Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the correlation between changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women and circulating inflammatory markers. METHODS This retrospective study focused on postmenopausal women admitted to the orthopedic department of Suzhou Benq Medical Center from June 2022 to December 2023, following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. We retrospectively collected data on initial blood routine test results and bone density measurements for all study subjects upon admission, including parameters such as white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and procalcitonin (PCT). Additionally, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was calculated using neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and platelet count. Statistical analyses using SPSS and GraphPad software were performed to assess the correlation between bone density and inflammatory markers. RESULTS Patients were classified into three groups based on BMD results, including 60 individuals in the osteoporosis (OP) group, 127 individuals in the osteopenia group, and 37 individuals in the Normal group, respectively. Principal component analysis analysis suggested that WBC, SII, and postmenopausal OP (PMOP) held significant feature values. Correlation analysis indicated a correlation between WBC (p = 0.021), IL-6 (p = 0.044), SII (p = 0.034), and PMOP. One-way ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences in IL-6 (p = 0.0179), SII (p = 0.0210), and PCT (p = 0.0200) among the three groups. Finally, ROC curve analysis demonstrated that SII (area under the curve = 0.716) has predictive value for PMOP. CONCLUSION This study identified a certain predictive value for PMOP through the assessment of inflammatory markers in peripheral blood using routine blood tests.

Bone 2024; 185:117114. [PMID: 38723878 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may contribute to osteoporosis. Berberine is a traditional Chinese medicine and was recently shown to be beneficial in NAFLD. However, little is known about its impact on bone loss induced by NAFLD. AIM We aimed to explore the role of berberine in bone loss and determine its underlying mechanisms in NAFLD. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat high-fructose high-glucose diet (HFFGD) for 16 weeks to establish a NAFLD mouse model. The mice were administered berberine (300 mg/kg/d) by gavage, and fatty liver levels and bone loss indicators were tested. RESULTS Berberine significantly improved HFFGD-induced weight gain, hepatic lipid accumulation and increases in serum liver enzymes, thereby alleviating NAFLD. Berberine increased trabecular number (Tb. N), trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), bone volume to tissue volume ratio (BV/TV), and decreased trabecular separation (Tb. Sp) and restored bone loss in NAFLD. Mechanistically, berberine significantly inhibited ferroptosis and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), and transferrin (TF) levels and increased ferritin heavy chain (FTH) levels in the femurs of HFFGD-fed mice. Moreover, berberine also activated the solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Berberine significantly ameliorates bone loss induced by NAFLD by activating the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 signaling pathway and inhibiting ferroptosis. Therefore, berberine may serve as a therapeutic agent for NAFLD-induced bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a chronic condition characterized by decreased bone strength. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of the combination of Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum (Bp) and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA) on PMO. METHODS The effects of Bp and 3-HAA on PMO were evaluated in ovariectomized (OVX) rats by assessing stereological parameters, femur microstructure, and autophagy levels. The T helper (Th) 17/Regulatory T (Treg) cells of rats were detected using flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, the impact of Bp and 3-HAA on the gut microbiota of rats was assessed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The correlation between the gut microbiota of rats and Th17/Treg immune factors, as well as femoral stereo parameters, was separately assessed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. RESULTS Bp and 3-HAA treatments protected OVX rats by promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting autophagy. Compared to the Sham group, OVX rats showed an increase in Th17 cells and a decrease in Treg cells. Bp and 3-HAA reversed these changes. Enterorhabdus and Pseudomonas were significantly enriched in OVX rats. Bp and 3-HAA regulated the gut microbiota of OVX rats, enriching pathways related to nutrient metabolism and immune function. There was a correlation between the gut microbiota and the Th17/Treg, as well as femoral stereo parameters. The concurrent administration of Bp and 3-HAA medication facilitated the enrichment of gut microbiota associated with the improvement of PMO. CONCLUSION The combination therapy of Bp and 3-HAA can prevent PMO by modulating the gut microbiota and restoring Th17/Treg immune homeostasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the efficacy and safety of tibolone combined with zoledronic acid in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 121 PMO patients from March 2019 to July 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on treatment regimen: an observation group (n=62) receiving zoledronic acid combined with tibolone and a control group (n=59) receiving tibolone monotherapy. We evaluated and compared therapeutic efficacy, bone mineral density, bone metabolism markers (osteocalcin, serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and bone alkaline phosphatase), pain, knee joint function, incidence of fragility fractures, and adverse reactions. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate risk factors affecting treatment efficacy. RESULTS The observation group showed a significantly higher therapeutic effect (96.77%) compared to the control group (83.05%), and a lower incidence of fragility fractures (P=0.012). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in bone mineral density, bone metabolism markers, pain status, or knee function between the two groups (all P>0.05). However, after treatment, evaluations showed marked improvements in these parameters in both groups, with more significant enhancements observed in the observation group (all P<0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions did not significantly differ between the groups (20.97% vs 13.56%, P=0.282). Logistic regression analysis identified the use of tibolone combined with zoledronic acid as a protective factor for effective treatment. CONCLUSIONS Tibolone combined with zoledronic acid significantly increases bone mineral density, improves bone metabolism, and reduces pain in PMO patients, with a safety profile comparable to that of monotherapy. This regimen should be considered for clinical use in treating PMO.

Abstract
Tobacco smoke exposure has been demonstrated to impede bone remodeling and diminish bone density, yet research regarding its correlation with parathyroid hormone (PTH) remains limited. This study aims to investigate the relationship between tobacco smoke exposure and serum PTH levels in adults aged 20 years and older. This study included 7,641 participants from two cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, United States, 2003- 2006). Reflect tobacco smoke exposure through serum cotinine levels, and use an adjusted weighted multivariate linear regression model to test the independent linear relationship between serum cotinine and PTH. Stratified analysis was conducted to validate the sensitivity of the conclusions. Smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analysis were performed to assess the non-linear relationship. After comprehensive adjustment using weighted multivariate regression analysis, a negative correlation was found between serum cotinine and PTH levels. The interaction p-values in subgroup analyses were all greater than 0.05. Moreover, smooth curve fitting indicated a non-linear relationship between serum cotinine and PTH, with a turning point observed. Our research indicates that tobacco smoke exposure is negatively correlated and independent of serum parathyroid hormone levels, indicating that long-term tobacco smoke exposure may lead to parathyroid dysfunction in adults.

Abstract
The results of many studies in recent years indicate a significant impact of pituitary function on bone health. The proper function of the pituitary gland has a significant impact on the growth of the skeleton and the appearance of sexual dimorphism. It is also responsible for achieving peak bone mass, which protects against the development of osteoporosis and fractures later in life. It is also liable for the proper remodeling of the skeleton, which is a physiological mechanism managing the proper mechanical resistance of bones and the possibility of its regeneration after injuries. Pituitary diseases causing hypofunction and deficiency of tropic hormones, and thus deficiency of key hormones of effector organs, have a negative impact on the skeleton, resulting in reduced bone mass and susceptibility to pathological fractures. The early appearance of pituitary dysfunction, i.e. in the pre-pubertal period, is responsible for failure to achieve peak bone mass, and thus the risk of developing osteoporosis in later years. This argues for the need for a thorough assessment of patients with hypopituitarism, not only in terms of metabolic disorders, but also in terms of bone disorders. Early and properly performed treatment may prevent patients from developing the bone complications that are so common in this pathology. The aim of this review is to discuss the physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical insights of bone involvement in pituitary disease.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots (CDs) are commonly found in food products and have attracted significant attention from food scientists. There is a high probability of CD exposure in humans, but its impacts on health are unclear. Therefore, health effects associated with CD consumption should be investigated. In this study, we attempted to create a model system of the Maillard reaction between cystine and glucose using a simple cooking approach. The CDs (CG-CDs) were isolated from cystine-glucose-based Maillard reaction products and characterized using fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Furthermore, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMCs) were used as a model to unravel the CDs' cytotoxic properties. The physiochemical assessment revealed that CG-CDs emit excitation-dependent fluorescence and possess a circular shape with sizes ranging from 2 to 13 nm. CG-CDs are predominantly composed of carbon, oxygen, and sulfur. The results of the cytotoxicity evaluation indicate good biocompatibility, where no severe toxicity was observed in hMCs up to 400 μg/mL. The DPPH assay demonstrated that CDs exert potent antioxidant abilities. The qPCR analysis revealed that CDs promote the downregulation of the key regulatory genes, PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1, and HMGCR, coupled with the upregulation of anti-inflammatory genes. Our findings suggested that, along with their excellent biocompatibility, CG-CDs may offer positive health outcomes by modulating critical genes involved in lipogenesis, homeostasis, and obesity pathogenesis.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aimed to explore the associations of diet quality assessed by healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) with risks of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD) among American postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older. Methods Postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 through 2018 were included in the final sample. Analysis of variance and Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square tests were used to compare the characteristics across tertiles of HEI-2015. Univariate and multivariate weighted logistic regression models were employed to explore the associations of HEI-2015 tertiles and continuous HEI-2015 with the risks of osteoporosis and low BMD. Nonlinear dose-response associations were evaluated using weighted restricted cubic spline analyses, and the contributions of various HEI-2015 components were assessed using weighted quantile sum regression models. Results The final sample included 3,421 postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older representative for approximately 28.38 million non-institutionalized U.S. postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis prevalence decreased with HEI-2015 tertiles while the prevalence of low BMD showed no significant decrease. Compared with postmenopausal women in the first tertile of HEI-2015, those with the second (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.38-0.84) and third (OR: 0.48, 95%CI: 0.29-0.78) HEI-2015 tertiles were associated with reduced osteoporosis risk after multivariate adjustments, but no significant association of HEI-2015 with the risk of BMD was identified. Furthermore, similar effects were confirmed in the sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses and interaction effects. Moreover, significant nonlinear associations were observed between HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk, and total vegetables, refined grains and greens and beans demonstrated the strongest protective effect among HEI-2015 components against osteoporosis. Conclusions This study strongly suggests the significant negative associations of HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk in American postmenopausal women. These findings highlight the importance of adherence to the dietary guidelines for Americans in reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholesterol (CHO) is an essential component of the body. However, high CHO levels in the body can damage bone mass and promote osteoporosis. CHO accumulation can cause osteoblast apoptosis, which has a negative effect on bone formation. The pathogenesis of osteoporosis is a complicate process that includes oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and inflammation. Geniposide (GEN) is a natural compound with anti-osteoporotic effect. However, the roles of GEN in osteopathogenesis are still unclear. Our previous studies demonstrated that GEN could reduce the accumulation of CHO in osteoblasts and the activation of ER stress in osteoblasts. However, the molecular mechanism of GEN in inhibiting CHO-induced apoptosis in osteoblasts needs to be further investigated. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with osteogenic induction medium (OIM). Ethanol-solubilized cholesterol (100 µM) was used as a stimulator, and 10 µM and 25 µM geniposide was added for treatment. The alterations of protein expression were detected by western blot, and the cell apoptosis was analyzed by a flow cytometer. RESULTS CHO promoted osteoblast apoptosis by activating ER stress in osteoblasts, while GEN alleviated the activation of ER stress and reduced osteoblast apoptosis by activating the GLP-1R/ABCA1 pathway. Inhibition of ABCA1 or GLP-1R could eliminate the protective activity of GEN against CHO-induced ER stress and osteoblast apoptosis. CONCLUSION GEN alleviated CHO-induced ER stress and apoptosis in osteoblasts by mediating the GLP-1R/ABCA1 pathway.

Abstract
To explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and total lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) in adults. This study included 9927 participants from 2011 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The date on BMI, total lumbar BMD and other covariates were collected. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between BMI and total lumbar BMD. Smoothing curve fitting and saturation effects analysis models were used to analyze the nonlinear relationships and saturation values. Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that BMI was positively linked to total lumbar BMD in non-adjusted models (β = 0.003, 95% CI: 0.003-0.003, P < .00001). After adjusting for gender and race (β = 0.003, 95% CI: 0.003-0.004, P < .00001) and all covariates (β = 0.004, 95% CI: 0.003-0.004, P < .00001), the association still existed. Smoothing curve fitting showed that there was nonlinear correlation between BMI and total lumbar BMD with saturation effect. The BMI saturation value was 21.2 kg/m2 in the total lumbar BMD based on saturation effects analysis models. There was nonlinear positive correlation between BMI and total lumbar BMD with saturation effect. For adults, keeping the BMI at a reasonable value (21.2 kg/m2) would obtain an optimal balance between BMI and total lumbar BMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES the primary aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density in Bahrain. METHODS this was a retrospective study, which targeted a cohort of 4822 Bahraini subjects (mean age 59.36 years: 93% females). Demographic data and results of lumbar and femur DEXA scan for the targeted sample, over the period 2016-2018, were retrieved from four hospitals. RESULTS The prevalence of low BMD was 62.3% (46.4% had osteopenia and 15.9% had osteoporosis). The highest rate of osteopenia was detected at the age group younger than 44 years. However, with increasing age, the rate of osteopenia declined, whereas osteoporosis increased (P < 0.001). Females were found to be at higher risk of developing both osteopenia (45.8%) and osteoporosis (18.1%) compared to males (39% and 12.4%, respectively) (P < 0.001). Postmenopausal women exhibited higher rates of low BMD (42.4% osteopenia, 22.3% osteoporosis) compared to elderly men (30.9% osteopenia, 9% osteoporosis). CONCLUSIONS We reported high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in Bahrain. Low BMD was more common in females, especially in postmenopausal women. Highest prevalence of osteopenia happened at young age. Therefore, we advocate screening at younger age than previously recommended.

Abstract
Menopause, when menstrual cycles stop, is brought on by a decline in the level of the hormones progesterone and oestrogen synthesised by the ovaries. Menopause is an unavoidable stage of a female's lifecycle, but because experiences differ for every woman, several women require health care aid to manage their health problems. The physiological variations that take place at various periods of the reproducing age, along with the kind and timing of menopause, are components that are frequently associated with a greater threat of cardiometabolic illness. The most researched associations between menopause and cardiometabolic health are reduced levels of ovarian estrogen synthesis and excessive amounts of androgen during the onset of menopause. Although testosterone and oestrogens have differing effects on adipocyte physiology, it is debatable how important oestrogens are for the emergence of metabolic disorders following menopause. The control of adipocyte differentiation by the brain as well as potential roles of oestrogen and endocrine disruptors chemicals are reviewed in this systematic review of the subject. In general, women had a greater frequency of metabolic syndrome compared to men. Female metabolism was significantly impacted by overt hyperthyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism. Osteoporosis is another medical condition that menopausal women may experience. Estrogen deprivation is the main contributor to osteoporosis in menopausal women. The regular cycle of bone turnover is disrupted by the decrease in estrogen secretion, which boosts osteoclastic resorption activity while decreasing osteoblastic activity. The entire article assesses and provides information on all the changes in a woman's life after menopause.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a prevalent chronic disease that often goes unnoticed in postmenopausal women. Early identification of risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women is essential. This study aimed to develop predictive models for osteoporosis-related factors among postmenopausal women in the U.S. and explore the influencing factors. In this cross-sectional study, we included 4417 postmenopausal women from the NHANES (2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2020). Through multiple regression analysis, we found that age, minutes of sedentary activity, prednisone or cortisone usage, arthritis, bone loss around teeth, and trouble sleeping were risk factors for osteoporosis after menopause. Conversely, height, BMI, and age at the last menstrual period were identified as protective factors. The findings from the Bayesian network analysis indicated that several factors influenced osteoporosis, including age, BMI, bone loss around teeth, prednisone or cortisone usage, arthritis, and age at the last menstrual period. On the other hand, minutes of sedentary activity and height might have indirect effects, while trouble sleeping may not have a significant impact. Both logistic regression and Bayesian network models demonstrated good predictive capabilities in predicting osteoporosis among postmenopausal women. In addition, Bayesian networks offer a more intuitive depiction of the intricate network risk mechanism between diseases and factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUD The influencing factors of osteoporosis are complex, the incidence of osteoporosis is higher in middle-aged and elderly women, and osteoporotic fractures (OF) can seriously affect quality of life. Currently, the correlation analysis between gastrointestinal diseases and OF focuses more on diseases such as gastric cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study analyzed the risk factors for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in 1567 postmenopausal women in Fuzhou, China. The purpose is to explore the potential influence of gastrointestinal diseases on the occurrence of OF. METHODS According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 1567 subjects were included in the analysis of OP risk factors, including 647 in the OP group and 920 in the NOP group. A total of 616 subjects were included in the analysis of correlation between OF and gastrointestinal diseases, including 132 in OF group and 484 in NF group. Statistical analysis shows that age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI = 1.045-1.080), height (OR = 0.089, 95% CI = 0.009-0.857), weight (OR = 0.981,95% CI = 0.967-0.995) and nature of work (P = 0.010) are the main risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in southeast China, and gastrointestinal diseases (OR = 1.583, 95% CI = 1.070-2.343) and height (OR = 0.003, 95% CI = 0.000-0.104) are the main risk factors of OF. CONCLUSIONS The main factors affecting the occurrence of OP in postmenopausal women in southeast China are individual characteristic. Gastrointestinal diseases that do not directly affect BMD increase the risk of OF in osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a major health problem in postmenopausal women, and characterized by deteriorated bone mass and micro-architecture. There have been some clinical trials demonstrating the beneficial effects of vitamin-D and some trace elements on calcium absorption and attenuation of osteoporosis development. However, effects of the combination of vitamin-D and zinc on calcium absorption and osteoporosis have not been adequately investigated. METHODS Network pharmacology was first performed to explore possible correlations between calcium/vitamin D/zinc and osteoporosis. Forty-nine female Sprague-Dawley rats (6 months old, 250 ± 20 g) were randomized into 7 experimental groups with 7 animals per group for the in vivo study, including one sham surgery control group, one ovariectomizing (OVX) group, and 5 OVX plus treatment groups. At the end of animal experiment, animal tibia and femur leg bones and blood were collected for H&E staining, bone microstructure analysis by a micro-CT, measurement of bone and serum Ca, P and Zn concentrations, and immunohistochemical detection of macrophage-colony stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFR) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL). RESULTS The network pharmacology analysis identified 57 candidate targets that were related to the osteoporosis-Ca/VitD/Zn interconnections. Further pathway analysis suggested that the combined treatment of Ca, VitD and Zn attenuated osteoporosis via modulation of metabolic pathways. We found that a therapy with Ca/VitD-M/Zn-M (73 mg/kg/day Ca, 0.6 g/kg/day VitD3 and 0.6 mg/kg/day zinc citrate) could significantly suppress the progression of osteoporosis in rats. After the Ca/VitD-M/Zn-M treatment, the ratio of bone volume/tissue volume, trabecular number and the trabecular thickness were all significantly elevated while the extent of trabecular separation was significantly reduced. Additionally, both serum calcium and bone calcium levels were significantly upregulated by the Ca/VitD/Zn treatment in a dose-dependent manner. The combination of Ca/VitD-M/Zn-M was superiou to either Ca/VitD-L/Zn-L or Ca/VitD-H/Zn-H treatment for such an effect. Moreover, the osteoporosis-associated M-CSFR and RANKL factors were both significantly downregulated by the Ca/VitD-M/Zn-M treatment in bone tissues of OVX rats. CONCLUSIONS The combined supplement of VitD and Zn facilitates the Ca(2 +) absorption and attenuates the development of osteoporosis via down-regulation of osteoporosis-associated factors M-CSFR and RANKL, thus potentially constitutes an alternative therapy for the postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In mouse, it was discovered that resveratrol (Res) enhanced osteoporosis (OP) by boosting osteogenesis. Besides, Res can also have an impact on MC3T3-E1 cells, which are crucial for the control of osteogenesis and thus increase osteogenesis. Although some articles have discovered that Res enhanced autophagy to promote the value-added differentiation of MC3T3, it is unclear exactly how this affects the process of osteogenesis in mouse. Therefore, we will show that Res encourages MC3T3-E1 proliferation and differentiation in mouse pre-osteoblasts and further investigate the autophagy-related mechanism for this impact. METHODS (1) MC3T3-E1 cells were separated into blank control group and various concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100µmol/L) of group in order to determine the ideal Res concentration. In the Res group, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to measure the proliferation activity of pre-osteoblasts in mice in each group after resveratrol intervention. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining were used to gauge the degree of osteogenic differentiation, and RT-qPCR was used to measure the expression levels of Runx2 and OCN in the osteogenic differentiation ability of the cells. (2) In the experiment, four groups were set up: the control group, 3MA group, Res group, and Res + 3MA group. To examine cell mineralization, ALP and alizarin red staining were utilized. RT-qPCR and Western blot detection of cell autophagy activity levels and osteogenic differentiation capacity in each group following intervention. RESULTS (1) Resveratrol might increase the number of mice pre-osteoblast, with the impact being most pronounced at 10µmol/L (P < 0.05). The nodules developed substantially more often than in the blank control group, and Runx2 and OCN expressions significantly increased (P < 0.05). (2) In contrast to the Res group, after 3MA purine blocked autophagy, the Res + 3MA group's alkaline phosphatase staining and the development of mineralized nodules were reduced. Runx2, OCN, LC3II / LC3I expression decreased, p62 expression increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study partially or indirectly demonstrated that Res may, through increased autophagy, induce osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
AIM In this study, the correlation between the change in bone mineral density (BMD) and the numerical value of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in postmenopausal Turkish women was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study comprised patients who had undergone menopause for at least one year and whose blood samples were examined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) on the same day. A retrospective evaluation of 527 postmenopausal women was performed. Age, body mass index (BMI), BMD, t score, neutrophil-lymphocyte-platelet-monocyte counts, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and SII (platelet count x neutrophil count/lymphocyte count) values were calculated and recorded. RESULTS When the data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS; IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.), neutrophil (p<0.001), lymphocyte (p=0.004), monocytes (p=0.002), platelet distribution width (PDW) (p=0.02), procalcitonin (PCT) (p=0.04), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (p=0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) (p=0.001), NLR (p=0.001), PLR (p=0.004), MLR (p=0.003), and SII (p=0.001) values were found to be higher in the postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) group than in the normal and osteopenia groups (p<0.05). When the platelet (p=0.15), mean platelet volume (MPV) (p=0.07), and 25-OH vitamin-D (p=0.15) values were compared, no correlation was found between the groups (normal, osteopenia, and PMO) (p>0.05). CONCLUSION This study revealed that NLR, PLR, MLR, and SII values were inversely correlated with the change in BMD in postmenopausal Turkish women. These biomarkers, which are obtained from a simple, affordable, and accessible routine blood examination, may play an effective role in the early diagnosis and prevention of PMO in the future.

Abstract
Nutrient patterns (NPs) and the synergistic effect between nutrients have been shown to be associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD). This study aimed to identify NPs and to associate them with BMD categories in postmenopausal women. This cross-sectional, observational, analytical study was carried out with women in menopause for at least 12 months, aged ≥50 years. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical variables were investigated. BMD was assessed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. A dietary assessment was conducted using a food frequency questionnaire, and three nutrient patterns (NP1, NP2, and NP3) were extracted from the principal component analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to investigate the association between BMD classifications and NP consumption. A total of 124 women, aged on average, 66.8 ± 6.1 years, were evaluated. Of these, 41.9% had osteopenia and 36.3% had osteoporosis. The NP1 (OR: 6.64, [CI95%: 1.56-28.16]; p = 0.010), characterized by vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, riboflavin, protein (total and animal), vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, cholesterol, β-carotene, omega 3, magnesium, zinc, niacin, and selenium; and the NP2 (OR: 5.03, [CI95%: 1.25-20.32]; p = 0.023), characterized by iron, vegetable protein, thiamine, folate, fibers (soluble and insoluble), PUFA, vitamin A, vitamin K, alpha-tocopherol, copper, sodium, and retinol, was inversely associated with osteopenia. The lower consumption of NP1 and NP2 by postmenopausal women was associated with a higher risk of osteopenia, but not osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis resulting from an imbalance of bone turnover between resorption and formation is a critical health issue worldwide. Estrogen deficiency following a nature aging process is the leading cause of hormone-related osteoporosis for postmenopausal women, while glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis remains the most common in drug-induced osteoporosis. Other medications and medical conditions related to secondary osteoporosis include proton pump inhibitors, hypogonadism, selective serotonin receptor inhibitors, chemotherapies, and medroxyprogesterone acetate. This review is a summary of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of bone turnover, the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, and their treatment. Nuclear factor-κβ ligand (RANKL) appears to be the critical uncoupling factor that enhances osteoclastogenesis. In contrast, osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a RANKL antagonist secreted by osteoblast lineage cells. Estrogen promotes apoptosis of osteoclasts and inhibits osteoclastogenesis by stimulating the production of OPG and reducing osteoclast differentiation after suppression of IL-1 and TNF, and subsequent M-CSF, RANKL, and IL-6 release. It can also activate the Wnt signaling pathway to increase osteogenesis, and upregulate BMP signaling to promote mesenchymal stem cell differentiation from pre-osteoblasts to osteoblasts rather than adipocytes. Estrogen deficiency leads to the uncoupling of bone resorption and formation; therefore, resulting in greater bone loss. Excessive glucocorticoids increase PPAR-2 production, upregulate the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in osteoblasts, and inhibit the Wnt signaling pathway, thus decreasing osteoblast differentiation. They promote osteoclast survival by enhancing RANKL expression and inhibiting OPG expression. Appropriate estrogen supplement and avoiding excessive glucocorticoid use are deemed the primary treatment for hormone-related and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Additionally, current pharmacological treatment includes bisphosphonates, teriparatide (PTH), and RANKL inhibitors (such as denosumab). However, many detailed cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying osteoporosis seem complicated and unexplored and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
This literature review was conducted to analyze the capability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to accurately identify low bone mass density in women. A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, and Science Direct was performed to identify relevant articles, and the Cochrane risk of bias criterion was used to determine the methodological quality of the included studies. All ten included studies assessed primary research on the capacity of CBCT to accurately diagnose insufficient bone mineral density. All relevant data were extracted, and the results were summarized narratively. The results indicated that the CBCT has good sensitivity and specificity and high accuracy in predicting osteoporosis. Four of the included studies measured qualitative values, while the others concentrated on quantitative values and found lower values in osteoporosis patients compared to those of osteopenic and healthy patients. All the studies compared CBCT grayscale values with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scores, which strengthened our confidence in the accuracy of CBCT’s diagnostic capability. CBCT is considered a feasible predictive tool for detecting patients who are at risk of osteoporosis, although further research is needed to confirm the evidence and enhance its common use among health care professionals.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 116:109844. [PMID: 36764273 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.109844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Hsa_circ_0006859 has been found as a possible biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) with an effect on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify dysregulated RNAs involved in osteoporosis based on public datasets. Function assays were used to determine the functions of hsa_circ_0006859 on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in vitro. It was found that hsa_circ_0006859 was upregulated in OVX mice-derived BMSCs, but lowly expressed during osteogenic differentiation. Overexpressing hsa_circ_0006859 inhibited the cell proliferation and osteogenesis of BMSCs and hFOB 1.19 cells, vice versa. Bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) was used to induce PMOP in mice. The interactions among circ_0006859, miR-642b-5p/miR-483-3p, and EFNA2/DOCK3 were determined using the RIP assay. Silencing circ_0006859 relieved PMOP in mice. Mechanistically, circ_0006859 bound to miR-642b-5p/miR-483-3p directly, while miR-642b-5p and miR-483-3p respectively targeted EFNA2 and DOCK3. Hsa_circ_0006859 downregulated the expression of miR-642b-5p/miR-483-3p to upregulate EFNA2/DOCK3. Additionally, miR-642b-5p/miR-483-3p targeted EFNA2/DOCK3 to inhibit BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and facilitate osteoporosis progression by inactivating the Wnt signaling. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0006859 is involved in PMOP by targeting miR-642b-5p/EFNA2 and miR-483-3p/DOCK3 axes to maintain the Wnt-signaling pathway, which may be a novel possible therapeutic targets and biomarkers for PMOP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is usually managed by conventional drug treatment. However, prolonged use of these drugs cause side effects. Gut microbiota may be a potential target for treatment of PMO. This work was a three-month intervention trial aiming to evaluate the added effect of probiotics as adjunctive treatment for PMO. METHODS Forty patients with PMO were randomized into probiotic (n = 20; received Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Probio-M8 [Probio-M8], calcium, calcitriol) and placebo (n = 20; received placebo material, calcium, calcitriol) groups. The bone mineral density of patients was measured at month 0 (0 M; baseline) and month 3 (3 M; after three-month intervention). Blood and fecal samples were collected 0 M and 3 M. Only 15 and 12 patients from Probio-M8 and placebo groups, respectively, provided complete fecal samples for gut microbiota analysis. RESULTS No significant change was observed in the bone mineral density of patients at 3 M. Co-administering Probio-M8 improved the bone metabolism, reflected by an increased vitamin D3 level and decreased PTH and procalcitonin levels in serum at 3 M. Fecal metagenomic analysis revealed modest changes in the gut microbiome in both groups at 3 M. Interestingly, Probio-M8 co-administration affected the gut microbial interactive correlation network, particularly the short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria. Probio-M8 co-administration significantly increased genes encoding some carbohydrate metabolism pathways (including ABC transporters, the phosphotransferase system, and fructose and mannose metabolism) and a choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase. CONCLUSIONS Co-administering Probio-M8 with conventional drugs/supplements was more efficacious than conventional drugs/supplements alone in managing PMO. Our study shed insights into the beneficial mechanism of probiotic adjunctive treatment. REGISTRATION NUMBER OF CLINICAL TRIAL Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (identifier number: ChiCTR1800019268).

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic bone metabolic disease, which often causes fractures and various complications, it causes a great social and economic burden, and it is urgent to use modern research techniques to elucidate the pathogenesis of PMOP. At the same time, because of the complex physiological and pathological interaction mechanism between osteoporosis and sarcopenia, the correlation research has become a hot topic. Ovary removal is a commonly used experimental method to study the endocrine system of female animals, and it is also the best animal model to study PMOP. In this study, the preparation of the ovariectomized rat was confirmed through the detection of vaginal smear, the level of bone formation markers, and the analysis of bone tissue morphology. Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the molecular mechanism of PMOP in ovariectomized rats, qRT-PCR was used to verify the key targets. Results of Micro-CT and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the trabecular structure was disorganized and the symptoms of osteoporosis appeared, this indicating that the ovariectomized rats model was successfully prepared. Transcriptional sequencing results of femur tissue showed that 452 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened. Bioinformatics analysis results showed that the osteoporosis caused by ovariectomized rats was mainly related to muscle contraction, calcium signaling pathway, etc. Results of qRT-PCR were consistent with transcriptome analysis. These results reveal the pathogenesis of PMOP in ovariectomized rats and also offer a possibility for elucidating the relevance of action between PMOP and sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LincGAS5 have been reported to regulate the progression of osteoporosis (OP). However, the relationship between LincGAS5 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in osteoporosis were still unclear. METHODS Bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) rat were established as OP model and verified by the Micro-computed tomography. The ROS level of BMSCs derived from OVX and control rat were detected by Immunofluorescence (IF) and flow cytometry. The role of GAS5, miR-23b-3p and SIRT1 on the osteogenic differentiation were dectected by ARS saining and ALP staining, while the The Oil Red O staining and flow cytometry (FCM) were hired to determine adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs under different treatment. The expression of GAS5,miR-23b-3p and SIRT1 in BMSCs was detected by RT-qPCR and the correlation among them was analyzed. In addition, Luciferase activity was used to detect whether miR-23b-3p combined with GAS5 and SIRT1 in OP mice BMSCs. RESULTS We established the OVX rat model and found higher ROS level in BMSCs isolated from OVX rats. Meanwhile, GAS5 was down-regulated by ROS and remarkably lowly expressed in OVX rat comparing with the negative control. We confirmed GAS5 inhibited adipogenesis and promoted osteoporosis progression. Mechanically, GAS5 bound with miR-23b-3p and suppressed its biological function. We also identified that miR-23b-3p bound with Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and decreased its stability. Furthermore, SIRT1 suppressed ROS production in BMSCs, which in turn un-regulated GAS5 expression through ROS-GAS5 axis. CONCLUSION We identified a negative feedback loop, ROS-GAS5-SIRT1, in osteoporosis progression. Our findings provided potential targets and biomarkers for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Whether ursolic acid is an effective drug in treatment of osteoporosis (OP) and how it exhibit activity effect on OP is unclear. To investigated the potential molecular mechanism of ursolic acid in the treatment of OP and figured out its possible mechanism is necessary. The target genes of ursolic acid were screened by using the database of traditional chinese medicine systems pharmacology, PubMed database and UniProt database. OP-related target genes were searched by GeneCards database, and utilized online mapping tool to obtain common target genes of component-disease. String database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of component-disease common target genes and perform topological analysis to screen core target genes. DAVID database was performed gene ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis for component-disease shared target genes. Using the core target protein as the receptor and ursolic acid as the ligand, the molecular docking was performed using AutoDockVina 1.1.2 software. A total of 52 ursolic acid-related target genes and 4657 OP-related target genes were excavated, with a total of collective 43 target genes. The above-mentioned PPI network with shared target genes contains 43 nodes and 510 edges, with an average node degree value of 23.32. A total of 24 core target genes were obtained, mainly including tumor protein p53 (TP53), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), interleukin-6 (IL6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), caspase3 (CASP3), matrix metallo protein (MMP9), transcription factor AP-1 (JUN), activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8), and prostaglandin endoperoxidase 2 (PTGS2), respectively. According to KEGG enrichment analysis, there are 126 treatment of OP signaling pathway were enriched. GO enrichment analysis revealed that 313 biological processes were identified. The molecular docking result showed that the binding energies were all lower than -5 kcal/mol, indicating strong binding activity to the protein by the 6 core target gene. The therapeutic effect of ursolic acid on OP may be achieved by regulating TP53, JUN, IL6, VEGFA, CASP3, and MAPK8 genes, respectively. It exhibits possible biological function in the treatment of OP mainly involve positive regulation of apoptotic process, response to drug, incytoplasm, cytosol, protein binding, identical protein binding. Its mechanism may related to multiple therapeutic targets and signaling pathways such as cancer pathway, hepatitis B, and TNF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common bone health disorder in hemodialysis patients that is linked with a higher morbidity and mortality rate. While previous studies have explored the associated factors of osteoporosis, there is a lack of studies investigating the impacts of health literacy (HL) and digital healthy diet literacy (DDL) on osteoporosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the associations of HL, DDL, and other factors with osteoporosis among hemodialysis patients. From July 2020 to March 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 675 hemodialysis patients in eight hospitals in Vietnam. The data were collected by using the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) and the 12-item short form of the health literacy questionnaire (HLS-SF12) on digital healthy diet literacy (DDL) and hemodialysis dietary knowledge (HDK). In addition, we also collected information about the socio-demographics, the clinical parameters, the biochemical parameters, and physical activity. Unadjusted and adjusted multinomial logistic regression models were utilized in order to investigate the associations. The proportion of patients at low, medium, and high levels of osteoporosis risk was 39.6%, 40.6%, and 19.8%, respectively. In the adjusted models, women had a higher likelihood of osteoporosis risk than men (odds ratio, OR, 3.46; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI, 1.86, 6.44; p < 0.001; and OR, 6.86; 95% CI, 2.96, 15.88; p < 0.001). The patients with rheumatoid arthritis (OR, 4.37; 95% CI, 1.67, 11.52; p = 0.003) and stomach ulcers (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.01, 3.77; p = 0.048) were more likely to have a higher likelihood of osteoporosis risk than those without. The patients who had a higher waist circumference (WC), HL, and DDL were less likely to have a medium level of osteoporosis risk (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92, 0.98; p = 0.004; OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88, 0.96; p < 0.001; OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.93, 0.99; p = 0.017, respectively) and a high level of osteoporosis risk (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.89, 0.97; p = 0.001; OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.84, 0.94; p < 0.001; OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.91, 0.99; p = 0.008, respectively) compared with a low level of osteoporosis risk and to those with a lower WC, HL, and DDL. In addition, higher levels of hemoglobin (Hb) (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.66, 0.95; p = 0.014), hematocrit (Hct) (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92, 0.99; p = 0.041), albumin (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83, 0.99; p = 0.030), and education (OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.16, 0.88; p = 0.025) were associated with a lower likelihood of a high level of osteoporosis risk. In conclusion, osteoporosis risk is highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients. Improved HL, DDL, education, WC, albumin, Hb, and Hct levels should be considered in preventing hemodialysis patients from developing osteoporosis.

Abstract
Fracture is associated with osteopenia after osteoporosis. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is common in inflammatory diseases. NLR can be used as an effective clinical tool to assess postmenopausal osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to further explore the relationship between elevated NLR and the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 80 patients with osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture in Baoding Second Central Hospital from 2017 to 2020 were selected as the research objects. This study included a series of pretreatment factors, mainly including white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and the general condition of the patients. Statistical methods included Pearson chi-square test, Spearman correlation test, logistic regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. According to Pearson chi-square test, Spearman correlation test, univariate/multivariate logistic regression analysis, the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture was significantly correlated with NLR (P < .001). NLR (odds ratio [OR] = 13.229, 95% CI: 4.167-41.998, P < .001) was a significant independent risk factor for osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture. receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to detect the specificity and sensitivity. The level of NLR has an important influence on the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture. The higher the level of NLR, the more serious the osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture.

Abstract
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disorder with a higher incidence in the elderly and has become a major public health concern all over the world. Therefore, it is urgent to investigate the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In this study, the osteoporosis animal model was established, and then rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were cultured. The results showed that PHF8 expression was decreased in osteoporosis rats compared to controls. Overexpression of PHF8 promoted BMSC osteogenic differentiation and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. In addition, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in BMSCs was inhibited in osteoporosis rats, which was rescued by overexpression of PHF8. After treatment with the Wnt pathway antagonist, the improved osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs induced by overexpression of PHF8 was blocked. Collectively, our data revealed that the decreased expression of PHF8 in osteoporosis rats suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which was then restored by PHF8 overexpression. Furthermore, the inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in BMSCs suppressed osteogenic differentiation. Thus, these findings indicated that PHF8 plays a role in osteogenic differentiation through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Elderly women with osteoporosis are at risk of falls and fractures. OBJECTIVE To compare the intrinsic factors of falls, including ankle evaluation, in a group of elderly women in treatment for osteoporosis compared with a control group. METHODS A cross-sectional study of elderly women in treatment for osteoporosis (TG) was paired with a control group (CG) not in treatment. All groups completed a questionnaire and underwent a bone mineral density test; the mini-mental state examination (MMSE); physical performance tests; lower-limb strength and power, ankle, and muscle architecture evaluations; and a physiological profile assessment (PPA). RESULTS A total of 128 women were included (68 TG, 60 CG); the mean age was 71.55 ± 3.07 years; TG had a worse performance in the intrinsic factors in the MMSE, plantarflexions range of motion, gait speed, plantarflexions peak isometric strength, and short physical performance battery (p < 0.05 for all). PPA stratification (proprioception and lower-limb strength) presented a greater risk of falls in the TG, with proprioception increasing the risk by 2.4 times. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing treatment for osteoporosis are influenced by intrinsic factors of falls, many being present in the CG. PPA and ankle strength and flexibility tests are more discriminative for evaluating fall risks in patients in treatment for osteoporosis.

Abstract
A substantial proportion of the population of females in India falls in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups. One of the complications associated with older age in women is the weakening of bones and the fall in bone mineral density (BMD). This has a severe debilitating consequence in a woman’s life and leads to reduced quality of life along with a greater incidence of fractures. If the fracture involves the hip or the vertebrae, it can cause immobility and be devastating. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is linked with the deficiency of estrogen that occurs with the cessation of the function of the ovaries as age progresses. The function of estrogen in the bone remodeling process is very well understood after years of research; estrogen plays a part in both the formation of bone as well as the prevention of the resorption of bone. A diagnosis can be made by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). It is the gold standard and can spot low bone density at particular sites. The treatment options are selected according to the severity and rate of progression and factors pertaining to each patient. All postmenopausal women should be made aware of this disorder, and they should be encouraged to cultivate a healthy lifestyle through the implementation of a proper diet and inculcation of a regular exercise routine. Smoking and drinking alcohol should be limited, and calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be started in all women of the postmenopausal age group with or without osteoporosis. In patients who have been diagnosed with the disorder, pharmacological intervention is done. Drugs should be selected based on their side effects and contradictions. Follow-up is essential, and patient compliance should be carefully monitored. This article attempts to review the existing literature on this very prevalent disorder to spread awareness about it so that all postmenopausal women can take the necessary steps to prevent the weakening of their bones, and deal with its progression.

LncRNA BC083743 Silencing Exacerbated Osteoporosis by Regulating the miR-103-3p/SATB2 Axis to Inhibit Osteogenic Differentiation. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2022; 2022:7066759. [PMID: 35769281 PMCID: PMC9236849 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7066759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Objective The target of the present paper was to reveal the influence of LncRNA BC083743 on osteogenesis in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Methods Serum specimens from osteoporotic patients and normal subjects were collected to isolate hBMSCs from femoral head tissue. The levels of BC083743 and miR-103-3p in serum and hBMSCs were measured by QRT-PCR. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity test and alizarin red dyeing were used to identify ALP activity and mineralization forming ability of hBMSCs after transfection with si-BC083743 (siRNA-targeting BC083743). In addition, QRT-PCR and immunoblotting were conducted to identify the expressing levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) in hBMSCs. Dual-luciferase reporter gene and RNA pull-down assays were employed to substantiate the binding of BC083743 to miR-103-3p and miR-103-3p to SATB2. Results BC083743 expression was significantly downregulated in sera from patients with osteoporosis, and osteogenic differentiation-related genes and BC083743 expression were obviously upregulated as the time to osteogenic differentiation increased. BC083743 knockdown hindered the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. BC083743 was aimed at miR-103-3p and miR-103-3p inhibitors partially reversed the inhibitory effect of BC083743 downregulation on hBMSCs osteogenesis. BC083743 silencing downregulated SATB2 through uptake of miR-103-3p, thereby inhibiting hBMSCs osteogenesis to exacerbate osteoporosis. Conclusion BC083743/miR-103-3p/SATB2 axis inhibited osteogenic differentiation and exacerbated osteoporosis, which may offer brand-new molecular aims for the treatment of clinical osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is maintained by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Disruption of bone homeostasis due to excessive osteoclastogenesis or reduced osteogenesis results in various disorders, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis. Receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) stimulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway is essential in osteoclastogenesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the novel effects of carnosol, an active compound found in Rosmarinus officinalis, on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. TRAP staining showed that carnosol significantly inhibited osteoclasts differentiation of bone marrow monocytes and RAW264.7 cells. Western blot results showed that the protein expression levels of osteoclastogenesis-associated genes, including cathepsin K, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and MMP-9, were markedly inhibited by carnosol, which may have suppressed osteoclast function. Furthermore, western blot and immunofluorescent staining results revealed that carnosol markedly suppressed the phosphorylation of p65 induced by RANKL and blocked its nuclear translocation, indicating the suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway. H&E staining and micro-CT results showed that in vivo treatment with carnosol significantly attenuated ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice. In conclusion, the present study indicated that carnosol may suppress osteoclastogenesis both in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Carnosol may therefore be a potential novel therapeutic candidate for the clinical treatment of osteoclast-related disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether and how the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) sponges microRNA-96 (miR-96) to achieve the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). METHODS Protein levels were detected by Western blot. Mineralized bone matrix formation was studied by alizarin red staining. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1, miR-96, and osteogenesis-related Messenger RNA expression was assessed by Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The interactions between miR-96 and osterix (Osx), MALAT1, and miR-96 were determined by luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS The expression of MALAT1 was upregulated whereas that of miR-96 was downregulated in osteogenic hBMSCs. In addition, the expression of MALAT1 significantly decreased whereas that of miR-96 increased in the hBMSCs of osteoporosis (OP) patients. qRT-PCR and alizarin red staining assays showed that MALAT1 silencing or miR-96 overexpression inhibits hBMSC osteogenic differentiation and vice versa. overexpression of miR-96 reversed the promotive effect of MALAT1 on the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Dual luciferase report assay verified that miR-96 is a regulatory target of MALAT1 and that Osx is a gene target of miR-96. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the results demonstrate that MALAT1 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by regulating the miR-96/Osx axis. Our study provides novel mechanistic insights into the critical role of lncRNA MALAT1 as a microRNA sponge in OP patients and sheds new light on lncRNA-directed diagnostics and therapeutics in OP.

[PMID: 35477558 PMCID: PMC9044867 DOI: 10.1186/s13071-022-05257-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background More than one-third of the total world population is infected by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). T. gondii has been linked to various diseases, such as cancer, mental disorders, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), etc. However, the effects of T. gondii infection on the risk of osteoporosis are unclear. Our study aimed to uncover evidence to determine whether patients exposed to T. gondii have an increased or decreased risk of osteoporosis in people with abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) by using case–control study. Methods A total of 729 patients, including 316 osteopenia and 413 osteoporosis patients of Han Chinese ancestry were selected in the study. Their blood samples were collected and the levels of specific IgG antibodies against T. gondii were measured using ELISA assay. We obtained some information about the patients from the medical record that included demographic indexes and clinical data. A logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of T. gondii infection on femur osteoporosis, lumbar osteoporosis and compound osteoporosis. Potential interaction was analyzed using multifactor dimensionality reduction software 1.0.0 (MDR 1.0.0). Results 113 positive patients with T. gondii infections have been detected, including 80 cases of osteoporosis and 33 cases of osteopenia, the infection rates of T. gondii were 19.37% (80/413) and 10.44% (33/316), respectively. The patients with T.gondii infections were at a 2.60 times higher risk of suffering from compound osteoporosis than those without T. gondii infections (OR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.54–4.39, P < 0.001), but not associated with femur osteoporosis (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.43–2.34, P = 0.989) and lumbar osteoporosis (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.34–2.07, P = 0.705) after adjusting for the covariates. Moreover, a significantly higher risk of compound osteoporosis in the individuals with all two factors (T. gondii infection, Female) was observed compared with reference group (without T. gondii infection, male) under the interaction model (OR = 11.44, 95%CI = 5.44–24.05, P < 0.001). And the individuals with all two factors (T. gondii infection, over 70 years) exhibited a 8.14-fold higher possibility of developing compound osteoporosis compared with reference group (without T. gondii infection, under 70 years) (OR = 8.14, 95% CI 3.91–16.93, P < 0.001). We further stratified by age and sex, and found that women with T. gondii infection was more likely to develop compound osteoporosis than those without infection(OR = 3.12, 95% CI 1.67–5.81, P < 0.001), but we not found the association between T. gondii infection and compound osteoporosis in males (OR = 1.36, 95% CI 0.37–4.94, P = 0.645). Conclusions T. gondii infection is a risk factor for osteoporosis, especially compound osteoporosis. Meanwhile, it is very necessary for patients with osteoporosis to further diagnose and treat T. gondii infection, especially women. Graphical Abstract ![]()

[PMID: 35518938 PMCID: PMC9063410 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.854439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Object Eldecalcitol (ED-71) is a vitamin D analog for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, inconsistent results have been reported in this regard. Hence, this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ED-71 for osteoporosis. Methods The PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched to identify potential trials from inception until April 2021. The investigated outcomes included bone mineral density and fractures at various sites, and potential adverse events. The pooled effect estimates were calculated using weighted mean difference (WMD) and relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using the random-effects model. Results Eight RCTs involving 2368 patients were selected for the final meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that ED-71 were associated with a higher level of femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD) (WMD: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.24-1.60; P = 0.008), while it had no significant effect on lumbar spine BMD (WMD: 1.09; 95% CI: -0.11 to 2.30; P = 0.076) and hip BMD (WMD: 1.12; 95% CI: -0.16 to 2.40; P = 0.088). Moreover, the use of ED-71 could protect against the risk of all osteoporotic fracture (RR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.55-0.88; P = 0.003) and vertebral fracture (RR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.55-0.98; P = 0.038), while it did not affect the risk of nonvertebral fracture (RR: 0.53; 95%CI: 0.23-1.23; P = 0.140). The subgroup analyses found that the effects of ED-71 were superior to those of alfacalcidol on both BMD and fracture results. Moreover, the use of ED-71 plus bisphosphonate was associated with a greater improvement in BMD at various sites compared with bisphosphonate alone. Finally, ED-71 was associated with an increased risk of increased urine calcium level (RR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.33-2.15; P < 0.001). Conclusion This study found that the use of ED-71 could improve BMD and fractures at various sites, especially compared with alfacalcidol or a combination with bisphosphonate for patients with osteoporosis.

Improvement of Peri-Implant Repair in Estrogen-Deficient Rats Fed a Cafeteria Diet and Treated with Risedronate Sodium. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11040578. [PMID: 35453776 PMCID: PMC9025115 DOI: 10.3390/biology11040578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Postmenopausal osteoporosis, characterized by an imbalance in the remodeling cycle in which bone resorption exceeds bone formation, affects a large part of the population seeking rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants, making the prognosis of these patients unfavorable. It is estimated that approximately 99 million people over the age of 50 were diagnosed with osteoporosis in the United States in 2010. A range of drugs are used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, aiming to prevent skeletal fractures in individuals with this osteometabolic disorder. Bisphosphonates are widely prescribed drugs to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and decrease the risk of skeletal fractures in patients with osteoporosis, with good results in this regard. However, little attention has been paid to the impact that the mechanism of action of this drug generates on the bone repair process, and more scientific evidence is needed to better understand the role of this drug in the peri-implant repair process. Abstract (1) Background: Postmenopausal osteoporosis combined with an unhealthy lifestyle can lead to the development of metabolic syndrome, a common condition in individuals requiring oral rehabilitation. Bisphosphonates are used to increase bone mineral density. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the action of this drug on the bone repair process in the jaws. The aim of this study was to evaluate the peri-implant repair of rats with estrogen deficiency and metabolic syndrome treated with risedronate sodium. (2) Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: SHAM: sham surgery; OVX/SM: ovariectomy combined with a cafeteria diet; OVX/SM/RIS: ovariectomy associated with a cafeteria diet and treatment with sodium risedronate. After 30 days, the animals underwent extraction of the upper first molars. Thirty days after the extraction, an implant was installed in the same region. Sixty days after the implant was installed, the animals were euthanized for biomechanical analysis and confocal microscopic analysis. After confirming the normal distribution of the sample data, a one-way ANOVA test was performed, followed by Tukey’s post-test, with a 5% significance level. (3) Results: Significant bone preservation was observed in the risedronate-treated group. Higher removal torque values were obtained by the risedronate-treated group. (4) Conclusions: Better biomechanical performance of the implants installed in the animals treated with risedronate sodium was observed.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis affects people worldwide. However, there are few validated tools for the early screening of osteoporosis in Vietnam. We set out to evaluate the performance of the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) and the osteoporosis screening tool for Chinese (OSTC) for the early screening of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Vietnamese women. Methods We analyzed retrospective data from 797 postmenopausal Vietnamese women. The bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar vertebrae (L1–L4) and the left and right femoral necks of all participants were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Osteoporosis was defined as the BMD (T-score) < -2.5. The OSTA and OSTC scores were calculated from the age and weight of participants. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to compare the performance of the two tools with the BMD measurements by DXA at different anatomical sites. Results The rates of osteoporosis determined by BMD varied between anatomical sites, and ranged from 43.4% to 54.7% in the lumbar vertebrae and 29.2% and 8.9% in the left and right femoral necks, respectively. For the vertebrae, the area under the curve (AUC) for OSTA ranged from 70.9% to 73.9% and for OSTC ranged from 68.7% to 71.6%. The predictive value of both tools was higher for femoral necks, with the AUC of OSTA for the left and right femoral necks being 80.0% and 85.8%, respectively. The corresponding figures for OSTC were 80.5% and 86.4%, respectively. The highest sensitivity and specificity of OSTA were 74.6% and 81.4%, while these figures for OSTC were 73.9% and 82.6%, respectively. Conclusion OSTA and OSTC were shown to be useful self-assessment tools for osteoporosis detection in Vietnam postmenopausal women. Further research is encouraged to determine the applicability of tools for other populations and settings.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been widely reported to play an important role in osteoporosis (OP), particularly in diabetes-related OP. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of AGEs on osteoblast function and the underlying mechanisms. The level of bone mineral density (BMD), serum AGEs and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured in patients with OP and healthy individuals, and the correlation between AGE levels and BMD or FBG was then analyzed. For the in vitro experiments, the hFOB1.19 osteoblast cell line was cultured in medium containing AGEs and serum from healthy individuals or patients with OP, and with or without type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cell proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, apoptosis and ferroptosis were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays, Alizarin red and TUNEL staining, iron indicator, lipid peroxidation tests and western blot analysis, respectively. In a separate set of experiments, the ferroptosis inhibitor, deferoxamine (DFO), was also added to the culture medium of cells treated with AGEs and serum from patients with OP and T2DM. The results demonstrated that patients with OP had a higher level of serum AGEs and FBG compared with that in healthy individuals. The level of serum AGEs in patients with OP was negatively correlated with BMD, but was positively correlated with FBG. In addition, AGEs and serum from patients with OP markedly inhibited hFOB1.19 cell proliferation, ALP production and mineralized nodule formation. Apoptosis and ferroptosis were significantly promoted by AGEs and serum from patients with OP. Moreover, serum from OP patients with T2DM caused stronger effect than that from OP patients with normal FBG. However, DFO reversed the effects induced by AGEs and serum from patients with OP and T2DM on hFOB1.19 cells. Collectively, AGEs could disrupt the functions of osteoblasts by inducing cell ferroptosis, thus contributing to OP.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone-related disease that results from impaired bone formation and excessive bone resorption. The potential value of adipokines has been investigated previously, due to their influence on osteogenesis. However, the osteogenic effects induced by omentin-1 remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to determine the regulatory effects of omentin-1 on osteoblast viability and differentiation, as well as to explore the underlying molecular mechanism. The present study investigated the effects of omentin-1 on the viability and differentiation of mouse pre-osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) using quantitative and qualitative measures. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to assess the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells following treatment with different doses of omentin-1. Omentin-1 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) inhibitor were added to osteogenic induction mediums in different ways to assess their effect. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining of MC3T3-E1 cells treated with omentin-1 and/or BMP inhibitor were used to examine the effects of omentin-1 on differentiation and mineralization. Western blotting was used to further explore its potential mechanism, and to study the role of omentin-1 on the viability and differentiation of osteoblasts. The results showed that omentin-1 altered the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Omentin-1 treatment significantly increased the expression of members of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. In the omentin-1 group, the ALP activity of the MC3T3-E1 cells was increased, and the ARS staining area was also increased. The mRNA and protein expression levels of BMP2, Runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen1, osteopontin, osteocalcin and osterix in the omentin-1 group were also significantly upregulated. All these effects were reversed following treatment with SIS3 HCl. These results demonstrated that omentin-1 can significantly promote osteoblast viability and differentiation via the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, thereby promoting bone formation and preventing osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background The incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures is increasing every year. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can shed new light on the treatment of osteoporosis. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of paeoniflorin in promoting osteogenic differentiation of an osteoblast precursor cell line (MC3T3-E1). Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in osteogenic induction medium (OIM) and OIM combined with different concentrations of paeoniflorin. The optimal dose of paeoniflorin was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Then, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining were performed to assess the osteogenic capacity of paeoniflorin. The transcription of osteogenic genes and the expression of osteogenic proteins were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The transcription of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway genes and proteins was assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Finally, Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), a Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibitor, was used to identify whether the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was involved in the osteogenic differentiation of paeoniflorin. Osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells was identified by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Results At concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM, paeoniflorin was not cytotoxic to MC3T3-E1 cells. Paeoniflorin significantly increased the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, paeoniflorin significantly increased osteogenic differentiation gene and protein expression. Through bioinformatic analysis, paeoniflorin-affected genes were found to be involved in different signaling pathways, such as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Paeoniflorin enhanced β-catenin and CyclinD1 expression compared with that of the control groups. DKK-1 partially reversed the promoting effects of paeoniflorin in promoting osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, paeoniflorin inhibited the osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells. Conclusion Paeoniflorin promotes osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Paeoniflorin is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone mineral density screening and clinical risk factors are important to stratify individuals for increased risk of fracture. In a population with no history of fractures or baseline bone density measurement, black women were less likely to be screened than white counterparts prior to hip fracture. PURPOSE To evaluate overall BMD (bone mineral density) screening rates within two years of hip fracture and to identify any disparities for osteoporosis screening or treatment in a female cohort who were eligible for screening under insurance and national recommendations. METHODS Data were obtained from 1,109 female patients listed in the Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet) database, which consists of multiple health partner systems in Louisiana and Texas. Patients < 65 years old or with a history of hip fracture or osteoporosis diagnosis, screening or treatment more than 2 years before hip fracture were removed. RESULTS Only 223 (20.1%) females were screened within the two years prior to hip fracture. Additionally, only 23 (10%) of the screened patients received treatment, despite 187 (86.6%) patients being diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Screening rates reached a maximum of 27.9% in the 75-80 age group, while the 90 + age group had the lowest screening rates of 12%. We found a quadratic relationship between age and screening rates, indicating that the screening rate increases in age until age 72 and then decreases starkly. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found that black patients had significantly decreased screening rates compared to white patients (adjusted OR = .454, 95% CI = .227-.908, p value = .026) which held in general and for patient ages 65-97. CONCLUSION Despite national recommendations, overall BMD screening rates among women prior to hip fracture are low. If individuals are not initially screened when eligible, they are less likely to ever be screened prior to fracture. Clinicians should address racial disparities by recommending more screening to otherwise healthy black patients above the age of 65. Lastly, treatment rates need to increase among those diagnosed with osteoporosis since all patients went on to hip fracture.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the results of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) in spinal fragility fractures (osteoporosis/tumor), analyzing possible complications. Method: We evaluated 33 patients with spinal fractures (FXV) due to osteoporosis or tumor who underwent PV between January and November 2021. A physical examination was performed, obtaining the history and risk factors for bone fragility/tumor and a radiological evaluation of the spine to verify FXV. Genant’s semiquantitative method was used for postoperative classification, the VAS score, and a disability questionnaire (ODI). A radiologist evaluated tomographic control to quantify vertebral filling and extravasation, determining where they occurred. Results: 46 vertebrae of 33 patients were operated on, with a mean age of 71 years, and 11 patients with more than one level of surgery. Of the total, 13 patients had tumor fractures, and 20 had fractures due to insufficiency. PMMA extravasation was observed in 31 vertebrae, most frequently in the External Vertebral Venous Plexus (23), Discal Body (9), Anterior Epidural Recess (4), Pulmonary Vessels (4), Internal Vertebral Venous Plexus (3), Inferior Cava (2), Adipose Plane (2) and Azygos Vein (1). No patient had clinical complications. Furthermore, the mean preoperative VAS was eight, the postoperative one was 3, the mean preoperative ODI was 56, and the postoperative one was 30. Conclusion: PMMA extravasation was frequent in several locations and levels without any clinical complications. VP proved to be effective in improving pain and function.

Abstract
Purpose Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common and debilitating chronic disease, but it has just no cure options. The objective of this study was to identify genes associated with osteoporosis and reveal potential therapeutic targets. Methods Expression profiles from GSE13850 and GSE56815 datasets were combined for differential expression analysis. Extraction of intersecting genes from the combined datasets and the differentially expressed genes in GSE56814 were performed to construct a multi-scale embedded gene co-expression network analysis (MEGENA) to obtain module genes. Module genes with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) >0.60 were chosen to construct the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model to obtain feature genes. A regulated network was constructed using differentially expressed micro-RNAs (miRNAs) in GSE74209 and feature genes. Finally, key genetic pathways and pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were identified and explored. Results The commonly identified differentially expressed genes involve oxidative phosphorylation and caffeine metabolism. We identified 66 modules with 2354 module genes based on MEGENA. CARD8, FOXO4, IL1R2, MPHOSPH6, MPRIP, MYOM1, PRR5L and YIPF4 were identified as feature genes by the LASSO model. Furthermore, predicted miRNA target genes included 8 genes associated with PMOP. The largest AUC was observed for FOXO4, which was found at the nexus of feature genes and miRNA-regulated genes and which correlated with the upregulation of dendritic cells. Moreover, FOXO4 was found to be involved in ABC transporters, as well as cocaine and nicotine addiction. Conclusion FOXO4 may serve as potential biomarker and therapeutic target for PMOP.

[PMID: 35154825 PMCID: PMC8828324 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4767793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Revised: 11/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The determinants of body composition are likely to vary geographically due to the diversity of genetic and environmental factors between populations. Age-related trends in body composition in a population help understanding the health issues that are linked with different body compartments. In general, such studies are scarce in the South Asian region and this cross-sectional study examined the age-related trends in body composition in a selected group of healthy women aged 20-80 years in Sri Lanka. The study included randomly selected 784 healthy women aged 20-80 years from the Southern province, Sri Lanka. Women were divided into five age groups: 20-29 years (n = 79), 30-39 years (n = 144), 40-49 years (n = 185), 50-59 years (n = 281), and ≥60 years (n = 85). Total body bone mineral density (TBBMD, g/cm2), total body bone mineral content (TBBMC, g), total body fat mass (TBFM, kg), and total body lean mass (TBLM, kg) were measured with central-type dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multivariate analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc test was performed. The age-related trends of TBBMD and TBBMC were similar with a peak in 40-49-year age group. Between 50 and 59 and ≥60 age categories, TBBMD and TBBMC showed a rapid decline: 16% and 23%, respectively. The rate of TBBMD decline was 0.008 g/cm2 per year after 50 years. TBFM increased by 14% between age categories 20-29 and 40-49 years and remained unchanged after 49 years. TBLM increased by 15% between age groups 20-29 and 40-49 years and then decreased by 13% between age categories 50-59 and ≥60 years. Of the 13% decrease in TBLM after 50 years, 9% loss occurred after 59 years. The trends observed help to understand the occurrence of diseases linked with body composition.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1014431. [PMID: 36425469 PMCID: PMC9679019 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1014431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the associations of genetic variants in the semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A) signaling pathway genes, including SEMA3A, NRP1, PLXNA1, PLXNA2 and PLXNA3 with osteoporosis (OP) risk and bone mineral density (BMD) in a Chinese Han older adult population. STUDY DESIGN AND METHOD A two-stage design was adopted. Total of 47.8kb regions in the 5 genes were sequenced using targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in the discovery stage, and the discovered OP-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were further genotyped using improved multiple linkage detection reaction technique in the validation stage. Methods of ALP/TRAP staining, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and cell proliferation and apoptosis assays were performed with MC3T3-E1 and RAW 264.7 cell lines to clarify biological effects of observed functional variants in cell lines responsible for bone mass remodeling. RESULTS Total of 400 postmenopausal women (211 OP cases) were involved in the discovery stage, where 6 common and 4 rare genetic variants were found to be associated with OP risk. In the validation stage among another 859 participants (417 women, 270 OP cases), the PLXNA2 rs2274446 T allele was associated with reduced OP risk and increased femoral neck (FN) BMD compared to the C allele. Moreover, significant associations of NRP1 rs2070296 with FN BMD/OP risk and of NRP1 rs180868035 with lumbar spine and FN BMDs were also observed in the combination dataset analysis. Compared to the osteoblasts/osteoclasts transfected with the wild-type NRP1 rs180868035, those transfected with the mutant-type had reduced mRNA expression of osteoblastic genes (i.e., ALP, RUNX2, SP7 and OCN), while elevated mRNA expression of osteoclastic genes (i.e., TRAP, NFATc1 and CTSK). Furthermore, mutant NRP1 rs180868035 transfection inhibited osteoblast proliferation and osteoclast apoptosis, while promoted osteoclast proliferation and osteoblast apoptosis in corresponding cell lines. CONCLUSION Genetic variants located in NRP1 and PLXNA2 genes were associated with OP risk and BMD. The NRP1 rs180868035 affects bone metabolism by influencing osteoblasts and osteoclasts differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis.

Characteristics Associated with Acute-Phase Response following First Zoledronic Acid Infusion in Brazilian Population with Osteoporosis. J Osteoporos 2021; 2021:9492883. [PMID: 35003621 PMCID: PMC8731262 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9492883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate characteristics associated with acute-phase response (APR) following first zoledronic acid infusion in a Brazilian cohort. This retrospective cohort study enrolled all adults with osteoporosis who underwent a first zoledronic acid infusion at our centre between June 2015 and June 2019. Clinical demographics (age, sex, diabetes, smoking, body mass index, and previous oral bisphosphonate use) and laboratory data (calcium, parathyroid hormone, renal function, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen [CTX], both before and after infusion) were compared between patients with and without APR. We evaluated association magnitude between the presence of APR and clinical variables through logistic regression. This study enrolled 400 patients (women, 80%). APR was observed in 24.5% (n = 98) of patients. The mean symptom duration in days was 3.5 ± 2.8. Patients with APR were younger (67 ± 12 vs. 71 ± 11 years; p=0.001), used oral bisphosphonates less frequently (34% × 50%; p=0.005), and had greater baseline CTX (0.535 ng/mL [0.375, 0.697] × 0.430 [0.249, 0.681]; p=0.03) and ΔCTX (-69 [-76; -50] × -54 [-72; -23]; p=0.002) than those without APR. The other variables were similar between the groups. Only ΔCTX was associated (OR, 0.62; 95% CI 0.41-0.98) with APR after accounting for age and bisphosphonate use. APR occurred in 24.5% of the cohort. Younger age and absence of prior oral bisphosphonate use were associated with APR following first zoledronic acid infusion. APR was associated with ΔCTX (but no other variables) after adjusting for these factors.
