Abstract
Age-related osteoporosis manifests as a complex pathology that disrupts bone homeostasis and elevates fracture risk, yet the mechanisms facilitating age-related shifts in bone marrow macrophages/osteoclasts (BMMs/OCs) lineage are not fully understood. To decipher these mechanisms, we conducted an investigation into the determinants controlling BMMs/OCs differentiation. We performed single-cell multi-omics profiling on bone marrow samples from mice of different ages (1, 6, and 20 months) to gain a holistic understanding of cellular changes across time. Our analysis revealed that aging significantly instigates OC differentiation. Importantly, we identified Cebpd as a vital gene for osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption during the aging process. Counterbalancing the effects of Cebpd, we found Irf8, Sox4, and Klf4 to play crucial roles. By thoroughly examining the cellular dynamics underpinning bone aging, our study unveils novel insights into the mechanisms of age-related osteoporosis and presents potential therapeutic targets for future exploration.

Age-related increase of CD38 directs osteoclastogenic potential of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells through mitochondrial dysfunction in male mice. Aging Cell 2024:e14298.

Abstract
An aged immune system undergoes substantial changes where myelopoiesis dominates within the bone marrow. Monocytic-MDSCs (M-MDSCs) have been found to play an important role in osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. In this study, we sought to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the osteoclastogenic potential of bone marrow M-MDSCs during normal aging through transcriptomic and metabolic changes. Using young mature and aged mice, detailed immunophenotypic analyses of myeloid cells revealed that the M-MDSCs were not increased in bone marrow, however M-MDSCS were significantly expanded in peripheral tissues. Although aged mice exhibited a similar number of M-MDSCs in bone marrow, these M-MDSCs had significantly higher osteoclastogenic potential and greater demineralization activity. Intriguingly, osteoclast progenitors from aged bone marrow M-MDSCs exhibited greater mitochondrial respiration rate and glucose metabolism. Further, transcriptomic analyses revealed the upregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glucose metabolism genes. Interestingly, there was 8-fold increase in Cd38 mRNA gene expression, consistent with the Mouse Aging Cell Atlas transcriptomic database, and confirmed by qRT-PCR. CD38 regulates NAD+ availability, and 78c, a small molecule inhibitor of CD38, reduced the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and glucose metabolism and inhibited the osteoclastogenic potential of aged mice bone marrow-derived M-MDSCs. These results indicate that the age-related increase in Cd38 expression in M-MDSCs bias the transcriptome of M-MDSCs towards osteoclastogenesis. This enhanced understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings of M-MDSCs and their osteoclastogenesis during aging could lead to new therapeutic approaches for age-related bone loss and promote healthy aging.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative joint disease, is highly prevalent among the aging population, and often leads to joint pain, disability, and a diminished quality of life. Although considerable research has been conducted, the precise molecular mechanisms propelling OA pathogenesis continue to be elusive, thereby impeding the development of effective therapeutics. Notably, recent studies have revealed subchondral bone lesions precede cartilage degeneration in the early stage of OA. This development is marked by escalated osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, subsequent imbalances in bone metabolism, accelerated bone turnover, and a decrease in bone volume, thereby contributing significantly to the pathological changes. While the role of aging hallmarks in OA has been extensively elucidated from the perspective of chondrocytes, their connection with osteoclasts is not yet fully understood. There is compelling evidence to suggest that age-related abnormalities such as epigenetic alterations, proteostasis network disruption, cellular senescence, and mitochondrial dysfunction, can stimulate osteoclast activity. This review intends to systematically discuss how aging hallmarks contribute to OA pathogenesis, placing particular emphasis on the age-induced shifts in osteoclast activity. It also aims to stimulate future studies probing into the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic approaches targeting osteoclasts in OA during aging.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess PEMF in a rat model of senile osteoporosis and its relationship with NLRP3-mediated low-grade inflammation in the bone marrow microenvironment. A total of 24 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were included in this study. Sixteen of them were 24-month natural-aged male SD rats, which were randomly distributed into the Aged group and the PEMF group (n = 8 per group). The remaining 8 3-month -old rats were used as the Young positive control group (n = 8). Rats in the PEMF group received 12 weeks of PEMF with 40 min/day, five days per week, while the other rats received placebo PEMF intervention. Bone mineral density/microarchitecture, serum levels of CTX-1 and P1CP, and NLRP3-related signaling genes and proteins in rat bone marrow were then analyzed. The 12-week of PEMF showed significant mitigation of aging-induced bone loss and bone microarchitecture deterioration, i.e. PEMF increased the bone mineral density of the proximal femur and L5 vertebral body and improved parameters of the proximal tibia and L4 vertebral body. Further analysis showed that PEMF reversed aging-induced bone turnover, specifically, decreased serum CTX-1 and elevated serum P1CP. Furthermore, PEMF also dramatically inhibited NLRP3-mediated low-grade inflammation in the bone marrow, i.e. PEMF inhibited the levels of NLRP3, proCaspase1, cleaved Caspase1, IL-1β, and GSDMD-N. The study demonstrated that PEMF could mitigate the aging-induced bone loss and reverses the deterioration of bone microarchitecture probably through inhibiting NLRP3-mediated low-grade chronic inflammation to improve the inflammatory bone microenvironment in aged rats.

Age-related decline in melatonin contributes to enhanced osteoclastogenesis via disruption of redox homeostasis. Mol Med 2024; 30:10.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased oxidative stress contributes to enhanced osteoclastogenesis and age-related bone loss. Melatonin (MT) is an endogenous antioxidant and declines with aging. However, it was unclear whether the decline of MT was involved in the enhanced osteoclastogenesis during the aging process. METHODS The plasma level of MT, oxidative stress status, bone mass, the number of bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMMs) and its osteoclastogenesis were analyzed in young (3-month old) and old (18-month old) mice (n = 6 per group). In vitro, BMMs isolated from aged mice were treated with or without MT, followed by detecting the change of osteoclastogenesis and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Furthermore, old mice were treated with MT for 2 months to investigate the therapeutic effect. RESULTS The plasma level of MT was markedly lower in aged mice compared with young mice. Age-related decline in MT was accompanied by enhanced oxidative stress, osteoclastogenic potential and bone loss. MT intervention significantly suppressed the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis, decreased intracellular ROS and enhanced antioxidant capacity of BMMs from aged mice. MT supplementation significantly attenuated oxidative stress, osteoclastogenesis, bone loss and deterioration of bone microstructure in aged mice. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that age-related decline of MT enhanced osteoclastogenesis via disruption of redox homeostasis. MT may serve as a key regulator in osteoclastogenesis and bone homeostasis, thereby highlighting its potential as a preventive agent for age-related bone loss.

Abstract
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are commonly used in osteoporosis treatment as indicators of cell activities of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. The wide variability in their values due to multiple factors, such as aging and diseases, makes it difficult for physicians to utilize them for clinical decision-making. The progenitors of osteoclasts and osteoblasts are indispensable for a comprehensive interpretation of the variability in BTM values because these upstream progenitors strongly regulate the downstream cell activities of bone turnover. However, understanding the complex interactions among the multiple populations of bone cells is challenging. In this study, we aimed to gain a fundamental understanding of the mechanism by which the progenitor dynamics affect the variability in bone turnover through in silico experiments by exploring the cell dynamics with aging effects on osteoporosis. Negative feedback control driven by the consumptive loss of progenitors prevents rapid bone loss due to excessive bone turnover, and through feedback regulation, aging effects on osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast progenitor proliferation cause variability in the osteoclast and osteoblast activity balance and its temporal transition. By expressing the variability in the bone turnover status, our model describes the individualities of patients based on their clinical backgrounds. Therefore, our model could play a powerful role in assisting tailored treatment and has the potential to resolve the various health problems associated with osteoporosis worldwide.

Abstract
Aging is associated with detrimental bone loss leading to fragility fractures in both men and women. Notably, a majority of bone loss with aging is cortical, as well as a large number of fractures are non-vertebral and at the non-hip sites. Nacre is a product of mollusks composed of calcium carbonate embedded in organic components. As our previous study demonstrated the protective effect of nacre supplementation on trabecular bone loss in ovariectomized rats, we sought to evaluate the effect of dietary nacre on bone loss related to aging in female mice which do not suffer true menopause as observed in women. The current study compared the effect of a 90-day long nacre-supplemented diet to that of Standard or CaCO3 diets on both bone mass and strength in 16-month-old C57BL/6 female mice. Multiple approaches were performed to assess the microarchitecture and mechanical properties of long bones, analyze trabecular histomorphometry, and measure bone cell-related gene expressions, and bone turnover markers. In the cortex, dietary nacre improved cortical bone strength in line with lower expression levels of genes reflecting osteoclasts activity compared to Standard or CaCO3 diets (p < 0.05). In the trabeculae, nacre-fed mice were characterized by a bone remodeling process more active than the other groups as shown by greater histomorphometric parameters and osteoblast-related gene expressions (p < 0.05). But these differences were not exhibited at the level of the trabecular microarchitecture at this age. Collectively, these data suggest that dietary nacre should be a potential candidate for reducing aging-associated cortical bone loss in the elderly.

The age-related characteristics in bone microarchitecture, osteoclast distribution pattern, functional and transcriptomic alterations of BMSCs in mice. Mech Ageing Dev 2023; 216:111877. [PMID: 37820882 DOI: 10.1016/j.mad.2023.111877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Deteriorated age-related bone loss is the hallmarks of skeletal aging. However, how the aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and osteoclasts are linked to the bone microstructure degeneration is not yet very clear. In this study, the characteristics of age-related bone loss, distribution patterns of osteoclasts, functional and transcriptomic alterations of BMSCs, hub genes responsible for BMSCs senescence, were analyzed. Our study revealed an age-related declined trends in trabecular and cortical bones of femur, tibia and lumbar vertebra in mice, which was accompanied by a shift from the trabecular to cortical bones in osteoclasts. Additionally, middle-aged or aged mice exhibited remarkably reduced dynamic bone formation capacities, along with reversed osteogenic-adipogenic differentiation potentials in BMSCs. Finally, transcriptomic analysis indicated that aging-related signaling pathways were significantly activated in BMSCs from aged mice (e.g., cellular senescence, p53 signaling pathway, etc.). Also, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and venn diagram analysis based on our RNA-Seq data and GSE35956 dataset revealed the critical role of PTPN1 in BMSCs senescence. Targeted inhibition of PTP1B with AAV-Ptpn1-RNAi dramatically postponed age-related bone loss in middle-aged mice. Collectively, our study has uncovered the age-dependent cellular characteristics in BMSCs and osteoclasts underlying progressive bone loss with advancing age.

Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:604. [PMID: 37704623 PMCID: PMC10500014 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-05928-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs), derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage, are key orchestrators in bone remodeling. Targeting osteoclast apoptosis is a promising approach to cut down excessive osteoclast numbers, and thus slow down the rate of bone mass loss that inevitably occurs during aging. However, the therapeutic target of apoptosis in osteoclasts has not been fully studied. Our previous work generated Mvpf/fLyz2-Cre mice, conditionally depleting major vault protein (MVP) in monocyte lineage, and identified MVP as a bone protector for its negative role in osteoclastogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Here, we observed a notable decline of MVP in osteoclasts with aging in mice, encouraging us to further investigate the regulatory role of osteoclast MVP. Then, Mvpf/fLyz2-Cre mice were exploited in two osteoporosis contexts, aging and abrupt loss of estrogen, and we revealed that conditional knockout of MVP inhibited osteoclast apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we reported the interaction between MVP and death receptor Fas, and MVP-Fas signaling cascade was identified to positively regulate the apoptosis of osteoclasts, thus preventing osteoporosis. Collectively, our comprehensive discovery of MVP's regulatory role in osteoclasts provides new insight into osteoclast biology and therapeutic targets for osteoporosis.

Abstract
The bone marrow microenvironment contains a diverse array of cell types under extensive regulatory control and provides for a novel and complex mechanism for bone regulation. Megakaryocytes (MKs) are one such cell type that potentially acts as a master regulator of the bone marrow microenvironment due to its effects on hematopoiesis, osteoblastogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. While several of these processes are induced/inhibited through MK secreted factors, others are primarily regulated by direct cell-cell contact. Notably, the regulatory effects that MKs exert on these different cell populations has been found to change with aging and disease states. Overall, MKs are a critical component of the bone marrow that should be considered when examining regulation of the skeletal microenvironment. An increased understanding of the role of MKs in these physiological processes may provide insight into novel therapies that can be used to target specific pathways important in hematopoietic and skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related changes, (ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a pathological status. Although a broad spectrum of aging biomarkers has been developed, their potential uses and limitations remain poorly characterized. An immediate goal of biomarkers is to help us answer the following three fundamental questions in aging research: How old are we? Why do we get old? And how can we age slower? This review aims to address this need. Here, we summarize our current knowledge of biomarkers developed for cellular, organ, and organismal levels of aging, comprising six pillars: physiological characteristics, medical imaging, histological features, cellular alterations, molecular changes, and secretory factors. To fulfill all these requisites, we propose that aging biomarkers should qualify for being specific, systemic, and clinically relevant.

Abstract
WHIM Syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency caused by gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations. Here we report a decrease in bone mineral density in 25% of WHIM patients and bone defects leading to osteoporosis in a WHIM mouse model. Imbalanced bone tissue is observed in mutant mice combining reduced osteoprogenitor cells and increased osteoclast numbers. Mechanistically, impaired CXCR4 desensitization disrupts cell cycle progression and osteogenic commitment of skeletal stromal/stem cells, while increasing their pro-osteoclastogenic capacities. Impaired osteogenic differentiation is evidenced in primary bone marrow stromal cells from WHIM patients. In mice, chronic treatment with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 normalizes in vitro osteogenic fate of mutant skeletal stromal/stem cells and reverses in vivo the loss of skeletal cells, demonstrating that proper CXCR4 desensitization is required for the osteogenic specification of skeletal stromal/stem cells. Our study provides mechanistic insights into how CXCR4 signaling regulates the osteogenic fate of skeletal cells and the balance between bone formation and resorption.

Abstract
Purpose The molecular mechanisms of age-related bone loss are unclear and without valid drugs yet. The aims of this study were to explore the molecular changes that occur in bone tissue during age-related bone loss, to further clarify the changes in function, and to predict potential therapeutic drugs. Methods We collected bone tissues from children, middle-aged individuals, and elderly people for protein sequencing and compared the three groups of proteins pairwise, and the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in each group were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). K-means cluster analysis was then used to screen out proteins that continuously increased/decreased with age. Canonical signaling pathways that were activated or inhibited in bone tissue along with increasing age were identified by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Prediction of potential drugs was performed using the Connectivity Map (CMap). Finally, DEPs from sequencing were verified by Western blot, and the drug treatment effect was verified by quantitative real-time PCR. Results The GO and KEGG analyses show that the DEPs were associated with inflammation and bone formation with aging, and the IPA analysis shows that pathways such as IL-8 signaling and acute-phase response signaling were activated, while glycolysis I and EIF2 signaling were inhibited. A total of nine potential drugs were predicted, with rapamycin ranking the highest. In cellular experiments, rapamycin reduced the senescence phenotype produced by the H2O2-stimulated osteocyte-like cell MLO-Y4. Conclusion With age, inflammatory pathways are activated in bone tissue, and signals that promote bone formation are inhibited. This study contributes to the understanding of the molecular changes that occur in bone tissue during age-related bone loss and provides evidence that rapamycin is a drug of potential clinical value for this disease. The therapeutic effects of the drug are to be further studied in animals.

Abstract
During aging, the proliferation and differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) gets affected, and hence, aged MSCs are not preferred for regenerative purposes. Rapid identification of aging-associated changes within MSCs and the mechanistic pathways involved are necessary to determine optimal cell sources to treat musculoskeletal disorders in older patients. In the present study, we have identified a set of phenotypic markers, namely downregulated expression of CD90 and upregulated expression of CD45, as age-defining markers for the bone marrow-derived MSCs. We also show that these phenotypic changes in aged MSCs correlate with their aging-mediated differentiation defects. We find that oxidative stress signaling leading to the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) plays an essential role in altering the phenotype and differentiation ability of the aged MSCs. We further show that treatment of aged MSCs with the conditioned medium (CM) derived from young MSCs (young-CM) restored their phenotype and differentiation potential to the young-like by ameliorating activation of NF-κB signaling in them. Similar changes could also be achieved by using an inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, showing that oxidative stress-induced NF-κB activation is the causative factor in the aging of MSCs. Additionally, we show that treating young MSCs with hydrogen peroxide mimics all the aging-mediated changes in them, underscoring the involvement of oxidative stress in the aging of MSCs. Overall, our data suggest that the altered expression of CD90 and CD45 surface markers can be used as a primary screen to identify the onset of aging in the MSCs, which can be quickly reversed by their in vitro treatment with young-CM or NF-κB inhibitor. Our study also puts the phenotypic characterization of MSCs in a clinical perspective.

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

The Effect of Osteoblast Isolation Methods from Adult Rats on Osteoclastogenesis in Co-Cultures. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147875. [PMID: 35887222 PMCID: PMC9318333 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Co-cultures of osteoblasts and osteoclasts are on the rise because they enable a more complex study. Diseases such as osteoporosis are related to a higher age. Thus, cell isolation from adult individuals is necessary. Osteoblasts can be isolated from the rat femur by three methods: explant culture, explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment, or enzymatic treatment. The isolation methods yield different populations of osteoblasts which, in a co-culture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells, might result in differences in osteoclastogenesis. Therefore, we examined the differences in osteogenic markers, cell proliferation, and the metabolic activity of isolated osteoblast-like cells in a growth and differentiation medium. We then evaluated the effect of the isolated populations of osteoblast-like cells on osteoclastogenesis in a subsequent co-culture by evaluating osteoclast markers, counting formed osteoclast-like cells, and analyzing their area and number of nuclei. Co-cultures were performed in the presence or absence of osteoclastogenic growth factors, M-CSF and RANKL. It was discovered that enzymatic isolation is not feasible in adult rats, but explant culture and explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment were both successful. Explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment yielded cells with a higher proliferation than explant culture in a growth medium. The differentiation medium reduced differences in proliferation during the culture. Some differences in metabolic activity and ALP activity were also found between the osteoblast-like cells isolated by explant culture or by explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment, but only on some days of cultivation. According to microscopy, the presence of exogenous growth factors supporting osteoclastogenesis in co-cultures was necessary for the formation of osteoclast-like cells. In this case, the formation of a higher number of osteoclast-like cells with a larger area was observed in the co-culture with osteoblast-like cells isolated by explant culture compared to the explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment. Apart from this observation, no differences in osteoclast markers were noted between the co-cultures with osteoblast-like cells isolated by explant culture and the explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment. The TRAP and CA II activity was higher in the co-cultures with exogenous growth than that in the co-cultures without exogenous growth factors on day 7, but the opposite was true on day 14. To conclude, explant culture and explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment are both suitable methods to yield osteoblast-like cells from adult rats capable of promoting osteoclastogenesis in a direct co-culture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment yielded cells with a higher proliferation. The explant culture yielded osteoblast-like cells which induced the formation of a higher number of osteoclast-like cells with a larger area compared to the explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment when cultured with exogenous M-CSF and RANKL.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are critical regulators of postnatal bone homeostasis. Osteoporosis is characterized by bone volume and strength deterioration, partly due to MSC dysfunction. Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) belongs to the transcription-related CDK family. Here, CDK8 in MSCs was identified as important for bone homeostasis. CDK8 level was increased in aged MSCs along with the association with aging-related signals. Mouse genetic studies revealed that CDK8 in MSCs plays a crucial role in bone resorption and homeostasis. Mechanistically, CDK8 in MSCs extrinsically controls osteoclastogenesis through the signal transducer and transcription 1 (STAT1)-receptor activator of the nuclear factor κ Β ligand (RANKL) axis. Moreover, aged MSCs have high osteoclastogenesis-supporting activity, partly through a CDK8-dependent manner. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of CDK8 effectively repressed MSC-dependent osteoclastogenesis and prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoclastic activation and bone loss. These findings highlight that the CDK8-STAT1-RANKL axis in MSCs could play a crucial role in bone resorption and homeostasis. Aging increases CDK8 expression level in MSCs and their progeny CDK8 in MSCs plays a crucial role in bone resorption and homeostasis CDK8 in MSCs extrinsically controls osteoclastogenesis through STAT1/RANKL axis CDK8 inhibitor prevents ovariectomy-induced osteoclastic activation and bone loss

Abstract
Metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, typically reflect an increase in the number and activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts that result in a loss of bone mass. Inflammatory mediators have been identified as drivers of both osteoclast formation and activity. The IL-17 family of inflammatory cytokines has gained attention as important contributors to both bone formation and resorption. The majority of IL-17 cytokines signal through receptor complexes containing IL-17a receptor (IL-17ra); however, the role of IL-17ra signaling in osteoclasts remains elusive. In this study, we conditionally deleted Il17ra in osteoclast precursors using LysM-Cre and evaluated the phenotypes of skeletally mature male and female conditional knockout and control mice. The conditional knockout mice displayed an increase in trabecular bone microarchitecture in both the appendicular and axial skeleton. Assessment of osteoclast formation in vitro revealed that deletion of Il17ra decreased osteoclast number, which was confirmed in vivo using histomorphometry. This phenotype was likely driven by a lower abundance of osteoclast precursors in IL-17ra conditional knockout mice. This study suggests that IL-17ra signaling in preosteoclasts can contribute to osteoclast formation and subsequent bone loss.

Abstract
Introduction: With age, the number of adipocytes and osteoclasts increases, the number of osteoblasts decreases, and mechano-adaptation is impaired.Objectives: Using marrow aspiration, which has a known osteogenic effect in young mice, we sought to recruit osteoblast progenitors to mediate the mechano-adaptive response to in vivo tibial loading.Methods: First, we assessed bone formation and marrow adiposity in the tibiae of old mice (>20 months) sacrificed 1, 2, and 4 weeks after unilateral marrow aspiration. Then, we examined the effects of marrow aspiration on mechano-adaptation in aged mice using tibial loading.Results: Two weeks after aspiration, aspirated tibiae had more bone than contralateral tibiae due to the formation of bone in the medullary canal. Two weeks and four weeks after marrow aspiration, the volume of marrow adipose tissue was higher in the aspirated tibiae, compared to contralateral tibiae. Histomorphometry indicated that aspiration increased non-periosteal (endosteal, intracortical, intramedullary) bone formation, compared to the contralateral tibia. Mice with marrow aspiration had reduced periosteal bone formation in the contralateral tibia, compared to mice that had loading alone. Loading-induced periosteal bone formation was higher in mice that had loading alone, compared to mice that had aspiration + loading, indicating that aspiration further reduced the mechano-adaptive response.Conclusion: These data demonstrate that, in old mice, bone forms in the medullary canal following aspiration. Adiposity is increased following marrow aspiration, and periosteal mechano-adaptation is reduced.

Abstract
Aging induces alterations in bone structure and strength through a multitude of processes, exacerbating common aging- related diseases like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Cellular hallmarks of aging are examined, as related to bone and the marrow microenvironment, and ways in which these might contribute to a variety of age-related perturbations in osteoblasts, osteocytes, marrow adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoclasts, and their respective progenitors. Cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic and intracellular communication changes are central pathways and recognized as associated and potentially causal in aging. We focus on these in musculoskeletal system and highlight knowledge gaps in the literature regarding cellular and tissue crosstalk in bone, cartilage, and the bone marrow niche. While senolytics have been utilized to target aging pathways, here we propose non-pharmacologic, exercise-based interventions as prospective "senolytics" against aging effects on the skeleton. Increased bone mass and delayed onset or progression of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are some of the recognized benefits of regular exercise across the lifespan. Further investigation is needed to delineate how cellular indicators of aging manifest in bone and the marrow niche and how altered cellular and tissue crosstalk impact disease progression, as well as consideration of exercise as a therapeutic modality, as a means to enhance discovery of bone-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Traditionally, hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis has been considered to be the result of increased thyroid hormone levels. The pathogenesis of hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis remains unclear. Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is closely associated with osteoporosis. Our study aimed to explore the role of TSHR and its upstream microRNA (miRNA) in hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis. Bioinformatics analysis (starBase and Targetscan) and a wide range of experiments including reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, luciferase reporter, western blot analysis of osteogenic differentiation markers including OSX, OCN, ALP, OPN, and COL1, hematoxylin and eosin staining, Alizarin Red staining assays were used to explore the function and mechanism of TSHR in hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis. First, we observed that TSHR was downregulated in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) isolated from rats after culture in osteogenic medium for 7 days. Functionally, overexpression of TSHR accelerates BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, we predicted four potential miRNAs for TSHR. MiR-577 was validated to bind with TSHR. Rescue assays showed that miR-577 overexpression inhibited BMSC osteogenic differentiation via targeting TSHR. In vivo experiments showed that miR-577 aggravated bone loss and bone remodeling and our data showed that it is achieved by targeting TSHR in hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis. This finding may deep our understanding of the pathogenesis of hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis causes bone fragility, increasing the risk of fractures. Evidence suggests a strong correlation between obesity and fracture risk. Physical training is known to enhance bone resistance and protect from fracture; however, its osteogenic effect in the presence of obesity remains unknown. Objective We sought to evaluate the influence of exercise training on bone health indices in individuals with obesity. Methods This systematic literature search was conducted using common electronic databases from inception - December 2019. The following key terms (and synonyms searched for by the MeSH database) were included and combined using the operators “AND,” “OR,” “NOT”: [(“body mass index” OR obesity OR obese OR overweight OR fat mass) AND (“bone mineral density” OR “bone mineral content” OR “peak bone mass” OR “mechanical loading” OR “Osteoporosis” OR “bone geometry” OR “bone resistance”) AND (“exercise training” OR “physical training” OR “strength training,” OR “resistance training” OR “aerobic training” OR “combined training”)]. Results After screening, 10 studies (889 initial records) were included in the final analysis (8 different countries, 263 participants). Two studies investigated males, six females, and two, both sexes. The training duration was at least eight weeks with 2–3 sessions/week. Physical training displayed a significant trivial impact on the whole body (WB) BMD (0.13 SMD; 95% CI [0.00, 0.26], p = 0.046). Subgroup analyses indicated a significant small increase in the WB BMD (0.27 SMD; 95% CI [0.00, 0.53], p = 0.048) in the endurance training group, a non-significant trivial increase in the WB BMD (0.11 SMD; 95% CI [−0.06, 0.29], p = 0.203) in the resistance group, and a non-significant trivial increase in the WB BMD (0.03 SMD; 95% CI [−0.26, 0.32], p = 0.86) in the combined training group. In addition, a significant small decrease was found in the weight of trained subjects (−0.24 SMD; 95% CI [−0.42, −0.05], p = 0.011). Conclusion Physical training has little to no effect on the WB BMD in subjects with overweight/obesity. Currently, insufficient evidence to advocate for any specific type of exercise for enhancing bone health exists for overweight/obese individuals. Investigations examining the impact of varying types of physical exercise on WB BMD of obese individuals are needed.

Abstract
Low-LET photon radiation-induced persistent alterations in bone marrow (BM) cells are well documented in total-body irradiated (TBI) rodents and also among radiotherapy patients. However, the late effects of protons and high-LET heavy-ion radiation on BM cells and its implications in osteoclastogenesis are not fully understood. Therefore, C57BL6/J female mice (8 weeks; n = 10/group) were irradiated to sham, and 1 Gy of the proton (0.22 keV/μm), or high-LET 56Fe-ions (148 keV/μm) and at 60 d post-exposure, mice were sacrificed and femur sections were obtained for histological, cellular and molecular analysis. Cell proliferation (PCNA), cell death (active caspase-3), senescence (p16), osteoclast (RANK), osteoblast (OPG), osteoblast progenitor (c-Kit), and osteoclastogenesis-associated secretory factors (like RANKL) were assessed using immunostaining. While no change in cell proliferation and apoptosis between control and irradiated groups was noted, the number of BM megakaryocytes was significantly reduced in irradiated mice at 60 d post-exposure. A remarkable increase in p16 positive cells indicated a persistent increase in cell senescence, whereas increased RANKL/OPG ratio, reductions in the number of osteoblast progenitor cells, and osteocalcin provided clear evidence that exposure to both proton and 56Fe-ions promotes pro-osteoclastogenic activity in BM. Among irradiated groups, 56Fe-induced alterations in the BM cellularity and osteoclastogenesis were significantly greater than the protons that demonstrated a radiation quality-dependent effect. This study has implications in understanding the role of IR-induced late changes in the BM cells and its involvement in bone degeneration among deep-space astronauts, and also in patients undergoing proton or heavy-ion radiotherapy.

Abstract
Progressive bone loss during aging makes osteoporosis one of the most common and life impacting conditions in geriatric populations. The bone homeostasis is maintained through persistent remodeling mediated by bone-forming osteoblast and bone-resorbing osteoclast. Inflammaging, a condition characterized by increased pro-inflammatory markers in the blood and other tissues during aging, has been reported to be associated with skeletal stem/progenitor cell dysfunction, which will result in impaired bone formation. However, the role of age-related inflammation and metabolites in regulation of osteoclast remains largely unknown. In the present study, we observed dichotomous phenotypes of anti-inflammatory metabolite itaconate in responding to inflammaging. Itaconate is upregulated in macrophages during aging but has less reactivity in responding to RANKL stimulation in aged macrophages. We confirmed the inhibitory effect of itaconate in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activation, and further verified the rescue role of itaconate in lipopolysaccharides induced inflammatory bone loss animal model. Our findings revealed that itaconate is a crucial regulatory metabolite during inflammaging that inhibits osteoclast to maintain bone homeostasis.

Abstract
Once considered an inert filler of the bone cavity, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is now regarded as a metabolically active organ that plays versatile roles in endocrine function, hematopoiesis, bone homeostasis and metabolism, and, potentially, energy conservation. While the regulation of BMAT is inadequately understood, it is recognized as a unique and dynamic fat depot that is distinct from peripheral fat. As we age, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) accumulate throughout the bone marrow (BM) milieu to influence the microenvironment. This process is conceivably signaled by the secretion of adipocyte-derived factors including pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines. Adipokines participate in the development of a chronic state of low-grade systemic inflammation (inflammaging), which trigger changes in the immune system that are characterized by declining fidelity and efficiency and cause an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory networks. In this review, we discuss the local effects of BMAT on bone homeostasis and the hematopoietic niche, age-related inflammatory changes associated with BMAT accrual, and the downstream effect on endocrine function, energy expenditure, and metabolism. Furthermore, we address therapeutic strategies to prevent BMAT accumulation and associated dysfunction during aging. In sum, BMAT is emerging as a critical player in aging and its explicit characterization still requires further research.

Abstract
With the progress of the aging population, bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis have become urgent problems. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of osteoclasts in bone homeostasis, implying these will be an important mediator in the treatment of bone-related diseases. Up to now, several reviews have been performed on part of osteoclast biological behaviors such as differentiation, function, or apoptosis. However, few reviews have shown the complete osteoclast biology and research advances in recent years. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the origin, differentiation, apoptosis, behavior changes and coupling signals with osteoblasts, providing a simple but comprehensive overview of osteoclasts for subsequent studies.

Age-related accumulation of advanced oxidation protein products promotes osteoclastogenesis through disruption of redox homeostasis. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:1160.

Abstract
Enhanced osteoclastogenesis is one of the major causes of age-related bone loss. Aging is accompanied by accumulation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs). However, whether AOPPs accumulation contributing to the osteoclastogenesis with aging remains unclear. Here, we showed that AOPPs accumulation was associated with the enhanced osteoclastogenesis and deterioration of bone microstructure in aged mice. In vitro, AOPPs directly induced osteoclastogenesis by interaction with receptor activator of nuclear factor κ B (RANK) and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in the primary bone marrow monocytes. Bindings of AOPPs to RANK and RAGE were able to activate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, trigger generation of reactive oxygen species, then induce phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and c-fos, upregulation of the nuclear factor of activated T cell c1, eventually induce bone marrow monocytes to differentiate into mature osteoclasts. Chronic exposure to AOPPs enhanced osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in mice, which could be alleviated by NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin. Local injection of AOPPs into subperiosteal area induced bone resorption at the site of administration, which was similar to the effect of RANK ligand. Together, these results suggested that AOPPs could serve as a novel regulator of osteoclastogenesis and AOPPs accumulation might play an important role in the development of age-related bone loss.

Abstract
Bone repair in elderly mice has been shown to be improved or negatively impacted by supplementing the highly osteogenic bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). To better predict the outcome of FGF-2 supplementation, we investigated whether endogenous levels of FGF-2 play a role in optimal dosing of FGF-2 for augmenting BMP-2 activity in elderly mice. In vivo calvarial bone defect studies in Fgf2 knockout mice with wildtype controls were conducted with the growth factors delivered in a highly localized manner from a biomimetic calcium phosphate/polyelectrolyte multilayer coating applied to a bone graft substitute. Endogenous FGF-2 levels were measured in old mice versus young and found to decrease with age. Optimal dosing for improving bone defect repair correlated with levels of endogenous FGF-2, with a larger dose of FGF-2 required to have a positive effect on bone healing in the Fgf2 knockout mice. The same dose in wildtype old mice, with higher levels of FGF-2, promoted chondrogenesis and increased osteoclast activity. The results suggest a personalized medicine approach, based on a knowledge of endogenous levels of FGF-2, should guide FGF-2 supplementation in order to avoid provoking excessive bone resorption and cartilage formation, both of which inhibited calvarial bone repair.

Abstract
Projected life expectancy continues to grow worldwide owing to the advancement of new treatments and technologies leading to rapid growth of geriatric population. Thus, age-associated diseases especially in the musculoskeletal system are becoming more common. Loss of bone (osteoporosis) and muscle (sarcopenia) mass are conditions whose prevalence is increasing because of the change in population distribution in the world towards an older mean age. The deterioration in the bone and muscle functions can cause severe disability and seriously affects the patients’ quality of life. Currently, there is no treatment to prevent and reverse age-related musculoskeletal frailty. Existing interventions are mainly to slow down and control the signs and symptoms. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is a promising approach to attenuate age-related musculoskeletal frailty. This review compiles the present knowledge of the causes and changes of the musculoskeletal frailty and the potential of MSC transplantation as a regenerative therapy for age-related musculoskeletal frailty.

Abstract
Objective
This study was aimed to determine the levels of salivary receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) and its association with periodontal status among periodontitis patients.
Materials and Methods
A cross-sectional study was designed and performed at the Dental Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Random sampling was employed to identify 88 participants into three groups: 30 mild periodontitis, 30 moderate to severe periodontitis, and 28 healthy (nonperiodontitis) patients. Periodontal parameters: periodontal pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque score (PS), and gingival bleeding index (GBI) were recorded. In total, 4 mL of unstimulated whole saliva was collected to determine the levels of salivary RANKL and OPG proteins by using ELISA technique. Data were analyzed by using SPSS software version 24.0.
Results
Mean values for PPD (5.3 ± 0.5) and CAL (5.6 ± 0.5) were observed higher for moderate to severe periodontitis as compared with values (4.4 ± 0.2) (4.5 ± 0.2) in mild periodontitis patients. The mean salivary RANKL and OPG was 0.23 ± 0.07 ng/mL and 1.78 ± 0.70 ng/mL respectively in moderate to severe periodontitis. Only salivary RANKL levels were significantly and positively correlated with all the clinical periodontal parameters.
Conclusion
The levels of salivary RANKL were higher as opposed to lower OPG levels in periodontitis patients in contrast to healthy (nonperiodontitis) patients. RANKL levels were significantly associated with the periodontal parameters. Therefore, we can conclude that RANKL can potentially aid as an adjunctive diagnostic protein in evaluating periodontal disease.

Abstract
Aging cells not only cease growing, but also secrete various proteins such as inflammatory cytokines. This secretory phenomenon is known as the senescence‑associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects of senescence on the differentiation of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) and corresponding SASP. RAW264.7 cells were used as OCPs and were cultured to passage (P)5, P10 and P20. Cell proliferation assays, senescence‑associated β‑galactosidase staining and telomere length quantification were subsequently performed, and it was revealed that replicative senescence was induced at P20. In addition, the level of tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase activity in P20 cells treated with receptor activator of nuclear factor‑κB ligand was significantly lower than that in P5 and P10 cells. The SASP factors interleukin‑6, tumour necrosis factor‑α and nitric oxide were significantly increased in P20 culture supernatants compared with those in P5 and P10 supernatants. Furthermore, the number of exosomes at P20 was increased compared with that at P5 and P10, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was expressed in exosomes at P20, but not in exosomes at P5. In conclusion, the present study revealed that senescent RAW264.7 cells exhibit increased expression of SASP factors and release iNOS in exosomes.

Abstract
Aging is associated with excessive bone loss that is not counteracted with the development of new bone. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related bone loss are not completely clear. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a population of heterogenous immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive functions that are known to stimulate tumor-induced bone lysis. In this study, we investigated the association of MDSCs and age-related bone loss in mice. Our results shown that aging increased the accumulation of MDSCs in the bone marrow and spleen, while in the meantime potentiated the osteoclastogenic activity of the CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G+ monocytic subpopulation of MDSCs. In addition, CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G+ MDSCs from old mice exhibited increased expression of c-fms compared to young mice, and were more sensitive to RANKL-induced osteoclast gene expression. On the other hand, old mice showed elevated production of IL-6 and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in the circulation. Furthermore, IL-6 and RANKL were able to induce the proliferation of CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G+ MDSCs and up-regulate c-fms expression. Moreover, CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G+ MDSCs obtained from old mice showed increased antigen-specific T cell suppressive function, pStat3 expression, and cytokine production in response to inflammatory stimulation, compared to those cells obtained from young mice. Our findings suggest that CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G+ MDSCs are a source of osteoclast precursors that together with the presence of persistent, low-grade inflammation, contribute to age-associated bone loss in mice.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the second most common disease only secondary to cardiovascular disease, with the risk of fracture increasing with age. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance between osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis processes. Osteoclastogenesis may be enhanced, osteoblastogenesis may be reduced, or both may be evident. Inflammation and high reactive oxygen enhance osteoclastogenesis while reducing osteoblastogenesis by inducing osteoblast apoptosis and suppressing osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation. Catechins, the main polyphenols found in green tea with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can counteract the deleterious effects of the imbalance of osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis caused by osteoporosis. Green tea catechins can attenuate osteoclastogenesis by enhancing apoptosis of osteoclasts, hampering osteoclastogenesis, and prohibiting bone resorption in vitro. Catechin effects can be directly exerted on pre-osteoclasts/osteoclasts or indirectly exerted via the modulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/stromal cell regulation of pre-osteoclasts through activation of the nuclear factor kB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) system. Catechins also can enhance osteoblastogenesis by enhancing osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and increasing osteoblastic survival, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. The in vitro effects of catechins on osteogenesis have been confirmed in several animal models, as well as in epidemiological observational studies on human subjects. Even though randomized control trials have not shown that catechins provide anti-fracture efficacy, safety data in the trials are promising. A large-scale, placebo-controlled, long-term randomized trial with a tea regimen intervention of optimal duration is required to determine anti-fracture efficacy.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence of the involvement of the tryptophan metabolite kynurenine (KYN) in disrupting osteogenesis and contributing to aging-related bone loss. Here, we show that KYN has an effect on bone resorption by increasing osteoclastogenesis. We have previously reported that in vivo treatment with KYN significantly increased osteoclast number lining bone surfaces. Here, we report the direct effect of KYN on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in Raw 264.7 macrophage cells, and we propose a potential mechanism for these KYN-mediated effects. We show that KYN/RANKL treatment results in enhancement of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. KYN drives upregulation and activation of the key osteoclast transcription factors, c-fos and NFATc1 resulting in an increase in the number of multinucleated TRAP+ osteoclasts, and in hydroxyapatite bone resorptive activity. Mechanistically, the KYN receptor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), plays an important role in the induction of osteoclastogenesis. We show that blocking AhR signaling using an AhR antagonist, or AhR siRNA, downregulates the KYN/RANKL-mediated increase in c-fos and NFATc1 and inhibits the formation of multinucleated TRAP + osteoclasts. Altogether, this work highlights that the novelty of the KYN and AhR pathways might have a potential role in helping to regulate osteoclast function with age and supports pursuing additional research to determine if they are potential therapeutic targets for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.

Fusion Potential of Human Osteoclasts In Vitro Reflects Age, Menopause, and In Vivo Bone Resorption Levels of Their Donors-A Possible Involvement of DC-STAMP. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176368. [PMID: 32887359 PMCID: PMC7504560 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
It is well established that multinucleation is central for osteoclastic bone resorption. However, our knowledge on the mechanisms regulating how many nuclei an osteoclast will have is limited. The objective of this study was to investigate donor-related variations in the fusion potential of in vitro-generated osteoclasts. Therefore, CD14+ monocytes were isolated from 49 healthy female donors. Donor demographics were compared to the in vivo bone biomarker levels and their monocytes’ ability to differentiate into osteoclasts, showing that: (1) C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) levels increase with age, (2) the number of nuclei per osteoclast in vitro increases with age, and (3) there is a positive correlation between the number of nuclei per osteoclast in vitro and CTX levels in vivo. Furthermore, the expression levels of the gene encoding dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DCSTAMP) of osteoclasts in vitro correlated positively with the number of nuclei per osteoclast, CTX levels in vivo, and donor age. Our results furthermore suggest that these changes in gene expression may be mediated through age-related changes in DNA methylation levels. We conclude that both intrinsic factors and age-induced increase in fusion potential of osteoclasts could be contributing factors for the enhanced bone resorption in vivo, possibly caused by increased expression levels of DCSTAMP.

Sclerostin expression in trabecular bone is downregulated by osteoclasts. Sci Rep 2020; 10:13751.

Abstract
Bone tissues have trabecular bone with a high bone turnover and cortical bone with a low turnover. The mechanisms by which the turnover rate of these bone tissues is determined remain unclear. Osteocytes secrete sclerostin, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling antagonist, and inhibit bone formation. We found that sclerostin expression in cortical bone is more marked than in trabecular bone in Sost reporter mice. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) secreted from osteoclasts reportedly suppressed sclerostin expression and promoted bone formation. Here, we report that osteoclasts downregulate sclerostin expression in trabecular bone and promote bone turnover. Treatment of C57BL/6 mice with an anti-RANKL antibody eliminated the number of osteoclasts and LIF-positive cells in trabecular bone. The number of sclerostin-positive cells was increased in trabecular bone, while the number of β-catenin-positive cells and bone formation were decreased in trabecular bone. Besides, Tnfsf11 heterozygous (Rankl+/−) mice exhibited a decreased number of LIF-positive cells and increased number of sclerostin-positive cells in trabecular bone. Rankl+/− mice exhibited a decreased number of β-catenin-positive cells and reduced bone formation in trabecular bone. Furthermore, in cultured osteoclasts, RANKL stimulation increased Lif mRNA expression, suggesting that RANKL signal increased LIF expression. In conclusion, osteoclasts downregulate sclerostin expression and promote trabecular bone turnover.

Mitochondrial dysfunction impairs osteogenesis, increases osteoclast activity, and accelerates age related bone loss. Sci Rep 2020; 10:11643.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of declining bone mineral density, a universal feature of ageing, is not fully understood. Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations accumulate with age in human tissues and mounting evidence suggests that they may be integral to the ageing process. To explore the potential effects of mtDNA mutations on bone biology, we compared bone microarchitecture and turnover in an ageing series of wild type mice with that of the PolgAmut/mut mitochondrial DNA ‘mutator’ mouse. In vivo analyses showed an age-related loss of bone in both groups of mice; however, it was significantly accelerated in the PolgAmut/mut mice. This accelerated rate of bone loss is associated with significantly reduced bone formation rate, reduced osteoblast population densities, increased osteoclast population densities, and mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency in osteoblasts and osteoclasts in PolgAmut/mut mice compared with wild-type mice. In vitro assays demonstrated severely impaired mineralised matrix formation and increased osteoclast resorption by PolgAmut/mut cells. Finally, application of an exercise intervention to a subset of PolgAmut/mut mice showed no effect on bone mass or mineralised matrix formation in vitro. Our data demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction, a universal feature of human ageing, impairs osteogenesis and is associated with accelerated bone loss.

[PMID: 32637185 PMCID: PMC7329827 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-020-0102-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2020] [Revised: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Women gradually lose bone from the age of ~35 years, but around menopause, the rate of bone loss escalates due to increasing bone resorption and decreasing bone formation levels, rendering these individuals more prone to developing osteoporosis. The increased osteoclast activity has been linked to a reduced estrogen level and other hormonal changes. However, it is unclear whether intrinsic changes in osteoclast precursors around menopause can also explain the increased osteoclast activity. Therefore, we set up a protocol in which CD14+ blood monocytes were isolated from 49 female donors (40-66 years old). Cells were differentiated into osteoclasts, and data on differentiation and resorption activity were collected. Using multiple linear regression analyses combining in vitro and in vivo data, we found the following: (1) age and menopausal status correlate with aggressive osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro; (2) the type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide level in vivo inversely correlates with osteoclast resorption activity in vitro; (3) the protein level of mature cathepsin K in osteoclasts in vitro increases with age and menopause; and (4) the promoter of the gene encoding the dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein is less methylated with age. We conclude that monocytes are "reprogrammed" in vivo, allowing them to "remember" age, the menopausal status, and the bone formation status in vitro, resulting in more aggressive osteoclasts. Our discovery suggests that this may be mediated through DNA methylation. We suggest that this may have clinical implications and could contribute to understanding individual differences in age- and menopause-induced bone loss.

Abstract
As a consequence of the considerable increase in the human lifespan over the last century, we are experiencing the appearance and impact of new age-related diseases. The causal relationships between aging and an enhanced susceptibility of suffering from a broad spectrum of diseases need to be better understood. However, one specific shared feature seems to be of capital relevance for most of these conditions: the low-grade chronic inflammatory state inherently associated with aging, i.e., inflammaging. Here, we review the molecular and cellular mechanisms that link aging and inflammaging, focusing on the role of the innate immunity and more concretely on the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, as well as how the chronic activation of this inflammasome has a detrimental effect on different age-related disorders.

Abstract
A decline in bone mass leading to an increased fracture risk is a common feature of age-related bone changes. The mechanisms underlying bone senescence are very complex and implicate systemic and local factors and are the result of the combination of several changes occurring at the cellular, tissue and structural levels; they include alterations of bone cell differentiation and activity, oxidative stress, genetic damage and the altered responses of bone cells to various biological signals and to mechanical loading. The molecular mechanisms responsible for these changes remain greatly unclear and many data derived from in vitro or animal studies appear to be conflicting and heterogeneous, probably due to the different experimental approaches; nevertheless, understanding the main physio-pathological processes that cause bone senescence is essential for the development of new potential therapeutic options for treating age-related bone loss. This article reviews the current knowledge concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of age-related bone changes.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) target osteoclasts, slowing bone resorption thus providing rationale to support osseointegration. However, BPs may negatively affect osteoblasts, impairing peri-implant bone formation. The goal of this study was to assess the effects BPs have on surface-mediated osteogenesis of osteoblasts. MG63 cells were cultured on 15-mm grade 2 titanium disks: smooth, hydrophobic-microrough, or hydrophilic-microrough (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland). Tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) was used as a control. At confluence, cells were treated with 0, 10-8 , 10-7 , and 10-6 M of alendronate, zoledronate, or ibandronate for 24 hr. Sprague Dawley rats were also treated with 1 μg/kg/day ibandronate or phosphate-buffered saline control for 5 weeks. Calvarial osteoblasts (rat osteoblasts [rOBs]) were isolated, characterized, and cultured on surfaces. Osteogenic markers in the media were quantified using ELISAs. BP treatment reduced osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, bone morphogenetic protein-2, prostaglandin E2 , transforming growth factor β1, interleukin 10, and vascular endothelial growth factor in MG63 cells. The effect was more robust on rough surfaces, and higher concentrations of BPs stunted production to TCPS/PT levels. Ibandronate conditioned rOBs produced less osteogenic markers similar to direct BP treatment. These results suggest that BP exposure jeopardizes the pro-osteogenic response osteoblasts have to microstructured surfaces. Their effects persist in vivo and negatively condition osteoblast response in vitro. Clinically, BPs could compromise osseointegration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study determined whether implant surfaces that promote osseointegration in normal rats can promote osseointegration in osteoporotic rats without pharmacologic intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Virgin female 8-month-old CD Sprague Dawley rats (N = 25) were ovariectomized. At 6 weeks, microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic, microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic, or microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic Ti implants (Ø2.5 × 3.5 mm; Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) were placed in the distal metaphysis of each femur. At 28 days, bone quality and implant osseointegration were assessed using microCT, histomorphometrics, and removal torque values (RTVs). Calvarial osteoblasts were isolated and cultured for 7 days on Ø15 mm Ti disks processed to exhibit similar surface characteristics as the implants used for the in vivo studies. The phenotype was assessed by measuring the production of osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, BMP2, VEGF, and RANKL. RESULTS Microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implants promoted increased bone-to-implant contact and RTVs in vivo and increased osteoblastic marker production in vitro compared to microstructured/non-nanostructured/hydrophobic and microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophobic implants, suggesting that osseointegration occurs in osteoporotic animals, and implant surface properties improve its rate. CONCLUSIONS Although all modified implants were able to osseointegrate in rats with OVX-induced osteoporosis without pharmacologic intervention, the degree of osseointegration was greater around microstructured/nanostructured/hydrophilic implant surfaces. These results suggest that when appropriate microstructure is present, hydrophilicity has a greater influence on Ti implant osseointegration compared to nanostructures. Moreover, modified implant surfaces can exert their control over the altered bone turnover observed in osteoporotic patients to stimulate functional osseointegration. These results provide critical insight for developing implants with improved osseointegration in patients with metabolic disorders of bone remodeling.

Friend or Foe? Essential Roles of Osteoclast in Maintaining Skeletal Health. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4791786.

Abstract
Heightened activity of osteoclast is considered to be the culprit in breaking the balance during bone remodeling in pathological conditions, such as osteoporosis. As a “foe” of skeletal health, many antiosteoporosis therapies aim to inhibit osteoclastogenesis. However, bone remodeling is a dynamic process that requires the subtle coordination of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Severe suppression of osteoclast differentiation will impair bone formation because of the coupling effect. Thus, understanding the complex roles of osteoclast in maintaining proper bone remodeling is highly warranted to develop better management of osteoporosis. This review aimed to determine the varied roles of osteoclasts in maintaining skeletal health and to highlight the positive roles of osteoclasts in maintaining normal bone remodeling. Generally, osteoclasts interact with osteocytes to initiate targeted bone remodeling and have crosstalk with mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts via secreted factors or cell-cell contact to promote bone formation. We believe that a better outcome of bone remodeling disorders will be achieved when proper strategies are made to coordinate osteoclasts and osteoblasts in managing such disorders.

Abstract
What is the central question of this study? Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) plays important therapeutic roles in metabolic diseases but is associated with bone loss, through insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), in animals. However, the effect of the FGF21-IGFBP1 axis on age-related bone loss has not been explored in humans. What is the main finding and its importance? Using 'genetically linked' parent and child family pairs, we show that the FGF21 concentration, but not the IGFBP1 concentration, is higher in older than in younger adults. Our results suggest that age-associated decline in bone mineral density is associated with FGF21 and increased bone turnover but not likely to involve IGFBP1 in healthy humans. ABSTRACT: Bone fragility increases with age. The fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21)-insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) axis regulates bone loss in animals. However, the role of FGF21 in mediating age-associated bone fragility in humans remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the FGF21-regulatory axis in bone turnover and the age-related decline in bone mineral density (BMD). Twenty 'genetically linked' family (parent and child) pairs were recruited. Younger adults were 22-39 years old and older adults 60-71 years old. The BMD and serum concentrations of FGF21, IGFBP1, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) were measured. Older adults had 10-18% lower BMD at the hip and spine (P < 0.008) and a twofold higher FGF21 concentration (P < 0.001). The IGFBP1 concentration was similar in younger and older adults (P = 0.961). The RANKL concentration was 44% lower (P = 0.006), whereas TRAP5b and BAP concentrations were 36 and 31% higher (P = 0.01 and P = 0.004), respectively, in older adults than in younger adults. Adjusting for sex did not affect these results. The FGF21 concentration was negatively correlated with BMD at the spine (r = -0.460, P = 0.003), but not with the IGFBP1 concentration (r = -0.144, P = 0.374). The IGFBP1 concentration was not correlated with BMD at the hip or spine (all P > 0.05). In humans, FGF21 might be involved in the age-associated decline in BMD, especially at the spine, through increased bone turnover. IGFBP1 is unlikely to be the downstream effector of FGF21 in driving the age-associated decline in BMD and in RANKL-associated osteoclast differentiation.

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

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by bone loss and increased fracture susceptibility. Whether this is due to reduced loading in less active elderly individuals or inherent modifications in bone cells is uncertain. We suppose that osteoporosis is nonetheless prima facie evidence for impaired mechanoadaptation; either capacity to accrue new bone declines, or the stimulus for such accrual is absent/can no longer be triggered in the aged. Herein, we provide only sufficient background to enable a focus on recent advances which seek to address such dilemmas. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advances from innovative high-impact loading regimes emphasize the priming of mechanoadaptation in the aged, such that low-to-moderate intensity loading becomes beneficial. These new findings lead us to speculate that aged bone mechanoadaptation is not driven solely by strain magnitude but is instead sensitive to high strain gradients. Impaired mechanoadaptation is a feature of the aged skeleton. Recent advances indicate that novel interventional loading regimes can restore mechanoadaptive capacity, enabling new approaches for retaining bone health in the aged. Innovative exercise paradigms appear to be capable of "hacking" into the osteogenic signal produced by exercise such that low-to-moderate intensity activities may also become more beneficial. Deciphering the underpinning mechanism(s) will also enable new pharmacological intervention for retaining bone health in the aged.

Abstract
Bone-related maladies are a major health burden on modern society. Loss of skeletal integrity and regeneration capacity through aging, obesity, and disease follows from a detrimental shift in bone formation and resorption dynamics. Targeting tissue-resident adult stem cells offers a potentially innovative paradigm in the development of therapeutic strategies against organ dysfunction. While the essential role of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) for development, growth, and maintenance of the skeleton has been generally established, a common consensus on the exact identity and definition of a pure bona fide SSC population remains elusive. The controversies stem from conflicting results between different approaches and criteria for isolation, detection, and functional evaluation; along with the interchangeable usage of the terms SSC and "mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC)". A great number of prospective bone-forming stem cell populations have been reported with various characteristic markers, often describing overlapping cell populations with widely unexplored heterogeneity, species specificity, and distribution at distinct skeletal sites, bone regions, and microenvironments, thereby creating confusion that may complicate future advances in the field. In this review, we examine the state-of-the-art knowledge of SSC biology and try to establish a common ground for the definition and terminology of specific bone-resident stem cells. We also discuss recent advances in the identification of highly purified SSCs, which will allow detailed interrogation of SSC diversity and regulation at the single-cell level.

Abstract
The mechano-adaptive response of bone to loading in the murine uniaxial tibial loading model is impaired in aged animals. Previous studies have shown that in aged mice, the amount of bone formed in response to loading is augmented when loads are applied following sciatic neurectomy. The synergistic effect of neurectomy and loading remains to be elucidated. We hypothesize that sciatic neurectomy increases cellular presence, thereby augmenting the response to load in aged mice. We examined bone adaptation in four groups of female C57BL/6J mice, 20-22 months old: (1) sham surgery + 9N loading; (2) sciatic neurectomy, sacrificed after 5 days; (3) sciatic neurectomy, sacrificed after 19 days; (4) sciatic neurectomy + 9N loading. We examined changes in bone cross sectional properties with micro-CT images, and static and dynamic histomorphometry with histological sections taken at the midpoint between tibiofibular junctions. The response to loading at 9N was not detectable with quantitative micro-CT data, but surface-specific histomorphometry captured an increase in bone formation in specific regions. 5 days following sciatic neurectomy, the amount of bone in the neurectomized leg was the same as the contralateral leg, but 19 days following sciatic neurectomy, there was significant bone loss in the neurectomized leg, and both osteoclasts and osteoblasts were recruited to the endosteal surfaces. When sciatic neurectomy and loading at 9N were combined, 3 out of 4 bone quadrants had increased bone formation, on the endosteal and periosteal surfaces (increased osteoid surface and mineralizing surface respectively). These data demonstrate that sciatic neurectomy increases cellular presence on the endosteal surface. With long-term sciatic-neurectomy, both osteoclasts and osteoblasts were recruited to the endosteal surface, which resulted in increased bone formation when combined with a sufficient mechanical stimulus. Controlled and localized recruitment of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts combined with appropriate mechanical loading could inform therapies for mechanically-directed bone formation.
