Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a major health problem affecting millions of women worldwide. PMOP patients are often accompanied by abnormal accumulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). BMAT is a critical regulator of bone homeostasis, and an increasing BMAT volume is negatively associated with bone mass reduction or fracture. BMAT regulates bone metabolism via adipokines, cytokines and the immune system, but the specific mechanisms are largely unknown. This review emphasizes the impact of estrogen deficiency on bone homeostasis and BMAT expansion, and the mechanism by which BMAT regulates PMOP, providing a promising strategy for targeting BMAT in preventing and treating PMOP.

[PMID: 38044472 PMCID: PMC11009083 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25756] [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: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
High fat diets overwhelm the physiological mechanisms for absorption, storage, and utilization of triglycerides (TG); consequently TG, TG-rich lipoproteins (TGRL), and TGRL remnants accumulate, circulate systemically, producing dyslipidemia. This associates with, or is causative for increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk, ischemic stroke, fatty liver disease, and pancreatitis. TGRL hydrolysis by endothelial surface-bound lipoprotein lipase (LPL) generates metabolites like free fatty acids which have proinflammatory properties. While osteoblasts utilize fatty acids as an energy source, dyslipidemia is associated with negative effects on the skeleton. In this study we investigated the effects of TGRL lipolysis products (TGRL-LP) on expression of a stress responsive transcription factor, termed activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), reactive oxygen species (ROS), ATF3 target genes, and angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) in osteoblasts. As ATF3 negatively associates with osteoblast differentiation, we also investigated the skeletal effects of global ATF3 deletion in mice. TGRL-LP increased expression of Atf3, proinflammatory proteins Ptgs2 and IL-6, and induced ROS in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Angptl4 is an endogenous inhibitor of LPL which was transcriptionally induced by TGRL-LP, while recombinant Angptl4 prevented TG-driven Atf3 induction. Atf3 global knockout male mice demonstrated increased trabecular and cortical microarchitectural parameters. In summary, we find that TGRL-LP induce osteoblastic cell stress as evidenced by expression of ATF3, which may contribute to the negative impact of dyslipidemia in the skeleton. Further, concomitant induction of Angptl4 in osteoblasts might play a protective role by reducing local lipolysis.

Abstract
The adipose organ adapts and responds to internal and environmental stimuli by remodeling both its cellular and extracellular components. Under conditions of energy surplus, the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) is capable of expanding through the enlargement of existing adipocytes (hypertrophy), followed by de novo adipogenesis (hyperplasia), which is impaired in hypertrophic obesity. However, an impaired hyperplastic response may result from various defects in adipogenesis, leading to different WAT features and metabolic consequences, as discussed here by reviewing the results of the studies in animal models with either overexpression or knockdown of the main molecular regulators of the two steps of the adipogenesis process. Moreover, impaired WAT remodeling with aging has been associated with various age-related conditions and reduced lifespan expectancy. Here, we delve into the latest advancements in comprehending the molecular and cellular processes underlying age-related changes in WAT function, their involvement in common aging pathologies, and their potential as therapeutic targets to influence both the health of elderly people and longevity. Overall, this review aims to encourage research on the mechanisms of WAT maladaptation common to conditions of both excessive and insufficient fat tissue. The goal is to devise adipocyte-targeted therapies that are effective against both obesity- and age-related disorders.

Whitening of brown adipose tissue inhibits osteogenic differentiation via secretion of S100A8/A9. iScience 2024; 27:108857.

Abstract
The mechanism by which brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates bone metabolism is unclear. Here, we reveal that BAT secretes S100A8/A9, a previously unidentified BAT adipokine (batokine), to impair bone formation. Brown adipocytes-specific knockout of Rheb (RhebBAD KO), the upstream activator of mTOR, causes BAT malfunction to inhibit osteogenesis. Rheb depletion induces NF-κB dependent S100A8/A9 secretion from brown adipocytes, but not from macrophages. In wild-type mice, age-related Rheb downregulation in BAT is associated with enhanced S100A8/A9 secretion. Either batokines from RhebBAD KO mice, or recombinant S100A8/A9, inhibits osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro by targeting toll-like receptor 4 on their surfaces. Conversely, S100A8/A9 neutralization not only rescues the osteogenesis repressed in the RhebBAD KO mice, but also alleviates age-related osteoporosis in wild-type mice. Collectively, our data revealed an unexpected BAT-bone crosstalk driven by Rheb-S100A8/A9, uncovering S100A8/A9 as a promising target for the treatment, and potentially, prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Liraglutide (LRG), one agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R), has multiple lipid-lowering effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus, however, studies on the role of LRG in saturated fatty acid-induced bone loss are limited. Therefore, our aim was to investigate whether LRG reduces palmitate (PA)-induced apoptosis and whether the mechanism involves PKA/β-catenin/Bcl-2/Bax in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of PA, LRG, or pretreated with Exendin 9-39 and H89, cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), cAMP levels, apoptosis and the expression of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylation of PKA (p-PKA), β-catenin and phosphorylation of β-catenin (Ser675)(p-β-catenin), GLP1R, cleaved-capase 3, Bcl2-Associated X Protein (Bax) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) along with expression of Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were evaluated. PA treatment inhibited cell proliferation and cAMP levels, elevated intracellular ROS levels and promoted apoptosis, increased protein expressions of RANKL, Bax and cleaved-caspase3, meanwhile decreased protein expression of OPG and Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. LRG inverted PA-induced apoptosis, increased cAMP levels, promoted expression of p-PKA, p-β-catenin (Ser675) and reversed these gene expressions via increasing GLP1R expression. Pretreatment of the cells with Exendin 9-39 and H89 partially eradicated the protective effect of LRG on PA-induced apoptosis and gene expressions. Therefore, these findings indicated that LRG attenuates PA-induced apoptosis possibly by GLP1R-mediated PKA/β-catenin/Bcl-2/Bax pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our results point to LRG as a new strategy to attenuate bone loss associated with high fat diet beyond its lipid-lowering actions. LRG inhibits PA-mediated apoptosis via GLP1R-mediated PKA/β-catenin/Bcl-2/ Bax pathway, while possibly enhances PA-inhibited differentiation by regulating the expression of OPG and RANKL.

Abstract
With the aging of the global population, the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases has been increasing, seriously affecting people's health. As people age, the microenvironment within skeleton favors bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, accompanied by bone marrow fat accumulation and multiple cellular senescence. Specifically, skeletal stem/stromal cells (SSCs) during aging tend to undergo adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis. Meanwhile, osteoblasts, as well as osteocytes, showed increased apoptosis, decreased quantity, and multiple functional limitations including impaired mechanical sensing, intercellular modulation, and exosome secretion. Also, the bone resorption function of macrophage-lineage cells (including osteoclasts and preosteoclasts) was significantly enhanced, as well as impaired vascularization and innervation. In this study, we systematically reviewed the effect of aging on bone and the within microenvironment (including skeletal cells as well as their intracellular structure variations, vascular structures, innervation, marrow fat distribution, and lymphatic system) caused by aging, and mechanisms of osteoimmune regulation of the bone environment in the aging state, and the causal relationship with multiple musculoskeletal diseases in addition with their potential therapeutic strategy.

Sesamin ameliorates lipotoxicity and lipid accumulation through the activation of the estrogen receptor alpha signaling pathway. Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 216:115768.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been linked to fat accumulation in the liver and lipid metabolism imbalance. Sesamin, a lignan commonly found in sesame seed oil, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. However, the precise mechanisms by which sesamin prevents hepatic steatosis are not well understood. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which sesamin may improve lipid metabolism dysregulation. A in vitro hepatic steatosis model was established by exposing HepG2 cells to palmitate sodium. The results showed that sesamin effectively mitigated lipotoxicity and reduced reactive oxygen species production. Additionally, sesamin suppressed lipid accumulation by regulating key factors involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis, such as fatty acid synthase (FASN), sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c), forkhead box protein O-1, and adipose triglyceride lipase. Molecular docking results indicated that sesamin could bind to estrogen receptor α (ERα) and reduce FASN and SREBP-1c expression via the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Sesamin attenuated palmitate-induced lipotoxicity and regulated hepatic lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells by activating the ERα/CaMKKβ/AMPK signaling pathway. These findings suggest that sesamin can improve lipid metabolism disorders and is a promising candidate for treating hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is partially caused by dysfunctions in the commitment, differentiation or survival of osteoblasts. Bone marrow fatty acids affect bone resorption and formation. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of fatty acids in the early stages of postmenopausal osteoporosis and determine whether they influence osteogenic differentiation through microRNAs. A quantitative analysis of bone marrow fatty acids early after ovariectomy or sham surgery in a rat osteoporotic model was performed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results showed that palmitoleate was significantly decreased on postoperative day 3 while both pentadecanoate and palmitoleate were significantly decreased on postoperative day 5 in rats in the ovariectomized group compared with those in the sham group. Palmitoleate promotes osteogenic differentiation, whereas pentadecanoate inhibits this process. Palmitoleate levels were higher than those of pentadecanoate; therefore, the early overall effect of significant bone marrow fatty acid changes was a decrease in osteogenic differentiation. We also found that miR-92b-3p inhibited osteoblastogenesis via the miR-92b-3p/phosphatase and tensin homolog regulatory axis. Palmitoleate, pentadecanoate, and palmitate influenced the osteoblastogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells through miR-92b-3p. Taken together, we propose that miR-92b-3p mediates the effect of bone marrow fatty acids on osteoblast differentiation in the early stages of osteoporosis. These findings may provide molecular insights for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bone synthesizing function of osteoblasts (OBs) is a highly demanding energy process that requires nutrients. However, how nutrient availability affects OBs behavior and bone mineralization remain to be fully understood. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cell line and primary OBs (OBs) cultures were treated with physiological levels of glucose (G; 5.5 mM) alone or with the addition of palmitic acid (G+PA) at different concentrations. Mitochondria morphology and activity were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy, qPCR, and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurement, and OBs function was assessed by mineralization assay. RESULTS The addition of non-lipotoxic levels of 25 μM PA to G increased mineralization in OBs. G+25 μM PA exposure reduced mitochondria size in OBs, which was associated with increased activation of dynamin-related protein 1, a mitochondrial fission protein, enhanced mitochondria OCR and ATP production, and increased expression of oxidative phosphorylation genes. Treatment with Mdivi-1, a putative inhibitor of mitochondrial fission, reduced osteogenesis and mitochondrial respiration in OBs. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that OBs function was enhanced in the presence of glucose and PA at 25 μM. This was associated with increased OBs mitochondrial respiration and dynamics. These results suggest a role for nutrient availability in bone physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
The mechanism of the impact of hyperlipidemia on bone tissue homeostasis is unclear, and the role of lipophagy is yet to be investigated. This study investigated changes in lipophagy and osteogenesis levels under hyperlipemic conditions and explored the effects of lipophagy on bone regeneration. In vivo, femurs of mice with diet-induced moderate hyperlipidemia were ground out with a ball drill to create defects. In vitro, mouse osteoblast cell lines were grown in two different concentrations of the high-fat medium. We found that at hyperphysiological of lipid conditions, activation of lipophagy restored osteoblast function in a way, and similar results were observed in mice with diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Still, at suprahyperphysiological concentrations of lipid culture, the activation of lipophagy further inhibited osteogenesis, and inhibition of autophagy instead promoted osteogenesis to a small extent. These results demonstrate that lipophagy functions differently in diverse high-fat environments, suggesting that cellular and organismal changes in response to high-fat stimuli are dynamic. This may provide new ideas for improving bone dysfunction caused by lipid metabolism disorders.

Abstract
The past decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of skeletal homeostasis and the mechanisms that mediate the loss of bone integrity in disease. Recent breakthroughs have arisen mainly from identifying disease-causing mutations and modeling human bone disease in rodents, in essence, highlighting the integrative nature of skeletal physiology. It has become increasingly clear that bone cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, communicate and regulate the fate of each other through RANK/RANKL/OPG, liver X receptors (LXRs), EphirinB2-EphB4 signaling, sphingolipids, and other membrane-associated proteins, such as semaphorins. Mounting evidence also showed that critical developmental pathways, namely, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), NOTCH, and WNT, interact each other and play an important role in postnatal bone remodeling. The skeleton communicates not only with closely situated organs, such as bone marrow, muscle, and fat, but also with remote vital organs, such as the kidney, liver, and brain. The metabolic effect of bone-derived osteocalcin highlights a possible role of skeleton in energy homeostasis. Furthermore, studies using genetically modified rodent models disrupting the reciprocal relationship with tropic pituitary hormone and effector hormone have unraveled an independent role of pituitary hormone in skeletal remodeling beyond the role of regulating target endocrine glands. The cytokine-mediated skeletal actions and the evidence of local production of certain pituitary hormones by bone marrow-derived cells displays a unique endocrine-immune-skeletal connection. Here, we discuss recently elucidated mechanisms controlling the remodeling of bone, communication of bone cells with cells of other lineages, crosstalk between bone and vital organs, as well as opportunities for treating diseases of the skeleton.

Abstract
Bone is a living organ that exhibits active metabolic processes, presenting constant bone formation and resorption. The bone cells that maintain local homeostasis are osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes and bone marrow stem cells, their progenitor cells. Osteoblasts are the main cells that govern bone formation, osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption, and osteocytes, the most abundant bone cells, also participate in bone remodeling. All these cells have active metabolic activities, are interconnected and influence each other, having both autocrine and paracrine effects. Ageing is associated with multiple and complex bone metabolic changes, some of which are currently incompletely elucidated. Ageing causes important functional changes in bone metabolism, influencing all resident cells, including the mineralization process of the extracellular matrix. With advancing age, a decrease in bone mass, the appearance of specific changes in the local microarchitecture, a reduction in mineralized components and in load-bearing capacity, as well as the appearance of an abnormal response to different humoral molecules have been observed. The present review points out the most important data regarding the formation, activation, functioning, and interconnection of these bone cells, as well as data on the metabolic changes that occur due to ageing.

Abstract
The relationship between lipid metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) is still not fully elucidated. Despite the presence of investigations using osteoporotic animal models, clinical studies in humans are limited. In this work, untargeted lipidomics profiling using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of human serum samples was performed to identify the lipidomics profile associated with low bone mineral density (LBMD), with a subsequent examination of potential biomarkers related to OP risk prediction or progression. A total of 69 participants were recruited for this cohort study, including the osteoporotic group (OP, n = 25), osteopenia group (ON, n = 22), and control (Ctrl, n = 22). The LBMD group included OP and ON patients. The lipidomics effect of confounding factors such as age, gender, lipid profile, body mass index (BMD), chronic diseases, and medications was excluded from the dataset. The results showed a clear group separation and clustering between LBMD and Ctrl (Q2 = 0.944, R2 = 0.991), indicating a significant difference in the lipids profile. In addition, 322 putatively identified lipid molecules were dysregulated, with 163 up- and 159 down-regulated in LBMD, compared with the Ctrl. The most significantly dysregulated subclasses were phosphatidylcholines (PC) (n = 81, 25.16% of all dysregulated lipids 322), followed by triacylglycerol (TG) (n = 65, 20.19%), and then phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (n = 40, 12.42%). In addition, groups of glycerophospholipids, including LPC (7.45%), LPE (5.59%), and PI (2.48%) were also dysregulated as of LBMD. These findings provide insights into the lipidomics alteration involved in bone remodeling and LBMD. and may drive the development of therapeutic targets and nutritional strategies for OP management.

Integrative Analysis of Exosomal miR-452 and miR-4713 Downregulating NPY1R for the Prevention of Childhood Obesity. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:2843353. [PMID: 35401881 PMCID: PMC8986441 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2843353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Neuropeptides are associated with childhood obesity and exploring their regulatory mechanisms may reveal new insights for novel treatments. Childhood obesity data were downloaded from the GEO database and were used to screen for differentially expressed neuropeptides in patients with obesity. NPY1R expression was significantly upregulated in children with obesity compared to children without obesity (p < 0.05). The GEO database was used to filter differentially expressed miRNAs in patients with obesity. And hsa-mir-4713 and hsa-mir-452 were found significantly downregulated in adipose tissue. The GEO, TRRUST, and TFacts databases were used to screen all transcription factors for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The potential regulatory networks between the differentially expressed miRNAs, TFs, and neuropeptides were mapped. In the constructed NPY1R regulatory network, the transcription factors TCF4, HEY1, and GATA3 are significantly associated with NPY1R. TCF4 and HEY1 were positively correlated with NPY1R, while GATA3 was negatively correlated with NPY1R. In the clinical peripheral blood samples, NPY1R, TCF4, and HEY1 were significantly more expressed in the obesity and the obesity with fracture group compared to the control group, while there was no statistically significant difference between the obesity group and the obesity with fracture group in terms of expression. The expression of GATA3, miR-452, and miR-4713 was also significantly lower in the obesity and the obesity with fracture groups when compared to the NC group. Therefore, NPY1R, TCF4, HEY1, GATA3, miR-452, and miR-4713 may be risk factors for fracture in obese children. The potential NPY1R regulatory function was exerted by two pathways: positive regulation caused by TCF4 and HEY1 acting on miR-4713 and negative regulation via GATA3 acting on miR-452. Potential NPY1R-related targets for the treatment of childhood obesity were provided in this study.

Abstract
One of the most common lipids in the human body is palmitic acid (PA), a saturated fatty acid with essential functions in brain cells. PA is used by cells as an energy source, besides being a precursor of signaling molecules and protein tilting across the membrane. Although PA plays physiological functions in the brain, its excessive accumulation leads to detrimental effects on brain cells, causing lipotoxicity. This mechanism involves the activation of toll-like receptors (TLR) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathways, with the consequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and autophagy impairment. Importantly, some of the cellular changes induced by PA lead to an augmented susceptibility to the development of Alzheimer's and Parkinson´s diseases. Considering the complexity of the response to PA and the intrinsic differences of the brain, in this review, we provide an overview of the molecular and cellular effects of PA on different brain cells and their possible relationships with neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). Furthermore, we propose the use of other fatty acids, such as oleic acid or linoleic acid, as potential therapeutic approaches against NDs, as these fatty acids can counteract PA's negative effects on cells.

Abstract
Background/Objectives Owing to accelerated population aging, health in older adults is becoming increasingly important. Frailty can reflect the health status and disease risks of older adults; however, appropriate biomarkers for early screening of frailty have not been identified. Here, we applied metabolomics to identify frailty biomarkers and potential pathogenic mechanisms of frailty. Methods Serum metabolic profiles from 25 frail and 49 non-frail (control) older adults were systematically investigated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Results We identified 349 metabolites of 46 classes, with four increased and seven decreased metabolites in frail older adults. Pearson correlation analysis identified 11 and 21 metabolites that were positively and negatively correlated with grip strength, and 7 and 76 metabolites that were positively and negatively correlated with gait speed, respectively. Pathway analysis identified 10 metabolite sets and 13 pathways significantly associated with one or more frailty phenotype criteria. Conclusion These results revealed the metabolite characteristics of serum in frail older adults. Intermediates of carbohydrate metabolism (e.g., isocitrate, malate, fumarate, cis-aconitate, glucuronate, and pyruvate), saturated fatty acids (e.g., palmitic acid), unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., arachidonate and linoleic acid), and certain essential amino acids (e.g., tryptophan) may be candidate biomarkers for the early diagnosis of frailty. Mitochondrial function disorders, saturated fatty acid-mediated lipotoxicity, aberrant unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, and increased tryptophan degradation could be potential mechanisms of frailty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, the drive towards high-field MRI is fueled by the pursuit of higher signal-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, and imaging speed. However, high field strength is associated with field inhomogeneity, acceleration of T2 * decay, and increased chemical shift, which may pose challenges to conventional MRI for fat quantification in complex tissues such as bone marrow. With proton MRI spectroscopy (1 H-MRS), on the other hand, it is difficult to produce high resolution. As a novel alternative fat quantification method, high-resolution Z-spectral MRI (ZS-MRI) can achieve fat quantification by acquiring direct saturated images of both fat and water under the same TE , which may be less affected by T2 * decay and field inhomogeneity. PURPOSE To demonstrate ZS-MRI for marrow adipose tissue (MAT) quantification in rat's lumbar spine and the early detection of MAT changes with age. METHODS The accuracy of ZS-MRI for fat quantification at ultra-high-field MRI (7 T) was verified with MRS and conventional Dixon MRI in water-oil mixed phantoms with varying fat fraction (FF). Dixon MRI data were processed with iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation. ZS-MRI was then used to longitudinally monitor the adiposity in the lumbar spine of young healthy rats at 13, 17, and 21 weeks to detect the early changes of FF with age in MAT. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of lumbar spines from separated rat groups was performed for verification. RESULTS In ex vivo phantom experiments, both Dixon MRI and ZS-MRI were well correlated with 1 H-MRS for the quantification of FF at 7 T (R > 0.99). Compared with Dixon MRI, ZS-MRI showed reduced image artifacts due to field inhomogeneity and presented better agreement with 1 H-MRS for the early detection of increased MAT due to age at 7 T (ZS-MRI R = 0.78 versus Dixon MRI R = 0.34). The increased MAT FF due to age was confirmed by histology. CONCLUSION ZS-MRI proves itself as an alternative fat quantification method for bone marrow in rats at 7 T.

Abstract
Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) represent 10% of the total fat mass of the human body and serve as an energy reservoir for the skeletal niche. They function as an endocrine organ by actively secreting fatty acids, cytokines, and adipokines. The volume of BMAs increases along with age, osteoporosis and/or obesity. With the rapid development of multi-omic analysis and the advance in in vivo imaging technology, further distinct characteristics and functions of BMAs have been revealed. There is accumulating evidence that BMAs are metabolically, biologically and functionally unique from white, brown, beige and pink adipocytes. Bone metastatic disease is an uncurable complication in cancer patients, where primary cancer cells spread from their original site into the bone marrow. Recent publications have highlighted those BMAs could also serve as a rich lipid source of fatty acids that can be utilized by the cancer cells during bone metastasis, particularly for breast, prostate, lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancer as well as melanoma. In this review, we summarize the novel progressions in BMAs metabolism, especially with multi-omic analysis and in vivo imaging technology. We also update the metabolic role of BMAs in bone metastasis, and their potential new avenues for diagnosis and therapies against metastatic cancers.

Abstract
Recognized for nearly 100 years, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) form bone marrow niches that contain hematopoietic and bone cells, the roles of which have long been underestimated. Distinct from canonical white, brown, and beige adipocytes, BMAs derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells possess unique characteristics and functions. Recent single-cell sequencing studies have revealed the differentiation pathway, and seminal works support the tenet that BMAs are critical regulators in hematopoiesis, osteogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. In this review, we discuss the origin and differentiation of BMAs, as well as the roles of BMAs in hematopoiesis, osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and immune regulation. Overall, BMAs represent a novel target for bone marrow-related diseases, including osteoporosis and leukemia.

[PMID: 34906775 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Human fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) has become a potential therapeutic target for metabolic-related diseases. However, the effects of FGF19 on obesity-induced bone loss have not been completely elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of FGF19 in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed obese mice and palmitic acid (PA)-treated osteoblasts and to further explore its underlying mechanisms. In vivo, we found that FGF19 alleviated the decreased bone mineral density (BMD) induced by HFD. Micro-CT analysis of femur samples and histological analysis indicated that FGF19 alleviated HFD-induced loss of bone trabeculae and damage to the bone trabecular structure. In vitro, the results suggested that FGF19 ameliorated the PA-induced decline in osteoblast proliferation, increased cell death and impaired cell morphology. Additionally, FGF19 protected against the decline in activation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and protein expression of Collagen-1, Runx-2, and osteopontin (OPN) induced by PA. Furthermore, FGF19 might enhance osteogenic differentiation via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inhibit osteoclastogenesis by regulating the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) axis, thus attenuating the negative effect of PA in osteoblasts. In conclusion, our results suggested that FGF19 might promote osteogenic differentiation partially through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and alleviate obesity-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) has been considered for several decades as a silent bystander that fills empty space left in bone marrow following age-related decrease in hematopoiesis. However, recently new discoveries revealed BMAT as a secretory and metabolically active organ contributing to bone and whole-body energy metabolism. BMAT exhibits metabolic functions distinct from extramedullary adipose depots, relevant to its role in regulation of energy metabolism and its contribution to fracture risk observed in metabolic bone diseases. This review discusses novel insights of BMAT with particular emphasis on its contribution to the regulation of bone homeostasis. We also discuss the role of BMAT in regulation of fuel utilization and energy use that affect skeletal stem cell functions.

Abstract
In recent years, adipose tissue has attracted a lot of attention. It is not only an energy reservoir but also plays important immune, paracrine and endocrine roles. BMAT (bone marrow adipose tissue) is a heterogeneous tissue, found mostly in the medullary canal of the long bones (tibia, femur and humerus), in the vertebrae and iliac crest. Adipogenesis in bone marrow cavities is a consequence of ageing or may accompany pathologies like diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM), T2DM, anorexia nervosa, oestrogen and growth hormone deficiencies or impaired haematopoiesis and osteoporosis. This paper focuses on studies concerning BMAT and its physiology in dietary interventions, like obesity in humans and high fat diet in rodent studies; and opposite: anorexia nervosa and calorie restriction in animal models.

Abstract
Bone fragility and obesity are both diseases that are multifactorial in etiology and pathology. The contributing role of high fat diet (HFD) versus energy overconsumption on bone health is controversial. Exercise is often prescribed for improving bone health, but it is unclear whether HFD or overconsumption influences skeletal adaptations to exercise. Female and male Wistar rats were fed HFD or low fat diet (LFD) for 10 weeks, starting at 8 weeks of age. Within HFD, rats were labeled Obesity-Resistant (OR) or Obesity-Prone (OP) based on weight and fat gain. Within each diet and phenotype group, rats were randomized to treadmill exercise or sedentary control (SED) for the final 4 weeks. Femurs were assessed for fracture toughness. Cortical lamellar and nonlamellar bone microscale material behavior and chemistry were assessed using nanoindentation and Raman spectroscopy. Female bones had higher fracture toughness and mineral: matrix ratio than male bones. Diet and energy overconsumption affected bone characteristics in a sex-dependent manner, where the divergence between OP and OR in response to HFD occurred more rapidly in males. Diet composition, in general, had a stronger effect on bone quality than overconsumption. HFD dramatically decreased bone size and lamellar mineral:matrix compared to LFD. Effects of short-term exercise training on microscale tissue properties were generally more robust with LFD. Exercise enhanced the contrast between lamellar and nonlamellar bone for nanoindentation modulus but decreased this contrast for plastic work. Our data demonstrate the complexities in the relationship between diet and obesity and highlight the importance of addressing both aspects when characterizing bone quality and fracture resistance.

Intersite reliability of vertebral bone marrow lipidomics-derived lipid composition among children with varying degrees of bone fragility undergoing routine orthopedic surgery. Bone 2021; 143:115633. [PMID: 32927104 PMCID: PMC7770023 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipidomics, a branch of metabolomics, is an attractive technique to characterize bone marrow lipid composition, which may be associated with skeletal acquisition and homeostasis. However, the reliability of lipidomics-derived lipid composition of the bone marrow is unknown, especially for pediatric populations with bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intersite reliability and standard error of measurement (SEM) of vertebral bone marrow lipid composition at the thoracic (T11/T12) and lumbar (L1/L2) spine determined by targeted lipidomics among children with varying degrees of bone fragility undergoing routine orthopedic surgery. METHODS Children aged between 12 and 19 years of age, with a confirmed diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis or neuromuscular scoliosis and cerebral palsy, and undergoing routine posterior spinal fusion surgery at our institution were initially included in this study. Transpedicular vertebral body bone marrow samples were taken from thoracic (T) or lumbar (L) vertebrae. Further inclusion criteria involved having bone marrow extracted from both T11 and T12 (n = 24) or L1 and L2 (n = 19). Lipid composition was measured using a targeted lipidomics technique and examined as the saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated index and as individual fatty acids. Relative and absolute test-retest reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and SEM. RESULTS For the T11/T12 analysis: the ICC and SEM were 0.59 and 1.7% for the saturated index, 0.31 and 6.2% for the monounsaturated index, and 0.44 and 6.1% for the polyunsaturated index; the ICC showed a considerable range for individual fatty acids from 0.07 (fatty acid 20:2) to 0.82 (15:0) with 62.1% of the fatty acids having poor reliability (i.e., ICC < 0.50). For the L1/L2 analysis: the ICC and SEM were 0.50 and 2.4% for the saturated index, -0.12 and 6.0% for the monounsaturated index, and 0.00 and 4.9% for the polyunsaturated index; the ICC showed a considerable range for individual fatty acids from -0.34 (18:1_n-9) to 0.88 (15:0 and 18:3_n-3) with 79.3% of the fatty acids having poor reliability. CONCLUSIONS The intersite test-retest reliability was poor-to-moderate for index measures and generally poor for individual fatty acids for the thoracic and lumbar spine. At this time, it is not recommended to pool bone marrow adipose tissue across vertebral sites for bone marrow adiposity research or clinical monitoring for pediatric populations with bone fragility.

Abstract
The influence of hyperlipidemia on titanium implant osseointegration and the underlying mechanisms is not well understood. This study investigates the changes in osseointegration and explores the potential mechanisms in hyperlipidemia conditions. In vivo, specialized titanium implants were implanted in the femurs of diet-induced or genetic hyperlipidemia mice. In vitro, primary murine osteoblasts were cultured on the titanium surface in high-fat medium. Results showed that hyperlipidemia led to poor osseointegration in both types of mice in vivo, and high-fat medium impaired the osteogenic differentiation of primary osteoblasts on the titanium surface in vitro. In addition, high-fat medium caused significant overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in osteoblasts. Both N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, an ROS antagonist) and Wnt3a (an activator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway) attenuated the poor osteogenic ability of osteoblasts. In addition, NAC reactivated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in osteoblasts under high-fat stimulation. These results demonstrate that hyperlipidemia impairs osseointegration via the ROS/Wnt/β-catenin pathway and provide support for the ROS or Wnt/β-catenin pathway as a promising therapeutic target for the development of novel drugs or implant materials to improve the osseointegration of implants in hyperlipidemic patients.

Abstract
The existence of a common mesenchymal cell progenitor shared by bone, skeletal muscle, and adipocytes cell progenitors, makes the role of the skeleton in energy metabolism no longer surprising. Thus, bone fragility could also be seen as a consequence of a “poor” quality in nutrition. Ketogenic diet was originally proven to be effective in epilepsy, and long-term follow-up studies on epileptic children undergoing a ketogenic diet reported an increased incidence of bone fractures and decreased bone mineral density. However, the causes of such negative impacts on bone health have to be better defined. In these subjects, the concomitant use of antiepileptic drugs and the reduced mobilization may partly explain the negative effects on bone health, but little is known about the effects of diet itself, and/or generic alterations in vitamin D and/or impaired growth factor production. Despite these remarks, clinical studies were adequately designed to investigate bone health are scarce and bone health related aspects are not included among the various metabolic pathologies positively influenced by ketogenic diets. Here, we provide not only a narrative review on this issue, but also practical advice to design and implement clinical studies on ketogenic nutritional regimens and bone health outcomes. Perspectives on ketogenic regimens, microbiota, microRNAs, and bone health are also included.

Bone 2021; 142:115702.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is evidence that the extent of vertebral bone marrow adiposity increases caudally along the vertebral column in children and adolescents. However, no studies have examined the lipid composition of bone marrow along the vertebral column, which may uniquely influence bone acquisition and metabolism during growth independent of the amount of bone marrow adipose tissue. The goal of this study was to characterize the pattern of lipid composition index measures from the thoracic to lumbar spine (T11-L4) among a sample of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) undergoing routine orthopedic surgical care for scoliosis correction. METHODS Adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age, with a confirmed diagnosis of AIS, and undergoing routine posterior spinal fusion surgery at our institution were initially included for this descriptive study. The surgery yielded transpedicular vertebral body marrow samples from T11 through L4; 11 participants had bone marrow samples from T11 through L2 and 4 of the 11 participants had marrow samples from T11 through L4. Lipid composition index measures, including the saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated index, were measured using a targeted lipidomics technique. Linear regression equation for the slope (m) and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was computed to assess the pattern of lipid composition index measures along the vertebral column from T11 to L2 (n = 11) and extended analysis to L4. Exploratory analyses were performed to examine the association between the pattern of lipid composition measures (individual slopes) and physical characteristics for T11-L2. RESULTS For T11-L2, the slope of the saturated index was near 0 (r = 0.08; P = 0.92), whereas the slopes of the unsaturated indices were approximately opposite of one another: the monounsaturated index exhibited a -0.55 change (r = 0.58; P = 0.42) per vertebra and the polyunsaturated index exhibited a 0.52 change (r = 0.72; P = 0.28) per vertebra in the caudal direction from T11-L2. For T11-L4, there were modest changes in slope for the saturated (m = 0.12; r = 0.30; P = 0.57) and monounsaturated (m = -0.68; r = 0.74; P = 0.09) indices, while the polyunsaturated index slope remained similar (m = 0.56; r = 0.89; P = 0.02). Age, sex, height, body mass, and BMI were not associated with the pattern of any of the lipid composition index measures. CONCLUSIONS Study findings in this small sample of individuals with AIS suggest that the bone marrow saturated index may be relatively stable across T11-L4, while the monounsaturated index may decrease by 0.55-0.68% per vertebra and the polyunsaturated index may increase by 0.52-0.56% per vertebra in the caudal direction.

Abstract
Contributing to bone loss with aging is a progressive reduction in osteoblast number and function leading to decreased bone formation. In aging bone, mesenchymal stem cells decrease in number and their differentiation potential into osteoblasts is reduced. Instead, there is a shift towards adipogenic differentiation and increased lipid accumulation in the marrow of osteoporotic bones. Bone marrow adipocytes produce palmitic acid (PA), a saturated fatty acid, which is toxic to osteoblasts in vitro. Vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) stimulates osteoblastogenesis and has known anti-apoptotic effects on osteoblasts, as such it may protect human primary osteoblasts from PA-induced lipotoxicity. Here, the effects of PA (250 μM) or 1,25(OH)2D3 (10-8 M), alone or in combination, on osteoblast differentiation and mineralization, viability and autophagy were investigated. In PA-treated osteoblasts, 1,25(OH)2D3 ameliorated the decrease in the mRNA transcript abundance of representative palmitoylation (ZDHHC1, ZDHHC2 and ZDHHC12) and osteogenic (alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin) genes. Collectively these gene regulate signaling pathways pertinent to osteoblastogenesis. In osteoblasts treated with PA and 1,25(OH)2D3, the capacity to undergo differentiation and mineralization was recovered and cell viability was increased when compared to osteoblasts treated with PA alone. 1,25(OH)2D3, irrespective of PA treatment, increased the expression of key osteogenic signaling proteins; specifically, SMAD1-3,5, Runx2 and β-catenin. 1,25(OH)2D3 also attenuated the high level of impaired autophagy induced by PA and potentiated a shift towards activated, functional autophagy and increased flux through autolysosomes. Altogether, these findings provide in vitro evidence regarding the potential of 1,25(OH)2D3 to protect osteoblasts from lipotoxicity by modulating autophagy and facilitating cell differentiation, which may enhance bone formation in an osteoporotic microenvironment with a high level of marrow adipose tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of obesity on the tissue and molecular reactions of alveolar bone in response to orthodontic force and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Sixty-four rats were randomly divided into normal diet (ND) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups for eight weeks of dietary treatment. OTM was induced using nickel-titanium springs between the upper left first molar and incisor. After 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of OTM, the maxillary alveolar bone and gingival tissues were harvested and analyzed. RESULTS Compared with the ND rats, the HFD rats had greater OTM distance, serum levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), as well as significant alveolar bone loss and bone architecture deterioration on both the compression and tension sides (p < .05 for all). This response was linked to the increased osteoclast numbers and functional activity and decreased osteoblast activity in the periodontal ligament, gingival tissue, and alveolar bone. CONCLUSIONS HFD-induced obesity promoted mechanically induced alveolar bone remodeling and detrimental changes in alveolar bone microstructure by increasing osteoclastogenesis and regulating inflammatory cytokine expression. The increased alveolar bone remodeling in the obese rats lead to an accelerated OTM.

Effect of Qing'e Decoction on Leptin/Leptin Receptor and Bone Metabolism in Naturally Aging Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:2532081. [PMID: 33014100 PMCID: PMC7520685 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2532081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Senile osteoporosis (SOP) is a common disease that has decreased bone strength as its main symptom. There is currently no medication that can treat SOP, and traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in slowing down bone aging. The present study aimed to observe the effects of Qing'e decoction on leptin, leptin receptor, sex hormone, and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in naturally aging rats and to explore its mechanism in regulating bone metabolism. The results revealed that, with the increase in age, the bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, bone trabecula sparse, serum levels of leptin receptor (LEP-R), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), core binding-factor α-1 (Cbfα-1), collagen-I (COL-I) and osteocalcin (OC), and the mRNA levels of leptin (LEP) and LEP-R in bone tissue decreased, while serum LEP levels increased in the female and male NS groups. The serum levels of LEP, LEP-R, E2, T, osteoprotegerin, Cbfα-1, COL-I, OC and bone alkaline phosphatase, and the mRNA levels of LEP and LEP-R in bone tissue in the female and male QED groups were higher than those in the same age and sex NS group, while the BMD, bone trabecular area percentage, maximum load, and maximum stress in the female and male QED groups were significantly higher than those in the same age and sex NS group. In conclusion, with the increase in age, the bone quality of naturally aging rats decreased gradually. Qing'e decoction can regulate the bone metabolism and increase the bone quality and delay bone aging, which may be achieved by increasing sex hormone, LEP, and LEP-R levels.

Test-Retest Reliability and Correlates of Vertebral Bone Marrow Lipid Composition by Lipidomics Among Children With Varying Degrees of Bone Fragility. JBMR Plus 2020; 4:e10400. [PMID: 33103029 PMCID: PMC7574707 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The reliability of lipidomics, an approach to identify the presence and interactions of lipids, to analyze the bone marrow lipid composition among pediatric populations with bone fragility is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the test–retest reliability, standard error of measurement (SEM), and the minimal detectable change (MDC) of vertebral bone marrow lipid composition determined by targeted lipidomics among children with varying degrees of bone fragility undergoing routine orthopedic surgery. Children aged 10 to 19 years, with a confirmed diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (n = 13) or neuromuscular scoliosis and cerebral palsy (n = 3), undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery at our institution were included in this study. Transpedicular vertebral body bone marrow samples were taken from thoracic vertebrae (T11, 12) or lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L4). Lipid composition was assessed via targeted lipidomics and all samples were analyzed in the same batch. Lipid composition measures were examined as the saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated index and as individual fatty acids. Relative and absolute test–retest reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), SEM, and MDC. Associations between demographics and index measures were explored. The ICC, SEM, and MDC were 0.81 (95% CI, 0.55–0.93), 1.6%, and 4.3%, respectively, for the saturated index, 0.66 (95% CI, 0.25–0.87), 3.5%, and 9.7%, respectively, for the monounsaturated index, and 0.60 (95% CI, 0.17–0.84), 3.6%, and 9.9%, respectively, for the polyunsaturated index. For the individual fatty acids, the ICC showed a considerable range from 0.04 (22:2n‐6) to 0.97 (18:3n‐3). Age was positively correlated with the saturated index (r2 = 0.36; p = 0.014) and negatively correlated with the polyunsaturated index (r2 = 0.26; p = 0.043); there was no difference in index measures by sex (p > 0.58). The test–retest reliability was moderate‐to‐good for index measures and poor to excellent for individual fatty acids; this information can be used to power research studies and identify measures for clinical or research monitoring. © 2020 The Authors.

Effect of long term palmitate treatment on osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells - Impact of albumin. Bone Rep 2020; 13:100707. [PMID: 32913884 PMCID: PMC7472858 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2020.100707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The long-term effects of palmitate (PA) on osteogenic differentiation capacity of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) were investigated by cultivating the cells in osteogenic differentiation medium (O-w/o) and osteogenic medium containing PA (O-BSA-PA) for 21 days. Osteogenic medium containing BSA (O-BSA) was used as a control. By means of rt-qPCR, successful osteogenic differentiation was observed in the O-w/o regarding the levels of osteogenic and cell-communication related genes (OCN, Col1, BMP2, ITGA1, ITGB1, Cx43, sp1) in contrast to expression levels observed in cells incubated within basal medium. However, in the O-BSA, these genes were found to have decreased significantly. In cases of Cx43 and sp1, PA significantly reinforced the reductive effect of BSA alone. O-BSA notably decreased glucose and pyruvate consumption, whereas glutamine consumption significantly increased. In comparison to O-BSA addition of PA significantly reduced glycolysis and glutaminolysis. ToF-SIMS analysis confirmed increased incorporation of supplemented deuterated PA into the cell membranes, while the overall PA-concentration remained unchanged compared to cells incubated in the O-BSA and O-w/o. Therefore, the effects on gene expression and the metabolism did not result from the membrane alterations, but may have risen from inter- and intracellular effects brought on by BSA and PA.

Abstract
The increasing levels of bone marrow fat evident in aging and osteoporosis are associated with low bone mass and attributed to reduced osteoblastogenesis. Local lipotoxicity has been proposed as the primary mechanism driving this reduction in bone formation. However, no studies have examined the correlation between high levels of marrow fat volumes and changes in local cellularity. In this study, we hypothesize that areas of bone marrow with high fat volumes are associated with significant changes in cell number within a similar region of interest (ROI). Inbred albino Louvain (LOU) rats, originating from the Wistar strain, have been described as a model of healthy aging with the absence of obesity but expressing the typical features of age-related bone loss. We compared local changes in distal femur cellularity and structure in specific ROI of undecalcified bone sections from 4- and 20-month-old male and female LOU rats and Wistar controls. Our results confirmed that older LOU rats exhibited significantly higher fat volumes than Wistar rats (p < 0.001). These higher fat volume/total volume were associated with lower trabecular number (p < 0.05) and thickness (p < 0.05) and higher trabecular separation (p < 0.05). In addition, osteoblast and osteocyte numbers were reduced in the similar ROI containing high levels of adiposity, while osteoclast number was higher compared to control (p < 0.03). In summary, marrow ROIs with a high level of adiposity were associated with a lower bone mass and changes in cellularity explaining associated bone loss. Further studies assessing the levels of lipotoxicity in areas of high local marrow adiposity and identifying molecular actors involved in this phenomenon are still required.

Abstract
Fatty acids and glucose are the main substrates for myocardial energy provision. Under physiologic conditions, there is a distinct and finely tuned balance between the utilization of these substrates. Using the non-ischemic heart as an example, we discuss that upon stress this substrate balance is upset resulting in an over-reliance on either fatty acids or glucose, and that chronic fuel shifts towards a single type of substrate appear to be linked with cardiac dysfunction. These observations suggest that interventions aimed at re-balancing a tilted substrate preference towards an appropriate mix of substrates may result in restoration of cardiac contractile performance. Examples of manipulating cellular substrate uptake as a means to re-balance fuel supply, being associated with mended cardiac function underscore this concept. We also address the molecular mechanisms underlying the apparent need for a fatty acid-glucose fuel balance. We propose that re-balancing cellular fuel supply, in particular with respect to fatty acids and glucose, may be an effective strategy to treat the failing heart.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of palmitate on human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). DESIGN PDLSCs were isolated from the third molars of healthy adult donors, and cultured in normal or osteogenic medium supplemented with palmitate (0, 100, or 250 μM) for 21 days. Cell proliferation was evaluated by measuring the amount of formazan at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h. Apoptosis was detected by ELISA and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay at days 3 and 7. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, production of procollagen type I C-peptide and osteocalcin, mineralization, and mRNA expression of Runx2 at days 3, 7, 14, and 21. In addition, mRNA expression of IL-6 and IL-8 was measured at day 3. RESULTS Palmitate inhibited the proliferation, ALP activity, production of procollagen type I C-peptide and osteocalcin, mineralization, and mRNA expression of Runx2 in the cultured PDLSCs. Palmitate also induced apoptosis and mRNA expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in the PDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study demonstrate that palmitate induces apoptosis and inhibits osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. These findings may help clarify the relationship between palmitate and periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a prevalent skeletal disorder associated with menopause-related estrogen withdrawal. PMOP is characterized by low bone mass, deterioration of the skeletal microarchitecture, and subsequent increased susceptibility to fragility fractures, thus contributing to disability and mortality. Accumulating evidence indicates that abnormal expansion of marrow adipose tissue (MAT) plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of PMOP, in part because both bone marrow adipocytes and osteoblasts share a common ancestor lineage. The cohabitation of MAT adipocytes, mesenchymal stromal cells, hematopoietic cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the bone marrow creates a microenvironment that permits adipocytes to act directly on other cell types in the marrow. Furthermore, MAT, which is recognized as an endocrine organ, regulates bone remodeling through the secretion of adipokines and cytokines. Although an enhanced MAT volume is linked to low bone mass and fractures in PMOP, the detailed interactions between MAT and bone metabolism remain largely unknown. In this review, we examine the possible mechanisms of MAT expansion under estrogen withdrawal and further summarize emerging findings regarding the pathological roles of MAT in bone remodeling. We also discuss the current therapies targeting MAT in osteoporosis. A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between MAT expansion and bone metabolism in estrogen deficiency conditions will provide new insights into potential therapeutic targets for PMOP.

Abstract
Because of heavy energy demands to maintain bone homeostasis, the skeletal system is closely tied to whole-body metabolism via neuronal and hormonal mediators. Glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids are the chief fuel sources for bone resident cells during its remodeling. Lipids, which can be mobilized from intracellular depots in the bone marrow, can be a potent source of fatty acids. Thus, while it has been suggested that adipocytes in the bone marrow act as "filler" and are detrimental to skeletal homeostasis, we propose that marrow lipids are, in fact, essential for proper bone functioning. As such, we examine the prevailing evidence regarding the storage, use, and export of lipids within the skeletal niche, including from both in vitro and in vivo model systems. We also highlight the numerous challenges that remain to fully appreciate the relationship of lipid turnover to skeletal homeostasis.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of combined exposure to low-dose cadmium and high-fat diet on femoral bone quality in male mice. Eight-week-old male SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (Con), low-cadmium group (Cd), high-fat diet group (HFD), and high-fat diet plus low-dose cadmium group (HFD + Cd); the second and fourth groups were treated intraperitoneally with CdCl2 (1.0 mg/kg body weight) twice weekly for 20 weeks. Assays related to bone quality were performed. Body weight of HFD plus Cd mice was significantly lower than HFD mice. Femoral length was not different among groups, but femoral weight was decreased in the HFD plus Cd group compared with other three groups. Level of Cd in bone was significantly increased in HFD plus Cd group. There was no difference in cortical BMD among groups; however, cortical bone quality parameters were decreased in HFD plus Cd group. Cd and HFD each reduced trabecular bone quality and together had further detrimental effects on these bone parameters. Based on biomechanical analysis, femoral bone strength was decreased, being more brittle and less resistant to biomechanical forces in the HFD plus Cd mice. HFD plus Cd mice had lower OPG mRNA expression and higher RANKL mRNA expression than others. HFD or Cd can cause adverse effects on bone and together had further detrimental effects associated with RANKL/OPG signaling.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a condition where bone resorption exceeds bone formation leading to degeneration. With an aging population, the prevalence of osteoporosis is on the rise. Although advances in the field have made progress in targeting the mechanisms of the disease, the efficacy of current treatments remains limited and is complicated by unexpected side effects. Therefore, to overcome this treatment gap, new approaches are needed to identify and elucidate the cellular mechanisms mediating the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, which requires a strong understanding of bone biology. This chapter will focus on bone cells (osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes) and their role in the bone turnover process in normal physiology and in pathology. With regard to osteoclast function, the regulators and underpinning signaling pathways leading to bone resorption will be discussed. Decreased osteoblastogenesis also contributes to bone deterioration with aging and osteoporosis; hence the factors and signaling pathways mediating osteoblast formation and function will be examined. Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts embedded in bone matrix and act as endocrine cells; their role in bone health and pathology will also be reviewed. In addition, this chapter will explore the emerging role of adipocytes in bone biology and the implications of increased bone marrow fat infiltration with aging on bone degeneration. In conclusion, a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis is of utmost importance in order to develop more effective treatments for osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporotic fractures represent a growing burden of mortality, morbidity and socioeconomic cost to health-care systems worldwide. Osteoporosis is a disease uniquely associated with aging, therefore, an understanding of the physiological mechanisms underpinning its development as we age may open new avenues for therapeutic exploitation. Novel treatments, as well as refinement of the current approaches, are vital in the effort to sustain healthy, independent patients across the lifespan.Areas covered: This review covers the anabolic and catabolic pathways seen in bone maintenance, highlighting how they are changed with age, leading to osteoporosis. It will also discuss how these changes may be targeted therapeutically, in the development of new therapies, and the refinement of those already in use.Expert opinion: New effective and safe treatments for osteoporosis are still needed. Bone anabolics seem to be the most appropriate therapeutic approach to osteoporosis in older persons. Considering that bone and muscle mass synchronically decline with aging thus predisposing older persons to falls and fractures, combined therapeutic approaches to osteosarcopenia with a dual anabolic effect on muscle and bone will be a major advance in the treatment of these devastating conditions in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The development of adiposity in the bone marrow, known as marrow adipose tissue (MAT), is often associated with musculoskeletal frailty. Glucocorticoids, which are a key component of the biological response to stress, affect both bone and MAT. These molecules signal through receptors such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), but the role of the GR in regulation of MAT is not yet clear from previous studies. The purpose of this review is to establish and determine the role of GR-mediated signaling in marrow adiposity by comparing and contrasting what is known against other energy-storing tissues like adipose tissue, liver, and muscle, to provide better insight into the regulation of MAT during times of metabolic stress (e.g., dietary challenges, aging). RECENT FINDINGS GR-mediated glucocorticoid signaling is critical for proper storage and utilization of lipids in cells such as adipocytes and hepatocytes and proteolysis in muscle, impacting whole-body composition, energy utilization, and homeostasis through a complex network of tissue cross talk between these systems. Loss of GR signaling in bone promotes increased MAT and decreased bone mass. GR-mediated signaling in the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle is critical for whole-body energy and metabolic homeostasis, and both similarities and differences in GR-mediated GC signaling in MAT as compared with these tissues are readily apparent. It is clear that GC-induced pathways work together through these tissues to affect systemic biology, and understanding the role of bone in these patterns of tissue cross talk may lead to a better understanding of MAT-bone biology that improves treatment strategies for frailty-associated diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The age-related accumulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) negatively impacts bone metabolism and hematopoiesis. This review provides an overview about BMAT-secreted factors as biomarkers for BMAT accumulation and osteoporosis risk. RECENT FINDINGS The adipokines leptin and adiponectin are regulators of BMAT. It remains to be clarified if locally produced adipokines substantially contribute to their peripheral serum levels and if they influence bone metabolism beyond that of extraosseous adipokine production. Existing data also suggests that BMAT disturbs bone metabolism primarily through palmitate-mediated toxic effects on osteoblasts and osteocytes, including dysregulated autophagy and apoptosis. BMAT-secreted factors are important modulators of bone metabolism. However, the majority of our understanding about MAT-secreted factors and their paracrine and endocrine effects is derived from in vitro studies and animal experiments. Therefore, more research is needed before BMAT-secreted biomarkers can be applied in medical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The significance and roles of marrow adipose tissue (MAT) are increasingly known, and it is no more considered a passive fat storage but a tissue with significant paracrine and endocrine activities that can cause lipotoxicity and inflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Changes in the MAT volume and fatty acid composition appear to drive bone and hematopoietic marrow deterioration, and studying it may open new horizons to predict bone fragility and anemia development. MAT has the potential to negatively impact bone volume and strength through several mechanisms that are partially described by inflammaging and lipotoxicity terminology. Evidence indicates paramount importance of MAT in age-associated decline of bone and red marrow structure and function. Currently, MAT measurement is being tested and validated by several techniques. However, purpose-specific adaptation of existing imaging technologies and, more importantly, development of new modalities to quantitatively measure MAT are yet to be done.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipotoxicity is defined as cellular toxicity observed in the presence of an abnormal accumulation of fat and adipocyte-derived factors in non-fat tissues. Palmitic acid (PA), an abundant fatty acid in the bone marrow and particularly in osteoporotic bones, affects osteoblastogenesis and osteoblast function, decreasing their survival through induction of apoptosis and dysfunctional autophagy. In this study, we hypothesized that PA also has a lipotoxic effect on osteocytes in vitro. METHODS Initially, we tested the effect of PA on osteocyte-derived factors DKK1, sclerostin and RANKL. Then, we tested whether PA affects survival and causes apoptosis in osteocytes. Subsequently, we investigated the effect of PA on autophagy by detecting the membrane component LC3-II (Western blot) and staining it and lysosomes with Lysotracker Red dye. RESULTS PA decreases RANKL, DKK1 and sclerostin expression in osteocytes. In addition, we found that PA induces apoptosis and reduces osteocyte survival. PA also caused autophagy failure identified by a significant increase in LC3-II and a reduced number of autophagosomes/lysosomes in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION In addition to the effects of PA on RANKL, DKK1 and sclerostin expression, which could have significant deleterious impact on bone cell coupling and bone turnover, PA also induced apoptosis and reduced autophagy in osteocytes. Considering that apoptosis and cell dysfunction are two common changes occurring in the osteocytes of osteoporotic bone, our findings suggest that PA could play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Suppression of these effects could bring new potential targets for therapeutic interventions in the future.

Abstract
Purpose: Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) expansion and associated lipotoxicity are important drivers of age-related bone loss and hematopoietic bone marrow (HBM) atrophy. Fish oil and borage oil (rich in ω3 fatty acids) can partially prevent aged-related bone loss in SAMP8 mice. However, whether preservation of bone mass in this progeria model is associated with MAT volumes remains unknown. Results: MAT volume fraction (MAT%) showed a negative association with hematopoietic bone marrow (HBM%;r=-0.836, p<0.001) and bone (bone%;r=-0.344, p=0.013) volume fractions. Adjusting for multiple comparisons, bone% was higher and MAT% was lower in Fish oil (FO)-supplemented groups vs. controls (p<0.001). HBM% did not differ significantly between the four groups. However, in the group supplemented with FO, HBM comprised higher fractions and MAT constituted lower fractions of total marrow vs. controls (p<0.001). Conclusion: Feeding FO-enriched diet prevented age-related bone and HBM loss, by reducing MAT expansion. Our results further emphasize on the role(s) of MAT expansion in bone and HBM atrophy. Methods: SAMP8 mice (n>9 /group) were allocated into 4 categories and fed a control ration, FO-, sunflower oil (SFO)- and borage oil-enriched diets for lifetime. Femurs were scanned using microcomputed tomography (μCT) and bone, MAT, and HBM volumes were determined using an image analysis software.

Abstract
Many older persons lose their mobility and independence due to multiple diseases occurring simultaneously. Geroscience is aimed at developing innovative approaches to better identify relationships among the biological processes of aging. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are two of the most prevalent chronic diseases in older people, with both conditions sharing overlapping risk factors and pathogenesis. When occurring together, these diseases form a geriatric syndrome termed "osteosarcopenia," which increases the risk of frailty, hospitalizations, and death. Findings from basic and clinical sciences aiming to understand osteosarcopenia have provided evidence of this syndrome as a case of geroscience. Genetic, endocrine, and mechanical stimuli, in addition to fat infiltration, sedentarism, and nutritional deficiencies, affect muscle and bone homeostasis to characterize this syndrome. However, research is in its infancy regarding accurate diagnostic markers and effective treatments with dual effects on muscle and bone. To date, resistance exercise remains the most promising strategy to increase muscle and bone mass, while sufficient quantities of protein, vitamin D, calcium, and creatine may preserve these tissues with aging. More recent findings, from rodent models, suggest treating ectopic fat in muscle and bone marrow as a possible avenue to curb osteosarcopenia, although this needs testing in human clinical trials.

Abstract
Individuals with cerebral palsy exhibit neuromuscular complications and low physical activity levels. Adults with cerebral palsy exhibit a high prevalence of chronic diseases, which is associated with musculoskeletal deficits. Children with cerebral palsy have poor musculoskeletal accretion accompanied by excess bone marrow fat, which may lead to weaker bones. Mechanistic studies to determine the role of bone marrow fat on skeletal growth and maintenance and how it relates to systemic energy metabolism among individuals with cerebral palsy are lacking. In this review, we highlight the skeletal status in children with cerebral palsy and analyze the existing literature on the interactions among bone marrow fat, skeletal health, and cardiometabolic disease risk in the general population. Clinically vital questions are proposed, including the following: (1) Is the bone marrow fat in children with cerebral palsy metabolically distinct from typically developing children in terms of its lipid and inflammatory composition? (2) Does the bone marrow fat suppress skeletal acquisition? (3) Or, does it accelerate chronic disease development in children with cerebral palsy? (4) If so, what are the mechanisms? In conclusion, although inadequate mechanical loading may initiate poor skeletal development, subsequent expansion of bone marrow fat may further impede skeletal acquisition and increase cardiometabolic disease risk in those with cerebral palsy.

Abstract
Abstract
Bone marrow fat infiltration is one of the hallmarks of aging and osteoporotic bones. Marrow adipocytes produce substantial amounts of palmitic acid (PA). PA is toxic to bone-forming osteoblasts in vitro, affecting their differentiation, function, and survival. Since rapamycin (RAP)-induced inhibition of target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activates autophagy and prevents apoptosis, we hypothesized that RAP may preserve osteoblast viability and reduce PA-induced lipotoxicity. Normal human osteoblasts were incubated with RAP in the presence of a lipotoxic concentration of PA or vehicle for 24 and 48 hours. Expression of LC3 protein levels and the phosphorylation of the direct mTORC1 target p70S6K1-T389 were quantified by Western blot. Lysosomes and autophagosomes were studied using confocal fluorescence imaging, lysotracker, and live-cell imaging. RAP reduced PA-induced apoptosis. In addition, PA-induced autophagosome formation increased substantially over the time-course, an effect that was significantly regulated by the presence of RAP in the media. In addition, LC3I/II ratios were higher in PA-induced cells with RAP whereas p70S6K1-T389 were lower in PA and RAP together. In summary, this study highlights the role of the RAP-sensitive mTORC1 pathway in normal human osteoblasts under lipotoxic conditions. RAP-associated therapies could, potentially, be targeted for specific roles in osteoporosis and aging bone.
