Wu Z, Duan S, Li M, Zhang A, Yang H, Luo J, Cheng R, Hu T. Autophagy regulates bone loss via the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis in an experimental rat apical periodontitis model. Int Endod J 2024; 57:1315-1325. [PMID: 38923421 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14103] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM Autophagy is involved in human apical periodontitis (AP). However, it is not clear whether autophagy is protective or destructive in bone loss via the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)/RANK/osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of autophagy via the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis during the development of AP in an experimental rat model. METHODOLOGY Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, experimental AP (EAP) + saline, and EAP + 3-methyladenine (An autophagy inhibitor, 3-MA) groups. The control group did not receive any treatment. The EAP + saline group and the EAP + 3-MA group received intraperitoneal injections of saline and 3-MA, respectively, starting 1 week after the pulp was exposed. Specimens were collected for microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scanning, histological processing, and immunostaining to examine the expression of light chain 3 beta (LC3B), RANK, RANKL, and OPG. Data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (p < .05). RESULTS Micro-CT showed greater bone loss in the EAP + 3-MA group than in the EAP + saline group, indicated by an elevated trabecular space (Tb.Sp) (p < .05). Inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the EAP + saline and EAP + 3-MA groups. Compared with EAP + saline group, the EAP + 3-MA group showed weaker expression of LC3B (p < .01) and OPG (p < .05), more intense expression of RANK (p < .01) and RANKL (p < .01), and a higher RANKL/OPG ratio (p < .05). CONCLUSION Autophagy may exert a protective effect against AP by regulating the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis, thereby inhibiting excessive bone loss.

Abstract
Syndecan 4 (SDC4), a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan, is known to regulate matrix catabolism by nucleus pulposus cells in an inflammatory milieu. However, the role of SDC4 in the aging spine has never been explored. Here we analyzed the spinal phenotype of Sdc4 global knockout (KO) mice as a function of age. Micro-computed tomography showed that Sdc4 deletion severely reduced vertebral trabecular and cortical bone mass, and biomechanical properties of vertebrae were significantly altered in Sdc4 KO mice. These changes in vertebral bone were likely due to elevated osteoclastic activity. The histological assessment showed subtle phenotypic changes in the intervertebral disc. Imaging-Fourier transform-infrared analyses showed a reduced relative ratio of mature collagen crosslinks in young adult nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) of KO compared to wildtype discs. Additionally, relative chondroitin sulfate levels increased in the NP compartment of the KO mice. Transcriptomic analysis of NP tissue using CompBio, an AI-based tool showed biological themes associated with prominent dysregulation of heparan sulfate GAG degradation, mitochondria metabolism, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated misfolded protein processes and ER to Golgi protein processing. Overall, this study highlights the important role of SDC4 in fine-tuning vertebral bone homeostasis and extracellular matrix homeostasis in the mouse intervertebral disc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore the potential role of zinc-finger homeodomain transcription factor (TCF8) in osteoclastogenesis and inflammation during periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats with periodontitis were induced via Porphyromonas gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) injection. The recombinant lentivirus delivering short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against TCF8 was used to downregulate TCF8 in vivo. Alveolar bone loss in rats was determined by micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). Typical pathological changes, periodontal tissue inflammation, and osteoclastogenesis were evaluated via histological analyses. The RAW264.7-derived osteoclasts were induced by RANKL stimulation. TCF8 downregulation in vitro was achieved by lentivirus infection. The osteoclast differentiation and inflammatory signaling in RANKL-induced cells were measured via immunofluorescence methods and molecular biology approaches. RESULTS Porphyromonas gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide induced rats exhibited overexpressed TCF8 in their periodontal tissues, while TCF8 knockdown attenuated the bone loss, tissue inflammation, and osteoclastogenesis in LPS-induced rats. Besides, TCF8 silencing inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells, as evidenced by the reduced numbers of TRAP-positive osteoclasts, less formation of F-actin rings, and downregulated expressions of osteoclast-specific markers. It also exerted an inhibitory effect on the NF-κB signaling in RANKL-induced cells via blocking NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. CONCLUSIONS TCF8 silencing inhibited alveolar bone loss, osteoclast differentiation, and inflammation in periodontitis.

Abstract
Glycans, either alone or in complex with glycan-binding proteins, are essential structures that can regulate cell biology by mediating protein stability or receptor dimerization under physiological and pathological conditions. Certain glycans are ligands for lectins, which are carbohydrate-specific receptors. Bone is a complex tissue that provides mechanical support for muscles and joints, and the regulation of bone mass in mammals is governed by complex interplay between bone-forming cells, called osteoblasts, and bone-resorbing cells, called osteoclasts. Bone erosion occurs when bone resorption notably exceeds bone formation. Osteoclasts may be activated during cancer, leading to a range of symptoms, including bone pain, fracture, and spinal cord compression. Our understanding of the role of protein glycosylation in cells and tissues involved in osteoclastogenesis suggests that glycosylation-based treatments can be used in the management of diseases. The aims of this review are to clarify the process of bone resorption and investigate the signaling pathways mediated by glycosylation and their roles in osteoclast biology. Moreover, we aim to outline how the lessons learned about these approaches are paving the way for future glycobiology-focused therapeutics.

AZ-628 delays osteoarthritis progression via inhibiting the TNF-α-induced chondrocyte necroptosis and regulating osteoclast formation. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 111:109085.

Abstract
As a degenerative disease, the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) are still being studied. The prevailing view is that articular cartilage dysfunction plays an essential role in the development of osteoarthritis. Similarly, dynamic bone remodeling dramatically influences the development of osteoarthritis. The inflammatory response is caused by the overexpression of inflammatory factors, among which tumor necrosis factor-α is one of the main causes of OA, and its sources include the secretion of chondrocytes themselves and osteoclast secretion of subchondral bone. Moreover, TNF-α-induced activation of RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL has been shown to play an important role in cell necroptosis and inflammatory responses. In vitro, AZ-628 alleviates chondrocyte inflammation and necroptosis by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and RIP3 activation instead of RIP1 activation. AZ-628 also reduces osteoclast activity, proliferation and differentiation, and release of inflammatory substances by inhibiting autophagy, MAPK, and NF-κB pathways. Similarly, the in vivo study demonstrated that AZ-628 could inhibit chondrocyte breakdown and lower osteoclast formation and bone resorption, thereby slowing down subchondral bone changes induced by dynamic bone remodeling and reversing the progression of osteoarthritis in mice. The results of this study indicate that AZ-628 could be used to treat OA byinhibiting chondrocyte necroptosis and regulating osteoclast formation.

Abstract
Autophagy is an immune homeostasis process induced by multiple intracellular and extracellular signals. Inflammation is a protective response to harmful stimuli such as pathogen microbial infection and body tissue damage. Porphyromonas gingivalis infection elicits both autophagy and inflammation, and dysregulation of autophagy and inflammation promotes pathology. This review focuses on the interaction between autophagy and inflammation caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection, aiming to elaborate on the possible mechanism involved in the interaction.

Abstract
Bone is continuously remodeled in a dynamic process maintained by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and imbalances in the relative activities of these cell types can cause various pathological conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that serve an important role in regulating the development of osteoporosis. Furthermore, P2X7 receptor activation has a vital role in physiological and pathological reactions in bone, including bone disease. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of P2X7 receptor on osteoclast differentiation and to explore the underlying molecular mechanism by western blotting and tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase staining. The results indicated that the expression levels of P2X7 receptor and intracellular Ca2+ concentration levels were very high in mature osteoclasts. Furthermore, P2X7 receptor overexpression increased the number of multinucleated osteoclasts and the expression of osteoclastogenesis‑related proteins. P2X7 receptor overexpression was also associated with downstream activation of Ca2+/calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) signaling and increased expression of autophagy‑related proteins during osteoclast differentiation. By contrast, knockdown of P2X7 receptor exerted the opposite effects. Notably, FK506 (a Ca2+/calcineurin/NFATc1 signaling inhibitor) abrogated P2X7 receptor overexpression‑induced osteoclast differentiation and activation of autophagy. Moreover, 3‑MA (an autophagy inhibitor) significantly suppressed P2X7 receptor overexpression‑induced osteoclast differentiation. In conclusion, P2X7 receptor knockdown may suppress osteoclast differentiation by modulating autophagy and the Ca2+/calcineurin/NFATc1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) exists as a dynamic network of biophysical and biochemical factors that maintain tissue homeostasis. Given its sensitivity to changes in the intra- and extracellular space, the plasticity of the ECM can be pathological in driving disease through aberrant matrix remodelling. In particular, cancer uses the matrix for its proliferation, angiogenesis, cellular reprogramming and metastatic spread. An emerging field of matrix biology focuses on proteoglycans that regulate autophagy, an intracellular process that plays both critical and contextual roles in cancer. Here, we review the most prominent autophagic modulators from the matrix and the current understanding of the cellular pathways and signalling cascades that mechanistically drive their autophagic function. We then critically assess how their autophagic functions influence tumorigenesis, emphasizing the complexities and stage-dependent nature of this relationship in cancer. We highlight novel emerging data on immunoglobulin-containing and proline-rich receptor-1, heparanase and thrombospondin 1 in autophagy and cancer. Finally, we further discuss the pro- and anti-autophagic modulators originating from the ECM, as well as how these proteoglycans and other matrix constituents specifically influence cancer progression.

Abstract
Peri-implant disease is an inflammatory disease and is related to genetic heterogeneity. Considering the genetic association of epidermal growth factor (EGF) gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of periodontitis, its genetic association with peri-implantitis risk in a Chinese Han population was explored. Three hundred individuals who underwent dental implants were recruited, and divided into healthy implant group and peri-implantitis group. The genotype and allele distribution of EGF gene rs2237051 and rs4444903 polymorphisms were analyzed via direct sequencing and the frequencies were compared between the two groups using chi-square test. No significant difference was detected for the clinical information between healthy implant group and peri-implantitis group, including lifestyle habits platform type and position, peri-implant phenotype, brushing time, dental floss, and mouth washing frequencies. Individuals with peri-implantitis had poor periodontal status. The GG genotype and G allele of rs2237051 showed significant increasing trend in peri-implantitis group compared with the healthy implant group. Compared with the AA genotype carriers, rs2237051 GG genotype carriers showed lower risk to suffer from peri-implantitis (OR = 0.236, 95%CI = 0.089–0.624), and possessed low values of gingival index, plaque index and calculus index, peri-implant pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL). But there was no significant difference for the rs4444903 genotype distributions between the case and control groups. In summary, EGF rs2237051 polymorphism showed close association with the genetic background of peri-implantitis. Rs2237051 GG genotype and G allele might be protective factors for the onset of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
AdipoRon is an oral active synthetic small molecule with biological functions similar to adiponectin (APN). It is an APN receptor agonist that can improve insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. However, the role of AdipoRon in bone metabolism and related molecular mechanisms remains to be investigated. To explore the effect of AdipoRon on bone absorption and bone integration of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice with implants, we established surgery-induced model of osseointegration of dental implantation in T2DM mice of C57BL/6 db/db and normal mice homologous to diabetic mice. Micro-CT was used to analyze the femurs with the implant in the mice to detect the bone mass, H&E, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and Safranin O-fast green staining was performed to analyze the bone formation and bone resorption. Bone integration-related markers as Rankl, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteopontin (OPN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) were also measured using immunohistochemistry. Our results indicated that diabetic mice showed a lower bone mass and decreased the osteoblast differentiation. AdipoRon attenuated diabetes-impaired bone volume (BV)/total volume (TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), and bone integration-related markers variation and promoted bone hyperplasia as well as repressed the osteoclast formation, especially in diabetic mice. AdipoRon may improve the osseointegration of dental implants in mice with T2DM by promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting bone resorption, and AdipoRon may serve as a promising oral strategy to improve the osseointegration ability of patients with diabetes.
