Abstract
INTRODUCTION Female bone health is influenced by familial resemblance, health parameters and maturational periods (puberty and menopause); this combination has been researched using familial multi-generational cross-sectional studies. AIM This scoping review aimed to compile bone health research which uses sexually mature (grandmother-) mother-daughter pairs (and triads) and to determine the trends in its methodologies and familial comparisons. METHODS The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews was used. Extraction included study and population characteristics, methodology (with an emphasis on imaging) and family-based results. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies were included, and their generations were categorized into four developmental categories: late adolescent to young adult, pre-menopause, mixed-menopause, and post-menopause. Eleven different pair/triad combinations were observed; the most common was pre-menopausal daughters and post-menopausal mothers. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was the most utilized imaging modality, and the hip was the most imaged region of interest (ROI). Regardless of pairing, imaging modality and ROI, there was often a trend toward significant familial resemblance and heritability (h2 and h2L). CONCLUSION This scoping review highlights the trends in bone health linked to familial resemblance, as well as the importance of menopause and late adolescence. This review compiles the commonalities and challenges within these studies to inform future research.

Abstract
As epigenetic regulators of gene expression, circulating micro-RiboNucleic Acids (miRNAs) have been described in several bone diseases as potential prognostic markers. The aim of our study was to identify circulating miRNAs potentially associated with the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in three steps. We have screened by RNA sequencing for the miRNAs that were differentially expressed in sera of a small group of OI patients versus controls and then conducted a validation phase by RT-qPCR analysis of sera of a larger patient population. In the first phase of miROI, we found 79 miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed. We therefore selected 19 of them as the most relevant. In the second phase, we were able to validate the significant overexpression of 8 miRNAs in the larger OI group. Finally, we looked for a relationship between the level of variation of the validated miRNAs and the clinical characteristics of OI. We found a significant difference in the expression of two microRNAs in those patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta. After reviewing the literature, we found 6 of the 8 miRNAs already known to have a direct action on bone homeostasis. Furthermore, the use of a miRNA-gene interaction prediction model revealed a 100% probability of interaction between 2 of the 8 confirmed miRNAs and COL1A1 and/or COL1A2. This is the first study to establish the miRNA signature in OI, showing a significant modification of miRNA expression potentially involved in the regulation of genes involved in the physiopathology of OI. © 2023 The Authors.

Calcif Tissue Int 2023; 112:647-655. [PMID: 36944706 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-023-01074-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the prevalence of probable, confirmed, and severe sarcopenia in spondyloarthritis (SpA), according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2019 (EWGSOP2) definition. A total of 103 patients (51% women) with SpA, mean age 47.1 ± 13.7 years, were included and compared to 103 age- and sex-matched controls. Grip strength was measured by dynamometry. Body composition was assessed by whole-body densitometry. In SpA patients gait speed was measured by the 4-m-distance walk test and quality of life was evaluated with a specific health-related questionnaire for sarcopenia (SaRQoL®). Twenty-two SpA patients (21%) versus 7 controls (7%) had a low grip strength, i.e., probable sarcopenia (p < 0.01), 15 SpA (15%) patients and 7 controls (7%) had low Skeletal Muscle mass Index (SMI) (ns), respectively, and 5 and 2% of SpA patients and controls had low grip strength and low SMI, i.e., confirmed sarcopenia (ns). All the sarcopenic SpA patients had a low gait speed, i.e., severe sarcopenia. Finally, probable sarcopenic SpA patients had significantly higher C-Reactive Protein (CRP, p < 0.001) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI score, p < 0.01), lower gait speed (p < 0.001), and SarQoL® score (p < 0.001) than SpA patients with normal grip strength. According to EWGSOP2 definition, the prevalence of probable sarcopenia was significantly higher in SpA patients compared to controls. Probable sarcopenia was associated with higher inflammation and disease activity, impaired muscle performance, and quality of life. These results suggest that muscle strength may be a salient hallmark in SpA.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disease caused by activating mutations of GNAS encoding the Gsα protein, enhancing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production by overstimulation of adenylyl cyclase and impairing osteoblastic differentiation. The clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to polyostotic forms with severe disability, explained by the mosaic distribution of the GNAS mutation. Physicians have to deal with the gap of knowledge in FD pathogenesis, the absence of prognostic markers and the lack of specific treatment. The identification of specific biomarkers for FD is an important step to improve the clinical and therapeutic approaches. An epigenetic regulation driven by microRNAs (miRNAs), known as promising biomarkers in bone disease, could be involved in FD. We have sought circulating miRNAs that are differentially expressed in FD patients compared to controls and would reflect dysregulations of osteogenesis-related genes and bone disorder. The global miRNA profiling was performed using Next Generation Sequencing in patient serum collected from a discovery cohort of 20 patients (10 polyostotic and 10 monostotic) and 10 controls. From these, we selected 19 miRNAs for a miRNA validation phase from serum of 82 patients and 82 controls, using real-time qPCR. Discovery screening identified 111 miRNAs differentially expressed in patient serum, after adjusting for the false discovery rate (FDR). Among the 82 patients, 55% were polyostotic, and 73% were women with a mean age of 42 years. Six miRNAs (miR-25-3p, miR-93-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-324-5p, miR-363-3p, and miR-451a) were significantly overexpressed in serum, with FDR <0.05. The expression level of these six miRNAs was not associated with the FD severity. In conclusion, we identified a signature of circulating miRNAs associated with FD. These miRNAs are potential negative regulators of gene expression in bone cell progenitors, suggesting their activity in FD by interfering with osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation to impair bone mineralization and remodeling processes. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Chinese Women in Both the United States and Hong Kong Have Cortical Microstructural Advantages and More Trabecular Plates Compared With White Women. JBMR Plus 2018; 3:e10083.

Abstract
We cross-sectionally compared racial differences in bone quality between Chinese women in the United States (US) and Hong Kong (HK) with white women. A total of 514 women were included. We measured bone geometry, mass, microstructure, and stiffness by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), individual trabecula segmentation (ITS), and microfinite element analysis (μFEA). After adjustment for age and body mass index (BMI), premenopausal Chinese women in the US and HK had smaller bone area but greater radial cortical (Ct.) thickness and Ct. and trabecular (Tb.) volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) versus white women but did not differ from each other. At the radius, Tb. number was lower and spacing greater in Chinese women from HK and the US versus white women, whereas Chinese women did not differ from each other. Tb. thickness was highest in Chinese women from HK, intermediate in Chinese-Americans, and lowest in white women. Chinese women had more trabecular plates versus white women, leading to greater age- and BMI-adjusted stiffness for premenopausal Chinese women in HK and the US (both p < 0.05) versus white women. Tibial differences were similar in premenopausal women; analogous trends in microstructure were present in postmenopausal women at the tibia, although stiffness did not differ. In contrast, at the radius, cortical, plate-to-rod ratio, and stiffness were similar between postmenopausal HK and white women. Adjusting for age, weight, and height rather than age and BMI tended to reduce differences in bone size and Tb. parameters but accentuate cortical differences such that Chinese premenopausal women in both locations and postmenopausal women from HK had higher stiffness at both skeletal sites compared with white women. Compared with white women, Chinese women in the US and HK have vBMD and microstructural advantages leading to higher or similar mechanical competence in pre- and postmenopausal women, respectively, despite smaller bone size.

Abstract
To estimate the heritability of bone geometry, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microarchitecture of trabecular (Tb) and cortical (Ct) bone measured by high resolution peripheral quantitative computerised tomography (HRpQCT) at the distal radius and tibia and to investigate the genetic correlations of these measures. Participants were 177 mother-offspring pairs from 162 families (mothers, mean age (SD) = 52.1 (4.7) years; offspring, 25.6 (0.73) years). Trabecular and cortical bone measures were obtained by HRpQCT. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyse the association of bone measures between mother and offspring. Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines (SOLAR) software was utilised to conduct quantitative genetic analyses. All maternal bone measures were independently associated with the corresponding bone measures in the offspring before and after adjustment for age, sex, weight and height. Heritability estimates ranged from 24% to 67% at the radius and from 42% to 74% at the tibia. The relationship for most bone geometry measures was significantly stronger in mother-son pairs (n = 107) compared with mother-daughter pairs (n = 70) (p < 0.05). In contrast, the heritability for most vBMD and microarchitecture measures were higher in mother-daughter pairs. Bivariate analyses found moderate to strong genetic correlations across all measures between radius and tibia (Rg = 0.49 to 0.93). Genetic factors have an important role in the development of bone geometry, vBMD and microarchitecture. These factors are strongly shared for the radius and tibia but vary by sex implying a role for imprinting.

Abstract
Bone imaging is currently the best non-invasive way to assess changes to bone associated with aging or chronic disease. However, common imaging techniques such as dual energy x-ray absorptiometry are associated with limitations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a radiation-free technique that can measure bone microarchitecture. However, published MRI bone assessment protocols use specialized MRI coils and sequences and therefore have limited transferability across institutions. We developed a protocol on a Siemens 3 Tesla MRI machine, using a commercially available coil (Siemens 15 CH knee coil), and manufacturer supplied sequences to acquire images at the tibia. We tested the reproducibility of the FSE and the GE Axial sequences and hypothesized that both would generate reproducible trabecular bone parameters. Eight healthy adults (age 25.5 ± 5.4 years) completed three measurements of each MRI sequence at the tibia. Each of the images was processed for 8 different bone parameters (such as volumetric bone volume fraction). We computed the coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) to assess reproducibility and reliability. Both sequences resulted in trabecular parameters that were reproducible (CV <5% for most) and reliable (ICC >80% for all). Our study is one of the first to report that a commercially available MRI protocol can result in reproducible data, and is significant as MRI may be an accessible method to measure bone microarchitecture in clinical or research environments. This technique requires further testing, including validation and evaluation in other populations. Trabecular bone is difficult to measure using commercial MRI techniques Reproducibility of a MRI protocol measuring trabecular bone was assessed Tibia trabecular bone was reproducible using a knee coil and a FSE Axial sequence Tibia trabecular bone was reproducible using a knee coil and a GE Axial sequence

Abstract
UNLABELLED We investigated the interaction between periostin SNPs and the SNPs of the genes assumed to modulate serum periostin levels and bone microstructure in a cohort of postmenopausal women. We identified an interaction between LRP5 SNP rs648438 and periostin SNP rs9547970 on serum periostin levels and on radial cortical porosity. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between periostin gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and other genes potentially responsible for modulating serum periostin levels and bone microstructure in a cohort of postmenopausal women. METHODS In 648 postmenopausal women from the Geneva Retirees Cohort, we analyzed 6 periostin SNPs and another 149 SNPs in 14 genes, namely BMP2, CTNNB1, ESR1, ESR2, LRP5, LRP6, PTH, SPTBN1, SOST, TGFb1, TNFRSF11A, TNFSF11, TNFRSF11B and WNT16. Volumetric BMD and bone microstructure were measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the distal radius and tibia. RESULTS Serum periostin levels were associated with radial cortical porosity, including after adjustment for age, BMI, and years since menopause (p = 0.036). Sixteen SNPs in the ESR1, LRP5, TNFRSF11A, SOST, SPTBN1, TNFRSF11B and TNFSF11 genes were associated with serum periostin levels (p range 0.03-0.001) whereas 26 SNPs in 9 genes were associated with cortical porosity at the radius and/or at the tibia. WNT 16 was the gene with the highest number of SNPs associated with both trabecular and cortical microstructure. The periostin SNP rs9547970 was also associated with cortical porosity (p = 0.04). In particular, SNPs in LRP5, ESR1 and near the TNFRSF11A gene were associated with both cortical porosity and serum periostin levels. Eventually, we identified an interaction between LRP5 SNP rs648438 and periostin SNP rs9547970 on serum periostin levels (interaction p = 0.01) and on radial cortical porosity (interaction p = 0.005). CONCLUSION These results suggest that periostin expression is genetically modulated, particularly by polymorphisms in the Wnt pathway, and is thereby implicated in the genetic variation of bone microstructure.

Abstract
High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) measures bone microarchitecture and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), important risk factors for osteoporotic fractures. We estimated the heritability (h2 ) of bone microstructure indices and vBMD, measured by HR-pQCT, and genetic correlations (ρG ) among them and between them and regional aBMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), in adult relatives from the Framingham Heart Study. Cortical (Ct) and trabecular (Tb) traits were measured at the distal radius and tibia in up to 1047 participants, and ultradistal radius (UD) aBMD was obtained by DXA. Heritability estimates, adjusted for age, sex, and estrogenic status (in women), ranged from 19.3% (trabecular number) to 82.8% (p < 0.01, Ct.vBMD) in the radius and from 51.9% (trabecular thickness) to 98.3% (cortical cross-sectional area fraction) in the tibia. Additional adjustments for height, weight, and radial aBMD had no major effect on h2 estimates. In bivariate analyses, moderate to high genetic correlations were found between radial total vBMD and microarchitecture traits (ρG from 0.227 to 0.913), except for cortical porosity. At the tibia, a similar pattern of genetic correlations was observed (ρG from 0.274 to 0.948), except for cortical porosity. Environmental correlations between the microarchitecture traits were also substantial. There were high genetic correlations between UD aBMD and multivariable-adjusted total and trabecular vBMD at the radius (ρG = 0.811 and 0.917, respectively). In summary, in related men and women from a population-based cohort, cortical and trabecular microarchitecture and vBMD at the radius and tibia were heritable and shared some h2 with regional aBMD measured by DXA. These findings of high heritability of HR-pQCT traits, with a slight attenuation when adjusting for aBMD, supports further work to identify the specific variants underlying volumetric bone density and fine structure of long bones. Knowledge that some of these traits are genetically correlated can serve to reduce the number of traits for genetic association studies. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Bone is a biomechanical tissue shaped by forces from muscles and gravitation. Simultaneous bone and muscle decay and dysfunction (osteosarcopenia or sarco-osteoporosis) is seen in ageing, numerous clinical situations including after stroke or paralysis, in neuromuscular dystrophies, glucocorticoid excess, or in association with vitamin D, growth hormone/insulin like growth factor or sex steroid deficiency, as well as in spaceflight. Physical exercise may be beneficial in these situations, but further work is still needed to translate acceptable and effective biomechanical interventions like vibration therapy from animal models to humans. Novel antiresorptive and anabolic therapies are emerging for osteoporosis as well as drugs for sarcopenia, cancer cachexia or muscle wasting disorders, including antibodies against myostatin or activin receptor type IIA and IIB (e.g. bimagrumab). Ideally, increasing muscle mass would increase muscle strength and restore bone loss from disuse. However, the classical view that muscle is unidirectionally dominant over bone via mechanical loading is overly simplistic. Indeed, recent studies indicate a role for neuronal regulation of not only muscle but also bone metabolism, bone signaling pathways like receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) implicated in muscle biology, myokines affecting bone and possible bone-to-muscle communication. Moreover, pharmacological strategies inducing isolated myocyte hypertrophy may not translate into increased muscle power because tendons, connective tissue, neurons and energy metabolism need to adapt as well. We aim here to critically review key musculoskeletal molecular pathways involved in mechanoregulation and their effect on the bone-muscle unit as a whole, as well as preclinical and emerging clinical evidence regarding the effects of sarcopenia therapies on osteoporosis and vice versa.

Abstract
Bone fragility depends on bone mass, structure, and material properties, including damage. The relationship between bone turnover, fatigue damage, and the pattern and location of fractures, however, remains poorly understood. We examined these factors and their integrated effects on fracture strength and patterns in tibia. Adult male mice received RANKL (2 mg/kg/day), OPG-Fc (5 mg/kg 2×/week), or vehicle (Veh) 2 days prior to fatigue loading of one tibia by in vivo axial compression, with treatments continuing up to 28 more days. One day post fatigue, crack density was similarly increased in fatigued tibiae from all treatment groups. After 28 days, the RANKL group exhibited reduced bone mass and increased crack density, resulting in reduced bone strength, while the OPG-Fc group had greater bone mass and bone strength. Injury repair altered the pattern and location of fractures created by ex vivo destructive testing, with fractures occurring more proximally and obliquely relative to non-fatigued tibia. A similar pattern was observed in both non-fatigued and fatigued tibia of RANKL. In contrast, OPG-Fc prevented this fatigue-related shift in fracture pattern by maintaining fractures more distal and transverse. Correlation analysis showed that bone strength was predominantly determined by aBMD with minor contributions from structure and intrinsic strength as measured by nanoindentation and cracks density. In contrast, fracture location was predicted equally by aBMD, crack density and intrinsic modulus. The data suggest that not only bone strength but also the fracture pattern depends on previous damage and the effects of bone turnover on bone mass and structure. These observations may be relevant to further understand the mechanisms contributing to fracture pattern in long bone with different levels of bone remodeling, including atypical femur fracture.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We studied bone turnover markers (BTM) and bone microarchitecture (using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)) in 171 postmenopausal women and their 210 premenopausal daughters. BTM levels correlated positively between mothers and daughters. The mother-daughter pairs with high BTM levels had lower cortical density than those with low BTM levels. INTRODUCTION We assessed the correlation of serum bone turnover markers (BTM) between postmenopausal mothers and their premenopausal daughters as well as possible determinants of this association and its impact on resemblance of bone microarchitecture between mothers and their daughters. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis was performed in 171 untreated postmenopausal mothers (54 sustained fragility fractures) and their 210 premenopausal daughters. Intact N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP) and β-isomerized C-terminal crosslinking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) were measured in the fasting status. Bone microarchitecture was assessed using HR-pQCT. RESULTS After adjustment for age, weight, lifestyle factors, hormones, and mother's fracture status, BTM levels correlated positively between mothers and daughters (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient = 0.22-0.27, p <0.005). Average BTM levels were ∼ 0.6 SD higher among daughters of mothers in the highest BTM quartile vs. the ones in the lowest BTM quartile. The variability of BTM levels explained ≤ 10 and ≤ 14% of variability of bone microarchitecture in the daughters and mothers, respectively. Cortical density was lower by 2.3-2.9% (0.6 SD, p <0.05 to <0.005) in the daughters from the mother-daughter pairs with high BTM levels (defined by generation-specific quartiles) than in the daughters from the pairs with low BTM levels. Corresponding differences for the mothers were 4.5-4.8% (0.5 SD, p <0.05 to <0.01). CONCLUSION BTM levels correlated between postmenopausal mothers and their premenopausal daughters after adjustment for age, weight, mother's fracture status, lifestyle, and hormonal factors. Family resemblance of BTM levels may contribute to family resemblance of some bone microarchitectural parameters, especially of cortical density.

Abstract
Integrated -omics approaches are quickly spreading across microbiology research labs, leading to (i) the possibility of detecting previously hidden features of microbial cells like multi-scale spatial organization and (ii) tracing molecular components across multiple cellular functional states. This promises to reduce the knowledge gap between genotype and phenotype and poses new challenges for computational microbiologists. We underline how the capability to unravel the complexity of microbial life will strongly depend on the integration of the huge and diverse amount of information that can be derived today from -omics experiments. In this work, we present opportunities and challenges of multi -omics data integration in current systems biology pipelines. We here discuss which layers of biological information are important for biotechnological and clinical purposes, with a special focus on bacterial metabolism and modelling procedures. A general review of the most recent computational tools for performing large-scale datasets integration is also presented, together with a possible framework to guide the design of systems biology experiments by microbiologists.
