[PMID: 35949513 PMCID: PMC9353456 DOI: 10.1096/fba.2021-00092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The Matrix Metalloproteinases are important regulators of bone metabolism and can influence bone mass and bone remodeling. We investigate the role of Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) on bone in mice, by using Mmp3 knockout (Mmp3 KO) in the context of estrogen deficiency, and in human, by analyzing the association of promoter polymorphism with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and with MMP3 expression. We presented evidence in this paper that Mmp3 KO significantly increases trabecular bone mass and trabecular number and does not affect cortical bone thickness. We also found that Mmp3 KO protects from the deleterious effects of ovariectomy on bone mineral density in mice by preventing deterioration of bone microarchitecture. The effect of Mmp3 KO does not involve bone formation parameters but instead acts by inhibition of bone resorption, leading to a reduced bone loss associated to ovariectomy. By studying a human cohort, we found that a polymorphism located in the promoter of the human MMP3 gene is associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and found that MMP3 rs632478 promoter variants are associated with change in promoter activity in transfection experiments. In conclusion MMP3, although weakly expressed in bone cells, could be one of the important regulators of sex hormone action in bone and whose activity could be targeted for therapeutic applications such as in Osteoporosis.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced by the parathyroid glands in response to low serum calcium concentrations where it targets bones, kidneys, and indirectly, intestines. The N-terminus of PTH has been investigated for decades for its ability to stimulate bone formation when administered intermittently (iPTH) and is used clinically as an effective anabolic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis. Despite great interest in iPTH and its clinical use, the mechanisms of PTH action remain complicated and not fully defined. More than 70 gene targets in more than 90 murine models have been utilized to better understand PTH anabolic actions. Because murine studies utilized wild-type mice as positive controls, a variety of variables were analyzed to better understand the optimal conditions under which iPTH functions. The greatest responses to iPTH were in male mice, with treatment starting later than 12 weeks of age, a treatment duration lasting 5-6 weeks, and a PTH dose of 30-60 μg/kg/day. This comprehensive study also evaluated these genetic models relative to the bone formative actions with a primary focus on the trabecular compartment revealing trends in critical genes and gene families relevant for PTH anabolic actions. The summation of these data revealed the gene deletions with the greatest increase in trabecular bone volume in response to iPTH. These included PTH and 1-α-hydroxylase (Pth;1α(OH)ase, 62-fold), amphiregulin (Areg, 15.8-fold), and PTH related protein (Pthrp, 10.2-fold). The deletions with the greatest inhibition of the anabolic response include deletions of: proteoglycan 4 (Prg4, -9.7-fold), low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (Lrp6, 1.3-fold), and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (Lrp5, -1.0-fold). Anabolic actions of iPTH were broadly affected via multiple and diverse genes. This data provides critical insight for future research and development, as well as application to human therapeutics. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the primary mechanosensitive cells in bone. However, their location in mineralized matrix has limited the in vivo study of osteocytic genes induced by mechanical loading. Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) allows isolation of intracortical bone (Intra-CB), enriched for osteocytes, from bone tissue for gene expression analysis. We used microarray to analyze gene expression from mouse tibial Intra-CB dissected using LCM 4 h after a single loading bout or after 5 days of loading. Osteocyte enrichment was supported by greater expression of Sost, Dmp1, Dkk1, and Mepe in Intra-CB regions vs. Mixed regions containing periosteum and muscle (fold-change (FC) = 3.4, 2.2, 5.1, 3.0, respectively). Over 150 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) due to loading (loaded vs. contralateral control) in Intra-CB were found on Day 1 and Day 5, but only 10 genes were differentially expressed on both days, including Ngf (Day 1 FC = 13.5, Day 5 FC = 11.1) and Wnt1 (Day 1 FC = 1.5, Day 5 FC = 5.1). The expression of Ngf and Wnt1 within Intra-CB was confirmed by in situ hybridization, and a significant increase in number of Wnt1 mRNA molecules occurred on day 1. We also found changes in extracellular matrix remodeling with Timp1 (FC = 3.1) increased on day 1 and MMP13 (FC = 0.3) decreased on day 5. Supporting this result, IHC for osteocytic MMP13 demonstrated a marginal decrease due to loading on day 5. Gene Ontology (GO) biological processes for loading DEGs indicated regulation of vasculature, neuronal and immune processes while cell-type specific gene lists suggested regulation of osteoclast, osteoblast, and endothelial related genes. In summary, microarray analysis of microdissected Intra-CB revealed differential regulation of Ngf, Wnt1, and MMP13 due to loading in osteocytes.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of osteoporosis in post‐menopausal females. Real‐time PCR was conducted to measure the expression of potential lncRNAs involved in the osteoporosis of post‐menopausal females. In addition, Western blot and IHC assays were used to study the possible correlation among HOTAIR, miR‐138 and TIMP1, while a computational analysis was carried out to predict the ‘seed sequence’ responsible for the binding between miR‐138 and HOTAIR/TIMP1. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays were conducted to validate the negative regulatory relationship between miR‐138 and TIMP1/HOTAIR. To evaluate the effect of oestrogen on the function of HOATIR and its downstream effectors, luciferase activity was measured in cells cotransfected with different vectors or treated with different doses of oestrogen. The results of the luciferase assay were further validated by real‐time PCR, Western blot, MTT assay and flow cytometry. Among the candidate lncRNAs, HOTAIR was the only lncRNA down‐regulated in post‐menopausal females. HOTAIR bound to miR‐138 and negatively regulated its expression. Meanwhile, miR‐138 could also bind to TIMP1 mRNA and reduce its expression. Furthermore, a dose‐dependent up‐regulation of HOTAIR was observed in cells treated with oestrogen, and the elevated HOTAIR increased the level of TIMP1 by targeting miR‐138. In addition, oestrogen promoted cell viability and suppressed cell apoptosis, and effects of oestrogen were blocked by the silencing of HOTAIR. Therefore, it can be concluded that oestrogen deficiency could induce the apoptosis of osteoblasts and lead to osteoporosis in post‐menopausal females via modulation of the HOTAIR/miR‐138/TIMP1 signalling axis.

The enzymatic hydrolysates from deer sinew promote MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis by regulating multiple functional genes. BMC Complement Med Ther 2021; 21:59. [PMID: 33568122 PMCID: PMC7877118 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-021-03240-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Deer Sinew serves as a medicinal food, and has been used for treating skeletal diseases, especially bone diseases in a long history. Thus, it could become an alternative option for the prevention and therapeutic remedy of bone-related diseases. In our previous study, we established an optimal extraction process of the enzymatic hydrolysates from Chinese Sika deer sinews (DSEH), and we demonstrated that DSEH significantly promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells (an osteoblast-like cell line) with a certain dose-effect relationship. However, the precise molecular mechanism of deer sinew in regulating bone strength is still largely unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the underlying molecular mechanism of DSEH on MC3T3-E1 cells proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis. Methods Preparation and quality control were performed as previously described. The effect of DSEH at different administrated concentrations on cell proliferation was measured using both CCK-8 and MTT assays, and the capacity of DSEH on extracellular matrix synthesis was detected by Alizarin red staining and quantification. The gene expression pattern change of MC3T3-E1 cells under the treatment of DSEH was investigated by RNA-seq analysis accompanied with validation methods. Results We demonstrated that DSEH promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis by regulating multiple functional genes. DSEH significantly increased the expression levels of genes that promoted cell proliferation such as Gstp1, Timp1, Serpine1, Cyr61, Crlf1, Thbs1, Ctgf, P4ha2, Sod3 and Nqo1. However, DSEH significantly decreased the expression levels of genes that inhibited cell proliferation such as Mt1, Cdc20, Gas1, Nrp2, Cmtm3, Dlk2, Sema3a, Rbm25 and Hspb6. Furthermore, DSEH mildly increased the expression levels of osteoblast gene markers. Conclusions Our findings suggest that DSEH facilitate MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis to consolidate bone formation and stability, but prevent MC3T3-E1 cells from oxidative stress-induced damage, apoptosis and further differentiation. These findings deepened the current understanding of DSEH on regulating bone development, and provided theoretical support for the discovery of optional prevention and treatment for bone-related diseases.

Extracellular vesicles from human urine-derived stem cells inhibit glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by transporting and releasing pro-angiogenic DMBT1 and anti-apoptotic TIMP1. Acta Biomater 2020; 111:208-220. [PMID: 32447063 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.05.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Revised: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) frequently occurs after glucocorticoid (GC) treatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important nano-sized paracrine mediators of intercellular crosstalk. This study aimed to determine whether EVs from human urine-derived stem cells (USC-EVs) could protect against GC-induced ONFH and focused on the impacts of USC-EVs on angiogenesis and apoptosis to explore the mechanism by which USC-EVs attenuated GC-induced ONFH. The results in vivo showed that the intravenous administration of USC-EVs at the early stage of GC exposure could rescue angiogenesis impairment, reduce apoptosis of trabecular bone and marrow cells, prevent trabecular bone destruction and improve bone microarchitecture in the femoral heads of rats. In vitro, USC-EVs reversed the GC-induced suppression of endothelial angiogenesis and activation of apoptosis. Deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (DMBT1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) proteins were enriched in USC-EVs and essential for the USC-EVs-induced pro-angiogenic and anti-apoptotic effects in GC-treated cells, respectively. Knockdown of TIMP1 attenuated the protective effects of USC-EVs against GC-induced ONFH. Our study suggests that USC-EVs are a promising nano-sized agent for the prevention of GC-induced ONFH by delivering pro-angiogenic DMBT1 and anti-apoptotic TIMP1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that the intravenous injection of extracellular vesicles from human urine-derived stem cells (USC-EVs) at the early stage of glucocorticoid (GC) exposure efficiently protects the rats from the GC-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Moreover, this study identifies that the promotion of angiogenesis and inhibition of apoptosis by transferring pro-angiogenic DMBT1 and anti-apoptotic TIMP1 proteins contribute importantly to the USC-EVs-induced protective effects against GC-induced ONFH. This study suggests the promising prospect of USC-EVs as a new nano-sized agent for protecting against GC-induced ONFH, and the potential of DMBT1 and TIMP1 as the molecular targets for further augmenting the protective function of USC-EVs.

Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) has various biological activities including the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. However, its role in bone homeostasis and remodeling remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the effects of TIMP1 on osteoblast and osteoclast activity at both cellular and molecular level using siRNA-mediated knockdown technique. Our results show that knockdown of TIMP1 stimulates proliferation and survival, but decreases apoptosis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting that TIMP1 inhibits cell growth. TIMP1 also dampens differentiation of committed osteoblasts, as well as osteoblastogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We further show that the modulation of TIMP1 on osteoblast activity is independent of its MMP inhibition. Importantly, we uncover that TIMP1 suppresses osteoblast growth and differentiation by targeting the AKT pathway, and this is associated with TIMP1-mediated induction of PTEN via its binding to the cell surface receptor CD44. Therefore, our results highlight a novel TIMP1/CD44/PTEN/AKT signaling nexus that functions as a suppressor of osteoblast activity. Moreover, we show that TIMP1 also inhibits osteoclast differentiation in osteoclast precursor RAW 264.7 cells by targeting the AKT. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that TIMP1 can act as a suppressor of growth and differentiation of osteoblasts and differentiation of osteoclasts through the negative regulation of the AKT pathway. We propose that TIMP1 may serve as a potential target for low bone mass-related skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-138 in osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to induce osteoporotic injury of osteoblasts. The cell viability and apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells was assessed using MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The cell transfection was carried out to modulate the expression levels of miR-138 and TIMP-1 in MC3T3-E1 cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to determine the interaction between miR-138 and TIMP-1 3'UTR. In the present study, H2O2 inhibited osteoblasts growth and induced intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress accompanied by high expression of miR-138. We also confirmed that miR-138 promoted osteoblasts apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. MiR-138 was further indicated to inhibit osteoblast survival via negative regulating TIMP-1 expression. Moreover, the downregulated TIMP-1 also mediated the ER stress-induced apoptosis of osteoblasts. We confirmed that miR-138 and ER stress were induced in osteoporosis and then promoted the apoptosis of osteoblasts, at least in part, through TIMP-1.

Sc65 is a novel endoplasmic reticulum protein that regulates bone mass homeostasis. J Bone Miner Res 2014; 29:666-75.

Abstract
Members of the Leprecan family of proteins include enzymes, prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 (P3h1), P3h2, and P3h3, and nonenzymatic proteins, Crtap and Sc65. Mutations in CRTAP and LEPRE1 (encoding P3H1) have been associated with human disease such as recessive osteogenesis imperfecta; however, the function of Sc65, which is closely related and highly homologous to Crtap, is unknown. Sc65 has been described as a synaptonemal complex protein, a nucleolar protein, and a cytoplasmic adapter protein. In light of its high sequence similarity with Crtap, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein, and the importance of post-translational modifications such as collagen prolyl 3-hydroxylation in bone metabolism, we hypothesized that Sc65 was an ER-resident protein that would have an important role in bone homeostasis. In this study, we demonstrate that Sc65 is a previously unrecognized ER protein and that it does not localize in the nucleus of somatic cells. Moreover, Sc65 is expressed and functional during skeletal development because loss of Sc65 results in a progressive osteopenia that affects both trabecular and cortical bone. Bone loss is the result of increased bone resorption mediated by a non-cell-autonomous effect on osteoclasts. Therefore, Sc65, like its related family member Crtap, is an important modulator of bone homeostasis, acting as a negative regulator of osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate the expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in irradiated mandibles during distraction osteogenesis. STUDY DESIGN Rabbits in the experimental group received preoperative radiation of 9 Gy for 5 fractions. After 1 month, all rabbits underwent osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis with 7 days of latency. Three rabbits in the control and experimental groups were killed at days 7, 12, 18, and 25. Specimens were subjected to immunohistochemical examination and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. RESULTS At day 7, expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 was significantly suppressed in the radiotherapy group in contrast to the control group. At day 12, expression of MMP-1 was significantly higher in the control group. At day 18, expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 was significantly higher in the control than in the radiotherapy group. CONCLUSIONS Radiotherapy changes the expression pattern of MMP-1 and TIMP-1.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. We previously demonstrated that Col1a1-SOX9 transgenic (TG) mice, in which SOX9 specifically expresses in osteoblasts driven by a 2.3-kb Col1a1 promoter, display osteopenia during the early postnatal stage. In this study, to further analyze the osteopenia phenotype and especially the effect of the osteoblast-specific expression of SOX9 on bone mechanical properties, we performed bone geometry and mechanical property analysis of long bones from Col1a1-SOX9 TG mice and wild-type littermates (WT) at different time points. Interestingly, after body weight adjustment, TG mice had similar whole-bone strength as WT mice but significantly thinner cortical bone, lower elastic modulus, and higher moment of inertia. Thus, osteoblast-specific SOX9 expression results in altered bone structure and material properties. Furthermore, the expression levels of Pcna, Col1a1, osteocalcin, and the Opg/Rankl ratio in TG mice were significantly lower until 4 months of age compared with WT mice, suggesting that TG mice have dysregulated bone homeostasis. Finally, bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from TG mice display enhanced adipocyte differentiation and decreased osteoblast differentiation in vitro, suggesting that osteoblast-specific expression of SOX9 can lead to altered mesenchymal stem cell differentiation potentials. In conclusion, our study implies that SOX9 activity has to be tightly regulated in the adult skeleton to ensure optimal bone quality.

Abstract
The receptor for parathyroid hormone (PTHR) is a main regulator of calcium homeostasis and bone maintenance. As a member of class B of G protein-coupled receptors, it harbors a large extracellular domain, which is required for ligand binding. Here, we demonstrate that the PTHR extracellular domain is cleaved by a protease belonging to the family of extracellular metalloproteinases. We show that the cleavage takes place in a region of the extracellular domain that belongs to an unstructured loop connecting the ligand-binding parts and that the N-terminal 10-kDa fragment is connected to the receptor core by a disulfide bond. Cleaved receptor revealed reduced protein stability compared with noncleaved receptor, suggesting degradation of the whole receptor. In the presence of the agonistic peptides PTH(1-34), PTH(1-14), or PTH(1-31), the processing of the PTHR extracellular domain was inhibited, and receptor protein levels were stabilized. A processed form of the PTHR was also detected in human kidney. These findings suggest a new model of PTHR processing and regulation of its stability.

Abstract
The Runx2 gene is essential for osteoblast differentiation and function. In vivo over-expression of Runx2 in osteoblasts increases bone resorption, and blocks terminal osteoblast differentiation. Several lines of evidence suggest that osteoblastic matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) could contribute to the increased bone resorption observed in mice over-expressing Runx2 (Runx2 mice). The goal of our study was to use a transgenic approach to find out whether the inhibition of osteoblastic MMPs can reduce the bone loss induced by the over-expression of Runx2. We analyzed the effect of the in vivo over-expression of the TIMP-1 in osteoblasts on the severe osteopenic phenotype in Runx2 mice. Females with the different genotypes (WT, Runx2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/Runx2) were analyzed for bone density, architecture, osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity and gene expression using qPCR. TIMP-1 over-expression reduces the bone loss in adult Runx2 mice. The prevention of the bone loss in TIMP-1/Runx2 mice was due to a combination of reduced bone resorption and sustained bone formation. We present evidence that the ability of osteoblastic cells to induce osteoclastic differentiation is lower in TIMP-1/Runx2 mice than in Runx2 mice, probably due to a reduction in the expression of RANK-L and of the Runx2 transgene. Osteoblast primary cells from TIMP-1/Runx2 mice, but not from Runx2 mice, were able to differentiate into fully mature osteoblasts producing high osteocalcin levels. In conclusion, our findings suggest that osteoblastic MMPs can affect osteoblast differentiation. Our work also indicates that osteoblastic MMPs are partly responsible for the bone loss observed in Runx2 transgenic mice.

Abstract
Certain matrix metalloproteinases and their regulators, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), are involved in development and remodeling of adipose tissue. In studying Timp1(<tm1Pds>) mice, which have a null mutation in Timp1 (Timp1(-/-)), we observed that females exhibit increased body weight by 3 months of age due to increased total body lipid and adipose tissue. Whereas Timp1(-/-) mice have increased size and number of adipocytes, they also display increased food intake despite hyperleptinemia, suggesting that alterations in hypothalamic leptin action or responsiveness may underlie their weight gain. Indeed, leptin promotes the expression of Timp1 mRNA in the hypothalamus, and leptin signaling via signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 mediates the expression of hypothalamic Timp1. Furthermore, Timp1(-/-) mice demonstrate increased food intake and altered expression of certain hypothalamic neuropeptide genes prior to elevated weight gain. Thus, whereas previous data suggested roles for matrix metalloproteinases and TIMPs in the regulation of adipose tissue, these data reveal that Timp1 mRNA is induced by leptin in the hypothalamus and that expression and action of Timp1 contributes to the regulation of feeding and energy balance.

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
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key mediators in extra-cellular matrix remodelling and implicated primarily in bone growth, and particularly in osteoclastic bone resorption. We hypothesise that MMPs have a role in the increased bone remodelling resulting from oestrogen deficiency. Transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing TIMP-1 in their osteoblastic cells and their wild-type (WT) littermates were ovariectomised. One month after surgery, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture were assessed. Primary cells from WT and TG mice were used to determine how TIMP-1 affects osteoclast and osteoblastic cells. The reduction of BMD induced by ovariectomy in WT mice was not observed in the transgenic mice. The transgene overexpression also dampened the post-ovariectomy increase in bone resorption in contrast to the WT mice. In vivo, osteoclastic surfaces and D-pyridinoline were not increased in TG mice, and ex vivo, the differentiation of osteoclasts from TG bone marrow precursor cells were unaffected by in vivo oestrogen deficiency or treatment. We showed also that TIMP-1 overexpression reduces and delays the osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation respectively, and reduced the generation of the active form of TGFbeta1 in the supernatant of TG osteoblasts. Our findings support the hypothesis that in vivo inhibition of osteoblastic MMPs prevented the bone loss induced by oestrogen deficiency, with a significant decrease in bone resorption. This effect was presumably resulting from (1) a direct inhibition of osteoclastic resorption activity by the TIMP-1 and (2) the modification in the local activation of extra-cellular signalling factors such as TGFbeta1 and the OPG/RANKL ratio.

Abstract
This review comprehensively summarizes the most important and representative molecular genetics studies of gene identification for osteoporosis published up to the end of September 2007. It is intended to constitute a sequential update of our previously published reviews covering the available data up to the end of 2004. Evidence from candidate gene-association studies, genome-wide linkage and association studies, as well as functional genomic studies (including gene-expression microarray and proteomics) on osteogenesis and osteoporosis, are reviewed separately. Studies of transgenic and knockout mice models relevant to osteoporosis are summarized. The major results of all studies are tabulated for comparison and ease of reference. Comments are made on the most notable findings and representative studies for their potential influence and implications on our present understanding of genetics of osteoporosis. The format adopted by this review should be ideal for accommodating future new advances and studies.
