[PMID: 35265601 PMCID: PMC8899218 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.825046] [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: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation and inflammation of synovium, the specialized connective tissue that envelops the diarthrodial joint. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is often found in OA patients, with nearly double the incidence of arthritis reported in patients with diabetes (52%) than those without it (27%). The correlation between OA and DM has been attributed to similar risk factors, namely increasing age and joint loading due to obesity. However, a potential causative link is not well understood due to comorbidities involved with treating diabetic patients, such as high infection rates and poor healing response caused by hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperglycemic and insulin culture conditions on synovium properties. It was hypothesized that modeling hyperglycemia-induced insulin resistance in synovium would provide novel insights of OA pathogenesis in DM patients. To simulate DM in the synovial joint, healthy synovium was preconditioned in either euglycemic (EG) or hyperglycemic (HG) glucose concentrations with insulin in order to induce the biological response of the diseased phenotype. Synovium biochemical composition was evaluated to determine ECM remodeling under hyperglycemic culture conditions. Concurrent changes in AKT phosphorylation, a signaling pathway implicated in insulin resistance, were measured along with gene expression data for insulin receptors, glucose transporters, and specific glycolysis markers involved in glucose regulation. Since fluid shear stress arising during joint articulation is a relevant upstream stimulus for fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), the predominant cell type in synovium, FLS mechanotransduction was evaluated via intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i). Incidence and length of primary cilia, a critical effector of cell mechanosensing, were measured as potential mechanisms to support differences in [Ca2+]i responses. Hyperglycemic culture conditions decreased collagen and GAG content compared to EG groups, while insulin recovered ECM constituents. FLS mechanosensitivity was significantly greater in EG and insulin conditions compared to HG and non-insulin treated groups. Hyperglycemic treatment led to decreased incidence and length of primary cilia and decreased AKT phosphorylation, providing possible links to the mechanosensing response and suggesting a potential correlation between glycemic culture conditions, diabetic insulin resistance, and OA development.

NF-κB activation impedes the transdifferentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes at the growth plate of mouse embryos in diabetic pregnancy. J Orthop Translat 2021; 31:52-61. [PMID: 34934622 PMCID: PMC8648796 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2021.10.009] [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: 07/22/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus could cause numerous complications and health problems including abnormality of endochondral bone formation during embryogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms still remain obscure. METHODS Streptozotoci (STZ) was injected to induce pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) mouse model. The femurs of E18.5 mouse embryos from control and PGDM groups were harvested. Morphological staining was implemented to determine the abnormality of the bone development. The expressions of the key genes participating in osteogenesis (e.g., Sox9, Runx2, and Osterix), the NF-κB signaling molecules (e.g., P50, P65, IκBα), and the corresponding regulatory factors (e.g., Bmp2, phospho-p38) were evaluated by immunofluorescence, quantitative PCR and western blot. Finally, in vitro chondrocyte differentiation model was employed to verify the role of NF-κB on the expressions of chondro-osteogenic markers. RESULTS Alcian blue/alizarin red double staining and H&E staining demonstrated the restriction of skeletal development and relatively extended hypertrophic zone at growth plate in E18.5 STZ-induced diabetic mouse embryos compared to the control. Immunofluorescent staining and qPCR showed that Sox9 expression increased, while Runx2 and Osterix expressions decreased in the growth plate of the offspring of PGDM mice. Immunofluorescence of P65 manifested the activation of NF-κB signaling in growth plate in PGDM mouse embryos. Furthermore, the relatively extended hypertrophic zone was also observed in the growth plate of the NF-κB-activated transgenic mice, as well as the activated p65 up-regulated the expression of Bmp2 and p-p38. In ATDC5 cells, we could observe the high glucose up-regulated the P50 and P65 expressions and down-regulated IκBα expression, but the high glucose-activated NF-κB signaling could be reversed by addition of Bay (inhibitor of NF-κB signaling). The expression changes of Bmp2, Sox9 and Runx2 in presence of high glucose were resumed too. CONCLUSION Our data revealed that NF-κB signaling was involved in mediation effects of dysfunctional trans-differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes in the embryonic growth plate induced by maternal diabetic mellitus.

Swimming Training Does Not Affect the Recovery of Femoral Midshaft Structural and Mechanical Properties in Growing Diabetic Rats Treated with Insulin. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11080786. [PMID: 34440530 PMCID: PMC8398667 DOI: 10.3390/life11080786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The effects of swimming training associated with insulin treatment on the cortical bone health in young rats with severe type 1 diabetes remain unclear, although there is evidence of such effects on the cancellous bone. This study examined the effects of swimming training combined with insulin therapy on the femoral midshaft structural and mechanical properties in growing rats with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n = 10): control sedentary, control exercise, diabetic sedentary, diabetic exercise, diabetic sedentary plus insulin and diabetic exercise plus insulin. Diabetic rats received an injection (60 mg/kg body weight) of streptozotocin (STZ). Exercised animals underwent a swimming program for eight weeks. Results: Diabetes induced by STZ decreased the bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD), and cortical thickness and maximum load and tenacity in the femoral midshaft. Insulin treatment partially counteracted the damages induced by diabetes on BMC, BMD and cortical thickness and tenacity. Swimming training did not affect the femoral structural and mechanical properties in diabetic rats. The combination of treatments did not potentiate the insulin effects. In conclusion, swimming training does not affect the benefits of insulin treatment on the femoral midshaft structural and mechanical properties in growing rats with severe type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if locally applied insulin has a dose-responsive effect on posterolateral lumbar fusion. Adult male New Zealand White rabbits underwent posterolateral intertransverse spinal fusions (PLFs) at L5-L6 using suboptimal amounts of autograft. Fusion sites were treated with collagen sponge soaked in saline (control, n = 11), or with insulin at low (5 or 10 units, n = 13), mid (20 units, n = 11), and high (40 units, n = 11) doses. Rabbits were euthanized at 6 weeks. The L5-L6 spine segment underwent manual palpation and radiographic evaluation performed by two fellowship trained spine surgeons blinded to treatment. Differences between groups were evaluated by analysis of variance on ranks followed by post-hoc Dunn's tests. Forty-three rabbits were euthanized at the planned 6 weeks endpoint, while three died or were euthanized prior to the endpoint. Radiographic evaluation found bilateral solid fusion in 10%, 31%, 60%, and 60% of the rabbits from the control and low, mid, and high-dose insulin-treated groups, respectively (p < 0.05). As per manual palpation, 7 of 10 rabbits in the mid-dose insulin group were fused as compared to 1 of 10 rabbits in the control group (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that insulin enhanced the effectiveness of autograft to increase fusion success in the rabbit PLF model. The study indicates that insulin or insulin-mimetic compounds can be used to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetics are at increased risk for fracture, and experience severely impaired skeletal healing characterized by delayed union or nonunion of the bone. The periosteum harbors osteochondral progenitors that can differentiate into chondrocytes and osteoblasts, and this connective tissue layer is required for efficient fracture healing. While bone marrow-derived stromal cells have been studied extensively in the context of diabetic skeletal repair and osteogenesis, the effect of diabetes on the periosteum and its ability to contribute to bone regeneration has not yet been explicitly evaluated. Within this study, we utilized an established murine model of type I diabetes to evaluate periosteal cell differentiation capacity, proliferation, and availability under the effect of a diabetic environment. Periosteal cells from diabetic mice were deficient in osteogenic differentiation ability in vitro, and diabetic mice had reduced periosteal populations of mesenchymal progenitors with a corresponding reduction in proliferation capacity following injury. Additionally, fracture callus mineralization and mature osteoblast activity during periosteum-mediated healing was impaired in diabetic mice compared to controls. We propose that the effect of diabetes on periosteal progenitors and their ability to aid in skeletal repair directly impairs fracture healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test whether swimming training benefits femoral neck strength in young diabetic rats under insulin therapy. METHODS A total of 60 male Wistar rats (age: 40 days) were divided equally into the following six groups: control sedentary, control exercise, diabetic sedentary, diabetic exercise, diabetic sedentary plus insulin and diabetic exercise plus insulin. Diabetes was induced with a unique intraperitoneal injection (60 mg/kg body weight) of streptozotocin. Seven days after the injection and after 12 hours of fasting, the animals with blood glucose levels ≥300 mg/dL were considered diabetic. Seven days after the induction of diabetes, the animals in the exercise groups were subjected to progressive swimming training (final week: 90 min/day; 5 days/week; 5% load) for eight weeks. The animals in the insulin groups received a daily dose of insulin (2-4 U/day) for the same period. RESULTS Severe streptozotocin-induced diabetes reduced the structural properties of the femoral neck (trabecular bone volume, trabecular thickness and collagen fiber content). The femoral neck mechanical properties (maximum load and tenacity) were also impaired in the diabetic rats. Insulin therapy partially reversed the damage induced by diabetes on the structural properties of the bone and mitigated the reductions in the mechanical properties of the bone. The combination of therapies further increased the femoral neck trabecular bone volume (∼30%), trabecular thickness (∼24%), collagen type I (∼19%) and type III (∼13%) fiber contents, maximum load (∼25%) and tenacity (∼14%). CONCLUSIONS Eight weeks of swimming training potentiates the recovery of femoral neck strength in young rats with severe streptozotocin-induced diabetes under insulin therapy.

Abstract
Glucose is the major energy supply and a critical metabolite for most cells and is especially important when cell is differentiating. High or low concentrations of glucose enhances or inhibits the osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation of cell via the insulin, transforming growth factor‐β and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ pathways, among others. New evidence implicates the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway as a mediator of crosstalk between glucose flux, cellular signalling and epigenetic regulation of cell differentiation. Extracellular glucose flux alters intracellular O‐GlcNAcylation levels through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. Signalling molecules that are important for cell differentiation, including protein kinase C, extracellular signal‐regulated kinase, Runx2, CCAAT/enhancer‐binding proteins, are modified by O‐GlcNAcylation. Thus, O‐GlcNAcylation markedly alters cell fate during differentiation via the post‐transcriptional modification of proteins. Furthermore, O‐GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation show complex interactions during cell differentiation: they can either non‐competitively occupy different sites on a substrate or competitively occupy a single site or proximal sites. Therefore, the influence of glucose on cell differentiation via O‐GlcNAcylation offers a potential target for controlling tissue homoeostasis and regeneration in ageing and disease. Here, we review recent progress establishing an emerging relationship among glucose concentration, O‐GlcNAcylation levels and cell differentiation.

Abstract
The advent of improved glucose control with insulin and oral medications has allowed for the diabetic population to live longer and healthier lives. Unfortunately diabetes remains a worldwide epidemic with multiple health implications. Specifically, its affects upon fracture healing have been well studied and shown to have negative effects on bone mineral density, biomechanical integrity, and fracture healing. Multiple animal models have been used for research purposes to gain further insight into the effects and potential treatments of this disease process. The diabetic BB Wistar rat is one model that replicates a close homology to human type-1 diabetes and has been used as a fracture model to study the effects of diabetes on bone integrity and healing. In particular, the effects of tight glucose control, ultrasound therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and allograft bone incorporation have been studied extensively. We present a review of the literature using the BB Wistar rat to elucidate the implications of diabetes on fracture healing.

Abstract
The murine mesenchymal cell line, C3H10T1/2 in micromass culture undergoes chondrogenic differentiation with the addition of BMP-2. This study compares the use of BMP-2 vs. insulin, transferrin, and sodium selenite (ITS) to create a chondrogenic micromass cell culture system that models cartilage calcification in the presence of 4mM inorganic phosphate. BMP-2 treated cultures showed more intense alcian blue staining for proteoglycans than ITS treated cultures at early time points. Both ITS and BMP-2 treated cultures showed similar mineral deposition in cultures treated with 4mM phosphate via von Kossa staining, however FTIR spectroscopy of cultures showed different matrix properties. ITS treated cultures produced matrix that more closely resembled mouse calcified cartilage by FTIR analysis. (45)Ca uptake curves showed delayed onset of mineralization in cultures treated with BMP-2, however they had an increased rate of mineralization (initial slope of (45)Ca uptake curve) when compared to the cultures treated with ITS. Immunohistochemistry showed the presence of both collagens type I and type II in BMP-2 and ITS treated control (1mM inorganic phosphate) and mineralizing cultures. BMP-2 treated mineralizing cultures displayed more intense staining for collagen type II than all other cultures. Collagen type X staining was detected at Day 9 only in mineralizing cultures treated with ITS. Western blotting of Day 9 cultures confirmed the presence of collagen type X in the mineralizing ITS cultures, and also showed very small amounts of collagen type X in BMP-2 treated cultures and control ITS cultures. By Day 16 all cultures stained positive for collagen type X. These data suggest that BMP-2 induces a more chondrogenic phenotype, while ITS treatment favors maturation and hypertrophy of the chondrocytes in the murine micromass cultures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcome and complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, and to identify diabetes-related risk factors for negative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS 222 primary TKAs in patients with diabetes were evaluated using Knee Society scores and Hospital for Special Surgery score. Postoperative complications were reviewed retrospectively. The mean follow-up was 53.2 months. The effect of diabetes-related factors and comparison with a matched control group were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Significant improvements were noted in all the scores after TKA (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in clinical sores between the diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In multivariate analysis associating age, gender and body mass index with pain and knee score at the latest follow-up, the average knee scores in normal and overweight group were found to be significantly higher than those in the obese group. The diabetic patients had an increased overall incidence of postoperative complications (17.6%) compared with the control group (8.1%) (p < 0.05). Particularly, the rate of wound complications such as skin necrosis, bulla formation or erythema with drainage was higher in the diabetic group (p < 0.05). Diabetes-related factors did not influence the incidence of complications. Associated diseases were the only significant risk factors correlated with wound complications and meniscal bearing dislodgement. CONCLUSION Patients with diabetes can benefit from TKA, even though diabetic patients are at an increased risk for overall postoperative and wound complications. Preoperative factors such as obesity and associated diseases may adversely affect the clinical outcome of TKA in diabetic patients.

Abstract
We report the kinetic characterization of an ecto-nucleosidetriphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 from rat osseous plate membranes in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, which arises during ectopic mineralization twenty days after a subcutaneous implantation of demineralized bone matrix, Insulin deficiency decreased the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase activity from 1293.1 +/- 39.8 (control rats) to 556.0 +/- 8.2 nmol Pi/(min mg). Two families of ATP hydrolyzing sites showed cooperative effects with specific activities of 256.2 +/- 7.7 nmol Pi/(min mg) and 299.8 +/- 8.9 nmol Pi/(min mg), and studies on the stimulation of the enzyme by magnesium and calcium ions showed that the decrease in enzyme activity results from changes in the affinity of the enzyme for these ions. To our knowledge this is the first study associating the effects of type I diabetes with an ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase activity from rat osseous plate membranes.

Abstract
Insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has been shown to alter the properties of bone and impair bone repair in both humans and animals. The objective of this study was the detailed histomorphometric evaluation of the influence of the diabetic metabolic state on bone formation and remodeling during bone defect healing depending on the defect size in spontaneously diabetic BB/O(ttawa)K(arlsburg) rats, a rat strain that represents a close homology to IDDM in man. Based on blood-glucose values at the time of surgery, postoperative blood-glucose course, and postoperative insulin requirements, 80 spontaneously diabetic BB/OK rats were divided into groups with well-compensated or poorly compensated metabolic state. Forty LEW.1A rats served as normoglycemic controls. Using a Kirschner wire, bone defects of different sizes were created proximal to the knee joint space in both femora. Ten animals from each group were killed on postoperative days 7, 14, 24, and 42, and specimens were processed undecalcified for quantitative bone histomorphometry. In terms of bone histomorphometry, our study did not show any differences in bone defect healing between the groups where the defect size was 0.4 mm. Larger bone defects (0.8 mm) only showed significant differences in the structural calculations after the 24th postoperative day exclusively in poorly compensated diabetic rats compared to well-compensated diabetic and control rats (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In bone defect sizes more than 1.2 mm, severe mineralization disorders occurred within the first 14 days exclusively in rats with poorly compensated diabetic metabolic state with a highly significant (P < 0.001) or significant (P < 0.01) decrease of all fluorochrome-based parameters of mineralization, apposition, formation, and timing of mineralization in comparison to spontaneously diabetic rats with well-compensated diabetic metabolic state and control rats. These results demonstrate that the bone repair of minor bone defects (0.4 mm) is independent of the diabetic metabolic state in spontaneously diabetic BB/OK rats. In larger bone defects (more than 0.8 mm), the bone defect healing in spontaneously diabetic BB/OK rats is impaired exclusively in poorly compensated diabetic metabolic states. This study suggests that strictly controlled insulin treatment resulting in a well-compensated diabetic metabolic state will ameliorate the impaired histomorphometric parameters of IDDM bone defect healing.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with low bone formation. In this study we investigate the effect of additional or reduced mechanical loading on indices of bone formation and resorption, bone mass, and biomechanical properties in spontaneously diabetic BB rats. Female diabetic (mean age 13 weeks) and age-matched control rats were each allocated to three experimental groups: no-intervention; supervised running exercise program (Ex); and unloading induced by unilateral sciatic neurectomy (USN). The study period was 8 weeks. We measured biochemical parameters of bone formation (plasma osteocalcin) and resorption (urinary deoxypyridinoline [Dpd]); bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at middiaphyseal and metaphyseal regions of the femur; histomorphometry of the proximal tibial metaphysis (PTM); and biomechanical properties of the femur (neck, diaphysis, and metaphysis) and lumbar vertebra (L-5). In nondiabetic rats, Ex did not affect parameters of bone formation/resorption and BMD, and had little effect on biomechanical properties. USN increased Dpd excretion, whereas there was a decreased trabecular bone formation rate (BFR) on morphometry of PTM in both paralyzed and intact limbs. Compared with intact limbs, paralyzed limbs of USN rats showed decreased trabecular bone volume at the PTM, and decreased BMD and biomechanical properties at the distal femoral metaphysis (DFM) and, to a lesser extent, femoral neck. Diabetic rats of the three experimental groups had low plasma osteocalcin levels and Dpd excretion, as well as low BFR on morphometry. The BMD and biomechanical properties of both femur and L-5 were unchanged in diabetic rats. Diabetic Ex rats, however, showed a lower maximum load and stress at DFM than control Ex rats. Diabetic USN rats showed no increase in Dpd excretion; their paralyzed limbs showed decreased maximum load at DFM, but there was no significant decrease in trabecular bone volume at PTM or BMD at DFM. Thus, the running exercise does not affect low bone formation in diabetic rats; however, trabecular bone loss caused by disuse is less pronounced in diabetic rats, probably as a result of low bone resorption.

Abstract
Two different lines of osteoblast-like cells were used to investigate the effect of advanced glycation end-products of bovine serum albumin on cell proliferation and differentiation. These parameters were found to be both dose- and time-dependent. Cell proliferation remained unchanged after a 24 h incubation period, it increased after intermediate periods of incubation with advanced glycation end-products, but was found to be depressed after several days incubation. Cellular alkaline phosphatase activity followed a similar pattern: an initial increase induced by advanced glycation end-products was generally followed, after relatively long incubation periods, by a slight but significant decrease in this parameter. 45Ca2+ uptake was only significantly inhibited by advanced glycation end-products after 24 h incubation. These results suggest that advanced glycation end-products directly regulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in a dose and time dependent manner.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of diabetic osteopenia is unclear. The markers of bone metabolism may show some changes in diabetic patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of glycemic control on serum osteocalcin level and urinary hydroxyproline excretion and the relations of these markers to duration of diabetes, C-peptide status, and body mass index. Twenty-seven men with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM) (HbA1 > 9%, fasting plasma glucose > 7.8 mmol/liter) between ages 25 and 60 years (means +/- SD 46.6 +/- 10.4) were included in the study. Duration of diabetes was 5.8 +/- 4.7 years, body mass index (BMI) was 25 +/- 3.5 kg/m2, and fasting C-peptide was 2.33 (1.05-3.21) micrograms/liter. None of the patients had a disease or were treated with drugs that would interfere with calcium or phosphate metabolism and/or bone structure. They were free from chronic diabetic complications. Of these patients, 11 were lost to follow-up before metabolic control was achieved. The remaining 16 patients obtained good glycemic control (HbA1 < 8.3%, fasting plasma glucose < 7.8 mmol/liter) and completed the study. Serum osteocalcin level and urinary hydroxyproline excretion were determined before and after glycemic control. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion was not significantly changed by glycemic control [17.8 (7.1-23.2) versus 18.1 (10.9-28.1) mg/m2 day, P > 0.05]. However, serum osteocalcin level was significantly elevated (5.04 +/- 1.43 versus 4.17 +/- 1.83 micrograms/liter, P = 0.04). We found no correlation among fasting plasma glucose, HbA1, and fasting serum C-peptide levels with urinary hydroxyproline excretion. There was also no correlation between serum osteocalcin and fasting plasma glucose or serum C-peptide, but HbA1 was negatively correlated with serum osteocalcin (P = 0.01). No correlation was found between DM duration and BMI in the patients with serum osteocalcin level and urinary hydroxyproline excretion. To eliminate the possible effect of exogenous insulin on bone metabolism, the correlation analysis between the markers and C-peptide was further repeated in oral agents-treated patients. Serum C-peptide was not correlated to serum osteocalcin or urinary hydroxyproline in this subgroup of patients. Knowing that serum osteocalcin is a marker of bone formation, we concluded that osteoblast function may improve by glycemic control in diabetic patients; this may be due to correction of metabolic abnormalities associated with insulinopenia.

Abstract
Glycation of long-lived proteins is an inevitable consequence of aging that is accelerated in patients with diabetes mellitus. Treatment of demineralized bone matrix particles from 35-week-old normal Long-Evans rats with glycoaldehyde, a precursor of advanced glycation end-products, was used to assess the effects of bone-matrix glycation on the process of bone differentiation. Matrix was incubated in phosphate buffered saline alone, phosphate buffered saline containing glycolaldehyde, glycolaldehyde plus the advanced glycation product-inhibitor aminoguanidine, or glycolaldehyde plus the advanced glycation product-inhibitor sodium cyanoborohydride. Glycolaldehyde increased the matrix advanced glycation product content as measured by specific fluorescence more than two-fold, while inhibiting bone differentiation more than 90% as measured by in vivo 45CaCl2 uptake, alkaline phosphatase levels, and histology. In contrast, simultaneous incubation with the advanced glycation product-inhibitor aminoguanidine or sodium cyanoborohydride not only reduced fluorescence to normal, but also restored bone differentiation. Furthermore, the inhibition of bone differentiation by glycolaldehyde was not reversed by subsequent application of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2. These observations suggest that formation of advanced glycation products on bone matrix alters its ability to induce bone formation, and probably involves alterations of binding sites for extractable proteins with direct bone inductive properties such as bone morphogenetic protein-2. Decreased bone formation associated with aging and diabetes may result, in part, from advanced glycation product formation on matrix proteins.

Abstract
Streptozotocin-induced, insulin-deficient diabetic rats were administrated either minocycline (MC) or a chemically modified non-antimicrobial tetracycline (CMT) by oral gavage for a 3-week period; untreated diabetic and nondiabetic rats served as controls. On day 21, all rats received an intravenous injection of 3H-proline followed by perfusion fixation with an aldehyde mixture at 20 minutes and 4 hours after isotope injection. The parietal bones of these rats were dissected and processed for quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography to study 3H-proline utilization by osteoblasts. At 20 minutes after 3H-proline injection, radioprecursor was incorporated by the Golgi-RER system of the osteoblasts in the periosteal surface of the control rats. At the 4-hour time period, most of the label was present over the collagen fibers of the osteoid. In contrast, the flattened bone-lining cells in the untreated diabetic rats showed minimal uptake (20 minutes) and secretion (4 hours) of labeled proline. In both MC and CMT-treated diabetic rats, the radioprecursor was localized in the osteoblasts and osteoid matrix in a pattern similar to that seen in the control rats at both 20 minutes and 4 hours after isotope injection. Labeling of the osteoid by the radioprecursor was greater as a result of CMT treatment than during minocycline treatment. These results suggest that the diabetes-induced suppression of synthesis and secretion of protein (presumably collagen and its precursor) by osteoblasts can be restored to near-normal levels by administration of tetracycline(s) and that this effect is mediated by a non-antimicrobial property of these antibiotics.

Abstract
Using a tissue culture system based on a nearly pure population of avian precartilage mesenchymal cells, we have found that ambient glucose levels as little as 50% lower, or 100% higher, than normally present in embryonic sera are deleterious to cartilage development, as measured by the accumulation of highly sulfated proteoglycan and the corresponding cartilage-specific chondroitin sulfate core protein mRNA. Abnormal glucose concentrations in the ranges studied did not selectively influence cell replication, and the effects on chondrogenesis were not due to differences in overall protein synthesis or glucose utilization in the treatment groups. Core protein gene expression was more severely affected than accumulation of extracellular product, suggesting the existence of posttranscriptional compensatory mechanisms. The sensitivity to ambient glucose levels of both expression of the cartilage-specific chondroitin sulfate core protein gene and the accumulation of the corresponding extracellular matrix macromolecules during chondrogenesis suggest a molecular mechanism for the well-known adverse effect of maternal diabetes on embryonic skeletogenesis. The results further suggest that hypoglycemia resulting from stringent control of diabetes may also be deleterious to skeletal development.
