J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 84:127419. [PMID: 38461620 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2024.127419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Increased exposure to fluoride, which notably affects bone metabolism, is a global concern. However, the correlations and sensitivity of bone metabolism to fluoride remain controversial. In this cross-sectional study, 549 children (aged 7-12 years) and 504 adults (≥ 18 years old) were recruited in the high-fluoride areas of the Henan Province. Urinary fluoride (UF) level was determined using a fluoride electrode. Fasting venous blood serum was collected to measure bone metabolism biomarkers. The selected bone metabolism biomarkers for children included bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), calcitonin (CT), parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphorus (P5+), and calcium (Ca2+). For adults, the biomarkers included ALP, CT, PTH, β-CrossLaps (β-CTX), P5+, and Ca2+. The correlations between UF and bone metabolism biomarkers were analyzed using binary logistic regression, a trend test, a generalized additive model, and threshold effect analysis. Regression analysis indicated a significant correlation between serum OCN, PTH, and UF levels in children aged 7-9 years. Serum OCN, PTH, and BALP contents were significantly correlated with UF in boys (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the interaction between age and UF affected serum P5+ and PTH (P < 0.05). The generalized additive model revealed nonlinear dose-response relationships between P5+, BALP, and UF contents in children (P < 0.05). Serum OCN level was linearly correlated with the UF concentration (P < 0.05). Similarly, a significant correlation was observed between β-CTX and UF levels in adults. In addition, significant correlations were observed between UF-age and serum Ca2+, β-CTX, and PTH contents. There was a non-linear correlation between serum Ca2+, P5+, and β- CTX and UF levels (P < 0.05). Overall, serum OCN, BALP, and P5+ levels can serve as sensitive bone metabolism biomarkers in children, while β-CTX, P5+, and Ca2+ can be considered fluoride-sensitive bone metabolism biomarkers in adults.

Abstract
Excessive fluoride intake during enamel development can affect enamel mineralization, leading to dental fluorosis. However, its potential mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the impact of fluoride on the expressions of RUNX2 and ALPL during mineralization and the effect of TGF-β1 administration on fluoride treatment. A dental fluorosis model of newborn mice and an ameloblast cell line ALC were both used in the present study. The mice of the NaF group, including the mothers and newborns, were fed with water containing 150 ppm NaF after delivery to induce dental fluorosis. The mandibular incisors and molars showed significant abrasion in the NaF group. Immunostaining, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting analysis indicated that exposure to fluoride markedly down-regulated RUNX2 and ALPL in mouse ameloblasts and ALCs. Besides, fluoride treatment significantly decreased the mineralization level detected by ALP staining. Furthermore, exogenous TGF-β1 up-regulated RUNX2 and ALPL and promoted mineralization, while the addition of SIS3 could block such TGF-β1-induced up-regulation. In TGF-β1 conditional knockout mice, the immunostaining of RUNX2 and ALPL was weaker compared with wild-type mice. Exposure to fluoride inhibited the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad3. Co-treatment of TGF-β1 and fluoride up-regulated RUNX2 and ALPL compared with the fluoride alone treatment, promoting mineralization. Collectively, our data indicated that TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway was necessary for the regulatory effects of fluoride on RUNX2 and ALPL, and the fluoride-induced suppression of ameloblast mineralization was mitigated by activating TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Advances in cell-based regenerative therapy create new opportunities for the treatment of bone-related disorders and injuries, by improving the reparative phase of bone healing. Apart from the classical approach of bone grafting, the application of cell-based therapies, particularly stem cells (SCs), has gained a lot of attention in recent years. SCs play an important role in regenerative therapy due to their excellent ability to differentiate into bone-forming cells. Regeneration of new bone is regulated by a wide variety of signalling molecules and intracellular networks, which are responsible for coordinating cellular processes. The activated signalling cascade is significantly involved in cell survival, proliferation, apoptosis, and interaction with the microenvironment and other types of cells within the healing site. Despite the increasing evidence from studies conducted on signalling pathways associated with bone formation, the exact mechanism involved in controlling the differentiation stage of transplanted cells is not well understood. Identifying the key activated pathways involved in bone regeneration may allow for precise manipulation of the relevant signalling molecules within the progenitor cell population to accelerate the healing process. The in-depth knowledge of molecular mechanisms would be advantageous in improving the efficiency of personalised medicine and targeted therapy in regenerative medicine. In this review, we briefly introduce the theory of bone repair mechanism and bone tissue engineering followed by an overview of relevant signalling pathways that have been identified to play an important role in cell-based bone regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Little attention has been paid to the tolerance of osteoblasts to fluoride in distinct differentiation stages, and the role of TGF-β1 in fluoride-treated osteoblast differentiation of progenitors and precursors was rarely mentioned in previous studies. The present study aimed to clarify how fluoride affected different differentiation stages of osteoblasts, and to elucidate the role of TGF-β1 in this process. We assessed cell migration, proliferation, DNA damage, and apoptosis of early-differentiated osteoblasts derived from bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) exposed to fluoride with or without TGF-β1. Subsequently, MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with mineral induction medium were treated with fluoride to test fluoride's effect on late-differentiated osteoblasts. The specific fluoride concentrations and treatment times were chosen to evaluate the role of TGF-β1 in fluoride-induced osteoblastic differentiation and function. Results showed early-differentiated osteoblasts treated with a low dose of fluoride grew and moved more rapidly. TGF-β1 promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis in early-differentiated osteoblasts exposed to a low fluoride dose, but enhanced apoptosis at higher fluoride conditions. In the late-differentiated osteoblasts, the fluorine dose range with anabolic effects was narrowed, and the fluoride range with catabolic effects was widened. Treatment with a low fluoride dose stimulated the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression. TGF-β1 treatment inhibited Runx2 expression but increased RANKL expression in late-differentiated osteoblasts exposed to fluoride. Meanwhile, TGF-β1 treatments activated Smad3 phosphorylation but blocked Wnt10b expression in osteoblasts. We conclude that TGF-β1 plays an essential role in fluoride-induced differentiation and osteoblast function via activation of Smad3 instead of Wnt10 signaling.

Abstract
Fluoride is a persistent environmental pollutant, and its excessive intake contributes to skeletal and dental fluorosis. The mechanisms underlying fluoride-induced abnormal osteoblast proliferation and activation, which are related to skeletal fluorosis, have not yet been fully clarified. As important epigenetic regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in bone metabolism. On the basis of our previous miRNA-seq results and bioinformatics analysis, this study investigated the role and specific molecular mechanism of miR-486-3p in fluoride-induced osteoblast proliferation and activation via CyclinD1. Herein, in the fluoride-challenged population, we observed that miR-486-3p expression decreased while CyclinD1 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 increased, and miR-486-3p level correlated negatively with the expression of CyclinD1 and TGF-β1 genes. Further, we verified that sodium fluoride (NaF) decreases miR-486-3p expression in human osteoblasts and overexpression of miR-486-3p reduces fluoride-induced osteoblast proliferation and activation. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that miR-486-3p regulates NaF-induced upregulation of CyclinD1 by directly targeting its 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). In addition, we observed that NaF activates the TGF-β1/Smad2/3/CyclinD1 axis and miR-486-3p mediates transcriptional regulation of CyclinD1 by TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway via targeting TGF-β1 3'-UTR in vitro. This study, thus, contributes significantly in revealing the mechanism of miR-486-3p-mediated CyclinD1 upregulation in skeletal fluorosis and sheds new light on endemic fluorosis treatment.

Abstract
Bones are metabolically active organs. Their reconstruction is crucial for the proper functioning of the skeletal system during bone growth and remodeling, fracture healing, and maintaining calcium-phosphorus homeostasis. The bone metabolism and tissue properties are influenced by trace elements that may act either indirectly through the regulation of macromineral metabolism, or directly by affecting osteoblast and osteoclast proliferation or activity, or through becoming part of the bone mineral matrix. This study analyzes the skeletal impact of macroelements (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus), microelements (fluorine), and heavy metals (lead), and discusses the concentration of each of these elements in the various bone tissues.

Abstract
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) routinely identify loci associated with risk factors for osteoporosis. However, GWASs with relatively small sample sizes still lack sufficient power to ascertain the majority of genetic variants with small to modest effect size, which may together truly influence the phenotype. The loci identified only account for a small percentage of the heritability of osteoporosis. This study aims to identify novel genetic loci associated with DXA-derived femoral neck (FNK) bone mineral density (BMD) and quantitative ultrasound of the heel calcaneus estimated BMD (eBMD), and to detect shared/causal variants for the two traits, to assess whether the SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD were also associated with FNK-BMD. Methods Novel loci associated with eBMD and FNK-BMD were identified by the genetic pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) method. Shared putative causal variants between eBMD and FNK-BMD and putative causal SNPs for each trait were identified by the colocalization method. Mendelian randomization analysis addresses the causal relationship between eBMD/FNK-BMD and fracture. Results We identified 9,500 (cFDR < 9.8E-6), 137 (cFDR < 8.9E-4) and 124 SNPs associated with eBMD, FNK-BMD, and both eBMD and FNK-BMD, respectively, with 37 genomic regions where there was a SNP that influences both eBMD and FNK-BMD. Most genomic regions only contained putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD and 3 regions contained two distinct putative causal SNPs influenced both traits, respectively. We demonstrated a causal effect of FNK-BMD/eBMD on fracture. Conclusion Most of SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with FNK-BMD were also associated with eBMD. However, most of SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD were not associated with FNK-BMD. The novel variants we identified may help to account for the additional proportion of variance of each trait and advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying osteoporotic fracture.

Abstract
The sodium iodide symporter (NIS) is the plasma membrane glycoprotein that mediates active iodide transport in the thyroid and other tissues, such as the salivary, gastric mucosa, rectal mucosa, bronchial mucosa, placenta and mammary glands. In the thyroid, NIS mediates the uptake and accumulation of iodine and its activity is crucial for the development of the central nervous system and disease prevention. Since the discovery of NIS in 1996, research has further shown that NIS functionality and iodine transport is dependent on the activity of the sodium potassium activated adenosine 5'-triphosphatase pump (Na+, K+-ATPase). In this article, I review the molecular mechanisms by which F inhibits NIS expression and functionality which in turn contributes to impaired iodide absorption, diminished iodide-concentrating ability and iodine deficiency disorders. I discuss how NIS expression and activity is inhibited by thyroglobulin (Tg), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and how fluoride upregulates expression and activity of these biomarkers. I further describe the crucial role of prolactin and megalin in regulation of NIS expression and iodine homeostasis and the effect of fluoride in down regulating prolactin and megalin expression. Among many other issues, I discuss the potential conflict between public health policies such as water fluoridation and its contribution to iodine deficiency, neurodevelopmental and pathological disorders. Further studies are warranted to examine these associations.

Abstract
Bioactive nanosilicates are emerging prominent next generation biomaterials due to their intrinsic functional properties such as advanced biochemical and biophysical cues. Recent studies show interesting dose-dependent effect of fluoride ions on the stem cells. Despite of interesting properties of fluoride ions as well as nanosilicate, there is no reported literature on the effect of fluoride-doped nanosilicates on stem cells. We have systematically evaluated the interaction of fluoride nanosilicate platelets (NS + F) with human dental follicle stem cells (hDFSCs) to probe the cytotoxicity, cellular transport (internalization) and osteogenic differentiation capabilities in comparison with already reported nanosilicate platelets without fluoride (NS − F). To understand the osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of the nanosilicate system, nanosilicate treated hDFSCs are cultured in three different medium namely normal growth medium, osteoconductive medium, and osteoinductive medium up to 21 d. NS + F treated stem cells show higher ALP activity, osteopontin levels and significant alizarin red staining compared to NS − F treated cells. This study highlights that the particles having fluoride additives (NS + F) aid in enhancing the osteogenic differentiation capabilities of hDFSCs thus potential nanobiomaterial for periodontal bone tissue regeneration.

Aberrant activation of latent transforming growth factor-β initiates the onset of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. Bone Res 2018; 6:26. [PMID: 30210898 PMCID: PMC6131160 DOI: 10.1038/s41413-018-0027-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2018] [Revised: 07/02/2018] [Accepted: 07/03/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
There is currently no effective medical treatment for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) due to a limited understanding of its pathogenesis. This study was undertaken to investigate the key role of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalling in the cartilage and subchondral bone of the TMJ using a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) rat model, an ageing mouse model and a Camurati–Engelmann disease (CED) mouse model. In the three animal models, the subchondral bone phenotypes in the mandibular condyles were evaluated by µCT, and changes in TMJ condyles were examined by TRAP staining and immunohistochemical analysis of Osterix and p-Smad2/3. Condyle degradation was confirmed by Safranin O staining, the Mankin and OARSI scoring systems and type X collagen (Col X), p-Smad2/3a and Osterix immunohistochemical analyses. We found apparent histological phenotypes of TMJ-OA in the TMD, ageing and CED animal models, with abnormal activation of TGF-β signalling in the condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. Moreover, inhibition of TGF-β receptor I attenuated TMJ-OA progression in the TMD models. Therefore, aberrant activation of TGF-β signalling could be a key player in TMJ-OA development. Blocking the activity of a critical growth factor could help treat degenerative disease of the jaw joint, according to experiments in three rodent models. Xuedong Zhou from Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, examined the cartilage and adjoining layer of bone found at the ends of the jawbone in a rat model of temporomandibular joint disorder and in two related mouse models. In all three, the researchers observed tissue abnormalities consistent with what’s seen in humans with osteoarthritis of the jaw joint, a condition with no effective therapeutic options. They showed that transforming growth factor-β, a master regulatory protein, displayed aberrant signalling patterns in these tissues and that blocking this protein’s receptor with a drug attenuated the disease process. The findings help explain what drives jaw joint osteoarthritis — and point to a strategy for treating it.

Abstract
Studies that have focused on the role TGFβ signaling plays in osteoclast activity are gradually increasing; however, literature is rare in terms of fluorosis. The aim of this study is to observe the role the TβR1/Smad3 pathway plays in fluoride regulating cellsosteoclast-like cells that are under the treatment of TGFβ receptor 1 kinase. The RANKL-mediated osteoclast-like cells from RAW264.7 cells were used as osteoclast precursor model. The profile of miRNA expression in fluoride-treated osteoclast-like cells exhibited 303 upregulated miRNAs, 61 downregulated miRNAs, and further drew 37 signaling pathway maps by KEGG and Biocarta pathway enrichment analysis. TGFβ and its downstream effectors were included among them. Osteoclast viability, formation and function were detected via MTT method, bone resorption pit and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) staining, respectively. Results demonstrated that different doses of fluoride exhibited a biphasic effect on osteoclast cell viability, differentiation, formation and function. It indicated that a low dose of fluoride treatment stimulated them, but high dose inhibited them. SB431542 acted as TβR1 kinase inhibitor and blocked viability, formation and function of osteoclast-like cells regulated by fluoride. The expression of the osteoclast marker, RANK, and TβR1/Smad3 at gene and protein level was analyzed under fluoride with and without SB431542 treatment. Fluoride treatment indicated little effect on the RANK protein expression; however it significantly influenced TRACP expression in osteoclast-like cells. The stimulation of fluoride on the expression of Smad3 gene and phosphorylated Smad3 protein exhibited dose-dependent manner. SB431542 significantly impeded phosphorylation of Smad3 protein and TRACP expression in osteoclast-like cells that were exposed to fluoride. Our work demonstrated that TGFβ signaling played a key role in fluoride regulating osteoclast differentiation, formation and function. It elucidated that TβR1/Smad3 pathway participated in the mechanism of biphasic modulation of osteoclast mode regulated by fluoride.
