Abstract
Extensive research has delved into the multifaceted roles of osteoclasts beyond their traditional function in bone resorption in recent years, uncovering their significant influence on bone formation. This shift in understanding has spurred investigations into engineering strategies aimed at leveraging osteoclasts to not only inhibit bone resorption but also facilitate bone regeneration. This review seeks to comprehensively examine the mechanisms by which osteoclasts impact bone metabolism. Additionally, it explores various engineering methodologies, including the modification of bioactive material properties, localized drug delivery, and the introduction of exogenous cells, assessing their potential and mechanisms in aiding bone repair by targeting osteoclasts. Finally, the review proposes current limitations and future routes for manipulating osteoclasts through biological and material cues to facilitate bone repair.

Hsieh MK, Wang CY, Kao FC, Su HT, Chen MF, Tsai TT, Lai PL. Local application of zoledronate inhibits early bone resorption and promotes bone formation. JBMR Plus 2024; 8:ziae031. [PMID: 38606146 PMCID: PMC11008729 DOI: 10.1093/jbmrpl/ziae031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Nonunion resulting from early bone resorption is common after bone transplantation surgery. In these patients, instability or osteoporosis causes hyperactive catabolism relative to anabolism, leading to graft resorption instead of fusion. Systemic zoledronate administration inhibits osteoclastogenesis and is widely used to prevent osteoporosis; however, evidence on local zoledronate application is controversial due to osteoblast cytotoxicity, uncontrolled dosing regimens, and local release methods. We investigated the effects of zolendronate on osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis and explored the corresponding signaling pathways. In vitro cytotoxicity and differentiation of MC3T3E1 cells, rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and preosteoclasts (RAW264.7 cells) were evaluated with different zolendronate concentrations. In vivo bone regeneration ability was tested by transplanting different concentrations of zolendronate with β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone substitute into rat femoral critical-sized bone defects. In vitro, zolendronate concentrations below 2.5 × 10-7 M did not compromise viability in the three cell lines and did not promote osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3E1 cells and BMSCs. In RAW264.7 cells, zoledronate inhibited extracellular regulated protein kinases and c-Jun n-terminal kinase signaling, downregulating c-Fos and NFATc1 expression, with reduced expression of fusion-related dendritic cell‑specific transmembrane protein and osteoclast-specific Ctsk and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (. In vivo, histological staining revealed increased osteoid formation and neovascularization and reduced fibrotic tissue with 500 μM and 2000 μM zolendronate. More osteoclasts were found in the normal saline group after 6 weeks, and sequential osteoclast formation occurred after zoledronate treatment, indicating inhibition of bone resorption during early callus formation without inhibition of late-stage bone remodeling. In vivo, soaking β-TCP artificial bone with 500 μM or 2000 μM zoledronate is a promising approach for bone regeneration, with potential applications in bone transplantation.

Abstract
Together with diabetic osteoporosis (DOP), diabetes patients experience poor peri-implant osteogenesis following implantation for dentition defects. Zoledronate (ZOL) is widely used to treat osteoporosis clinically. To evaluate the mechanism of ZOL for the treatment of DOP, experiments with DOP rats and high glucose-grown MC3T3-E1 cells were used. The DOP rats treated with ZOL and/or ZOL implants underwent a 4-week implant-healing interval, and then microcomputed tomography, biomechanical testing, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to elucidate the mechanism. In addition, MC3T3-E1 cells were maintained in an osteogenic medium with or without ZOL to confirm the mechanism. The cell migration, cellular actin content, and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated by a cell activity assay, a cell migration assay, as well as alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red S, and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA and protein expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and collagen type I (Col-I) were detected using real-time quantitative PCRs and western blot assays, respectively. In the DOP rats, ZOL markedly improved osteogenesis, enhanced bone strength and increased the expression of AMPK, p-AMPK, and Col-I in peri-implant bones. The in vitro findings showed that ZOL reversed the high glucose-induced inhibition of osteogenesis via the AMPK signaling pathway. In conclusion, the ability of ZOL to promote osteogenesis in DOP by targeting AMPK signaling suggests that therapy with ZOL, particularly simultaneous local and systemic administration, may be a unique approach for future implant repair in diabetes patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a pathological condition characterized by an accelerated bone resorption rate, resulting in decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures, particularly among the elderly population. While conventional treatments for osteoporosis have shown efficacy, they are associated with certain limitations, including limited drug bioavailability, non-specific administration, and the occurrence of adverse effects. In recent years, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for managing osteoporosis. Nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical properties, such as a small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface characteristics, which enable them to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. These nanoparticles offer several advantages, including enhanced drug stability, controlled release kinetics, targeted bone tissue delivery, and improved drug bioavailability. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the recent advancements in nanoparticle-based therapy for osteoporosis. It elucidates the various types of nanoparticles employed in this context, including silica, polymeric, solid lipid, and metallic nanoparticles, along with their specific processing techniques and inherent properties that render them suitable as potential drug carriers for osteoporosis treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the challenges and future suggestions associated with the development and translation of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for clinical use. These challenges encompass issues such as scalability, safety assessment, and regulatory considerations. However, despite these challenges, the utilization of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems holds immense promise in revolutionizing the field of osteoporosis management by enabling more effective and targeted therapies, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Recent trends in bone tissue engineering have focused on the development of biomimetic constructs with appropriate mechanical and physiochemical properties. Here, we report the fabrication of an innovative biomaterial scaffold based on a new bisphosphonate-containing synthetic polymer combined with gelatin. To this end, zoledronate (ZA)-functionalized polycaprolactone (PCL-ZA) was synthesized by a chemical grafting reaction. After adding gelatin to the PCL-ZA polymer solution, the porous PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was fabricated by the freeze-casting method. A scaffold with aligned pores and a porosity of 82.04 % was obtained. During in vitro biodegradability test, 49 % of its initial weight lost after 5 weeks. The elastic modulus of the PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was 31.4 MPa, and its tensile strength was 4.2 MPa. Based on the results of MTT assay, the scaffold had good cytocompatibility with human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hADMSCs). Furthermore, cells grown in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold showed the highest mineralization and ALP activity compared to other test groups. Results of the RT-PCR test revealed that RUNX2, COL 1A1, and OCN genes were expressed in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold at the highest level, suggesting its good osteoinductive capacity. These results revealed that PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold could be considered a proper biomimetic platform for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biopolymers are polymers obtained from either renewable or non-renewable sources and are the most suitable candidate for tailor-made nanoparticles owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity and immunogenicity. Biopolymeric nanoparticles (BPn) can be classified as natural (polysaccharide and protein based) and synthetic on the basis of their origin. They have been gaining wide interest in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, imaging and cancer therapy. BPn can be synthesized by various fabrication strategies such as emulsification, ionic gelation, nanoprecipitation, electrospray drying and so on. The main aim of the review is to understand the use of nanoparticles obtained from biodegradable biopolymers for various biomedical applications. There are very few reviews highlighting biopolymeric nanoparticles employed for medical applications; this review is an attempt to explore the possibilities of using these materials for various biomedical applications. This review highlights protein based (albumin, gelatin, collagen, silk fibroin); polysaccharide based (chitosan, starch, alginate, dextran) and synthetic (Poly lactic acid, Poly vinyl alcohol, Poly caprolactone) BPn that has recently been used in many applications. The fabrication strategies of different BPn are also being highlighted. The future perspective and the challenges faced in employing biopolymeric nanoparticles are also reviewed.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative efficacy and multiple adverse effects. Biomaterials-based therapeutic strategies have recently emerged as promising alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. The present review summarizes the current status of biomaterials designed for managing osteoporosis. The advantages of biomaterials-based strategies over conventional systematic drug treatment are presented. Different anti-osteoporotic delivery systems are concisely addressed. These materials include injectable hydrogels and nanoparticles, as well as anti-osteoporotic bone tissue engineering materials. Fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, electrostatic spinning and artificial intelligence are appraised in the context of how the use of these adjunctive techniques may improve treatment efficacy. The limitations of existing biomaterials are critically analyzed, together with deliberation of the future directions in biomaterials-based therapies. The latter include discussion on the use of combination strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy in the osteoporosis niche.

Abstract
Since ancient times, reduction and internal fixation has been applied to restore skeletal integrity. Despite advances in the understanding of fracture healing, the risk of complication such as implant loosening or implant-related infection still depicts a challenging complication. Nowadays, a great deal of research is devoted to unreveal the impact of implant surface modifications on osteogenic processes to enhance bone consolidation and osseointegration. This narrative review is aimed to (1) show the evolution and already achieved milestones of implant optimization, and (2) to outline the key factors that contribute to an enhanced osseointegration. Different physical and chemical roughening techniques are currently applied in various studies. Surface patterning on the nanoscale has been found to be an essential factor for the biological response, achievable by e.g. anodisation or laser texturing. Besides surface roughening, also different coating methods are vastly investigated. Next to metal or inorganic compounds as coating material, a variety of biomolecules is currently studied for their osteosupportive capacities. Osseointegration can be improved by surface modification on the micro and nanoscale. Bioactive agents can further improve the osseointegration potential. Used agents at the moment are e.g. inorganic compounds, growth factors (BMPs and non-BMPs) and antiresorptive drugs. The advancement in research on new implant generations therefore aims at actively supporting osseointegration processing.

High-Fat Diet Increases Bone Loss by Inducing Ferroptosis in Osteoblasts. Stem Cells Int 2022; 2022:9359429.

Abstract
Current research suggests that chronic high-fat dietary intake can lead to bone loss in adults; however, the mechanism by which high-fat diets affect the development of osteoporosis in individuals is unclear. As high-fat diets are strongly associated with ferroptosis, whether ferroptosis mediates high-fat diet-induced bone loss was the focus of our current study. By dividing the mice into a high-fat diet group, a high-fat diet + ferroptosis inhibitor group and a normal chow group, mice in the high-fat group were given a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. The mice in the high-fat diet + ferroptosis inhibitor group were given 1 mg/kg Fer-1 per day intraperitoneally at the start of the high-fat diet. Microscopic CT scans, histological tests, and biochemical indicators of ferroptosis were performed on bone tissue from all three groups at the end of the modelling period. Mc3t3-E1 cells were also used in vitro and divided into three groups: high-fat medium group, high-fat medium+ferroptosis inhibitor group, and control group. After 24 hours of incubation in high-fat medium, Mc3t3-E1 cells were assayed for ferroptosis marker proteins and biochemical parameters, and osteogenesis induction was performed simultaneously. Cellular alkaline phosphatase content and expression of osteogenesis-related proteins were measured at day 7 of osteogenesis induction. The results showed that a high-fat diet led to the development of femoral bone loss in mice and that this process could be inhibited by ferroptosis inhibitors. The high-fat diet mainly affected the number of osteoblasts produced in the bone marrow cavity. The high-fat environment in vitro inhibited osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and significant changes in ferroptosis-related biochemical parameters were observed. These findings have implications for the future clinical treatment of bone loss caused by high-fat diets.

Exploring the Association between Glutathione Metabolism and Ferroptosis in Osteoblasts with Disuse Osteoporosis and the Key Genes Connecting them. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4914727.

Abstract
Disused osteoporosis is a kind of osteoporosis, a common age-related disease. Neurological disorders are major risk factors for osteoporosis. Though there are many studies on disuse osteoporosis, the genetic mechanisms for the association between glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis in osteoblasts with disuse osteoporosis are still unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the key genes and other related mechanism of ferroptosis and glutathione metabolism in osteoblast differentiation and disuse osteoporosis. By weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), the process of osteoblast differentiation-related genes was studied in GSE30393. And the related functional pathways were found through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. By combining GSE1367 and GSE100933 together, key genes which were separately bound up with glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis were located. The correlation of these key genes was analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient. GSTM1 targeted agonist glutathione (GSH) selected by connectivity map (CMap) analysis was used to interfere with the molding disused osteoporosis process in MC3T3-E1 cells. RT-PCR and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were performed. Two important pathways, glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis pathways, were found. GSTM1 and TFRC were thought as key genes in disuse osteoporosis osteoblasts with the two mechanisms. The two genes have a strong negative correlation. Our experiment results showed that the expression of TFRC was consistent with the negative correlation with the activation process of GSTM1. The strong relationship between the two genes was proved. Glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis are important in the normal differentiation of osteoblasts and the process of disuse osteoporosis. GSTM1 and TFRC were the key genes. The two genes interact with each other, which can be seen as a bridge between the two pathways. The two genes participate in the process of reducing ROS in disuse osteoporosis osteoblasts.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) such as Zoledronic acid (ZA) are a subset of synthetic small molecules, which are now marketed as the main drugs to stimulate the growth and differentiation of osteoblast cells, thereby increasing bone formation as well as preventing bone loss. Also, Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs)-polymer composites have attracted a lot of attention due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, low density, and high hydrophilicity, and are easily dispersed in hydrophilic biopolymers. In addition, their ability to carry enough amounts of drugs and the ability to control release has been demonstrated. Based on studies, the Gelatin-based scaffold with Halloysite nanotube (HNT) has the capacity as a drug carrier and Zoledronic acid (ZA) sustains release. Previous studies show that using ZA intravenously has some severe side effects and limitations. But by attention to the advantages of its osteogenesis, the current study has been done in order to reduce the side effects of local delivery of it. The 3-dimensional scaffolds were prepared by the Freeze-drying method. Characterization methods such as FE-SEM, FTIR, XRD, and release behavior of the scaffold has been performed to evaluate the features of the scaffolds. In fact, as-prepared Gel-HNT/ZA release 49% ZA in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) within 21 days. The mechanical properties have been increased after adding HNTs and ZA from 10.27 to 26.18 MPa. Also, the water absorption has been increased after adding HNTs and ZA from 1.67 to 5.02 (g/g). Seeded human Adipose stem cells (hASCs) on the prepared scaffolds showed that the ZA effectively elevated the proliferation of the hASCs and also the MTT results proved the non-toxicity of all prepared scaffolds by high cell viability (˃80%). The osteogenic differentiation has been accelerated as displayed by ALP and Ca assay. The results propose that the HNTs-loaded Gelatin scaffold could control the releasing of ZA and its localized delivery at the defect site, simultaneously promoting the mechanical and osteogenesis ability of gelatin-based scaffolds.

Therapeutic Treatments for Osteoporosis-Which Combination of Pills Is the Best among the Bad? Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031393.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronical, systemic skeletal disorder characterized by an increase in bone resorption, which leads to reduced bone density. The reduction in bone mineral density and therefore low bone mass results in an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance in the normally strictly regulated bone homeostasis. This imbalance is caused by overactive bone-resorbing osteoclasts, while bone-synthesizing osteoblasts do not compensate for this. In this review, the mechanism is presented, underlined by in vitro and animal models to investigate this imbalance as well as the current status of clinical trials. Furthermore, new therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis are presented, such as anabolic treatments and catabolic treatments and treatments using biomaterials and biomolecules. Another focus is on new combination therapies with multiple drugs which are currently considered more beneficial for the treatment of osteoporosis than monotherapies. Taken together, this review starts with an overview and ends with the newest approaches for osteoporosis therapies and a future perspective not presented so far.

Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a global pandemic that has contributed to the burden of disease, and the synergistic interaction between Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and HIV has assisted further in the spread of the HIV disease. Moreover, several chemotherapeutic treatment options from antiviral monotherapy to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have been adopted to manage the infection; however, HIV has developed new mechanisms against these active pharmaceutical agents (APAs), limiting the effect of the drugs. In this article, we reviewed different nanoparticles and their antiviral potency against HSV and HIV infection as well as the effect of drug encapsulated nanoparticles using different drug delivery systems as they palliate to some flaws or deficiencies that the stand-alone drugs present. Drug encapsulated nanoparticles show better treatment outcomes of HSV and HIV infection. The nanoparticles can transverse the anatomic privilege sites to exert their therapeutic effect, and a prolonged and higher dose of the encapsulated therapeutic agent can ease the dosage frequency, thus palliating low drug compliance which the stand-alone drugs fail to perform. Therefore, it is clear that nanoparticles prevent antiviral drug resistance by maintaining sustained drug release over an extended period, improving the therapeutic effect of the entrapped drug.

Abstract
The introduction of nanoparticles into bone tissue engineering strategies is beneficial to govern cell fate into osteogenesis and the regeneration of large bone defects. The present study explored the role of nanoparticles to advance osteogenesis with a focus on the cellular and molecular pathways involved. Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Embase, Scopus, and Science Direct databases were explored for those published articles relevant to the involvement of nanoparticles in osteogenic cellular pathways. As multifunctional compounds, nanoparticles contribute to scaffold-free and scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies to progress osteogenesis and bone regeneration. They regulate inflammatory responses and osteo/angio/osteoclastic signaling pathways to generate an osteogenic niche. Besides, nanoparticles interact with biomolecules, enhance their half-life and bioavailability. Nanoparticles are promising candidates to promote osteogenesis. However, the interaction of nanoparticles with the biological milieu is somewhat complicated, and more considerations are recommended on the employment of nanoparticles in clinical applications because of NP-induced toxicities.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most significant causes of morbidity, particularly in post-menopausal women and older men. Despite its remarkable occurrence, the search for an effective treatment is still an open challenge. Here, we systematically reviewed the preclinical and clinical progress in the development of nano-based materials as drug delivery systems against OP, considering the effects on bone healing and regeneration, the more promising composition and manufacturing methods, and the more hopeful drugs and delivery methods. The results showed that almost all the innovative nano-based delivery systems developed in the last ten years have been assessed by preclinical investigations and are still in the preliminary/early research stages. Our search strategy retrieved only one non-randomized controlled trial (RCT) on oligosaccharide nanomedicine of alginate sodium used for degenerative lumbar diseases in OP patients. Further investigations are mandatory for assessing the clinical translation and commercial purposes of these materials. To date, the main limits for the clinical translation of nano-based materials as drug delivery systems against OP are probably due to the low reproducibility of the manufacturing processes, whose specificity and complexity relies on an adequate chemical, structural, and biomechanical characterization, as the necessary prerequisite before assessing the efficacy of a given treatment or process. Finally, an unsatisfactory drug-loading capacity, an uncontrollable release kinetic, and a low delivery efficiency also limit the clinical application.
