Abstract
Estrogen (17β-estradiol) deficiency post-menopause alters bone homeostasis whereby bone resorption by osteoclasts exceeds bone formation by osteoblasts, leading to osteoporosis in females. We established an in vitro model to examine the consequences of estrogen withdrawal (E2-WD) on osteoclasts derived from the mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line and utilized it to investigate the mechanism behind the enhanced osteoclast activity post-menopause. We found that a greater population of osteoclasts that underwent E2-WD contained a podosome belt necessary for osteoclasts to adhere and resorb bone and possessed elevated resorptive activity compared to osteoclasts exposed to estrogen (E2) continuously. Our results show that compared to osteoclasts that received E2 continuously, those that underwent E2-WD had a faster rate of microtubule (MT) growth, reduced RhoA activation, and shorter podosome lifespan. Thus, altered podosome and MT dynamics induced by the withdrawal of estrogen supports podosome belt assembly/stability in osteoclasts, which may explain their enhanced bone resorption activity.

Abstract
Bones serve mechanical and defensive functions, as well as regulating the balance of calcium ions and housing bone marrow.. The qualities of bones do not remain constant. Instead, they fluctuate throughout life, with functions increasing in some situations while deteriorating in others. The synchronization of osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is critical for maintaining bone mass and microstructure integrity in a steady state. This equilibrium, however, can be disrupted by a variety of bone pathologies. Excessive osteoclast differentiation can result in osteoporosis, Paget's disease, osteolytic bone metastases, and rheumatoid arthritis, all of which can adversely affect people's health. Osteoclast differentiation is regulated by transcription factors NFATc1, MITF, C/EBPα, PU.1, NF-κB, and c-Fos. The transcriptional activity of osteoclasts is largely influenced by developmental and environmental signals with the involvement of co-factors, RNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, and the microenvironment. In this paper, we review these themes in regard to transcriptional regulation in osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Milk supply and quality during lactation are critical for progeny survival. Maternal tissues and metabolism, influenced by hormonal changes, undergo modification during lactation to sustain breastfeeding. Two organs that suffer essential adjustment are the mammary glands and the bone; however, renal calcium conservation and calcium absorption from the intestine are also modified. Lactation leads to a transient loss of bone minerals to provide adequate amounts of minerals, including calcium for milk production. Physiological, metabolic, and molecular changes in different tissues participate in providing nutrients for milk production. After weaning, the histological, metabolic, and hormonal modifications that take place in lactation are reverted, and bone remineralization is a central function at this time. This study focuses on the hormonal, metabolic, molecular, and tissue modifications that occur in mammary glands, bone, intestine, and kidneys in the mother during lactation and post-weaning periods.

Abstract
In the recent years, a paradigm shift is taking place where metallic/synthetic implants and tissue grafts are being replaced by tissue engineering approach. A well designed three-dimensional scaffold is one of the fundamental tools to guide tissue formation in vitro and in vivo. Bone is a highly dynamic and an integrative tissue, and thus enormous efforts have been invested in bone tissue engineering to design a highly porous scaffold which plays a critical role in guiding bone growth and regeneration. Numerous techniques have been developed to fabricate highly interconnected, porous scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications with the help of biomolecules such as chitosan, collagen, gelatin, silk, etc. We aim, in this review, to provide an overview of different types of fabrication techniques for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering using biological macromolecules.

Abstract
The increasing of osteoclasts formation and activity because of oestrogen (E2) deficiency is very important in the aetiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our previous studies showed that E2 inhibited osteoclastic bone resorption by increasing the expression of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) channel. However, the exact mechanism by which E2 increases TRPV5 expression is not fully elucidated. In this study, Western blot, quantitative real‐time PCR, tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase staining, F‐actin ring staining, chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assay were applied to explore the mechanisms that E2‐induced TRPV5 expression contributes to the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. The results showed that silencing or overexpressing of TRPV5 significantly affected osteoclasts differentiation and activity. Silencing of TRPV5 obviously alleviated E2‐inhibited osteoclastogenesis, resulting in increasing of bone resorption. E2 stimulated mature osteoclasts apoptosis by increasing TRPV5 expression. Further studies showed that E2 increased TRPV5 expression through the interaction of the oestrogen receptor α (ERα) with NF‐κB, which could directly bind to the fragment of −286 nt ~ −277 nt in the promoter region of trpv5. Taken together, we conclude that TRPV5 plays a dominant effect in E2‐mediated osteoclasts formation, bone resorption activity and osteoclasts apoptosis. Furthermore, NF‐κB plays an important role in the transcriptional activation of E2‐ERα stimulated TRPV5 expression.

Abstract
Cancer survivors after radiotherapy may suffer a variety of bone-related adverse side effects, including radioactive osteoporosis and fractures. Localized irradiation is a common treatment modality for malignancies. Recently, a series of reactions and injuries called indirect effects (remote changes in bone when other parts of the body are irradiated) have been reported on the indirect irradiated area of bone tissue after radiotherapy. To address this issue, we developed a rat localized irradiation model. Rats were irradiated with a single dose of X-rays to the left hind limbs, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were isolated from bone marrow of the left (direct irradiated) and right (indirect irradiated) hind limbs 3, 7 and 14 days after irradiation, and assayed for the proliferation ability and osteogenic potential by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization assay, RT-PCR and western blot analysis. The results showed that there were significant morphology changes in the BMMSCs from direct and indirect irradiated bone tissue with bigger cell bodies and increased granules. The proliferation of BMMSCs decreased both in the direct irradiated and non-irradiated bone tissue. The ALP expression and activities of BMMSCs from direct irradiated bone was consistently defected following a transient enhancement, the mRNA levels of RUNX2 and OCN, the protein expression of RUNX2, and the mineralization ability also showed the same trend. Simultaneously, in indirect irradiated group, the osteogenic potential indicators of BMMSCs decreased in the early stage of post-irradiation and were still impaired 14 days after irradiation. Our data demonstrate that localized irradiation may have both direct and indirect adverse effects on BMMSCs' proliferation and osteogenic potential into osteoblast, which may be the mechanism of radiation-induced abscopal impairment to the skeleton in the cancer radiotherapy-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, are characterized by diminished bone quality and increased fracture risk. The therapeutic challenge remains to maintain bone homeostasis with a balance between osteoclast-mediated resorption and osteoblast-mediated formation. Osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of monocyte/macrophage-derived precursors. Here we report, to our knowledge for the first time, that receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) expression in osteoclast precursors and its protein regulation are crucial for osteoclast differentiation, activity, and coupled bone formation. In mice, monocyte/macrophage-specific knockdown of RIP140 (mϕRIP140KD) resulted in a cancellous osteopenic phenotype with significantly increased bone resorption and reduced bone formation. Osteoclast precursors isolated from mϕRIP140KD mice had significantly increased differentiation potential. Furthermore, conditioned media from mϕRIP140KD primary osteoclast cultures significantly suppressed osteoblast differentiation. This suppressive activity was effectively and rapidly terminated by specific Syk-stimulated RIP140 protein degradation. Mechanistic analysis revealed that RIP140 functions primarily by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation through forming a transcription-suppressor complex with testicular receptor 4 (TR4) to repress osteoclastogenic genes. These data reveal that monocyte/macrophage RIP140/TR4 complexes may serve as a critical transcription regulatory complex maintaining homeostasis of osteoclast differentiation, activity, and coupling with osteoblast formation. Accordingly, we propose a potentially novel therapeutic strategy, specifically targeting osteoclast precursor RIP140 protein in osteolytic bone diseases.

Abstract
The adverse effect of acidosis on the skeletal system has been recognized for almost a century. Although the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated, it appears that acidosis acts as a general stimulator of osteoclasts derived from bone marrow precursors cells and enhances osteoclastic resorption. Prior work suggests that acidosis plays a significant role in osteoclasts formation and activation via up-regulating various genes responsible for its adhesion, migration, survival and bone matrix degradation. Understanding the role of acidosis in osteoclast biology may lead to development of novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of diseases related to low bone mass. In this review, we aim to discuss the recent investigations into the effects of acidosis in osteoclast biology and the acid-sensing molecular mechanism.
