[PMID: 38495298 PMCID: PMC10940566 DOI: 10.1007/s10616-023-00605-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inflammation are critical players in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Evodiamine exerts functions in inhibiting inflammation and maintaining mitochondrial antioxidant functions. However, the biological functions of evodiamine and its related mechanisms in IDD progression remain unknown. The IDD-like conditions in vivo were stimulated via needle puncture. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, Safranin O/Fast Green staining and Alcian staining were performed to determine the degenerative status. The primary nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and then treated with tert-butyl peroxide (TBHP) to induce cellular senescence and oxidative stress. The cell viability was assessed by cell counting kit-8 assays. The mitochondria-derived ROS in NPCs was evaluated by MitoSOX staining. The mitochondrial membrane potential in NPCs was identified by JC-1 staining and flow cytometry. The expression of collagen II in NPCs was measured by immunofluorescence staining. The levels of mRNAs and proteins were measured by RT-qPCR and western blotting. The Nrf2 expression in rat nucleus pulposus tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry staining. Evodiamine alleviated TBHP-induced mitochondrial dysfunctions in NPCs. The enhancing effect of TBHP on the ECM degradation was reversed by evodiamine. The TBHP-stimulated inflammatory response was ameliorated by evodiamine. Evodiamine alleviated the IDD process in the puncture-induced rat model. Evodiamine promoted the activation of Nrf2 pathway and inactivated the MAPK pathway in NPCs. In conclusion, evodiamine ameliorates the progression of IDD by inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunctions, ECM degradation and inflammation via the Nrf2/HO-1 and MAPK pathways.

Ham JR, Lee MK. Anti‑osteoclastogenic effect of fermented mealworm extract by inhibiting RANKL‑induced NFATc1 action. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:130. [PMID: 38414787 PMCID: PMC10895579 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Augmented osteoclast activity and differentiation can lead to destructive bone diseases, such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Therefore, modulating osteoclastogenesis and differentiation may serve to be a possible strategy for treating such diseases. Tenebrio molitor larvae, also known as mealworms, are considered a good source of protein with nutritional value, digestibility, flavor and functional properties, such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects. However, the role of mealworms in osteoclastogenesis remains poorly understood. The present study therefore investigated the effects of fermented mealworm extract (FME) on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) whilst also attempting to understand the underlying mechanism, if any. The cells treated with RANKL were used as the negative control. To prepare FME, defatted mealworm powder was fermented with a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, and then extracted with fermented alcohol. Cell viability of BMMs isolated from 5-week-old Institute of Cancer Research mice was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Subsequently, the effects of FME on osteoclast differentiation were measured using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. In addition, expression of markers associated with osteoclast differentiation was assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) was assessed by western blotting. TRAP staining revealed that FME inhibited osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner (10-100 µg/ml) without causing cytotoxicity. Specifically, the formation of osteoclasts appear to have been suppressed by FME as indicated by the reduction in the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells observed. Furthermore, FME treatment significantly decreased the mRNA expression of c-Fos, whilst also significantly decreasing the expression of NFATc1 on both protein and mRNA levels. c-Fos and NFATc1 are transcription factors that can regulate osteoclast differentiation. FME treatment also reduced the expression of genes associated with osteoclast differentiation and function, including dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein, osteoclast associated Ig-like receptor, Cathepsin K and TRAP, compared with that in the control group. Subsequently, FME was found to effectively suppress RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation compared with that by the non-fermented mealworm extract. These findings suggest that FME may confer anti-osteoclastogenic effects, providing insights into its potential application in treatment of osteoporosis.

[PMID: 35621382 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ephrinB2-EphB4 signalling in alveolar bone remodelling on the tension side during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). MATERIALS AND METHODS An OTM model was established on sixty 8-week-old male Wistar rats. They were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The animals in the experimental group were administrated with subcutaneous injection of EphB4 inhibitor NVP-BHG712 every other day, whereas the control group received only the vehicle. Samples containing the maxillary first molar and the surrounding bone were collected after 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days of tooth movement. RESULTS EphrinB2-EphB4 signalling was actively expressed on the tension side during tooth movement. Micro-CT analysis showed the distance of tooth movement in the experimental group was significantly greater than that of the control group (P < .05) with significantly increased trabecular separation (Tb. Sp) and decreased trabecular number (Tb. N) from day 14 to day 21. The number of osteoclasts significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group after 3 and 7 days of tooth movement (P < .05). The expressions of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin (OPN) were significantly reduced by inhibition of EphB4 (P < .05). CONCLUSION The inhibition of EphB4 suppressed bone formation and enhanced bone resorption activities on the tension side of tooth movement. The ephrinB2-EphB4 signalling might play an important role in alveolar bone remodelling during OTM.

Anti-Osteoclast Effect of Exportin-1 Inhibitor Eltanexor on Osteoporosis Depends on Nuclear Accumulation of IκBα–NF-κB p65 Complex. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:896108. [PMID: 36110547 PMCID: PMC9468713 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.896108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis affects around 200 million people globally, with menopausal women accounting for the bulk of cases. In the occurrence and development of osteoporosis, a key role is played by osteoclasts. Excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption activity reduces bone mass and increases bone fragility, resulting in osteoporosis. Thus, considerable demand exists for designing effective osteoporosis treatments based on targeting osteoclasts. Eltanexor (Elt; KPT-8602) is a selective nuclear-export inhibitor that covalently binds to and blocks the function of the nuclear-export protein exportin-1 (XPO1), which controls the nucleus-to-cytoplasm transfer of certain critical proteins related to growth regulation and tumor suppression, such as p53, IκBα [nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitor α] and FOXO1; among these proteins, IκBα, a critical component of the NF-κB signaling pathway that primarily governs NF-κB activation and transcription. How Elt treatment affects osteoclasts remains poorly elucidated. Elt inhibited the growth and activity of RANKL-induced osteoclasts in vitro in a dose-dependent manner, and Elt exerted no cell-killing effect within the effective inhibitory concentration. Mechanistically, Elt was found to trap IκBα in the nucleus and thus protect IκBα from proteasome degradation, which resulted in the blocking of the translocation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 and the consequent inhibition of NF-κB activity. The suppression of NF-κB activity, in turn, inhibited the activity of two transcription factors (NFATc1 and c-Fos) essential for osteoclast formation and led to the downregulation of genes and proteins related to bone resorption. Our study thus provides a newly identified mechanism for targeting in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Inhibitory Effects of Rhaponticin on Osteoclast Formation and Resorption by Targeting RANKL-Induced NFATc1 and ROS Activity. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:645140. [PMID: 34630071 PMCID: PMC8495440 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.645140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The extravagant osteoclast formation and resorption is the main cause of osteoporosis. Inhibiting the hyperactive osteoclastic resorption is considered as an efficient treatment for osteoporosis. Rhaponticin (RH) is a small molecule that has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-fibrotic, and anti-diabetic activities. However, the influence of RH on osteoclasts differentiation and function is still unclear. To this end, an array of assays including receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) induced osteoclastogenesis, tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAcP) staining, immunofluorescence, and hydroxyapatite resorption were performed in this study. It was found that RH had significant anti-catabolic effects by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption without cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, the expression of NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) was found to be suppressed and antioxidant enzymes including catalase, superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD-2), and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) were enhanced following RH treatment, suggesting RH exhibited antioxidant activity by reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as enhancing the depletion of ROS. In addition, MAPKs, NF-κB, and intracellular Ca2+ oscillation pathways were significantly inhibited by RH. These changes led to the deactivation of osteoclast master transcriptional factor-nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), as examined by qPCR and Western blot assay, which led to the decreased expression of downstream integrin β3, c-Fos, cathepsin K, and Atp6v0d2. These results suggested that RH could effectively suppress RANKL-regulated osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Therefore, we propose that RH can represent a novel natural small molecule for the treatment of osteoporosis by inhibiting excessive osteoclast activity.

Mol Med 2021; 27:81. [PMID: 34294046 PMCID: PMC8296714 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-021-00341-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) disease caused by activating mutations of guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-stimulating activity polypeptide (GNAS) and is characterized by increased proliferative activity and disrupted osteogenesis of BMSCs. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the pathophysiologic features of BMSCs in FD remain unknown. This study aimed to identify and verify the roles of the CREB1-miR-181a-5p regulatory loop in FD pathophysiology. METHODS MicroRNA (miRNA) sequencing analysis was used to identify the possible miRNAs implicated in FD. The proliferation, apoptosis, and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as well as the osteoclast-induced phenotype, were measured and compared after exogenous miR-181a-5p transfection into FD BMSCs or miR-181a-5p inhibitor transfection into normal BMSCs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays were performed to verify the interactions between CREB1 and miR-181a-5p and their effects on the FD pathological phenotype. RESULTS Compared to normal BMSCs, FD BMSCs showed decreased miR-181a-5p levels and exhibited increased proliferative activity, decreased apoptotic capacity, and impaired osteogenesis. FD BMSCs also showed a stronger osteoclast activation effect. miR-181a-5p overexpression reversed the pathophysiologic features of FD BMSCs, whereas miR-181a-5p suppression induced an FD-like phenotype in normal BMSCs. Mechanistically, miR-181a-5p was the downstream target of CREB1, and CREB1 was posttranscriptionally regulated by miR-181a-5p. CONCLUSIONS Our study identifies that the interaction loop between CREB1 and miR-181a-5p plays a crucial role in regulating the pathophysiologic features of FD BMSCs. MiR-181a-5p may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of FD.

J Pharmacol Sci 2021; 146:206-215. [PMID: 34116734 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphs.2021.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of dencichine on osteoclastogenesis in vivo and in vitro. METHODS RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis were treated with different concentrations of dencichine. Pit forming assays were applied to evaluate the degree of bone resorption. Osteoclastogenic markers were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. Micro CT was conducted to investigate the effects of dencichine on osteoclastogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. RESULTS Dencichine suppressed osteoclastogenesis through the inhibition of phosphorylation of p65, p50 (NF-κB pathway), p38, ERK and JNK (MAPKs pathway) in vitro. Furthermore, dencichine inhibited the function of osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the expression levels of the nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) and osteoclastogenesis markers were decreased by dencichine, including MMP-9, Cathepsin K (CTSK), Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP), C-FOS, dendritic cell specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP). In vivo data proved that dencichine alleviated ovariectomy-induced bone loss and osteoclastogenesis in mice. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that dencichine alleviates OVX-induced bone loss in mice and inhibits RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis via inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK pathways in vitro, suggesting that dencichine might serve as a promising candidate for treatment of bone loss diseases, including PMOP and rheumatoid arthritis.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2021; 199:1864-1876. [PMID: 32676940 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-020-02286-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Numerous experiments in vitro and in vivo have shown that an appropriate increase intake of silicon can facilitate the synthesis of collagen and its stabilization and promote the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts. In this study, we examined whether ortho-silicic acid restrains the differentiation of osteoclast through the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) signaling pathway by investigating its effect in vitro and in vivo. Bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cells were isolated and cultured with or without ortho-silicic acid, and then TRAP staining and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the differentiation of osteoclast. The RANKL-induced osteoclast marker gene and protein expression including c-Fos, nuclear factor of activated T cells cl (NFATcl), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), nuclear factor kappa B P50 (NF-κB P50), NF-κB P52, RANK, integrin β3, cathepsin K (CTSK), DC-STAMP, and TRAP were quantitatively detected by western blot and RT-PCR. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were injected with ortho-silicic acid (OVX+Si group) and normal saline (OVX group), and sham-operated rats were injected with normal saline (Sham group). And micro-CT, H&E, and TRAP staining, ELISA, and western blot were performed. Ortho-silicic acid could inhibit the differentiation of osteoclast, and the marker genes and proteins were decreased. The OVX-induced bone loss could be reversed by ortho-silicic acid. Our finding demonstrated that ortho-silicic acid suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and has potential value as a therapeutic agent for OVX-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) play an important role in osteoporosis, a disease that is mainly characterized by bone loss. In our research, we aimed to identify novel approach for regulating osteoclastogenesis and thereby treating osteoporosis. Previous studies have set a precedent for screening traditional Chinese herbal extracts for effective inhibitors. Peiminine is an alkaloid extracted from the bulb of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq that reportedly has anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the potential inhibitory effect of peiminine on OC differentiation was investigated via a series of experiments. According to the results, peiminine downregulated the levels of specific genes and proteins in vitro and consequently suppressed OC differentiation and function. Based on these findings, we further investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms and identified the NF-κB and ERK1/2 signaling pathways as potential targets of peiminine. In vivo, peiminine alleviated bone loss in an ovariectomized mouse model.

Abstract
The mammalian skeleton is a metabolically active organ that continuously undergoes bone remodeling, a process of tightly coupled bone resorption and formation throughout life. Recent studies have expanded our knowledge about the interactions between cells within bone marrow in bone remodeling. Macrophages resident in bone (BMMs) can regulate bone metabolism via secreting numbers of cytokines and exosomes. This review summarizes the current understanding of factors, exosomes, and hormones that involved in the communications between BMMs and other bone cells including mensenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and so on. We also discuss the role of BMMs and potential therapeutic approaches targeting BMMs in bone remodeling related diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteosarcoma.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Evodia rutaecarpa, a well-known herb medicine in China, is extensively applied in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The plant has the effects of dispersing cold and relieving pain, arresting vomiting, and helping Yang and stopping diarrhea. Modern research demonstrates that evodiamine, the main component of Evodia rutaecarpa, is the material basis for its efficacy. AIMS OF THE REVIEW This paper is primarily addressed to summarize the current studies on evodiamine. The progress in research on the pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, preparation researches and clinical application are reviewed. Moreover, outlooks and directions for possible future studies concerning it are also discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The information of this systematic review was conducted with resources of multiple literature databases including PubMed, Google scholar, Web of Science and Wiley Online Library and so on, with employing a combination of keywords including "pharmacology", "toxicology", "pharmacokinetics" and "clinical application", etc. RESULTS: As the main component of Evodia rutaecarpa, evodiamine shows considerable pharmacological activities, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, heart protection and metabolic disease regulation. However, it is also found that it has significant hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, thereby it should be monitored in clinical. In addition, available data demonstrate that the evodiamine has a needy solubility in aqueous medium. Scientific and reasonable pharmaceutical strategies should be introduced to improve the above defects. Meanwhile, more efforts should be made to develop novel efficient and low toxic derivatives. CONCLUSIONS This review summarizes the results from current studies of evodiamine, which is one of the valuable medicinal ingredients from Evodia rutaecarpa. With the assistance of relevant pharmacological investigation, some conventional application and problems in pharmaceutical field have been researched in recent years. In addition, unresolved issues include toxic mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, novel pharmaceutical researches and relationship between residues and intestinal environment, which are still being explored and excavate before achieving integration into clinical practice.

Abstract
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (PMOP) is oestrogen withdrawal characterized of much production and activation by osteoclast in the elderly female. Cytisine is a quinolizidine alkaloid that comes from seeds or other plants of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family. Cytisine has been shown several potential pharmacological functions. However, its effects on PMOP remain unknown. This study designed to explore whether Cytisine is able to suppress RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and prevent the bone loss induced by oestrogen deficiency in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. In this study, we investigated the effect of Cytisine on RAW 264.7 cells and bone marrow monocytes (BMMs) derived osteoclast culture system in vitro and observed the effect of Cytisine on ovariectomized (OVX) mice model to imitate postmenopausal osteoporosis in vivo. We found that Cytisine inhibited F-actin ring formation and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining in dose-dependent ways, as well as bone resorption by pit formation assays. For molecular mechanism, Cytisine suppressed RANK-related trigger RANKL by phosphorylation JNK/ERK/p38-MAPK, IκBα/p65-NF-κB, and PI3K/AKT axis and significantly inhibited these signalling pathways. However, the suppression of PI3K-AKT-NFATc1 axis was rescued by AKT activator SC79. Meanwhile, Cytisine inhibited RANKL-induced RANK-TRAF6 association and RANKL-related gene and protein markers such as NFATc1, Cathepsin K, MMP-9 and TRAP. Our study indicated that Cytisine could suppress bone loss in OVX mouse through inhibited osteoclastogenesis. All data provide the evidence that Cytisine may be a promising agent in the treatment of osteoclast-related diseases such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Angelica sinensis (AS; Dang Gui), a traditional Chinese herb, has for centuries been used for the treatment of bone diseases, including osteoporosis and osteonecrosis. However, the effective ingredient and underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identified guaiacol as the active component of AS by two‐dimensional cell membrane chromatography/C18 column/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (2D CMC/C18 column/TOFMS). Guaiacol suppressed osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast function in bone marrow monocytes (BMMCs) and RAW264.7 cells in vitro in a dose‐dependent manner. Co‐immunoprecipitation indicated that guaiacol blocked RANK‐TRAF6 association and RANK‐C‐Src association. Moreover, guaiacol prevented phosphorylation of p65, p50, IκB (NF‐κB pathway), ERK, JNK, c‐fos, p38 (MAPK pathway) and Akt (AKT pathway), and reduced the expression levels of Cathepsin K, CTR, MMP‐9 and TRAP. Guaiacol also suppressed the expression of nuclear factor of activated T‐cells cytoplasmic 1(NFATc1) and the RANKL‐induced Ca2+ oscillation. In vivo, it ameliorated ovariectomy‐induced bone loss by suppressing excessive osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings suggest that guaiacol inhibits RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis by blocking the interactions of RANK with TRAF6 and C‐Src, and by suppressing the NF‐κB, MAPK and AKT signalling pathways. Therefore, this compound shows therapeutic potential for osteoclastogenesis‐related bone diseases, including postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osthole (OST), a derivative of Fructus Cnidii, has been proved to have potential anti‐osteoporosis effects in our recent studies. However, its pharmacological effects are limited in the human body because of poor solubility and bioavailability. Under the guidance of the classical theory of Chinese medicine, Osthole‐loaded N‐octyl‐O‐sulfonyl chitosan micelles (NSC‐OST), which has not previously been reported in the literature, was synthesized in order to overcome the defects and obtain better efficacy. In this study, we found that NSC‐OST inhibited on the formation and resorption activity of osteoclasts through using a bone marrow macrophage (BMM)‐derived osteoclast culture system in vitro, rather than affecting the viability of cells. We also found that NSC‐OST inhibited osteoclast formation, hydroxyapatite resorption and RANKL‐induced osteoclast marker protein expression. In terms of mechanism, NSC‐OST suppressed the NFATc1 transcriptional activity and the activation of NF‐κB signalling pathway. In vivo, ovariectomized (OVX) rat models were established for further research. We found that NSC‐OST can attenuate bone loss in OVX rats through inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Consistent with our hypothesis, NSC‐OST is more effective than OST in parts of the results. Taken together, our findings suggest that NSC‐OST can suppress RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy‐induced bone loss in rats and could be considered a safe and more effective anti‐osteoporosis drug than OST.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal degenerative disease characterised by abnormal bone turnover with scant bone formation and overabundant bone resorption. The present approach was intended to address the potency of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), chitosan/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (nCh/HA) and silver/hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nAg/HA) to modulate bone turnover deviation in primary osteoporosis induced in the experimental model. Characterisation techniques such as TEM, zeta-potential, FT-IR and XRD were used to assess the morphology, the physical as well as the chemical features of the prepared nanostructures. The in vivo experiment was conducted on forty-eight adult female rats, randomised into 6 groups (8 rats/group), (1) gonad-intact, (2) osteoporotic group, (3) osteoporotic + nHA, (4) osteoporotic + nCh/HA, (5) osteoporotic + nAg/HA and (6) osteoporotic + alendronate (ALN). After three months of treatment, serum sclerostin (SOST), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) levels were quantified using ELISA. Femur bone receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) and cathepsin K (CtsK) mRNA levels were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. Moreover, alizarin red S staining was applied to determine the mineralisation intensity of femur bone. Findings in the present study indicated that treatment with nHA, nCh/HA or nAg/HA leads to significant repression of serum SOST, BALP and BSP levels parallel to a significant down-regulation of RANKL and CtsK gene expression levels. On the other side, significant enhancement in the calcification intensity of femur bone has been noticed. The outcomes of this experimental setting ascertained the potentiality of nHA, nCh/HA and nAg/HA as promising nanomaterials in attenuating the excessive bone turnover in the primary osteoporotic rat model. The mechanisms behind the efficacy of the investigated nanostructures involved the obstacle of serum and tissue indices of bone resorption besides the strengthening of bone mineralisation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by disturbance in the dynamic balance of bone remodelling, a physiological process, vital for maintenance of healthy bone tissue in adult humans. In this process, a new bone is formed by osteoblasts and the pre‐existing bone matrix is resorbed by osteoclasts. Imperatorin, a widely available and inexpensive plant extract with antioxidative and apoptotic effects, is reported to treat osteoporosis. However, the underlying mechanism and specific effects on bone metabolism have not been elucidated. In this study, we used rat bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells and found that imperatorin can activate RUNX2, COL1A1 and osteocalcin by promoting the Ser9 phosphorylation of GSK3β and entry of β‐catenin into the nucleus. Imperatorin also enhanced the production of phospho‐AKT (Ser473), an upstream factor that promotes the Ser9 phosphorylation of GSK3β. We used ipatasertib, a pan‐AKT inhibitor, to inhibit the osteogenic effect of imperatorin, and found that imperatorin promotes osteogenesis via AKT/GSK3β/β‐catenin pathway. Next, we used rat bone marrow‐derived monocytes, to check whether imperatorin inhibits osteoclast differentiation via AKT/GSK3β/β‐catenin pathway. Further, we removed the bilateral ovaries of rats to establish an osteoporotic model. Intragastric administration of imperatorin promoted osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclast in vivo. Our experiments showed that imperatorin is a potential drug for osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with progressive bone loss. The bone loss is associated with an imbalance between bone resorption via osteoclasts and bone formation via osteoblasts. Other cells including T cells, B cells, macrophages, and osteocytes are also involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Different cytokines from activated macrophages can regulate or stimulate the development of osteoclastogenesis-associated bone loss. The fusion of macrophages can form multinucleated osteoclasts and, thus, cause bone resorption via the expression of IL-4 and IL-13. Different cytokines, endocrines, and chemokines are also expressed that may affect the presentation of macrophages in osteoporosis. Macrophages have an effect on bone formation during fracture-associated bone repair. However, activated macrophages may secrete proinflammatory cytokines that induce bone loss by osteoclastogenesis, and are associated with the activation of bone resorption. Targeting activated macrophages at an appropriate stage may help inhibit or slow the progression of bone loss in patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a progressive bone disease characterized by the over‐production and activation of osteoclasts in elderly women. In our study, we investigated the anti‐osteoclastogenic effect of evodiamine (EVO) in vivo and in vitro, as well as the underlying mechanism. By using an in vitro bone marrow macrophage (BMM)‐derived osteoclast culture system, we found that EVO inhibited osteoclast formation, hydroxyapatite resorption and receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL)‐induced osteoclast marker gene and protein expression. Mechanistically, we found that EVO inhibited the degradation and RANKL‐induced transcriptional activity of IκBα. RANKL‐induced Ca2+ oscillations were also abrogated by EVO. In vivo, an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model was established to mimic PMO, and OVX mice received oral administration of either EVO (10 mg/kg) or saline every other day. We found that EVO can attenuate bone loss in OVX mice by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings suggest that EVO suppresses RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis through NF‐κB and calcium signalling pathways and has potential value as a therapeutic agent for PMO.
