Feng LL, Lu K, Li C, Xu MZ, Ye YW, Yin Y, Shan HQ. Association of apolipoprotein A1 levels with lumbar bone mineral density and β-CTX in osteoporotic fracture individuals: a cross-sectional investigation. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1415739. [PMID: 39144661 PMCID: PMC11322117 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1415739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The relationship between the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and bone mineral density (BMD) is controversial. Furthermore, the specific role of apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), a primary HDL component, in regulating BMD remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the correlation between APOA1 levels and lumbar BMD in patients with osteoporotic fracture (OPF) for novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies against osteoporosis. Methods This study included 587 OPF patients enrolled at the Kunshan Hospital, Affiliated with Jiangsu University between January 2017 and July 2022. The patient's serum APOA1 levels were determined, followed by the assessment of lumbar BMD and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) as outcome variables. The association of APOA1 levels with lumbar BMD and β-CTX was assessed via Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and spline smoothing plot analyses. A generalized additive model (GAM) helped ascertain non-linear correlations. Moreover, a subgroup analysis was also conducted to validate the result's stability. Results It was observed that APOA1 levels were positively correlated with lumbar BMD (β = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.11, p = 0.0045), indicating that increased APOA1 levels were linked with enhanced lumbar BMD. Furthermore, APOA1 levels were negatively related to β-CTX (β = -0.19, 95% CI: -0.29 to -0.09, p = 0.0003), suggesting APOA1 might reduce osteolysis. In addition, these findings were robustly supported by subgroup and threshold effect analyses. Conclusion This study indicated that increased APOA1 levels were correlated with enhanced lumbar BMD and decreased osteolysis in OPF patients. Therefore, APOA1 may inhibit osteoclast activity to prevent further deterioration in osteoporotic patients. However, further research I warranted to validate these conclusions and elucidate the underlying physiologies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common bone metabolic disease that causes a heavy social burden and seriously threatens life. Improving osteogenic capacity is necessary to correct bone mass loss in the treatment of osteoporosis. Osteoblasts are derived from the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, a process that opposes adipogenic differentiation. The peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ and Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathways mediate the mutual regulation of osteogenesis and adipogenesis. Lipid substances play an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. The content and proportion of lipids modulate the activity of immunocytes, mainly macrophages, and the secretion of inflammatory factors, such as IL‑1, IL‑6 and TNF‑α. These inflammatory effectors increase the activity and promote the differentiation of osteoclasts, which leads to bone imbalance and stronger bone resorption. Obesity also decreases the activity of antioxidases and leads to oxidative stress, thereby inhibiting osteogenesis. The present review starts by examining the bidirectional differentiation of BM‑MSCs, describes in detail the mechanism by which lipids affect bone metabolism, and discusses the regulatory role of inflammation and oxidative stress in this process. The review concludes that a reasonable adjustment of the content and proportion of lipids, and the alleviation of inflammatory storms and oxidative damage induced by lipid imbalances, will improve bone mass and treat osteoporosis.

Abbasi AN, Qaiser SF, Hoda F, Memon A, Lakho A. Confounding association between plasma HDL-C levels and increased fracture risk: A correspondence. Health Sci Rep 2024; 7:e2187. [PMID: 38903661 PMCID: PMC11187732 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.2187] [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: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This article explores the association between fractures, particularly in the elderly, and elevated plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. The study challenges the conventional idea of HDL-C as "good cholesterol" by revealing its potential role as a risk factor for fractures. Factors contributing to fractures in the elderly, such as diminishing bone strength due to aging-related tissue breakdown, are discussed. Sedentary lifestyles, low bone mineral density (BMD), and habits like smoking and alcohol consumption compound fracture susceptibility. Materials and Methods The study delves into mechanisms linking elevated HDL-C to fractures, using data from the ASPREE-Fracturesub-study of the ASPREE trial involving Australian and American participants aged 65 and above. Results The study showed that over a 4-year period, elevated HDL-C levels in healthy older people were linked to a 14% higher fracture risk. This revelation expands the understanding of fracture risk factors beyond the established norms. Conclusion The article emphasizes the need to reconsider HDL-C's traditional role as an indicator of cardiovascular health, particularly in light of medications like Statins and Anacetrapib that raise HDL-C levels. It calls for further exploration into the relationship between HDL-C, fractures at varying sites, and different age groups. Practical implications involve incorporating fracture risk associated with high HDL-C into clinical considerations, alongside advocating lifestyle changes for optimal HDL-C levels. In summary, this study prompts a reevaluation of HDL-C's implications in clinical practice, demanding further investigation into the intricacies of this relationship.

Higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increased vertebral osteoporotic fracture, but reduced hip fracture in men based on the National Health Insurance Service-National Health Screening Cohort. Spine J 2024:S1529-9430(24)00238-9. [PMID: 38750822 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2024.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Lipids are currently known to play an important role in bone metabolism. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) on osteoporotic fractures beyond its beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING This was a retrospective, observational study that used data from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening cohort database. PATIENT SAMPLE This study included 318,237 participants who were 50 years or older and with HDL-C levels of 10 to 200 mg/dL. OUTCOMES MEASURES Physiologic measure-Diagnosis of osteoporotic fracture during the follow-up period. METHODS The study participants were categorized into four quartiles according to baseline HDL-C levels. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess osteoporotic fracture risk according to HDL-C levels. RESULTS After full adjustment and with the Q1 group as the reference group, estimates of hazard ratios (HRs; 95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for any osteoporotic fracture in men were 1.03 (0.94-1.12), 1.02 (0.93-1.11), and 1.07 (0.98-1.18) for the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups, respectively. After classifying osteoporotic fractures according to the body location, the fully adjusted HRs for vertebral and hip fractures in the men's Q4 groups were 1.16 (1.02-1.31) and 0.74 (0.57-0.96), respectively. In women, fully adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of the female Q4 group for any osteoporotic, vertebral, and hip fractures were 1.03 (0.95-1.11), 0.96 (0.86-1.07), and 1.06 (0.80-1.41), respectively. CONCLUSION In this study, HDL-C levels were positively associated with vertebral fractures in both men and women but inversely related to hip fractures in men. Therefore, monitoring the lipid profiles of patients with osteoporosis may be beneficial for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures.

Longitudinal changes in bone mineral density may be associated with long-term survival in patients with cirrhosis: A proof of concept of study. Indian J Gastroenterol 2024:10.1007/s12664-023-01504-y. [PMID: 38619809 DOI: 10.1007/s12664-023-01504-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of longitudinal changes in different body components measured via body composition analysis (BCA) on liver-related outcomes in patients with cirrhosis is poorly understood. We evaluated the prognostic relevance of longitudinal changes in body composition over one year in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS This was a follow-up study of a randomized controlled trial evaluating changes in bone density measured via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) upon vitamin D supplementation. Patients with available anthropometric indices, fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), bone-density at lumbar spine (LD) and left femur-neck (FD) (assessed by T score) at two time points one year apart were assessed for outcomes. The prognostic relevance of change in parameters such as ΔFM, ΔFFM, ΔLD and ΔFD over one year was assessed and compared with baseline model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score. RESULTS Patients with cirrhosis (n=112) (mean age 41.8±12 years, 58.5% males) were followed up for median duration of 5.7 years interquartile range [IQR 3.5-5.7], with five-year survival rate of 77%. On serial BCA, ΔLD (p=0.029) and ΔFD (p=0.003) emerged as significant predictors of survival, whereas ΔFM (p=0.479), ΔFFM (p=0.245) and ΔBMI (p=0.949) were not. The area under curve of ΔLD and MELD score for predicting survival was 0.636 (0.5-0.773) and 0.664 (0.555-0.773), respectively. ΔFD<0.1 over one year had sensitivity and specificity of 70.4% and 56.5% to predict poor survival. The combination of ΔFD, MELD and ascites predicted five-year survival with an optimism-corrected c-statistic of 0.785. CONCLUSION Among body composition parameters, changes in bone mineral density correlate best with survival and have prognostic relevance similar to that of ascites and MELD score.

Abstract
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and bone mineral density (BMD) have shown a controversial link in some studies. This research aims to study their association in males over 50 and postmenopausal females using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Postmenopausal females and males over 50 were included in the study. MetS was defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines. BMD values were measured at the thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis as the primary outcome. Weighted multivariate general linear models have been employed to explore the status of BMD in patients with MetS. Additionally, interaction tests and subgroup analyses were conducted. Utilizing the NHANES database from 2003 to 2006 and 2011-2018, we included 1924 participants, with 1029 males and 895 females. In postmenopausal women, after adjusting for covariates, we found a positive correlation between MetS and pelvic (β: 0.030 [95%CI 0.003, 0.06]) and thoracic (β: 0.030 [95%CI 0.01, 0.06]) BMD, though not for lumbar spine BMD (β: 0.020 [95%CI - 0.01, 0.05]). In males over 50 years old, MetS was positively correlated with BMD in both Model 1 (without adjusting for covariates) and Model 2 (considering age and ethnicity). Specifically, Model 2 revealed a positive correlation between MetS and BMD at the pelvis (β: 0.046 [95%CI 0.02, 0.07]), thoracic spine (β: 0.047 [95%CI 0.02, 0.07]), and lumbar spine (β: 0.040 [95%CI 0.02, 0.06]). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the relationship between MetS and BMD remained consistent in all strata, underscoring the stability of the findings. In postmenopausal women, after adjusting for all covariates, a significant positive correlation was observed between MetS and BMD in the pelvis and thoracic spine, whereas this correlation was not significant for lumbar spine BMD. Conversely, in males, positive correlations between MetS and BMD at the lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and pelvis were identified in Model 2, which adjusted for age and ethnicity; however, these correlations disappeared after fully adjusting for all covariates. These findings highlight the potential moderating role of gender in the impact of MetS on BMD.

Abstract
Understanding vertebral bone development is essential to prevent skeletal malformations in farmed fish related to genetic and environmental factors. This is an important issue in Solea senegalensis, with special impact of spinal anomalies in postlarval and juvenile stages. Vertebral bone transcriptomics in farmed fish mainly comes from coding genes, and barely on miRNA expression. Here, we used RNA-seq of spinal samples to obtain the first comprehensive coding and miRNA transcriptomic repertoire for postlarval and juvenile vertebral bone, covering different vertebral phenotypes and egg-incubation temperatures related to skeleton health in S. senegalensis. Coding genes, miRNA and pathways regulating bone development and growth were identified. Differential transcriptomic profiles and suggestive mRNA-miRNA interactions were found between postlarvae and juveniles. Bone-related genes and functions were associated with the extracellular matrix, development and regulatory processes, calcium binding, retinol and lipid metabolism or response to stimulus, including those revealed by the miRNA targets related to signaling, cellular and metabolic processes, growth, cell proliferation and biological adhesion. Pathway enrichment associated with fish skeleton were identified when comparing postlarvae and juveniles: growth and bone development functions in postlarvae, while actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion and proteasome related to bone remodeling in juveniles. The transcriptome data disclosed candidate coding and miRNA gene markers related to bone cell processes, references for functional studies of the anosteocytic bone of S. senegalensis. This study establishes a broad transcriptomic foundation to study healthy and anomalous spines under early thermal conditions across life-stages in S. senegalensis, and for comparative analysis of skeleton homeostasis and pathology in fish and vertebrates.

Abstract
Objectives Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by reduced bone mass and impaired bone microstructure. Paeoniflorin (PF) is isolated from peony root with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and bone-protective effects. Up to now, the mechanism of anti-OP in PF has not been completely clarified. Methods The expression of MEDAG in osteoclasts, osteoblasts and adipocytes was detected by RT-qPCR. The OVX mouse model was constructed, and oral administration of PF was performed for 15 weeks. Bone microstructure was detected by H&E staining and a micro-CT system, and expression of signaling proteins examined by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. ELISA and biochemical kits were used to quantify serum metabolite levels. Key findings MEDAG were upregulated in osteoclasts and adipocytes, and downregulated in osteoblasts. PF administration effectively alleviated OVX-induced bone loss, and histological changes in femur tissues. Moreover, PF significantly reduced serum TRAP, CTX-1, P1NP, BALP, and LDL-C levels and increased HDL-C. In addition, PF inhibited the expression of MEDAG, cathepsin K, NFATc1, PPARγ, and C/EBPα and increased p-AMPKα, OPG and Runx2. Conclusions MEDAG is a potential target for bone diseases, and PF might attenuate OVX-induced osteoporosis via MEDAG/AMPK/PPARγ signaling pathway.

Abstract
The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio) was proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis. Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis share common risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to assess the relationship between monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio and osteoporosis. Participants aged ≥50 years with complete bone mineral density (BMD), monocyte, and HDL-C examination data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 were included. Descriptive analysis was performed separately according to males and females. Weight linear regression and weight logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the association between the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio and BMD and osteopenia and osteoporosis and vertebral fracture. A total of 1804 participants were included. Among the participants with osteopenia, 398 (48.31%) were males and 466 (51.91%) were females. Among those with osteoporosis, 38 (2.77%) were males and 95 (9.50%) were females. In females, monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was negatively associated with femoral neck BMD (regression coefficient (β) = -0.18; 95% confidence interval (CI): (-0.29, -0.07)) and high monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was associated with higher odds of osteopenia (odds ratio (OR) = 1.22; 95% CI: (1.01, 1.47)) and osteoporosis (OR = 1.68; 95% CI: (1.13, 2.49)) after adjusting for confounders. In males, only monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio >0.35 was observed to be associated with higher odds of osteoporosis (OR = 1.96; 95% CI: (1.02, 3.79)). Stratified analyses showed that similar results were also found in different populations. This study showed that the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was negatively associated with BMD and the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis in females. The monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio may be a new marker of osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Ganzetti GS, Parolini C. Microarray analysis identifies human apoA-I Milano and apoA-II as determinants of the liver gene expression related to lipid and energy metabolism. Exp Cell Res 2023; 433:113826. [PMID: 37858836 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2023.113826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
The phenotype of individuals carrying the apolipoprotein A-IMilano (apoA-IM), the mutant form of human apoA-I (apoA-I), is characterized by very low concentrations of HDL and apoA-I, and hypertriglyceridemia. Paradoxically, these subjects are not found to be at increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease compared to controls. Besides, various in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that apoA-IM possesses greater anti-atherosclerotic activity compared to apoA-I. The molecular mechanisms explaining the apoA-IM carrier's phenotype and the apoA-IM higher efficacy are still not fully elucidated. To investigate such mechanisms, we crossed previously generated apoA-I (A-I k-in) or apoA-IM knock-in mice (A-IM k-in) with transgenic mice expressing human apoA-II but lacking murine apoA-I (hA-II) to generate hA-II/A-I k-in, and hA-II/A-IM k-in, respectively. These genetically modified mice completely reproduced the apoA-IM carrier's phenotype, including hypoalphalipoproteinemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Furthermore, by using the microarray methodology, we investigated the intrinsic differences in hepatic gene expression among these k-in mouse lines. The expression of 871, 1,018, 1129 and 764 genes was significantly altered between 1) hA-II/A-I and hA-II/A-IM k-in; 2) A-IM and hA-II/A-IM k-in; 3) A-I and A-IM; 4) A-I and hA-II/A-I k-in liver samples, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis highlighted that the hepatic expression of two genes, Elovl6 and Gatm, related to fatty acid/lipid and energy metabolism, respectively, is influenced by the presence of the apoA-IM natural variant and/or apoA-II.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the association between sleep duration and osteoporosis. In addition, sleep-related gene methylation was also detected in this study and we explored its relationship with osteoporosis. The epidemiological investigation section of this study was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional study. We gathered 148 postmenopausal women from two communities and used questionnaires to collect data of sleep duration and other sleep patterns. Biochemical variables were tested, and bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In addition, sleep-related gene (PER2 and PER3) methylation was tested, and the association with osteoporosis was further studied. Twenty-nine of the 148 participants (aged from 65 to 86 years) who suffered from osteoporosis were tested for osteopenia. A significant difference was observed in the association between sleep duration and osteoporosis; the p-value was 0.013. In addition, in our study, we found that short sleep duration (<7 hours) may increase the risk of osteoporosis compared with longer sleep duration. Moreover, sleep-related genes such as PER2 and PER3 and their CpG island methylation were tested, and there was no significant difference between PER2 and PER3 CpG island methylation and osteoporosis. Short sleep duration may increase the risk of osteoporosis. However, the association between sleep-related gene methylation and osteoporosis was not found.

Abstract
Previous findings on the association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fracture have yielded inconsistent results and it is unclear if the association varies with age and sex. We sought to evaluate the prospective association between HDL-C levels and fracture risk and assess if the association is modified by age and sex. Circulating HDL-C levels were measured at baseline in a population-based sample of 2,448 men aged 42-61 years. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. Incident fractures (n = 134) occurred during a median follow-up of 25.7 years. In analysis adjusted for several risk factors, the HR (95% CI) for fractures was 1.00 (0.85-1.20) per 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in HDL-C levels. Comparing the extreme tertiles of HDL-C levels, the corresponding adjusted HR (95% CI) was 0.94 (0.62-1.45). In a meta-analysis of eight cohort studies (including the current study) comprising 74,378 participants and 4,621 fracture cases, the fully-adjusted risk estimate (95% CI) for fracture was 1.03 (0.96-1.10) per 1SD increase in HDL-C levels and 1.05 (0.92-1.20) comparing extreme tertiles of HDL-C. The pooled risk estimate (95% CIs) for fracture per 1SD increase were 1.09 (1.01-1.17) and 0.98 (0.93-1.04) for age groups ≥ 60 and < 60 years, respectively, and the corresponding risks comparing the extreme tertiles of HDL-C levels were 1.21 (1.09-1.33) and 0.95 (0.85-1.07) (p-value for interaction < 0.05). Age may modify the association between HDL-C levels and fracture risk - an increased fracture risk associated with increased HDL-C levels is only evident in older age (≥ 60 years).

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological cancer. It is preceded by monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS)-an asymptomatic phase. It has been demonstrated that early detection increases the 5-year survival rate. However, blood-based biomarkers that enable early disease detection are lacking. Metabolomic and lipoprotein subfraction variable profiling is gaining traction to expand our understanding of disease states and, more specifically, for identifying diagnostic markers in patients with hematological cancers. This study aims to enhance our understanding of multiple myeloma (MM) and identify candidate metabolites, allowing for a more effective preventative treatment. Serum was collected from 25 healthy controls, 20 patients with MGUS, and 30 patients with MM. 1H-NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy was utilized to evaluate serum samples. The metabolite concentrations were examined using multivariate, univariate, and pathway analysis. Metabolic profiles of the MGUS patients revealed lower levels of alanine, lysine, leucine but higher levels of formic acid when compared to controls. However, metabolic profiling of MM patients, compared to controls, exhibited decreased levels of total Apolipoprotein-A1, HDL-4 Apolipoprotein-A1, HDL-4 Apolipoprotein-A2, HDL Free Cholesterol, HDL-3 Cholesterol and HDL-4 Cholesterol. Lastly, metabolic comparison between MGUS to MM patients primarily indicated alterations in lipoproteins levels: Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, HDL Free Cholesterol, Total Apolipoprotein-A1, HDL Apolipoprotein-A1, HDL-4 Apolipoprotein-A1 and HDL-4 Phospholipids. This study provides novel insights into the serum metabolic and lipoprotein subfraction changes in patients as they progress from a healthy state to MGUS to MM, which may allow for earlier clinical detection and treatment.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased fracture risk. Our study aimed to explore differences in bone alterations between T2DM women and controls and to assess clinical predictors of bone impairment in T2DM. For this observational case control study, we recruited 126 T2DM female patients and 117 non-diabetic, age- and BMI-comparable women, who underwent clinical examination, routine biochemistry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans for bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) assessment-derived indexes. These were correlated to metabolic parameters, such as glycemic control and lipid profile, by bivariate analyses, and significant variables were entered in multivariate adjusted models to detect independent determinants of altered bone status in diabetes. The T2DM patients were less represented in the normal bone category compared with controls (5% vs. 12%; p = 0.04); T2DM was associated with low TBS (OR: 2.47, C.I. 95%: 1.19–5.16, p = 0.016) in a regression model adjusted for age, menopausal status and BMI. In women with T2DM, TBS directly correlated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (p = 0.029) and vitamin D (p = 0.017) levels. An inverse association was observed with menopausal status (p < 0.001), metabolic syndrome (p = 0.014), BMI (p = 0.005), and waist circumference (p < 0.001). In the multivariate regression analysis, lower HDL-c represented the main predictor of altered bone quality in T2DM, regardless of age, menopausal status, BMI, waist circumference, statin treatment, physical activity, and vitamin D (p = 0.029; R2 = 0.47), which likely underlies common pathways between metabolic disease and bone health in diabetes.

Abstract
Objective To explore the role of blood glucose, blood lipids, and androgen receptor gene (CAG)n genotype in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in Chinese Han men and to provide theoretical value for screening people susceptible to osteoporosis. Methods Patients who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from February 2021 to October 2021 were selected as research subjects to measure bone density by double-energy X-ray, osteoporosis patients as osteoporosis group (40 patients), and non-osteoporosis patients as the control group (40 patients). The STR method detected the repeat times of the androgen receptor gene (CAG)n in the two groups. The repeat times ≤22 were the SS genotype, and >22 were the LL genotype. Meanwhile, the patient's age, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, blood lipids, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase examined on day one after admission were collected, and the statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0. Results The results of the univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in age, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and glycosylated hemoglobin between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in average blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and genotype frequency (P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed significant differences in total cholesterol and genotype frequency between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Androgen receptor LL genotype and elevated total cholesterol may be the risk factors for osteoporosis in older men of Han nationality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are common diseases encountered globally, especially with advancing age. Osteoporosis occurs when there is a loss of bone mineral density leading to increased predisposition to fragility fracture. The conventional perception of osteoporosis is purely as a metabolic bone disease. However, there are mounting reports from recent studies that osteoporosis could be seen as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease just like other traditional risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes. This is a paradigm shift with regards to the outlook of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease have similar risk factors, including diabetes, smoking, excess alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, ageing and dyslipidaemia. This may partly explain the link between osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. In addition, both osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, which underlies most cardiovascular disease, are both characterized by low grade chronic inflammation. Moreover, the processes involved in the calcification of atheroma are similar to what is seen in bone remodeling. Both processes also involve similar regulators such as osteoprotegerin and related proteins such as osteonectin, osteopontin and type 1 collagen are found in bone matrix and atheromatous plaques. CONCLUSION There is emerging evidence that individuals with osteoporosis are also at an increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke even after controlling for other factors. The traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease also predispose people to developing osteoporosis, suggesting that the same mechanism may be causing the two. Moreover, a number of anti-osteoporotic drugs have also been largely linked with cardiovascular disease. This calls for a change in the view of osteoporosis as a metabolic disease but as a cardio-metabolic disorder thereby emphasizing the need for intensified preventive strategies for the disease.

Abstract
Importance Increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have been associated with osteoporosis. Preclinical studies have reported that HDL-C reduces bone mineral density by reducing osteoblast number and function. However, the clinical significance of these findings is unclear. Objective To determine whether higher HDL-C levels are predictive of an increased fracture risk in healthy older adults. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study is a post hoc analysis of data from the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial and the ASPREE-Fracture substudy. ASPREE was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled primary prevention trial of aspirin that recruited participants between 2010 and 2014. These comprised community-based older adults (16 703 Australians aged ≥70 years, 2411 US participants ≥65 years) without evident cardiovascular disease, dementia, physical disability, and life-limiting chronic illness. The ASPREE-Fracture substudy collected data on fractures reported postrandomization from Australian participants. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. Data analysis for this study was performed from April to August 2022. Exposure Plasma HDL-C. Main Outcomes and Measures Fractures included were confirmed by medical imaging and included both traumatic and minimal trauma fractures. Fractures were adjudicated by an expert review panel. Results Of the 16 262 participants who had a plasma HDL-C measurement at baseline (8945 female participants [55%] and 7319 male [45%]), 1659 experienced at least 1 fracture over a median (IQR) of 4.0 years (0.02-7.0 years). In a fully adjusted model, each 1-SD increment in HDL-C level was associated with a 14% higher risk of fractures (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.08-1.20). The results remained similar when these analyses were stratified by sex. Sensitivity and stratified analyses demonstrated that these associations persisted when the analyses were repeated to include only (1) minimal trauma fractures, (2) participants not taking osteoporosis medications, (3) participants who were never smokers and reported that they did not drink alcohol, and (4) participants who walked outside for less than 30 minutes per day and reported no participation in moderate/vigorous physical activity and to examine only (5) statin use. No association was observed between non-HDL-C levels and fractures. Conclusions and Relevance This study suggests that higher levels of HDL-C are associated with an increased fracture risk. This association was independent of common risk factors for fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulated evidence indicates that cholesterol is offensive to bone metabolism. Therefore, we examined the real-world study among total cholesterol and total bone mineral density (BMD). We investigated the relationship between total cholesterol and total BMD among 10,039 US participants aged 20-59 years old over the period 2011-2018 from the NHANES. METHODS To analyze the relationship among total cholesterol and total BMD, multivariate linear regression models were used. Fitted smoothing curves, generalized additive models, and threshold effect analysis were also conducted. RESULTS After adjusting for additional covariates, weighted multivariable linear regression models indicated total cholesterol concentration levels exhibited a negative relationship with total BMD, particularly among participants aged 20-29 years. Concerning subgroup analysis, stratified by gender, race/ethnicity and age group, the negative correlation of total cholesterol with total BMD dwelled in both female and male as well as in whites and other races (including Hispanic and Multi-Racial), but not in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican American. In other races, this relationship presented a nonlinear association (inflection point: 6.7 mmol/L) with a U-shaped curve. Among participants aged 40 to 49 years, this relationship also followed a nonlinear association (inflection point: 5.84 mmol/L), indicating a saturation effect. Moreover, the three types of diabetes status were found to have negative, U-shaped, and positive relationships. In participants with borderline diabetes status, the relationship of total cholesterol with total BMD was a U-shaped curve (inflection point: 4.65 mmol/L). CONCLUSIONS For US young adults (20-29 years old), our study revealed a negative relationship between total cholesterol and total BMD. This association followed a U-shaped curve (inflection point: 4.65 mmol/L) in borderline diabetes status participants, a saturation curve (inflection point: 5.84 mmol/L) in participants aged 40-49 years and a nonlinear curve (inflection point: 6.7 mmol/L) in other races (including Hispanic and Multi-Racial). Therefore, keeping total cholesterol concentration at a reasonable level for young adults and diabetic population might be an approach to prevent osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common complication of many types of chronic liver diseases (CLDs), such as cholestatic liver disease, viral hepatitis, and alcoholic liver disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent metabolic liver disease, affecting almost one third of adults around the world, and is emerging as the dominant cause of CLDs. Liver serves as a hub for nutrient and energy metabolism in the body, and its crosstalk with other tissues, such as adipose tissue, heart, and brain, has been well recognized. However, much less is known about the crosstalk that occurs between the liver and bone. Moreover, the mechanisms by which CLDs increase the risk for osteoporosis remain unclear. This review summarizes the latest research on the liver-bone axis and discusses the relationship between NAFLD and osteoporosis. We cover key signaling molecules secreted by liver, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), fetuin-A, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and osteopontin (OPN), and their relevance to the homeostasis of bone metabolism. Finally, we consider the disordered liver metabolism that occurs in patients with NAFLD and how this disrupts signaling to the bone, thereby perturbing the balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts and leading to osteoporosis or hepatic osteodystrophy (HOD).

Osteoblast Demineralization Induced by Oxidized High-Density Lipoprotein via the Inflammatory Pathway Is Suppressed by Adiponectin. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314616. [PMID: 36498945 PMCID: PMC9740717 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Low mineralization activity by human osteoblast cells (HOBs) indicates abnormal bone remodeling that potentially leads to osteoporosis. Oxidation, the most prominent form of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) modification, is suggested to affect bone mineralization through the inflammatory pathway. Adiponectin, which possesses anti-inflammatory activity, is postulated to have the ability to suppress the detrimental effects of oxidized HDL (oxHDL). This study aimed to investigate the effects of HDL before and after oxidation on markers of mineralization and inflammation. The protective effects of adiponectin on demineralization and inflammation induced by oxHDL were also investigated. OxHDL at 100 µg/mL protein had the highest inhibitory effect on mineralization, followed by lower calcium incorporation. OxHDL also had significantly lower expression of a mineralization marker (COL1A2) and higher expression of inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, and RELA proto-oncogene, NF-κβ (p65)) compared to the unstimulated control group. These findings suggest that oxHDL reduces the mineralization activity of HOBs by increasing the expression of inflammatory markers. Interestingly, co-incubation of adiponectin and oxHDL in HOBs resulted in higher expression of mineralization markers (ALPL, COL1A2, BGLAP, and RUNX2) and significantly reduced all targeted inflammatory markers compared to the oxHDL groups. On the contrary, HDL increased the expression of mineralization markers (COL1A2 and STAT-3) and exhibited lower expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), proving the protective effect of HDL beyond the reverse cholesterol transport activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Osteoporosis is a critical issue affecting postmenopausal women and the aging population. A novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score has been proposed as a method to identify poor bone quality and predict fragility fractures. The diagnostic accuracy of this tool is not well understood. PURPOSE To examine the ability of VBQ to predict osteoporosis and osteopenia, its correlation with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and the influence of patient-specific factors upon the score. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PATIENT SAMPLE Patients over the age of 18 with a DEXA scan and noncontrast, T1-weighted MRI of the lumbar spine completed within a 2-year period. OUTCOME MEASURES Area-under-curve (AUC) values of the VBQ score predicting osteopenia and osteoporosis when controlling for patient characteristics. METHODS Patients with noncontrast, T1-weighted MRIs of the lumbar spine and DEXA scans completed within a 2-year time frame were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and medical risk factors for osteoporosis were identified and compared. VBQ scores were measured by two trained researchers and interrater reliability was calculated. Patients were separated into three groups defined by lowest DEXA T-score: Healthy Bone, Osteopenia, and Osteoporosis. analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, chi-square, t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and multivariate linear regression were performed to examine the relationship between patient characteristics, DEXA t-scores, and VBQ scores. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and AUC values were generated for the prediction of osteopenia and osteoporosis. RESULTS A total of 156 patients were included for analysis. Sufficient inter-rater reliability was determined for VBQ measures (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.81). Most patients were female (83%), postmenopausal (81%), and had hyperlipidemia (64%). Patients with hyperlipidemia and healthy bone density by DEXA had elevated baseline VBQ scores (p<.001) reflective of values seen in osteopenia and osteoporosis. The AUC of the VBQ score predicting osteopenia and osteoporosis changed to be more concordant with DEXA results after controlling for hyperlipidemia (AUC=0.72, 0.70 vs. AUC=0.88, 0.89; p<.001). Sub-analysis of hyperlipidemia subtypes revealed that elevated high-density lipoprotein is associated with elevated VBQ scores. CONCLUSIONS Hyperlipidemia increased the MRI-based VBQ score in our healthy bone population. The high signal intensities resembled values seen in osteopenia and osteoporosis, suggesting that physiologic variables which impact bone composition may influence the VBQ score. Specifically, elevated high-density lipoprotein may contribute to this. The microarchitectural changes and the clinical implications of these factors need further exploration.

Engineered rHDL Nanoparticles as a Suitable Platform for Theranostic Applications. Molecules 2022; 27:7046. [PMID: 36296638 PMCID: PMC9610567 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27207046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Reconstituted high-density lipoproteins (rHDLs) can transport and specifically release drugs and imaging agents, mediated by the Scavenger Receptor Type B1 (SR-B1) present in a wide variety of tumor cells, providing convenient platforms for developing theranostic systems. Usually, phospholipids or Apo-A1 lipoproteins on the particle surfaces are the motifs used to conjugate molecules for the multifunctional purposes of the rHDL nanoparticles. Cholesterol has been less addressed as a region to bind molecules or functional groups to the rHDL surface. To maximize the efficacy and improve the radiolabeling of rHDL theranostic systems, we synthesized compounds with bifunctional agents covalently linked to cholesterol. This strategy means that the radionuclide was bound to the surface, while the therapeutic agent was encapsulated in the lipophilic core. In this research, HYNIC-S-(CH2)3-S-Cholesterol and DOTA-benzene-p-SC-NH-(CH2)2-NH-Cholesterol derivatives were synthesized to prepare nanoparticles (NPs) of HYNIC-rHDL and DOTA-rHDL, which can subsequently be linked to radionuclides for SPECT/PET imaging or targeted radiotherapy. HYNIC is used to complexing 99mTc and DOTA for labeling molecules with 111, 113mIn, 67, 68Ga, 177Lu, 161Tb, 225Ac, and 64Cu, among others. In vitro studies showed that the NPs of HYNIC-rHDL and DOTA-rHDL maintain specific recognition by SR-B1 and the ability to internalize and release, in the cytosol of cancer cells, the molecules carried in their core. The biodistribution in mice showed a similar behavior between rHDL (without surface modification) and HYNIC-rHDL, while DOTA-rHDL exhibited a different biodistribution pattern due to the significant reduction in the lipophilicity of the modified cholesterol molecule. Both systems demonstrated characteristics for the development of suitable theranostic platforms for personalized cancer treatment.

Abstract
Aim. To study the associations of risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) and osteoporotic fractures (OFs) in a population sampling over 50 years. Materials and Methods. The data of a cross-sectional population-based study obtained in the Russian part of the international project HAPIEE (Novosibirsk) are analyzed. The present analysis comprised 7363 men and women aged 50–69 years old. We have assessed the frequency of OFs for the last 12 months and risk factors of CNCDs. Cross-sectional associations between OF history and potential determinants were analyzed using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression. Results. The frequency of OFs in the last 12 months was 3.6% (3.2% in men and 4.0% in women, p = 0.074). In men, the probability of OFs increased with an elevation of blood pressure (BP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ethanol consumption, and reduced with increased body mass index (BMI). In women, the probability of a fracture increased with current smoking and an increased duration of post-menopause and reduced with an increase in triglycerides (TG) levels, independently of other factors. Conclusions. A syndemia of risk factors, both generally recognized for OFs (BMI, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, postmenopausal duration) and new factors associated with CNCDs (BP, HDL, TG), have been defined.

Abstract
Purpose Osteoporosis is a complex bone disease influenced by numerous factors. Previous studies have found that some metabolites are related to bone mineral density (BMD). However, the associations between metabolites and BMD under the influence of genes and lifestyle have not been fully investigated. Methods We analyzed the effect of metabolites on BMD under the synergistic effect of genes and lifestyle, using the data of 797 participants aged 55–65 years from the Taizhou Imaging Study. The cumulative sum method was used to calculate the polygenic risk score of SNPs, and the healthful plant-based diet index was used to summarize food intake. The effect of metabolites on BMD changes under the influence of genes and lifestyle was analyzed through interaction analysis and mediation analysis. Results Nineteen metabolites were found significantly different in the osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal BMD groups. We found two high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions were positively associated with osteopenia, and six very-low-density lipoprotein subfractions were negatively associated with osteopenia or osteoporosis, after adjusting for lifestyles and genetic factors. Tea drinking habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, and polygenic risk score changed BMD by affecting metabolites. Conclusion With the increased level of HDL subfractions, the risk of bone loss in the population will increase; the risk of bone loss decreases with the increased level of very-low-density lipoprotein subfractions. Genetic factors and lifestyles can modify the effects of metabolites on BMD. Our results show evidence for the precise prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is uncertain if lipids or lipoproteins are associated with osteoporotic fractures. In this study, incident hip fracture risk according to conventional lipid levels and lipoprotein levels and sizes was examined. METHODS We followed 5832 participants aged ≥65 years from the Cardiovascular Health Study for hip fracture for a mean of 13.5 (SD 5.7) years. Standard enzymatic methods were used to determine lipid levels (ie, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [HDL-c], low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [LDL-c], and triglycerides). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to measure lipoprotein fractions (ie, very-low-density lipoprotein-particle [VLDL-P], low-density lipoprotein-particle [LDL-P], high-density lipoprotein-particle [HDL-P]) in a subset of 1849 participants. RESULTS We documented 755 incident hip fractures among women (1.19 fractures per 100 participant years [95% confidence interval, 1.04, 1.35]) and 197 among men (0.67 fractures per 100 participant years [95% CI, 0.41, 1.10]) over an average follow-up. HDL-c and LDL-c levels had statistically significant nonlinear U-shaped relationships with hip fracture risk (HDL-c, P = .009; LDL-c, P = .02). Triglyceride levels were not significantly associated with hip fracture risk. In fully adjusted conjoint models, higher VLDL-P concentration (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 standard deviation [SD] increment 1.47 [1.13, 1.91] and size [HR per 1 SD increment 1.24 [1.05, 1.46]) and higher high-density lipoprotein particle size (HR per 1 SD increment 1.81 [1.25, 2.62]) were all associated with higher hip fracture risk. CONCLUSIONS Lipids and lipoproteins are associated with hip fracture risk in older adults. The associations are complex. Mechanistic studies are needed to understand these findings.

Abstract
Polyphenolic compounds have a variety of functions in plants including protecting them from a range of abiotic and biotic stresses such as pathogenic infections, ionising radiation and as signalling molecules. They are common constituents of human and animal diets, undergoing extensive metabolism by gut microbiota in many cases prior to entering circulation. They are linked to a range of positive health effects, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and disease-specific activities but the relationships between polyphenol bio-transformation products and their interactions in vivo are less well understood. Here we review the state of knowledge in this area, specifically what happens to dietary polyphenols after ingestion and how this is linked to health effects in humans and animals; paying particular attention to farm animals and pigs. We focus on the chemical transformation of polyphenols after ingestion, through microbial transformation, conjugation, absorption, entry into circulation and uptake by cells and tissues, focusing on recent findings in relation to bone. We review what is known about how these processes affect polyphenol bioactivity, highlighting gaps in knowledge. The implications of extending the use of polyphenols to treat specific pathogenic infections and other illnesses is explored.

Abstract
Beyond being aging-related diseases, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis share common pathogenetic pathways implicated in bone and vascular mineralization. However, the contributory role of dyslipidemia in this interplay is less documented. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide epidemiological evidence regarding the prevalence of bone disease (osteoporosis, fracture risk) in patients with dyslipidemias and to discuss potential common pathophysiological mechanisms linking osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. The effect of hypolipidemic therapy on bone metabolism is also discussed. Despite the high data heterogeneity and the variable quality of studies, dyslipidemia, mainly elevated total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, is associated with low bone mass and increased fracture risk. This effect may be mediated directly by the increased oxidative stress and systemic inflammation associated with dyslipidemia, leading to increased osteoclastic activity and reduced bone formation. Moreover, factors such as estrogen, vitamin D and K deficiency, and increased concentrations of parathyroid hormone, homocysteine and lipid oxidation products, can also contribute. Regarding the effect of hypolipidemic medications on bone metabolism, statins may slightly increase BMD and reduce fracture risk, although the evidence is not robust, as it is for omega-3 fatty acids. No evidence exists for the effects of ezetimibe, fibrates, and niacin. In any case, more prospective studies are needed further to elucidate the association between lipids and bone strength.

Abstract
Background: Green tea, obtained from the plant Camellis sinensis, is one of the oldest drinks in the world and contains numerous bioactive compounds. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of green tea in preventing obesity and cardiovascular diseases that may be related to the reduction of lipid levels. Aim: This study aimed to evidence, through a systematic review, the therapeutic potential of green tea on the lipid profile in preclinical studies in obese animals and clinical studies in obese individuals. Methods: This systematic review follows the recommendations of the preferred report items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The electronic databases, PubMed (Medline), Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science were consulted. Articles from January 2009 to December 2019 were selected. Results: This search resulted in twenty-nine articles were included cirtically reviewed. In experimental studies, green tea administration has been shown to reduce total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in animals exposed to obesity-inducing diet. In humans' studies green tea was not shown to be effective for obese lipid control. Because supplementation with green tea extract reduced total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein for three months at a specific dose. Conclusion: Therefore, green tea appears to act as a protective agent for dyslipidemia in obesity-induced animals. In human studies, green tea has not been shown to be effective in controlling obese lipids.

Association between Bone Mineral Density and Metabolic Syndrome among Reproductive, Menopausal Transition, and Postmenopausal Women. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10214819. [PMID: 34768336 PMCID: PMC8584545 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10214819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The menopausal transition stage brings physiological changes associated with the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), which can affect bone mineral density (BMD), and may be more evident in the postmenopausal stage. The aim of this study was assessing the association between low BMD and MetS and its components among reproductive/menopausal transition and postmenopausal women in the northeast region of Mexico. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out (2015-2016) in 40-60-year-old women (n = 376) who were residents in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, in Nuevo Leon State, Mexico. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) evaluation of BMD of two anatomical sites (lumbar spine and dual femur), and a biochemical analysis were obtained. The prevalence of MetS was 57.2%. In participants without MetS, the prevalence of osteopenia was 27.3% in the lumbar spine and 18.6% in the dual femur, while in participants with MetS, the prevalence of osteopenia was 35.8% in the lumbar spine and 14.4% in the dual femur. Osteoporosis in participants without MetS was present in 6.8% in the lumbar spine and in 1.8% in the dual femur, while in women with MetS, its prevalence was 4.7% in the lumbar spine and 0.5% in the dual femur. An association between low BMD at the lumbar spine and dual femur and components of MetS diseases was identified in Mexican women as follows: waist circumference ≥ 88 cm showed an increase risk for low BMD at femoral site in both reproductive/menopausal transition (OR 7.638; 95% CI: 1.607-36.298; p = 0.011) and postmenopausal women (OR 2.600; 95% CI: 1.023-6.609; p = 0.045); HDL < 50 mg/dL was associated with low BMD in both the femur (OR 3.639; 95% CI: 1.039-12.743; p = 0.043) and lumbar spine (OR 2.654; 95% CI: 1.092-6.447; p = 0.031); hypertension in postmenopausal women increased the risk for low BMD in the femur (OR 2.634; 95% CI: 1.150-6.035; p = 0.022). In conclusion, we found that components of the MetS were associated with low BMD, thus indicating that MetS increases the risk for developing osteopenia or osteoporosis. Furthermore, age was found to be an independent risk factor for low BMD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features of different degrees of extraglomerular renal vascular lesions (RVLs) in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated renal vasculitis and explore their clinical determinants. This is a retrospective study of 186 patients with ANCA-associated renal vasculitis diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to April 2019. The patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into non-renal RVLs, mild RVLs, moderate RVLs, and severe RVLs. It was found that there were significant differences in serum creatinine (SCR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), systolic blood pressure (SBP), the prevalence rate of hypertension, the proportion of normal glomeruli, and the proportion of sclerotic glomeruli and interstitial fibrosis integral. SCR and ESR are independent risk factors for RVLs. The participants were followed up for 1 year, and the progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and death was defined as endpoint events. We found that the survival rate of patients without RVLs was significantly higher than that of patients with RVLs and that the RVLs were an independent risk factor for ESRD or death. Early intervention in the progression of RVLs can improve the prognosis.

Insights into the Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms That Govern the Fracture-Healing Process: A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10163554.

Abstract
Fracture-healing is a complex multi-stage process that usually progresses flawlessly, resulting in restoration of bone architecture and function. Regrettably, however, a considerable number of fractures fail to heal, resulting in delayed unions or non-unions. This may significantly impact several aspects of a patient’s life. Not surprisingly, in the past few years, a substantial amount of research and number of clinical studies have been designed, aiming at shedding light into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate fracture-healing. Herein, we present the current knowledge on the pathobiology of the fracture-healing process. In addition, the role of skeletal cells and the impact of marrow adipose tissue on bone repair is discussed. Unveiling the pathogenetic mechanisms that govern the fracture-healing process may lead to the development of novel, smarter, and more effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of fractures, especially of those with large bone defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein (Apo) may be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, little is known whether or not serum apolipoproteins are correlated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the prevalence of T2D in Chinese populations. In this study, we examined the association of serum ApoA1, ApoB, and the ratio of ApoB/ApoA1 (ApoB/A1 ratio) with T2D and FBG level, and compared apolipoprotein indicators in predicting T2D in Chinese adults. METHODS A total of 1027 subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The association of ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio with T2D prevalence was determined using logistic regression models. Multivariate-analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed for comparisons of the mean difference in FBG level. RESULTS We found that ApoB and ApoB/A1 ratio were positively associated with T2D prevalence and FBG, while inverse association was noted between ApoA1 and T2D prevalence as well as FBG. Stratified analyses for sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, and alcohol consumption showed no significant difference for the association of ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio with the prevalence of T2D among subgroups (all p-interactions> 0.05). Nonetheless, ApoA1 poorly performed in predicting T2D as it provided an AUC value of 0.310 that was significantly lower than those observed for ApoB (AUC value: 0.631) and ApoB/A1 ratio (AUC value: 0.685). Finally, path analyses indicated that the association between ApoB and T2D was mediated by BMI. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals the association of serum ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio with T2D and FBG in Chinese adults, suggesting that ApoB and ApoB/A1 ratio may be early indicators for predicting T2D. Prospective investigation in large cohort is needed.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable neoplastic hematologic disorder characterized by malignant plasma cells, mainly in the bone marrow. MM is associated with multiple factors, such as lipid metabolism, obesity, and age-associated disease development. Although, the precise pathogenetic mechanisms remain unknown, abnormal lipid and lipoprotein levels have been reported in patients with MM. Interestingly, patients with higher APOA1 levels, the major apolipoprotein of high density lipoprotein (HDL), have better overall survival. The limited existing studies regarding serum lipoproteins in MM are inconclusive, and often contradictory. Nevertheless, it appears that deregulation of the lipoprotein transport system may facilitate the development of the disease. Here, we provide a critical review of the literature on the role of lipids and lipoproteins in MM pathophysiology. We also propose novel mechanisms, linking the development and progression of MM to the metabolism of blood lipoproteins. We anticipate that proteomic and lipidomic analyses of serum lipoproteins along with analyses of their functionality may improve our understanding and shed light on novel mechanistic aspects of MM pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Experimental studies suggest that lipids affect bone metabolism. We aimed to elucidate whether lipid levels are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of postmenopausal women. DESIGN A cross-sectional study of participants in the Chronic Ailment Reduction after MENopause (CARMEN) cohort. Women underwent assessment of clinical and analytical parameters, including fasting lipid levels. BMD was assessed at both lumbar spine and hip. Homogeneity in the cohort was optimized by filtering out a series of confounding variables with a known impact on bone. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Association of BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck with lipid levels. RESULTS A total of 667 of the 1304 screened women were analyzed. A strong correlation was revealed between total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis detected a significant positive association of HDL-C with BMD at both spine (p = 0.007) and femoral neck (p = 0.013). Other independent predictors of spine BMD were years since menopause (ysm, negatively associated), and body mass index (BMI) and estradiol, both positively associated with BMD. The other independent variables in the femoral neck were ysm and glucose (negatively associated) and BMI, estradiol, and phosphate, all positively associated with BMD. CONCLUSION Levels of HDL-C, but not TC, LDL-C or triglycerides, were positively associated with BMD at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck in a homogeneous cohort of postmenopausal women.

Abstract
RATIONALE Prospective cohort studies question the value of HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) for stroke risk prediction. OBJECTIVE Investigate the relationship between long-term functional recovery and HDL proteome and function. METHODS AND RESULTS Changes in HDL protein composition and function (cholesterol efflux capacity) in patients after acute ischemic stroke at 2 time points (24 hours, 35 patients; 96 hours, 20 patients) and in 35 control subjects were measured. The recovery from stroke was assessed by 3 months, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin scale scores. When compared with control subject after adjustments for sex and HDL-C levels, 12 proteins some of which participate in acute phase response and platelet activation (APMAP [adipocyte plasma membrane-associated protein], GPLD1 [phosphate inositol-glycan specific phospholipase D], APOE [apolipoprotein E], IHH [Indian hedgehog protein], ITIH4 [inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor chain H4], SAA2 [serum amyloid A2], APOA4 [apolipoprotein A-IV], CLU [clusterin], ANTRX2 [anthrax toxin receptor 2], PON1 [serum paraoxonase/arylesterase], SERPINA1 [alpha-1-antitrypsin], and APOF [apolipoprotein F]) were significantly (adjusted P<0.05) altered in stroke HDL at 96 hours. The first 8 of these proteins were also significantly altered at 24 hours. Consistent with inflammatory remodeling, cholesterol efflux capacity was reduced by 32% (P<0.001) at both time points. Baseline stroke severity adjusted regression model showed that changes within 96-hour poststroke in APOF, APOL1, APMAP, APOC4 (apolipoprotein C4), APOM (apolipoprotein M), PCYOX1 (prenylcysteine oxidase 1), PON1, and APOE correlate with stroke recovery scores (R2=0.38-0.73, adjusted P<0.05). APOF (R2=0.73) and APOL1 (R2=0.60) continued to significantly correlate with recovery scores after accounting for tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) treatment. CONCLUSIONS Changes in HDL proteins during early acute phase of stroke associate with recovery. Monitoring HDL proteins may provide clinical biomarkers that inform on stroke recuperation.

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) appearing both early and advanced stages of the disease. A retrospective study was designed to explore the clinical significance of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in Chinese patients with RA. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were compared between RA patients complicated with osteoporosis (OP) and without OP, using logistic regression and ROC curve to analyse the association of HDL with OP. C reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), rheumatoid factor(RF), anti-cyclic citrulline polypeptide antibody (anti-CCP), 28 joints disease activity(DAS28) as well as organ involvement rates were then analysed between RA patients with different HDL levels. Serum levels of HDL were 1.2 ± 0.3 mmol/L in RA patients complicated with OP, significantly higher than those without OP; HDL was a risk factor for RA patients with OP, OR (95% CI) being 10.2 (4.5-23.0) after adjusting for gender, age and body mass index(BMI). RA patients with HDL ≤ 1.04 mmol/L had significantly higher levels of CRP, ESR, DAS28 and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence rate, yet OP incidence rate was lower. HDL was a predictor of RA-related OP, indicating potential value as predictor of disease complications in RA patients.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and its main protein component apolipoprotein (apo)A-I, play an important role in cholesterol homeostasis. It has been demonstrated that HDLs comprise of a very heterogeneous group of particles, not only regarding size but also composition. HDL's best described function is its role in the reverse cholesterol transport, where lipid-free apoA-I or small HDLs can accept and take up cholesterol from peripheral cells and subsequently transport this to the liver for excretion. However, several other functions have also been described, like anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects. In this article, the general features, synthesis and metabolism of apoA-I and HDLs will be discussed. Additionally, an overview of HDL functions will be given, especially in the context of some major pathologies like cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus. Finally, the therapeutic potential of raising HDL will be discussed, focussing on the difficulties of the past and the promises of the future.

Abstract
We examined bone formation and turnover in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, scavenger receptor type I (Scarb1), knockout animals relative to wild-type (WT) controls. Scarb1-/- animals have elevated serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) due to the role of Scarb1 in glucocorticoid production, which might cause increased bone mass. However, this was not observed: Scarb1-/- mice, with ACTH, over 1000 pg/ml relative to wild-type ACTH ~ 25 pg/ml, bone of the knockout animals was osteopenic relative to the wild type at 16 weeks, including bone volume/total volume and trabecular thickness. Other serum parameters of WT and Scarb1-/- animals in cortisol or calcium were unaffected, although Scarb1-/- animals had significantly elevated PTH and decreased phosphate. Osteoblast and osteoclast-related mRNAs extracted from bone were greatly decreased at 8 or 16 weeks. Importantly, in normal ACTH, osteogenic differentiation in vitro from mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced alkaline phosphatase and mineralization. In Scarb1-/- cells relative to WT, mRNAs for RunX2, alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, and osteocalcin were reduced 40-90%, all p < 0.01, indicating a role of Scarb1 in osteoblast differentiation independent of ACTH. Additionally, in vitro osteoblast differentiation at variable ACTH in WT cells confirmed ACTH increasing bone differentiation, mineralization, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin mRNA at 0-10 nM ACTH, but reduced bone differentiation at 100-1000 nM ACTH. Overall Scarb1-/- animals show inhibited bone formation with age. This may be a mixed effect on direct bone formation and of very high ACTH. Further, this work shows that both ACTH concentration and the HDL receptor Scarb1 play important independent roles in osteoblast differentiation.

Liu JQ, Li WX, Zheng JJ, Tian QN, Huang JF, Dai SX. Gain and loss events in the evolution of the apolipoprotein family in vertebrata. BMC Evol Biol 2019; 19:209. [PMID: 31722659 PMCID: PMC6854765 DOI: 10.1186/s12862-019-1519-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2018] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Various apolipoproteins widely distributed among vertebrata play key roles in lipid metabolism and have a direct correlation with human diseases as diagnostic markers. However, the evolutionary progress of apolipoproteins in species remains unclear. Nine human apolipoproteins and well-annotated genome data of 30 species were used to identify 210 apolipoprotein family members distributed among species from fish to humans. Our study focused on the evolution of nine exchangeable apolipoproteins (ApoA-I/II/IV/V, ApoC-I~IV and ApoE) from Chondrichthyes, Holostei, Teleostei, Amphibia, Sauria (including Aves), Prototheria, Marsupialia and Eutheria. Results In this study, we reported the overall distribution and the frequent gain and loss evolutionary events of apolipoprotein family members in vertebrata. Phylogenetic trees of orthologous apolipoproteins indicated evident divergence between species evolution and apolipoprotein phylogeny. Successive gain and loss events were found by evaluating the presence and absence of apolipoproteins in the context of species evolution. For example, only ApoA-I and ApoA-IV occurred in cartilaginous fish as ancient apolipoproteins. ApoA-II, ApoE, and ApoC-I/ApoC-II were found in Holostei, Coelacanthiformes, and Teleostei, respectively, but the latter three apolipoproteins were absent from Aves. ApoC-I was also absent from Cetartiodactyla. The apolipoprotein ApoC-III emerged in terrestrial animals, and ApoC-IV first arose in Eutheria. The results indicate that the order of the emergence of apolipoproteins is most likely ApoA-I/ApoA-IV, ApoE, ApoA-II, ApoC-I/ApoC-II, ApoA-V, ApoC-III, and ApoC-IV. Conclusions This study reveals not only the phylogeny of apolipoprotein family members in species from Chondrichthyes to Eutheria but also the occurrence and origin of new apolipoproteins. The broad perspective of gain and loss events and the evolutionary scenario of apolipoproteins across vertebrata provide a significant reference for the research of apolipoprotein function and related diseases.

[PMID: 30834945 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-019-04878-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2018] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED This study is to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis in rural areas of China, and then explore whether this association was mediated by lipid profiles. Results showed that with the increasing of BMI, the risk of osteoporosis was reduced, and lipid profiles mediate this association. INTRODUCTION To examine the relationship between BMI and osteoporosis, and explore whether this association was mediated by lipid profiles. METHODS A total of 8272 participants (18-79 years) were enrolled from the Henan Rural Cohort Study. The bone mineral density of the calcaneus was measured using an ultrasonic bone density apparatus. Logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Mediation analysis using bootstrap was performed to examine the contribution of lipid profiles to BMI-related osteoporosis. RESULTS The crude and age-standardized prevalence of osteoporosis were 15.93% and 11.77%, respectively. The mean BMIs were 24.12 kg/m2 for participants with osteoporosis and 25.06 kg/m2 for non-osteoporosis participants (P < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, subjects with obesity had a lower OR of osteoporosis (0.493 [95% CI: 0.405-0.600], Ptrend < 0.001) compared with normal-weight individuals. Mediation analysis showed that lipid profile partly mediated the relationship between BMI and osteoporosis with indirect effect OR (95% CI) of 0.985 (0.978-0.992), and the proportion explained of BMI was 15.48% for lipid profile. CONCLUSION With the increasing of BMI, the risk of osteoporosis was reduced in the Chinese adult population, and lipid profiles may be a potential mediator linking reduced risk of osteoporosis. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms will facilitate developing feasible preventive and therapeutic measures for osteoporosis. Chinese clinical trial register: ChiCTR-OOC-15006699.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Although investment in drug discovery and development has been sky-rocketing, the number of approved drugs has been declining. Cardiovascular toxicity due to therapeutic drug use claims the highest incidence and severity of adverse drug reactions in late-stage clinical development. Therefore, to address this issue, new, additional, replacement and combinatorial approaches are needed to fill the gap in effective drug discovery and screening. The motivation for developing accurate, predictive models is twofold: first, to study and discover new treatments for cardiac pathologies which are leading in worldwide morbidity and mortality rates; and second, to screen for adverse drug reactions on the heart, a primary risk in drug development. In addition to in vivo animal models, in vitro and in silico models have been recently proposed to mimic the physiological conditions of heart and vasculature. Here, we describe current in vitro, in vivo, and in silico platforms for modelling healthy and pathological cardiac tissues and their advantages and disadvantages for drug screening and discovery applications. We review the pathophysiology and the underlying pathways of different cardiac diseases, as well as the new tools being developed to facilitate their study. We finally suggest a roadmap for employing these non-animal platforms in assessing drug cardiotoxicity and safety.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study was a cross-sectional study and enrolled 14,147 participants after excluding. We performed a large number of data analyses to indicate that HDL-C levels were related to bone health. A high HDL-C level is an independent risk factor for bone loss both in males and females. INTRODUCTION Serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), usually called "good" cholesterol, is beneficial for preventing cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have indicated that HDL-C levels may be related to bone mass. We performed a cross-sectional study to examine the relationship between HDL-C levels and bone mass, both in men and women. METHODS A total of 14,147 Chinese participants from five medical centers were enrolled in this study. Pearson's correlation analyses, linear regression analyses, one-way ANOVAs, and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between HDL-C levels and bone mass in various cohorts. RESULTS Binary logistic regression analyses (after adjusting the confounding factors) indicated that a higher HDL-C level among males leads to a higher risk of at least osteopenia [OR (95% CI) = 1.807 (1.525, 2.142)] and osteoporosis [OR (95% CI) = 1.932 (1.291, 2.892)]. In the female group, the ORs of HDL-C for at least osteopenia [OR (95% CI) = 1.390 (1.100, 1.757)] and osteoporosis [OR (95% CI) = 1.768 (1.221, 2.560)] were still significant after adjusting for potential confounding factors except BMI. Data-standardized bivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that an increase in age is a stronger risk factor for osteoporosis and at least osteopenia than is higher HDL-C levels in females. CONCLUSIONS A high HDL-C level is an independent risk factor for bone loss both in males and females. Compared with high HDL-C levels, an increase in age and menopause have a much more negative effect on bone mass in females.

Abstract
HDLs are nanoparticles with more than 80 associated proteins, phospholipids, cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters. The potential inverse relation of HDL to coronary artery disease (CAD) and the effects of HDL on myriad other inflammatory conditions warrant a better understanding of the genetic basis of the HDL proteome. We conducted a comprehensive genetic analysis of the regulation of the proteome of HDL isolated from a panel of 100 diverse inbred strains of mice (the hybrid mouse diversity panel) and examined protein composition and efflux capacity to identify novel factors that affect the HDL proteome. Genetic analysis revealed widely varied HDL protein levels across the strains. Some of this variation was explained by local cis-acting regulation, termed cis-protein quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Variations in apoA-II and apoC-3 affected the abundance of multiple HDL proteins, indicating a coordinated regulation. We identified modules of covarying proteins and defined a protein-protein interaction network that describes the protein composition of the naturally occurring subspecies of HDL in mice. Sterol efflux capacity varied up to 3-fold across the strains, and HDL proteins displayed distinct correlation patterns with macrophage and ABCA1-specific cholesterol efflux capacity and cholesterol exchange, suggesting that subspecies of HDL participate in discrete functions. The baseline and stimulated sterol efflux capacity phenotypes were associated with distinct QTLs with smaller effect size, suggesting a multigenetic regulation. Our results highlight the complexity of HDL particles by revealing the high degree of heterogeneity and intercorrelation, some of which is associated with functional variation, and support the concept that HDL-cholesterol alone is not an accurate measure of HDL’s properties, such as protection against CAD.

Western-type diet differentially modulates osteoblast, osteoclast, and lipoblast differentiation and activation in a background of APOE deficiency. J Transl Med 2018; 98:1516-1526.

Abstract
During the past few years, considerable evidence has uncovered a strong relationship between fat and bone metabolism. Consequently, alterations in plasma lipid metabolic pathways strongly affect bone mass and quality. We recently showed that the deficiency of apolipoprotein A-1 (APOA1), a central regulator of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) metabolism, results in reduced bone mass in C57BL/6 mice. It is documented that apolipoprotein E (APOE), a lipoprotein know for its atheroprotective functions and de novo biogenesis of HDL-C, is associated with the accumulation of fat in the liver and other organs and regulates bone mass in mice. We further studied the mechanism of APOE in bone metabolism using well-characterized APOE knockout mice. We found that bone mass was remarkably reduced in APOE deficient mice fed Western-type diet (WTD) compared to wild type counterparts. Static (microCT-based) and dynamic histomorphometry showed that the reduced bone mass in APOΕ-/- mice is attributed to both decreased osteoblastic bone synthesis and elevated osteoclastic bone resorption. Interestingly, histologic analysis of femoral sections revealed a significant reduction in the number of bone marrow lipoblasts in APOΕ-/- compared to wild type mice under WTD. Analyses of whole bone marrow cells obtained from femora of both animal groups showed that APOE null mice had significantly reduced levels of the osteoblastic (RUNX2 and Osterix) and lipoblastic (PPARγ and CEBPα) cardinal regulators. Additionally, the modulators of bone remodeling RANK, RANKL, and cathepsin K were greatly increased, while OPG and the OPG/RANKL ratio were remarkably decreased in APOΕ-/- mice fed WTD, compared to their wild-type counterparts. These findings suggest that APOE deficiency challenged with WTD reduces osteoblastic and lipoblastic differentiation and activity, whereas it enhances osteoclastic function, ultimately resulting in reduced bone mass, in mice.
