Abstract
Osteoporosis, one of the most prevalent bone illnesses, majorly affects postmenopausal women and men over 50 years of age. Osteoporosis is associated with an increased susceptibility to fragility fractures and can result in persistent pain and significant impairment in affected individuals. The primary method for diagnosing osteoporosis involves the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) through the utilisation of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The integration of a fracture risk assessment algorithm with bone mineral density (BMD) has led to significant progress in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Given that osteoporosis is a chronic condition and multiple factors play an important role in maintaining bone mass, comprehending its underlying mechanism is crucial for developing more effective pharmaceutical interventions for the disease. The effective management of osteoporosis involves the utilisation of appropriate pharmacological agents in conjunction with suitable dietary interventions and lifestyle modifications. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the types of osteoporosis and elucidates the currently available pharmacological treatment options and their related mechanism of action and usage.

Osteoporosis screening using machine learning and electromagnetic waves. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12865.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by impairment of bone microarchitecture that causes high socioeconomic impacts in the world because of fractures and hospitalizations. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for diagnosing the disease, access to DXA in developing countries is still limited due to its high cost, being present only in specialized hospitals. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Osseus, a low-cost portable device based on electromagnetic waves that measures the attenuation of the signal that crosses the medial phalanx of a patient's middle finger and was developed for osteoporosis screening. The analysis is carried out by predicting changes in bone mineral density using Osseus measurements and additional common risk factors used as input features to a set of supervised classification models, while the results from DXA are taken as target (real) values during the training of the machine learning algorithms. The dataset consisted of 505 patients who underwent osteoporosis screening with both devices (DXA and Osseus), of whom 21.8% were healthy and 78.2% had low bone mineral density or osteoporosis. A cross-validation with k-fold = 5 was considered in model training, while 20% of the whole dataset was used for testing. The obtained performance of the best model (Random Forest) presented a sensitivity of 0.853, a specificity of 0.879, and an F1 of 0.859. Since the Random Forest (RF) algorithm allows some interpretability of its results (through the impurity check), we were able to identify the most important variables in the classification of osteoporosis. The results showed that the most important variables were age, body mass index, and the signal attenuation provided by Osseus. The RF model, when used together with Osseus measurements, is effective in screening patients and facilitates the early diagnosis of osteoporosis. The main advantages of such early screening are the reduction of costs associated with exams, surgeries, treatments, and hospitalizations, as well as improved quality of life for patients.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 164:114894. [PMID: 37209629 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common type of osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) has been successfully employed as food supplement against osteoarthritis, while the therapeutic potential on postmenopausal osteoporosis is little explored. In this study, CS oligosaccharides (CSOs) were enzymatically prepared through the lysis of CS by a chondroitinase from Microbacterium sp. Strain. The alleviating effects of CS, CSOs and Caltrate D (a clinically used supplement) on ovariectomy (OVX) - induced rat's osteoporosis were comparatively investigated. Our data showed that the prepared CSOs was basically unsaturated CS disaccharide mixture of ∆Di4S (53.1%), ∆Di6S (27.7%) and ∆Di0S (17.7%). 12 weeks' intragastric administration of Caltrate D (250 mg/kg/d), CS or CSOs (500 mg/kg/d, 250 mg/kg/d, 125 mg/kg/d) could obviously regulate the disorder of serum indices, recover the mechanical strength and mineral content of bone, improve the cortical bones' density and the number and length of trabecular bones in OVX rats. Both CS and CSOs in 500 mg/kg/d and 250 mg/kg/d could restore more efficiently the serum indices, bone fracture deflection and femur Ca than Caltrate D. As compared with CS at the same dosage, CSOs exhibited a more significant alleviating effect. These findings suggested that there was great potential of CSOs as daily interventions for delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization (WHO), osteoporosis is a systematic bone disability marked by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural degeneration of osseous cells, which leads to increased bones feebleness and fractures vulnerability. It is a polygenetic, physiological bone deformity that frequently leads to osteoporotic fractures and raises the risk of fractures in minimal trauma. Additionally, the molecular changes that cause osteoporosis are linked to decreased fracture repair and delayed bone regeneration. Bones have the ability to regenerate as part of the healing mechanism after an accident or trauma, including musculoskeletal growth and ongoing remodeling throughout adulthood. The principal treatment approaches for bone loss illnesses, such as osteoporosis, are hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bisphosphonates. In this review, we searched literature regarding the Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) in osteoporosis and bone regeneration. The literature results are summarized in this review for osteoporosis and bone regeneration. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have grown in popularity as a result of its success in curing ailments while causing minimal adverse effects. Natural Chinese medicine has already been utilized to cure various types of orthopedic illnesses, notably osteoporosis, bone fractures and rheumatism with great success. TCM is a discipline of conventional remedy that encompasses herbal medication, massage (tui na), acupuncture, food, and exercise (qigong) therapy. It is based on more than 2,500 years of Chinese healthcare profession. This article serves as a comprehensive review summarizing the osteoporosis, bone regeneration and the traditional Chinese medicines used since ancient times for the management of osteoporosis and bone regeneration.

Association between NF- κB Signal Pathway-Related Gene Polymorphisms and Response to Alendronate Treatment in Postmenopausal Chinese Women with Low Bone Mineral Density. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2461716. [PMID: 35368772 PMCID: PMC8970858 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2461716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by reduction of bone content. Bisphosphonates are first-line treatments for osteoporosis, but they have variable effectiveness. Genetic factors may explain these differences. The NF-κB signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of bone metabolism. We aimed to determine whether genetic variations in the NF-κB signaling pathway affect the effectiveness of alendronate in postmenopausal Chinese women with low bone mass. Methods We recruited 455 postmenopausal Han Chinese women with primary osteoporosis or osteopenia aged 48–90 yrs who had experienced no spontaneous menses for at least 1 yr. All participants had dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) bone mineral density (BMD) measurement at baseline and 1 yr after treatment. Treatment involved 1 yr administration of 70 mg oral alendronate weekly and 600 mg calcium and 125 IU of vitamin D daily. Thirteen tagSNPs in NF-κB1 (rs28362491, rs3774937, rs230521, rs230510, and rs4648068), RELA (rs7119750, rs11820062), and NLRC5 (rs289747, rs1566439, rs1684575, rs289726, rs289723, and rs41383) were chosen from the NCBI Locus Link and HapMap and genotyped individually. Genetic variation in these genes and the corresponding therapeutic response to alendronate treatment were analyzed. Results Among the 13 tagSNPs, rs289747 was significantly correlated with the BMD change rate at the femoral neck (P=0.048). This significance no longer existed after Bonferroni correction. We then performed principal component analysis (PCA) and found NLRC5 (rs289747 and rs1566439) were strongly correlated with alendronate efficacy in femoral phenotypes and were major components of BMD change values, particularly total hip and intertrochanteric phenotypes. Furthermore, the PLINK linear regression GLM model revealed that haplotype TT of RELA (rs7119750 and rs11820062) and ICCTA of NF-κB1 (rs28362491, rs3774937, rs230521, rs230510, and rs4648068) were associated with BMD of the total hip among each haplotype after 1 yr of treatment. Conclusion The NF-κB1, RELA, and NLRC5 genetic variations affect the therapeutic response of alendronate treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

LPS-inducible circAtp9b is highly expressed in osteoporosis and promotes the apoptosis of osteoblasts by reducing the formation of mature miR-17-92a. J Orthop Surg Res 2022; 17:193. [PMID: 35346278 PMCID: PMC8962610 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-022-03072-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Circular RNA circAtp9b is an enhancer of LPS-induced inflammation, which promotes osteoporosis (OS). This study explored the role of circAtp9b in OS. Methods RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression of circAtp9b and microRNA (miR)-17-92a (both mature and premature) in OS and healthy controls. The subcellular location of circAtp9b was assessed by nuclear fractionation assay. The direct interaction between circAtp9b and premature miR-17-92a was detected by RNA pull-down assay. The role of circAtp9b in regulating the maturation of miR-17-92a in osteoblasts was explored by overexpression assay and RT-qPCR. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by cell apoptosis assay. Results OS patients exhibited upregulation of circAtp9b and premature miR-17-92a, but downregulation of mature miR-17-92a. In osteoblasts, circAtp9b suppressed the maturation of miR-17-92a. LPS upregulated circAtp9b and premature miR-17-92a, and downregulated mature miR-17-92a in osteoblasts. CircAtp9b was detected in both nucleus and cytoplasm, and it directly interacted with premature miR-17-92a. Overexpression of circAtp9b reduced the effects of miR-17-92a on the apoptosis of osteoblasts induced by LPS. Conclusion CircAtp9b is LPS-inducible and upregulation of circAtp9b in OS promotes the apoptosis of osteoblasts by reducing the formation of mature miR-17-92a.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the associations between bone mineral density and long-term risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all-cause mortality in nationwide survey participants aged 18 and over. METHODS Using data from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III), the associations of bone mineral density (normal bone mass, osteopenia, and osteoporosis) with CVD, cancer, and all-cause mortality were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS A total of 11,909 adults aged 18 and over were enrolled in this study. Compared with the participants with normal bone mass, those with osteoporosis and osteopenia were more likely to be female, of non-Hispanic white ethnicity, and older. They were also more likely to have lower calcium and vitamin D intakes, a lower body mass index (BMI), lower educational attainment, and lower family incomes. Participants with osteoporosis and osteopenia also engaged in less physical activity and were more likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure, and a history of CVD. After adjusting for confounders, osteopenia and osteoporosis were significantly associated with all-cause mortality, with the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) being 1.37 (1.11, 1.68) and 1.06 (0.91, 1.25), respectively, compared with normal bone mass. Age (P for interaction = 0.001) and BMI (P for interaction = 0.002) were found to modify the association between bone mineral density and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS In a nationally representative cohort, osteoporosis was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and this association was stronger in participants who were older and had a lower BMI.

Abstract
The severity of osteoporosis in humans manifests in its high incidence and by its complications that diminish quality of life. A societal consequence of osteoporosis is the substantial burden that it inflicts upon patients and their families. Several bone-modifying drugs have been prescribed to patients with osteoporosis. However, evidence for their anti-fracture efficacy remains inconclusive. To the contrary, long-term use of anti-osteoporotic drugs such as bisphosphonates and Denosumab, an RANKL inhibitor, have resulted in adverse events. We now present an alternative and adjuvant approach for treatment of osteoporosis. The data derive from in vivo studies in an ovariectomized rat model and from a randomized double blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study. Both studies involved treatment with Panaceo Micro Activation (PMA)-zeolite-clinoptilolite, a defined cation exchange clinoptilolite, which clearly improved all bone histomorphometric parameters examined from ovariectomized animals, indicative for increased bone formation. Moreover, intervention with PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite for one year proved safe in humans. Furthermore, patients treated with PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite showed an increase in bone mineral density, an elevated level of markers indicative of bone formation, a significant reduction in pain, and significantly improved quality of life compared with patients in the control (placebo) group. These encouraging positive effects of PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite on bone integrity and on osteoporosis warrant further evaluation of treatment with PMA-zeolite-clinoptilolite as a new alternative adjuvant therapy for osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis, the most prevalent bone disorder in humans, is a global public health issue and its relationship with menopause is well-established. The interaction between menopause and genes on osteoporosis risk is, however, yet to be fully elucidated. We assessed the association between menopause and osteoporosis in relation to the SOX6 rs297325 variant in Taiwanese women. METHODS There were 7,581 female participants, aged 30 to 70 years old. Information on SOX6 rs297325 and menopause were obtained from the Taiwan Biobank Database while that on osteoporosis was obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. RESULTS Menopause but not SOX6 rs297325 was significantly associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04-2.10). The interaction between menopause and rs297325 on osteoporosis was significant (P = 0.0216). After stratification by rs297325 genotypes, the risk of osteoporosis was significantly higher in menopausal women having the TT + CC genotype (OR = 2.02; 95% CI = 1.21-3.38). After stratification by menopausal status and rs297325 genotypes, the OR; 95% CI was 0.62; 0.38 to 0.99 in premenopausal women with the TC + CC genotype and 1.24; 0.82 to 1.88 in menopausal women with the TC + CC genotype. CONCLUSION SOX6 rs297325 was not significantly associated with osteoporosis but might have modulated the association between menopause and osteoporosis. The risk of osteoporosis was higher in menopausal women with the TC + CC genotype but lower in premenopausal women with the TC + CC genotype.

Abstract
Serum biomarkers of osteoarticular diseases have been in the limelight of current clinical research trends. Laboratory validation of defined and candidate biomarkers for both osteoarthritis and osteoporosis is of key importance for future decisional algorithms in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of these diseases. The current guidelines recommend the use of collagen degradation remnants, eg, CTX-I and CTX-II, in the complementary diagnosis of both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Besides the collagen degradation markers, enzymes that regulate bone and articular metabolism are useful in the clinical evaluation of osteoarticular pathologies. Along these, several other recommended and new nominee molecules have been recently studied. Wnts and Wnt-related molecules have a cardinal role in the bone-joint homeostasis, making them a promising target not only for pharmaceutical modulation, but also to be considered as soluble biomarkers. Sclerostin and dickkopf, two inhibitor molecules of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, might have a dual role in the assessment of the clinical manifestations of the osteoarticular unit. In osteoarthritis, besides fragments of collagen type II many pathway-related molecules have been studied and proposed for biomarker validation. The most serious limitation is that a significant proportion of studies lack statistical power due to the reduced number of cases enrolled. Serum biomarkers of bone and joint turnover markers represent an encouraging possibility for the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoarticular diseases, although further studies and laboratory validations should be carried out as to solely rely on them.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone disease with a series of clinical symptoms. The use of screening biomarkers in OP management is therefore of clinical significance, especially in the era of precision medicine and intelligent healthcare. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs with the potential to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Accumulating evidence indicates that miRNAs may serve as biomarkers for OP prediction and prevention. However, few studies have emphasized the role of miRNAs in systems-level pathogenesis during OP development. In this article, literature-reported OP miRNAs were manually collected and analyzed based on a systems biology paradigm. Functional enrichment studies were performed to decode the underlying mechanisms of miRNAs in OP etiology and therapeutics in three-dimensional space, i.e., integrated miRNA–gene–pathway analysis. In particular, interactions between miRNAs and three well-known OP pathways, i.e., estrogen–endocrine, WNT/β-catenin signaling, and RANKL/RANK/OPG, were systematically investigated, and the effects of non-genetic factors on personalized OP prevention and therapy were discussed. This article is a comprehensive review of OP miRNAs, and bridges the gap between an understanding of OP pathogenesis and clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are important in the metabolic processes that affect bone mineral density (BMD). However, the effect of VDR BsmI polymorphism on BMD in pediatric patients is still unclear. METHODS Eligible studies were identified from the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Chinese CNKI and Wanfang databases before October 1, 2016. Data were extracted from the eligible studies, and associations between VDR BsmI polymorphism and BMD in pediatric patients were estimated with weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analysis of ethnicity and sensitivity analyses were used to identify sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A significant difference was observed between VDR BsmI polymorphism and pediatric BMD levels of the lumbar spine (LS) in the corecessive model (bb vs BB + Bb: WMD = -0.23, 95% CI [-0.35, -0.11], P < 0.01). No significant relationship was found in the dominant, recessive, or codominant models for LS BMD (BB vs Bb: WMD = -0.56, 95% CI [-1.58, 0.46], P = 0.29; BB vs bb: WMD = -0.54, 95% CI [-1.49, 0.41], P = 0.27; and BB vs Bb + bb: WMD = -0.45, 95% CI [-1.71, 0.26], P = 0.22). In addition, we found no remarkable association between the BsmI polymorphism and BMD levels of the femoral neck (FN) in children (BB vs Bb: WMD = -1.08, 95% CI [-3.13, 0.96], P = 0.30; BB vs bb: WMD = 0.98, 95% CI [-0.89, 2.85], P = 0.31; BB vs Bb + bb: WMD = -0.061, 95% CI [-0.30, 0.17], P = 0.61; and bb vs BB + Bb: WMD = 0.82, 95% CI [-0.59, 2.32], P = 0.25). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis found that the VDR BsmI genetic polymorphism was correlated with LS BMD level in pediatric patients: compared with those with the B allele, children with the bb genotype were less likely to have lower BMD levels. No significant difference was identified in the pediatric FN BMD levels.
