[PMID: 38553236 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122039] [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: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Biological processes, such as bone defects healing are precisely controlled in both time and space. This spatiotemporal characteristic inspires novel therapeutic strategies. The sustained-release systems including hydrogels are commonly utilized in the treatment of bone defect; however, traditional hydrogels often release drugs at a consistent rate, lacking temporal precision. In this study, a hybrid hydrogel has been developed by using sodium alginate, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, and electrospray microspheres as the base materials, and designed with ultrasound response, and on-demand release properties. Sucrose acetate isobutyrate was added to the hybrid hydrogel to prevent burst release. The network structure of the hybrid hydrogel is formed by the interconnection of Ca2+ with the carboxyl groups of sodium alginate. Notably, when the hybrid hydrogel is exposed to ultrasound, the ionic bond can be broken to promote drug release; when ultrasound is turned off, the release returned to a low-release state. This hybrid hydrogel reveals not only injectability, degradability, and good mechanical properties but also shows multiple responses to ultrasound. And it has good biocompatibility and promotes osteogenesis efficiency in vivo. Thus, this hybrid hydrogel provides a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
In situ-forming hydrogels are highly effective in covering complex and irregular tissue defects. Herein, a biomimetic gel implant (CS-GEL) consisting of methacrylated chondroitin sulfate and gelatin is obtained via visible light irradiation, which displays rapid gelation (∼30 s), suitable mechanical properties, and biological features to support osteoblast attachment and proliferation. Sclerostin is proven to be a viable target to promote osteogenesis. Hence, baicalin, a natural flavonoid with a high affinity to sclerostin, is selected as the therapeutic compound to achieve localized neutralization of sclerostin. To overcome its poor solubility and permeability, a baicalin nanocomplex (BNP) is synthesized using Solutol HS15, which is then dispersed in the CS-GEL to afford a nanocomposite delivery system, i.e., BNP-loaded gel (BNP@CS-GEL). In vitro, BNP significantly downregulated the level of sclerostin in MLO-Y4 osteocytes. In vivo, either CS-GEL or BNP@CS-GEL is proven to effectively promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in a calvarial critical-sized bone defect rat model, with BNP@CS-GEL showing the best pro-healing effect. Specifically, the BNP@CS-GEL-treated group significantly downregulated the sclerostin level as compared to the sham group (p < 0.05). RANKL expression was also significantly suppressed by BNP in MLO-Y4 cells and BNP@CS-GEL in vivo. Collectively, our study offers a facile and viable gel platform in combination with nanoparticulated baicalin for the localized neutralization of sclerostin to promote bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
A satisfactory clinical effect in treating periodontitis is often difficult to achieve by conventional non-surgical systemic drug delivery due to the narrow anatomical structure of the periodontal pocket and insufficient drug concentration at lesion sites. In addition, the feasibility of combating periodontal tissue lesions by restoring the alveolar bone and allowing collagen regeneration has not been fully explored. The objective of this study was to prepare a microemulsion integrating the anti-inflammatory and osteogenic active ingredients of baicalin and clove oil (BC-MEs). Then, the composite hydrogel obtained by mixing poloxamer 407 and 188 was used as the thermosensitive gel matrix to load BC-MEs and form a drug reservoir (Gel-BC-MEs) injectable in situ. Gel-BC-MEs exhibited a significant, sustained release of baicalin for 12 h, gelation temperature was 33.4 ± 0.36 °C, and pH was 5.45 ± 0.12. The experiment on a rat periodontitis model demonstrated that Gel-BC-MEs significantly improved periodontal tissue repair by collagen regeneration and osteogenesis by inhibiting osteoclast infiltration. This study proposes a novel strategy for periodontal tissue repair by enhancing the therapeutic potential of a microemulsion using an in situ nano-gel delivery system.

Abstract
Osteoclast is a hematopoietic precursor cell derived from the mononuclear macrophage cell line, which is the only cell with bone resorption function. Its abnormal activation can cause serious osteolysis related diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease and osteoporosis. In recent years, the adverse effects caused by anabolic anti-osteolytic drugs have increased the interest of researchers in the potential therapeutic and preventive effects of natural plant derivatives and natural compounds against osteolytic diseases caused by osteoclasts. Natural plant derivatives and natural compounds have become major research hotspots for the treatment of osteolysis-related diseases due to their good safety profile and ability to improve bone. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in the molecular mechanisms of RANKL and downstream signaling pathways in osteoclast differentiation, and briefly outlines potential natural compounds with antiosteoclast activity and molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that is involved in the biorhythm of reproductive activities. The present study investigated the inhibitory effects of melatonin on osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 cells according to changes in V-ATPase and the corresponding inhibition of the MAPK and NFATc1 signaling processes. Methods: the cytotoxic effect of melatonin was investigated by MTT assay. Osteoclast differentiation and gene expression of osteoclast-related factors were confirmed via TRAP staining, pit formation assay, immunofluorescence imaging, western blot, and real-time PCR. Results: melatonin was found to inactivate the p38 and JNK of MAP kinase in RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL and treated with a combination RANKL and melatonin for 1, 3, and 5 days. The melatonin treatment group showed a reduction in osteoclastogenesis transcription factors and ATP6v0d2 gene expression. Conclusions: melatonin inhibits osteoclast differentiation and cell fusion by inhibiting the expression of Atp6v0d2 through the inactivation of MAPK and NFATc1 signaling in RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The findings of the present study suggest that melatonin could be a suitable therapy for bone loss and imply a potential role of melatonin in bone health.

Abstract
Bone-destructive diseases, caused by overdifferentiation of osteoclasts, reduce bone mass and quality, and disrupt bone microstructure, thereby causes osteoporosis, Paget's disease, osteolytic bone metastases, and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoclasts, the only multinucleated cells with bone resorption function, are derived from haematopoietic progenitors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. The regulation of osteoclast differentiation is considered an effective target for the treatment of bone-destructive diseases. Natural plant-derived products have received increasing attention in recent years due to their good safety profile, the preference of natural compounds over synthetic drugs, and their potential therapeutic and preventive activity against osteoclast-mediated bone-destructive diseases. In this study, we reviewed the research progress of the potential antiosteoclast active compounds extracted from medicinal plants and their molecular mechanisms. Active compounds from natural plants that inhibit osteoclast differentiation and functions include flavonoids, terpenoids, quinones, glucosides, polyphenols, alkaloids, coumarins, lignans, and limonoids. They inhibit bone destruction by downregulating the expression of osteoclast-specific marker genes (CTSK, MMP-9, TRAP, OSCAR, DC-STAMP, V-ATPase d2, and integrin av3) and transcription factors (c-Fos, NFATc1, and c-Src), prevent the effects of local factors (ROS, LPS, and NO), and suppress the activation of various signalling pathways (MAPK, NF-κB, Akt, and Ca2+). Therefore, osteoclast-targeting natural products are of great value in the prevention and treatment of bone destructive diseases.

Abstract
Background Osteoclasts are the major players in bone resorption and have always been studied in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Previous studies have confirmed that a variety of flavonoids inhibit osteoporosis and improve bone health mainly through inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Oroxin B (OB) is a flavonoid compound extracted from traditional Chinese herbal medicine Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent, exerts potent antitumor and anti-inflammation effect, but its effect on osteoclastogensis remains unknown. Methods We comprehensively evaluated the effect of OB on the formation and function of osteoclasts and the underling mechanism by bone marrow-derived macrophage in vitro. In vivo, we used mice ovariectomized model to verify the protective effect of OB. Results OB was found to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption function in vitro, in a dose-dependent manner and the increased osteoclastic-related genes induced by RANKL (NFATc1, c-fos, cathepsin K, RANK, MMP9 and TRAP) were also attenuated following OB treatment. Mechanistical investigation showed OB abrogated the increased phosphorylation level of MAPK and NF-κB pathway, and diminished the expression of the vital transcription factors for osteoclastogenesis. OB also prevented ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast formation and activity in mice. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that OB may act as an anti-osteoporosis agent by inhibiting osteoclast maturation and attenuating bone resorption.

Abstract
We demonstrate a simple, effective and feasible method to address the shrinkage of Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) through a core-shell structure fiber strategy. The results revealed that introducing size-stable poly-caprolactone (PCL) as the core fiber significantly improved the PLGA-based fibrous scaffold's dimensional maintenance. We further utilized fish collagen to modify the PLGA shell layer (PFC) of coaxial fibers and loaded baicalin (BA) into the PCL core layer (PCL-BA) to endow fibrous scaffold with more functional biological cues. The PFC/PCL-BA fibrous scaffold promoted the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells and stimulated the RAW264.7 cells to polarize into a pro-reparative phenotype. Importantly, the in vivo study demonstrated that the PFC/PCL-BA scaffold could regulate inflammation and osteoclast differentiation, favor neovascularization and bone formation. This work tactfully combined PLGA and PCL to establish a drug release platform based on the core-shell fibrous scaffold for vascularized bone regeneration. A multifunctional baicalin-loaded coaxial fiber scaffold prepared by electrospinning. The coaxial nanofiber can effectively resist the shrinkage of PLGA. Baicalin endow the nanofibrous scaffold with excellent biological properties. The scaffold can alleviate the inflammation and achieve vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone destruction is an important pathological feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which finally leads to the serious decline of life quality in RA patients. Bone metabolism imbalance is the principal factor of bone destruction in RA, which is manifested by excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and inadequate osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Although current drugs alleviate the process of bone destruction to a certain extent, there are still many deficiencies. Recent studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) could effectively suppress bone destruction of RA. Some bioactive compounds from TCM have shown good effect on inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and promoting osteoblast proliferation. This article reviews the research progress of bioactive compounds exacted from TCM in inhibiting bone destruction of RA, so as to provide references for further clinical and scientific research.

baicalin group at 3-day intervals; concurrently, normal saline was injected
into rats in the negative control group. On the 21st day after orthodontic
treatment, the tooth movement distance and root resorption area ratio were
measured. Histomorphology changes were observed by hematoxylin and eosin
staining and immunohistochemistry. Results There was no significant difference in tooth movement distance between
groups. The root resorption area ratio was significantly lower in the
baicalin group than in the negative control group. Runx-2 expression was
significantly higher in the baicalin group than in the negative control
group, while tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression was significantly
lower in the baicalin group than in the negative control group. Conclusions Baicalin inhibits orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption by
enhancing the expression of Runx-2 and reducing the expression of TNF-α, but
does not affect tooth movement distance.

Osteoclast Multinucleation: Review of Current Literature. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21165685. [PMID: 32784443 PMCID: PMC7461040 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21165685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 08/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Multinucleation is a hallmark of osteoclast maturation. The unique and dynamic multinucleation process not only increases cell size but causes functional alterations through reconstruction of the cytoskeleton, creating the actin ring and ruffled border that enable bone resorption. Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying osteoclast multinucleation has advanced considerably in this century, especially since the identification of DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP as “master fusogens”. Regarding the molecules and pathways surrounding these STAMPs, however, only limited progress has been made due to the absence of their ligands. Various molecules and mechanisms other than the STAMPs are involved in osteoclast multinucleation. In addition, several preclinical studies have explored chemicals that may be able to target osteoclast multinucleation, which could enable us to control pathogenic bone metabolism more precisely. In this review, we will focus on recent discoveries regarding the STAMPs and other molecules involved in osteoclast multinucleation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is an important nuclear transcription factor in cells, involving in a series of processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. In this study, we explored the specific mechanism of NF-κB on the differentiation of osteoclasts. METHODS MicroRNAs (miRNAs) expression microarray data GSE105027 related to osteoarthritis was obtained to screen out the differentially expressed miRNA. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) was used to induce THP-1 cells to differentiate into macrophages, followed by induction to osteoclasts using macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). ELISA and RT-qPCR were conducted to examine IL-6 and IL-1β expression. The binding of NF-κB to the miR-1276 promoter region was demonstrated by ChIP assay, and targeting relationship between miR-1276 and MITF was verified by dual luciferase reporter assay. KK, iKBα, NF-kB, p-IKK, p-iKBα, p-NF-kB expression was analyzed by western blot. NF-κB and miR-1276 expression in osteoclasts was examined later. After gain- and less-of-function study, the effects on osteoclast differentiation were detected by TRAP-positive osteoclasts, TRAP activity, TRAP-5b content, F-Actin expression, as well as osteoclast differentiation marker genes expression. RESULTS NF-κB was activated in osteoclasts, and down-regulation of NF-κB inhibited osteoclast differentiation. Next, miR-1276 was downregulated in osteoclasts after differentiation from monocytes. Meanwhile, NF-κB decreased the expression of miR-1276 by binding to the miR-1276 promoter, thereby elevating MITF expression, thereby promoting osteoclast differentiation. CONCLUSION In summary, NF-κB promoted osteoclast differentiation through downregulating miR-1276 to upregulate MITF.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the late complications of diabetes, which seriously affects the lives of patients. Baicalin (BA) is a flavone glycoside that has been identified to improve renal function in patients with DN. The present study aimed to investigate the roles and mechanisms of BA in DN. For that purpose, podocytes were cultured for 48 h under conditions of high glucose (HG; 30 mM D-glucose) or normal glucose (NG; 5 mM D-glucose). Then, the cells were treated with different concentrations of BA (6.25, 12.5 and 25 µM) for 24 h. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined using an MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Protein and mRNA expression levels were analyzed using western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, respectively. BA treatment was identified to promote the viability of podocytes and suppress cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the results in the NG group, HG stimulation significantly decreased the viability of podocytes and increased the apoptotic rate, whereas BA treatment following HG stimulation increased the viability of podocytes and decreased the apoptotic rate. Moreover, the effect of BA was revealed to be associated with the sirtuin 1/NF-κB signaling pathway in DN. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that BA treatment may significantly decrease HG-induced podocyte apoptosis, which indicated that BA might be a promising agent for DN treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Baicalin mediates bone metabolism and has shown protective activity against periodontal tissue damage in a rat model of periodontitis. Therefore, we hypothesized that baicalin may inhibit the root resorption that occurs during orthodontic tooth movement and examined its effect on the histological changes in periodontal tissue that occur during tooth movement. METHODS First molars of rats were subjected to traction using excessive orthodontic force to produce a root resorption model. Rats in the baicalin group received baicalin for 3 weeks during tooth movement, and the amount of first molar movement on day 21 after the initiation of traction was measured by three-dimensional micro-computed tomography analysis. After tooth movement, tissue samples from the mesial and tension sides were collected, and successive horizontal sections were prepared and examined using hematoxylin-eosin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and immunohistochemical staining for the receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). The severity of root resorption was also determined by histological analysis. RESULTS There was no significant intergroup difference in tooth movement during the experimental exaggerated tooth movement. In comparison with the control group, the baicalin-treated group showed increased OPG expression, suppressed RANKL expression, and significantly fewer TRAP-positive cells in the first molars. The root resorption area was significantly smaller in the baicalin group. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with baicalin prevented root resorption without preventing tooth movement. Baicalin may be useful for the management of root resorption during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Objective To determine the relationship between maternal bone resorption and bone development in fetuses. Methods Female SD rats were injected with either fluorescent calcium indicator calcein alone or together with tetracycline 1 week before pregnancy, followed by fluorescence detection in fetal tibias 21 days post-treatment. Alendronate was subsequently administered to pregnant rats to inhibit maternal bone resorption, while maternal bone turnover and fetal bone development were both examined. Results The maternal fluorescent labeled calcium before pregnancy was found in the fetal tibia. This indicated that the calcium of maternal bones may be released into the maternal circulation through high bone resorption during pregnancy, thereby participating in the fetal bone development. Bone histomorphometry and serum biomarker results showed that Alendronate significantly inhibited maternal bone resorption in pregnant rats when compared to normal pregnant rats. Moreover, the body weight, bone mass, and bone length of the fetuses in the Alendronate group were significantly decreased; while no apparent abnormality in placental morphology was observed. The above results implied that when maternal bone resorption is suppressed, the development of the fetal bone shall also be suppressed. Conclusion Calcium in the maternal bone is released into the maternal circulation through bone resorption during pregnancy which represents an important material source in fetal bone development. Therefore, high bone turnover during pregnancy is essential for mammalian embryonic bone development.

Abstract
Baicalin (BAI), a sort of flavonoid monomer, acquires from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which was forcefully reported in diversified ailments due to the pleiotropic properties. But, the functions of BAI in osteoblast differentiation have not been addressed. The intentions of this study are to attest the influences of BAI in the differentiation of osteoblasts. MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts were exposed to BAI, and then cell viability, ALP activity, mineralization process, and Runx2 and Ocn expression were appraised through implementing CCK-8, p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), Alizarin red staining, western blot, and RT-qPCR assays. The microRNA-217 (miR-217) expression was evaluated in MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts after BAI disposition; meanwhile, the functions of miR-217 in BAI-administrated MC3T3-E1 cells were estimated after miR-217 inhibitor transfection. The impacts of BAI and miR-217 inhibition on Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways were probed to verify the involvements in BAI-regulated the differentiation of osteoblasts. BAI accelerated cell viability, osteoblast activity, and Runx2 and Ocn expression in MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts, and the phenomena were mediated via activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways. Elevation of miR-217 was observed in BAI-disposed MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts, and miR-217 repression annulled the functions of BAI in MC3T3-E1 cell viability and differentiation. Additionally, the activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways evoked by BAI were both restrained by repression of miR-217. These explorations uncovered that BAI augmented the differentiation of osteoblasts via activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways by ascending miR-217 expression.

Abstract
Hepatitis has become a major social, health, and economic problem worldwide. Herein, we tested the beneficial influence of baicalin, a flavonoid extracted from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, on human normal liver L-02 and THLE2 cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and possible molecular mechanisms. L-02 and THLE2 cell viability and apoptosis after LPS and/or baicalin treatment were tested using CCK-8 assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis kit, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to measure the MCP-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) expressions in L-02 and THLE2 cells. sh-TUG1 was transfected to knockdown TUG1. SB203580 was used as inhibitor of p38MAPK pathway, while SP600125 was used as inhibitor of JNK pathway. We discovered that LPS stimulation caused L-02 and THLE2 cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction. Baicalin relieved the L-02 and THLE2 cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction stimulated by LPS. Moreover, LPS lowered the TUG1 expression in L-02 cells, while baicalin promoted the TUG1 expression in L-02 and L-02 and THLE2 cells, as well as inactivated p38MAPK and JNK pathways in LPS-stimulated L-02 cells. Besides, knockdown of TUG1 activated p38MAPK and JNK pathways and promoted inflammatory cytokine expression in L-02 cells. In conclusion, this study further affirmed the beneficial influences of baicalin on LPS-stimulated human normal liver cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction. Baicalin relived liver cell inflammation stimulated by LPS might be via upregulating TUG1 and then inactivating p38MAPK and JNK pathways.

Abstract
Background Haemophilus parasuis (HPS) is the causative agent of Glässer’s disease, characterized by arthritis, fibrinous polyserositis and meningitis, and resulting in worldwide economic losses in the swine industry. Baicalin (BA), a commonly used traditional Chinese medication, has been shown to possess a series of activities, such as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, whether BA has anti-apoptotic effects following HPS infection is unclear. Here, we investigated the anti-apoptotic effects and mechanisms of BA in HPS-induced apoptosis via the protein kinase C (PKC)–mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in piglet’s mononuclear phagocytes (PMNP). Results Our data demonstrated that HPS could induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, arrest the cell cycle and promote apoptosis via the PKC–MAPK signaling pathway in PMNP. Moreover, when BA was administered, we observed a reduction in ROS production, suppression of cleavage of caspase-3 in inducing apoptosis, and inhibition of activation of the PKC–MAPK signaling pathway for down-regulating p-JNK, p-p38, p-ERK, p-PKC-α and PKC-δ in PMNP triggered by HPS. Conclusions Our data strongly suggest that BA can reverse the apoptosis initiated by HPS through regulating the PKC–MAPK signaling pathway, which represents a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of HPS infection.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OC) are critical cells responsible for many bone diseases such as osteoporosis. It is of great interest to identify agents that can regulate the activity of OC to treat osteolytic bone diseases. In this study, we found that baicalin exerted a two‐way regulatory effect on OC in a concentration‐dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. In detail, baicalin at a low concentration (below 1 μmol/L) enhanced OC differentiation and bone resorption, but baicalin at a high concentration (above 2 μmol/L) exhibited inhibitory effects on OC. We demonstrated that baicalin at low concentrations enhanced the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) (ERK) signalling pathway and activated c‐Fos and NFATc1 expression, and thus enhanced gene expression, OC differentiation and bone resorption. However, baicalin at higher levels not only suppressed ERK phosphorylation and c‐fos and NFATc1 expression, but also altered the expression of apoptosis‐related proteins, and therefore inhibiting OC function. This dual effect was further verified in an LPS‐induced mouse calvarial osteolysis model, evidenced by enhanced osteolysis at a lower concentration but reduced bone loss at a higher concentration. Overall, our findings indicate that baicalin exerts dose‐dependent effects on OC formation and function. Therefore, caution should be applied when using baicalin to treating OC‐related bone diseases.
