Here, we showed that GSH markedly restricted RNAKL-induced differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) to form osteoclasts. GSH suppressed RANKL-induced ROS generation and subsequent ROS-induced NF-κB signaling pathways within BMMs during osteoclastogenesis. Further, GSH acted to significantly downregulate the osteoclastogenic genes expression of nuclear factor in activated T cells, cytoplasmic1 (NFATc1), C-fos, the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and osteoclast-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor (OSCAR). Our results suggested that GSH inhibits intracellular ROS-mediated NF-κB signal pathway involved in osteoclast differentiation. These findings might form the basis of a new strategy for treating bone disease associated with excessive bone resorption.

Abstract
Overactivation and excessive differentiation of osteoclasts (OCs) has been implicated in the course of bone metabolism-related diseases. Although fullerenol nanoparticles (fNPs) have been suggested to inhibit OC differentiation and OC function in our previous work, systemic studies on the effect of fNPs on bone diseases, e.g., osteoporosis (OP), in vivo remain elusive. Herein, it is demonstrated that fNPs significantly suppress the differentiation of OCs that derived from the murine bone marrow monocytes and inhibit the formation of the sealing zone by blocking the formation and patterning of podosomes in OCs spatiotemporally. In vivo, fNPs are supposed to be an efficient inhibitor of the overactivation of OCs in a LPS-induced bone erosion mouse model. The therapeutic effect of fNPs on osteoporosis is also investigated in an ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis rat model. The well-organized trabecular bone, the reduction in the number of TRAP positive cells, the improvement of bone-associated parameters, and the mechanical properties all demonstrate that fNPs, similar to diphosphonates, can be a promising candidate for the effective treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Hyperactive osteoclasts (OCs) are a fundamental reason for excessive bone resorption and consequent osteoporosis that lead to one-third of the patients sustaining a fracture. OCs, with the help of acidifying vesicles containing vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), transport cytoplasmic protons into a resorptive pit and create an acidic microenvironment where proteolytic enzymes degrade the bone matrix. Here, we report a previously undescribed application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to inhibit excessive bone resorption by regulating the acidic microenvironment in which OCs resorb bone. Internalized AuNPs, with relatively abundant carboxyl groups, eventually accumulate in the membrane of the intracellular vesicles and interact with the V0 domain of V-ATPase, which prevents it from recruiting the V1 domain. This destroys the acid-secretion function of OCs. The therapeutic effect of AuNPs on bone resorption was assessed in an established lipopolysaccharide-induced bone erosion mouse model. Micro-computed tomography, histology, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining showed that AuNPs significantly reduced bone erosion. In summary, AuNPs are promising nano-functional materials for repairing bone defects by regulating OC acid secretion.

Abstract
Currently, cancer continues to afflict humanity. The direct destruction and killing of tumor cells by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy gives rise to many side effects and compromised efficacy. Encouragingly, the rapid development of nanotechnology offers attractive opportunities to revolutionize the current situation of cancer therapy. Metallofullerenol Gd@C82(OH)22, in contrast to chemotherapeutics that directly kill tumor cells, demonstrates anti-tumor behavior with high efficiency and low toxicity by modulating the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, Gd@C82(OH)22 has been recently reported to specifically target cancer stem cells. In this review, we give a concise introduction to the development of the fullerene family and then report the anti-tumor activity of Gd@C82(OH)22 based on its unique physicochemical characteristics, followed by a comprehensive summary of the anti-tumor biological mechanisms which target different components of the tumor microenvironment as well as the biodistribution and toxicity of Gd@C82(OH)22. Finally, we describe Gd@C82(OH)22 as a "particulate medicine" to highlight its distinctions from conventional "molecular medicine", with considerable emphasis on the advantages of nanomedicine. The in-depth investigation of Gd@C82(OH)22 undoubtedly provides a constructive reference for the development of other nanomedicines, especially in the fullerene family. The application of nanotechnology in the medical field definitely provides a promising and favorable future for improving the current status of cancer therapy.
