Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1338504. [PMID: 38576442 PMCID: PMC10991839 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1338504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Angiogenesis plays a key role in bone regeneration. The role of neurons of peripheral nerves involved in angiogenesis of bone defects needs to be explored. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a nociceptor of noxious stimuli, is expressed on sensory neurons. Apart from nociception, little is known about the role of sensory innervation in angiogenesis. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide secreted by sensory nerve terminals, has been associated with vascular regeneration. We characterized the reinnervation of vessels in bone repair and assessed the impact of TRPV1-CGRP signaling on early vascularization. We investigated the pro-angiogenic effect of neuronal TRPV1 in the mouse model of femur defect. Micro-CT analysis with Microfil® reagent perfusion demonstrated neuronal TRPV1 activation enhanced angiogenesis by increasing vessel volume, number, and thickness. Meanwhile, TRPV1 activation upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31), and CGRP. Immunostaining revealed the co-localization of TRPV1 and CGRP in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons. By affecting neuronal TRPV1 channels, the release of neuronal and local CGRP was controlled. We demonstrated that TRPV1 influenced on blood vessel development by promoting CGRP release from sensory nerve terminals. Our results showed that neuronal TRPV1 played a crucial role in regulating angiogenesis during bone repair and provided important clinical implications for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for angiogenesis.

Zweifler LE, Sinder BP, Stephan C, Koh AJ, Do J, Ulrich E, Grewal J, Woo C, Batoon L, Kozloff K, Roca H, Mishina Y, McCauley LK. Parathyroid hormone and trabectedin have differing effects on macrophages and stress fracture repair. Bone 2024; 179:116983. [PMID: 38013019 PMCID: PMC10932746 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
Stress fractures occur as a result of repeated mechanical stress on bone and are commonly found in the load-bearing lower extremities. Macrophages are key players in the immune system and play an important role in bone remodeling and fracture healing. However, the role of macrophages in stress fractures has not been adequately addressed. We hypothesize that macrophage infiltration into a stress fracture callus site promotes bone healing. To test this, a unilateral stress fracture induction model was employed in which the murine ulna of four-month-old, C57BL/6 J male mice was repeatedly loaded with a pre-determined force until the bone was displaced a distance below the threshold for complete fracture. Mice were treated daily with parathyroid hormone (PTH, 50 μg/kg/day) starting two days before injury and continued until 24 h before euthanasia either four or six days after injury, or treated with trabectedin (0.15 mg/kg) on the day of stress fracture and euthanized three or seven days after injury. These treatments were used due to their established effects on macrophages. While macrophages have been implicated in the anabolic effects of PTH, trabectedin, an FDA approved chemotherapeutic, compromises macrophage function and reduces bone mass. At three- and four-days post injury, callus macrophage numbers were analyzed histologically. There was a significant increase in macrophages with PTH treatment compared to vehicle in the callus site. By one week of healing, treatments differentially affected the bony callus as analyzed by microcomputed tomography. PTH enhanced callus bone volume. Conversely, callus bone volume was decreased with trabectedin treatment. Interestingly, concurrent treatment with PTH and trabectedin rescued the reduction observed in the callus with trabectedin treatment alone. This study reports on the key involvement of macrophages during stress fracture healing. Given these observed outcomes on macrophage physiology and bone healing, these findings may be important for patients actively receiving either of these FDA-approved therapeutics.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex interplay of molecular and cellular mechanisms lasting from days to weeks. The inflammatory phase is the first stage of fracture healing and is critical in setting the stage for successful healing. There has been growing interest in exploring the role of the immune system and novel therapeutic strategies, such as nanoparticle drug delivery systems in enhancing fracture healing. Advancements in nanotechnology have revolutionized drug delivery systems to the extent that they can modulate immune response during fracture healing by leveraging unique physiochemical properties. Therefore, understanding the intricate interactions between nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems and the immune response, specifically macrophages, is essential for therapeutic efficacy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between the immune system and nanoparticles during fracture healing. Specifically, we highlight the influence of nanoparticle characteristics, such as size, surface properties, and composition, on macrophage activation, polarization, and subsequent immune responses. IMPACT STATEMENT: This review provides valuable insights into the interplay between fracture healing, the immune system, and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Understanding nanoparticle-macrophage interactions can advance the development of innovative therapeutic approaches to enhance fracture healing, improve patient outcomes, and pave the way for advancements in regenerative medicine.

Histological evaluation of the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 9 and angiopoietin 1 on bone healing. J Taibah Univ Med Sci 2023; 18:954-963.

Abstract
Objectives Bone healing remains a critical clinical orthopedic problem. Bone, which is a greatly vascularized tissue, depends on the tight temporal and spatial link between blood vessels and bone cells. Thus, angiogenesis is crucial for skeletal growth and bone fracture healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the local application of osteogenic and angiogenic factors such as bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) and angiopoietin 1 (Ang1), respectively, and their combination as an osteoinducer in the process of bone healing. Methods Forty-eight male albino rats, weighing 300-400 g and aged 6-8 months, were utilized in this study. The animals underwent surgery on the medial side of the tibia bone. In the control group, an absorbable hemostatic sponge was locally applied to the bone defect, while experimental groups were separated into three groups. In Group I, 1 mg BMP9 was locally applied, Group II was treated with 1 mg Ang1, and Group III was treated with local application of a combination (0.5 mg BMP9 and 0.5 mg Ang1). All experimental groups were fixed with an absorbable hemostatic sponge. The rats were sacrificed on days 14 and 28 after surgery. Results Local application of BMP9 alone, Ang1 alone, and their combination to a tibia defect caused osteoid tissue formation and significantly increased the number of bone cells. A gradual decrease in the number of trabecular bone, an increase in trabecular area, and no significant difference in the bone marrow area were noted. Conclusion The combination of BMP9 and Ang1 has therapeutic potential in promoting the healing process of bone defects. Osteogenesis and angiogenesis are regulated by BMP9 and Ang1. These factors act together to accelerate bone regeneration more efficiently than either factor alone.

Abstract
Bone defect repair is a common medical concern. In spite of various existing treatments, its management still requires improvement. Here we show that YAP, a downstream signaling of Hippo pathway, might interplay with redox oxygen species (ROS) and modulate osteoimmunology, which refers to the interaction between immune and skeletal system during bone defect repair. We modulated the ROS level of RAW264.7 cells and found YAP level was reversely regulated. Meanwhile, we detected the feedback of YAP on oxidation level. The results demonstrated that the antioxidant enzyme expression was in proportion to the YAP level of RAW264.7 cells. Additionally, indirect coculture system was applied and it indicated that RAW264.7 cells under oxidative stress could impede proliferation and migration ability of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. Consistently, in vivo experiment verified high oxidant level slowed down mice osteogenesis during bone defect repair, while antioxidant and upregulation of YAP accelerated this process. Additionally, we established a mouse model with YAP conditional knockout in macrophages. The results identified that deficiency of YAP in macrophages negatively affected bone defect repair in vivo. In summary, our study indicated that ROS and YAP could jointly modulate osteogenesis via their effect on osteoimmunology.ABBREVIATIONS: GPX4, glutathione peroxidase 4; NAC, N-Acetyl-L-cysteine; qRT-PCR, real-time quantitative PCR; ROS, reactive oxygen species; Tb.N, trabecular number; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation.

Abstract
The effect of the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on bone fracture healing is unknown. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the systemic complications of COPD, and decreased activity of Nrf2 signaling, a central component of the in vivo antioxidant mechanism, has been reported. We investigated the process of cortical bone repair in a mouse model of elastase-induced emphysema by creating a drill hole and focusing on Nrf2 and found that the amount of new bone in the drill hole was reduced and bone formation capacity was decreased in the model mice. Furthermore, nuclear Nrf2 expression in osteoblasts was reduced in model mice. Sulforaphane, an Nrf2 activator, improved delayed cortical bone healing in model mice. This study indicates that bone healing is delayed in COPD mice and that impaired nuclear translocation of Nrf2 is involved in delayed cortical bone healing, suggesting that Nrf2 may be a novel target for bone fracture treatment in COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor-like domain protein 7 (EGFL7) is a secreted protein that is differentially expressed in the bone microenvironment; however, the effect of EGFL7 on the osteogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) is largely unknown. METHODS EGFL7 expression in the fracture microenvironment was analyzed based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Knockdown of EGFL7 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and in vitro stimulation with recombinant human EGFL7 (rhEGFL7) protein were used to assess alterations in downstream signaling and changes in the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of hBMSCs. A γ-secretase inhibitor was used to further explore whether inhibition of Notch signaling rescued the osteogenic-inhibitory effect of EGFL7 knockdown in hBMSCs. A femoral defect model was established to verify the effect of recombinant mouse EGFL7 on bone healing in vivo. RESULTS EGFL7 expression increased during hBMSC osteogenesis. Knockdown of EGFL7 impaired hBMSC osteogenesis and activated Notch1/NICD/Hes1 signaling. rhEGFL7 promoted hBMSC osteogenesis and downregulated Notch1 signaling. The osteoblast-inhibitory effect of EGFL7 knockdown was rescued by Notch1 signaling inhibition. Recombinant EGFL7 led to enhanced bone healing in mice with femoral defects. CONCLUSIONS EGFL7 promotes osteogenesis of hBMSCs partly via downregulation of Notch1 signaling.

Abstract
Accelerating the repair of a bone defect is crucial clinically due to the increased prevalence of trauma, tumor, and infections in bone. Studies have found that excess acute and chronic inflammation attenuate osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells). Moreover, TNF-α and NF-κB could inhibit osteoblasts differentiation of BMSCs and promote osteoclastogenesis via multiple mechanisms, such as increasing osteoclast precursor cells and acting synergistically with cell cytokines. However, melatonin could inhibit the expression of TNFα/NF-κB and promote bone formation by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, there has been no evidence regarding the effect of melatonin on TNFα/NF-κB-inhibited osteoblastogenesis and bone formation. This study aimed to investigate the role of melatonin on TNFα/NF-κB-inhibited osteoblastogenesis and bone formation. Micro-CT, high-throughput screening, overexpression, and other methods were used, and we found that the number of osteoblasts was elevated with melatonin treatment. Additionally, TNFα/NF-κB signaling was inhibited, while miR-335-5p expression increased markedly following treatment with melatonin. Furthermore, miR-335-5p negatively regulated TNFα/NF-κB signaling, while miR-335-5p inhibitor ameliorated the effects of melatonin on TNFα/NF-κB. In conclusion, melatonin facilitates osteogenesis in bone defect healing by enhancing miR-335-5p expression and inhibiting the TNFα/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Bone stromal cells are critical for bone homeostasis and regeneration. Growing evidence suggests that non-stem bone niche cells support bone homeostasis and regeneration via paracrine mechanisms, which remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that physiologically quiescent SM22α-lineage stromal cells expand after bone injury to regulate diverse processes of intramembranous bone regeneration. The majority of SM22α-lineage cells neither act as stem cells in vivo nor show their expression patterns. Dysfunction of SM22α-lineage niche cells induced by loss of platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) impairs bone repair. We further show that PDGFRβ-triggered hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generation in SM22α-lineage niche cells facilitates osteogenesis and angiogenesis and suppresses overactive osteoclastogenesis. Collectively, these data demonstrate that non-stem SM22α-lineage niche cells support the niche for bone regeneration with a PDGFRβ/H2S-dependent regulatory mechanism. Our findings provide further insight into non-stem bone stromal niche cell populations and niche-regulation strategy for bone repair.

Abstract
Treating large bone defects, known as critical-sized defects (CSDs), is challenging because they are not spontaneously healed by the patient’s body. Due to the limitations associated with conventional bone grafts, bone tissue engineering (BTE), based on three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted scaffolds, has emerged as a promising approach for bone reconstitution and treatment. Bioprinting technology allows for incorporation of living cells and/or growth factors into scaffolds aiming to mimic the structure and properties of the native bone. To date, a wide range of biomaterials (either natural or synthetic polymers), as well as various cells and growth factors, have been explored for use in scaffold bioprinting. However, a key challenge that remains is the fabrication of scaffolds that meet structure, mechanical, and osteoconductive requirements of native bone and support vascularization. In this review, we briefly present the latest developments and discoveries of CSD treatment by means of bioprinted scaffolds, with a focus on the biomaterials, cells, and growth factors for formulating bioinks and their bioprinting techniques. Promising state-of-the-art pathways or strategies recently developed for bioprinting bone scaffolds are highlighted, including the incorporation of bioactive ceramics to create composite scaffolds, the use of advanced bioprinting technologies (e.g., core/shell bioprinting) to form hybrid scaffolds or systems, as well as the rigorous design of scaffolds by taking into account of the influence of such parameters as scaffold pore geometry and porosity. We also review in-vitro assays and in-vivo models to track bone regeneration, followed by a discussion of current limitations associated with 3D bioprinting technologies for BTE. We conclude this review with emerging approaches in this field, including the development of gradient scaffolds, four-dimensional (4D) printing technology via smart materials, organoids, and cell aggregates/spheroids along with future avenues for related BTE.

Secreted frizzled related-protein 2 (Sfrp2) deficiency decreases adult skeletal stem cell function in mice. Bone Res 2021; 9:49. [PMID: 34857734 PMCID: PMC8639730 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-021-00169-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
In a previous transcriptomic study of human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, also known as bone marrow-derived "mesenchymal stem cells"), SFRP2 was highly over-represented in a subset of multipotent BMSCs (skeletal stem cells, SSCs), which recreate a bone/marrow organ in an in vivo ectopic bone formation assay. SFRPs modulate WNT signaling, which is essential to maintain skeletal homeostasis, but the specific role of SFRP2 in BMSCs/SSCs is unclear. Here, we evaluated Sfrp2 deficiency on BMSC/SSC function in models of skeletal organogenesis and regeneration. The skeleton of Sfrp2-deficient (KO) mice is overtly normal; but their BMSCs/SSCs exhibit reduced colony-forming efficiency, reflecting low SSC self-renewal/abundancy. Sfrp2 KO BMSCs/SSCs formed less trabecular bone than those from WT littermates in the ectopic bone formation assay. Moreover, regeneration of a cortical drilled hole defect was dramatically impaired in Sfrp2 KO mice. Sfrp2-deficient BMSCs/SSCs exhibited poor in vitro osteogenic differentiation as measured by Runx2 and Osterix expression and calcium accumulation. Interestingly, activation of the Wnt co-receptor, Lrp6, and expression of Wnt target genes, Axin2, C-myc and Cyclin D1, were reduced in Sfrp2-deficient BMSCs/SSCs. Addition of recombinant Sfrp2 restored most of these activities, suggesting that Sfrp2 acts as a Wnt agonist. We demonstrate that Sfrp2 plays a role in self-renewal of SSCs and in the recruitment and differentiation of adult SSCs during bone healing. SFRP2 is also a useful marker of BMSC/SSC multipotency, and a factor to potentially improve the quality of ex vivo expanded BMSC/SSC products.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma have become increasingly common in aged populations. Clinically, because of the relatively decreased bone healing capacity compared with the youth adults, bone defect repair in the elderly remains challenging. The development of effective biomaterials targeted at bone defects in the elderly is a key component of bone-tissue engineering strategies. However, little attention has been paid to bone regeneration in the elderly. Here, we developed a new scaffold chitosan-Strontium chondroitin sulfate (CH-SrCS) and evaluated its effect on improving bone regeneration. We find that the CH-SrCS scaffold displayed positive effects on downregulation of inflammation and osteoclastogenesis related mRNA expressions while demonstrating a significant increase in the expression level of BMP2. Finally, we show that the bone defects healing effects as assessed using an aged rats' bone defects model. Ultimately, this work also provides insights into the design of effective biomaterials targeted at bone defects in the elderly.

Abstract
Correct assessment of the bone healing process is required for the management of limb immobilization during the treatment of bone injuries, including fractures and defects. Although the monitoring of bone healing using ultrasound poses several advantages regarding cost and ionizing radiation exposure compared with other dominant imaging methods, such as radiography and computed tomography (CT), traditional ultrasound B-mode imaging lacks reliability and objectivity. However, the body structures can be quantitatively observed by ultrasound frequency-based methods, and therefore, the disadvantages of B-mode imaging can be overcome. In this study, we created a femoral bone hole model of a rat and observed the bone healing process using the quantitative ultrasound method and micro-CT, which provides a reliable assessment of the tissue microstructure of the bone. This study analyzed the correlation between these two assessments. The results revealed that the quantitative ultrasound measurements correlated with the CT measurements for rat bone healing. This ultrasound frequency-based method could have the potential to serve as a novel modality for quantitative monitoring of bone healing with the advantages of being less invasive and easily accessible. Impact statement Bone healing monitoring with ultrasound is advantageous as it is less invasive and easily accessible; however, the traditional B-mode method lacks reliability and objectivity. This study demonstrated that the proposed ultrasound frequency-based monitoring method can quantitatively observe bone healing and strongly correlates with the computed tomography measurements for rat bone healing. This method has the potential to become a reliable modality for monitoring bone healing.

Abstract
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) with an intensity (spatial average temporal average, ISATA) of 30 mW/cm2 has been widely proved to be effective on impaired bone healing, but showing little effectiveness in the treatment of osteoporosis. We hypothesized that the intensity of LIPUS may be a key factor in explaining this difference, thus two intensity levels, the widely used 30 mW/cm2 and a higher 150 mW/cm2, were used to simultaneously treat osteoporosis and osteoporotic bone defect in ovariectomized (OVX) rats with a 1-mm drill hole on their left femurs.Results showed that 150 mW/cm2 LIPUS augmented the healing rate of the drill hole than 30 mW/cm2 after 3-week LIPUS treatment, although did not further enhance the healing rate after 6-week LIPUS treatment. For ameliorating osteoporosis, 150 mW/cm2 LIPUS achieved more advantages over 30 mW/cm2 in improving bone density, microstructure and biomechanics 6 weeks after LIPUS intervention. In conclusion, LIPUS with an intensity of 30 mW/cm2 was sufficient to facilitate bone defect healing, but a higher intensity can be considered as a rapid trigger for osteoporotic bone repair. In addition, improving the intensity of LIPUS may be a potentially effective consideration for alleviation of osteoporosis, and the LIPUS regimen in the treatment of osteoporosis remains to be optimized.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to explore whether compensatory remodeling of the alveolar bone surface occurred during the buccal palatal movement of orthodontic teeth. We preliminarily explored whether corticotomy could activate or accelerate osteogenesis in the alveolar bone surface by measuring the expression of TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor-β1), which can facilitate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and regulate the maturity and formation of bone. Methods Sixty 10-week-old male Wistar rats were selected. In the orthodontic group, 20 rats were implanted with a constriction device between the maxillary first molars under general anesthesia. In the corticotomy group, 20 rats were implanted with a constriction device, and a palatal incision was made to penetrate the cortical bone. In the control group, 20 rats underwent no experimental operation except general anesthesia. After 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, the maxillary first molars and the surrounding alveolar bone were harvested, and coronal sections containing the apical mesial buccal root were prepared and observed using tetracycline fluorescence, HE staining and immunohistochemical staining for TGF-β1. Image-Pro Plus software was used to assess the immunohistochemical results, and SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used to analyze variance and perform the LSD test. Results The tetracycline fluorescence results showed that in the periosteum near the apical region, an obvious fluorescence signal was observed in the orthodontic group and the corticotomy group compared with the control group. In the orthodontic group and corticotomy group, HE staining showed that the morphology was similar to cube-shaped. The immunohistochemical results showed that TGF-β1 was significantly increased in the periosteum near the apical region in the orthodontic group and corticotomy group, and there were significant differences among the three groups. In addition, the expression of TGF-β1 in the periosteum in the orthodontic group and the corticotomy group gradually increased over time, reaching a peak on day 5 and slightly decreasing on day 7. Conclusion Osteogenesis occurred on the alveolar bone surface during the buccal palatal movement of orthodontic teeth, and corticotomy had a positive effect, and TGF-β1 was involved in this process.

Abstract
Fractures associated with osteoporosis are a major public health concern. Current treatments for fractures are limited to surgery or fixation, leading to long-term bedrest, which is linked to increased mortality. Alternatively, utilization of physical agents has been suggested as a promising therapeutic approach for fractures. Here, we examined the effects of ultrasound, radial extracorporeal shock waves, and electrical stimulation on normal or osteoporotic fracture healing. Femoral bone defects were created in normal or ovariectomized rats. Rats were divided into four groups: untreated, and treated with ultrasound, shock waves, or electrical stimulation after surgery. Samples were collected at 2 or 4 weeks after surgery, and the healing process was evaluated with micro-CT, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses. Ultrasound at intensities of 0.5 and 1.0 W/cm2 , but not 0.05 W/cm2 , accelerated new bone formation. Shock wave exposure also increased newly formed bone, but formed abnormal periosteal callus around the defect site. Conversely, electrical stimulation did not affect the healing process. Ultrasound exposure increased osteoblast activity and cell proliferation and decreased sclerostin-positive osteocytes. We demonstrated that higher-intensity ultrasound and radial extracorporeal shock waves accelerate fracture healing, but shock wave treatment may increase the risk of periosteal callus formation.

Abstract
The adaptation of trabecular bone microstructure to mechanical loads has been intensively investigated. However, loading-unrelated aspects of trabecular architecture remain unclear. We used synchrotron radiation-based X-ray microtomography to study the 3D microarchitecture of newly formed trabecular tissue in a defect produced in the cortical region of the rat tibia diaphysis, in the absence (7, 14, and 21 days) or the presence (21 days) of carbonated hydroxyapatite/alginate (cHA) microspheres. This work provides the first evidence that the woven bone trabecular network, formed during the healing process, displays a well-organized 3D microarchitecture consisting of nodes with 3 (3-N), 4 (4-N) and 5 (5-N) connecting trabeculae, with a mean relative abundance of (3-N)/(4-N)/(5-N) = 66/24/7, for the analyzed periods. The measured inter-trabecular angles (ITA) distribution presented a Gaussian profile, with mean value at 115° for 3-N nodes, and 105° for 4-N nodes, close to the angles of idealized 3D regular structures (120° and 109.5°, respectively). Changes in the dispersion of ITA distribution suggested that a highly symmetric trabecular fabric organized under tensegrity principles is formed early during the bone healing process. Post-implantation, cHA disaggregated into multiple fragments (~20-400 μm), stimulating osteoconduction and bone growth toward the interior of the medullary cavity. The presence of biomaterials in bone defects affected the trabecular dimensions; however, it did not interfere with the formation of geometrical motifs with topological parameters similar to those found in the sham-defects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The trabecular bone microstructure enables the tissue to meet the necessary mechanical and functional demands. However, the process of trabecular microarchitecture formation during healing, in the absence or presence of a bone graft, is not yet well understood. This work demonstrated that, from the beginning of its formation in cortical bone defects, the woven-bone trabecular network is spatially organized according to the principle of tensegrity. This microarchitecture is comprised of highly symmetric geometric motifs and is an intrinsic characteristic of trabecular growth, regardless of hierarchical scale or mechanical stimulation. The addition of a biodegradable nanostructured calcium phosphate graft did not disrupt trabecular microarchitecture; however, graft biodegradation should be controlled to optimize the reproduction of intrinsic trabecular motifs throughout the defect.

Gelatin-Modified Calcium/Strontium Hydrogen Phosphates Stimulate Bone Regeneration in Osteoblast/Osteoclast Co-Culture and in Osteoporotic Rat Femur Defects-In Vitro to In Vivo Translation. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25215103. [PMID: 33153127 PMCID: PMC7662833 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25215103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The development and characterization of biomaterials for bone replacement in case of large defects in preconditioned bone (e.g., osteoporosis) require close cooperation of various disciplines. Of particular interest are effects observed in vitro at the cellular level and their in vivo representation in animal experiments. In the present case, the material-based alteration of the ratio of osteoblasts to osteoclasts in vitro in the context of their co-cultivation was examined and showed equivalence to the material-based stimulation of bone regeneration in a bone defect of osteoporotic rats. Gelatin-modified calcium/strontium phosphates with a Ca:Sr ratio in their precipitation solutions of 5:5 and 3:7 caused a pro-osteogenic reaction on both levels in vitro and in vivo. Stimulation of osteoblasts and inhibition of osteoclast activity were proven during culture on materials with higher strontium content. The same material caused a decrease in osteoclast activity in vitro. In vivo, a positive effect of the material with increased strontium content was observed by immunohistochemistry, e.g., by significantly increased bone volume to tissue volume ratio, increased bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) expression, and significantly reduced receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio. In addition, material degradation and bone regeneration were examined after 6 weeks using stage scans with ToF-SIMS and µ-CT imaging. The remaining material in the defects and strontium signals, which originate from areas exceeding the defect area, indicate the incorporation of strontium ions into the surrounding mineralized tissue. Thus, the material inherent properties (release of biologically active ions, solubility and degradability, mechanical strength) directly influenced the cellular reaction in vitro and also bone regeneration in vivo. Based on this, in the future, materials might be synthesized and specifically adapted to patient-specific needs and their bone status.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is critical for bone differentiation and regeneration. Tideglusib, a selective FDA approved glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibitor, has been shown to promote dentine formation, but its effect on bone has not been examined. Our objective was to study the effect of localized Tideglusib administration on bone repair. Bone healing between Tideglusib treated and control mice was analysed at 7, 14 and 28 days postoperative (PO) with microCT, dynamic histomorphometry and immunohistology. There was a local downregulation of GSK-3β in Tideglusib animals, resulting in a significant increase in the amount of new bone formation with both enhanced cortical bone bridging and medullary bone deposition. The bone formation in the Tideglusib group was characterized by early osteoblast differentiation with down-regulation of GSK-3β at day 7 and 14, and higher accumulation of active β-catenin at day 14. Here, for the first time, we show a positive effect of Tideglusib on bone formation through the inactivation of GSK-3β. Furthermore, the findings suggest that Tideglusib does not interfere with precursor cell recruitment and commitment, contrary to other GSK-3β antagonists such as lithium chloride. Taken together, the results indicate that Tideglusib could be used directly at a fracture site during the initial intraoperative internal fixation without the need for further surgery, injection or drug delivery system. This FDA-approved drug may be useful in the future for the prevention of non-union in patients presenting with a high risk for fracture-healing.

Combined effect of teriparatide and an anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody on bone defect regeneration in mice with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Bone 2020; 139:115525. [PMID: 32645445 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 06/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of single or combination therapy of teriparatide (TPTD) and a monoclonal antibody against the murine receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (anti-RANKL Ab) on cancellous and cortical bone regeneration in a mouse model of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). METHODS C57BL/6 J mice (24 weeks of age) were divided into five groups: (1) the SHAM group: sham operation + saline; (2) the prednisolone (PSL) group: PSL + saline; (3) the TPTD group: PSL + TPTD; (4) the Ab group: PSL + anti-RANKL Ab; and (5) the COMB group: PSL + TPTD + anti-RANKL Ab (n = 8 per group). With the exception of the SHAM group, 7.5 mg of PSL was inserted subcutaneously into mice, to generate a mouse model of GIOP. Four weeks after insertion, bone defects with a diameter of 0.9 mm were created to assess bone regeneration on both femoral metaphysis (cancellous bone) and diaphysis (cortical bone). After surgery, therapeutic intervention was continued for 4 weeks. Saline (200 μl) or TPTD (40 μg/kg) was injected subcutaneously five times per week, whereas the anti-RANKL Ab (5 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously once on the day after surgery. Subsequently, the following analyses were performed: microstructural assessment of bone regeneration and bone mineral density (BMD) measurement via micro-computed tomography, and histological, histomorphometrical, and biomechanical analyses with nanoindentation. RESULTS The COMB group showed the highest lumbar spine BMD increase (vs. the PSL, TPTD, and Ab groups). The volume of regenerated cancellous bone at the bone defect site was higher in the COMB group compared with the PSL, TPTD, and Ab group. The volume of the regenerated cortical bone was significantly higher in the COMB group compared with the PSL group, and its hardness was significantly higher in the COMB group compared with the PSL and TPTD groups. CONCLUSION In a mouse model of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, the combination therapy of TPTD plus the anti-RANKL Ab increased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and regenerated cancellous bone volume compared with single administration of each agent, and also increased regenerated cortical bone strength compared with single administration of TPTD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fractures are painful and disabling injuries that can occur due to trauma, especially when compounded with pathologic conditions, such as osteoporosis in older adults. It is well documented that acute pain management plays an integral role in the treatment of orthopedic patients. There is no current therapy available to completely control post-fracture pain that does not interfere with bone healing or have major adverse effects. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the understanding of pain behaviors post-fracture. RECENT FINDINGS We review animal models of bone fracture and the assays that have been developed to assess and quantify spontaneous and evoked pain behaviors, including the two most commonly used assays: dynamic weight bearing and von Frey testing to assess withdrawal from a cutaneous (hindpaw) stimulus. Additionally, we discuss the assessment and quantification of fracture pain in the clinical setting, including the use of numeric pain rating scales, satisfaction with pain relief, and other biopsychosocial factor measurements. We review how pain behaviors in animal models and clinical cases can change with the use of current pain management therapies. We conclude by discussing the use of pain behavioral analyses in assessing potential therapeutic treatment options for addressing acute and chronic fracture pain without compromising fracture healing. There currently is a lack of effective treatment options for fracture pain that reliably relieve pain without potentially interfering with bone healing. Continued development and verification of reliable measurements of fracture pain in both pre-clinical and clinical settings is an essential aspect of continued research into novel analgesic treatments for fracture pain.

Abstract
Complications related to treatment of long bone fractures still stand as a major challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Elucidation of the mechanisms of bone healing and development, and the subsequent alteration of these mechanisms to improve outcomes, typically requires animal models as an intermediary between in vitro and human clinical studies. Murine models are some of the most commonly used in translational research, and mouse fracture models are particularly diverse, offering a wide variety of customization with distinct benefits and limitations depending on the study. This review critically examines three common femur fracture models in the mouse, namely cortical hole, 3-point fracture (Einhorn), and segmental bone defect. We lay out the general procedure for execution of each model, evaluate the practical implications and important advantages/disadvantages of each and describe recent innovations. Furthermore, we explore the applications that each model is best adapted for in the context of the current state of murine orthopaedic research.

Abstract
Tissue engineering represents a promising alternative for reconstructive surgical procedures especially for the repair of bone defects that do not regenerate spontaneously. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the elastin matrix (E24/50 and E96/37) incorporated with hydroxyapatite (HA) or morphogenetic protein (BMP) on the bone repair process in the distal metaphysis of rat femur. The groups were: control group (CG), hydrolyzed elastin matrix at 50°C/24h (E24/50), E24/50 + HA (E24/50/HA), E24/50 + BMP (E24/50/BMP), hydrolyzed elastin matrix at 37°C/96h (E96/37), E96/37 + HA (E96/37/HA), E96/37 + BMP (E96/37/BMP). Macroscopic and radiographic analyses showed longitudinal integrity of the femur in all groups without fractures or bone deformities. Microtomographically, all groups demonstrated partial closure by mineralized tissue except for the E96/37/HA group with hyperdense thin bridge formation interconnecting the edges of the ruptured cortical. Histologically, there was no complete cortical recovery in any group, but partial closure with trabecular bone. In defects filled with biomaterials, no chronic inflammatory response or foreign body type was observed. The mean volume of new bone formed was statistically significant higher in the E96/37/HA and E24/50 groups (71.28 ± 4.26 and 66.40 ± 3.69, respectively) than all the others. In the confocal analysis, it was observed that all groups presented new bone markings formed during the experimental period, being less evident in the CG group. Von Kossa staining revealed intense calcium deposits distributed in all groups. Qualitative analysis of collagen fibers under polarized light showed a predominance of red-orange birefringence in the newly regenerated bone with no difference between groups. It was concluded that the E24/50 and E96/37/HA groups promoted, with greater speed, the bone repair process in the distal metaphysis of rat femur.

The combined effects of teriparatide and anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody on bone defect regeneration in ovariectomized mice. Bone 2020; 130:115077. [PMID: 31622773 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.115077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2019] [Revised: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of teriparatide (TPTD) and anti-murine receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand monoclonal antibody (anti-RANKL Ab) on both cancellous and cortical bone healing in ovariectomized mice. METHODS Thirteen-week-old mice were divided into the sham-operated group (n=11) or the ovariectomized group (n=44). At 1 month post-operation, all mice underwent bone defect surgery on the left femoral metaphysis (cancellous bone healing model) and right femoral mid-diaphysis (cortical bone healing model). After creating the bone defects, all ovariectomized mice were assigned to one of four groups to receive 1) saline (5 times a week; CNT group), 2) TPTD (40μg/kg 5 times a week; TPTD group), 3) anti-RANKL Ab (5mg/kg once; Ab group), or 4) a combination of TPTD and anti-RANKL Ab (COMB group). The following analyses were performed: Time-course microstructural analysis of healing in both cancellous and cortical bone in the bone defect, measuring the volumetric bone mineral density and the cortical bone thickness of the tibia as a representative of whole body bone with the use of micro-computed tomography, and histological analysis. RESULTS Regeneration of cancellous bone volume in the COMB group was the highest among the four groups, and combined treatment accelerated the formation of medullary callus during the early phase of bone regeneration. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the regeneration of cortical bone volume during the early phase of bone regeneration among the four groups. Furthermore, lamellar bone was not well identified in the all four groups. Volumetric bone mineral density in the tibia in the COMB group was significantly higher compared with that in the CNT and TPTD groups and tended to be higher compared with that in the Ab group. The mean values of cortical bone thickness in the TPTD and COMB groups were significantly higher than that in the CNT group. CONCLUSION In a mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, combination therapy of TPTD and anti-RANKL Ab accelerates regeneration of cancellous bone more effectively than either agent alone during the early phase of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy that causes debilitating bone disease and fractures, in which TGFβ plays a central role. Current treatments do not repair existing damage and fractures remain a common occurrence. We developed a novel low tumor phase murine model mimicking the plateau phase in patients as we hypothesized this would be an ideal time to treat with a bone anabolic. Using in vivo μCT we show substantial and rapid bone lesion repair (and prevention) driven by SD-208 (TGFβ receptor I kinase inhibitor) and chemotherapy (bortezomib and lenalidomide) in mice with human U266-GFP-luc myeloma. We discovered that lesion repair occurred via an intramembranous fracture repair-like mechanism and that SD-208 enhanced collagen matrix maturation to significantly improve fracture resistance. Lesion healing was associated with VEGFA expression in woven bone, reduced osteocyte-derived PTHrP, increased osteoblasts, decreased osteoclasts, and lower serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b). SD-208 also completely prevented bone lesion development in mice with aggressive JJN3 tumors, and was more effective than an anti-TGFβ neutralizing antibody (1D11). We also discovered that SD-208 promoted osteoblastic differentiation (and overcame the TGFβ-induced block in osteoblastogenesis) in myeloma patient bone marrow stromal cells in vitro, comparable to normal donors. The improved bone quality and fracture-resistance with SD-208 provides incentive for clinical translation to improve myeloma patient quality of life by reducing fracture risk and fatality. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
By differentiating into and the balance being regulated between M1 (pro-inflammatory) and M2 (anti-inflammatory) heterogeneous populations, macrophages play critical roles during the host immune response in various physiological contexts in both health and diseases. Besides regulating innate and adaptive immune capacity, macrophages are also decisively involved in tissue homeostasis. However, how resident macrophages are regulated after tissue damages is still far from elucidation. In the present study, we found that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) apparently promote bone defect rehabilitation in vivo via skewing differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDMs) towards anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. In vitro data demonstrated that although ADSCs have the potential to differentiate to osteoblasts and adipose cells by using standard tissue culture-differentiating conditions, these mesenchymal progenitors are mainly regulated to differentiate into osteoblasts with overexpressed runt-related transcription factor 2, osteoprotegerin, osterix, and downregulated receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand in the presence of BMDMs-conditioned medium. Whereas BMDMs are polarized toward M2 macrophages with higher levels of arginase 1 and mannose receptor, but lower levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor-α when cocultured with ADSCs. In short, all these findings collectively demonstrated that ADSCs and resident host cells can synergistically contribute to the bony repair through mutual regulation of their differentiation and cytokine secretion.

Exploring conditions that make cortical bone geometry optimal for physiological loading. Biomech Model Mechanobiol 2019; 18:1335-1349.

Abstract
While physiological loading on lower long bones changes during bone development, the bone cross section either remains circular or slowly changes from nearly circular to other shapes such as oval and roughly triangular. Bone is said to be an optimal structure, where strength is maximized using the optimal distribution of bone mass (also called Wolff's law). One of the most appropriate mathematical validations of this law would be a structural optimization-based formulation where total strain energy is minimized against a mass and a space constraint. Assuming that the change in cross section during bone development and homeostasis after adulthood is direct result of the change in physiological loading, this work investigates what optimization problem formulation (collectively, design variables, objective function, constraints, loading conditions, etc.) results in mathematically optimal solutions that resemble bones under actual physiological loading. For this purpose, an advanced structural optimization-based computational model for cortical bone development and defect repair is presented. In the optimization problem, overall bone stiffness is maximized first against a mass constraint, and then also against a polar first moment of area constraint that simultaneously constrains both mass and space. The investigation is completed in two stages. The first stage is developmental stage when physiological loading on lower long bones (tibia) is a random combination of axial, bending and torsion. The topology optimization applied to this case with the area moment constraint results into circular and elliptical cross sections similar to that found in growing mouse or human. The second investigation stage is bone homeostasis reached in adulthood when the physiological loading has a fixed pattern. A drill hole defect is applied to the adult mouse bone, which would disrupt the homeostasis. The optimization applied after the defect interestingly brings the damaged section back to the original intact geometry. The results, however, show that cortical bone geometry is optimal for the physiological loading only when there is also a constraint on polar moment of area. Further numerical experiments show that application of torsion along with the gait-analysis-based physiological loading improves the results, which seems to indicate that the cortical bone geometry is optimal for some amount of torsion in addition to the gait-based physiological loading. This work has a potential to be extended to bone growth/development models and fracture healing models, where topology optimization and polar moment of area constraint have not been introduced earlier.

HAND SURGERY & REHABILITATION 2018; 38:91-96.

Abstract
Extra-articular fractures of the distal radius with posterior displacement are typically treated with volar locking plates. However, this fixation method does not address the posterior comminution, which seems to have no impact on the final result. The purpose of this study was to determine the fate of the posterior comminution. This was a retrospective study of 22 patients over 50 years old with a distal radius fracture. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan was performed to evaluate the comminution. All fractures were fixed with a volar locking plate. All patients underwent a bone density scan. Patients were reviewed at 6 months post-operative to determine their clinical, radiological and functional outcomes. The CT scan was performed again to determine the fate of the comminution. At 6 months post-operative, 82% of patients had an oval metaphyseal defect. The mean volume of this defect was 1.86 mL. The contents of this defect most closely resembled fat. There was no statistical link between the defect's volume and the various parameters studied. On the other hand, the defect's density was positively related to the functional outcome and negatively related to the patients' body mass index. Because of the compression experienced by the cancellous bone, a distal metaphyseal defect often persists after consolidation in dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The posterior comminution is ultimately of little consequence.

Abstract
The main purpose of regenerative biology is to improve human health by exploiting cellular and molecular mechanisms favoring tissue repair. In recent years, non-mammalian vertebrates have emerged as powerful model organisms to tackle the problem of tissue regeneration. Here, we analyze the process of bone repair in metamorphosing Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles subjected to traumatic skull injury. Five days after skull perforation, a dense and highly vascularized mesenchymal is apparent over the injury site. Using an in vivo bone staining procedure based on independent pulses of Alizarin red and Calcein green, we show that the deposition of new bone matrix completely closes the wound in 15 days. The absence of cartilage implies that bone repair follows an intramembranous ossification route. Collagen second harmonic imaging reveals that while a well-organized lamellar type of bone is deposited during development, a woven type of bone is produced during the early-phase of the regeneration process. Osteoblasts lying against the regenerating bone robustly express fibrillar collagen 1a1, SPARC and Dlx5. These analyses establish Xenopus tropicalis as a new model system to improve traumatic skull injury recovery.

Abstract
A fracture is the most dangerous complication of osteoporosis in patients because the associated disability and mortality rates are high. Osteoporosis impairs fracture healing and prognosis, but how intramembranous ossification (IO) or endochondral ossification (EO) during fracture healing are affected and whether these two kinds of ossification are different between glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) and estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis (EDOP) are poorly understood. In this study, we established two bone repair models that exhibited repair via IO or EO and compared the pathological progress of each under GIOP and EDOP. In the cortical drill-hole model, which is repaired through IO, osteogenic differentiation was more seriously impaired in EDOP at the early stage than in GIOP. In the periosteum scratch model, in which EO is replicated, chondrocyte hypertrophy progression was delayed in both GIOP and EDOP. The in vitro results were consistent with the in vivo results. Our study is the first to establish bone repair models in which IO and EO occur separately, and the results strongly describe the differences in bone repair between GIOP and EDOP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a single or combination therapy of teriparatide (TPTD) and anti-RANKL Ab (anti-murine receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand monoclonal antibody) on the regeneration of both cancellous and cortical bone. METHODS Nine-week-old mice underwent bone defect surgery on the left femoral metaphysis (cancellous-bone healing model) and right femoral mid-diaphysis (cortical-bone healing model). After surgery, the mice were assigned to 1 of 4 groups to receive 1) saline (5 times a week; CNT group), 2) TPTD (40μg/kg 5 times a week; TPTD group), 3) anti-RANKL Ab (5mg/kg once; Ab group), or 4) a combination of TPTD and anti-RANKL Ab (COMB group). The following analyses were performed: Time-course microstructural analysis of healing in both cancellous and cortical bone in the bone defect, the volumetric bone mineral density of the tibia with micro-computed tomography, histological, histomorphometrical, and biomechanical analysis of regenerated bone. RESULTS Regeneration of cancellous bone volume in the COMB group was the highest among the 4 groups, and this combined administration prompted medullary callus formation in the early phase of bone regeneration. On the other hand, regeneration of cortical bone volume in the COMB group was significantly higher than in the Ab group and was almost same as in the TPTD group. Histological analysis showed remaining woven bones, cartilage matrix, and immature lamellar bone in the COMB and Ab groups. However, biomechanical analysis showed that hardness and Young's modulus of regenerated cortical bone in the COMB group was not lower than in both the CNT and TPTD groups. Volumetric bone mineral density in the tibia was significantly increased in the COMB group compared with the other 3 groups. CONCLUSION In the early phase of bone regeneration, the combination of TPTD and anti-RANKL Ab accelerates regeneration of cancellous bone in bone defects and increases cancellous bone mass in the tibia more effectively than either agent does individually, but these additive effects are not observed in the regeneration of cortical bone.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Strontium ranelate treatment is known to prevent fractures. Here, we showed that strontium ranelate treatment enhances bone healing and affects bone cellular activities differently in intact and healing bone compartments: Bone formation was increased only in healing compartment, while resorption was reduced in healing and normal bone compartments. INTRODUCTION Systemic administration of strontium ranelate (SrRan) accelerates the healing of bone defects; however, controversy about its action on bone formation remains. We hypothesize that SrRan could affect bone formation differently in normal mature bone or in the bone healing process. METHODS Proximal tibia bone defects were created in 6-month-old female rats, which orally received SrRan (625 mg/kg/day, 5/7 days) or vehicle (control groups) for 4, 8, or 12 weeks. Bone samples were analyzed by micro-computed tomography and histomorphometry in various regions, i.e., metaphyseal 2nd spongiosa, a region close to the defect, within the healing defect and in cortical defect bridging region. Additionally, we evaluated the quality of the new bone formed by quantitative backscattered electron imaging and by red picosirius histology. RESULTS Healing of the bone defect was characterized by a rapid onset of bone formation without cartilage formation. Cortical defect bridging was detected earlier compared with healing of trabecular defect. In the healing zone, SrRan stimulated bone formation early and laterly decreased bone resorption improving the healing of the cortical and trabecular compartment without deleterious effects on bone quality. By contrast, in the metaphyseal compartment, SrRan only decreased bone resorption from week 8 without any change in bone formation, leading to little progressive increase of the metaphyseal trabecular bone volume. CONCLUSIONS SrRan affects bone formation differently in normal mature bone or in the bone healing process. Despite this selective action, this led to similar increased bone volume in both compartments without deleterious effects on the newly bone-formed quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the process of bone fracture healing, inflammation is thought to be an essential process that precedes bone formation and remodeling. We review recent studies on bone fracture healing from an osteoimmunological point of view. RECENT FINDINGS Based on previous observations that many types of immune cells infiltrate into the bone injury site and release a variety of molecules, recent studies have addressed the roles of specific immune cell subsets. Macrophages and interleukin (IL)-17-producing γδ T cells enhance bone healing, whereas CD8+ T cells impair bone repair. Additionally, IL-10-producing B cells may contribute to bone healing by suppressing excessive and/or prolonged inflammation. Although the involvement of other cells and molecules has been suggested, the precise underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Accumulating evidence has begun to reveal the deeper picture of bone fracture healing. Further studies are required for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for bone fracture.

Abstract
Low-intensity whole-body vibration (LIWBV) may stimulate bone healing, but the involvement of vascular ingrowth, which is essential for bone regeneration, has not been well examined. We thus investigated the LIWBV effect on vascularization during early-stage bone healing. Mice aged 13 weeks were subjected to cortical drilling on tibial bone. Two days after surgery (day 0), mice were exposed daily to sine-wave LIWBV at 30 Hz and 0.1 g peak-to-peak acceleration for 20 min/day (Vib) or were sham-treated (sham). Following vascular casting with a zirconium-based contrast agent on days 6, 9, or 12 and sacrifice, vascular and bone images were obtained by K-edge subtraction micro-CT using synchrotron lights. Bone regeneration advanced more in the Vib group from days 9 to 12. The vascular volume fraction decreased from days 6 to 9 in both groups; however, from days 9 to 12, it was increased in shams, while it stabilized in the Vib group. The vascular volume fraction tended to be or was smaller in the Vib group on days 6 and 12. The vessel number density was higher on day 9 but lower on day 12 in the Vib group. These results suggest that the LIWBV-promoted bone repair is associated with the modulation of vascularization, but additional studies are needed to determine the causality of this association.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Studies of fracture healing have mainly dealt with shaft fractures, both experimentally and clinically. In contrast, most patients have metaphyseal fractures. There is an increasing awareness that metaphyseal fractures heal partly through mechanisms specific to cancellous bone. Several new models for the study of cancellous bone healing have recently been presented. This review summarizes our current knowledge of cancellous fracture healing. Methods - We performed a review of the literature after doing a systematic literature search. Results - Cancellous bone appears to heal mainly via direct, membranous bone formation that occurs freely in the marrow, probably mostly arising from local stem cells. This mechanism appears to be specific for cancellous bone, and could be named inter-trabecular bone formation. This kind of bone formation is spatially restricted and does not extend more than a few mm outside the injured region. Usually no cartilage is seen, although external callus and cartilage formation can be induced in meta-physeal fractures by mechanical instability. Inter-trabecular bone formation seems to be less sensitive to anti-inflammatory treatment than shaft fractures. Interpretation - The unique characteristics of inter-trabecular bone formation in metaphyseal fractures can lead to differences from shaft healing regarding the effects of age, loading, or drug treatment. This casts doubt on generalizations about fracture healing based solely on shaft fracture models.

J Bone Miner Res 2016; 31:1676-87. [PMID: 26990430 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.2839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2015] [Revised: 03/11/2016] [Accepted: 03/16/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) participates in bone remodeling. Both Fgfr3 global knockout and activated mice showed decreased bone mass with increased osteoclast formation or bone resorption activity. To clarify the direct effect of FGFR3 on osteoclasts, we specifically deleted Fgfr3 in osteoclast lineage cells. Adult mice with Fgfr3 deficiency in osteoclast lineage cells (mutant [MUT]) showed increased bone mass. In a drilled-hole defect model, the bone remodeling of the holed area in cortical bone was also impaired with delayed resorption of residual woven bone in MUT mice. In vitro assay demonstrated that there was no significant difference between the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts derived from wild-type and Fgfr3-deficient bone marrow monocytes, suggesting that FGFR3 had no remarkable effect on osteoclast formation. The bone resorption activity of Fgfr3-deficient osteoclasts was markedly decreased accompanying with downregulated expressions of Trap, Ctsk, and Mmp 9. The upregulated activity of osteoclastic bone resorption by FGF2 in vitro was also impaired in Fgfr3-deficient osteoclasts, indicating that FGFR3 may participate in the regulation of bone resorption activity of osteoclasts by FGF2. Reduced adhesion but not migration in osteoclasts with Fgfr3 deficiency may be responsible for the impaired bone resorption activity. Our study for the first time genetically shows the direct positive regulation of FGFR3 on osteoclastic bone resorption. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been regarded as a risk for bone health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CKD on bone defect repair in rats. Uremia was induced by subtotal renal ablation, and serum levels of BUN and PTH were significantly elevated four weeks after the second renal surgery. Calvarial defects of 5-mm diameter were created and implanted with or without deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). Micro-CT and histological analyses consistently revealed a decreased newly regenerated bone volume for CKD rats after 4 and 8 weeks. In addition, 1.4-mm-diameter cortical bone defects were established in the distal end of femora and filled with gelatin sponge. CKD rats exhibited significantly lower values of regenerated bone and bone mineral density (BMD) within the cortical gap after 2 and 4 weeks. Moreover, histomorphometric analysis showed an increase in both osteoblast number (N.Ob/B.Pm) and osteoclast number (N.Oc/B.Pm) in CKD groups due to hyperparathyroidism. Notably, collagen maturation was delayed in CKD rats as verified by Masson’s Trichrome staining. These data indicate that declined renal function negatively affects bone regeneration in both calvarial and femoral defects.

Abstract
Background New tissue engineering strategies for bone regeneration need to be investigated in a relevant preclinical large animal model before making the translation into human patients. Therefore, our interdisciplinary group established a simplified large animal screening model for intramembranous bone defect regeneration in cancellous and cortical bone. Methods Related to a well-established model of cancellous drill hole defect regeneration in sheep, both the proximal and distal epimetaphyseal regions of the femur and the humerus were used bilaterally for eight drill hole cancellous defects (Ø 6 mm, 15 mm depth). Several improvements of the surgical procedure and equipment for an easier harvest of samples were invented. For the inclusion of cortical defect regeneration, a total of eight unicortical diaphyseal drill holes (6 mm Ø) were placed in the proximal-lateral and distal-medial parts of the metacarpal (MC) and metatarsal (MT) diaphyseal bone bilaterally. Acting moments within a normal gait cycle in the musculoskeletal lower limb model were compared with the results of the biomechanical in vitro torsion test until failure to ensure a low accidental fracture risk of utilized bones (ANOVA, p < 0.05). The model was tested in vivo, using thirteen adult, female, black-face sheep (Ø 66 kg; ± 5 kg; age ≥ 2.5 years). In a two-step surgical procedure 16 drill holes were performed for the investigation of two different time points within one animal. Defects were left empty, augmented with autologous cancellous bone or soft bone graft substitutes. Results The in vitro tests confirmed this model a high comparability between drilled MC and MT bones and a high safety margin until fracture. The exclusion of one animal from the in vivo study, due to a spiral fracture of the left MC bone led to a tolerable failure rate of 8 %. Conclusions As a screening tool, promising biomaterials can be tested in this cancellous and cortical bone defect model prior to the application in a more complex treatment site.

Abstract
Strontium ranelate (SrR) has both bone anabolic and anti-resorption properties and has therefore the potential to increase the healing of bone defects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of systemic treatment with SrR during the healing of cortical bone defects in rats. In addition, the vertebral bodies were examined in order to elucidate the effect of short-term treatment with SrR on intact trabecular bone. Sixty 16-week-old female Wistar rats were randomized into four groups. A cylindrical defect was drilled through the anterior cortex of the mid-femoral diaphysis in both hind limbs. Two of the groups were treated with SrR (900 mg/kg b.w.) mixed into the food and two groups served as controls. The animals were euthanized after either 3 or 8 weeks of treatment. Healing of the defects was analyzed with µCT, mechanical testing, and stereology. Treatment with SrR resulted in increased thickness of the defects after 3 weeks of treatment, whereas no effect on bone volume fraction (BV/TV), mechanical properties (maximum strength and maximum stiffness), periosteal callus volume, or osteoclast-covered bone surfaces (Oc.S/BS) after either 3 or 8 weeks of treatment was found. Furthermore, SrR increased the bone material density (ρ) of the vertebral bodies, and tended to increase BV/TV after 8 weeks of treatment (p = 0.087). The mechanical properties of the vertebral bodies were not influenced by SrR treatment. In conclusion, 3 weeks of treatment with SrR increased the thickness of the healing mid-femoral cortical bone defects in rats, but did not influence BV/TV, mechanical properties, periosteal callus volume, or Oc.S/BS after either 3 or 8 weeks. Furthermore, SrR had no effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the vertebral bodies.

Abstract
The effectiveness of intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and exposure to whole-body vibration on osteoporotic fracture healing has been previously investigated, but data on their concurrent use are lacking. Thus, we evaluated the effects of intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone, whole-body vibration, and their combination on bone repair in osteoporotic mice. Noise-like whole-body vibration with a broad frequency range was used instead of conventional sine-wave whole-body vibration at a specific frequency. Mice were ovariectomized at 9 weeks of age and subjected to drill-hole surgery in the right tibial diaphysis at 11 weeks. The animals were divided into four groups (n = 12 each): a control group, and groups treated with intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone, noise-like whole-body vibration, and both. From postoperative day 2, the groups treated with intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration were subcutaneously administered parathyroid hormone at a dose of 30 µg/kg/day. The groups treated with noise-like whole-body vibration and groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration were exposed to noise-like whole-body vibration at a root mean squared acceleration of 0.3g and frequency components of 45–100 Hz for 20 min/day. Following 18 days of interventions, the right tibiae were harvested, and the regenerated bone was analyzed by micro-computed tomography and nanoindentation testing. Compared with the control group, callus volume fraction was 40% higher in groups treated with intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and 73% higher in groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration, and callus thickness was 35% wider in groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration. Indentation modulus was 46% higher in groups treated with noise-like whole-body vibration and 43% higher in groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration, and hardness was 31% higher in groups treated with both intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration compared with the control group. There was no interaction between the two treatments for both structure and mechanical indexes. The main effects of intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone and noise-like whole-body vibration on bone repair included increased bone formation and enhanced mechanical function of regenerated bone, respectively. The combined treatment resulted in further regeneration of bone with high indentation modulus and hardness, suggesting the therapeutic potential of the combined use of noise-like whole-body vibration and intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone for enhancing osteoporotic bone healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The invention of the locking plate technology leads to alterations of treatment strategies at metaphyseal fracture sites with the concept of spontaneous remodeling of trabecular bone voids. Whereas trabecular regeneration has been proven in experimental animal studies, no histologic data exist on human fracture healing with special emphasis on bone voids. METHODS In order to qualify the trabecular bone remodeling capacity in vivo, bone specimens from the metaphyseal bone void were analyzed 14 months after trauma using quantitative histomorphometry. Twenty-five patients with an unstable dorsally displaced distal radius fracture were fixed with a palmar locking plate without additional bone graft or substitute. At implant removal, specimens from the previous compression void were harvested with a trephine in a volar-dorsal direction. In 16 patients, histomorphometric analysis could be performed, comparing the dorsal trabecular network with the volar, non-compressed ultrastructure. RESULTS Significant differences for bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (TbN) and trabecular separation (TbSp), but not for trabecular thickness (TbTh) and osteoid volume/total volume (OV/TV), were detected. Neither patient age, defect size nor gender had a significant influence on bone remodeling. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that trabecular bone remodeling does not lead to pre-trauma bone quality in metaphyseal bone compression voids following reduction and application of a locking plate.

Abstract
Accelerating fracture healing during bed rest allows early mobilization and avoids prolonged fracture healing times. We tested the hypothesis that stimulating angiogenesis with deferoxamine (DFO) mitigates the unloading-induced reduction in early-stage bone repair. Rats aged 12 weeks were subjected to cortical drilling on their tibial diaphysis under anesthesia and treated with hindlimb unloading (HU), HU and DFO administration (DFOHU), or weight bearing (WB) for 5 or 10 days (HU5/10, DFOHU5/10, WB5/10; n = 8 per groups) until sacrifice for vascular casting with a zirconium dioxide-based contrast agent. Taking advantage of its absorption discontinuity at the K-absorption edge, vascular and bone images in the drill-hole defects were acquired by synchrotron radiation subtraction CT. Bone repair was reduced in HU rats. The bone volume fraction (B.Vf) was 88% smaller in HU5 and 42% smaller in HU10 than in WB5/10. The bone segment densities (B.Seg) were 97% smaller in HU5 and 141% larger in HU10 than in WB5/10, and bone thickness (B.Th) was 38% smaller in HU10 than in WB10. The vascular volume fraction (V.Vf) was 35% and the mean vessel diameter (V.D) was 13% smaller in HU10 than in WB10. When compared according to categorized vessel sizes, V.Vf in the diameter ranges 20-30, 30-40, and >40 μm were smaller in HU10 than in WB10, and V.Seg in the diameter range >40 μm was smaller in HU10 than in WB10. In contrast, there was no difference in B.Vf between DFOHU5/10 and WB5/10 and in V.Vf between DFOHU10 and WB10, though B.Seg remained 86% smaller in DFOHU5 and 94% larger in DFOHU10 than in WB5/10, and B.Th and V.D were 23% and 14% lower in DFOHU10 than in WB10. Vessel size-specific V.Vf in the diameter ranges 10-20 and 20-30 μm was larger in DFOHU5 than in HU5. In conclusion, the enhanced angiogenic ingrowth mitigates the reduction in bone repair during mechanical unloading.

Abstract
A topically used Chinese herbal paste, namely, CDNR, was designed to facilitate fracture healing which is usually not addressed in general hospital care. From our in vitro studies, CDNR significantly inhibited the release of nitric oxide from RAW264.7 cells by 51 to 77%. This indicated its anti-inflammatory effect. CDNR also promoted the growth of bone cells by stimulating the proliferation of UMR106 cells up to 18%. It also increased the biomechanical strength of the healing bone in a drill-hole defect rat model by 16.5% significantly. This result revealed its in vivo efficacy on facilitation of bone healing. Furthermore, the detection of the chemical markers of CDNR in the skin and muscle of the treatment area demonstrated its transdermal properties. However, CDNR did not affect the bone turnover markers in serum of the rats. With its anti-inflammatory and bone formation properties, CDNR is found effective in promoting bone healing.

Abstract
Bone is a regenerative tissue with an innate ability to self-remodel in response to environmental stimuli and the need to repair damage. Rodent models of fracture healing, and in particular genetic mouse models, can be used to study the contributions of specific molecular switches to skeletal repair, as well as to recreate and exacerbate biological development and repair mechanisms in postnatal skeletons. Here, we describe methodology for producing fully stabilized, single-cortex defects in mouse femurs to study mechanisms of intramembranous bone regeneration.

Abstract
Low dose microcomputed tomography (μCT) is a recently matured technique that enables the study of longitudinal bone healing and the testing of experimental treatments for bone repair. This imaging technique has been used for studying craniofacial repair in mice but not in an orthopedic context. This is mainly due to the size of the defects (approximately 1.0 mm) in long bone, which heal rapidly and may thus negatively impact the assessment of the effectiveness of experimental treatments. We developed a longitudinal low dose μCT scan analysis method combined with a new image segmentation and extraction software using Hounsfield unit (HU) scores to quantitatively monitor bone healing in small femoral cortical defects in live mice. We were able to reproducibly quantify bone healing longitudinally over time with three observers. We used high speed intramedullary reaming to prolong healing in order to circumvent the rapid healing typical of small defects. Bone healing prolongation combined with μCT imaging to study small bone defects in live mice thus shows potential as a promising tool for future preclinical research on bone healing.

Abstract
The repair of bone defects is of particular interest for orthopedic, oral, maxillofacial, and dental surgery. Bone loss requiring reconstruction is conventionally addressed through bone grafting. Depending on the size and the location of the defect, this method has limits and risks. Biomaterials can offer an alternative and have features supporting bone repair. Here, we propose to evaluate the cellular penetration and bone formation of new macroporous beads based on pullulan/dextran that has been supplemented with nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite in a rat model. Cross-linked beads of 300–500 µm diameters were used in a lateral femoral condyle defect and analyzed by magnetic resonance imaging, micro-computed tomography, and histology in comparison to the empty defects 15, 30, and 70 days after implantation. Inflammation was absent for both conditions. For empty defects, cellularisation and mineralization started from the periphery of the defect. For the defects containing beads, cellular structures filling out the spaces between the scaffolds with increasing interconnectivity and trabecular-like organization were observed over time. The analysis of calcified sections showed increased mineralization over time for both conditions, but was more pronounced for the samples containing beads. Bone Mineral Density and Bone Mineral Content were both significantly higher at day 70 for the beads in comparison to empty defects as well as compared with earlier time points. Analysis of newly formed tissue around the beads showed an increase of osteoid tissue, measured as percentage of the defect surface. This study suggests that the use of beads for the repair of small size defects in bone may be expanded on to meet the clinical need for a ready-to-use fill-up material that can favor bone formation and mineralization, as well as promote vessel ingrowth into the defect site.
