Abstract
Background/purpose Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) regulates bone formation. The concept of guided bone regeneration using a resorbable collagen membrane (RCM) is generally accepted in implant dentistry. This study aimed to investigate the bone healing pattern in rat mandibular bone defects in real-time with and without RCM containing FGF-2 (RCM/FGF-2). Materials and methods Critical-size circular bone defects (4.0 mm diameter) were created on both sides of the rat mandibular bone. The defects were randomly divided into the following groups: control, RCM alone, RCM containing low (0.5 μg) or high (2.0 μg) concentration of FGF-2. We performed real-time in vivo micro-computerized tomography scans at the baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, and measured the volume of newly formed bone (NFB), bone mineral density (BMD) of NFB, and the closure percentage of the NFB area. At 6 weeks, the mandibular specimens were assessed histologically and histomorphometrically to evaluate the area of new bone regeneration. Results Real-time assessment revealed a significant increase in the volume, BMD, and closure percentage of the NFB area in the RCM/FGF-2-treated groups than that in the control and RCM groups. In the H-FGF-2 group, the volume and BMD of NFB exhibited a significant increase at 6 weeks than that at the baseline. Histological evaluation revealed the presence of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and blood vessels within the NFB. Conclusion The real-time in vivo experiment demonstrated that RCM/FGF-2 effectively promoted bone regeneration within the critical-size mandibular defects in rats and verified new bone formation starting in the early postoperative phase.

Bisphosphonate- and statin-induced enhancement of OPG expression and inhibition of CD9, M-CSF, and RANKL expressions via inhibition of the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway and activation of p38MAPK in mouse bone marrow stromal cell line ST2. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2012; 361:219-31.

Abstract
Osteoclast differentiation is influenced by receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and CD9, which are expressed on bone marrow stromal cells and osteoblasts. In addition, osteoprotegerin (OPG) is known as an osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor. In this study, we investigated whether bisphosphonates and statins increase OPG expression and inhibit the expression of CD9, M-CSF, and RANKL in the bone marrow-derived stromal cell line ST2. We found that bisphosphonates and statins enhanced OPG mRNA expression and inhibited the expression of CD9, M-CSF, and RANKL mRNA. Futhermore, bisphosphonates and statins decreased the membrane localization of Ras and phosphorylated ERK1/2, and activated the p38MAPK. This indicates that bisphosphonates and statins enhanced OPG expression, and inhibited the expression of CD9, M-CSF, and RANKL through blocking the Ras/ERK pathway and activating p38MAPK. Accordingly, we believe that its clinical applications will be investigated in the future for the development of osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on root resorption after delayed autotransplantation in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Mandibular second and third premolars of beagle dogs were extracted to create sites for autotransplantation. After 2 months, in the experimental sites the first and fourth mandibular premolars were extracted and air dried before autotransplantation with the application of recombinant FGF-2; the control sites received teeth without FGF-2. At 2, 4, or 8 weeks after surgery, the animals were killed and specimens collected and processed for histologic examination. RESULTS Autotransplantation with FGF-2 yielded formation of new periodontal ligament-like tissues with inserting collagen fibers, associated cementum, and bone. The occurrence of replacement resorption in the FGF-2 treated group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS It was demonstrated that topical application of FGF-2 reduced the occurrence of ankylosis and root resorption after delayed autotransplantation in this experimental model.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a group of at least 25 structurally related peptides that are involved in many biological processes. Some FGFs are active in bone, including FGF-1, FGF-2, and FGF-18, and recent evidence indicates that FGF-8 is osteogenic, particularly in mesenchymal stem cells. In the current study, we found that FGF-8 was expressed in rat primary osteoblasts and in osteoblastic UMR-106 and MC3T3-E1 cells. Both FGF-8a and FGF-8b potently stimulated the proliferation of osteoblastic cells, whereas they inhibited the formation of mineralized bone nodules in long-term cultures of osteoblasts and reduced the levels of osteoblast differentiation markers, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein. FGF-8a induced the phosphorylation of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in osteoblastic cells; however, its mitogenic actions were not blocked by either the MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor U-0126 or the PI 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY-294002. Interestingly, FGF-8a, unlike FGF-8b and other members of the family, inhibited osteoclastogenesis in mouse bone marrow cultures, and this was via a receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG)-independent manner. However, FGF-8a did not affect osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 cells (a macrophage cell line devoid of stromal cells) exogenously stimulated by RANKL, nor did it affect mature osteoclast function as assessed in rat calvarial organ cultures and isolated mature osteoclasts. In summary, we have demonstrated that FGF-8 is active in bone cells, stimulating osteoblast proliferation in a MAPK-independent pathway and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis via a RANKL/OPG-independent mechanism. These data suggest that FGF-8 may have a physiological role in bone acting in an autocrine/paracrine manner.

Abstract
Vascular calcification significantly impairs cardiovascular physiology, and its mechanism is under investigation. Many of the same factors that modulate bone osteogenesis, including cytokines, hormones, and lipids, also modulate vascular calcification, acting through many of the same transcription factors. In some cases, such as for lipids and cytokines, the net effect on calcification is positive in the artery wall and negative in bone. The mechanism for this reciprocal relation is not established. A recent series of reports points to the possibility that two bone regulatory factors, receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and its soluble decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG), govern vascular calcification and may explain the phenomenon. Both RANKL and OPG are widely accepted as the final common pathway for most factors and processes affecting bone resorption. Binding of RANKL to its cognate receptor RANK induces NF-kappaB signaling, which stimulates osteoclastic differentiation in preosteoclasts and induces bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) expression in chondrocytes. A role for RANKL and its receptors in vascular calcification is spported by several findings: a vascular calcification phenotype in mice genetically deficient in OPG; an increase in expression of RANKL, and a decrease in expression of OPG, in calcified arteries; clinical associations between coronary disease and serum OPG and RANKL levels; and RANKL induction of calcification and osteoblastic differentiation in valvular myofibroblasts.

Abstract
Mouse marrow, which contains osteoblast and osteoclast precursors, was grown in the presence of calcitriol and/or basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). RAW 264.7 cells were differentiated into osteoclast-like cells in the presence of receptor activator of NF-kappaB-Ligand (RANK-L) and/or FGF-2. FGF-2 alone supported osteoclastogenesis in mouse marrow cultures, but not by RAW 264.7 cells alone. Although FGF-2 supported low levels of osteoclastogenesis in mouse marrow cultures, it strongly inhibited the high levels of osteoclastogenesis triggered by calcitriol. Adding excess recombinant-RANK-L to the cultures did not relieve this inhibition. After mouse marrow osteoclasts were differentiated, FGF-2 dose-dependently inhibited bone resorptive activity. FGF-2 increased the tendency of RAW 264.7 osteoclast-like cells to fuse into very large giant cells and induced reorganizations of the actin cytoskeleton in mature, RANK-L-induced RAW 264.7 osteoclast-like cells. These results suggest that FGF-2 has both direct and indirect effects on osteoclast formation and bone resorption.

Abstract
Klotho gene mutant mice (klotho mice, also called kl/kl) exhibit osteopetrosis in the metaphysis of femora and tibiae and die within 3 months. We previously showed by semiquantitative RT-PCR that osteoprotegerin (opg) expression levels in klotho mice were about 2-fold higher than those in wild-type mice in the bone marrow, spleen, and lung. To examine whether the high osteoprotegerin expression levels account for the osteopetrotic phenotype in the klotho homozygous mutant mice in vivo, we made double mutant mice by crossing klotho mutant and osteoprotegerin-deficient mice. Micro computed tomography analysis in the two-dimensional sagittal planes of the metaphyses and cross-sections of femoral midshaft revealed that the abnormally high fractional trabecular bone volume in klotho homozygous mice (kl/kl; 29.71%), which was about 4-fold higher compared with that of wild-type [klotho (+/+) opg (+/+)] mice (7.81%), was rescued by the coexistence of heterozygous mutation in opg gene locus (+/-; 8.36%). Single heterozygous mutation in the opg gene locus alone (without klotho mutation) did not show phenotype (trabecular bone volume, 5.84%; not significantly different from wild type). High levels of osteoprotegerin mRNA expression in the bone marrow in klotho mutant mice were reduced by the heterozygous mutation in the opg gene locus. Furthermore, high osteoprotegerin protein levels in klotho mutant mice were also reduced by the heterozygous mutations in opg gene locus. Thus, elevated levels of osteoprotegerin in mutant mice contribute at least in part to reveal the osteopetrotic phenotype in klotho mice.

Abstract
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble receptor for RANKL and therefore a competitive inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation and activity. With this key role in the control of resorptive activity, we found that OPG is a candidate gene for genetic control of bone mass. We examined the promoter and the five exons with surrounding intron sequences of the OPG gene for polymorphisms in 50 normal patients and 50 patients with osteoporosis. We found 12 polymorphisms. Two sets of four and five polymorphisms, respectively, were in complete linkage. Subsequently, we examined the effect of the informative polymorphisms A163-G (promoter), T245-G (promoter), T950-C (promoter), G1181-C (exon 1), and A6890-C (intron 4) on the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures, bone mass, and bone turnover in 268 osteoporotic patients and 327 normal controls. In A163-G the variant allele G was more common among fracture patients: 34.0% versus 26.3% in normal controls (p < 0.05) and the odds ratio (OR) for a vertebral fracture, if an individual has the G allele, was 1.44 (1.00-2.08). In T245-G the variant allele G was more common in osteoporotic patients: 12.4% versus 6.5% (p < 0.02) and the OR for vertebral fracture, if an individual has the G-allele, was 2.00 (1.10-3.62). G1181-C is located in the first exon and causes a shift in the third amino acid from lysine to asparagine. The CC genotype was less common among fracture patients: 26.3% versus 36.7% in the normal controls (p < 0.01). T950-C and A6890-C were not distributed differently among patients with osteoporosis and normal controls. None of the polymorphisms affected bone mineral density (BMD) or biochemical markers of bone turnover in the normal controls. In conclusion, we have examined the human OPG gene for polymorphisms and found 12. The rare alleles of the A163-G and T245-G were significantly more common among patients with vertebral fractures.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are derived from mesenchymal/stromal cells in bone marrow, and gain the ability to support osteoclastogenesis during differentiation though the expression of receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF). However, the properties (differentiation stage and expression of osteoblast marker genes) of stromal or osteoblastic cells that have the capacity to support osteoclast differentiation are unclear. Therefore, we sought to establish and characterize bone marrow-derived stromal cell lines (TSB) from temperature-sensitive SV40 T-antigen transgenic mice to define them at the clonal level. Of the 24 randomly selected cell lines, only 2 cell lines, TSB13 and TSB20, could support osteoclast differentiation in the presence of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). In both cell lines, RANKL mRNA was induced and osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA was decreased in response to treatment with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) for 2 days. Other RNA expression analyses of osteoblast-specific marker genes demonstrated the following characteristics of TSB13 and TSB20: (1) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and type I collagen genes are expressed; (2) osteocalcin and osteopontin genes are expressed at low levels, and their expression levels are upregulated after induction of differentiation by a temperature shift from 33 degrees C to 37 degrees C, or 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. Consequently, the long-term culture of TSB13 and TSB20 cell lines strongly stimulated osteocalcin expression and effectively induced calcified nodule formation in the presence of phosphate. The results suggest that the supportive cells for osteoclastogenesis are restricted to a specialized population of bone marrow stromal cells, and the high ratio of RANKL vs. OPG expression found in this population after 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment might be a general property of osteoclast-supporting cells.
