Abstract
Orthopedic prostheses are the ultimate therapeutic solution for various end-stage orthopedic conditions. However, aseptic loosening and pyogenic infections remain as primary complications associated with these devices. In this study, a hierarchical titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube drug delivery system loaded with cinnamaldehyde for the surface modification of titanium implants, is constructed. These specially designed dual-layer TiO2 nanotubes enhance material reactivity and provide an extensive drug-loading platform within a short time. The introduction of cinnamaldehyde enhances the bone integration performance of the scaffold (simultaneously promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption), anti-inflammatory capacity, and antibacterial properties. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that this system promoted osteogenesis by upregulating both Wnt/β-catenin and MAPK signaling pathways. Furthermore, it inhibits osteoclast formation, suppresses macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses, and impedes the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In vivo experiments shows that this material enhances bone integration in a rat model of femoral defects. In addition, it effectively enhances the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in a subcutaneous implant in a rat model. This study provides a straightforward and highly effective surface modification strategy for orthopedic Ti implants.

Abstract
Background: Cinnamaldehyde (CMD) is a major functional component of Cinnamomum verum and has shown treatment effects against diverse bone diseases. This study aimed to assess the anti-diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) potential of diabetes mellitus (DM) and to explore the underlying mechanism driving the activity of CMD. Methods: A DOP model was induced via an intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (STZ) into Sprague-Dawley rats, and then two different doses of CMD were administered to the rats. The effects of CMD on the strength, remodeling activity, and histological structure of the bones were assessed. Changes in the netrin-1 related pathways also were detected to elucidate the mechanism of the anti-DOP activity by CMD. Results: CMD had no significant effect on the body weight or blood glucose level of the model rats. However, the data showed that CMD improved the bone strength and bone remodeling activity as well as attenuating the bone structure destruction in the DOP rats in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of netrin-1, DCC, UNC5B, RANKL, and OPG was suppressed, while the expression of TGF-β1, cathepsin K, TRAP, and RANK was induced by the STZ injection. CMD administration restored the expression of all of these indicators at both the mRNA and protein levels, indicating that the osteoclast activity was inhibited by CMD. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that CMD effectively attenuated bone impairments associated with DM in a STZ-induced DOP rat model, and the anti-DOP effects of CMD were associated with the modulation of netrin-1/DCC/UNC5B signal transduction.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is typically brought on by disruption of bone homeostasis. Excessive oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are believed to be the primary mechanisms underlying this disorder. Therefore, in order to restore bone homeostasis effectively, targeted treatment of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is necessary. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a small molecule that acts as an agonist for the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), has been found to possess antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. We found that CIN, while rescuing apoptosis, can also reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to improve mitochondrial dysfunction and thus restore the osteogenic differentiation potential of BMSCs disrupted by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure. The role of CIN was preliminarily considered to be a consequence of Nrf2/HO-1 axis activation. The ovariectomized mice model further demonstrated that CIN treatment ameliorated oxidative stress in vivo, partially reversing OVX-induced bone loss. This improvement was seen in the trabecular microarchitecture and bone biochemical indices. However, when ML385 was concurrently injected with CIN, the positive effects of CIN were largely blocked. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the intrinsic mechanisms by which CIN regulates BMSCs and highlights the potential therapeutic applications of these findings in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The natural extracellular matrix, with its heterogeneous structure, provides a stable and dynamic biophysical framework and biochemical signals to guide cellular behaviors. It is challenging but highly desirable to develop a synthetic matrix that emulates the heterogeneous fibrous structure with macroscopic stability and microscopical dynamics and contains inductive biochemical signals. Herein, we introduce a peptide fiber-reinforced hydrogel in which the stiff ß-sheet fiber functions as a multivalent cross-linker to enhance the hydrogel's macroscopic stability. The dynamic imine cross-link between the peptide fiber and polymer network endows the hydrogel with a microscopically dynamic network. The obtained fibrillar nanocomposite hydrogel, with its cell-adaptable dynamic network, enhances cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions and therefore significantly promotes the mechanotransduction, metabolic energetics, and osteogenesis of encapsulated stem cells. Furthermore, the hydrogel can codeliver a fiber-attached inductive drug to further enhance osteogenesis and bone regeneration. We believe that our work provides valuable guidance for the design of cell-adaptive and bioactive biomaterials for therapeutic applications.

In Vitro Screening Studies on Eight Commercial Essential Oils-Derived Compounds to Identify Promising Natural Agents for the Prevention of Osteoporosis. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11041095. [PMID: 37189712 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11041095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Over the years, essential oils (EOs) and their compounds have gained growing interest due to their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight commercially available EO-derived compounds ((R)-(+)-limonene, (S)-(−)-limonene, sabinene, carvacrol, thymol, alpha-pinene (α-pinene), beta-pinene (β-pinene), and cinnamaldehyde) on the bone formation process in vitro to select the most promising natural agents that could potentially be used in the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis. Within this study, evaluation of cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation was performed with the use of mouse primary calvarial preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1). Moreover, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization was determined using MC3T3-E1 cells and dog adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). The two highest non-toxic concentrations of each of the compounds were selected and used for testing other activities. The conducted study showed that cinnamaldehyde, thymol, and (R)-(+)-limonene significantly stimulated cell proliferation. In the case of cinnamaldehyde, the doubling time (DT) for MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly shortened to approx. 27 h compared to the control cells (DT = 38 h). In turn, cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, (R)-(+)-limonene, (S)-(−)-limonene, sabinene, and α-pinene exhibited positive effects on either the synthesis of bone ECM or/and mineral deposition in ECM of the cells. Based on the conducted research, it can be assumed that cinnamaldehyde and (R)-(+)-limonene are the most promising among all tested EO-derived compounds and can be selected for further detailed research in order to confirm their biomedical potential in the chemoprevention or treatment of osteoporosis since they not only accelerated the proliferation of preosteoblasts, but also significantly enhanced osteocalcin (OC) synthesis by preosteoblasts (the OC level was approx. 1100–1200 ng/mg compared to approx. 650 ng/mg in control cells) and ECM calcification of both preosteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells. Importantly, cinnamaldehyde treatment led to a three-fold increase in the mineral deposition in ADSCs, whereas (R)-(+)-limonene caused a two-fold increase in the ECM mineralization of both MC3T3-E1 cells and ADSCs.

Abstract
Cinnamaldehyde is a natural product with anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties, known to regulate host responses to bacterial stimuli. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cinnamaldehyde on ligature-induced periodontitis in rats, and its impact on the modulation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Male Wistar rats were assigned into three groups:i) control: no ligature + vehicle; ii) ligature: ligature + vehicle; and iii) ligature + cinnamaldehyde (50 mg/kg); all treatments by daily oral gavage. After 14 days of induced periodontitis, the hemimandibles were collected for bone loss evaluation. The gingival levels of IL-1β, MMP-9 and iNOS mRNA were evaluated. Nitric oxide (NO) was measured in both rat saliva and plasma. PBMC were stimulated with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) in the presence or absence of cinnamaldehyde (5, 20 e 40 µM), and cytokine production was quantified in cell supernatant. Proliferating lymphocytes were taken for flow cytometer reading, while culture supernatants were used for IFN-γ and IL-10 assessment. The ligature group had both increased alveolar bone loss and gingival expression of IL-1β, MMP-9 and iNOS compared to the control group. All parameters were attenuated by cinnamaldehyde treatment. Lower salivary but not plasma NO was detected in the cinnamaldehyde compared to the ligature group. Aa-stimulated PBMCs treated with cinnamaldehyde produced less IL-1β; the compound also attenuated lymphocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, as well as cell IL-10 production. Cinnamaldehyde treatment reduced periodontal bone loss, and downregulated key inflammatory mediators and human PBMC responses, pointing to novel potential therapeutic effects of this compound.

Combination of Cinnamaldehyde with Carvacrol or Thymol Improves the Mechanical Properties of Tibia in Post-Peak Laying Hens. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12223108.

Abstract
Roles of plant-derived cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and thymol in the gut and bone health of laying hens was evaluated in the present study. After acclimation for 2 weeks, a total 384 of 52-week-old laying hens were allocated into three groups for 6 weeks: (1) basal diet group (Ctrl), (2) combination of cinnamaldehyde with carvacrol group (CAR+CIN), and (3) blend of cinnamaldehyde with thymol (THY+CIN). The dietary essential oil level was 100 mg/kg. Each treatment group had eight replicate pens (16 birds/pen). The stiffness and ultimate load of the tibiae from both the CAR+CIN and THY+CIN groups were higher than that of the Ctrl group (p < 0.05), along with comparable tibia ash, calcium, and phosphorus content among groups. At the same time, the manipulation of essential oils upregulated the transcription abundances of intestinal barrier proteins to varying degrees, whereas the experimental treatment failed to affect the composition in phyla of cecal microbiota. When compared to the Ctrl group, birds fed the CAR+CIN and THY+CIN diet displayed decreased bone resorption markers, reduced interleukin-1 concentrations, and increased transforming growth factor beta levels in serum. These findings suggest that cinnamaldehyde with carvacrol or thymol in feed of hens could enhance intestinal barrier and improve the mechanical properties of tibiae through structural modelling but not increase the mineral density, which might be involved in suppressing inflammation-mediated bone resorption.

Abstract
Cinnamomum cassia (L.) Presl (cinnamon), an important folk medicine is widely used to prevent osteoporosis for long time in China. Our study aimed to investigate the anti-osteoporosis activity and mechanisms of cinnamon extracts obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE) and identify activity associated chemical components by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The cinnamon SFE exhibited superior anti-osteoporosis efficacy in an ovariectomised mice model to common alcohol extracts. It could induce calcified nodules and ALP activity, upregulate the mRNA expression of ALP, BMP-2, and RUNX2 in MC3T3-E1 cells. The major chemical classes of cinnamon extracts were alcohol esters (28.2%), and terpenes (16.1%). The spectrum-activity analysis indicated that the potential chemical-markers of extracts could be (E)-Cinnamaldehyde, γ-Sitosterol, and (Z, Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, which could induce the proliferation and ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our study revealed the promising applications of the cinnamon SFE in prevention of osteoporosis, and identified its anti-osteoporosis associated compounds.

JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2022; 33:63. [PMID: 36065035 PMCID: PMC9444834 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-022-06683-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Current evidence has suggested that diabetes increases the risk of implanting failure, and therefore, appropriate surface modification of dental implants in patients with diabetes is crucial. TiO2 nanotube (TNT) has an osteogenic nanotopography, and its osteogenic properties can be further improved by loading appropriate drugs. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN) has been proven to have osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial effects. We fabricated a pH-responsive cinnamaldehyde-TiO2 nanotube coating (TNT-CIN) and hypothesized that this coating will exert osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial functions in a simulated diabetes condition. TNT-CIN was constructed by anodic oxidation, hydroxylation, silylation, and Schiff base reaction to bind CIN, and its surface characteristics were determined. Conditions of diabetes and diabetes with a concurrent infection were simulated using 22-mM glucose without and with 1-μg/mL lipopolysaccharide, respectively. The viability and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, polarization and secretion of macrophages, and resistance to Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus mutans were evaluated. CIN was bound to the TNT surface successfully and released better in low pH condition. TNT-CIN showed better osteogenic and anti-inflammatory effects and superior bacterial resistance than TNT in a simulated diabetes condition. These findings indicated that TNT-CIN is a promising, multifunctional surface coating for patients with diabetes needing dental implants. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by low bone density that poses a high risk of bone fractures, is associated with aging, diet, and menopause. Despite the various known therapeutic methods for osteoporosis treatment, the development of a new therapeutic agent without side effects in long-term use is required. Cinnamic acid (CA) is a phytochemical found in cinnamon. In this study, we evaluated the effect of CA on osteoporosis and demonstrated its mechanism in MC3T3E1 preosteoblasts and ovariectomized mice. CA treatment induced osteoblast differentiation with elevation of osteogenic markers both in vitro and in vivo. CA treatment ameliorated bone loss resulting in better bone indices, increased gut microbial diversity, and recovered changes in the gut microbial composition induced by ovariectomy. These changes were accompanied by an increase in BMP/TGFβ/Smad signaling. Therefore, CA has the potential to suppress the progress of bone loss via the enhancement of bone density through the regulation of gut microbiota.

Abstract
This study develops chitosan/gelatin nanofiber membranes with sustained release capacity to prevent infection by delivering cinnamon extract (CE) in the implanted site. The effects of the incorporation of CE content (2-6%) on the properties of the nanofibers were evaluated. Morphological studies using SEM indicated that loading the extract did not affect the average diameter of nanofiber mats, which remained around 140-170 nm. TGA and FTIR spectroscopy results confirmed successful CE loading. Furthermore, the results showed that incorporating extract into the nanofibers enhanced their degradation behavior, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility. Cultured cells attached to and proliferate on the nanofiber membrane with high cell viability capacity until the CE content reached 4%. The extract release profile consisted of a burst release in the first 6 h, followed by a controlled release in the next 138 h. Therefore, CE loaded chitosan/gelatin nanofiber is an excellent construct for biomedical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis is a major public health problem that is appeared with increasing age. This study evaluated the effect of the algae Dichotomaria obtusata methanol extract on osteogenic differentiation of the cultured bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in vitro and analyzed the algae methanol extract to find out the potent beneficial components. METHODS Dichotomaria obtusata were collected from the coastal area of Bushehr City in the Persian Gulf, Iran. The expression of osteogenesis-related genes was examined using real-time PCR. The formation of calcium deposits in differentiated MSCs was examined by Alizarin R staining. Analyses of algae extract ingredients were performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). KEY FINDINGS Methanol extract of the algae caused the up-regulation of osteogenic genes that were significant for Osteopontin and Osteocalcin (P < 0.05) and also led to an increase in calcium deposits and matrix mineralization in BMMSCs. The GC-MS analyses of the algae extracts resulted in the identification of steroids and essential fatty acids. CONCLUSION The results of the study indicated that the methanol extract of D. obtusata may possess significant potentials for the prevention of osteoporosis in vitro.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 76:153256.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Bushenhuoxue formula (BSHXF) is successfully used as a non-traumatic therapy in treating bone fracture in China, the molecular mechanism underlying its effects remains poorly understood. PURPOSE The present study aims to explore the therapeutic effects of BSHXF on fracture healing in mice and the underlying mechanism. METHODS We performed unilateral open transverse tibial fracture procedure in C57BL/6 mice which were treated with or without BSHXF. Fracture callus tissues were collected and analyzed by X-ray, micro-CT, biomechanical testing, histopathology and quantitative gene expression analysis. Tibial fracture procedure was also performed in Cre-negative and Gli1-CreER; Tgfbr2flox/flox conditional knockout (KO) mice (Tgfbr2Gli1ER) to determine if BSHXF enhances fracture healing in a TGF-β-dependent manner. In addition, scratch-wound assay and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were used to evaluate the effect of BSHXF on cell migration and cell proliferation in C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells, respectively. RESULTS BSHXF promoted endochondral ossification and enhanced bone strength in wild-type (WT) or Cre- control mice. In contrast, BSHXF failed to promote bone fracture healing in Tgfbr2Gli1ER conditional KO mice. In the mice receiving BSHXF treatment, TGF-β/Smad2 signaling was significantly activated. Moreover, BSHXF enhanced cell migration and cell proliferation in C3H10T1/2 cells, which was strongly attenuated by the small molecule inhibitor SB525334 against TGF-β type I receptor. CONCLUSION These data demonstrated that BSHXF promotes fracture healing by activating TGF-β/Smad2 signaling. BSHXF may be used as a type of alternative medicine for the treatment of bone fracture healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bushenhuoxue formula (BSHXF) has shown excellent clinical effects on the treatment of osteoporosis in China. The aim of this study is to determine the anti-osteoporosis effects and precise molecular mechanisms of BSHXF on mouse models. METHODS Ten-week-old female C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to ovariectomy and provided a daily treatment of BSHXF. At 8 weeks post-surgery, the femurs were harvested for tissue analyses including μCT, histology, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of β-catenin, ALP and FABP4. To investigate the role of β-catenin in the anti-osteoporosis effects of BSHXF, relative experiments mentioned above were performed in β-catenin conditional knockout mice. RESULTS Ovariectomized (OVX) mice presented severe bone loss and excessive fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction underneath the growth plate, with decreased expression of ALP and increased expression of FABP4. BSHXF significantly recovered the OVX-induced abnormal osteogenesis and adipogenesis with the activation of β-catenin in growth plate chondrocytes. Further, we generated growth plate chondrocyte-specific β-catenin knockout (β-cateninGli1ER) mice that exhibited bone loss and fat accumulation in the chondro-osseous junction, similar to the OVX mice. However, BSHXF failed to rescue the osteoporosis-like phenotype in β-cateninGli1ER mice, indicating the anti-osteoporosis effects of BSHXF act mainly through β-catenin signaling. No significant restoration of ALP and FABP4 was observed in β-cateninGli1ER mice after the treatment of BSHXF. CONCLUSIONS BSHXF attenuates osteoporosis by promoting osteogenic differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes mainly in β-catenin-dependent manner. BSHXF is considered as a new candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells and show distinct features such as capability for self-renewal and differentiation into several lineages of cells including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. In this study, the methylation status of the promoter region of zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16 (ZBTB16), twist-related protein 1(Twist1), de novo DNA methyltransferases 3A (DNMT3A), SRY-box 9 (Sox9), osteocalcin (OCN), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) genes and their messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels were evaluated during the osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs (ODMSCs). We planned two experimental groups including zoledronic acid (ZA)-treated and nontreated cells (negative control) which both were differentiated into the osteoblasts. Methylation level of DNA in the promoter regions was assayed by methylation-specific-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (MS-qPCR), and mRNA levels of the target inhibitory/stimulatory genes during osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs were measured using real-time PCR. During the experimental induction of ODMSCs, the mRNA expression of the OCN gene was upregulated and methylation level of its promoter region was decreased. Moreover, Sox9 and PPARγ2 mRNA levels were attenuated and their promoter regions methylation levels were significantly augmented. However, the mRNA expression of the DNMT3A was not affected during the ODMSCs though its methylation rate was increased. In addition, ZA could enhance the expression of the ZBTB16 and decrease its promoter regions methylation and on the opposite side, it diminished mRNA expression of Sox9, Twist1, and PPARγ2 genes and increased their methylation rates. Intriguingly, ZA did not show a significant impact on gene expression and methylation levels the OCN and DNMT3A. We found that methylation of the promoter regions of Sox9, OCN, and PPARγ2 genes might be one of the main mechanisms adjusting the genes expression during the ODMSCs. Furthermore, we noticed that ZA can accelerate the MSCs differentiation to the osteoblast cells via two regulatory processes; suppression of osteoblastic differentiation inhibitor genes including Sox9, Twist1, and PPARγ2, and through promotion of the ZBTB16 expression.
