Extracellular Vesicles from Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Suppress RANKL-Induced Osteoclast Differentiation via miR122-5p. Biochem Genet 2023:10.1007/s10528-023-10569-5.

Abstract
Researchers are increasingly interested in cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an alternative remedy for osteoporosis, with fewer side effects. Thus, we isolated and characterized extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (hMSCs) and investigated their inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Purified EVs were collected from the supernatant of hMSCs by tangential flow filtration. Characterization of EVs included typical evaluation of the size and concentration of EVs by nanoparticle tracking analysis and morphology analysis using transmission electron microscopy. hMSC-EVs inhibited RANKL-induced differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) into osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. F-actin ring formation and bone resorption were also reduced by EV treatment of osteoclasts. In addition, EVs decreased RANKL-induced phosphorylation of p38 and JNK and expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes in BMDMs treated with RANKL. To elucidate which part of the hMSC-EVs plays a role in the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation, we analyzed miRNA profiles in hMSC-EVs. The results showed that has-miR122-5p was present at significantly high read counts. Overexpression of miR122-5p in BMDMs significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and induced defects in F-actin ring formation and bone resorption. Our results also revealed that RANKL-induced phosphorylation of p38 and JNK and osteoclast-specific gene expression was decreased by miR122-5p transfection, which was consistent with the results of hMSC-EVs. These findings suggest that hMSC-EVs containing miR122-5p inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation via the downregulation of molecular mechanisms and could be a preventive candidate for destructive bone diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is becoming a major concern in the field of public health. The process of bone loss is insidious and does not directly induce obvious symptoms. Complications indicate an irreversible decrease in bone mass. The high-risk populations of osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women, elderly men, diabetic patients and obese individuals need regular bone mineral density testing and appropriate preventive treatment. However, the primary changes in these populations are different, increasing the difficulty of effective treatment of osteoporosis. Determining the core pathogenesis of osteoporosis helps improve the efficiency and efficacy of treatment among these populations. Oxidative stress is a common pathological state secondary to estrogen deficiency, aging, hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia. In this review, we divided oxidative stress into the direct effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the reduction of antioxidant enzyme activity to discuss their roles in the development of osteoporosis. ROS initiated mitochondrial apoptotic signaling and suppressed osteogenic marker expression to weaken osteogenesis. MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways mediated the positive effect of ROS on osteoclast differentiation. Antioxidant enzymes not only eliminate the negative effects of ROS, but also directly participate in the regulation of bone metabolism. Additionally, we also described the roles of proinflammatory factors and HIF-1α under the pathophysiological changes of inflammation and hypoxia, which provided a supplement of oxidative stress-induced osteoporosis. In conclusion, our review showed that oxidative stress was a common pathological state in a high-risk population for osteoporosis. Targeted oxidative stress treatment would greatly optimize the therapeutic schedule of various osteoporosis treatments.

Research on the Mechanism of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction for Osteoporosis Based on Systematic Biological Strategies. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7017610. [PMID: 36185080 PMCID: PMC9522519 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7017610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is an important health problem worldwide. Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (LDD) and its main ingredients may have a good clinical effect on osteoporosis. Meanwhile, its mechanism for treating osteoporosis needs to be further revealed in order to provide a basis for future drug development. Methods A systematic biological methodology was utilized to construct and analyze the LDD-osteoporosis network. After that, the human transcription data of LDD intervention in patients with osteoporosis and protein arrays data of LDD intervention in osteoporosis rats were collected. The human transcription data analysis, protein arrays data analysis, and molecular docking were performed to validate the findings of the prediction network (LDD-osteoporosis PPI network). Finally, animal experiments were conducted to verify the prediction results of systematic pharmacology. Results (1) LDD-osteoporosis PPI network shows the potential compounds, potential targets (such as ALB, IGF1, SRC, and ESR1), clusters, biological processes (such as positive regulation of calmodulin 1-monooxygenase activity, estrogen metabolism, and endothelial cell proliferation), and signaling and Reactome pathways (such as JAK-STAT signaling pathway, osteoclast differentiation, and degradation of the extracellular matrix) of LDD intervention in osteoporosis. (2) Human transcriptomics data and protein arrays data validated the findings of the LDD-osteoporosis PPI network. (3) The animal experiments showed that LDD can improve bone mineral density (BMD), increase serum estradiol (E2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, and upregulate Wnt3a and β-catenin mRNA expression (P < 0.05). (4) Molecular docking results showed that alisol A, dioscin, loganin, oleanolic acid, pachymic acid, and ursolic acid may stably bind to JAK2, ESR1, and CTNNB1. Conclusion LDD may have a therapeutic effect on osteoporosis through regulating the targets (such as ALB, IGF1, SRC, and ESR1), biological processes (such as positive regulation of calmodulin 1-monooxygenase activity, estrogen metabolism, and endothelial cell proliferation), and pathways (such as JAK-STAT signaling pathway, osteoclast differentiation, and degradation of the extracellular matrix) found in this research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modified Duhuo Jisheng Decoction (MDHJSD) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment of osteoporosis (OP), but its mechanism of action has not yet been clarified. This study aims to explore the mechanism of MDHJSD in OP through a combination of network pharmacology analysis and experimental verification. METHODS The active ingredients and corresponding targets of MDHJSD were acquired from the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. OP-related targets were acquired from databases, including Genecards, OMIM, Drugbank, CTD, and PGKB. The key compounds, core targets, major biological processes, and signaling pathways of MDHJSD that improve OP were identified by constructing and analysing the relevant networks. The binding affinities between key compounds and core targets were verified using AutoDock Vina software. A rat model of ovariectomized OP was used for the experimental verification. RESULTS A total of 100 chemical constituents, 277 targets, and 4734 OP-related targets of MDHJSD were obtained. Subsequently, five core components and eight core targets were identified in the analysis. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that overlapping targets were significantly enriched in the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) signaling pathway, an inflammation signaling pathway, which contained six of the eight core targets, including TNF-α, interleukin 6 (IL-6), transcription factor AP-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase 3, RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase, and caspase-3 (CASP3). Molecular docking analysis revealed close binding of the six core targets of the TNF signaling pathway to the core components. The results of experimental study show that MDHJSD can protect bone loss, inhibit the inflammatory response, and downregulate the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and CASP3 in ovariectomized rats. CONCLUSION The mechanism of MDHJSD in the treatment of OP may be related to the regulation of the inflammatory response in the bone tissue.

[PMID: 34362147 PMCID: PMC8348015 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10153364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Hemolytic anemia (HA) renders erythropoietic stress on the bone marrow and has been linked to osteoporosis. In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we examined this correlation by utilizing the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). We identified two cohorts, matching population with and without HA in a 1:4 ratio. A total of 2242 HA patients and 8968 non-HA patients were enrolled. Patients with HA had a significantly higher cumulative incidence (log-rank test p = 0.0073), higher incidence density (5.11 vs. 3.76 per 1000 persons-years), and a 1.31-fold risk of developing osteoporosis than non-HA patients (aHR = 1.31, 95% C.I. 1.04-1.63, p = 0.01). After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities, patients with factors including female (aHR = 2.57, 95% C.I. 2.05-3.22, p < 0.001), age > 65 (aHR = 9.25, 95% C.I. 7.46-11.50, p < 0.001), diagnosis of cholelithiasis (aHR = 1.76, 95% C.I. 1.20-2.58, p = 0.003) and peptic ulcer disease (aHR = 1.87, 95% C.I. 1.52-2.29, p < 0.001) had significantly higher risk of osteoporosis. We propose that this correlation may be related to increased hematopoietic stress, increased consumption of nitric oxide (NO) by hemolysis, and the inhibitory effects of iron supplements on osteogenesis through the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)/Osteoprotegerin pathway and the Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) factor. Our findings suggest that patients with hemolytic anemia are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis, and it would be in the patient's best interest for physicians to be aware of this potential complication and offer preventative measures.

Abstract
In recent decades, the mechanism underlying bone metabolic disorders based on energy metabolism has been heavily researched. Bone resorption by osteoclasts plays an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. However, the mechanism underlying the osteoclast energy metabolism disorder that interferes with bone homeostasis has not been determined. Bone resorption by osteoclasts is a process that consumes large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition to glucose, fatty acids and amino acids can also be used as substrates to produce energy through oxidative phosphorylation. In this review, we summarize and analyze the energy-based phenotypic changes, epigenetic regulation, and coupling with systemic energy metabolism of osteoclasts during the development and progression of osteoporosis. At the same time, we propose a hypothesis, the compensatory recovery mechanism (involving the balance between osteoclast survival and functional activation), which may provide a new approach for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
As a necessary trace element, iron is involved in many physiological processes. Clinical and basic studies have found that disturbances in iron metabolism, especially iron overload, might lead to bone loss and even be involved in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Hepcidin is a key regulator of iron homeostasis. However, the exact role of hepcidin in bone metabolism and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. In this study, we found that in postmenopausal osteoporosis cohort, the concentration of hepcidin in the serum was significantly reduced and positively correlated with bone mineral density. Ovariectomized (OVX) mice were then used to construct an osteoporosis model. Hepcidin overexpression in these mice significantly improved bone mass and rescued the phenotype of bone loss. Additionally, overexpression of hepcidin in OVX mice greatly reduced the number and differentiation of osteoclasts in vivo and in vitro. This study found that overexpression of hepcidin significantly inhibited ROS production, mitochondrial biogenesis, and PGC-1β expression. These data showed that hepcidin protected osteoporosis by reducing iron levels in bone tissue, and in conjunction with PGC-1β, reduced ROS production and the number of mitochondria, thus inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and bone absorption. Hepcidin could provide new targets for the clinical treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Corylin, a flavonoid isolated from the fruit of Psoralea corylifolia, has an osteogenic effect on osteoblasts in vitro and bone micromass ex vivo. However, the effect and mechanism of corylin in regulating osteoclastogenesis remain unknown. By using murine bone marrow macrophages as the osteoclast precursor, corylin was found to inhibit the receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF) κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation via down-regulating osteoclastic marker genes. In parallel, F-actin formation and osteoclast migration were diminished in corylin-treated cultured osteoclasts, and subsequently the expressions of osteoclastic proteins were suppressed: the suppression of protein expression was further illustrated by transcriptomic analysis. Furthermore, corylin inhibited the nuclear translocation of p65, giving rise to a restraint in osteoclastic differentiation through the attenuation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1). There was no obvious change in apoptosis when the RANKL-induce osteoclasts were cultured in the presence of corylin. The finding supports the potential development of corylin as an osteoclast inhibitor against osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effect of subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) on bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear, as do the linking mechanisms. This review aims to investigate the relationship between SH and bone loss in terms of the gender-dependent effects of SH on BMD. METHODS The PUBMED, EMBASE, OVID, MEDLINE, SINOMED and COCHRANE LIBRARY databases (inception to August 12, 2019) were searched for cohort studies investigating the effects of SH on BMD. Eligible studies were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis using a random-effects model meta-analysis with the Cochrane systematic evaluation method. RESULTS Twelve cohort studies involving 275,086 participants who were followed for 3 months to 13 years were included based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated that SH did not affect lumbar spine BMD in females or males. However, a significant reduction in femoral neck BMD was observed in females, but not in males. Further, there was a significant increase in hip fractures events in both females and males with SH. CONCLUSIONS The present findings indicate that SH is significantly associated with hip fracture risk, and therefore, it is important to assess the risk of fractures in patients with SH. Future studies should focus on methods for accurately determining this risk in patients with SH and providing them with timely and efficient diagnosis and treatment.

Ovariohysterectomized (OHE) female dogs do not develop the osteopenia and osteoporosis associated with decreasing estrogen in post-menopausal women, possibly due to post-OHE bone mineral density retention through a mechanism that remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate this mechanism by investigating estradiol (E2) and bone markers. Samples were collected from 56 OHE and 43 intact bitches (0.33 to 17.58 years old) and analyzed for serum E2, osteoclast-secreted cysteine protease cathepsin K (CTK), and N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx) by ELISA. OHE and intact bitches showed no significant difference in serum E2 or NTx, and there was no correlation between serum E2 and NTx and age and time since OHE. Intact bitches showed a very low correlation between E2 and NTx, but OHE bitches showed no correlation, and serum CTK was generally undetectable in both groups. Our findings suggest the influence of gonadal hormones on bone metabolism does not work effectively in dogs; this is consistent with a shorter duration of exposure to E2 in bitches (through the 4-to-8-month anestrus phase) than women.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is correlated with osteopenia primarily due to low bone formation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a known anabolic agent for bone, the anabolic effects of which are partially mediated through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In the present study, we first determined the utility of intermittent PTH treatment in a streptozotocin-induced T1D mouse model. It was shown that the PTH-induced anabolic effects on bone mass and bone formation were attenuated in T1D mice compared with nondiabetic mice. Further, PTH treatment failed to activate β-catenin signaling in osteoblasts of T1D mice and was unable to improve osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Next, the Col1-3.2 kb-CreERTM; β-cateninfx(ex3) mice were used to conditionally activate β-catenin in osteoblasts by injecting tamoxifen, and we addressed whether or not preactivation of β-catenin boosted the anabolic action of PTH on T1D-related bone loss. The results demonstrated that pretreatment with activation of osteoblastic β-catenin followed by PTH treatment outperformed PTH or β-catenin activation monotherapy and led to greatly improved bone structure, bone mass, and bone strength in this preclinical model of T1DM. Further analysis demonstrated that osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, as well as osteoprogenitors in the marrow, were all improved in the combination treatment group. These findings indicated a clear advantage of developing β-catenin as a target to improve the efficacy of PTH in the treatment of T1D-related osteopenia.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether estrogen deficiency is a sole risk factor for osteoporosis or is also associated with age, through indicators such as gender, age, and time since menopause. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted evaluating 938 postmenopausal women who underwent bone mineral densitometry. We collected the following data: age, ethnic group, body mass index, smoking, and time since menopause. These data were correlated to the presence of osteoporosis, according to the T-score of the femur and lumbar spine. Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis was 37.8%. Ethnic group (p = 0.47) and smoking habits (p = 0.19) were not associated with osteoporosis. In the group of women with osteoporosis, mean age was significantly higher (p < 0.001), mean body mass index was significantly lower (p < 0.001), and time since menopause was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than in the group of women with no osteoporosis. After multivariate analysis was performed, the only variables that remained independently associated with osteoporosis were body mass index and time since menopause. Higher body mass index was a protective factor (odds ratio = 0.80 [95% confidence interval 0.76; 0.84], p < 0.001). Time since menopause represented a risk factor for osteoporosis (odds ratio = 1.04 [1.02; 1.06], p < 0.001). When divided into categories, the risk increased after 20 years of menopause and gradually every 5 years. Conclusion: Time since menopause and body mass index were the most important factors associated with osteoporosis, confirming that estrogen deficiency, and not age, is the major cause of the disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To scan novel candidate genes associated with osteoporosis, a two-stage transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of bone mineral density (BMD) was conducted. The BMD-associated genes identified by TWAS were then compared with the gene expression profiling of BMD in bone cells, B cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. We identified multiple candidate genes and gene ontology (GO) terms associated with BMD. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic bone disease characterized by decrease in BMD. Our objective is to scan novel candidate genes associated with OP. METHODS A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) was performed by integrating the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary of bone mineral density (BMD) with two pre-computed mRNA expression weights of peripheral blood and muscle skeleton. Then, another independent GWAS data of BMD was used to verify the discovery results. The BMD-associated genes identified between discovery and replicate TWAS were further subjected to gene ontology (GO) analysis implemented by DAVID. Finally, the BMD-associated genes and GO terms were further compared with the mRNA expression profiling results of BMD to detect the common genes and GO terms shared by both DNA-level TWAS and mRNA expression profile analysis. RESULTS TWAS identified 95 common genes with permutation P value < 0.05 for peripheral blood and muscle skeleton, such as TMTC4 in muscle skeleton and DDX17 in peripheral blood. Further comparing the genes detected by discovery-replicate TWAS with the differentially expressed genes identified by mRNA expression profiling of OP patients found 18 overlapped genes, such as MUL1 in muscle skeleton and SPTBN1 in peripheral blood. GO analysis of the genes identified by discovery-replicate TWAS detected 12 BMD-associated GO terms, such as negative regulation of cell growth and regulation of glycogen catabolic process. Further comparing the GO results of discovery-replicate TWAS and mRNA expression profiles found 6 overlapped GO terms, such as membrane and cell adhesion. CONCLUSION Our study identified multiple candidate genes and GO terms for BMD, providing novel clues for understanding the genetic mechanism of OP.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone lytic disease, because of inadequate bone ossification and/or excessive bone resorption. Even though drugs are currently available for the treatment of osteoporosis, there remains an unmet need for the development of more specific novel agents with less adverse effects. Dehydrocostus lactone (DHC), a natural sesquiterpene lactone, was previously found to affect the differentiation of inflammatory cells by inhibiting NF-κB pathways, and garnered much interest for its anti-cancer properties via SOCS-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. As NF-κB pathway plays an essential role in osteoclast differentiation, we sought to discover the biological effects of DHC on osteoclast differentiation and resorptive activity, as well as the underlying mechanisms on these effects. Our research found that DHC inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption and osteoclast specific genes expression via suppression of NF-κB and NFAT signaling pathways in vitro. We further demonstrated that DHC protected against ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss in mice and the protective effect was mediated at least in part through the attenuation of NF-κB signaling pathway. Thus, this study provides insight that DHC might be used as a potential pharmacological treatment for osteoporosis.

Elevated Creatine Kinase and Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase and Decreased Osteocalcin and Uncarboxylated Osteocalcin are Associated with Bone Stress Injuries in Young Female Athletes.

Abstract
Stress fractures are a limitation for athletes not only in sports performance but in activities of daily living. Thus, preventing them is crucial. In female athletes, a triad of symptoms including low energy availability, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea and osteoporosis are considered risk factors for stress injuries, but biomarkers predictive of these outcomes are not available. Here, we evaluated 56 female university athletes and found that 13 had a history of stress bone injuries. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that dysmenorrhea including amenorrhea, but not reduced food intake or body weight loss, was significantly associated with stress injuries. When we subdivided subjects into stress fracture and non-fracture groups, we found that serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher in the fracture group, while osteocalcin and uncarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), which are bone forming parameters, significantly decreased. Low vitamin D levels are associated with stress fractures, but serum vitamin D levels were higher in fracture compared to non-fracture subjects. We followed up 32 subjects for one year, and three exhibited new stress injuries during that period. A history of stress fracture history is significantly associated with experiencing a new stress fracture. We also found that subjects with new fracture performed significantly greater exercise activity than did non-fracture subjects. Taken together, our data indicate that increased serum CK and LDH and decreased serum osteocalcin and ucOC are biomarkers of stress injuries, and evaluating these markers along with dysmenorrhea, stress fracture history or high sports activity could predict future stress fractures in female athletes.

Abstract
Despite the severity and prevalence of iron deficiency in exercising women, few published reports have explored how iron deficiency interacts with another prevalent and severe condition in exercising women: the 'female athlete triad.' This review aims to describe how iron deficiency may interact with each component of the female athlete triad, that is, energy status, reproductive function, and bone health. The effects of iron deficiency on energy status are discussed in regards to thyroid function, metabolic fuel availability, eating behaviors, and energy expenditure. The interactions between iron deficiency and reproductive function are explored by discussing the potentially impaired fertility and hyperprolactinemia due to iron deficiency and the alterations in iron metabolism due to menstrual blood loss and estrogen exposure. The interaction of iron deficiency with bone health may occur via dysregulation of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis, hypoxia, and hypothyroidism.

MicroRNA-874 targeting SUFU involves in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in osteoporosis rats through the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2018; 506:194-203. [PMID: 30342851 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.09.187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2018] [Accepted: 09/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Osteoporosis is widely viewed as a major public health concern, but the exact magnitude of the problem is uncertain. MicroRNAs play a key role in maintaining bone development and metabolism. This study aims to investigate the effects that microRNA-874 (miR-874) has on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in osteoporosis rats by targeting SUFU through the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Twenty Wistar female rats were selected for following experiment, and another 20 rats were served as the normal group. Their osteogenic tissues were obtained and the positive expression of SUFU in tissues was determined. Rat osteoblasts were isolated and. The targeting relationship between SUFU and miR-874 was verified and the expression of miR-874, SUFU, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Ptch, Smoothened (Smo), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP2), Runx2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) were identified. Besides, cell viability apoptosis, and differentiation were confirmed respectively. Moreover, calcium nodules were observed. Overexpression of SUFU and Bax but lower expression of miR-874, Shh, Ptch, Smo, BMP2, Runx2, and PCNA were found in osteoporosis mice. Besides, elevated expression of miR-874, Shh, Ptch, Smo, BMP2, Runx2 and PCNA, as well as increased cell viability, ALP activity and calcium nodules but decreased expression of SUFU and Bax, and reduced cell apoptosis were confirmed when treated with miR-874 mimic. And it is reciprocal when miR-874 was inhibited. Our study demonstrated that through targeted inhibition of SUFU and activation of Hedgehog signaling pathway, miR-874 could promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in osteoporosis rats.

[PMID: 30212470 PMCID: PMC6136715 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0202885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2018] [Accepted: 08/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder, manifesting with a reduction in bone mass and deterioration of the microarchitecture. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an innate ability to differentiate into several cell types, including osteoblasts (OB). Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) is an ethanol extract from ginseng and contains a highly concentrated form of ginsenoside. GRb1 shows extensive beneficial health effects such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory functions, modulating the immune system and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. We hypothesized that GRb1 can promote MSC differentiation into OBs and inhibit bone loss. In the present study, we aimed to address two questions: (1) Will GRb1 have a positive effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs? and (2) Will GRb1 halt bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats? We investigated the effects of GRb1 on viability and osteogenic differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs). Our results showed that GRb1 at concentrations of 10−8 M and 10−6 M can increase alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization and the expression of osteogenic related proteins, such as osteopontin and osteoprotegerin, while incubating rMSCs with osteogenic induction medium and GRb1. Adding GRb1 into the medium can prevent rMSCs from Oxidative damage at the concentration of 25μM H2O2. Furthermore, 40 4-month-old rats were assigned to 5 groups(8 rats per group): the basal group, the sham group, the OVX group, the high dose of GRb1 group (6 mg/kg/day) and the low dose of GRb1 group (3 mg/kg/day). Rats recrived treatment 3days after surgery and last for 14 weeks. Examinations included serum analysis, mechanical testing, Masson-Goldner trichrome staining and bone histomorphometry analysis. The results showed that OVX can lead to dyslipidemia and excessive oxidative stress, whereas GRb1 cannot significantly halt dyslipidemia and excessive oxidative stress in OVX rats. In addition, the bone density of the lumbar vertebra and femur were decreased significantly in the OVX rats, and GRb1 could not inhibit bone loss. Bone histomorphometry analysis showed that the number and width of bone trabecula of the tibia were reduced in OVX rats, and GRb1 could not prevent their occurrence. A bone biomechanics assay showed that GRb1 cannot improve the ability of bone structure to resist fracture of the femur in OVX rats. The current study demonstrated that GRb1 has an obvious effect on osteogenic differentiation in rMSCs but no obvious effect on bone loss in OVX rats. These findings indicate GRb1 has a positive effect on rMSCs but does not have an effect on bone loss in OVX rats at the concentration we used.

[PMID: 30233402 PMCID: PMC6129951 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.01225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2018] [Accepted: 08/14/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis is a major health problem that is closely related to substantial morbidity, mortality and decline in life quality for the aging population. Although previous studies and epidemiological evidence have demonstrated an association between black tea consumption and the prevention of bone loss, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. So, the effect of black tea extract (BTE) and thearubigins (TRs) on osteoporosis in rats and osteoclast formation in vitro were investigated. Methods:In vivo, ovariectomized (OVX) rats were used to establish osteoporosis models. To validate the model and study the effects of BTE and TRs on osteoporosis, the female Wistar rats were divided into a sham-operated group and five OVX groups including model, Xian-Ling-Gu-Bao (XLGB) (as a positive control), BTE, TRs low-dose, and TRs high-dose group. The rats in the four treatment groups were given the corresponding test sample for 12 weeks. Then, the body weight, femur indices, and serum biomarkers were examined and analyzed. In vitro, RAW264.7 murine macrophages were used as model of osteoclast formation. The effects of BTE and TRs on osteoclasts formation and the specific genes and protein levels of osteoclasts were determined. Results: Although there was no significant effect on the OVX-induced body weight gain by BTE or TRs, the levels of maximum bending force, cortical bone thickness and biomarker of bone resorption (acid phosphatase) can be significantly ameliorated by BTE or TRs in OVX rats. Furthermore, both of BTE and TRs can inhibit the osteoclastogenesis and diminish the expression levels of the related genes and proteins.

Abstract
Hormone replacement medicine such as traditional Chinese medicine has proven to be effective in decreasing the risk of osteoporosis. Mongolian medicine echinops prevents osteoporosis, but its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism underlying echinops prevents and treats postmenopausal osteoporosis. Osteoporosis model was established by ovariectomy in rats. Rats were treated to Echinops (16.26, 32.5, or 65 mg/kg/day) by oral gavage for 3 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) was detected by micro-CT detection of left proximal medial metaphyseal tibia. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and toluidine blue O staining were also performed. Serum levels of E2, ALP and testosterone were examined. Bone marrow-derived bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and treated with echinops-containing serum. Estrogen receptors (ER) including ERα and ERβ in bone specimens and BMSCs were detected by qRT-PCR. Cell viability and colon formation of BMSCs were detected. Expressions of ERα, ERβ, AKT, p-AKT, ERK, and p-ERK in BMSCs were detected by western blot. Results showed that echinops significantly increased trabecular interconnectivity, thickness of trabeculae, and connection of trabecula. Echinops significantly increased BMD and E2, but significantly reduced ALP and testosterone in dose-dependent manners. Echinops induced ERα and ERβ in both bone specimens and BMSCs. Echinops enhanced cell viability and ability of colony formation of BMSCs, and increased ERα, ERβ, p-AKT, and p-ERK. Thus, Mongolian echinops reduced bone loss and delayed the occurrence and development of osteoporosis, and increased ERα, ERβ, p-AKT, and P-ERK in BMSCs. These results provide experimental basis for clinical prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis by echniops.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a serious public health problem and icariin (ICA) is the active component of the Epimedium sagittatum, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. The present study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of ICA as a potential therapy for osteoporosis. Calvaria osteoblasts were isolated from newborn rats and treated with ICA. Cell viability, apoptosis, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition were analyzed. Bioinformatics analyses were performed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in response to ICA treatment. Western blot analysis was performed to validate the expression of DEPs. ICA administration promoted osteoblast viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition and inhibited osteoblast apoptosis. Secretome analysis of ICA-treated cells was performed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A total of 56 DEPs were identified, including serpin family F member 1 (PEDF), protein disulfide isomerase family A, member 3 (PDIA3), nuclear protein, co-activator of histone transcription (NPAT), c-Myc and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). These proteins were associated with signaling pathways, including Fas and p53. Bioinformatics and western blot analyses confirmed that the expression levels of the six DEPs were upregulated following ICA treatment. These genes may be directly or indirectly involved in ICA-mediated osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis. It was demonstrated that ICA treatment promoted osteogenesis by modulating the expression of PEDF, PDIA3, NPAT and HSP70 through signaling pathways, including Fas and p53.

Abstract
Background:Dendrobium officinale, a traditional Chinese medical herb with high value that is widely used in Asia, possesses many positive effects on human health, including anti-chronic inflammation, anti-obesity, and immune modulation properties; however, whether D. officinale has inhibitory effects on postmenopausal osteoporosis remains unknown. Objective: We investigated the effects of D. officinale extract (DOE) on ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo and on osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Methods:In vivo, female rats were divided into a sham-operated (sham) group and five ovariectomized (OVX) subgroups: OVX with vehicle (OVX), OVX with Xian-Ling-Gu-Bao capsule (240 mg/kg body weight/day), and OVX with low-, medium-, and high-dose DOE (150, 300, and 600 mg/kg body weight/day, respectively). Animals in each group were administered their corresponding treatments for 13 weeks. Body weight, serum biochemical parameters, uterine and femoral physical parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), bone biomechanical properties, and bone microarchitecture were obtained. In vitro, the effects of DOE on osteoclastogenesis were examined using RAW264.7 cells. The effects of DOE on osteoclastogenesis and the expression of osteoclast-specific marker genes and proteins were determined. Results: DOE effectively ameliorated serum biochemical parameters, especially alleviated estradiol (E2) deficiency and maintained calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. DOE improved uterine and femoral physical parameters. In addition, DOE improved femoral BMD and biomechanical properties. DOE significantly ameliorated bone microarchitecture. Moreover, DOE inhibited osteoclastogenesis independent of its cytoxicity and suppressed the expression of osteoclast-specific marker genes and proteins. Conclusion: DOE can effectively prevent ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo and inhibit osteoclastogenesis in vitro.

Abstract
Estrogen signaling and mechanical loading have individual and combined effects on skeletal maintenance and adaptation. Previous work investigating estrogen signaling both in vitro and in vivo using global estrogen receptor α (ERα) gene knockout mouse models has provided information regarding the role of ERα in regulating bone mass and adaptation to mechanical stimulation. However, these models have inherent limitations that confound interpretation of the data. Therefore, recent studies have focused on mice with targeted deletion of ERα from specific bone cells and their precursors. Cell stage, tissue type, and mouse sex all influence the effects of ERα gene deletion. Lack of ERα in osteoblast progenitor and precursor cells generally affects the periosteum of female and male mice. The absence of ERα in differentiated osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts in mice generally resulted in reduced cancellous bone mass, with differing reports of the effect by animal sex and greater deficiencies in bone mass typically occurring in cancellous bone in female mice. Limited data exist for the role of bone cell-specific ERα in skeletal adaptation in vivo. Cell-specific ERα gene knockout mice provide an excellent platform for investigating the function of ERα in regulating skeletal phenotype and response to mechanical loading by sex and age.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2017; 19:901-915. [PMID: 28744993 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2017] [Revised: 06/21/2017] [Accepted: 06/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms behind the impact of smoking on osseointegration are not fully understood. PURPOSE To investigate the initial clinical and molecular course of osseointegration of different implants in smokers and non-smokers in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Smoking (n = 16) and non-smoking (n = 16) patients received 3 implant types: machined, oxidized, and laser-modified surfaces. Baseline bone biopsies were retrieved from the implant sites. After 60 and 90 days, the pain score, implant stability quotient (ISQ), and peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) gene expression were analyzed. Furthermore, radiological and clinical assessments were made at 90 days. RESULTS At 90 days, no pain was reported, irrespective of smoking habit. A higher ISQ was found in smokers compared with non-smokers. Marginal bone loss (MBL) was greater in smokers than in non-smokers. The comparison of implant surfaces revealed greater MBL exclusively at the machined implants in smokers. At 90 days in smokers, the PICF around machined implants revealed a higher expression of the proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and a lower expression of the osteogenic gene, osteocalcin (OC), compared with the PICF around modified implants. Furthermore, OC expression was lower at machined implants in smokers compared with machined implants in non-smokers. After adjustment for age and implant location (maxilla/mandible), multivariate regression revealed the following predictors of MBL: smoking, bleeding on probing at 90 days, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression at baseline and IL-6 expression in PICF at 90 days. CONCLUSIONS During the early phase of osseointegration, non-smokers and smokers present a similar, high implant survival. In contrast, smokers present a greater MBL, particularly at machined implants. HIF-1α baseline expression in the recipient bone and IL-6 expression in PICF cells are important molecular determinants for MBL after 90 days. It is concluded that smoking has an early effect on osseointegration, which is dependent on the implant surface properties and the local host response.
