Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element for the human body. Abnormalities in copper metabolism can lead to bone defects, mainly by directly affecting the viability of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and their bone remodeling function, or indirectly regulating bone metabolism by influencing enzyme activities as cofactors. Copper ions released from biological materials can affect osteoblasts and osteoclasts, either directly or indirectly by modulating the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and rapamycin signaling. This review presents an overview of recent progress in the impact of copper on bone metabolism. Translational potential of this article: The impact of copper on bone metabolism can provide insights into clinical application of copper-containing supplements and biomaterials.

The potential and limitations of intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids to study inborn errors of metabolism. J Inherit Metab Dis 2022; 45:353-365. [PMID: 34671987 PMCID: PMC9298016 DOI: 10.1002/jimd.12450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) comprise a diverse group of individually rare monogenic disorders that affect metabolic pathways. Mutations lead to enzymatic deficiency or dysfunction, which results in intermediate metabolite accumulation or deficit leading to disease phenotypes. Currently, treatment options for many IEMs are insufficient. Rarity of individual IEMs hampers therapy development and phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity suggest beneficial effects of personalized approaches. Recently, cultures of patient-own liver-derived intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs) have been established. Since most metabolic genes are expressed in the liver, patient-derived ICOs represent exciting possibilities for in vitro modeling and personalized drug testing for IEMs. However, the exact application range of ICOs remains unclear. To address this, we examined which metabolic pathways can be studied with ICOs and what the potential and limitations of patient-derived ICOs are to model metabolic functions. We present functional assays in patient ICOs with defects in branched-chain amino acid metabolism (methylmalonic acidemia), copper metabolism (Wilson disease), and transporter defects (cystic fibrosis). We discuss the broad range of functional assays that can be applied to ICOs, but also address the limitations of these patient-specific cell models. In doing so, we aim to guide the selection of the appropriate cell model for studies of a specific disease or metabolic process.

Abstract
Aim: To delineate the association of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and Wnt-proteins including the agonist R-spondin-1, the transducer β-catenin and the antagonists DKK1 and sclerostin. Materials & methods: Serum Wnt-pathway proteins levels were measured by ELISA in 60 ESRD patients and 30 normal controls. Results: DKK1 and sclerostin were significantly higher in ESRD than in controls, and β-catenin and the catenin + R-spondin-1/DKK1 + sclerostin ratio, reflecting the ratio of agonist and transducer on antagonists (AT/ANTA), were significantly lower in ESRD. Estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly associated with DKK1 and sclerostin (inversely), β-catenin (positively) and the AT/ANTA ratio (r = 0.468, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Wnt/β-catenin pathway proteins show significant alterations in ESRD, indicating significantly increased levels of antagonists.

Abstract
Genetic disorders of the skeleton encompass a diverse group of bone diseases differing in clinical characteristics, severity, incidence and molecular etiology. Of particular interest are the monogenic rare bone mass disorders, with the underlying genetic defect contributing to either low or high bone mass phenotype. Extensive, deep phenotyping coupled with high-throughput, cost-effective genotyping is crucial in the characterization and diagnosis of affected individuals. Massive parallel sequencing efforts have been instrumental in the discovery of novel causal genes that merit functional validation using in vitro and ex vivo cell-based techniques, and in vivo models, mainly mice and zebrafish. These translational models also serve as an excellent platform for therapeutic discovery, bridging the gap between basic science research and the clinic. Altogether, genetic studies of monogenic rare bone mass disorders have broadened our knowledge on molecular signaling pathways coordinating bone development and metabolism, disease inheritance patterns, development of new and improved bone biomarkers, and identification of novel drug targets. In this comprehensive review we describe approaches to further enhance the innovative processes taking discoveries from clinic to bench, and then back to clinic in rare bone mass disorders. We highlight the importance of cross laboratory collaboration to perform functional validation in multiple model systems after identification of a novel disease gene. We describe the monogenic forms of rare low and high rare bone mass disorders known to date, provide a roadmap to unravel the genetic determinants of monogenic rare bone mass disorders using proper phenotyping and genotyping methods, and describe different genetic validation approaches paving the way for future treatments.

Abstract
Copper is a trace element indispensable for life, but at the same time it is implicated in reactive oxygen species formation. Several inherited copper storage diseases are described of which Wilson disease (copper overload, mutations in ATP7B gene) and Menkes disease (copper deficiency, mutations in ATP7A gene) are the most prominent ones. After the discovery in 2002 of a novel gene product (i.e. COMMD1) involved in hepatic copper handling in Bedlington terriers, studies on the mechanism of action of COMMD1 revealed numerous non-copper related functions. Effects on hepatic copper handling are likely mediated via interactions with ATP7B. In addition, COMMD1 has many more interacting partners which guide their routing to either the plasma membrane or, often in an ubiquitination-dependent fashion, trigger their proteolysis via the S26 proteasome. By stimulating NF-κB ubiquitination, COMMD1 dampens an inflammatory reaction. Finally, targeting COMMD1 function can be a novel approach in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Results of recent studies have shown that disease models using human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have recapitulated the pathophysiology of genetic liver diseases, viral hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis. The utilization of human iPS cells as a model of liver diseases has several substantial advantages compared with primary hepatocytes and cancer cell lines, such as the potential for unlimited expansion and similarity of biological characteristics to normal liver cells. In this review, we have focused on modeling liver diseases using human iPS cells and discussed the experimental evidence that supports the utility of such disease models, including that in our recent studies. Genetically modified or patient-derived human iPS cells can mimic congenital liver disease phenotypes. Human iPS-derived hepatic cells can be infected with the hepatitis viruses. The co-culture of human iPS-derived hepatocytes and mesenchyme partially mimics the process of liver fibrosis. Human iPS cell-derived hepatic cells and the co-culture system of such cells will contribute to the progress of studies on the pathophysiology of genetic and non-genetic liver diseases and development of novel therapeutic strategies for treating liver diseases.
