Abstract
We previously reported that septoclasts, which are uncalcified growth plate (GP) cartilage matrix-resorbing cells, are derived from pericytes surrounding capillary endothelial cells. Resorption of the GP is assumed to be regulated synchronously by septoclasts, pericytes, and endothelial cells. To reveal the contribution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to the regulatory mechanisms of septoclastic cartilage resorption, we investigated the spatial correlation between the cells and the ECM in the GP matrix and basement membrane (BM) and investigated the expression of integrins-ECM receptors-in the cells. Septoclasts attached to the transverse septa containing collagen-II/-X at the tip of their processes and to the longitudinal septa containing collagen-II/-X at the spine-like processes extending from their bodies and processes. Collagen-IV and laminin α4 in the BM were sparsely detected between septoclasts and capillary endothelial cells at the chondro-osseous junction (COJ) and were absent in the outer surface of pericytes at the metaphysis. Integrin α1/α2, integrin α1, and integrin α2/α6 were detected in the cell membranes of septoclasts, pericytes, and endothelial cells, respectively. These results suggest that the adhesion between septoclasts and the cartilage ECM forming the scaffolds for cartilage resorption and migration is provided by integrin α2-collagen-II/-X interaction and that the adhesions between the BM and pericytes or endothelial cells are mediated by integrin α1-collagen-IV and integrin α2/α6-laminin interaction, respectively.

Abstract
Meckel's cartilage (MC) in the first branchial arch of mammals is a transient structure that disappears before birth, except for the most anterior and posterior portions. Recent studies reported that some congenital abnormalities in craniofacial regions are linked with the persistence or dysplasia of MC. However, the mechanisms underlying the resorption of MC have not been elucidated. Cartilage resorption in endochondral ossification is performed by multinuclear osteoclasts/chondroclasts as well as mononuclear septoclasts, which were newly added to the list of cartilage phagocytes. Septoclasts located exclusively at the chondro-osseous junction of the growth plate resorb the uncalcified cartilage matrix. We hypothesized that septoclasts participate in the resorption of MC and attempted to clarify the localization and roles of septoclasts in MC of mouse using a specific immunohistochemistry marker, epidermal type-fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP/FABP5). E-FABP-immunopositive septoclasts were detected for the first time at the beginning of MC resorption and localized along the resorption surface. Septoclasts of MC in embryonic mice possessed several processes that elongated toward the uncalcified cartilage matrix, expressed cathepsin B, and exhibited characteristic pericapillary localization. Additionally, they localized between hypertrophied cartilage and osteoclasts/chondroclasts in the resorption surface. Confocal laser-scanning microscopy revealed a decrease in the numbers of septoclasts and their processes with the progression of MC disappearance before birth. The present study showed that E-FABP-immunopositive septoclasts participated in the disappearance of MC through the resorption of the uncalcified cartilage matrix and that they have different roles from osteoclasts/chondroclasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and retinoic acid (RA) are abundant in the growth plates (GPs) of long bones; however, their roles have not been elucidated. We observed that epidermal fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP/FABP5) with a high affinity for both LCFAs and RA is exclusively expressed in the septoclasts located at the chondro-osseous junction (COJ) of the GP. HIGHLIGHTS E-FABP expressed in septoclasts is involved in both LCFA metabolism and RA signaling as an intracellular transporter of both LCFAs and RA. Septoclasts with shortened cytoplasmic processes are associated with cartilage resorptive activity downregulation because of E-FABP deficiency or excess or deficiency of RA. In ontogeny, the septoclasts are differentiated from the pericytes and involved in the resorption of the uncalcified matrix of the cartilage templates in endochondral ossification. CONCLUSION Septoclasts originate from pericytes and express E-FABP to play crucial roles in uncalcified matrix resorption by LCFA metabolism and RA signaling during endochondral ossification.

Abstract
The current models of osteoclastic bone resorption focus on immobile osteoclasts sitting on the bone surface and drilling a pit into the bone matrix. It recently appeared that many osteoclasts also enlarge their pit by moving across the bone surface while resorbing. Drilling a pit thus represents only the start of a resorption event of much larger amplitude. This prolonged resorption activity significantly contributes to pathological bone destruction, but the mechanism whereby the osteoclast engages in this process does not have an answer within the standard bone resorption models. Herein, we review observations that lead to envision how prolonged resorption is possible through simultaneous resorption and migration. According to the standard pit model, the “sealing zone” which surrounds the ruffled border (i.e., the actual resorption apparatus), “anchors” the ruffled border against the bone surface to be resorbed. Herein, we highlight that continuation of resorption demands that the sealing zone “glides” inside the cavity. Thereby, the sealing zone emerges as the structure responsible for orienting and displacing the ruffled border, e.g., directing resorption against the cavity wall. Importantly, sealing zone displacement stringently requires thorough collagen removal from the cavity wall - which renders strong cathepsin K collagenolysis indispensable for engagement of osteoclasts in cavity-enlargement. Furthermore, the sealing zone is associated with generation of new ruffled border at the leading edge, thereby allowing the ruffled border to move ahead. The sealing zone and ruffled border displacements are coordinated with the migration of the cell body, shown to be under control of lamellipodia at the leading edge and of the release of resorption products at the rear. We propose that bone resorption demands more attention to osteoclastic models integrating resorption and migration activities into just one cell phenotype.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma promotes systemic skeletal bone disease that greatly contributes to patient morbidity. Resorption of type I collagen-rich bone matrix by activated osteoclasts results in the release of sequestered growth factors that can drive progression of the disease. Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13) is a collagenase expressed predominantly in the skeleton by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and MSC-derived osteoblasts. Histochemical analysis of human multiple myeloma specimens also demonstrated that MMP13 largely localizes to the stromal compartment compared with CD138+ myeloma cells. In this study, we further identified that multiple myeloma induces MMP13 expression in bone stromal cells. Because of its ability to degrade type I collagen, we examined whether bone stromal-derived MMP13 contributed to myeloma progression. Multiple myeloma cells were inoculated into wild-type or MMP13-null mice. In independent in vivo studies, MMP13-null mice demonstrated significantly higher overall survival rates and lower levels of bone destruction compared with wild-type controls. Unexpectedly, no differences in type I collagen processing between the groups were observed. Ex vivo stromal coculture assays showed reduced formation and activity in MMP13-null osteoclasts. Analysis of soluble factors from wild-type and MMP13-null MSCs revealed decreased bioavailability of various osteoclastogenic factors including CXCL7. CXCL7 was identified as a novel MMP13 substrate and regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Underscoring the importance of host MMP13 catalytic activity in multiple myeloma progression, we demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of a novel and highly selective MMP13 inhibitor that provides a translational opportunity for the treatment of this incurable disease. SIGNIFICANCE: Genetic and pharmacologic approaches show that bone stromal-derived MMP13 catalytic activity is critical for osteoclastogenesis, bone destruction, and disease progression.

Expression and enhancement of FABP4 in septoclasts of the growth plate in FABP5-deficient mouse tibiae. Histochem Cell Biol 2021; 155:439-449.

Abstract
In our previous study, fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) was expressed in septoclasts with long processes which are considered to resorb uncalcified matrix of the growth plate (GP) cartilage, and no apparent abnormalities were detected in the histo-architecture of the GP of FABP5-deficient (FABP5−/−) mice. Those finding lead us to hypothesize that another FABP can compensate the deletion of FABP5 in septoclasts of its gene-mutant mice. Based on the hypothesis, the present study examined the expression levels of several other FABPs in septoclasts and their morphology in FABP5−/− mouse tibiae. Processes of FABP5−/− septoclasts tend to be shorter than wild septoclasts. FABP4-positive septoclasts in FABP5−/− mice were more numerous than those cells in wild mice. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ was expressed in FABP4-positive septoclasts of FABP5−/− mice as well as mice administered with GW1929, a PPARγ agonist, suggesting that the occurrence of PPARγ induces an increase of FABP4-positive septoclasts. The present finding suggests that the functional exertion of FABP5 in septoclasts is supplemented by FABP4 in normal and FABP5−/− mice, and that the expression of FABP4 is up-regulated in accompany with PPARγ in FABP5−/− for maintenance of resorptive activity in the GP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liposomes containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and phosphatidylserine were claimed to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption in the inflammatory status. Herein, we proposed that an apoptotic mimicry (SQ liposome) prepared from squid-skin phospholipids can explore the suppressive osteoclastogenesis. METHODS The intermolecular fatty-acid composition in the phospholipid of squid-skin extract was analyzed by GC-FID. The SQ liposome structure was characterized by size distribution and zeta potential (ζ). RAW 264.7 cell is used to study the effect of SQ liposomes on osteoclast differentiation. Secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) from RAW 264.7 cells were assayed. Antiosteoclastogenesis effects were performed via the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cell (MNC) counting, bone resorption pit assay, and TRAP activity analysis. The specific gene expressions related to antiosteoclastogenesis were also detected. RESULTS An apoptotic mimicry through the use of a single-layer liposome (SQ liposome) with phosphatidylserine exposure contains DHA (28.7%) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 11.8%). Co-treatment with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)/macrophage colony-stimulating factor induced RAW 264.7-cell differentiation into mature osteoclasts, thus enhancing PGE2 and TGF-β secretion. However, cotreatment with 1 mg/mL of SQ liposome restored (p < 0.05) the cell viabilities under the RANKL stress. Increased PGE2 levels was downregulated (p < 0.05) in cotreatments with 0.11 and 0.33 mg/mL of SQ liposome, but on the TGF-β levels were not (p > 0.05) influenced in SQ liposome cotreatments. Cotreatments with 0.33-1 mg/mL of SQ liposome suppressed (p < 0.05) the osteoclast maturation (such as decreased MNCs and bone pit formation), inhibited TRAP activities, and downregulated the osteoclastogenesis-related gene expressions. CONCLUSION In summary, current data support that a possible prevention of our prepared SQ liposomes which are rich in DHA and EPA on bone loss is through the suppression of osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, based on the results from this study an in vivo study warrants a further investigation.

Abstract
Proper bone remodeling necessarily requires that osteoblasts reconstruct the bone that osteoclasts have resorbed. However, the cellular events connecting resorption to reconstruction have remained poorly known. The consequence is a fragmentary understanding of the remodeling cycle where only the resorption and formation steps are taken into account. New tools have recently made possible to elucidate how resorption shifts to formation, thereby allowing to comprehend the remodeling cycle as a whole. This new knowledge is reviewed herein. It shows how teams of osteoclasts and osteoblast lineage cells are progressively established and how they are subjected therein to reciprocal interactions. Contrary to the common view, osteoclasts and osteoprogenitors are intermingled on the eroded surfaces. The analysis of the resorption and cell population dynamics shows that osteoprogenitor cell expansion and resorption proceed as an integrated mechanism; that a threshold cell density of osteoprogenitors on the eroded surface is mandatory for onset of bone formation; that the cell initiating osteoprogenitor cell expansion is the osteoclast; and that the osteoclast therefore triggers putative osteoprogenitor reservoirs positioned at proximity of the eroded bone surface (bone lining cells, canopy cells, pericytes). The interplay between magnitude of resorption and rate of cell expansion governs how soon bone reconstruction is initiated and may determine uncoupling and permanent bone loss if a threshold cell density is not reached. The clinical perspectives opened by these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Osteoclasts, the multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption, have an enormous destructive power which demands to be kept under tight control. Accordingly, the identification of molecular signals directing osteoclastogenesis and switching on their resorptive activity have received much attention. Mandatory factors were identified, but a very essential aspect of the control mechanism of osteoclastic resorption, i.e. its spatial control, remains poorly understood. Under physiological conditions, multinucleated osteoclasts are only detected on the bone surface, while their mono-nucleated precursors are only in the bone marrow. How are pre-osteoclasts targeted to the bone surface? How is their progressive differentiation coordinated with their approach to the bone surface sites to be resorbed, which is where they finally fuse? Here we review the information on the bone marrow distribution of differentiating pre-osteoclasts relative to the position of the mandatory factors for their differentiation as well as relative to physical entities that may affect their access to the remodelling sites. This info allows recognizing an "osteoclastogenesis route" through the bone marrow and leading to the coincident fusion/resorption site - but also points to what still remains to be clarified regarding this route and regarding the restriction of fusion at the resorption site. Finally, we discuss the mechanism responsible for the start of resorption and its spatial extension. This review underscores that fully understanding the control of bone resorption requires to consider it in both space and time - which demands taking into account the context of bone tissue.

Osteoblast lineage cells in human bone were recently shown to colonize eroded bone surfaces and to closely interact with osteoclasts. They proved to be identical to reversal cells and are believed to differentiate into bone-forming osteoblasts thereby coupling resorption and formation. However, they also exert catabolic activity that contributes to osteoclastic bone resorption, but this has not received much attention. Herein, we used co-cultures of primary human osteoblast lineage cells and human osteoclasts derived from peripheral blood monocytes to investigate whether a catabolic activity of osteoblast lineage cells could impact on osteoclastic bone resorption. Through a combination of immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization and time-lapse experiments, we show that MMP-13-expressing osteoblast lineage cells are attracted to and closely interact with bone-resorbing osteoclasts. This close interaction results in a strong and significant increase in the bone resorptive activity of osteoclasts - especially those making trenches. Importantly, we show that osteoclastic bone resorption becomes sensitive to inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases in the presence, but not in the absence, of osteoblast lineage cells. We propose that this may be due to the direct action of osteoblast-lineage-derived MMP-13 on bone resorption.

An in situ hybridization study of MMP-2, -9, -13, -14, TIMP-1, and -2 mRNA in fetal mouse mandibular condylar cartilage as compared with limb bud cartilage. Gene Expr Patterns 2019; 32:1-11. [PMID: 30822518 DOI: 10.1016/j.gep.2019.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 02/21/2019] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The main purpose of this in situ hybridization study was to investigate MMPs and TIMPs mRNA expression in developing mandibular condylar cartilage and limb bud cartilage. At E14.0, MMP-2, -14, TIMP-1 and -2 mRNAs were expressed in the periosteum of mandibular bone, and in the condylar anlage. At E15.0 MMP-2, -14, TIMP-1 and -2 mRNAs were expressed in the perichondrium of newly formed condylar cartilage and the periosteum of developing bone collar, whereas, expression of MMP-14 and TIMP-1 mRNAs were restricted to the inner layer of the periosteum/perichondrium. This expression patterns continued until E18.0. Further, from E13.0 to 14.0, in the developing tibial cartilage, MMP-2, -14, and TIMP-2 mRNAs were expressed in the periosteum/perichondrium, but weak MMP-14 and no TIMP-1 mRNA expression was recognized in the perichondrium. These results confirmed that the perichondrium of condylar cartilage has characteristics of periosteum, and suggested that MMPs and/or TIMPs are more actively involved in the development of condylar (secondary) cartilage than tibial (primary) cartilage. MMP-9-positive cells were observed in the bone collar of both types of cartilage, and they were consistent with osteoclasts/chondroclasts. MMP-13 mRNA expression was restricted to the chondrocytes of the lower hypertrophic cell zone in tibial cartilage at E14.0, indicating MMP-13 can be used as a marker for lower hypertrophic cell zone. It was also expressed in chondrocytes of newly formed condylar cartilage at E15.0, and continuously expressed in the lower hypertrophic cell zone until E18.0. These results confirmed that progenitor cells of condylar cartilage are rapidly differentiated into hypertrophic chondrocytes, which is a unique structural feature of secondary cartilage different from that of primary cartilage.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stromal cells that display self-renewal and multipotent differentiation capacity. The repertoire of mature cells generated ranges but is not restricted to: fat, bone and cartilage. Their potential importance for both cell therapy and maintenance of in vivo homeostasis is indisputable. Nonetheless, both their in vivo identity and use in cell therapy remain elusive. A drawback generated by this fact is that little is known about the MSC niche and how it impacts differentiation and homeostasis maintenance. Hence, the roles played by the extracellular matrix (ECM) and its main regulators namely: the Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their counteracting inhibitors (TIMPs and RECK) upon stem cells differentiation are only now beginning to be unveiled. Here, we will focus on mesenchymal stem cells and review the main mechanisms involved in adipo, chondro and osteogenesis, discussing how the extracellular matrix can impact not only lineage commitment, but, also, their survival and potentiality. This review critically analyzes recent work in the field in an effort towards a better understanding of the roles of Matrix Metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in the above-cited events.

Abstract
Septoclasts are mononuclear spindle-shaped phagocytes with their long processes in uncalcified cartilage matrices and locate adjacent to the capillary endothelium at the chondro-osseous junction of the growth plate. We have previously revealed a selective expression of epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP/FABP5) in septoclasts. Although, pericytes are known to distribute along capillaries and directly surround their endothelial cells in a situation similar to septoclasts, no clear evidence is available on the relationship between septoclasts and pericytes. We investigated the chronological localization and morphological change of septoclasts during development of the tibia of mice to clarify the development of septoclasts and the immune-localization of pericyte markers in septoclasts to clarify the origin of septoclasts. E-FABP-immunoreactive septoclasts emerged at the perichondrium in the middle of the cartilaginous templates of the tibia in prenatal development. Septoclasts migrated to the surface of the cartilage adjacent to invading blood vessels. Processes of septoclasts became longer and their apexes attached to Von Kossa-negative uncalcified matrices during the formation process of the primary ossification center. Not only platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, but also neuron-glial antigen 2 was localized in septoclasts of mice from E15 (embryonic day 15) to P6w (postnatal 6 week). Our results suggest that septoclasts are originated from pericytes and involved in the blood vessel invasion during formation of the primary ossification center.

Abstract
The proteolytic processing of collagen (collagenolysis) is critical in development and homeostasis, but also contributes to numerous pathologies. Mammalian interstitial collagenolytic enzymes include members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family and cathepsin K. While MMPs have long been recognized for their ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of collagen, the roles of individual MMPs in physiological and pathological collagenolysis are less defined. The use of knockout and mutant animal models, which reflect human diseases, has revealed distinct collagenolytic roles for MT1-MMP and MMP-13. A better understanding of temporal and spatial collagen processing, along with the knowledge of the specific MMP involved, will ultimately lead to more effective treatments for cancer, arthritis, cardiovascular conditions, and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Septoclasts, which are mononuclear and spindle-shaped cells with many processes, have been considered to resorb the transverse septa of the growth plate (GP) cartilage at the chondro-osseous junction (COJ). We previously reported the expression of epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP, FABP5) and localization of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ, which mediates the cell survival or proliferation, in septoclasts. On the other hand, retinoic acid (RA) can bind to E-FABP and is stored abundantly in the GP cartilage. From these information, it is possible to hypothesize that RA in the GP is incorporated into septoclasts during the cartilage resorption and regulates the growth and/or death of septoclasts. To clarify the mechanism of the cartilage resorption induced by RA, we administered an overdose of RA or its precursor vitamin A (VA)-deficient diet to young mice. In mice of both RA excess and VA deficiency, septoclasts decreased in the number and cell size in association with shorter and lesser processes than those in normal mice, suggesting a substantial suppression of resorption by septoclasts in the GP cartilage. Lack of PPARβ/δ-expression, TUNEL reaction, RA receptor (RAR)β, and cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP)-II were induced in E-FABP-positive septoclasts under RA excess, suggesting the growth arrest/cell-death of septoclasts, whereas cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP) inducing the cell growth arrest or morphological changes was induced in septoclasts under VA deficiency. These results support and do not conflict with our hypothesis, suggesting that endogenous RA in the GP is possibly incorporated in septoclasts and utilized to regulate the activity of septoclasts resorbing the GP cartilage.

Abstract
The formation of new blood vessels from a pre-existing vascular bed, termed “angiogenesis,” is of critical importance for the growth and development of the animal since it is required for the growth of the skeleton during endochondral ossification, development and cycling of the corpus luteum and uterus, and for the repair of tissues during wound healing. “Vasculogenesis,” the de novo formation of blood vessels is also important for the proper function and development of the vascular system in the embryo. New blood vessel formation is a prominent feature and permissive factor in the relentless progression of many human diseases, one of the most important examples of which is neoplasia. It is for this reason that angiogenesis is considered to be one of the hallmarks of cancer. The development of new classes of drugs that inhibit the growth and proper functioning of new blood vessels in vivo is likely to provide significant therapeutic benefit in the treatment of cancer, as well as other conditions where angiogenesis is a strong driver to the disease process. During the preclinical safety testing of these drugs, it is becoming increasingly clear that their in vivo efficacy is reflected in the profile of “expected toxicity” (resulting from pharmacology) observed in laboratory animals, so much so, that this profile of “desired” toxicity may act as a signature for their anti-angiogenic effect. In this article we review the major mechanisms controlling angiogenesis and its role during endochondral ossification. We also review the effects of perturbation of endochondral ossification through four mechanisms—inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pp60 c-Src kinase and matrix metalloproteinases as well as disruption of the blood supply with vascular targeting agents. Inhibition through each of these mechanisms appears to have broadly similar effects on the epiphyseal growth plate characterised by thickening due to the retention of hypertrophic chondrocytes resulting from the inhibition of angiogenesis. In contrast, in the metaphysis there are differing effects reflecting the specific role of these targets at this site.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are unique cells that destroy the mineralized matrix of the skeleton. There is a "love-hate" relationship between the osteoclasts and the bone matrix, whereby the osteoclast is stimulated by the contact with the matrix but, at the same time, it disrupts the matrix, which, in turn, counteracts this disruption by some of its components. The balance between these concerted events brings about bone resorption to be controlled and to contribute to bone tissue integrity and skeletal health. The matrix components released by osteoclasts are also involved in the local regulation of other bone cells and in the systemic control of organismal homeostasis. Disruption of this regulatory loop causes bone diseases, which may end up with either reduced or increased bone mass, often associated with poor bone quality. Expanding the knowledge on osteoclast-to-matrix interaction could help to counteract these diseases and improve the human bone health. In this article, we will present evidence of the physical, molecular and regulatory relationships between the osteoclasts and the mineralized matrix, discussing the underlying mechanisms as well as their pathologic alterations and potential targeting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that the non-neuronal cholinergic system might be of importance for the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis. The role of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) in this regard has, however, not been investigated to date. Thus, in the present study we analyzed if M3R deficiency might have a protective effect on experimentally induced arthritis. METHODS Collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) was evoked in M3R-deficient (M3R(-/-)) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates. Severity of arthritis was assessed by scoring of paw swelling. The joints of arthritic and nonarthritic animals were analyzed for histopathological changes regarding synovial tissue, cartilage degradation and bone destruction. Further, gene expression analysis of respective markers was performed. Systemic and local inflammatory response was determined by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry for leukocytes as well as mRNA and protein measurements for pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. RESULTS In arthritic M3R(-/-) mice the number of leukocytes, specifically neutrophils, was enhanced even though clinical arthritis score was not significantly different between WT and M3R(-/-) mice with CAIA. In M3R(-/-) mice, levels of neutrophil chemoattractant chemokine C-X-C-motif ligand 2 (CXCL2) as well as the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 were already strongly increased in mice with low arthritis score, whereas WT mice only showed prominent expression of these markers when reaching high arthritis scores. Furthermore, arthritic M3R(-/-) mice displayed a stronger degradation of collagen II in the articular cartilage and, most strikingly, histopathological evaluation revealed more severe bone destruction in arthritic mice with M3R deficiency compared to WT littermates. Moreover, in M3R(-/-) mice, gene expression of markers for bone degradation (matrix metalloproteinase 13, cathepsin K and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand) was already increased in mice with low arthritis score. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the present study shows that while M3R(-/-) mice were not protected from CAIA, they had a tendency toward a higher inflammatory response after arthritis induction than WT mice. Further, arthritis-induced joint destruction was significantly stronger in mice with M3R deficiency, indicating that stimulation of M3R might have protective effects on arthritis.

Abstract
AIMS Elevated activity of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and MMPs in human arteries is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and plaque rupture. We used Apoe-null mice with macrophage-specific uPA overexpression (SR-uPA mice; a well-characterized model of protease-accelerated atherosclerosis) to investigate whether systemic inhibition of proteolytic activity of uPA or a subset of MMPs can reduce protease-induced atherosclerosis and aortic dilation. METHODS AND RESULTS SR-uPA mice were fed a high-fat diet for 10 weeks and treated either with an antibody inhibiting mouse uPA (mU1) or a control antibody. mU1-treated mice were also compared with PBS-treated non-uPA-overexpressing Apoe-null mice. Other SR-uPA mice were treated with one of three doses of a limited-spectrum synthetic MMP inhibitor (XL784) or vehicle. mU1 reduced aortic root intimal lesion area (20%; P = 0.05) and aortic root circumference (12%; P = 0.01). All XL784 doses reduced aortic root intimal lesion area (22-29%) and oil-red-O-positive lesion area (36-42%; P < 0.05 for all doses and both end points), with trends towards reduced aortic root circumference (6-10%). Neither mU1 nor XL784 significantly altered percent aortic surface lesion coverage. Several lines of evidence identified MMP-13 as a mediator of uPA-induced aortic MMP activity. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacological inhibition of either uPA or selected MMPs decreased atherosclerosis in SR-uPA mice. uPA inhibition decreased aortic dilation. Differential effects of both agents on aortic root vs. distal aortic atherosclerosis suggest prevention of atherosclerosis progression vs. initiation. Systemic inhibition of uPA or a subset of MMPs shows promise for treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix of the immature and mature skeleton is key to the development and function of the skeletal system. Notwithstanding its importance, it has been technically challenging to obtain a comprehensive picture of the changes in skeletal composition throughout the development of bone and cartilage. In this study, we analyzed the extracellular protein composition of the zebrafish skeleton using a mass spectrometry-based approach, resulting in the identification of 262 extracellular proteins, including most of the bone and cartilage specific proteins previously reported in mammalian species. By comparing these extracellular proteins at larval, juvenile, and adult developmental stages, 123 proteins were found that differed significantly in abundance during development. Proteins with a reported function in bone formation increased in abundance during zebrafish development, while analysis of the cartilage matrix revealed major compositional changes during development. The protein list includes ligands and inhibitors of various signaling pathways implicated in skeletogenesis such as the Int/Wingless as well as the insulin-like growth factor signaling pathways. This first proteomic analysis of zebrafish skeletal development reveals that the zebrafish skeleton is comparable with the skeleton of other vertebrate species including mammals. In addition, our study reveals 6 novel proteins that have never been related to vertebrate skeletogenesis and shows a surprisingly large number of differences in the cartilage and bone proteome between the head, axis and caudal fin regions. Our study provides the first systematic assessment of bone and cartilage protein composition in an entire vertebrate at different stages of development.

Søe K, Merrild DMH, Delaissé JM. Steering the osteoclast through the demineralization-collagenolysis balance. Bone 2013; 56:191-8. [PMID: 23777960 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2013.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2013] [Revised: 06/05/2013] [Accepted: 06/08/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
There is a lot of interest for how and how much osteoclasts resorb bone. However, little is known about the mechanism which controls the orientation and the duration of a resorptive event, thereby determining the specific geometry of a cavitation. Here we show that the relative rate of collagenolysis vs. demineralization plays a critical role in this process. First we observed that when culturing osteoclasts on bone slices, excavations appeared either as round pits containing demineralized collagen, or as elongated trenches without demineralized collagen. This suggests that round pits are generated when collagen degradation is slower than demineralization, and trenches when collagen degradation is as fast as demineralization. Next we treated the osteoclasts with a low dose of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor to slightly decrease the rate of demineralization, thereby allowing collagen degradation to proceed as fast as demineralization. This resulted in about a two-fold increase of the proportion of trenches, thus supporting our hypothesis. The same result was obtained if facilitating collagen degradation by pre-treating the bone slices with NaOCl. In contrast, when decreasing the rate of collagenolysis vs. demineralization by the addition of a cathepsin K specific inhibitor, the proportion of trenches fell close to 0%, and furthermore the round pits became almost half as deep. These observations lead to a model where the osteoclast resorption route starts perpendicularly to the bone surface, forming a pit, and continues parallel to the bone surface, forming a trench. Importantly, we show that the progress of the osteoclast along this route depends on the balance between the rate of collagenolysis and demineralization. We propose that the osteocytes and bone lining cells surrounding the osteoclast may act on this balance to steer the osteoclast resorptive activity in order to give the excavations a specific shape.

Abstract
Comprehending the pathogenesis of giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is of critical importance for developing novel targeted treatments for this locally-aggressive primary bone tumor. GCT is characterized by the presence of large multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells distributed amongst mononuclear spindle-like stromal cells and other monocytes. The giant cells are principally responsible for the extensive bone resorption by the tumor. However, the spindle-like stromal cells chiefly direct the pathology of the tumor by recruiting monocytes and promoting their fusion into giant cells. The stromal cells also enhance the resorptive ability of the giant cells. This review encompasses many of the attributes of GCT, including the process of giant cell formation and the mechanisms of bone resorption. The significance of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in the development of GCT and the importance of proteases, including numerous matrix metalloproteinases, are highlighted. The mesenchymal lineage of the stromal cells and the origin of the hematopoietic monocytes are also discussed. Several aspects of GCT that require further understanding, including the etiology of the tumor, the mechanisms of metastases, and the development of an appropriate animal model, are also considered. By exploring the current status of GCT research, this review accentuates the significant progress made in understanding the biology of the tumor, and discusses important areas for future investigation.

Abstract
Simvastatin (SIM), a drug commonly administered for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, has been recently reported to induce bone regeneration/formation. In this study, we investigated the properties of hydrogel composed of gelatin-poly(ethylene glycol)-tyramine (GPT) as an efficient SIM delivery vehicle that can trigger osteogenic differentiation. Sustained delivery of SIM was achieved through its encapsulation in an injectable, biodegradable GPT-hydrogel. Cross-linking of the gelatin-based GPT-hydrogel was induced by the reaction of horse radish peroxidase and H(2)O(2). GPT-hydrogels of three different matrix stiffness, 1,800 (GPT-hydrogel1), 5,800 (GPT-hydrogel2), and 8,400 Pa (GPT-hydrogel3) were used. The gelation/degradation time and SIM release profiles of hydrogels loaded with two different concentrations of SIM, 1 and 3 mg/ml, were also evaluated. Maximum swelling times of GPT-hydrogel1, GPT-hydrogel2, and GPT-hydrogel3 were observed to be 6, 12, and 20 days, respectively. All GPT-hydrogels showed complete degradation within 55 days. The in vitro SIM release profiles, investigated in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at 37°C, exhibited typical biphasic release patterns with the initial burst being more rapid with GPT-hydrogel1 compared with GPT-hydrogel3. Substantial increase in matrix metalloproteinase-13, osteocalcin expression levels, and mineralization were seen in osteogenic differentiation system using MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with GPT-hydrogels loaded with SIM in a dose-dependent manner. This study demonstrated that controlled release of SIM from a biodegradable, injectable GPT-hydrogel had a promising role for long-term treatment of chronic degenerative diseases such as disc degenerative disease.

Abstract
Like bone mass, bone quality is specified in development, actively maintained postnatally, and disrupted by disease. The roles of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes in the regulation of bone mass are increasingly well defined. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which bone quality is regulated remain unclear. Proteins that remodel bone extracellular matrix, such as the collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, are likely candidates to regulate bone quality. Using MMP-13-deficient mice, we examined the role of MMP-13 in the remodeling and maintenance of bone matrix and subsequent fracture resistance. Throughout the diaphysis of MMP-13-deficient tibiae, we observed elevated nonenzymatic cross-linking and concentric regions of hypermineralization, collagen disorganization, and canalicular malformation. These defects localize to the same mid-cortical bone regions where osteocyte lacunae and canaliculi exhibit MMP-13 and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression, as well as the osteocyte marker sclerostin. Despite otherwise normal measures of osteoclast and osteoblast function, dynamic histomorphometry revealed that remodeling of osteocyte lacunae is impaired in MMP-13(-/-) bone. Analysis of MMP-13(-/-) mice and their wild-type littermates in normal and lactating conditions showed that MMP-13 is not only required for lactation-induced osteocyte perilacunar remodeling, but also for the maintenance of bone quality. The loss of MMP-13, and the resulting defects in perilacunar remodeling and matrix organization, compromise MMP-13(-/-) bone fracture toughness and postyield behavior. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that osteocyte perilacunar remodeling of mid-cortical bone matrix requires MMP-13 and is essential for the maintenance of bone quality.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the most abundant and longest-living cells in the adult skeleton. For a long time, osteocytes were considered static and inactive cells, but in recent years, it has been suggested that they represent the key responder to various stimuli that regulate bone formation and remodelling as well as one of the key endocrine regulators of bone metabolism. Osteocytes respond to mechanical stimuli by producing and secreting several signalling molecules, such as nitric oxide and prostaglandin E(2) , that initiate local bone remodelling. Moreover, they can control bone formation by modulating the WNT signalling pathway, an essential regulator of cell fate and commitment, as they represent the main source of sclerostin, a negative regulator of bone formation. Osteocytes can also act as an endocrine organ by releasing fibroblast growth factor 23 and several other proteins (DMP-1, MEPE, PHEX) that regulate phosphate metabolism. It has been demonstrated that various bone diseases are associated with osteocyte abnormalities, although it is not clear if these changes are the direct cause of the pathology or if they are secondary to the pathological changes in the bone microenvironment. Thus, a better understanding of these cells could offer exciting opportunities for new advances in the prevention and management of different bone diseases.

Abstract
Introduction The increased bone degradation in osteolytic metastases depends on stimulation of mature osteoclasts and on continuous differentiation of new pre-osteoclasts. Metalloproteinases (MMP)-13 is expressed in a broad range of primary malignant tumours and it is emerging as a novel biomarker. Recent data suggest a direct role of MMP-13 in dissolving bone matrix complementing the activity of MMP-9 and other enzymes. Tumour-microenvironment interactions alter gene expression in malignant breast tumour cells promoting osteolytic bone metastasis. Gene expression profiles revealed that MMP-13 was among the up-regulated genes in tumour-bone interface and its abrogation reduced bone erosion. The precise mechanism remained not fully understood. Our purpose was to further investigate the mechanistic role of MMP-13 in bone osteolytic lesions. Methods MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells that express MMP-13 were used as a model for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Conditioned media from MDA-MB-231 cells were added to peripheral blood mononuclear cultures to monitor pre-osteoclast differentiation and activation. Bone erosion was evaluated after injection of MMP-13-silenced MDA-MB-231 cells into nude mice femurs. Results MMP-13 was co-expressed by human breast tumour bone metastases with its activator MT1-MMP. MMP-13 was up-regulated in breast cancer cells after in vitro stimulation with IL-8 and was responsible for increased bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis, both of which were reduced by MMP inhibitors. We hypothesized that MMP-13 might be directly involved in the loop promoting pre-osteoclast differentiation and activity. We obtained further evidence for a direct role of MMP-13 in bone metastasis by a silencing approach: conditioned media from MDA-MB-231 after MMP-13 abrogation or co-cultivation of silenced cells with pre-osteoclast were unable to increase pre-osteoclast differentiation and resorption activity. MMP-13 activated pre-MMP-9 and promoted the cleavage of galectin-3, a suppressor of osteoclastogenesis, thus contributing to pre-osteoclast differentiation. Accordingly, MMP-13 abrogation in tumour cells injected into the femurs of nude mice reduced the differentiation of TRAP positive cells in bone marrow and within the tumour mass as well as bone erosion. Conclusions These results indicate that within the inflammatory bone microenvironment MMP-13 production was up-regulated in breast tumour cells leading to increased pre-osteoclast differentiation and their subsequent activation.

Abstract
GFP reporter mice previously developed to assess levels of osteoblast differentiation were employed in a tibial long bone fracture model using a histological method that preserves fluorescent signals in non-decalcified sections of bone. Two reporters, based on Col1A1 (Col3.6GFPcyan) and osteocalcin (OcGFPtpz) promoter fragments, were bred into the same mice to reflect an early and late stage of osteoblast differentiation. Three observations were apparent from this examination. First, the osteoprogenitor cells that arise from the flanking periosteum proliferate and progress to fill the fracture zone. These cells differentiate to osteoblasts, chondrocytes, to from the outer cortical shell. Second, the hypertrophic chondrocytes are dispersed and the cartilage matrix mineralized by the advancing Col3.6+ osteoblasts. The endochondral matrix is removed by the following osteoclasts. Third, a new cortical shell develops over the cartilage core and undergoes a remodeling process of bone formation on the inner surface and resorption on the outer surface. The original fractured cortex undergoes resorption as the outer cortical shell remodels inward to become the new diaphyseal bone. The fluorescent microscopy and GFP reporter mice used in this study provide a powerful tool for appreciating the molecular and cellular processes that control these fundamental steps in fracture repair, and may provide a basis for understanding fracture nonunion.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is an aggressively osteolytic primary bone tumor that is characterized by the presence of abundant multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells, hematopoietic monocytes, and a distinct mesenchymal stromal cell component. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is the principal proteinase expressed by the stromal cells of GCT. The release of cytokines, particularly interleukin-1beta, by the giant cells of GCT acts on stromal cells to stimulate a surge in MMP-13 secretion. The purpose of this study was to determine the bone resorption capabilities of the cellular elements of GCT and the significance of the MMP-13 expression involved in GCT bone resorption. We present a 3-dimensional histomorphometric technique developed to analyze resorption pit depth and yield an accurate measurement of bone resorption with a direct physical view of lacunae on bone slices. In this study, we demonstrate that the mesenchymal stromal cells and the multinucleated giant cells of GCT are independently capable of bone resorption. However, coculture of these 2 cell fractions shows a synergistic increase in bone resorption. In addition, inhibition of MMP-13 reduces resorptive activity of the cells indicating that MMP-13 likely plays an important role in this tumor. This cell-cell cooperation involves giant cell-derived cytokine up-regulation of MMP-13 in the stromal cells, which in turn assists the giant cells in bone resorption. Future research will involve elucidation of the role of cell-cell/matrix communication pathways in bone resorption and tumorigenesis in GCT.

Abstract
The PRELP heparin sulfate–binding protein translocates to the nucleus, where it impairs NF-κB transcriptional activity, which in turn regulates bone homeostasis. Proline/arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein (PRELP) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG)- and collagen-binding anchor protein highly expressed in cartilage, basement membranes, and developing bone. We observed that PRELP inhibited in vitro and in vivo mouse osteoclastogenesis through its GAG-binding domain (hbdPRELP), involving (a) cell internalization through a chondroitin sulfate– and annexin II–dependent mechanism, (b) nuclear translocation, (c) interaction with p65 nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and inhibition of its DNA binding, and (d) impairment of NF-κB transcriptional activity and reduction of osteoclast-specific gene expression. hbdPRELP does not disrupt the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling nor does it impair cell survival. hbdPRELP activity is cell type specific, given that it is internalized by the RAW264.7 osteoclast-like cell line but fails to affect calvarial osteoblasts, bone marrow macrophages, and epithelial cell lines. In vivo, hbdPRELP reduces osteoclast number and activity in ovariectomized mice, underlying its physiological and/or pathological importance in skeletal remodeling.

Abstract
During orthodontic tooth movement, there is local production of chemokines and an influx of leukocytes into the periodontium. CCL5 plays an important role in osteoclast recruitment and activation. This study aimed to investigate whether the CCR5-receptor influences these events and, consequently, orthodontic tooth movement. An orthodontic appliance was placed in wild-type mice (WT) and CCR5-deficient mice (CCR5(-/-)). The expression of mediators involved in bone remodeling was evaluated in periodontal tissues by Real-time PCR. The number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts and the expression of cathepsin K, RANKL, and MMP13 were significantly higher in CCR5(-/-). Meanwhile, the expression of two osteoblastic differentiation markers, RUNX2 and osteocalcin, and that of bone resorption regulators, IL-10 and OPG, were lower in CCR5(-/-). Analysis of the data also showed that CCR5(-/-) exhibited a greater amount of tooth movement after 7 days of mechanical loading. The results suggested that CCR5 might be a down-regulator of alveolar bone resorption during orthodontic movement.

Abstract
The metalloproteinase family includes MMP, ADAM and ADAMTS proteases. Mice deficient in individual or pairs of metalloproteinases have been generated, and a number of these genetic models spontaneously develop skeletal abnormalities. Here we review metalloproteinase function in endochondral and intramembranous ossification, as well as in postnatal bone remodeling. We highlight how metalloproteinases enable interactions between distinct bone cell types and how this communication contributes to the skeletal phenotypes observed in knockout mice. In addition to the physiological actions of metalloproteinases in the skeletal system, the experimental manipulation of metalloproteinase-deficient mice has revealed substantial roles for these enzymes in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. MMP, ADAM and ADAMTS proteases thus emerge as key players in the development and homeostasis of the skeletal system.

Abstract
The characteristic bone destruction in giant cell tumour of bone (GCT) is largely attributed to the osteoclast-like giant cells. However, experimental analyses of bone resorption by cells from GCT often fail to exclude the neoplastic spindle-like stromal cells, and several studies have demonstrated that bone resorption by GCT cells is increased in the presence of stromal cells. The spindle-like stromal cells from GCT may therefore actively contribute to the bone resorption observed in the tumour. Type I collagen, a major organic constituent of bone, is effectively degraded by three matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) known as the collagenases: MMP-1, MMP-8 and MMP-13. We established primary cell cultures from nine patients with GCT and the stromal cell populations were isolated in culture. The production of collagenases by primary cultures of GCT stromal cells was determined through real-time PCR, western blot analysis and a multiplex assay system. Results show that the cells produce MMP-1 and MMP-13 but not MMP-8. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of MMP-1 and MMP-13 in paraffin-embedded GCT tissue samples. Medium conditioned by the stromal cell cultures was capable of proteolytic activity as determined by MMP-1 and MMP-13-specific standardized enzyme activity assays. The spindle-like stromal cells from GCT may therefore actively participate in the bone destruction that is characteristic of the tumour.

Abstract
Bone lining cells cover > 80% of endosteal surfaces of human cancellous bone. Current research assigns to them a dual role: (1) as a biological membrane regulating exchange of substrates between the bone fluid compartment and the extracellular fluid of bone marrow and (2) as a signaling link between the osteocytic network as mechanical receptor and the osteoclastic cell pool for local induction of bone resorption. Furthermore, a catabolic role has been considered. We therefore examined the presence of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their physiological tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) as putative proteolytic elements. Firstly, human cancellous bone from 60 patients was examined by immunofluorescence with antibodies against MMPs and TIMPs. Secondly, we applied laser-assisted microdissection (LMD) to isolate bone lining cells from frozen sections of human trabecular bone. mRNA analysis was performed using a single-cell PCR protocol. Three laser microdissection systems were tested: the new generation of Leica LMD and P.A.L.M. laser pressure catapulting (LPC) were compared to P.A.L.M. laser microdissection and micromanipulation (LMM). In a few pooled cell profiles, mRNA of MMP13, MMP14, TIMP1, and CBFA-1 was clearly detected. By immunofluorescence MMP13 and -14 as well as TIMP1 and -2 were strongly present in lining cells, while MMP2, TIMP3, and TIMP4 showed weak or negative signals. Although the functional impact of these enzymatic components remains open, there is additional evidence for a catabolic function of lining cells. The new diode-laser microdissection with LMD and LPC proved to be especially suitable to gain new insights into the properties of bone lining cells.

Abstract
Degradation of Meckel's cartilage in the middle portion is accompanied by hypertrophy and death of chondrocytes, calcification of the cartilaginous matrix, and chondroclastic resorption. We hypothesize that the gelatinolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) largely contributes to the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process. The activity in Meckel's cartilage of mouse mandibular arches at embryonic days 14-16 (E14-E16) was examined by a combination of in situ zymography (ISZ), using quenched fluorescent dye-labeled gelatin as a substrate, with CTT (a selective inhibitor of MMP-2 and -9) or with EDTA (a general MMP inhibitor). On E14 and E15, ISZ showed fluorescence in the perichondrium, in the intercellular septa between chondrocytes, and in the nucleus of chondrocytes. CTT attenuated fluorescence, and EDTA eliminated it. On E16, calcified cartilaginous matrix showed intense fluorescence, and dot-like fluorescence was observed in as-yet uncalcified intercellular septa, even after CTT treatment. EDTA inhibited fluorescence, but unexpectedly intense fluorescence was found in the cytoplasm of hypertrophic chondrocytes facing the resorption front. MMP-2, -9, and -13 immunoreactivity was detected in the perichondrium and chondrocytes of Meckel's cartilage. These findings suggest that MMPs and other proteinases capable of degrading gelatin play an integral role in the development, calcification, and resorption of Meckel's cartilage through ECM reconstitution.

Galanin treatment offsets the inhibition of bone formation and downregulates the increase in mouse calvarial expression of TNFalpha and GalR2 mRNA induced by chronic daily injections of an injurious vehicle. Bone 2007; 40:895-903. [PMID: 17157570 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2006.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2006] [Revised: 10/17/2006] [Accepted: 10/26/2006] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
We have previously shown that after bone fracture, galanin (GAL) and GAL receptor expression is increased in osteoblast-like cells of callus; however, the role of elevated GAL/GAL receptors in this instance of bone injury is not known. We hypothesize that in injury, GAL may facilitate bone formation by suppressing the production of cytokines such as TNFalpha and IL-1alpha, thereby affecting bone collagen formation and collagenolysis by key matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In studies to explore this hypothesis, we used a mouse calvarial injection model to (1) investigate whether mild injury caused by a daily subcutaneous injection of a glycerol-containing vehicle onto calvaria affected osteoblast/bone formation-associated histomorphometric parameters and gene expression (mRNA encoding GAL, GAL receptors, TNFalpha, IL-1beta, collagen type I, MMP-2 and -13) compared to non-injected, control mice and (2) determine the effect of GAL+vehicle treatment on these entities. Five groups of 4-week-old mice were used: a non-injected control group; a vehicle (50/50 solution of 10 mM PBS+0.025% BSA/5.4 M glycerol)-treated group; and 3 GAL-treated groups (0.2, 2 and 20 ng doses). Solutions were injected subcutaneously onto calvaria in a 10 mul volume, every day for 2 weeks. Vehicle injection reduced calvarial periosteal osteoblast cell height (P<0.001), osteoblast number (P<0.001) and osteoid thickness (P<0.01), relative to values in non-injected animals at 2 weeks. Vehicle injection also inhibited BFR in this periosteal bone relative to values in non-injected animals at both 1 and 2 weeks (P<0.05 and P<0.001, respectively). Increasing concentrations of GAL reversed the above-listed inhibitory effects caused by vehicle. This reversal was demonstrated by a dose-dependent effect of GAL on osteoblast cell height (Pearson's r=0.330; P<0.05), osteoblast number (Pearson's r=0.715; P=0.000), osteoid thickness (Pearson's r=0.516; P=0.000) and BFR (Pearson's r=0.525; P<0.05) after 2 weeks of GAL+vehicle treatment; with the 20 ng/day GAL+vehicle injection schedule returning these measured parameters toward non-injected control values. All GAL+vehicle treatments had no effect on calvarial expression of GAL, GALR1, GALR3, collagen type 1 and MMP-2 mRNAs compared to levels in vehicle-injected controls. GAL treatment did, however, produce dose-dependent effects on calvarial expression of GALR2 (Pearson's r=0.763; P=0.000), MMP-13 (Pearson's r=0.806; P=0.000), IL-1beta (Pearson's r=0.807; P=0.000) and TNFalpha (Pearson's r=0.542; P=0.000) mRNAs with 20 ng/day of GAL+vehicle producing the strongest reversal of vehicle-associated changes. Thus, the 20 ng/day GAL+vehicle regimen offset the inhibition of osteoblastic activity, and therefore bone formation caused by daily glycerol-containing vehicle injection. This effect on bone formation may be due in part to the peptide suppressing the formation and associated activity of TNFalpha, IL-1beta and MMP-13, as TNFalpha and IL-1beta are known inhibitors of bone formation and MMP-13 is involved in collagenolysis. Furthermore, these effects may be due to the action of GAL via GALR2, as it was the only GAL receptor affected by this GAL treatment regimen. These results indicate that GAL can facilitate bone formation associated with injury and reveal potential efficacy for GAL in treating osseous conditions where bone formation may be inhibited due to excess TNFalpha and IL-1beta production.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that play a central role in periodontal ligament (PDL) space remodelling during orthodontic tooth movement. It has previously been shown that messenger RNA levels of MMP-13 increase significantly following the application of orthodontic forces. The aim of the present study was to examine immunolocalisation of MMP-13 and to evaluate if this collagenase is time-dependently and differentially detected within the PDL following the application of orthodontic forces to create areas of compression and tension. This was achieved by placing elastic bands between the maxillary first and second molars of 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats (each weighing 120-200g) for 12 and 24h. The molar-bearing segments were dissected and processed for histological and immunohistochemical examination. Binding of a monoclonal antibody was used to evaluate MMP-13 localization using an indirect streptavidin/biotin immunperoxidase technique. MMP-13 was found to be inducible at the protein level by the application of forces. The PDL and osteoblast-lineage cells showed a time-dependent increase in immunolabelling of MMP-13. Immunolabelling of MMP-13 was detected initially on the compression side, and then on both the compression and the tension sides. Since this increase in MMP-13 immunolabelling occurred very early following the application of an orthodontic force in both PDL and alveolar bone, this would indicate that MMP-13 might play an important role during tooth movement.

Abstract
1alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)) is known to inhibit prostate cancer cells in vitro. Its effects on proliferation in the presence of living bone have not been reported, but are especially relevant since much of the morbidity and mortality associated with prostate cancer is due to metastatic bone disease. We investigated the effect of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) on MatLyLu-beta(2) cells (MatLyLu cells), a rat prostate cancer line, co-cultured in transwells with living rat calvaria. Cultures of MatLyLu cells with living calvaria treated with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) exhibited a statistically significant increase in proliferation (range 1.4 to 1.7-fold; p<0.05). Cultures of MatLylu cells alone, with spleen cells, muscle tissue, or with living or inactivated calvarial bone showed no differences in proliferation. To investigate the mechanism for enhanced proliferation, Galardin, a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, or pamidronate, an antiresorptive agent, was added. Enhanced proliferation was prevented by either agent, but not to an equal extent. The presence of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) may lead to proteolytic release or activation of growth factors from bone. These results may explain the variability in reports on the in vivo effects of Vitamin D and suggest a potential concern in using Vitamin D or its analogs alone in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Abstract
This review focuses specifically on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their role in physiological and pathological extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and degradation processes in the oral environment. A group of enzymes capable of degrading almost all ECM proteins, MMPs contribute to both normal and pathological tissue remodeling. The expression of different MMPs may be upregulated in pathological conditions such as inflammation and tumor invasion. The balance between activated MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) controls the extent of ECM remodeling. Prior to mineralization, MMPs may participate in the organization of enamel and dentin organic matrix, or they may regulate mineralization by controlling the proteoglycan turnover. There is evidence indicating that MMPs could be involved in the etiology of enamel fluorosis and amelogenesis imperfecta. They seem to play a part in dentinal caries progression, since they have a crucial role in dentin collagen breakdown in caries lesions. MMPs have been identified in pulpal and periapical inflammation and are strongly correlated with periodontal diseases, since they are the major players in collagen breakdown during periodontal tissue destruction. The use of MMP inhibitors could help the prevention and treatment of many MMP-related oral diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participate in extracellular matrix degradation in physiological and pathological conditions. The available evidence suggests that MMP-13 plays a significant role in both the initiation and progress of bone resorption. The aim of our study was to identify the presence of MMP-13 in adult patients with untreated chronic periodontitis. We also determined the activity of MMP-13 present in lesions undergoing episodic attachment loss in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples. METHODS After monitoring at 2 and 4 months, 21 patients showed destructive periodontitis (periodontally affected sites presenting at least two sites with > or =2 mm clinical attachment loss), and GCF samples were collected both from active and inactive sites (21 GCF samples, each). GCF was collected during a 30-second interval using a paper strip, and an immunofluorescence assay was performed to determine the basal activity of MMP-13 and the relationship between 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA)-activated total MMP-13 and basal MMP-13 activity. Gingival tissues from five patients were fixed in formalin and MMP-13 expression was demonstrated using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. MMP-13 molecular forms were examined by Western immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS MMP-13 was found in 100% of GCF samples from patients with chronic periodontitis. Active sites, associated with tissue destruction, had significantly higher proportions of active MMP-13 and MMP-13 activity levels than their inactive counterparts (1.49 versus 1.17 ng fluorescent product, respectively; P <0.05). Western blot, immunohistochemical staining, and in situ hybridization confirmed the presence of MMP-13 in periodontal disease, with observable differences between periodontitis and healthy subjects. MMP-13 immunoreactivities were seen mainly as 55 and 48 kDa, corresponding to partially and fully activated forms, respectively, and a smaller proportion of 60-kDa proenzyme form. CONCLUSION MMP-13 activity in GCF samples was significantly increased in active sites from progressive periodontal disease, supporting its role in the alveolar bone loss developed in this disease.

Abstract
Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressant with antitumoral properties widely used in the field of renal transplantation. To test the hypothesis that the antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activity of rapamycin interferes with the normal structure and function of growth plate and impairs longitudinal growth, 4-week-old male rats (n = 10/group) receiving 2 mg/kg per day of intraperitoneal rapamycin (RAPA) or vehicle (C) for 14 days were compared. Rapamycin markedly decreased bone longitudinal growth rate (94 +/- 3 vs. 182 +/- 3 microm/day), body weight gain (60.2 +/- 1.4 vs. 113.6 +/- 1.9 g), food intake (227.8 +/- 2.6 vs. 287.5 +/- 3.4 g), and food efficiency (0.26 +/- 0.00 vs. 0.40 +/- 0.01 g/g). Signs of altered cartilage formation such as reduced chondrocyte proliferation (bromodeoxiuridine-labeled cells 32.9 +/- 1.4 vs. 45.2 +/- 1.1%), disturbed maturation and hypertrophy (height of terminal chondrocytes 26 +/- 0 vs. 29 +/- 0 microm), and decreased cartilage resorption (18.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 31.0 +/- 0.8 tartrate-resistant phosphatase alkaline reactive cells per 100 terminal chondrocytes), together with morphological evidence of altered vascular invasion, were seen in the growth plate of RAPA animals. This study indicates that rapamycin can severely impair body growth in fast-growing rats and distort growth-plate structure and dynamics. These undesirable effects must be kept in mind when rapamycin is administered to children.
