Abstract
BACKGROUND Chondrocyte viability, apoptosis, and migration are closely related to cartilage injury in osteoarthritis (OA) joints. Exosomes are identified as potential therapeutic agents for OA. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the role of exosomes derived from osteocytes in OA, particularly focusing on their effects on cartilage repair and molecular mechanisms. METHODS An injury cell model was established by treating chondrocytes with IL-1β. Cartilage repair was evaluated using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, scratch test, and Western Blot. Molecular mechanisms were analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR, bioinformatic analysis, and Western Blot. An OA mouse model was established to explore the role of exosomal DLX2 in vivo. RESULTS Osteocyte-released exosomes promoted cell viability and migration, and inhibited apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Moreover, exosomes upregulated DLX2 expression, and knockdown of DLX2 activated the Wnt pathway. Additionally, exosomes attenuated OA in mice by transmitting DLX2. CONCLUSION Osteocyte-derived exosomal DLX2 alleviated IL-1β-induced cartilage repair and inactivated the Wnt pathway, thereby alleviating OA progression. The findings suggested that osteocyte-derived exosomes may hold promise as a treatment for OA.

IGF-1 and myostatin-mediated co-regulation in skeletal muscle and bone of Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus) during different hibernation stages. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2024; 297:111716. [PMID: 39097140 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2024.111716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
Muscle and bone are cooperatively preserved in Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus) during hibernation. As such, we hypothesized that IGF-1 and myostatin may contribute to musculoskeletal maintenance during this period. Thus, we systematically assessed changes in the protein expression levels of IGF-1 and myostatin, as well as their corresponding downstream targets, in the vastus medialis (VM) muscle and femur in Daurian ground squirrels during different stages. Group differences were determined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results indicated that the co-localization levels of IGF-1 and its receptor (IGF-1R) increased by 50% during the pre-hibernation period (PRE) and by 35% during re-entry into torpor (RET) compared to the summer active period (SA). The phosphorylation level of FOXO1 in the VM muscle increased by 50% in the torpor (TOR) group and by 82% in the inter-bout arousal (IBA) group compared to the PRE group. The phosphorylation level of SGK-1 increased by 54% in the IBA group and by 62% in the RET group compared to the SA group. In contrast, the protein expression of IGF-1 and phosphorylation levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, and GSK3β in the VM muscle showed no obvious differences among the different groups. β-catenin protein expression was up-regulated by 84% in the RET group compared to the SA group, while the content of IGF-1 protein, correlation coefficients of IGF-1 and IGF-1R, and phosphorylation levels of PI3K, Akt, and GSK3β in the femur showed no significant differences among groups. Regarding myostatin and its downstream targets, myostatin protein expression decreased by 70% in the RET group compared to the SA group, whereas ActRIIB protein expression and Smad2/3 phosphorylation in the VM muscle showed no obvious differences among groups. Furthermore, Smad2/3 phosphorylation decreased by 58% in the TOR group and 53% in the RET group compared to the SA group, whereas ActRIIB protein expression in the femur showed no obvious differences among groups. Overall, the observed changes in IGF-1 and myostatin expression and their downstream targets may be involved in musculoskeletal preservation during hibernation in Daurian ground squirrels.

Abstract
Background/purpose Cementum shares many properties with bone; however, in contrast to bone, it is not innervated or vascularized and has a limited capacity for remodeling. Osteocytes located in the lacunae-canalicular system of bone tissue play a central role in bone remodeling by communicating with osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Although cementocytes are present in cellular cementum and are morphologically similar to osteocytes, it remains unclear whether they are involved in the dynamic functional regulation of metabolism in cementum. The present study focused on the extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by cementocytes and examined their effects on osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Materials and methods EVs were extracted from the mouse cementocyte cell line, IDG-CM6. The effects of EVs on recombinant RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and recombinant Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2-mediated osteoblastogenesis were investigated using the mouse osteoclast progenitor cell line, RAW264.7 and mouse pre-osteoblast cell line, MC3T3-E1, respectively. Results EVs enhanced the formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity-positive cells. Real-time PCR revealed that EVs up-regulated the expression of osteoclast-related genes. On the other hand, the cell culture supernatant of cementocytes significantly inhibited the differentiation of osteoclasts. Regarding osteoblastogenesis, EVs suppressed the expression of alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin induced by recombinant BMP-2 at the gene and protein levels. Conclusion A network of cementocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts may exist in cellular cementum, which suggests the involvement of cementocytes in dynamic metabolism of cementum through EVs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteo-sarcopenia (OS) has become a global public health problem and a frontier research problem, as a combination of sarcopenia (SP) and osteoporosis (OP) diseases. The clinical performances include muscle weakness, systemic bone pain, standing difficulty, even falls and fractures, etc., which seriously affect the patient's life and work. The pathological mechanism of the OS may be the abnormal metabolism which disrupts the equilibrium stability of the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, this study combined vitamin D (Vit. D) and whole-body vibration training (WBVT) to intervene in subjects of OS, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the diagnosis and treatment protocol and to explore the efficacy mechanism. METHODS We propose a multicenter, parallel-group clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vit. D combined with WBVT intervention in OS. Subjects who met the inclusion or exclusion criteria and signed the informed consent form would be randomly assigned to the WBVT group, Vit. D group, or WBVT+ Vit. D group. All subjects will be treated for 1 month and followed up after 3 and 6 months. The primary outcomes are lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and handgrip strength measured by grip strength meter. Secondary outcomes include serum markers of myostatin (MSTN), irisin and bone turnover markers (BTM), SARC-CalF questionnaire, 1-min test question of osteoporosis risk, patient health status (evaluated by the SF-36 health survey), physical performance measurement that includes 5-time chair stand test, 6-m walk, and the short physical performance battery (SPPB). DISCUSSION If Vit. D combined with WBVT can well relieve OS symptoms without adverse effects, this protocol may be a new treatment strategy for OS. After therapeutic intervention, if the serum marker MSTN/irisin is significant, both have the potential to become sensitive indicators for screening OS effective drugs and treatments, which also indicates that WBVT combined with Vit. D plays a role in improving OS by regulating MSTN/irisin. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2400082269 . Registered on March 26, 2024.

Abstract
Depression and multiple musculoskeletal disorders are overrepresented in women compared with men. Given that depression is a modifiable risk factor and improvement of depressive symptoms increases positive outcomes following orthopedic intervention, efforts to improve clinical recognition of depressive symptoms and increased action toward ameliorating depressive symptoms among orthopedic patients are positioned to reduce complications and positively affect patient-reported outcomes. Although psychosocial factors play a role in the manifestation and remittance of depression, it is also well appreciated that primary biochemical changes are capable of causing and perpetuating depression. Unique insight for novel treatments of depression may be facilitated by query of the bidirectional relationship between musculoskeletal health and depression. This Review aims to synthesize the diverse literature on sex, depression, and orthopedics and emphasize the potential for common underlying biological substrates. Given the overrepresentation of depression and musculoskeletal disorders among women, increased emphasis on the biological drivers of the co-occurrence of these disorders is positioned to improve women's health.

Abstract
Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of basic transcription factors with three conserved Cys2/His2 zinc finger domains located in their C-terminal regions. It is acknowledged that KLFs exert complicated effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and responses to stimuli. Dysregulation of KLFs is associated with a range of diseases including cardiovascular disorders, metabolic diseases, autoimmune conditions, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Their multidimensional roles in modulating critical pathways underscore the significance in both physiological and pathological contexts. Recent research also emphasizes their crucial involvement and complex interplay in the skeletal system. Despite the substantial progress in understanding KLFs and their roles in various cellular processes, several research gaps remain. Here, we elucidated the multifaceted capabilities of KLFs on body health and diseases via various compliable signaling pathways. The associations between KLFs and cellular energy metabolism and epigenetic modification during bone reconstruction have also been summarized. This review helps us better understand the coupling effects and their pivotal functions in multiple systems and detailed mechanisms of bone remodeling and develop potential therapeutic strategies for the clinical treatment of pathological diseases by targeting the KLF family.

Abstract
Anatomically connected bones and muscles determine movement of the body. Forces exerted on muscles are then turned to bones to promote osteogenesis. The crosstalk between muscle and bone has been identified as mechanotransduction previously. In addition to the mechanical features, bones and muscles are also secretory organs which interact closely with one another through producing myokines and osteokines. Moreover, besides the mechanical features, other factors, such as nutrition metabolism, physiological rhythm, age, etc., also affect bone-muscle crosstalk. What's more, osteogenesis and myogenesis within motor system occur almost in parallel. Pathologically, defective muscles are always detected in bone associated diseases and induce the osteopenia, inflammation and abnormal bone metabolism, etc., through biomechanical or biochemical coupling. Hence, we summarize the study findings of bone-muscle crosstalk and propose potential strategies to improve the skeletal or muscular symptoms of certain diseases. Altogether, functional improvement of bones or muscles is beneficial to each other within motor system.

Abstract
Bone remodeling, crucial for maintaining the balance between bone resorption and formation, relies on the coordinated activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. During osteoclastogenesis, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differentiate into the osteoclast lineage through the signaling pathways OPG/RANK/RANKL. On the other hand, during osteoblastogenesis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into the osteoblast lineage through activation of the signaling pathways TGF-β/BMP/Wnt. Recent studies have shown that bone remodeling is regulated by post-transcriptional mechanisms including microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are small, single-stranded, noncoding RNAs approximately 22 nucleotides in length. miRNAs can regulate virtually all cellular processes through binding to miRNA-response elements (MRE) at the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the target mRNA. miRNAs are involved in controlling gene expression during osteogenic differentiation through the regulation of key signaling cascades during bone formation and resorption. Alterations of miRNA expression could favor the development of bone disorders, including osteoporosis. This review provides a general description of the miRNAs involved in bone remodeling and their significance in osteoporosis development.

J Orthop Translat 2024; 47:63-73. [PMID: 39007034 PMCID: PMC11245956 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2024.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The interaction between muscle and bone is shown to be clinically important but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is reported to be involved in muscle-bone crosstalk, but its detailed function remains unclear. This systematic review aims to investigate and elucidate the role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in muscle-bone crosstalk. Methods We conducted a literature search on the Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO and Embase with keywords "Wnt*", "bone*" and "muscle*". A systematic review was completed according to the guideline of preferred reporting items of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Data synthesis included species (human, animal or cell type used), treatments involved, outcome measures and key findings with respect to Wnts. Results Seventeen papers were published from 2007 to 2021 and were extracted from a total of 1529 search results in the databases of Web of Science (468 papers), PubMed (457 papers), EBSCO (371) and Embase (233). 12 Wnt family members were investigated in the papers, including Wnt1, Wnt2, Wnt2b, Wnt3a, Wnt4, Wnt5a, Wnt8a, Wnt8b, Wnt9a, Wnt10a, Wnt10b and Wnt16. Many studies showed that muscles were able to increase or decrease osteogenesis of bone, while bone increased myogenesis of muscle through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Wnt3a, Wnt4 and Wnt10b were shown to play important roles in the crosstalk between muscle and bone. Conclusions Wnt3a, Wnt4 and Wnt10b are found to play important mediatory roles in muscle-bone crosstalk. The role of Wnt4 was mostly found to regulate muscle from the bone side. Whilst the role of Wnt10b during muscle ageing was proposed, current evidence is insufficient to clarify the specific role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the interplay between sarcopenia and osteoporosis. More future studies are required to investigate the exact regulatory roles of Wnts in muscle-bone crosstalk in musculoskeletal disease models such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Translational potential of this article The systematic review provides an extensive overview to reveal the roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in muscle-bone crosstalk. These results provide novel research directions to further understand the underlying mechanism of sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and their crosstalk, finally helping the future development of new therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
In addition to its recognized role in providing structural support, bone plays a crucial role in maintaining the functionality and balance of various organs by secreting specific cytokines (also known as osteokines). This reciprocal influence extends to these organs modulating bone homeostasis and development, although this aspect has yet to be systematically reviewed. This review aims to elucidate this bidirectional crosstalk, with a particular focus on the role of osteokines. Additionally, it presents a unique compilation of evidence highlighting the critical function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) within bone-organ axes for the first time. Moreover, it explores the implications of this crosstalk for designing and implementing bone-on-chips and assembloids, underscoring the importance of comprehending these interactions for advancing physiologically relevant in vitro models. Consequently, this review establishes a robust theoretical foundation for preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases related to the bone-organ axis from the perspective of cytokines, EVs, hormones, and metabolites.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects synovial joints and that frequently involves extra-articular organs. A multiplicity of interleukins (IL) participates in the pathogenesis of RA, including IL-6, IL-1β, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α; immune cells such as monocytes, T and B lymphocytes, and macrophages; and auto-antibodies, mainly rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). Skeletal muscle is also involved in RA, with many patients developing muscle wasting and sarcopenia. Several mechanisms are involved in the myopenia observed in RA, and one of them includes the effects of some interleukins and myokines on myocytes. Myostatin is a myokine member of the TGF-β superfamily; the overproduction of myostatin acts as a negative regulator of growth and differentiates the muscle fibers, limiting their number and size. Recent studies have identified abnormalities in the serum myostatin levels of RA patients, and these have been found to be associated with muscle wasting and other manifestations of severe RA. This review analyzes recent information regarding the relationship between myostatin levels and clinical manifestations of RA and the relevance of myostatin as a therapeutic target for future research.

Biomed Eng Online 2024; 23:44. [PMID: 38705993 PMCID: PMC11070085 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-024-01237-9] [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: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteocytes are critical mechanosensory cells in bone, and mechanically stimulated osteocytes produce exosomes that can induce osteogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important constituents of exosomes, and some miRNAs in osteocytes regulate osteogenic differentiation; previous studies have indicated that some differentially expressed miRNAs in mechanically strained osteocytes likely influence osteoblastic differentiation. Therefore, screening and selection of miRNAs that regulate osteogenic differentiation in exosomes of mechanically stimulated osteocytes are important. RESULTS A mechanical tensile strain of 2500 με at 0.5 Hz 1 h per day for 3 days, elevated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity of MLO-Y4 osteocytes, and promoted osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. Fourteen miRNAs differentially expressed only in MLO-Y4 osteocytes which were stimulated with mechanical tensile strain, were screened, and the miRNAs related to osteogenesis were identified. Four differentially expressed miRNAs (miR-1930-3p, miR-3110-5p, miR-3090-3p, and miR-3058-3p) were found only in mechanically strained osteocytes, and the four miRNAs, eight targeted mRNAs which were differentially expressed only in mechanically strained osteoblasts, were also identified. In addition, the mechanically strained osteocyte-derived exosomes promoted the osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro, the exosomes were internalized by osteoblasts, and the up-regulated miR-3110-5p and miR-3058-3p in mechanically strained osteocytes, were both increased in the exosomes, which was verified via reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). CONCLUSIONS In osteocytes, a mechanical tensile strain of 2500 με at 0.5 Hz induced the fourteen differentially expressed miRNAs which probably were in exosomes of osteocytes and involved in osteogenesis. The mechanically strained osteocyte-derived exosomes which contained increased miR-3110-5p and miR-3058-3p (two of the 14 miRNAs), promoted osteoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review will highlight recent reports supporting the relevance of extracellular vesicles to the musculoskeletal system in health and disease. RECENT FINDINGS Preserving the health of the musculoskeletal system is important to maintain a good quality of life, and the bone-muscle crosstalk is crucial in this regard. This latter is largely mediated by extracellular vesicles released by the different cell populations residing in muscle and bone, which deliver cargoes, microRNAs, and proteins being the most relevant ones, to target cells. Extracellular vesicles could be exploited as therapeutic tools, in view of their resistance to destruction in the biological fluid and of the possibility to be functionalized according to the need. Extracellular vesicles are recognized as crucial players in the bone-muscle cross-talk. Additional studies however are required to refine their use as biomarkers of early alterations of the musculoskeletal system, and as potential therapeutic tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle and bone are physiologically interconnected, but joint changes of muscle and bone with aging, and whether the muscle-bone changes are different by sex and by country has been little studied. We examined longitudinal associations of bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle mass or muscle strength in community-dwelling 65 years or older in the United States and Japan. METHODS The present analytic sample included 1129 women and men from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) (mean age, 74.5 ± 7.5 years; women, 49.8%) and 1998 women and men from the National Institute for Longevity Sciences-Longitudinal Study of Aging (NILS-LSA) (mean age, 70.0 ± 4.5 years; women, 51.4%). Median follow-up was 4.6 (min-max, 0-15.4) years in the BLSA and 4.0 (min-max, 0-13.4) years in the NILS-LSA. We selected visits at which participants had BMD (whole body, pelvic, femoral neck, trochanter, and Ward's triangle BMDs) and muscle mass [appendicular lean mass, (ALM)] measured by DXA scan. In each bone site, we ran cohort-specific bivariate linear mixed-effects models adjusted for baseline age, sex, body height, body weight, fat mass, education year, and smoking status. Race was an additional adjustment in the BLSA. Additionally, we performed sex-specific analyses. RESULTS In the BLSA, the rate of change in ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in the whole body (rho = 0.30, P < 0.0001) and pelvic BMD (rho = 0.24, P < 0.0001), but not in trochanter, femoral neck, or Ward's triangle BMD (P > 0.05). In the NILS-LSA, ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in all bone sites (rho ranged from 0.20 to 0.71, P < 0.01). In women, ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in all bone sites in both cohorts (in the NILS-LSA, rho ranged from 0.35 to 0.91, P < 0.01; in the BLSA, rho ranged from 0.26 to 0.56, P < 0.05) except for femoral neck BMD in the BLSA. In men, ALM positively correlated with pelvic, trochanter, and Ward's triangle BMD in the NILS-LSA (rho ranged from 0.45 to 0.68, P < 0.0001), and whole body and trochanter BMD in the BLSA (both, rho = 0.20, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Muscle loss co-occurred with bone loss in both cohorts, but the association in the NILS-LSA tended to be stronger than in the BLSA, and the association was higher in women than in men, implying that the association may differ by sex and country.

Abstract
Apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) are nanoscale vesicles derived from billions of apoptotic cells involved in the maintenance of the human body's homeostasis. Previous researches have shown that some apoVs, such as those derived from mesenchymal stem cells, contribute to bone formation. However, those apoVs cannot be extracted from patients in large quantities, and cell expansion is needed before apoV isolation, which limits their clinical translation. Mature RBCs, which have no nuclei or genetic material, are easy to obtain, showing high biological safety as a source of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Previous studies have demonstrated that RBC-derived EVs have multiple biological functions, but it is unknown whether RBCs produce apoVs and what effect these apoVs have on bone regeneration. In this study, we isolated and characterized RBC-derived apoVs (RBC-apoVs) from human venous blood and investigated their role in the osteogenesis of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). We showed that RBCs could produce RBC-apoVs that expressed both general apoVs markers and RBC markers. RBC-apoVs significantly promoted osteogenesis of hBMSCs and enhanced bone regeneration in rat calvarial defects. Mechanistically, RBC-apoVs regulated osteogenesis by transferring carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1) into hBMSCs and activating the P38 MAPK pathway. Our results indicated that RBC-apoVs could deliver functional molecules from RBCs to hBMSCs and promote bone regeneration, pointing to possible therapeutic use in bone tissue engineering.

Down-expression of miR-494-3p in senescent osteocyte-derived exosomes inhibits osteogenesis and accelerates age-related bone loss via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. Bone Joint Res 2024; 13:52-65.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the effects of senescent osteocytes on bone homeostasis in the progress of age-related osteoporosis and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods In a series of in vitro experiments, we used tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to induce senescence of MLO-Y4 cells successfully, and collected conditioned medium (CM) and senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes, which were then applied to MC3T3-E1 cells, separately, to evaluate their effects on osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we identified differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) between exosomes from senescent and normal MLO-Y4 cells by high-throughput RNA sequencing. Based on the key miRNAs that were discovered, the underlying mechanism by which senescent osteocytes regulate osteogenic differentiation was explored. Lastly, in the in vivo experiments, the effects of senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes on age-related bone loss were evaluated in male SAMP6 mice, which excluded the effects of oestrogen, and the underlying mechanism was confirmed. Results The CM and exosomes collected from senescent MLO-Y4 cells inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. RNA sequencing detected significantly lower expression of miR-494-3p in senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes compared with normal exosomes. The upregulation of exosomal miR-494-3p by miRNA mimics attenuated the effects of senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes on osteogenic differentiation. Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-494-3p targeted phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), which is a negative regulator of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. Overexpression of PTEN or inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway blocked the functions of exosomal miR-494-3p. In SAMP6 mice, senescent MLO-Y4 cell-derived exosomes accelerated bone loss, which was rescued by upregulation of exosomal miR-494-3p. Conclusion Reduced expression of miR-494-3p in senescent osteocyte-derived exosomes inhibits osteogenic differentiation and accelerates age-related bone loss via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
Prolonged inactivity and disuse conditions, such as those experienced during spaceflight and prolonged bedrest, are frequently accompanied by detrimental effects on the motor system, including skeletal muscle atrophy and bone loss, which greatly increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Moreover, the decrease in glucose and lipid utilization in skeletal muscles, a consequence of muscle atrophy, also contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome. Clarifying the mechanisms involved in disuse-induced musculoskeletal deterioration is important, providing therapeutic targets and a scientific foundation for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders under disuse conditions. Skeletal muscle, as a powerful endocrine organ, participates in the regulation of physiological and biochemical functions of local or distal tissues and organs, including itself, in endocrine, autocrine, or paracrine manners. As a motor organ adjacent to muscle, bone tissue exhibits a relative lag in degenerative changes compared to skeletal muscle under disuse conditions. Based on this phenomenon, roles and mechanisms involved in the communication between skeletal muscle and bone, especially from muscle to bone, under disuse conditions have attracted widespread attention. In this review, we summarize the roles and regulatory mechanisms of muscle-derived myokines and extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the occurrence of muscle atrophy and bone loss under disuse conditions, as well as discuss future perspectives based on existing research.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that exosomes help to regulate bone homeostasis. The roles of bone-derived exosomes have been well-described; however, recent studies have shown that some non-bone-derived exosomes have better bone targeting ability than bone-derived exosomes and that their performance as a drug delivery vehicle for regulating bone homeostasis may be better than that of bone-derived exosomes, and the sources of non-bone-derived exosomes are more extensive and can thus be better for clinical needs. Here, we sort non-bone-derived exosomes and describe their composition and biogenesis. Their roles and specific mechanisms in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases are also discussed. Furthermore, we reveal obstacles to current research and future challenges in the practical application of exosomes, and we provide potential strategies for more effective application of exosomes for the regulation of bone homeostasis and the treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteocyte, a cell type living within the mineralized bone matrix and connected to each other by means of numerous dendrites, appears to play a major role in body homeostasis. Benefiting from the maturation of osteocyte extraction and culture technique, many cross-sectional studies have been conducted as a subject of intense research in recent years, illustrating the osteocyte-organ/tissue communication not only mechanically but also biochemically. The present review comprehensively evaluates the new research work on the possible crosstalk between osteocyte and closely situated or remote vital organs/tissues. We aim to bring together recent key advances and discuss the mutual effect of osteocyte and brain, kidney, vascular calcification, muscle, liver, adipose tissue, and tumor metastasis and elucidate the therapeutic potential of osteocyte.

Abstract
The traditional view posits that bones and muscles interact primarily through mechanical coupling. However, recent studies have revealed that myokines, proteins secreted by skeletal muscle cells, play a crucial role in the regulation of bone metabolism. Myokines are widely involved in bone metabolism, influencing bone resorption and formation by interacting with factors related to bone cell secretion or influencing bone metabolic pathways. Here, we review the research progress on the myokine regulation of bone metabolism, discuss the mechanism of myokine regulation of bone metabolism, explore the pathophysiological relationship between sarcopenia and osteoporosis, and provide future perspectives on myokine research, with the aim of identify potential specific diagnostic markers and therapeutic entry points.

Abstract
Bone and skeletal muscle work in coordination to maintain the function of the musculoskeletal system, in which skeletal muscle contraction drives the movement of the bone lever system while bone provides insert sites for skeletal muscle through the bone-muscle junction. Existing evidence suggests that factors secreted by skeletal muscle and bone mediate the interaction between the two tissues. Herein, we focused on the relationship between skeletal muscle and bone and the underlying mechanism of the interaction. Exercise can promote bone strength and secrete osteocalcin and insulin-like growth factor I into the blood, thus improving muscle quality. In addition, exercise can also promote myostatin, interleukin-6, Irisin, and apelin in muscles to enter the blood so that they can act on bones to maintain the balance between bone absorption and bone formation. There is a special regulatory axis interleukin-6/osteocalcin between myokines and osteokines, which is mainly influenced by exercise. Therefore, we pay attention to the important factors in the bone-muscle intersection that are affected by exercise, which were found or their functions were expanded, which strengthened the connection between organs of the whole body, highlighting the importance of exercise and contributing to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of osteoporosis and sarcopenia in the clinic.

Abstract
Fragility fractures are frequently reported in neuromuscular diseases and negatively influence functional prognosis, quality of life and survival. In LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-MD) and SELENON(SEPN1)-related congenital myopathy (SELENON-RM) cross-sectional and prospective natural history studies on bone quality and fragility long bone fractures (LBFs) are lacking. We therefore aim to systematically assess bone quality and provide recommendations for clinical care. We performed a one-year prospective natural history study in 21 LAMA2-MD and 10 SELENON-RM patients including a standardized fracture history and bone quality assessment through dual energy Xray absorptiometry scan (DEXA-scan) and/or bone health index (BHI). Ninety percent of the LAMA2-MD and SELENON-RM patients showed low bone quality. Eight (38%) LAMA2-MD and five (50%) SELENON-RM patients had a history of fragility LBFs. During the one-year follow-up period, one LAMA2-MD patient (female, 3 years) experienced a fragility LBF of the right humerus. We found no difference in bone mineral density between baseline and one-year follow-up. Based on general international guidelines for osteoporosis, we advise adequate vitamin D and calcium intake, and standardized clinical follow-up through a DEXA-scan or BHI in all LAMA2-MD and SELENON-RM patients. On indication, patients should be referred to the pediatrics or internal medicine for consideration of additional treatments.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a multifaceted process that requires various phases and intercellular interactions. In recent years, investigations have been conducted to assess the feasibility of utilizing exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (EVs), to enhance and accelerate the healing process. Exosomes serve as a cargo transport platform, facilitating intercellular communication, promoting the presentation of antigens to dendritic cells, and stimulating angiogenesis. Exosomes have a special structure that gives them a special function, especially in the healing process of bone injuries. This article provides an overview of cellular and molecular processes associated with bone fracture healing, as well as a survey of existing exosome research in this context. We also discuss the potential use of exosomes in fracture healing, as well as the obstacles that must be overcome to make this a viable clinical practice.

Abstract
Peak bone mass is the amount of bone tissue that is formed when a stable skeletal state is achieved at a young age. To date, there are no established peak bone mass standards nor clear data on the age at which peak bone mass occurs. At the same time, the level of peak bone mass at a young age is an important predictor of the onset of primary osteoporosis. The purpose of this review is to analyze the results of studies of levels of peak bone mass in general, the age of its onset, as well as factors influencing its formation. Factors such as hormonal levels, body composition, physical activity, nutrition, heredity, smoking, lifestyle, prenatal predictors, intestinal microbiota, and vitamin and micronutrient status were considered, and a comprehensive scheme of the influence of these factors on the level of peak bone mass was created. Determining the standards and timing of the formation of peak bone mass, and the factors affecting it, will help in the development of measures to prevent its shortage and the consequent prevention of osteoporosis and concomitant diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that can lead to diabetic myopathy and bone diseases. The etiology of musculoskeletal complications in such metabolic disorders and the interplay between the muscular and osseous systems are not well understood. Exercise training promises to prevent diabetic myopathy and bone disease and offer protection. Although the muscle-bone interaction is largely biomechanical, the muscle secretome has significant implications for bone biology. Uncoupling effects of biophysical and biochemical stimuli on the adaptive response of bone during exercise training may offer therapeutic targets for diabetic bone disease. Here, we have developed an in vitro model to elucidate the effects of mechanical strain on myokine secretion and its impact on bone metabolism decoupled from physical stimuli. We developed bone constructs using cross-linked gelatin, which facilitated osteogenic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells. Then muscle constructs were made from fibrin, which enabled myoblast differentiation and myotube formation. We investigated the myokine expression by muscle constructs under strain regimens replicating endurance (END) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in hyperglycemic conditions. In monocultures, both regimens induced higher expression of Il15 and Igf1, whereas END supported more myoblast differentiation and myotube maturation than HIIT. When co-cultured with bone constructs, HIIT regimen increased Glut4 expression in muscle constructs more than END, supporting higher glucose uptake. Likewise, the muscle constructs under the HIIT regimen promoted a healthier and more matured bone phenotype than END. Under static conditions, myostatin (Mstn) expression was significantly downregulated in muscle constructs co-cultured with bone constructs compared with monocultures. Together, our in vitro co-culture system allowed orthogonal manipulation of mechanical strain on muscle constructs while facilitating bone-muscle biochemical cross-talk. Such systems can provide an individualized microenvironment that allows decoupled biomechanical manipulation, help identify molecular targets, and develop engineered therapies for metabolic bone disease. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcopenia is a syndrome coexisting sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis, with a high fracture risk. Recently, skeletal muscle and bone have been recognized as endocrine organs capable of communication through secreting myokines and osteokines, respectively. With a deeper understanding of the muscle-bone crosstalk, these endocrine signals exhibit an important role in osteosarcopenia development and fracture healing. Methods This review summarizes the role of myokines and osteokines in the development and treatment of osteosarcopenia and fracture, and discusses their potential for osteosarcopenia-related fracture treatment. Results Several well-defined myokines (myostatin and irisin) and osteokines (RANKL and SOST) are found to not only regulate skeletal muscle and bone metabolism but also influence fracture healing processes. Systemic interventions targeting these biochemical signals has shown promising results in improving the mass and functions of skeletal muscle and bone, as well as accelerating fracture healing processes. Conclusion The regulation of muscle-bone crosstalk via biochemical signals presents a novel and promising strategy for treating osteosarcopenia and fracture by simultaneously enhancing bone and muscle anabolism. We propose that myostatin, irisin, RANKL, and SOST may serve as potential targets to treat fracture patients with osteosarcopenia. The translational potential of this article Osteosarcopenia is an emerging geriatric syndrome where sarcopenia and osteoporosis coexist, with high fracture risk, delayed fracture healing, and increased mortality. However, no pharmacological agent is available to treat fracture patients with osteosarcopenia. This review summarizes the role of several myokines and osteokines in the development and treatment of osteosacropenia and fracture, as well as discusses their potential as intervention targets for osteosarcopenia-related fracture, which provides a novel and promising strategy for future osteosarcopenia-related fracture treatment.

Abstract
Good musculoskeletal quality dramatically influences the outcome of an arthroplasty operation in geriatric patients, as well as is a key element for optimal osseointegration. In this context, metallosis is a complication associated with the type of prosthesis used, as implants with a chromium-cobalt interface are known to alter the bone microarchitecture and reduce the ratio of muscle to fat, resulting in lipid accumulation. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate possible muscle changes by histological, morphometric, and immunohistochemical analyses in a patient undergoing hip replacement revision with elevated blood and urinary concentrations of chromium and cobalt. Interestingly, the muscle tissue showed significant structural changes and a massive infiltration of adipose tissue between muscle fibers in association with an altered expression pattern of important biomarkers of musculoskeletal health and oxidative stress, such as myostatin and NADPH Oxidase 4. Overall, our results confirm the very serious impact of metallosis on musculoskeletal health, suggesting the need for further studies to adopt a diagnostic approach to identify the cause of metallosis early and eliminate it as part of the prosthesis revision surgery.

Abstract
In addition to their well-described functions in cell excitability, voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs) serve a critical role in calcium (Ca2+)-mediated secretion of pleiotropic paracrine and endocrine factors, including those produced in bone. Influx of Ca2+ through VSCCs activates intracellular signaling pathways to modulate a variety of cellular processes that include cell proliferation, differentiation, and bone adaptation in response to mechanical stimuli. Less well understood is the role of VSCCs in the control of bone and calcium homeostasis mediated through secreted factors. In this review, we discuss the various functions of VSCCs in skeletal cells as regulators of Ca2+ dynamics and detail how these channels might control the release of bioactive factors from bone cells. Because VSCCs are druggable, a better understanding of the multiple functions of these channels in the skeleton offers the opportunity for developing new therapies to enhance and maintain bone and to improve systemic health.

[PMID: 37448662 PMCID: PMC10338097 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1204497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Falls in older people have become a major public health, economic and societal problem. Osteoporosis predisposes older adults to high risk of falls, which were the most common outcome attributable to low bone mineral density (LBMD). In this study, we analyze the long-term trends in falls burden attributable to LBMD among people aged 60 years and over from 1990 to 2019, using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD 2019). Methods Data from GBD 2019 were used to assess the long-term trends in mortality and disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) rates by Joinpoint regression. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was used to evaluate the effects of age, period and cohort on mortality rate of falls attributable to LBMD. Results The mortality and DALYs rates of falls attributable to LBMD among people aged 60 years and over increased from 1990 to 2019, with average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) of 1.74% (95% CI: -1.47 to 2.01%) and 0.99% (95% CI: 0.80-1.19%), respectively. APC analysis revealed that the mortality rate due to LBMD significantly increased among the older people over the age of 75 years. The risk of falls mortality due to LBMD during the period of 1990-2019 initially declined but later elevated. An overall increasing risk for falls death attributable to LBMD was presented across birth cohorts, but in cohorts born after 1930, the upward trend has slowed down. The overall net drift per year attributable to LBMD was above 0. The corresponding results showed that the negative impact of period and cohort effects among males was more pronounced than those among females. Conclusions Falls attributable to LBMD remain an ongoing health burden in the older people in China, and the mortality has been on the rise from 1990 to 2019, especially among the older people aged 80+ years group. The prevention and treatment of LBMD should be emphasized, especially among males and oldest-old people. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to strengthen the implementation of system-wide, integrated and effective public health policies and other health interventions in China.

Abstract
Space colonization represents the most insidious challenge for mankind, as numerous obstacles affect the success of space missions. Specifically, the absence of gravitational forces leads to systemic physiological alterations, with particular emphasis on the musculoskeletal system. Indeed, astronauts exposed to spaceflight are known to report a significant impairment of bone microarchitecture and muscle mass, conditions clinically defined as osteoporosis and sarcopenia. In this context, space medicine assumes a crucial position, as the development of strategies to prevent and/or counteract weightlessness-induced alterations appears to be necessary. Furthermore, the opportunity to study the biological effects induced by weightlessness could provide valuable information regarding adaptations to spaceflight and suggest potential treatments that can preserve musculoskeletal health under microgravity conditions. Noteworthy, improving knowledge about the latest scientific findings in this field of research is crucial, as is thoroughly investigating the mechanisms underlying biological adaptations to microgravity and searching for innovative solutions to counter spaceflight-induced damage. Therefore, this narrative study review, performed using the MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases, aims to summarize the most recent evidence regarding the effects of real and simulated microgravity on the musculoskeletal system and to discuss the effectiveness of the main defence strategies used in both real and experimental settings.

Abstract
The L-enantiomer of β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is secreted by contracted muscle in mice, and exercise increases serum levels in humans. In mice, L-BAIBA reduces bone loss with unloading, but whether it can have a positive effect with loading is unknown. Since synergism can be more easily observed with sub-optimal amounts of factors/stimulation, we sought to determine whether L-BAIBA could potentiate the effects of sub-optimal loading to enhance bone formation. L-BAIBA was provided in drinking water to C57Bl/6 male mice subjected to either 7 N or 8.25 N of sub-optimal unilateral tibial loading for 2 weeks. The combination of 8.25 N and L-BAIBA significantly increased the periosteal mineral apposition rate and bone formation rate compared to loading alone or BAIBA alone. Though L-BAIBA alone had no effect on bone formation, grip strength was increased, suggesting a positive effect on muscle function. Gene expression analysis of the osteocyte-enriched bone showed that the combination of L-BAIBA and 8.25 N induced the expression of loading-responsive genes such as Wnt1, Wnt10b, and the TGFb and BMP signaling pathways. One dramatic change was the downregulation of histone genes in response to sub-optimal loading and/or L-BAIBA. To determine early gene expression, the osteocyte fraction was harvested within 24 hours of loading. A dramatic effect was observed with L-BAIBA and 8.25 N loading as genes were enriched for pathways regulating the extracellular matrix (Chad, Acan, Col9a2), ion channel activity (Scn4b, Scn7a, Cacna1i), and lipid metabolism (Plin1, Plin4, Cidec). Few changes in gene expression were observed with sub-optimal loading or L-BAIBA alone after 24 hours. These results suggest that these signaling pathways are responsible for the synergistic effects between L-BAIBA and sub-optimal loading. Showing that a small muscle factor can enhance the effects of sub-optimal loading of bone may be of relevance for individuals unable to benefit from optimal exercise. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key regulators of bone development, homeostasis and repair. EV-based therapies have the potential to circumnavigate key issues hindering the translation of cell-based therapies including functional tissue engraftment, uncontrolled differentiation and immunogenicity issues. Due to EVs' innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high physiochemical stability, these naturally-derived nanoparticles have garnered growing interest as potential acellular nanoscale therapeutics for a variety of diseases. Our increasing knowledge of the roles these cell-derived nanoparticles play, has made them an exciting focus in the development of novel pro-regenerative therapies for bone repair. Although these nano-sized vesicles have shown promise, their clinical translation is hindered due to several challenges in the EV supply chain, ultimately impacting therapeutic efficacy and yield. From the biochemical and biophysical stimulation of parental cells to the transition to scalable manufacture or maximising vesicles therapeutic response in vivo, a multitude of techniques have been employed to improve the clinical efficacy of EVs. This review explores state of the art bioengineering strategies to promote the therapeutic utility of vesicles beyond their native capacity, thus maximising the clinical potential of these pro-regenerative nanoscale therapeutics for bone repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone stress injuries (BSIs) have plagued the military for over 150 years; they afflict around 5 to 10% of military recruits, more so in women, and continue to place a medical and financial burden on defence. While the tibia generally adapts to the rigours of basic military training, the putative mechanisms for bone maladaptation are still unclear. METHODS This paper provides a review of the published literature on current risk factors and emerging biomarkers for BSIs in military personnel; the potential for biochemical markers of bone metabolism to monitor the response to military training; and, the association of novel biochemical 'exerkines' with bone health. RESULTS The primary risk factor for BSI in military (and athletic) populations is too much training, too soon. Appropriate physical preparation before training will likely be most protective, but routine biomarkers will not yet identify those at risk. Nutritional interventions will support a bone anabolic response to training, but exposure to stress, sleep loss, and medication is likely harmful to bone. Monitoring physiology using wearables-ovulation, sleep and stress-offer potential to inform prevention strategies. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for BSIs are well described, but their aetiology is very complex particularly in the multi-stressor military environment. Our understanding of the skeletal responses to military training is improving as technology advances, and potential biomarkers are constantly emerging, but sophisticated and integrated approaches to prevention of BSI are warranted.

Abstract
In the modern layer industry, improvement of bone quality is one of the prior tasks to solve from economic and welfare standpoints. In addition to nutritional and environmental factors, genetic factors have been considered major factors regulating bone quality in layers but are yet to be fully investigated due to limitations on available animal models. Initially, the myostatin (MSTN) gene was genetically edited in quail to investigate the effect of MSTN mutation on economic traits in meat producing poultry species. In the current study, the function of the MSTN gene on regulation of bone quality in layers was investigated using MSTN mutant female quail as an animal model. Tibia bones were collected from wild-type (WT) and MSTN mutant female quail at 5 wk old and 4 mo old, representing prelaying and actively laying stages, respectively. Left tibia bones were analyzed by microcomputed tomography scanning to evaluate the architectural characteristics, while bone breaking strength (BBS) was measured using right tibia bones. At 5 wk of age, MSTN mutant female quail showed higher BBS and values on parameters related to bone quality such as bone mineral contents (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (BV), and/or trabecular bone thickness in whole diaphysis, whole metaphysis, and metaphyseal trabecular bone, compared to WT female quail. Although BBS and BMD became similar between the 2 groups at 4 mo of age, higher TV and TS in whole metaphysis and higher BMC and TV in whole diaphysis of MSTN mutant group compared to those of WT group suggested that the improved tibia bone quality by MSTN mutation before sexual maturation lasted to a certain degree even after sexual maturation. The use of the MSTN mutant female model provided new insights into genetic regulation on female quail bone quality depending on physiological changes.

Abstract
Stem cells' self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation are regulated by a complex network consisting of signaling factors, chromatin regulators, transcription factors, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Diverse role of ncRNAs in stem cell development and maintenance of bone homeostasis have been discovered recently. The ncRNAs, such as long non-coding RNAs, micro RNAs, circular RNAs, small interfering RNA, Piwi-interacting RNAs, etc., are not translated into proteins but act as essential epigenetic regulators in stem cells' self-renewal and differentiation. Different signaling pathways are monitored efficiently by the differential expression of ncRNAs, which function as regulatory elements in determining the fate of stem cells. In addition, several species of ncRNAs could serve as potential molecular biomarkers in early diagnosis of bone diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone cancers, ultimately leading to the development of new therapeutic strategies. This review aims to explore the specific roles of ncRNAs and their effective molecular mechanisms in the growth and development of stem cells, and in the regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast activities. Furthermore, we focus on and explore the association of altered ncRNA expression with stem cells and bone turnover.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for the bone resorption process during bone remodeling. In a healthy situation, this process results from an equilibrium between new matrix formation by osteoblast and matrix resorption by osteoclast. Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone disease characterized by a decreased bone mass density and alterations in bone microarchitecture, increasing fracture predisposition. Despite the variety of available therapies for OP management there is a growing gap in its treatment associated to the low patients´ adherence owing to concerns related with long-term efficacy or safety. This makes the development of new and safe treatments necessary. Among the newly developed strategies, the use of synthetic and natural nanoparticles to modulate osteoclasts differentiation, activity, apoptosis or crosstalk with osteoblasts have arisen. Synthetic nanoparticles exert their therapeutic effect either by loading antiresorptive drugs or including molecules for osteoclasts gene regulation. Moreover, this control over osteoclasts can be improved by their targeting to bone extracellular matrix or osteoclast membranes. Furthermore, natural nanoparticles, also known as extracellular vesicles, have been identified to play a key role in bone homeostasis. Consequently, these systems have been widely studied to control osteoblasts and osteoclasts under variable environments. Additionally, the ability to bioengineer extracellular vesicles has allowed to obtain biomimetic systems with desirable characteristics as drug carriers for osteoclasts. The analyzed information reveals the possibility of modulating osteoclasts by different mechanisms through nanoparticles decreasing bone resorption. These findings suggest that controlling osteoclast activity using nanoparticles has the potential to improve osteoporosis management.

Determinants of bone mass in older adults with normal- and overweight derived from the crosstalk with muscle and adipose tissue. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5030. [PMID: 36977715 PMCID: PMC10050471 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-31642-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Lower bone mass in older adults may be mediated by the endocrine crosstalk between muscle, adipose tissue and bone. In 150 community-dwelling adults (59-86 years, BMI 17-37 kg/m2; 58.7% female), skeletal muscle mass index, adipose tissue and fat mass index (FMI) were determined. Levels of myokines, adipokines, osteokines, inflammation markers and insulin were measured as potential determinants of bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD). FMI was negatively associated with BMC and BMD after adjustment for mechanical loading effects of body weight (r-values between -0.37 and -0.71, all p < 0.05). Higher FMI was associated with higher leptin levels in both sexes, with higher hsCRP in women and with lower adiponectin levels in men. In addition to weight and FMI, sclerostin, osteocalcin, leptin × sex and adiponectin were independent predictors of BMC in a stepwise multiple regression analysis. Muscle mass, but not myokines, showed positive correlations with bone parameters that were weakened after adjusting for body weight (r-values between 0.27 and 0.58, all p < 0.01). Whereas the anabolic effect of muscle mass on bone in older adults may be partly explained by mechanical loading, the adverse effect of obesity on bone is possibly mediated by low-grade inflammation, higher leptin and lower adiponectin levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE As the population ages, there is an increased risk of fracture and morbidity diseases associated with aging, such as age-related osteoporosis and other bone diseases linked to aging skeletons. RESULTS Several bone-related cells, including multipotent bone mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts that form bone tissue, and osteoclasts that break it down, are in symbiotic relationships throughout life. Growing evidence indicates that epigenetic modifications of cells caused by aging contribute to compromised bone remodeling and lead to osteoporosis. A number of epigenetic mechanisms are at play, including DNA/RNA modifications, histone modifications, microRNAs (miRNAs), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as well as chromatin remodeling. CONCLUSION In this review, we summarized the epigenetic modifications of different bone-related cells during the development and progression of osteoporosis associated with aging. Additionally, we described a compensatory recovery mechanism under epigenetic regulation that may lead to new strategies for regulating bone remodeling in age-related osteoporosis.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Although studies have described muscle-bone interactions via humoral factors, we reported that EVs from C2C12 muscle cells (Myo-EVs) suppress osteoclast formation. Current clinical evidence suggests that inflammation induces both sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Although tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a critical proinflammatory factor, the influences of TNF-α on muscle-bone interactions and Myo-EVs are still unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effects of TNF-α stimulation of C2C12 cells on osteoclast formation and osteoblastic differentiation modulated by Myo-EVs in mouse cells. TNF-α significantly decreased the protein amount in Myo-EVs, but did not affect the Myo-EV size distribution. TNF-α treatment of C2C12 myoblasts significantly decreased the suppression of osteoclast formation induced by Myo-EVs from C2C12 myoblasts in mouse bone marrow cells. Moreover, TNF-α treatment of C2C12 myoblasts in mouse preosteoclastic Raw 264.7 cells significantly limited the Myo-EV-induced suppression of osteoclast formation and decreased the Myo-EV-induced increase in mRNA levels of osteoclast formation-related genes. On the other hand, TNF-α treatment of C2C12 muscle cells significantly decreased the degree of Myo-EV-promoted mRNA levels of Osterix and osteocalcin, as well as ALP activity in mouse mesenchymal ST-2 cells. TNF-α also significantly decreased miR196-5p level in Myo-EVs from C2C12 myoblasts in quantitative real-time PCR. In conclusion, TNF-α stimulation of C2C12 muscle cells blunts both the osteoclast formation suppression and the osteoblastic differentiation promotion that occurs due to Myo-EVs in mouse cells. Thus, TNF-α may disrupt the muscle-bone interactions by direct Myo-EV modulation.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is biologically based on the spatiotemporal remodeling process in periodontium, the mechanisms of which remain obscure. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, play a pivotal role in maintaining periodontal homeostasis at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. Under force stimuli, mechanosensitive ncRNAs with altered expression levels transduce mechanical load to modulate intracellular genes. These ncRNAs regulate the biomechanical responses of periodontium in the catabolic, anabolic, and coupling phases throughout OTM. To achieve this, down or upregulated ncRNAs actively participate in cell proliferation, differentiation, autophagy, inflammatory, immune, and neurovascular responses. This review highlights the regulatory mechanism of fine-tuning ncRNAs in periodontium remodeling during OTM, laying the foundation for safe, precise, and personalized orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Myostatin acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth. Its effect on fat mass is subject to debate. Among alcoholics, there is a high prevalence of muscle atrophy, and increased fat deposition has been also described in these patients. Myostatin could be involved in these alterations, but its relationships with body composition have been scarcely studied in alcoholic patients. To analyze the behavior of myostatin among alcoholics and its relationship with alcohol intake, liver function, and body composition. We investigated serum myostatin in 59 male patients and 18 controls. Patients were all heavy drinkers admitted with organic complications related to excessive ethanol ingestion. Densitometry analysis was used to assess body composition in 46 patients. Handgrip was assessed in 51 patients. Patients showed lower myostatin values than controls (Z = 3.80; p < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between myostatin and fat at the right leg (ρ = 0.32; p = 0.028), left leg (ρ = 0.32; p = 0.028), trunk (ρ = 0.31, p = 0.038), total fat proport ion (ρ = 0.33, p = 0.026), and gynecoid fat distribution (ρ = 0.40, p = 0.006) but not with lean mass (total lean ρ = 0.07; p = 0.63; trunk lean ρ = 0.03; p = 0.85; lower limbs ρ = 0.08; p = 0.58; upper limbs ρ = 0.04 p = 0.82; android ρ = 0.02; p = 0.88, or gynoid lean mass ρ = 0.20; p = 0.19). In total, 80.43% of patients showed at least one criterion of osteosarcopenic adiposity (OSA). Myostatin was related to OSA obesity. We also observed higher myostatin values among patients with body mass index > 30 kg/m2. Serum myostatin was lower among excessive drinkers, and it was related to increased fat deposition among these patients but not to lean mass, handgrip, or bone mineral density.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are two common rheumatic disorders marked by persistent inflammatory joint disease. Patients with RA have osteodestructive symptoms, but those with AS have osteoproliferative manifestations. Ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and muscles are all affected by rheumatic disorders. In recent years, many epigenetic factors contributing to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid disorders have been studied. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules implicated as potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers in rheumatic diseases. MiRNAs play a critical role in the modulation of bone homeostasis and joint remodeling by controlling fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), chondrocytes, and osteocytes. Several miRNAs have been shown to be dysregulated in rheumatic diseases, including miR-10a, 16, 17, 18a, 19, 20a, 21, 27a, 29a, 34a, 103a, 125b, 132, 137, 143, 145, 146a, 155, 192, 203, 221, 222, 301a, 346, and 548a.The major molecular pathways governed by miRNAs in these cells are Wnt, bone-morphogenic protein (BMP), nuclear factor (NF)-κB, receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor pathway. This review aimed to provide an overview of the most important signaling pathways controlled by miRNAs in rheumatic diseases.

Osteoclast-derived extracellular miR-106a-5p promotes osteogenic differentiation and facilitates bone defect healing. Cell Signal 2023; 102:110549.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are considered to play critical roles in intercellular communications during normal and pathological processes since they are enriched with miRNAs and other signal molecules. In bone remodeling, osteoclasts generate large amounts of sEVs. However, there is very few research studying whether and how osteoclast-derived sEVs (OC-sEVs) affect surrounding cells. In our study, microarray analysis identified miR-106a-5p as highly enriched in OC-sEV. Further experiments confirmed that OC-sEVs inhibited Fam134a through miR-106a-5p and significantly promoted bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic mineralization in vitro. Next, we prepared an sEV-modified demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as scaffold treating calvarial defect mouse model to evaluate the pro-osteogenic activities of the scaffold. In vivo results indicated that DBM modified with miR-106a-5p-sEVs showed an enhanced capacity for bone regeneration. This important finding further emphasizes that sEV-mediated miR-106a-5p transfer plays a critical role in osteogenesis and indicates a novel communication mode between osteoclasts and BMSCs.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compound, Ursolic acid (UA), plus different types of exercise may exert the action on glycemic control, leading to clinical benefits in the prevention and treatment of aging/diabetes-associated complications. So, this study examined the effects of eight weeks combination of 250 mg of UA per day per kilogram of body weight of rat as well as resistance/endurance training on miR-133a expression across serum, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and Connexin 43 (Cx43)-Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) signaling axis in high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin-induced T2D (here, HFD/STZ-induced T2D). The study was conducted on 56 male Wistar rats (427 ± 44 g, 21 months old), having HFD/STZ-induced T2D randomly assigned into 7 groups of 8 including (1) sedentary non-diabetic old rats (C); (2) sedentary type 2 diabetes animal model (D); (3) sedentary type 2 diabetes animal model + UA (DU); (4) endurance-trained type 2 diabetes animal model (DE); (5) resistance-trained type 2 diabetes animal model (DR); (6) endurance-trained type 2 diabetes animal model + UA (DEU); and (7) resistance-trained type 2 diabetes animal model + UA (DRU). Resistance training included a model of eight weeks of ladder resistance training at 60-80% maximal voluntary carrying capacity (MVCC) for five days/week. Treadmill endurance exercise protocol included eight weeks of repetitive bouts of low-/high-intensity training with 30%-40% and 60%-75% maximal running speed for five days/week, respectively. UA Supplementary groups were treated with 500 mg of UA per kg of high-fat diet per day. The results revealed significant supplement and exercise interaction effects for the BM miR-133a (p = 0.001), the bone marrow Runx2 (p = 0.002), but not the serum miR-133a (p = 0.517), the skeletal muscle miR-133a (p = 0.097) and the Cx43 (p = 0.632). In conclusion, only eight weeks of resistance-type exercise could affect miR-133a profile in muscles and osteoblast differentiation biomarker RUNX2 in aged T2D model of rats. 250 mg of UA per kilogram of body weight rat per day was administered orally, less than the sufficient dose for biological and physiological impacts on osteoblast differentiation biomarkers in aged T2D model of rats following eight weeks.

Abstract
The past decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of skeletal homeostasis and the mechanisms that mediate the loss of bone integrity in disease. Recent breakthroughs have arisen mainly from identifying disease-causing mutations and modeling human bone disease in rodents, in essence, highlighting the integrative nature of skeletal physiology. It has become increasingly clear that bone cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, communicate and regulate the fate of each other through RANK/RANKL/OPG, liver X receptors (LXRs), EphirinB2-EphB4 signaling, sphingolipids, and other membrane-associated proteins, such as semaphorins. Mounting evidence also showed that critical developmental pathways, namely, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), NOTCH, and WNT, interact each other and play an important role in postnatal bone remodeling. The skeleton communicates not only with closely situated organs, such as bone marrow, muscle, and fat, but also with remote vital organs, such as the kidney, liver, and brain. The metabolic effect of bone-derived osteocalcin highlights a possible role of skeleton in energy homeostasis. Furthermore, studies using genetically modified rodent models disrupting the reciprocal relationship with tropic pituitary hormone and effector hormone have unraveled an independent role of pituitary hormone in skeletal remodeling beyond the role of regulating target endocrine glands. The cytokine-mediated skeletal actions and the evidence of local production of certain pituitary hormones by bone marrow-derived cells displays a unique endocrine-immune-skeletal connection. Here, we discuss recently elucidated mechanisms controlling the remodeling of bone, communication of bone cells with cells of other lineages, crosstalk between bone and vital organs, as well as opportunities for treating diseases of the skeleton.

Liu F, Sun T, An Y, Ming L, Li Y, Zhou Z, Shang F. The potential therapeutic role of extracellular vesicles in critical-size bone defects: Spring of cell-free regenerative medicine is coming. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1050916. [PMID: 36733961 PMCID: PMC9887316 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1050916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of critical-size bone defects has significantly increased. Critical-size bone defects seriously affect patients' motor functions and quality of life and increase the need for additional clinical treatments. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made great progress in repairing critical-size bone defects. As one of the main components of bone tissue engineering, stem cell-based therapy is considered a potential effective strategy to regenerate bone tissues. However, there are some disadvantages including phenotypic changes, immune rejection, potential tumorigenicity, low homing efficiency and cell survival rate that restrict its wider clinical applications. Evidence has shown that the positive biological effects of stem cells on tissue repair are largely mediated through paracrine action by nanostructured extracellular vesicles (EVs), which may overcome the limitations of traditional stem cell-based treatments. In addition to stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, the potential therapeutic roles of nonstem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in critical-size bone defect repair have also attracted attention from scholars in recent years. Currently, the development of extracellular vesicles-mediated cell-free regenerative medicine is still in the preliminary stage, and the specific mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, the authors first review the research progress and possible mechanisms of extracellular vesicles combined with bone tissue engineering scaffolds to promote bone regeneration via bioactive molecules. Engineering modified extracellular vesicles is an emerging component of bone tissue engineering and its main progression and clinical applications will be discussed. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of developing extracellular vesicle-based regenerative medicine will be given. This review may provide a theoretical basis for the future development of extracellular vesicle-based biomedicine and provide clinical references for promoting the repair of critical-size bone defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital myopathies are rare neuromuscular disorders presenting with a wide spectrum of clinical features, including long bone fractures (LBFs) that negatively influence functional prognosis, quality of life and survival. Systematic research on bone quality in these patients is lacking. OBJECTIVE This scoping review aims to summarize all evidence on bone quality and to deduce recommendations for bone quality management in congenital myopathies. METHODS Five electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, CINAHL) were searched. All studies on bone quality in congenital myopathies were included. Decreased bone quality was defined as low bone mineral density and/or (fragility) LBFs. Study selection and data extraction were performed by three independent reviewers. RESULTS We included 244 single cases (mean: 4.1±7.6 years; median: 0 years) diagnosed with a congenital myopathy from 35 articles. Bone quality was decreased in 93 patients (37%) (mean: 2.6±6.8 years; median: 0 years). Low bone mineral density was reported in 11 patients (4.5%) (mean: 10.9±9.7; median: 11 years). Congenital LBFs were reported in 64 patients (26%). (Fragility) LBFs later at life were described in 24 patients (9.8%) (mean: 14.9±11.0; median: 14 years). Four cases (1.6%) were reported to receive vitamin D and/or calcium supplementation or diphosphonate administration. CONCLUSION LBFs are thus frequently reported in congenital myopathies. We therefore recommend optimal bone quality management through bone mineral density assessment, vitamin D and calcium suppletion, and referral to internal medicine or pediatrics for consideration of additional therapies in order to prevent complications of low bone mineral density.

Advances in the Study of Exosomes as Drug Delivery Systems for Bone-Related Diseases. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010220.

Abstract
Bone-related diseases are major problems and heavy burdens faced by modern society. Current clinical approaches for the treatment of these pathological conditions often lead to complications and have limited therapeutic efficacy. In this context, the development of nanotherapeutic platforms, such as extracellular vesicles, can improve the relevant therapeutic effects. In particular, exosomes are nano-sized, lipid bilayer extracellular vesicles secreted by many cells in mammals. Due to their innate capacity to transport materials-including proteins, lipids, and genes-among cells, as well as their innate attraction to target cells, they are considered to be a crucial medium for cell communication and are involved in a number of biological processes. Exosomes have been used as drug delivery vehicles in recent bone tissue engineering studies, in order to regulate bone homeostasis. However, the precise workings of the exosome regulatory network in maintaining bone homeostasis and its potential for treating bone injury remain unclear. To provide a fresh perspective for the study of exosomes in drug delivery and bone-related diseases, in this paper, we review recent studies on the roles of exosomes for drug delivery in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases, as well as the composition and characteristics of exosomes and their regulatory roles in bone homeostasis and bone-related diseases, aiming to provide new ideas for the therapeutic application of exosomes in the treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Production of large amounts of meat within a short growth period from modern broilers provides a huge economic benefit to the poultry industry. However, poor bone qualities of broilers caused by rapid growth are considered as one of the problems in the modern broilers industry. After discovery and investigation of myostatin (MSTN) as an anti-myogenic factor to increase muscle mass by targeted knockout in various animal models, additional positive effects of MSTN mutation on bone qualities have been reported in MSTN knockout mice. Although the same beneficial effects on muscle gain by MSTN mutation have been confirmed in MSTN mutant quail and chickens, bone qualities of the MSTN mutant birds have not been investigated, yet. In this study, tibia bones were collected from MSTN mutant and wild-type (WT) quail at 4 months of age and analyzed by Micro-Computed Tomography scanning to compare size and strength of tibia bone and quality parameters in diaphysis and metaphysis regions. Length, width, cortical thickness, and bone breaking strength of tibia bones in the MSTN mutant group were significantly increased compared to those of the WT group, indicating positive effects of MSTN mutation on tibia bone sizes and strength. Furthermore, bone mineral contents and bone volume of whole diaphysis, diaphyseal cortical bone, whole metaphysis, and metaphyseal trabecular and cortical bones were significantly increased in the MSTN mutant group compared to the WT group, indicating increased mineralization in the overall tibia bone by MSTN mutation. Especially, higher bone mineral density (BMD) of whole diaphysis, higher total surface of whole metaphysis, and higher BMD, trabecular thickness, and total volume of metaphyseal trabecular bones in the MSTN mutant group compared to the WT group suggested improvements in bone qualities and structural soundness of both diaphysis and metaphysis regions with significant changes in trabecular bones by MSTN mutation. Taken together, MSTN can be considered as a potential target to not only increase meat yield, but also to improve bone qualities that can reduce the incidence of leg bone problems for the broiler industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SELENON(SEPN1)-related myopathy (SELENON-RM) is a rare congenital neuromuscular disease characterized by proximal and axial muscle weakness, spinal rigidity, scoliosis and respiratory impairment. No curative treatment options exist, but promising preclinical studies are ongoing. Currently, natural history data are lacking, while selection of appropriate clinical and functional outcome measures is needed to reach trial readiness. OBJECTIVE We aim to identify all Dutch and Dutch-speaking Belgian SELENON-RM patients, deep clinical phenotyping, trial readiness and optimization of clinical care. METHODS This cross-sectional, single-center, observational study comprised neurological examination, functional measurements including Motor Function Measurement 20/32 (MFM-20/32) and accelerometry, questionnaires, muscle ultrasound, respiratory function tests, electro- and echocardiography, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS Eleven patients with genetically confirmed SELENON-RM were included (20±13 (3-42) years, 73% male). Axial and proximal muscle weakness were most pronounced. The mean MFM-20/32 score was 71.2±15.1%, with domain 1 (standing and transfers) being most severely affected. Accelerometry showed a strong correlation with MFM-20/32. Questionnaires revealed impaired quality of life, pain and problematic fatigue. Muscle ultrasound showed symmetrically increased echogenicity in all muscles. Respiratory function, and particularly diaphragm function, was impaired in all patients, irrespective of the age. Cardiac assessment showed normal left ventricular systolic function in all patients but abnormal left ventricular global longitudinal strain in 43% of patients and QRS fragmentation in 80%. Further, 80% of patients showed decreased bone mineral density on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan and 55% of patients retrospectively experienced fragility long bone fractures. CONCLUSIONS We recommend cardiorespiratory follow-up as a part of routine clinical care in all patients. Furthermore, we advise vitamin D supplementation and optimization of calcium intake to improve bone quality. We recommend management interventions to reduce pain and fatigue. For future clinical trials, we propose MFM-20/32, accelerometry and muscle ultrasound to capture disease severity and possibly disease progression.
