Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of interleukin-23 (IL-23) in pathologic bone remodeling in inflammatory arthritis. METHODS In this study we investigated the role of IL-23 in osteoclast differentiation and activation using in vivo gene transfer techniques in wild-type and myeloid DNAX-activation protein 12-associating lectin-1 (MDL-1)-deficient mice, and by performing in vitro and in vivo osteoclastogenesis assays using spectral flow cytometry, micro-computed tomography analysis, Western blotting, and immunoprecipitation. RESULTS Herein, we show that IL-23 induces the expansion of a myeloid osteoclast precursor population and supports osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in inflammatory arthritis. Genetic ablation of C-type lectin domain family member 5A, also known as MDL-1, prevents the induction of osteoclast precursors by IL-23 that is associated with bone destruction, as commonly observed in inflammatory arthritis. Moreover, osteoclasts derived from the bone marrow of MDL-1-deficient mice showed impaired osteoclastogenesis, and MDL-1-/- mice had increased bone mineral density. CONCLUSION Our data show that IL-23 signaling regulates the availability of osteoclast precursors in inflammatory arthritis that could be effectively targeted for the treatment of inflammatory bone loss in inflammatory arthritis.

Abstract
Bone-resorbing osteoclasts mobilize proteolytic enzymes belonging to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family to directly degrade type I collagen, the dominant extracellular matrix component of skeletal tissues. While searching for additional MMP substrates critical to bone resorption, Mmp9/Mmp14 double-knockout (DKO) osteoclasts-as well as MMP-inhibited human osteoclasts-unexpectedly display major changes in transcriptional programs in tandem with compromised RhoA activation, sealing zone formation and bone resorption. Further study revealed that osteoclast function is dependent on the ability of Mmp9 and Mmp14 to cooperatively proteolyze the β-galactoside-binding lectin, galectin-3, on the cell surface. Mass spectrometry identified the galectin-3 receptor as low-density lipoprotein-related protein-1 (Lrp1), whose targeting in DKO osteoclasts fully rescues RhoA activation, sealing zone formation and bone resorption. Together, these findings identify a previously unrecognized galectin-3/Lrp1 axis whose proteolytic regulation controls both the transcriptional programs and the intracellular signaling cascades critical to mouse as well as human osteoclast function.

Abstract
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble compound widely known for vision health. Highly variable reports on its effects on bone health have necessitated further research to truly understand its role on bone cell proliferation. Retinol, one bioactive form of vitamin A, is incorporated into synthetic bone graft scaffolds for low load-bearing clinical bone treatment. The objective of this work is to understand the effects of retinol on osteoblast and osteoclast cells when embedded within calcium phosphate matrices, including interconnected porous 3D printed tricalcium phosphate scaffolds. Results show that hydrophobic retinol can be released from bone scaffolds when a combination of biodegradable polymers, polycaprolactone and polyethylene glycol, are employed as drug carriers. The release of retinol in vitro can support a 20 ± 1% increase in osteoblast (bone-forming) cell proliferation with proper cell adhesion and filopodial extensions. Osteoclast cell morphology is necrosed and torn with a reduction in proliferation at approximately 6 ± 1% when retinol is present. In addition, inhibition of osteoclastic resorption pit bays is noted using scanning electron microscopy. With the scaffolds' round pore interconnectivity facilitating retinol release, this system can provide an alternative to traditional bone grafts while additionally supporting bone healing through enhanced osteoblast cell proliferation and inhibition of osteoclast resorption activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short-term and long-term steroid contraceptive systems are widely employed in adolescents and premenopausal women; they could induce variation in bone metabolism, but whether these changes increase the overall fracture risk is not yet clear. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic search of scientific publications about "hormonal contraceptives" and "bone metabolism" in reproductive age women was conducted. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS In adolescent girl, combined oral contraceptives could have a deleterious effect on bone health when their onset is within three years after menarche and when they contain ethinyl estradiol at the dose of 20 mcg. In perimenopausal women, steroid contraceptives seem not influence bone health nor increase osteoporotic fractures risk in menopause. The oral progestogens intake is not related to negative effects on skeletal health. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) induce a prolonged hypoestrogenism with secondary detrimental effect on healthy bone; the higher bone loss was observed at the DMPA dose of 150 mg intramuscular such as after long-term DMPA-users. Progestin-based implants and intrauterine devices have not negative effect on bone health. CONCLUSIONS Since sex-steroid drugs induce variations in hormonal circulating concentrations, they may negatively affect bone metabolism. Contraceptive choice should be tailored evaluating any possible effect on bone health. Clinicians should always perform a precontraceptive counselling to identify any coexisting condition that may affect bone health. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Emerging evidence shows that changes in the bone and its microenvironment following radiotherapy are associated with either an inhibition or a state of low bone formation. Ionizing radiation is damaging to the jawbone as it increases the complication rate due to the development of hypovascular, hypocellular, and hypoxic tissue. This review summarizes and correlates the current knowledge on the effects of irradiation on the bone with an emphasis on jawbone, as these have been a less extensively studied area. CONCLUSIONS The stringent regulation of bone formation and bone resorption can be influenced by radiation, causing detrimental effects at structural, cellular, vascular, and molecular levels. It is also associated with a high risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissues and an increased risk of fracture. Technological advances and research on animal models as well as a few human bone tissue studies have provided novel insights into the ways in which bone can be affected by high, low and sublethal dose of radiation. The influence of radiation on bone metabolism, cellular properties, vascularity, collagen, and other factors like inflammation, reactive oxygen species are discussed.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinuclear cells of monocytic lineage, with the ability to resorb bone. Studies in mouse have identified bone marrow clonal progenitors able to generate mature osteoclast cells (OCs) in vitro and in vivo. These osteoclast progenitors (OCPs) can also generate macrophages and dendritic cells. Interestingly, cells with equivalent potential can be detected in periphery. In humans, cells with OCP activity have been identified in bone marrow and periphery; however, their characterization has not been as extensive. We have developed reproducible methods to derive, from human pluripotent stem cells, a population containing monocyte progenitors able to generate functional OCs. Within this population, we have identified cells with monocyte and osteoclast progenitor activity based on CD11b and CD14 expression. A population double positive for CD11b and CD14 contains cells with expected osteoclastic potential. However, the double negative (DN) population, containing most of the hematopoietic progenitor activity, also presents a very high osteoclastic potential. These progenitor cells can also be differentiated to macrophage and dendritic cells. Further dissection within the DN population identified cells bearing the phenotype CD15-CD115+ as the population with highest monocytic progenitor and osteoclastic potential. When similar methodology was used to identify OCPs from human peripheral blood, we confirmed a published OCP population with the phenotype CD11b+CD14+. In addition, we identified a second population (CD14-CD11bloCD115+) with high monocytic progenitor activity that was also able to form osteoclast like cells, similar to the 2 populations identified from pluripotent stem cells.

Abstract
Osteoclasts actively remodel both the mineral and proteinaceous components of bone during normal growth and development as well as pathologic states ranging from osteoporosis to bone metastasis. The cysteine proteinase cathepsin K confers osteoclasts with potent type I collagenolytic activity; however, cathepsin K-null mice, as well as cathepsin K-mutant humans, continue to remodel bone and degrade collagen by as-yet-undefined effectors. Here, we identify a cathepsin K-independent collagenolytic system in osteoclasts that is composed of a functionally redundant network of the secreted matrix metalloproteinase MMP9 and the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase MMP14. Unexpectedly, whereas deleting either of the proteinases individually leaves bone resorption intact, dual targeting of Mmp9 and Mmp14 inhibited the resorptive activity of mouse osteoclasts in vitro and in vivo and human osteoclasts in vitro. In vivo, Mmp9/Mmp14 conditional double-knockout mice exhibited marked increases in bone density and displayed a highly protected status against either parathyroid hormone- or ovariectomy-induced pathologic bone loss. Together, these studies characterize a collagenolytic system operative in mouse and human osteoclasts and identify the MMP9/MMP14 axis as a potential target for therapeutic interventions for bone-wasting disease states.

Abstract
The current models of osteoclastic bone resorption focus on immobile osteoclasts sitting on the bone surface and drilling a pit into the bone matrix. It recently appeared that many osteoclasts also enlarge their pit by moving across the bone surface while resorbing. Drilling a pit thus represents only the start of a resorption event of much larger amplitude. This prolonged resorption activity significantly contributes to pathological bone destruction, but the mechanism whereby the osteoclast engages in this process does not have an answer within the standard bone resorption models. Herein, we review observations that lead to envision how prolonged resorption is possible through simultaneous resorption and migration. According to the standard pit model, the “sealing zone” which surrounds the ruffled border (i.e., the actual resorption apparatus), “anchors” the ruffled border against the bone surface to be resorbed. Herein, we highlight that continuation of resorption demands that the sealing zone “glides” inside the cavity. Thereby, the sealing zone emerges as the structure responsible for orienting and displacing the ruffled border, e.g., directing resorption against the cavity wall. Importantly, sealing zone displacement stringently requires thorough collagen removal from the cavity wall - which renders strong cathepsin K collagenolysis indispensable for engagement of osteoclasts in cavity-enlargement. Furthermore, the sealing zone is associated with generation of new ruffled border at the leading edge, thereby allowing the ruffled border to move ahead. The sealing zone and ruffled border displacements are coordinated with the migration of the cell body, shown to be under control of lamellipodia at the leading edge and of the release of resorption products at the rear. We propose that bone resorption demands more attention to osteoclastic models integrating resorption and migration activities into just one cell phenotype.

Abstract
Proper bone remodeling necessarily requires that osteoblasts reconstruct the bone that osteoclasts have resorbed. However, the cellular events connecting resorption to reconstruction have remained poorly known. The consequence is a fragmentary understanding of the remodeling cycle where only the resorption and formation steps are taken into account. New tools have recently made possible to elucidate how resorption shifts to formation, thereby allowing to comprehend the remodeling cycle as a whole. This new knowledge is reviewed herein. It shows how teams of osteoclasts and osteoblast lineage cells are progressively established and how they are subjected therein to reciprocal interactions. Contrary to the common view, osteoclasts and osteoprogenitors are intermingled on the eroded surfaces. The analysis of the resorption and cell population dynamics shows that osteoprogenitor cell expansion and resorption proceed as an integrated mechanism; that a threshold cell density of osteoprogenitors on the eroded surface is mandatory for onset of bone formation; that the cell initiating osteoprogenitor cell expansion is the osteoclast; and that the osteoclast therefore triggers putative osteoprogenitor reservoirs positioned at proximity of the eroded bone surface (bone lining cells, canopy cells, pericytes). The interplay between magnitude of resorption and rate of cell expansion governs how soon bone reconstruction is initiated and may determine uncoupling and permanent bone loss if a threshold cell density is not reached. The clinical perspectives opened by these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Women gradually lose bone from the age of ~35 years, but around menopause, the rate of bone loss escalates due to increasing bone resorption and decreasing bone formation levels, rendering these individuals more prone to developing osteoporosis. The increased osteoclast activity has been linked to a reduced estrogen level and other hormonal changes. However, it is unclear whether intrinsic changes in osteoclast precursors around menopause can also explain the increased osteoclast activity. Therefore, we set up a protocol in which CD14+ blood monocytes were isolated from 49 female donors (40-66 years old). Cells were differentiated into osteoclasts, and data on differentiation and resorption activity were collected. Using multiple linear regression analyses combining in vitro and in vivo data, we found the following: (1) age and menopausal status correlate with aggressive osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro; (2) the type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide level in vivo inversely correlates with osteoclast resorption activity in vitro; (3) the protein level of mature cathepsin K in osteoclasts in vitro increases with age and menopause; and (4) the promoter of the gene encoding the dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein is less methylated with age. We conclude that monocytes are "reprogrammed" in vivo, allowing them to "remember" age, the menopausal status, and the bone formation status in vitro, resulting in more aggressive osteoclasts. Our discovery suggests that this may be mediated through DNA methylation. We suggest that this may have clinical implications and could contribute to understanding individual differences in age- and menopause-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that is mainly characterized by chondrocyte degeneration. Inflammatory mediators participate in the development of OA, leading to chondrocyte apoptosis and destruction of the cartilage. Genistein is the major active component of isoflavone, with a chemical composition and a biological effect that is similar to that of estrogens, which prevents the degradation of cartilage; however, its underlying mechanisms of action remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-apoptotic effects of genistein on chondrocytes for the treatment of inflammation-induced OA. Interleukin (IL)-1β was used to establish a chondrocyte OA model. After treatment with different concentrations of genistein, western blotting identified that expression levels of collagen II and aggrecan were increased in a concentration-dependent manner, while caspase 3 expression gradually decreased after genistein application. Moreover, flow cytometry and ELISA results demonstrated that genistein could decrease chondrocyte apoptosis and reduce the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the in vitro data were evaluated in an OA rat model. Genistein increased the collagen and acid glycosaminoglycan content, as well as decreased the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β. Genistein also promoted the expression levels of collagen II and aggrecan in the articular cartilage, and decreased the expression of caspase 3, thus alleviating cartilage degradation. In conclusion, the results indicated that genistein mediated inflammation and had an anti-apoptotic role in treating OA. Therefore, genistein may serve as an alternative treatment for OA.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, the most common chronic metabolic bone disease, is characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. Nowadays more than 200 million individuals are suffering from osteoporosis and still the number of affected people is dramatically increasing due to an aging population and longer life, representing a major public health problem. Current osteoporosis treatments are mainly designed to decrease bone resorption, presenting serious adverse effects that limit their safety for long-term use. Numerous studies with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have helped to increase the knowledge regarding the mechanisms that underlie the progression of osteoporosis. Emerging clinical and molecular evidence suggests that inflammation exerts a significant influence on bone turnover, thereby on osteoporosis. In this regard, MSCs have proven to possess broad immunoregulatory capabilities, modulating both adaptive and innate immunity. Here, we will discuss the role that MSCs play in the etiopathology of osteoporosis and their potential use for the treatment of this disease.

Dietary Cadmium Chloride Supplementation Impairs Renal Function and Bone Metabolism of Laying Hens. Animals (Basel) 2019; 9:ani9110998. [PMID: 31752407 PMCID: PMC6912261 DOI: 10.3390/ani9110998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 11/04/2019] [Accepted: 11/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) on the kidney function and bone development in laying hens. A total of 480 Hy-line laying hens aged 38 weeks were randomly allocated into five treatments, each of which included six replicates of 16 birds. The concentrations of Cd in the diets of the five groups were 0.47, 7.58, 15.56, 30.55, and 60.67 mg/kg. Results showed that serum calcium (Ca) levels decreased significantly in the 60.67 mg Cd/kg diet group (p < 0.05). The activities of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone ALP (BALP) decreased significantly in the 15.56, 30.55 and 60.67 mg Cd/kg diet groups (p < 0.05). The levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) increased significantly in the 30.55 and 60.67 mg Cd/kg diet groups, and the estradiol (E2), 1,25-(OH)2-D3 and calcitonin (CT) decreased significantly with the increase of dietary Cd supplementation (p < 0.05). Histological results presented enlargements of renal tubules and tubular fibrosis in the kidney and decreased trabecular bone in the tibia. Tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP) staining results of tibia showed that osteoclast was significantly increased at the relatively high dose of dietary Cd (p < 0.05). In addition, the renal function indicators of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urea acid (UA), and creatinine were significantly increased in Cd supplemented groups compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Low dose Cd exposure induced antioxidant defenses accompanying the increase in activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and the levels of glutathione (GSH) in renal tissue. At the same time, with the increased Cd levels, the activities of CAT, GSH-Px decreased significantly, and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased significantly (p < 0.05). The activities of Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase decreased significantly in the relatively high levels of dietary Cd (p < 0.05). These results suggest that Cd can damage renal function and induce disorders in bone metabolism of laying hens.

Minodronic acid induces morphological changes in osteoclasts at bone resorption sites and reaches a level required for antagonism of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors. J Bone Miner Metab 2018; 36:54-63.

Abstract
Minodronic acid is an aminobisphosphonate that is an antagonist of purinergic P2X2/3 receptors involved in pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the action and distribution of minodronic acid and the potential for P2X2/3 receptor antagonism based on the estimated concentration of minodronic acid. Microlocalization of radiolabeled minodronic acid was examined in the femur of neonatal rats. The bone-binding characteristics of minodronic acid and morphological changes in osteoclasts were analyzed in vitro. The minodronic acid concentration around bone resorption lacunae was predicted based on bone binding and the shape of lacunae. In microautoradiography, radioactive silver grains were abundant in bone-attached osteoclasts and were detected in calcified and ossification zones and in the cytoplasm of osteoclasts but not in the hypertrophic cartilage zone. In an osteoclast culture with 1 µM minodronic acid, 65% of minodronic acid was bound to bone, and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide release was inhibited by 96%. Cultured osteoclasts without minodronic acid treatment formed ruffled borders and bone resorption lacunae and had rich cytoplasm, whereas those treated with 1 µM minodronic acid were not multinucleated, stained densely with toluidine blue, and were detached from the bone surface. In the 1 µM culture, the estimated minodronic acid concentration in resorption lacunae was 880 µM, which is higher than the IC50 for minodronic acid antagonism of P2X2/3 receptors. Thus, inhibition of P2X2/3 receptors around osteoclasts may contribute to the analgesic effect of minodronic acid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of a heartwood ethanolic extract (HEE) made from the Dalbergia sissoo on facture healing and in the prevention of pathological bone loss resulting from estrogen deficiency in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. METHODS Heartwood ethanolic extract (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg per day) was administered orally immediately next day after drill-hole injury and continued for 2 weeks. Ovx rats received HEE at same doses for 12 weeks and compared with 17-β estradiol (E2; 100 μg/kg for 5 days/week subcutaneously) group. Confocal imaging for fracture healing, micro-architecture of long bones, biomechanical strength, formation of mineralized nodule by bone marrow osteoprogenitor cells, bone turnover markers and gene expression were studied. One-way ANOVA was used to test significance. KEY FINDINGS Heartwood ethanolic extract treatment promoted fracture healing, formation of new bone at the drill-hole site and stimulated osteogenic genes at callus region. HEE administration to the Ovx rats exhibited better micro-architectural parameters at various anatomical positions, better bone biomechanical strength and more osteoprogenitor cells in the bone marrow compared with Ovx + vehicle group. HEE exhibited no uterine estrogenicity. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of HEE was found to promote fracture healing and exhibited osteoprotective effect by possibly stimulation of osteoblast function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we have evaluated the skeletal effects of butanolic fraction (BF) from Passiflora foetida in an estrogen deficient mice bone loss model. STUDY DESIGN Skeletal effect of BF was studied in ovariectomized (OVx) female Balb/c mice. BF (50 and 100mg/kg/day dose orally) was given for 8 weeks. Micro-architecture of long bones, biomechanical strength, formations of mineralized nodule by bone marrow osteoprogenitor cells, osteoid formation and bone turnover markers were studied. One way ANOVA was used to test the significance of effects of Passiflora foetida. RESULTS OVx mice treated with BF represented with better micro-architectural parameters at various anatomical positions, better bone biomechanical strength and more osteoprogenitor cells in the bone marrow compared with OVx group. BF did not exhibit uterine estrogenicity. CONCLUSION Oral administration of BF at both the doses (50 and 100mg/kg/day) derived from Passiflora Foetida, was found to afford anti-osteoporotic effect under estrogen deficiency by likely stimulation of osteoblast function and inhibition of osteoclast function.

J Reprod Dev 2016; 62:553-560.

Abstract
Because latent form of matrix metallopeptidase-9 (proMMP9) levels are positively related to blastocyst development, it was hypothesized that addition during maturation may improve development of heat-stressed oocytes. To test hypothesis, 0, 30 or 300 ng/ml human proMMP9 (hMMP9) was added at 18 h of in vitro maturation (hIVM) to cumulus-oocyte complexes matured at 38.5 or 41.0ºC (first 12 h only). Heat stress decreased 24 hIVM proMMP9 levels only in 0 and 30 ng/ml groups and increased progesterone in 0 and 300 ng/ml hMMP9 groups. Heat stress decreased cleavage and blastocyst development. Independent of maturation temperature, hMMP9 at 18 hIVM decreased blastocyst development. In a second study, cumulus-oocyte complexes were matured for 24 h at 38.5 or 41.0ºC (HS first 12 h only) with 0 or 300 ng/ml hMMP9 added at 12 hIVM. Without hMMP9, heat stress decreased 24 hIVM proMMP9 levels and increased progesterone production. Addition of 300 ng/ml of hMMP9 produced equivalent levels of proMMP9 at 24 hIVM (271 vs. 279 ± 77 for 38.5ºC and 41.0ºC treated oocytes, respectively). Heat stress did not affect ability of oocytes to cleave but reduced blastocyst development. Independent of temperature, hMMP9 decreased cleavage and blastocyst development. In summary, hMMP9 supplementation during IVM did not improve development of heat-stressed oocytes even when it was added for the entire maturation period. At doses tested, hMMP9 appeared detrimental to development when supplemented during the last 12 or 6 h of oocyte maturation.

Abstract
Development of target oriented chemotherapeutics for treatment of chronic diseases have been considered as an important approach in drug development. Following this approach, in our efforts for exploration of new osteogenic leads, substituted 3-aryl-2H-benzopyran and 3-aryl-3H-benzopyran derivatives (19, 20a-e, 21, 22a-e, 26, 27, 28a-e, 29, 31a-b, 32 and 33) have been characterized as estrogen receptor-β selective osteogenic (bone forming) agents. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for osteogenic activity using mouse calvarial osteoblast cells. Four compounds viz20b, 22a, 27and 32 showed significant osteogenic activity at EC50 values 1.35, 34.5, 407 and 29.5pM respectively. Out of these, 20b and 32 were analyzed for their bone mineralization efficacy and osteogenic gene expression by qPCR. The results showed that 20b and 32 significantly increased mineral nodule formation and the transcript levels of BMP-2, RUNX-2 and osteocalcin at 100pM concentrations respectively. Further mechanistic studies of 20b and 32 using transiently knocked down expression of ER-α and β in mouse osteoblast (MOBs) showed that 20b and 32 exerts osteogenic efficacy via activation of estrogen receptor-β preferentially. Additionally, compounds showed significant anticancer activity in a panel of cancer cell lines within the range of (IC50) 6.54-27.79μM. The most active molecule, 22b inhibited proliferation of cells by inducing apoptosis and arresting cell cycle at sub-G0 phase with concomitant decrease in cells at S phase.

Abstract
Phloretin (C15 H14 O5 ), a dihydrochalcone flavonoid, is mainly found in fruit, leaves, and roots of apple tree. Phloretin exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities in mammalian cells through mechanisms that have been partially elucidated throughout the years. Phloretin bioavailability is well known in humans, but still remains to be better studied in experimental animals, such as mouse and rat. The focus of the present review is to gather information regarding the mechanisms involved in the phloretin-elicited effects in different in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Several manuscripts were analyzed and data raised by authors were described and discussed here in a mechanistic manner. Comparisons between the effects elicited by phloretin and phloridzin were made whenever possible, as well as with other polyphenols, clarifying questions about the use of phloretin as a potential therapeutic agent. Toxicological aspects associated to phloretin exposure were also discussed here. Furthermore, a special section containing future directions was created as a suggestive guide towards the elucidation of phloretin-related actions in mammalian cells and tissues.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) seeded on bone slices either drill round pits or dig long trenches. Whereas pits correspond to intermittent resorption, trenches correspond to continuous and faster resorption and require a distinct assembly of the resorption apparatus. It is unknown whether the distinction between pits and trenches has any biological relevance. Using OCs prepared from different blood donors, we found that female OCs achieved increased resorption mainly through pit formation, whereas male OCs did so through trench formation. Trench formation went along with high collagenolytic activity and high cathepsin K (CatK) expression, thereby allowing deeper demineralization. A specific CatK inhibitor abrogated the generation of trenches, while still allowing the generation of pits. OCs obtained from bone marrow were more prone to generate trenches than those obtained from blood. Scanning electron microscopy of bone surfaces eroded in vivo showed trenches and pits of similar size as those made by OCs in culture. We conclude that the distinction between trench- and pit-forming OCs is relevant to the differences among OCs from different skeletal sites, different individuals, including gender, and results from differences in collagenolytic power. This indicates a biological relevance and highlights the importance of discriminating between pits and trenches when assessing resorption.

Abstract
Cathepsin K, a cysteine protease, is an essential enzyme in degradation of collagen type I. Since cathepsin K is relatively specific to osteoclasts, it represents a promising candidate for drug development. In the past decades, efforts have been made in developing highly potent, selective and orally applicable cathepsin K inhibitors. In contrast to balicatib and relacatib, whose drug development programmes were stopped due to cutaneous side-effects related to limited drug specificity, the more specific cathepsin K inhibitors odanacatib (ODN) and ONO-5334 have entered clinical trials. Odanacatib progressively increases bone mineral density (BMD) and decreases bone resorption markers in postmenopausal women with low BMD. Its clinical efficacy and safety was confirmed by several clinical studies but indicates that odanacatib is characterized by a resolution-of-effect with increases in bone resorption and rapid decreases in BMD following treatment discontinuation. A phase III fracture prevention study in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis is currently in the final phase.

Abstract
Coating titanium implants with artificial extracellular matrices based on collagen and chondroitin sulfate (CS) has been shown to enhance bone remodelling and de novo bone formation in vivo. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen deficiency and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the osseointegration of CS-modified Ti implants. 30 adult female, ovariectomized Wistar rats were fed either with an ethinyl-estradiol-rich diet (E) to simulate a clinical relevant HRT or with a genistein-rich diet (G) to test an alternative therapy based on nutritionally relevant phytoestrogens. Controls (C) received an estrogen-free diet. Uncoated titanium pins (Ti) or pins coated with type-I collagen and CS (Ti/CS) were inserted 8weeks after ovarectomy into the tibia. Specimens were retrieved 28days after implantation. Both the amount of newly formed bone and the affinity index (P<0.05) were moderately higher around Ti/CS implants as compared to uncoated Ti. The highest values were measured in the G-Ti/CS and E-Ti/CS groups, the lowest values for the E-Ti and G-Ti controls. Quantitative synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SRμCT) revealed the highest increase in total bone formation around G-Ti/CS as compared to C-Ti (P<0.01). The effects with respect to direct bone apposition were less pronounced with SRμCT. Using scanning nanoindentation, both the indentation modulus and the hardness of the newly formed bone were highest in the E-Ti/CS, G-Ti/CS and G-Ti groups as compared to C-Ti (P<0.05). Coatings with collagen and CS appear to improve both the quantity and quality of bone formed around Ti implants in ovarectomized rats. A simultaneous ethinyl estradiol- and genistein-rich diet seems to enhance these effects.

Abstract
We hypothesized that newly formed osteoclasts from patients with acute Charcot osteoarthropathy can resorb surfaces of bone more extensively compared with controls. Peripheral blood monocytes, isolated from eight Charcot patients and nine controls, were cultured in vitro on 24-well plates and bovine bone discs in duplicate with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANKL). Osteoclast formation was assessed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining (TRAcP) at day 17. Resorption was measured at day 21 after toluidine blue staining by two methods: (1) area of resorption at the surface by image analysis (%) and (2) area of resorption under the surface (μm(2)) measured by a Dektak 150 Surface Profiler. Ten 1,000 μm-long scans were performed per disc. Pits were classified as unidented, bidented, and multidented according to their shape. Although the number of newly formed TRAcP positive multinucleated cells (>3 nuclei) was similar in M-CSF + RANKL-treated cultures between controls and Charcot patients, the latter exhibited increased resorbing activity. The area of resorption on the surface by image analysis was significantly greater in Charcot patients compared with controls (21.1 % [14.5-26.2] vs. 40.8 % [35.4-46.0], median [25-75th percentile], p < 0.01), as was the area of resorption under the surface (2.7 x 10(3) μm(2) [1.6 x 10(3)- 3.9 x 10(3)] vs. 8.3 x 10(3) μm (2) [5.6 x 10(3)- 10.6 x 10(3), [corrected] p < 0.01) after profilometry. In Charcot patients pits were deeper and wider and more frequently presented as multidented pits. This application of the Dektak 150 Surface Profiler revealed novel differences in resorption pit profile from osteoclasts derived from Charcot patients compared with controls. Resorption in Charcot patients was mediated by highly aggressive newly formed osteoclasts from monocytes eroding large and deep areas of bone.

Calcif Tissue Int 2014; 94:212-22.

Abstract
Odanacatib (ODN) is a bone resorption inhibitor which differs from standard antiresorptives by its ability to reduce bone resorption without decreasing bone formation. What is the reason for this difference? In contrast with other antiresorptives, such as alendronate (ALN), ODN targets only the very last step of the resorption process. We hypothesize that ODN may therefore modify the remodeling events immediately following osteoclastic resorption. These events belong to the reversal phase and include recruitment of osteoblasts, which is critical for connecting bone resorption to formation. We performed a histomorphometric study of trabecular remodeling in vertebrae of estrogen-deficient rabbits treated or not with ODN or ALN, a model where ODN, but not ALN, was previously shown to preserve bone formation. In line with our hypothesis, we found that ODN treatment compared to ALN results in a shorter reversal phase, faster initiation of osteoid deposition on the eroded surfaces, and higher osteoblast recruitment. The latter is reflected by higher densities of mature bone forming osteoblasts and an increased subpopulation of cuboidal osteoblasts. Furthermore, we found an increase in the interface between osteoclasts and surrounding osteoblast-lineage cells. This increase is expected to favor the osteoclast-osteoblast interactions required for bone formation. Regarding bone resorption itself, we show that ODN, but not ALN, treatment results in shallower resorption lacunae, a geometry favoring bone stiffness. We conclude that, compared to standard antiresorptives, ODN shows distinctive effects on resorption geometry and on reversal phase activities which positively affect osteoblast recruitment and may therefore favor bone formation.

Abstract
There is a lot of interest for how and how much osteoclasts resorb bone. However, little is known about the mechanism which controls the orientation and the duration of a resorptive event, thereby determining the specific geometry of a cavitation. Here we show that the relative rate of collagenolysis vs. demineralization plays a critical role in this process. First we observed that when culturing osteoclasts on bone slices, excavations appeared either as round pits containing demineralized collagen, or as elongated trenches without demineralized collagen. This suggests that round pits are generated when collagen degradation is slower than demineralization, and trenches when collagen degradation is as fast as demineralization. Next we treated the osteoclasts with a low dose of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor to slightly decrease the rate of demineralization, thereby allowing collagen degradation to proceed as fast as demineralization. This resulted in about a two-fold increase of the proportion of trenches, thus supporting our hypothesis. The same result was obtained if facilitating collagen degradation by pre-treating the bone slices with NaOCl. In contrast, when decreasing the rate of collagenolysis vs. demineralization by the addition of a cathepsin K specific inhibitor, the proportion of trenches fell close to 0%, and furthermore the round pits became almost half as deep. These observations lead to a model where the osteoclast resorption route starts perpendicularly to the bone surface, forming a pit, and continues parallel to the bone surface, forming a trench. Importantly, we show that the progress of the osteoclast along this route depends on the balance between the rate of collagenolysis and demineralization. We propose that the osteocytes and bone lining cells surrounding the osteoclast may act on this balance to steer the osteoclast resorptive activity in order to give the excavations a specific shape.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, specific in vitro bisphosphonate concentrations have been established for reaching a toxic threshold that could result in the induction of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), but these data have not been validated in vivo. The purpose of this study was to quantify the concentration of bisphosphonates (BPs) in the diseased jaw bone of patients experiencing BRONJ. STUDY DESIGN We hypothesized that if the average natural nitrogen content of mammalian bone is known, the excess of nitrogen in the jaw bone of BRONJ patients is likely to reflect the concentration of amino-BP. To test our hypothesis, jaw bone specimens from patients with BRONJ were acquired after sequestrectomy and analyzed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). RESULTS The EDS analysis of the bone demonstrated a highly linear correlation between increasing concentrations of BP and the increasing percentage of nitrogen measured at the bone surfaces (R(2) = .9851, P = .0149). CONCLUSIONS SEM/EDS can be a valuable tool for assessing BP concentration in jaw bone and provides important insight into BP pharmacokinetics and BRONJ.

Abstract
The chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 play a key role in regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and cell migratory function during morphogenesis. Osteoblasts express both the ligand and the receptor, but little is known about the role of CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling in maintaining skeletal homeostasis. Using Cre-Lox technology to delete CXCR4 in mature osteoblasts in mice, we show here a significant decrease in bone mass and alterations in cancellous bone structure. CXCR4 gene ablation increased the number of colony-forming units (CFU), CFU-positive for alkaline phosphatase (CFU-AP(+)), and mineralizing nodules in bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) cultures. The adipocyte precursor population decreased in BMSCs harvested from the KO animals. The nonadherent population of BMSCs harvested from the long bone diaphysis of KO animals formed more osteoclasts, a finding that was associated with increased circulatory levels of pyridinoline, a marker of bone resorption. Our data show that osteoblast-specific CXCR4 deletion has profound effects on the mesenchymal stem cell pool and allocation to the osteoblastic and adipocytic cell lineages. They also show that CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling in the mature osteoblast can feedback to regulate the osteoclast precursor pool size and play a multifunctional role in regulating bone formation and resorption.

Abstract
Bioactive bone substitute materials are a valuable alternative to autologous bone transplantations in the repair of skeletal defects. However, clinical studies have reported varying success rates for many commonly used biomaterials. While osteoblasts have traditionally been regarded as key players mediating osseointegration, increasing evidence suggests that bone-resorbing osteoclasts are of crucial importance for the longevity of applied biomaterials. As no standardized data on the resorbability of biomaterials exists, we applied an in vitro-assay to compare ten commonly used bone substitutes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were differentiated into osteoclasts in the co-presence of dentin chips and biomaterials or dentin alone (control) for a period of 28 days. Osteoclast maturation was monitored on day 0 and 14 by light microscopy, and material-dependent changes in extracellular pH were assessed twice weekly. Mature osteoclasts were quantified using TRAP stainings on day 28 and their resorptive activity was determined on dentin (toluidin blue staining) and biomaterials (scanning electron microscopy, SEM). The analyzed biomaterials caused specific changes in the pH, which were correlated with osteoclast multinuclearity (r = 0.942; p = 0.034) and activity on biomaterials (r = 0.594; p = 0.041). Perossal led to a significant reduction of pH, nuclei per osteoclast and dentin resorption, whereas Tutogen bovine and Tutobone human strikingly increased all three parameters. Furthermore, natural biomaterials were resorbed more rapidly than synthetic biomaterials leading to differential relative resorption coefficients, which indicate whether bone substitutes lead to a balanced resorption or preferential resorption of either the biomaterial or the surrounding bone. Taken together, this study for the first time compares the effects of widely used biomaterials on osteoclast formation and resorbability in an unbiased approach that may now aid in improving the preclinical evaluation of bone substitute materials.

Abstract
The female predominance of polyarticular osteoarthritis (OA), and in particular the marked increase of OA in women after the menopause points to a likely involvement of female sex hormones in the maintenance of cartilage homeostasis. This perception has inspired many research groups to investigate the role of estrogens in the modulation of cartilage homeostasis with the ultimate aim to clarify whether estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) could provide benefits in preventing the rapid rise in the prevalence of OA in postmenopausal women. The effects of ERT and selective estrogen-receptor modulators on the joint in various experimental models have been investigated. Clinically, the effects of estrogens have been evaluated by post hoc analysis in clinical trials using biochemical markers of cartilage and bone degradation. Lastly, the Women's Health Initiative trial (WHI) investigated the effects of estrogens on the joint and joint replacements. Even though the exact mode of action still needs to be elucidated, the effect involves both direct and indirect mechanisms on the whole joint pathophysiology. Several animal models have demonstrated structural benefits of estrogens, as well as significant effects on joint inflammation. This is in complete alignment with clinical data using biochemical markers of joint degradation which demonstrated approximately 50% inhibition of cartilage destruction. These finding were recently validated in WHI, where women taking estrogens had significantly less joint replacement. In conclusion, the pleiotropic effect of estrogens on several different tissues may match the complicated aetiology of OA in some important aspects.

Abstract
The clinical utilization of resorbable bone substitutes has been growing rapidly during the last decade, creating a rising demand for new resorbable biomaterials. An ideal resorbable bone substitute should not only function as a load-bearing material but also integrate into the local bone remodeling process. This means that these bone substitutes need to undergo controlled resorption and then be replaced by newly formed bone structures. Thus the assessment of resorbability is an important first step in predicting the in vivo clinical function of bone substitute biomaterials. Compared with in vivo assays, cell-based assays are relatively easy, reproducible, inexpensive and do not involve the suffering of animals. Moreover, the discovery of RANKL and M-CSF for osteoclastic differentiation has made the differentiation and cultivation of human osteoclasts possible and, as a result, human cell-based bone substitute resorption assays have been developed. In addition, the evolution of microscopy technology allows advanced analyses of the resorption pits on biomaterials. The aim of the current review is to give a concise update on in vitro cell-based resorption assays for analyzing bone substitute resorption. For this purpose models using different cells from different species are compared. Several popular two-dimensional and three-dimensional optical methods used for resorption assays are described. The limitations and advantages of the current ISO degradation assay in comparison with cell-based assays are discussed.

For this purpose, 15 female rats 22 days old were divided into three groups: Estrogen (EG), Sham (SG) and Control (CG). The rats of EG received daily intramuscular injection of estrogen for 7 days. The SG received only the oil vehicle. Maxillary fragments containing alveolar bone were removed and processed for light and transmission electron microscopy. Area (OcA) and number of nuclei (OcN) and bone resorption surface per TRAP-positive osteoclasts (BS/OC) were obtained. Vimentin, caspase-3 and MMP-9 immunoreactions, TUNEL/TRAP and MMP-9/TUNEL combined reactions were performed. In EG, the OcA, OcN and BS/Oc were reduced. Moreover, osteoclasts showed cytoplasm immunolabelled by caspase-3 and a different pattern of vimentin expression in comparison with CG and SG. MMP-9 expression was not affected by estrogen and the TUNEL-positive osteoclasts were MMP-9-immunolabelled. In EG, ultrastructural images showed that apoptotic osteoclasts did not exhibit ruffled borders or clear zones and were shedding mononucleated portions. TRAP-positive structures containing irregular and dense chromatin were partially surrounded by fibroblast-like cells. In conclusion, the reduction in the BS/Oc may be due to reduction in OcA and OcN; these effects seem to be related to vimentin disarrangement rather than to an interference of estrogen with osteoclast MMP-9 expression. Osteoclast apoptosis involves caspase-3 activity and vimentin degradation; these cells release portions containing one apoptotic nucleus and, subsequently, undergo fragmentation, giving rise to apoptotic bodies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, the sixth most common disease in the world, is bringing increasingly serious harm to people's health. Cathepsin K, which plays an important role in bone resorption, is a potential target in the treatment of osteoporosis. Total flavonoids, the active ingredients in Rhizoma Drynariae, have shown obvious, therapeutic effect on osteoporosis. In previous studies, it was presumed that the mechanism for the therapeutic effect was through inhibiting the expression of Cathepsin K. However, there are still no detailed reports on some key issues such as the specific inhibitory results of total flavonoids on Cathepsin K and the pathway of inhibition and so on. Based on previous studies on total flavonoids from Rhizoma Drynariae, the pathway for the effect of, total flavonoids inhibiting Cathepsin K and their interventional value on Cathepsin K were analyzed in this paper, so as to explore the interventional feasibility and value of total flavonoids in Rhizoma Drynariae on Cathepsin K.

Abstract
Osteoclasts have traditionally been associated exclusively with catabolic functions that are a prerequisite for bone resorption. However, emerging data suggest that osteoclasts also carry out functions that are important for optimal bone formation and bone quality. Moreover, recent findings indicate that osteoclasts have different subtypes depending on their location, genotype, and possibly in response to drug intervention. The aim of the current review is to describe the subtypes of osteoclasts in four different settings: 1) physiological, in relation to turnover of different bone types; 2) pathological, as exemplified by monogenomic disorders; 3) pathological, as identified by different disorders; and 4) in drug-induced situations. The profiles of these subtypes strongly suggest that these osteoclasts belong to a heterogeneous cell population, namely, a diverse macrophage-associated cell type with bone catabolic and anabolic functions that are dependent on both local and systemic parameters. Further insight into these osteoclast subtypes may be important for understanding cell-cell communication in the bone microenvironment, treatment effects, and ultimately bone quality.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are known to exert their resorptive activity through a so-called resorption cycle consisting of alternating resorption and migration episodes and resulting typically in the formation of increasing numbers of discrete round excavations on bone slices. This study shows that glucocorticoids deeply modify this resorptive behavior. First, glucocorticoids gradually induce excavations with a trenchlike morphology while reducing the time-dependent increase in excavation numbers. This indicates that glucocorticoids make osteoclasts elongate the excavations they initiated rather than migrating to a new resorption site, as in control conditions. Second, the round excavations in control conditions contain undegraded demineralized collagen as repeatedly reported earlier, whereas the excavations with a trenchlike morphology generated under glucocorticoid exposure appear devoid of leftovers of demineralized collagen. This indicates that collagenolysis proceeds generally at a lower rate than demineralization under control conditions, whereas collagenolysis rates are increased up to the level of demineralization rates in the presence of glucocorticoids. Taking these observations together leads to a model where glucocorticoid-induced increased collagenolysis allows continued contact of osteoclasts with mineral, thereby maintaining resorption uninterrupted by migration episodes and generating resorption trenches. In contrast, accumulation of demineralized collagen, as prevails in controls, acts as a negative-feedback loop, switching resorptive activity off and promoting migration to a new resorption site, thereby generating an additional resorption pit. We conclude that glucocorticoids change the osteoclastic resorption mode from intermittent to continuous and speculate that this change may contribute to the early bone fragilization of glucocorticoid-treated patients.

Abstract
Mutations in sarcomere protein genes can cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disorder characterized by myocyte enlargement, fibrosis, and impaired ventricular relaxation. Here, we demonstrate that sarcomere protein gene mutations activate proliferative and profibrotic signals in non-myocyte cells to produce pathologic remodeling in HCM. Gene expression analyses of non-myocyte cells isolated from HCM mouse hearts showed increased levels of RNAs encoding cell-cycle proteins, Tgf-β, periostin, and other profibrotic proteins. Markedly increased BrdU labeling, Ki67 antigen expression, and periostin immunohistochemistry in the fibrotic regions of HCM hearts confirmed the transcriptional profiling data. Genetic ablation of periostin in HCM mice reduced but did not extinguish non-myocyte proliferation and fibrosis. In contrast, administration of Tgf-β-neutralizing antibodies abrogated non-myocyte proliferation and fibrosis. Chronic administration of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist losartan to mutation-positive, hypertrophy-negative (prehypertrophic) mice prevented the emergence of hypertrophy, non-myocyte proliferation, and fibrosis. Losartan treatment did not reverse pathologic remodeling of established HCM but did reduce non-myocyte proliferation. These data define non-myocyte activation of Tgf-β signaling as a pivotal mechanism for increased fibrosis in HCM and a potentially important factor contributing to diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. Preemptive pharmacologic inhibition of Tgf-β signals warrants study in human patients with sarcomere gene mutations.

Abstract
The role of estrogen in bone resorption has been specifically related to the effect of estrogen on the signalling pathway that inhibits the formation of osteoclasts. However, osteoclast apoptosis and a significant reduction in the number of these cells have been observed in the alveolar bone of female rats treated with estradiol. In the present study, the expression of estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) in the cells of alveolar bone was evaluated in estradiol-treated and -untreated female rats. In order to test the possible direct action of estrogen on osteoclasts, the relationship between apoptosis and ERbeta expression in these cells was also analysed. The animals received estradiol for 14 days and the alveolar bone fragments were embedded in paraffin for the quantification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts. The expression of ERbeta and apoptosis in the osteoclasts were evaluated by ERbeta immunohistochemistry and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labelling (TUNEL) methods, respectively. To confirm osteoclast death by apoptosis, these cells were analysed under transmission electron microscopy. Some osteoclasts from estradiol-treated animals were found to be undergoing apoptosis and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts was significantly reduced. ERbeta immunolabelling was observed in the cytoplasm and nuclei of active osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts in both groups, suggesting a direct participation of estrogen on alveolar bone cells. However, following estradiol treatment, a strong ERbeta immunolabelling was often observed in the TUNEL-positive osteoclasts. Therefore, these results indicate that, in addition to the other signalling pathway, the reduction of alveolar bone resorption is also related to a direct action of estrogen on osteoclasts, promoting apoptosis in these cells, via ERbeta.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is an aggressively osteolytic primary bone tumor that is characterized by the presence of abundant multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells, hematopoietic monocytes, and a distinct mesenchymal stromal cell component. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is the principal proteinase expressed by the stromal cells of GCT. The release of cytokines, particularly interleukin-1beta, by the giant cells of GCT acts on stromal cells to stimulate a surge in MMP-13 secretion. The purpose of this study was to determine the bone resorption capabilities of the cellular elements of GCT and the significance of the MMP-13 expression involved in GCT bone resorption. We present a 3-dimensional histomorphometric technique developed to analyze resorption pit depth and yield an accurate measurement of bone resorption with a direct physical view of lacunae on bone slices. In this study, we demonstrate that the mesenchymal stromal cells and the multinucleated giant cells of GCT are independently capable of bone resorption. However, coculture of these 2 cell fractions shows a synergistic increase in bone resorption. In addition, inhibition of MMP-13 reduces resorptive activity of the cells indicating that MMP-13 likely plays an important role in this tumor. This cell-cell cooperation involves giant cell-derived cytokine up-regulation of MMP-13 in the stromal cells, which in turn assists the giant cells in bone resorption. Future research will involve elucidation of the role of cell-cell/matrix communication pathways in bone resorption and tumorigenesis in GCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The urinary level of the type II collagen degradation marker CTX-II is increased in postmenopausal women and in ovariectomised rats, suggesting that oestrogen deprivation induces cartilage breakdown. Here we investigate whether this response to oestrogen is also true for other type II collagen turnover markers known to be affected in osteoarthritis, and whether it relates to its presence in specific areas of cartilage tissue. METHODS The type II collagen degradation markers CTX-II and Helix-II were measured in the body fluids of premenopausal and postmenopausal women and in those of ovariectomised rats receiving oestrogen or not. Levels of PIIANP, a marker of type II collagen synthesis, were also measured in rats. Rat knee cartilage was analysed for immunoreactivity of CTX-II and PIIANP and for type II collagen expression. RESULTS As expected, urinary levels of CTX-II are significantly increased in postmenopausal women and also in oestrogen deprived rats, although only transiently. However, in neither case were these elevations paralleled by a significant increase of Helix-II levels and PIIANP levels did not change at any time. CTX-II immunoreactivity and collagen expression were detected indifferent cartilage areas. The upper zone is the area where CTX-II immunoreactivity and collagen expression best reflected the differences in urinary levels of CTX-II measured in response to oestrogen. However, correlations between urinary levels of CTX-II and tissue immunostainings in individual rats were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS We found only a small effect of oestrogen deprivation on cartilage. It was detected by CTX-II, but not by other type II collagen turnover markers typically affected in osteoarthritis.

Alterations in osteoclast function and phenotype induced by different inhibitors of bone resorption--implications for osteoclast quality. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2010; 11:109.

Abstract
Background Normal osteoclasts resorb bone by secretion of acid and proteases. Recent studies of patients with loss of function mutations affecting either of these processes have indicated a divergence in osteoclastic phenotypes. These difference in osteoclast phenotypes may directly or indirectly have secondary effects on bone remodeling, a process which is of importance for the pathogenesis of both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. We treated human osteoclasts with different inhibitors and characterized their resulting function. Methods Human CD14 + monocytes were differentiated into mature osteoclasts using RANKL and M-CSF. The osteoclasts were cultured on bone in the presence or absence of various inhibitors: Inhibitors of acidification (bafilomycin A1, diphyllin, ethoxyzolamide), inhibitors of proteolysis (E64, GM6001), or a bisphosphonate (ibandronate). Osteoclast numbers and bone resorption were monitored by measurements of TRACP activity, the release of calcium, CTX-I and ICTP, as well as by counting resorption pits. Results All inhibitors of acidification were equally potent with respect to inhibition of both organic and inorganic resorption. In contrast, inhibition of proteolysis by E64 potently reduced organic resorption, but only modestly suppressed inorganic resorption. GM6001 alone did not greatly affect bone resorption. However, when GM6001 and E64 were combined, a complete abrogation of organic bone resorption was observed, without a great effect on inorganic resorption. Ibandronate abrogated both organic and inorganic resorption at all concentrations tested [0.3-100 μM], however, this treatment dramatically reduced TRACP activity. Conclusions We present evidence highlighting important differences with respect to osteoclast function, when comparing the different types of osteoclast inhibitors. Each class of osteoclast inhibitors will lead to different alterations in osteoclast quality, which secondarily may lead to different bone qualities.

Abstract
Cathepsin K is a highly potent collagenase and the predominant papain-like cysteine protease expressed in osteoclasts. Cathepsin K deficiencies in humans and mice have underlined the central role of this protease in bone resorption and, thus, have rendered the enzyme as an attractive target for anti-resorptive osteoporosis therapy. In the past decade, a lot of efforts have been made in developing highly potent, selective and orally applicable cathepsin K inhibitors. Some of these inhibitors have passed preclinical studies and are presently in clinical trials at different stages of advancement. The development of the inhibitors and preliminary results of the clinical trials revealed problems and lessons concerning the in situ specificity of the compounds and their tissue targeting. In this review, we briefly summarize the history of cathepsin K research and discuss the current development of cathepsin K inhibitors as novel anti-resorptives for the treatment of osteoporosis. We also discuss potential off-target effects of cathepsin K inhibition and alternative applications of cathepsin K inhibitors in arthritis, atherosclerosis, blood pressure regulation, obesity and cancer.

Abstract
Bone resorption is a multistep process including osteoclast attachment, cytoskeletal reorganization, formation of four distinct plasma membrane domains, and matrix demineralization and degradation followed by cell detachment. The present study describes the intracellular mechanisms by which overexpression of cathepsin K in osteoclasts results in enhanced bone resorption. Osteoclasts and bone marrow-derived osteoclast and osteoblast precursors were isolated from mice homozygous (UTU17(+/+)) and negative for the transgene locus. Cells cultured on bovine cortical bone slices were analyzed by fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy, and bone resorption was studied by measurements of biochemical resorption markers, morphometry, and FESEM. Excessive cathepsin K protein and enzyme activity were microscopically observed in various intracellular vesicles and in the resorption lacunae of cathepsin K-overexpressing osteoclasts. The number of cathepsin K-containing vesicles in UTU17(+/+) osteoclasts was highly increased, and co-localization with markers for the biosynthetic and transcytotic pathways was observed throughout the cytoplasm. As a functional consequence of cathepsin K overexpression, biochemical resorption markers were increased in culture media of UTU17(+/+) osteoclasts. Detailed morphometrical analysis of the erosion in bone slices indicated that the increased biosynthesis of cathepsin K was sufficient to accelerate the osteoclastic bone resorption cycle. Cathepsin K overexpression also enhanced osteogenesis and induced the formation of exceptionally small, actively resorbing osteoclasts from their bone marrow precursors in vitro. The present study describes for the first time how enhancement in one phase of the osteoclastic resorption cycle also stimulates its other phases and further demonstrate that tight control and temporal coupling of mesenchymal and hematopoietic bone cells in this multistep process.

Abstract
Although several treatments for osteoporosis exist, further understanding of the mode of action of current treatments, as well as development of novel treatments, are of interest. Thus, preclinical models of osteoporosis are very useful, as they provide the possibility for gaining knowledge about the cellular mechanisms underlying the disease and for studying pharmaceutical prevention or intervention of the disease in simple and strictly controlled systems. In this review, we present a comprehensive collection of studies using biochemical markers of bone turnover for investigation of preclinical models of osteoporosis. These range from pure and simple in vitro systems, such as osteoclast cultures, to ex vivo models, such as cultures of embryonic murine tibiae and, finally, to in vivo models, such as ovariectomy and orchidectomy of rats. We discuss the relevance of the markers in the individual models, and compare their responses to those observed using 'golden standard' methods.

Abstract
Bovine milk has been shown to contain bioactive components with bone-protective properties. Earlier studies on bovine milk whey protein showed that it suppressed bone resorption in the female ovariectomised rat. A new osteotropic component was subsequently identified in the whey basic protein fraction, but bone bioactivity may also be associated with other whey fractions. In the present study, we investigated whether acidic protein fractions isolated from bovine milk whey could prevent bone loss in mature ovariectomised female rats. Six-month-old female rats were ovariectomised (OVX) or left intact (sham). The OVX rats were randomised into four groups. One group remained the control (OVX), whereas three groups were fed various whey acidic protein fractions from milk whey as 3g/kg diet for 4 months. Outcomes were bone mineral density, bone biomechanics and markers of bone turnover. Bone mineral density of the femurs indicated that one of the whey AF over time caused a recovery of bone lost from OVX. Plasma C-telopeptide of type I collagen decreased significantly in all groups except OVX control over time, indicating an anti-resorptive effect of whey acidic protein. Biomechanical data showed that the AF may affect bone architecture as elasticity was increased by one of the whey AF. The femurs of AF-supplemented rats all showed an increase in organic matter. This is the first report of an acidic whey protein fraction isolated from milk whey that may support the recovery of bone loss in vivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Here we present evidence that overexertion of the hematopoietic system following chronic bleeding plays an important role in the etiology of osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 mice were exposed to chronic bloodletting (0.2 mL twice per month for 10 months), total body irradiation (900 cGy), or aging (20-30 months old). Bone marrow from standard untreated donors was transplanted under the kidney capsules of all three categories of recipients to investigate the influence of each of these conditions on new bone marrow formation. Cellularity and histologic structure of developed osteohematopoietic sites and histomorphometry of lumbar vertebrae were studied, thus assessing the role of bleeding, irradiation, and old age on new bone formation and effects on existing bone. RESULTS Chronic blood loss led to augmented production of hematopoietic microenvironment, relative reduction in the amount of generated bone, and activation of the bone resorptive process in the newly forming osteohematopoietic complex. Similar results were seen in irradiated and senescent mice. Activity, stimulating expansion of hematopoietic microenvironment, was revealed in the plasma of all three categories of experimental mice. Likewise, quantification of the relative amount of bone and hematopoietic areas in skeletal sites showed a significant reduction in bone tissue of the first lumbar vertebrae of chronically bled mice. CONCLUSIONS Our experimental data, together with existing clinical observations documenting the role of hematopoietic insufficiency in the development of osteoporosis, confirm our working hypothesis that chronic blood loss may be the primary factor responsible for the rapid and consistent development of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Reexpression of the fetally expressed beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) gene is a well documented marker of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and normal aging in many experimental models. To gain insights into factors affecting this reexpression of beta-MHC within the complex anatomical structure of the heart, we investigated the spatial pattern of its expression at the level of single cells during aging and hypertrophy. We generated mice that express yellow fluorescent protein fused to the N terminus of the beta-MHC and examined its expression pattern during normal aging and in mice with hypertrophy induced by constitutive expression of a renin transgene. The localization of fibrosis within the hearts also was determined by using a fluorescent lectin. The results show that reexpression of beta-MHC occurs in discrete subsets of myocytes within the subendocardium rather than uniformly throughout the heart, that beta-MHC induction is not an obligatory consequence of cellular hypertrophy, and that beta-MHC-expressing cells in the normal aging heart and the hypertrophic heart are distributed predominantly in clusters within and surrounding foci of fibrosis. We conclude that beta-MHC gene expression in the normal aging adult and hypertrophic mouse heart is a marker of fibrosis rather than of cellular hypertrophy.
