Abstract
Basic, translational and clinical research over the past few decades has provided new understanding on the mechanisms by which activation of the receptor of parathyroid hormone (parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R)) regulates bone physiology and pathophysiology. A fundamental change in the field emerged upon the recognition that osteocytes, which are permanent residents of bone and the most abundant cells in bone, are targets of the actions of natural and synthetic ligands of PTH1R (parathyroid hormone and abaloparatide, respectively), and that these cells drive essential actions related to bone remodelling. Among the numerous genes regulated by PTH1R in osteocytes, SOST (which encodes sclerostin, the WNT signalling antagonist and inhibitor of bone formation) has a critical role in bone homeostasis and changes in its expression are associated with several bone pathologies. The bone fragility syndrome induced by diabetes mellitus is accompanied by increased osteocyte apoptosis and changes in the expression of osteocytic genes, including SOST. This Review will discuss advances in our knowledge of the role of osteocytes in PTH1R signalling and the new opportunities to restore bone health in diabetes mellitus by targeting the osteocytic PTH1R-sclerostin axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients are diagnosed with osteoporosis shortly prior to scheduling total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The purpose of this study was to determine if initiation of bisphosphonates prior to TJA decreased the risks of periprosthetic fractures (PPFx). METHODS A national database was used to identify all patients diagnosed with osteoporosis prior to primary TJA. Patients who had osteoporosis without preoperative bisphosphonate use were designated as our control group. Patients on preoperative bisphosphonates were stratified based on duration and timing of bisphosphonate use: long-term preoperative users (initiation 3 to 5 years preoperatively), intermediate-term preoperative users (initiation 1 to 3 years preoperatively), and short-term preoperative users (initiation 0 to 1 year preoperatively). Rates of PPFx at 90-day and 2-year follow-up were compared between groups. RESULTS In patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty, there was no difference in PPFx rate between our control group and preoperative bisphosphonate users of all durations at 90-day (P = .12) and 2-year follow-up (P = .22). In patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty, there was no difference in PPFx rate between our control group and preoperative bisphosphonate users of all durations at 90-day (P = .76) and 2-year follow-up (P = .39). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing primary TJA, preoperative bisphosphonate users did not have a decreased PPFx rate compared to our control group at 90-day and 2-year follow-up. Our findings suggest that preoperative bisphosphonate use, regardless of the duration of treatment, does not confer protective benefits against PPFx in patients undergoing TJA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent metabolic disease characterized by low systemic bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, resulting in reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk. Current treatment options for osteoporosis are limited by factors such as efficacy, cost, availability, side effects, and acceptability to patients. Gold nanoparticles show promise as an emerging osteoporosis therapy due to their osteogenic effects and ability to allow therapeutic delivery but have inherent constraints, such as low specificity and the potential for heavy metal accumulation in the body. This study reports the synthesis of ultrasmall gold particles almost reaching the Ångstrom (Ång) dimension. The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (LA) is used as a dispersant and stabilizer to coat Ångstrom-scale gold particles (AuÅPs). Alendronate (AL), an amino-bisphosphonate commonly used in drug therapy for osteoporosis, is conjugated through LA to the surface of AuÅPs, allowing targeted delivery to bone and enhancing antiresorptive therapeutic effects. In this study, alendronate-loaded Ångstrom-scale gold particles (AuÅPs-AL) were used for the first time to promote osteogenesis and alleviate bone loss through regulation of the WNT signaling pathway, as shown through in vitro tests. The in vivo therapeutic effects of AuÅPs-AL were demonstrated in an established osteoporosis mouse model. The results of Micro-computed Tomography, histology, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining indicated that AuÅPs-AL significantly improved bone density and prevented bone loss, with no evidence of nanoparticle-associated toxicity. These findings suggest the possible future application of AuÅPs-AL in osteoporosis therapy and point to the potential of developing new approaches for treating metabolic bone diseases using Ångstrom-scale gold particles.

Pickering ME, Javier RM, Malochet S, Pickering G, Desmeules J. Osteoporosis treatment and pain relief: A scoping review. Eur J Pain 2024; 28:3-20. [PMID: 37403555 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Anti-osteoporosis (OP) drugs have been suggested to contribute to pain reduction during OP management. This scoping review aimed at mapping the literature on pain relief with anti-OP drugs in OP treatment. DATABASES AND DATA TREATMENT Medline, Pubmed and Cochrane databases were searched by two reviewers with keywords combinations. Randomized controlled and real-life English studies, pain as an endpoint, antiosteoporosis drugs were inclusion criteria. Case reports, surveys, comment letters, conference abstracts, animal studies and grey literature were excluded. Predetermined data were extracted by two reviewers and disagreement solved through discussion. RESULTS A total of 130 articles were identified, 31 publications were included, 12 randomized clinical trials and 19 observational studies. Pain reduction was assessed by different tools: Visual Analogue Scale, Verbal Rating Scale, Facial Scale or as a domain of quality of life questionnaires including Short form 8, 36, mini-OP, Japanese OP, Qualeffo, Roland Morris Disability questionnaires. Collective data show that anti-OP drugs may display an analgesic effect that may be linked to the local mode of action of drugs on bone and consecutive modulation of pain sensitization. The methodology of the studies showed a heterogeneity of endpoints, comparators, statistical approaches and follow-up duration. CONCLUSION Considering the limitations of the literature, there is a need for more rigorous trials and larger real-life studies taking into account the recommendations published for research in rheumatology and in pain medicine. The identification of responders, patient subtypes, and of analgesic-effect doses would allow optimization and individualization for pain relief in patients with OP. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT This scoping review shows that anti-OP drugs may improve pain and quality of life of patients with OP. The heterogeneity in design, choice of endpoints, methodology, comparators and follow-up duration of included randomized clinical trials and real-life studies does not allow so far to identify a predominant antiosteoporosis drug or an optimal dosage for pain relief. These gaps need to be addressed and warrant further research in the future for optimizing pain improvement in the course of OP drug treatment.

Abstract
Optimized animal models and effective imaging techniques are exceedingly important to study cranial defects in bone loss due to chronic inflammation. In this study, the assessment procedure on a zebrafish inflammation-type skull defects model was monitored in vivo with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and the efficacy of etidronate disodium in bone regeneration was assessed. An acute skull defect injury model was established in adult zebrafish using a stereotaxic craniotomy device. SD-OCT imaging was performed immediately following the mechanical injury. Both SD-OCT and immunohistochemistry results demonstrated an increase in inflammation-induced skull destruction within 5 days, which was confirmed by pathological experiments.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are therapeutic agents that have been used for almost five decades in the treatment of various bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, Paget disease and prevention of osseous complications in cancer patients. In nuclear medicine, simple bisphosphonates such as 99mTc-radiolabelled oxidronate and medronate remain first-line bone scintigraphic imaging agents for both oncology and non-oncology indications. In line with the growing interest in theranostic molecules, bifunctional bisphosphonates bearing a chelating moiety capable of complexing a variety of radiometals were designed. Among them, DOTA-conjugated zoledronate (DOTAZOL) emerged as an ideal derivative for both PET imaging (when radiolabeled with 68Ga) and management of bone metastases from various types of cancer (when radiolabeled with 177Lu). In this context, this report provides an overview of the main medicinal chemistry aspects concerning bisphosphonates, discussing their roles in molecular oncology imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy with a particular focus on bifunctional bisphosphonates. Particular attention is also paid to the development of DOTAZOL, with emphasis on the radiochemistry and quality control aspects of its preparation, before outlining the preclinical and clinical data obtained so far with this radiopharmaceutical candidate.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs), the stable analogs of pyrophosphate, are well-known inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis to prevent osteoporotic bone loss and improve implant osseointegration in patients suffering from osteoporosis. Compared to systemic administration, BPs-incorporated coatings enable the direct delivery of BPs to the local area, which will precisely enhance osseointegration and bone repair without the systemic side effects. However, an elaborate and comprehensive review of BP coatings of implants is lacking. Herein, the cellular level (e.g., osteoclasts, osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclast precursors, and bone mesenchymal stem cells) and molecular biological regulatory mechanism of BPs in regulating bone homeostasis are overviewed systematically. Moreover, the currently available methods (e.g., chemical reaction, porous carriers, and organic material films) of BP coatings construction are outlined and summarized in detail. As one of the key directions, the latest advances of BP-coated implants to enhance bone repair and osseointegration in basic experiments and clinical trials are presented and critically evaluated. Finally, the challenges and prospects of BP coatings are also purposed, and it will open a new chapter in clinical translation for BP-coated implants.

Abstract
Alendronate, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, has reported long-term clinical success in the management of distinct bone-related conditions, particularly in the modulation of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Nonetheless, whether the inhibitory activity over osteoclastic cells' functionality is widely acknowledged, contradictory evidence arises from the assessment of alendronate activity over osteoblastic populations. This may be of particular relevance in situations in which bone formation exceeds bone resorption, with further emphasis on embryonic development, since alendronate can cross the placental barrier and alendronate-based therapies are being extended into women of reproductive age. Accordingly, the present study aims to assess the effects of alendronate, at distinct concentrations (1.5E-10M to 1.5E-7M) on bone tissue development, within a translational animal model - the embryonic chicken development model. Embryos, at the beginning of osteogenesis (day 7) were exposed to different alendronate concentrations for 4 days. Embryos were following characterized for skeletal development by histomorphometric analysis upon histochemical staining, microtomographic analysis, and gene expression assessment of genes related to osteoclastogenic/osteoclastic and osteoblastogenic/osteogenic differentiation, as well as to the immuno-inflammatory activation. The findings revealed that exposure to alendronate had a dose-dependent impact on skeletal growth and mineralization. This effect was evidenced by diminished bone volume and reduced bone surface parameters, with the 1.5E-7M concentration leading to a remarkable reduction of over 50%. Additionally, a decreased osteoclastogenic/osteoclastic gene expression was verified, associated with a diminished osteoblastogenic/osteogenic program - within the 30-50% range for 1.5E-7 M, supporting the diminished bone formation process. An increased inflammatory activation may contribute, at least in part, to the attained outcomes. Overall present findings suggest a negative influence of alendronate on the embryonic bone development process in a dose-dependent manner, highlighting the potential risk of alendronate use during embryonic development.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to examine the literature on the topic of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) and dental implant failure in patients undergoing bisphosphonate (BP) therapy who also received dental implants before, during, or after BP treatment, as compared to healthy patients. This research followed the guidelines in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. The "PICO" or population, intervention, comparison, and outcome clinical question was as follows: does the insertion of dental implants in patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy increase the failure and loss of implants or the incidence of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw compared to healthy patients? The articles published in PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) up to July 1, 2023, were retrieved using a mix of Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) words and their entry terms. The absence of randomized clinical trials examining this issue underscores the need for additional studies with extended follow-ups to answer outstanding questions. Because of the potential for BRONJ and implant failure, patients receiving bisphosphonate medication should exercise caution when planning dental implant surgery. In addition, when such procedures are carried out, the patient's entire systemic condition must be considered.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs), compounds that are widely used in the treatment of bone disorders, may cause side effects related to endothelial dysfunction. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of chronic 6-day exposure to two common bone-preserving drugs, alendronate and zoledronate, on endothelial function and oxidative metabolism of cultured human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). NBPs reduced cell viability, induced oxidative stress and a pro-inflammatory state and downregulated the prenylation-dependent ERK1/2 signaling pathway in endothelial cells. In addition, NBPs induced increased anaerobic respiration and slightly increased oxidative mitochondrial capacity, affecting mitochondrial turnover through reduced mitochondrial fission. Moreover, by blocking the mevalonate pathway, NBPs caused a significant decrease in the level of coenzyme Q10, thereby depriving endothelial cells of an important antioxidant and mitochondrial electron carrier. This resulted in increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, and impairment of mitochondrial respiratory function. A general decrease in mitochondrial respiration occurred with stronger reducing fuels (pyruvate and glutamate) in NBP-treated intact endothelial cells, and significantly reduced phosphorylating respiration was observed during the oxidation of succinate and especially malate in NBP-treated permeabilized endothelial cells. The observed changes in oxidative metabolism caused a decrease in ATP levels and an increase in oxygen levels in NBP-treated cells. Thus, NBPs modulate the energy metabolism of endothelial cells, leading to alterations in the cellular energy state, coenzyme Q10 redox balance, mitochondrial respiratory function, and mitochondrial turnover.

Abstract
Bone stress injuries are common overuse injuries, especially in soldiers, athletes, and performers. In contrast to various post-injury treatments, early protection against bone stress injuries can provide greater benefit. This study explored the early protection strategies against bone stress injuries by mobilization of endogenous targeted bone remodeling. The effects of various pharmaceutical/biophysical approaches, individual or combinational, were investigated by giving intervention before fatigue loading. We optimized the dosage and administration parameters and found that early intervention with pulsed electromagnetic field and parathyroid hormone (i.e., PEMF+PTH) resulted in the most pronounced protective effects among all the approaches against the bone stress injuries. In addition, the mechanisms by which the strategy mobilizes targeted bone remodeling and enhances the self-repair capacity of bone were systematically investigated. This study proposes strategies to reduce the incidence of bone stress injuries in high-risk populations (e.g., soldiers and athletes), particularly for those before sudden increased physical training.

Scala R, Maqoud F, McClenaghan C, Harter TM, Perrone MG, Scilimati A, Nichols CG, Tricarico D. Zoledronic Acid Blocks Overactive Kir6.1/SUR2-Dependent K ATP Channels in Skeletal Muscle and Osteoblasts in a Murine Model of Cantú Syndrome. Cells 2023; 12:928. [PMID: 36980269 PMCID: PMC10047381 DOI: 10.3390/cells12060928] [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: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Cantú syndrome (CS) is caused by the gain of function mutations in the ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes encoding, respectively, for the sulfonylureas receptor type 2 (SUR2) and the inwardly rectifier potassium channel 6.1 (Kir6.1) of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels. CS is a multi-organ condition with a cardiovascular phenotype, neuromuscular symptoms, and skeletal malformations. Glibenclamide has been proposed for use in CS, but even in animals, the drug is incompletely effective against severe mutations, including the Kir6.1wt/V65M. Patch-clamp experiments showed that zoledronic acid (ZOL) fully reduced the whole-cell KATP currents in bone calvaria cells from wild type (WT/WT) and heterozygous Kir6.1wt/V65MCS mice, with IC50 for ZOL block < 1 nM in each case. ZOL fully reduced KATP current in excised patches in skeletal muscle fibers in WT/WT and CS mice, with IC50 of 100 nM in each case. Interestingly, KATP currents in the bone of heterozygous SUR2wt/A478V mice were less sensitive to ZOL inhibition, showing an IC50 of ~500 nM and a slope of ~0.3. In homozygous SUR2A478V/A478V cells, ZOL failed to fully inhibit the KATP currents, causing only ~35% inhibition at 100 μM, but was responsive to glibenclamide. ZOL reduced the KATP currents in Kir6.1wt/VMCS mice in both skeletal muscle and bone cells but was not effective in the SUR2[A478V] mice fibers. These data indicate a subunit specificity of ZOL action that is important for appropriate CS therapies.

Abstract
Childhood osteoporosis leads to increased propensity to fracture, and thus is an important cause of morbidity, pain and healthcare utilisation. Osteoporosis in children may be caused by a primary bone defect or secondary to an underlying medical condition and/or its treatment. Primary osteoporosis is rare, but there is an increasing number of children with risk factors for secondary osteoporosis. Therefore it is imperative that all paediatricians are aware of the diagnostic criteria and baseline investigations for childhood osteoporosis to enable timely referral to a specialist in paediatric bone health. This review will discuss the approach to diagnosis, investigation and management of childhood osteoporosis, with particular consideration to advances in molecular diagnosis of primary bone disorders, and current and emerging therapies for fracture reduction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since several additional actions of bone bisphosphonates have been proposed, we studied the effect of the bisphosphonate alendronate (ALN) on the vascular response to environmental stress. METHODS Primary cultures of endothelial cells (EC) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) exposed to strained conditions were employed for experimental evaluation. After ALN treatment, cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis assays were performed. The participation of signal transduction pathways in the biochemical action of ALN was also assessed. RESULTS In VSMC cultures, ALN counteracted the stimulation of cellular migration elicited by the proinflammatory agent lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or by high levels of calcium and phosphorus (osteogenic medium). Indeed, ALN reduced the increase of VSMC proliferation evoked by the stressors. When LPS and osteogenic medium were added simultaneously, the enhancement of cell proliferation dropped to control values in the presence of ALN. The mechanism of action of ALN involved the participation of nitric oxide synthase, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways. The study revealed that ALN exhibits a proangiogenic action. On EC, ALN enhanced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis, and induced capillary-like tube formation in a VEGF-dependent manner. The presence of vascular stress conditions (LPS or osteogenic medium) did not modify the proangiogenic action elicited by ALN. CONCLUSION The findings presented suggest an extra-bone biological action of ALN, which could contribute to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis avoiding cellular damage elicited by environmental stress.

Abstract
Multiple strategies including the use of bioactive peptides and other nutraceuticals are being adopted to maintain bone health. This study provides an improved and deeper understanding of the pharmacological effects that a bioactive peptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) extends on bone health. Our results showed that IRW treatment protects osteoblasts against Ang II induced decline in cell proliferation and restores protein levels of collagen type I alpha 2 chain (COL1A2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in MC3T3-E1 cells (p < 0.05). Apart from augmentation of these mineralization factors, the angiotensin II (Ang II) induced apoptotic stress in osteoblasts was mitigated by IRW as well. At the molecular level, IRW abolished the cytochrome-c release via modulation of pro-and anti-apoptotic genes in MC3T3-E1 cells (p < 0.05). Interestingly, IRW also increased cellular levels of cytoprotective local RAAS factors such as MasR, Ang (1−7), ACE2, and AT2R, and lowered the levels of Ang II effector receptor (AT1R). Further, our results indicated a lower content of inflammation and osteoclastogenesis biomarkers such as cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) following IRW treatment in MC3T3-E1 cells (p < 0.05). The use of an antagonist-guided cell study indicated that IRW contributed to the process of cytoprotection and proliferation of osteoblasts via Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in face of Ang II stress in an AT2R dependent manner. The key findings of our study showed that IRW could potentially have a therapeutic role in the treatment and/or prevention of bone disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bisphosphonates like alendronate mainly exert their effects on osteoclasts. However, osteoblasts are also affected, but exposed to a much lower concentration in vivo than the osteoclasts. Given that the effects are dose-dependent, the intention of the study was to identify a therapeutically relevant concentration of alendronate for in vitro studies on osteoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary human osteoblasts were incubated with alendronate (5, 20 and 100 µM) for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. Proliferation and viability were assessed, and the effects on cellular growth and function were evaluated by multianalyte profiling of selected proteins in cell culture media using the Luminex 200TM. RESULTS The viability was not affected by any of the dosages. Exposure to 5 µM alendronate had a neutral effect on osteoblast proliferation, and on secretion of osteogenic and inflammatory markers, while enhancing synthesis of a marker of angiogenesis. 20 µM alendronate induced a decline in proliferation and affected angiogenic and osteogenic biomarkers adversely. 100 µM alendronate reduced proliferation dramatically, and this dosage was excluded from further experiments. CONCLUSION A concentration of 5 µM alendronate exerted effects on human osteoblasts that may translate to those observed in vivo and could therefore be relevant for in vitro studies.

Abstract
Fragility fracture is a worldwide problem and a main cause of disability and impaired quality of life. It is primarily caused by osteoporosis, characterized by impaired bone quantity and or quality. Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis is essential for prevention of fragility fractures. Osteoporosis can be primary in postmenopausal women because of estrogen deficiency. Secondary forms of osteoporosis are not uncommon in both men and women. Most systemic illnesses and organ dysfunction can lead to osteoporosis. The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological bone homeostasis by controlling minerals, electrolytes, acid-base, vitamin D and parathyroid function. Chronic kidney disease with its uremic milieu disturbs this balance, leading to renal osteodystrophy. Diabetes mellitus represents the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis. Thyroid and parathyroid disorders can dysregulate the osteoblast/osteoclast functions. Gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition and malabsorption can result in mineral and vitamin D deficiencies and bone loss. Patients with chronic liver disease have a higher risk of fracture due to hepatic osteodystrophy. Proinflammatory cytokines in infectious, autoimmune, and hematological disorders can stimulate osteoclastogenesis, leading to osteoporosis. Moreover, drug-induced osteoporosis is not uncommon. In this review, we focus on causes, pathogenesis, and management of secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most used bone-specific anti-resorptive agents, often chosen as first-line therapy in several bone diseases characterized by an imbalance between osteoblast-mediated bone production and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. BPs target the farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) in osteoclasts, reducing bone resorption. Lately, there has been an increasing interest in BPs direct pro-survival/pro-mineralizing properties in osteoblasts and their pain-relieving effects. Even so, molecular targets involved in these effects appear now largely elusive. Ion channels are emerging players in bone homeostasis. Nevertheless, the effects of BPs on these proteins have been poorly described. Here we reviewed the actions of BPs on ion channels in musculoskeletal cells. In particular, the TRPV1 channel is essential for osteoblastogenesis. Since it is involved in bone pain sensation, TRPV1 is a possible alternative target of BPs. Ion channels are emerging targets and anti-target for bisphosphonates. Zoledronic acid can be the first selective musculoskeletal and vascular KATP channel blocker targeting with high affinity the inward rectifier channels Kir6.1-SUR2B and Kir6.2-SUR2A. The action of this drug against the overactive mutants of KCNJ9-ABCC9 genes observed in the Cantu’ Syndrome (CS) may improve the appropriate prescription in those CS patients affected by musculoskeletal disorders such as bone fracture and bone frailty.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. This process is primarily controlled by the most abundant and mechanosensitive bone cells, osteocytes, that reside individually, within chambers of porous hydroxyapatite bone matrix. Recent studies have unveiled additional functional roles for osteocytes in directly contributing to local matrix regulation as well as systemic roles through endocrine functions by communicating with distant organs such as the kidney. Osteocyte function is governed largely by both biochemical signaling and the mechanical stimuli exerted on bone. Mechanical stimulation is required to maintain bone health whilst aging and reduced level of loading are known to result in bone loss. To date, both in vivo and in vitro approaches have been established to answer important questions such as the effect of mechanical stimuli, the mechanosensors involved, and the mechanosensitive signaling pathways in osteocytes. However, our understanding of osteocyte mechanotransduction has been limited due to the technical challenges of working with these cells since they are individually embedded within the hard hydroxyapatite bone matrix. This review highlights the current knowledge of the osteocyte functional role in maintaining bone health and the key regulatory pathways of these mechanosensitive cells. Finally, we elaborate on the current therapeutic opportunities offered by existing treatments and the potential for targeting osteocyte-directed signaling.

Abstract
Osteocytes, former osteoblasts encapsulated by mineralized bone matrix, are far from being passive and metabolically inactive bone cells. Instead, osteocytes are multifunctional and dynamic cells capable of integrating hormonal and mechanical signals and transmitting them to effector cells in bone and in distant tissues. Osteocytes are a major source of molecules that regulate bone homeostasis by integrating both mechanical cues and hormonal signals that coordinate the differentiation and function of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteocyte function is altered in both rare and common bone diseases, suggesting that osteocyte dysfunction is directly involved in the pathophysiology of several disorders affecting the skeleton. Advances in osteocyte biology initiated the development of novel therapeutics interfering with osteocyte-secreted molecules. Moreover, osteocytes are targets and key distributors of biological signals mediating the beneficial effects of several bone therapeutics used in the clinic. Here we review the most recent discoveries in osteocyte biology demonstrating that osteocytes regulate bone homeostasis and bone marrow fat via paracrine signaling, influence body composition and energy metabolism via endocrine signaling, and contribute to the damaging effects of diabetes mellitus and hematologic and metastatic cancers in the skeleton.

Abstract
Simple Summary Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells and, together with bone-forming osteoblasts, they are responsible for maintaining healthy bones. When cancer cells invade into the bone, however, osteoclasts assist in cancer progression and stimulate bone loss. In this study, we converted the bone-destructive action of osteoclasts by activating their Wnt signaling and generated an osteoclast-derived, bone-protective, tumor-suppressive conditioned medium. The conditioned medium was able to suppress tumor growth and bone loss in a mouse model of mammary tumors and bone metastasis. The described approach is expected to add a novel strategy to treat primary breast cancer as well as bone metastasis. Abstract Osteoclasts are a driver of a vicious bone-destructive cycle with breast cancer cells. Here, we examined whether this vicious cycle can be altered into a beneficial one by activating Wnt signaling with its activating agent, BML284. The conditioned medium, derived from Wnt-activated RAW264.7 pre-osteoclast cells (BM CM), reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of EO771 mammary tumor cells. The same inhibitory effect was obtained with BML284-treated primary human macrophages. In a mouse model, BM CM reduced the progression of mammary tumors and tumor-induced osteolysis and suppressed the tumor invasion to the lung. It also inhibited the differentiation of RANKL-stimulated osteoclasts and enhanced osteoblast differentiation. BM CM was enriched with atypical tumor-suppressing proteins such as Hsp90ab1 and enolase 1 (Eno1). Immunoprecipitation revealed that extracellular Hsp90ab1 interacted with latent TGFβ (LAP-TGFβ) as an inhibitor of TGFβ activation, while Hsp90ab1 and Eno1 interacted and suppressed tumor progression via CD44, a cell-adhesion receptor and a cancer stem cell marker. This study demonstrated that osteoclast-derived CM can be converted into a bone-protective, tumor-suppressing agent by activating Wnt signaling. The results shed a novel insight on the unexplored function of osteoclasts as a potential bone protector that may develop an unconventional strategy to combat bone metastasis.

Abstract
The treatment of bone diseases (including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone cancer) often results in reduced efficiency and/or adverse reactions due to the fact that it is not specifically targeted to the site of action. The employment of a suitable carrier should increase drug location to the site of bone disease. The purpose of this study is to prepare and characterize lipid nanoparticles (NPs) coated with calcium phosphate (CaP-NPs). A coating method, to date used only to obtain liposomes covered with CaP, is herein partially-modified to prepare CaP-coated lipid NPs. An extensive physico-chemical characterization was achieved by employing several techniques (DLS, SEM and TEM, and both combined with EDS, XRD, and FTIR) that confirmed the feasibility of the developed coating method. Preliminary uptake studies on human osteosarcoma cells (U-2OS) were performed by entrapping, as a lipid probe, Sudan Red III in NPs. The obtained data provided evidence that CaP-NPs showed higher cell accumulation than uncoated NPs. This result may have important implications for the development of drug loaded CaP-NPs to be tested in vitro with a view of planning future treatment of bone diseases, and indicate that CaP-NPs are potential vehicles for selective drug delivery to bone tissue.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are major anti-bone-resorptive drugs. Among them, the nitrogen-containing BPs (NBPs) exhibit much stronger anti-bone-resorptive activities than non-nitrogen-containing BPs (non-NBPs). However, BP-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) has been increasing without effective strategies for its prevention or treatment. The release of NBPs (but not non-NBPs) from NBP-accumulated jawbones has been supposed to cause BRONJ, even though non-NBPs (such as etidronate (Eti) and clodronate (Clo)) are given at very high doses because of their low anti-bone-resorptive activities. Our murine experiments have demonstrated that NBPs cause inflammation/necrosis at the injection site, and that Eti and Clo can reduce or prevent the inflammatory/necrotic effects of NBPs by inhibiting their entry into soft-tissue cells. In addition, our preliminary clinical studies suggest that Eti may be useful for treating BRONJ. Notably, Eti, when administered together with an NBP, reduces the latter's anti-bone-resorptive effect. Here, on the basis of the above background, we examined and compared in vitro interactions of NBPs, non-NBPs, and related substances with hydroxyapatite (HA), and obtained the following results. (i) NBPs bind rapidly to HA under pH-neutral conditions. (ii) At high concentrations, Eti and Clo inhibit NBP-binding to HA and rapidly expel HA-bound NBPs (potency Eti>>Clo). (iii) Pyrophosphate also inhibits NBP-binding to HA and expels HA-bound NBPs. Based on these results and those reported previously, we discuss (i) possible anti-BRONJ strategies involving the use of Eti and/or Clo to reduce jawbone-accumulated NBPs, and (ii) a possible involvement of pyrophosphate-mediated release of NBPs as a cause of BRONJ.

Abstract
Novel multifunctional biomimetic injectable hybrid systems were synthesized. The physicochemical as well as biological in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated that they are promising candidates for bone tissue regeneration. The hybrids are composed of a biopolymeric collagen/chitosan/hyaluronic acid matrix and amine group-functionalized silica particles decorated with apatite to which the alendronate molecules were coordinated. The components of these systems were integrated and stabilized by cross-linking with genipin, a compound of natural origin. They can be precisely injected into the diseased tissue in the form of a viscous sol or a partially cross-linked hydrogel, where they can serve as scaffolds for locally controlled bone tissue regeneration/remodeling by supporting the osteoblast formation/proliferation and maintaining the optimal osteoclast level. These materials lack systemic toxicity. They can be particularly useful for the repair of small osteoporotic bone defects.

Core Decompression with Local Administration of Zoledronate and Enriched Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells for Treatment of Non-Traumatic Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head. Orthop Surg 2021; 13:1843-1852.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of core decompression (CD) with local administration of zoledronate and enriched bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCS) for the treatment of non‐traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Methods A total of 17 patients (30 hips) diagnosed with stage II and III ONFH according to the 2019 revised Association for Research on Osseous Circulation (ARCO) staging criteria from 2012 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients received the following therapy: the BMMCs and zoledronate were injected into the necrotic zone, respectively, along with CD. The mean age of the patients was 36.8 years; 14 were men and three were women. All patients included had non‐traumatic ONFH and a minimum follow‐up of 5 years, which ended when total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed. Imaging modalities, including plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were taken pre‐ and postoperatively. Harris hip score (HHS) was used to evaluate the functional outcomes of femoral head necrosis. Kaplan–Meier analysis was adopted to determine the probability of survivorship with THA as the end point in this series of patients. The correlation between radiological progression or THA and related risk factors were further analyzed. All complications were recorded. Results With THA as the follow‐up endpoint, All patients were followed up for an average of 69.1 ± 20.5 months (range, 18–95 months). Preoperative imaging found six hips (20%) at ARCO stage II, 14 hips (46.7%) at stage IIIA, 10 hips (33.3%) at stage IIIB. Fourteen hips (46.7%) shown progression radiologically, while six hips (20%) underwent TKA among these patients with hip preservation. The cumulative survival was 80% (95% CI, 0.608–905) at 5 years with THA as the end point. HHS improved from 63.3 ± 8.7 preoperatively to 74.6 ± 20.6 postoperatively (P = 0.000). Radiological progression was found to be associated with ARCO stage, Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) type, and corticosteroid exposure (P = 0.047; P = 0.012; P = 0.031). However, no correlation was found between conversion to THA and the known risk factors. No major complication was reported, with only four patients complaining about general weakness and muscle soreness, and all disappeared within 2–3 days. Conclusions The novel treatment modality could relieve pain, delay the progression of collapse, which might be an effective and safe method for hip preservation of early and mid‐term ONFH. However, the effect of this method may be related to ARCO stage, JIC type, and corticosteroid exposure.

Abstract
Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is a rare and intriguing primary bone neoplasm. Worrisome clinical features are its local destructive behaviour, its high tendency to recur after surgical therapy and its ability to create so-called benign lung metastases (lung 'plugs'). GCTB displays a complex and difficult-to-understand cell biological behaviour because of its heterogenous morphology. Recently, a driver mutation in histone H3.3 was found. This mutation is highly conserved in GCTB but can also be detected in glioblastoma. Denosumab was recently introduced as an extra option of medical treatment next to traditional surgical and in rare cases, radiotherapy. Despite these new insights, many 'old' questions about the key features of GCTB remain unanswered, such as the presence of telomeric associations (TAs), the reactivation of hTERT, and its slight genomic instability. This review summarises the recent relevant literature of histone H3.3 in relation to the GCTB-specific G34W mutation and pays specific attention to the G34W mutation in relation to the development of TAs, genomic instability, and the characteristic morphology of GCTB. As pieces of an etiogenetic puzzle, this review tries fitting all these molecular features and the unique H3.3 G34W mutation together in GCTB.

Abstract
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, or its most severe form, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, is an autoinflammatory bone disease that causes skeletal inflammation characterized by bone pain and swelling that primarily affects children. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and its clinical presentation may mimic underlying infectious processes and malignancy. Clinical suspicion for this diagnosis and timely referral to pediatric rheumatology is crucial to achieve earlier diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved quality of life of affected patients and families. This article focuses on recent insights into the pathogenesis of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis and outlines recent advances and ongoing research.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) matrices scaffolds play a noteworthy role in promoting cell generation and propagation. In this study, scaffolds prepared from chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol loaded with/without an osteoporotic drug (risedronate) and nano-bioactive glass (nBG) have been developed to promote healing of bone defects. The scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), porosity test as well as mechanical strength. The pattern of drug release and ability to promote the proliferation of Saos-2osteosarcoma cells had also been reported. Osteogenic potential of the scaffolds was evaluated by testing their effect on healing critical-sized dog's mandibular bone defects. Increasing chitosan and nBG in the porous scaffolds induced decrease in drug release, increased the scaffold's strength and supported their cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, as well as increased calcium deposition. Histological and histomorphometric results demonstrated newly formed bone trabeculae inside critical-sized mandibular defects when treated with scaffolds. Trabecular thickness, bone volume/tissue volume and the percentage of mature collagen fibers increased in groups treated with scaffolds loaded with 10% nBG and risedronate or loaded with 30% nBG with/without risedronate compared with those treated with non-loaded scaffolds and empty control groups. These findings confirmed the potential osteogenic activity of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol-based scaffolds loaded with risedronate and nBG.

Abstract
Objectives: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are powerful inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis and are used to prevent osteoporotic bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. Patients with breast cancer or gynecological malignancies being treated with BPs or those receiving bone-targeted therapy for metastatic prostate cancer are at increased risk of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Although BPs markedly ameliorate osteoporosis, their adverse effects largely limit the clinical application of these drugs. This study focused on providing a deeper understanding of one of the most popular BPs, the alendronate (ALN)-induced perturbation of the bone proteome and microenvironmental pathophysiology. Methods: To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying ALN-induced side-effects, an unbiased and global proteomics approach combined with big data bioinformatics was applied. This was followed by biochemical and functional analyses to determine the clinicopathological mechanisms affected by ALN. Results: The findings from this proteomics study suggest that the RIPK3/Wnt/GSK3/β-catenin signaling pathway is significantly perturbed upon ALN treatment, resulting in abnormal angiogenesis, inflammation, anabolism, remodeling, and mineralization in bone cells in an in vitro cell culture system. Conclusion: Our investigation into potential key signaling mechanisms in response to ALN provides a rational basis for suppressing BP-induced adverse effect and presents various therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder and nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (BP) are a first line treatment for it. Yet, atypical femoral fractures (AFF), a rare adverse effect, may appear after prolonged BP administration. Given the low incidence of AFF, an underlying genetic cause that increases the susceptibility to these fractures is suspected. Previous studies uncovered rare CYP1A1 mutations in osteoporosis patients who suffered AFF after long-term BP treatment. CYP1A1 is involved in drug metabolism and steroid catabolism, making it an interesting candidate. However, a functional validation for the AFF-associated CYP1A1 mutations was lacking. Here we tested the enzymatic activity of four such CYP1A1 variants, by transfecting them into Saos-2 cells. We also tested the effect of commonly used BPs on the enzymatic activity of the CYP1A1 forms. We demonstrated that the p.Arg98Trp and p.Arg136His CYP1A1 variants have a significant negative effect on enzymatic activity. Moreover, all the BP treatments decreased CYP1A1 activity, although no specific interaction with CYP1A1 variants was found. Our results provide functional support to the hypothesis that an additive effect between CYP1A1 heterozygous mutations p.Arg98Trp and p.Arg136His, other rare mutations and long-term BP exposure might generate susceptibility to AFF.

Abstract
The importance of miRNA prognostic signature in cancer, particular cancer metastasis is increasingly being realized. Bone metastasis from several primary human cancers can be managed in clinics by surgical intervention but the prognostic impact of miRNA signature on post-surgery outcome of patients is unknown. This study evaluated a miRNA signature for post-operative outcome of patients with bone metastatic disease. First, the miRNAs, miR-135, miR-203, miR-10b, miR-194, miR-886, and miR-124 were evaluated in bone metastatic tissues, relative to adjacent control tissue. The cohorts of samples (n = 44) consisted of bone metastatic cancer patients with primary lung (n = 18) or breast cancer (n = 26). miR-203 was significantly down-regulated while miR-10b was significantly up-regulated in bone metastasis. Additionally, miR-135 was significantly differentially expressed in the primary lung cancer patients while miR-194 in primary breast cancer patients. The low miR-203- high miR-10b expression was designated high risk group and, compared to the low risk group (high miR-203-low miR-10b expression). Patients with the signature high risk fared significantly better with surgical intervention, in terms of survival at 12 months time point (40% survival with surgery vs. 10% survival without surgery), as revealed by retrospective analysis of patient data. This work reveals potential utilization of miRNA expression levels in not only the general prognosis of cancer metastasis but also the prognosis of surgical intervention with implication for better stratification of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a pathology condition of jaw bone caused by a side effect of medications prescribed for skeletal disease. The mechanism of MRONJ is still unknown now. Osteoclasts are cells directly influenced by the medication and the modification in cells metabolisms by the drugs lead to MRONJ. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the osteoclasts morphology, quantity, and comparing with other necrotic diseases. METHODS Thirty-eight (38) subjects, including cases with MRONJ (n = 11), osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (n = 9), osteomyelitis of the jaw (n = 9), and normal jaw bone (n = 9), were studied. Hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained slides of these diagnosed cases were used to evaluate osteoclasts' characteristics. Immunohistochemistry of TRAP was performed to observed the function of osteoclasts. These characteristics of osteoclasts were also evaluated in the relationship with the histological features using regression analysis. RESULTS The results showed that osteoclasts in MRONJ enhance activity by increasing the size and the quantity (p < 0.05). The presence of osteoblasts, inflammatory cells, and bacterial colonies showed a strong correlation with the change in morphology and the number of osteoclasts (p < 0.05). However, the TRAP-positive mean number and the TRAP intensity of osteoclasts in MRONJ did not show a significant difference with those in other groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In conclusion, osteoclasts in MRONJ increase the number and become bigger with multi-nuclei which might relate to the presence of osteoblasts, inflammation, and microorganisms. This finding supports the idea osteoclasts might be the main key to investigate MRONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Zoledronic Acid (ZA) is one of the common treatment choices used in various boneassociated conditions. Also, many studies have investigated the effect of ZA on Osteoblastic-Differentiation (OSD) of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), but its clear molecular mechanism(s) has remained to be understood. It seems that the methylation of the promoter region of key genes might be an important factor involved in the regulation of genes responsible for OSD. The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in the mRNA expression and promoter methylation of central Transcription Factors (TFs) during OSD of MSCs under treatment with ZA. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs were induced to be differentiated into the osteoblastic cell lineage using routine protocols. MSCs received ZA during OSD and then the methylation and mRNA expression levels of target genes were measured by Methylation Specific-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (MS-qPCR) and real-time PCR, respectively. The osteoblastic differentiation was confirmed by Alizarin Red Staining and the related markers to this stage. RESULTS Gene expression and promoter methylation level for DLX3, FRA1, ATF4, MSX2, C/EBPζ, and C/EBPa were up or down-regulated in both ZA-treated and untreated cells during the osteodifferentiation process on days 0 to 21. ATF4, DLX3, and FRA1 genes were significantly up-regulated during the OSD processes, while the result for MSX2, C/EBPζ, and C/EBPa was reverse. On the other hand, ATF4 and DLX3 methylation levels gradually reduced in both ZA-treated and untreated cells during the osteodifferentiation process on days 0 to 21, while the pattern was increasing for MSX2 and C/EBPa. The methylation pattern of C/EBPζ was upward in untreated groups while it had a downward pattern in ZA-treated groups at the same scheduled time. The result for FRA1 was not significant in both groups at the same scheduled time (days 0-21). CONCLUSION The results indicated that promoter-hypomethylation of ATF4, DLX3, and FRA1 genes might be one of the mechanism(s) controlling their gene expression. Moreover, we found that promoter-hypermethylation led to the down-regulation of MSX2, C/EBP-ζ and C/EBP-α. The results implicate that ATF4, DLX3 and FRA1 may act as inducers of OSD while MSX2, C/EBP-ζ and C/EBP-α could act as the inhibitor ones. We also determined that promoter-methylation is an important process in the regulation of OSD. However, yet there was no significant difference in the promoter-methylation level of selected TFs in ZA-treated and control cells, a methylation- independent pathway might be involved in the regulation of target genes during OSD of MSCs.

Abstract
Aging induces changes in bone. Growth hormone (GH) is reduced by aging, and age-related changes observed in old bones might be due to a decrease in the GH/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis. GH administration on aged individuals is controversial. This study aimed to assess the effect of systemic GH treatment on bone properties, bone metabolism, and bone mineral density (BMD) in long bone of old rats. Aged Wistar rats were treated with GH at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day during 10 weeks. Plasma osteocalcin, IGF-I, and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen levels were measured. Cross-sectional bone areas and BMD were measured by morphometric and densitometric analysis, respectively. Femora were analyzed by three point-bending testing. t-Test was used for statistical evaluation. p < 0.05 was considered to be significant. Significantly enhanced bone area, at the expense of the cortical area, was found in treated rats. The densitometric analysis showed 11% higher BMD in the experimental group. Significantly higher bone flexural modulus, stiffness, and ultimate load were observed in the treated rats. Plasma osteocalcin and IGF-I levels were significantly increased in the treated group, while the resorption marker concentration remained unchanged. Within the limitations of this experimental study, systemic GH administration has shown to enhance biomechanical properties, BMD, cortical mass, and plasma IGF-I and osteocalcin in old treated rats, compared to the control group; consequently, GH could be considered as an alternative therapy against age-related changes in the bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal of this manuscript is to review the current knowledge on the role of osteocytes in cancer in the bone, discuss the potential of osteocytes as a therapeutic target, and propose future research needed to understand the crosstalk between cancer cells and osteocytes in the tumor niche. RECENT FINDINGS Numerous studies have established that cancer cells manipulate osteocytes to facilitate invasion and tumor progression in bone. Moreover, cancer cells dysregulate osteocyte function to disrupt physiological bone remodeling, leading to the development of bone disease. Targeting osteocytes and their derived factors has proven to effectively interfere with the progression of cancer in the bone and the associated bone disease. Osteocytes communicate with cancer cells and are also part of the vicious cycle of cancer in the bone. Additional studies investigating the role of osteocytes on metastases to the bone and the development of drug resistance are needed.

Abstract
Dentoalveolar surgery is probably the major risk factor for MRONJ and for other complications following a tooth extraction, especially in patients affected by systemic diseases. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate whether a PRF plug inserted in the post extraction socket can prevent the onset of MRONJ. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical protocol that included the insertion or not of the PRF following the extraction and all the anamnestic, and clinical data were analyzed. In the control group, 5 patients developed MRONJ (19.23%) while in the study group, any case of MRONJ was reported. In the control group, patients who developed MRONJ had a CTX with less than 100 pg/mL (5 high-risk patients, Spearman's rank r = .547, p < .001). The use of platelet concentrates in patients with high risk of MRONJ is a user-friendly technique with an excellent cost-benefit ratio in oral surgery.

Zoledronic Acid Enhanced the Antitumor Effect of Cisplatin on Orthotopic Osteosarcoma by ROS-PI3K/AKT Signaling and Attenuated Osteolysis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6661534.

Abstract
Osteoclasts can interact with osteosarcoma to promote the growth of osteosarcoma. Cisplatin is common in adjuvant chemotherapy of osteosarcoma. However, due to chemoresistance, the efficacy is profoundly limited. Previous studies have found that zoledronic acid (ZA) has osteoclast activation inhibition and antitumor effect. However, the combined effect of ZA and cisplatin on osteosarcoma remains unclear. In vitro, the effects of ZA and cisplatin alone or in combination on 143B cell activity, proliferation, apoptosis, and ROS-PI3K/AKT signaling were detected. At the same time, the effect of ZA and cisplatin on osteoclast formation, survival, and activity was detected by TRAP staining and bone plate absorption test. These were further verified in mice. The results showed that in vitro, compared with the single treatment and control, the combination of ZA and cisplatin could significantly inhibit the activity and proliferation of 143B cells and induced their apoptosis and further promoted the generation of ROS and inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. ROS scavenger and the agonist of the PI3K/AKT pathway could reverse these results. In addition, cisplatin in synergy with ZA could significantly inhibit osteoclast formation and survival to reduce bone plate absorption. In vivo, compared with the single group, the tumor volume and cell proliferation were significantly reduced, apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells increased, and TRAP+ osteoclasts and osteolysis destruction decreased in the combined group. In conclusion, ZA enhanced the antitumor effect of cisplatin on osteosarcoma by ROS-PI3K/AKT signaling, reducing the chemoresistance and osteoclast activation to enhance chemotherapy and inhibit osteolysis. And this present study raised the possibility that combining ZA and cisplatin may represent a novel strategy against osteosarcoma.

A Bisphosphonate With a Low Hydroxyapatite Binding Affinity Prevents Bone Loss in Mice After Ovariectomy and Reverses Rapidly With Treatment Cessation. JBMR Plus 2021; 5:e10476.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a mainstay of osteoporosis treatment; however, concerns about bone health based on oversuppression of remodeling remain. Long‐term bone remodeling suppression adversely affects bone material properties with microdamage accumulation and reduced fracture toughness in animals and increases in matrix mineralization and atypical femur fractures in patients. Although a “drug holiday” from BPs to restore remodeling and improve bone quality seems reasonable, clinical BPs have long functional half‐lives because of their high hydroxyapatite (HAP) binding affinities. This places a practical limit on the reversibility and effectiveness of a drug holiday. BPs with low HAP affinity and strong osteoclast inhibition potentially offer an alternative approach; their antiresorptive effect should reverse rapidly when dosing is discontinued. This study tested this concept using NE‐58025, a BP with low HAP affinity and moderate osteoclast inhibition potential. Young adult female C57Bl/6 mice were ovariectomized (OVX) and treated with NE‐58025, risedronate, or PBS vehicle for 3 months to test effectiveness in preventing long‐term bone loss. Bone microarchitecture, histomorphometry, and whole‐bone mechanical properties were assessed. To test reversibility, OVX mice were similarly treated for 3 months, treatment was stopped, and bone was assessed up to 3 months post‐treatment. NE‐58025 and RIS inhibited long‐term OVX‐induced bone loss, but NE‐58025 antiresorptive effects were more pronounced. Withdrawing NE‐58025 treatment led to the rapid onset of trabecular resorption with a 200% increase in osteoclast surface and bone loss within 1 month. Cessation of risedronate treatment did not lead to increases in resorption indices or bone loss. These results show that NE‐58025 prevents OVX‐induced bone loss, and its effects reverse quickly following cessation treatment in vivo. Low‐HAP affinity BPs may have use as reversible, antiresorptive agents with a rapid on/off profile, which may be useful for maintaining bone health with long‐term BP treatment. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Expression of signaling proteins in bone cells depends on their embryological mesoderm-derived (e.g. tibia) or cranial neural crest (CNC)-derived (e.g. jaw) origin. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a gap junction protein that plays an essential role in the mode of action of bisphosphonates (BP). This study aimed to investigate Cx43 expression and the influence of BP application on mesoderm- and CNC-derived bone. Using a rat model, molar extraction and tibia osteotomy with (Group 4) or without (Group 3) previous BP application was performed. Untreated (Group 1) and animals selectively treated with BPs (Group 2) served as controls. Cx43 expression was immunohistochemically determined 12 and 16 weeks postoperatively via a labeling index. Cx43 expression in CNC-derived bone was significantly higher compared with mesodermal bone. BP application decreased Cx43 expression; however, detected expression levels were still higher in jawbone (Group 2 tibia vs jaw: 5.83 ± 5.06 vs 23.52 ± 6.42; p = 0.007). During bone healing after surgical intervention (Group 3) there were no expression differences between tibia and jawbone. BP treatment prior to surgery resulted in significantly lower Cx43 expression in CNC-derived compared with tibia bone (Group 4 tibia vs jaw: 56.84 ± 15.57 vs 16.40 ± 5.66; p < 0.01). Increased Cx43 expression in jaw compared with tibia bone is in line with their embryological origins. A significant Cx43 suppression in jawbone after BP application and surgery might contribute to the selectively altered osseous turnover and development of MRONJ in CNC-derived bone.

Hassan H, Othman MF, Razak HRA. 18F-labeled bisphosphonate as an alternative candidate to the gold standard [18F]sodium fluoride ([18F]NaF) for PET bone imaging. Curr Med Imaging 2021; 17:1271-1275. [PMID: 33593263 DOI: 10.2174/1573405617666210216091202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Bone metastases are a common source of malignancy in the skeleton and occur much more often than primary bone cancer. Several works were ongoing to identify early markers for bone metastasis and novel drug targets to improve patients' quality of life. As some concerns exist with the [18F]sodium fluoride in positron emission tomography (PET) bone imaging, there has been an increase in the number of targeted radiopharmaceutical markers for bone metastases imaging in its competitor, 68Ga. Since 18F properties are superior to those of 68Ga, there is a distinct motivation for developing 18F radiopharmaceuticals for bone metastases imaging.

Effects of Bisphosphonates on Osseointegration of Dental Implants in Rabbit Model. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6689564. [PMID: 33628807 PMCID: PMC7895577 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6689564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
This study is to investigate the effect of bisphosphonates on the osseointegration of dental implants in a rabbit model. Twenty female New Zealand White rabbits were equally assigned into control and experiment groups which received saline or zoledronic acid treatment 4 weeks prior to surgery. Titanium dental implant was placed on the calvarial bone. Zoledronic acid or saline treatment continued after surgery for 4 weeks (short-term subgroup) or 8 weeks (long-term subgroup) until sacrifice. Three different fluorochrome labeling solutions were administrated for assessing bone growth rates. Samples of the calvarial bone and mandible were subjected to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), confocal microscope, and histology analysis. Zoledronic acid treatment significantly reduced bone growth rates in the calvarial bone, but had no significant influence in bone mineral density and trabecular microarchitecture. Significantly lower bone-to-implant contact ratios were found in zoledronic acid-treated animals compared to controls at week 4 but not at week 8. Oncologic dose zoledronic acid suppresses the bone growth rates of the calvarial bone; ZA may have an adverse effect on osseointegration of dental implant in short term, but this effect tends to diminish in long term.

Hildebrand S, Cunningham J. Is there a role for bisphosphonates in vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease? Bone 2021; 142:115751. [PMID: 33188959 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Revised: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Theoretically bisphosphonates could accelerate or retard vascular calcification. In subjects with low GFR, the position is further confounded by a combination of uncertain pharmacokinetics (GI absorption is poor and inconsistent at all levels of renal function and the effect of low GFR generally is to increase bioavailability) and a highly variable skeletal substrate with extremes of turnover that increase unpredictably further. Although bisphosphonates reduce bone formation by 70-90% in subjects with normal GFR and reduce the ability of bone to buffer exogenous calcium fluxes, in bisphosphonate treated postmenopausal women accelerated vascular calcification has not been documented. The kidneys assist with this buffering, but the capacity to modulate calcium excretion declines as GFR falls, increasing the risk of hypercalcaemia in the event of high calcium influx. In the ESRD patient, decreased buffering capacity substantially increases the risk of transient hypercalcaemia, especially in the setting of dialysis, and as such may promote vascular calcification which is highly prevalent in the CKD population. Low bone turnover may thus be less of a vascular problem in patients with preserved renal function and a bigger problem when the GFR is low. In patients with stage 4 and 5 CKD, adynamic bone disease associates with the severity and progression of arterial calcification, including coronary artery calcification, and further suppression of bone turnover by a bisphosphonate might exacerbate an already high predisposition to vascular calcification. No convincing signal of harm has emerged from clinical studies thus far. For example 51 individuals with CKD stage 3-4 treated with either alendronate 70 mg per week or placebo for 18 months showed no difference in the rate of vascular calcifications. Conversely an observational study of women with stage 3-4 CKD with pre-existing cardiovascular disease found an increased risk of mortality with a hazard ratio of 1.22 (1.04-1.42) in those given bisphosphonates. Direct suppression of vascular calcification by bisphosphonates is probably confined to etidronate - treatment of soft tissue calcification was a recognized indication for this drug and etidronate markedly reduced progression of vascular calcification in CKD patients. Bisphosphonates are analogues of pyrophosphate, a potent calcification inhibitor in bone and soft tissue. Thus the efficacy of etidronate as treatment for soft tissue calcification brought with it a problematic tendency to cause osteomalacia. In contrast, conventional doses of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates fail to yield circulating concentrations sufficient to exert direct anti-calcifying effects, at least in patients with good renal function and studies using alendronate and ibandronate have yielded inconsistent vascular outcomes.

Abstract
Co-culture models have become mandatory for obtaining better insights into bone homeostasis, which relies on the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Cigarette smoking (CS) has been proven to increase the risk of osteoporosis; however, there is currently no proven treatment for osteoporosis in smokers excluding cessation. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are classical anti-osteoclastic drugs that are commonly used in examining the suitability of bone co-culture systems in vitro as well as to verify the response to osteoporotic stimuli. In the present study, we tested the effects of BPs on cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-affected cells in the co-culture of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Our results showed that BPs were able to reduce CSE-induced osteoporotic alterations in the co-culture of osteoblasts and osteoclasts such as decreased matrix remodeling, enhanced osteoclast activation, and an up-regulated receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kB-ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio. In summary, BPs may be an effective alternative therapy for reversing osteoporotic alterations in smokers, and the potential mechanism is through modulation of the RANKL/OPG ratio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tibial fractures cause ~3% of racehorse deaths. Pre-existing stress fractures have been associated with multiple racing and training fractures, but not complete tibial fractures. OBJECTIVES To describe racehorse tibial fractures and compare signalment and exercise histories of affected and control racehorses. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of necropsy reports. METHODS Racehorses that had a complete tibial fracture (1990-2018) were retrospectively reviewed. Signalment and exercise histories of affected horses were compared to 1) racehorses that died because of non-tibial musculoskeletal injuries or 2) non-musculoskeletal cause and 3) age, sex, event-matched control racehorses. Tibial fracture prevalence was described relative to California racehorses that had at least one official work or race. Age, sex and limb distributions were compared between affected and control horses (Chi-square, Fisher's Exact test). Exercise history data were reduced to counts and rates of official high speed works, races and layups (periods without an official high speed work or race >60 days). Variables were compared among groups using matched logistic regression (P ≤ .05). RESULTS Tibial fractures in 115 horses (97% unilateral; 50% left, 47% right) occurred most commonly during training (68%) and in 2- to 3-year-old horses (73%). Fractures were predominantly comminuted (93%), diaphyseal (44%) and oblique (40%). Of 61 cases examined for callus, 64% had periosteal callus associated with fracture, most commonly in proximal (65%) and distal diaphyseal (27%) locations. Of 28 racehorses with known exercise history, 57% never raced and 36% had a layup. Affected horses had fewer official-timed works and events (official high speed works and races), number of active days and accumulated less distance in events and works (P < .05) than control horses. MAIN LIMITATIONS Retrospective review of necropsy reports by multiple pathologists over 28 years. CONCLUSIONS Tibial fractures were associated with pre-existing stress fracture early in career. Most fractures were associated with proximolateral stress fractures.

Abstract
Osteocytes are an ancient cell, appearing in fossilized skeletal remains of early fish and dinosaurs. Despite its relative high abundance, even in the context of nonskeletal cells, the osteocyte is perhaps among the least studied cells in all of vertebrate biology. Osteocytes are cells embedded in bone, able to modify their surrounding extracellular matrix via specialized molecular remodeling mechanisms that are independent of the bone forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Osteocytes communicate with osteoclasts and osteoblasts via distinct signaling molecules that include the RankL/OPG axis and the Sost/Dkk1/Wnt axis, among others. Osteocytes also extend their influence beyond the local bone environment by functioning as an endocrine cell that controls phosphate reabsorption in the kidney, insulin secretion in the pancreas, and skeletal muscle function. These cells are also finely tuned sensors of mechanical stimulation to coordinate with effector cells to adjust bone mass, size, and shape to conform to mechanical demands.

Abstract
Osteoporosis in children differs from adults in terms of definition, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment options. Primary osteoporosis comprises primarily of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), but there are significant other causes of bone fragility in children that require treatment. Secondary osteoporosis can be a result of muscle disuse, iatrogenic causes, such as steroids, chronic inflammation, delayed or arrested puberty and thalassaemia major. Investigations involve bone biochemistry, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan for bone densitometry and vertebral fracture assessment, radiographic assessment of the spine and, in some cases, quantitative computed tomography (QCT) or peripheral QCT. It is important that bone mineral density (BMD) results are adjusted based on age, gender and height, in order to reflect size corrections in children. Genetics are being used increasingly for the diagnosis and classification of various cases of primary osteoporosis. Bone turnover markers are used less frequently in children, but can be helpful in monitoring treatment and transiliac bone biopsy can assist in the diagnosis of atypical cases of osteoporosis. The management of children with osteoporosis requires a multidisciplinary team of health professionals with expertise in paediatric bone disease. The prevention and treatment of fragility fractures and improvement of the quality of life of patients are important aims of a specialised service. The drugs used most commonly in children are bisphosphonates, that, with timely treatment, can give good results in improving BMD and reshaping vertebral fractures. The data regarding their effect on reducing long bone fractures are equivocal. Denosumab is being used increasingly for various conditions with mixed results. There are more drugs trialled in adults, but these are not yet licenced for children. Increasing awareness of risk factors for paediatric osteoporosis, screening and referral to a specialist team for appropriate management can lead to early detection and treatment of asymptomatic fractures and prevention of further bone damage.

Abstract
Background: Several analytical models have been developed in the past to analyze the specific role of osteocytes in the process of bone remodeling, which can be considered as the response of bone material to functional requirements. Most of them considered both the number of osteocytes and their spatial distribution in one area of influence, while others suggested in addition to include considerations of the size of the basic multi-cellular unit. Methods: Taking advantage of previous works, the standard model equation is revisited by incorporating two complementary parameters: (a) the possibility of resorption of osteocytes, apoptosis or function inhibition during remodeling process triggered by the transduction phase of osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix and; (b) the interference of influence zones for the same osteocyte. Results: Bone density evolution has been calculated starting with a medical imaging of an implanted femur. It is shown that the management of interference zone and the possibility of resorption or inhibition of osteocytes have a direct impact upon the value of the mechanical stimulus and hence on the recruitment of Bone Multicellular Units (BMUs). From a mathematical point of view, this effect has been considered by modifying mechanical stimulus of the standard model such that it is impacted by a scalar factor ranged in the interval (0.5–1). Conclusion: It is clearly demonstrated that predicted of the added bone mass amount shows that the new model is more active in low density regions where requiring rapid adaptation to the behavior of the implant, and that the standard model takes the lead in the regions with high density.

Abstract
Skeleton formation and its proper functioning is possible thanks to specialized bone tissue
cells: bone forming osteoblasts, bone resorbing osteoclasts and osteocytes located in bone
cavities.
Gap junctions are transmembrane channels connecting neighboring cell. Thanks to gap junctions
it is possible for signals to be directly transmitted by cells. Gap junction type channels,
and more specifically the connexin proteins that build them, have a key impacton the bone
turnover process, and thus on both bone building and remodeling. A particularly important
connexin in bone tissue is connexin43 (Cx43), which is necessary in the proper course of the
bone formation process and in maintaining bone homeostasis.
The importance of the presence of Cx43 in bones is showed by skeletal defects in diseases
such as ODD syndrome and craniometaphyseal dysplasia caused by mutations in GJA1, the
gene encoding Cx43. The role of Cx43 in the differentiation of stem cells into bone cells,
anti-apoptotic action of bisphosphonates and bone responses to hormonal and mechanical
stimuli have also been demonstrated. In addition to connexin43, the presence of other connexins
such as connexin45, 46 and 37 was also noted in bone tissue.
