Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the paracrine factor, PTH-related protein (PTHrP), have preserved in evolution sufficient identities in their amino-terminal domains to share equivalent actions upon a common G protein-coupled receptor, PTH1R, that predominantly uses the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A signaling pathway. Such a relationship between a hormone and local factor poses questions about how their common receptor mediates pharmacological and physiological actions of the two. Mouse genetic studies show that PTHrP is essential for endochondral bone lengthening in the fetus and is essential for bone remodeling. In contrast, the main postnatal function of PTH is hormonal control of calcium homeostasis, with no evidence that PTHrP contributes. Pharmacologically, amino-terminal PTH and PTHrP peptides (teriparatide and abaloparatide) promote bone formation when administered by intermittent (daily) injection. This anabolic effect is remodeling-based with a lesser contribution from modeling. The apparent lesser potency of PTHrP than PTH peptides as skeletal anabolic agents could be explained by lesser bioavailability to PTH1R. By contrast, prolongation of PTH1R stimulation by excessive dosing or infusion, converts the response to a predominantly resorptive one by stimulating osteoclast formation. Physiologically, locally generated PTHrP is better equipped than the circulating hormone to regulate bone remodeling, which occurs asynchronously at widely distributed sites throughout the skeleton where it is needed to replace old or damaged bone. While it remains possible that PTH, circulating within a narrow concentration range, could contribute in some way to remodeling and modeling, its main physiological role is in regulating calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
Skeletal homeostasis critically depends on the proper anabolic functioning of osteolineage cells. Proliferation and matrix synthesis are highly demanding in terms of biosynthesis and bioenergetics, but the nutritional requirements that support these processes in bone-forming cells are not fully understood. Here, we show that glutamine metabolism is a major determinant of osteoprogenitor function during bone mass accrual. Genetic inactivation of the rate-limiting enzyme glutaminase 1 (GLS1) results in decreased postnatal bone mass, caused by impaired biosynthesis and cell survival. Mechanistically, we uncovered that GLS1-mediated glutamine catabolism supports nucleotide and amino acid synthesis, required for proliferation and matrix production. In addition, glutamine-derived glutathione prevents accumulation of reactive oxygen species and thereby safeguards cell viability. The pro-anabolic role of glutamine metabolism was further underscored in a model of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-induced bone formation. PTH administration increases glutamine uptake and catabolism, and GLS1 deletion fully blunts the PTH-induced osteoanabolic response. Taken together, our findings indicate that glutamine metabolism in osteoprogenitors is indispensable for bone formation. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP) (gene name Pthlh) was discovered as the factor responsible for the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. It shares such sequence similarity with PTH in the amino-terminal region that the two are equally able to act through a single G protein-coupled receptor, PTH1R. A number of biological activities are ascribed to domains of PTHrP beyond the amino-terminal domain. PTH functions as a circulating hormone, but PTHrP is generated locally in many tissues including bone, where it acts as a paracrine factor on osteoblasts and osteocytes. The present study compares how PTH and PTHrP influence cyclic AMP (cAMP) formation through adenylyl cyclase, the first event in cell activation through PTH1R. Brief exposure to full length PTHrP(1-141) in several osteoblastic cell culture systems was followed by sustained adenylyl cyclase activity for more than an hour after ligand washout. This effect was dose-dependent and was not found with shorter PTHrP or PTH peptides even though they were fully able to activate adenylyl cyclase with acute treatment. The persistent activation response to PTHrP(1-141) was seen also with later events in the cAMP/PKA pathway, including persistent activation of CRE-luciferase and sustained regulation of several CREB-responsive mRNAs, up to 24 h after the initial exposure. Pharmacologic blockade of endocytosis prevented the persistent activation of cAMP and gene responses. We conclude that full length PTHrP, the likely local physiological effector in bone, differs in intracellular action to PTH by undergoing endosomal translocation to induce a prolonged adenylyl cyclase activation in its target cells.

Abstract
Stress fractures (SFx) result from repetitive cyclical loading of bone. They are frequent athletic injuries and underlie atypical femoral fractures following long-term bisphosphonate (BP) therapy. We investigated the effect of a single PTH injection on the healing of SFx in the rat ulna. SFx was induced in 120 female Wistar rats (300 ± 15 g) during a single loading session. A single PTH (8 µg.100g-1 ) or vehicle (VEH) saline injection was administered 24 h after loading. Rats were divided into four groups (n = 15) and ulnae were examined 1, 2, 6, or 10 weeks following SFx. Two Toluidine Blue and TRAP-stained sections of the SFx were examined for histomorphometric analysis using Osteomeasure™ software. An increase in osteoclast number (N.Oc) and perimeter (Oc.Pm) was observed two weeks following PTH treatment (p < 0.01). At 6 weeks, bone formation was the main activity in BMUs. At 10 weeks, the proportion of healing along the SFx line remained 50% greater in PTH groups (p = 0.839), leading to a 43% reduction in the porosity area of BMU (p = 0.703). The main effect of time was a significant variable along the entire SFx remodeling cycle, with significant interactions between time and treatment type affecting (N.Oc) (p = 0.047) and (Oc.Pm) (p = 0.002). We conclude that a single PTH injection increases osteoclastogenesis by the second week of the remodeling cycle in a SFx in vivo. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
We have previously shown that co-administration of the transient osteoclast inhibitor, salmon calcitonin (sCT), blunts the anabolic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in young rats and increases osteocytic expression of the bone formation inhibitor sclerostin (Sost). To determine whether this also occurs in adult animals, we co-administered sCT with PTH to 6-month-old sham-operated (SHAM) and ovariectomised (OVX) rats. While sCT reduced the stimulatory effect of PTH on serum amino-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen levels, in contrast to its influence in young rats, sCT did not reduce the anabolic effect of PTH on femoral bone mineral density, tibial trabecular bone volume or bone formation rate in 6-month-old SHAM or OVX rats. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of femoral metaphyses collected 1 and 4 h after a single PTH injection confirmed a significant increase in mRNA levels for interleukin 6 (Il6) and ephrinB2 (EfnB2), and a significant reduction in Sost and dentin matrix protein-1 (Dmp1) in response to PTH. However, in contrast to observations in young rats, these effects were not modified by co-administration of sCT, nor did sCT significantly modify Sost, Dmp1, or matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (Mepe) mRNA levels. Furthermore, while CT receptor (CTR) mRNA (Calcr) was readily detected in GFP+ osteocytes isolated from young (3-week-old) DMP1-GFP mice, Calcr levels in osteocytes declined as mice aged, reaching levels that were undetectable in long bone at 49 weeks of age. These data indicate that osteocyte-mediated responses to CT are most likely to be of physiological relevance in young rodents.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Mechanosignaling is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of bone under physiologic conditions. These signals activate and suppress multiple signaling cascades regulating bone formation and resorption. Understanding these pathways is of prime importance to exploit their therapeutic potential in disorders associated with bone loss due to disuse, trauma, or disruption of homeostatic mechanisms. RECENT ADVANCES In the case of cells of the bone, an impressive amount of data has been generated that provides evidence of a complex mechanism by which mechanical signals can maintain or disrupt cellular homeostasis by driving transcriptional regulation of growth factors, matrix proteins and inflammatory mediators in health and inflammation. Mechanical signals act on cells in a magnitude dependent manner to induce bone deposition or resorption. During health, physiological levels of these signals are essential for maintaining bone strength and architecture, whereas during inflammation, similar signals can curb inflammation by suppressing the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling cascade, while upregulating matrix synthesis via mothers against decapentaplegic homolog and/or Wnt signaling cascades. Contrarily, excessive mechanical forces can induce inflammation via activation of the NF-κB signaling cascade. CRITICAL ISSUES Given the osteogenic potential of mechanical signals, it is imperative to exploit their therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of bone disorders. Here we review select signaling pathways and mediators stimulated by mechanical signals to modulate the strength and integrity of the bone. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Understanding the mechanisms of mechanotransduction and its effects on bone lay the groundwork for development of nonpharmacologic mechanostimulatory approaches for osteodegenerative diseases and optimal bone health.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone tissue is subjected to continuous remodelling, replacing old or damaged bone throughout life. In bone remodelling, the coordinated activities of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts ensure the maintenance of bone mass and strength. In early life, the balance of these cellular activities is tightly regulated by various factors, including systemic hormones, the mechanical environment and locally released growth factors. Age-related changes in the activity of these factors in bone remodelling can result in diseases with low bone mass, such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a systemic and age-related skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and structural degeneration of bone tissue, predisposing the patient to an increased fracture risk. The growth factor midkine (Mdk) plays a key role in bone remodelling and it is expressed during bone formation and fracture repair. Using a mouse deficient in Mdk, our group have identified this protein as a negative regulator of bone formation and mechanically induced bone remodelling. Thus, specific Mdk antagonists might represent a therapeutic option for diseases characterized by low bone mass, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Cellular subpopulations in the bone marrow play distinct and unexplored functions in skeletal homeostasis. This study delineated a unique role of osteal macrophages in bone and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent bone anabolism using murine models of targeted myeloid-lineage cell ablation. Depletion of c-fms(+) myeloid lineage cells [via administration of AP20187 in the macrophage Fas-induced apoptosis (MAFIA) mouse model] reduced cortical and trabecular bone mass and attenuated PTH-induced trabecular bone anabolism, supporting the positive function of macrophages in bone homeostasis. Interestingly, using a clodronate liposome model with targeted depletion of mature phagocytic macrophages an opposite effect was found with increased trabecular bone mass and increased PTH-induced anabolism. Apoptotic cells were more numerous in MAFIA versus clodronate-treated mice and flow cytometric analyses of myeloid lineage cells in the bone marrow showed that MAFIA mice had reduced CD68(+) cells, whereas clodronate liposome-treated mice had increased CD68(+) and CD163(+) cells. Clodronate liposomes increased efferocytosis (clearance of apoptotic cells) and gene expression associated with alternatively activated M2 macrophages as well as expression of genes associated with bone formation including Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and Tgfb1. Taken together, depletion of early lineage macrophages resulted in osteopenia with blunted effects of PTH anabolic actions, whereas depletion of differentiated macrophages promoted apoptotic cell clearance and transformed the bone marrow to an osteogenic environment with enhanced PTH anabolism. These data highlight a unique function for osteal macrophages in skeletal homeostasis.

Abstract
The microenvironment of bone marrow, an extraordinarily heterogeneous and dynamic system, is populated by bone and immune cells, and its functional dimension has been at the forefront of recent studies in the field of osteoimmunology. The interaction of both marrow niches supports self-renewal, differentiation, and homing of the hematopoietic stem cells and provides the essential regulatory molecules for osteoblast and osteoclast homeostasis. Impaired signaling within the niches results in a pathological tableau and enhances disease, including osteoporosis and arthritis, or the rejection of hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Discovering the anabolic players that control these mechanisms has become warranted. In this review, we focus on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and prostaglandins (PGs), potent molecular mediators, both of which carry out a multitude of functions, particularly in bone lining cells and T cells. These two regulators proved to be promising therapeutic agents when strictly clinical protocols on dose treatments were applied.

Abstract
Both PTH and IL-6 signaling play pivotal roles in hematopoiesis and skeletal biology, but their interdependence is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) on hematopoietic and skeletal actions of PTH. In the bone microenvironment, PTH stimulated sIL-6R protein levels in primary osteoblast cultures in vitro and bone marrow in vivo in both IL-6(+/+) and IL-6(-/-) mice. PTH-mediated hematopoietic cell expansion was attenuated in IL-6(-/-) compared with IL-6(+/+) bone marrow, whereas sIL-6R treatment amplified PTH actions in IL-6(-/-) earlier than IL-6(+/+) marrow cultures. Blocking sIL-6R signaling with sgp130 (soluble glycoprotein 130 receptor) inhibited PTH-dependent hematopoietic cell expansion in IL-6(-/-) marrow. In the skeletal system, although intermittent PTH administration to IL-6(+/+) and IL-6(-/-) mice resulted in similar anabolic actions, blocking sIL-6R significantly attenuated PTH anabolic actions. sIL-6R showed no direct effects on osteoblast proliferation or differentiation in vitro; however, it up-regulated myeloid cell expansion and production of the mesenchymal stem cell recruiting agent, TGF-β1 in the bone marrow microenvironment. Collectively, sIL-6R demonstrated orphan function and mediated PTH anabolic actions in bone in association with support of myeloid lineage cells in the hematopoietic system.

Abstract
Intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases bone mass, at least in part, by increasing the number of osteoblasts. One possible source of osteoblasts might be conversion of inactive lining cells to osteoblasts, and indirect evidence is consistent with this hypothesis. To better understand the possible effect of PTH on lining cell activation, a lineage tracing study was conducted using an inducible gene system. Dmp1-CreERt2 mice were crossed with ROSA26R reporter mice to render targeted mature osteoblasts and their descendents, lining cells and osteocytes, detectable by 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (X-gal) staining. Dmp1-CreERt2(+):ROSA26R mice were injected with 0.25 mg 4-OH-tamoxifen (4-OHTam) on postnatal days 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21. The animals were euthanized on postnatal day 23, 33, or 43 (2, 12, or 22 days after the last 4-OHTam injection). On day 43, mice were challenged with a subcutaneous injection of human PTH (1-34, 80 µg/kg) or vehicle once daily for 3 days. By 22 days after the last 4-OHTam injection, most X-gal (+) cells on the periosteal surfaces of the calvaria and the tibia were flat. Moreover, bone formation rate and collagen I(α1) mRNA expression were decreased at day 43 compared to day 23. After 3 days of PTH injections, the thickness of X-gal (+) cells increased, as did their expression of osteocalcin and collagen I(α1) mRNA. Electron microscopy revealed X-gal-associated chromogen particles in thin cells prior to PTH administration and in cuboidal cells following PTH administration. These data support the hypothesis that intermittent PTH treatment can increase osteoblast number by converting lining cells to mature osteoblasts in vivo.

A fracture does not adversely affect bone mineral density responses after teriparatide treatment. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2012; 470:927-36. [PMID: 21863393 PMCID: PMC3270178 DOI: 10.1007/s11999-011-2029-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2011] [Accepted: 08/08/2011] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fracture leads to local and systemic catabolic physiologic changes. As teriparatide is an agent used to treat osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures, it is unclear whether teriparatide treatment alters bone mineral density (BMD) and bone markers when given to patients with fractures. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether BMD and bone marker responses would be blunted in patients with fractures placed on teriparatide after fracture compared with patients without fractures on teriparatide. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 141 patients treated with teriparatide for osteoporosis. Seventy-seven patients received teriparatide after fractures (fracture group), whereas 64 were treated for other indications (nonfracture group). We determined BMD at the lumbar spine and at the proximal femur before and 12 and 24 months posttreatment. Bone markers (urine N-telopeptide [urine NTX], bone-specific alkaline phosphatase [BALP]) were measured at baseline and 3, 12, and 24 months posttreatment. RESULTS Mean lumbar spine and hip BMDs at last followup increased from baseline with no differences between groups to approximately 9% and 4% at 24 months, respectively. Both bone markers increased from baseline in the nonfracture group, peaking at 12 months. For the fracture group, only urine NTX increased at 3 and 12 months posttreatment. Although the peak levels of both bone markers in the nonfracture group were greater, there was no difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Fracture does not have a negative effect on the BMD and bone marker responses to teriparatide treatment. Clinicians should anticipate comparable BMD responses when treating patients with teriparatide for osteoporotic fractures and for other indications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Proteoglycan 4, a novel immunomodulatory factor, regulates parathyroid hormone actions on hematopoietic cells. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2011; 179:2431-42. [PMID: 21939632 PMCID: PMC3204095 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2011.07.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2011] [Revised: 06/12/2011] [Accepted: 07/07/2011] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), a critical protective factor in articular joints, is implicated in hematopoietic progenitor cell expansion and megakaryopoiesis. PRG4 loss-of-function mutations result in camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis (CACP) syndrome, which is characterized primarily by precocious joint failure. PRG4 was identified as a novel parathyroid hormone (PTH) responsiveness gene in osteoblastic cells in bone, and was investigated as a potential mediator of PTH actions on hematopoiesis. Sixteen-week-old Prg4(-/-) mutant and Prg4(+/+) wild-type mice were treated daily with intermittent PTH (residues 1-34) or vehicle for 6 weeks. At 22 weeks of age, Prg4 mutant mice had increased peripheral blood neutrophils and decreased marrow B220(+) (B-lymphocytic) cells, which were normalized by PTH. The PTH-induced increase in marrow Lin(-)Sca-1(+)c-Kit(+) (hematopoietic progenitor) cells was blunted in mutant mice. Basal and PTH-stimulated stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) was decreased in mutant mice, suggesting SDF-1 as a candidate regulator of proteoglycan 4 actions on hematopoiesis in vivo. PTH stimulation of IL-6 mRNA was greater in mutant than in wild-type calvaria and bone marrow, suggesting a compensatory mechanism in the PTH-induced increase in marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells. In summary, proteoglycan 4 is a novel PTH-responsive factor regulating immune cells and PTH actions on marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Abstract
We compared teriparatide (TPTD) and strontium ranelate (SR) efficacy on bone formation activity in a mature rat model of estrogen-deficiency bone loss. Rats were ovariectomized (OVX) at age 6 months and permitted to lose bone for 2 months to establish osteopenia before initiation of treatment with TPTD (5 or 15 μg/kg · d sc) or SR (150 or 450 mg/kg · d oral gavage). After 3 wk, RT-PCR analyses of bone formation genes in the distal femur metaphysis showed significant elevation of collagen 1α2, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, alkaline phosphatase, and Runx2 gene expression at both TPTD doses, relative to OVX controls. SR had no significant effect on expression of these genes. TPTD treatment for 12 wk dose dependently increased lumbar vertebral (LV) and femoral midshaft bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density over pretreatment and age-matched OVX controls. SR 150 increased BMC, and SR 450 increased BMC and bone mineral density of femoral midshaft and LV over OVX controls. There were significant dose-dependent TPTD increases of LV and femoral neck strength, and TPTD 15 also increased midshaft strength compared with pretreatment and age-matched OVX controls. SR did not enhance bone strength relative to pretreatment or age-matched OVX controls. Histomorphometry of the proximal tibial metaphysis showed dose-dependent effects of TPTD on trabecular area, number, width, and osteoblast surface, bone mineralizing surface, and bone formation rate relative to pretreatment and age-matched OVX controls, whereas SR had no effect on these parameters. These findings confirmed the bone anabolic efficacy of teriparatide, but not SR in mature, osteopenic, OVX rats.

Abstract
Osteoblasts and adipocytes are derived from common mesenchymal progenitor cells. The bone loss of osteoporosis is associated with altered progenitor differentiation from an osteoblastic to an adipocytic lineage. cDNA microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) were carried out in a differentiating mouse stromal osteoblastic cell line, Kusa 4b10, to identify gene targets of factors that stimulate osteoblast differentiation including parathyroid hormone (PTH) and gp130-binding cytokines, oncostatin M (OSM) and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1). Zinc finger protein 467 (Zfp467) was rapidly down-regulated by PTH, OSM, and CT-1. Retroviral overexpression and RNA interference for Zfp467 in mouse stromal cells showed that this factor stimulated adipocyte formation and inhibited osteoblast commitment compared with controls. Regulation of adipocyte markers, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ, C/EBPα, adiponectin, and resistin, and late osteoblast/osteocyte markers (osteocalcin and sclerostin) by Zfp467 was confirmed by Q-PCR. Intra-tibial injection of calvarial cells transduced with retroviral Zfp467 doubled the number of marrow adipocytes in C57Bl/6 mice compared with vector control-transduced cells, providing in vivo confirmation of a pro-adipogenic role of Zfp467. Furthermore, Zfp467 transactivated a PPAR-response element reporter construct and recruited a histone deacetylase complex. Thus Zfp467 is a novel co-factor that promotes adipocyte differentiation and suppresses osteoblast differentiation. This has relevance to therapeutic interventions in osteoporosis, including PTH-based therapies currently available, and may be of relevance for the use of adipose-derived stem cells for tissue engineering.

Abstract
We introduced the mechanosome hypothesis in 2003 as a heuristic model for investigating mechanotransduction in bone (Pavalko et al., J Cell Biochem, 2003, 88(1):104-112). This model suggested specific approaches for investigating how mechanical information is conveyed from the membrane of the sensor bone cell to the target genes and how this transmitted information from the membrane is converted into changes in transcription. The key concepts underlying the mechanosome hypothesis are that load-induced deformation of bone deforms the sensor cell membrane; embedded in the membrane are the focal adhesion and cadherin-catenin complexes, which in turn are physically connected to the chromatin via a solid-state scaffold. The physical stimulation of the membrane launches multiprotein complexes (mechanosomes) from the adhesion platforms while concomitantly tugging target genes into position for contact with the incoming mechanosomes, the carriers of the mechanical information to the nucleus. The mechanosome is comprised of an adhesion-associated protein and a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling transcription factor. Upon arrival at the target gene, mechanosomes alter DNA conformation and thus influence the interactions between trans-acting proteins along the gene, changing gene activity. Here, we update significant progress related to the mechanosome concept since publication of our original hypothesis. The launching of adhesion- and cytoskeletal-associated proteins into the nucleus toward target genes appears to be a common mechanism for regulating cell response to changes in its mechanical microenvironment.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play a central role in local bone regeneration strategies, whereas the anabolic features of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are particularly appealing for the systemic treatment of generalized bone loss. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether local BMP-2-induced bone regeneration could be enhanced by systemic administration of PTH (1-34). Empty or BMP-2-loaded poly(lactic-co glycolic acid)/poly(propylene fumarate)/gelatin composites were implanted subcutaneously and in femoral defects in rats (n = 9). For the orthotopic site, empty defects were also tested. Each of the conditions was investigated in combination with daily administered subcutaneous PTH (1-34) injections in the neck. After 8 weeks of implantation, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume were analyzed using microcomputed tomography and histology. Ectopic bone formation and almost complete healing of the femoral defect were only seen in rats that received BMP-2-loaded composites. Additional treatment of the rats with PTH (1-34) resulted in significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced BMD and bone volume in the BMP-2 composites at both implantation sites. Despite its effect on BMD in the humerus and vertebra, PTH (1-34) treatment had no significant effect on BMD and bone volume in the empty femoral defects and the ectopically or orthotopically implanted empty composites. Histological analysis showed that the newly formed bone had a normal woven and trabecular appearance. Overall, this study suggests that intermittent administration of a low PTH dose alone has limited potential to enhance local bone regeneration in a critical-sized defect in rats. However, when combined with local BMP-2-releasing scaffolds, PTH administration significantly enhanced osteogenesis in both ectopic and orthotopic sites.

Abstract
The therapeutic goal of increasing bone mass by co-treatment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and an osteoclast inhibitor has been complicated by the undefined contribution of osteoclasts to the anabolic activity of PTH. To determine whether active osteoclasts are required at the time of PTH administration, we administered a low dose of the transient osteoclast inhibitor salmon calcitonin (sCT) to young rats receiving an anabolic PTH regimen. Co-administration of sCT significantly blunted the anabolic effect of PTH as measured by peripheral quantitative computer tomography (pQCT) and histomorphometry in the femur and tibia, respectively. To determine gene targets of sCT, we carried out quantitative real time PCR and microarray analysis of metaphyseal samples 1.5, 4 and 6.5h after administration of a single injection of PTH, sCT or PTH+sCT. Known targets of PTH action, IL-6, ephrinB2 and RANKL, were not modified by co-administration with sCT. Surprisingly, at all time points, we noted a significant upregulation of sclerostin mRNA by sCT treatment, as well as down-regulation of two other osteocyte gene products, MEPE and DMP1. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that sCT administration increased the percentage of osteocytes expressing sclerostin, suggesting a mechanism by which sCT reduced the anabolic effect of PTH. Neither mRNA for CT receptor (Calcr) nor labeled CT binding could be detected in sclerostin-enriched cells differentiated from primary calvarial osteoblasts. In contrast, osteocytes freshly isolated from calvariae expressed a high level of Calcr mRNA. Furthermore immunohistochemistry revealed co-localization of CT receptor (CTR) and sclerostin in some osteocytes in calvarial sections. Taken together these data indicate that co-treatment with sCT can blunt the anabolic effect of PTH and this may involve direct stimulation of sclerostin production by osteocytes. These data directly implicate calcitonin as a negative regulator of bone formation through a previously unsuspected mechanism.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have the in vitro capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes or adipocytes, depending on the applied stimulus. In order to identify novel regulators of osteogenesis in hMSCs, osteo-transcriptomics was performed whereby differentiation induced by dexamethasone (DEX), DEX+ bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and DEX+ Vitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) was studied over a course of 12 days. Microarray analysis revealed that 2095 genes were significantly regulated by DEX+ 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), of which 961 showed accelerated expression kinetics compared to treatment by DEX alone. The majority of these genes were accelerated 24-48 h after onset of osteogenic treatment. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of these 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-accelerated genes indicated their involvement in biological processes related to cellular differentiation and cell cycle regulation. When compared to cells treated with DEX or DEX+BMP2, treatment with DEX+ 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) clearly accelerated osteoprogenitor commitment and osteoblast maturation, as measured by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcification of the matrix. Cell cycle progression, as observed after initial growth arrest, was not significantly accelerated by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and was not required for onset and progression of osteogenesis. However, expression of c-Myc was accelerated by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), and binding sites for c-MYC were enriched in promoters of genes accelerated by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Lentiviral overexpression of c-MYC strongly promoted DEX+ BMP2-induced osteoblast differentiation and matrix maturation. In conclusion, our studies show for the first time that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) strongly accelerates expression of genes involved in differentiation of hMSCs and, moreover, identify c-MYC as a novel regulator of osteogenesis.

Abstract
The PTH receptor (PTHR1) is expressed on osteoblasts and responds to PTH or PTHrP in an endocrine or autocrine/paracrine manner, respectively. A microarray study carried out on PTHR1-positive osteoblasts (Kusa 4b10 cells) identified the cysteine-X-cysteine (CXC) family chemokine ligand 1 (Cxcl1) as a novel immediate PTH/PTHrP-responsive gene. Cxcl1 is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant with recognized roles in angiogenesis and inflammation, but a role in bone biology has not been described. Cxcl1 mRNA levels were up-regulated 1 h after either PTH or PTHrP treatment of differentiated Kusa 4b10 osteoblasts (15-fold) and mouse calvarial osteoblasts (160-fold) and in rat metaphyseal bone (5-fold) 1 h after a single sc injection of PTH. Furthermore, PTH treatment stimulated a 10-fold increase in secreted Cxcl1 protein by both Kusa 4b10 cells and calvarial osteoblasts. Immunohistochemistry and PCR demonstrated that CXCR2, the receptor for Cxcl1, is highly expressed in osteoclast precursors (hemopoietic cells) but is predominantly undetectable in the osteoblast lineage, suggesting that osteoblast-derived Cxcl1 may act as a chemoattractant for osteoclast precursors. Confirming this hypothesis, recombinant Cxcl1 dose-dependently stimulated migration of osteoclast precursors in cell culture studies, as did conditioned media from Kusa 4b10 cells treated with PTH. These data indicate that local action through the PTHR1 could stimulate cells of the osteoblast lineage to release a chemokine capable of attracting osteoclast precursors to the bone environment.

Abstract
The periosteum is now widely recognized as a homeostatic and therapeutic target for actions of sex steroids and intermittent PTH administration. The mechanisms by which estrogens suppress but PTH promotes periosteal expansion are not known. In this report, we show that intermittent PTH(1-34) promotes differentiation of periosteal osteoblast precursors as evidenced by the stimulation of the expression or activity of alkaline phosphatase as well as of targets of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and Wnt pathways. In contrast, 17beta-estradiol (E2) had no effect by itself. However, it attenuated PTH- or BMP-2-induced differentiation of primary periosteal osteoblast progenitors. Administration of intermittent PTH to ovariectomized mice induced rapid phosphorylation of the BMP-2 target Smad1/5/8 in the periosteum. A replacement dose of E2 had no effect by itself but suppressed PTH-induced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8. In contrast to its effects to stimulate periosteal osteoblast differentiation, PTH promoted and subsequently suppressed proliferation of periosteal osteoblast progenitors in vitro and in vivo. E2 promoted proliferation and attenuated the antiproliferative effect of PTH. Both hormones protected periosteal osteoblasts from apoptosis induced by various proapoptotic agents. These observations suggest that the different effects of PTH and estrogens on the periosteum result from opposing actions on the recruitment of early periosteal osteoblast progenitors. Intermittent PTH promotes osteoblast differentiation from periosteum-derived mesenchymal progenitors through ERK-, BMP-, and Wnt-dependent signaling pathways. Estrogens promote proliferation of early osteoblast progenitors but inhibit their differentiation by osteogenic agents such as PTH or BMP-2.

Abstract
With the aim of identifying new pathways and genes regulated by PTH(1-34) and PTH-related protein 1-141 [PTHrP(1-141)] in osteoblasts, this study was carried out using a mouse marrow stromal cell line, Kusa 4b10, that acquires features of the osteoblastic phenotype in long-term culture conditions. After the appearance of functional PTH receptor 1 (PTHR1) in Kusa 4b10 cells, they were treated with either PTH(1-34) or PTHrP(1-141), and RNA was subjected to Affymetrix whole mouse genome array. The microarray data were validated using quantitative real-time RT-PCR on independently prepared RNA samples from differentiated Kusa 4b10, UMR106 osteosarcoma cells, and primary mouse calvarial osteoblasts, as well as in vivo using RNA from metaphyseal bone after a single PTH injection to 3-wk-old and 6-mo-old ovariectomized rats. Of the 45,101 probes used on the microarray, 4675 were differentially expressed by >or=1.5 fold, with a false discovery rate <0.1. Among the regulated genes, ephrinB2 mRNA was upregulated in response to both PTH and PTHrP. This was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR in vitro and in vivo. Increased ephrinB2 protein was also shown in vitro by Western blotting, and immunostaining of femur sections showed ephrinB2 in both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Production of ephrinB2, as well as other ephrins or Eph family members, did not change during differentiation of Kusa 4b10 cells. Blockade of ephrinB2/EphB4 interaction resulted in inhibition of mineralization of Kusa 4b10 cells. Together with the shown effect of ephrinB2 promoting osteoblast differentiation and bone formation through action on EphB4, the data raise the possibility that PTH or PTHrP might regulate ephrinB2 to act in a paracrine or autocrine manner on EphB4 or EphB2 in the osteoblast, contributing as a local event to the anabolic action of PTH or PTHrP.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The effect of teriparatide (20 microg/day) on serum calcium was examined in postmenopausal women previously treated with alendronate or raloxifene. Women previously treated with alendronate or raloxifene who added teriparatide or switched to teriparatide did not have clinically meaningful increases in mean predose serum calcium. INTRODUCTION The effects of a 6-month treatment with teriparatide (20 microg/day; rhPTH(1-34), TPTD) on serum calcium (Ca) was examined in a prospective study of postmenopausal women previously treated with alendronate (70 mg/week or 10 mg/day [ALN] or raloxifene 60 mg/d [RLX]) for > or =18 months. METHODS Women continued their usual ALN or RLX during a 2-month antiresorptive phase. Women previously treated with ALN were randomized to add TPTD (n = 52) or switch to TPTD (n = 50) and women previously treated with RLX were randomized to add TPTD (n = 47) or switch to TPTD (n = 49). All were to take at least 500 mg/day of elemental Ca and 400-800 IU/day of vitamin D. RESULTS Predose mean serum Ca did not significantly change in groups adding TPTD to either RLX or ALN treatment. In patients who switched from RLX or ALN to TPTD, mean serum Ca increased by 0.05 mmol/L and 0.04 mmol/L respectively. Only 1 patient had the predefined calcium endpoint of serum calcium > 2.76 mmol/L (11 mg/dL) at more than one visit. CONCLUSIONS Women previously treated with ALN or RLX who added TPTD or switched to TPTD did not have clinically meaningful increases in mean predose serum Ca.

Abstract
Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration increases bone formation and bone mass and is being used as a therapy for osteoporosis. By contrast, chronic hyperparathyroidism results in the metabolic bone disease osteitis fibrosa characterized by local bone resorption and peritrabecular bone marrow fibrosis in humans. The animal models that can mimic the paradoxical effects of PTH provide the basis for further study of the functions of this hormone in skeletal tissues. In both rats and mice, the anabolic effects of PTH on bone can be achieved by daily injections subcutaneously and the catabolic effects can be achieved by continuous infusion with osmotic pumps. This chapter offers detailed information, such as the dosage and preparation of PTH, using the example of treatment of rats with PTH intermittently or continuously. High-quality, RT-PCR ready RNA is required for the analysis of gene expression. For the analysis of gene expression in bone, usually long bones are used for RNA extraction. Here we describe how to extract RNAs from the metaphyseal trabecular primary spongiosa of rat femur by a method based on two commercially available kits. This protocol can be used in other tissues with slight modification of the amount of reagent used according to the tissue size.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) is a proto-oncogene best known for its ability to suppress cell death. However, the role of Bcl2 in the skeletal system is unknown. Bcl2 has been hypothesized to play an important anti-apoptotic role in osteoblasts during anabolic actions of PTH. Although rational, this has not been validated in vivo; hence, the impact of Bcl2 in bone remains unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bone phenotype of Bcl2 homozygous mutant (Bcl2(-/-)) mice was analyzed with histomorphometry and muCT. Calvarial osteoblasts were isolated and evaluated for their cellular activity. Osteoclastogenesis was induced from bone marrow cells using RANKL and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and their differentiation was analyzed. PTH(1-34) (50 microg/kg) or vehicle was administered daily to Bcl2(+/+) and Bcl2(-/-) mice (4 days old) for 9 days to clarify the influence of Bcl2 ablation on PTH anabolic actions. Western blotting and real-time PCR were performed to detect Bcl2 expression in calvarial osteoblasts in response to PTH ex vivo. RESULTS There were reduced numbers of osteoclasts in Bcl2(-/-) mice, with a resultant increase in bone mass. Bcl2(-/-) bone marrow-derived osteoclasts ex vivo were significantly larger in size and short-lived compared with wildtype, suggesting a pro-apoptotic nature of Bcl2(-/-) osteoclasts. In contrast, osteoblasts were entirely normal in their proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. Intermittent administration of PTH increased bone mass similarly in Bcl2(+/+) and Bcl2(-/-) mice. Finally, Western blotting and real-time PCR showed that Bcl2 levels were not induced in response to PTH in calvarial osteoblasts. CONCLUSIONS Bcl2 is critical in osteoclasts but not osteoblasts. Osteoclast suppression is at least in part responsible for increased bone mass of Bcl2(-/-) mice, and Bcl2 is dispensable in PTH anabolic actions during bone growth.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor 603281-31-8, administered once daily increased bone formation in vivo. We investigated the molecular mechanisms of the anabolic responses of PTH and 603281-31-8 in rat osteopenia model. Female 6-month-old rats were ovariectomized (Ovx) and permitted to lose bone for 1 month, followed by treatment with PTH (1-38) at 10 microg/kg/day s.c. or 603281-31-8 at 3 mg/kg/day p.o. for 60 days. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, RNA from distal femur metaphysis was subjected to gene expression analysis. Differentially expressed genes (P<0.05) were subjected to pathway analysis to delineate relevant bio-processes involved in skeletal biology. Genes involved in morphogenesis, cell growth/differentiation, and apoptosis were significantly altered by Ovx and the treatments. Analysis of morphogenesis genes showed an overrepresentation of genes involved in osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, and adipogenesis. A striking finding was that Ovx decreased several markers of osteogenesis/chondrogenesis and increased markers of adipogenesis/lipid metabolism. Treatment with either PTH or the GSK-3 inhibitor reversed these effects, albeit at different levels. Histological analysis confirmed that osteopenia in Ovx animals was associated with three-fold increase in marrow adiposity. PTH and GSK-3 inhibitor restored bone volume, and reversed or normalized marrow adiposity. Ex vivo studies showed that PTH and GSK-3 inhibitor increased the ratio of colony forming marrow stromal progenitors (CFU-fs) that were alkaline phosphatase positive (putative osteoblasts). Our results suggest that the bone anabolic actions of PTH and GSK-3 inhibitor in vivo involve concerted effects on mesenchymal lineages; osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and T scores of patients after 2 years of teriparatide therapy, and to determine the number of fractures that occurred during therapy. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING Pharmacist-run teriparatide clinic in a private-practice endocrinology group. PATIENTS Sixty patients with osteoporosis who experienced fractures or adverse events while receiving antiresorptive therapy and were referred by the endocrinologists to the clinic between January 1, 2002, and January 1, 2004. INTERVENTION After a 1-hour counseling and training session with a clinical pharmacist, patients self-administered subcutaneous teriparatide 20 microg/day for the next 2 years. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Primary outcome measures were dual x-ray absorptiometry-determined BMDs and T scores for the total hip, spine, and wrist at baseline and at 1 and 2 years. Patients' BMDs for the hip significantly increased by 3.5% at 1 year and by 3.9% at 2 years. In addition, BMD for the spine significantly increased by 7.2% at 1 year and 10.9% at 2 years. In 56 (93%) patients, BMD for the spine increased after 2 years of treatment. For the wrist, BMD decreased by 0.75% at 1 year and by 2.4% at 2 years, but the change was only significant at 2 years (p=0.011). At both 1 and 2 years, T scores for the total hip and spine significantly improved from baseline (p< or =0.019), whereas T scores for the wrist significantly declined after 2 years of therapy (p<0.003). No new fractures were documented in any of the patients. CONCLUSION In patients with osteoporosis, the use of teriparatide in a pharmacist-run clinic significantly increased BMD at the total hip and spinal sites and significantly decreased BMD in the wrist.

Abstract
Increased bone formation by PTH mainly results from activation of osteoblasts, an effect largely mediated by the cAMP-PKA pathway. Other pathways, however, are likely to be involved in this process. In this study we investigated whether PTH can activate p38 MAPK and the role of this kinase in osteoblastic cells. Bovine PTH(1-34) and forskolin markedly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and doubled osteocalcin (Oc) expression in early differentiating MC3T3-E1 cells. These effects were associated with increase in cellular cAMP and activation of the MAP kinases ERK and p38. Activation of these MAP kinases was detectable after 1 h incubation with 10(-7) M PTH and lasted 1-2 h. Activation of p38 was mimicked by 10 microM forskolin and prevented by H89 suggesting a cAMP-PKA-dependent mechanism of p38 activation. Interestingly, PTH-induced ALP stimulation was dose-dependently inhibited by a specific p38 inhibitor with no change in the generation of cAMP and the production of osteocalcin. Similar inhibitory effect was obtained in cells stably expressing a dominant-negative p38 molecule. Finally, treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with PTH for 3 weeks significantly enhanced matrix mineralization and this effect was markedly reduced by a selective p38 but not a specific MEK inhibitor. In conclusion, data presented in this study indicate that PTH can activate p38 in early differentiating osteoblastic cells. Activation of p38 is cAMP-PKA-dependent and mediates PTH-induced stimulation of ALP which plays a critical role for the calcification of the bone matrix.

Abstract
Intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates bone formation by increasing osteoblast number, but the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this effect are not completely understood. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that PTH directly activates survival signaling in osteoblasts; and that delay of osteoblast apoptosis is a major contributor to the increased osteoblast number, at least in mice. This effect requires Runx2-dependent expression of anti-apoptotic genes like Bcl-2. PTH also causes exit of replicating progenitors from the cell cycle by decreasing expression of cyclin D and increasing expression of several cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Exit from the cell cycle may set the stage for pro-differentiating and pro-survival effects of locally produced growth factors and cytokines, the level and/or activity of which are known to be influenced by PTH. Observations from genetically modified mice suggest that the anabolic effect of intermittent PTH requires insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and perhaps Wnts. Attenuation of the negative effects of PPAR gamma may also lead to increased osteoblast number. Daily injections of PTH may add to the pro-differentiating and pro-survival effects of locally produced PTH related protein (PTHrP). As a result, osteoblast number increases beyond that needed to replace the bone removed by osteoclasts during bone remodeling. The pleiotropic effects of intermittent PTH, each of which alone may increase osteoblast number, may explain why this therapy reverses bone loss in most osteoporotic individuals regardless of the underlying pathophysiology.

Abstract
Strontium ranelate has several beneficial effects on bone and reduces the risk of vertebral and hip fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. We investigated whether Sr(2+) acts via a cell surface calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) in HEK293 cells stably transfected with the bovine CaR (HEK-CaR) and rat primary osteoblasts (POBs) expressing the CaR endogenously. Elevating Ca(o)(2+) or Sr(2+) concentration-dependently activated the CaR in HEK-CaR but not in non-transfected cells, but the potency of Sr(2+) varied depending on the biological response tested. Sr(2+) was less potent than Ca(o)(2+) in stimulating inositol phosphate accumulation and in increasing Ca(i)(2+), but was comparable to Ca(o)(2+) in stimulating ERK phosphorylation and a non-selective cation channel, suggesting that Ca(2+) and Sr(2+) have differential effects on specific cellular processes. With physiological concentrations of Ca(o)(2+), Sr(2+)-induced further CaR activation. Neither Sr(2+) nor Ca(o)(2+) affected the four parameters just described in non-transfected cells. In POB, Sr(2+) stimulated cellular proliferation. This effect was CaR-mediated, as transfecting the cells with a dominant negative bovine CaR significantly attenuated Ca(o)(2+)-stimulated POB proliferation. Finally, Sr(2+) significantly increased the mRNA levels of the immediate early genes, c-fos and egr-1, which are involved in POB proliferation, and this effect was attenuated by overexpressing the dominant negative CaR. In conclusion, Sr(2+) is a full CaR agonist in HEK-CaR and POB, and, therefore, the anabolic effect of Sr(2+) on bone in vivo could be mediated, in part, by the CaR.

Abstract
In primary calvarial osteoblast cultures derived from transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of 3.6-kb Col1a1 promoter, the emergence of GFP signal marks the transition of multipotential osteoprogenitors into preosteoblasts. Early transient treatment (days 1-7) of these cultures with parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an anabolic effect that is not associated with an increase in total DNA content or cell number in day 21 cultures. In the present study, the effect of early PTH treatment on cell proliferation and apoptosis was examined in greater detail in GFP(+) and GFP(-) cells using flow cytometry. In preconfluent cultures, PTH significantly reduced the proportion of cells in S phase but increased those in G(0)/G(1) and G(2)+M phases in both GFP(+) and GFP(-) subpopulations. PTH decreased apoptosis only in GFP(-) but not GFP(+) cells, indicating an increased survival of GFP(-) cells. In contrast, PTH did not change the amounts of cell proliferation and apoptosis seen in either compartment after these cultures reached confluence. To further assess the effect of early PTH treatment on osteogenic differentiation, secondary cultures of sorted GFP(+) or GFP(-) cells were obtained from day 7 primary cultures that had been treated for 1 wk with PTH. This treatment resulted in larger areas of GFP expression accompanied by increased xylenol orange/von Kossa staining in the secondary cultures of GFP fractions. Early transient PTH treatment appears to enhance the commitment of progenitor cells to an osteogenic fate and results in a higher proportion of cells that achieve full osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Since parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the only proven anabolic therapy for bone, it becomes the benchmark by which new treatments will be evaluated. The anabolic effect of PTH is dependent upon intermittent administration, but when an elevated PTH level is maintained even for a few hours it initiates processes leading to new osteoclast formation, and the consequent resorption overrides the effects of activating genes that direct bone formation. Identification of PTH-related protein (PTHrP) production by cells early in the osteoblast lineage, and its action through the PTH1R upon more mature osteoblastic cells, together with the observation that PTHrP+/- mice are osteoporotic, all raise the possibility that PTHrP is a crucial paracrine regulator of bone formation. The finding that concurrent treatment with bisphosphonates impairs the anabolic response to PTH, adds to other clues that osteoclast activity is necessary to complement the direct effect that PTH has in promoting differentiation of committed osteoblast precursors. This might involve the generation of a coupling factor from osteoclasts that are transiently activated by receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) in response to PTH. New approaches to anabolic therapies may come from the discovery that an activating mutation in the LRP5 gene is responsible for an inherited high bone mass syndrome, and the fact that this can be recapitulated in transgenic mice, whereas inactivating mutations result in severe bone loss. This has focused attention on the Wnt/frizzled/beta-catenin pathway as being important in bone formation, and proof of the concept has been obtained in experimental models.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is bone-anabolic, i.e. stimulates bone formation and increases bone mass. In this study, we explored possible intracellular mechanisms of its increase of osteogenic cells in rat bone marrow. Adherent rat bone marrow cells were counted after 12-48 h or cultured for 21 days and mineralized nodules were counted. Also, apoptosis of marrow cells was measured after in vivo PGE(2) injection. PGE(2) (100 nM) increased 2-3 fold the number of adherent BMSC, an effect which was mediated via binding the EP(4) receptor since it was mimicked by forskolin and 11-deoxy-prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and was blocked by DDA and L-161982 (EP(4) antagonist). PGE(2) stimulated sphingosine kinase (SPK) activity since its effects were blocked by DMS (SPK inhibitor) and mimicked by SPP (SPK product). PGE(2) reduced the activity of caspase-3 and -8 in BMSC and their inhibitors increased BMSC number and nodule formation. In vivo, PGE(2) prevented the increase in the apoptosis of bone marrow cells caused by indomethacin. We propose that PGE(2) exerts an anti-apoptotic effect on BMSC, thereby increasing their number and subsequent osteoblastic differentiation. Such an effect could explain how PGE(2) stimulates bone formation in vivo.

Abstract
In bone, clock genes are involved in the circadian oscillation of bone formation and extracellular matrix expression. However, to date little attention has been paid to circadian rhythm in association with expression of clock genes during chondrogenesis in cartilage. In this study, we investigated the functional expression of different clock genes by chondrocytes in the course of cartilage development. The mRNA expression of types I, II, and X collagens exhibited a 24-h rhythm with a peak at zeitgeber time 6, in addition to a 24-h rhythmicity of all the clock genes examined in mouse femurs in vivo. Marked expression of different clock genes was seen in both osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 and chondrogenic ATDC5 cells in vitro, whereas parathyroid hormone (PTH) transiently increased period 1 (per1) mRNA expression at 1 h in both cell lines. Similar increases were seen in the mRNA levels for both per1 and per2 in prehypertrophic chondrocytes in metatarsal organotypic cultures within 2 h of exposure to PTH. PTH significantly activated the mouse per1 (mper1) and mper2 promoters but not the mper3 promoter in a manner sensitive to both a protein kinase A inhibitor and deletion of the cAMP-responsive element sequence (CRE) in ATDC5 cells. In HEK293 cells, introduction of brain and muscle aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 (bmal1)/clock enhanced mouse type II collagen first intron reporter activity without affecting promoter activity, with reduction effected by either per1 or per2. These results suggest that PTH directly stimulates mper expression through a protein kinase A-CRE-binding protein signaling pathway for subsequent regulation of bmal1/clock-dependent extracellular matrix expression in cartilage.

Abstract
UNLABELLED GSK-3, a component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, is implicated in regulation of bone mass. The effect of a small molecule GSK-3 inhibitor was evaluated in pre-osteoblasts and in osteopenic rats. GSK-3 inhibitor induced osteoblast differentiation in vitro and increased markers of bone formation in vitro and in vivo with concomitant increased bone mass and strength in rats. INTRODUCTION Inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase -3 (GSK-3) leads to stabilization, accumulation, and translocation of beta-catenin into the nucleus to activate downstream Wnt target genes. To examine whether GSK-3 directly regulates bone formation and mass we evaluated the effect of 603281-31-8, a small molecule GSK-3 alpha/beta dual inhibitor in preosteoblastic cells and in osteopenic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Murine mesenchymal C3H10T1/2 cells were treated with GSK-3 inhibitor (603281-31-8) and assayed for beta-catenin levels, activity of Wnt-responsive promoter, expression of mRNA for bone formation, and adipogenic markers and alkaline phosphatase activity. In vivo, 6-month-old rats were ovariectomized (OVX), allowed to lose bone for 1 month, and treated with GSK-3 inhibitor at 3 mg/kg/day orally for 60 days. At the end of treatment, BMD was measured by DXA, bone formation rate by histomorphometry, vertebral strength (failure in compression), and the expression levels of osteoblast-related genes by real-time PCR. RESULTS Treatment of C3H10T1/2 cells with the GSK-3 inhibitor increased the levels of beta-catenin accompanied by activation of Wnt-responsive TBE6-luciferase reporter gene. This was associated with an increased expression of mRNA for bone sialoprotein (1.4-fold), collagen alpha1 (I) (approximately 2-fold), osteocalcin (1.2-fold), collagen alpha1(V) (1.5-fold), alkaline phosphatase (approximately 160-fold), and runx2 (1.6-fold), markers of the osteoblast phenotype and bone formation activity. Alkaline phosphatase mRNA expression paralleled alkaline phosphatase activity. The mRNA levels of collagens alpha1 (I), alpha1 (V), biglycan, osteonectin, and runx-2 increased on treatment with the GSK-3 inhibitor in rat femur compared with the OVX control. DXA analyses revealed significant increases in BMC and BMD in cancellous and cortical bone of OVX rats treated with GSK-3 inhibitor. This was associated with increased strength (peak load, energy, and stiffness) assessed by lumbar vertebra load to failure in compression. Histomorphometric analyses showed that 603281-31-8 robustly increased bone formation but did not exclude a small effect on osteoclasts (resorption). CONCLUSIONS An orally active, small molecule GSK-3 inhibitor induced osteoblast differentiation and increased markers of bone formation in vitro, and increased markers of bone formation, bone mass, and strength in vivo, consistent with a role for the canonical Wnt pathway in osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates osteoblast function by binding to the PTH receptor 1 (PTHR1) to activate downstream signaling to induce expression of primary response genes (PRGs), which affect various aspects of the osteoblast phenotype. We previously identified PTH-induced PRGs in MC3T3-E1 cells, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase 1 (mkp1), which dephosphorylates members of the MAPK family. The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanisms of PTH's induction of mkp1 in primary mouse osteoblasts. METHODS Northern and Western analyses were used to determine mkp1 mRNA and protein expression. In vivo experiments were also performed to determine PTH's effect on mkp1 in mouse calvariae and long bones. RESULTS A total of 10 nM PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) maximally induced mkp1 mRNA levels after 1 hour in osteoblasts. PTH also increased mkp1 protein expression, and induced mkp1 mRNA independent of new protein synthesis. PTHR1 triggers protein kinase A (PKA), PKC, and calcium pathways. Although PKA and PKC agonists induced mkp1 mRNA levels, only cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-PKA inhibition blocked PTH-induced mkp1 mRNA levels. These data suggest that PTH-induced mkp1 mRNA levels are primarily mediated through the cAMP-PKA pathway. Further, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which activates cAMP-PKA and PKC, induced mkp1 mRNA to a greater extent than PGF2alpha and fluprostenol, which activate PKC signaling only. Finally, PTH maximally induced mkp1 mRNA levels in mouse calvariae and long bones in vivo at 0.5 hours. CONCLUSIONS mkp1's in vitro and in vivo induction in PTH-target tissues suggests its involvement in some of the effects of PTH on osteoblast function. mkp1 may be an important target gene in the anabolic effect of PTH on osteoblasts.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are rare primitive cells capable of reconstituting all blood cell lineages throughout the life of an individual. The microenvironment in which stem cells reside is essential for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. This microenvironment, or HSC niche, has been difficult to define in bone and bone marrow, but recent studies from our laboratory and others have shown that osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells, are an essential regulatory component of this complex cellular network. We established that parathyroid hormone (PTH), through activation of the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R) in osteoblastic cells, could alter the HSC niche resulting in HSC expansion in vivo and in vitro and improving dramatically the survival of mice receiving bone marrow transplants. These findings are of great clinical appeal, because they suggest that a strategy aimed at modifying supportive cells in a stem cell niche can expand HSC. While a number of molecules have been found to be important for hematopoietic/osteoblastic interactions, we have focused on the Jagged1/Notch signaling pathway, which was necessary for the PTH-dependent HSC expansion. Since the Jagged1/Notch signaling pathway has been implicated in the microenvironmental control of stem cell self-renewal in several organ systems, definition of Jagged1 modulation, which is currently poorly understood, should provide additional molecular targets for stem cell regulation and advance the understanding of stem cell-microenvironmental interactions.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNFalpha) are bone resorptive agents that upregulate interleukin-6 (IL-6) and RANKL production by osteoblasts. IL-6 mRNA expression induced by PTH is rapid and transient in osteoblasts both in vitro and in vivo. This study found that IL-6 secretion induced by PTH is also rapid and transient. The induction of RANKL mRNA by PTH is also rapid and transient although with an extended time course compared to that of IL-6 mRNA. In contrast, the effects of TNFalpha are biphasic. During the first 2 h of stimulation with TNFalpha, the responses are similar to those induced by PTH. This is followed by a period of relatively low IL-6 and RANKL mRNA levels and little IL-6 secretion. A late phase of increased IL-6 and RANKL mRNA expression occurs 12-24 h after stimulation with TNFalpha leading to a significant increase in IL-6 secretion. A similar biphasic pattern of activation of p38 MAP kinase is induced by TNFalpha. p38alpha/beta activation is required for the increased RANKL mRNA during the early phase of stimulation by TNFalpha but not in the late phase. In contrast, p38alpha/beta activation is not required for increased IL-6 mRNA or IL-6 protein secretion in either the early or late phases of stimulation by TNFalpha. Blocking the increases in IL-6 transcription completely eliminates IL-6 secretion induced during the early phases of stimulation by either PTH or TNFalpha. Consistent with the dependence on transcription, IL-6 mRNA is rapidly degraded with half-lives of 10-14 min following stimulation with either PTH or TNFalpha. In contrast to IL-6, RANKL mRNA is substantially more stable with half-lives of 40-60 min. Taken together, our results show that TNFalpha and PTH utilize distinct mechanisms to induce IL-6 and RANKL expression with markedly different kinetics. The more extensive effect of TNFalpha likely reflects that TNFalpha stimulates IL-6 production and bone resorption in pathological situations. In contrast, the less extensive effect of PTH likely reflects that it acts in physiological situations where it is important to minimize the potential adverse effects of high levels of IL-6 on bone and/or surrounding tissues.

Abstract
Clinical data suggested that parathyroid hormone (PTH) might be effective in improving bone mass in patients with osteoporosis, providing its resorptive effects, which are particularly marked at cortical sites, were kept under control. We reviewed the evidence that intermittent PTH therapy is a valid treatment option whose predominant effect is bone anabolism. In cell culture studies, PTH affected both bone formation and bone resorption, suggesting that the net result of PTH therapy may be either bone gain or bone loss depending on the dosage, mode of administration, bone site, and animal species. Histological studies established that intermittent PTH therapy was associated with an increase in trabecular bone and, importantly, with improvements in trabecular and cortical microarchitectural parameters that have not been reported with antiresorptive drugs. This anabolic effect of intermittent PTH therapy translates into increased biomechanical strength, despite the increase in endocortical porosity seen in humans and nonhuman primates. The biochemical response profile to intermittent PTH therapy in clinical trials indicated a phase of isolated anabolism followed by an overall increase in bone remodeling that predominantly affected bone formation, the result being a large increase in spinal bone mineral density as early as the first treatment year. Thus, intermittent PTH therapy exerts predominantly anabolic effects on bone.

Abstract
The Wnt signaling pathway has recently been demonstrated to play an important role in bone cell function. In previous studies using DNA microarray analyses, we observed a change in some of the molecular components of the canonical Wnt pathway namely, frizzled-1 (FZD-1) and axil, in response to continuous parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment in rats. In the present study, we further explored other components of the Wnt signaling pathway in rat distal metaphyseal bone in vivo, and rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells (UMR 106) in culture. Several Wnt pathway components, including low-density lipoprotein-receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), LRP6, FZD-1, Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1), and Kremen-1 (KRM-1), were expressed in bone in vivo and in osteoblasts in vitro. Continuous exposure to PTH (1-38) both in vivo and in vitro upregulated the mRNA expression of LRP6 and FZD-1 and decreased LRP5 and Dkk-1. These effects in UMR 106 cells were associated with an increase in beta-catenin as measured by Western blots and resulted in functional activation (three to six-fold) of a downstream Wnt responsive TBE6-luciferase (TCF/LEF-binding element) reporter gene. Activation of the TBE6-luciferase reporter gene by PTH (1-38) in UMR 106 cells was inhibited by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H89. Activation was mimicked by PTH (1-31), PTH-related protein (1-34), and forskolin, but both PTH (3-34) and (7-34) had no effect. These findings suggest that the effect of PTH on the canonical Wnt signaling pathway occurs at least in part via the cAMP-PKA pathway through the differential regulation of the receptor complex proteins (FZD-1/LRP5 or LRP6) and the antagonist (Dkk-1). Taken together, these results reveal a possible role for the Wnt signaling pathway in PTH actions in bone.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a serious health problem that diminishes quality of life and levies a financial burden on those who fear and experience bone fractures. Physical activity as a way to prevent osteoporosis is based on evidence that it can regulate bone maintenance and stimulate bone formation including the accumulation of mineral, in addition to strengthening muscles, improving balance, and thus reducing the overall risk of falls and fractures. Currently, our understanding of how to use exercise effectively in the prevention of osteoporosis is incomplete. It is uncertain whether exercise will help accumulate more overall peak bone mass during childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Also, the consistent effectiveness of exercise to increase bone mass, or at least arrest the loss of bone mass after menopause, is also in question. Within this framework, section 1 introduces mechanical characteristics of bones to assist the reader in understanding their responses to physical activity. Section 2 reviews hormonal, nutritional and mechanical factors necessary for the growth of bones in length, width and mineral content that produce peak bone mass in the course of childhood and adolescence using a large sample of healthy Caucasian girls and female adolescents for reference. Effectiveness of exercise is evaluated throughout using absolute changes in bone with the underlying assumption that useful exercise should produce changes that approximate or exceed the absolute magnitude of bone parameters in a healthy reference population. Physical activity increases growth in width and mineral content of bones in girls and adolescent females, particularly when it is initiated before puberty, carried out in volumes and at intensities seen in athletes, and accompanied by adequate caloric and calcium intakes. Similar increases are seen in young women following the termination of statural growth in response to athletic training, but not to more limited levels of physical activity characteristic of longitudinal training studies. After 9-12 months of regular exercise, young adult women often show very small benefits to bone health, possibly because of large subject attrition rates, inadequate exercise intensity, duration or frequency, or because at this stage of life accumulation of bone mass may be at its natural peak. The important influence of hormones as well as dietary and specific nutrient abundance on bone growth and health are emphasised, and premature bone loss associated with dietary restriction and estradiol withdrawal in exercise-induced amenorrhoea is described. In section 3, the same assessment is applied to the effects of physical activity in postmenopausal women. Studies of postmenopausal women are presented from the perspective of limitations of the capacity of the skeleton to adapt to mechanical stress of exercise due to altered hormonal status and inadequate intake of specific nutrients. After menopause, effectiveness of exercise to increase bone mineral depends heavily on adequate availability of dietary calcium. Relatively infrequent evidence that physical activity prevents bone loss or increases bone mineral after menopause may be a consequence of inadequate calcium availability or low intensity of exercise in training studies. Several studies with postmenopausal women show modest increases in bone mineral toward the norm seen in a healthy population in response to high-intensity training. Physical activities continue to stimulate increases in bone diameter throughout the lifespan. These exercise-stimulated increases in bone diameter diminish the risk of fractures by mechanically counteracting the thinning of bones and increases in bone porosity. Seven principles of bone adaptation to mechanical stress are reviewed in section 4 to suggest how exercise by human subjects could be made more effective. They posit that exercise should: (i) be dynamic, not static; (ii) exceed a threshold intensity; (iii) exceed a threshold strain frequency; (iv) be relatively brief but intermittent; (v) impose an unusual loading pattern on the bones; (vi) be supported by unlimited nutrient energy; and (vii) include adequate calcium and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) availability.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), an anabolic agent for bone metabolism, has profound effects on gene expression in the osteoblast. Recently, we identified that amphiregulin (AR), an EGF-like ligand, is an immediate early gene for PTH treatment and has an important role in bone metabolism. In the present report, by using different PTH peptide fragments, protein kinase activators, and inhibitors, we have demonstrated that PTH regulates amphiregulin in a cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo. We found that the phosphorylation of cAMP-response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB) preceded AR transcription after PTH treatment. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays revealed that the binding of phosphorylated CREB to a conserved CRE site in the AR promoter plays an important role in basal, PTH-induced, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-induced AR expression in osteoblastic cells. In summary, our data suggest that PTH-induced AR mRNA expression is mediated primarily through cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling.

Abstract
Teriparatide, human PTH (1-34), a new therapy for osteoporosis, elicits markedly different skeletal responses depending on the treatment regimen. In order to understand potential mechanisms for this dichotomy, the present investigation utilized microarrays to delineate the genes and pathways that are regulated by intermittent (subcutaneous injection of 80 microg/kg/day) and continuous (subcutaneous infusion of 40 microg/kg/day by osmotic mini pump) PTH (1-34) for 1 week in 6-month-old female rats. The effect of each PTH regimen was confirmed by histomorphometric analysis of the proximal tibial metaphysis, and mRNA from the distal femoral metaphysis was analyzed using an Affymetrix microarray. Both PTH paradigms co-regulated 22 genes including known bone formation genes (i.e., collagens, osteocalcin, decorin, and osteonectin) and also uniquely modulated additional genes. Intermittent PTH regulated 19 additional genes while continuous treatment regulated 173 additional genes. This investigation details for the first time the broad profiling of the gene and pathway changes that occur in vivo following treatment of intermittent versus continuous PTH (1-34). These results extend previous observations of gene expression changes and reveal the in vivo regulation of BMP3 and multiple neuronal genes by PTH treatment.
