Abstract
Biodegradable metals, including magnesium, iron, and zinc alloys, have attracted extensive attention due to their good biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, the mechanical properties and corrosion rates of most biodegradable metallic materials have not yet reached the ideal level required for clinical applications. Strontium, as an element of Group IIA in the periodic table of elements, has similar chemical and biological properties to calcium. It can promote bone tissue development and increase bone strength. In addition, strontium can also promote angiogenesis and facilitate the repair of infarcted heart activity. Thus, strontium is commonly used as one of the most alloying elements to improve the in vitro and in vivo properties of biodegradable metals. Besides, strontium is also widely used in various bioactive coatings to improve the comprehensive properties of biodegradable metals. This paper outlines the role of strontium in the human body and summarizes recent research and applications of strontium-containing biodegradable metallic materials. Finally, this paper also provides an outlook on the challenges faced in applying and researching strontium in biodegradable metals.

Cell Instructive Behavior of Composite Scaffolds in a Co-Culture of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:116.

Abstract
The in vitro evaluation of 3D scaffolds for bone tissue engineering in mono-cultures is a common practice; however, it does not represent the native complex nature of bone tissue. Co-cultures of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, without the addition of stimulating agents for monitoring cellular cross-talk, remains a challenge. In this study, a growth factor-free co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) has been established and used for the evaluation of 3D-printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The scaffolds were produced from PLLA/PCL/PHBV polymeric blends, with two composite materials produced through the addition of 2.5% w/v nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) or strontium-substituted nanohydroxyapatite (Sr-nHA). Cell morphology data showed that hPBMCs remained undifferentiated in co-culture, while no obvious differences were observed in the mono- and co-cultures of hBM-MSCs. A significantly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic gene expression was observed in co-culture on Sr-nHA-containing scaffolds. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and osteoclastogenic gene expression displayed significantly suppressed levels in co-culture on Sr-nHA-containing scaffolds. Interestingly, mono-cultures of hPBMCs on Sr-nHA-containing scaffolds indicated a delay in osteoclasts formation, as evidenced from TRAP activity and gene expression, demonstrating that strontium acts as an osteoclastogenesis inhibitor. This co-culture study presents an effective 3D model to evaluate the regenerative capacity of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, thus minimizing time-consuming and costly in vivo experiments.

Abstract
Critical-size bone defects are a common and intractable clinical problem that typically requires filling in with surgical implants to facilitate bone regeneration. Considering the limitations of autologous bone and allogeneic bone in clinical applications, such as secondary damage or immunogenicity, injectable microhydrogels with osteogenic and angiogenic effects have received considerable attention. Herein, polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized strontium alginate/nanohydroxyapatite (Sr-Alg/nHA) composite microhydrogels loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were prepared using microfluidic technology. This composite microhydrogel released strontium ions stably for at least 42 days to promote bone formation. The PDA coating can release VEGF in a controlled manner, effectively promote angiogenesis around bone defects, and provide nutritional support for new bone formation. In in vitro experiments, the composite microhydrogels had good biocompatibility. The PDA coating greatly improves cell adhesion on the composite microhydrogel and provides good controlled release of VEGF. Therefore, this composite microhydrogel effectively promotes osteogenic differentiation and vascularization. In in vivo experiments, composite microhydrogels were injected into critical-size bone defects in the skull of rats, and they were shown by microcomputed tomography and tissue sections to be effective in promoting bone regeneration. These findings demonstrated that this novel microhydrogel effectively promotes bone formation and angiogenesis at the site of bone defects.

Saos-2 cells cultured under hypoxia rapidly differentiate to an osteocyte-like stage and support intracellular infection by Staphylococcus aureus. Physiol Rep 2023; 11:e15851.

Abstract
The intracellular infection of osteocytes represents a clinically important aspect of osteomyelitis. However, few human osteocyte in vitro models exist and the differentiation of immature osteoblasts to an osteocyte stage typically takes at least 4-weeks of culture, making the study of this process challenging and time consuming. The osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2 has proved to be a useful model of human osteoblast to mature osteocyte differentiation. Culture under osteogenic conditions in a standard normoxic (21% O2 ) atmosphere results in reproducible mineralization and acquisition of mature osteocyte markers over the expected 28-35 day culture period. In order to expedite experimental assays, we tested whether reducing available oxygen to mimic concentrations experienced by osteocytes in vivo would increase the rate of differentiation. Cells cultured under 1% O2 exhibited maximal mineral deposition by 14 days. Early (COLA1, MEPE) and mature (PHEX, DMP1, GJA1, SOST) osteocyte markers were upregulated earlier under hypoxia compared to normoxia. Cells differentiated under 1% O2 for 14 days displayed a similar ability to internalize Staphylococcus aureus as day 28 cells grown under normoxic conditions. Thus, low oxygen accelerates Saos-2 osteocyte differentiation, resulting in a useful human osteocyte-like cell model within 14 days.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1167734. [PMID: 37223031 PMCID: PMC10200954 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1167734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction For decades, functional primary human osteocyte cultures have been crucially needed for understanding their role in bone anabolic processes and in endocrine phosphate regulation via the bone-kidney axis. Mature osteocyte proteins (sclerostin, DMP1, Phex and FGF23) play a key role in various systemic diseases and are targeted by successful bone anabolic drugs (anti-sclerostin antibody and teriparatide (PTH1-34)). However, cell lines available to study osteocytes produce very little sclerostin and low levels of mature osteocyte markers. We have developed a primary human 3D organotypic culture system that replicates the formation of mature osteocytes in bone. Methods Primary human osteoblasts were seeded in a fibrinogen / thrombin gel around 3D-printed hanging posts. Following contraction of the gel around the posts, cells were cultured in osteogenic media and conditioned media was collected for analysis of secreted markers of osteocyte formation. Results The organoids were viable for at least 6 months, allowing co-culture with different cell types and testing of bone anabolic drugs. Bulk RNAseq data displayed the developing marker trajectory of ossification and human primary osteocyte formation in vitro over an initial 8- week period. Vitamin D3 supplementation increased mineralization and sclerostin secretion, while hypoxia and PTH1-34 modulated sclerostin. Our culture system also secreted FGF23, enabling the future development of a bone-kidney-parathyroid-vascular multi-organoid or organ-on-a-chip system to study disease processes and drug effects using purely human cells. Discussion This 3D organotypic culture system provides a stable, long-lived, and regulated population of mature human primary osteocytes for a variety of research applications.

Abstract
The present work reports the effect of decellularized platelet-rich fibrin (dPRF) loaded strontium (Sr) doped porous magnesium phosphate (MgP) bioceramics on biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bone regeneration. Sustained release of growth factors from dPRF is a major objective here, which conformed to the availability of dPRF on the scaffold surface even after 7 days of in vitro degradation. dPRF-incorporated MgP scaffolds were implanted in the rabbit femoral bone defect and bone rejuvenation was confirmed by radiological examination, histological examination, fluorochrome labeling study, and micro-CT. μ-CT examination of the regained bone samples exhibited that invasion of mature bone in the pores of the MgP2Sr-dPRF sample was higher than the MgP2Sr which indicated better bone maturation capability of this composition. Quantifiable assessment using oxytetracycline labeling showed 73.55 ± 1.12% new osseous tissue regeneration for MgP2Sr-dPRF samples in contrast to 65.47 ± 1.16% for pure MgP2Sr samples, after 3 months of implantation. Histological analysis depicted the presence of abundant osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells in dPRF-loaded Sr-doped MgP samples as compared to other samples. Radiological studies also mimicked similar results in the MgP2Sr-dPRF group with intact periosteal lining and significant bridging callus formation. The present results indicated that dPRF-loaded Sr-doped magnesium phosphate bioceramics have good biocompatibility, bone-forming ability, and suitable biodegradability in bone regeneration.

Abstract
An in vitro bone triple culture involving human primary osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts enables the investigation of bone healing factors, drugs or biomaterials in a model system for native bone tissue. The present study analyses the impact of Sr2+ as well as hypoxic cultivation (5% O2 content or chemically induced by Co2+) on bone cells. The three cell types were cultivated together in the presence of 100 µM Sr2+, hypoxic conditions or in the presence of 75 µM Co2+. After cultivation the cell types were separated and analysed on mRNA and protein level individually. In response to Sr2+ osteoblasts showed a downregulation of IBSP expression and a stimulation of ALP activity. Osteocyte gene marker expression of PDPN, MEPE, RANKL, OPG, osteocalcin and likewise the amount of secreted osteocalcin was reduced in the presence of Sr2+. Activity of osteoclast-specific enzymes TRAP and CAII was enhanced compared to the Sr2+ free control. Hypoxic conditions induced by both 5% O2 or a Co2+ treatment led to decreased DNA content of all bone cells and downregulated expression of osteoblast markers ALPL and IBSP as well as osteocyte markers PDPN, RANKL and OPG. In addition, Co2+ induced hypoxia decreased gene and protein expression of osteocalcin in osteocytes. In response to the Co2+ treatment, the TRAP gene expression and activity was increased. This study is the first to analyse the effects of Sr2+ or hypoxia on triple cultures with primary human bone cells. The investigated in vitro bone model might be suitable to reduce animal experiments in early stages of biomaterial and drug development.

Abstract
A ranelate ion, an old antiosteoporotic drug, readily reacts with gold(III) ions generating stable gold nanoparticles (AuNP@Ran). The reaction proceeds rapidly under green conditions and is specific for gold ions at room temperature. Their characteristic color associated with the plasmonic resonance effects allows its use in colorimetric/spectrophotometric analysis, as well as in spot test assays. In addition to the color changes, the gold nanoparticles exhibit surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), providing another interesting route for the analytical detection of gold ions. Because of the great simplicity, the ranelate method can be very convenient for monitoring gold ions, especially in metal extraction and hydrometallurgical processes.

Abstract
To improve osseointegration caused by the stress-shielding effect and the inert nature of titanium-based alloys, in this work, we successfully constructed a strontium calcium phosphate (Sr-CaP) coating on three-dimensional (3D)-printed Ti6Al4V scaffolds to address this issue. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the coatings with and without Sr doping mainly consisted of CaHPO4. The bonding strength of Sr doping coating met the required ISO 13 779-4-2018 standard (≥15 MPa). The in vitro results suggested that the Sr-CaP-modified Ti6Al4V scaffolds were found to effectively promote mice bone-marrow stem cell (mBMSC) adhesion, spreading, and osteogenesis. The in vivo experiments also showed that the Sr-CaP-modified Ti6Al4V scaffolds could significantly improve bone regeneration and osseointegration. More importantly, Sr-doped CaP-coated Ti6Al4V scaffolds were found to accelerate bone healing in comparison to CaP-coated Ti6Al4V scaffolds. The Sr-CaP-modified Ti6Al4V scaffolds are considered a promising strategy to develop bioactive surfaces for enhancing the osseointegration between the implant and bone tissue.

[PMID: 35239157 DOI: 10.1007/s40204-022-00182-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Medical application materials must meet multiple requirements, and the designed implant must mimic the bone structure in shape and support the formation of bone tissue (osteogenesis). Magnesium (Mg) alloys, as a "smart" biodegradable material and as "the green engineering material in the twenty-first century", have become an outstanding bone implant material due to their natural degradability, smart biocompatibility, and desirable mechanical properties. Magnesium is recognised as the next generation of orthopaedic appliances and bioresorbable scaffolds. At the same time, improving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is an urgent challenge to promote the application of magnesium alloys. Nevertheless, the excessively quick deterioration rate generally results in premature mechanical integrity disintegration and local hydrogen build-up, resulting in restricted clinical bone restoration applicability. The condition of Mg bone implants is thoroughly examined in this study. The relevant approaches to boost the corrosion resistance, including purification, alloying treatment, surface coating, and Mg-based metal matrix composite, are comprehensively revealed. These characteristics are reviewed to assess the progress of contemporary Mg-based biocomposites and alloys for biomedical applications. The fabricating techniques for Mg bone implants also are thoroughly investigated. Notably, laser-based additive manufacturing fabricates customised forms and complicated porous structures based on its distinctive additive manufacturing conception. Because of its high laser energy density and strong controllability, it is capable of fast heating and cooling, allowing it to modify the microstructure and performance. This review paper aims to provide more insight on the present challenges and continued research on Mg bone implants, highlighting some of the most important characteristics, challenges, and strategies for improving Mg bone implants.

Abstract
Strontium (Sr) is a trace element taken with nutrition and found in bone in close connection to native hydroxyapatite. Sr is involved in a dual mechanism of coupling the stimulation of bone formation with the inhibition of bone resorption, as reported in the literature. Interest in studying Sr has increased in the last decades due to the development of strontium ranelate (SrRan), an orally active agent acting as an anti-osteoporosis drug. However, the use of SrRan was subjected to some limitations starting from 2014 due to its negative side effects on the cardiac safety of patients. In this scenario, an interesting perspective for the administration of Sr is the introduction of Sr ions in biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications. This strategy has attracted attention thanks to its positive effects on bone formation, alongside the reduction of osteoclast activity, proven by in vitro and in vivo studies. The purpose of this review is to go through the classes of biomaterials most commonly used in BTE and functionalized with Sr, i.e., calcium phosphate ceramics, bioactive glasses, metal-based materials, and polymers. The works discussed in this review were selected as representative for each type of the above-mentioned categories, and the biological evaluation in vitro and/or in vivo was the main criterion for selection. The encouraging results collected from the in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations are outlined to highlight the potential applications of materials’ functionalization with Sr as an osteopromoting dopant in BTE.

Abstract
Infection in bone transplantation process is attracting considerable attention. The current study synthesizes silver/strontium co-substituted hydroxyapatite (Ag/Sr-HA) nanoparticles with combined osteogenic and antibacterial activities. Different concentrations of silver-substituted hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and then their physicochemical properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Then, Sr was added as secondary element into Ag-HA to improve the biocompatibility of substrate. The antibacterial experiments indicated that Ag-HA had excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The effects of prepared samples on cell proliferation and differentiation were evaluated using MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. The results showed that Sr substitution enhanced cell proliferation and differentiation, upregulated expression of osteogenic genes, and induced mineralization of cells. The substitution of Sr in Ag/Sr-HA nanoparticles can effectively alleviate the negative effects of Ag and enhance the biological activity of HA. Thus, the synthesized Ag/Sr-HA nanoparticles will serve as a potential candidate for application of biomedical implants with excellent osteogenic and antibacterial ability.

Abstract
trans-2-Amino-4-aryl-5-benzoyl-4,5-dihydrothiophene-3-carbonitriles were prepared either by the reaction of 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamides with α-thiocyanatoacetophenone or by the Michael-type addition of cyanothioacetamide to α-bromochalcones followed by intramolecular cyclization. The mechanism of the first reaction was studied using high-level quantum chemical calculations. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were carried out to determine the mechanism of the first reaction. A new approach toward the construction of the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine core system was demonstrated by the reaction of the prepared dihydrothiophenes with HCHO and RNH2 under noncatalyzed Mannich conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of physical exercise (EXE), strontium ranelate (SR), or their combination on bone status in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. DESIGN Sixty female Wistar rats were randomized to one of five groups: sham (Sh), OVX (O), OVX+EXE (OE), OVX+SR (OSR), and OVX+EXE+SR (OESR). Animals in EXE groups were subjected to 10 drops per day (45 cm in height); rats in SR groups received 625 mg/kg/day of SR, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)), mechanical strength of the left femur (three-point bending test), and femur microarchitecture of (micro-computed tomography imaging, microCT) analyses were performed to characterize biomechanical and trabecular/cortical structure. Bone remodeling, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content were evaluated by ELISA and immunofluorescence tests. RESULTS In OVX rats, whole-body BMD, trabecular parameters, and osteocalcin (OCN) levels decreased, while weight, lean/fat mass, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content all increased. EXE after ovariectomy improved BMD and BMC, trabecular parameters, cross-sectional area (CSA), moment of inertia, and OCN levels while decreasing osteocyte apoptosis and lipid content. SR treatment increased BMD and BMC, trabecular parameters, CSA, stiffness, OCN, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. Furthermore, fat mass, N-telopeptide (NTX) level, osteocyte apoptosis, and lipid content significantly decreased. The combination of both EXE and SR improved bone parameters compared with EXE or SR alone. CONCLUSION EXE and SR had positive and synergistic effects on bone formation and resorption.

Abstract
Bone is composed of dense and solid cortical bone and honeycomb-like trabecular bone. Although cortical bone provides the majority of mechanical strength for a bone, there are few studies focusing on cortical bone repair or regeneration. Osteons (the Haversian system) form structural and functional units of cortical bone. In recent years, emerging evidences have shown that the osteon structure (including osteocytes, lamellae, lacunocanalicular network, and Haversian canals) plays critical roles in bone mechanics and turnover. Therefore, reconstruction of the osteon structure is crucial for cortical bone regeneration. This article provides a systematic summary of recent advances in osteons, including the structure, function, turnover, and regenerative strategies. First, the hierarchical structure of osteons is illustrated and the critical functions of osteons in bone dynamics are introduced. Next, the modeling and remodeling processes of osteons at a cellular level and the turnover of osteons in response to mechanical loading and aging are emphasized. Furthermore, several bioengineering approaches that were recently developed to recapitulate the osteon structure are highlighted. Impact statement This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in osteons, especially the roles in bone formation, remodeling, and regeneration. Besides introducing the hierarchical structure and critical functions of osteons, we elucidate the modeling and remodeling of osteons at a cellular level. Specifically, we highlight the bioengineering approaches that were recently developed to mimic the hierarchical structure of osteons. We expect that this review will provide informative insights and attract increasing attentions in orthopedic community, shedding light on cortical bone regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Introduction Likely due to ignored heterogeneity in disease pathophysiology, osteoarthritis (OA) has become the most common disabling joint disease, without effective disease-modifying treatment causing a large social and economic burden. In this study we set out to explore responses of aged human osteochondral explants upon different OA-related perturbing triggers (inflammation, hypertrophy and mechanical stress) for future tailored biomimetic human models. Methods Human osteochondral explants were treated with IL-1β (10 ng/ml) or triiodothyronine (T3; 10 nM) or received 65% strains of mechanical stress (65% MS). Changes in chondrocyte signalling were determined by expression levels of nine genes involved in catabolism, anabolism and hypertrophy. Breakdown of cartilage was measured by sulphated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) release, scoring histological changes (Mankin score) and mechanical properties of cartilage. Results All three perturbations (IL-1β, T3 and 65% MS) resulted in upregulation of the catabolic genes MMP13 and EPAS1. IL-1β abolished COL2A1 and ACAN gene expression and increased cartilage degeneration, reflected by increased Mankin scores and sGAGs released. Treatment with T3 resulted in a high and significant upregulation of the hypertrophic markers COL1A1, COL10A1 and ALPL. However, 65% MS increased sGAG release and detrimentally altered mechanical properties of cartilage. Conclusion We present consistent and specific output on three different triggers of OA. Perturbation with the pro-inflammatory IL-1β mainly induced catabolic chondrocyte signalling and cartilage breakdown, while T3 initiated expression of hypertrophic and mineralization markers. Mechanical stress at a strain of 65% induced catabolic chondrocyte signalling and changed cartilage matrix integrity. The major strength of our ex vivo models was that they considered aged, preserved, human cartilage of a heterogeneous OA patient population. As a result, the explants may reflect a reliable biomimetic model prone to OA onset allowing for development of different treatment modalities.

Abstract
Strontium (Sr) is an essential trace element and widely exists in nature. It plays an important role in the in vivo regulation of bone metabolism. Sr locates below Fe in the periodic table, and its chemical structure and polarity are similar to those of Ca. It can induce bone mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts and reducing bone resorption. It promotes bone formation through a series of related pathways. The mechanism of Sr regulation of bone metabolism has been extensively researched in recent years. The current study aims to investigate the mechanism of Sr and provide a theoretical basis for its clinical application.

Abstract
Background Strontium ranelate (StR) is an antiosteoporotic agent previously utilized for the enhancement of fracture union. We investigated the effects of StR on fracture healing using a rabbit model. Methods Forty adult female rabbits were included in the study and were divided in 2 equal groups, according to StR treatment or untreated controls. All animals were subjected to osteotomy of the ulna, while the contralateral ulna remained intact and served as a control for the biomechanical assessment of fracture healing. Animals in the study group received 600 mg/kg/day of StR orally. All animals received ordinary food. At 2 and 4 weeks, all animals were euthanatized and the osteotomy sites were evaluated for healing through radiological, biomechanical, and histopathological studies. Results The treatment group presented statistically significant higher callus diameter, total callus area, percentage of fibrous tissue (p < 0.001), vessels/mm2, number of total vessels, and lower osteoclast number/mm2 (p < 0.05) than the control group at 2 weeks. Additionally, the treatment group presented significantly higher percentages of new trabecular bone, vessels/mm2, osteoclast number/mm2, and lower values for callus diameter, as well as total callus area (p < 0.05), than the control group at 4 weeks. At 4 weeks, in the treatment group, force applied (p = 0.003), energy at failure (p = 0.004), and load at failure (p = 0.003) were all significantly higher in the forearm specimens with the osteotomized ulnae compared to those without. Radiological bone union was demonstrated for animals receiving StR at 4 weeks compared with controls (p = 0.045). Conclusion StR appears to enhance fracture healing but further studies are warranted in order to better elucidate the mechanisms and benefits of StR treatment.

Abstract
The osteoinductive property of strontium was repeatedly proven in the last decades. Compelling in vitro data demonstrated that strontium hydroxyapatite nanoparticles exert a dual action, by promoting osteoblasts-driven matrix secretion and inhibiting osteoclasts-driven matrix resorption. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP2) is a powerful osteoinductive biologic, used for the treatment of vertebral fractures and critically-sized bone defects. Although effective, the use of rhBMP2 has limitations due its recombinant morphogen nature. In this study, we examined the comparison between two osteoinductive agents: rhBMP2 and the innovative strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. To test their effectiveness, we independently loaded Gelfoam sponges with the two osteoinductive agents and used the sponges as agent-carriers. Gelfoam are FDA-approved biodegradable medical devices used as delivery system for musculoskeletal defects. Their porous structure and spongy morphology make them attractive in orthopedic field. The abiotic characterization of the loaded sponges, involving ion release pattern and structure investigation, was followed by in vivo implantation onto the periosteum of healthy mice and comparison of the effects induced by each implant was performed. Abiotic analysis demonstrated that strontium was continuously released from the sponges over 28 days with a pattern similar to rhBMP2. Histological observations and gene expression analysis showed stronger endochondral ossification elicited by strontium compared to rhBMP2. Osteoclast activity was more inhibited by strontium than by rhBMP2. These results demonstrated the use of sponges loaded with strontium nanoparticles as potential bone grafts might provide better outcomes for complex fractures. Strontium nanoparticles are a novel and effective non-biologic treatment for bone injuries and can be used as novel powerful therapeutics for bone regeneration.

Zhang Y, Luo G, Yu X. Cellular Communication in Bone Homeostasis and the Related Anti-osteoporotic Drug Development. Curr Med Chem 2020; 27:1151-1169. [PMID: 30068268 DOI: 10.2174/0929867325666180801145614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Revised: 06/28/2018] [Accepted: 07/19/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Background:Intercellular crosstalk among osteoblast, osteoclast, osteocyte and chondrocyte is involved in the precise control of bone homeostasis. Disruption of this cellular and molecular signaling would lead to metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Currently a number of anti-osteoporosis interventions are restricted by side effects, complications and long-term intolerance. This review aims to summarize the bone cellular communication involved in bone remodeling and its usage to develop new drugs for osteoporosis. Methods:We searched PubMed for publications from 1 January 1980 to 1 January 2018 to identify relevant and latest literatures, evaluation and prospect of osteoporosis medication were summarized. Detailed search terms were 'osteoporosis', 'osteocyte', 'osteoblast', 'osteoclast', 'bone remodeling', 'chondrocyte', 'osteoporosis treatment', 'osteoporosis therapy', 'bisphosphonates', 'denosumab', 'Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM)', 'PTH', 'romosozumab', 'dkk-1 antagonist', 'strontium ranelate'. Results:A total of 170 papers were included in the review. About 80 papers described bone cell interactions involved in bone remodeling. The remaining papers were focused on the novel advanced and new horizons in osteoporosis therapies. Conclusion:There exists a complex signal network among bone cells involved in bone remodeling. The disorder of cell-cell communications may be the underlying mechanism of osteoporosis. Current anti-osteoporosis therapies are effective but accompanied by certain drawbacks simultaneously. Restoring the abnormal signal network and individualized therapy are critical for ideal drug development.

Abstract
In this third in a series of reviews on adjuvant drug-assisted bone healing, further approaches aiming at influencing the healing process are discussed. Local and systemic modulation of bone metabolism is pursued with use of a number of drugs with completely different indications, which are characterized by a pleiotropic spectrum of action. These include drugs used to treat lipid disorders (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), hypertension (ACE inhibitors), osteoporosis (bisphosphonates), cancer (proteasome inhibitors) and others. Potential applications to enhance bone healing are discussed.

Abstract
Arthritis, including osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is the leading cause of years lived with disability (YLD) worldwide. Although pain is the cardinal symptom of arthritis, which is directly related to function and quality of life, the elucidation of the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of pain in arthritis has lagged behind other areas, such as inflammation control and regulation of autoimmunity. The lack of therapeutics for optimal pain management is partially responsible for the current epidemic of opioid and narcotic abuse. Recent advances in animal experimentation and molecular biology have led to significant progress in our understanding of arthritis pain. Despite the inherent problems in the extrapolation of data gained from animal pain studies to arthritis in human patients, the critical assessment of molecular mediators and translational studies would help to define the relevance of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of arthritis pain. This review discusses biological and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of arthritis pain determined in animal models of OA and RA, along with the methodologies used.

Strontium Promotes the Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Placental Decidual Basalis- and Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs in a Dose-Dependent Manner. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:4242178.

Abstract
The osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) varies among different tissue sources. Strontium enhances the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs), but whether it exerts similar effects on placental decidual basalis-derived MSCs (PDB-MSCs) remains unknown. Here, we compared the influence of strontium on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human PDB- and BM-MSCs in vitro. We found that 1 mM and 10 mM strontium, but not 0.1 mM strontium, evidently promoted the proliferation of human PDB- and BM-MSCs. These doses of strontium showed a comparable alkaline phosphatase activity in both cell types, but their osteogenic gene expressions were promoted in a dose-dependent manner. Strontium at doses of 0.1 mM and 1 mM elevated several osteogenic gene expressions of PDB-MSCs, but not those of BM-MSCs at an early stage. Nevertheless, they failed to enhance the mineralization of either cell type. By contrast, 10 mM strontium facilitated the osteogenic gene expression as well as the mineralization of human PDB- and BM-MSCs. Collectively, this study demonstrated that human PDB- and BM-MSCs shared a great similarity in response to strontium, which promoted their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner.

Human osteocyte expression of Nerve Growth Factor: The effect of Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS) and implications for pain associated with knee osteoarthritis. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0222602.

Abstract
Pentosan polysulphate sodium (PPS) is a promising therapeutic agent for blocking knee pain in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The mode of action of PPS in this context is unknown. We hypothesised that the osteocyte, being the principal cell type in the sub-chondral bone, was capable of expressing the pain mediator Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), and that this may be altered in the presence of PPS. We tested the expression of NGF and the response to PPS in the presence or absence of the proinflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), in human osteocytes. For this we differentiated human primary osteoblasts grown from subchondral bone obtained at primary knee arthroplasty for KOA to an osteocyte-like stage over 28d. We also tested NGF expression in fresh osteocytes obtained by sequential digestion from KOA bone and by immunofluorescence in KOA bone sections. We demonstrate for the first time the production and secretion of NGF/proNGF by this cell type derived from patients with KOA, implicating osteocytes in the pain response in this pathological condition and possibly others. PPS inhibited TNFα-induced levels of proNGF secretion and TNFα induced NGF mRNA expression. Together, this provides evidence that PPS may act to suppress the release of NGF in the subchondral bone to ameliorate pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Implant anchorage remains a challenge, especially in porous osteoporotic bone with high osteoclast activity. The implant surface is modified with osteogenic molecules to stimulate osseointegration. Strontium (Sr) is known for its osteogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic effects. In this study, Sr was immobilized on a titanium (Ti) surface using bioinspired polyphenol tannic acid (pTAN) coating as an ad-layer (Ti-pTAN). Two separate coating techniques were employed for comparative analysis. In the first technique, Ti was coated with a tannic acid solution containing Sr (Ti-pTAN-1Stp). In the second method, Ti was first coated with pTAN, before being immersed in a SrCl2 solution to immobilize Sr on Ti-pTAN (Ti-pTAN-2Stp). Ti-pTAN-1Stp and Ti-pTAN-2Stp augmented the alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen secretion, osteocalcin production and calcium deposition of MC3T3-E1 cells as compared to those of Ti and Ti-pTAN. However, osteoclast differentiation of RAW 264.7, as studied by TRAP activity, total DNA, and multinucleated cell formation, were decreased on Ti-pTAN, Ti-pTAN-1Stp and Ti-pTAN-2Stp as compared to Ti. Of all the substrates, osteoclast activity on Ti-pTAN-2Stp was the lowest. Hence, an economical and simple coating technique using pTAN as an adlayer preserved the dual biological effects of Sr. These results indicate a promising new approach to tailoring the cellular responses of implant surfaces.

Abstract
Nowadays, regenerative medicine has paid special attention to research (in vitro and in vivo) related to bone regeneration, specifically in the treatment of bone fractures or skeletal defects, which is rising worldwide and is continually demanding new developments in the use of stem cells, growth factors, membranes and scaffolds based on novel nanomaterials, and their applications in patients by using advanced tools from molecular biology and tissue engineering. Strontium (Sr) is an element that has been investigated in recent years for its participation in the process of remodeling and bone formation. Based on these antecedents, this is a review about the Strontium Folate (SrFO), a recently developed non-protein based bone-promoting agent with interest in medical and pharmaceutical fields due to its improved features in comparison to current therapies for bone diseases.

Osteocytes respond to particles of clinically-relevant conventional and cross-linked polyethylene and metal alloys by up-regulation of resorptive and inflammatory pathways. Acta Biomater 2019; 87:296-306. [PMID: 30690207 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.01.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2018] [Revised: 01/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major cause of implant failure in total hip replacements. Aseptic loosening caused by osteolytic lesions is associated with the production of bioactive wear particles from the articulations of implants. Wear particles infiltrate the surrounding tissue of implants, promoting inflammation as well as bone resorption. Osteocytes have been shown to both regulate physiological osteoclastogenesis and directly remodel their perilacunar bone matrix by the process of osteocytic osteolysis. We hypothesise that osteocytes respond to wear debris of orthopaedic implant materials by adopting a pro-catabolic phenotype and thus contribute to periprosthetic osteolysis through the known pathways of bone loss. Osteocyte responses to particles derived from clinically relevant materials, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and metal alloys, Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo, were examined in vitro in human primary osteocyte-like cultures. Osteocyte-like cells exposed to both polyethylene and metal wear particle types showed upregulated expression of catabolic markers associated with osteocytic osteolysis, MMP13, carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) and cathepsin K (CTSK). In addition, pro-osteoclastogenesis markers RANKL and M-CSF were induced, as well as the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and TNFα, albeit with different kinetics. These findings suggest a previously unrecognised action of wear particles of multiple orthopaedic materials on osteocytes, and suggest a multifaceted role for osteocytes in periprosthetic osteolysis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study addresses periprosthetic osteolysis, a major clinical problem leading to aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants. It is well accepted that wear particles of polyethylene and of other implant materials stimulate the activity of bone resorbing osteoclasts. Our recent work provided evidence that commercial particles of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) stimulated osteocytes to adopt a bone catabolic state. In this study we demonstrate for the first time that particles derived from materials in clinical use, conventional UHMWPE, highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), and Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo metal alloys, all stimulate human osteocyte activities of osteocyte-regulated osteoclastogenesis, osteocytic osteolysis, proinflammatory responses, osteocyte apoptosis, albeit to varying extents. This study provides further mechanistic insight into orthopaedic wear particle mediated bone disease in terms of the osteocyte, the most abundant and key controlling cell type in bone.

Abstract
Porous hydroxyapatite as a drug carrier is very popular and has many clinical applications. However, traditional hydroxyapatite materials have limited osteogenic capacity. Therefore, the development of a new hydroxyapatite drug delivery system is essential for bone tissue engineering. In this study, the metal element Sr was used to replace Ca, and the SrHA microspheres were successfully prepared by hydrothermal reaction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize SrHA (strontium-doped hydroxyapatite) microspheres obtained from hydrothermal reaction conditions. In addition, the drug utility was enhanced by loading the marine active compound 1-(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone (HKB). Furthermore, after co-culture with preosteoblasts, experiments indicated that HKB/SrHA composite microspheres had a more significant effect on the proliferation and differentiation of cells compared to pure SrHA. These HKB/SrHA composite microspheres may be applied to the drug delivery system of bone tissue repair.

Tart Cherry Prevents Bone Loss through Inhibition of RANKL in TNF-Overexpressing Mice. Nutrients 2018; 11:nu11010063.

Abstract
Current drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis-associated bone loss come with concerns about their continued use. Thus, it is necessary to identify natural products with similar effects, but with fewer or no side effects. We determined whether tart cherry (TC) could be used as a supplement to prevent inflammation-mediated bone loss in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-overexpressing transgenic (TG) mice. TG mice were assigned to a 0%, 5%, or 10% TC diet, with a group receiving infliximab as a positive control. Age-matched wild-type (WT) littermates fed a 0% TC diet were used as a normal control. Mice were monitored by measurement of body weight. Bone health was evaluated via serum biomarkers, microcomputed tomography (µCT), molecular assessments, and mechanical testing. TC prevented TNF-mediated weight loss, while it did not suppress elevated levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. TC also protected bone structure from inflammation-induced bone loss with a reduced ratio of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) to a degree comparable to infliximab. Furthermore, unlike with infliximab, TC exhibited a moderate improvement in TNF-mediated decline in bone stiffness. Thus, TC could be used as a prophylactic regimen against future fragility fractures in the context of highly chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Mutations in Serpinf1 gene which encodes pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) lead to osteogenesis imperfecta type VI whose hallmark is defective mineralization. We reported that PEDF suppressed expression of Sost/Sclerostin and other osteocyte related genes in mineralizing osteoblast cultures and suggested that this could be part of the mechanisms by which PEDF regulates matrix mineralization (Li et al. J Cellular Phys. 2014). We have used a long-term differentiated mineralizing osteoblast culture (LTD) to define mechanisms by which PEDF regulates osteocyte gene expression. LTD cultures were established by culturing human osteoblasts in an osteogenic medium for 4 months followed by analysis of osteocytes related genes and encoded proteins. LTD cells synthesized Sclerostin, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) and dentin matrix protein (DMP-1) and their synthesis was reduced by treatment with PEDF. Treatment of the cultures with PEDF induced phosphorylation of Erk and glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta (GSK-3β), and accumulation of nonphosphorylated β-catenin. Inhibition of Erk activation and neutralizing antibodies to the pigment epithelium derived receptor (PEDF-R) suppressed GSK-3β phosphorylation and accumulation of nonphosphorylated β-catenin in presence of PEDF. Topflash assays demonstrated that PEDF activated luciferase reporter activity and this activity was inhibited by treatment with Erk inhibitor or neutralizing antibodies to PEDF-R. Dickkopf-related protein 1 treatment of the cells in presence of PEDF had minimal effect suggesting that GSK-3β phosphorylation and accumulation of nonphosphorylayted β-catenin may not involve LRP5/6 in osteocytes. Taken together, the data demonstrate that PEDF regulates osteocyte gene expression through its receptor and possible involvement of Erk/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Systemic administration of strontium ranelate to enhance the osseointegration of implants: systematic review of animal studies. Int J Implant Dent 2018; 4:21. [PMID: 30014305 PMCID: PMC6047953 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-018-0132-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2017] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
The literature states that Strontium (Sr) is able to simultaneously stimulate bone formation and suppress bone resorption. Recent animal studies suggest that the systemic administration of Sr, in the form of strontium ranelate (SRAN), would enhance the osseointegration of implants. The purpose of the present study was to undertake a systematic review on animal studies evaluating the systemic administration of Sr to enhance the osseointegration of titanium implants and the remodeling of bone grafts. The MEDLINE (PubMed) and Scopus bibliographic databases were searched from 1950 to October 2017 for reports on the use of systemic and non-radioactive Sr to enhance the osseointegration of titanium implants and the remodeling of bone grafts in animals. The search strategy was restricted to English language publications using the combined terms: "strontium" and "implant or graft or biomaterial or bone substitute". Five studies were included, all related to the systemic administration of Sr in the form SRAN, and its effects on osseointegration of titanium implants. No studies on the use of SRAN-based therapy to enhance the remodeling of bone grafts were found. The studies differed notably with respect to the study population (healthy female rats, healthy male rats, and female rats with induced osteoporosis) and SRAN dose (ranging from 500 to 1000 mg/kg/day). Results were diverse, but a tendency suggesting positive influence of systemic SRAN administration on the osseointegration of titanium implants was observed. No major side-effects due to strontium administration were reported. Systemic Sr administration, in the form of SRAN, seems to enhance peri-implant bone quality and implant osseointegration in animals, however, at a moderate extent. Further studies, evaluating both the effects of this drug on implant osseointegration and the risk/benefit of its use, are needed to provide a rationale of this therapeutic approach.

Strontium-releasing fluorapatite glass-ceramic scaffolds: Structural characterization and in vivo performance. Acta Biomater 2018; 75:463-471. [PMID: 29859366 PMCID: PMC6119524 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.05.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2018] [Revised: 05/10/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
There is increasing interest in biodegradable ceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering capable of in situ delivery of ionic species favoring bone formation. Strontium has been shown to be osteogenic, but strontium-containing drugs such as strontium ranelate, used in Europe for the treatment of osteoporosis, are now restricted due to clinical evidence of systemic effects. By doping fluorapatite-based glasses with strontium, we developed ceramic scaffolds with fully interconnected macroporosity and cell size similar to that of cancellous bone, that are also capable of releasing strontium. The crystallization behavior, investigated by XRD and SEM, revealed the formation of akermanite and fluorapatite at the surface of strontium-free glass-ceramic scaffolds, and strontium-substituted fluorapatite at the surface of the strontium-doped scaffolds. At 8 weeks after implantation in a rat calvarial critical size defect, scaffolds doped with the highest amount of strontium led to the highest mineral apposition rate. A significantly higher amount of newly-formed bone was found with the strontium-free glass-ceramic scaffold, and possibly linked to the presence of akermanite at the scaffold surface. We demonstrate by energy dispersive XRF analyses of skull sections that strontium was present in newly formed bone with the strontium-doped scaffolds, while a significant amount of fluorine was incorporated in newly formed bone, regardless of composition or crystallization state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is considered a specific vascular disease in which endothelial dysfunction may be the crucial factor of its pathogenesis. It has been suggested that strontium (Sr) may play a role in the pathophysiology of PE. Our group established in a previous study the serum levels of Sr in healthy pregnancies, and the main aim of the present study was to evaluate Sr concentrations and oxidative status in preeclamptic women. METHODS The study population included women with early-onset PE (E-PE, n = 39), late-onset PE (L-PE, n = 67) and serial samples from a subset of preeclamptic women (PE-ss, n = 20). The control group included women with gestational hypertension (GH, n = 56) and healthy pregnancies (samples collected in the 1st (n = 50), 2nd (n = 51) and 3rd trimesters (n = 53)). Strontium, calcium (Ca), uric acid (UA), placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant activity (TAA) were measured in these samples. RESULTS Mean Sr levels were significantly higher in PE than in control groups (p ≤ 0.0001). Calcium values were found to be significantly lower in E-PE compared to control groups (p = 0.03). Higher levels of NT-proBNP were found in PE vs. control groups (p < 0.001). sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was higher in E-PE compared to L-PE and GH (p < 0.001). Uric acid levels in PE were significantly higher than in control groups (p < 0.0001). There was a strong positive correlation between UA and Sr in the E-PE serial samples (r = 0.80, p < 0.0001). Lipid peroxidation and lipid peroxidation/TAA ratios were found to be higher in PE, with lower values of TAA. CONCLUSION The higher levels of Sr and the alterations of redox status found in preeclamptic women, along with the strong correlation between UA and Sr suggest that this element may be involved in the pathogenesis of PE.

Abstract
Bone-related infection rates are 4–64% in long open bone fractures and nearly 1% in joint-related surgeries. Treating bone infections and infection-related bone loss is very important. The present study prepared strontium ranelate (SR)-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (PM) with assembled silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) (SR-PM-Ag-HA) through a novel solid-in-oil nanosuspension (S/O/N) method to achieve osteoinductivity and antibacterial properties. We evaluated the microstructure, drug release, biocompatibility, osteoinductivity, and antibacterial activity in vitro. The microspheres showed a stable shape and size. The cumulative drug release reached a maximum of ∼90% after 22 days. All groups loaded with SR enhanced MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation to a greater degree than pure PM. The osteoinductivity behavior was investigated by ALP staining and real-time PCR of osteogenic differentiation marker genes. The antibacterial activity was evaluated using antibacterial ability and biofilm formation assays. SR-PM-Ag-HA greatly enhanced osteogenic differentiation and showed excellent antibacterial properties. These results indicated that SR-PM-Ag-HA could be biocompatible and suitable for drug delivery, osteoinduction, and antibiosis, and therefore, have potential applications in the treatment of bone-related infections and promotion of bone formation at infected sites.

Abstract
Recently, the use of the pharmacological agents strontium ranelate (SR), parathyroid hormone (1-34, PTH) and zoledronic acid (ZA) has come to prominence for the treatment of osteoporosis due to their ability to prevent bone loss in osteoporotic patients. Although much emphasis has been placed on using pharmacological agents for the prevention of disease, much less attention has been placed on which one is more effective. There is still no direct comparative study on these three drugs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of SR, PTH, ZA on preventing ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats. After bilateral ovariectomy the rats randomly received vehicle, SR (500 mg/kg body weight/day, orally), PTH (20 μg/kg/day, subcutaneously) or a single injection of ZA (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.) until death at 12 weeks. The distal femurs were harvested for evaluation of bone metabolism. The rats treated with ZA demonstrated the highest levels of new bone formation as assessed by microcomputed tomography (CT), biomechanical strength, histological analysis and bone metabolism. Furthermore, PTH and SR showed a stronger effect on improving trabecular bone mass at 12 weeks. The results from the present study demonstrate that systemic administration of PTH, SR and ZA could prevent bone loss, while a single dose of ZA has a better effect on preventing ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis than either PTH or SR.

Abstract
Sclerostin has emerged as an important regulator of bone mass. We have shown that sclerostin can act by targeting late osteoblasts/osteocytes to inhibit bone mineralization and to upregulate osteocyte expression of catabolic factors, resulting in osteocytic osteolysis. Here we sought to examine the effect of exogenous sclerostin on osteocytes in trabecular bone mechanically loaded ex vivo. Bovine trabecular bone cores, with bone marrow removed, were inserted into individual chambers and subjected to daily episodes of dynamic loading. Cores were perfused with either osteogenic media alone or media containing human recombinant sclerostin (rhSCL) (50 ng/ml). Loaded control bone increased in apparent stiffness over time compared with unloaded bone, and this was abrogated in the presence of rhSCL. Loaded bone showed an increase in calcein uptake as a surrogate of mineral accretion, compared with unloaded bone, in which this was substantially inhibited by rhSCL treatment. Sclerostin treatment induced a significant increase in the ionized calcium concentration in the perfusate and the release of β-CTX at several time points, an increased mean osteocyte lacunar size, indicative of osteocytic osteolysis, and the expression of catabolism-related genes. Human primary osteocyte-like cultures treated with rhSCL also released β-CTX from their matrix. These results suggest that osteocytes contribute directly to bone mineral accretion, and to the mechanical properties of bone. Moreover, it appears that sclerostin, acting on osteocytes, can negate this effect by modulating the dimensions of the lacunocanalicular porosity and the composition of the periosteocyte matrix.

Abstract
Strontium (Sr) has been described as having beneficial influence in bone strength and architecture. However, negative systemic effects have been reported on oral administration of Sr ranelate, leading to strict restrictions in clinical application. We hypothesized that local delivery of Sr improves osteogenesis without eliciting detrimental side effects. Therefore, the in vivo response to an injectable Sr-hybrid system composed of RGD-alginate hydrogel cross-linked in situ with Sr and reinforced with Sr-doped hydroxyapatite microspheres, was investigated. The system was injected in a critical-sized bone defect model and compared to a similar Sr-free material. Micro-CT results show a trend towards higher new bone formed in Sr-hybrid group and major histological differences were observed between groups. Higher cell invasion was detected at the center of the defect of Sr-hybrid group after 15 days with earlier bone formation. Higher material degradation with increase of collagen fibers and bone formation in the center of the defect after 60 days was observed as opposed to bone formation restricted to the periphery of the defect in the control. These histological findings support the evidence of an improved response with the Sr enriched material. Importantly, no alterations were observed in the Sr levels in systemic organs or serum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to assess the in vivo and clinical effect of strontium (Sr)-enriched biomaterials in bone formation and/or remodelling. METHODS A systematic search was performed in Pubmed, followed by a two-step selection process. We included in vivo original studies on Sr-containing biomaterials used for bone support or regeneration, comparing at least two groups that only differ in Sr addition in the experimental group. RESULTS A total of 572 references were retrieved and 27 were included. Animal models were used in 26 articles, and one article described a human study. Osteoporotic models were included in 11 papers. All articles showed similar or increased effect of Sr in bone formation and/or regeneration, in both healthy and osteoporotic models. No study found a decreased effect. Adverse effects were assessed in 17 articles, 13 on local and four on systemic adverse effects. From these, only one reported a systemic impact from Sr addition. Data on gene and/or protein expression were available from seven studies. CONCLUSIONS This review showed the safety and effectiveness of Sr-enriched biomaterials for stimulating bone formation and remodelling in animal models. The effect seems to increase over time and is impacted by the concentration used. However, included studies present a wide range of study methods. Future work should focus on consistent models and guidelines when developing a future clinical application of this element.Cite this article: N. Neves, D. Linhares, G. Costa, C. C. Ribeiro, M. A.

Vijayan V, Gupta S. Role of osteocytes in mediating bone mineralization during hyperhomocysteinemia. J Endocrinol 2017; 233:243-255. [PMID: 28507207 DOI: 10.1530/joe-16-0562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [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: 02/22/2017] [Accepted: 02/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHCY) is a risk factor for osteoporosis but whether HHCY affects bone mineralization or not is still ambiguous. Herein we evaluated whether homocysteine affects tissue mineral density (TMD) of cortical bone and if so the role of osteocytes. CD1 mice administered with homocysteine (5 mg/100 g body weight, i.p.) for 7, 15 and 30 days showed temporal changes in TMD and osteocyte lacunar density in femoral cortices. Short-term administration of homocysteine (day 7) increased osteocyte lacunar density and reduced TMD evidenced by microCT50 while prolonged administration of homocysteine (day 30) reinstated TMD and lacunar density to baseline values. Major differences were decreased number of nucleated osteocyte lacunae, increased number of empty lacunae and cleaved caspase 3-positive osteocyte lacunae in day 30 HHCY bone evidenced by H&E staining and immunohistochemistry. Other differences were induction in mineralization genes like Dmp1, Phex and Sost in cortical bone by real-time PCR and increased number of Dmp1- and Sost-positive osteocyte lacunae in day 30 HHCY bone evidenced by immunohistochemistry. Both HHCY day 7 and day 30 samples showed reduced Young's modulus demonstrating that biomechanical property of bone was lost during early HHCY itself, which did not improve with recovery of TMD. Our results thus demonstrate occurrence of two phases in cortical bone upon HHCY: the early phase that involved loss of TMD and increase in osteocyte numbers and a late phase that involved osteocyte reprogramming, apoptosis and mineralization, which reinstated TMD but compromised biomechanical property. To conclude, osteocytes have a potential role in arbitrating bone pathogenesis during HHCY.

Abstract
The review covers historical and last decade's scientific literature on the biological and clinical role of strontium (Sr) and strontium ranelate (Sr RAN). It enrols the description of the main effects of Sr on supportive tissue, its proven and possible morphopathogenetical mechanisms and the interaction with the bone, and especially focuses on the Sr ability to inhibit osteoclasts and affect the programmed cell death. The main experimental and clinical experience regarding the Sr RAN influence in the treatment of osteoporosis and the search for correct doses is also highlighted. The review gives insight into the role of Sr/Sr RAN on stem cells, apoptosis, animal and clinical research.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) involves cartilage changes as well as modifications of subchondral bone and synovial tissues. Strontium ranelate (SR), an anti-osteoporosis compound, which is currently in phase III clinical trial for treatment of OA. Evidences suggest that SR preferably deposited in osteophyte, other than in subchondral bone in early phase of OA. This phenomenon raises concern about its utility for OA treatment as a disease-modifying drug. To evaluate the effect of SR on cartilage, subchondral bone mass and subchondral trabecular bone structure in medial meniscectomized (MNX) guinea pigs. Method Thirty-six 3-month-old male Dunkin Hartley albino guinea pigs received either sham or medial meniscectomy operations. One week after the procedure, meniscectomized animals began 12 weeks of SR (625 mg/kg, daily) treatment by oral gavage for MNX + SR group, or normal saline for MNX + V group. All animals were euthanized 12 weeks later, cartilage degeneration and subchondral bone micro-architecture was analyzed. Results Both OARSI scores (P = 0.523 for marcoscopic scores, P = 0.297 for histological scores) and Cartilage thickness (P = 0.335) in MNX + SR group were comparable to MNX + V group. However, osteophyte sizes were larger in MNX + SR group (P = 0.014), and collapsed osteophytes in MNX + SR group (7 by 12) were significantly more than in MNX + V group (1 by 12) (P = 0.027), while immunohistochemistry indicates catabolic changes in osteophyte/plateau junction. Micro-CT analysis showed bone mineral density (BMD) (P = 0.001), bone volume fraction (BV/TV) (P = 0.008), trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) (P = 0.020), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (P = 0.012) and structure model index (SMI) (P = 0.005) levels to be significantly higher in the MNX + SR group than in the MNX + V group. Conclusions SR (625 mg/kg/day) did not protect cartilage from degeneration in MNX guinea pigs but subchondral bone was significantly enhanced. In early phase OA, SR administration causes osteophyte overgrowth, which may be related to incorporation into mineralizing osteophytes. This adverse effect is important for future studies of SR in OA.

Abstract
In clinic, strontium ranelate (SrR) is a useful drug to treat osteoporosis by orally taken method, but some side effect appeared in recent years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SrR on cells by direct application, to study the possibility of local application of this drug. Qualitative ALP staining, quantitative ALP activity assay, alizarin red staining, realtime PCR and westernblot assay were used to evaluate the osteogenesis ability of SrR under normal or osteogenic induction environment of ovariectomy bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (OVX-BMSCs). The angiogenesis ability of SrR was studied by immunofluorescence staining of CD31 and vWF of OVX-BMSCs under angiogenesis induction environment, transwell, tubeformation and realtime PCR assay of HUVECs. Signaling pathway of PI3K/AKT/mTOR was also studied. The result demonstrated that SrR could enhance proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMSCs. The osteogenesis effect of SrR has been proved by the better performed of ALP activity, alizarin red staining and the remarkable up-regulation of ALP, Col-I, Runx2, OCN, BMP-2, BSP, OPG of the OVX-BMSCs, and reduction of RANKL. In addition, SrR promotes angiogenesis differentiation of both OVX-BMSCs and HUVECs. Higher intensity of immunostaining of CD31 and vWF, better result of transwell and tubeformation assay could be observed in SrR treated group, and increasing mRNA levels of VEGF and Ang-1 in the OVX-BMSCs, VEGF in HUVECs were learnt. Signaling pathway assay showed that PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was involved in this SrR triggered angiogenesis procedure. The thrombosis marker ET-1, PAI-1 and t-PA were up-regulated, but no significant differences for low concentration (<0.5mM). The concentration between 0.25-0.5mM may be more appropriate for local application, and locally application of SrR could be considered as a promising way for bone regeneration.
