Abstract
Skeletal dysplasias are group of rare genetic diseases resulting from mutations in genes encoding structural proteins of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), signaling molecules, transcription factors, epigenetic modifiers, and several intracellular proteins. Cell division, organelle maintenance, and intracellular transport are all orchestrated by the cytoskeleton-associated proteins, and intracellular processes affected through microtubule-associated movement are important for the function of skeletal cells. Among microtubule-associated motor proteins, kinesins in particular have been shown to play a key role in cell cycle dynamics, including chromosome segregation, mitotic spindle formation, and ciliogenesis, in addition to cargo trafficking, receptor recycling, and endocytosis. Recent studies highlight the fundamental role of kinesins in embryonic development and morphogenesis and have shown that mutations in kinesin genes lead to several skeletal dysplasias. However, many questions concerning the specific functions of kinesins and their adaptor molecules as well as specific molecular mechanisms in which the kinesin proteins are involved during skeletal development remain unanswered. Here we present a review of the skeletal dysplasias resulting from defects in kinesins and discuss the involvement of kinesin proteins in the molecular mechanisms that are active during skeletal development.

Root resorption of primary molars and dental development of premolars in children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta medicated with bisphosphonates, grouped according to age and gender. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:857. [PMID: 39069613 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04557-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder characterized by bone fragility and skeletal alterations. The administration of bisphosphonates (BPs) to patients with OI reduces pain, thereby improving their quality of life. The main mechanism of action of BPs is the inhibition of osteoclast action. In the oral cavity of children with OI during growth and development, physiological processes that require the function of osteoclasts occur. The aim of this investigation was to study the dental development of premolars and the root resorption of primary molars in children with OI medicated with BPs according to age and sex. METHODS An observational and analytical study was designed. The study sample consisted of 26 6- to 12-year-old children with a confirmed diagnosis of OI treated with BPs with available panoramic radiographs. The control group consisted of 395 children with available panoramic radiographs. Both groups were divided into subgroups according to sex and age. The third quadrant was studied, focusing on the first left temporary molar (7.4), the second left temporary molar (7.5), the first left permanent premolar (3.4) and the second left permanent premolar (3.5). The Demirjian method was used to study the dental development of 3.4 and 3.5, and the Haavikko method was used to study the root resorption of 7.4 and 7.5. The Mann‒Whitney U test was used for comparisons, and p < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. RESULTS The mean chronological age of the 421 patients was 9.21 years (95% CI 9.05-9.37). The sample was reasonably balanced by sex, with 52.5% (221 patients) boys versus 47.5% (200 patients) girls. Delayed exfoliation and tooth development were described in children with OI (p = 0.05). According to sex, the root resorption of primary molars and tooth development were significantly lower in boys in both groups and in girls in the OI group, but the differences between the age groups were not significant. CONCLUSIONS Children with OI treated with BPs exhibit delayed dental development of the premolars and delayed root resorption of the primary molars. Boys exhibited delays in both variables, but the differences by age subgroup were not significant. These clinical findings support the importance of clinically and radiographically monitoring the dental development and root resorption of primary teeth in children with OI treated with BPs to avoid alterations of the eruptive process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous connective tissue disorders that share similar skeletal anomalies causing bone fragility and deformation. This study aimed to investigate the molecular genetic etiology and to determine the relationship between genotype and phenotype in OI patients with whole exome sequencing (WES). METHODS Multiplex-Ligation dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) analysis of COL1A1 and COL1A2 and WES were performed on cases between the ages of 0 and 18 whose genetic etiology could not be determined before using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel, including 13 genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, IFITM5, SERPINF1, CRTAP, P3H1, PPIB, SERPINH1, FKBP10, SP7, BMP1, MBTPS2, PLOD2) responsible for OI. RESULTS Twelve patients (female/male: 4/8) from 10 different families were included in the study. In 6 (50 %) families, consanguineous marriage was noted. The clinical typing based on Sillence classification; 3 (25 %) patients were considered to be type I, 7 (58.3 %) type III, and 2 (16.7 %) type IV. Deletion/duplication wasn't detected in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes in the MLPA analysis of the patients. Twelve patients were molecularly analyzed by WES, and in 6 (50 %) of them, a disease-causing variant in three different genes (FKBP10, P3H1, and WNT1) was identified. Two (33.3 %) detected variants in all genes have not been previously reported in the literature and were considered deleterious based on prediction tools. In 6 cases, no variants were detected in disease-causing genes. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates rare OI types' clinical and molecular features; genetic etiology was determined in 6 (50 %) 12 patients with the WES analysis. In addition, two variants in OI genes have been identified, contributing to the literature.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) commonly involving defects in COL1A1 and COL1A2 is a rare hereditary disease of bone fragility affecting 6-7 per 100,000 population. On the other hand, hypopituitarism is a separate entity that manifests with reduced levels of pituitary hormones. The cooccurrence of these two is seldom reported previously in literature as a deviation from Occam's razor. Here, we reported a case of pathological fracture in a 31-year-old male who had blue sclera and secondary adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and growth hormone deficiency along with primary autoimmune hypothyroidism. Diagnosis of OI was suggested by heterozygous missense variant in exon 40 of the COL1A2 gene (chr7: g.94423092G > A; Depth: 99×) that resulted in the amino acid substitution of Serine for Glycine at codon 847. Replacement of glucocorticoid, levothyroxine, and testosterone was started along with antiresorptive therapy for better bone health outcomes.

Abstract
Collagen is a highly abundant protein in the extracellular matrix of humans and mammals, and it plays a critical role in maintaining the body's structural integrity. Type I collagen is the most prevalent collagen type and is essential for the structural integrity of various tissues. It is present in nearly all connective tissues and is the main constituent of the interstitial matrix. Mutations that affect collagen fiber formation, structure, and function can result in various bone pathologies, underscoring the significance of collagen in sustaining healthy bone tissue. Studies on type 1 collagen have revealed that mutations in its encoding gene can lead to diverse bone diseases, such as osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder characterized by fragile bones that are susceptible to fractures. Knowledge of collagen's molecular structure, synthesis, assembly, and breakdown is vital for comprehending embryonic and foetal development and several aspects of human physiology. In this review, we summarize the structure, molecular biology of type 1 collagen, its biomineralization and pathologies affecting bone.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an uncommon genetic disorder characterized by shortness of stature, hearing loss, poor bone mass, recurrent fractures, and skeletal abnormalities. Pathogenic variations have been found in over 20 distinct genes that are involved in the pathophysiology of OI, contributing to the disorder's clinical and genetic variability. Although medications, surgical procedures, and other interventions can partially alleviate certain symptoms, there is still no known cure for OI. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of genetic pathogenesis, existing treatment modalities, and new developments in biotechnologies such as gene editing, stem cell reprogramming, functional differentiation, and transplantation for potential future OI therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a disease caused by defective collagen synthesis. Collagen type 1 is found in many structures in the cardiovascular system. Endothelial dysfunction, which develops prior to the emergence of structural and clinical signs of atherosclerosis, is believed to play a key role in atherogenesis. Endothelial dysfunction may be detected presymptomatically by non-invasive radiologic methods, such as flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). These modalities may provide early indicators of endothelial dysfunction. This cross-sectional comparative study aimed to investigate early-stage radiological markers of endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases in OI patients and healthy controls and to investigate the correlation of findings with OI genotype. METHODS Thirty patients diagnosed with OI were paired with thirty healthy age- and gender-matched controls and echocardiogram findings were compared. RESULTS None of the patients had known underlying cardiovascular disease. The mean age was 13.18 ± 2.91 years. According to Sillence classification, 15 patients had type 1 OI, 10 had type III, and 5 had type IV. Mean CIMT in the OI group was higher in the control group (OI group: 0.42 ± 0.06 vs. healthy controls: 0.34 ± 0.04 mm, p<0.01), and mean FMD percent was lower in the patient group (p<0.01). Left ventricular ejection fraction was 78.97 ± 10.32 vs. 77.56 ± 8.50 %, (OI group: 7.00 ± 3.06 vs. healthy controls: 12.14 ± 1.99, p=0.56), and fractional shortening was 42.68 ± 11.94 vs. 40.23 ± 7.99 %, (p=0.35), in OI patients and controls, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with OI without clinical signs of cardiovascular abnormality had significantly worse CIMT and FMD findings than healthy controls. However, no difference was determined when comparing left ventricular ejection fraction or fractional shortening. OI patients may need to be screened for cardiovascular system complications starting from an early age.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta is considered a rare genetic condition which is characterized by bone fragility. In 85% of cases, it is caused by mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes which are essential to produce type I collagen. We report the case of a female neonate delivered to a 27-year-old women at San Bartolomé Teaching Hospital with a family history of clavicle fracture. A prenatal control with ultrasound was performed to the mother at 29 weeks. A fetus with altered morphology and multiple fractures was found. Therefore, a prenatal diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta was performed. The neonate was born with a respiratory distress syndrome and an acyanotic congenital heart disease. Therefore, she remained in NICU until her death. We highlight the importance of prenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and a multidisciplinary evaluation in this type of pathologies and report a new probably pathogenic variant in the COL1A2 gene detected by exomic sequencing in amniotic fluid.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissue. It presents with a wide spectrum of skeletal and extraskeletal features, and ranges in severity from mild to perinatal lethal. The disease is characterized by a heterogeneous genetic background, where approximately 85%-90% of cases have dominantly inherited heterozygous pathogenic variants located in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. This paper presents the results of the first nationwide study, performed on a large cohort of 197 Polish OI patients. Variants were identified using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) custom gene panel and multiplex ligation probe amplification (MLPA) assay. The following OI types were observed: 1 (42%), 2 (3%), 3 (35%), and 4 (20%). Collagen type I pathogenic variants were reported in 108 families. Alterations were observed in α1 and α2 in 70% and 30% of cases, respectively. The presented paper reports 97 distinct causative variants and expands the OI database with 38 novel pathogenic changes. It also enabled the identification of the first glycine-to-tryptophan substitution in the COL1A1 gene and brought new insights into the clinical severity associated with variants localized in "lethal regions". Our results contribute to a better understanding of the clinical and genetic aspects of OI.

Abstract
Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) is a specific cause of lameness in commercial fast-growing broiler (meat-type) chickens and represents significant economic, health, and wellbeing burdens. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis remain poorly understood. This study represents the first comprehensive characterization of the proximal tibia proteome from healthy and BCO chickens. Among a total of 547 proteins identified, 222 were differentially expressed (DE) with 158 up- and 64 down-regulated proteins in tibia of BCO vs. normal chickens. Biological function analysis using Ingenuity Pathways showed that the DE proteins were associated with a variety of diseases including cell death, organismal injury, skeletal and muscular disorder, immunological and inflammatory diseases. Canonical pathway and protein-protein interaction network analysis indicated that these DE proteins were involved in stress response, unfolded protein response, ribosomal protein dysfunction, and actin cytoskeleton signaling. Further, we identified proteins involved in bone resorption (osteoclast-stimulating factor 1, OSFT1) and bone structural integrity (collagen alpha-2 (I) chain, COL2A1), as potential key proteins involved in bone attrition. These results provide new insights by identifying key protein candidates involved in BCO and will have significant impact in understanding BCO pathogenesis.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a disease caused by mutations in different genes resulting in mild, severe, or lethal forms. With no cure, researchers have investigated the use of cell therapy to correct the underlying molecular defects of OI. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of particular interest because of their differentiation capacity, immunomodulatory effects, and their ability to migrate to sites of damage. MSCs can be isolated from different sources, expanded in culture, and have been shown to be safe in numerous clinical applications. This review summarizes the preclinical and clinical studies of MSCs in the treatment of OI. Altogether, the culmination of these studies show that MSCs from different sources: 1) are safe to use in the clinic, 2) migrate to fracture sites and growth sites in bone, 3) engraft in low levels, 4) improve clinical outcome but have a transient effect, 5) have a therapeutic effect most likely due to paracrine mechanisms, and 6) have a reduced therapeutic potential when isolated from patients with OI.

Abstract
Purpose To identify the characteristic corneal biomechanical properties of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and to compare the corneal biomechanical properties between OI and keratoconus. Methods We included 46 eyes of 23 patients with OI, 188 eyes of 99 keratoconus patients, and 174 eyes of 92 normal controls to compare corneal biomechanical parameters between OI corneas, keratoconus, and normal controls by using Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (Corvis ST). Results Patients with OI had significantly higher Corvis biomechanical index (CBI) (P < 0.001), higher tomographic and biomechanical index (TBI) (P = 0.040), lower Corvis Biomechanical Factor (CBiF) (P = 0.034), and lower stiffness parameter at first applanation (SP-A1) (P < 0.001) compared with normal controls. In contrast, OI group showed lower CBI (P < 0.001), lower TBI (P < 0.001), higher CBiF (P < 0.001), and higher SP-A1 (P = 0.020) than keratoconus group. Notably, the stress-strain index (SSI) was not significantly different between the OI and normal controls (P = 1.000), whereas keratoconus showed the lowest SSI compared with OI group (P = 0.025) and normal controls (P < 0.001). Conclusions Although the corneal structures of OI patients are less stable and easier to deform as compared to those of the control group, there is no significant difference in material stiffness observed between the OI and normal controls. In contrast, the corneas of keratoconus showed not only lower structural stability and higher deformability but also lower material stiffness compared with those of OI cornea and normal controls. Translational Relevance The biomechanical alterations are different between OI corneas and keratoconus.

Abstract
Background: As a recurrent inflammatory bone disease, the treatment of osteomyelitis is always a tricky problem in orthopaedics. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators play significant roles in immune and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the function of m6A modification in osteomyelitis remains unclear. Methods: Based on the key m6A regulators selected by the GSE16129 dataset, a nomogram model was established to predict the incidence of osteomyelitis by using the random forest (RF) method. Through unsupervised clustering, osteomyelitis patients were divided into two m6A subtypes, and the immune infiltration of these subtypes was further evaluated. Validating the accuracy of the diagnostic model for osteomyelitis and the consistency of clustering based on the GSE30119 dataset. Results: 3 writers of Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), RNA-binding motif protein 15B (RBM15B) and Casitas B-lineage proto-oncogene like 1 (CBLL1) and three readers of YT521-B homology domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1), YT521-B homology domain-containing family 3 (YTHDF2) and Leucine-rich PPR motif-containing protein (LRPPRC) were identified by difference analysis, and their Mean Decrease Gini (MDG) scores were all greater than 10. Based on these 6 significant m6A regulators, a nomogram model was developed to predict the incidence of osteomyelitis, and the fitting curve indicated a high degree of fit in both the test and validation groups. Two m6A subtypes (cluster A and cluster B) were identified by the unsupervised clustering method, and there were significant differences in m6A scores and the abundance of immune infiltration between the two m6A subtypes. Among them, two m6A regulators (METTL3 and LRPPRC) were closely related to immune infiltration in patients with osteomyelitis. Conclusion: m6A regulators play key roles in the molecular subtypes and immune response of osteomyelitis, which may provide assistance for personalized immunotherapy in patients with osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous group of inherited bone dysplasias characterized by reduced skeletal mass and bone fragility. Although the primary manifestation of the disease involves the skeleton, OI is a generalized connective tissue disorder that requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Recent studies indicate that application of a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) neutralizing antibody increased bone volume fraction (BVF) and strength in an OI mouse model and improved bone mineral density (BMD) in a small cohort of patients with OI. In this work, we have developed a multitiered quantitative pharmacology approach to predict human efficacious dose of a new anti-TGF-β antibody drug candidate (GC2008). This method aims to translate GC2008 pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship in patients, using a number of appropriate mathematical models and available preclinical and clinical data. Compartmental PK linked with an indirect PD effect model was used to characterize both pre-clinical and clinical PK/PD data and predict a GC2008 dose that would significantly increase BMD or BVF in patients with OI. Furthermore, a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model incorporating GC2008 and the body's physiological properties was developed and used to predict a GC2008 dose that would decrease the TGF-β level in bone to that of healthy individuals. By using multiple models, we aim to reveal information for different aspects of OI disease that will ultimately lead to a more informed dose projection of GC2008 in humans. The different modeling efforts predicted a similar range of pharmacologically relevant doses in patients with OI providing an informed approach for an early clinical dose setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogenous group of heritable connective tissue disorders characterized by high bone fragility due to low bone mass and impaired bone material properties. Atypical type VI OI is an extremely rare and severe form of bone dysplasia resulting from a loss-of-function mutation (p.S40L) in IFITM5/BRIL,the causative gene of OI type V and decreased osteoblast secretion of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), as in OI type VI. It is not yet known which alterations at the material level might lead to such a severe phenotype. We therefore characterized bone tissue at the micrometer level in a novel heterozygous Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L knock-in murine model at 4 and 8 weeks of age. METHODS We evaluated in female mice, total body size, femoral and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In the femoral bone we examined osteoid deposition by light microscopy, assessed bone histomorphometry and mineralization density distribution by quantitative backscattered electron imaging (qBEI). Osteocyte lacunae were examined by qBEI and the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Vasculature was examined indirectly by qBEI as 2D porosity in cortex, and as 3D porosity by micro-CT in third trochanter. Collagen orientation was examined by second harmonic generation microscopy. Two-way ANOVA was used to discriminate the effect of age and genotype. RESULTS Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L female mice are viable, do not differ in body size, fat and lean mass from wild type (WT) littermates but have lower whole-body, lumbar and femoral BMD and multiple fractures. The average and most frequent calcium concentration, CaMean and CaPeak, increased with age in metaphyseal and cortical bone in both genotypes and were always higher in Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L than in WT, except CaMean in metaphysis at 4 weeks of age. The fraction of highly mineralized bone area, CaHigh, was also increased in Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L metaphyseal bone at 8 weeks of age and at both ages in cortical bone. The fraction of lowly mineralized bone area, CaLow, decreased with age and was not higher in Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L, consistent with lack of hyperosteoidosis on histological sections by visual exam. Osteocyte lacunae density was higher in Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L than WT, whereas canalicular density was decreased. Indirect measurements of vascularity revealed a higher pore density at 4 weeks in cortical bone of Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L than in WT and at both ages in the third trochanter. Importantly, the proportion of bone area with disordered collagen fibrils was highly increased in Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L at both ages. CONCLUSIONS Despite normal skeletal growth and the lack of a collagen gene mutation, the Ifitm5/BRIL p.S42L mouse shows major OI-related bone tissue alterations such as hypermineralization of the matrix and elevated osteocyte porosity. Together with the disordered lacuno-canalicular network and the disordered collagen fibril orientation, these abnormalities likely contribute to overall bone fragility.

Abstract
(1) Background: The Fassier−Duval (FD) nail was developed for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The aim of this study was to review the results of OI patients treated with the FD nail at our institution and discuss a surgical strategy to decrease the FD nail revision rate; (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed OI patients treated at our institution between 2015 and 2020. OI patients treated with FD nail insertion in the long bones of the lower extremities were included, and those with a follow-up duration <1 year or incomplete radiographs were excluded. Data on the type of OI, age, sex, use of bisphosphonate treatment, and nail failure were recorded; (3) Results: The final cohort consisted of seven patients (three females and four males) with ten femurs and ten tibiae involved. Six of the patients had type III OI, and one had type IV OI. An exchange of implant was required in 11 limbs. The average interval between previous FD nail insertion and revision surgery was 2.4 years; (4) Discussion: The main reasons for revision surgery were migration of the male/female component, refracture/nail bending, and delayed union. In the femur, migration of the female component or nail bending were common reasons for failure, while migration of the male component and delayed union were common in the tibia; (5) Conclusions: Surgery for OI patients is challenging, and physicians should aim to minimize complications and the need for revision. Sufficient depth of purchase, center−center nail position, and adequate osteotomy to correct bowing are the key factors when using the FD nail.

Abstract
Short stature is the second conspicuous characteristic of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), but the etiological mechanism is unclear. The proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes (GPCs) plays an essential role in longitudinal bone growth, and chondrocyte division deficiency can cause shortened limbs. However, few studies have reported the abnormal changes of growth plate and GPCs in OI. In this study, the cell proliferative performance of GPCs in heterozygous Col1a2oim/+ mice were studied and the underlying mechanism was explored by RNA-Sequencing. The results indicated that chondrocytes of Col1a2oim/+ background displayed impaired cell division when compared with cells of wild-type littermates. A group of differentially expressed genes involving chondrocyte proliferation related pathways including cell cycle, TGF-β signaling pathway and Hedgehog signaling pathway were identified. These dysregulated genes and pathways in GPCs of Col1a2oim/+ mice are likely to play an important role in their shortened long bones. Further investigations to reveal the effect of these genes on bone elongation not only facilitate the understanding of OI short stature, but also contribute to developing new treatments.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta/Ehlers−Danlos (OI/EDS) overlap syndrome is a recently described disorder of connective tissue, characterized by mutation of COL1A1 (17q21.33) or COL1A2 (7q21.3) genes, that are involved in α-1 and α-2 chains of type 1 collagen synthesis. The clinical spectrum of this new clinical entity is broad: patients could present a mixed phenotype that includes features of both osteogenesis imperfecta (bone fragility, long bone fractures, blue sclerae, short stature) and Ehlers−Danlos syndrome (joint hyperextensibility, soft and hyperextensible skin, abnormal wound healing, easy bruising, vascular fragility). We reported the case of a young Caucasian girl with severe short stature and a previous history of neuroblastoma, who displayed the compound phenotype of OI/EDS. Next generation sequencing was applied to the proband and her parent genome. Our patient presented a de novo heterozygous COL1A1 variant (c.3235G>A, p.Gly1079Ser), whose presence might be indicative of diagnosis of OI/EDS overlap syndrome. We also hypothesize that the association with the previous history of neuroblastoma could be influenced by the presence of COL1A1 mutation, whose role has been already described in the behavior and progression of some cancers.

The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V Mutant BRIL/IFITM5 Promotes Transcriptional Activation of MEF2, NFATc, and NR4A in Osteoblasts. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042148.

Abstract
BRIL (bone restricted ifitm-like; also known as IFITM5) is a transmembrane protein expressed in osteoblasts. Although its role in skeletal development and homeostasis is unknown, mutations in BRIL result in rare dominant forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. The pathogenic mechanism has been proposed to be a gain-of or neomorphic function. To understand the function of BRIL and its OI type V mutant (MALEP BRIL) and whether they could activate signaling pathways in osteoblasts, we performed a luciferase reporter assay screen based on the activity of 26 transcription factors. When overexpressed in MC3T3-E1 and MLO-A5 cells, the MALEP BRIL activated the reporters dependent on MEF2, NFATc, and NR4A significantly more. Additional co-transfection experiments with MEF2C and NFATc1 and a number of their modulators (HDAC4, calcineurin, RCAN, FK506) confirmed the additive or synergistic activation of the pathways by MALEP, and suggested a coordinated regulation involving calcineurin. Endogenous levels of Nr4a members, as well as Ptgs2, were upregulated by MALEP BRIL. Y2H and co-immunoprecipitation indicated that BRIL interacted with CAML, but its contribution as the most upstream stimulator of the Ca2+-calcineurin-MEF2/NFATc cascade was not confirmed convincingly. Altogether the data presented provide the first ever readout to monitor for BRIL activity and suggest a potential gain-of-function causative effect for MALEP BRIL in OI type V, leading to perturbed signaling events and gene expression.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), which is most often due to a collagen type 1 gene mutation, is characterized by low bone density and bone fragility. In OI patients, gender-related differences were reported, but data in the literature are not convergent. We previously observed that sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab), which stimulates osteoblast Wnt pathway via sclerostin inactivation, improved spine and long-bone parameters and biomechanical strength in female oim/oim mice, a validated model of human type 3 OI. Here, we wanted to highlight the effect of Scl-Ab on male oim/oim bones in order to identify a possible distinct therapeutic effect from that observed in females. According to the same protocol as our previous study with female mice, male wild-type (Wt) and oim/oim mice received vehicle or Scl-Ab from 5 to 14 weeks of age. Clinimetric and quantitative bone parameters were studied using X-rays, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, microradiography, and dynamic histomorphometry and compared to those of females. Contrary to Wt mice, male oim/oim had significantly lower weight, snout-sacrum length, and bone mineral content than females at 5 weeks. No significant difference in these clinimetric parameters was observed at 14 weeks, whereas male oim showed significantly more long-bone fractures than females. Scl-Ab improved bone mineral density and bone volume/total volume ratio (BV/TV) of vertebral body in Wt and oim/oim, without significant difference between male and female at 14 weeks. Male vehicle oim/oim had a significantly lower cortical thickness (Ct.Th) and BV/TV of tibial diaphysis than female and showed a higher number of fractures at 14 weeks. Scl-Ab increased midshaft periosteal apposition rate in such a way that tibial Ct.Th of male oim/oim was not significantly different from the female one at 14 weeks. The number of fractures was lower in male than female oim/oim after 14 weeks of Scl-Ab treatment, but this difference was not significant. Nevertheless, Scl-Ab-treated oim/oim male and female mice remained smaller than the Wt ones. In conclusion, our results highlighted differences between male and female oim/oim at 4 and 14 weeks of age, as well as some male-specific response of cortical bone to Scl-Ab. These gender-related particularities of oim/oim should be considered when testing experimental treatments.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder demonstrating considerable phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. The extensively studied genotype-phenotype correlation is a crucial issue for a reliable counseling, as the disease is recognized at increasingly earlier stages of life, including prenatal period. Based on population studies, clusters in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes associated with the presence of glycine substitutions leading to fatal outcome have been distinguished and named as "lethal regions." Their localization corresponds to the ligand-binding sites responsible for extracellular interactions of collagen molecules, which could explain high mortality associated with mutations mapping to these regions. Although a number of non-lethal cases have been identified from the variants located in lethal clusters, the mortality rate of mutations has not been updated. An next generation sequencing analysis, using a custom gene panel of known and candidate OI genes, was performed on a group of 166 OI patients and revealed seven individuals with a causative mutations located in the lethal regions. Patients' age, ranging between 3 and 25 years, excluded the expected fatal outcome. The identification of non-lethal cases caused by mutations located in lethal domains prompted us to determine the actual mortality caused by glycine substitutions mapping to lethal clusters and evaluate the distribution of all lethal glycine mutations across collagen type I genes, based on records deposited in the OI Variant Database. Finally, we identified six glycine substitutions located in lethal regions of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes, of which four are novel. The review of all mutations in the dedicated OI database, revealed 33 distinct glycine substitutions in two lethal domains of COL1A1, 26 of which have been associated with a fatal outcome. Similarly, 109 glycine substitutions have been identified in eight lethal clusters of COL1A2, of which 51 have been associated with a fatal manifestation. An analysis of all glycine substitutions leading to fatal phenotype, showed that their distribution along collagen type I genes is not regular, with 17% (26 out of 154) of mutations reported in COL1A1 and 64% (51 out of 80) in COL1A2 corresponding to localization of the lethal regions.

Abstract
Ras homologous guanosine triphosphatases (RhoGTPases) control several cellular functions, including cytoskeletal actin remodeling and cell migration. Their activities are downregulated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Although RhoGTPases are implicated in bone remodeling and osteoclast and osteoblast function, their significance in human bone health and disease remains elusive. Here, we report defective RhoGTPase regulation as a cause of severe, early-onset, autosomal-dominant skeletal fragility in a three-generation Finnish family. Affected individuals (n = 13) presented with multiple low-energy peripheral and vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density (BMD). Bone histomorphometry suggested reduced bone volume, low surface area covered by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and low bone turnover. Exome sequencing identified a novel heterozygous missense variant c.652G>A (p.G218R) in ARHGAP25, encoding a GAP for Rho-family GTPase Rac1. Variants in the ARHGAP25 5' untranslated region (UTR) also associated with BMD and fracture risk in the general population, across multiple genomewide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses (lead variant rs10048745). ARHGAP25 messenger RNA (mRNA) was expressed in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-stimulated human monocytes and mouse osteoblasts, indicating a possible role for ARHGAP25 in osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation and activity. Studies on subject-derived osteoclasts from peripheral blood mononuclear cells did not reveal robust defects in mature osteoclast formation or resorptive activity. However, analysis of osteosarcoma cells overexpressing the ARHGAP25 G218R-mutant, combined with structural modeling, confirmed that the mutant protein had decreased GAP-activity against Rac1, resulting in elevated Rac1 activity, increased cell spreading, and membrane ruffling. Our findings indicate that mutated ARHGAP25 causes aberrant Rac1 function and consequently abnormal bone metabolism, highlighting the importance of RhoGAP signaling in bone metabolism in familial forms of skeletal fragility and in the general population, and expanding our understanding of the molecular pathways underlying skeletal fragility. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Matricellular proteins (MCPs) are defined as extracellular matrix (ECM) associated proteins that are important regulators and integrators of microenvironmental signals, contributing to the dynamic nature of ECM signalling. There is a growing understanding of the role of matricellular proteins in cellular processes governing tissue development as well as in disease pathogenesis. In this review, the expression and functions of different MP family members (periostin, CCNs, TSPs, SIBLINGs and others) are presented, specifically in relation to craniofacial development and the maintenance of orofacial tissues, including bone, gingiva, oral mucosa, palate and the dental pulp. As will be discussed, each MP family member has been shown to have non-redundant roles in development, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, pathology and tumorigenesis of orofacial and dental tissues.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by fractures and progressive bone deformities. Fracture rates peak during the toddler and adolescent years and decline during adulthood but do not stop entirely. We describe a kindred, the affected members of which were the mother and two sons, who presented with an apparently unique phenotype of OI. Our patients demonstrated a pattern of prenatal bone deformities followed by multiple, nontraumatic long bone fractures within the first two years of life and then an absence of nontraumatic fractures thereafter. No extra-skeletal manifestations have been noted to date. The mother did not receive bisphosphonate therapy but had no nontraumatic fractures after the age of five months. Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy was started for both sons within two months of birth, with the most recent infusions at age 18 months and 28 months in Patients 2 and 3, respectively. Two patients harbored a variant of uncertain significance in the COL1A1 gene. This heterozygous variant, c.3548C>T; p.(Pro1183Leu), is listed in the OI Variant Database as affecting only one other individual with osteopenia. We describe three family members with a unique presenting phenotype of OI, characterized by cessation of nontraumatic fractures after the first two years of life.

Abstract
Multiple genes are known to be associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a phenotypically and genetically heterogenous bone disorder, marked predominantly by low bone mineral density and increased risk of fractures. Recently, mutations affecting MESD, which encodes for a chaperone required for trafficking of the low-density lipoprotein receptors LRP5 and LRP6 in the endoplasmic reticulum, were described to cause autosomal-recessive OI XX in homozygous children. In the present study, whole-exome sequencing of three stillbirths in one family was performed to evaluate the presence of a hereditary disorder. To further characterize the skeletal phenotype, fetal autopsy, bone histology, and quantitative backscattered electron imaging (qBEI) were performed, and the results were compared with those from an age-matched control with regular skeletal phenotype. In each of the affected individuals, compound heterozygous mutations in MESD exon 2 and exon 3 were detected. Based on the skeletal phenotype, which was characterized by multiple intrauterine fractures and severe skeletal deformity, OI XX was diagnosed in these individuals. Histological evaluation of MESD specimens revealed an impaired osseous development with an altered osteocyte morphology and reduced canalicular connectivity. Moreover, analysis of bone mineral density distribution by qBEI indicated an impaired and more heterogeneous matrix mineralization in individuals with MESD mutations than in controls. In contrast to the previously reported phenotypes of individuals with OI XX, the more severe phenotype in the present study is likely explained by a mutation in exon 2, located within the chaperone domain of MESD, that leads to a complete loss of function, which indicates the relevance of MESD in early skeletal development. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Bruck Syndrome (BRKS) is a rare type of recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and consists of two subtypes, BRKS1 and BRKS2, which are caused by variations in FKBP10 and PLOD2 genes, respectively. In this study, a family that had experienced multiple miscarriages and recurrent fetal skeletal dysplasia was recruited for the purpose of a multiplatform laboratory investigation. Prenatal genetic testing with whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a compound heterozygous variation in the PLOD2 gene with two variants, namely c.2038C>T (p.R680*) and c.191_201+3 delATACTGTGAAGGTA (p.Y64Cfs*12). The amino acids affected by the two variants maintained conserved across species. And the result of immunohistochemistry (IHC) indicated that the expression of PLOD2 protein in the proband's osteochondral tissue was significantly decreased. These findings in our study expanded the variation spectrum of PLOD2 gene, provided solid evidence for the family's counseling in regard to future pregnancies, strongly supported the application of WES in prenatal diagnosis, and might give insight into the understanding of PLOD2 function.

Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of the work is to identify some imaging parameters in osteogenesis imperfecta to assist the dentist in the diagnosis, planning, and orthodontic treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) using 3D cone beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and the Double Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technique. (2) Methods: 14 patients (9 males and 5 females; aged mean ± SD 15 ± 1.5) with a clinical-radiological diagnosis of OI were analyzed and divided into mild and moderate to severe forms. The patients' samples were compared with a control group of 14 patients (8 males and 6 females; aged mean ± SD 15 ± 1.7), free from osteoporotic pathologies. (3) Results: The statistical analysis allowed us to collect four datasets: in the first dataset (C1 sick population vs. C1 healthy population), the t-test showed a p-value < 0.0001; in the second dataset (C2 sick population vs. C2 healthy population), the t-test showed a p-value < 0.0001; in the third dataset (parameter X of the sick population vs. parameter X of the healthy population), the t-test showed a p-value < 0.0001; in the fourth dataset the bone mineralometry (BMD) value detected by the DEXA technique compared to the C2 value of the OI affected population only) the Welch-Satterthwaite test showed a p-value < 0.0001. (4) Conclusions: The research has produced specific imaging parameters that assist the dentist in making diagnostic decisions in OI patients. This study shows that patients with OI have a characteristic chin-bearing symphysis, thinned, and narrowed towards the center, configuring it with a constant "hourglass" appearance, not reported so far in the literature by any author.

[PMID: 33304945 PMCID: PMC7718132 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2020.100735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 11/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders of connective tissue that cause skeletal fragility and extra-skeletal manifestations. Classically, four different types of OI were distinguished. Type 5 OI was added due to its distinct clinical and radiographic features. In 2012, two independent groups identified a recurrent heterozygous c.-14C>T mutation in IFITM5 as the responsible genetic change for this type of OI. To our knowledge, cervical kyphosis has not been identified in the literature as a finding in type 5 OI patients. This is a retrospective review of a cohort of patients with type 5 OI and a description of associated cervical spine deformity. Methods After institutional review board approval, a retrospective review identified 13 patients with type 5 OI. Clinical, radiologic, and genetic data from 2002 to 2020 were reviewed. Results We identified 13 patients with clinical diagnosis of type 5 OI. Twelve had molecular confirmation and the classic IFITM5, c.14C>T gene mutation was identified. The remaining individual did not undergo genetic testing. Dentinogenesis imperfecta was observed in one patient, while blue sclerae or hearing loss were not present. All patients had at least one fracture and four underwent intramedullary rodding. Radiologic features included subphyseal metaphyseal radiodense line in 12/13 patients (92%), interosseous membrane calcification in seven of 13 patients (54%) (more commonly noted in the upper extremities), and hypertrophic callus in six of 13 patients (46%). Thoracolumbar spinal deformities were seen in six of 13 patients (46%) with two of these individuals requiring surgery. Cervical kyphosis was noted in nine of 13 individuals (69%) ranging in age from 3 months to 22 years. Anterior wedging of the cervical vertebral bodies was noted in the absence of any fractures. Six of nine individuals demonstrated listhesis of C2-C3 or C3-C4 segment. Magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed and reviewed in patients with cervical kyphosis and subluxation; three patients showed narrowing of spinal canal without cervical cord compression and one asymptomatic patient showed impingement of the spinal cord. Conclusions Cervical kyphosis appears to be a common feature of type 5 OI. It can be a presenting and apparently life-long association and does not appear to be caused by vertebral body fractures. Evaluation for cervical kyphosis should be performed in patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of type 5 OI. Furthermore, if cervical kyphosis is noted in an individual with OI, type 5 OI should be considered.Level of evidence: IV.

Abstract
Collagens are the most abundant proteins in the extracellular matrix. They provide a framework to build organs and tissues and give structural support to make them resistant to mechanical load and forces. Several intra- and extracellular modifications are needed to make functional collagen molecules, intracellular post-translational modifications of proline and lysine residues having key roles in this. In this article, we provide a review on the enzymes responsible for the proline and lysine modifications, that is collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases, 3-hydroxylases and lysyl hydroxylases, and discuss their biological functions and involvement in diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between Fassier-Duval (FD) rod placement and rod failure rates has not previously been quantified. METHODS Retrospective review was conducted on patients with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with FD rods between 2005 and 2017. Age at first surgery, sex, Sillence type of osteogenesis imperfecta, bisphosphonate treatment, location of rod (side of body and specific bone), and dates of surgeries, radiographs, and rod failures were collected. C-arm images determined rod fixation within the distal epiphysis at the time of surgery. C-arm variables included rod deviation (percent deviation from the midline of the distal epiphysis) and anatomical direction of deviation (anterior/posterior and medial/lateral). X-ray images were examined for rod failure, which was defined as bending, pulling out of the physis, protrusion out of the bone, and/or failure to telescope. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compare failure rates with location of placement within the distal epiphysis allowing for clustering of the data by side (left or right) and bone (femur or tibia). RESULTS The cohort was 13 patients (11 female individuals and 2 male individuals) with a total of 66 rods and 75 surgeries. Mean time from the first surgery to the last follow-up visit was 8.9 years (SD=5 y). There was a 7% increase in hazard of failure per 1-mm increase in antero-posterior (AP) deviation [hazard ratio (HR), 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.14; P=0.029)]. Similarly, there was a 9% increase in hazard of failure for every 1-mm increase in lateral deviation (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01-1.18; P=0.019). A 12% increase in hazard of failure per 10% increase in deviation from the midline for both AP and lateral radiograph views was also found, although this was only statistically significant for lateral deviation on the AP radiograph view (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.01-1.25; P=0.030). CONCLUSIONS FD rod placement within the distal epiphysis has significant impact on increasing rod survival. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III-therapeutic study.

Abstract
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of oral bisphosphonates in increasing bone mineral density (BMD), reducing fractures, and improving clinical function in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Methods Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were randomized controlled trials of directly comparing oral bisphosphonate therapy with placebo‐group in OI patients. Data synthesis regarding to bone mineral density as measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA), decreased fracture incidence, change in biochemical markers of bone and mineral metabolism, bone histology, growth, bone pain, quality of life, and others were assessed, and meta‐analysis done when possible. Results From 98 potential references and six randomized controlled studies a total of 263 participants receiving oral bisphosphonates and 143 placebo treatments contributed data to meta‐analysis. Pooled meta‐analysis of three studies suggested that there was significant difference between bisphosphonate treated group and placebo in number of patients with at least one fracture (mean difference 0.53, 95% confidence interval 0.32–0.89, P = 0.02). Pooled meta‐analysis of two studies suggested that significant difference was noted between bisphosphonate treated group and placebo in mean percentage change in spine BMD (T‐score) (mean difference 28.43, 95% confidence interval 7.09‐49.77, P = 0.009). The similar effect was shown in the term of mean change (Z‐score) in spine BMD. Conclusions Significant improvement in lumbar areal BMD in patients affected with OI has been shown when treated with oral bisphosphonates, even though only a small population was enrolled. We cannot draw a definite conclusion that the increase in BMD can be translated into fracture reduction and clinical functional improvement. The optimal method, dose, type, initiation, and duration of oral bisphosphonates therapy still remains unclear. Well‐designed, adequately‐powered, placebo‐controlled RCTs investigating the effects of oral bisphosphonates on fractures reduction and improvement in quality of life in both children and adults are studied here.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be induced to process osteogenic differentiation with appropriate mechanical and/or chemical stimuli. The present study described the successful culture of murine BMSCs under mechanical strain. BMSCs were subjected to 0%, 3%, 8%, 13%, and 18% cyclic tensile strain at 0.5 Hz for 8 hr/day for 3 days. The expression of osteogenic markers and mechanosensitive ion channels was evaluated with real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot. The expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and matrix mineralization were evaluated with histochemical staining. To investigate the effects of mechanosensitive ion channel expression on cyclic tensile strain-induced osteogenic differentiation, the expression of osteogenic markers was evaluated with real-time RT-PCR in the cells without mechanosensitive ion channel expression. This study revealed a significant augment in osteogenic marker in BMSC strained at 8% compared to other treatments; therefore, an 8% strain was used for further investigations. The ALP expression and matrix mineralization were enhanced in osteogenic induced BMSCs subjected to 8% strain after 7 and 14 days, respectively. Under the same conditions, the osteogenic marker and mechanosensitive ion channel expression were significantly promoted. However, the loss function of mechanosensitive ion channels resulted in the inhibition of osteogenic marker expression. This study demonstrated that strain alone can successfully induce osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs and the expression of mechanosensitive ion channels was involved in the process. The current findings suggest that mechanical stretch could function as efficient stimuli to induce the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the activation of mechanosensitive ion channels.

Abstract
Respiratory disease is a leading cause of mortality in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a connective tissue disease that causes severely reduced bone mass and is most commonly caused by dominant mutations in type I collagen genes. Previous studies proposed that impaired respiratory function in OI patients was secondary to skeletal deformities; however, recent evidence suggests the existence of a primary lung defect. Here, we analyzed the lung phenotype of Crtap knockout (KO) mice, a mouse model of recessive OI. While we confirm changes in the lung parenchyma that are reminiscent of emphysema, we show that CrtapKO lung fibroblasts synthesize type I collagen with altered posttranslation modifications consistent with those observed in bone and skin. Unrestrained whole body plethysmography showed a significant decrease in expiratory time, resulting in an increased ratio of inspiratory time over expiratory time and a concomitant increase of the inspiratory duty cycle in CrtapKO compared with WT mice. Closed-chest measurements using the forced oscillation technique showed increased respiratory system elastance, decreased respiratory system compliance, and increased tissue damping and elasticity in CrtapKO mice compared with WT. Pressure-volume curves showed significant differences in lung volumes and in the shape of the curves between CrtapKO mice and WT mice, with and without adjustment for body weight. This is the first evidence that collagen defects in OI cause primary changes in lung parenchyma and several respiratory parameters and thus negatively impact lung function.

Abstract
Chest deformities in Osteogenesis Imperfecta patients affect pulmonary function. We present the rib cage deformities related to pulmonary function. There are significant relations between ribs shape and spirometric parameters. There is no relationship between thoracic spine shape and spirometric parameters. Correction of rib cage deformities will serve for better patients’ management.
The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that ribs shape changes in patients with OI are more relevant for respiratory function than thoracic spine shape. We used 3D geometric morphometrics to quantify rib cage morphology in OI patients and controls, and to investigate its relationship with forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), expressed as absolute value and as percentage of predicted value (% pred). Regression analyses on the full sample showed a significant relation between rib shape and FEV1, FVC and FVC % pred whereas thoracic spine shape was not related to any parameter. Subsequent regression analyses on OI patients confirmed significant relations between dynamic lung volumes and rib shape changes. Lower FVC and FEV1 values are identified in OI patients that present more horizontally aligned ribs, a greater antero-posterior depth due to extreme transverse curve at rib angles and a strong spine invagination, greater asymmetry, and a vertically short, thoraco-lumbar spine, which is relatively straight in at levels 1–8 and shows a marked kyphosis in the thoraco-lumbar transition. Our research seems to support that ribs shape is more relevant for ventilator mechanics in OI patients than the spine shape.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) types VII, VIII and IX, caused by recessive mutations in cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP), prolyl-3-hydroxylase 1 (P3H1) and cyclophilin B (PPIB), respectively, are characterized by the synthesis of overmodified collagen. The genes encode for the components of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) complex responsible for the 3-hydroxylation of specific proline residues in type I collagen. Our study dissects the effects of mutations in the proteins of the complex on cellular homeostasis, using primary fibroblasts from seven recessive OI patients. In all cell lines, the intracellular retention of overmodified type I collagen molecules causes ER enlargement associated with the presence of protein aggregates, activation of the PERK branch of the unfolded protein response and apoptotic death. The administration of 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) alleviates cellular stress by restoring ER cisternae size, and normalizing the phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK):PERK ratio and the expression of apoptotic marker. The drug also has a stimulatory effect on autophagy. We proved that the rescue of cellular homeostasis following 4-PBA treatment is associated with its chaperone activity, since it increases protein secretion, restoring ER proteostasis and reducing PERK activation and cell survival also in the presence of pharmacological inhibition of autophagy. Our results provide a novel insight into the mechanism of 4-PBA action and demonstrate that intracellular stress in recessive OI can be alleviated by 4-PBA therapy, similarly to what we recently reported for dominant OI, thus allowing a common target for OI forms characterized by overmodified collagen. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper. Editor's choice: Mutations in the collagen 3-prolyl hydroxylation complex cause a cellular stress that is rescued by the chaperone ability of 4-phenylbutyrate.

Schwarze U, Cundy T, Liu YJ, Hofman PL, Byers PH. Compound heterozygosity for a frameshift mutation and an upstream deletion that reduces expression of SERPINH1 in siblings with a moderate form of osteogenesis imperfecta. Am J Med Genet A 2019; 179:1466-1475. [PMID: 31179625 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.61170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Revised: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
SERPINH1 encodes the collagen chaperone HSP47 that binds to arginine-rich sequences in the type I procollagen trimers and provides the final steps in the folding and stabilization of the triple helical domain. Loss of both alleles in mice results in very early embryonic lethality. SERPINH1 mutations have been associated with one of the rarest forms of recessively inherited osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with a moderate to severe phenotype. We identified a family with non-consanguineous unaffected parents who had two children with moderate short stature, low bone density, and fractures. Both children were compound heterozygotes for two mutations: a frameshift in the last exon that deleted the RER retention signal, and a 5,274 bp deletion 2.37 kb upstream from the transcription start site. The maternally-inherited frameshift allele was expressed at normal levels, but the protein was unstable. The mRNA encoded by the second allele represented about 50% of that from the frameshift-containing allele. The upstream deletion was inherited from the father, and the mRNA encoded by that allele in his cultured dermal fibroblasts was also expressed at a low level, which confirmed that this domain had a regulatory function for SERPINH1. Regulatory mutations are uncommon causes of human genetic disorders, and the ability to measure expression levels in appropriate cells is key to their identification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival of Fassier-Duval (FD) telescoping rods as compared with static implants in children affected by osteogenesis imperfecta is not well characterized. The purpose of this study was to compare risk of lower extremity implant failure in FD rods versus static implants. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who underwent surgical treatment using either FD rods or static implants (Rush rods, flexible nails, or Steinmann pins) between 1995 and 2015. The timing of implant failure was the primary outcome variable of interest. Comparisons were limited to limbs with no previous history of implants. Cox-proportional hazards regression analyses were used to compare the hazard of implant failure across implants. Negative binomial regression analyses were used to compare the incidence of surgical procedures in the 2 implant groups. RESULTS The final cohort consisted of 64 limbs (n=21 patients). The static implant group (n=38) consisted of 24 Rush rods (63%), 14 flexible nails (37%), and 2 Steinmann pins (5%). The hazard of implant failure in the static implant group was 13.2 times [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.5-69.6; P=0.0024] the hazard of implant failure in the FD rod group. The hazard of implant failure among females was 4.8 (95% CI, 1.4-16.7; P=0.0125) times the hazard of implant failure among males. The total surgery rate in the static implant group was 7.8 (95% CI, 1.8-33.0; P=0.0056) times the total surgery rate in the FD group. CONCLUSIONS Among surgically naive limbs, FD rods were associated with significantly improved probability of survival compared with static implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II-retrospective study.

Abstract
Type I collagen is an important structural protein of bone, skin, tendon, ligament and other connective tissues. It is initially synthesized as a precursor form, procollagen, consisting of two identical pro-α1(I) and one proα2(I) chains, encoded by COL1A1 and COL1A2, respectively. The N- and C- terminal propeptides of procollagen are cleavage by N-proteinase and C-proteinase correspondingly, to form the central triple helix structure with Gly-X-Y repeat units. Mutations of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta, some types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Caffey diseases, and osteogenesis imperfect/Ehlers- Danlos syndrome overlapping diseases. Clinical symptoms caused by different variations can be variable or similar, mild to lethal, and vice versa. We reviewed the relationship between clinical manifestations and type I collagen - related rare genetic disorders and their possible molecular mechanisms for different mutations and disorders.

Challenges of delivery of dental care and dental pathologies in children and young people with osteogenesis imperfecta. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2019; 20:473-480.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is the most common inherited disorder of bone fragility in children, increasing fracture risk 100-fold and can feature dental and facial bone involvement causing additional morbidities. AIM To assess the utilisation of tertiary dental services by children and young people with OI attending a supra-regional multi-disciplinary OI service and review of the pathology identified and interventions undertaken. DESIGN Case notes review of the current caseload of children and young people (0-18 years) with OI at a large regional OI specialist centre (n = 92). Primary outcome was whether an initial dental assessment was arranged in a tertiary dental centre and the corresponding attendance. RESULTS 49% had a tertiary dental assessment arranged, of whom 82% attended (one quarter requiring several appointments) and 18% did not attend (DNA).Those travelling > 100 miles had a DNA rate of 47%. Assessed children had dentinogenesis imperfecta (24%, 50% in Type III OI), radiographs (95%), caries (41%), required extraction under general anaesthesia (38%) and malocclusion (30%). 48% of the total cohort received bisphosphonates. CONCLUSION Tertiary dental assessment encountered barriers to uptake of recommended referral in all patients, often due to geographic factors of travel distance, yet when implemented did identify pathology in a large proportion and many resulted in dental intervention. These emphasise the relevance of specialist dental assessment in OI, particularly in the modern context of increased use of bisphosphonates. This is challenging to achieve and several models of delivery of care may need to be considered in this chronic childhood condition.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder, characterized by reduced bone content, fractures and skeletal malformation due to abnormal synthesis or dysfunction of type I collagen protein. Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is usually associated with environmental and hereditary factors. Here, we report a rare case of OI and PSIS co-occurrence. A 19-year-old male patient sought treatment for growth delay and absent secondary sexual characteristics. Hormone measurements indicated the presence of hypopituitarism (secondary hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, ACTH-cortisol hormone deficiency, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism). Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging indicated reduced morphology of the anterior lobe, absence of the pituitary stalk, and ectopic displacement of the posterior lobe to the infundibulum, supporting a diagnosis of PSIS. In addition, the patient, his monozygotic twin brother (no evidence of PSIS), and their mother all presented blue sclera and susceptibility to bone fractures before adulthood. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated that the family had compound heterozygous mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2, with no known mutations related to PSIS, pituitary hormone deficiency (PHD), or holoprosencephaly (HPE). The mother experienced breech and natural delivery of the patient and his brother, respectively. Thus, we deduced that the patient's PSIS might have resulted from breech delivery. Although we cannot exclude the possibility that the proband might have an undetected genetic abnormality causing PSIS or increasing his susceptibility to damage to the hypothalamic-pituitary region due to the limitation of exome sequencing, this rare case suggests that breech delivery in the newborn with OI might be related to PSIS.

Abstract
We begin this chapter by describing normal characteristics of several pertinent connective tissue components, and some of the basic changes they undergo with ageing. These alterations are not necessarily tied to any specific disease or disorders, but rather an essential part of the normal ageing process. The general features of age-induced changes, such as skin wrinkles, in selected organs with high content of connective or soft tissues are discussed in the next part of the chapter. This is followed by a section dealing with age-related changes in specific diseases that fall into at least two categories. The first category encompasses common diseases with high prevalence among mostly ageing populations where both genetic and environmental factors play roles. They include but may not be limited to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, tendon dysfunction and injury, age-related disorders of spine and joints. Disorders where genetics plays the primary role in pathogenesis and progression include certain types of progeria, such as Werner syndrome and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria belong to the second category discussed in this chapter. These disorders are characterized by accelerated signs and symptoms of ageing. Other hereditary diseases or syndromes that arise from mutations of genes encoding for components of connective tissue and are less common than diseases included in the first group will be discussed briefly as well, though they may not be directly associated with ageing, but their connective tissue undergoes some changes compatible with ageing. Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are primary examples of such disorders. We will probe the role of specific components of connective tissue and extracellular matrix if not in each of the diseases, then at least in the main representatives of these disorders.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by deteriorated bone microarchitecture and low bone mineral density, is a chronic skeletal disease with high worldwide prevalence. Osteoporosis related to aging is the most common form and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Rare, monogenic forms of osteoporosis have their onset usually in childhood or young adulthood and have specific phenotypic features and clinical course depending on the underlying cause. The most common form is osteogenesis imperfecta linked to mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2, the two genes encoding type I collagen. However, in the past years, remarkable advancements in bone research have expanded our understanding of the intricacies behind bone metabolism and identified novel molecular mechanisms contributing to skeletal health and disease. Especially high-throughput sequencing techniques have made family-based studies an efficient way to identify single genes causative of rare monogenic forms of osteoporosis and these have yielded several novel genes that encode proteins partaking in type I collagen modification or regulating bone cell function directly. New forms of monogenic osteoporosis, such as autosomal dominant osteoporosis caused by WNT1 mutations or X-linked osteoporosis due to PLS3 mutations, have revealed previously unidentified bone-regulating proteins and clarified specific roles of bone cells, expanded our understanding of possible inheritance mechanisms and paces of disease progression, and highlighted the potential of monogenic bone diseases to extend beyond the skeletal tissue. The novel gene discoveries have introduced new challenges to the classification and diagnosis of monogenic osteoporosis, but also provided promising new molecular targets for development of pharmacotherapies. In this article we give an overview of the recent discoveries in the area of monogenic forms of osteoporosis, describing the key cellular mechanisms leading to skeletal fragility, the major recent research findings and the essential challenges and avenues in future diagnostics and treatments.

Abstract
Type I collagen, a major component of bone, skin, and other connective tissues, is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and passes through the secretory pathway. Rerouting of its procollagen precursor to a degradative pathway is crucial for reducing intracellular buildup in pathologies caused by defects in procollagen folding and trafficking. Here, we identify an autophagy pathway initiated at ER exit sites (ERESs). Procollagen proteins following this pathway accumulate at ERESs modified with ubiquitin, LC3, p62, and other autophagy machinery. Modified ERESs carrying procollagen are then engulfed by lysosomes through a microautophagy-like mechanism, not involving conventional, double-membrane autophagosomes. Procollagen homeostasis thus involves a noncanonical mode of autophagy initiated at ERESs, which might also be important in degradation of other secretory proteins. Type I collagen is the main component of bone matrix and other connective tissues. Rerouting of its procollagen precursor to a degradative pathway is crucial for osteoblast survival in pathologies involving excessive intracellular buildup of procollagen that is improperly folded and/or trafficked. What cellular mechanisms underlie this rerouting remains unclear. To study these mechanisms, we employed live-cell imaging and correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) to examine procollagen trafficking both in wild-type mouse osteoblasts and osteoblasts expressing a bone pathology-causing mutant procollagen. We found that although most procollagen molecules successfully trafficked through the secretory pathway in these cells, a subpopulation did not. The latter molecules appeared in numerous dispersed puncta colocalizing with COPII subunits, autophagy markers and ubiquitin machinery, with more puncta seen in mutant procollagen-expressing cells. Blocking endoplasmic reticulum exit site (ERES) formation suppressed the number of these puncta, suggesting they formed after procollagen entry into ERESs. The punctate structures containing procollagen, COPII, and autophagic markers did not move toward the Golgi but instead were relatively immobile. They appeared to be quickly engulfed by nearby lysosomes through a bafilomycin-insensitive pathway. CLEM and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching experiments suggested engulfment occurred through a noncanonical form of autophagy resembling microautophagy of ERESs. Overall, our findings reveal that a subset of procollagen molecules is directed toward lysosomal degradation through an autophagic pathway originating at ERESs, providing a mechanism to remove excess procollagen from cells.

Abstract
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a broad term that describes a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases that are only united by a common denominator of an aberrant bone chemical milieu leading to a defective skeleton and bone abnormalities. From a forensic pathologist's perspective, MBDs create a challenging diagnostic dilemma in differentiating them from child abuse, particularly when the victim is an infant. Through this brief narrative review on MBD, bone pathophysiology and two relatively challenging pediatric MBDs will be discussed.

Abstract
The build-up of diversified and tissue-specific assemblies of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins depends on secreted and cell surface-located molecular arrays that coordinate ECM proteins into discrete designs. The family of small leucine-rich proteins (SLRPs) associates with and dictates the structure of fibrillar collagens, which form the backbone of most ECM types. However, whether SLRPs form complexes with proteins other than collagens is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47), a well-established endoplasmic reticulum-resident collagen chaperone, also binds the SLRPs decorin, lumican, and fibromodulin with affinities comparable with that in the Hsp47-type I collagen interaction. Furthermore, we show that a lack of Hsp47 inhibits the cellular secretion of decorin and lumican. Our results expand the understanding of the concerted molecular interactions that control the secretion and organization of a functional collagenous ECM.

Abstract
It has been reported that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800012 in COL1A1 might be associated with the susceptibility to sports-related tendon and ligament injuries such as ACL injuries, Achilles tendon injuries, shoulder dislocations and tennis elbow. But the data from different studies have been conflicting. Here we attempted to systematically summarize and clarify the association between the SNP and sports-related tendon and ligament injuries risk. Six eligible studies including 933 cases and 1,381 controls were acquired from PubMed, Web Of Science and Cochrane library databases. Significant association was identified in homozygote model (TT versus GG: OR=0.17, 95%CI 0.08-0.35, PH=0.00) and recessive model (TT versus GT/GG: OR=0.21, 95%CI 0.10-0.44, PH=0.00). Our results indicated that COL1A1 rs1800012 polymorphism may be associated with the reduced risk of sports-related tendon or ligament injuries, especially in ACL injuries, and that rare TT may played as a protective role.

Abstract
Bone quality encompasses all the characteristics of bone that, in addition to density, contribute to its resistance to fracture. In this review, we consider changes in architecture, porosity, and composition, including collagen structure, mineral composition, and crystal size. These factors all are known to vary with tissue and animal ages, and health status. Bone morphology and presence of microcracks, which also contribute to bone quality, will not be discussed in this review. Correlations with mechanical performance for collagen cross-linking, crystallinity, and carbonate content are contrasted with mineral content. Age-dependent changes in humans and rodents are discussed in relation to rodent models of disease. Examples are osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and osteopetrosis in both humans and animal models. Each of these conditions, along with aging, is associated with increased fracture risk for distinct reasons.

Abstract
In the last decade, there have been a number of significant advances made in the field of rare bone diseases. In this review, we discuss the expansion of the classification system for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and the resultant increase in therapeutic options available for management of OI. Bisphosphonates remain the most widely used intervention for OI, although the effect on fracture rate reduction is equivocal. We review the other therapies showing promising results, including denosumab, teriparatide, sclerostin, transforming growth factor β inhibition and gene targeted approaches. X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most common heritable form of osteomalacia and rickets caused by a mutation in the phosphate regulating endopeptidase gene resulting in elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and decreased renal phosphate reabsorption. The traditional treatment is phosphate replacement. We discuss the development of a human anti-FGF23 antibody (KRN23) as a promising development in the treatment of XLH. The current management of primary hypoparathyroidism is replacement with calcium and active vitamin D. This can be associated with under or over replacement and its inherent complications. We review the use of recombinant parathyroid hormone (1-84), which can significantly reduce the requirements for calcium and vitamin D resulting in greater safety and quality of life for individuals with hypoparathyroidism. The use of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand infusions in the treatment of a particular form of osteopetrosis and enzyme replacement therapy for hypophosphatasia are also discussed.
