Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral and bone disorder (MBD) comprises a triad of biochemical abnormalities (of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D), bone abnormalities (turnover, mineralization and growth) and extra-skeletal calcification. Mineral dysregulation leads to bone demineralization causing bone pain and an increased fracture risk compared to healthy peers. Vascular calcification, with hydroxyapatite deposition in the vessel wall, is a part of the CKD-MBD spectrum and, in turn, leads to vascular stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy and a very high cardiovascular mortality risk. While the growing bone requires calcium, excess calcium can deposit in the vessels, such that the intake of calcium, calcium- containing medications and high calcium dialysate need to be carefully regulated. Normal physiological bone mineralization continues into the third decade of life, many years beyond the rapid growth in childhood and adolescence, implying that skeletal calcium requirements are much higher in younger people compared to the elderly. Much of the research into the link between bone (de)mineralization and vascular calcification in CKD has been performed in older adults and these data must not be extrapolated to children or younger adults. In this article, we explore the physiological changes in bone turnover and mineralization in children and young adults, the pathophysiology of mineral bone disease in CKD and a potential link between bone demineralization and vascular calcification.

Comprehensive Analysis of 1-Year-Old Female Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice Reveals Advanced Atherosclerosis with Vulnerable Plaque Characteristics. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1355. [PMID: 38279355 PMCID: PMC10816800 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25021355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Apolipoprotein E-knockout (Apoe-/-) mice constitute the most widely employed animal model of atherosclerosis. Deletion of Apoe induces profound hypercholesterolemia and promotes the development of atherosclerosis. However, despite its widespread use, the Apoe-/- mouse model remains incompletely characterized, especially at late time points and advanced disease stages. Thus, it is unclear how late atherosclerotic plaques compare to earlier ones in terms of lipid deposition, calcification, macrophage accumulation, smooth muscle cell presence, or plaque necrosis. Additionally, it is unknown how cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters are affected at late disease stages. Here, we used a comprehensive analysis based on histology, fluorescence microscopy, and Doppler ultrasonography to show that in normal chow diet-fed Apoe-/- mice, atherosclerotic lesions at the level of the aortic valve evolve from a more cellular macrophage-rich phenotype at 26 weeks to an acellular, lipid-rich, and more necrotic phenotype at 52 weeks of age, also marked by enhanced lipid deposition and calcification. Coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions are sparse at 26 weeks but ubiquitous and extensive at 52 weeks; yet, left ventricular function was not significantly affected. These findings demonstrate that atherosclerosis in Apoe-/- mice is a highly dynamic process, with atherosclerotic plaques evolving over time. At late disease stages, histopathological characteristics of increased plaque vulnerability predominate in combination with frequent and extensive coronary artery lesions, which nevertheless may not necessarily result in impaired cardiac function.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by kidney damage and loss of renal function. CKD mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) describes the dysregulation of mineral homeostasis, including hyperphosphatemia and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, skeletal abnormalities, and vascular calcification. CKD-MBD impacts the oral cavity, with effects including salivary gland dysfunction, enamel hypoplasia and damage, increased dentin formation, decreased pulp volume, pulp calcifications, and altered jaw bones, contributing to clinical manifestations of periodontal disease and tooth loss. Underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and CKD mouse models commonly require invasive procedures with high rates of infection and mortality. We aimed to characterize the dentoalveolar effects of an adenine diet (AD)-induced CKD (AD-CKD) mouse model. Eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice were provided either a normal phosphorus diet control (CTR) or adenine and high-phosphorus diet CKD to induce kidney failure. Mice were euthanized at 15 weeks old, and mandibles were collected for micro-computed tomography and histology. CKD mice exhibited kidney failure, hyperphosphatemia, and hyperparathyroidism in association with porous cortical bone in femurs. CKD mice showed a 30% decrease in molar enamel volume compared to CTR mice. Enamel wear was associated with reduced ductal components, ectopic calcifications, and altered osteopontin (OPN) deposition in submandibular salivary glands of CKD mice. Molar cusps in CKD mice were flattened, exposing dentin. Molar dentin/cementum volume increased 7% in CKD mice and pulp volume decreased. Histology revealed excessive reactionary dentin and altered pulp-dentin extracellular matrix proteins, including increased OPN. Mandibular bone volume fraction decreased 12% and bone mineral density decreased 9% in CKD versus CTR mice. Alveolar bone in CKD mice exhibited increased tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase localization, OPN deposition, and greater osteoclast numbers. AD-CKD recapitulated key aspects reported in CKD patients and revealed new insights into CKD-associated oral defects. This model has potential for studying mechanisms of dentoalveolar defects or therapeutic interventions. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) inevitably develop mineral and bone disorders (CKD–MBD), which negatively impact their survival and quality of life. For a better understanding of underlying pathophysiology and identification of novel therapeutic approaches, mouse models are essential. CKD can be induced by surgical reduction of a functional kidney mass, by nephrotoxic compounds and by genetic engineering specifically interfering with kidney development. These models develop a large range of bone diseases, recapitulating different types of human CKD–MBD and associated sequelae, including vascular calcifications. Bones are usually studied by quantitative histomorphometry, immunohistochemistry and micro-CT, but alternative strategies have emerged, such as longitudinal in vivo osteoblast activity quantification by tracer scintigraphy. The results gained from the CKD–MBD mouse models are consistent with clinical observations and have provided significant knowledge on specific pathomechanisms, bone properties and potential novel therapeutic strategies. This review discusses available mouse models to study bone disease in CKD.

Inactivation of Osteoblast PKC Signaling Reduces Cortical Bone Mass and Density and Aggravates Renal Osteodystrophy in Mice with Chronic Kidney Disease on High Phosphate Diet. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126404.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently leads to hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism, mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), ectopic calcifications and cardiovascular mortality. PTH activates the osteoanabolic Gαs/PKA and the Gαq/11/PKC pathways in osteoblasts, the specific impact of the latter in CKD-MBD is unknown. We generated osteoblast specific Gαq/11 knockout (KO) mice and established CKD-MBD by subtotal nephrectomy and dietary phosphate load. Bone morphology was assessed by micro-CT, osteoblast function by bone planar scintigraphy at week 10 and 22 and by histomorphometry. Osteoblasts isolated from Gαq/11 KO mice increased cAMP but not IP3 in response to PTH 1-34, demonstrating the specific KO of the PKC signaling pathway. Osteoblast specific Gαq/11 KO mice exhibited increased serum calcium and reduced bone cortical thickness and mineral density at 24 weeks. CKD Gαq/11 KO mice had similar bone morphology compared to WT, while CKD Gαq/11-KO on high phosphate diet developed decreased metaphyseal and diaphyseal cortical thickness and area, as well as a reduction in trabecular number. Gαq/11-KO increased bone scintigraphic tracer uptake at week 10 and mitigated tracer uptake in CKD mice at week 22. Histological bone parameters indicated similar trends. Gαq/11-KO in osteoblast modulates calcium homeostasis, bone formation rate, bone morphometry, and bone mineral density. In CKD and high dietary phosphate intake, osteoblast Gαq/11/PKC KO further aggravates mineral bone disease.

Abstract
Severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) represents a high turnover bone disease, osteitis fibrosa, but the pathogenesis of osteitis fibrosa remains to be fully elucidated. We examined the characteristics of the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into osteoblasts in uremic rats. We bred 5/6 nephrectomized (Nx) rats with a high phosphorus (P) diet to induce SHPT (Nx + HP), or Nx (Nx + ND) and normal rats (Nc + ND) fed a standard diet (ND). After 8 weeks, BMSCs were isolated from the femur and serum were analyzed. BMSCs underwent flow cytometric examination for the expression patterns of cell surface markers (CD90+, CD29+, CD45-, and CD31-). Serum creatinine (Cre) levels were significantly elevated in the Nx + NP rats compared with the Nc + NP rats. Cre levels in the Nx + HP rats were levels to those in the Nx + ND rats. Serum P and PTH levels were significantly elevated in the Nx + HP rats compared with the Nx + ND rats. Bone morphometrical analysis showed increases in both osteoid volume and eroded surfaces in the Nx + HP but not in the Nx + ND rats. The populations of harvested BMSCs were similar between all three groups. Alp, Runx2, Pth1r and Cyclin D1 mRNA expression in the BMSCs from the Nx + ND rats were significantly suppressed compared with those isolated from the Nc + ND groups. Alizarin red staining tended to be similar to the expression of these mRNA. These results suggest that the BMSCs differentiation into osteoblasts was disturbed in the uremic rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-turnover bone disease is a major consequence of SHPT and may explain the high risk for fracture in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Bisphosphonates suppress bone turnover and improve bone strength, but their effects have not been fully characterized in advanced CKD with severe SHPT. Bisphosphonates also increase 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels in normal and uremic rats, but the underlying mechanism remains to be determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the skeletal and mineral metabolic effects of RIS, a pyridinyl bisphosphonate, in rats with severe SHPT induced by 5/6 nephrectomy plus a high phosphate diet. RESULTS Nephrectomized rats developed severe SHPT, along with hyperphosphatemia, low 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and markedly increased FGF23. Moreover, these rats exhibited characteristic features of high-turnover renal osteodystrophy, including increased indices of trabecular bone turnover, decreased cortical bone thickness, inferior cortical biomechanical properties, and a prominent increase in peritrabecular fibrosis. RIS treatment increased bone volume and partially attenuated trabecular bone remodeling, cortical bone loss, and mechanical properties, whereas it produced a marked improvement in peritrabecular fibrosis along with a corresponding decrease in osteogenic gene markers. RIS treatment also suppressed the elevation of FGF23, which was associated with increased 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of severe SHPT, treatment with RIS partially attenuated histological manifestations of high-turnover bone disease. RIS treatment also suppressed the elevation of FGF23, which may explain the increased 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production during the treatment.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by severe joint inflammation and bone destruction as the result of increased numbers and activity of osteoclasts. RA is often associated with metabolic syndrome, whereby elevated levels of LDL are oxidized into oxLDL, which might affect osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we induced antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) in Apoe-/- mice, which spontaneously develop high LDL levels, to investigate the effects of high LDL/oxLDL levels on osteoclast differentiation and bone destruction. Whereas basal levels of bone resorption were comparable between naive WT and Apoe-/- mice, induction of AIA resulted in a significant reduction of bone destruction in Apoe-/- mice as compared to WT controls. In line with that, the TRAP+ area on the cortical bone was significantly decreased. The absence of Apoe did affect neither the numbers of CD11b+Ly6Chigh and CD11b-/Ly6Chigh osteoclast precursors (OCPs) in the BM of naïve mice nor their in vitro osteoclastogenic potential as indicated by comparable mRNA expression of osteoclast markers. Addition of oxLDL, but not LDL, to pre-osteoclasts from day 3 and mature osteoclasts from day 6 of osteoclastogenesis strongly reduced the number of TRAP+ osteoclasts and their resorptive capacity. This coincided with a decreased expression of various osteoclast markers. Interestingly, oxLDL significantly lowered the expression of osteoclast-associated receptor (Oscar) and the DNAX adaptor protein-12 encoding gene Tyrobp, which regulate the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) co-stimulation pathway that is strongly involved in osteoclastogenesis. Collectively, our findings suggest that under inflammatory conditions in the joint, high LDL levels lessen bone destruction during AIA, probably by formation of oxLDL that inhibits osteoclast formation and activity through modulation of the ITAM-signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rodent studies of bone in chronic kidney disease have primarily relied on end-point examinations of bone microarchitecture. This study used longitudinal in vivo microcomputed tomography (in vivo μCT) to characterize the onset and progression of bone loss, specifically cortical porosity, in the Cy/+ rat of model of CKD. METHODS Male CKD rats and normal littermates were studied. In vivo μCT scans of the right distal tibia repeated at 25, 30, and 35 weeks were analyzed for longitudinal changes in cortical and trabecular bone morphometry. In vitro μCT scans of the tibia and femur identified spatial patterns of bone loss across distal, midshaft and proximal sites. RESULTS CKD animals had reduced BV/TV and cortical BV at all time points but developed cortical porosity and thinning between 30 and 35 weeks. Cortical pore formation was localized near the endosteal surface. The severity of bone loss was variable across bone sites, but the distal tibia was representative of both cortical and trabecular changes. CONCLUSIONS The distal tibia was found to be a sensitive suitable site for longitudinal imaging of both cortical and trabecular bone changes in the CKD rat. CKD trabecular bone loss progressed through ~30 weeks followed by a sudden acceleration in cortical bone catabolism. These changes varied in timing and severity across individuals, and cortical bone loss and porosity progressed rapidly once initiated. The inclusion of longitudinal μCT in future studies will be important for both reducing the number of required animals and to track individual responses to treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) acquisition and reconstruction parameters on the assessment of mineralization process in a mouse model of atherosclerosis. PROCEDURES All experiments were performed on a dedicated preclinical PET/CT system. CT was evaluated using five acquisition configurations using both a tungsten wire phantom for in-plane resolution assessment and a bar pattern phantom for cross-plane resolution. Furthermore, the radiation dose of these acquisition configurations was calculated. The PET system was assessed using longitudinal line sources to determine the optimal reconstruction parameters by measuring central resolution and its coefficient of variation. An in vivo PET study was performed using uremic ApoE-/-, non-uremic ApoE-/-, and control mice to evaluate optimal PET reconstruction parameters for the detection of sodium [18F]fluoride (Na[18F]F) aortic uptake and for quantitative measurement of Na[18F]F bone influx (Ki) with a Patlak analysis. RESULTS For CT, the use of 1 × 1 and 2 × 2 binning detector mode increased both in-plane and cross-plane resolution. However, resolution improvement (163 to 62 μm for in-plane resolution) was associated with an important radiation dose increase (1.67 to 32.78 Gy). With PET, 3D-ordered subset expectation maximization (3D-OSEM) algorithm increased the central resolution compared to filtered back projection (1.42 ± 0.35 mm vs. 1.91 ± 0.08, p < 0.001). The use of 3D-OSEM with eight iterations and a zoom factor 2 yielded optimal PET resolution for preclinical study (FWHM = 0.98 mm). These PET reconstruction parameters allowed the detection of Na[18F]F aortic uptake in 3/14 ApoE-/- mice and demonstrated a decreased Ki in uremic ApoE-/- compared to non-uremic ApoE-/- and control mice (p < 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Optimizing reconstruction parameters significantly impacted on the assessment of mineralization process in a preclinical model of accelerated atherosclerosis using Na[18F]F PET. In addition, improving the CT resolution was associated with a dramatic radiation dose increase.

Chronic kidney failure mineral bone disorder leads to a permanent loss of hematopoietic stem cells through dysfunction of the stem cell niche. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15385. [PMID: 30337617 PMCID: PMC6194087 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-33979-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2017] [Accepted: 10/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), endothelial injury, is associated with disease progression and an increased risk for cardiovascular complications. Circulating cells with vascular reparative functions are hematopoietic and also reduced in CKD. To explore the mechanistic basis behind these observations, we have investigated hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis in a mouse model for non-progressive CKD-mineral and bone disorder with experimentally induced chronic renal failure (CRF). In mice subjected to 12 weeks of CRF, bone marrow HSC frequencies were decreased and transplantation of bone marrow cells from CRF donors showed a decrease in long-term HSC repopulation compared to controls. This loss was directly associated with a CRF-induced defect in the HSC niche affecting the cell cycle status of HSC and could not be restored by the PTH-reducing agent cinacalcet. In CRF, frequencies of quiescent (G0) HSC were decreased coinciding with an increase in hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in the S-and G2-phases of cell cycle. Moreover, in CRF mice, HSC-niche supporting macrophages were decreased compared to controls concomitant to impaired B lymphopoiesis. Our data point to a permanent loss of HSC and may provide insight into the root cause of the loss of homeostatic potential in CKD.

Klotho expression in osteocytes regulates bone metabolism and controls bone formation. Kidney Int 2017; 92:599-611.

Abstract
Osteocytes within the mineralized bone matrix control bone remodeling by regulating osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Osteocytes express the aging suppressor Klotho, but the functional role of this protein in skeletal homeostasis is unknown. Here we identify Klotho expression in osteocytes as a potent regulator of bone formation and bone mass. Targeted deletion of Klotho from osteocytes led to a striking increase in bone formation and bone volume coupled with enhanced osteoblast activity, in sharp contrast to what is observed in Klotho hypomorphic (kl/kl) mice. Conversely, overexpression of Klotho in cultured osteoblastic cells inhibited mineralization and osteogenic activity during osteocyte differentiation. Further, the induction of chronic kidney disease with high-turnover renal osteodystrophy led to downregulation of Klotho in bone cells. This appeared to offset the skeletal impact of osteocyte-targeted Klotho deletion. Thus, our findings establish a key role of osteocyte-expressed Klotho in regulating bone metabolism and indicate a new mechanism by which osteocytes control bone formation.

Abstract
Circulating levels of bone-derived fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) increase early during acute and chronic kidney disease and are associated with adverse outcomes. Membrane-bound Klotho acts as a permissive coreceptor for FGF23, and its expression was recently found in osteoblasts/osteocytes. We hypothesized that Klotho in bone cells is part of an autocrine feedback loop that regulates FGF23 expression during renal failure. Thus, we induced renal failure in mice with targeted deletion of Klotho in long bones. Uremic wild-type (KLfl/fl ) and knockout (Prx1-Cre;KLfl/fl ) mice both responded with reduced body weight, kidney atrophy, hyperphosphatemia, and increased bone turnover. Importantly, long bones of Prx1-Cre;KLfl/fl mice but not their axial skeleton failed to increase FGF23 expression as observed in uremic KLfl/fl mice. Consequently, Prx1-Cre;KLfl/fl mice had significantly lower serum FGF23 and parathyroid hormone levels, and higher renal 1-α-hydroxylase expression, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and calcium levels than KLfl/fl mice. These results were confirmed in two independent models of renal failure, adenine diet induced and 5/6 nephrectomy. Moreover, FGF23-treated bone cells required Klotho to increase FGF23 mRNA and ERK phosphorylation. In summary, our novel findings show that Klotho in bone is crucial for inducing FGF23 production upon renal failure. We propose the presence of an autocrine feedback loop in which Klotho senses the need for FGF23.-Kaludjerovic, J., Komaba, H., Sato, T., Erben, R. G., Baron, R., Olauson, H., Larsson, T.

Abstract
It is commonly held that osteitis fibrosa and mixed uremic osteodystrophy are the predominant forms of renal osteodystrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease. Osteitis fibrosa is a high-turnover bone disease resulting mainly from secondary hyperparathyroidism, and mixed uremic osteodystrophy is in addition characterized by a mineralization defect most often attributed to vitamin D deficiency. However, there is ancient and more recent evidence that in early chronic kidney disease stages adynamic bone disease characterized by low bone turnover occurs first, at least in a significant proportion of patients. This could be due to the initial predominance of bone turnover-inhibitory conditions such as resistance to the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH), reduced calcitriol levels, sex hormone deficiency, diabetes, and, last but not least, uremic toxins leading to repression of osteocyte Wnt/β-catenin signaling and increased expression of Wnt antagonists such as sclerostin, Dickkopf-1, and sFRP4. The development of high-turnover bone disease would occur only later on, when serum PTH levels are able to overcome peripheral PTH resistance and the other inhibitory factors of bone formation. Whether FGF23 and Klotho play a direct role in the transition from low- to high-turnover bone disease or participate only indirectly via regulating PTH secretion remains to be seen.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with mineral and bone disorder (MBD), which is the main cause of the extensively increased cardiovascular mortality in the CKD population. We now aimed to establish a new murine experimental CKD-MBD model. Dilute brown non-Agouti (DBA/2) mice were fed with high-phosphate diet for 4 (HPD4) or 7 (HPD7) days, then with standard chow diet (SCD) and subsequently followed until day 84. They were compared to DBA/2 mice maintained on SCD during the whole study period. Both 4 and 7 days HPD-fed mice developed phosphate nephropathy with tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and increased serum urea levels. The abdominal aorta of HPD-treated mice showed signs of media calcification. Histomorphometric analysis of HPD-treated mice showed decreased bone volume/tissue volume, low mineral apposition rate, and low bone formation rate as compared to SCD-fed mice, despite increased parathyroid hormone levels. Overall, the observed phenotype was more pronounced in the HPD7 group. In summary, we established a new, noninvasive, and therefore easy to perform reproducible CKD-MBD model, which showed media calcification, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and low-turnover bone disease.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy affects the majority of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is characterized by progressive bone loss. This study evaluated the effects of sclerostin knockout on bone in a murine model of severe, surgically induced CKD in both sclerostin knockout and wild-type mice. Mice of both genotypes with normal kidney function served as controls. Tibiae were analyzed using micro-computed tomography, and lumbar vertebrae were analyzed by histomorphometry. Results were tested for statistical significance by 2-way ANOVA to investigate whether bone of the knockout mice reacted differently to CKD compared with bone of wild-type mice. In the tibiae, there was no difference after creation of CKD between wild-type and knockout animals for cortical thickness or cross-sectional moment of inertia. Increases in cortical porosity induced by CKD differed significantly between genotypes in the tibial metaphysis but not in the diaphysis. In the trabecular compartment, no difference in reaction to CKD between genotypes was found for bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular thickness, and trabecular separation. In the lumbar vertebrae, significant differences in response to CKD between wild-type and knockout mice were seen for both bone volume and trabecular thickness. Osteoblast parameters did not differ significantly, whereas osteoclast numbers significantly increased in the wild-type but significantly decreased in knockout mice with CKD. No differences in response to CKD between genotypes were found for bone formation rate or mineral apposition rate. Thus, complete absence of sclerostin has only minor effects on CKD-induced bone loss in mice.

Abstract
Because current rat models used to study chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related vascular calcification show consistent but excessive vascular calcification and chaotic, immeasurable, bone mineralization due to excessive bone turnover, they are not suited to study the bone-vascular axis in one and the same animal. Because vascular calcification and bone mineralization are closely related to each other, an animal model in which both pathologies can be studied concomitantly is highly needed. CKD-related vascular calcification in rats was induced by a 0.25% adenine/low vitamin K diet. To follow vascular calcification and bone pathology over time, rats were killed at weeks 4, 8, 10, 11, and 12. Both static and dynamic bone parameters were measured. Vascular calcification was quantified by histomorphometry and measurement of the arterial calcium content. Stable, severe CKD was induced along with hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia as well as increased serum PTH and FGF23. Calcification in the aorta and peripheral arteries was present from week 8 of CKD onward. Four and 8 weeks after CKD, static and dynamic bone parameters were measurable in all animals, thereby presenting typical features of hyperparathyroid bone disease. Multiple regression analysis showed that the eroded perimeter and mineral apposition rate in the bone were strong predictors for aortic calcification. This rat model presents a stable CKD, moderate vascular calcification, and quantifiable bone pathology after 8 weeks of CKD and is the first model that lends itself to study these main complications simultaneously in CKD in mechanistic and intervention studies.

Abstract
AIM Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays an important role in the transport and metabolism of lipids. Recent studies show that bone mass is increased in young apoE(-/-) mice. In this study we investigated the bone phenotype and metabolism in aged apoE(-/-) mice. METHODS Femurs and tibias were collected from 18- and 72-week-old apoE(-/-) mice and their age-matched wild-type (WT) littermates, and examined using micro-CT and histological analysis. Serum levels of total cholesterol, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and bone turnover markers were measured. Cultured bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from tibias and femurs of 18-week-old apoE(-/-) mice were used in experiments in vitro. The expression levels of Sirt1 and Runx2 in bone tissue and BMSCs were measured using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. RESULTS Compared with age-matched WT littermates, young apoE(-/-) mice exhibited high bone mass with increased bone formation, accompanied by higher serum levels of bone turnover markers OCN and TRAP5b, and higher expression levels of Sirt1, Runx2, ALP and OCN in bone tissue. In contrast, aged apoE(-/-) mice showed reduced bone formation and lower bone mass relative to age-matched WT mice, accompanied by lower serum OCN levels, and markedly reduced expression levels of Sirt1, Runx2, ALP and OCN in bone tissue. After BMSCs were exposed to ox-LDL (20 μg/mL), the expression of Sirt1 and Runx2 proteins was significantly increased at 12 h, and then decreased at 72 h. Treatment with the Sirt1 inhibitor EX527 (10 μmol/L) suppressed the expression of Runx2, ALP and OCN in BMSCs. CONCLUSION In contrast to young apoE(-/-) mice, aged apoE(-/-) mice showe lower bone mass than age-matched WT mice. Long-lasting exposure to ox-LDL decreases the expression of Sirt1 and Runx2 in BMSCs, which may explain the decreased bone formation in aged apoE(-/-) mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role and possible mechanism of α-Klotho in the calcification and the osteogenic transition of cultured VSMCs. METHODS VSMCs were cultured in vitro and divided into 5 groups, each using a different medium: (1) control; (2) β-GP; (3) β-GP + Klotho; (4) β-GP + LiCl; (5) β-GP + Klotho + LiCl. Calcium deposits were visualized using Alizarin Red S staining. The calcium concentrations were determined by the o-cresolphthalein complexone method. BMP2, Runx2 and β-catenin levels were estimated by western blotting, and the level of α-SMA was determined by using immunofluorescence at day 12. RESULTS β-GP induced an increase in the expression of BMP2, Runx2, and β-catenin. The calcium content increased, and the expression of α-SMA decreased. Alizarin Red S staining was positive under the high phosphorus conditions. BMP2, Runx2, and β-catenin levels and the calcium content decreased when the cells were cultured with rmKlotho; however, the levels of each were upregulated after treatment with the LiCl. CONCLUSIONS Klotho can ameliorate the calcification and osteogenic transition of VSMCs induced by β-GP. The mechanism of Klotho in preventing calcification in VSMCs may be partially mediated by the inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Pyrophosphate (PPi), an endogenous molecule that inhibits hydroxyapatite crystal formation, has been shown to prevent the development of VC in animal models of CKD. However, the possibility of harmful effects of exogenous administration of PPi on bone requires further investigation. To this end, we examined by histomorphometry the bone of CKD mice after intraperitoneal PPi administration. After CKD creation or sham surgery, 10-week-old female apolipoprotein-E knockout (apoE(-/-)) mice were randomized to one non-CKD group or 4 CKD groups (n = 10-35/group) treated with placebo or three distinct doses of PPi, and fed with standard diet. Eight weeks later, the animals were killed. Serum and femurs were sampled. Femurs were processed for bone histomorphometry. Placebo-treated CKD mice had significantly higher values of osteoid volume, osteoid surface and bone formation rate than sham-placebo mice with normal renal function. Slightly higher osteoid values were observed in CKD mice in response to very low PPi dose (OV/BV, O.Th and ObS/BS) and, for one parameter measured, to high PPi dose (O.Th), compared to placebo-treated CKD mice. Treatment with PPi did not modify any other structural parameters. Mineral apposition rates, and other parameters of bone formation and resorption were not significantly different among the treated animal groups or control CKD placebo group. In conclusion, PPi does not appear to be deleterious to bone tissue in apoE(-/-) mice with CKD, although a possible stimulatory PPi effect on osteoid formation may be worth further investigation.

Abstract
A number of unexpected molecules were recently identified as products of osteoblasts, linking bone homeostasis to systemic energy metabolism. Here we identify the lipolytic enzyme hepatic lipase (HL, encoded by Lipc) as a novel cell-autonomous regulator of osteoblast function. In an unbiased genome-wide expression analysis, we find Lipc to be highly induced upon osteoblast differentiation, verified by quantitative Taqman analyses of primary osteoblasts in vitro and of bone samples in vivo. Functionally, loss of HL in vitro leads to increased expression and secretion of osteoprotegerin (OPG), while expression of some osteoblast differentiation makers is impaired. When challenging energy metabolism in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) study, lack of HL leads to a significant increase in bone formation markers and a decrease in bone resorption markers. Accordingly, in the DIO setting, we observe in Lipc(-/-) animals but not in wild-type controls a significant increase in lumbar vertebral trabecular bone mass and formation rate as well as in femoral trabecular bone mass and cortical thickness. Taken together, we demonstrate that HL expressed by osteoblasts has an impact on osteoblast OPG expression and that lack of HL leads to increased bone mass in DIO. These data provide a novel and completely unexpected molecular link in the complex interplay of osteoblasts and systemic energy metabolism.

Abstract
Cardiovascular risk factors are known to be associated with intervertebral disc degeneration, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. The ApoE knockout (KO) mouse is a well-established model for atheroscelorosis. We hypothesized that ApoE is involved in maintaining disc health and that ApoE KO mice will develop early disc degeneration. Discs of ApoE KO and wild-type (WT) mice were characterized with histological/immunological, biochemical, and real-time RT-PCR assays. A comparison of the extracellular matrix production was also performed in disc cells. We demonstrated that ApoE was highly expressed in the endplates of WT discs, and ectopic bone formed in the endplates of ApoE KO discs. Glycosaminoglycan content was decreased in both ApoE KO annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. Collagen levels were increased in AF and decreased in NP cells. Matrix metalloproteinase-3, -9, and -13 expressions were increased, which may partially explain the impaired matrix production. We also found collagen I, II, aggrecan, and biglycan mRNA expressions were increased in AF cells but decreased in NP cells. Apoptosis was increased in the ApoE KO NP tissue. These results suggest early disc degeneration changes in the ApoE KO mice. ApoE may play a critical role in disc integrity and function.

Human apolipoprotein E isoforms differentially affect bone mass and turnover in vivo. J Bone Miner Res 2013; 28:236-45.

Abstract
The primary role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is to mediate the cellular uptake of lipoproteins. However, a new role for apoE as a regulator of bone metabolism in mice has recently been established. In contrast to mice, the human APOE gene is characterized by three common isoforms APOE ε2, ε3, and ε4 that result in different metabolic properties of the apoE isoforms, but it remains controversial whether the APOE polymorphism influences bone traits in humans. To clarify this, we investigated bone phenotypes of apoE knock-in (k.i.) mice, which express one human isoform each (apoE2 k.i., apoE3 k.i., apoE4 k.i.) in place of the mouse apoE. Analysis of 12-week-old female k.i. mice revealed increased levels of biochemical bone formation and resorption markers in apoE2 k.i. animals as compared to apoE3 k.i. and apoE4 k.i., with a reduced osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) ratio in apoE2 k.i., indicating increased turnover with prevailing resorption in apoE2 k.i. Accordingly, histomorphometric and micro-computed tomography (µCT) analyses demonstrated significantly lower trabecular bone mass in apoE2 than in apoE3 and apoE4 k.i. animals, which was reflected by a significant reduction of lumbar vertebrae maximum force resistance. Unlike trabecular bone, femoral cortical thickness, and stability was not differentially affected by the apoE isoforms. To extend these observations to the human situation, plasma from middle-aged healthy men homozygous for ε2/ε2, ε3/ε3, and ε4/ε4 (n = 21, n = 80, n = 55, respectively) was analyzed with regard to bone turnover markers. In analogy to apoE2 k.i. mice, a lower OPG/RANKL ratio was observed in the serum of ε2/ε2 carriers as compared to ε3/ε3 and ε4/ε4 individuals (p = 0.02 for ε2/ε2 versus ε4/ε4). In conclusion, the current data strongly underline the general importance of apoE as a regulator of bone metabolism and identifies the APOE ε2 allele as a potential genetic risk factor for low trabecular bone mass and vertebral fractures in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification, causing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, is associated with hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In vitro, phosphate induces transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells to osteoblast-like cells that express alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In vivo, raised serum ALP activities are associated with increased mortality. A new bone ALP isoform (B1x) has been identified in serum from CKD patients. The present study investigated the different ALP isoforms in calcifying human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMCs). METHODS HAoSMCs were cultured for 30 days in medium containing 5 or 10 mmol/l β-glycerophosphate in the presence or absence of the ALP-specific inhibitor tetramisole. RESULTS All known bone-specific ALP (BALP) isoforms (B/I, B1x, B1 and B2) were identified in HAoSMCs. β-Glycerophosphate stimulated calcification of HAoSMCs, which was associated with increased BALP isoforms B/I, B1x and B2. Tetramisole inhibited the β-glycerophosphate-induced HAoSMC calcification, which was paralleled by the inhibition of the B1x and B/I, but not the other isoforms. CONCLUSIONS HAoSMCs express the four known BALP isoforms. B/I, B1x and B2 could be essential for soft tissue calcification. B/I and B1x were more affected by tetramisole than the other isoforms, which suggests different biological functions during calcification of HAoSMCs.

Abstract
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), osteodystrophy and arterial calcification often coexist. However, arterial alterations have not been addressed in CKD unaccompanied by evidence of calcification. We investigated the association of phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca) accumulation in calcification-free aortas with CKD-induced osteodystrophy. Aortic accumulation of magnesium (Mg), an inhibitor of calcification, was also examined. Male mice aged 26 weeks with CKD characterized by hyperparathyroidism and hyperphosphatemia (Nx, n = 8) and age-matched healthy male mice (shams, n = 8) were sampled for blood, and thoracic vertebrae and aortas were harvested. Bone structure and chemicals were analyzed by microcomputed tomography and infrared microspectroscopy, respectively, and aortic accumulation of P, Ca, and Mg was evaluated by plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Volume fractions of cortical and trabecular bones were smaller in Nx than in sham animals (P < 0.05), attributed to cortical thinning and reduction in trabecular number, respectively. Bone chemicals were not different between the groups. No calcification was found in either group, but P, Ca, and Mg contents were higher in Nx than in shams (P < 0.05). The mass ratio of Ca/P was lower in Nx than in shams (P < 0.05), but that of Mg/Ca and Mg/P was not different between the groups. Aortic P and Ca contents were inversely correlated with the volume fraction of cortical bone (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the relationship of osteodystrophy with aortic P and Ca accumulation suggests the existence of a bone-vascular axis, even in calcification-free arteries in CKD. The preservation of ratios of Mg/Ca and Mg/P despite CKD development might contribute to calcification resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic syndrome characterized by imbalances in mineral homeostasis, renal osteodystrophy (ROD) and ectopic calcification. The mechanisms underlying this syndrome in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not yet clear. METHODS We examined the effect of normal phosphate (NP) or high phosphate (HP) feeding in the setting of CKD on bone pathology, serum biochemistry and vascular calcification in calcification-prone dilute brown non-agouti (DBA/2) mice. RESULTS In both NP and HP-fed CKD mice, elevated serum parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were observed, but serum phosphorus levels were equivalent compared with sham controls. CKD mice on NP diet showed trabecular alterations in the long bone consistent with high-turnover ROD, including increased trabecular number with abundant osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Despite trabecular bone and serum biochemical changes, CKD/NP mice did not develop vascular calcification. In contrast, CKD/HP mice developed arterial medial calcification (AMC), more severe trabecular bone alterations and cortical bone abnormalities that included decreased cortical thickness and density, and increased cortical porosity. Cortical bone porosity and trabecular number strongly correlated with the degree of aortic calcification. CONCLUSIONS HP feeding was required to induce the full spectrum of CKD-MBD symptoms in CKD mice.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a major structural apolipoprotein of several lipoprotein classes. Over the last 13 years, numerous studies have focused on the question whether human apoE affects bone phenotypes and, more recently, whether apoE regulates bone metabolism in mice. Here, we first provide a brief background introduction into the structure, established physiological and pathophysiological functions of apoE, and will then discuss the new aspects of the emerging role of apoE in bone.

Abstract
Soy protein consumption and exercise training have been widely studied for their effects on the vasculature and bone in healthy populations, but little is known about the effectiveness of these interventions in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cardiovascular disease and bone fracture risk are significantly elevated in CKD, and current pharmacological interventions have been unsuccessful in treating these conditions simultaneously. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a soy protein diet and endurance exercise training, alone or in combination, on cardiovascular and bone health in a mouse model of renal insufficiency. At 8 weeks of age, 60 female apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice underwent a two-step surgical procedure to induce uremia. These mice were then randomized at 12 weeks of age to one of four treatment groups for the 16-week intervention period: sedentary, control diet (n = 16); sedentary, soy protein diet (n = 18); exercise, control diet (n = 14); and exercise, soy protein diet (n = 12). There were no significant treatment effects on atherosclerotic lesion areas or aortic calcium deposits. We demonstrated a significant main effect of both diet and exercise on relative bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular separation, and trabecular connective density in the proximal femur as measured by microcomputed tomography. There were no treatment effects on trabecular thickness. We also showed a main effect of diet on plasma urea levels. These data suggest that soy protein intake and exercise training exert beneficial effects on properties of bone and plasma urea levels in mice with surgically induced renal impairment.

Abstract
This review focuses on the roles of oxylipids and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand signaling in calcific cardiovascular disease. Both intimal and valvular calcifications are closely associated with atherosclerosis, leading investigators to study the role of atherogenic oxidatively modified lipids (oxylipids). Results have identified the molecular signaling through which oxylipids induce osteogenic differentiation and calcification in vascular cells. A surprising concomitant finding was that, in bona fide osteoblasts from skeletal bone, oxylipids have the opposite effect, ie, inhibiting osteoblastic maturation. This is the basis for the lipid hypothesis of osteoporosis. Oxylipids also induce resorptive osteoclastic cells within the bone environment, raising the question of whether resorptive osteoclasts can be harnessed in the vascular context for cell-based therapy to remove artery wall mineral deposits. The challenge is that vascular cells produce antiosteoclastogenic factors, including the soluble decoy receptor for receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, possibly accounting for the paucity of resorptive cells and the dominance of mineral in atherosclerotic plaque. These factors may have therapeutic use in osteoclastogenic removal of mineral deposits from arteries.

Abstract
Accelerated atherosclerotic plaque calcification and extensive medial calcifications are common and highly detrimental complications of chronic kidney disease. Valid murine models have been developed to investigate both pathologically distinguishable complications, which allow for better insight into the cellular mechanisms underlying these vascular pathologies and evaluation of compounds that might prevent or retard the onset or progression of vascular calcification. This review describes various experimental models that have been used for the study of arterial intimal and/or medial calcification and discusses the extent to which this experimental research has contributed to our current understanding of vascular calcification, particularly in the setting of chronic renal failure.
