PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155604. [PMID: 38614042 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone deficiency-related diseases caused by various factors have disrupted the normal function of the skeleton and imposed a heavy burden globally, urgently requiring potential new treatments. The multi-faceted role of compounds like ginsenosides and their interaction with the bone microenvironment, particularly osteoblasts can promote bone formation and exhibit anti-inflammatory, vascular remodeling, and antibacterial properties, holding potential value in the treatment of bone deficiency-related diseases and bone tissue engineering. PURPOSE This review summarizes the interaction between ginsenosides and osteoblasts and the bone microenvironment in bone formation, including vascular remodeling and immune regulation, as well as their therapeutic potential and toxicity in the broad treatment applications of bone deficiency-related diseases and bone tissue engineering, to provide novel insights and treatment strategies. METHODS The literature focusing on the mechanisms and applications of ginsenosides in promoting bone formation before March 2024 was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science Direct databases. Keywords such as "phytochemicals", "ginsenosides", "biomaterials", "bone", "diseases", "bone formation", "microenvironment", "bone tissue engineering", "rheumatoid arthritis", "periodontitis", "osteoarthritis", "osteoporosis", "fracture", "toxicology", "pharmacology", and combinations of these keywords were used. RESULTS Ginsenoside monomers regulate signaling pathways such as WNT/β-catenin, FGF, and BMP/TGF-β, stimulating osteoblast generation and differentiation. It exerts angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects by regulating the bone surrounding microenvironment through signaling such as WNT/β-catenin, NF-κB, MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and Notch. It shows therapeutic effects and biological safety in the treatment of bone deficiency-related diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, osteoporosis, and fractures, and bone tissue engineering by promoting osteogenesis and improving the microenvironment of bone formation. CONCLUSION The functions of ginsenosides are diverse and promising in treating bone deficiency-related diseases and bone tissue engineering. Moreover, potential exists in regulating the bone microenvironment, modifying biomaterials, and treating inflammatory-related bone diseases and dental material applications. However, the mechanisms and effects of some ginsenoside monomers are still unclear, and the lack of clinical research limits their clinical application. Further exploration and evaluation of the potential of ginsenosides in these areas are expected to provide more effective methods for treating bone defects.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have become focused on the relationship between lipids and bone metabolism balance. Moreover, many diseases related to lipid metabolism disorders, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, obesity, and menopause, are associated with osteoporotic phenotypes. It has been clinically observed in humans that these lipid metabolism disorders promote changes in osteoporosis-related indicators bone mineral density and bone mass. Furthermore, similar osteoporotic phenotype changes were observed in high-fat and high-cholesterol-induced animal models. Abnormal lipid metabolism (such as increased oxidized lipids and elevated plasma cholesterol) affects bone microenvironment homeostasis via cross-organ communication, promoting differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to adipocytes, and inhibiting commitment towards osteoblasts. Moreover, disturbances in lipid metabolism affect the bone metabolism balance by promoting the secretion of cytokines such as receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand by osteoblasts and stimulating the differentiation of osteoclasts. Conclusively, this review addresses the possible link between lipid metabolism disorders and osteoporosis and elucidates the potential modulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways by which lipid metabolism affects bone metabolism balance. We also summarize the possible approaches and prospects of intervening lipid metabolism for osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that involves multiple systems in the body. Numerous recent studies have revealed bidirectional crosstalk between the brain and bone, but the interaction between bone and brain in AD remains unclear. In this review, we summarize human studies of the association between bone and brain and provide an overview of their interactions and the underlying mechanisms in AD. We review the effects of AD on bone from the aspects of AD pathogenic proteins, AD risk genes, neurohormones, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, brain-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), and the autonomic nervous system. Correspondingly, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the involvement of bone in the pathogenesis of AD, including bone-derived hormones, bone marrow-derived cells, bone-derived EVs, and inflammation. On the basis of the crosstalk between bone and the brain, we propose potential strategies for the management of AD with the hope of offering novel perspectives on its prevention and treatment. HIGHLIGHTS: The pathogenesis of AD, along with its consequent changes in the brain, may involve disturbing bone homeostasis. Degenerative bone disorders may influence the progression of AD through a series of pathophysiological mechanisms. Therefore, relevant bone intervention strategies may be beneficial for the comprehensive management of AD.

Abstract
Orthodontic maxillary expansion relies on intrinsic mid-palatal suture mechanobiology to induce guided osteogenesis, yet establishment of the mid-palatal suture within the continuous secondary palate and causes of maxillary insufficiency remain poorly understood. In contrast, advances in cranial suture research hold promise to improve surgical repair of prematurely fused cranial sutures in craniosynostosis to potentially restore the obliterated signaling environment and ensure continual success of the intervention. We hypothesized that mid-palatal suture establishment is governed by shared principles with calvarial sutures and involves functional linkage between expanding primary ossification centres with the midline mesenchyme. We characterized establishment of the mid-palatal suture from late embryonic to early postnatal timepoints. Suture establishment was visualized using histological techniques and multimodal transcriptomics. We identified that mid-palatal suture formation depends on a spatiotemporally controlled signalling milieu in which tendon-associated genes play a significant role. We mapped relationships between extracellular matrix-encoding gene expression, tenocyte markers, and novel suture patency candidate genes. We identified similar expression patterns in FaceBase-deposited scRNA-seq datasets from cranial sutures. These findings demonstrate shared biological principles for suture establishment, providing further avenues for future development and understanding of maxillofacial interventions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disease characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone remodeling. Osteoporosis can lead to bone loss and bone microstructural deterioration. This increases the risk of bone fragility and fracture, severely reducing patients' mobility and quality of life. However, the specific molecular mechanisms involved in the development of osteoporosis remain unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that multiple noncoding RNAs show differential expression in the osteoporosis state. Meanwhile, noncoding RNAs have been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Noncoding RNAs are an important class of factors at the level of gene regulation and are mainly involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell death. Programmed cell death is a genetically-regulated form of cell death involved in regulating the homeostasis of the internal environment. Noncoding RNA plays an important role in the programmed cell death process. The exploration of the noncoding RNA-programmed cell death axis has become an interesting area of research and has been shown to play a role in many diseases such as osteoporosis. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the mechanism of noncoding RNA-mediated programmed cell death on bone homeostasis imbalance leading to osteoporosis. And we provide a deeper understanding of the role played by the noncoding RNA-programmed cell death axis at the gene regulatory level of osteoporosis. We hope to provide a unique opportunity to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone secretory proteins, termed osteokines, regulate bone metabolism and whole-body homeostasis. However, fundamental questions as to what the bona fide osteokines and their cellular sources are and how they are regulated remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed bone and extraskeletal tissues, osteoblast (OB) conditioned media, bone marrow supernatant (BMS), and serum, for basal osteokines and those responsive to aging and mechanical loading/unloading. We identified 375 candidate osteokines and their changes in response to aging and mechanical dynamics by integrating data from RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and proteomic approaches. Furthermore, we analyzed their cellular sources in the bone and inter-organ communication facilitated by them (bone-brain, liver, and aorta). Notably, we discovered that senescent OBs secrete fatty-acid-binding protein 3 to propagate senescence toward vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Taken together, we identified previously unknown candidate osteokines and established a dynamic regulatory network among them, thus providing valuable resources to further investigate their systemic roles.

Abstract
Early reconstruction of the vascular network is a prerequisite to the effective treatment of substantial bone defects. Traditional 3D printed tissue engineering scaffolds designed to repair large bone defects do not effectively regenerate the vascular network, and rely only on the porous structure within the scaffold for nutrient transfer and metabolic waste removal. This leads to delayed bone restoration and hence functional recovery. Therefore, strategies for generation scaffolds with the capacity to efficiently regenerate vascularization should be developed. This study loads roxarestat (RD), which can stabilize HIF-1α expression in a normoxic environment, onto the mesopore polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA@RD) to enhance the reconstruction of vascular network in large bone defects. Subsequently, MPDA@RD is mixed with GelMA/HA hydrogel bioink to fabricate a multifunctional hydrogel scaffold (GHM@RD) through 3D printing. In vitro results show that the GHM@RD scaffolds achieve good angiogenic-osteogenic coupling by activating the PI3K/AKT/HSP90 pathway in BMSCs and the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway in HUVECs under mild thermotherapy. In vivo experiments reveal that RD and mild hyperthermia synergistically induce early vascularization and bone regeneration of critical bone defects. In conclusion, the designed GHM@RD drug delivery scaffold with mild hyperthermia holds great therapeutic value for future treatment of large bone defects.

Abstract
Fluorosis due to high fluoride levels in drinking water profoundly affects the development of human skeletal and dental structures. Sodium butyrate (NaB) has been found to regulate overall bone mass and prevent pathological bone loss. However, the mechanism of NaB action on fluorosis remains unclear. In this study, a rat model of fluorosis induced by 100 mg/L sodium fluoride was used to investigate the impact of NaB on bone homeostasis and serum metabolomics. It was found that NaB significantly reduced the levels of bone resorption markers CTX-Ⅰ and TRACP-5B in fluorosis rats. Moreover, NaB increased calcium and magnesium levels in bone, while decreasing phosphorus levels. In addition, NaB improved various bone microstructure parameters, including bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), trabecular bone separation (Tb. SP), and structural model index (SMI) in the femur. Notably, NaB intervention also enhanced the antioxidant capacity of plasma in fluorosis rats. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of serum metabolomics by LC-MS revealed a significant reversal trend of seven biomarkers after the intervention of NaB. Finally, pathway enrichment analysis based on differential metabolites indicated that NaB exerted protective effects on fluorosis by modulating arginine and proline metabolic pathways. These findings suggest that NaB has a beneficial effect on fluorosis and can regulate bone homeostasis by ameliorating metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Hormonal necrosis of the femoral head is caused by long-term use of glucocorticoids and other causes of abnormal bone metabolism, lipid metabolism imbalance and blood microcirculation disorders in the femoral head, resulting in bone trabecular fracture, bone tissue necrosis collapse, and hip dysfunction. It is the most common type of non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head, and its pathogenesis is complex, while impaired blood circulation is considered to be the key to its occurrence. There are a large number of microvessels in the femoral head, among which H-type vessels play a decisive role in the "angiogenesis and osteogenesis coupling", and thus have an important impact on the occurrence and development of femoral head necrosis. Glucocorticoids can cause blood flow injury of the femoral head mainly through coagulation dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis. Glucocorticoids may inhibit the formation of H-type vessels by reducing the expression of HIF-1α, PDGF-BB, VGEF and other factors, thus causing damage to the "angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling" and reducing the ability of necrosis reconstruction and repair of the femoral head. Leads to the occurrence of hormonal femoral head necrosis. Therefore, this paper reviewed the progress in the study of the mechanism of hormone-induced femoral head necrosis based on microvascular blood flow at home and abroad, hoping to provide new ideas for the study of the mechanism of femoral head necrosis and provide references for clinical treatment of femoral head necrosis.

Abstract
A potential osteogenic tetradecapeptide with the amino acid sequence GETNPADSKPGSIR (P-GM-2) was identified from Gadus morhua. The present study aimed to elucidate its absorption and transport properties using Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-culture monolayers and to evaluate its osteogenic activity using an ovariectomized mouse model. The results showed that P-GM-2 could cross Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-culture barriers intactly with an apparent permeability coefficient of 4.02 × 10-6 cm s-1via the TJ-mediated passive paracellular pathway. Pharmacokinetic results revealed that P-GM-2 was detectable in the blood of mice within 5 min of oral administration and reached its maximum concentration at 30 min. Furthermore, the oral administration of P-GM-2 for a duration of three months has been found to effectively regulate the secretion of key markers of bone turnover, thereby protecting against bone microstructure degeneration and bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Importantly, no toxicity related to the treatment was observed. Taken together, these findings offer valuable insights into the absorption and transport mechanisms of P-GM-2, highlighting its potential as a safe and effective active ingredient for preventing osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the mechanism of ginseng in the treatment of periodontitis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. METHODS Potential targets of ginseng and periodontitis were obtained through various databases. The intersection targets of ginseng and periodontitis were obtained by using VENNY, the protein-protein interaction network relationship diagram was formed on the STRING platform, the core target diagram was formed by Cytoscape software, and the ginseng-active ingredient-target network diagram was constructed. The selected targets were screened for gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The core targets of ginseng's active ingredients in treating periodontitis were analyzed by molecular docking technique. RESULTS The 22 ginseng's active ingredients, 591 potential targets of ginseng's active ingredients, 2 249 periodontitis gene targets, and 145 ginseng-periodontitis intersection targets were analyzed. Ginseng had strong binding activity on core targets such as vascular endothelial growth factor A and epidermal growth factor receptor, as well as hypoxia induced-factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Ginseng and its active components can regulate several signaling pathways such as HIF-1 and PI3K-Akt, thereby indicating that ginseng may play a role in treating periodontitis through multiple pathways.

Biomimetic fabrication of sr-silk fibroin co-assembly hydroxyapatite based microspheres with angiogenic and osteogenic properties for bone tissue engineering. Mater Today Bio 2024; 25:101011. [PMID: 38445010 PMCID: PMC10912917 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, or developmental abnormalities are important issues in clinical practice. The vigorous development of tissue engineering technology provides new ideas and directions for regenerating bone defects. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a bioactive ceramic, is extensively used in bone tissue engineering because of its excellent osteoinductive performance. However, its application is challenged by its single function and conventional environment-unfriendly synthesis methods. In this study, we successfully "green" synthesized sr-silk fibroin co-assembly hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Sr-SF-HA) using silk fibroin (SF) as a biomineralized template, thus enabling it to have angiogenic activity and achieving the combination of organic and inorganic substances. Then, the rough composite microspheres loaded with Sr-SF-HA (CS/Sr-SF-HA) through electrostatic spraying technology and freeze-drying method were prepared. The CCK-8 test and live/dead cell staining showed excellent biocompatibility of CS/Sr-SF-HA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining (ARS), immunofluorescence, western blotting, and qRT-PCR test showed that CS/Sr-SF-HA activated the expression of related genes and proteins, thus inducing the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Moreover, tube formation experiments, scratch experiments, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR detection indicated that CS/Sr-SF-HA have good angiogenic activity. Furthermore, in vivo studies showed that the CS/Sr-SF-HA possesses excellent biocompatibility, vascular activity, as well as ectopic osteogenic ability in the subcutaneous pocket of rats. This study indicates that the construction of CS/Sr-SF-HA with angiogenic and osteogenic properties has great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) has been found to stimulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis of stem cells, promoting neo-angiogenesis in bone tissue regeneration. In this review, we conducted a comprehensive search of the literature to investigate the effects of DMOG on osteogenesis and bone regeneration. We screened the studies based on specific inclusion criteria and extracted relevant information from both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The risk of bias in animal studies was evaluated using the SYRCLE tool. Out of the 174 studies retrieved, 34 studies met the inclusion criteria (34 studies were analyzed in vitro and 20 studies were analyzed in vivo). The findings of the included studies revealed that DMOG stimulated stem cells' differentiation toward osteogenic, angiogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, leading to vascularized bone and cartilage regeneration. Addtionally, DMOG demonstrated therapeutic effects on bone loss caused by bone-related diseases. However, the culture environment in vitro is notably distinct from that in vivo, and the animal models used in vivo experiments differ significantly from humans. In summary, DMOG has the ability to enhance the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation potential of stem cells, thereby improving bone regeneration in cases of bone defects. This highlights DMOG as a potential focus for research in the field of bone tissue regeneration engineering.

Abstract
The management of critical-sized bone defects presents a formidable clinical challenge, especially given the increasing incidence of bone diseases in the aging population. Consequently, there is an increased demand for minimally invasive bone repair materials that can effectively address this challenge, particularly in outpatient settings. In this study, the goal is to develop an injectable and biodegradable biomaterial that adheres to and fills bone-defect sites to support bone regeneration. The osteogenic and angiogenic activities of animal horn peptides are investigated by incorporating them into biologically active moieties, in combination with a novel thermosensitive hydrogel. The resulting thermosensitive hydrogel exhibited essential biological functionalities, allowing precise modulation of its physical and chemical properties. Notably, the hydrogel incorporating the horn peptide rapidly filled the bone defect site, promoting both angiogenesis and bone induction. Consequently, this approach significantly accelerates new bone regeneration. In summary, the findings of this study present a promising, minimally invasive solution for addressing critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
Bone is a common site of metastasis for lung cancer. The "seed and soil" hypothesis suggests that the bone marrow microenvironment ("soil") may provide a conducive survival environment for metastasizing tumor cells ("seeds"). The bone marrow microenvironment, comprising a complex array of cells, includes bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs), which constitute about 70% of the adult bone marrow volume and may play a significant role in tumor bone metastasis. BMAs can directly provide energy for tumor cells, promoting their proliferation and migration. Furthermore, BMAs participate in the tumor microenvironment's osteogenesis regulation, osteoclast(OC) regulation, and immune response through the secretion of adipokines, cytokines, and inflammatory factors. However, the precise mechanisms of BMAs in lung cancer bone metastasis remain largely unclear. This review primarily explores the role of BMAs and their secreted adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, Nesfatin-1, Resistin, chemerin, visfatin) in lung cancer bone metastasis, aiming to provide new insights into the mechanisms and clinical treatment of lung cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
The intervertebral disc is not isolated from other tissues. Recently, abundant research has linked intervertebral disc homeostasis and degeneration to various systemic diseases, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Organokines are a group of diverse factors named for the tissue of origin, including adipokines, osteokines, myokines, cardiokines, gastrointestinal hormones, and hepatokines. Through endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine mechanisms, organokines modulate energy homeostasis, oxidative stress, and metabolic balance in various tissues to mediate cross-organ communication. These molecules are involved in the regulation of cellular behavior, inflammation, and matrix metabolism under physiological and pathological conditions. In this review, we aimed to summarize the impact of organokines on disc homeostasis and degeneration and the underlying signaling mechanism. We focused on the regulatory mechanisms of organokines to provide a basis for the development of early diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for disc degeneration.

Abstract
The phrase "skin as a mirror of internal medicine," which means that the skin reflects many of the diseases of the internal organs, is a well-known notion. Despite the phenotypic differences between the soft skin and hard bone, the skin and bone are highly associated. Skin and bone consist of fibroblasts and osteoblasts, respectively, which secrete collagen and are involved in synthesis, while Langerhans cells and osteoclasts control turnover. Moreover, the quality and quantity of collagen in the skin and bone may be modified by aging, inflammation, estrogen, diabetes, and glucocorticoids. Skin and bone collagen are pathologically modified by aging, drugs, and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. The structural similarities between the skin and bone and the crosstalk controlling their mutual pathological effects have led to the advocacy of the skin-bone axis. Thus, the skin may mirror the health of the bones and conversely, the condition of the skin may be reflected in the bones. From the perspective of the skin-bone axis, the similarities between skin and bone anatomy, function, and pathology, as well as the crosstalk between the two, are discussed in this review. A thorough elucidation of the pathways governing the skin-bone axis crosstalk would enhance our understanding of disease pathophysiology, facilitating the development of new diagnostics and therapies for skin collagen-induced bone disease and of new osteoporosis diagnostics and therapies that enhance skin collagen to increase bone quality and density.

Abstract
Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH), caused by glucocorticoid (GC) administration, is known to exhibit a high incidence worldwide. Although osteoblast apoptosis has been reported as an important cytological basis of SONFH, the precise mechanism remains elusive. Echinacoside (Ech), a natural phenylethanoid glycoside, exerts multiple beneficial effects, such as facilitation of cell proliferation and anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Herein, we aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism underlying glucocorticoid-induced osteoblast apoptosis and determine the protective efficacy of Ech against SONFH. We comprehensively surveyed multiple public databases to identify SONFH-related genes. Using bioinformatics analysis, we identified that the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling pathway was most strongly associated with SONFH. We examined the protective effect of Ech against SONFH using in vivo and in vitro experiments. Specifically, dexamethasone (Dex) decreased p-PI3K and p-AKT levels, which were reversed following Ech addition. Validation of the PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and molecular docking of Ech and PI3K/AKT further indicated that Ech could directly enhance PI3K/AKT activity to alleviate Dex-induced inhibition. Interestingly, Dex upregulated the expression of FOXO1, Bax, cleaved-caspase-9, and cleaved-caspase-3 and enhanced MC3T3-E1 apoptosis; application of Ech and siRNA-FOXO1 reversed these effects. In vitro, Ech decreased the number of empty osteocytic lacunae, reduced TUNEL and FOXO1 positive cells, and improved bone microarchitecture. Our results provide robust evidence that PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 plays a crucial role in the development of SONFH. Moreover, Ech may be a promising candidate drug for the treatment of SONFH.

Abstract
Ageing increases susceptibility to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Serum levels of sclerostin, an osteocyte-derived Wnt-β-catenin signalling antagonist, increase with age and inhibit osteoblastogenesis. As Wnt-β-catenin signalling acts as a protective mechanism for memory, we hypothesize that osteocyte-derived sclerostin can impact cognitive function under pathological conditions. Here we show that osteocyte-derived sclerostin can cross the blood-brain barrier of old mice, where it can dysregulate Wnt-β-catenin signalling. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments show that abnormally elevated osteocyte-derived sclerostin impairs synaptic plasticity and memory in old mice of both sexes. Mechanistically, sclerostin increases amyloid β (Aβ) production through β-catenin-β-secretase 1 (BACE1) signalling, indicating a functional role for sclerostin in AD. Accordingly, high sclerostin levels in patients with AD of both sexes are associated with severe cognitive impairment, which is in line with the acceleration of Αβ production in an AD mouse model with bone-specific overexpression of sclerostin. Thus, we demonstrate osteocyte-derived sclerostin-mediated bone-brain crosstalk, which could serve as a target for developing therapeutic interventions against AD.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols are known to alleviate osteoporosis; however, the role of intestinal flora in this process has not been studied. This research employed 16s rRNA sequencing and non-targeted metabonomics to investigate the potential link between osteoporosis mitigation and changes in intestinal flora. MicroCT and tissue staining results demonstrated that tea polyphenols improved bone microstructure, modulated bone metabolism, and significantly alleviated osteoporosis. The administration of tea polyphenols led to alterations in the intestinal flora's composition, marked by increased abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus and decreased prevalence of Bacteroidetes and Bacteroides. Concurrently, the levels of serum metabolites such as Spermidine and 5,6-Dihydrouracil, associated with intestinal microorganisms, underwent significant changes. These variations in intestinal flora and metabolites are closely linked to bone metabolism. Furthermore, tea polyphenols partially repaired intestinal barrier damage, potentially due to shifts in intestinal flora and their metabolites. Overall, our findings suggest that tea polyphenol intervention modifies the intestinal flora and serum metabolites in osteoporotic mice, which could contribute to the repair of intestinal barrier damage and thereby mitigate osteoporosis. This discovery aids in elucidating the mechanism behind tea polyphenols' osteoporosis-relieving effects.

Abstract
SCOPE Bovine milk extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in regulating bone cell activity. However, the outcome of their use on alveolar bone loss has not yet been demonstrated. METHODS AND RESULTS This study evaluates the effect of oral administration of MEVs on ovariectomized (OVX) mice. There is a reduced height of the alveolar bone crest in OVX mice by MEVs treatment, but the alveolar bone parameters are not altered. OVX mice are then submitted to a force-induced bone remodeling model by orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). MEVs-treated mice have markedly less bone remodeling movement, unlike the untreated OVX mice. Also, OVX mice treated with MEVs show an increased number of osteoblasts and osteocytes associated with higher sclerostin expression and reduce osteoclasts in the alveolar bone. Although the treatment with MEVs in OVX mice does not show differences in root structure in OTM, few odontoclasts are observed in the dental roots of OVX-treated mice. Compared to untreated mice, maxillary and systemic RANKL/OPG ratios are reduced in OVX mice treated with MEVs. CONCLUSION Treatment with MEVs results in positive bone cell balance in the alveolar bone and dental roots, indicating its beneficial potential in treating alveolar bone loss in the nutritional context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that lymphocytes and cytokines can mediate bone metabolism. This study explored the clinical association and predictive ability of lymphocytes and cytokines levels for bone metabolism. METHODS A total of 162 patients were enrolled in this study. The levels of N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP), β-collagen degradation product (β-CTX), total T lymphocytes, immature T lymphocytes, suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes, helper/inducer T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IFN-α, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL12p70 were evaluated. The relationship between these lymphocyte subsets and cytokines with bone metabolic status was examined and their predictive ability for bone metabolic status was assessed. RESULTS The principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation analysis results varied on differences in lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in various bone metabolism states. Differential analysis revealed significant differences in the absolute counts of B lymphocytes (P < 0.05), level of IL-12p70 (P < 0.05), and IL-8 (P < 0.001) at different P1NP levels. Significant differences were observed in the absolute counts of total T lymphocytes (P < 0.05), B lymphocytes (P < 0.05), the level of IL-6 (P < 0.05), the percentage of B lymphocytes (P < 0.01), and NK cells (P < 0.05) at different β-CTX levels. Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the absolute count of B lymphocytes and levels of IL-12p70 and IL-8 could be used to evaluate bone formation states, while the absolute counts of T and B lymphocytes, level of IL-6, and percentages of NK cells and B lymphocytes could be used to evaluate bone resorption states. CONCLUSION The bone metabolism status changed based on the lymphocyte subsets and cytokine levels. Differentially expressed lymphocytes and cytokines could be used to distinguish bone metabolism status.

Abstract
The homeostasis of bone microenvironment is the foundation of bone health and comprises 2 concerted events: bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. In the early 21st century, leptin, an adipocytes-derived hormone, was found to affect bone homeostasis through hypothalamic relay and the sympathetic nervous system, involving neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. This discovery has provided a new perspective regarding the synergistic effects of endocrine and nervous systems on skeletal homeostasis. Since then, more studies have been conducted, gradually uncovering the complex neuroendocrine regulation underlying bone homeostasis. Intriguingly, bone is also considered as an endocrine organ that can produce regulatory factors that in turn exert effects on neuroendocrine activities. After decades of exploration into bone regulation mechanisms, separate bioactive factors have been extensively investigated, whereas few studies have systematically shown a global view of bone homeostasis regulation. Therefore, we summarized the previously studied regulatory patterns from the nervous system and endocrine system to bone. This review will provide readers with a panoramic view of the intimate relationship between the neuroendocrine system and bone, compensating for the current understanding of the regulation patterns of bone homeostasis, and probably developing new therapeutic strategies for its related disorders.

Abstract
Abnormal differentiation and proliferation of chondrocytes leads to various diseases related to growth and development. The process of chondrocyte differentiation involves a series of complex cellular and molecular interactions. X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), an essential molecule of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress, participated in cartilage development and causes other related diseases. We previously reported that XBP1 deficiency in cartilage impacts the function and associated diseases of many different tissues including cartilage. However, how differential expression of genes modulates the roles of cartilage and other tissues when XBP1 is lack of in chondrocytes remains unclear. We aimed to screen for differentially expressed (DE) genes in cartilage, brain, heart, and muscle by high-throughput sequencing in XBP1 cartilage-specific knockout (CKO) mice. Further, gene co-expression networks were constructed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm and pivot genes were identified in the above four tissues. Protein detection, Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiments have proved that these differentially co-expressed genes participate in the downstream regulatory pathway of different tissues and affect tissue function.Significantly differentially expressed mRNAs [differentially expressed genes (DEGs)] were identified between XBP1 CKO mice and controls in cartilage, brain, heart, and muscle tissues, including 610, 126, 199 and 219 DEGs, respectively. 39 differentially co-expressed genes were identified in the above four tissues, and they were important pivot genes. Comprehensive analysis discovered that XBP1 deficiency in cartilage influences the difference of co-expressed genes between cartilage and other different tissues. These differentially co-expressed genes participate in downstream regulatory pathways of different tissues and affect tissue functions. Collectively, our conclusions may contribute potential biomarkers and molecular mechanisms for the mutual modulation between cartilage and different tissues and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by abnormalities in different tissues. The analysis also provides meaningful insights for future genetic discoveries.

Among them, oncostatin M (OSM) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by osteal macrophages, which serves as an essential modulator of bone remodeling. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and osteoprotegerin are secreted by osteoblasts, and also have pivotal roles in the regulation of the bone remodeling process. The binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a key regulator of bone remodeling, to the corresponding receptor [fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)] triggers the dimerization and activation of FGFRs, which causes the phosphorylation of FGFR substrates and subsequent activation of downstream effectors, including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), via Grb2. bFGF can activate MAPKs, resulting in the synthesis of osteoprotegerin and vascular endothelial growth factor in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, the effects of OSM on bFGF-induced osteoblast activation were investigated in the synthesis of osteoprotegerin and M-CSF in osteoblasts. The release of osteoprotegerin and M-CSF were analyzed using ELISA. The mRNA expression levels of osteoprotegerin and M-CSF were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p44/p42 MAPK was assessed using western blotting. OSM enhanced bFGF-induced osteoprotegerin release and bFGF-stimulated mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin. By contrast, OSM suppressed the bFGF-induced release of M-CSF and bFGF-stimulated mRNA expression of M-CSF. SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, and SP600125, a SAPK/JNK inhibitor, suppressed the bFGF-stimulated M-CSF release, whereas PD98059, an upstream kinase inhibitor of p44/p42 MAPK, failed to suppress the M-CSF release stimulated by bFGF. Furthermore, OSM enhanced the bFGF-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, but attenuated the bFGF-stimulated phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK. By contrast, OSM had little effect on the bFGF-induced phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAPK. SB203580 markedly reduced the amplification of bFGF-stimulated osteoprotegerin release enhanced by OSM. These results strongly suggested that OSM may possess divergent effects on bFGF-induced osteoblast activation, upregulation of p38 MAPK and downregulation of SAPK/JNK, leading to the amplification of osteoprotegerin synthesis and the attenuation of M-CSF synthesis.

Wnt5a deficiency in osteocalcin-expressing cells could not alleviate the osteoarthritic phenotype in a mouse model of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES 2024; 27:671-677.

Abstract
Objectives Wnt5a, which regulates the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, is reportedly overexpressed in osteoarthritis (OA) tissues. The purpose of this study was to elucidate its role in the development of OA by deleting Wnt5a in osteocalcin (OCN)-expressing cells. Materials and Methods Knee OA was induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) in OCN-Cre;Wnt5afl/fl knockout (Wnt5a-cKO) mice and control littermates. Eight weeks after surgery, histological changes, cell apoptosis, and matrix metabolism of cartilage were evaluated by toluidine blue, TUNEL staining, and im-immunohistochemistry analyses, respectively. In addition, the subchondral bone microarchitecture of mice was examined by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Results Histological scores show substantial cartilage degeneration occurred in ACLT knees, coupled with decreased collagen type II expression and enhanced matrix metalloproteinase 13 expression, as well as higher proportions of apoptotic cells. Micro-CT results show that ACLT resulted in decreased bone mineral density, bone volume/trabecular volume, trabecular number, and structure model index of subchondral bones in both Wnt5a-cKO and control littermates; although Wnt5a-cKO mice display lower BMD and BV/TV values, no significant difference was observed between Wnt5a-cKO and control mice for any of these values. Conclusion Our findings indicate that Wnt5a deficiency in OCN-expressing cells could not prevent an osteoarthritic phenotype in a mouse model of post-traumatic OA.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis refers to the balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and the maintenance of stable bone mass. SIRT3 is a class of mitochondrial protein deacetylase that influences various mitochondrial functions and is involved in the mechanisms underlying resistance to aging; regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts; and development of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other bone diseases. Moreover, exercise affects bones through SIRT3. Thus, studies on SIRT3 may provide insights for the treatment of bone diseases. Although SIRT3 can exert multiple effects on bone, the specific mechanism by which it regulates bone homeostasis remains unclear. By evaluating the relevant literature, this review discusses the structure and function of SIRT3, reveals the role and associated mechanisms of SIRT3 in regulating bone homeostasis and mediating bone health during exercise, and highlights the potential pharmacological value of SIRT3 in treating bone diseases.

Abstract
This study investigated whether osteocalcin (OCN) is present in osteoblast precursors and its relationship with initial phases of alveolar process formation. Samples of maxillae of 16-, 18-, and 20-day-old rat embryos (E16, E18, and E20, respectively), and 05-, 10-, and 15-day-old postnatal rats (P05, P10, and P15, respectively) were fixed and embedded in paraffin or araldite. Immunohistochemistry for osterix (Osx), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and OCN detection was performed and the number of immunolabelled cells was computed. Non-decalcified sections were subjected to the von Kossa method combined with immunohistochemistry for Osx or OCN detection. For OCN immunolocalization, samples were fixed in 0.5% glutaraldehyde/2% formaldehyde and embedded in LR White resin. The highest number of ALP- and OCN-immunolabelled cells was observed in dental follicle of E16 specimens, mainly in basal portions of dental alveolus. In corresponding regions, osteoblasts in differentiation adjacent to von Kossa-positive bone matrix exhibited Osx and OCN immunoreactivity. Ultrastructural analysis revealed OCN immunoreactive particles inside osteoblast in differentiation, and in bone matrix associated with collagen fibrils and within matrix vesicles, at early stages of alveolar process formation. Our results indicate that OCN plays a role in osteoblast differentiation and may regulate calcium/phosphate precipitation during early mineralization of the alveolar process.

Abstract
Endochondral ossification (ECO) is a form of bone formation whereby the newly deposited bone replaces the cartilage template. A decellularized artificial cartilage graft (dLhCG), which is composed of hyaline cartilage matrixes, has been developed in our previous study. Herein, the osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived MSCs in the dLhCG through chondrogenic differentiation, chondrocyte hypertrophy, and subsequent transdifferentiation induction has been investigated by simulating the physiological processes of ECO for repairing critical-sized bone defects. The MSCs were recellularized into dLhCGs and subsequently allowed to undergo a 14-day proliferation period (mrLhCG). Following this, the mrLhCG constructs were subjected to two distinct differentiation induction protocols to achieve osteogenic differentiation: chondrogenic medium followed by chondrocytes culture medium with a high concentration of fetal bovine serum (CGCC group) and canonical osteogenesis inducing medium (OI group). The formation of a newly developed artificial bone graft, ossified dLhCG (OsLhCG), as well as its capability of aiding bone defect reconstruction were characterized by in vitro and in vivo trials, such as mRNA sequencing, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, the greater omentum implantation in nude mice, and repair for the critical-sized femoral defects in rats. The results reveal that the differentiation induction of MSCs in the CGCC group can realize in vitro ECO through chondrogenic differentiation, hypertrophy, and transdifferentiation, while the MSCs in the OI group, as expected, realize ossification through direct osteogenic differentiation. The angiogenesis and osteogenesis of OsLhCG were proved by being implanted into the greater omentum of nude mice. Besides, the OsLhCG exhibits the capability to achieve the repair of critical-size femoral defects.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis is a highly prevalent oral disease characterized by irreversible bone resorption and tooth loss. The proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) are crucial to the regeneration of periodontal bone defects. There is increasing evidence that small extracellular vesicle (sEV) derived from pulp stem cell, including human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cell (SHED) and human dental pulp stem cell (DPSC), is a potential mediator for bone tissue regeneration. However, which one is more suitable for periodontal bone formation still remains to be studied. Methods In this study, NTA and BCA were performed to compare the productivity of sEV derived from SHED (SHED-sEV) and sEV derived from DPSC (DPSC-sEV). CCK-8, transwell assay, alkaline phosphatase staining and activity assay, alizarin red staining, qRT-PCR, and western blotting were conducted to detect the proliferation, migration, and osteogenesis of PDLSCs coculturing with SHED-sEV or DPSC-sEV. Results The secretory efficiency of SHED-sEV was much higher than that of DPSC-sEV. The cellular uptake of sEVs could promote the proliferation, migration and osteogenesis of DPLSCs. Compared with DPSC-sEV, SHED-sEV showed better ability in such promotion. Conclusions SHED-sEV showed higher productivity and better osteogenic induction ability than DPSC-sEV. Thus, SHED-sEV may be a more promising candidate for periodontal bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bones serve mechanical and defensive functions, as well as regulating the balance of calcium ions and housing bone marrow.. The qualities of bones do not remain constant. Instead, they fluctuate throughout life, with functions increasing in some situations while deteriorating in others. The synchronization of osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is critical for maintaining bone mass and microstructure integrity in a steady state. This equilibrium, however, can be disrupted by a variety of bone pathologies. Excessive osteoclast differentiation can result in osteoporosis, Paget's disease, osteolytic bone metastases, and rheumatoid arthritis, all of which can adversely affect people's health. Osteoclast differentiation is regulated by transcription factors NFATc1, MITF, C/EBPα, PU.1, NF-κB, and c-Fos. The transcriptional activity of osteoclasts is largely influenced by developmental and environmental signals with the involvement of co-factors, RNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, and the microenvironment. In this paper, we review these themes in regard to transcriptional regulation in osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Aims Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased trabecular bone volume, and microarchitectural deterioration in the medullary cavity. Interleukin-19 (IL-19), a member of the IL-10 family, is an anti-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by macrophages. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of IL-19 on osteoporosis. Methods Blood and femoral bone marrow suspension IL-19 levels were first measured in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced bone loss model. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was applied to knock down IL-19 for further validation. Thereafter, osteoclast production was stimulated with IL-19 in combination with mouse macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). The effect of IL-19 was subsequently evaluated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The effect of IL-19 on osteoprotegerin (OPG) was then assessed using in vitro recombinant IL-19 treatment of primary osteoblasts and MLO-Y4 osteoblast cell line. Finally, transient transfection experiments and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments were used to examine the exact mechanism of action. Results In the LPS-induced bone loss mouse model, the levels of IL-19 in peripheral blood serum and femoral bone marrow suspension were significantly increased. The in vivo results indicated that global IL-19 deletion had no significant effect on RANKL content in the serum and bone marrow, but could increase the content of OPG in serum and femoral bone marrow, suggesting that IL-19 inhibits OPG expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and thus increases bone resorption. Conclusion IL-19 promotes bone resorption by suppressing OPG expression in BMSCs in a LPS-induced bone loss mouse model, which highlights the potential benefits and side effects of IL-19 for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Excess glucocorticoids (GCs) have been reported as key factors that impair osteoblast (OB) differentiation and function. However, the role of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) in this process has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we report that both the mRNA and protein expression of fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), a key m6 A demethylase, were dose-dependently downregulated during OB differentiation by dexamethasone (DEX) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and FTO was gradually increased during OB differentiation. Meanwhile, FTO knockdown suppressed OB differentiation and mineralization, whereas overexpression of wide-type FTO, but not mutant FTO (mutated m6 A demethylase active site), reversed DEX-induced osteogenesis impairment. Interfering with FTO inhibited proliferation and the expression of Ki67 and Pcna in BMSCs during OB differentiation, whereas forced expression of wide-type FTO improved DEX-induced inhibition of BMSCs proliferation. Moreover, FTO knockdown reduced the mRNA stability of the OB marker genes Alpl and Col1a1, and FTO-modulated OB differentiation via YTHDF1 and YTHDF2. In conclusion, our results suggest that FTO inhibits the GCs-induced OB differentiation and function of BMSCs.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e22365. [PMID: 38099006 PMCID: PMC10720268 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is a critical cause of osteoporosis affecting many aging people worldwide. 5'-Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a natural sulfur-containing nucleoside normally produced in prokaryotes, plants, yeast, and higher eukaryotes via polyamine metabolism. MTA affects various physiological responses particularly the inflammatory pathway in both normal and cancerous cells and modulates the activation of nuclear factor-κB involved in the osteoclastogenesis signalling process. While several studies have reported that natural products possess anti-osteoclastogenesis phenolics and flavonoids, the effect of nucleoside derivatives on osteoclastogenesis remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which MTA affects pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells as a potential alleviation compound for inflammation-mediated bone loss. Osteoclasts were established by incubating RAW264.7 macrophage cells with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor, the vital cytokines for activation of osteoclast differentiation. Cell viability was measured using MTT assays at 24, 48, and 72 h. The suppressive effect of MTA on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and function was assessed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) analysis, qRT-PCR, and pit formation, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays. MTA showed dose-dependent anti-osteoclastogenic activity by inhibiting TRAP-positive cell and pit formation and reducing essential digestive enzymes, including TRAP, cathepsin K, and matrix metallopeptidase 9. MTA was observed to suppress the osteoclast transduction pathway through (RANKL)-induced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFƘB); it attenuated NFƘB-P65 expression and down-regulated cFos proto-oncogene and nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1), the main regulators of osteoclasts. Moreover, the suppression of RANK (the initial receptor triggering several osteoclastogenic transduction pathways) was observed. Thus, this study highlights the potential of MTA as an effective therapeutic compound for restoring bone metabolic disease by inhibiting the RANK-NFATc1 signal pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is based on alveolar bone remodeling under mechanical force. In 2010, Piezo1 was identified as a mechanosensitive ion channel that is involved in various physiological functions. We aimed to determine the role of Piezo1 in alveolar bone remodeling during OTM. DESIGN Twenty-five six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to establish OTM models and sacrificed in groups of five on days 0, 1, 3, 7, and 14. Stereomicroscopy measurements, hematoxylin and eosin staining, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to examine the tooth movement distance, periodontal tissue morphology, and number of multinucleated osteoclasts, and explore the levels of Piezo1, bone-related factors, and Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway at different time points in tension-side periodontal tissues during OTM. Furthermore, we injected equivalent grammostola mechanotoxin 4 (GsMTx4; GsMTx4 group, 25 rats) or saline (control group, 25 rats) to OTM rats and recorded the aforementioned measurement indices. RESULTS Piezo1, bone-related factors and Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway levels were elevated on the tension side by orthodontic force in the OTM model. GsMTX4 administration downregulated the aforementioned factors and reduced the tooth movement rate. CONCLUSIONS Piezo1 is essential for alveolar bone remodeling during OTM. The Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway might participate in Piezo1-mediated bone remodeling.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease that can increase the risk of fractures, leading to adverse health and socioeconomic consequences. However, current clinical methods have limitations in accurately estimating fracture risk, particularly in older adults. Thus, new technologies are necessary to improve the accuracy of fracture risk estimation. In this observational study, we aimed to explore the association between serum cytokines and hip fracture status in older adults, and their associations with fracture risk using the FRAX reference tool. We investigated the use of a proximity extension assay (PEA) with Olink. We compared the characteristics of the population, functional status and detailed body composition (determined using densitometry) between groups. We enrolled 40 participants, including 20 with hip fracture and 20 without fracture, and studied 46 cytokines in their serum. After conducting a score plot and two unpaired t-tests using the Benjamini-Hochberg method, we found that Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α), Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3LG), Colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), and Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7) were significantly different between fracture and non-fracture patients (p < 0.05). IL-6 had a moderate correlation with FRAX (R2 = 0.409, p < 0.001), while CSF1 and CCL7 had weak correlations with FRAX. LT-α and FLT3LG exhibited a negative correlation with the risk of fracture. Our results suggest that targeted proteomic tools have the capability to identify differentially regulated proteins and may serve as potential markers for estimating fracture risk. However, longitudinal studies will be necessary to validate these results and determine the temporal patterns of changes in cytokine profiles.

Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a second-generation blood concentrate that serves as an autologous approach for both soft and hard tissue regeneration. It provides a scaffold for cell interaction and promotes the local release of growth factors. PRF has been investigated as an alternative to bone tissue therapy, with the potential to expedite wound healing and bone regeneration, though the mechanisms involved are not yet fully understood. This review aims to explore the in vitro evidence of PRF's effects on the behavior of mineralizing cells related to bone tissue regeneration. A systematic electronic search was conducted up to August 2023, utilizing three databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. A total of 76 studies were selected, which presented in vitro evidence of PRF's usefulness, either alone or in conjunction with other biomaterials, for bone tissue treatment. PRF membranes' influence on the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of bone cells is linked to the constant release of growth factors, resulting in changes in crucial markers of bone cell metabolism and behavior. This further reinforces their therapeutic potential in wound healing and bone regeneration. While there are some notable differences among the studies, the overall results suggest a positive effect of PRF on cell proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and a reduction in inflammation. This points to its therapeutic potential in the field of regenerative medicine. Collectively, these findings may help enhance our understanding of how PRF impacts basic physiological processes in bone and mineralized tissue.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a complex process that requires not only the participation of multiple cell types, but also signal communication between cells. The two basic processes of osteogenesis and angiogenesis are closely related to bone regeneration and bone homeostasis. H-type vessels are a subtype of bone vessels characterized by high expression of CD31 and EMCN. These vessels play a key role in the regulation of bone regeneration and are important mediators of coupling between osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Molecular regulation between different cell types is important for coordination of osteogenesis and angiogenesis that promotes bone regeneration. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that predominantly regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are closely related to cell communication. Specifically, miRNAs transduce external stimuli through various cell signaling pathways and cause a series of physiological and pathological effects. They are also deeply involved in the bone repair process. This review focuses on three signaling pathways related to osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling, as well as the miRNAs involved in these pathways. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms governing osteogenesis and angiogenesis is of great significance for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, increased bone fragility, and fracture susceptibility. It commonly occurs in older people, especially postmenopausal women. As global ageing increases, osteoporosis has become a global burden. There are a number of medications available for the treatment of osteoporosis, categorized as anabolic and anti-resorptive. Unfortunately, there is no drugs which have dual influence on bone, while all drugs have limitations and adverse events. Some serious adverse events include jaw osteonecrosis and atypical femoral fracture. Recently, a novel medication has appeared that challenges this pattern. Romosozumab is a novel drug monoclonal antibody to sclerostin encoded by the SOST gene. It has been used in Japan since 2019 and has achieved promising results in treating osteoporosis. However, it is also accompanied by some controversy. While it promotes rapid bone growth, it may cause serious adverse events such as cardiovascular diseases. There has been scepticism about the drug since its inception. Therefore, the present review comprehensively covered romosozumab from its inception to its clinical application, from animal studies to human studies, and from safety to cost. We hope to provide a better understanding of romosozumab for its clinical application.

Abstract
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a painful disorder characterized by the cessation of blood supply to the femoral head, leading to its death and subsequent joint collapse. Influenced by several risk factors, including corticosteroid use, excessive alcohol intake, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and some inflammatory disorders, along with cancer, its clinical consequences are thrombus formation due to underlying inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, which collaborates with coagulopathy and impaired angiogenesis. Nonetheless, angiogenesis resolves the obstructed free flow of the blood by providing alternative routes. Clinical manifestations of early stage of ANFH mimic cysts or lesions in subchondral bone, vasculitis and transient osteoporosis of the hip, rendering it difficult to diagnose, complex to understand and complicated to cure. To date, the treatment methods for ANFH are controversial as no foolproof curative strategy is available, and these depend upon different severity levels of the ANFH. From an in-depth understanding of the pathological determinants of ANFH, it is clear that impaired angiogenesis, coagulopathy and endothelial dysfunction contribute significantly. The present review has set two aims, firstly to examine the role and relevance of this molecular triad (impaired angiogenesis, coagulopathy and endothelial dysfunction) in ANFH pathology and secondly to propose some putative therapeutic strategies, delineating the fact that, for the better management of ANFH, a combined strategy to curtail this molecular triangle must be composed rather than focusing on individual contributions.

Abstract
Increasing evidence highlights a robust correlation between the gut microbiota and bone diseases; however, the existence of a causal relationship between them remains unclear. In this study, we thoroughly examined the correlation between gut microbiota and skeletal diseases using genome-wide association studies. Linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization were used to probe genetic causality. Furthermore, the potential mediating role of neuropsychological states (i.e., cognition, depression, and insomnia) between the gut microbiota and bone diseases was evaluated using mediation analysis, with genetic colocalization analysis revealing potential targets. These findings suggest a direct causal relationship between Ruminococcaceae and knee osteoarthritis (OA), which appears to be mediated by cognitive performance and insomnia. Similarly, a causal association was observed between Burkholderiales and lumbar pelvic fractures, mediated by cognitive performance. Colocalization analysis identified a shared causal variant (rs2352974) at the TRAF-interacting protein locus for cognitive ability and knee OA. This study provides compelling evidence that alterations in the gut microbiota can enhance cognitive ability, ameliorate insomnia, and potentially reduce the risk of site-specific fractures and OA. Therefore, strategies targeting gut microbiota optimization could serve as novel and effective preventive measures against fractures and OA.

Abstract
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disorder affecting tissues of mesenchymal origin. Most individuals with HGPS harbor a de novo c.1824C > T (p.G608G) mutation in the gene encoding lamin A (LMNA), which activates a cryptic splice donor site resulting in production of the toxic "progerin" protein. Clinical manifestations include growth deficiency, lipodystrophy, sclerotic dermis, cardiovascular defects, and bone dysplasia. Here we utilized the LmnaG609G knock-in (KI) mouse model of HGPS to further define mechanisms of bone loss associated with normal and premature aging disorders. Newborn skeletal staining of KI mice revealed altered rib cage shape and spinal curvature, and delayed calvarial mineralization with increased craniofacial and mandibular cartilage content. MicroCT analysis and mechanical testing of adult femurs indicated increased fragility associated with reduced bone mass, recapitulating the progressive bone deterioration that occurs in HGPS patients. We investigated mechanisms of bone loss in KI mice at the cellular level in bone cell populations. Formation of wild-type and KI osteoclasts from marrow-derived precursors was inhibited by KI osteoblast-conditioned media in vitro, suggesting a secreted factor(s) responsible for decreased osteoclasts on KI trabecular surfaces in vivo. Cultured KI osteoblasts exhibited abnormal differentiation characterized by reduced deposition and mineralization of extracellular matrix with increased lipid accumulation compared to wild-type, providing a mechanism for altered bone formation. Furthermore, quantitative analyses of KI transcripts confirmed upregulation of adipogenic genes both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, osteoblast phenotypic plasticity, inflammation and altered cellular cross-talk contribute to abnormal bone formation in HGPS mice.

Engineering a Pro-Osteogenic Secretome through the Transient Silencing of the Gene Encoding Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 1. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:12399. [PMID: 37569774 PMCID: PMC10419110 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241512399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The evidence sustaining the regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells' (MSCs) secretome has prompted a paradigm change, where MSCs have shifted from being considered direct contributors to tissue regeneration toward being seen as cell factories for producing biotech medicines. We have previously designed a method to prime MSCs towards osteogenic differentiation by silencing the Wnt/β-Catenin inhibitor Sfpr1. This approach produces a significant increase in bone formation in osteoporotic mice. In this current work, we set to investigate the contribution of the secretome from the MSCs where Sfrp1 has been silenced, to the positive effect seen on bone regeneration in vivo. The conditioned media (CM) of the murine MSCs line C3H10T1/2, where Sfrp1 has been transiently silenced (CM-Sfrp1), was found to induce, in vitro, an increase in the osteogenic differentiation of this same cell line, as well as a decrease of the expression of the Wnt inhibitor Dkk1 in murine osteocytes ex vivo. A reduction in the RANKL/OPG ratio was also detected ex vivo, suggesting a negative effect of CM-Sfrp1 on osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, this CM significantly increases the mineralization of human primary MSCs isolated from osteoportotic patients in vitro. Proteomic analysis identified enrichment of proteins involved in osteogenesis within the soluble and vesicular fractions of this secretome. Altogether, we demonstrate the pro-osteogenic potential of the secretome of MSCs primmed in this fashion, suggesting that this is a valid approach to enhance the osteo-regenerative properties of MSCs' secretome.

Abstract
TMBIM6 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that modulates various physiological and pathological processes, including metabolism and cancer. However, its involvement in bone remodeling has not been investigated. In this study, we demonstrate that TMBIM6 serves as a crucial negative regulator of osteoclast differentiation, a process essential for bone remodeling. Our investigation of Tmbim6-knockout mice revealed an osteoporotic phenotype, and knockdown of Tmbim6 inhibited the formation of multinucleated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells, which are characteristic of osteoclasts. Transcriptome and immunoblot analyses uncovered that TMBIM6 exerts its inhibitory effect on osteoclastogenesis by scavenging reactive oxygen species and preventing p65 nuclear localization. Additionally, TMBIM6 depletion was found to promote p65 localization to osteoclast-related gene promoters. Notably, treatment with N-acetyl cysteine, an antioxidant, impeded the osteoclastogenesis induced by TMBIM6-depleted cells, supporting the role of TMBIM6 in redox regulation. Furthermore, we discovered that TMBIM6 controls redox regulation via NRF2 signaling pathways. Our findings establish TMBIM6 as a critical regulator of osteoclastogenesis and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Aging is an inevitable biological process, and longevity may be related to bone health. Maintaining strong bone health can extend one's lifespan, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Bone and extraosseous organs, including the heart and brain, have complex and precise communication mechanisms. In addition to its load bearing capacity, the skeletal system secretes cytokines, which play a role in bone regulation of extraosseous organs. FGF23, OCN, and LCN2 are three representative bone-derived cytokines involved in energy metabolism, endocrine homeostasis and systemic chronic inflammation levels. Today, advanced research methods provide new understandings of bone as a crucial endocrine organ. For example, gene editing technology enables bone-specific conditional gene knockout models, which allows the study of bone-derived cytokines to be more precise. We systematically evaluated the various effects of bone-derived cytokines on extraosseous organs and their possible antiaging mechanism. Targeting aging with the current knowledge of the healthy skeletal system is a potential therapeutic strategy. Therefore, we present a comprehensive review that summarizes the current knowledge and provides insights for futures studies.

CD9 negatively regulates collective electrotaxis of the epidermal monolayer by controlling and coordinating the polarization of leader cells. BURNS & TRAUMA 2023; 11:tkad012.

Abstract
Background Endogenous electric fields (EFs) play an essential role in guiding the coordinated collective migration of epidermal cells to the wound centre during wound healing. Although polarization of leadercells is essential for collective migration, the signal mechanisms responsible for the EF-induced polarization of leader cells under electrotactic collective migration remain unclear. This study aims to determine how the leader cells are polarized and coordinated during EF-guided collective migration of epidermal cell sheets. Methods Collective migration of the human epidermal monolayer (human immortalized keratinocytes HaCaT) under EFs was observed via time-lapse microscopy. The involvement of tetraspanin-29 (CD9) in EF-induced fibrous actin (F-actin) polarization of leader cells as well as electrotactic migration of the epidermal monolayer was evaluated by genetic manipulation. Blocking, rescue and co-culture experiments were conducted to explore the downstream signalling of CD9. Results EFs guided the coordinated collective migration of the epithelial monolayer to the anode, with dynamic formation of pseudopodia in leader cells at the front edge of the monolayer along the direction of migration. F-actin polarization, as expected, played an essential role in pseudopod formation in leader cells under EFs. By confocal microscopy, we found that CD9 was colocalized with F-actin on the cell surface and was particularly downregulated in leader cells by EFs. Interestingly, genetic overexpression of CD9 abolished EF-induced F-actin polarization in leader cells as well as collective migration in the epidermal monolayer. Mechanistically, CD9 determined the polarization of F-actin in leader cells by downregulating a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17/heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor/epidermal growth factor receptor (ADAM17/HB-EGF/EGFR) signalling. The abolished polarization of leader cells due to CD9 overexpression could be restored in a co-culture monolayer where normal cells and CD9-overexpressing cells were mixed; however, this restoration was eliminated again by the addition of the HB-EGF-neutralizing antibody. Conclusion CD9 functions as a key regulator in the EF-guided collective migration of the epidermal monolayer by controlling and coordinating the polarization of leader cells through ADAM17/HB-EGF/EGFR signalling.

Abstract
Protaetia brevitarsis (PB)-derived bioactive substances have been used as food and medicine in many Asian countries because of their antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-cancer, and hepatoprotective properties. However, the effect of PB extracts (PBE) on osteoclast differentiation is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of PBE on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). To investigate the cytotoxicity of PBE, the viability of BMMs was confirmed via MTT assay. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and pit assays were performed to confirm the inhibitory effect of PBE on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. The expression levels of osteoclast differentiation-related genes and proteins were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting. PBE attenuated osteoclastogenesis in BMMs in TRAP and pit assays without cytotoxicity. The expression levels of osteoclast marker genes and proteins induced by RANKL were decreased after PBE treatment. PBE suppressed osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the RANKL-induced activated JNK/NF-κB/PLCγ2 signaling pathway and the expression of NFATc1 and c-Fos. Collectively, these results suggest that PBE could be a potential therapeutic strategy or functional product for osteoclast-related bone disease.

Comparative Study of the Cytokine Profiles of Serum and Tissues from Patients with the Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2021. [PMID: 37509659 PMCID: PMC10377187 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11072021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is one of the contributing factors leading to severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The mechanism causing ossification is still unclear. The current study was designed to analyze the specimens of patients with or without OPLL. METHODS The study collected 51 patients with cervical spondylosis. There were six serum samples in both the non-OPLL (NOPLL) and OPLL groups. For tissue analysis, there were seven samples in the NOPLL group and five samples in the OPLL group. The specimens of serum and tissue were analyzed by using Human Cytokine Antibody Arrays to differentiate biomarkers between the OPLL and NOPLL groups, as well as between serum and OPLL tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the ligament tissue was undertaken for both groups. RESULTS For OPLL vs. NOPLL, the serum leptin levels are higher in the OPLL group, corroborating others' observations that it may serve as a disease marker. In the tissue, angiogenin (ANG), osteopontin (OPN), and osteopro-tegerin (OPG) are higher than they are in the OPLL group (p < 0.05). For serum vs. OPLL tissue, many chemotactic cytokines demonstrated elevated levels of MIP1 delta, MCP-1, and RANTES in the serum, while many cytokines promoting or regulating bone genesis were up-regulated in tissue (oncostatin M, FGF-9, LIF, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, TGF-beta2), as well as the factor that inhibits osteoclastogenesis (IL-10), with very few cytokines responsible for osteoclastogenesis. Molecules promoting angiogenesis, including angiotensin, vEGF, and osteoprotegerin, are abundant in the OPLL tissue, which paves the way for robust bone growth.
