Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Defining the optimal parathyroid hormone (PTH) target in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is challenging, especially for bone outcomes, due to the substantial variability in the skeleton's response to PTH. Although PTH hyporesponsiveness is as integral a component of CKD-mineral bone disorder as elevated PTH levels, clinical awareness of this condition is limited. In this review, we will discuss factors and mechanisms contributing to PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD. This knowledge may provide clues towards a personalized approach to treating secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD. RECENT FINDINGS Indicates a link between disturbed phosphate metabolism and impaired skeletal calcium sensing receptor signaling as an important mediator of PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD. Further, cohort studies with diverse populations point towards differences in mineral metabolism control, rather than genetic or environmental factors, as drivers of the variability of PTH responsiveness. IN SUMMARY Skeletal PTH hyporesponsiveness in CKD has a multifactorial origin, shows important interindividual variability, and is challenging to estimate in clinical practice. The variability in skeletal responsiveness compromises PTH as a biomarker of bone turnover, especially when considering populations that are heterogeneous in ethnicity, demography, kidney function, primary kidney disease and mineral metabolism control, and in patients treated with bone targeting drugs.

Melittin Treats Periprosthetic Osteolysis in a Rat Model by Inhibiting the NF-kB Pathway and Regulating the Ratio of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand/Osteoprotegerin. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:1845-1855. [PMID: 38336308 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.01.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aseptic loosening around the prosthesis is a common cause of failure in total joint arthroplasty. Polyethylene wear particles trigger the release of inflammatory factors by macrophages. Key mediators involved in osteoclastogenesis include interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL), and bone protection hormone (Osteoprotegerin [OPG]). The purpose of our experiment was to see whether melittin can slow down the release of inflammatory mediators through the NF-kB pathway, regulate the RANKL/OPG ratio, reduce osteoclast formation, and delay the onset of arthritis in rats. METHODS A total of 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats (10 months, Specific Pathogen Free, 350 g ± 20 g) were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham group, model group, melittin concentration 1 group (0.2 mg/kg), concentration 2 group (0.4 mg/kg), and concentration 3 group (0.6 mg/kg). All rats were implanted with TA2 high-purity titanium rods. A drill was used to create a bone canal along the long axis of the femur in the intercondylar notch. The model group and experimental groups were exposed to polyethylene particles, while the sham group did not receive any particles. RESULTS The melittin group exhibited significantly increased serum levels of serum P, calcium-phosphorus product, OPG, PINP, PINP/CTX-I, and OPG/RANKKL (P < .05). In the experimental group, micro computed tomography scanning results revealed a decrease in the amount of bone defect around the prosthesis. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated a decrease in the expression of IKKα and P65, while the expression of OPG showed an upward trend. Both Hematoxylin-Eosin and Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase staining revealed less osteoclast and inflammatory cell infiltration in bone resorption pits. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that melittin has the ability to inhibit the NF-kB pathway in a rat model, and reduce the impact of RANKL/OPG, thereby delaying osteoclast activity and alleviating periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Various diseases and conditions cause joint disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the degeneration of articular cartilage, synovitis, and anabolic changes in surrounding bone tissues. In contrast, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and hemophilic arthropathy (HA) display marked destruction of bone tissues caused by synovitis. RA is a representative autoimmune disease. The primary tissue of RA pathogenesis is the synovial membrane and involves various immune cells that produce catabolic cytokines and enzymes. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in blood clotting factors. Recurrent intra-articular bleeding leads to chronic synovitis through excessive iron deposition and results in the destruction of affected joints. Although the triggers for these two joint diseases are completely different, many cytokines and enzymes are common in the pathogenesis of both RA and HA. This review focuses on the similarities between joint and bone destruction in RA and HA. The insights may be useful in developing better treatments for hemophilia patients with arthropathy and osteoporosis by leveraging advanced therapeutics for RA.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoimmunology recognizes the relationship between bone cells and immune cells. Chronic osteoimmune dysregulation is present in bone marrow defects of the jaw (BMDJ) as fatty-degenerative osteonecrosis (FDOJ). In comparison to samples from healthy jaw bone, the cytokine analysis of samples of BMDJ/FDOJ from 128 patients showed downregulated TNF-α and IL-6 expression and the singular overexpression of the chemokine RANTES/CCL5. Aim and Objectives This paper raises the question of whether the osteoimmune defects due to incomplete wound healing in BMDJ/FDOJ in 128 patients are related to dysregulation of the Th1/Th2 ratio and regulatory T cell (T-reg) expression in a control group of 197 BMDJ/FDOJ patients, each presenting with BMDJ/FJOD and one of seven different immune disorders. Material and Methods In the control group, serum concentrations of the cytokines IFN-y and IL-4 were determined after stimulated cytokine release and displayed as Th1/Th2 ratios. Results Data show a shift in Th2 in more than 80% (n = 167) of the control cohort of 197 chronically ill patients with concomitant BMDJ/FDOJ. In these 167 subjects, the Th1/Th2 ratio was <6.1 demonstrating impaired immune regulation. Forty-seven subjects or 30% showed not only a shift in Th2 but also excessive T-reg overactivation with levels of >1.900 pg/mL, indicating strongly downregulated immune activity. Discussion BMDJ/FDOJ is characterized by a lack of Th1 cytokines and an excessive expression of RANTES/CCL5 and IL-1ra and, thus, the inversion of an acute inflammatory cytokine pattern. In contrast, abdominal fat contains a very high proportion of regulatory Th1 cells and produces an inflammatory immune response through the high overexpression of TNF-α and IL-6. The lack of Th1 activation in BMDJ/FDOJ areas inhibits normal wound healing and supports the persistence of BMDJ/FDOJ. Conclusion The Th1/Th2 ratio requires greater consideration, especially with respect to wound healing following dental surgical interventions, such as jaw surgery, implantation and augmentation, to avoid the emergence of the osteoimmune situation that is characteristic of BMDJ/FDOJ.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are associated with imbalanced bone remodeling. Skeletal injury leads to limited motor function and pain. Neurophilin was initially identified in axons, and its various ligands and roles in bone remodeling, angiogenesis, neuropathic pain and immune regulation were later discovered. Neurophilin promotes osteoblast mineralization and inhibits osteoclast differentiation and its function. Neuropolin-1 provides channels for immune cell chemotaxis and cytokine diffusion and leads to pain. Neuropolin-1 regulates the proportion of T helper type 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg cells), and affects bone immunity. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) combine with neuropilin and promote angiogenesis. Class 3 semaphorins (Sema3a) compete with VEGF to bind neuropilin, which reduces angiogenesis and rejects sympathetic nerves. This review elaborates on the structure and general physiological functions of neuropilin and summarizes the role of neuropilin and its ligands in bone and cartilage diseases. Finally, treatment strategies and future research directions based on neuropilin are proposed.

Molecules 2024; 29:2113.

Abstract
Edible grey oyster mushroom, Pleurotus sajor-caju, β (1,3), (1,6) glucan possesses a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-microorganism and antioxidant. However, its biological activity is limited by low water solubility resulting from its high molecular weight. Our previous study demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis of grey oyster mushroom β-glucan using Hevea β-1,3-glucanase isozymes obtains a lower molecular weight and higher water solubility, Pleurotus sajor-caju glucanoligosaccharide (Ps-GOS). Additionally, Ps-GOS potentially reduces osteoporosis by enhancing osteoblast-bone formation, whereas its effect on osteoclast-bone resorption remains unknown. Therefore, our study investigated the modulatory activities and underlying mechanism of Ps-GOS on Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) -induced osteoclastogenesis in pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells. Cell cytotoxicity of Ps-GOS on RAW 264.7 cells was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and its effect on osteoclast differentiation was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Additionally, its effect on osteoclast bone-resorptive ability was detected by pit formation assay. The osteoclastogenic-related factors were assessed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot and immunofluorescence. The results revealed that Ps-GOS was non-toxic and significantly suppressed the formation of mature osteoclast multinucleated cells and their resorption activity by reducing the number of TRAP-positive cells and pit formation areas in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, Ps-GOS attenuated the nuclear factor kappa light chain-enhancer of activated B cells' P65 (NFκB-P65) expression and their subsequent master osteoclast modulators, including nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1) and Fos proto-oncogene (cFOS) via the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, Ps-GOS markedly inhibited RANK expression, which serves as an initial transmitter of many osteoclastogenesis-related cascades and inhibited proteolytic enzymes, including TRAP, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin K (CTK). These findings indicate that Ps-GOS could potentially be beneficial as an effective natural agent for bone metabolic disease.

Abstract
Inflammation and skeletal homeostasis are closely intertwined. Inflammatory diseases are associated with local and systemic bone loss, and post-menopausal osteoporosis is linked to low-level chronic inflammation. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase signalling is a pivotal pathway modulating immune responses and controlling skeletal health. Mice deficient in Src homology 2-containing inositol phosphatase 1 (SHIP1), a negative regulator of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase pathway, develop systemic inflammation associated with low body weight, reduced bone mass, and changes in bone microarchitecture. To elucidate the specific role of the immune system in skeletal development, a genetic approach was used to characterise the contribution of SHIP1-controlled systemic inflammation to SHIP1-dependent osteoclastogenesis. Lymphocyte deletion entirely rescued the skeletal phenotype in Rag2 -/- /Il2rg -/- /SHIP1 -/- mice. Rag2 -/- /Il2rg -/- /SHIP1 -/- osteoclasts, however, displayed an intermediate transcriptomic signature between control and Rag2 +/+ /Il2rg +/+ /SHIP1 -/- osteoclasts while exhibiting aberrant in vitro development and functions similar to Rag2 +/+ /Il2rg +/+ /SHIP1 -/- osteoclasts. These data establish a cell-intrinsic role for SHIP1 in osteoclasts, with inflammation as the key driver of the skeletal phenotype in SHIP1-deficient mice. Our findings demonstrate the central role of the immune system in steering physiological skeletal development.

Abstract
Smoking continues to pose a global threat to morbidity and mortality in populations. The detrimental impact of smoking on health and disease includes bone destruction and immune disruption in various diseases. Osteoimmunology, which explores the communication between bone metabolism and immune homeostasis, aims to reveal the interaction between the osteoimmune systems in disease development. Smoking impairs the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts in bone formation while promoting osteoclast differentiation in bone resorption. Furthermore, smoking stimulates the Th17 response to increase inflammatory and osteoclastogenic cytokines that promote the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling in osteoclasts, thus exacerbating bone destruction in periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The pro-inflammatory role of smoking is also evident in delayed bone fracture healing and osteoarthritis development. The osteoimmunological therapies are promising in treating periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis, but further research is still required to block the smoking-induced aggravation in these diseases. Translational potential This review summarizes the adverse effect of smoking on mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts and elucidates the smoking-induced exacerbation of periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone fracture healing, and osteoarthritis from an osteoimmune perspective. We also propose the therapeutic potential of osteoimmunological therapies for bone destruction aggravated by smoking.

Abstract
This study comprehensively explores the complexities of rheumatoid arthritis during pregnancy and its impact on offspring. Through an extensive review of existing literature, we investigate maternal and fetal risks, including adverse pregnancy outcomes and developmental issues in offspring. Utilizing reputable databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, we meticulously examined studies exploring the connection between rheumatoid arthritis and pregnancy complications, with a focus on outcomes for offspring. We excluded studies lacking sufficient data or peer review. Synthesizing findings from selected studies, we identified common themes and patterns, presenting results in a clear, organized manner. Our examination reveals a heightened likelihood of preterm birth and preeclampsia among pregnant individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, often correlated with disease activity. Furthermore, we highlight the impact on fetal and neonatal outcomes, such as low birth weight, underscoring the importance of meticulous disease management throughout pregnancy. Balancing the necessity of disease-modifying agents with potential risks, and consideration of medication safety is paramount. A multidisciplinary approach involving rheumatologists and obstetricians is crucial for optimizing outcomes. In conclusion, this synthesis underscores the nuanced challenges of rheumatoid arthritis in pregnancy. A comprehensive understanding and personalized, multidisciplinary approach to an organization is essential for informed decision-making in clinical practice. Our review contributes to ongoing discourse, providing insights for enhanced patient care and guiding future research endeavors.

Magnesium Ions Promote the Induction of Immunosuppressive Bone Microenvironment and Bone Repair through HIF-1α-TGF-β Axis in Dendritic Cells.

Abstract
The effect of immunoinflammation on bone repair during the recovery process of bone defects needs to be further explored. It is reported that Mg2+ can promote bone repair with immunoregulatory effect, but the underlying mechanism on adaptive immunity is still unclear. Here, by using chitosan and hyaluronic acid-coated Mg2+ (CSHA-Mg) in bone-deficient mice, it is shown that Mg2+ can inhibit the activation of CD4+ T cells and increase regulatory T cell formation by inducing immunosuppressive dendritic cells (imDCs). Mechanistically, Mg2+ initiates the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway through TRPM7 channels on DCs. This process subsequently induces the downstream HIF-1α expression, a transcription factor that amplifies TGF-β production and inhibits the effective T cell function. In vivo, knock-out of HIF-1α in DCs or using a HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 reverses inhibition of bone inflammation and repair promotion upon Mg2+-treatment. Moreover, roxadustat, which stabilizes HIF-1α protein expression, can significantly promote immunosuppression and bone repair in synergism with CSHA-Mg. Thus, the findings identify a key mechanism for DCs and its HIF-1α-TGF-β axis in the induction of immunosuppressive bone microenvironment, providing potential targets for bone regeneration.

Vitamin A enhanced periosteal osteoclastogenesis is associated with increased number of tissue-derived macrophages/osteoclast progenitors. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107308.

Abstract
A deleterious effect of elevated levels of vitamin A on bone health has been reported in clinical studies. Mechanistic studies in rodents have shown that numbers of periosteal osteoclasts are increased, while endocortical osteoclasts are simultaneously decreased by vitamin A treatment. The present study investigated the in vitro and in vivo effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the active metabolite of vitamin A, on periosteal osteoclast progenitors. Mouse calvarial bone cells were cultured in media containing ATRA, with or without the osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B-ligand (RANKL), on plastic dishes or bone discs. Whereas ATRA did not stimulate osteoclast formation alone, the compound robustly potentiated the formation of RANKL-induced bone resorbing osteoclasts. This effect was due to stimulation by ATRA (half-maximal stimulation ∼3 nM) on the numbers of macrophages/osteoclast progenitors in the bone cell cultures, as assessed by mRNA and protein expression of several macrophage and osteoclast progenitor cell markers, such as macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B, F4/80, and CD11b, as well as by flow cytometry (FACS) analysis of CD11b+/F480+/Gr1- cells. The stimulation of macrophage numbers in the periosteal cell cultures was not mediated by increased macrophage colony-stimulating factor or interleukin-34. In contrast, ATRA did not enhance macrophages in bone marrow cell cultures. Importantly, ATRA treatment upregulated the mRNA expression of several macrophage-related genes in the periosteum of tibia in adult mice. These observations demonstrate a novel mechanism by which vitamin A enhances osteoclast formation specifically on periosteal surfaces.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis, bone and cartilage destruction, and increased fracture risk with bone loss. Although disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs have dramatically improved clinical outcomes, these therapies are not universally effective in all patients because of the heterogeneity of RA pathogenesis. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying RA pathogenesis, including associated bone loss, in order to identify novel therapeutic targets. In this study, we found that Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1) was highly expressed in RA patients' synovium and murine ankle tissue with arthritis. As CD45+CD11b+ myeloid cells are a Bub1 highly expressing population among synovial cells in mice, myeloid cell-specific Bub1 conditional knockout (Bub1ΔLysM) mice were generated. Bub1ΔLysM mice exhibited reduced femoral bone mineral density when compared with control (Ctrl) mice under K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis, with no significant differences in joint inflammation or bone erosion based on a semi-quantitative erosion score and histological analysis. Bone histomorphometry revealed that femoral bone mass of Bub1ΔLysM under arthritis was reduced by increased osteoclastic bone resorption. RNA-seq and subsequent Gene Set Enrichment Analysis demonstrated a significantly enriched nuclear factor-kappa B pathway among upregulated genes in receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) obtained from Bub1ΔLysM mice. Indeed, osteoclastogenesis using BMMs derived from Bub1ΔLysM was enhanced by RANKL and tumor necrosis factor-α or RANKL and IL-1β treatment compared with Ctrl. Finally, osteoclastogenesis was increased by Bub1 inhibitor BAY1816032 treatment in BMMs derived from wildtype mice. These data suggest that Bub1 expressed in macrophages plays a protective role against inflammatory arthritis-associated bone loss through inhibition of inflammation-mediated osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Bones can form the scaffolding of the body, support the organism, coordinate somatic movements, and control mineral homeostasis and hematopoiesis. The immune system plays immune supervisory, defensive, and regulatory roles in the organism, which mainly consists of immune organs (spleen, bone marrow, tonsils, lymph nodes, etc.), immune cells (granulocytes, platelets, lymphocytes, etc.), and immune molecules (immune factors, interferons, interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, etc.). Bone and the immune system have long been considered two distinct fields of study, and the bone marrow, as a shared microenvironment between the bone and the immune system, closely links the two. Osteoimmunology organically combines bone and the immune system, elucidates the role of the immune system in bone, and creatively emphasizes its interdisciplinary characteristics and the function of immune cells and factors in maintaining bone homeostasis, providing new perspectives for skeletal-related field research. In recent years, bone immunology has gradually become a hot spot in the study of bone-related diseases. As a new branch of immunology, bone immunology emphasizes that the immune system can directly or indirectly affect bones through the RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling pathway, IL family, TNF-α, TGF-β, and IFN-γ. These effects are of great significance for understanding inflammatory bone loss caused by various autoimmune or infectious diseases. In addition, as an external environment that plays an important role in immunity and bone, this study pays attention to the role of exercise-mediated bone immunity in bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can deliver various bioactive molecules among cells, making them promising diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives in diseases. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) have shown therapeutic potential similar to MSCs but with drawbacks such as lower yield, reduced biological activities, off-target effects, and shorter half-lives. Improving strategies utilizing biotechniques to pretreat MSCs and enhance the properties of released EVs, as well as modifying MSC-EVs to enhance targeting abilities and achieve controlled release, shows potential for overcoming application limitations and enhancing therapeutic effects in treating bone-related diseases. This review focuses on recent advances in functionalizing MSC-EVs to treat bone-related diseases. Firstly, we underscore the significance of MSC-EVs in facilitating crosstalk between cells within the skeletal environment. Secondly, we highlight strategies of functional-modified EVs for treating bone-related diseases. We explore the pretreatment of stem cells using various biotechniques to enhance the properties of resulting EVs, as well as diverse approaches to modify MSC-EVs for targeted delivery and controlled release. Finally, we address the challenges and opportunities for further research on MSC-EVs in bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative bone disease associated with aging. The rising global aging population has led to a surge in OA cases, thereby imposing a significant socioeconomic burden. Researchers have been keenly investigating the mechanisms underlying OA. Previous studies have suggested that the disease starts with synovial inflammation and hyperplasia, advancing toward cartilage degradation. Ultimately, subchondral-bone collapse, sclerosis, and osteophyte formation occur. This progression is deemed as "top to bottom." However, recent research is challenging this perspective by indicating that initial changes occur in subchondral bone, precipitating cartilage breakdown. In this review, we elucidate the epidemiology of OA and present an in-depth overview of the subchondral bone's physiological state, functions, and the varied pathological shifts during OA progression. We also introduce the role of multifunctional signal pathways (including osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), and chemokine (CXC motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12)/CXC motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)) in the pathology of subchondral bone and their role in the "bottom-up" progression of OA. Using vivid pattern maps and clinical images, this review highlights the crucial role of subchondral bone in driving OA progression, illuminating its interplay with the condition.

Abstract
Periodontitis (PD) is an inflammatory disease with alveolar bone destruction by osteoclasts (OCs). In PD, both inflammation and OC activation are significantly influenced by periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDL-Fib). Yet, whether PDL-Fib has heterogeneity and whether distinct PDL-Fib subsets have specific functions have not been investigated. In this study, we discovered the complexity of PDL-Fib in PD, utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing data from human PD patients. We identified distinct subpopulations of PDL-Fib: one expressing interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and another expressing the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), both crucial in OC differentiation and bone resorption. In periodontal tissues of mice with PD, active IL-1β, cleaved caspase 1, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (NLPR3) were significantly elevated, implicating the NLRP3 inflammasome in IL-1β production. Upon stimulation of PDL-Fib with LPS from Porphyromonas gingivalis (pg), the most well-characterized periodontal bacteria, a more rapid increase in IL-1β, followed by RANKL induction, was observed. IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), another LPS-responsive cytokine, effectively increased RANKL in PDL-Fib, suggesting an indirect effect of pgLPS through IL-1β and TNF-α on RANKL induction. Immunohistological analyses of mouse periodontal tissues also showed markedly elevated levels of IL-1β and RANKL upon PD induction and displayed separate locations of IL-1β-expressing PDL-Fib and RANKL-expressing PDL-Fib in PD. The heterogenic feature of fibroblasts expressing IL-1β and RANKL was also mirrored in our combined cross-tissue single-cell RNA sequencing datasets analysis. In summary, our study elucidates the heterogeneity of PDL-Fib, highlighting distinct functional groups for producing RANKL and IL-1β, which collectively promote OC generation and bone destruction in PD.

Abstract
Background and aims Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member which increases in chronic inflammation and is associated with altered bone turnover and cardiovascular complications. In this study, we investigated whether OPG increases during acute inflammatory states induced by infections in children and correlated its levels with other biomarkers. Materials and methods This is a prospective study that included 59 patients with documented bacterial infections, 20 with viral infections and 20 healthy controls. OPG, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and white blood cells (WBC) were measured. Results OPG serum levels were significantly increased during inflammation induced by a bacterial infection, compared to viral infection and controls (4.17 pmol/l (2.40-12.12) vs 3.2 (1.66-5.33) and 3 pmol/l (2.13-4.76), respectively, p < 0.001). In addition, OPG correlated well with CRP (rho = 0.428, p = 0.0011), ESR (rho = 0.3, p = 0.026), and WBC (rho = 0.266, p = 0.05) only in the group with bacterial infection. The sensitivity of CRP in detecting a bacterial infection was superior to OPG (67.3% vs 38.3%). Conclusion This study provides proof of concept that OPG increases differentially in bacterial infections, although with a lower sensitivity than CRP. Further studies are needed to define the role of OPG during the inflammatory states of infection in pediatric infections.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering scaffolds may provide a potential strategy for onlay bone grafts for oral implants. For determining the fate of scaffold biomaterials and osteogenesis effects, the host immune response is crucial. In the present study, bredigite (BRT) bioceramic scaffolds with an ordered arrangement structure (BRT-O) and a random morphology (BRT-R) were fabricated. The physicochemical properties of scaffolds were first characterized by scanning electron microscopy, mechanical test and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, their osteogenic and immunomodulatory properties in an onlay grafting model were investigated. In vitro, the BRT-O scaffolds facilitated the macrophage polarization towards a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which subsequently facilitated the migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, an onlay grafting model was successfully established in the cranium of rabbits. In addition, the BRT-O scaffolds grafted on rabbit cranium promoted bone regeneration and CD68 + CD206 + M2 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, the 3D-printed BRT-O scaffold presents as a promising scaffold biomaterial for onlay grafts by regulating the local immune microenvironment.

Abstract
The jawbone, a unique structure in the human body, undergoes faster remodeling than other bones due to the presence of stem cells and its distinct immune microenvironment. Long-term exposure of jawbones to an oral environment rich in microbes results in a complex immune balance, as shown by the higher proportion of activated macrophage in the jaw. Stem cells derived from the jawbone have a higher propensity to differentiate into osteoblasts than those derived from other bones. The unique immune microenvironment of the jaw also promotes osteogenic differentiation of jaw stem cells. Here, we summarize the various types of stem cells and immune cells involved in jawbone reconstruction. We describe the mechanism relationship between immune cells and stem cells, including through the production of inflammatory bodies, secretion of cytokines, activation of signaling pathways, etc. In addition, we also comb out cellular interaction of immune cells and stem cells within the jaw under jaw development, homeostasis maintenance and pathological conditions. This review aims to eclucidate the uniqueness of jawbone in the context of stem cell within immune microenvironment, hopefully advancing clinical regeneration of the jawbone.

The neutrophil-osteogenic cell axis promotes bone destruction in periodontitis. Int J Oral Sci 2024; 16:18. [PMID: 38413562 PMCID: PMC10899642 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-023-00275-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The immune-stromal cell interactions play a key role in health and diseases. In periodontitis, the most prevalent infectious disease in humans, immune cells accumulate in the oral mucosa and promote bone destruction by inducing receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in osteogenic cells such as osteoblasts and periodontal ligament cells. However, the detailed mechanism underlying immune-bone cell interactions in periodontitis is not fully understood. Here, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis on mouse periodontal lesions and showed that neutrophil-osteogenic cell crosstalk is involved in periodontitis-induced bone loss. The periodontal lesions displayed marked infiltration of neutrophils, and in silico analyses suggested that the neutrophils interacted with osteogenic cells through cytokine production. Among the cytokines expressed in the periodontal neutrophils, oncostatin M (OSM) potently induced RANKL expression in the primary osteoblasts, and deletion of the OSM receptor in osteogenic cells significantly ameliorated periodontitis-induced bone loss. Epigenomic data analyses identified the OSM-regulated RANKL enhancer region in osteogenic cells, and mice lacking this enhancer showed decreased periodontal bone loss while maintaining physiological bone metabolism. These findings shed light on the role of neutrophils in bone regulation during bacterial infection, highlighting the novel mechanism underlying osteoimmune crosstalk.

Abstract
The disruption of host-microbe homeostasis and uncontrolled inflammatory response have been considered as vital causes for developing periodontitis, subsequently leading to an imbalance between the bone and immune system and the collapse of bone homeostasis. Consequently, strategies to modulate the immune response and bone metabolization have become a promising approach to prevent and treat periodontitis. In this study, we investigated the cooperative effects of Nel-like molecule type 1 (Nell-1) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on macrophage polarization, osteoclast differentiation, and the corresponding functions in an experimental model of periodontitis in rats. Nell-1-combined AuNPs in in vitro studies were found to reduce the production of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, p < 0.0001; IL-6, p = 0.0012), modulate the ratio of M2/M1 macrophages by inducing macrophage polarization into the M2 phenotype, and inhibit cell fusion, maturation, and activity of osteoclasts. Furthermore, the local application of Nell-1-combined AuNPs in in vivo studies resulted in alleviation of damages to the periodontal and bone tissues, modulation of macrophage polarization and the activity of osteoclasts, and alteration of the periodontal microbiota, in which the relative abundance of the probiotic Bifidobacterium increased (p < 0.05). These findings reveal that Nell-1-combined AuNPs could be a promising drug candidate for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis. However, Nell-1-combined AuNPs did not show organ toxicity or impair the integrity of intestinal epithelium but alter the gut microbiota, leading to the dysbiosis of gut microbiota. The adverse impact of changes in gut microbiota needs to be further investigated. Nonetheless, this study provides a novel perspective and direction for the biological safety assessment of biomaterials in oral clinical applications.

Abstract
Based on the evidence of a significant communication and connection pathway between the bone and immune systems, a new science has emerged: osteoimmunology. Indeed, the immune system has a considerable impact on bone health and diseases, as well as on bone formation during grafts and its stability over time. Chronic inflammation induces the excessive production of oxidants. An imbalance between the levels of oxidants and antioxidants is called oxidative stress. This physio-pathological state causes both molecular and cellular damage, which leads to DNA alterations, genetic mutations and cell apoptosis, and thus, impaired immunity followed by delayed or compromised wound healing. Oxidative stress levels experienced by the body affect bone regeneration and maintenance around teeth and dental implants. As the immune system and bone remodeling are interconnected, bone loss is a consequence of immune dysregulation. Therefore, oral tissue deficiencies such as periodontitis and peri-implantitis should be regarded as immune diseases. Bone management strategies should include both biological and surgical solutions. These protocols tend to improve immunity through antioxidant production to enhance bone formation and prevent bone loss. This narrative review aims to highlight the relationship between inflammation, oxidation, immunity and bone health in the oral cavity. It intends to help clinicians to detect high-risk situations in oral surgery and to propose biological and clinical solutions that will enhance patients' immune responses and surgical treatment outcomes.

Abstract
The periosteum is known as the thin connective tissue covering most bone surfaces. Its extrusive bone regeneration capacity was confirmed from the very first century-old studies. Recently, pluripotent stem cells in the periosteum with unique physiological properties were unveiled. Existing in dynamic contexts and regulated by complex molecular networks, periosteal stem cells emerge as having strong capabilities of proliferation and multipotential differentiation. Through continuous exploration of studies, we are now starting to acquire more insight into the great potential of the periosteum in bone formation and repair in situ or ectopically. It is undeniable that the periosteum is developing further into a more promising strategy to be harnessed in bone tissue regeneration. Here, we summarized the development and structure of the periosteum, cell markers, and the biological features of periosteal stem cells. Then, we reviewed their pivotal role in bone repair and the underlying molecular regulation. The understanding of periosteum-related cellular and molecular content will help enhance future research efforts and application transformation of the periosteum.

Abstract
Cranial bone defects remain a major clinical challenge, increasing patients' life burdens. Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites play crucial roles in facilitating bone tissue regeneration. However, the development of TCA cycle metabolite-modified biomimetic grafts for skull bone regeneration still needs to be improved. The mechanism underlying the release of TCA cycle metabolites from biomaterials in regulating immune responses and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) fate (migration and differentiation) remains unknown. Herein, this work constructs biomimetic hydrogels composed of gelatin and chitosan networks covalently cross-linked by genipin (CGG hydrogels). A series of TCA cycle metabolite-coordinated CGG hydrogels with strong mechanical and antiswelling performances are subsequently developed. Remarkably, the citrate (Na3Cit, Cit)-coordinated CGG hydrogels (CGG-Cit hydrogels) with the highest mechanical modulus and strength significantly promote skull bone regeneration in rat and murine cranial defects. Mechanistically, using a transgenic mouse model, bulk RNA sequencing, and single-cell RNA sequencing, this work demonstrates that CGG-Cit hydrogels promote Gli1+ MSC migration via neutrophil-secreted oncostatin M. Results also indicate that citrate improves osteogenesis via enhanced histone H3K9 acetylation on osteogenic master genes. Taken together, the immune microenvironment- and MSC fate-regulated CGG-Cit hydrogels represent a highly efficient and facile approach toward skull bone tissue regeneration with great potential for bench-to-bedside translation.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the risk factors for symptomatic osteonecrosis (ON) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and identify clinical characteristics and laboratory markers for predicting symptomatic ON occurrence in SLE patients. Methods Seventy (6.0%) of 1175 SLE patients diagnosed with symptomatic ON were included in this study. An equal number of SLE patients without symptomatic ON, matched in terms of age and gender, were enrolled in the control group. Clinical symptoms, routine laboratory examinations, lymphocyte subsets, and treatments of these patients were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors associated with symptomatic ON in SLE. Results Among the 70 cases in the symptomatic ON group, 62 (88.6%) patients experienced femoral head necrosis, with bilateral involvement observed in 58 patients. Bone pain was reported in 32 cases (51.6%), and 19 cases (30.6%) presented with multiple symptoms. Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the two groups in various factors, including disease duration (months), cumulative steroid exposure time, history of thrombosis, neurological involvement, the number of affected organs, myalgia/myasthenia, and the use of medications such as glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, aspirin, and statins (P<0.05). Moreover, lupus anticoagulant (LA) levels were significantly higher in the symptomatic ON group than in the control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, notable distinctions were observed in peripheral blood immune cells, including an elevated white blood cell count (WBC), a decreased percentage of Ts cells (CD3+CD8+), and an elevated Th/Ts ratio. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of thrombosis, LA positivity, and an elevated Th/Ts ratio remained positive factors associated with symptomatic ON (P<0.05). Conclusion Decreased Ts cells and changes in the T lymphocyte subset play an important regulatory role in the development of symptomatic ON. A history of thrombosis and LA are associated with an increased probability of symptomatic ON in SLE and may serve as potential predictors.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial tissue and joint bone destruction, often leading to significant disability. The main pathological manifestation of joint deformity in RA patients is bone destruction, which occurs due to the differentiation and proliferation of osteoclasts. The transcription factor nuclear factor-activated T cell 1 (NFATc1) plays a crucial role in this process. The regulation of NFATc1 in osteoclast differentiation is influenced by three main factors. Firstly, NFATc1 is activated through the upstream nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/RANK signaling pathway. Secondly, the Ca2+-related co-stimulatory signaling pathway amplifies NFATc1 activity. Finally, negative regulation of NFATc1 occurs through the action of cytokines such as B-cell Lymphoma 6 (Bcl-6), interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), MAF basic leucine zipper transcription factor B (MafB), and LIM homeobox 2 (Lhx2). These three phases collectively govern NFATc1 transcription and subsequently affect the expression of downstream target genes including TRAF6 and NF-κB. Ultimately, this intricate regulatory network mediates osteoclast differentiation, fusion, and the degradation of both organic and inorganic components of the bone matrix. This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in understanding the mechanism of NFATc1 in the context of RA-related bone destruction and discusses potential therapeutic agents that target NFATc1, with the aim of offering valuable insights for future research in the field of RA. To assess their potential as therapeutic agents for RA, we conducted a drug-like analysis of potential drugs with precise structures.

DKK-1 and Its Influences on Bone Destruction: A Comparative Study in Collagen-Induced Arthritis Mice and Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients. Inflammation 2024; 47:129-144. [PMID: 37688661 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-023-01898-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) has been considered a master regulator of bone remodeling. As precursors of osteoclasts (OCs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were previously shown to participate in the process of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the role of DKK-1 and MDSCs in RA is not yet fully understood. We investigated the relevance between the level of DKK-1 and the expression of MDSCs in different tissues and joint destruction in RA patients and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models. Furthermore, the CIA mice were administered recombinant DKK-1 protein. The arthritis scores, bone destruction, and the percentage of MDSCs in the peripheral blood and spleen were monitored. In vitro, the differentiation of MDSCs into OCs was intervened with recombinant protein and inhibitor of DKK-1. The number of OCs differentiated and the protein expression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were explored. The level of DKK-1 positively correlates with the frequency of MDSCs and bone erosion in RA patients and CIA mice. Strikingly, recombinant DKK-1 intervention significantly exacerbated arthritis scores and bone destruction, increasing the percentage of MDSCs in the peripheral blood and spleen in CIA mice. In vitro experiments showed that recombinant DKK-1 promoted the differentiation of MDSCs into OCs, reducing the expression of β-catenin and TCF4 and increasing the expression of CyclinD1. In contrast, the DKK-1 inhibitor had the opposite effect. Our findings highlight that DKK-1 promoted MDSCs expansion in RA and enhanced the differentiation of MDSCs into OCs via targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, aggravating the bone destruction in RA.

Abstract
Bone aging is characterized by an imbalance in the physiological and pathological processes of osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, adipogenesis, and chondrogenesis, resulting in exacerbated bone loss and the development of age-related bone diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis. Inflammaging, a novel concept in the field of aging research, pertains to the persistent and gradual escalation of pro-inflammatory reactions during the aging process. This phenomenon is distinguished by its low intensity, systemic nature, absence of symptoms, and potential for management. The mechanisms by which inflammaging contribute to age-related chronic diseases, particularly in the context of age-related bone diseases, remain unclear. The precise manner in which systemic inflammation induces bone aging and consequently contributes to the development of age-related bone diseases has yet to be fully elucidated. This article primarily examines the mechanisms underlying inflammaging and its association with age-related bone diseases, to elucidate the potential mechanisms of inflammaging in age-related bone diseases and offer insights for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for such conditions.

Abstract
Bone metabolism is the basis for maintaining the normal physiological state of bone, and imbalance of bone metabolism can lead to a series of metabolic bone diseases. As a member of the IL-6 family, IL-11 acts primarily through the classical signaling pathway IL-11/Receptors, IL-11 (IL-11R)/Glycoprotein 130 (gp130). The regulatory role of IL-11 in bone metabolism has been found earlier, but mainly focuses on the effects on osteogenesis and osteoclasis. In recent years, more studies have focused on IL-11's roles and related mechanisms in different bone metabolism activities. IL-11 regulates osteoblasts, osteoclasts, BM stromal cells, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and chondrocytes. It's involved in bone homeostasis, including osteogenesis, osteolysis, bone marrow (BM) hematopoiesis, BM adipogenesis, and bone metastasis. This review exams IL-11's role in pathology and bone tissue, the cytokines and pathways that regulate IL-11 expression, and the feedback regulations of these pathways.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are associated with pain and lead to reduced mobility and quality of life for patients. Radon therapy is used as alternative or complementary to pharmaceutical treatments. According to previous reports, radon spa leads to analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms are widely unknown. A previous study (RAD-ON01) revealed, that bone erosion markers like collagen fragments (C-terminal telopeptide, CTX) are reduced after radon spa treatment in serum of patients with degenerative MSDs. Within the scope of the prospective, placebo-controlled RAD-ON02 trial presented here, we analyzed the influence of radon and thermal spa treatment on osteoclastogenesis. From patient blood, we isolate monocytes, seeded them on bone slices and differentiated them in the presence of growth factors into mature osteoclasts (mOCs). Subsequent analysis showed a smaller fraction of mOCs after both treatments, which was even smaller after radon spa treatment. A significantly reduced resorbed area on bone slices reflects this result. Only after radon spa treatment, we detected in the serum of patients a significant decrease of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), which indicates reduced differentiation of OCs. However, other markers for bone resorption (CTX) and bone formation (OPG, OCN) were not altered after both treatments. Adipokines, such as visfatin and leptin that play a role in some MSD-types by affecting osteoclastogenesis, were not changed after both treatments. Further, also immune cells have an influence on osteoclastogenesis, by inhibiting and promoting terminal differentiation and activation of OCs, respectively. After radon treatment, the fraction of Treg cells was significantly increased, whereas Th17 cells were not altered. Overall, we observed that both treatments had an influence on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Moreover, radon spa treatment affected the Treg cell population as well as the Th17/Treg ratio were affected, pointing toward a contribution of the immune system after radon spa. These data obtained from patients enrolled in the RAD-ON02 trial indicate that radon is not alone responsible for the effects on bone metabolism, even though they are more pronounced after radon compared to thermal spa treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the features of the expression of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, macrophages in the post-traumatic regenerate of the mandible rats under conditions of filling a bone defect with hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material and thymalin injecting the surrounding soft tissues. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: An experiment was conducted on 48 mature rats of the WAG population weighing 160-180 grams. Four groups were formed. Group 1 included 12 rats with a simulated holey defect in the lower jaw. Group 2 included 12 rats with a simulated holey defect in the lower jaw followed by its closure with hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material (bone graft "Biomin GT"). Group 3 included 12 rats with a simulated holey defect in the lower jaw with injecting the surrounding soft tissues with thymalin. Group 4 included 12 rats with a simulated holey defect in the lower jaw followed by its closure with hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material (bone graft "Biomin GT") and injecting the surrounding soft tissues with thymalin. The material for the morphological study was a fragment of the lower jaw from the area of the simulated holey defect. An immunohistochemical study was aperformed using monoclonal antibodies to CD68, CD20, CD163, CD86, CD3. RESULTS Results: A comprehensive experimental and morphological study conducted by the authors revealed that thymalin injection of the soft tissues surrounding the bone defect of the lower jaw, filled with hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material "Biomin GT", stimulates local immune reactions in the post-traumatic regenerate, which is manifested, firstly, by an increase in the number T-lymphocytes on the 3rd day of the experiment and their increase up to the 28th day; secondly, by increasing the number of B-lymphocytes on the 14th day of the experiment with their further increase up to the 28th day; thirdly, by increasing the number of macrophages on the 3rd day of the experiment and their growth up to the 28th day; fourth, changes in macrophages phenotypes (decrease in the number of M1-macrophages and increase in the number of M2-macrophages). CONCLUSION Conclusions: Stimulation of local immune reactions in the post-traumatic regenerate can be one of the mechanisms that activate reparative osteogenesis in the lower jaw of rats under the conditions of filling bone defects with hydroxyapatite-containing osteotropic material "Biomin GT" and thymalin injecting the surrounding soft tissues.

Abstract
This study is focused on assessing the activation in NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells when they interact with osteoclasts (OCs) and monocytes in the presence or absence of zoledronate (ZOL), both in humans and WT mice. OCs resulted in increased IFN-γ secretion in NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells, however, the significantly highest increase was seen when cells were co-cultured with ZOL-treated OCs. Our previous studies have demonstrated increased IFN-γ secretion in the peripheral blood-derived immune cells of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) mice model. This could be due to increased OCs-induced activation of immune cells with ZOL treatment. We also observed increased IFN-γ secretion in humanized-BLT (hu-BLT) mice NK cells when were co-cultured with OCs or monocytes, and higher IFN-γ secretion levels were seen in the presence of OCs or ZOL-treated OCs. In addition, similar effects on IFN-γ secretion levels of NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells were seen whether cells were co-cultured with allogeneic OCs or autologous OCs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that generally causes joint synovial inflammation as well as gradual cartilage and degenerative changes, resulting in progressive immobility. Cartilage destruction induces synovial inflammation, including synovial cell hyperplasia, increased synovial fluid, and synovial pane development. This phenomenon causes articular cartilage damage and joint alkalosis. Traditional medicinal system exerts their effect through several cellular mechanisms, including inhibition of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress suppression, cartilage degradation inhibition, increasing antioxidants and decreasing rheumatic biomarkers. The medicinal plants have yielded a variety of active constituents from various chemical categories, including alkaloids, triterpenoids, steroids, glycosides, volatile oils, flavonoids, lignans, coumarins, terpenes, sesquiterpene lactones, anthocyanins, and anthraquinones. This review sheds light on the utilization of medicinal plants in the treatment of RA. It explains various phytoconstituents present in medicinal plants and their mechanism of action against RA. It also briefs about the uses of polyherbal formulations (PHF), which are currently in the market and the toxicity associated with the use of medicinal plants and PHF, along with the limitations and research gaps in the field of PHF. This review paper is an attempt to understand various mechanistic approaches employed by several medicinal plants, their possible drug delivery systems and synergistic effects for curing RA with minimum side effects.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a rapidly progressing disease with a poor prognosis. Bone metastasis is commonly found in 40.6% of advanced-stage patients. The mortality rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis can be significantly decreased by implementing novel diagnostic techniques, improved staging and classification systems, precise surgical interventions, and advanced treatment modalities. However, it is important to note that there is currently a lack of radical procedures available for these patients due to the development of drug resistance. Consequently, palliative care approaches are commonly employed in clinical practice. Therefore, new understandings of the process of bone metastasis of lung cancer are critical for developing better treatment strategies to improve patient's clinical cure rate and quality of life. Chemokines are cell-secreted small signaling proteins in cancer occurrence, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. In this study, we review the development of bone metastasis in lung cancer and discuss the mechanisms of specific chemokine families (CC, CXC, CX3C, and XC) in regulating the biological activities of tumors and promoting bone metastasis. We also highlight some preclinical studies and clinical trials on chemokines for lung cancer and bone metastasis.

Abstract
Bones serve mechanical and defensive functions, as well as regulating the balance of calcium ions and housing bone marrow.. The qualities of bones do not remain constant. Instead, they fluctuate throughout life, with functions increasing in some situations while deteriorating in others. The synchronization of osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is critical for maintaining bone mass and microstructure integrity in a steady state. This equilibrium, however, can be disrupted by a variety of bone pathologies. Excessive osteoclast differentiation can result in osteoporosis, Paget's disease, osteolytic bone metastases, and rheumatoid arthritis, all of which can adversely affect people's health. Osteoclast differentiation is regulated by transcription factors NFATc1, MITF, C/EBPα, PU.1, NF-κB, and c-Fos. The transcriptional activity of osteoclasts is largely influenced by developmental and environmental signals with the involvement of co-factors, RNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, and the microenvironment. In this paper, we review these themes in regard to transcriptional regulation in osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires stimulation of functional β cell regeneration and survival under stress. Previously, we showed that inhibition of the RANKL/RANK [receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa Β (NF-κB) ligand] pathway, by osteoprotegerin and the anti-osteoporotic drug denosumab, induces rodent and human β cell proliferation. We demonstrate that the RANK pathway mediates cytokine-induced rodent and human β cell death through RANK-TRAF6 interaction and induction of NF-κB activation. Osteoprotegerin and denosumab protected β cells against this cytotoxicity. In human immune cells, osteoprotegerin and denosumab reduce proinflammatory cytokines in activated T-cells by inhibiting RANKL-induced activation of monocytes. In vivo, osteoprotegerin reversed recent-onset T1D in nonobese diabetic/Ltj mice, reduced insulitis, improved glucose homeostasis, and increased plasma insulin, β cell proliferation, and mass in these mice. Serum from T1D subjects induced human β cell death and dysfunction, but not α cell death. Osteoprotegerin and denosumab reduced T1D serum-induced β cell cytotoxicity and dysfunction. Inhibiting RANKL/RANK could have therapeutic potential.

Genetic Evidence Supporting a Causal Association Between mTOR-Dependent EIF-4E Circulating Protein Level and Osteoporosis. Adv Ther 2023; 40:4987-4998. [PMID: 37728694 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-023-02676-x] [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: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates bone homeostasis, a crucial factor in osteoporosis (OP) development. However, most research is based on observational studies, and the causality remains uncertain. Therefore, we analyzed two samples of mendelian randomization (MR) to determine whether there is a causal relationship between mTOR-dependent circulating proteins and OP. METHODS Mendelian weighting (weighted median [WM], inverse variance weighting [IVW], and MR-Egger regression) were applied to analyze the causality between bone phenotypes (bone mineral density [BMD] in forearm, femoral neck, lumbar spine, and heel) and mTOR-dependent circulating proteins (RP-S6K, 4EBP, EIF-4E, EIF-4A, and EIF-4G). Horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneities were detected using Cochran's Q test, MR-Pleiotropy RE-Sidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO), and "leave-one-out" analysis. The proteomics-GWAS INTERVAL study was used to select the instrumental variables (IVs) for mTOR proteins. RESULTS As phenotypes for OP, estimations of BMD were taken in four different sites: forearm (FA) (n = 8143), femoral neck (FN) (n = 32,735), lumbar spine (LS) (n = 28,498), and heel (eBMD) (n = 426,824). Based on IVW analysis, EIF4E is causally related to FA-BMD (OR = 0.938, 95% CI 0.887, 0.991, p = 0.024) but not to BMD elsewhere. CONCLUSION MR analysis revealed a causal relationship between EIF-4E and FA-BMD, which may provide new insights into the underlying pathogenesis of OP and a new therapeutic target for OP.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease afflicting millions globally. Despite the development of numerous pharmacological treatments for OA, a substantial unmet need for effective therapies persists. The RANK/RANKL signaling pathway has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for OA, owing to its pivotal role in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity. In this comprehensive review, we aim to elucidate the relevant mechanisms of OA mediated by RANK/RANKL signaling, including bone remodeling, inflammation, cartilage degradation, osteophyte formation, and pain sensitization. Furthermore, we discuss and summarize the cutting-edge strategies targeting RANK/RANKL signaling for OA therapy, encompassing approaches such as gene-based interventions and biomaterials-aided pharmacotherapy. In addition, we highlight the prevailing challenges associated with pharmacological OA treatments and explore potential future directions, approached through a clinical-translational lens.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e22365. [PMID: 38099006 PMCID: PMC10720268 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22365] [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: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is a critical cause of osteoporosis affecting many aging people worldwide. 5'-Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a natural sulfur-containing nucleoside normally produced in prokaryotes, plants, yeast, and higher eukaryotes via polyamine metabolism. MTA affects various physiological responses particularly the inflammatory pathway in both normal and cancerous cells and modulates the activation of nuclear factor-κB involved in the osteoclastogenesis signalling process. While several studies have reported that natural products possess anti-osteoclastogenesis phenolics and flavonoids, the effect of nucleoside derivatives on osteoclastogenesis remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which MTA affects pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells as a potential alleviation compound for inflammation-mediated bone loss. Osteoclasts were established by incubating RAW264.7 macrophage cells with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor, the vital cytokines for activation of osteoclast differentiation. Cell viability was measured using MTT assays at 24, 48, and 72 h. The suppressive effect of MTA on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and function was assessed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) analysis, qRT-PCR, and pit formation, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays. MTA showed dose-dependent anti-osteoclastogenic activity by inhibiting TRAP-positive cell and pit formation and reducing essential digestive enzymes, including TRAP, cathepsin K, and matrix metallopeptidase 9. MTA was observed to suppress the osteoclast transduction pathway through (RANKL)-induced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFƘB); it attenuated NFƘB-P65 expression and down-regulated cFos proto-oncogene and nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1), the main regulators of osteoclasts. Moreover, the suppression of RANK (the initial receptor triggering several osteoclastogenic transduction pathways) was observed. Thus, this study highlights the potential of MTA as an effective therapeutic compound for restoring bone metabolic disease by inhibiting the RANK-NFATc1 signal pathway.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is achieved by the simultaneous activation of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. When orthodontic forces are applied, osteoclast-mediated bone resorption occurs in the alveolar bone on the compression side, creating space for tooth movement. Therefore, controlling osteoclastogenesis is the fundamental tenet of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic forces are sensed by osteoblast lineage cells such as periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and osteocytes. Of several cytokines produced by these cells, the most important cytokine promoting osteoclastogenesis is the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), which is mainly supplied by osteoblasts. Additionally, osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix, T lymphocytes in inflammatory conditions, and PDL cells produce RANKL. Besides RANKL, inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and prostaglandin E2 promote osteoclastogenesis under OTM. On the downside, excessive osteoclastogenesis activation triggers orthodontically-induced external root resorption (ERR) through pro-osteoclastic inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis during OTM is essential in reducing the adverse effects of orthodontic treatment. Here, we review the current concepts of the mechanisms underlying osteoclastogenesis in OTM and orthodontically induced ERR.

Abstract
The gut microbiome (GM) has become a crucial factor that can affect the progression of osteoporosis. A number of studies have demonstrated the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on GM and bone metabolism. In this review, we summarize the potential mechanisms of the relationship between osteoporosis and GM disorder and introduce several natural Chinese medicines that exert anti-osteoporosis effects by modulating the GM. It is underlined that, through the provision of the microbial associated molecular pattern (MAMP), the GM causes inflammatory reactions and alterations in the Treg-Th17 balance and ultimately leads to changes in bone mass. Serotonin and many hormones, especially estrogen, may play a crucial role in the interaction of the GM with bone metabolism. Additionally, the GM may affect the absorption of specific nutrients in the intestine, particularly minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Several natural Chinese herbs, such as Sambucus Williamsii, Achyranthes bidentata Blume, Pleurotus ostreatus and Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, Pueraria Lobata, and Agaricus blazei Murill have exhibited anti-osteoporosis effects through regulating the distribution and metabolism of the GM. These herbs may increase the abundance of Firmicutes, decrease the abundance of Bacteroides, promote the GM to produce more SCFAs, modulate the immune response caused by harmful bacteria, and increase the proportion of Treg-Th17 to indirectly affect bone metabolism. Moreover, gut-derived 5-HT is an important target for TCM to prevent osteoporosis via the gut-bone axis. Puerarin could prevent osteoporosis by improving intestinal mucosal integrity and decrease systemic inflammation caused by estrogen deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) is a phytoestrogen that has been reported to improve postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) caused by estrogen deficiency. In our work, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of SDG in regulating the expressions of ERs on PMOP model rats. METHODS Ovariectomization (OVX) was used to establish PMOP model in rats. The experiment was allocated to Sham, OVX, SDG and raloxifene (RLX) groups. After 12-week treatment, micro-CT was used to detect the transverse section of bone. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and Safranine O-Fast Green staining were supplied to detect the femur pathological morphology of rats. Estradiol (E2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), bone formation and bone catabolism indexes in serum were detected using ELISA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was used to detect the osteogenic ability of chondrocytes. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were applied to detect the protein expressions of estrogen receptors (ERs) in the femur of rats. RESULTS Compared with the OVX group, micro-CT results showed SDG could lessen the injury of bone and improve femoral parameters, including bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD). Pathological results showed SDG could reduce pathological injury of femur in OVX rats. Meanwhile, SDG decreased the level of IL-6 and regulated bone formation and bone catabolism indexes. Besides, SDG increased the level of E2 and conversed OVX-induced decreased the expression of ERα and ERβ. CONCLUSION The treatment elicited by SDG in OVX rats was due to the reduction of injury and inflammation and improvement of bone formation index, via regulating the expression of E2 and ERs.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique in preclinical and clinical studies due to its predictability. Its main purpose is to prevent the migration of soft tissue into the osseous wound space, while allowing osseous cells to migrate to the site. GBR is classified into two main categories: resorbable and non-resorbable membranes. Resorbable membranes do not require a second surgery but tend to have a short resorption period. Conversely, non-resorbable membranes maintain their mechanical strength and prevent collapse. However, they require removal and are susceptible to membrane exposure. GBR is often used with bone substitute graft materials to fill the defect space and protect the bone graft. The membrane can also undergo various modifications, such as surface modification and biological factor loading, to improve barrier functions and bone regeneration. In addition, bone regeneration is largely related to osteoimmunology, a new field that focuses on the interactions between bone and the immune system. Understanding these interactions can help in developing new treatments for bone diseases and injuries. Overall, GBR has the potential to be a powerful tool in promoting bone regeneration. Further research in this area could lead to advancements in the field of bone healing. This review will highlight resorbable and non-resorbable membranes with cellular responses during bone regeneration, provide insights into immunological response during bone remodeling, and discuss antibacterial features.

Abstract
Several rheumatologic diseases are primarily distinguished by their involvement of bone tissue, which not only serves as a mere target of the condition but often plays a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. This scenario is particularly prominent in chronic inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Given the immunological and systemic nature of these diseases, in this review, we report an overview of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying specific bone involvement, focusing on the complex interactions that occur between bone tissue's own cells and the molecular and cellular actors of the immune system, a recent and fascinating field of interest defined as osteoimmunology. Specifically, we comprehensively elaborate on the distinct pathogenic mechanisms of bone erosion seen in both rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis, as well as the characteristic process of aberrant bone formation observed in spondyloarthritis. Lastly, chronic inflammatory arthritis leads to systemic bone involvement, resulting in systemic bone loss and consequent osteoporosis, along with increased skeletal fragility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During approximately 10,000 years of domestication and selection, a large number of structural variations (SVs) have emerged in the genome of pig breeds, profoundly influencing their phenotypes and the ability to adapt to the local environment. SVs (≥ 50 bp) are widely distributed in the genome, mainly in the form of insertion (INS), mobile element insertion (MEI), deletion (DEL), duplication (DUP), inversion (INV), and translocation (TRA). While studies have investigated the SVs in pig genomes, genome-wide association studies (GWAS)-based on SVs have been rarely conducted. RESULTS Here, we obtained a high-quality SV map containing 123,151 SVs from 15 Large White and 15 Min pigs through integrating the power of several SV tools, with 53.95% of the SVs being reported for the first time. These high-quality SVs were used to recover the population genetic structure, confirming the accuracy of genotyping. Potential functional SV loci were then identified based on positional effects and breed stratification. Finally, GWAS were performed for 36 traits by genotyping the screened potential causal loci in the F2 population according to their corresponding genomic positions. We identified a large number of loci involved in 8 carcass traits and 6 skeletal traits on chromosome 7, with FKBP5 containing the most significant SV locus for almost all traits. In addition, we found several significant loci in intramuscular fat, abdominal circumference, heart weight, and liver weight, etc. CONCLUSIONS: We constructed a high-quality SV map using high-coverage sequencing data and then analyzed them by performing GWAS for 25 carcass traits, 7 skeletal traits, and 4 meat quality traits to determine that SVs may affect body size between European and Chinese pig breeds.

Abstract
Joint arthroplasty is an option for end-stage septic arthritis due to joint infection after effective control of infection. However, complications such as osteolysis and aseptic loosening can arise afterwards due to wear and tear caused by high joint activity after surgery, necessitating joint revision. Some studies on tissue pathology after prosthesis implantation have identified various cell populations involved in the process. However, these studies have often overlooked the complexity of the altered periprosthetic microenvironment, especially the role of nano wear particles in the etiology of osteolysis and aseptic loosening. To address this gap, we propose the concept of the "prosthetic microenvironment". In this perspective, we first summarize the histological changes in the periprosthetic tissue from prosthetic implantation to aseptic loosening, then analyze the cellular components in the periprosthetic microenvironment post prosthetic implantation. We further elucidate the interactions among cells within periprosthetic tissues, and display the impact of wear particles on the disturbed periprosthetic microenvironments. Moreover, we explore the origins of disease states arising from imbalances in the homeostasis of the periprosthetic microenvironment. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of relevant factors in the microenvironment of the periprosthetic tissues, in an attempt to contribute to the development of innovative treatments to manage this common complication of joint replacement surgery.

Osteocyte RANKL Drives Bone Resorption in Mouse Ligature-Induced Periodontitis. J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:1521-1540. [PMID: 37551879 PMCID: PMC11140853 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/09/2023]
Abstract
Mouse ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) has been used to study bone loss in periodontitis. However, the role of osteocytes in LIP remains unclear. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the choice of alveolar bone parameters and time points to evaluate LIP. Here, we investigated the dynamics of changes in osteoclastogenesis and bone volume (BV) loss in LIP over 14 days. Time-course analysis revealed that osteoclast induction peaked on days 3 and 5, followed by the peak of BV loss on day 7. Notably, BV was restored by day 14. The bone formation phase after the bone resorption phase was suggested to be responsible for the recovery of bone loss. Electron microscopy identified bacteria in the osteocyte lacunar space beyond the periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue. We investigated how osteocytes affect bone resorption of LIP and found that mice lacking receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), predominantly in osteocytes, protected against bone loss in LIP, whereas recombination activating 1 (RAG1)-deficient mice failed to resist it. These results indicate that T/B cells are dispensable for osteoclast induction in LIP and that RANKL from osteocytes and mature osteoblasts regulates bone resorption by LIP. Remarkably, mice lacking the myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MYD88) did not show protection against LIP-induced bone loss. Instead, osteocytic cells expressed nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 1 (NOD1), and primary osteocytes induced significantly higher Rankl than primary osteoblasts when stimulated with a NOD1 agonist. Taken together, LIP induced both bone resorption and bone formation in a stage-dependent manner, suggesting that the selection of time points is critical for quantifying bone loss in mouse LIP. Pathogenetically, the current study suggests that bacterial activation of osteocytes via NOD1 is involved in the mechanism of osteoclastogenesis in LIP. The NOD1-RANKL axis in osteocytes may be a therapeutic target for bone resorption in periodontitis. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Two decades ago, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes coined the term chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) to describe the syndrome of biochemical, bone and extra-skeletal calcification abnormalities that occur in patients with CKD. CKD-MBD is a prevalent complication and contributes to the excessively high burden of fractures and cardiovascular disease, loss of quality of life and premature mortality in patients with CKD. Thus far, therapy has focused primarily on phosphate retention, abnormal vitamin D metabolism and parathyroid hormone disturbances, but these strategies have largely proved unsuccessful, thus calling for paradigm-shifting concepts and innovative therapeutic approaches. Interorgan crosstalk is increasingly acknowledged to have an important role in health and disease. Accordingly, mounting evidence suggests a role for both the immune system and the gut microbiome in bone and vascular biology. Gut dysbiosis, compromised gut epithelial barrier and immune cell dysfunction are prominent features of the uraemic milieu. These alterations might contribute to the inflammatory state observed in CKD and could have a central role in the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD. The emerging fields of osteoimmunology and osteomicrobiology add another level of complexity to the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD, but also create novel therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
Periosteum has shown potential as an effective barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, if recognized as a "foreign body," insertion of a barrier membrane in GBR treatment will inevitably alter the local immune microenvironment and subsequently influence bone regeneration. The aim of this investigation was to fabricate decellularized periosteum (DP) and investigate its immunomodulatory properties in GBR. DP was successfully fabricated from periosteum from the mini-pig cranium. In vitro experiments indicated that the DP scaffold modulated macrophage polarization toward a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which in turn facilitated migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A rat GBR model with a cranial critical-size defect was established, and our in vivo experiment confirmed the beneficial effects of DP on the local immune microenvironment and bone regeneration. Collectively, the findings of this study indicate that the prepared DP possesses immunomodulatory properties and represents a promising barrier membrane for GBR procedures.

Abstract
The RANK-RANKL-OPG system is a complex signaling pathway that plays a critical role in bone metabolism, mammary epithelial cell development, immune function, and cancer. RANKL is a ligand that binds to RANK, a receptor expressed on osteoclasts, dendritic cells, T cells, and other cells. RANKL signaling promotes osteoclast differentiation and activation, which leads to bone resorption. OPG is a decoy receptor that binds to RANKL and inhibits its signaling. In cancer cells, RANKL expression is often increased, which can lead to increased bone resorption and the development of bone metastases. RANKL-neutralizing antibodies, such as denosumab, have been shown to be effective in the treatment of skeletal-related events, including osteoporosis or bone metastases, and cancer. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the functions of the RANK-RANKL-OPG system in bone metabolism, mammary epithelial cells, immune function, and cancer, together with the potential therapeutic implications of the RANK-RANKL pathway for cancer management.
