Bone-targeting engineered small extracellular vesicles carrying anti-miR-6359-CGGGAGC prevent valproic acid-induced bone loss. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2024; 9:24. [PMID: 38246920 PMCID: PMC10800355 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-023-01726-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The clinical role and underlying mechanisms of valproic acid (VPA) on bone homeostasis remain controversial. Herein, we confirmed that VPA treatment was associated with decreased bone mass and bone mineral density (BMD) in both patients and mice. This effect was attributed to VPA-induced elevation in osteoclast formation and activity. Through RNA-sequencing, we observed a significant rise in precursor miR-6359 expression in VPA-treated osteoclast precursors in vitro, and further, a marked upregulation of mature miR-6359 (miR-6359) in vivo was demonstrated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and miR-6359 fluorescent in situ hybridization (miR-6359-FISH). Specifically, the miR-6359 was predominantly increased in osteoclast precursors and macrophages but not in neutrophils, T lymphocytes, monocytes and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) following VPA stimulation, which influenced osteoclast differentiation and bone-resorptive activity. Additionally, VPA-induced miR-6359 enrichment in osteoclast precursors enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by silencing the SIRT3 protein expression, followed by activation of the MAPK signaling pathway, which enhanced osteoclast formation and activity, thereby accelerating bone loss. Currently, there are no medications that can effectively treat VPA-induced bone loss. Therefore, we constructed engineered small extracellular vesicles (E-sEVs) targeting osteoclast precursors in bone and naturally carrying anti-miR-6359 by introducing of EXOmotif (CGGGAGC) in the 3'-end of the anti-miR-6359 sequence. We confirmed that the E-sEVs exhibited decent bone/osteoclast precursor targeting and exerted protective therapeutic effects on VPA-induced bone loss, but not on ovariectomy (OVX) and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporotic models, deepening our understanding of the underlying mechanism and treatment strategies for VPA-induced bone loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study investigated the possible impacts of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) on trabecular and cortical bone in the mandible. STUDY DESIGN Fractal dimension (FD) and the radiomorphometric parameters of mandibular cortical width (MCW), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and mandibular cortical index (MCI) were assessed on 497 dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) of patients in the case group and controls. AEDs were compared according to 3 generations, duration of use, and patient age and sex. RESULTS FD of the angle and body of the mandible and MCW were significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (P < .001). FD values in the ramus and angle were lower in first-generation and third-generation AEDs than in second-generation drugs (P ≤ .011). FD in the mandibular body was lower in first-generation and second-generation AED users than in third-generation drugs (P = .017). Drug use for at least 1 year resulted in significantly lower values for all FDs and MCW values and more class 3 MCI assessments than short-duration use, but PMI was higher with more than 1 year of AED use (P ≤ .020). Age and sex had no significant effects. CONCLUSIONS AEDs caused significant changes in bone compared with controls in some FD values, MCW, and MCI. The effect of drug generation is pronounced in trabecular bone. Anti-epileptic drug use for more than 1 year had a greater effect than short-term use.

Abstract
Increasing number of studies shows significant reductions in bone mineral density in patients with epilepsy treated with enzyme-inducing anti-seizure medications (EIASM), valproic acid, and newer anti-seizure medications (ASM). ASM seems to be a specific risk factor for the development of osteoporosis affecting 11%-31% of patients with epilepsy and leads to 2 to 6 times increased risk of fractures compared to the background population. Treatment with ASM clearly contributes to epilepsy-associated bone disease. Yet, the exact pathophysiological mechanism has not been established; however, several hypotheses were suggested, especially in relation to EIASM. As the long-lasting medical treatment, often in polytherapy, has shown negative effects on bone health, it indicates the need for guidelines for the prevention and management of bone disease to be included in the follow-up of patients with epilepsy. An algorithm for following bone status during the treatment has been suggested based on Danish national guidelines.

Abstract
Introduction Long-term treatment with antiepileptic drugs may cause secondary osteoporosis. The present study investigated the influence of simvastatin (SIM) in reversing the effects of valproate on bone defect healing in normal and ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Methods Bone defects in femora were established in seven experimental groups of rats: control (vehicle), sodium valproate (SVP; 300 mg/kg/d), SVP plus SIM (25 mg/kg/d), sham control (sham), OVX, OVX SVP and OVX SVP plus SIM. All rats were euthanized at 8 weeks after bone defect creation. Results Micro-CT, biomechanical and histological evaluations demonstrated lower bone strength and delayed bone healing in the SVP therapy group compared with the SVP plus SIM therapy group. Biochemical and immunohistochemical results showed that osteocalcin (OCN), collagen I (Col I) and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) levels decreased, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 precursor (TRACP-5b) expression increased, and Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL) expression were upregulated in the SVP therapy rats compared with the SVP plus SIM therapy group. Bone loss was exacerbated by OVX, but the effect of SIM in ameliorating bone loss was also more marked in the OVX rats. Conclusions This study indicated lower bone strength and delayed healing of bone defects in rats given SVP therapy, especially the OVX SVP treatment group. In contrast, treatment with SIM was effective in enhancing bone strength and promoting bone defect repair and showed significant influence on promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders include severe psychiatric disorders and those in general with some psychiatric disorders having a clear etiology or in which a significant psychiatric predisposing factor is present. Whereas, psychiatric disorders precisely refer to those characterized by mild depression and mild anxiety and appear to affect a large number of people in any community. It has been reported that the disease is highly prevalent and has a huge impact on the individual, family, and community levels, resulting in a heavy burden on the healthcare system of a country. To explore the status of somatic symptoms in young and middle-aged psychiatric patients during long-term hospitalization, a total of 114 young and middle-aged psychiatric patients with prolonged hospitalization (more than 5 years) were included. Data information of the hospitalized patients was recorded, including preadmission somatic symptoms, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasound, and blood tests. In addition, a homemade questionnaire was administered, and general information about the patients was also collected, including gender, age, current medication use, and duration of medication use. Correlations between cardiometabolic disease, osteoporosis, and long-term oral antipsychotic medication were analyzed in these young and middle-aged patients. The prevalence of comorbid somatic symptoms was 77.2%, and concomitant disorders included mainly cardiometabolic disorders, osteoporosis, pulmonary infections, cerebrovascular disorders, digestive disorders, fractures, and skin conditions. The incidence of somatic symptoms caused by long-term use of antipsychotic drugs was about 88.6%, and the incidence of concomitant somatic symptoms was higher in young and middle-aged psychiatric patients who were hospitalized for a long time. The current study observed a high prevalence of somatic symptoms in young and middle-aged patients with long-term inpatient psychiatric illness. Endocrine and metabolic disorders, particularly dyslipidemia, may trigger a range of deleterious effects. In addition to this, there is a high incidence of osteoporosis. Special attention should be paid to the side effects of antipsychotic drugs, and appropriate measures are needed to make early diagnosis and provide early treatment to reduce the occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases and osteoporosis.

Complications associated with the use of enzyme-inducing and non-enzyme-inducing anti-seizure medications in the Japanese population: A retrospective cohort study. Epilepsy Behav 2022; 129:108610.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enzyme-inducing anti-seizure medications (EIASMs) may contribute to the development of complications such as fracture and cardiovascular disease. The objective of the study was to determine whether the use of EIASMs is associated with a higher risk of fracture and cardiovascular outcome in young Japanese patients with epilepsy. METHOD Adult patients diagnosed with epilepsy and initiated a monotherapy with an anti-seizure medication (ASM) between 2008 and 2018 were included in the study. The primary outcomes were the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke. The secondary outcome was fracture. We performed a propensity score-matched analysis (1:1) to control for imbalances in patient characteristics, and the matched hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULT Of the 7115 eligible patients, 626 (8.79%) initiated treatment with EIASMs. The median age of the patients was 44 years (interquartile range: 31-54 years), and 56.2% were male. Propensity score matching generated 626 matched pairs of patients treated with EIASMs and non-EIASMs. There were no significant differences in the risk of stroke (EIASM group: n = 28[4.47%], non-EIASM group: n = 22[3.51%], HR: 1.47, 95% CI: 0.79-2.72, p = 0.22) or fracture (EIASM group: n = 7[1.12%], non-EIASM group: n = 5[0.80%], HR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.29-3.45, p = 1.00) between the two groups. The hazard ratio for the occurrence of AMI could not be calculated due to the small number of events (EIASM group: n = 0[0.00], non-EIASM group: n = 2[0.32]). SIGNIFICANCE Our cohort study did not find increased risk of the occurrence of stroke, AMI, or fracture hospitalization with the use of enzyme-inducing ASMs. Although the findings suggested that exposure to EIASMs does not appear to increase the risk of complications in young patients, caution should be taken as patients with epilepsy tend to take medication in the long run.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to the bone and lung, but the ability to treat metastatic tumor cells remains a pressing clinical challenge. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have emerged as promising targets since these enzymes are aberrantly expressed in numerous cancers and regulate the expression of genes that drive tumorigenesis and metastasis. This review focuses on the abnormal expression of histone-modifying enzymes in cancers that have a high tropism for the bone and lung and explores the clinical use of histone deacetylase inhibitors for the treatment and prevention of metastasis to these sites. RECENT FINDINGS Preclinical studies have demonstrated that the role for HDACs is highly dependent on tumor type and stage of disease progression. HDAC inhibitors can induce apoptosis, senescence, cell differentiation, and tumor dormancy genes and inhibit angiogenesis, making these promising therapeutics for the treatment of metastatic disease. HDAC inhibitors are already FDA approved for hematologic malignancies and are in clinical trials with standard-of-care chemotherapies and targeted agents for several solid tumors, including cases of metastatic disease. However, these drugs can negatively impact bone homeostasis. Although HDAC inhibitors are not currently administered for the treatment of bone and lung metastatic disease, preclinical studies have shown that these drugs can reduce distant metastasis by targeting molecular factors and signaling pathways that drive tumor cell dissemination to these sites. Thus, HDAC inhibitors in combination with bone protective therapies may be beneficial in the treatment of bone metastatic cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alteration of bone strength is an adverse effect of antiepileptic drug treatment. We investigated the effects of zonisamide (ZNS) monotherapy on bone mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers of bone metabolism after 13 months of treatment in drug-naive epileptic patients. METHODS Fifty-nine patients with new onset drug-naive epilepsy were enrolled (29 women, 30 men; mean age = 31.5 ± 11.5 years). The BMD and T scores were measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Biomarkers specific for bone metabolism (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, insulinlike growth factor-1, C-telopeptide, and vitamin D3 levels) were measured before and after long-term ZNS monotherapy. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to estimate BMD and biomarkers of bone metabolism before and after ZNS therapy. Age, sex, treatment duration, and ZNS dosage were included as covariates for adjustment in the ANCOVA model. Furthermore, subgroup analyses were performed for each sex, and the effect size was calculated. RESULTS After 13 months of ZNS treatment, the BMD and T scores at the lumbar spine (L1-L4 level) and femoral neck were not significantly different. Moreover, the biochemical markers showed no significant differences after ZNS monotherapy. Women showed significantly decreased baseline BMD at the femoral neck compared to men (P = .026), although the mean age and body mass index were not significantly different between the sexes. No significant changes in BMD or biomarkers of bone metabolism were seen in either sex after 13 months of ZNS treatment. SIGNIFICANCE The results suggest that long-term ZNS monotherapy does not affect bone health in drug-naive patients with epilepsy negatively.

Abstract
Background:
Based on previous studies, vitamin D deficiency could lead to nerve stimulation.
The purpose of the present study was to determine frequency and duration of seizures in children
with idiopathic epilepsy in two groups; normal level of vitamin D versus decreased level of
vitamin D.
Methods:
This pilot, comparative study was carried out in Zanjan University of Medical Sciences on
total 40 children aging between 2 to 12 years old (23 male and 17 female) with the diagnosis of idiopathic
epilepsy. All patients were receiving anti-epileptic drugs. The initial questionnaire was completed
by each parent. Total 40 epileptic cases were examined in close follow-ups every three
months, during total 9 months. Meanwhile, the frequency and duration of each seizure were recorded
in questionnaire at every three-month period. Vitamin D blood samples were analyzed at the beginning
of the study and after 9 months following the study. Serum levels of Vitamin D were analyzed
by ELISA method (Elecsys2010, RocheCo, Germany; STAR FAX; 2100), simultaneously, Vitamin D
level <30 ng/ml (nanogram per milliliter) was defined as Vitamin D deficiency. Cases were divided
into two groups based on Vitamin D level. The frequency and duration of convulsions were compared
in patients with normal level of vitamin D versus children with decreased level of vitamin D.
Data were analyzed by Chi-square and t-test methods.
Results:
In all 40 patients, vitamin D level less than 30 ng/ml was detected in 32% (13 patients) at
the beginning of study and 35% (14 patients) in 9 months later (13 patients were common between
the two groups). There was no significant relationship between the frequency of seizures, the duration
of seizures and vitamin D levels in patients. The relationship between positive family history of
epilepsy and the number of seizures was reported significant. The frequency of vitamin D deficiency
was higher in female cases in final evaluation.
Conclusion:
In the present study, a considerable correlation was detected between the frequency of
seizures and positive history of seizure in the family. The frequency of vitamin D deficiency was
higher in female cases in final analysis. No significant relationship was detected between the number
of seizures, the mean duration of seizures and serum level of Vitamin D in children who received anticonvulsant
drugs. However, vitamin D deficiency in patients was not overlooked in order to prevent
known complications. We recommend a randomized clinical trial in the future with an adequate sample
size. Moreover, a non-epileptic control group in study would be useful.

Abstract
A range of bone abnormalities including short stature have been reported to be associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in children. Exactly how AEDs impact skeletal growth, however, is not clear. In the present study, rat growth plate chondrocytes were cultured to study the effects of AEDs, including valproic acid (VPA), oxcarbazepine (OXA), levetiracetam (LEV), lamotrigine (LTG), and topiramate (TPM) on the skeletal growth. VPA markedly reduced the number of chondrocytes by apoptosiswhile other AEDs had no effect. The apoptosis associated noncleaved and cleaved caspase 3, and caspases were increased by exposure to VPA, which up-regulated cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) mRNA and protein levels likely through histone acetylation. The COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 attenuated the effects of VPA up-regulating COX-2 expression and decreased VPA-induced caspase 3 expression. The use of VPA in children should be closely monitored or replaced, where appropriate, by AEDs which do not apparently affect the growth plate chondrocytes.

Abstract
Patients with neurological disorders are at high risk of developing osteoporosis, as they possess multiple risk factors leading to low bone mineral density. Such factors include inactivity, decreased exposure to sunlight, poor nutrition, and the use of medication or treatment that can cause lower bone mineral density such as antiepileptic drugs, ketogenic diet, and glucocorticoids. In this article, mechanisms involved in altered bone health in children with neurological disorders and management for patients with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy regarding bone health are reviewed.

[PMID: 32088519 DOI: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2020.106287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 01/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of antiseizure medication (ASM) and bone density abnormalities has long been recognized; however, there remains a lack of consensus on efficacy and optimal vitamin D dosing in patients receiving enzyme inducing and non-inducing ASMs. The objective was to explore the relationship between ASMs and vitamin D supplementation requirements in a population of adult patients with epilepsy. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of epilepsy receiving supplemental vitamin D were included in this retrospective chart review. All instances of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD) measured among those patients were compared between patients taking an enzyme inducing antiseizure medication (EIASM) to patients receiving ASM regimens only containing non-enzyme inducing antiseizure medications (NIASM). ASM use, prescription and over the counter (OTC) vitamin D use, 25-OHD plasma concentration, presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), age, gender, and ethnicity were collected. Multiple linear regression was used to adjust for potentially confounding variables; the model included a cluster by participant term to account for repeated patients in the dataset. RESULTS There were 542 vitamin D levels evaluated from 172 unique patients. There was an 11.5 % higher absolute percent increase in patients who achieved a 25-OHD level over 30 ng/mL in the NIASM (p = 0.012). Patients on EIASMs were supplemented with an additional 508 units of vitamin D daily (95 %CI 136-878, p = 0.007). When adjusted for CKD, OTC vitamin D use, OTC multivitamin use, age, gender, and ethnicity, patients on EIASMs were supplemented with an additional 445 units of vitamin D (95 %CI -69 to 960, p = 0.089) compared to NIASM use. CONCLUSIONS Patients taking EIASMs had an increase in vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D supplementation suggesting that EIASMs impact vitamin D metabolism. Closer monitoring of vitamin D status in patients with epilepsy, especially those on EIASMs, is warranted. This evaluation suggests that for patients taking ASM, use of a lower dose OTC requires closer monitoring of vitamin D status in patients with epilepsy, especially those on EIASMs, is warranted. vitamin D agent may not be adequate.

Abstract
Cell-type-specific gene expression is physiologically modulated by the binding of transcription factors to genomic enhancer sequences, to which chromatin modifiers such as histone deacetylases (HDACs) are recruited. Drugs that inhibit HDACs are in clinical use but lack specificity. HDAC3 is a stoichiometric component of nuclear receptor co-repressor complexes whose enzymatic activity depends on this interaction. HDAC3 is required for many aspects of mammalian development and physiology, for example, for controlling metabolism and circadian rhythms. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms by which HDAC3 regulates cell type-specific enhancers, the structure of HDAC3 and its function as part of nuclear receptor co-repressors, its enzymatic activity and its post-translational modifications. We then discuss the plethora of tissue-specific physiological functions of HDAC3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data on the effects of GBP on bone and no data for PGB. Some data suggest that there is a significant influence of sex hormone balance on the susceptibility of bone to antiepileptic drug-induced bone loss. METHODS Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into six groups that were subjected to two surgeries, sham (noORX) or real orchidectomy (ORX), and were fed three diets, a SLD, a SLD enriched with GBP or a SLD enriched with PGB. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the bone mineral density. The concentrations of bone turnover markers were assayed. The femurs were biomechanically tested. RESULTS Significant reductions in bone mineral density, weight and biomechanical strength were observed in ORX animals. GBP or PGB exposure did not cause significant alterations in bone mineral density or biomechanical strength. No changes in bone turnover markers were observed, except for RANKL. A significant increase was found in the ORX GBP and ORX PGB groups. Within the orchidectomized animal group, RANKL levels were significantly higher in the ORX PGB group than in the ORX GBP group. CONCLUSIONS Because neither GBP nor PGB affected bone mineral density or mechanical bone strength, both of these antiepileptic drugs could be considered drugs with lower risks to bone health. A shift in RANKL levels indicates that the effects of GBP and PGB on osteoclast activity may be dependent on the hormonal status of animals.

Bone Health in Rats With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in the Absence of Anti-Epileptic Drugs. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:1278. [PMID: 31749702 PMCID: PMC6842946 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.01278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Epilepsy patients often exhibit reduced bone mineral density and are at an increased risk of bone fracture. Whether these bone abnormalities are due to the use of anti-epileptic drugs (AED’s) or the disease itself is unknown. For example, although decreased bone health in epilepsy patients is generally attributed to the use of AED’s, seizures can also trigger a number of physiological processes that have the potential to affect bone. Therefore, to assess whether bone abnormalities occur in epilepsy in the absence of AED’s, the current study investigated mechanical characteristics and trabecular bone morphology in rats with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods: Ten-week old male Wistar rats underwent kainic acid-induced status epilepticus (SE; n = 7) or a sham procedure (n = 9). Rats were implanted with EEG recording electrodes at nine weeks post-SE, and video-EEG was continuously recorded for one week at 10- and 22-weeks post-SE to confirm that SE rats had spontaneous seizures. Open-field testing to assess locomotion was conducted at 23-weeks post-SE. At 24-weeks post-SE, rats were euthanized and tibia were extracted to determine trabecular morphology by micro-computed tomography (µCT), while femurs were used to investigate mechanical properties via 3-point bending. Results: All post-SE rats had spontaneous seizures at 10- and 22-weeks post-SE, while none of the sham rats had seizures. µCT trabecular analysis of tibia revealed no differences in total volume, bone volume, bone volume fraction, trabecular number, or trabecular separation between post-SE or sham rats, although post-SE rats did have increased trabecular thickness. There were also no group differences in total distance travelled in the open field suggesting that activity levels did not account for the increased trabecular thickness. In addition, no differences in mechanical properties of femurs were observed between the two groups. Conclusion: There was a lack of overt bone abnormalities in rats with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy in the absence of AED treatment. Although further studies are still needed, these findings may have important implications towards understanding the source (e.g., AED treatments) of bone abnormalities in epilepsy patients.

Abstract
Objective: Data on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) from valproate (VPA) therapy are ambiguous and conflicting. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review the existing data and carry out a meta-analysis to investigate the effect of VPA as a monotherapy on BMD in people with epilepsy (PWE). Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE for eligible studies. We calculated the standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) to investigate the statistical power of the association between VPA treatment and BMD. Results: Nineteen studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. We found that BMD was lower in the VPA group than in the control group (SMD: −0.44; 95% CI: −0.65 to −0.22). A significant association was found in adult patients (SMD: −0.57; 95% CI: −0.88 to −0.26; I2 = 69.8%) and pediatric patients (SMD: −0.32; 95% CI: −0.60 to −0.03; I2 = 67.8%) by subgroup analysis. This study indicated that BMD was significantly lower in patients treated for more than 36 months than in controls (SMD: −0.52; 95% CI: −0.76 to −0.27; I2 = 61.8%). However, a significant difference was not found between patients who were treated for less than 36 months and controls (SMD: −0.36; 95% CI: −0.72 to 0.01; I2 = 74.8%). Conclusion and significance: The present study provided evidence that VPA treatment was significantly associated with BMD loss in PWE. Thus, for patients at a high risk of osteoporosis and fracture, especially for patients who need long-term treatment, VPA may not be a good choice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to investigate any adverse effects of long-term valproic acid (VPA) therapy on bone biochemical markers in ambulatory children and adolescents with epilepsy, and the possible benefits of vitamin D supplementation on the same markers. METHODS In this single center, the prospective interventional study levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and the bone turnover indices of Crosslaps (CTX), total alkaline phosphatase (tALP), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and the receptor activator for nuclear factor kB (RANK) ligand (sRANKL) were assessed before and after one year of vitamin D intake (400 IU/d) and were compared with those of clinically healthy controls. Fifty-four ambulatory children with mean (±standard deviation [SD]) age 9.0 ± 4.5 yrs on VPA (200-1200 mg/d) long-term monotherapy (mean: 3.2 ± 2.6 yrs) were studied, before and after a year's vitamin D intake (400 IU/d). RESULTS Nearly half of the cases were vitamin D insufficient/deficient with mean levels 23.1 ± 12.8 vs 31.8 ± 16.2 ng/mL of controls (p = 0.004) and after the year of vitamin D intake increased to 43.2 ± 21.7 ng/mL (p < 0.0001). In parallel, serum CTX and tALP had a decreasing trend approaching control levels but OPG and sRANKL did not change and were not different from controls. However, after vitamin D intake, a positive correlation was seen between 25OHD and OPG but not before. CONCLUSIONS The findings imply a higher bone turnover in the young patients on long-term VPA therapy that decreased after vitamin D intake.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare Vitamin D (Vit D) levels in children with epilepsy on valproate monotherapy with healthy controls. METHODS A meta-analysis performed on articles identified from PubMed and Web of Science online databases evaluated using National Institute of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Study Quality Assessment Tools. Subgroup analyses and publication bias assessments were also performed. RESULTS Eleven publications were eligible based on inclusion/exclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Results noted a decrease in the mean Vit D level in children with epilepsy on valproate monotherapy compared with healthy children with a Standard Mean Difference = -0.313 [-0.457, -0.169]. Cumulative meta-analysis showed progressive negative effect of valproate therapy on Vit D levels across time. Other antiepileptic medications caused a similar effect on Vit D status. There was no evidence of publication bias in the analyses. Type of study design and country of origin introduced heterogeneities into the meta-analyses. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis provides evidence that long-term therapy with valproate causes a decrease in Vit D levels in children. Therefore, in children with a seizure disorder on long-term valproate therapy, 25-OH-Vit D levels should be monitored and appropriate supplementation implemented if levels are deficient.

Abstract
AIM Patients with epilepsy frequently develop hyponatremia due to the treatment with antiepileptic drugs and have an increased risk of developing metabolic bone disease. Hyponatremia is known to be associated with osteoporosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between hyponatremia and osteoporosis in patients with epilepsy. METHOD AND MATERIAL This cross-sectional study included patients with epilepsy from a tertiary epilepsy out-patient clinic in Denmark, who had a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan performed and an accompanying plasma sodium (p-Na) measured prior to or a maximum of 14 days after the scan. Information regarding the patients' health and medical conditions were obtained from their medical reports. RESULTS A total of 695 patients (females 53.8%, age 49 (34:63) years (median (quartiles)) were included. 10.4% had hyponatremia (p-Na ≤ 135 mmol/L). The hyponatremic patients had significantly lower T-scores in the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total femur (all p < 0.023) and the odds ratio of osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5) was significantly increased (2.91 (1.61-5.27) (95% confidence interval) (p = 0.001)). When adjusting for potential confounders the patients with moderate and severe hyponatremia (p-Na < 129 mmol/L) had a significantly lower mean T-score in the lumbar spine (p = 0.030). CONCLUSION We conclude that hyponatremia is common in patients with epilepsy and that moderate and severe hyponatremia is independently associated with decreased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine. Therefore, hyponatremia in a patient with epilepsy should warrant further examination of the patient for bone loss and osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although classic anti-epileptic drugs have been associated with increased fracture risk, data are lacking on the outcomes of newer anti-epileptic drugs, such as gabapentin (GBP), levetiracetam, pregabalin, oxcarbazepine (OXC), and topiramate. This study was designed to determine fracture risks in the elderly associated with newly-developed anti-epileptic drugs. METHODS A total of 2,169 patients (median age = 71.01 years, SD = 11.25 years) who experienced fractures between 2006 and 2013 were selected. For each case, age-, sex-, and comorbidity-matched controls were selected. The assessed clinical outcome was any fracture, and the use of anti-epileptic drugs was used as an exposure variable. RESULTS There were no differences in age, sex, or comorbidities between patients and controls, but patients with fractures often lived in urban areas (odds ratio [OR] = 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05-1.29) and had low income (OR = 1.14; 95% CI = 1.01-1.29) compared to controls. A significant increase in fractures was associated with OXC (OR = 3.31; 95% CI = 1.59-6.92), carbamazepine (CBZ; OR = 2.18; 95% CI = 1.31-3.61), and GBP (OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.01-3.18). Phenobarbital (OR = 1.97; 95%CI = 0.53-7.34), phenytoin (OR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.23-1.16), levetiracetam (OR = 1.84; 95% CI = 0.55-6.16), valproic acid (OR = 1.01; 95% CI = 0.53-1.92), lamotrigine (OR = 1.44; 95% CI = 0.12-16.65), and topiramate (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.10-2.31) were not associated with fracture risk. CONCLUSIONS CBZ, GBP, and OXC users have a significantly higher risk of fracture. Most recently-developed anti-epileptic drugs are not associated with an increased risk of fracture in individuals aged ≥50 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES (1) To investigate the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis among adults with intellectual disabilities (IDs) and (2) to examine alternative optimal bone screening techniques. DESIGN Observational cross-sectional study. SETTING Wave 2 (2013-2106) of the Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. PARTICIPANTS A national representative sample of 604 male and female persons with ID aged 43 years and over. In total, 575 participants completed quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements for one or both feet. OUTCOME MEASURES Participants underwent health assessments consisting of eight objective health measures including the standardised QUS of the calcaneus bone using a GE Lunar Achilles. A preinterview questionnaire and face-to-face interview were also completed. RESULTS Objectively QUS identified poorer rates of bone health in people with ID overall with 74% indicating evidence of osteopenia (33.2%) or osteoporosis (41%). Females scored lower than males in the QUS t-scores -2.208 (±1.77) versus -1.78(±1.734). Bone status was stratified by gender (p=0.114), age (p=0.003), level of ID (p<0.0001) and living circumstance (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This study has shown the prevalence of poor bone health in people with ID is substantial implying an increased risk of fracture due to reduced skeletal integrity. QUS screening has been shown to be useful when combined with clinical risk factors.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue that must respond to developmental, repair, and remodeling cues in a rapid manner with changes in gene expression. Carefully-coordinated cycles of bone resorption and formation are essential for healthy skeletal growth and maintenance. Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells that are responsible for breaking down bone by secreting acids to dissolve the bone mineral and proteolytic enzymes that degrade the bone extracellular matrix. Increased osteoclast activity has a severe impact on skeletal health, and therefore, osteoclasts represent an important therapeutic target in skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis. Progression from multipotent progenitors into specialized, terminally-differentiated cells involves carefully-regulated patterns of gene expression to control lineage specification and emergence of the cellular phenotype. This process requires coordinated action of transcription factors with co-activators and co-repressors to bring about proper activation and inhibition of gene expression. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are an important group of transcriptional co-repressors best known for reducing gene expression via removal of acetyl modifications from histones at HDAC target genes. This review will cover the progress that has been made recently to understand the role of HDACs and their targets in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity and, thus, serve as potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Antiepileptic drugs (AED) have been associated to in vivo deleterious consequences in bone tissue. The present work aimed to characterize the cellular and molecular effects of five different AED on human osteoclastogenesis and osteblastogenesis. It was observed that the different drugs had the ability to differentially modulate both processes, in a way dependent on the identity and dose of the AED. Shortly, valproic acid stimulated either osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis, whereas carbamazepine, gabapentin, and lamotrigine revealed an opposite behavior; topiramate elicited a decrease of osteoclast development and an increase in osteoblast differentiation. This is the first report describing the direct effects of different AED on human primary bone cells, which is a very important issue, because these drugs are usually consumed in long-term therapeutics, with acknowledged in vivo effects in bone tissue.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) to have a detrimental effect on bone remodeling, which is associated with osteoporosis. During transsulfuration, Hcy is metabolized into hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter molecule known to regulate bone formation. Therefore, in the present study, we examined whether H2S ameliorates HHcy induced epigenetic and molecular alterations leading to osteoporotic bone loss. To test this mechanism, we employed cystathionine-beta-synthase heterozygote knockout mice, fed with a methionine rich diet (CBS+/− +Met), supplemented with H2S-donor NaHS for 8 weeks. Treatment with NaHS, normalizes plasma H2S, and completely prevents trabecular bone loss in CBS+/− mice. Our data showed that HHcy caused inhibition of HDAC3 activity and subsequent inflammation by imbalancing redox homeostasis. The mechanistic study revealed that inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) are transcriptionally activated by an acetylated lysine residue in histone (H3K27ac) of chromatin by binding to its promoter and subsequently regulating gene expression. A blockade of HDAC3 inhibition in CBS+/− mice by HDAC activator ITSA-1, led to the remodeling of histone landscapes in the genome and thereby attenuated histone acetylation-dependent inflammatory signaling. We also confirmed that RUNX2 was sulfhydrated by administration of NaHS. Collectively, restoration of H2S may provide a novel treatment for CBS-deficiency induced metabolic osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lamotrigine (LTG) and levetiracetam (LEV) as mono- and polytherapy on biochemical markers of bone turnover and bone mineral density in Egyptian adult patients with epilepsy. METHODS Forty-eight patients were divided into four groups: two received monotherapy of either LTG or LEV, and the other two groups received polytherapy comprising (valproate [VPA] + LTG or VPA + LEV). Thirty matched healthy participants were included in the study. Participants completed a nutritional and physical activity questionnaire. Biochemical markers of bone and mineral metabolism and bone mineral density of the lumbar spine were measured at baseline and at six months. RESULTS In the LEV monotherapy group, the bone formation markers showed a significant decrease in serum alkaline phosphatase and serum osteocalcin levels while the bone resorption marker showed a significant increase in urinary deoxypyridinoline levels. After six months of treatment, bone mineral density showed a significant decrease in all treated groups, while among monotherapy groups, this significant decrease was more prevalent in the LEV monotherapy group compared with the LTG monotherapy group. Furthermore, there was significant negative correlation between urinary deoxypyridinoline levels and bone mineral density in the LEV monotherapy group. CONCLUSION Using new generation antiepileptics, LEV monotherapies and polytherapy showed harmful effects on bone but LTG did not.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the carbamazepine and valproic acid on orthodontic tooth movement in male Wistar rats. METHODS Evaluation of tooth movement after 21 days of drugs infusion was carried out by feeler gauge. Bone densitometry on lateral cephalograms was conducted on days 1 and 21. After dissection of the maxillae, histologic parameters were evaluated. RESULTS Orthodontic tooth movement was accelerated in experimental groups rather than controls. Optical density was significantly increased in these groups. In histologic sections, mesioapical portion of the PDL (Periodontal Ligament) was wider in experimental groups. Also, distoapical portion of the PDL was wider only in valproic acid group. CONCLUSION Valproic acid and carbamazepine can decrease the bone density which may induce the accelerated orthodontic tooth movement in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the vitamin D status of children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: A total of 274 children (111 females and 163 males), aged between 1 and 19 years with CP, who came to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pediatric Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic between October 2013 and March 2017, were included in our study. Demographics, data concerning the details of each child’s comorbidity, the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) scores were recorded. The serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D], calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), and parathormone (PTH) levels were also recorded. RESULTS: The mean age of children with CP was 7.59±6.09 years. The distribution by the CP type was 24.8% spastic unilateral, 59.8% spastic bilateral, 1.4% dyskinetic, 0.7% ataxic, 7.6% mixed, and 5.1% unclassified. The serum 25(OH)D levels of the 235 children with CP were measured. There were 79 children at the 25(OH)D level ≤12 ng/ml, regarded as vitamin D deficiency; 62 children at the 25(OH)D level 12-≤20 ng/ml, considered as vitamin D insufficiency, 43 children at the 25(OH)D level 20-≤30 ng/ml, considered as vitamin D sufficiency, and 15 children at the 25(OH)D level >30 ng/ml. A total of 36 children were already taking vitamin D supplements. There was a significant correlation between the 25(OH)D levels and GMFCS and MACS levels and associated impairments such as the epilepsy history, intellectual delay, teeth problems, and growth retardation (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results revealed that the children with CP who are not ambulatory (GMFCS levels IV–V) and have associated impairments were prone to vitamin D deficiency, and thus should be checked for vitamin D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are vulnerable to developing vitamin D deficiency. There is little information on the prevalence and severity of vitamin D deficiency in these patients. OBJECTIVE To study vitamin D status in children with CP with special reference to their intake of anti-epileptic drugs (AED) and ambulatory status. METHODS The relative effects of AED use and ambulatory status on the vitamin D status of 120 children with CP aged 2-10 years were examined in this observational study. The patients were classified into four groups (30 in each) on the basis of AED use and ambulatory status: ambulatory (CPA), ambulatory receiving AED (CPAD), non-ambulatory (CPNA) and non-ambulatory receiving AED (CPNAD). A control group of 30 age-matched healthy children was also included. Parameters assessed included dietary calcium intake, sun exposure, serum total and ionised calcium (tCa, iCa), inorganic phosphate (iP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathormone (PTH), 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and a wrist radiograph to detect rickets. Vitamin D status was defined on the basis of serum 25(OH)D levels as normal (>50 nmol/L), mild deficiency (25-50 nmol/L), moderate deficiency (12.5-25 nmol/L), severe deficiency (<12.5 nmol/L). RESULTS Median (IQR) serum 25 (OH)D levels in patients with CP were 35.6 (26.75-64) nmol/L compared with 60 (37-69.25) nmol/L in controls (p = 0.04). Sixty per cent of children with CP and 36.7% of controls were vitamin D-deficient [25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L]. Children with CP had a significantly lower dietary calcium intake and sun exposure than controls (p < 0.0001 each). Serum tCa and iCa levels were significantly lower (p = 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) and PTH and ALP levels significantly higher (p = 0.04 and p = 0.001, respectively) in children with CP than in controls. Patients in the CPNAD group were the worst affected, 83.3% of them being vitamin D-deficient with median (IQR) 25(OH)D levels of 33.5 (12.5-45.25) nmol/L. Also, 53.3% of them had raised ALP and 17.2% raised PTH levels. CONCLUSION Children with CP are highly vulnerable to vitamin D deficiency. In these patients, AED use and lack of sun exposure contribute towards poor vitamin D status, the effect being more pronounced when they co-exist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many risk factors have been confirmed for poor bone health among the general population including age, gender and corticosteroid use. There is a paucity of investigation among people with intellectual disability; however, research points to differing risks namely anti-epileptic medication use, Down syndrome and poor behaviour lifestyle. METHODS Data was extracted from the Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing in Ireland. In total, 753 participants took part, and data was gathered on participants' health status, behavioural health, health screenings and activities of daily living. The prevalence of osteoporosis and related risk factors were specifically examined. RESULTS Overall, 8.1% reported a doctor's diagnosis of osteoporosis with over 20% reporting history of fracture. Risk identified included older age (P < 0.0001), female gender (P < 0.0001), difficulty walking (P < 0.0001) with older age and being female the stronger predictors for osteoporosis, odds ratio = 6.53; 95% confidence interval 2.82-15.11 and odds ratio = 4.58; 95% confidence interval 2.29-9.17, respectively. There was no gender difference regarding the level of fractures; however, epilepsy and anti-epileptic medication were strong predictors. Overall, 11.1% attended for bone screening diagnostics. CONCLUSION Despite low levels of reported doctor's diagnosis of osteoporosis risk factor prevalence was high. Considering the insidious nature of osteoporosis and the low levels of diagnostic screening, prevalence could be possibly higher.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Valproic acid (VA) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has antiproliferative effects on several types of cancer, including thyroid cancer. In addition, VA has been reported to upregulate the sodium-iodine symporter in thyroid cancer cells and increases radioiodine uptake in preclinical studies. The aim of this study was to assess the antiproliferative effects of VA and to evaluate if VA can increase the radioiodine uptake in patients with advanced, radioiodine-negative thyroid cancer. DESIGN An open-label Simon two-stage phase II trial. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Valproic acid was administered orally, and doses were adjusted to maintain serum trough levels between 50 and 100 mg/l for 10 weeks, followed by injections of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone and a radioiodine uptake scan. Anatomical imaging studies were performed at week 16 to assess tumour response and radioiodine therapy in patients with increased radioiodine uptake. RESULTS Thirteen patients with a median age of 66 years (50-78 years) were enrolled and evaluated. Seven patients had papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), two had follicular variant PTC, two had follicular thyroid cancer, and two had Hürthle cell carcinoma. None of the 10 patients who completed the 10-week treatment had increased radioiodine uptake at their tumour sites. Three patients were taken off the study prior to the 10-week radioiodine uptake scan: one with grade-3 hepatic toxicity, one with disease progression and one for noncompliance. Four of 13 patients had decreased stimulated serum thyroglobulin with VA treatment. None of the patients had complete or partial responses based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), and six patients had disease progression. CONCLUSIONS Valproic acid does not increase radioiodine uptake and does not have anticancer activity in patients with advanced, radioiodine-negative thyroid cancer of follicular cell origin.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (Hdac3) inhibitors are emerging therapies for many diseases including cancers and neurological disorders; however, these drugs are teratogens to the developing skeleton. Hdac3 is essential for proper endochondral ossification as its deletion in chondrocytes increases cytokine signaling and the expression of matrix remodeling enzymes. Here we explored the mechanism by which Hdac3 controls matrix metalloproteinase (Mmp)-13 expression in chondrocytes. In Hdac3-depleted chondrocytes, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk)1/2 as well as its downstream substrate, Runx2, were hyperphosphorylated as a result of decreased expression and activity of the Erk1/2 specific phosphatase, Dusp6. Erk1/2 kinase inhibitors and Dusp6 adenoviruses reduced Mmp13 expression and partially rescued matrix production in Hdac3-deficient chondrocytes. Postnatal chondrocyte-specific deletion of Hdac3 with an inducible Col2a1-Cre caused premature production of pErk1/2 and Mmp13 in the growth plate. Thus, Hdac3 controls the temporal and spatial expression of tissue-remodeling genes in chondrocytes to ensure proper endochondral ossification during development.

Abstract
Bone disorders in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with heightened risks of fractures, vascular calcification, poor quality of life and mortality compared to the general population. However, diagnosis and management of these disorders in CKD are complex and appreciably limited by current diagnostic modalities. Areas covered: Bone histomorphometry remains the gold standard for diagnosis but is not widely utilised and lacks feasibility as a monitoring tool. In practice, non-invasive imaging and biochemical markers are preferred to guide therapeutic decisions. Expert commentary: This review aims to summarize the risk factors for, and spectrum of bone disease in CKD, as well as appraise the clinical utility of dual energy X-ray densitometry, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, and bone turnover markers.

Abstract
Antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy is associated with decreased bone mineral density; however, the time course for this development is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral changes during the initial years of AED therapy in AED-naive, newly diagnosed epilepsy patients compared with non-AED users. In 49 epilepsy patients newly started on AEDs and in 53 non-AED users of both genders, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline (within the first year of therapy) and at least 1 yr later. Bone changes between the 2 assessments, adjusted for age, height, and weight, were calculated as the annual rate of change. The median duration of AED therapy was 3.5 mo at baseline and 27.6 mo at follow-up. No overall difference was found in mean BMD and bone mineral content measures between user and nonuser cohorts in both cross-sectional baseline and the annual rate of change (p > 0.05). However, users on carbamazepine monotherapy (n = 11) had an increased annual rate of total hip (-2.1% vs -0.8%, p = 0.020) and femoral neck BMD loss (-2.1% vs -0.6%, p = 0.032) compared to nonusers. They also had a marginally higher rate of femoral neck BMD loss (-2.1%, p = 0.049) compared with valproate (-0.1%, n = 13) and levetiracetam users (+0.6%, n = 13). During the initial years of AED treatment for epilepsy, no difference was found in bone measures between AED users as a group and nonuser cohorts. However, the data suggested that carbamazepine monotherapy was associated with increased bone loss at the hip regions, compared to users of levetiracetam or valproate and nonusers. Larger studies of longer duration are warranted to better delineate the bone effects of specific AEDs, with further consideration of the role of early dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning and careful AED selection in potentially minimizing the impact on bone health in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diminished bone mineral density and delayed skeletal maturation are common in children with spastic quadriplegia. AIM The purpose of our study was to evaluate the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of children with moderate to severe spastic quadriplegia and its relationship with other variables like nutrition and growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a hospital based, cross- sectional, case-control study. Forty-two (28 males, 14 females) children with spastic quadriplegia and 42 (24 males, 18 females) healthy children were included in the study. BMD of cases and control were measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). Radiographs of left hand and wrist of cases and controls were taken and bone age was determined. RESULTS BMD values of upper extremity, lower extremity, thoraco-lumbar spine and pelvis in cases were lower than those of controls (p <0.0001). In children with non severe malnutrition, 75% of the cases had lower bone age than chronological age, whereas all cases with severe malnutrition had lower bone age than chronological age. Step wise regression analysis showed that nutritional status independently contributed to lower BMD values but the BMD values did not correlate significantly with the use of anticonvulsant drugs and presence of physical therapy. CONCLUSION Decreased BMD and delayed bone age is prevalent in children with spastic quadriplegia and nutritional status is an important contributing factor.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are efficacious epigenetic-based therapies for some cancers and neurological disorders; however, each of these drugs inhibits multiple HDACs and has detrimental effects on the skeleton. To better understand how HDAC inhibitors affect endochondral bone formation, we conditionally deleted one of their targets, Hdac3, pre- and postnatally in type II collagen α1 (Col2α1)-expressing chondrocytes. Embryonic deletion was lethal, but postnatal deletion of Hdac3 delayed secondary ossification center formation, altered maturation of growth plate chondrocytes, and increased osteoclast activity in the primary spongiosa. HDAC3-deficient chondrocytes exhibited increased expression of cytokine and matrix-degrading genes (Il-6, Mmp3, Mmp13, and Saa3) and a reduced abundance of genes related to extracellular matrix production, bone development, and ossification (Acan, Col2a1, Ihh, and Col10a1). Histone acetylation increased at and near genes that had increased expression. The acetylation and activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) were also increased in HDAC3-deficient chondrocytes. Increased cytokine signaling promoted autocrine activation of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and NF-κB pathways to suppress chondrocyte maturation, as well as paracrine activation of osteoclasts and bone resorption. Blockade of interleukin-6 (IL-6)-JAK-STAT signaling, NF-κB signaling, and bromodomain extraterminal proteins, which recognize acetylated lysines and promote transcriptional elongation, significantly reduced Il-6 and Mmp13 expression in HDAC3-deficient chondrocytes and secondary activation in osteoclasts. The JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib also reduced osteoclast activity in Hdac3 conditional knockout mice. Thus, HDAC3 controls the temporal and spatial expression of tissue-remodeling genes and inflammatory responses in chondrocytes to ensure proper endochondral ossification during development.

Abstract
The involvement of the epigenome in complex diseases is becoming increasingly clear and more feasible to study due to new genomic and computational technologies. Moreover, therapies altering the activities of proteins that modify and interpret the epigenome are available to treat cancers and neurological disorders. Many additional uses have been proposed for these drugs based on promising preclinical results, including in arthritis models. Understanding the effects of epigenomic drugs on the skeleton is of interest because of its importance in maintaining overall health and fitness. In this review, we summarize ongoing advancements in how one class of epigenetic modifiers, histone deacetylases (Hdacs), controls normal cartilage development and homeostasis, as well as recent work aimed at understanding the alterations in the expression and activities of these enzymes in osteoarthritis (OA). We also review recent studies utilizing Hdac inhibitors and discuss the potential therapeutic benefits and limitations of these drugs for preventing cartilage destruction in OA.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder worldwide and anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are always the first choice for treatment. However, more than 50% of patients with epilepsy who take AEDs have reported bone abnormalities. Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes are induced by AEDs, especially the classical AEDs, such as benzodiazepines (BZDs), carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PT), phenobarbital (PB), and valproic acid (VPA). The induction of CYP450 isoenzymes may cause vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, increased fracture risks, and altered bone turnover, leading to impaired bone mineral density (BMD). Newer AEDs, such as levetiracetam (LEV), oxcarbazepine (OXC), lamotrigine (LTG), topiramate (TPM), gabapentin (GP), and vigabatrin (VB) have broader spectra, and are safer and better tolerated than the classical AEDs. The effects of AEDs on bone health are controversial. This review focuses on the impact of AEDs on growth and bone metabolism and emphasizes the need for caution and timely withdrawal of these medications to avoid serious disabilities.
