Abstract
Objective Compressive force has been found to be catabolic to alveolar bone during orthodontic tooth movement. This study quantified the fusion of mononuclear RAW 264.7 cells (a murine osteoclastic-like cell line) into multinucleated osteoclasts under a hydrostatic pressure-generated mechanical compression-the new model of various magnitudes and durations. Methods RAW 264.7 cells were subjected to 0.3, 0.6 or 0.9 g/cm2 of compressive force by an acrylic cylinder custom-made by laser cutting or no compressive force for 4 days during osteoclastogenic induction. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were quantified. For the release from force experiment, osteoclastogenesis was induced by 0.6 g/cm2 mechanical stimuli for 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 days. Cell viability, TRAP-positive multinucleated cells, DCSTAMP and Cathepsin K (CTSK) gene expression were evaluated 4 days after release from force. Results Compressive force at 0.6 and 0.9 g/cm2 significantly increase the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells (P < 0.05). Release from continuous mechanical compression after 4 days significantly elevated the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells and DCSTAMP and CTSK mRNA expression, with no adverse effects on cell viability (P < 0.05). Conclusions Continuous stimulation with compressive force induced osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 cells by enhancing DCSTAMP and CTSK expression, which provides new understanding of bone remodeling during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to clarify the anti-osteoporosis mechanism of Cnidii Fructus (CF) via network pharmacology and experimental verification. METHODS HPLC fingerprints combined with HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis confirmed common components (CCS) of CF. Then, network pharmacology was used to investigate the anti-OP mechanism of CF, including potential anti-OP phytochemicals, potential targets, and related signalling pathway. Molecular docking analysis was carried on investigating the protein-ligand interactions. Finally, in vitro experiments were performed to verify anti-OP mechanism of CF. RESULTS In this study, 17 compounds from CF were identified by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and HPLC fingerprints and then were further screened key compounds and potential targets by PPI analysis, ingredient-target network and hub network. The key compounds were SCZ10 (Diosmin), SCZ16 (Pabulenol), SCZ6 (Osthenol), SCZ8 (Bergaptol) and SCZ4 (Xanthotoxol). The potential targets were SRC, MAPK1, PIK3CA, AKT1 and HSP90AA1. Molecular docking further analysis indicated that the five key compounds have a good binding affinity with related proteins. CCK8 assays, TRAP staining experiments, and ALP activity assays concluded that osthenol and bergaptol inhibited osteoclast formation and promoted osteoblast bone formation to improve osteoporosis. CONCLUSION Based on network pharmacology and in vitro experiments analysis, this study revealed that CF possessed an anti-OP effect, and its potential therapeutic effect may be involved with osthenol and bergaptol from CF.

Abstract
This study is the first to investigate the process of osteoclast (OCL) differentiation, its potential functions, and the associated mRNA and signalling pathways in embryonic palatal bone. Our findings suggest that OCLs are involved in bone remodelling, bone marrow cavity formation, and blood vessel formation in embryonic palatal bone. We observed TRAP-positive OCLs at embryonic day 16.5 (E16.5), E17.5, and E18.5 at the palatal process of the palate (PPP) and posterior and anterior parts of the palatal process of the maxilla (PPMXP and PPMXA, respectively), with OCL differentiation starting 2 days prior to TRAP positivity. By comparing the key periods of OCL differentiation between PPMX and PPP (E14.5, E15.5, and E16.5) using RNA-seq data of the palates, we found that the PI3K-AKT and MAPK signalling pathways were sequentially enriched, which may play critical roles in OCL survival and differentiation. Csf1r, Tnfrsff11a, Ctsk, Fos, Tyrobp, Fcgr3, and Spi1 were significantly upregulated, while Pik3r3, Tgfbr1, and Mapk3k7 were significantly downregulated, in both PPMX and PPP. Interestingly, Tnfrsff11b was upregulated in PPMX but downregulated in PPP, which may regulate the timing of OCL appearance. These results contribute to the limited knowledge regarding mRNA-specific steps in OCL differentiation in the embryonic palatal bone.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic metabolic orthopedic disorder prevalent in elderly people, that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass. Although many therapeutics have been adopted for OP treatment, many of them are still not well satisfied clinical requirements and therefore development of novel therapeutics is of great significance. In this work, a novel bone-targeting drug self-frame delivery system (DSFDS) with high drug loading efficiency and pH responsive drug release was fabricated by condensation of curcumin (Cur), amino group terminated polyethylene glycol (NH2-PEG), and alendronate (ALN) using hexachlorocyclotriphosphonitrile (HCCP) as the linker. The final product named as HCCP-Cur-PEG-ALN (HCPA NPs) displayed excellent water dispersity with small size (181.9 ± 25.9 nm). Furthermore, the drug loading capacity of Cur can reach 25.8%, and Cur can be released from HCPA NPs under acidic environment. Owing to the introduction of ALN, HCPA NPs exhibited strong binding to HAp in vitro and excellent bone-targeting effect in vivo. Results from cellular and biochemical analyses revealed that HCPA NPs could effectively inhibit the formation and differentiation function of osteoclasts. More importantly, we also demonstrated that HCPA NPs could effectively reduce bone loss in OVX mice with low toxicity to major organs. The above results clearly demonstrated that HCPA NPs are promising for OP treatment. Given the simplicity and well designability of fabrication strategy, explicit therapy efficacy and low toxicity of HCPA NPs, we believe that this work should be of great interest for fabrication of various DSFDS to deal with many diseases.

Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15071694. [PMID: 37049535 PMCID: PMC10097349 DOI: 10.3390/nu15071694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Exercise is effective in promoting and maintaining bone mass. The aim of this study was to detect the exercise-induced metabolic changes in bone tissue of zebrafish. (2) Methods: Thirty-eight zebrafish (Danio rerio, six months old) were analyzed. The exercise group (n = 19) received 8 weeks of counter-current swimming training. The control group (n = 19) was not subjected to exercise. Mineralization was quantified, and alkaline phosphatase (Alp) and anti-tartrate acid phosphatase (Trap) activities were estimated (n = 12). The metabolomics (n = 12) and transcriptomics (n = 14) data of bone tissue were used for the integration analyses. (3) Results: The results showed that the exercise training improved the bone mineralization of zebrafish, e.g., the exercise group (5.74 × 104 ± 7.63 × 103) had a higher mean optical density than the control group (5.26 × 104 ± 8.56 × 103, p = 0.046) for the caudal vertebrae. The amount of mineralized matrix in scales of the exercised zebrafish was also higher (0.156 ± 0.012 vs. 0.102 ± 0.003, p = 0.005). Both histological staining and biochemical analysis revealed increased Alp activity (0.81 ± 0.26 vs. 0.76 ± 0.01, p = 0.002) and decreased Trap activity (1.34 ± 0.01 vs. 1.36 ± 0.01, p = 0.005) in the exercise group. A total of 103 different metabolites (DMs, VIP ≥ 1, fold change (FC) ≥ 1.20 or ≤0.83, p < 0.050) were identified. Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis were the significantly enriched metabolic pathways (p < 0.050). A total of 35 genes (q ≤ 0.050 (BH), |Log2FC| ≥ 0.5) were coenriched with the 103 DMs in the four identified pathways. Protein–protein interaction network analysis of the 35 genes showed that entpd3, entpd1, and cmpk2 were the core genes. (4) Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis contributed to exercise-induced improvements in bone mass.

Abstract
The number of the patients with chronic kidney disease is now increasing in the world. The pathophysiology of renal hyperparathyroidism is closely associated with Klotho-FGF-endocrine axes, which must be solved definitively as early as possible. It was revealed that the expression of fgf23 is activated by calciprotein particles, which induces vascular ossification. And it is well known that phosphorus overload directly increases parathyroid hormone and hyperparathyroid bone disease develops in those subjects. On the other hand, low turnover bone disease is often recently. Both the patients with chronic kidney disease suffering from hyperparathyroid bone disease or low turnover bone disease are associated with increased fracture risk. Micropetrosis may be one of the causes of increased fracture risk in the subjects with low turnover bone disease. In this chapter, we now describe the diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatments of renal hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been noted to contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. This study sought to investigate the mechanism of EZH2 in osteoclast (OCL) and osteoblast (OBL) differentiation (OCLD/OBLD) and bone destruction in RA. The animal model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was established, followed by arthritis index (AI) scoring and histological staining, and measurements of inflammatory cytokines levels. The number of OCLs was detected via Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and levels of OBL markers were determined by Western blot analysis. Trimethylated histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) expression and its enrichment in the Ndrg2 promoter were detected. Collaborative experiments were performed with GSK-J1 or sh-Ndrg2 in CIA mice with EZH2 knockdown. EZH2 was upregulated while Ndrg2 was downregulated in knee joint tissues of CIA mice. Silencing EZH2 reduced AI scores, pathological injury of the knee joint, levels of inflammatory cytokines, and TRAP-positive cells, and increased protein levels of RUNX2 and BMP2. EZH2 promoted H3K27me3 level in the Ndrg2 promoter to inhibit Ndrg2 transcription. H3K27me3 upregulation or Ndrg2 downregulation reversed the role of silencing EZH2 in bone destruction. Overall, EZH2 repressed OBLD and promoted OCLD to aggravate bone destruction in CIA mice through H3K27me3/Ndrg2.

Abstract
Meckel's cartilage is essential for the normal development of the mandible. The fate of the intermediate portion of Meckel's cartilage is unique as most of it disappears soon after birth except for the part that forms the sphenomandibular ligament. The mechanism of the disappearance of Meckel's cartilage is unknown; therefore, this study was designed to investigate the process of Meckel's cartilage degradation, focusing on cartilage matrix calcification and the appearance of chondroclasts. Developing mouse mandibles at embryonic days 15, 16, 17, and 18, and postnatal day 2 were processed for whole-mount staining with alcian blue and alizarin red. The mandibles on embryonic days 15, 16, 17, and 18 were fixed and embedded in paraffin. Adjacent sections were processed for von Kossa and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) histochemistry and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS). Calcification and the element concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, and carbon were examined with von Kossa histochemistry and SEM/EDS. The involvement of chondroclasts was investigated using TRAP histochemistry. The results demonstrated that the intermediate portion of Meckel's cartilage is resorbed by chondroclasts after chondrocyte hypertrophy and cartilage matrix calcification and that the mineral concentration of calcified Meckel's cartilage is comparable to that of the surrounding bone. This study contributes to the understanding of the mechanism of Meckel's cartilage resorption and provides useful insights into the development of the mandible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional (3-D) images of osteoclasts in vivo have been elusive, due to their large size and intricate morphology. The present study was designed to reconstruct the 3-D morphology of whole osteoclasts in developing mouse mandibles using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) array tomography. METHODS Mandibles of 16 days post coitum mouse embryos were fixed and embedded in epoxy resin after decalcification. Epoxy blocks were trimmed, and serial sections of 1 μm in thickness were cut with an ultramicrotome and mounted on glass microscope slides. Consecutive images of every fourth or fifth serial section were obtained by SEM after electron staining and platinum coating. Three dimensional reconstruction of osteoclasts was performed using these consecutive images. RESULTS Multinucleated osteoclasts were observed to cluster around developing bone in the embryonic mouse mandible. The outlines of osteoclasts and their sealing zones were identified in the serial sections. The reconstructed 3-D image revealed whole osteoclast morphology with the sealing zone. Osteoclasts were adherent to bone with the anchoring structure between the osteoclast and the bone. CONCLUSIONS SEM array tomography with our modification revealed 3-D imagery of a whole osteoclast and its sealing zone in vivo for the first time. This methodology could provide useful information on in vivo structures and dynamics of large cells, such as osteoclasts.

Curcuminoid (CRE-Ter)/Liposome as delivery platform for anti-osteoclastogenesis via NF-κB/ERK pathways in RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells through PLA foams. Heliyon 2021; 7:e07823. [PMID: 34611555 PMCID: PMC8477147 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e07823] [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: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Curcuminoid (CRE-Ter) is the active component of turmeric, and is widely understood to offer anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The drawbacks, however, include rapid metabolism and systemic elimination as well as minimal bioavailability. In an attempt to address the issue of bioavailability, this study seeks to encapsulate CRE-Ter in a liposome before its incorporation on PLA foams in order to inhibit the process of osteoclastogenesis which takes place in RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells. MAIN METHODS Having encapsulated the CRE-Ter into the liposomes, the influence of the release of liposomal CRE-Ter from PLA foams in order to inhibit the process of osteoclastogenesis in the case of RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells was investigated. By measuring the decline in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) content it was possible to evaluate the influence of CRE-Ter/Liposome upon osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Immunocytochemistry was employed to assess the marker for the monocyte/macrophage cells F4/80 content, while Western blots were used to evaluate the underlying mechanisms involved. KEY FINDINGS The findings demonstrate a novel method which employs tissue engineering scaffolds, which are produced to work alongside advanced additive manufacturing techniques with their basis in concepts from the field of alternative medicine. Initially, it was confirmed that CRE-Ter/Liposome at 20 μg/ml is able to inhibit the creation of multinucleated osteoclasts which are induced by the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in RAW 264.7 cells. It was shown that the CRE-Ter/liposome was able to increase the F4/80 content (F4/80 immunohistochemistry) in the RANKL treated RAW 264.7 cells. The TRAP content was lowered by the CRE-Ter/liposome along with the osteoclast-specific gene content such as cathepsin K, via the use of liposome-encapsulated PLA foams. When treated with CRE-Ter/liposome, RANKL-induced NF-κB and ERK components such as NF-κB-p65, ERK, phospho-NF-κB-p65, and phospho-ERK pathways were all suppressed. SIGNIFICANCE The successful encapsulation of CRE-Ter into the liposomes offered a new opportunity to provide a new inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis and offers the possibility of developing treatments capable of addressing diseases which concern abnormal bone lysis.
