Impact of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 and Prostaglandin receptors on osteoblast healing and organization of collagen. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0303202. [PMID: 38753641 PMCID: PMC11098345 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0303202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study seeks to investigate the impact of co-administering either a Prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist or an EP1 receptor antagonist alone with a low dose BMP7 on in vitro healing process, collagen content and maturation of human osteoblasts. METHODOLOGY Human osteoblast cells were used in this study. These cells were cultured and subjected to different concentrations of Prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist, EP1 receptor antagonist, BMP7, Control (Ct) (Vehicle alone), and various combinations treatments. Cell viability at 24, 48 and 72 hours (h) was evaluated using the XTT assay. A wound healing assay was conducted to observe the migration ability of human osteoblast cells. Additionally, Sirius red staining and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Imaging (FT-IR) was employed to analyze various parameters, including total protein concentration, collagen production, mature collagen concentration, and mineral content. RESULTS The combination of low dose BMP7 and Prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist resulted to the lowest cell viability when compared to both the Ct and individual treatments. In contrast, the Prostaglandin EP1 receptor antagonist alone showed the highest cellular viability at 72 h. In the wound healing assay, the combined treatment of low dose BMP7 with the Prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist and EP1 receptor antagonist showed a decrease in human osteoblast healing after 24 h. Analysis of FT-IR data indicated a reduction in total protein content, collagen maturity, collagen concentration and mineral content in combination treatment compared to the single or Ct treatments. CONCLUSION The combination of a Prostaglandin EP2 receptor agonist or an EP1 receptor antagonist when combined with low dose BMP7 significantly hinders both human osteoblast healing and collagen maturity/concentration in comparison to low dose BMP7 treatment alone.

Associations of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with bone mineral density and bone turnover in postmenopausal women. Eur J Nutr 2023; 62:95-104. [PMID: 35908118 PMCID: PMC9899733 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-022-02933-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The immunomodulatory properties of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are reported to reduce bone loss through alteration of bone remodelling and n-3 LCPUFA, therefore, may benefit bone health in post-menopausal women, a vulnerable group at high risk of osteoporosis. METHODS Measures of bone mineral density (BMD) were determined using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 300 post-menopausal women. The bone turnover markers osteocalcin (OC), C-terminal telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX) and total alkaline phosphatase were quantified in serum along with urinary creatinine corrected deoxypyridinoline (DPD/Cr) and CTX/Cr and the CTX:OC ratio calculated. Total serum n-6 PUFA (LA + AA) and n - 3 LCPUFA (ALA + EPA + DPA + DHA) were measured and the n - 6:n - 3 ratio was calculated. RESULTS Mean (SD) age and body mass index (BMI) were 61 (6.4) years and 27.4 (4.8) kg/m2, respectively with participants being 12.6 (7.6) years post-menopause. Multiple regression analysis identified no association between n-3 LCPUFA and any of the measures of T-score or BMD albeit a significant positive association between total n - 3 LCPUFA and femur BMD (β = 0.287; p = 0.043) was observed within those women with a low n - 6:n - 3 ratio. There was a significant inverse association between ALA and urinary DPD/Cr (β = - 0.141; p = 0.016). CONCLUSION A favourable low n - 6:n - 3 ratio was associated with higher femur BMD and a higher n - 3 LCPUFA (ALA) was associated with lower bone resorption. These results support a beneficial role for n - 3 LCPUFA in reducing postmenopausal bone resorption and favourably influencing BMD. TRIAL NUMBER & DATE OF REGISTRATION ISRCTN63118444, 2nd October 2009, "Retrospectively registered".

Abstract
Breast cancer bone metastases (BCBM) result in serious skeletal morbidity. Although there have been important advances in cancer treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy, the complementary treatments, such as α-tocopherol acetate (ATA), still remain of key role via complementary and/or synergistic effects. The aim of this work was to study immune response in a rat model of BCBM due to Walker 256/B cells inoculation and the effect of ATA alone. Compared to the control group (CTRL), rat injected with Walker 256/B cells (5 × 104) in the medullar cavity (W256 group) showed osteolytic damages with marked tumor osteolysis of both cancellous and trabecular bone as assessed by X-ray radiology, micro-computed tomography, and histology. Rats inoculated with Walker 256/B cells and treated with ATA (45 mg/kg BW, W256ATA group) presented marked less tumor osteolysis, less disturbance of Tb.Th and Tb.Sp associated with conversion of rods into plates, and increased structure model index and trabecular pattern factor (Tb.Pf). Elsewhere, 3D frequency distributions of Tb.Th and Tb.Sp were highly disturbed in metastatic W256 rats. Overexpression of some genes commonly associated with cancer and metastatic proliferation: COX-2, TNF-α, and pro-inflammatory interleukins 1 and 6 was outlined. ATA alleviated most of the Walker 256/B cells-induced microarchitectural changes in the target parameters without turning back to normal levels. Likewise, it alleviates the BCSM-induced overexpression of COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6. In silico approach showed that ATA bound these proteins with high affinities, which satisfactory explain its beneficial effects. In conclusion, BCBM is associated with bone microarchitectural disorders and an immune response characterized by an overexpression of some key role genes in cancer proliferation and invasion. ATA exerted favorable effects on trabecular bone distribution and morphology, which may involve the COX-2, TNF-α, and ILs pathways.

Endosomal TLR3 signaling in stromal osteoblasts induces prostaglandin E 2-mediated inflammatory periodontal bone resorption. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101603. [PMID: 35101442 PMCID: PMC8892075 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that play a critical role in innate immune diseases. TLR3, which is localized in the endosomal compartments of hematopoietic immune cells, is able to recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) derived from viruses and bacteria and thereby induce innate immune responses. Inflammatory periodontal bone resorption is caused by bacterial infections, which initially is regulated by innate immunity; however, the roles of TLR3 signaling in bone resorption are still not known. We examined the roles of TLR3 signaling in bone resorption using poly(I:C), a synthetic dsRNA analog. In cocultures of mouse bone marrow cells and stromal osteoblasts, poly(I:C) clearly induced osteoclast differentiation. In osteoblasts, poly(I:C) increased PGE2 production and upregulated the mRNA expression of PGE2-related genes, Ptgs2 and Ptges, as well as that of a gene related to osteoclast differentiation, Tnfsf11. In addition, we found that indomethacin (a COX-2 inhibitor) or an antagonist of the PGE2 receptor EP4 attenuated the poly(I:C)-induced PGE2 production and subsequent Tnfsf11 expression. Poly(I:C) also prolonged the survival of the mature osteoclasts associated with the increased mRNA expression of osteoclast marker genes, Nfatc1 and Ctsk. In ex vivo organ cultures of periodontal alveolar bone, poly(I:C) induced bone-resorbing activity in a dose-dependent manner, which was attenuated by the simultaneous administration of either indomethacin or an EP4 antagonist. These data suggest that TLR3 signaling in osteoblasts controls PGE2 production and induces the subsequent differentiation and survival of mature osteoclasts. Endogenous TLR3 in stromal osteoblasts and osteoclasts synergistically induces inflammatory alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease associated with severe alveolar bone loss and is dominantly induced by lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria; however, the role of Gram-positive bacteria in periodontal bone resorption remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a major cell-wall factor of Gram-positive bacteria, on the progression of inflammatory alveolar bone loss in a model of periodontitis. In coculture of mouse primary osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, LTA induced osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. LTA enhanced the production of PGE2 accompanying the upregulation of the mRNA expression of mPGES-1, COX-2 and RANKL in osteoblasts. The addition of indomethacin effectively blocked the LTA-induced osteoclast differentiation by suppressing the production of PGE2. Using ex vivo organ cultures of mouse alveolar bone, we found that LTA induced alveolar bone resorption and that this was suppressed by indomethacin. In an experimental model of periodontitis, LTA was locally injected into the mouse lower gingiva, and we clearly detected alveolar bone destruction using 3D-μCT. We herein demonstrate a new concept indicating that Gram-positive bacteria in addition to Gram-negative bacteria are associated with the progression of periodontal bone loss.

Abstract
Background: IGF-1 may be an important factor in bone remodeling, but its mechanism of action on osteoclasts during orthodontic tooth movement is complex and unclear. Methodology: The closed-coil spring was placed between the left maxillary first molar and upper incisors with a force of 50 g to establish an orthodontic movement model. Eighty SD rats were randomized to receive phosphate buffer saline or 400 ng rhIGF-1 in the lateral buccal mucosa of the left maxillary first molar every two days. Tissue sections were stained for tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP), the number of TRAP-positive cells was estimated and tooth movement measured. Results: The rhIGF-1 group exhibited evidential bone resorption and lacuna appeared on the alveolar bone compared to the control group. Moreover, the number of osteoclasts in compression side of the periodontal ligament in the rhIGF-1 group peaked at day 4 (11.37±0.95 compared to 5.28±0.47 in the control group) after the orthodontic force was applied and was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the distance of tooth movement in the rhIGF-1 group was significantly larger than that of the control group from day 4 to day 14 (p<0.01), suggesting that rhIGF-1 accelerated orthodontic tooth movement. Conclusion: Our study has showed that rhIGF-1 could stimulate the formation of osteoclasts in the periodontal ligament, and accelerate bone remodeling and orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line pharmacotherapy for patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). In recent years, treatment options have expanded with the availability of biologic agents, including tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and interleukin-17 inhibitors. However, a treatment strategy that clearly prevents syndesmophyte formation has not been established. Observational studies of patients with ankylosing spondylitis indicated potential disease-modifying effects of NSAIDs, but two randomized trials came to different conclusions. More broadly, whether any of the currently available medications for axial SpA have an effect on spine radiographic progression, beyond symptom control, remains inconclusive. In this article, we will review clinical studies of the disease modification effects of NSAIDs and biologics in axial SpA; examine genetic, animal, and clinical evidence of the effects of NSAIDs on bone formation; and discuss how future studies may investigate the question of disease modification in axial SpA.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex and integrated process that involves mesenchymal progenitor cell (MPC) recruitment, proliferation and differentiation that eventually results in bone regeneration. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important regulator of bone metabolism and has an anabolic effect on fracture healing. Prior work from our laboratory showed EP1-/- mice have enhanced fracture healing, stronger cortical bones, higher trabecular bone volume and increased in vivo bone formation. We also showed that bone marrow MSCs from EP1-/- mice exhibit increased osteoblastic differentiation in vitro. In this study we investigate the changes in the periosteal derived MPCs (PDMPCs), which are crucial for fracture repair, upon EP1 deletion. EP1-/- PDMPCs exhibit increased numbers of total (CFU-F) and osteoblastic colonies (CFU-O) as well as enhanced osteoblastic and chondrogenic differentiation. Moreover, we tested the possible therapeutic application of a specific EP1 receptor antagonist to accelerate fracture repair. Our findings showed that EP1 antagonist administration to wild type mice in the early stages of repair similarly resulted in enhanced CFU-F, CFU-O, and osteoblast differentiation in PDMPCs and resulted in enhanced fracture callus formation at 10 days post fracture and increased bone volume and improved biomechanical healing of femur fractures at 21 days post fracture.

The crosstalk between malignant and nonmalignant cells in the tumor microenvironment, as maneuvered by cytokines/chemokines, drives breast cancer progression. In our previous study, we discovered Osteoprotegerin (OPG) as one of the cytokines heavily secreted by breast cancer cells. We demonstrated that OPG is expressed and secreted at very high levels from the highly invasive breast cancer cell lines SUM149PT and SUM1315MO2 as compared to normal human mammary epithelial HMEC cells. OPG was involved in modulating aneuploidy, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis in breast cancer. Mass spectrometry analysis performed in this study revealed OPG interacts with fatty acid synthase (FASN), which is a key enzyme of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway in breast cancer cells. Further, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and fluorescence quantitation assays highlighted the presence of a large number of lipid bodies (lipid droplets) in SUM149PT and SUM1315MO2 cells in comparison to HMEC. We recently showed upregulation of the COX-2 inflammatory pathway and its metabolite PGE2 secretion in SUM149PT and SUM1315MO2 breast cancer cells. Interestingly, human breast cancer tissue samples displayed high expression of OPG, PGE2 and fatty acid synthase (FASN). FASN is a multifunctional enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis. Immunofluorescence staining revealed the co-existence of COX-2 and FASN in the lipid bodies of breast cancer cells. We reasoned that there might be crosstalk between OPG, FASN, and COX-2 that sustains the inflammatory pathways in breast cancer. Interestingly, knocking down OPG by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in breast cancer cells decreased FASN expression at the protein level. Here, we identified cis-acting elements involved in the transcriptional regulation of COX-2 and FASN by recombinant human OPG (rhOPG). Treatment with FASN inhibitor C75 and COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib individually decreased the number of lipid bodies/cell, downregulated phosphorylation of ERK, GSK3β, and induced apoptosis by caspase-3/7 and caspase-9 activation. But a more efficient and effective decrease in lipid bodies/cell and survival kinase signaling was observed upon combining the drug treatments for the aggressive cancer cells. Collectively, the novel biological crosstalk between OPG, FASN, and COX-2 advocates for combinatorial drug treatment to block these players of carcinogenesis as a promising therapeutic target to treat highly invasive breast cancer.

Abstract
The Janus kinases (Jaks) are hubs in the signaling process of more than 50 cytokine or hormone receptors. However, the function of Jak in bone metabolism remains to be elucidated. Here, we showed that the inhibition of Jak1 and/or Jak2 in osteoblast-lineage cells led to impaired osteoclastogenesis due to the reduced expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Murine calvaria-derived osteoblasts induced differentiation of bone marrow cells into osteoclasts in the presence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in vitro. However, treatment with the Jak1/2 inhibitor, baricitinib, markedly inhibited osteoclastogenesis in the co-culture. On the other hand, baricitinib did not inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow macrophages. These results indicated that baricitinib acted on osteoblasts, but not on bone marrow macrophages. Baricitinib suppressed 1,25D3 and PGE2-induced up-regulation of RANKL in osteoblasts, but not macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression. Moreover, the addition of recombinant RANKL to co-cultures completely rescued baricitinib-induced impairment of osteoclastogenesis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of Jak1 or Jak2 also suppressed RANKL expression in osteoblasts and inhibited osteoclastogenesis. Finally, cytokine array revealed that 1,25D3 and PGE2 stimulated secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-11, and leukemia inhibitory factor in the co-culture. Hence, Jak1 and Jak2 represent novel therapeutic targets for osteoporosis as well as inflammatory bone diseases including rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors capable of differentiation into osteoblasts and can potentially serve as a source for cell-based therapies for bone repair. Many factors have been shown to regulate MSC differentiation into the osteogenic lineage such as the Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2)/Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling pathway that is critical for bone repair. PGE2 binds four different receptors EP1-4. While most studies focus on the role PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4 in MSC differentiation, our study focuses on the less studied, receptor subtype 1 (EP1) in MSC function. Recent work from our laboratory showed that EP1-/- mice have enhanced fracture healing, stronger cortical bones, higher trabecular bone volume and increased in vivo bone formation, suggesting that EP1 is a negative regulator of bone formation. In this study, the regulation of MSC osteogenic differentiation by EP1 receptor was investigated using EP1 genetic deletion in EP1-/- mice. The data suggest that EP1 receptor functions to maintain MSCs in an undifferentiated state. Loss of the EP1 receptor changes MSC characteristics and permits stem cells to undergo more rapid osteogenic differentiation. Notably, our studies suggest that EP1 receptor regulates MSC differentiation by modulating MSC bioenergetics, preventing the shift to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by maintaining high Hif1α activity. Loss of EP1 results in inactivation of Hif1α, increased oxygen consumption rate and thus increased osteoblast differentiation. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 4383-4393, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Destruction of cementum and alveolar bone is the main causative event for the exfoliation of teeth as a consequence of periodontitis. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and PGE receptor subtypes (EPs) play an important role in modulating osteoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis; however, no information is available on the role of PGE2 and EPs in regulating cementoblast-mediated cementoclastogenesis. We hypothesized that the PGE2-EPs pathway also regulates cementoblasts’ ability to activate cementoclasts. For these studies, OCCM-30 cells (a mouse cementoblast cell line) were exposed to PGE2 and specific EP agonists. PGE2 (100 ng/mL) and EP4 agonist (1 μM) up-regulated RANKL and IL-6 mRNA levels, while they down-regulated OPG mRNA expression. The EP4 antagonist (1 μM) eliminated these effects of PGE2. PGE2 treatment of co-cultures of OCCM-30 cells with bone marrow cells induced TRAP-positive cells via the EP4 pathway. These findings suggest that PGE2 promotes cementoblast-mediated cementoclastogenesis by regulating the expression of RANKL and OPG via the EP4 pathway.

Abstract
During physiological conditions, the skeleton is remodeled in so-called bone multi-cellular units. Such units have been estimated to exist at 1–2 x 106 sites in the adult skeleton. The number and activities of these units are regulated by a variety of hormones and cytokines. In post-menopausal osteoporosis, lack of estrogen leads to increased numbers of bone multi-cellular units and to uncoupling of bone formation and bone resorption, resulting in too little bone laid down by osteoblasts compared with the amount of bone resorbed by osteoclasts. Inflammatory processes in the vicinity of the skeleton, e.g., marginal and apical periodontitis, will affect the remodeling of the nearby bone tissue in such a way that, in most patients, the amount of bone resorbed exceeds that being formed, resulting in net bone loss (inflammation-induced osteolysis). In some patients, however, inflammation-induced bone formation exceeds resorption, and a sclerotic lesion will develop. The cellular and molecular pathogenetic mechanisms in inflammation-induced osteolysis and sclerosis are discussed in the present review. The cytokines believed to be involved in inflammation-induced remodeling are very similar to those suggested to play crucial roles in post-menopausal osteoporosis. In patients with periodontal disease and concomitant post-menopausal osteoporosis, the possibility exists that the lack of estrogen influences the activities of bone cells and immune cells in such a way that the progression of alveolar bone loss will be enhanced. In the present paper, the evidence for and against this hypothesis is presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in periodontal ligament (PDL) cells co-cultured with dental pulp (DP) cells following mechanical stress in vitro. Furthermore, the expression of prostaglandin (PG) E2 and substance P (SP) by the PDL cells and by the DP cells were also examined. DESIGN PDL and DP cells were obtained from 10 rats. The experimental group consisted of PDL cells subjected to centrifugal force as mechanical stress and co-cultured with DP cells. The 3 control groups of PDL cells were: 1) PDL cells without mechanical stress, 2) PDL cells treated with mechanical stress and 3) PDL cells co-cultured with DP cells. The 2 control groups of DP cells were: 1) DP cells without mechanical stress and 2) DP cells co-cultured with PDL cells. In each group, both cells were examined at day 1 and day 3, and mRNA levels of RANKL by PDL cells were analyzed using Real time quantitative Reverse Transcription (RT)-PCR. Furthermore, RANKL expression was observed using Immunofluorescence staining. PGE2 and SP expression levels by PDL cells and DP cells were characterized by ELISA analysis. RESULTS The expression of RANKL by PDL cells under mechanical stress increased by co-culture with DP cells. PGE2 and SP expressions were increased in the group of PDL cells subjected to mechanical stress and co-cultured with DP cells. CONCLUSION DP cells may facilitate the expression of RANKL in PDL cells under mechanical stress via PGE2 and SP.

Abstract
Multiple factors contribute to bone loss in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but circulating inflammatory factors and immobilization play a crucial role. Mechanical loading prevents bone loss in the general population, but the effects of mechanical loading in patients with RA are less clear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether mechanical stimuli reverse the stimulatory effect of RA serum on osteocyte-to-osteoclast communication. Human primary osteocytes were pretreated with 10 % RA serum or healthy control serum for 7 days, followed by 1 h ± mechanical loading by pulsating fluid flow (PFF). Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 were measured in the medium. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), matrix-extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE), cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61), and SOST gene expression was quantified by qPCR. Osteoclast precursors were cultured with PFF-conditioned medium (PFF-CM) or static-conditioned medium (stat-CM), and osteoclast formation was assessed. RA serum alone did not affect IL-6, CYR61, COX2, MEPE, or SOST gene expression in osteocytes. However, RA serum enhanced the RANKL/OPG expression ratio by 3.4-fold, while PFF nullified this effect. PFF enhanced NO production to the same extent in control serum (2.6-3.5-fold) and RA serum-pretreated (2.7-3.6-fold) osteocytes. Stat-CM from RA serum-pretreated osteocytes enhanced osteoclastogenesis compared with stat-CM from control serum-pretreated osteocytes, while PFF nullified this effect. In conclusion, RA serum, containing inflammatory factors, did not alter the intrinsic capacity of osteocytes to sense mechanical stimuli, but upregulated osteocyte-to-osteoclast communication. Mechanical loading nullified this upregulation, suggesting that mechanical stimuli could contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis in inflammatory disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the isolated and combined effects of compression and hypoxia on the osteoclastogenesis induced by periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A periodontal ligament tissue model (PDLtm) was established by 3-D culturing human PDLCs on a thin sheet of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid scaffold. The PDLtm was treated with hypoxia and/or compression for 6, 24, or 72 hours. After that, a real-time polymerase chain reaction was used for gene expression analysis. The conditioned media were used for the coculture of osteoblast and osteoclast (OC) precursors; tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was done to examine OC formation. RESULTS Either compression or hypoxia alone significantly up-regulated the gene expression of pro-osteoclastogenic cytokines in the PDLtm and enhanced osteoclastogenesis in the cocultures, and the combination of the two had significantly stronger effects than either stimulation alone. In addition, comparing the two stimulants, we found that the osteoclastogenic property of the PDLCs peaked earlier (at 6 hours) in the compression group than in the hypoxia group (at 24 hours). CONCLUSIONS Both compressive force and hypoxia may take part in initiating osteoclastogenesis in orthodontic tooth movement and may have combinatory effects, which could update our concepts of the mechanisms involved in the initiation of bone resorption on the pressure side of the tooth in question.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are responsible for physiological bone remodeling as well as pathological bone destruction in osteoporosis, periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis, and thus represent a pharmacological target for drug development. We aimed to characterize and compare the cytokine-induced osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow and spleen precursors. Established protocols used to generate osteoclasts from bone marrow were modified to examine osteoclastogenesis of the spleen cells of healthy mice. Osteoclast formation was successfully induced from spleen precursors using receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (50 ng/ml) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (50 ng/ml). Compared to bone marrow cultures, differentiation from spleen required a longer cultivation time (9 days for spleen, as compared to 5 days for marrow cultures) and a higher plating density of non-adherent cells (75,000/cm(2) for spleen, as compared to 50,000/cm(2) for bone marrow). Osteoclasts generated from spleen precursors expressed osteoclast marker genes calcitonin receptor, cathepsin K and matrix metalloproteinase 9 and were capable of resorbing hydroxyapatite. The differentiation capacity of spleen and bone marrow precursors was comparable for BALB/c, C57BL/6 and FVB mice. We also developed and tested a cryopreservation protocol for the osteoclast precursors. While 70-80 % of cells were lost during the first week of freezing, during the subsequent 5 weeks the losses were within 2-5 % per week. Osteoclastogenesis from the recovered bone marrow precursors was successful up to 5 weeks after freezing. Spleen precursors retained their osteoclastogenic capacity for 1 week after freezing, but not thereafter. The described protocol is useful for the studies of genetically modified animals as well as for screening new osteoclast-targeting therapeutics.

Abstract
Periosteum provides a major source of mesenchymal progenitor cells for bone fracture repair. Combining cell-specific targeted Cox-2 gene deletion approaches with in vitro analyses of the differentiation of periosteum-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (PDMPCs), here we demonstrate a spatial and temporal role for Cox-2 function in the modulation of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of periosteal progenitors in fracture repair. Prx1Cre-targeted Cox-2 gene deletion in mesenchyme resulted in marked reduction of intramembraneous and endochondral bone repair, leading to accumulation of poorly differentiated mesenchyme and immature cartilage in periosteal callus. In contrast, Col2Cre-targeted Cox-2 gene deletion in cartilage resulted in a deficiency primarily in cartilage conversion into bone. Further cell culture analyses using Cox-2 deficient PDMPCs demonstrated reduced osteogenic differentiation in monolayer cultures, blocked chondrocyte differentiation and hypertrophy in high density micromass cultures. Gene expression microarray analyses demonstrated downregulation of a key set of genes associated with bone/cartilage formation and remodeling, namely Sox9, Runx2, Osx, MMP9, VDR and RANKL. Pathway analyses demonstrated dysregulation of the HIF-1, PI3K-AKT and Wnt pathways in Cox-2 deficient cells. Collectively, our data highlight a crucial role for Cox-2 from cells of mesenchymal lineages in modulating key pathways that control periosteal progenitor cell growth, differentiation, and angiogenesis in fracture repair.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD), a decellularized porcine extracellular matrix (ECM), is used clinically in periodontal tissue regeneration. Amelogenin, EMD’s principal component, spontaneously assembles into nanospheres in vivo, forming an ECM complex that releases proteolytically cleaved peptides. However, the role of amelogenin or amelogenin peptides in mediating osteoblast response to EMD is not clear. Human MG63 osteoblast-like cells or normal human osteoblasts were treated with recombinant human amelogenin or a 5 kDa tyrosine-rich amelogenin peptide (TRAP) isolated from EMD and the effect on osteogenesis, local factor production, and apoptosis assessed. Treated MG63 cells increased alkaline phosphatase specific activity and levels of osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, prostaglandin E2, and active/latent TGF-β1, an effect sensitive to the effector and concentration. Primary osteoblasts exhibited similar, but less robust, effects. TRAP-rich 5 kDa peptides yielded more mineralization than rhAmelogenin in osteoblasts in vitro. Both amelogenin and 5 kDa peptides protected MG63s from chelerythrine-induced apoptosis. The data suggest that the 5 kDa TRAP-rich sequence is an active amelogenin peptide that regulates osteoblast differentiation and local factor production and prevents osteoblast apoptosis.

Abstract
Prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) is a lipid mediator synthesized from arachidonic acid that directly activates two specific receptors, the D-type prostanoid (DP) receptor and chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on T-helper type 2 cells (CRTH2). PGD(2) can affect bone metabolism by influencing both osteoblast and osteoclast (OC) functions, both cells involved in bone remodeling and in in vivo fracture repair as well. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of PGD(2), acting through its two specific receptors, on human OC apoptosis. Human OCs were differentiated in vitro from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the presence of receptor activator for nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and treated with PGD(2), its specific agonists and antagonists. Treatment with PGD(2) for 24hours in the presence of naproxen (10μM) to inhibit endogenous prostaglandin production increased the percentage of apoptotic OCs in a dose-dependent manner, as did the specific CRTH2 agonist compound DK-PGD(2) but not the DP agonist compound BW 245C. In the absence of naproxen, the CRTH2 antagonist compound CAY 10471 reduced OC apoptosis rate but the DP antagonist BW A868C had no effect. The induction of PGD(2)-CRTH2 dependent apoptosis was associated with the activation of caspase-9, but not caspase-8, leading to caspase-3 cleavage. These data show that PGD(2) induces human OC apoptosis through activation of CRTH2 and the apoptosis intrinsic pathway.

Abstract
Bone diseases are characterized by the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines that regulate bone turnover. The receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) is a soluble osteoblast-derived protein that induces bone resorption through osteoclast differentiation and activation. Sargachromanol G (SG) was isolated from the brown algae Sargassum siliquastrum; SG has anti-osteoclastogenic activity, but its mechanism of action and its active components remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of SG on the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced osteoclastogenic factors (PGE(2), COX-2, IL-6, OPG, and RANKL) in the human osteoblast cell line MG-63. We also examined the role of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in IL-1β-stimulated MG-63 cells. SG dose-dependently inhibited the production of osteoclastogenic factors in MG-63 cells. SG also inhibited phosphorylation of MAPK (ERK1/2, p38, and JNK) and NF-κB (p65, p50, and IκB-α). These results suggest that the anti-osteoporotic effect of SG may be because of the modulation of osteoclastogenic factors via suppression of MAPK and NF-κB activation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Age at menarche (AAM), the time of the first menstrual bleeding, is an important developmental milestone in the female life. It marks the beginning of the reproductive period. AAM is implicated in the risk of many health complications in later life. In this study, we conducted an analysis for association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and common haplotypes of two candidate genes, RANK (receptor activator of the NF-κB) and RANKL (receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand), with AAM in 825 unrelated Chinese women. METHODS In total, 73 SNPs of RANKL and 23 SNPs of RANK were genotyped. The SNPs and common haplotypes were then analyzed for their association with AAM. Age and age( 2 ) were used as covariates. RESULTS We found five individual SNPs (rs7239261, rs8094884, rs3826620, rs8089829, and rs9956850) of RANK significantly associated with AAM (p < 0.05). Although no significant association was identified for the RANKL gene, three polymorphisms showed nearly significant (0.05 < p < 0.08) association with AAM. Seven haplotypes of RANK were significantly associated with AAM (p < 0.05); the most significant association of the AT haplotype composed by rs1805034 and rs4524034 (p = 9.4 × 10(-4)) remained significant (p = 0.0235) after the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. Three haplotypes of RANKL were significantly associated with AAM (p < 0.05). Importantly, the association of rs3826620 replicated our previous findings for Caucasian females. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that the RANK and RANKL are two candidate genes for AAM in Chinese women.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is a progressive deterioration of bone around prostheses resulting primarily from the presence of wear debris. Particulate material, number, and their interactions with environmental factors play important roles in macrophage activation around implants. We have previously shown that macrophages cultured in the presence of high numbers of cleaned titanium (Ti) particles released significant amounts of PGE₂ that is potentially detrimental for bone. Cleaning of particles has become routine in most studies of macrophage/particle interactions as contaminating endotoxin elicits a macrophage cytokine response and since numerous studies have suggested that endotoxins may be present on implant materials. However, the strenuous cleaning procedure itself represents a possible source of other contaminants (such as material by-products) that may be relevant to the prostanoid response of macrophages. To analyze this hypothesis, the macrophage response to high numbers of cleaned Ti particles was compared to that of unclean particles and to particles that were subjected to a short version of the cleaning procedure. It was found that neither the high amount of endotoxin on the unclean particles nor the duration of the cleaning procedure had an effect on the release of PGE₂ and the decrease in cell viability in response to high number of Ti particles. Evidence of a possible relationship between these two variables is presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from periodontal pathogens is one of the main causes of alveolar bone destruction. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) produced by host cells after LPS stimulation may contribute to the bone destruction. PGE(2) regulates osteoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis via PGE-specific receptor 4 (EP4). We examined the effects of the PGE(2)-EP4 pathway on the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related factors and studied the inhibitory effect of orally administered EP4-specific antagonist (EP4A) on LPS-induced bone destruction compared to complete inhibition of endogenous PGE(2) by indomethacin (IND). METHODS ST2 cells were treated with IND or EP4A and stimulated by LPS. The mRNA expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin in ST2 cells were examined by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. LPS-induced bone destruction was examined using a rat model for the periodontal tissue destruction with topically applied LPS. RESULTS IND and EP4A inhibited the upregulation of TNF-α mRNA expression, and only EP4A inhibited IL-6 and RANKL mRNA expressions in ST2 cells with LPS stimulation. Topically applied LPS induced a two-phase increase in osteoclasts along the alveolar bone margin, peaking after 3 hours and 3 days. Oral administration of EP4A and IND downregulated the later phase increase of osteoclasts. However, the early phase of increase at 3 hours was upregulated in IND-treated rats but not in EP4A-treated rats. CONCLUSION It appears that the PGE(2)-EP4 pathway has an important role in LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis, and the specific blocking of the PGE(2)-EP4 pathway by EP4A can effectively downregulate bone destruction caused by LPS without an unexpected increased number of osteoclasts.

Abstract
Particle-wear-induced inflammatory osteolysis remains a major problem for the long-term success of total joint arthroplasty. Previous studies have demonstrated that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is expressed abundantly in the tissue around a failed implant. However, the role of COX-2 in the development of particle-wear-induced osteoclastogenesis remains unclear. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that Dynastat, a COX-2 inhibitor, ameliorates particle-wear-induced inflammatory osteoclastogenesis through the down-regulation of the receptor activators of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) and nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in a murine osteolysis model. Titanium (Ti) particles were introduced into established air pouches in BALB/c mice, followed by the implantation of calvaria bone from syngeneic littermates. Dynastat was given to mice intraperitoneally 2 days before the introduction of Ti particles and maintained until the mice were sacrificed. Pouch tissues were collected 14 days after Ti inoculation for molecular and histological analysis. The results showed that Dynastat has more impact on Ti-particle-induced prostaglandin E(2) expression and less on the expression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. Dynastat inhibited Ti-particle-induced osteoclastogenesis by reducing the gene activation of RANK and RANKL, and diminishing the RANKL expression in Ti-particle-charged pouches. Dynastat markedly reduced the number of tartrate-resistant acid-phosphatase-positive cells in pouch tissues stimulated by Ti particles. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that Dynastat can markedly inhibit Ti-particle-induced osteoclastogenesis by the down-regulation of RANK/RANKL in a murine air pouch model, and is a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles.

Abstract
It is now more than 15 years since the molecular structures of the major prostanoid receptors were elucidated. Since then, substantial progress has been achieved with respect to distribution and function, signal transduction mechanisms, and the design of agonists and antagonists (http://www.iuphar-db.org/DATABASE/FamilyIntroductionForward?familyId=58). This review systematically details these advances. More recent developments in prostanoid receptor research are included. The DP(2) receptor, also termed CRTH2, has little structural resemblance to DP(1) and other receptors described in the original prostanoid receptor classification. DP(2) receptors are more closely related to chemoattractant receptors. Prostanoid receptors have also been found to heterodimerize with other prostanoid receptor subtypes and nonprostanoids. This may extend signal transduction pathways and create new ligand recognition sites: prostacyclin/thromboxane A(2) heterodimeric receptors for 8-epi-prostaglandin E(2), wild-type/alternative (alt4) heterodimers for the prostaglandin FP receptor for bimatoprost and the prostamides. It is anticipated that the 15 years of research progress described herein will lead to novel therapeutic entities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A major challenge in clinical periodontics is to find a reliable molecular marker of periodontal tissue destruction with high sensitivity, specificity and utility. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate available literature on 'the utility of molecular markers of soft and hard periodontal tissue destruction'. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on the focused question, 'What is the utility of molecular markers of soft and hard periodontal tissue destruction', an electronic and manual search was conducted for human studies presenting clinical data for the potential of molecular markers of tissue destruction in biofluids; gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), saliva, and serum. RESULTS Papers fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. All relevant data from the selected papers were extracted and recorded in separate tables for molecules in GCF, saliva, and serum. CONCLUSION Within the defined limits of the Problem/Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, the present analysis reveals that (a) no single or combination of markers exists that can disclose periodontal tissue destruction adequately; (b) while the most fruitful source of biomarkers for periodontal destruction appears to be in molecules tightly related to bone and soft tissue destruction, this remains to be objectively demonstrated. Currently, clinical measurements are still the most reliable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Menarche and menopause mark the lower and upper limits of the female reproductive period. The timing of these events influences women's health in later life. The onsets of menarche and menopause have a strong genetic basis. We tested two genes, TNFRSF11A (RANK) and TNFSF11 (RANKL), for their association with age at menarche (AM) and age at natural menopause (ANM). METHODS Nineteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TNFRSF11A and 12 SNPs of TNFSF11 were genotyped in a random sample of 306 unrelated white women. This sample was analyzed for the association of the SNPs and common haplotypes with AM. Then, a subsample of 211 women with natural menopause was analyzed for the association of both genes with ANM. Smoking, alcohol intake, and duration of lactation were applied as covariates in the association analyses. RESULTS Three polymorphisms of TNFSF11 were associated with AM: rs2200287 (P = 0.005), rs9525641 (P = 0.039), and rs1054016 (P = 0.047). Two SNPs of this gene, rs346578 and rs9525641, showed an association with ANM (P = 0.007 and P = 0.011, respectively). Two SNPs of TNFRSF11A were associated with AM (rs3826620; P = 0.022) and ANM (rs8086340; P = 0.015). Multiple SNP-SNP and SNP-environment interaction effects on AM and ANM were detected for both genes. One polymorphism of TNFRSF11A, rs4436867, was not directly associated with either trait but indicated significant interactions with four TNFSF11 polymorphisms on ANM. Two other TNFRSF11A polymorphisms, rs4941125 and rs7235803, showed interaction effects with several TNFSF11 polymorphisms on AM. Both genes manifested significant interaction with the duration of breast-feeding in their effect on ANM. CONCLUSIONS The TNFRSF11A and TNFSF11 genes are associated with the onset of AM and ANM in white women.

Abstract
The RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway is essential for bone remodeling regulation. Many hormones and cytokines are involved in regulating gene expression in most of the pathway components. Moreover, any deregulation of this pathway can alter bone metabolism, resulting in loss or gain of bone mass. Whether osteoblasts from osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic patients respond differently to cytokines is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of interleukin (IL)-1beta, proftaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) treatments on OPG and RANKL gene expression in normal (n = 11) and osteoporotic (n = 8) primary osteoblasts. OPG and RANKL mRNA levels of primary human osteoblastic (hOB) cell cultures were assessed by real-time PCR. In all cultures, OPG mRNA increased significantly in response to IL-1beta treatment and decreased in response to TGF-beta1 whereas PGE(2) treatment had no effect. RANKL mRNA levels were significantly increased by all treatments. Differences in OPG and RANKL responses were observed between osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic hOB: in osteoporotic hOB, the OPG response to IL-1beta treatment was up to three times lower (P = 0.009), whereas that of RANKL response to TGF-beta1 was five times higher (P = 0.002) after 8 h of treatment, as compared with those in nonosteoporotic hOBs. In conclusion, osteoporotic hOB cells showed an anomalous response under cytokine stimulation, consistent with an enhanced osteoclastogenesis resulting in high levels of bone resorption.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) knockout (KO) mice in inbred strains can have renal dysfunction with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), making direct effects of COX-2 KO on bone difficult to assess. COX-2 KO mice in an outbred CD-1 background did not have renal dysfunction but still had two-fold elevated PTH compared to wild type (WT) mice. Compared to WT mice, KO mice had increased serum markers of bone turnover, decreased femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and cortical bone thickness, but no differences in trabecular bone volume by microCT or dynamic histomorphometry. Because PTH is a potent inducer of COX-2 and prostaglandin (PG) production, we examined the effects of COX-2 KO on bone responses after 3 weeks of intermittent PTH. Intermittent PTH increased femoral BMD and cortical bone area more in KO mice than in WT mice and increased trabecular bone volume in the distal femur in both WT and KO mice. Although not statistically significant, PTH-stimulated increases in trabecular bone tended to be greater in KO mice than in WT mice. PTH increased serum markers of bone formation and resorption more in KO than in WT mice but increased the ratio of osteoblastic surface-to-osteoclastic surface only in KO mice. PTH also increased femoral mineral apposition rates and bone formation rates in KO mice more than in WT mice. Acute mRNA responses to PTH of genes that might mediate some anabolic and catabolic effects of PTH tended to be greater in KO than WT mice. We conclude that (1) the basal bone phenotype in male COX-2 KO mice might reflect HPTH, COX-2 deficiency or both, and (2) increased responses to intermittent PTH in COX-2 KO mice, despite the presence of chronic HPTH, suggest that absence of COX-2 increased sensitivity to PTH. It is possible that manipulation of endogenous PGs could have important clinical implications for anabolic therapy with PTH.

Abstract
Both Wnt signaling and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) play pivotal roles in bone development, remodeling, osteoporosis and prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastases. We investigated the effects of PGE(2) on Wnt signaling in osteoblast-lineage cells and Wnt-inhibitor expression in PCa cells. We demonstrate that low dose PGE(2) (0.1 microM) promotes Wnt signaling while higher doses of PGE(2) (1.0-10 microM) inhibit these same parameters in osteoblast-lineage cells. The differential effects of low vs high-dose PGE(2) on pre-osteoblasts may be attributed to dose-dependent modulation of prostaglandin receptor (EP) subtype expression; with lower doses increasing the expression the cAMP-stimulatory EP4 receptor subtype and higher doses increasing the expression of the cAMP-inhibitory EP3 receptor subtype. Moreover, we demonstrate that high expression levels of COX-2 and PGE(2) promote the secretion of Wnt inhibitors from prostate cancer cells. These data demonstrate that there are dose-dependent effects of PGE(2) on Wnt activation in osteoblast-lineage cells and Wnt-inhibitor expression in PCa cells which may have clinical implications in the management.

Abstract
Bone loss is an important clinical issue in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Whether the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) plays a direct role in bone cell function is yet unknown. In this study, we provide evidence that inhibition of CFTR-Cl(-) channel function results in a significant decrease of osteoprotegerin (OPG) secretion accompanied with a concomitant increase of prostaglandin (PG) E(2) secretion of primary human osteoblast cultures (n=5). Our data therefore suggest that in bone cells of CF patients, the loss of CFTR activity may result in an increased inflammation-driven bone resorption (through both the reduced OPG and increased PGE(2) production), and thus might contribute to the early bone loss reported in young children with CF.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is the most common cause of aseptic loosening in total joint arthroplasty. The role of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and osteoclast promoting factors including RANKL in the pathogenesis of osteolysis has been well characterized. However, the PGE2 receptor (EP1, EP2, or EP4), and cell type in which it is expressed, which is responsible for PGE2 induction of RANKL during wear debris-induced osteolysis, has yet to be elucidated. To address this, we used mice genetically deficient in these EP receptors to assess PGE2 and wear debris responses in vitro and in vivo. Wear debris-induced osteolysis and RANKL expression were observed at similar levels in WT, EP1(-/-), and EP2(-/-) mice, indicating that these receptors do not mediate PGE2 signals in this process. A conditional knockout approach was used to eliminate EP4 expression in FSP1(+) fibroblasts that are the predominant source of RANKL. In the absence of EP4, fibroblasts do not express RANKL after stimulation with particles or PGE2, nor do they exhibit high levels of osteoclasts and osteolysis. These results show that periprosthetic fibroblasts are important mediators of osteolysis through the expression of RANKL, which is induced after PGE2 signaling through the EP4 receptor.

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 enhances PGE(2)-stimulated osteoclast formation in murine bone marrow cultures. Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 2009; 90:76-80.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is used clinically to stimulate bone formation and accelerate fracture repair. Adding prostaglandin (PG) E(2) or PGE(2) receptor agonists to BMP-2 has been proposed to improve BMP-2 efficacy. However, this may enhance bone resorption, since PGE(2) can increase receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) expression and decrease osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression in osteoblasts, and the RANKL:OPG ratio is critical for osteoclast formation. We used bone marrow (BM) cultures and BM macrophage (BMM) cultures from outbred CD1 mice to examine effects on osteoclast formation of BMP-2 and PGE(2). In BM cultures, which contain both osteoblastic and osteoclastic lineage cells, BMP-2 (100 ng/ml) alone did not increase osteoclast formation but enhanced the peak response to PGE(2) by 1.6-9.6-fold. In BMM cultures, which must be treated with RANKL because they do not contain osteoblastic cells, BMP-2 did not increase osteoclast formation, with or without PGE(2). Our results suggest that BMP-2 can increase osteoclast formation in response to PGE(2) by increasing the RANKL:OPG ratio in osteoblasts, which may have therapeutic implications for the use of BMP-2.

Abstract
Because global deletion of the prostaglandin EP4 receptor results in neonatal lethality, we generated a mouse with targeted EP4 receptor deletion using Cre-LoxP methodology and a 2.3 kb collagen I a1 promoter driving Cre recombinase that is selective for osteoblastic cells. We compared wild type (WT), global heterozygote (G-HET), targeted heterozygote (T-HET) and knockout (KO) mice. KO mice had one targeted and one global deletion of the EP4 receptor. All mice were in a mixed background of C57BL/6 and CD-1. Although there were one third fewer G-HET or KO mice at weaning compared to WT and T-HET mice, G-HET and KO mice appeared healthy. In cultures of calvarial osteoblasts, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in cells from WT mice, and this effect was significantly decreased in cells from either G-HET or T-HET mice and further decreased in cells from KO mice. A selective agonist for EP4 receptor increased ALP activity and osteocalcin mRNA levels in cells from WT but not KO mice. A selective COX-2 inhibitor, NS-398, decreased osteoblast differentiation in WT but not KO cells. At 15 to 18 months of age there were no differences in serum creatinine, calcium, PTH, body weight or bone mineral density among the different genotypes. Static and dynamic histomorphometry showed no consistent changes in bone volume or bone formation. We conclude that expression of the EP4 receptor in osteoblasts is critical for anabolic responses to PGE(2) in cell culture but may not be essential for maintenance of bone remodeling in vivo.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins (PGs), which play a significant role in health and disease in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and in the renal, skeletal, and ocular systems. COX-1 is constitutively expressed and found in most normal tissues, whereas COX-2 can be expressed at low levels in normal tissues and is highly induced by pro-inflammatory mediators. Inhibitors of COX activity include: (1) conventional nonselective, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ns-NSAIDs) and (2) COX-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (COX-2 s-NSAIDs). Inhibition of COX-1 often elicits GI toxicity in animals and humans. Therefore, COX-2 s-NSAIDs were developed to provide a selective COX-2 agent, while minimizing the attendant COX-1-mediated GI toxicities. Rats and dogs overpredict COX inhibition for renal effects such as renal handling of electrolytes in humans. COX inhibitors are shown to have both beneficial and detrimental effects, such as on healing of ligament or tendon tears, on the skeletal system in animal models. Certain ophthalmic conditions such as glaucoma and keratitis are associated with increased COX-2 expression, suggesting a potential role in their pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common human joint disease. Recent studies suggest that an abnormal subchondral bone metabolism is intimately involved in the genesis of this disease. Bone remodelling is tightly regulated by a molecular triad composed of OPG/RANK/RANKL. RANKL exists as 3 isoforms: RANKL1, 2, and 3. RANKL1 and 2 enhance osteoclastogenesis whereas RANKL3 inhibits this phenomenon. We previously reported that human OA subchondral bone osteoblasts can be discriminated into two subgroups according to their level of PGE2 [low (L) or high (H)]. Moreover, we also showed that L-OA osteoblasts express higher levels of total RANKL compared to H-OA osteoblasts. In this study, we investigated the level of membranous RANKL, comparing L- and H-OA subchondral bone osteoblasts, as well as its modulation by osteotropic factors. The impact of the modulation of RANKL1 and 3 on the membranous RANKL level was also studied. METHODS Gene expression was determined using real-time PCR for RANKL1 and semi-quantitative PCR for RANKL3. Membranous RANKL was measured by flow cytometry. The modulation of membranous RANKL and RANKL isoforms was monitored on the L- and H-OA osteoblasts and also following treatment with osteotropic factors, including vitamin D3 (50 nM), IL-1beta (100 pg/ml), TNF-alpha (5 ng/ml), PGE2 (500 nM), PTH (100 nM), IL-6 (10 ng/ml) and IL-17 (10 ng/ml). RESULTS Membranous RANKL levels were significantly increased in L-OA osteoblasts compared to normal (p<0.01) and H-OA (p<0.05). The gene expression level of the RANKL1 profile was reminiscent of the membranous RANKL level. Although RANKL3 gene expression was lower on the H-OA osteoblasts than on normal and L-OA osteoblasts (p<0.03), the overall outcome favoured RANKL1. Treatment with the tested factors showed a significant increase in membranous RANKL on the L-OA osteoblasts, with the exception of PTH and IL-17. Interestingly in this subpopulation, the RANKL3 gene expression level was significantly increased upon PTH and IL-17 treatment. No effect of the tested osteotropic factors was found on the H-OA. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that the normal, L- and H-OA subchondral bone osteoblasts differentially express membranous RANKL and RANKL isoforms, and that treatment with osteotropic factors generally favours increased membranous localization of RANKL on L-OA compared to H-OA osteoblasts. This phenomenon appears to take place through differential modulation of each RANKL isoform.

Abstract
The skeleton is a common destination for many cancer metastases including breast and prostate cancer. There are many characteristics of bone that make it an ideal environment for cancer cell migration and colonization. Metaphyseal bone, found at the ends of long bone, in ribs, and in vertebrae, is comprised of trabecular bone interspersed with marrow and rich vasculature. The specialized microvasculature is adapted for the easy passage of cells in and out of the bone marrow. Moreover, the metasphyseal regions of bone are constantly undergoing remodeling, a process that releases growth factors from the matrix. Bone turnover also involves the production of numerous cytokines and chemokines that provide a means of communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, but co-incidentally can also attract and support metastatic cells. Once in the marrow, cancer cells can interact directly and indirectly with osteoblasts and osteclasts, as well as hematopoietic and stromal cells. Cancer cells secrete factors that affect the network of cells in the bone microenvironment as well as interact with other cytokines. Additionally, transient cells of the immune system may join the local mileau to ultimately support cancer cell growth. However, most metastasized cells that enter the bone marrow are transient; a few may remain in a dormant state for many years. Advances in understanding the bone cell-tumor cell interactions are key to controlling, if not preventing metastasis to bone.

Abstract
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) can regulate osteoblast and osteoclast function. We have identified, using cDNA microarray technology, that IL-18 expression is increased in UMR 106-01 rat osteoblastic cells in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment. Confirmation of these data using real-time reverse transcription-PCR showed that steady-state levels of IL-18 mRNA increased by 2 h (3-fold), peaked by 4 h (10-fold), and had diminished after 12 h (4.4-fold) and that this regulation was via the protein kinase A signaling pathway and did not involve activation of the PKC signal cascade. PTH regulation of IL-18 was confirmed at the protein level, and analysis of differentiating primary rat calvarial osteoblasts verified that both IL-18 mRNA and protein are regulated by PTH in primary rat osteoblasts. Promoter reporter assays revealed that PTH regulated the upstream IL-18 promoter and induced the exon 1 containing 1.1-kb IL-18 mRNA transcript in primary osteoblast cells. The in vivo physiological role of IL-18 in the anabolic actions of PTH on bone was then assessed using IL-18 knock-out mice. Female IL-18 null mice and wild-type littermate controls were injected with vehicle or 8 microg/100 g of human 1-38 PTH for 4 weeks. In IL-18 knock-out animals the anabolic effect of PTH (determined by bone mineral density changes in the proximal tibia) was abolished in trabecular bone but not in the cortical component. These data characterize the PTH regulation of IL-18 expression in osteoblastic cells and suggest that this cytokine is involved in the anabolic actions of PTH.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN An experimental animal study aimed at achieving posterolateral intertransverse process fusion with rhBMP-2 in combination with the local delivery of an EP4 receptor agonist. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an EP4 receptor agonist (EP4A) can reduce the amount of BMP required to achieve posterolateral spinal fusion in rabbits. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA In the clinic, BMP retaining implants are used for spinal fusion and the treatment of pseudarthrosis after long bone fracture. However, the requirement of high doses of BMP-2 for bone formation in humans makes the implants expensive and limits their use in the clinic. Previous studies in our laboratory using a new delivery system involving a synthetic polymer/beta-TCP powder composite had shown it was possible to reduce the total BMP-2 amount to 30 microg per fusion in a rabbit model. To further reduce the dose of BMP required for a successful fusion, we explored the use of a chemical compound to enhance the bone-inducing action of BMP-2. METHODS In order to prepare 1 implant to bridge the unilateral L5 and L6 transverse processes, 300 mg of polymer gel (PLA-DX-PEG block copolymer), 300 mg of beta-TCP powder, rhBMP-2 (7.5, 3.75, or 0 microg), with or without EP4A (45 microg) were mixed and manually shaped to resemble a rod. Through a posterolateral approach, 2 implants were placed on both sides (1 per side) by surgery in order to bridge the transverse processes of adult New Zealand white rabbits (n = 48). The lumbar vertebrae were recovered 6 weeks after surgery. The posterolateral fusion was examined by manual palpation, radiography, biomechanical testing, and histology. RESULTS All of 8 rabbits that received 7.5 microg of BMP-2 and EP4A consistently showed fusion by significant amount of new bone formation. However, solid fusion was seen in only 3 of 8 rabbits that received 7.5 microg of BMP-2 without the EP4 receptor agonist. CONCLUSION Local administration of an EP4 receptor agonist enhanced the bone-inducing activity of BMP-2 in a rabbit posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion model and as a result, the dose of BMP-2 required for this outcome was reduced by 50% compared with our previous report. The coadministration of this compound via a local delivery system may help to reduce the costs of spine fusion with use of BMP-2 in the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fracture-healing is impaired in mice lacking a functional cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene or in rats continuously treated with COX-2 inhibitors. These observations indicate that COX-2 is a critical regulator of fracture repair. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to treat pain associated with musculoskeletal trauma and disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit COX-2 function and in so doing can impair fracture-healing. The goal of the present study was to determine how variations in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy ultimately affect fracture-healing. METHODS Closed femoral fractures were made in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were treated with different doses of celecoxib (a COX-2-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) or were treated for different periods before or after fracture with celecoxib. Eight weeks after the fracture, healing was assessed with radiography and destructive torsional mechanical testing. The effect of celecoxib treatment on fracture callus prostaglandin E2 and F(2alpha) levels was determined as a measure of cyclooxygenase activity. RESULTS Celecoxib doses as small as 2 mg/kg/day reduced fracture callus mechanical properties and caused a significant increase in the proportion of nonunions. Similarly, treatment with celecoxib at a dose of 4 mg/kg/day for just five days reduced fracture callus mechanical properties and significantly increased the proportion of nonunions. Conversely, celecoxib therapy prior to fracture or initiated fourteen days after fracture did not significantly increase the proportion of nonunions. Celecoxib treatment at a dose of 4 mg/kg/day reduced fracture callus prostaglandin E2 and F(2alpha) levels by >60%. CONCLUSIONS COX-2-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy during the early stages of fracture repair significantly reduced fracture callus mechanical properties at later stages of healing and increased the proportion of nonunions in this animal model.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is expressed in 40% of human invasive breast cancers. Bone is the predominant site of metastasis in case of breast cancer. We investigated the role of COX-2 in a suitable mouse model of breast cancer metastasis to bone using the whole-body luciferase imaging of cancer cells. We provide several lines of evidence that COX-2 produced in breast cancer cells is important for bone metastasis in this model including (1) COX-2 transfection enhanced the bone metastasis of MDA-435S cells and (2) breast cancer cells isolated and cultured from the bone metastases produced significantly more prostaglandin E(2) (an important mediator of COX-2) than the parental injected cell populations of breast cancer cells. Next, we found that a COX-2 inhibitor, MF-tricyclic, inhibited bone metastasis caused by a bone-seeking clone both in prevention regimen (in which case mice started receiving MF-tricyclic 1 week before the injection of cancer cells) and in treatment regimen (in which case mice received MF-tricyclic after the development of bone metastasis). These studies indicate that COX-2 produced in breast cancer cells may be vital to the development of osteolytic bone metastases in patients with breast cancer, and that COX-2 inhibitors may be useful in halting this process.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening remains the primary cause of failure in total joint arthroplasty. Implant-derived particles are thought to be a main cause of osteolysis that leads to failure of total joint arthroplasty. The nervous system has been implicated in the etiology and pathogenesis of joint diseases. Substance P (SP) immunoreactive nerve fibers have been detected in the pseudomembrane and pseudocapsular tissues of aseptic loose hip prostheses, suggesting that SP might be involved in the process of aseptic loosening. Fibroblasts are abundant in periprosthetic membrane. Neuropeptides are able to modulate cytokine production by fibroblasts. In this study, we isolated fibroblasts from periprosthetic membrane at the time of revision hip arthroplasty performed because of aseptic loosening. Fibroblasts were stimulated with titanium (Ti) particles or SP. Prostaglandin (PG) E2 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) assays were performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. PGE2 and IL-6 secretion by fibroblasts have been significantly increased in the presence of Ti particles or SP. Moreover SP caused significant increase in PGE2 and IL-6 production by Ti particles-stimulated fibroblasts. Thus, SP and Ti particles acted synergistically to increase PGE2 and IL-6 secretion in fibroblasts from periprosthetic membrane.
