Abstract
Osteoclasts are pivotal in regulating bone metabolism, with immune cells significantly influencing both physiological and pathological processes by modulating osteoclast functions. This is particularly evident in conditions of inflammatory bone resorption, such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. This review summarizes and comprehensively analyzes the research progress on the regulation of osteoclast formation by immune cells, aiming to unveil the underlying mechanisms and pathways through which diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis, impact bone metabolism.

Abstract
A man in his 20s with a medical history of syphilis, chlamydia and HIV presented to the emergency department (ED) with 2 months of right hip pain and was found to have advanced avascular necrosis (AVN) of the right femoral head with secondary haemorrhage. The patient lacked the common risk factors of AVN in patients with HIV (PWH): ≥10 years of HIV diagnosis, extended duration on highly active antiretroviral therapy, trauma, corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, systemic lupus erythematosus, obesity, smoking and dyslipidaemia. Given the extensive destructive changes in the hip joint and muscles, a right hip resection arthroplasty was performed, and the patient recovered well postoperatively. This case presents a learning opportunity for understanding bone pathologies in PWH and offers clinical guidance for the management of HIV-infected patients with a focus on optimising bone health.

The anti-HIV drug abacavir stimulates β-catenin activity in osteoblast lineage cells. JBMR Plus 2024; 8:ziae037. [PMID: 38590756 PMCID: PMC11001392 DOI: 10.1093/jbmrpl/ziae037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) loss in people living with HIV occurs with the initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), particularly with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) containing cART. Switching from TDF to abacavir (ABC) or dolutegravir (DTG) leads to increased BMD. Whether BMD gains are due to cessation of TDF or anabolic effects of ABC or DTG is unclear. We investigated the effects of ABC and DTG on osteoblast lineage cells in vitro and in vivo. Primary human osteoblasts and male C57BL/6 mice were treated with individual antiretrovirals (ARVs) or a combination of ABC/DTG/lamivudine (3TC). Nearly all ARVs and cART inhibited osteogenic activity in vitro. Due to the importance of Wnt/β-catenin in bone formation, we further investigated ARV effects on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. ABC, alone and as part of ABC/DTG/3TC, increased osteoblastic β-catenin activity as indicated by increased TOPFlash activity, hypo-phosphorylated (active) β-catenin staining, and β-catenin targeted gene expression. Mice treated with TDF had decreased lumbar spine BMD and trabecular connectivity density in the vertebrae, while those treated with ABC/DTG/3TC reduced cortical area and thickness in the femur. Mice treated with ABC alone had no bone structural changes, increased circulating levels of the bone formation marker, P1NP, and elevated expression of the Wnt/β-catenin target gene, Lef1, in osteocyte enriched samples. Further, bones from ARV-treated mice were isolated to evaluate ARV distribution. All ARVs were detected in the bone tissue, which was inclusive of bone marrow, but when bone marrow was removed, only TDF, ABC, and DTG were detected at ~0.1% of the circulating levels. Overall, our findings demonstrate that ABC activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling, but whether this leads to increased bone formation requires further study. Assessing the impact of ARVs on bone is critical to informing ARV selection and/or discovery of regimens that do not negatively impact the skeleton.

Abstract
The transformation of HIV into a manageable chronic condition has unveiled new clinical challenges associated with aging-related pathologies, including bone disease. This review explores the intricate relationship between HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and bone disease, highlighting the necessity of early diagnosis and preventative strategies to mitigate the increased risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures in people living with HIV (PLWHIV). It synthesizes the current literature to elucidate the multifactorial etiology of bone pathology in this population, that includes direct viral effects, chronic immune activation, ART-associated risks, and the impact of traditional risk factors for bone loss. Through a critical examination of modern diagnostic methods, lifestyle modifications, evidence-based preventive actions, and pharmacological treatments, the necessity for comprehensive management is highlighted, along with recommendations for integrated healthcare approaches vital for achieving optimal patient outcomes. By advocating for a proactive, patient-centered, and multidisciplinary strategy, this review proposes a plan to integrate bone health into standard HIV care through active risk identification, vigilant screening, effective preventive measures, tailored treatments, and informed decision-making, in an effort to ultimately enhance the quality of life for PLWHIV.

Correlates of Circulating Osteoprotegerin in Women with a Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic Variant in the BRCA1 Gene. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2024; 33:298-305. [PMID: 38015775 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-23-0577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), the decoy receptor for receptor activator of NFκB (RANK)-ligand, have been reported among women with a BRCA1 mutation, suggesting OPG may be marker of cancer risk. Whether various reproductive, hormonal, or lifestyle factors impact OPG levels in these women is unknown. METHODS BRCA1 mutation carriers enrolled in a longitudinal study, no history of cancer, and a serum sample for OPG quantification, were included. Exposure information was collected through self-reported questionnaire at study enrollment and every 2 years thereafter. Serum OPG levels (pg/mL) were measured using an ELISA, and generalized linear models were used to assess the associations between reproductive, hormonal, and lifestyle exposures at the time of blood collection with serum OPG. Adjusted means were estimated using the fully adjusted model. RESULTS A total of 701 women with a median age at blood collection of 39.0 years (18.0-82.0) were included. Older age (Spearman r = 0.24; P < 0.001) and current versus never smoking (98.82 vs. 86.24 pg/mL; Pcat < 0.001) were associated with significantly higher OPG, whereas ever versus never coffee consumption was associated with significantly lower OPG (85.92 vs. 94.05 pg/mL; Pcat = 0.03). There were no other significant associations for other exposures (P ≥ 0.06). The evaluated factors accounted for 7.5% of the variability in OPG. CONCLUSIONS OPG is minimally influenced by hormonal and lifestyle factors among BRCA1 mutation carriers. IMPACT These findings suggest that circulating OPG levels are not impacted by non-genetic factors in high-risk women.

Cooperation between T and B cells reinforce the establishment of bone metastases in a mouse model of breast cancer. Bone 2024; 178:116932.

Abstract
Immune cells educated by the primary breast tumor and their secreted factors support the formation of bone pre-metastatic niche. Indeed, we showed that RANKL+ CD3+ T cells, specific for the 4T1 mammary carcinoma cell line, arrive at the bone marrow before metastatic cells and set the pre-metastatic niche. In the absence of RANKL expressed by T cells, there is no pre-metastatic osteolytic disease and bone metastases are completely blocked. Adding to the role of T cells, we have recently demonstrated that dendritic cells assist RANKL+ T cell activities at bone pre-metastatic niche, by differentiating into potent bone resorbing osteoclast-like cells, keeping their antigen-presenting cell properties, providing a positive feedback loop to the osteolytic profile. Here we are showing that bone marrow-derived CD19+ B cells, from 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, also express the pro-osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL). Analysis of trabecular bone mineral density by conventional histomorphometry and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) demonstrated that B cells expressing RANKL cooperate with 4T1-primed CD3+ T cells to induce bone loss. Moreover, RANKL expression by B cells depends on T cells activity, since experiments performed with B cells derived from 4T1 tumor-bearing nude BALB/c mice resulted in the maintenance of trabecular bone mass instead of bone loss. Altogether, we believe that 4T1-primed RANKL+ B cells alone are not central mediators of bone loss in vivo but when associated with T cells induce a strong decrease in bone mass, accelerating both breast cancer progression and bone metastases establishment. Although several studies performed in different pathological settings, showed that B cells, positively and negatively impact on osteoclastogenesis, due to their capacity to secret pro or anti-osteoclastogenic cytokines, as far as we know, this is the first report showing the role of RANKL expression by B cells on breast cancer-derived bone metastases scenario.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by chronic/recurrent respiratory infections, bronchiectasis, autoimmunity, inflammatory, gastrointestinal diseases and malignancies associated with a chronic inflammatory state and increased risk of osteoporosis and muscle loss. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), body composition and their relationship with lymphocyte subpopulations in CVID patients. METHODS Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed to assess BMD, lean mass, and fat mass in CVID patients. Peripheral blood CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ cells were measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (37.3 ± 10.8 years old) were examined. Although only 11.8% of the individuals were malnourished (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), 27.7% of them had low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and 57.6% of them had low BMD. Patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis presented lower weight (p = 0.007), lean mass (p = 0.011), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.011), SMI (p = 0.017), and CD4+ count (p = 0.030). Regression models showed a positive association between CD4+ count and bone/muscle parameters, whereas CD19+ B cell count was only associated with muscle variables. Analysis of ROC curves indicated a cutoff value of CD4+ count (657 cells/mm3; AUC: 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.90) which was related to low BMD. Weight (p = 0.004), lean mass (p = 0.027), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.022), SMI (p = 0.029), total bone mineral content (p = 0.005), lumbar (p = 0.005), femoral neck (p = 0.035), and total hip BMD (p<0.001) were found to be lower in patients with CD4+ count below the cutoff. CONCLUSION CVID patients presented with low BMD, which was associated with CD4+ count. Moreover, low muscle parameters were correlated with B cell count.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoclasts play a crucial role in bone resorption, and impairment of their differentiation can have significant implications for bone density, especially in individuals with HIV who may be at risk of altered bone health. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of HIV infection on osteoclast differentiation using primary human monocyte-derived macrophages as precursors. The study focused on assessing the impact of HIV infection on cellular adhesion, cathepsin K expression, resorptive activity, cytokine production, expression of co-receptors, and transcriptional regulation of key factors involved in osteoclastogenesis. Methods Primary human monocyte-derived macrophages were utilized as precursors for osteoclast differentiation. These precursors were infected with HIV, and the effects of different inoculum sizes and kinetics of viral replication were analyzed. Subsequently, osteoclastogenesis was evaluated by measuring cellular adhesion, cathepsin K expression, and resorptive activity. Furthermore, cytokine production was assessed by monitoring the production of IL-1β, RANK-L, and osteoclasts. The expression levels of co-receptors CCR5, CD9, and CD81 were measured before and after infection with HIV. The transcriptional levels of key factors for osteoclastogenesis (RANK, NFATc1, and DC-STAMP) were examined following HIV infection. Results Rapid, massive, and productive HIV infection severely impaired osteoclast differentiation, leading to compromised cellular adhesion, cathepsin K expression, and resorptive activity. HIV infection resulted in an earlier production of IL-1β concurrent with RANK-L, thereby suppressing osteoclast production. Infection with a high inoculum of HIV increased the expression of the co-receptor CCR5, as well as the tetraspanins CD9 and CD81, which correlated with deficient osteoclastogenesis. Massive HIV infection of osteoclast precursors affected the transcriptional levels of key factors involved in osteoclastogenesis, including RANK, NFATc1, and DC-STAMP. Conclusions The effects of HIV infection on osteoclast precursors were found to be dependent on the size of the inoculum and the kinetics of viral replication. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms to develop novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of bone disorders in individuals with HIV.

Abstract
Patients with viral infections are susceptible to osteoporosis. This cohort study investigated the correlation between human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and the risk of osteoporosis via 12,936 patients with new-onset HPV infections and propensity score-matched non-HPV controls enrolled in Taiwan. The primary endpoint was incident osteoporosis following HPV infections. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine the effect of HPV infections on the risk of osteoporosis. Patients with HPV infections presented with a significantly high risk of osteoporosis (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.06-1.65) after adjusting for sex, age, comorbidities and co-medications. Subgroup analysis provided that populations at risk of HPV-associated osteoporosis were females (aHR = 1.33; 95% CI = 1.04-1.71), those aged between 60 and 80 years (aHR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.01-2.08 for patients aged 60-70; aHR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.07-2.12 for patients aged 70-80), and patients with long-term use of glucocorticoids (aHR = 2.17; 95% CI = 1.11-4.22). HPV-infected patients who did not receive treatments for HPV infections were at a greater risk (aHR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.09-1.80) of osteoporosis, while the risk of osteoporosis in those who received treatments for HPV infections did not reach statistical significance (aHR = 1.14; 95% CI = 0.78-1.66). Patients with HPV infections presented with a high risk of subsequent osteoporosis. Treatments for HPV infections attenuated the risk of HPV-associated osteoporosis.

Abstract
The developments in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment and in the care of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) over the last three decades has led to a significant increase in life expectancy, on par with HIV-negative individuals. Aside from the fact that bone fractures tend to occur 10 years earlier than in HIV-negative individuals, HIV is, per se, an independent risk factor for bone fractures. A few available antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) are also linked with osteoporosis, particularly those involving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) coinfection is associated with a greater risk of osteoporosis and fracture than HIV monoinfection. Both the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) via a DEXA scan are routinely used in the assessment of fracture risk in individuals living with HIV, as bone loss is thought to start between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. The main treatment for established osteoporosis involves bisphosphonates. Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D is part of clinical practice of most HIV centers globally. Further research is needed to assess (i) the cut-off age for assessment of osteoporosis, (ii) the utility of anti-osteoporotic agents in PLWHIV and (iii) how concomitant viral infections and COVID-19 in PLWHIV can increase risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Coccidiosis is an economically significant disease in the global poultry industry, but little is known about the mechanisms of bone defects caused by coccidiosis; thus, the study focused on effects of coccidiosis on the bone homeostasis of young broiler chickens. A total of 480 male Cobb500 broilers were randomly allocated into four treatment groups, including an uninfected control consuming diet ad libitum, two infected groups were orally gavaged with two different concentrations of sporulated Eimeria oocysts, and an uninfected pair-fed group fed the same amount of feed as the high Eimeria-infected group consumed. Growth performance and feed intake were recorded, and samples were collected on 6 days post infection. Results indicated that coccidiosis increased systemic oxidative status and elevated immune response in bone marrow, suppressing bone growth rate (P < 0.05) and increasing bone resorption (P < 0.05) which led to lower bone mineral density (P < 0.05) and mineral content (P < 0.05) under Eimeria infection. With the same amount of feed intake, the uninfected pair-fed group showed a distinguished bone formation rate and bone resorption level compared with the Eimeria infected groups. In conclusion, inflammatory immune response and oxidative stress in broilers after Eimeria infection were closely associated with altered bone homeostasis, highlighting the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in broiler bone homeostasis during coccidiosis.

Abstract
Vector-borne infections of humans with the protozoan parasite Leishmania (L.) infantum can cause a systemic and potentially lethal disease termed visceral leishmaniasis. In the corresponding mouse model, an intravenous infection with L. infantum leads to the persistence of parasites in various organs, including bone marrow (BM). Considering the anatomical proximity between the BM and the cortical bone, we investigated whether a chronic infection with L. infantum affected bone homeostasis. Unexpectedly, chronic infection with L. infantum caused an increase in bone mass in mice. In vivo, an increased number of osteoblasts and osteocytes and a decreased maturation of osteoclasts characterized the phenotype. Confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy confirmed the infection of BM macrophages but also revealed the presence of parasites in osteoclasts. In vitro, mature osteoclasts took up L. infantum parasites. However, infection of osteoclast progenitors abolished their differentiation and function. In addition, secretory products of infected BM-derived macrophages inhibited the maturation of osteoclasts. Both in vitro and in vivo, infected macrophages and osteoclasts showed an enhanced expression of the anti-osteoclastogenic chemokine CCL5 (RANTES). Neutralization of CCL5 prevented the inhibition of osteoclast generation seen in the presence of culture supernatants from L. infantum-infected macrophages. Altogether, our study shows that chronic infection with Leishmania increases bone mass by inducing bone formation and impairing osteoclast differentiation and function. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) represent a vulnerable population to adverse musculoskeletal outcomes due to HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and at-risk alcohol use. Developing measures to prevent skeletal degeneration in this group requires a grasp of the relationship between alcohol use and low bone mass in both the PLWH population and its constituents as defined by sex, age, and race. We examined the association of alcohol use with serum biochemical markers of bone health in a diverse cohort of PLWH enrolled in the New Orleans Alcohol Use in HIV (NOAH) study. To explore the effects of alcohol on bone in the context of HIV and ART and the role of estrogen, we conducted a parallel, translational study using simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)+/ART+ female rhesus macaques divided into four groups: vehicle (Veh)/Sham; chronic binge alcohol (CBA)/Sham; Veh/ovariectomy (OVX); and CBA/OVX. Clinical data showed that both osteocalcin (Ocn) and procollagen type I N-propeptide (PINP) levels were inversely associated with multiple measures of alcohol consumption. Age (>50 years) significantly increased susceptibility to alcohol-associated suppression of bone formation in both female and male PLWH, with postmenopausal status appearing as an additional risk factor in females. Serum sclerostin (Scl) levels correlated positively with measures of alcohol use and negatively with Ocn. Micro-CT analysis of the macaque tibias revealed that although both CBA and OVX independently decreased trabecular number and bone mineral density, only OVX decreased trabecular bone volume fraction and impacted cortical geometry. The clinical data implicate circulating Scl in the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced osteopenia and suggest that bone morphology can be significantly altered in the absence of net change in osteoblast function as measured by serum markers. Inclusion of sophisticated tools to evaluate skeletal strength in clinical populations will be essential to understand the impact of alcohol-induced changes in bone microarchitecture. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is the 10th most common and 13th most deadly malignancy worldwide. About 5% of BCa patients present initially with metastatic disease, with bone being the most diagnosed site for distant metastasis. The overall one-year survival of patients with BCa is 84%, whereas it is only 21% in patients with bone metastasis (BM). Metastasis of BCa cells to bone occurs by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, intravasation, extravasation, and interactions with the bone microenvironment. However, the mechanism of BCa metastasis to the bone is not completely understood; it needs a further preclinical model to completely explain the process. As different imaging mechanisms, PET-CT cannot replace a radionuclide bone scan or an MRI for diagnosing BM. The management of BCa patients with BM includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, bisphosphonates, denosumab, radioisotopes, and surgery. The objective of these treatments is to inhibit disease progression, improve overall survival, reduce skeletal-related events, relieve pain, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
Backgrounds As a systemic skeletal dysfunction, osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by low bone mass and bone microarchitectural damage. The global incidences of OP are high. Methods Data were retrieved from databases like Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), GeneCards, Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING), Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA2), and other databases. R software (version 4.1.1) was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and perform functional analysis. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression and random forest algorithm were combined and used for screening diagnostic markers for OP. The diagnostic value was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Molecular signature subtypes were identified using a consensus clustering approach, and prognostic analysis was performed. The level of immune cell infiltration was assessed by the Cell-type Identification by Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm. The hub gene was identified using the CytoHubba algorithm. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on the plasma of osteoporosis patients and control samples. The interaction network was constructed between the hub genes and miRNAs, transcription factors, RNA binding proteins, and drugs. Results A total of 40 DEGs, eight OP-related differential genes, six OP diagnostic marker genes, four OP key diagnostic marker genes, and ten hub genes (TNF, RARRES2, FLNA, STXBP2, EGR2, MAP4K2, NFKBIA, JUNB, SPI1, CTSD) were identified. RT-qPCR results revealed a total of eight genes had significant differential expression between osteoporosis patients and control samples. Enrichment analysis showed these genes were mainly related to MAPK signaling pathways, TNF signaling pathway, apoptosis, and Salmonella infection. RT-qPCR also revealed that the MAPK signaling pathway (p38, TRAF6) and NF-kappa B signaling pathway (c-FLIP, MIP1β) were significantly different between osteoporosis patients and control samples. The analysis of immune cell infiltration revealed that monocytes, activated CD4 memory T cells, and memory and naïve B cells may be related to the occurrence and development of OP. Conclusions We identified six novel OP diagnostic marker genes and ten OP-hub genes. These genes can be used to improve the prognostic of OP and to identify potential relationships between the immune microenvironment and OP. Our research will provide insights into the potential therapeutic targets and pathogenesis of osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients are at high risk for osteonecrosis along with age-related osteoarthritis, resulting in a high number of joint reconstruction surgeries at younger ages in these immunosuppressed patients. Few previous studies have reported on patient outcomes in HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) compliant patients undergoing primary arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to report one institution's overall rate of complications and revision in HAART-compliant patients after primary hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed spanning a 4 year period. This study included 50 primary joint arthroplasty patients diagnosed with HIV including 13 TKA (total knee arthroplasty) and 37 THA (total hip arthroplasty) with a prior diagnosis of HIV infection. Preoperative CD4 count and viral loads were recorded. Charts were reviewed for post-operative complications including infection and revision. RESULTS The were a total of 11 postoperative complications (22%). There were 3 cases (6%) of soft tissue infection, 3 cases (6%) of implant loosening, 2 cases (4%) of dislocation, 1 case (2%) of lower extremity weakness, 1 case (2%) of venous thrombosis, and 1 case (2%) of arthrofibrosis. Of all patients, there were 6 cases of revision in this cohort (12%), 5 of which were aseptic etiology. All 3 infected patients had a history of IVDU. Two of these infected patients resolved with IV antibiotics while 1 underwent two-stage revision (2%). Patients that experienced post-operative complications had significantly elevated preoperative CD4 levels (983 versus 598, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Arthroplasty is a viable option for HAART-compliant patients. Most previous studies showing a higher risk for deep tissue infection and revision in HIV patients have not accounted for modern HAART. Our results show that compliance with HAART has vastly improved the outcomes of arthroplasty in these patients, while a history of IVDU is likely the largest risk factor for infection in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW People living with HIV (PLWH) are at an increased risk for osteoporosis, a disease defined by the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone quality, both of which independently contribute to an increased risk of skeletal fractures. While there is an emerging body of literature focusing on the factors that contribute to BMD loss in PLWH, the contribution of these factors to bone quality changes are less understood. The current review summarizes and critically reviews the data describing the effects of HIV, HIV disease-related factors, and antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) on bone quality. RECENT FINDINGS The increased availability of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography has confirmed that both HIV infection and ARVs negatively affect bone architecture. There is considerably less data on their effects on bone remodeling or the composition of bone matrix. Whether changes in bone quality independently predict fracture risk, as seen in HIV-uninfected populations, is largely unknown. The available data suggests that bone quality deterioration occurs in PLWH. Future studies are needed to define which factors, viral or ARVs, contribute to loss of bone quality and which bone quality factors are most associated with increased fracture risk.

Abstract
In People with HIV (PWH), chronic immune activation and systemic inflammation are associated with increased risk to develop comorbidities including bone loss. Numerous cells of the immune system, namely, T cells are involved in the regulation of the bone homeostasis and osteoclasts (OCs) activity. IL-27, a cytokine that belongs to the IL-12 family can regulate the secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines by T cells, however its role in the setting of HIV is largely unknown. In the present study, we determined the impact of OCs in T cell secretion of cytokines and whether IL-27 can regulate this function. We found that the presence of OCs in the T cell cultures significantly enhanced secretion of IFNγ, TNFα, IL-17, RANKL, and IL-10 in both PWH and healthy controls. In PWH, IL-27 inhibited IL-17 secretion and downregulated surface expression of RANKL in CD4 T cells. All together these results suggest that in the context of HIV infection IL-27 may favor IFNγ and TNFα secretion at the sites of bone remodeling.

[PMID: 34962571 PMCID: PMC9373144 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiab631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune reconstitution bone loss (IRBL) is a common side-effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in people living with HIV (PWH). IRBL acts through CD4 + T-cell/immune reconstitution-induced inflammation and is independent of antiviral regimen. IRBL may contribute to the high rate of bone fracture in PWH, a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Although IRBL is transient, it remains unclear whether bone recovers, or is permanently denuded and further compounds bone loss associated with natural aging. METHODS We utilized a validated IRBL mouse model involving T-cell reconstitution of immunocompromised mice. Mice underwent cross-sectional bone phenotyping of femur and/or vertebrae between 6- and 20-months-of-age by micro-computed tomography (µCT) and quantitative bone histomorphometry. CD4 + T-cells were purified at 20 months to quantify osteoclastogenic/inflammatory cytokine expression. RESULTS While cortical IRBL in young animals recovered with time, trabecular bone loss was permanent, and exacerbated skeletal decline associated with natural aging. At 20-months-of-age, reconstituted CD4 + T-cells express enhanced osteoclastogenic cytokines including RANKL, IL-1β, IL-17A and TNFα, consistent with elevated osteoclast numbers. CONCLUSIONS IRBL in the trabecular compartment is permanent and further exacerbates bone loss due to natural aging. If validated in humans, interventions to limit IRBL may be important to prevent fractures in aging PWH.

Abstract
Women are grossly underrepresented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) clinical and translational research. This is concerning given that people with HIV (PWH) are living longer, and thus accumulating aging-related non-AIDS comorbidities (NACMs); emerging evidence suggests that women are at higher risk of NACM development and progression compared with men. It is widely recognized that women vs men have greater immune activation in response to many viruses, including HIV-1; this likely influences sex-differential NACM development related to differences in HIV-associated chronic inflammation. Furthermore, many sociobehavioral factors that contribute to aging-related NACMs are known to differ by sex. The objectives of this review were to (1) synthesize sex-stratified data on 4 NACMs among PWH: bone disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, and neurocognitive impairment; (2) evaluate the characteristics of key studies assessing sex differences in NACMs; and (3) introduce potential biological and psychosocial mechanisms contributing to emerging trends in sex-differential NACM risk and outcomes among PWH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is a frequent comorbidity observed in people living with HIV (PLHIV). OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence and associated factors of reduced bone mineral density (BMD) among men with suppressed viral load taking antiretroviral therapy. METHOD The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study design between January to April 2019. 211 patients were included in the study. Z-score at either body site between -1.0 and -2.0 or -2 or less were defined as osteopenia or osteoporosis, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors affecting the development of reduced BMD. RESULTS The mean age of the patients involved in the study was 34.8 ± 7.6. Osteoporosis was detected in 21.4% and osteopenia in 44.5% of the patients. There was a significant relationship between HIV diagnosis time, ART usage duration, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) use, TDF use in the past, total TDF usage time and decreased BMD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the likelihood of reduced bone marrow density was 67% lower among those with regular milk or dairy product intake compared to those without (OR=0.330; 95% CI = 0.12-0.92, p=0.033 ) Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of reduced BMD among PLHIV aged under 50 which is mainly confounded by HIV diagnosis time, ART usage duration and TDF usage. Although virological control has been achieved, these patients should be followed up, considering that they may have decreased BMD.

Abstract
The bone marrow microenvironment is composed primarily of immune and stromal cells that play important roles in fracture healing. Although immune cells have been identified in mouse bone marrow, variations in their numbers and type during the fracture healing process remain poorly defined. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to identify immune cells in fracture tissues, including neutrophils, monocytes, T cells, B cells, and plasma cells. The number of B cells decreased significantly in the early stage of fracture healing. Furthermore, B cells in mice fracture models decreased significantly during the epiphyseal phase and then gradually returned to normal during the epiphyseal transformation phase of fracture healing. The B-cell pattern was opposite to that of bone formation and resorption activities. Notably, B-cell-derived exosomes inhibited bone homeostasis in fracture healing. In humans, a decrease in the number of B cells during the epiphyseal phase stimulated fracture healing. Then, as the numbers of osteoblasts increased during the callus reconstruction stage, the number of B cells gradually recovered, which reduced additional bone regeneration. Thus, B cells are key regulators of fracture healing and inhibit excessive bone regeneration by producing multiple osteoblast inhibitors.

Abstract
The sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of enzymes from the group of NAD+-dependent deacetylases. Through the reaction of splitting the acetyl group of various transcription factors and histones they regulate many processes in the organism. The activity of sirtuins is linked to metabolic control, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, and they also affect the course of viral infections. For this reason, they may participate in the pathogenesis and development of many diseases, but little is known about their role in the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which is the subject of this review. In the course of HIV infection, comorbidities such as: neurodegenerative disorders, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, lipid disorders and cardiovascular diseases, renal and bone diseases developed more frequently and faster compared to the general population. The role of sirtuins in the development of accompanying diseases in the course of HIV infection may also be interesting. There is still a lack of detailed information on this subject. The role of sirtuins, especially SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6, are indicated to be of great importance in the course of HIV infection and the development of the abovementioned comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on bone mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers of bone remodeling in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV-coinfected patients. METHODS We prospectively assessed standardized BMD (sBMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, World Health Organization BMD categories at both sites, and plasma concentrations of soluble receptor activator of NF-κβ ligand (sRANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) at baseline (the date of initiation of anti-HCV therapy) and at 96 weeks. RESULTS A total of 238 patients were included. The median age was 49.5 years, 76.5% were males, 48.3% had cirrhosis, 98.3% were on antiretroviral therapy, median CD4+ cell count was 527 cells/μL, and 86.6% had HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL. The prevalence of osteoporosis at baseline at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) was 17.6% and 7.2%, respectively. Anti-HCV therapy comprised pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) plus 1 direct-acting antiviral in 53.4%, peg-IFN/RBV in 34.5%, and sofosbuvir/RBV in 12.2%. A total of 145 (60.9%) patients achieved sustained virologic response (SVR). No significant effect of SVR was observed on sBMD for the interaction between time and SVR either in the LS (P = .801) or the FN (P = .911). Likewise, no significant effect of SVR was observed in plasma levels of sRANKL (P = .205), OPG (P = .249), or sRANKL/OPG ratio (P = .123) for the interaction between time and SVR. No significant correlation was found between fibrosis by transient elastography, and LS and FN sBMD, at baseline and week 96. CONCLUSIONS SVR was not associated with significant changes in BMD nor biomarkers of bone remodeling in HIV/HCV-coinfected persons.

Bone-sparing effects of rituximab and body composition analysis in a cohort of postmenopausal women affected by rheumatoid arthritis - retrospective study. Reumatologia 2021; 59:206-210.

Abstract
Objective Osteoporosis is the most common bone tissue disease and it is characterized by a reduced bone mineral density (BMD). The main physiopathological mechanisms converge on the uncoupling between bone formation and resorption, thus leading to an enhanced risk of fractures. Several papers have documented the inverse relationships linking high inflammatory cytokines, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, rheumatoid factor, and BMD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rituximab (RTX) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 receptor of B cells. Since the Food and Drug Administration approved it for RA in 2006, there have been many clinical experiences regarding its use. Nevertheless, few studies evaluate the effect of rituximab on BMD. RA is a disease characterized by immune dysfunction with high levels of inflammatory cytokines, autoantibodies, and it is reasonable that a B cell depleting therapy could restore a physiological cytokine balance, thus exerting an osteoprotective effect on the bone tissue. The purpose of this paper is to highlight any difference in BMD and to assess differences in body composition over a retrospective 18-month follow-up period after RTX treatment with a B cell depleting therapy. Material and methods We analyzed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry BMD expressed as g/cm2 and body composition modifications over 18 months with RTX treatment of 20 postmenopausal RA patients. Results After eighteen months of therapy with RTX, a statistically significant increase in vertebral (L1–L4) BMD and the stability of femoral BMD were documented. Conclusions Rituximab is associated with an improvement of vertebral and preservation of femoral BMD, suggesting a bone-sparing effect due to B cell depletion. Furthermore, patients displayed a redistribution of fat masses toward the hip region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Current British HIV Association (BHIVA) guidelines recommend the use of FRAX for the routine assessment of bone fracture risk in people living with HIV over 50 years of age every 3 years. Bone mineral density measurement with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan is recommended for those with increased fracture risk (FRAX major > 10%). Our objectives were to estimate the prevalence of and risk factors for osteoporosis in a population of PLWH aged > 50 years and assess the utility of FRAX in predicting the presence of DXA-proven osteoporosis in this cohort. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of a cohort of PLWH aged > 50 years attending the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and who had a DXA scan between January 2009 and December 2018. FRAX scores were calculated using the Sheffield algorithm. Multiple regression models and Cohen's kappa values were used to assess risk factors for osteoporosis and agreement between FRAX and DXA scan results, respectively. RESULTS In all, 744 patients were included (92.9% male, mean age 56 ± 5 years). The prevalence rates of osteoporosis (at DXA scans) and osteopenia were 12.2% and 63.7%, respectively. FRAX major was > 10% in only two patients, while 90/91 (98.9%) patients with osteoporosis had a normal FRAX score. The presence of osteoporosis was significantly associated with low body mass index and estimated glomerular filtration rate (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that FRAX scores did not predict the presence of osteoporosis in our population of PLWH over 50 years of age and therefore FRAX scores may not be the appropriate tool to define eligibility to perform DXA scans in PLWH.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic skeletal disease. It is characterized by the deterioration of the skeletal microarchitecture and bone loss, leading to ostealgia, and even bone fractures. Accumulating evidence has indicated that there is an inextricable relationship between the gut microbiota (GM) and bone homeostasis involving host-microbiota crosstalk. Any perturbation of the GM can play an initiating and reinforcing role in disrupting the bone remodeling balance during the development of osteoporosis. Although the GM is known to influence bone metabolism, the mechanisms associated with these effects remain unclear. Herein, we review the current knowledge of how the GM affects bone metabolism in health and disease, summarize the correlation between pathogen-associated molecular patterns of GM structural components and bone metabolism, and discuss the potential mechanisms underlying how GM metabolites regulate bone turnover. Deciphering the complicated relationship between the GM and bone health will provide new insights into the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Introduction Insight into inflammation patterns is needed to understand the pathophysiology of HIV and related cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed patterns of inflammation related to HIV infection and CVD risk assessed with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT). Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in Johannesburg, South Africa, including participants with HIV who were virally suppressed on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) as well as HIV-negative participants who were family members or friends to the HIV-positive participants. Information was collected on CVD risk factors and CIMT. Inflammation was measured with the Olink panel ‘inflammation’, allowing to simultaneously assess 92 inflammation markers. Differences in inflammation patterns between HIV-positive and HIV-negative participants were explored using a principal component analysis (PCA) and ANCOVA. The impact of differentiating immune markers, as identified by ANCOVA, on CIMT was assessed using linear regression while adjusting for classic CVD risk factors. Results In total, 185 HIV-positive and 104 HIV negative participants, 63% females, median age 40.7 years (IQR 35.4 – 47.7) were included. HIV-positive individuals were older (+6 years, p <0.01) and had a higher CIMT (p <0.01). No clear patterns of inflammation were identified by use of PCA. Following ANCOVA, nine immune markers differed significantly between HIV-positive and HIV-negative participants, including PDL1. PDL1 was independently associated with CIMT, but upon stratification this effect remained for HIV-negative individuals only. Conclusion HIV positive patients on stable ART and HIV negative controls had similar immune activation patterns. CVD risk in HIV-positive participants was mediated by inflammation markers included in this study.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated bone loss is complex and to date largely unknown. In this study, we investigated serum expression of microRNAS (miRNAs) linked to bone metabolism in HIV-associated bone loss. This was a case-control study. Thirty male individuals with HIV infection (HIV+) and osteoporosis/osteopenia (HIV+/OP+) (cases) and 30 age-matched male HIV+ individuals with normal bone mass (HIV+/OP-) (controls) were included in the analysis. Thirty male individuals matched for age without HIV infection (HIV-), were also included as second controls. The selected panel of miRNAs was as follows: hsa-miRNA-21-5p; hsa-miRNA-23a-3p; hsa-miRNA-24-2-5p; hsa-miRNA-26a-5p; hsa-miRNA-29a-3p; hsa-miRNA-124-3p; hsa-miRNA-33a-5p; and hsa-miRNA-133a-3p. Within the cohort of HIV+ individuals, relative serum expression of miRNA-21-5p and miRNA-23a-3p was significantly lower (p < 0.001) while the expression of miRNA-24-2-5p was significantly higher (p = 0.030) in HIV+/OP+ compared to HIV+/OP-. Expression of miRNA-21-5p demonstrated a sensitivity of 84.6% and a specificity of 66.7 in distinguishing HIV+/OP+ individuals. Expression of circulating miRNAs related to bone metabolism; miRNA-23a-3p, miRNA-24-2-5p, and miRNA-21-5p is significantly altered in HIV+OP+ individuals, in line with data on other causes of osteoporosis, suggesting a common pattern of circulating miRNAs independent of the underlying cause.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism underlying systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-related bone loss by evaluating the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) in premenopausal patients with new-onset SLE without any treatment. METHODS BMD and BTMs of 106 premenopausal patients with new-onset SLE and 64 gender-, age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy controls were analyzed. BMD was determined using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Serum BTMs were measured. RESULTS Hip and lumbar spine BMD in premenopausal patients with new-onset SLE was significantly decreased compared with healthy controls. Higher rate of osteoporosis was observed in new-onset SLE patients (25% vs. 1%). Moreover, uncoupled bone remodeling evidenced by an increase in bone resorption marker β-CTX (685.9 ± 709.6 pg/mL vs. 395.4 ± 326.0 pg/mL, P < 0.05) and decrease in bone formation markers PINP (37.4 ± 33.0 ng/mL vs. 46.1 ± 20.9 ng/mL, P < 0.05) and OC (11.4 ± 9.8 ng/mL vs. 18.2 ± 8.6 ng/mL, P < 0.05) was observed in premenopausal patients with new-onset SLE compared with healthy controls. Univariate correlation analyses showed negative correlations between OC and SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), and positive correlations between β-CTX and SLEDAI. SLE patients positive for dsDNA, nucleosome showed lower OC and higher β-CTX. CONCLUSION Premenopausal patients with new-onset SLE had decreased BMD and abnormal bone metabolism with increased β-CTX and decreased OC and P1NP levels, indicating uncoupled bone remodeling in new-onset SLE patients. Disease activity and abnormal immunity, especially the amount of antibodies in SLE patients, were strongly associated with abnormality of bone metabolism.

Abstract
Infection with schistosome results in immunological changes that might influence the skeletal system by inducing immunological states affecting bone metabolism. We investigated the relationships between chronic schistosome infection and bone metabolism by using a mouse model of chronic schistosomiasis, affecting millions of humans worldwide. Results showed that schistosome infection resulted in aberrant osteoclast-mediated bone loss, which was accompanied with an increased level of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) Ligand (RANKL) and decreased level of osteoprotegerin (OPG). The blockade of RANKL by the anti-RANKL antibody could prevent bone loss in the context of schistosome infection. Meanwhile, both B cells and CD4+ T cells, particularly follicular helper T (Tfh) cell subset, were the important cellular sources of RANKL during schistosome infection. These results highlight the risk of bone loss in schistosome-infected patients and the potential benefit of coupling bone therapy with anti-schistosome treatment. Schistosomiasis remains an important public health problem in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions, which affects about 200 million people worldwide, with another 700 million considered at risk of infection. Although the primary cause of pathogenesis of schistosomiasis is the granulomatous inflammatory responses, schistosomiasis patients experience long-term hidden pathologies that remain poorly investigated. Here, we found that schistosome infection resulted in RANKL-associated bone loss. Furthermore, our results indicated that both B cells and CD4+ T cells, particularly Tfh cell subset, in the peripheral lymphoid tissues are likely to be the important contributors to bone loss through releasing soluble RANKL. In addition, Tfh cells played a sufficient but not necessary role in schistosome infection-induced bone loss. Our findings highlight the risk of bone loss in schistosome-infected patients and the potential benefit of coupling bone therapy with anti-schistosome treatment.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a common phenomenon in HIV patients on tenofovir treatment, but its underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Methods Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to analyze the expression of miR-302, miR-101, miR-145 and osteoclast-specific genes in the serum of HIV patients treated with tenofovir and ZOL. ELISA was used to evaluate the expression of RANKL, SMAD3 and PRKACB in the serum of these patients. Luciferase assay was carried out to explore the inhibitory effects of miR-302, miR-101 and miR-145 on the expression of PRKACB, RANKL and SMAD3, respectively. Western blot was used to examine the expression of genes involved in NF‑κB and JNK signaling pathways. Results ZOL treatment significantly suppressed the expression of CTx and osteocalcin in HIV patients treated with tenofovir. The BMD loss of HIV patients treated with tenofovir was effectively hindered by ZOL treatment. Mechanistically, the expression of miR-302, miR-101, miR-145, RANKL, SMAD3 and PRKACB in the serum was remarkably activated by ZOL treatment. Luciferase assays showed that miR-302, miR-101 and miR-145 effectively suppressed the expression of PRKACB, RANKL and SMAD3, respectively, through binding to their 3′ UTR. Furthermore, ZOL treatment notably restored the normal expression of osteoclast‑specific genes while activating NF‑κB and JNK signaling pathways. Conclusion The findings of this study demonstrated that administration of ZOL suppressed the expression of RANKL via modulating signaling pathways of miR-101-3p/RANKL, miR-302/PRKACB/RANKL and miR-145/SMAD3/RANKL. Furthermore, down-regulated expression of RANKL by ZOL treatment alleviated osteoporosis in HIV-positive subjects treated with tenofovir.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteopenia is frequent in HIV-infected patients treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and has been linked to increased osteoclastogenesis. Little is known about the effects of ART on osteogenesis. DESIGN We investigated the effect on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and osteoblasts of Darunavir and Dolutegravir, the most highly used as anchor drugs within a three-drug regimen, and Atazanavir, which was widely utilized in the past. RESULTS We found that Atazanavir and Dolutegravir delay the osteogenic differentiation of hMSC, impair the activity of osteoblasts and inhibit their conversion into osteocytes, whereas Darunavir exerts no effect. CONCLUSION Atazanavir and Dolutegravir impair osteogenesis. It is essential to diagnose impaired osteogenesis early and to devise effective therapeutic interventions to preserve bone health in ART-treated HIV patients, putting it in the context of a correct antiretroviral combination.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis, based on a tight balance between bone formation and bone degradation, is affected by infection. On one hand, some invading pathogens are capable of directly colonizing the bone, leading to its destruction. On the other hand, immune mediators produced in response to infection may dysregulate the deposition of mineral matrix by osteoblasts and/or the resorption of bone by osteoclasts. Therefore, bone loss pathologies may develop in response to infection, and their detection and treatment are challenging. Possible biomarkers of impaired bone metabolism during chronic infection need to be identified to improve the diagnosis and management of infection-associated osteopenia. Further understanding of the impact of infections on bone metabolism is imperative for the early detection, prevention, and/or reversion of bone loss. Here, we review the mechanisms responsible for bone loss as a direct and/or indirect consequence of infection.

Abstract
Treatment of HIV-1-infected patients results in improved clinical and immunological conditions, but severe non-AIDS-related conditions still persist. Novel proteomic platforms have identified inflammatory proteins where abundance is dysregulated in adult treated patients, whereas limited data are available in treated HIV-1 infection of children. Using a proteomic plasma profiling approach comprising 92 inflammation-related molecules, we analyzed specimens from 43 vertically HIV-1-infected children receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) and matched controls in Ethiopia. The infected children were analyzed as a group and separately, according to age of treatment initiation. Proteins displaying a significantly different abundance between groups were hierarchically clustered and presented in heat maps. Random forest analysis was performed to pin-point proteins discriminating between groups; five proteins (STAMBP, CD5, TFG-α, TRANCE, AXIN1) were the strongest prediction factors for treated HIV-1 infection. TRANCE was previously linked to reduced bone mass levels in HIV-1-infected children. CCL4 chemokine, ligand to HIV-1 co-receptor CCR5, was the most critical protein for successful classification between children who initiated ART at different time points. Our data provide evidence that a dysregulated expression of proteins linked to immunological abnormalities and bone metabolism can be found in HIV-1-infected children with prolonged exposure to ART.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to a significant decline in HIV-related morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV (PLWH). PLWH however experience non-AIDS ageing-associated comorbidities, including decreased bone mass and osteoporosis, earlier and more severely, than uninfected people. We previously reported that total B-cell production of the key osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) was elevated in PLWH, concurrent with a decrease in total B-cell production of RANKL's physiological moderator Osteoprotegerin (OPG). The resulting increased total B-cell RANKL/OPG ratio was significantly associated with bone loss in the appendicular (long bones), but not axial (spine) skeletons of PLWH. A role for immature/transitional B cells (BImm) in HIV-induced bone loss has not been reported. METHODS BImm frequency was determined by flow cytometry; plasma IL-7 was quantified by ELISA and bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a cross-sectional study of 62 ART-naive HIV-infected and 58 HIV-negative individuals. RESULTS BImm expansion correlated with the total B-cell RANKL/OPG ratio in HIV-infected individuals and inversely with BMD at the total hip, femoral neck and the lumbar spine, and with IL-7. CONCLUSION These data suggest that BImm contribute to the increased B-cell RANKL/OPG ratio in PLWH, and reveal a previously unrecognized link between BImm expansion and HIV-induced bone loss in the axial and appendicular skeletons of severely immunocompromised HIV-infected individuals. BImm expansion may be a novel biomarker for screening patients at risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
HIV-1 infection is frequently associated with low bone density, which can progress to osteoporosis leading to a high risk of fractures. Only a few mechanisms have been proposed to explain the enhanced osteolysis in the context of HIV-1 infection. As macrophages are involved in bone homeostasis and are critical host cells for HIV-1, we asked whether HIV-1-infected macrophages could participate in bone degradation. Upon infection, human macrophages acquired some osteoclast features: they became multinucleated, upregulated the osteoclast markers RhoE and β3 integrin, and organized their podosomes as ring superstructures resembling osteoclast sealing zones. However, HIV-1-infected macrophages were not fully differentiated in osteoclasts as they did not upregulate NFATc-1 transcription factor and were unable to degrade bone. Investigating whether infected macrophages participate indirectly to virus-induced osteolysis, we showed that they produce RANK-L, the key osteoclastogenic cytokine. RANK-L secreted by HIV-1-infected macrophages was not sufficient to stimulate multinucleation, but promoted the protease-dependent migration of osteoclast precursors. In conclusion, we propose that, by stimulating RANK-L secretion, HIV-1-infected macrophages contribute to create a microenvironment that favors the recruitment of osteoclasts, participating in bone disorders observed in HIV-1 infected patients.

Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2020; 44:992-1000. [PMID: 32124466 PMCID: PMC7263383 DOI: 10.1111/acer.14303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although unhealthy alcohol use and low bone density are prevalent among people living with HIV (PLWH), it is not clear whether alcohol use is associated with bone turnover markers (BTMs), and if so, at what quantity and frequency. The study objective was to examine the association between alcohol and BTMs in PLWH with substance use disorder. METHODS We studied a prospective cohort recruited from 2 HIV clinics who met criteria for DSM-IV substance dependence or reported ever injection drug use. Outcomes were BTM of (i) bone formation (serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide [P1NP]) and (ii) bone resorption (serum C-telopeptide type 1 collagen [CTx]). Alcohol consumption measures included (i) mean number of drinks/d (Timeline Follow-Back [TLFB]) (primary predictor), (ii) any alcohol use on ≥20 of the past 30 days, and phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a biomarker of recent alcohol consumption. Linear regression analysis examined associations between (i) each alcohol measure and each BTM and (ii) change in alcohol and change in BTM over 12 months. RESULTS Among 198 participants, baseline characteristics were as follows: The median age was 50 years; 38% were female; 93% were prescribed antiretroviral medications; 13% had ≥20 drinking days/month; mean drinks/day was 1.93 (SD 3.89); change in mean drinks/day was -0.42 (SD 4.18); mean P1NP was 73.1 ng/ml (SD 34.5); and mean CTx was 0.36 ng/ml (SD 0.34). Higher drinks/day was significantly associated with lower P1NP (slope -1.09 ng/ml; 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.94, -0.23, per each additional drink). On average, those who drank on ≥ 20 days/month had lower P1NP (-15.45 ng/ml; 95% CI: -26.23, -4.67) than those who did not. Similarly, PEth level ≥ 8ng/ml was associated with lower P1NP. An increase in drinks/d was associated with a decrease in P1NP nonsignificantly (-1.14; 95% CI: -2.40, +0.12; p = 0.08, per each additional drink). No significant associations were detected between either alcohol measure and CTx. CONCLUSIONS In this sample of PLWH with substance use disorder, greater alcohol consumption was associated with lower serum levels of bone formation markers.

Serum extracellular vesicles expressing bone activity markers associate with bone loss after HIV antiretroviral therapy. AIDS 2020; 34:351-361.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested whether bone-related extracellular vesicle phenotypes changed after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) and determined whether changes in levels of extracellular vesicles correlated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD). DESIGN Extracellular vesicle phenotypes were measured in blinded serum samples from 15 adults with HIV at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after ART initiation. Not all samples were available at each time point so we averaged early (TP1, 1-3 months) and late (TP2, 6-12 months) time points. METHODS Extracellular vesicles were stained for osteocalcin (OC), RANKL (CD254), RANK (CD265), M-CSF (macrophage colony stimulating factor), and CD34. Serum OC, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) were also measured. RESULTS BMD significantly decreased from baseline to 12 months. Levels of OC+EVs, serum OC, serum P1NP, and CTx were significantly higher at early and late time points compared with baseline. Increases in EVs expressing OC, RANKL, RANK, and CD34 from baseline to TP1 were associated with decreases in total hip BMD from baseline to 12 months. Change in serum OC, P1NP, and CTx from baseline to TP1 or TP2 did not correlate with change in BMD. CONCLUSION Early changes in extracellular vesicles expressing markers of bone activity were associated with total hip bone loss 12 months after ART initiation. These data suggest that serum extracellular vesicles may serve as novel biomarkers of bone remodeling. Future studies are required to determine if extracellular vesicles contribute to the effects of ART on changes in bone turnover markers and BMD.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV)/AIDS pandemic represents the most significant global health challenge in modern history. This infection leads toward an inflammatory state associated with chronic immune dysregulation activation that tilts the immune-skeletal interface and its deep integration between cell types and cytokines with a strong influence on skeletal renewal and exacerbated bone loss. Hence, reduced bone mineral density is a complication among HIV-infected individuals that may progress to osteoporosis, thus increasing their prevalence of fractures. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can effectively control HIV replication but the regimens, that include tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), may accelerate bone mass density loss. Molecular mechanisms of HIV-associated bone disease include the OPG/RANKL/RANK system dysregulation. Thereby, osteoclastogenesis and osteolytic activity are promoted after the osteoclast precursor infection, accompanied by a deleterious effect on osteoblast and its precursor cells, with exacerbated senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This review summarizes recent basic research data on HIV pathogenesis and its relation to bone quality. It also sheds light on HAART-related detrimental effects on bone metabolism, providing a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in bone dysfunction and damage as well as how the HIV-associated imbalance on the gut microbiome may contribute to bone disease.

Abstract
Bone is a highly adaptive tissue with regenerative properties that is subject to numerous diseases. Infection is one of the causes of altered bone homeostasis. Bone infection happens subsequently to bone surgery or to systemic spreading of microorganisms. In addition to osteoblasts, osteoclasts (OCs) also constitute cell targets for pathogens. OCs are multinucleated cells that have the exclusive ability to resorb bone mineral tissue. However, the OC is much more than a bone eater. Beyond its role in the control of bone turnover, the OC is an immune cell that produces and senses inflammatory cytokines, ingests microorganisms and presents antigens. Today, increasing evidence shows that several pathogens use OC as a host cell to grow, generating debilitating bone defects. In this review, we exhaustively inventory the bacteria and viruses that infect OC and report the present knowledge in this topic. We point out that most of the microorganisms enhance the bone resorption activity of OC. We notice that pathogen interactions with the OC require further investigation, in particular to validate the OC as a host cell in vivo and to identify the cellular mechanisms involved in altered bone resorption. Thus, we conclude that the OC is a new cell target for pathogens; this new research area paves the way for new therapeutic strategies in the infections causing bone defects.

Abstract
In the bone marrow, preB cells are found adjacent to the bone endosteum where bone synthesizing osteoblast and bone resorbing osteoclasts reside. Although there is evidence of interactions between preB and bone cells, the factors that contribute to such interactions are poorly understood. A critical checkpoint for preB cell development assesses the integrity of the nascent immunoglobulin μ heavy chain (HC) by testing whether it can participate in the formation of a preB cell receptor (preBCR), composed of the μ HC and surrogate light chain (LC). In this work, we tested whether loss of preBCR components can affect bone synthesis. A panel of gene targeted mice with sequential blocks in preBCR formation or function [surrogate light chain component lambda 5 deleted (λ5−/−), transmembrane domain of μHC deleted (IgM-mem−/−), and CD19 preBCR co-receptor deleted (CD19−/−)] were evaluated for effects on postnatal bone synthesis. Postnatal bone mass was analyzed in 6 month old mice using μ-CT, histomorphometry and double calcein labeling. Both cortical and trabecular bone mass were significantly decreased in the femurs of the λ5 and IgM-mem deficient mice. Histomorphometric analysis showed a decrease in the numbers of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in all three mutant strains. Double calcein labeling revealed a significant decrease in dynamic synthesis and mineralization of bone in λ5−/− mice. Our data strongly suggest that interference with preBCR formation or function affects bone homeostasis independent of the presence or absence of mature B cells, and that components of the preBCR play important, and potentially distinct, roles in regulating adult bone mass.

Abstract
Both HIV infection and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment adversely impact bone metabolism and may lead to osteopenia, which has critical implications for youth with HIV (YWH). This study evaluates changes in the biomarkers of bone metabolism and inflammation among YWH receiving initial treatment with TDF- and non-TDF-containing antiretroviral therapies (ARTs). YWH [n = 23, median age 21 years (range 18-24), 87% male, 61% African American] were assessed for inflammatory and bone metabolism biomarkers at enrollment, after 48 weeks of TDF-containing ART, and 96 weeks of ART without TDF with continued viral suppression. Spearman's rank correlation evaluated biomarker associations. Bone alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and osteopontin increased after TDF treatment. All fell after TDF was discontinued. Levels of RANKL and osteoprotegerin did not change throughout the study. There was little correlation between biomarkers of bone metabolism and either macrophage or lymphocyte activation at any time point. Our results establish baseline associations between bone metabolism and immune biomarkers for this population, and find that before CD4 T cell decline chronic inflammation does not perturb biomarkers of bone metabolism among YWH. The adverse effects of TDF on bone health may be marginal for YWH at the early stages of disease.

Abstract
AIM Low bone mineral density occurs more commonly in patients with haemophilia (PWH) than the general population. However, the risk of haemophilia-related osteoporotic fractures has not been well established. We aim to explore the relationship between haemophilia and the development of osteoporotic fractures following haemophilia. METHODS This was a nationwide population-based cohort study based on the data in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (TNHIRD). Patients who were diagnosed with haemophilia were selected. A comparison cohort was formed of patients without haemophilia who were matched according to age and sex. The incidence rate and the hazard ratios (HRs) of new-onset osteoporotic fractures were calculated for both cohorts. RESULTS The haemophilia cohort consisted of 75 patients, and the comparison cohort comprised 300 matched control patients without haemophilia. The risk of osteoporotic fractures was higher in the haemophilia cohort than in the comparison cohort (HR = 5.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.42-12.1, P < 0.001). After adjustments for age, sex, comorbidities, urbanizations and socio-economic status, PWH were 4.37 times more likely to develop osteoporotic fractures (95% CI = 1.88-10.17, P = 0.001) as compared to matched cohort. In addition, the incidence of newly diagnosed osteoporotic fractures was significantly increased after 5-year follow-up durations. CONCLUSION Though our study by TNHIRD presented methodologic flaws by its design nature, we observed that haemophilia may increase the risk of osteoporotic fractures and the cumulative incidence was significantly higher for PWH diagnosed more than 5 years. Clinicians should pay particular attention to osteoporotic fractures following haemophilia in PWH as they age.

Abstract
Life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) is reaching similar length as in the general population. Accordingly, age-related comorbidities, including osteoporosis, are increasing. Fracture risk is higher and increases approximately 10 years earlier in PLWH. Classical risk factors of bone fragility are highly prevalent in PLWH but factors specific for HIV infection itself and the type of antiretroviral therapy (ART) (triple combination antiretroviral therapy) regimen (especially tenofovir and protease inhibitors) also contribute to bone loss. The majority of bone loss occurs during virus activity and at initiation of ART (immune reconstitution) and is associated with an increase of bone resorption (upregulation RANKL). Recent data indicate that calcium and vitamin D supplements as ART initiation lower BMD loss. The reduction of tenofovir plasma concentrations with tenofovir alafenamide attenuates BMD loss but it remains unknown whether it will contribute to reduce fracture risk. Hence, special considerations for the management of bone fragility in PLWH are warranted. Based on the current state of epidemiology and pathophysiology of osteoporosis in PLWH, we provide the consensus of the Swiss Association against Osteoporosis on best practice for diagnosis, prevention, and management of osteoporosis in this population. Periodic assessment of fracture risk is indicated in all HIV patients and general preventive measures should be implemented. All postmenopausal women, men above 50 years of age, and patients with other clinical risk for fragility fractures qualify for BMD measurement. An algorithm clarifies when treatment with bisphosphonates and review of ART regimen in favour of more bone-friendly options are indicated.

Abstract
PURPOSE HIV-infected subjects present increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and T cell activation in the peripheral blood despite suppressive combination antiretroviral therapy which renders them susceptible to premature aging. The purpose of the present work was to review existing evidence on the ways in which the anatomical and microbiological abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract can represent a major cause of organ disease in HIV infection. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the Pubmed database for articles published from 2014 to 2018. We included studies on inflammatory/activation biomarkers associated with cardiovascular and bone disease, neurocognitive impairment and serious non-AIDS events in HIV-infected subjects. We also included researches which linked peripheral inflammation/activation to the anatomical, immune and microbiological alterations of the gastrointestinal tract. RESULTS Recent literature data confirm the association between non-infectious comorbidities and inflammation in HIV infection which may be driven by gastrointestinal tract abnormalities, specifically microbial translocation and dysbiosis. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence on the possible role of metabolic functions of the microbiota in the pathogenesis of premature aging in the HIV-infected population. CONCLUSIONS Biomarkers need to be validated for their use in the management of HIV infection. Compounds which counteract microbial translocation, inflammation and dysbiosis have been investigated as alternative therapeutic strategies in viro-suppressed HIV-infected individuals, but appear to have limited efficacy, probably due to the multifactorial pathogenesis of non-infectious comorbidities in this setting.

Abstract
The bone is the third most common site of metastasis for a wide range of solid tumors including lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, thyroid, gynecologic, and melanoma, with 70% of metastatic prostate and breast cancer patients harboring bone metastasis.1 Unfortunately, once cancer spreads to the bone, it is rarely cured and is associated with a wide range of morbidities including pain, increased risk of fracture, and hypercalcemia. This fact has driven experts in the fields of bone and cancer biology to study the bone, and has revealed that there is a great deal that each can teach the other. The complexity of the bone was first described in 1889 when Stephen Paget proposed that tumor cells have a proclivity for certain organs, where they "seed" into a friendly "soil" and eventually grow into metastatic lesions. Dr. Paget went on to argue that although many study the "seed" it would be paramount to understand the "soil." Since this original work, significant advances have been made not only in understanding the cell-autonomous mechanisms that drive metastasis, but also alterations which drive changes to the "soil" that allow a tumor cell to thrive. Indeed, it is now clear that the "soil" in different metastatic sites is unique, and thus the mechanisms that allow tumor cells to remain in a dormant or growing state are specific to the organ in question. In the bone, our knowledge of the components that contribute to this fertile "soil" continues to expand, but our understanding of how they impact tumor growth in the bone remains in its infancy. Indeed, we now appreciate that the endosteal niche likely contributes to tumor cell dormancy, and that osteoclasts, osteocytes, and adipocytes can impact tumor cell growth. Here, we discuss the bone microenvironment and how it impacts cancer cell seeding, dormancy, and growth. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Objective Immunosuppressive biologics are used in the management of RA and additional immunomodulators are under investigation including modulators of the CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L) costimulation pathway. Tampering with immune function can have unanticipated skeletal consequences due to disruption of the immuno-skeletal interface, a nexus of shared cells and cytokine effectors serving discrete functions in both immune and skeletal systems. In this study, we examined the effect of MR1, a CD40L neutralizing antibody, on physiological bone remodelling in healthy mice. Methods Female C57BL6 mice were treated with MR1 and BMD was quantified by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and indices of trabecular bone structure were quantified by micro-CT. Serum biochemical markers were used to evaluate bone turnover and formation indices by histomorphometry. Results Unexpectedly, MR1 stimulated significant accretion of BMD and trabecular bone mass in the spine, but not in long bones. Surprisingly, bone accretion was accompanied by a significant increase in bone formation, rather than suppression of bone resorption. Mechanistically, MR1-induced bone accrual was associated with increased Treg development and elevated production of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4, a costimulation inhibitor that promotes T cell anergy and CD8+ T cell expression of the bone anabolic ligand Wnt-10b. Conclusion Our studies reveal an unexpected bone anabolic activity of pharmacological CD40L suppression. Therapeutic targeting of the CD40L pathway may indeed have unforeseen consequences for the skeleton, but may also constitute a novel strategy to promote bone formation to ameliorate osteoporotic bone loss and reduce fracture risk in the axial skeleton.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The role of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory, non-AIDS comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and liver disease has become a focus of recent research. Low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture incidence in people living with HIV (PLWH) is also widely reported, however, the relationship between alterations in the gut microbiome and bone disease in PLWH has not been previously reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS Murine models that manipulate the gut microbiome, either through breeding of 'germ-free' mice or antibiotic-depleted gut microbiome, show differences in bone mineral density and bone mass in those with altered gut microbiome. This effect is reported to be driven via changes in the gut-immune-skeletal axis, with changes favouring bone resorption. Several inflammatory conditions wherever bone loss is a prominent feature, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, have also reported alterations in the gut microbiome, which are associated with bone loss, again through changes in the gut-immune-skeletal axis. SUMMARY The interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune-skeletal axis in HIV represents a complex relationship. Alterations in the gut microbiome, which induce an activated immune phenotype and inflammatory milieu are associated with non-AIDS comorbidities in PLWH and bone loss in several other conditions characterized by chronic immune activation and inflammation. It is, therefore, likely that there are comparable effects between altered gut microbiome and bone loss in HIV, however, further research is required to better define this relationship in populations of PLWH.
