Abstract
Osteoporosis risk increases in menopausal individuals owing to the decrease in estrogen secretion. Blackcurrant extract (BCE) ameliorates osteoporosis; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Furthermore, although BCE has phytoestrogenic activity, its effects on osteoblasts are unknown. In the present study, we investigated BCE-mediated attenuation of osteoporosis using mouse MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts, with a focus on osteogenesis. After treating MC3T3-E1 cells with BCE for 48 h, cell proliferation was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8. Levels of osteoblast differentiation markers, namely alkaline phosphatase activity and total collagen content in the cells, were evaluated after 3 and 14 days of BCE treatment, respectively. The expression of genes encoding osteoblast differentiation markers, including collagen type I (Col-I), alkaline phosphatase (Alp), bone γ-carboxyglutamate protein (Bglap), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), was evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Mineralization of the cells was evaluated using Alizarin Red staining. Femoral tissues of ovariectomized (OVX) rats with or without 3% BCE were stained using ALP to evaluate osteogenic differentiation in femoral tissue. After treating MC3T3-E1 cells with BCE, cell proliferation had increased. BCE treatment increased Alp activity and total collagen content. Moreover, the expression of Col-I, Alp, Bglap, and Runx2 increased in BCE-treated cells. Furthermore, when MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with BCE for 21 days, the levels of calcified nodules increased. Alp staining intensity was stronger in the epiphyses on femoral tissue of OVX rats treated with 3% BCE than in those of untreated OVX rats. The results suggest that BCE may promote osteogenesis by inducing osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone health and body composition share several common mechanisms like oxidative stress and inflammation. Anthocyanins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We have reported that anthocyanins are associated with better body composition in children, but the associations with bone health have not been elucidated. We aimed to explore the association of anthocyanins with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) at multiple sites in children. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 452 Chinese children aged 6-9 years were recruited. A validated 79-item food frequency questionnaire was used to collect dietary information. BMC and BMD at multiple sites (whole body; whole body excluding head, WBEH; limbs; arms; legs) were measured by dual-energy X-ray. RESULTS Higher dietary intake of total anthocyanidins (per one standard deviation increase) was associated with a 1.28-13.6 g (1.31-1.60%, compared to median) higher BMC at all sites and a 3.61-6.96 mg (0.65-0.90%) higher BMD at the whole body, WBEH, and arm sites after controlling for a number of possible covariates. The results were similar and more pronounced for cyanidin, but not for delphinidin and peonidin. Higher dietary intake of cyanidin (per one standard deviation increase) was associated with a 1.33-15.4 g (1.48-1.68%) higher BMC at all sites and a 4.15-7.77 mg (0.66-1.00%) higher BMD at all sites except the legs. No statistically significant associations with BMC or BMD were found for dietary intake of delphinidin and peonidin. CONCLUSIONS Higher dietary intake of total anthocyanidins and cyanidins were associated with higher BMC and BMD in Chinese children.

Abstract
The maintenance of bone is dependent on both osteoclasts, which break down bone, and osteoblasts, which build new bone. Various bone-related disorders, including osteoporosis, can occur as a result of an imbalance between these two cell types. Prolonged use of currently available bone resorption inhibitors may show side effects. Therefore, developing a novel preventive material which effectively inhibits osteoclast differentiation could be beneficial. This study planned to investigate the inhibitory effect of wheat sprout ethanolic extracts (Saegeumgang [SGG] and Arriheuk [ARH]) on the differentiation of osteoclasts induced by RANKL, as well as the mechanisms why fundamental to these effects. The effects of SGG and ARH on bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation were evaluated using RAW 264.7 cells and assessed through TRAP cell count, pit formation, and activity. The expressions of mRNA and protein were accomplished using western blotting, and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses were conducted. SGG and ARH were found to suppress osteoclast differentiation in RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells without causing cytotoxic effects. In addition, treatment with SGG and ARH led to a reduction in the number of cells with positive staining for TRAP and TRAP activity. SGG and ARH treatment dose-dependently decreased the pit area in pit formation assays, showing a notable reduction compared to the pit area created by mature osteoclasts. SGG and ARH inhibited osteoclast activity by 84.9% and 95.7% at 200 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, SGG and ARH suppressed the transcriptional activation of various osteoclast-related genes, such as RANK, NFATc1, cathepsin K, c-Fos, TRAP, matrix metallopeptidase-9, dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein, ATPase H+ transporting v0 subunit d2, and osteoclast-associated receptor in RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL. SGG and ARH extracts were found to affect the expression of NFATc1 and genes that are specific to osteoclasts during osteoclast differentiation, suggesting their potential use as functional foods or as therapeutic interventions targeting bone health.

Phytochemical Compounds Involved in the Bone Regeneration Process and Their Innovative Administration: A Systematic Review. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:2055. [PMID: 37653972 PMCID: PMC10222459 DOI: 10.3390/plants12102055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Bone metabolism is a complex process which is influenced by the activity of bone cells (e.g., osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts); the effect of some specific biomarkers (e.g., parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, osterix, RANKL, Runx2); and the characteristic signaling pathways (e.g., RANKL/RANK, Wnt/β, Notch, BMP, SMAD). Some phytochemical compounds-such as flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, anthocyanins, terpenoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids and others-presented a beneficial and stimulating effect in the bone regeneration process due to the pro-estrogenic activity, the antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory effect and modulation of bone signaling pathways. Lately, nanomedicine has emerged as an innovative concept for new treatments in bone-related pathologies envisaged through the incorporation of medicinal substances in nanometric systems for oral or local administration, as well as in nanostructured scaffolds with huge potential in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Skeletal disabilities are a prominent burden on the present population with an increasing life span. Advances in osteopathy have provided various medical support for bone-related diseases, including pharmacological and prosthesis interventions. However, therapeutics and post-surgery complications are often reported due to side effects associated with modern-day therapies. Thus, therapies utilizing natural means with fewer toxic or other side effects are the key to acceptable interventions. Flavonoids constitute a class of bioactive compounds found in dietary supplements, and their pharmacological attributes have been well appreciated. Recently, flavonoids' role is gaining renowned interest for its effect on bone remodeling. A wide range of flavonoids has been found to play a pivotal role in the major bone signaling pathways, such as wingless-related integration site (Wnt)/β-catenin, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)/transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), etc. However, the reduced bioavailability and the absorption of flavonoids are the major limitations inhibiting their use against bone-related complications. Recent utilization of nanotechnological approaches and other delivery methods (biomaterial scaffolds, micelles) to target and control release can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of flavonoids. Thus, we have tried to recapitulate the understanding of the role of flavonoids in regulating signaling mechanisms affecting bone remodeling and various delivery methods utilized to enhance their therapeutical potential in treating bone loss.

A Comparison of the Antiosteoporotic Effects of Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Extracts from Red and Yellow Fruits Containing Different Constituents of Polyphenols and Iridoids in Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4122253. [PMID: 36225173 PMCID: PMC9550449 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4122253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Methods Polyphenolic and iridoid constituents of extracts were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the ultraperformance liquid chromatography system coupled with a quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. Primary cultured osteoblasts isolated from mouse calvarias and osteoclast-lineage primary cultured monocytes isolated from mouse bone marrow were used for the assessment of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation. In the osteoblast culture, cellular viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, and mRNA expression of Alpl and Runx2 were examined. In the osteoclast culture, the examined parameters were cellular viability, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and staining, and mRNA expression of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Acp. Results A total of 41 main compounds of iridoids, anthocyanins, hydrolysable tannins, phenolic acids, and flavonols were identified in the three extracts. RED EXT1 contained most of the tested polyphenols and iridoids and was the only extract containing anthocyanins. YL EXT2 contained only one iridoid, loganic acid and gallic acid. YL EXT3 comprised a mixture of iridoids and polyphenols. RED EXT1, YL EXT 2, and to a lesser extent YL EXT3 promoted osteoblast differentiation increasing significantly ALP activity and the amount of ALP-positive stained cells. All extracts upregulated mRNA expression of Alpl and Runx2. RED EXT1 caused the most significant decrease in TRAP activity and the numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells. RED EXT1 caused also the most significant downregulation of mRNA expression of osteoclast related genes Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Acp5. Extracts from yellow fruits, mostly YL EXT2 caused lower, but still significant inhibitory effect on TRAP and osteoclast related genes. Conclusions The main conclusion of our study is that all three extracts, especially RED EXT1 from red cornelian cherry fruits, possess the antiosteoporotic potential and may be a promising phytomedicine candidate for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) is the most widely distributed anthocyanin and it can reportedly reduce the risk of osteoporosis, but the molecular mechanism by which C3G promotes bone formation is poorly understood. In the current study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to investigate the mechanism of action of C3G in osteogenesis. MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblasts were divided into a C3G (100 μmol/L)-treated group and a vehicle-treated control group, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in groups were evaluated via RNA-seq analysis. The functions of the DEGs were evaluated by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses, and the genes were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. The RNA-seq analysis identified 34 genes that were upregulated in C3G-treated cells compared to vehicle-treated cells, and 17 that were downregulated GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that these genes were highly enriched in functions related to lysosomes and glycolipid biosynthesis, among others. The differential expression of ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit C (Atp6v0c), chemokine (C-X3-C motif) ligand 1 (Cx3cl1), and lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus A (Ly6a) genes was validated by quantitative real-time-PCR. Because these genes have been previously implicated in osteoporosis, they are potential target genes of C3G action in MC3T3-E1 cells. These results provide molecular level evidence for the therapeutic potential of C3G in the treatment of osteoporosis and other disorders of bone metabolism.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a musculoskeletal disease with increased fracture risk caused by long-term application of glucocorticoid, but there exist few effective interventions. Zuogui Pill (ZGP) has achieved clinical improvement for GIOP as an ancient classical formula, but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear due to scanty relevant studies. This study aimed to excavate the effective compounds and underlying mechanism of ZGP in treating GIOP and construct relative ceRNA network by using integrated analysis of bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation. Results show that ZNF702P is significantly upregulated in GIOP than normal cases based on gene chip sequencing analysis. Totally, 102 ingredients and 535 targets of ZGP as well as 480 GIOP-related targets were selected, including 122 common targets and 8 intersection targets with the predicted mRNAs. The ceRNA network contains one lncRNA (ZNF702P), 6 miRNAs, and 8 mRNAs. Four hub targets including JUN, CCND1, MAPK1, and MAPK14 were identified in the PPI network. Six ceRNA interaction axes including ZNF702P-hsa-miR-429-JUN, ZNF702P-hsa-miR-17-5p/hsa-miR-20b-5p-CCND1, ZNF702P-hsa-miR-17-5p/hsa-miR-20b-5p-MAPK1, and ZNF702P-hsa-miR-24-3p-MAPK14 were obtained. By means of molecular docking, we found that all the hub targets could be effectively combined with related ingredients. GO enrichment analysis showed 649 biological processes, involving response to estrogen, response to steroid hormone, inflammatory response, macrophage activation, and osteoclast differentiation, and KEGG analysis revealed 102 entries with 36 relative signaling pathways, which mainly contained IL-17 signaling pathway, T cell receptor signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, the PD-L1 expression and PD-1 checkpoint pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, Estrogen signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. Our experiments confirmed that ZNF702P exhibited gradually increasing expression levels during osteoclast differentiation of human peripheral blood monocytes (HPBMs) induced by RANKL, while ZGP could inhibit osteoclast differentiation of HPBMs induced by RANKL in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore, by regulating inflammatory response, osteoclast differentiation, and hormone metabolism, ZGP may treat GIOP by regulating hub target genes, such as JUN, CCND1, MAPK1, and MAPK14, and acting on numerous key pathways, which involve the ZNF702P-based ceRNA network.

Abstract
Maize is one of the most important crops for human and animal consumption and contains a chemical arsenal essential for survival: flavonoids. Moreover, flavonoids are well known for their beneficial effects on human health. In this review, we decided to organize the information about maize flavonoids into three sections. In the first section, we include updated information about the enzymatic pathway of maize flavonoids. We describe a total of twenty-one genes for the flavonoid pathway of maize. The first three genes participate in the general phenylpropanoid pathway. Four genes are common biosynthetic early genes for flavonoids, and fourteen are specific genes for the flavonoid subgroups, the anthocyanins, and flavone C-glycosides. The second section explains the tissue accumulation and regulation of flavonoids by environmental factors affecting the expression of the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) transcriptional complex. The study of transcription factors of the MBW complex is fundamental for understanding how the flavonoid profiles generate a palette of colors in the plant tissues. Finally, we also include an update of the biological activities of C3G, the major maize anthocyanin, including anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects, among others. This review intends to disclose and integrate the existing knowledge regarding maize flavonoid pigmentation and its relevance in the human health sector.

Abstract
Since osteoporosis critically influences the lives of patients with a high incidence, effective therapeutic treatments are important. Quercetin has been well recognized as a bone-sparing agent and thus the underlying mechanisms warrant further investigation. In the current study, the network pharmacology strategy and zebrafish model were utilized to explain the potential pharmacological effects of quercetin on osteoporosis. The potential targets and related signaling pathways were explored through overlapping target prediction, protein–protein interaction network construction, and functional enrichment analysis. Furthermore, we performed docking studies to verify the specific interactions between quercetin and crucial targets. Consequently, 55 targets were related to osteoporosis disease among the 159 targets of quercetin obtained by three database sources. Thirty hub targets were filtered through the cytoNCA plugin. Additionally, the Gene Ontology functions in the top 10 respective biological processes, molecular functions, and cell components as well as the top 20 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were depicted. The most significance difference in the KEGG pathways was the TNF signaling pathway, consisting of the Nuclear Factor Kappa B Subunit (NF-κB), Extracellular Regulated Protein Kinases (ERK) 1/2, Activator Protein 1 (AP-1), Interleukin 6 (IL6), Transcription factor AP-1 (Jun), and Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase (PI3K), which were probably involved in the pharmacological effects. Moreover, molecular docking studies revealed that the top three entries were Interleukin 1 Beta (IL1B), the Nuclear Factor NF-Kappa-B p65 Subunit (RelA), and the Nuclear Factor Kappa B Subunit 1 (NFKB1), respectively. Finally, these results were verified by alizarin red-stained mineralized bone in zebrafish and related qPCR experiments. The findings probably facilitate the mechanism elucidation related to quercetin anti-osteoporosis action.

[PMID: 35837550 PMCID: PMC9274132 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.891632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Orthopedic hybrid implants combining both titanium (Ti) and magnesium (Mg) have gained wide attraction nowadays. However, it still remains a huge challenge in the fabrication of Mg-Ti composites because of the different temperatures of Ti melting point and pure Mg volatilization point. In this study, we successfully fabricated a new Mg-Ti composite with bi-continuous interpenetrating phase architecture by infiltrating Mg melt into Ti scaffolds, which were prepared by 3D printing and subsequent acid treatment. We attempted to understand the 7-day degradation process of the Mg-Ti composite and examine the different Mg2+ concentration composite impacts on the MC3T3-E1 cells, including toxicity, morphology, apoptosis, and osteogenic activity. CCK-8 results indicated cytotoxicity and absence of the Mg-Ti composite during 7-day degradation. Moreover, the composite significantly improved the morphology, reduced the apoptosis rate, and enhanced the osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells. The favorable impacts might be attributed to the appropriate Mg2+ concentration of the extracts. The results on varying Mg2+ concentration tests indicated that Mg2+ showed no cell adverse effect under 10-mM concentration. The 8-mM group exhibited the best cell morphology, minimum apoptosis rate, and maximum osteogenic activity. This work may open a new perspective on the development and biomedical applications for Mg-Ti composites.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an important role in developing bone tissue engineered constructs due to their osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential. MSC-based tissue engineered constructs are generally considered a safe procedure, however, the long-term results obtained up to now are far from satisfactory. The main causes of these therapeutic limitations are inefficient homing, engraftment, and directional differentiation. Flavonoids are a secondary metabolite, widely existed in nature and have many biological activities. For a long time, researchers have confirmed the anti-osteoporosis effect of flavonoids through in vitro cell experiments, animal studies. In recent years the regulatory effects of flavonoids on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation have been received increasingly attention. Recent studies revealed flavonoids possess the ability to modulate self-renewal and differentiation potential of MSCs. In order to facilitate further research on MSCs osteogenic differentiation of flavonoids, we surveyed the literature published on the use of flavonoids in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, and summarized their pharmacological activities as well as the underlying mechanisms, aimed to explore their promising therapeutic application in bone disorders and bone tissue engineered constructs.

Abstract
Despite magnesium based metal materials are widely used in bone defect repair, there are still various deficiencies, and their properties need to be optimized. Composites synthesized with magnesium based metal as matrix are the research hotspot, and the host immune response after biomaterial implantation is very important for bone binding. By studying the immunoregulation of bone biomaterials, it can regulate the immune response in the process of osteogenesis and create a good local immune microenvironment, which is conducive to biomaterials to reduce inflammatory response and promote good bone binding. This article introduces the osteogenic mechanism of magnesium based metal materials and its regulation on bone immune microenvironment in detail.

Abstract
Bone regeneration in osteoporosis and fragility fractures which are highly associated with age remains a great challenge in the orthopedic field, even though the bone is subjected to a continuous process of remodeling which persists throughout lifelong. Regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation is recognized as effective therapeutic targets to accelerate bone regeneration in osteopenic conditions. Anthocyanins (ACNs), a class of naturally occurring compounds obtained from colored plants, have received increasing attention recently because of their well-documented biological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis in chronic diseases, like osteoporosis. Here, we summarized the detailed research progress on ACNs on bone regeneration and their molecular mechanisms on promoting osteoblast differentiation as well as inhibiting osteoclast formation and differentiation to explore their promising therapeutic application in repressing bone loss and helping fragility fracture healing. Better understanding the role and mechanisms of ACNs on bone regeneration is helpful for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis and also for the exploration of new bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The bone remodelling process is closely related to bone health. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts participate in the bone remodelling process under the regulation of various factors inside and outside. Excessive activation of osteoclasts or lack of function of osteoblasts will cause occurrence and development of multiple bone‐related diseases. Ca2+/Calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway regulates the growth and development of many types of cells, such as cardiomyocyte differentiation, angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, myogenesis, bone development and regeneration, etc. Some evidences indicate that this signalling pathway plays an extremely important role in bone formation and bone pathophysiologic changes. This review discusses the role of Ca2+/Calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway in the process of osteogenic differentiation, as well as the influence of regulating each component in this signalling pathway on the differentiation and function of osteoblasts, whereby the relationship between Ca2+/Calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway and osteoblastogenesis could be deeper understood.
