Unraveling the molecular and immunological landscape: Exploring signaling pathways in osteoporosis. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:116954. [PMID: 38906027 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by compromised bone density and microarchitecture, represents a significant global health challenge, particularly in aging populations. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate signaling pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, providing valuable insights into the pivotal role of signal transduction in maintaining bone homeostasis. The exploration encompasses cellular signaling pathways such as Wnt, Notch, JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and TGF-β, all of which play crucial roles in bone remodeling. The dysregulation of these pathways is a contributing factor to osteoporosis, necessitating a profound understanding of their complexities to unveil the molecular mechanisms underlying bone loss. The review highlights the pathological significance of disrupted signaling in osteoporosis, emphasizing how these deviations impact the functionality of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, ultimately resulting in heightened bone resorption and compromised bone formation. A nuanced analysis of the intricate crosstalk between these pathways is provided to underscore their relevance in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the study addresses some of the most crucial long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with osteoporosis, adding an additional layer of academic depth to the exploration of immune system involvement in various types of osteoporosis. Finally, we propose that SKP1 can serve as a potential biomarker in osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH) administration on pathological new bone formation during treatment of ankylosing spondylitis-related osteoporosis. METHODS Animal models with pathological bone formation caused by hypothetical AS pathogenesis received treatment with iPTH. We determined the effects of iPTH on bone loss and the formation of pathological new bone with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological examination. In addition, the tamoxifen-inducible conditional knockout mice (CAGGCre-ERTM; PTHflox/flox, PTH-/-) was established to delete PTH and investigate the effect of endogenous PTH on pathological new bone formation. RESULTS iPTH treatment significantly improved trabecular bone mass in the modified collagen-induced arthritis (m-CIA) model and unbalanced mechanical loading models. Meanwhile, iPTH treatment did not enhance pathological new bone formation in all types of animal models. Endogenous PTH deficiency had no effects on pathological new bone formation in unbalanced mechanical loading models. CONCLUSION Experimental animal models of AS treated with iPTH show improvement in trabecular bone density, but not entheseal pathological bone formation,indicating it may be a potential treatment for inflammatory bone loss does in AS.

Abstract
Bone loss is a well-known phenomenon in the older population leading to increased bone fracture risk, morbidity, and mortality. Supplementation of eggshell membrane (ESM) is evaluated due to its possible application to prevent bone loss and usage in osteoporosis therapy. The similar organic chemical composition of ESM and human bone is described in detail as both mainly consist of collagen type I, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, hyaluronic acid and elastan. ESM and its components are reported to improve mineralization in bone tissue. In many studies ESM intake reduced pain in patients with joint disorders and reduced inflammatory processes. Additionally, ESM improved calcium uptake in human cells. These findings in comparison with a clinical pilot study reporting pain reduction in osteoporotic patients and increased osteoblast activity in in vitro assays support ESM to be a beneficial supplement for bone health. In this systematic review we combined chemical structure analysis with clinical studies to give a more comprehensive picture with novel explanations.

Abstract
Objectives This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of tumor necrotic factor alpha inhibitors in suppressing bone resorption in periodontitis, and its potential to cause osteonecrosis. Extensive electronic research was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, which connected various aspects of anti-TNF-a (anti-tumor necrosis factor-a) to periodontitis and osteonecrosis patients. Background TNF-a inhibitors are broadly indicated in the treatment of autoimmune patients with possible joint resorption and increased inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, where they reduce bone loss and certain mediators. As rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis share many characteristics, these medications may also be helpful in the treatment of coexisting periodontitis. However, besides medical benefits, anti-TNF-a also exhibits several adverse effects, ranging from dizziness to tuberculosis. Osteonecrosis is considered a recent adverse impact. Methods An extensive electronic systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines was performed for English-language papers using the following databases as sources of information: PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Library Genesis, Worldwide Science, National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS), and other related articles. This systematic review is registered on the PROSPERO platform under registration number CRD42022341753. Results Twenty articles were identified after the exclusion criteria were applied. These include systematic reviews, case reports, retrospective cohort studies, case report series, meta-analyses, clinical trials, randomised clinical trials, cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, longitudinal observational studies, and prospective clinical trials. All these were included in the quantitative and qualitative analyses. Conclusions Anti-TNF-a drugs show promising results in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis but could be considered a risk factor for osteonecrosis. Hence, patients receiving such medications should be closely monitored by the dentist and physician before, during, and after administration.

Quantitative increase in T regulatory cells enhances bone remodeling in osteogenesis imperfecta. iScience 2022; 25:104818.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by repeated bone fractures. Recent studies have shown that T lymphocytes and regulatory T cells (Tregs) regulate the functions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, thus playing a role in bone turnover. We demonstrate an activated effector phenotype and higher secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in OI peripheral T cells as compared with wild-type (WT). Suppressive Tregs (spleen and thymus) were qualitatively similar, whereas there was a quantitative decrease in OI versus WT. Restoring Treg numbers by systemic transplantation in OI mice resulted in reduced T cell activation and effector cytokine secretion that correlated with significant improvements in tibial trabecular and cortical bone parameters and stiffness of femur, along with increased osteoblast mineralization and decreased osteoclast numbers. Therefore, Tregs can dampen the pro-inflammatory environment and enhance bone remodeling in OI mice. Thus, this study will be helpful in developing future autologous immunotherapy-based treatment modalities for OI.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces inflammatory bone loss in golden Syrian hamsters. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2539.

Abstract
Extrapulmonary complications of different organ systems have been increasingly recognized in patients with severe or chronic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, limited information on the skeletal complications of COVID-19 is known, even though inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract have been known to perturb bone metabolism and cause pathological bone loss. In this study, we characterize the effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on bone metabolism in an established golden Syrian hamster model for COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 causes significant multifocal loss of bone trabeculae in the long bones and lumbar vertebrae of all infected hamsters. Moreover, we show that the bone loss is associated with SARS-CoV-2-induced cytokine dysregulation, as the circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines not only upregulate osteoclastic differentiation in bone tissues, but also trigger an amplified pro-inflammatory cascade in the skeletal tissues to augment their pro-osteoclastogenesis effect. Our findings suggest that pathological bone loss may be a neglected complication which warrants more extensive investigations during the long-term follow-up of COVID-19 patients. The benefits of potential prophylactic and therapeutic interventions against pathological bone loss should be further evaluated. Although extrapulmonary complications of different organ systems are recognized in patients with severe COVID19 effects are less well studied. Here, Qiao et al. characterize the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 on bone metabolism in Syrian hamster and find that bone loss is associated with virus-mediated cytokine dysregulation.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are two major mechanisms leading to the imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation rate, and subsequently, bone loss. Thus, functional foods and dietary compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory could protect skeletal health. This review aims to examine the current evidence on the skeletal protective effects of propolis, a resin produced by bees, known to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. A literature search was performed using Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify studies on the effects of propolis on bone health. The search string used was (i) propolis AND (ii) (bone OR osteoporosis OR osteoblasts OR osteoclasts OR osteocytes). Eighteen studies were included in the current review. The available experimental studies demonstrated that propolis could prevent bone loss due to periodontitis, dental implantitis, and diabetes in animals. Combined with synthetic and natural grafts, it could also promote fracture healing. Propolis protects bone health by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and promoting osteoblastogenesis, partly through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Despite the promising preclinical results, the skeletal protective effects of propolis are yet to be proven in human studies. This research gap should be bridged before nutraceuticals based on propolis with specific health claims can be developed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effects of PERK activator CCT020312 (CCT) on inflammation-mediated osteoporosis (IMO) in ovariectomized rats. METHODS Rats were divided into Sham, IMO, IMO + 1 mg/kg CCT and IMO + 2 mg/kg CCT groups. IMO models were constructed by bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) on 1st day followed by injection with magnesium silicate (Talc) on the 59th day. Sham rats did not undergo OVX surgery and were injected with saline instead of Talc. From 60th to 79th day, rats were treated with DMSO (vehicle control) in the Sham and IMO groups, and 1 or 2 mg/kg CCT020312 in treatment groups. Osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), and pro-inflammatory factors were measured on the 80th day. ProdigyDEXA was used to evaluate bone mineral density and content (BMD/BMC). Bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), connectivity density (Conn.D), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was assessed using 3D micro-CT scanner. RESULTS CCT up-regulated Conn.D, BV/TV, and Tb.N, but down-regulated Tb.Sp in IMO rats. Besides, the declined femoral BMD and BMC in IMO rats were elevated after CCT treatment. Besides, IMO rats represented declined OPN and OCN, as well as increased TRAP, CTX-I, and pro-inflammatory factors, whereas those in the treatment groups were ameliorated regarding these indexes, with 2 mg/kg CCT showing better effect. CONCLUSION PERK activator CCT020312 can be served as a new therapeutic option for the protection against bone loss in the OVX rat model associated with inflammation probably by manipulating inflammatory factors.

Abstract
The Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt)-NAD-Sirt1 pathway modulates processes involved in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases by influencing inflammation. This study aimed to explore the effect of Nampt in osteogenic differentiation and inflammatory response of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. We developed an in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and showed that Nampt and Sirt1 were significantly upregulated in LPS-treated MC3T3-E1 cells. LPS induced secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and attenuated osteogenic differentiation. Then we transfected cells with adenoviruses to knock down or over express Nampt. Nampt promoted the expression of IL-6, TAK1 and phospho-NF-κB p65 after LPS treatment. Overexpression of Nampt overrode the effect of LPS and rescued LPS-induced inhibition on osteogenic differentiation. FK866, a Nampt inhibitor, had the same inhibitory effect as Nampt knockdown. In addition, Sirt1 suppression by EX527 decreased IL-6 secretion and NF-κB activation without changing the level of Nampt. EX527 also decreased osteogenic differentiation. Incubation with NMN or SRT 1720 also counteract the inhibitory effect of LPS and rescued osteoblast differentiation. Therefore, we demonstrated that Nampt acted both in promoting osteoblast differentiation and in enhancing inflammatory response, mediated by Sirt1 in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Skeletal abnormalities are common comorbidities of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients suffering from IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, present with skeletal complications. However, the mechanism underpinning IBD-associated bone loss remains vague. Intestinal inflammation generates an inflammatory milieu at the intestinal epithelium that leads to dysregulation of mucosal immunity through gut-residing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and other cell types. ILCs are recently identified mucosal cells considered as the gatekeeper of gut immunity and their function is regulated by intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-secreted cytokines in response to the inflammatory microenvironment. We first demonstrate that serum as well as IECs collected from the intestine of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice contain high levels of inflammatory and osteoclastogenic cytokines. Mechanistically, heightened inflammatory response of IECs was associated with significant intrinsic activation of NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) in IECs and increased frequency of ILC1, ILC3, and myeloid osteoclast progenitors. Validating the central role of IEC-specific NF-κB activation in this phenomenon, conditional expression of constitutively active inhibitor kappa B kinase 2 (IKK2) in IECs in mice recapitulates the majority of the cellular, inflammatory, and osteolytic phenotypes observed in the chemically induced colitis. Furthermore, conditional deletion of IKK2 from IECs significantly attenuated inflammation and bone loss in DSS-induced colitis. Finally, using the DSS-induced colitis model, pharmacologic inhibition of IKK2 was effective in reducing frequency of ILC1 and ILC3 cells, attenuated circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, and halted colitis-associated bone loss. Our findings identify IKK2 in IECs as viable therapeutic target for colitis-associated osteopenia.

Abstract
Objective: To assess if patients affected by systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) present an increased risk of osteoporosis (OP). Methods: Forty adults patients referred to the Rheumatology Unit of Padova University Hospital affected by Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), TNF-Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS), and Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD) and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled. Blood and urine samples were collected in order to define phosphocalcic metabolism, including Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), and among inflammatory markers serum amyloid A (SAA). Femur and lumbar dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were performed and Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) was calculated on DXA lumbar images. Results: We did not observe a statistically significant difference between Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and TBS of patients compared to controls. Also, the values of phosphocalcic metabolites in patients did not statistically differ from those in controls. However, SAA and OPG levels were significantly higher in patients compared to healthy subjects (p = 0.0244 and p = 0.0064, respectively). Conclusion: Patients of our cohort affected by FMF, TRAPS, and MKD do not present an increased risk of OP compared to the healthy controls. TBS and BMD are similar between the two groups underlining a preserved bone quality in patients. High OPG levels could suggest a protective role and a bone re-balancing action in response to an inflammatory background. Finally, it should be taken into account a modulatory role played by a pro-inflammatory cytokine such as SAA on bone homeostasis.

Abstract
The concept that inflammation serves a leading role in osteoclast-induced bone loss under pathological circumstances is now widely accepted. In the present study, it was observed that lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) demonstrated a synergic effect on receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation in Raw264.7 cells, with increasing levels of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β. Furthermore, microRNA (miR)-146a was highly induced by LPS and RANKL co-stimulation during the process of osteoclast differentiation. Overexpression of miR-146a inhibited osteoclast transformation by targeting the key regulators of nuclear factor (NF)-κβ signaling, TNF receptor-associated factor 6 and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1. The downstream activation of NF-κβ signaling was also inhibited by transfection with a miR-146a mimic. Altogether, the results of the present study demonstrated that miR-146a prevents osteoclast differentiation induced by LPS and RANKL co-stimulation, suggesting that miR-146a may be a promising therapeutic target for treatment of inflammation mediated bone loss.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Eggs contain bioactive compounds thought to benefit pediatric bone. This cross-sectional study shows a positive link between childhood egg intake and radius cortical bone. If randomized trials confirm our findings, incorporating eggs into children's diets could have a significant impact in preventing childhood fractures and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION This study examined the relationships between egg consumption and cortical bone in children. METHODS The cross-sectional study design included 294 9-13-year-old black and white males and females. Three-day diet records determined daily egg consumption. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography measured radius and tibia cortical bone. Body composition and biomarkers of bone turnover were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and ELISA, respectively. RESULTS Egg intake was positively correlated with radius and tibia cortical bone mineral content (Ct.BMC), total bone area, cortical area, cortical thickness, periosteal circumference, and polar strength strain index in unadjusted models (r = 0.144-0.224, all P < 0.050). After adjusting for differences in race, sex, maturation, fat-free soft tissue mass (FFST), and protein intakes, tibia relationships were nullified; however, egg intake remained positively correlated with radius Ct.BMC (r = 0.138, P = 0.031). Egg intake positively correlated with total body bone mineral density, BMC, and bone area in the unadjusted models only (r = 0.119-0.224; all P < 0.050). After adjusting for covariates, egg intake was a positive predictor of radius FFST (β = 0.113, P < 0.050) and FFST was a positive predictor of Ct.BMC (β = 0.556, P < 0.050) in path analyses. There was a direct influence of egg on radius Ct.BMC (β = 0.099, P = 0.035), even after adjusting for the mediator, FFST (β = 0.137, P = 0.020). Egg intake was positively correlated with osteocalcin in both the unadjusted (P = 0.005) and adjusted (P = 0.049) models. CONCLUSION If the positive influence of eggs on Ct.BMC observed in this study is confirmed through future randomized controlled trials, whole eggs may represent a viable strategy to promote pediatric bone development and prevent fractures.

Abstract
A prolonged increase in proinflammatory cytokines is associated with osteoporotic and autoimmune bone loss and, conversely, anti-inflammatory pathways are associated with protection against bone loss. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor (MFG-E)-8 is a glycoprotein that is proresolving, regulates apoptotic cell clearance, and has been linked to autoimmune disease and skeletal homeostasis. The role of MFG-E8 in the young vs. adult skeleton was determined in mice deficient in MFG-E8 (KO). In vivo, trabecular bone was similar in MFG-E8KO and wild-type (WT) mice at 6 and 16 wk, whereas 22 wk adult MFG-E8KO mice displayed significantly reduced trabecular BV/TV. The number of osteoclasts per bone surface was increased in 22-wk MFG-E8 KO vs. WT mice, and recombinant murine MFG-E8 decreased the number and size of osteoclasts in vitro. Adult MFG-E8KO spleen weight:body weight was increased compared with WT, and flow cytometric analysis showed significantly increased myeloid-derived suppressor cells (CD11bhiGR-1+) and neutrophils (CD11bhiLy6G+) in MFG-E8KO bone marrow, suggesting an inflammatory phenotype. PTH-treated MFG-E8KO mice showed a greater anabolic response (+124% BV/TV) than observed in PTH-treated WT mice (+64% BV/TV). These data give insight into the role of MFG-E8 in the adult skeleton and suggest that anabolic PTH may be a valuable therapeutic approach for autoimmune-associated skeletal disease.-Michalski, M.

Abstract
This review briefly describes the most common chronic inflammatory diseases in childhood, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) that can be considered, as such, for the changes reported in the placenta and cord blood of these subjects. Changes in growth hormone (GH) secretion, GH resistance, and changes in the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system are described mainly in relationship with the increase in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Changes in the growth plate are also reported as well as a potential role for microRNAs (miRNAs) and thus epigenetic changes in chronic inflammation. Many mechanisms leading to growth failure are currently known; however, it is clear that further research in the field is still warranted.

Abstract
Bone is in a constant state of remodeling, a process which was once attributed solely to osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Decades of research has identified many other populations of cells in the bone that participate and mediate skeletal homeostasis. Recently, osteal macrophages emerged as vital participants in skeletal remodeling and osseous repair. The exact mechanistic roles of these tissue-resident macrophages are currently under investigation. Macrophages are highly plastic in response to their micro-environment and are typically classified as being pro- or anti-inflammatory (pro-resolving) in nature. Given that inflammatory states result in decreased bone mass, proinflammatory macrophages may be negative regulators of bone turnover. Pro-resolving macrophages have been shown to release anabolic factors and may present a target for therapeutic intervention in inflammation-induced bone loss and fracture healing. The process of apoptotic cell clearance, termed efferocytosis, is mediated by pro-resolving macrophages and may contribute to steady-state bone turnover as well as fracture healing and anabolic effects of osteoporosis therapies. Parathyroid hormone is an anabolic agent in bone that is more effective in the presence of mature phagocytic macrophages, further supporting the hypothesis that efferocytic macrophages are positive contributors to bone turnover. Therapies which alter macrophage plasticity in tissues other than bone should be explored for their potential to treat bone loss either alone or in conjunction with current bone therapeutics. A better understanding of the exact mechanisms by which macrophages mediate bone homeostasis will lead to an expansion of pharmacologic targets for the treatment of osteoporosis and inflammation-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Bone health in children with rheumatic conditions may be compromised due to several factors related to the inflammatory disease state, delayed puberty, altered life style, including decreased physical activities, sun avoidance, suboptimal calcium and vitamin D intake, and medical treatments, mainly glucocorticoids and possibly some disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Low bone density or even fragility fractures could be asymptomatic; therefore, children with diseases of high inflammatory load, such as systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and those requiring chronic glucocorticoids may benefit from routine screening of bone health. Most commonly used assessment tools are laboratory testing including serum 25-OH-vitamin D measurement and bone mineral density measurement by a variety of methods, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry as the most widely used. Early disease control, use of steroid-sparing medications such as disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and biologics, supplemental vitamin D and calcium, and promotion of weight-bearing physical activities can help optimize bone health. Additional treatment options for osteoporosis such as bisphosphonates are still controversial in children with chronic rheumatic diseases, especially those with decreased bone density without fragility fractures. This article reviews common risk factors leading to compromised bone health in children with chronic rheumatic diseases and discusses the general approach to prevention and treatment of bone fragility.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to assess the effect of petroleum ether extract (PEE), ethyl acetate extract (EthE), and ethanol extract (EAE) of Trichilia monadelpha stem bark on bone histomorphology in arthritis. METHODS Percentage inhibition of edema and arthritic scores in complete Freund's adjuvant-induced (0.1 ml of 5 mg/ml1 of heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in paraffin oil-injected subplantar into the right hind paw) arthritic Sprague-Dawley rats treated with PEE, EthE, or EAE (10,30, and 100 mg/kg1, respectively), dexamethasone (0.3-3.0 mg/kg1), or methotrexate (0.1-1.0 mg/kg1) over a 28-day period were estimated. Rat paws were radiographed and scored. Body weights were taken and paw tissues were harvested for histopathological studies. RESULTS The extracts significantly (P ≤ 0.01-0.0001) and dose dependently reduced the polyarthritic phase of arthritis. EAE and PEE significantly (P ≤ 0.01-0.0001) minimized edema spread from acute arthritic phase (days 0-10) to polyarthritic phase (days 10-28). EthE improved which deteriorated body weight in arthritis. All extracts significantly (P ≤ 0.05-0.01) improved arthritic score; reducing erythema, swelling and joint rigidity, and also significantly (P ≤ 0.05-0.01) reduced hyperplasia, pannus formation, and exudation of inflammatory cells into synovial spaces. CONCLUSION The stem bark extracts of T. monadelpha reduce bone tissue damage and resorption associated with adjuvant-induced arthritis, hence could be useful in managing arthritis in humans.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a global public health problem affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. We previously showed that treatment with alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a multifunctional protein with anti-inflammatory properties, mitigated bone loss in an ovariectomized mouse model. However, the underlying mechanisms of the protective effect of AAT on bone tissue are largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of AAT on osteoclast formation and function in vitro. Our results showed that AAT dose-dependently inhibited the formation of RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand) induced osteoclasts derived from mouse bone marrow macrophages/monocyte (BMM) lineage cells and the murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. In order to elucidate the possible mechanisms underlying this inhibition, we tested the effect of AAT on the gene expression of cell surface molecules, transcription factors, and cytokines associated with osteoclast formation. We showed that AAT inhibited M-CSF (macrophage colony-stimulating factor) induced cell surface RANK expression in osteoclast precursor cells. In addition, AAT inhibited RANKL-induced TNF-α production, cell surface CD9 expression, and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) gene expression. Importantly, AAT treatment significantly inhibited osteoclast-associated mineral resorption. Together, these results uncovered new mechanisms for the protective effects of AAT and strongly support the notion that AAT has therapeutic potential for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Interleukin-32 gamma (IL-32γ) is a recently discovered cytokine that is elevated in inflamed tissues and contributes to pathogenic features of bone in human inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Nevertheless, the role of IL-32γ and its direct involvement in bone metabolism is unclear. We investigated the molecular mechanism of IL-32γ in bone remodeling and the hypothetical correlation between IL-32γ and disease activity in osteoporosis patients. Transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing human IL-32γ showed reduced bone loss with advancing age, increased bone formation, and high osteogenic capacity of osteoblast compared to wild-type (WT) mice through the upregulation of miR-29a, which caused a reduction of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) expression. IL-32γ TG mice were protected against ovariectomy (OVX)induced osteoporosis compared with WT mice. Decreased plasma IL-32γ levels were associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in human patients linked to increased DKK1 levels. These results indicate that IL-32γ plays a protective role for bone loss, providing clinical evidence of a negative correlation between IL-32γ and DKK1 as bone metabolic markers.

Multiple organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation after spinal cord injury: a complex relationship. J Neuroinflammation 2016; 13:260.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating event that results in significant physical disabilities for affected individuals. Apart from local injury within the spinal cord, SCI patients develop a variety of complications characterized by multiple organ dysfunction or failure. These disorders, such as neurogenic pain, depression, lung injury, cardiovascular disease, liver damage, kidney dysfunction, urinary tract infection, and increased susceptibility to pathogen infection, are common in injured patients, hinder functional recovery, and can even be life threatening. Multiple lines of evidence point to pathological connections emanating from the injured spinal cord, post-injury systemic inflammation, and immune suppression as important multifactorial mechanisms underlying post-SCI complications. SCI triggers systemic inflammatory responses marked by increased circulation of immune cells and pro-inflammatory mediators, which result in the infiltration of inflammatory cells into secondary organs and persistence of an inflammatory microenvironment that contributes to organ dysfunction. SCI also induces immune deficiency through immune organ dysfunction, resulting in impaired responsiveness to pathogen infection. In this review, we summarize current evidence demonstrating the relevance of inflammatory conditions and immune suppression in several complications frequently seen following SCI. In addition, we highlight the potential pathways by which inflammatory and immune cues contribute to multiple organ failure and dysfunction and discuss current anti-inflammatory approaches used to alleviate post-SCI complications. A comprehensive review of this literature may provide new insights into therapeutic strategies against complications after SCI by targeting systemic inflammation.

Abstract
HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients have a 3-fold increased fracture incidence compared to uninfected patients. The impact of HCV therapy on bone health is unclear. We evaluated bone turnover markers (BTM) in well-controlled (HIV RNA <50 copies/ml) HIV/HCV-coinfected patients who received pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) in ACTG trial A5178. Early virologic responders (EVR: ≥2 log HCV RNA drop at week 12) continued PEG-IFN/RBV and non-EVRs were randomized to continuation of PEG-IFN alone or observation. We assessed changes in C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX; bone resorption marker) and procollagen type I intact N-terminal propeptide (P1NP; bone formation marker), and whether BTM changes were associated with EVR, complete early virologic response (cEVR: HCV RNA <600 IU/ml at week 12), or PEG-IFN treatment. A total of 192 subjects were included. After 12 weeks of PEG-IFN/RBV, CTX and P1NP decreased: −120 pg/ml and −8.48 μg/liter, respectively (both p < 0.0001). CTX declines were greater in cEVR (N = 91; vs. non-cEVR (N = 101; p = 0.003). From week 12 to 24, CTX declines were sustained among EVR patients who continued PEG-IFN/RBV (p = 0.027 vs. non-EVR) and among non-EVR patients who continued PEG-IFN alone (p = 0.022 vs. Observation). Median decreases of P1NP in EVR vs. non-EVR were similar at weeks 12 and 24. PEG-IFN-based therapy for chronic HCV markedly reduces bone turnover. It is unclear whether this is a direct IFN effect or a result of HCV viral clearance, or whether they will result in improved bone mineral density. Further studies with IFN-free regimens should explore these questions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteomyelitis is a serious complication in oral and maxillofacial surgery affecting bone healing. Bone remodeling is not only controlled by cellular components but also by ionic and molecular composition of the extracellular fluids in which calcium phosphate salts are precipitated in a pH dependent manner. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of pH on self-renewal, osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). METHODS We selected three different pH values; acidic (6.3, 6.7), physiological (7.0-8.0) and severe alkaline (8.5). MSCs were cultured at different pH ranges, cell viability measured by WST-1, apoptosis detected by JC-1, senescence was analyzed by β-galactosidase whereas mineralization was detected by Alizarin Red and osteogenic differentiation analyzed by Real-time PCR. RESULTS Self-renewal was affected by pH as well as matrix mineralization in which pH other than physiologic inhibited the deposition of extracellular matrix but did not affect MSCs differentiation as osteoblast markers were upregulated. The expression of osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase activity was upregulated whereas osteopontin was downregulated under acidic pH. CONCLUSION pH affected MSCs self-renewal and mineralization without influencing osteogenic differentiation. Thus, future therapies, based on shifting acid-base balance toward the alkaline direction might be beneficial for prevention or treatment of osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Several inflammatory diseases have been associated with increased bone resorption and fracture rates and different studies supported the relation between inflammatory cytokines and osteoclast activity. The main factor required for osteoclast activation is the stimulation by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) expressed on osteoblasts. In this context, interleukin- (IL-) 1β, one of the most powerful proinflammatory cytokines, is a strong stimulator of in vitro and in vivo bone resorption via upregulation of RANKL that stimulates the osteoclastogenesis. The resulting effects lead to an imbalance in bone metabolism favouring bone resorption and osteoporosis. In this paper, we review the available literature on the role of IL-1β in the pathogenesis of bone loss. Furthermore, we analysed the role of IL-1β in bone resorption during rheumatic diseases and, when available, we reported the efficacy of anti-IL-1β therapy in this field.

Constitutive activation of IKK2/NF-κB impairs osteogenesis and skeletal development. PLoS One 2014; 9:e91421.

Abstract
Pathologic conditions impair bone homeostasis. The transcription factor NF-κB regulates bone homeostasis and is central to bone pathologies. Whereas contribution of NF-κB to heightened osteoclast activity is well-documented, the mechanisms underlying NF-κB impact on chondrocytes and osteoblasts are scarce. In this study, we examined the effect of constitutively active IKK2 (IKK2ca) on chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation. We show that retroviral IKK2ca but not GFP, IKK2WT, or the inactive IKK2 forms IKK2KM and IKK2SSAA, strongly suppressed osteogenesis and chondrogenesis, in vitro. In order to explore the effect of constitutive NF-κB activation on bone formation in vivo, we activated this pathway in a conditional fashion. Specifically, we crossed the R26StopIKK2ca mice with mice carrying the Col2-cre in order to express IKK2ca in osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Both chondrocytes and osteoblasts derived from Col2Cre/IKK2ca expressed IKK2ca. Mice were born alive yet died shortly thereafter. Histologically, newborn Col2Cre+/RosaIKK2ca heterozygotes (Cre+IKK2ca_w/f (het)) and homozygotes (Cre+IKK2ca_f/f (KI)) showed smaller skeleton, deformed vertebrate and reduced or missing digit ossification. The width of neural arches, as well as ossification in vertebral bodies of Cre+IKK2ca_w/f and Cre+IKK2ca_f/f, was reduced or diminished. H&E staining of proximal tibia from new born pups revealed that Cre+IKK2ca_f/f displayed disorganized hypertrophic zones within the smaller epiphysis. Micro-CT analysis indicated that 4-wk old Cre+IKK2ca_w/f has abnormal trabecular bone in proximal tibia compared to WT littermates. Mechanistically, ex-vivo experiments showed that expression of differentiation markers in calvarial osteoblasts derived from newborn IKK2ca knock-in mice was diminished compared to WT-derived cells. In situ hybridization studies demonstrated that the hypertrophic chondrocyte marker type-X collagen, the pre-hypertrophic chondrocyte markers Indian hedgehog and alkaline phosphatase, and the early markers Aggrecan and type-II collagen were reduced in Cre+IKK2ca_w/f and Cre+IKK2ca_f/f mice. Altogether, the in-vitro, in vivo and ex-vivo evidence suggest that IKK2ca perturbs osteoblast and chondrocyte maturation and impairs skeletal development.

Abstract
Management of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is puzzling, and therapeutic choices can be complicated, due to both wide genetic heterogeneity and protean clinical phenotype. We report on a 35-year-old female who was diagnosed with TRAPS, after finding the V95M mutation on the TNFRSF1A gene; who was treated in order with etanercept, anakinra, and canakinumab (150 mg/every 8 weeks by subcutaneous injection, then increased to 150 mg every 4 weeks); and who started therapy with oral alendronate (70 mg/weekly) to control her osteoporosis. Alendronate combined with canakinumab led to the optimal clinical control of all TRAPS manifestations and normalization of inflammatory markers. Further studies should be performed to clarify bisphosphonates' role in the scenery of autoinflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is increasingly reported in the aging HIV-positive population, and co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) may further increase the risk of osteoporosis. However, it remains unclear whether HCV-related increased fracture risk is a function of the severity of liver disease. We calculated the time-updated alanine aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) score (an indirect marker of hepatic fibrosis) in all HIV-infected patients enrolled in the Veterans Affairs' Clinical Case Registry between 1984 and 2009. The association between HCV co-infection and incident osteoporotic fracture (defined as closed wrist, vertebral, or hip fracture) was assessed in univariate and multivariate Cox survival models adjusting for traditional risk factors for osteoporosis and APRI score or the presence of cirrhosis. A total of 772 osteoporotic fractures were identified among 56,660 HIV-infected patients (98.1% male; 31.3% HCV co-infected; median age 44.0 years) contributing 305,237 patient-years of follow-up. Fracture rates were significantly higher among HIV/HCV patients than HIV-only patients (2.57 versus 2.07/1000 patient-years, relative risk = 1.24, p < 0.0001). In a Cox multivariable model including age, race, smoking, drug use, body mass index, and antiretroviral therapy, HCV co-infection remained an independent predictor of osteoporotic fractures after controlling for presence of cirrhosis (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.32; p <0.001) or APRI score (HR = 1.30; p = 0.003). Among HIV/HCV co-infected patients, cirrhosis strongly predicted osteoporotic fractures (HR = 1.65; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-2.44; p = 0.012), but APRI score was a weaker predictor (HR = 1.008; 95% CI 1.002-1.014; p = 0.015). In conclusion, among HIV-infected patients, severity of liver disease partly explains the HCV-associated increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. Other determinants of this increased risk remain to be defined.

Abstract
Bone metastasis, the leading cause of breast cancer-related deaths, is characterized by bone degradation due to increased osteoclastic activity. In contrast, mechanical stimulation in healthy individuals upregulates osteoblastic activity, leading to new bone formation. However, the effect of mechanical loading on the development and progression of metastatic breast cancer in bone remains unclear. Here, we developed a new in vivo model to investigate the role of skeletal mechanical stimuli on the development and osteolytic capability of secondary breast tumors. Specifically, we applied compressive loading to the tibia following intratibial injection of metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB231) into the proximal compartment of female immunocompromised (SCID) mice. In the absence of loading, tibiae developed histologically-detectable tumors with associated osteolysis and excessive degradation of the proximal bone tissue. In contrast, mechanical loading dramatically reduced osteolysis and tumor formation and increased tibial cancellous mass due to trabecular thickening. These loading effects were similar to the baseline response we observed in non-injected SCID mice. In vitro mechanical loading of MDA-MB231 in a pathologically relevant 3D culture model suggested that the observed effects were not due to loading-induced tumor cell death, but rather mediated via decreased expression of genes interfering with bone homeostasis. Collectively, our results suggest that mechanical loading inhibits the growth and osteolytic capability of secondary breast tumors after their homing to the bone, which may inform future treatment of breast cancer patients with advanced disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Prevention of bone mineral density loss in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with use of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). However, in this study, we could not demonstrate a reduction in the risk of non-vertebral fractures. Additional research is required to clarify the impact of biologic DMARDs on fracture risk in RA. INTRODUCTION Small studies have suggested biologic DMARDs preserve bone mineral density at 6-12 months. Our objective was to determine the association between biologic DMARD use and the risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures in RA subjects aged ≥50 years. METHODS A nested case-control study was conducted using Quebec physician billing and hospital discharge data. RA subjects were identified from International Classification of Disease-9/10 codes in billing and hospitalisation data and followed from cohort entry until the earliest of non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture, death, or end of study period. Controls were matched to cases (4:1 ratio) on age, sex, and date of cohort entry. Biologic DMARD exposure was defined as being on treatment for ≥180 days pre-fracture (index). Conditional logistic regression was used, adjusting for indicators of RA severity, comorbidity, drugs influencing fracture risk, and measures of health care utilisation. RESULTS Over the study period, 1,515 cases were identified (6,023 controls). The most frequent fracture site was hip/femur (42.3%). In total, 172 subjects (49 cases and 123 controls) were exposed to biologic DMARDs. The median duration of exposure was 735 (interquartile range (IQR), 564) and 645 (IQR, 903) days in cases and controls, respectively. We were unable to demonstrate an association between biologic DMARDs and fracture risk (odds ratio, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, 0.42-2.53). RA duration significantly increased the fracture risk. CONCLUSIONS Despite the positive impact of biologic DMARDs on bone remodelling observed in small studies, we were unable to demonstrate a reduction in the risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures in older adults with RA.

Abstract
The transcription factor NF-κB is a family of proteins involved in signaling pathways essential for normal cellular functions and development. Deletion of various components of this pathway resulted with abnormal skeletal development. Research in the last decade has established that NF-κB signaling mediates RANK ligand-induced osteoclastogenesis. Consistently, it was shown that inhibition of NF-κB was an effective approach to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorptive activity. Identification of the molecular machinery underlying NF-κB activation permitted osteoclast-specific deletion of the major components of this pathway. As a result, it was clear that deletion of members of the proximal IKK kinase complex and the distal NF-κB subunits and downstream regulators affected skeletal development. These studies provided several targets of therapeutic intervention in osteolytic diseases. NF-κB activity has been also described as the centerpiece of inflammatory responses and is considered a potent mediator of inflammatory osteolysis. Indeed, inflammatory insults exacerbate physiologic RANKL-induced NF-κB signals leading to exaggerated responses and to inflammatory osteolysis. These superimposed NF-κB activities appear to underlie several bone pathologies. This review will describe the individual roles of NF-κB molecules in bone resorption and inflammatory osteolysis.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to investigate the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), bone microstructure, and mechanical indices of the distal radius in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We report a cross-sectional study of 66 middle-aged female RA patients and 66 age-matched healthy females. Areal BMD (aBMD) of the hip, lumbar spine, and distal radius was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was performed at the distal radius, yielding vBMD, bone microstructure, and mechanical indices. Cortical and trabecular vBMD were 3.5% and 10.7% lower, respectively, in RA patients than controls, despite comparable aBMD. Trabecular microstructural indices were -5.7% to -23.1% inferior, respectively, in RA patients compared to controls, with significant differences in trabecular bone volume fraction, separation, inhomogeneity, and structural model index. Cortical porosity volume and percentage were 128% and 93% higher, respectively, in RA patients, with stress being distributed more unevenly. Fourteen RA patients had exaggerated periosteal bone apposition primarily affecting the ulnovolar aspect of the distal radius. These particular patients were more likely to have chronic and severe disease and coexisting wrist deformity. The majority of the differences in density and microstructure between RA patients and controls did not depend on menstrual status. Recent exposure to glucocorticoids did not significantly affect bone density and microstructure. HR-pQCT provides new insight into inflammation-associated bone fragility in RA. It detects differences in vBMD, bone microstructure, and mechanical indices that are not captured by DXA. At the distal radius, deterioration in density and microstructure in RA patients involved both cortical and trabecular compartments. Excessive bone resorption appears to affect cortical more than trabecular bone at distal radius, particularly manifested as increased cortical porosity. Ulnovolar periosteal apposition of the distal radius is a feature of chronic, severe RA with wrist deformity.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are pharmacological compounds that have been used for the prevention and treatment of several pathological conditions including osteoporosis, primary hyperparathyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta, and other conditions characterized by bone fragility. Many studies have been performed to date to analyze their effects on inflammation and bone remodelling and related pathologies. The aim of this review is, starting from a background on inflammatory processes and bone remodelling, to give an update on the use of bisphosphonates, outlining the possible side effects and proposing new trends for the future. Starting from a brief introduction on inflammation and bone remodelling, we collect and analyze studies involving the use of bisphosphonates for treatment of inflammatory conditions and pathologies characterized by bone loss. Selected articles, including reviews, published between 1976 and 2011, were chosen from Pubmed/Medline on the basis of their content. Bisphosphonates exert a selective activity on inflammation and bone remodelling and related pathologies, which are characterized by an excess in bone resorption. They improve not only skeletal defects, but also general symptoms. Bisphosphonates have found clinical application preventing and treating osteoporosis, osteitis deformans (Paget's disease of bone), bone metastasis (with or without hypercalcaemia), multiple myeloma, primary hyperparathyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta, and other conditions that feature bone fragility. Further clinical studies involving larger cohorts are needed to optimize the dosage and length of therapy for each of these agents in each clinical field in order to be able to maximize their properties concerning modulation of inflammation and bone remodelling. In the near future, although "old" bisphosphonates will reach the end of their patent life, "new" bisphosphonates will be designed to specifically target a pathological condition.

Abstract
Inflammatory arthritis is a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is associated with local joint destruction and systemic bone loss. Osteoclasts, the only cells of the body able to resorbe bone, are key players in these two types of bone loss. Bisphosphonates are analogs of pyrophosphate that inhibit osteoclast action and bone resorption. They are indicated in pathology associated with excess resorption. Besides their effect on bone they also exhibit extra-osseous properties, acting on tumor cells, inflammation and angiogenesis. As a result, they have been trialed in the context of arthritis. It is now clear that they do not have any significant direct effect on disease activity or pain. If their indication in the prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is clear, any beneficial effects on bone erosions are still controversial but interesting preliminary results warrant further investigations.

Abstract
Bone is a tissue undergoing continuous building and degradation. This remodelling is a tightly regulated process that can be disturbed by many factors, particularly hormonal changes. Chronic inflammation can also perturb bone metabolism and promote increased bone loss. Inflammatory diseases can arise all over the body, including in the musculoskeletal system (for example, rheumatoid arthritis), the intestine (for example, inflammatory bowel disease), the oral cavity (for example, periodontitis) and the lung (for example, cystic fibrosis). Wherever inflammatory diseases occur, systemic effects on bone will ensue, as well as increased fracture risk. Here, we discuss the cellular and signalling pathways underlying, and strategies for therapeutically interfering with, the inflammatory loss of bone.

Abstract
Bone health is an emerging concern in the early breast cancer setting. Current adjuvant therapies, especially hormonal therapies in premenopausal patients (e.g. goserelin) and aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal patients, have been associated with substantial decreases in bone mineral density that may place patients at risk for fractures. Bisphosphonates--and the recently approved anti-RANKL antibody, denosumab--have both demonstrated activity for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL) in breast cancer patients, although neither has received widespread approval specifically for CTIBL. However, some bisphosphonates, especially the nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate zoledronic acid, have also demonstrated clinically meaningful anticancer effects in patients receiving adjuvant hormonal therapy for breast cancer and in other oncology settings. The effects of denosumab on cancer disease outcomes in the adjuvant setting remain to be established. This discrepancy has created a dilemma in terms of how to evaluate the complete benefit:risk profile of bone-health management options in the adjuvant breast cancer setting. This review summarises the current data on the course of cancer in clinical trials of the antiresorptive agents and provides important insight into the relative anticancer potential of the various therapies.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is widely utilized for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, recent observation of the MTX-resistant patients proposed some difficulty in MTX-dependent therapeutic approach for RA. To access cellular events related to MTX resistance in RA in respect to inflammatory bone destruction, we investigated on an involvement of the potent inflammatory mediator adenosine in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone destruction. In rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA rats), MTX efficiently suppressed bone destruction when it was administrated within 3 days after adjuvant injection, while it could not suppress inflammatory bone destruction if MTX was injected at the time of onset of inflammation (at day 10 after adjuvant injection). Time-course change in the level of plasma adenosine of AA rats was estimated by use of high-performance liquid chromatography and elucidated that adenosine level was markedly elevated till 10 days after adjuvant injection. In vitro bone marrow culture system for evaluating osteoclastogenesis, MTX markedly suppressed osteoclastogenesis in a stromal cell-dependent manner. This MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis was abrogated by the addition of adenosine. MTX suppressed the expression of mRNA for the receptor activator NF-κB ligand (RANKL), but it did not suppress the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG). The addition of MTX and adenosine together markedly suppressed the level of OPG expression. Abolishment of MTX action by adenosine was significantly blocked by MRS1754, a highly selective antagonist for the A(2b) adenosine receptor (A(2b)AR), but not by caffeine, an antagonist for A₁, A(2a), A₃ AR (A₁AR, A(2a)AR, and A₃AR), which suggests that adenosine acts through A(2b)AR. Immunohistochemical studies showed abundant expression of A(2b)AR in cells localized in the bone-bone marrow boundary of the distal tibia in AA rats but not in control rats. When adenosine was injected in the ankle joints of MTX-treated AA rats, the suppressive effects of MTX on bone destruction was abolished. The current data therefore suggest that upregulation of adenosine production abolished the suppressive effect of MTX on osteoclastic bone destruction. Involvement of the adenosine-A(2b)AR system may explain MTX resistance in RA.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) activate one single receptor (PTH1R) which mediates catabolic and anabolic actions in the bone. Activation of PTH1R modulates multiple intracellular signaling responses. We previously reported that PTH and PTHrP down-regulate pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 in differentiated osteoblasts. In this study we investigate the role of MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in PTHrP regulation of ERK1/2 activity in relation to osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and bone formation. Here we show that PTHrP increases MKP-1 expression in differentiated osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, primary cultures of differentiated bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and calvarial osteoblasts. PTHrP had no effect on MKP-1 expression in proliferating osteoblastic cells. Overexpression of MKP-1 in MC-4 cells inhibited osteoblastic cell proliferation. Cell extracts from differentiated MC-4 cells treated with PTHrP inactivate/dephosphorylate pERK1/2 in vitro; immunodepletion of MKP-1 blocked the ability of the extract to dephosphorylate pERK1/2; these data indicate that MKP-1 is involved in PTHrP-induced pERK1/2 dephosphorylation in the differentiated osteoblastic cells. PTHrP regulation of MKP-1 expression is partially dependent on PKA and PKC pathways. Treatment of nude mice, bearing ectopic ossicles, with intermittent PTH for 3weeks, up-regulated MKP-1 and osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, with an increase in bone formation. These data indicate that PTH and PTHrP increase MKP-1 expression in differentiated osteoblasts; and that MKP-1 induces growth arrest of osteoblasts, via inactivating pERK1/2 and down-regulating cyclin D1; and identify MKP-1 as a possible mediator of the anabolic actions of PTH1R in mature osteoblasts.

Abstract
An enhanced rate of bone remodelling fuelled by osteoclastogenesis mediates diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritic bone destruction, Paget's disease and malignancy-induced bone loss. Thus, the control of osteoclastogenesis is of major clinical importance. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK); its ligand, RANKL and decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin, are critical determinants of osteoclastogenesis, and increased RANK signalling is involved in several bone diseases, providing the rationale for RANKL inhibition. The effects of RANKL inhibition are being witnessed in clinical trials of neutralizing fully human monoclonal antibodies that target RANKL (e.g. denosumab) and which induce profound and sustained inhibition of bone resorption. The relative efficacy, cost-effectiveness and side-effects of targeted RANKL inhibition compared with conventional antiresorptive drugs (i.e. bisphosphonates) should be resolved by clinical trials in coming years.

Abstract
Osteoclast differentiation and function is regulated by cellular signals and cytokines that also play significant roles in the immune system. There is much scope, therefore, for immune cell influence on osteoclasts and bone metabolism. Many examples of this have been identified and T cells in particular are a source of factors affecting osteoclast formation and activity, a number which have either pro-osteolytic or anti-osteolytic actions depending on the cellular and microenvironmental context. For example, IL-12 and IL-18 participate in inflammatory processes that can lead to highly destructive osteolysis, yet these cytokines potently block osteoclast formation through mediation of T cells. IL-23 participates in chronic inflammatory processes, but lack of this cytokine results in reduced bone mass in mice, pointing to an influence on physiological regulation of bone mass. Such insights suggest that therapies that target immune responses may significantly influence osteolysis. Investigations into links between the immune system and bone metabolism are thus uncovering important information about the functioning of both systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined a wide array of clinical factors to evaluate their influence on fracture risk and T scores in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and determine if women with RA who are at risk for osteoporosis (OP) are adequately treated with OP medications. METHODS Data from 8419 female RA patients participating in the Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America registry from March 02, 2006 to August 15, 2006 was evaluated. Covariates included medication subgroups, demographic, and clinical parameters. Lumbar spine and hip T scores and fracture rates were studied in relation to the variables. Use of OP medications in patients with OP risk factors was also evaluated. RESULTS Postmenopausal status and higher modified health assessment questionnaire score (mHAQ) had a negative effect on lumbar spine score,while marriage, education, and body mass index had a positive effect. A similar trend was found with hip T scores. Increase in overall fracture risk correlated with postmenopausal status, mHAQ, and prednisone use, while tumor necrosis factor monotherapy was associated with decreased overall fracture risk. mHAQ was also associated with nonhip/nonspine fractures. Eighty percent of patients had at least 1 risk factor for OP, but only 32% were on OP medications. Only 54% of patients with 3 risk factors were on OP medication. CONCLUSIONS In RA, postmenopausal status, mHAQ, and prednisone use were associated with a higher overall fracture risk. Women with RA who were at risk for OP may have been inadequately treated with OP medications.
