Abstract
Background It is well-established that osteoclast activity is significantly influenced by fluctuations in intracellular pH. Consequently, a pH-sensitive gated nano-drug delivery system represents a promising therapeutic approach to mitigate osteoclast overactivity. Our prior research indicated that naringin, a natural flavonoid, effectively mitigates osteoclast activity. However, naringin showed low oral availability and short half-life, which hinders its clinical application. We developed a drug delivery system wherein chitosan, as gatekeepers, coats mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with naringin (CS@MSNs-Naringin). However, the inhibitory effects of CS@MSNs-Naringin on osteoclasts and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, warranting further research. Methods First, we synthesized CS@MSNs-Naringin and conducted a comprehensive characterization. We also measured drug release rates in a pH gradient solution and verified its biosafety. Subsequently, we investigated the impact of CS@MSNs-Naringin on osteoclasts induced by bone marrow-derived macrophages, focusing on differentiation and bone resorption activity while exploring potential mechanisms. Finally, we established a rat model of bilateral critical-sized calvarial bone defects, in which CS@MSNs-Naringin was dispersed in GelMA hydrogel to achieve in situ drug delivery. We observed the ability of CS@MSNs-Naringin to promote bone regeneration and inhibit osteoclast activity in vivo. Results CS@MSNs-Naringin exhibited high uniformity and dispersity, low cytotoxicity (concentration≤120 μg/mL), and significant pH sensitivity. In vitro, compared to Naringin and MSNs-Naringin, CS@MSNs-Naringin more effectively inhibited the formation and bone resorption activity of osteoclasts. This effect was accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of key factors in the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, increased apoptosis levels, and a subsequent reduction in the production of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins. In vivo, CS@MSNs-Naringin outperformed Naringin and MSNs-Naringin, promoting new bone formation while inhibiting osteoclast activity to a greater extent. Conclusion Our research suggested that CS@MSNs-Naringin exhibited the strikingly ability to anti-osteoclasts in vitro and in vivo, moreover promoted bone regeneration in the calvarial bone defect.

Abstract
In the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, various signaling pathways may influence the bone joint through a common terminal pathway, thereby contributing to the pathological remodeling of the joint. Semaphorins (SEMAs) are cell-surface proteins actively involved in and primarily responsible for regulating chondrocyte function in the pathophysiological process of osteoarthritis (OA). The significance of the SEMA family in OA is increasingly acknowledged as pivotal. This review aims to summarize the mechanisms through which different members of the SEMA family impact various structures within joints. The findings indicate that SEMA3A and SEMA4D are particularly relevant to OA, as they participate in cartilage injury, subchondral bone remodeling, or synovitis. Additionally, other elements such as SEMA4A and SEMA5A may also contribute to the onset and progression of OA by affecting different components of the bone and joint. The mentioned mechanisms demonstrate the indispensable role of SEMA family members in OA, although the detailed mechanisms still require further exploration.

Abstract
Implant osseointegration is reduced in patients with systemic conditions that compromise bone quality, such as osteoporosis, disuse syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Studies using rodent models designed to mimic these compromised conditions demonstrated reduced bone-to-implant contact (BIC) or a decline in bone mineral density. These adverse effects are a consequence of disrupted intercellular communication. A variety of approaches have been developed to compensate for the altered microenvironment inherent in compromised conditions, including the use of biologics and implant surface modification. Chemical and physical modification of surface properties at the microscale, mesoscale, and nanoscale levels to closely resemble the surface topography of osteoclast resorption pits found in bone has proven to be a highly effective strategy for improving implant osseointegration. The addition of hydrophilicity to the surface further enhances osteoblast response at the bone-implant interface. These surface modifications, applied either alone or in combination, improve osseointegration by increasing proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells and enhancing angiogenesis while modulating osteoclast activity to achieve net new bone formation, although the specific effects vary with surface treatment. In addition to direct effects on surface-attached cells, the communication between bone marrow stromal cells and immunomodulatory cells is sensitive to these surface properties. This article reports on the advances in titanium surface modifications, alone and in combination with novel therapeutics in animal models of human disease affecting bone quality. It offers clinically translatable perspectives for clinicians to consider when using different surface modification strategies to improve long-term implant performance in compromised patients. This review supports the use of surface modifications, bioactive coatings, and localized therapeutics as pragmatic approaches to improve BIC and enhance osteogenic activity from both structural and molecular standpoints.

Naringin activates semaphorin 3A to ameliorate TGF-β-induced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition related to atrial fibrillation. J Cell Physiol 2024; 239:e31248. [PMID: 38501506 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31248] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
The loss of semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), which is related to endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in atrial fibrosis, is implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). To explore the mechanisms by which EndMT affects atrial fibrosis and assess the potential of a Sema3A activator (naringin) to prevent atrial fibrosis by targeting transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)-induced EndMT, we used human atria, isolated human atrial endocardial endothelial cells (AEECs), and used transgenic mice expressing TGF-β specifically in cardiac tissues (TGF-β transgenic mice). We evaluated an EndMT marker (Twist), a proliferation marker (proliferating cell nuclear antigen; PCNA), and an endothelial cell (EC) marker (CD31) through triple immunohistochemistry and confirmed that both EndMT and EC proliferation contribute to atrial endocardial fibrosis during AF in TGF-β transgenic mice and AF patient tissue sections. Additionally, we investigated the impact of naringin on EndMT and EC proliferation in AEECs and atrial fibroblasts. Naringin exhibited an antiproliferative effect, to which AEECs were more responsive. Subsequently, we downregulated Sema3A in AEECs using small interfering RNA to clarify a correlation between the reduction in Sema3A and the elevation of EndMT markers. Naringin treatment induced the expression of Sema3A and a concurrent decrease in EndMT markers. Furthermore, naringin administration ameliorated AF and endocardial fibrosis in TGF-β transgenic mice by stimulating Sema3A expression, inhibiting EndMT markers, reducing atrial fibrosis, and lowering AF vulnerability. This suggests therapeutic potential for naringin in AF treatment.

Abstract
Immobilization-induced skeletal unloading results in muscle atrophy and rapid bone loss, thereby increasing the risk of falling and the need for implant therapy in patients with extended bed rest or neuromuscular injuries. Skeletal unloading causes bone loss by altering bone growth and resorption, suggesting that implant performance might be affected. To test this, we focused on early events in implant osseointegration. We used the rat sciatic neurectomy-induced disuse model under two different settings. In Study 1, 16 Sprague Dawley rats (SD) were separated into control, sham operated+cast immobilization, and sciatic neurectomy+casting groups; titanium implants with multiscale microtextured topography and hydrophilic chemistry (modSLA) were inserted in the distal femoral metaphysis. Neurectomy surgeries and casting were performed at the same surgical setting as implant placement; rats were euthanized 4 weeks post-implantation. In Study 2, we established the unloaded condition before implantation. A total of 12 SD rats were divided into control and sciatic+femoral neurectomy groups. A total of 24 days after sciatic and femoral neurectomy surgery, rats received implants. Study 2 rats were euthanized at 4 weeks post-implantation. MicroCT and histomorphometry showed that trabecular bone and osseointegration were reduced when disuse was established before implantation. Osteoblasts isolated from Study 1 sciatic neurectomy tibial bones exhibited impaired differentiation on modSLA culture disks, revealing a possible mechanism responsible for the decreased osseointegration observed in the Study 2 rats. This study addressed the importance of considering the mechanical unloading and muscle function history before implant insertion and suggests that implant performance was reduced due to poor cellular ability to regenerate.

Abstract
Sensory nerves play a crucial role in maintaining bone homeostasis by releasing Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A). However, the specific mechanism of Sema3A in regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) during bone remodelling remains unclear. The tibial denervation model was used and the denervated tibia exhibited significantly lower mass as compared to sham operated bones. In vitro, BMMSCs cocultured with dorsal root ganglion cells (DRGs) or stimulated by Sema3A could promote osteogenic differentiation through the Wnt/β-catenin/Nrp1 positive feedback loop, and the enhancement of osteogenic activity could be inhibited by SM345431 (Sema3A-specific inhibitor). In addition, Sema3A-stimulated BMMSCs or intravenous injection of Sema3A could promote new bone formation in vivo. To sum up, the coregulation of bone remodelling is due to the ageing of BMMSCs and increased osteoclast activity. Furthermore, the sensory neurotransmitter Sema3A promotes osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs via Wnt/β-catenin/Nrp1 positive feedback loop, thus promoting osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic condition distinguished by the degradation of bone microstructure and mechanical characteristics. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been employed in China for the treatment of various illnesses. Naringin, an ingredient found in Drynariae TCM, is known to have a significant impact on bone metabolism. For this research, we studied the precise potential effect of Drynaria Naringin on protecting against bone loss caused by stress deficiency. In this study, a tail-suspension (TS) test was performed to establish a mouse model with hind leg bone loss. Some mice received subcutaneous injections of Drynaria Naringin for 30 d. Trabecular bone microarchitecture was evaluated using micro-computed tomography analysis and bone histological analysis. Bone formation and resorption markers were quantified in blood samples from mice or in the supernatant of MC3T3-E1 cells by ELISA analysis, Western blotting, and PCR. Immunofluorescence was utilized to visualize the location of β-catenin. Additionally, siRNA was employed to knockdown-specific genes in the cells. Our findings highlight the efficacy of Drynaria Naringin in protecting against the deterioration of bone loss and promoting bone formation and Rspo1 expression in a mouse model following the TS test. Specifically, in vitro experiments also indicated that Drynaria Naringin may promote osteogenesis through the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Moreover, our results suggest that Drynaria Naringin upregulates the expression of Rspo1/Lgr4, leading to the promotion of osteogenesis via the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Therefore, Drynaria Naringin holds potential as a therapeutic medication for osteoporosis. Drynaria Naringin alleviates bone loss deterioration caused by mechanical stress deficiency through the Rspo1/Lgr4-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.

Abstract
During evolution, the development of bone was critical for many species to thrive and function in the boundary conditions of Earth. Furthermore, bone also became a storehouse for calcium that could be mobilized for reproductive purposes in mammals and other species. The critical nature of bone for both function and reproductive needs during evolution in the context of the boundary conditions of Earth has led to complex regulatory mechanisms that require integration for optimization of this tissue across the lifespan. Three important regulatory variables include mechanical loading, sex hormones, and innervation/neuroregulation. The importance of mechanical loading has been the target of much research as bone appears to subscribe to the "use it or lose it" paradigm. Furthermore, because of the importance of post-menopausal osteoporosis in the risk for fractures and loss of function, this aspect of bone regulation has also focused research on sex differences in bone regulation. The advent of space flight and exposure to microgravity has also led to renewed interest in this unique environment, which could not have been anticipated by evolution, to expose new insights into bone regulation. Finally, a body of evidence has also emerged indicating that the neuroregulation of bone is also central to maintaining function. However, there is still more that is needed to understand regarding how such variables are integrated across the lifespan to maintain function, particularly in a species that walks upright. This review will attempt to discuss these regulatory elements for bone integrity and propose how further study is needed to delineate the details to better understand how to improve treatments for those at risk for loss of bone integrity, such as in the post-menopausal state or during prolonged space flight.

Abstract
Since the proposal of Paul Ehrlich's magic bullet concept over 100 years ago, tremendous advances have occurred in targeted therapy. From the initial selective antibody, antitoxin to targeted drug delivery that emerged in the past decades, more precise therapeutic efficacy is realized in specific pathological sites of clinical diseases. As a highly pyknotic mineralized tissue with lessened blood flow, bone is characterized by a complex remodeling and homeostatic regulation mechanism, which makes drug therapy for skeletal diseases more challenging than other tissues. Bone-targeted therapy has been considered a promising therapeutic approach for handling such drawbacks. With the deepening understanding of bone biology, improvements in some established bone-targeted drugs and novel therapeutic targets for drugs and deliveries have emerged on the horizon. In this review, we provide a panoramic summary of recent advances in therapeutic strategies based on bone targeting. We highlight targeting strategies based on bone structure and remodeling biology. For bone-targeted therapeutic agents, in addition to improvements of the classic denosumab, romosozumab, and PTH1R ligands, potential regulation of the remodeling process targeting other key membrane expressions, cellular crosstalk, and gene expression, of all bone cells has been exploited. For bone-targeted drug delivery, different delivery strategies targeting bone matrix, bone marrow, and specific bone cells are summarized with a comparison between different targeting ligands. Ultimately, this review will summarize recent advances in the clinical translation of bone-targeted therapies and provide a perspective on the challenges for the application of bone-targeted therapy in the clinic and future trends in this area.

Gan J, Deng X, Le Y, Lai J, Liao X. The Development of Naringin for Use against Bone and Cartilage Disorders. Molecules 2023; 28:3716. [PMID: 37175126 PMCID: PMC10180405 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28093716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone and cartilage disorders are the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. There is no absolute cure for all bone and cartilage disorders. The exploration of natural compounds for the potential therapeutic use against bone and cartilage disorders is proving promising. Among these natural chemicals, naringin, a flavanone glycoside, is a potential candidate due to its multifaceted pharmacological activities in bone and cartilage tissues. Emerging studies indicate that naringin may promote osteogenic differentiation, inhibit osteoclast formation, and exhibit protective effects against osteoporosis in vivo and in vitro. Many signaling pathways, such as BMP-2, Wnt/β-catenin, and VEGF/VEGFR, participate in the biological actions of naringin in mediating the pathological development of osteoporosis. In addition, the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress, and anti-apoptosis abilities of naringin also demonstrate its beneficial effects against bone and cartilage disorders, including intervertebral disc degeneration, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone and cartilage tumors, and tibial dyschondroplasia. Naringin exhibits protective effects against bone and cartilage disorders. However, more efforts are still needed due to, at least in part, the uncertainty of drug targets. Further biological and pharmacological evaluations of naringin and its applications in bone tissue engineering, particularly its therapeutic effects against osteoporosis, might result in developing potential drug candidates.

Abstract
Disuse and aging are known risk factors associated with low bone mass and quality deterioration, resulting in increased fracture risk. Indeed, current and emerging evidence implicate a large number of shared skeletal manifestations between disuse and aging scenarios. This review provides a detailed overview of current preclinical models of musculoskeletal disuse and the clinical scenarios they seek to recapitulate. We also explore and summarize the major similarities between bone loss after extreme disuse and advanced aging at multiple length scales, including at the organ/tissue, cellular, and molecular level. Specifically, shared structural and material alterations of bone loss are presented between disuse and aging, including preferential loss of bone at cancellous sites, cortical thinning, and loss of bone strength due to enhanced fragility. At the cellular level bone loss is accompanied, during disuse and aging, by increased bone resorption, decreased formation, and enhanced adipogenesis due to altered gap junction intercellular communication, WNT/β-catenin and RANKL/OPG signaling. Major differences between extreme short-term disuse and aging are discussed, including anatomical specificity, differences in bone turnover rates, periosteal modeling, and the influence of subject sex and genetic variability. The examination also identifies potential shared mechanisms underlying bone loss in aging and disuse that warrant further study such as collagen cross-linking, advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling, cellular senescence, and altered lacunar-canalicular connectivity (mechanosensation). Understanding the shared structural alterations, changes in bone cell function, and molecular mechanisms common to both extreme disuse and aging are paramount to discovering therapies to combat both age-related and disuse-induced osteoporosis. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medicines for the management of acid-related gastrointestinal diseases. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious adverse event that is associated with the use of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents. According to previous clinical reports, the use of PPIs contributes to the pathogenesis of severe ONJ that requires surgery. Here, we investigated the effects of lansoprazole (LP) or LP in combination with zoledronate (ZOL) on ONJ development in mice. C57BL/6J mice were administered ZOL (125 μg/kg intravenously, twice weekly) and/or LP (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally; 3 weeks of 3 consecutive days followed by 1 day off). One week after initiation of the study, the first molar was atraumatically extracted. Concurrently with ZOL administration, dexamethasone (Dex) was administered (5 mg/kg intraperitoneally, twice weekly). Micro-computed tomography and histological evaluation were performed to characterize femoral structures, tooth extraction sockets, and osteonecrosis areas. The results showed that ZOL/Dex significantly increased bone mass compared to saline/Dex, while the simultaneous administration of LP and ZOL/Dex diminished the ZOL-induced enhancement of bone mass. In the alveolar bone around the tooth extraction socket, necrotic bone was significantly increased in the LP/Dex group compared to the saline/Dex group. However, no signs of more severe ONJ-like lesions were observed following combined administration of LP and ZOL/Dex, other than an increase in the number of non-attached TRAP-positive cells. Our findings in a mouse model suggest that LP use can be a risk factor for the development of ONJ.

Bone 2021; 153:116145. [PMID: 34390886 PMCID: PMC8480339 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Metabolic bone is highly innervated by both sensory and sympathetic nerves. In addition to skeletal development, neural regulation participates in local bone remodeling, which is important for successful osseointegration of titanium implants. Neurectomy is a model used to investigate the lack of neural function on bone homeostasis, but the relative impacts of direct denervation to bone or denervation-induced muscle paralysis are less well defined. To investigate this difference, we used two nerve intervention models, sciatic and femoral neurectomy (SFN) v. botox-induced muscle paralysis (BTX) and assessed the resulting femoral bone phenotype and Ti implant osseointegration. Male Sprague Dawley rats (19) were randomly divided into three groups: implant control (n = 5), SFN (n = 7), and BTX (n = 7). Ti implants (microrough/hydrophilic [modSLA], Institut Straumann AG) were placed in the distal metaphysis of each femur on day 24 post-SFN or BTX. Bone and muscle were examined on day 28 after implant insertion. Both nerve intervention models impaired osseointegration. MicroCT and histology indicated that both models had reduced trabecular bone formation. Only BTX reduced cortical bone formation and increased cortical bone porosity. BTX resulted in more bone loss characterized by the least trabecular and cortical bone, as well as osseointegration. Osteoblasts isolated from the tibia exhibited a model-specific phenotype when they were grown on Ti substrates in vitro. Neurectomy caused more severe muscle atrophy than botox injection. These results indicate that neural regulation directly modulates bone formation and osseointegration. Muscle paralysis modulated the effects of loss of neural inputs into bone, supporting the hypothesis that mechanical loading of bone is a factor in achieving successful osseointegration. The different effects of botox and neurectomy on bone phenotype indicated that the sensory and sympathetic nerves had a role in the osseointegration process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Large bone defects are a common, debilitating clinical condition that have substantial global health and economic burden. Bone tissue engineering technology has become one of the most promising approaches for regenerating defective bones. In this study, we fabricated a naringin-inlaid composite silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite (NG/SF/HAp) scaffold to repair bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The salt-leaching technology was used to fabricate the NG/SF/HAp scaffold. The cytocompatibility of the NG/SF/HAp scaffold was assessed using scanning electron microscopy, live/dead cell staining and phalloidin staining. The osteogenic and angiogenic properties were assessed in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The porous NG/SF/HAp scaffold had a well-designed biomimetic porous structure with osteoinductive and angiogenic activities. A gene microarray identified 854 differentially expressed genes between human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) cultured on SF-nHAp scaffolds and cells cultured on NG/SF/HAp scaffolds. The underlying osteoblastic mechanism was investigated using hUCMSCs in vitro. Naringin facilitated hUCMSC ingrowth into the SF/HAp scaffold and promoted osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of cells cultured in the NG/SF/HAp scaffold were superior to those of cells cultured in the SF/HAp scaffold. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate the potential of the SF/HAp composite scaffold incorporating naringin for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Both microgravity and radiation exposure in the spaceflight environment have been identified as hazards to astronaut health and performance. Substantial study has been focused on understanding the biology and risks associated with prolonged exposure to microgravity, and the hazards presented by radiation from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPEs) outside of low earth orbit (LEO). To date, the majority of the ground-based analogues (e.g., rodent or cell culture studies) that investigate the biology of and risks associated with spaceflight hazards will focus on an individual hazard in isolation. However, astronauts will face these challenges simultaneously Combined hazard studies are necessary for understanding the risks astronauts face as they travel outside of LEO, and are also critical for countermeasure development. The focus of this review is to describe biologic and functional outcomes from ground-based analogue models for microgravity and radiation, specifically highlighting the combined effects of radiation and reduced weight-bearing from rodent ground-based tail suspension via hind limb unloading (HLU) and partial weight-bearing (PWB) models, although in vitro and spaceflight results are discussed as appropriate. The review focuses on the skeletal, ocular, central nervous system (CNS), cardiovascular, and stem cells responses.

Abstract
Naringin is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in plants of the Citrus genus that has historically been used in traditional Chinese medical regimens for the treatment of osteoporosis. Naringin modulates signaling through numerous molecular pathways critical to musculoskeletal development, cellular differentiation, and inflammation. Administration of naringin increases in vitro expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin and extracellular signal-related kinase (Erk) pathways, thereby promoting osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation from stem cell precursors for bone formation. Naringin also inhibits osteoclastogenesis by both modifying RANK/RANKL interactions and inducing apoptosis in osteoclasts in vitro. In addition, naringin acts on the estrogen receptor in bone to mimic the native bone-preserving effects of estrogen, with few systemic side effects on other estrogen-sensitive tissues. The efficacy of naringin therapy in reducing the osteolysis characteristic of common musculoskeletal pathologies such as osteoporosis, degenerative joint disease, and osteomyelitis, as well as inflammatory conditions affecting bone such as diabetes mellitus, has been extensively demonstrated in vitro and in animal models. Naringin thus represents a naturally abundant, cost-efficient agent whose potential for use in novel musculoskeletal biotherapies warrants re-visiting and further exploration through human studies. Here, we review the cellular mechanisms of action that have been elucidated regarding the action of naringin on bone resident cells and the bone microenvironment, in vivo evidence of naringin’s osteostimulative and chondroprotective properties in the setting of osteolytic bone disease, and current limitations in the development of naringin-containing translational therapies for common musculoskeletal conditions.

Naringin inhibits autophagy mediated by PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway to ameliorate endothelial cell dysfunction induced by high glucose/high fat stress. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 874:173003.

Abstract
As a flavonoid, naringin (Nar) has been shown to have multiple pharmacological effects including lowering blood cholesterol, reducing thrombus formation and improving microcirculation. However, effects of Nar on function and autophagy of vascular endothelial cells under high glucose and high fat (HG/HF) stress are largely unclear. This study was designed to investigate such effects of Nar in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to determine whether such effects are related to autophagy. Our present results show that 86 μM of Nar inhibits the autophagy levels and protects the cells against the dysfunction induced by HG/HF stress. Moreover, Nar increases the phosphorylation levels of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt) and mammalian rapamycin target protein (mTOR). However, pretreatment with rapamycin (RAPA, 5 μM, autophagy inducer), LY294002(10 μM, PI3K inhibitor) and Akt inhibitor Ⅳ (0.5 μM, Akt inhibitor) partially abrogates the protective effects of Nar, suggesting that the protective effects of Nar are achieved by activating the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway to inhibit autophagy. In conclusion, Nar improves the function of HUVECs under HG/HF stress through activating the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway to inhibit autophagy. The findings offer an insight into HG/HF stress-induced autophagy and indicate that Nar might have potential to prevent and treat the diabetic angiopathy.

MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2019; 30:107. [PMID: 31512084 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-019-6309-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, collagen hydrogel containing naringin was fabricated, characterized and used as the scaffold for peripheral nerve damage treatment. The collagen was dissolved in acetic acid, naringin added to the collagen solution, and cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide powder (EDC; 0.10 mM) to form the hydrogel. The microstructure, swelling behavior, biodegradation, and cyto/hemocompatibility of the fabricated hydrogels were assessed. Finally, the healing efficacy of the prepared collagen hydrogel loaded with naringin on the sciatic nerve crush injury was assessed in the animal model. The characterization results showed that the fabricated hydrogels have a porous structure containing interconnected pores with the average pore size of 90 µm. The degradation results demonstrated that about 70% of the primary weight of the naringin loaded hydrogel had been lost after 4 weeks of storage in PBS. The in vitro study showed that the proliferation of Schwann cells on the collagen/naringin hydrogel was higher than the control group (tissue culture plate) at both 48 and 72 h after cell seeding and even significantly higher than pure collagen 72 h after cell seeding (*p < 0.005, **p < 0.001). The animal study implied that the sciatic functional index reached to -22.13 ± 3.00 at the end of 60th days post-implantation which was statistically significant (p < 0.05) compared with the negative control (injury without the treatment) (-82.60 ± 1.06), and the pure collagen hydrogel (-59.80 ± 3.20) groups. The hot plate latency test, the compound muscle action potential, and wet weight-loss of the gastrocnemius muscle evaluation confirmed the positive effect of the prepared hydrogels on the healing process of the induced nerve injury. In the final, the histopathologic examinations depicted that the collagen/naringin hydrogel group reduced all the histological changes induced from the nerve injury and showed more resemblance to the normal sciatic nerve, with well-arranged fibers and intact myelin sheath. The overall results implied that the prepared collagen/naringin hydrogel can be utilized as a sophisticated alternative to healing peripheral nerve damages.

Abstract
The burst release of active osteogenic factors, which is not beneficial to osteogenesis, is commonly encountered in bone tissue engineering. The aims of this study were to prepare naringin-loaded microsphere/sucrose acetate isobutyrate (Ng-m-SAIB) hybrid depots, reduce the burst release of naringin (Ng), and improve osteogenesis. The morphology and size distributions of electrosprayed Ng-microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Ng-microspheres and Ng-m-SAIB depots were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and in vitro release studies. In vitro osteoblast-microsphere interactions and in vivo osteogenesis were assessed after implantation of Ng-m-SAIB depots. The addition of sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) to monodisperse Ng-microspheres did not cause a change in the chemical structure. The performances of the microspheres in osteoblast-microsphere interactions were better when the naringin content was 4% than when it was at 2% and 6%. On the first day following the loading of Ng-microspheres (2%, 4%, and 6%) into SAIB depots, the burst release was reduced dramatically from 70.9% to 6.3%, 73.1% to 7.2%, and 73.9% to 9.9%, respectively. In addition, after 8 weeks, the new bone formation rate in the calvarial defects of SD rats receiving Ng-m-SAIB was 53.1% compared to 21.2% for the control group and 16.1% for the microsphere-SAIB group. These results demonstrated that Ng-m-SAIB hybrid depots may have promise in bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
In ovo injection (IOI) of Naringin (N), flavanone was examined on post-hatch blood biochemical parameters, antioxidant status and bone characteristics. Fertile eggs (n = 700) were distributed in seven groups with 100 eggs. On 14th and 17.5th days of incubation, four groups were injected using 15 or 30 mg active ingredient levels of naringin/0.5 ml saline/egg, low and high level, into amnion sac. Controls include sham (injected normal saline, 0.5 ml/egg on day 14 and 17.5th) and un-injected group. IOI of high naringin and saline on 14th day of incubation resulted in lower hatchability and then higher mortality in last week of embryonic life. On day hatch, high levels of injected groups more body weight compared to the control. Chick length was increased at high levels of naringin on day 17.5th compared to control and saline injected. Quality traits of bones were improved in naringin-injected groups compared to control. IOI of naringin influenced thyroid hormones on 14th day of incubation. Naringin groups influenced the Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Calcium (Ca), superoxide dismutase (SOD), blood biochemical and lipids. Totally, amniotic IOI of naringin in last days of developing embryo may be useful for hatched chick, development of leg long bone or effect on biochemical metabolites by levels of flavanone that it needs more research.

Abstract
This study aimed to shed light on the protective and therapeutic anti-osteoporotic effects and mechanisms of action of grapefruit juice (GFJ) on prednisolone-induced osteoporosis a rat femoral fracture model. We found that treating rats with GFJ before and/or after prednisolone-induced osteoporosis resulted in increased bone density, total mineral content, and calcium content to counteract the osteoporotic effects of prednisolone. In parallel, the histological and ultrastructural results of the GFJ-treated groups correlated well with enhanced breaking strength of femurs subjected to a constant load. Furthermore, GFJ treatment before and after prednisolone-induced osteoporosis decreased plasma alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activities and increased the level of insulin-like growth factor 1. Mechanistically, our immunohistochemistry study showed that GFJ ameliorated prednisolone-induced osteocalcin depletion, decreased receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) expression, and increased osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression. GFJ showed a beneficial anti-osteoporotic effect against prednisolone-induced osteoporosis in rats, possibly via the RANKL/OPG axis, suggesting that GFJ might be a good candidate for developing anti-osteoporotic drugs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigates the effects of semaphorin 3A on new bone formation in an experimental rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cortical bone defects, 5 mm, were created in the calvaria of 40 Wistar rats, which were then separated into three groups: empty defect (control) group, collagen group, collagen + semaphorin 3A group. The bone blocks were harvested after 4 and 8 weeks. New bone formation was assessed by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), histology, histomorphometry, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Increased bone formation was observed in collagen + semaphorin 3A groups both histologically and with micro-CT. In the histomorphometic analysis, the control group had significantly less bone formation compared to both the collagen and collagen + semaphorin 3A group at 4 weeks (p = 0.0001) and 8 weeks (p = 0.0001). The collagen group had significantly less bone formation compared to collagen + semaphorin 3A group both at 4 weeks (p = 0.002) and 8 weeks (p = 0.005). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that semaphorin 3A inhibited receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) expression and increased the expressions of osteoblastic bone markers at 4 weeks. In TEM analysis, the collagen + semaphorin 3A group had an increased proliferation and bone formation rate at 4 weeks, whereas bone quantity and maturation were enhanced at 8 weeks. CONCLUSION Locally applied semaphorin 3A increases callus formation at 4 weeks and bone formation at 8 weeks. Semaphorin 3A prevents bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclasts and increases bone formation by inducing osteoblasts.

Abstract
Naringin (NA) is one of typical flavanone glycosides widely distributed in nature and possesses several biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic. The aim of this study was to develop solid dispersion (SD) and to improve the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of NA. NA-SD was prepared by the traditional preparation methods using PEG6000, F68, or PVP K30 as carrier at different drug to carrier ratios. According to the results of solubility and in vitro dissolution test, the NA-PEG6000 (1:3) SD was considered as an optimal formulation to characterize by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, oral bioavailabilities of NA-PEG6000 (1:3) SD and NA-suspension with the same dosage were investigated in SD rats. The results confirmed the formation of SD and the pharmacokinetic parameters of NA-PEG6000 (1:3) SD (Cmax = 0.645 ± 0.262 µg/ml, AUC0-t = 0.471 ± 0.084 µg/ml h) were higher than that of NA-suspension (Cmax = 0.328 ± 0.183 µg/ml, AUC0-t = 0.361 ± 0.093 µg/ml h). Based on the results, the SD is considered as a promising approach to enhance the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of NA.

Abstract
Drynaria roosii (Nakaike) is a traditional Chinese medicinal fern, known as 'GuSuiBu'. The effective components, naringin and neoeriocitrin, share a highly similar chemical structure and medicinal function. Our HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) results showed that the accumulation of naringin/neoeriocitrin depended on specific tissues or ages. However, little was known about the expression patterns of naringin/neoeriocitrin-related genes involved in their regulatory pathways. Due to a lack of basic genetic information, we applied a combination of single molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing and second-generation sequencing (SGS) to generate the complete and full-length transcriptome of D. roosii. According to the SGS data, the differentially expressed gene (DEG)-based heat map analysis revealed that naringin/neoeriocitrin-related gene expression exhibited obvious tissue- and time-specific transcriptomic differences. Using the systems biology method of modular organization analysis, we clustered 16,472 DEGs into 17 gene modules and studied the relationships between modules and tissue/time point samples, as well as modules and naringin/neoeriocitrin contents. We found that naringin/neoeriocitrin-related DEGs distributed in nine distinct modules, and DEGs in these modules showed significantly different patterns of transcript abundance to be linked to specific tissues or ages. Moreover, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) results further identified that PAL, 4CL and C4H, and C3H and HCT acted as the major hub genes involved in naringin and neoeriocitrin synthesis, respectively, and exhibited high co-expression with MYB- and basic helix-leucine-helix (bHLH)-regulated genes. In this work, modular organization and co-expression networks elucidated the tissue and time specificity of the gene expression pattern, as well as hub genes associated with naringin/neoeriocitrin synthesis in D. roosii. Simultaneously, the comprehensive transcriptome data set provided important genetic information for further research on D. roosii.

Abstract
The use of natural compounds for treating chronic bone diseases holds remarkable potential. Among these therapeutics, naringin, a flavanone glycoside, represents one of the most promising candidates owing to its multifaceted effect on bone tissues. This review provides an up-to-date overview on naringin applications in the treatment of bone disorders, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, and further highlights its potential for stem cell pro-osteogenic differentiation therapies. A critical perspective on naringin clinical translation is also provided. The topic is discussed in light of recently developed biomaterial-based approaches that potentiate its bioavailability and bioactivity. Overall, the reported pro-osteogenic, antiresorptive and antiadipogenic properties establish this flavanone as an exciting candidate for application in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Two important goals in orthopedic implant research are to promote osseointegration and prevent infection. However, much previous effort has been focused on the design of coatings to either enhance osseointegration while ignoring antibacterial activity or vice versa, to prevent infection while ignoring bone integration. Here, we designed a multifunctional mineralized collagen coating on titanium with the aid of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals to control the release of naringin, a Chinese herbal medicine that could promote osseointegration and prevent bacterial infection. The attachment, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of mesenchymal stem cells on the coating were significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, the antibacterial abilities against Staphylococcus aureus were also promoted. Furthermore, release kinetics analysis indicated that the synergistic effect of a primary burst release stage and secondary slow release stage played a critical role in the performance and could be controlled by the relative concentrations of MOF and naringin. This work thus provides a novel strategy to engineer multifunctional orthopedic coatings that can enhance osseointegration and simultaneously inhibit microbial cell growth.

Abstract
A previous study has demonstrated that Ganshuang granule (GSG) plays an anti-fibrotic role partially by deactivation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). In HSCs activation, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-autophagy plays an important role. We attempted to investigate the role of mTOR-autophagy in anti-fibrotic effect of GSG. The cirrhotic mouse model was prepared to demonstrate the anti-fibrosis effect of GSG. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were used to identify the active component of GSG. The primary mouse HSCs were isolated and naringin was added into activated HSCs to observe its anti-fibrotic effect. 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was added, respectively, into fully activated HSCs to explore the role of autophagy and mTOR. GSG played an anti-fibrotic role through deactivation of HSCs in cirrhotic mouse model. The concentration of naringin was highest in GSG by HPLC analyses and naringin markedly suppressed HSCs activation in vitro, which suggested that naringin was the main active component of GSG. The deactivation of HSCs caused by naringin was not because of the autophagic activation but mTOR inhibition, which was supported by the following evidence: first, naringin induced autophagic activation, but when autophagy was blocked by 3-MA, deactivation of HSCs was not attenuated or reversed. Second, naringin inhibited mTOR pathway, meanwhile when mTOR was activated by IGF-1, deactivation of HSCs was reversed. In conclusion, we have demonstrated naringin in GSG suppressed activation of HSCs for anti-fibrosis effect by inhibition of mTOR, indicating a potential therapeutic application for liver cirrhosis.
