Abstract
The replication of bone physiology under laboratory conditions is a prime target behind the development of in vitro bone models. The model should be robust enough to elicit an unbiased response when stimulated experimentally, giving reproducible outcomes. In vitro bone tissue generation majorly requires the availability of cellular components, the presence of factors promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation, efficient nutrient supply, and a supporting matrix for the cells to anchor - gaining predefined topology. Calcium phosphates (CaP) are difficult to ignore while considering the above requirements of a bone model. Therefore, the current review focuses on the role of CaP in developing an in vitro bone model addressing the prerequisites of bone tissue generation. Special emphasis is given to the physico-chemical properties of CaP that promote osteogenesis, angiogenesis and provide sufficient mechanical strength for load-bearing applications. Finally, the future course of action is discussed to ensure efficient utilization of CaP in the in vitro bone model development field.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) play a significant role in bone metabolism as they can differentiate into osteoblasts, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds), and chondrocytes. BMSCs chronically exposed to nutrient overload undergo adipogenic programming, resulting in bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) formation. BMAT is a fat depot transcriptionally, metabolically, and morphologically distinct from peripheral adipose depots. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are elevated in obesity and serve as important signals directing BMSC fate. ROS produced by the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family of enzymes, such as NOX4, may be responsible for driving BMSC adipogenesis at the expense of osteogenic differentiation. The dual nature of ROS as both cellular signaling mediators and contributors to oxidative stress complicates their effects on bone metabolism. This review discusses the complex interplay between ROS and BMSC differentiation in the context of metabolic bone diseases.Special attention is paid to the role of NOX4-ROS in regulating cellular processes within the bone marrow microenvironment and potential target in metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulceration is one of the most common complications in patients treated for diabetes mellitus. The presented pilot study describes the successful treatment of diabetic ulceration of the heel with ongoing osteomyelitis in a 39-year-old patient after using a combination of modified chitosan-based biomaterial in combination with autologous mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow and dermal fibroblasts. The isolated population of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells fulfilled all of the attributes given by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, such as fibroblast-like morphology, the high expression of positive surface markers (CD29: 99.1 ± 0.4%; CD44: 99.8 ± 0.2% and CD90: 98.0 ± 0.6%) and the ability to undergo multilineage differentiation. Likewise, the population of dermal fibroblasts showed high positivity for the widely accepted markers collagen I, collagen III and vimentin, which was confirmed by immunocytochemical staining. Moreover, we were able to describe newly formed blood vessels shown by angio CT and almost complete closure of the skin defect after 8 months of the treatment.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 176:116843. [PMID: 38810405 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis is marked by increased bone marrow adiposity, and treatment with statins for hyperlipidemia often leads to new-onset osteoporosis. Endosome-associated trafficking regulator 1 (ENTR1) has been found to interact with different proteins in pathophysiology, but its exact role in adipogenesis is not yet understood. This research aimed to explore the role of ENTR1 in adipogenesis and to discover a new small molecule that targets ENTR1 for evaluating its effectiveness in treating hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis. We found that ENTR1 expression increased during the adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMSCs). ENTR1 gain- and loss-of-function assays significantly enhanced lipid droplets formation. Mechanistically, ENTR1 binds peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and enhances its expression, thereby elevating adipogenic markers including C/EBPα and LDLR. Therapeutically, AN698/40746067 attenuated adipogenesis by targeting ENTR1 to suppress PPARγ. In vivo, AN698/40746067 reduced bone marrow adiposity and bone loss, as well as prevented lipogenesis-related obesity, inflammation, steatohepatitis, and abnormal serum lipid levels during hyperlipidemia. Together, these findings suggest that ENTR1 facilitates adipogenesis by PPARγ involved in BMSCs' differentiation, and targeted inhibition of ENTR1 by AN698/40746067 may offer a promising therapy for addressing lipogenesis-related challenges and alleviating osteoporosis following hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Bone-fat balance is crucial to maintain bone homeostasis. As common progenitor cells of osteoblasts and adipocytes, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are delicately balanced for their differentiation commitment. However, the exact mechanisms governing BMSC cell fate are unclear. In this study, we discovered that fibroblast growth factor 9 (Fgf9), a cytokine expressed in the bone marrow niche, controlled bone-fat balance by influencing the cell fate of BMSCs. Histomorphology and cytodifferentiation analysis showed that Fgf9 loss-of-function mutation (S99N) notably inhibited bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) formation and alleviated ovariectomy-induced bone loss and BMAT accumulation in adult mice. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated that Fgf9 altered the differentiation potential of BMSCs, shifting from osteogenesis to adipogenesis at the early stages of cell commitment. Transcriptomic and gene expression analyses demonstrated that FGF9 upregulated the expression of adipogenic genes while downregulating osteogenic gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Mechanistic studies revealed that FGF9, through FGFR1, promoted adipogenic gene expression via PI3K/AKT/Hippo pathways and inhibited osteogenic gene expression via MAPK/ERK pathway. This study underscores the crucial role of Fgf9 as a cytokine regulating the bone-fat balance in adult bone, suggesting that FGF9 is a potentially therapeutic target in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bones and brain are intricately connected and scientific interest in their interaction is growing. This has become particularly evident in the framework of clinical applications for various medical conditions, such as obesity and osteoporosis. The adverse effects of obesity on brain health have long been recognised, but few brain imaging studies provide sophisticated body composition measures. Here we propose to extract the following bone- and adiposity-related measures from T1-weighted MR images of the head: an approximation of skull bone mineral density (BMD), skull bone thickness, and two approximations of subcutaneous fat (i.e., the intensity and thickness of soft non-brain head tissue). The measures pertaining to skull BMD, skull bone thickness, and intensi-ty-based adiposity proxy proved to be reliable ( r =.93/.83/.74, p <.001) and valid, with high correlations to DXA-de-rived head BMD values (rho=.70, p <.001) and MRI-derived abdominal subcutaneous adipose volume (rho=.62, p <.001). Thickness-based adiposity proxy had only a low retest reliability ( r =.58, p <.001).The outcomes of this study constitute an important step towards extracting relevant non-brain features from available brain scans.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity-induced bone loss affects the life quality of patients all over the world. Irisin, one of the myokines, plays an essential role in bone and fat metabolism. OBJECTIVE Investigate the effects of irisin on bone metabolism via adipocytes in the bone marrow microenvironment. METHODS In this study, we fed fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5, the precursor protein of irisin) knockout mice (FNDC5-/-) with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks. The quality of bone mass was assessed by micro-CT analysis, histological staining, and dynamic bone formation. In vitro, the lipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was assayed by Oil Red O staining, and the osteogenic differentiation was assayed by alkaline phosphatase staining. Meanwhile, the gene expression in the BMSC-differentiated adipocytes by RNA sequence and the involved pathway of irisin were determined by western blot and qRT-PCR were performed. RESULTS The FNDC5-/- mice fed with a HFD showed an increased body weight, fat content of the bone marrow and bone, and a decreased bone formation compared with those with a standard diet (SD). In vitro, irisin inhibited the differentiation of BMSCs into adipocytes and alleviated the inhibition of osteogenesis derived from BMSCs by the adipocyte supernatant. RNA sequence and blocking experiment showed that irisin reduced the production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in adipocytes through downregulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway. Immunofluorescence staining of bone marrow further confirmed an increased IL-6 expression in the FNDC5-/- mice fed with HFD compared with those fed with SD, which suffered serious bone loss. CONCLUSION Irisin downregulates activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway, thereby reducing IL-6 production in adipocytes to enhance the osteogenesis of BMSCs. Thus, the rescue of osteogenesis of BMSCs, initially inhibited by IL-6, is a potential therapeutic target to mitigate obesity-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has gained attention as a therapeutic agent due to its potential biological activities, including osteogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the osteogenic activity of BDNF have not been fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the action of BDNF on the osteoblast differentiation in bone marrow stromal cells, and its influence on signaling pathways. In addition, to evaluate the clinical efficacy, an in vivo animal study was performed. METHODS Preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1), bone marrow-derived stromal cells (ST2), and a direct 2D co-culture system were treated with BDNF. The effect of BDNF on cell proliferation was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteoblast differentiation was assessed based on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and staining and the protein expression of multiple osteoblast markers. Calcium accumulation was examined by Alizarin red S staining. For the animal study, we used ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats and divided them into BDNF and normal saline injection groups. MicroCT, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain were performed for analysis. RESULTS BDNF significantly increased ALP activity, calcium deposition, and the expression of osteoblast differentiation-related proteins, such as ALP, osteopontin, etc., in both ST-2 and the MC3T3-E1 and ST-2 co-culture systems. Moreover, the effect of BDNF on osteogenic differentiation was diminished by blocking tropomyosin receptor kinase B, as well as inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 MAPK signals. Although the animal study results including bone density and histology showed increased osteoblastic and decreased osteoclastic activity, only a portion of parameters reached statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Our study results showed that BDNF affects osteoblast differentiation through TrkB receptor, and JNK and p38 MAPK signal pathways. Although not statistically significant, the trend of such effects was observed in the animal experiment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow adiposity and R2* have been explored as an imaging biomarker for osteoporosis. Chemical shift-encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) is a method that allows for relatively accurate measurement of adiposity and R2* in bone marrow in a simple manner. Additionally, there are reports of a physiological gradient of fat distribution in the lumbar spine. This physiological gradient of fat distribution can potentially impact the prediction of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the distribution of R2* is not well understood. PURPOSE This study examined how lumbar spine fat fraction (FF) and R2* change with different levels of the lumbar spine, how they influence osteoporosis prediction, and how they change according to measurement methods. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Cross-sectional study using retrospectively collected data. PATIENT SAMPLE The study included patients who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and lumbar spine CSE-MRI within one-month intervals between 2017 and 2022. OUTCOME MEASURES Reproducibility of FF and R2* based on measurement techniques, changes in FF and R2* according to vertebral level and osteoporosis status, and diagnostic power of osteoporosis based on vertebral level. METHODS Patients were categorized into the normal bone density, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups based on bone mineral density. The relationship between groups and spine level before and after BMD adjustment was investigated using generalized estimating equations. Comparisons between the three groups and various measures of reliability were conducted using intraclass correlation coefficient. The diagnostic performance for predicting osteoporosis was evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Comparing the three groups, FF increased with osteoporosis severity, while R2* decreased (p<.001). The intra/inter-rater agreement for FF and R2* was excellent. A physiological gradient within individuals was observed, where FF increased towards the lower lumbar spine (p=.002). R2* tended to decrease, but it was not statistically significant (p=.218). There was no statistically significant difference in the diagnosis of osteoporosis based on FF or R2* across different lumbar spine levels. CONCLUSIONS There was an increase in FF and a decrease in R2* from T12 to L5. However, the predictive power of osteoporosis did not significantly differ between each level.

Abstract
Obesity has taken the face of a pandemic with less direct concern among the general population and scientific community. However, obesity is considered a low-grade systemic inflammation that impacts multiple organs. Chronic inflammation is also associated with different solid and blood cancers. In addition, emerging evidence demonstrates that individuals with obesity are at higher risk of developing blood cancers and have poorer clinical outcomes than individuals in a normal weight range. The bone marrow is critical for hematopoiesis, lymphopoiesis, and myelopoiesis. Therefore, it is vital to understand the mechanisms by which obesity-associated changes in BM adiposity impact leukemia development. BM adipocytes are critical to maintain homeostasis via different means, including immune regulation. However, obesity increases BM adiposity and creates a pro-inflammatory environment to upregulate clonal hematopoiesis and a leukemia-supportive environment. Obesity further alters lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis via different mechanisms, which dysregulate myeloid and lymphoid immune cell functions mentioned in the text under different sequentially discussed sections. The altered immune cell function during obesity alters hematological malignancies and leukemia susceptibility. Therefore, obesity-induced altered BM adiposity, immune cell generation, and function impact an individual's predisposition and severity of leukemia, which should be considered a critical factor in leukemia patients.

Abstract
Obesity, a complex disorder with rising global prevalence, is a chronic, inflammatory, and multifactorial disease and it is characterized by excessive adipose tissue accumulation and associated comorbidities. Adipose tissue (AT) is an extremely diverse organ. The composition, structure, and functionality of AT are significantly influenced by characteristics specific to everyone, in addition to the variability connected to various tissue types and its location-related heterogeneity. Recent investigation has shed light on the intricate relationship between bone marrow stem cells and obesity, revealing potential mechanisms that contribute to the development and consequences of this condition. Mesenchymal stem cells within the bone marrow, known for their multipotent differentiation capabilities, play a pivotal role in adipogenesis, the process of fat cell formation. In the context of obesity, alterations in the bone marrow microenvironment may influence the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards adipocytes, impacting overall fat storage and metabolic balance. Moreover, bone marrow's role as a crucial component of the immune system adds another layer of complexity to the obesity-bone marrow interplay. This narrative review summarizes the current research findings on the connection between bone marrow stem cells and obesity, highlighting the multifaceted roles of bone marrow in adipogenesis and inflammation.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GONFH) is a common refractory joint disease characterized by bone damage and the collapse of femoral head structure. However, the exact pathological mechanisms of GONFH remain unknown. Here, we observed abnormal osteogenesis and adipogenesis associated with decreased β-catenin in the necrotic femoral head of GONFH patients. In vivo and in vitro studies further revealed that glucocorticoid exposure disrupted osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMSCs) by inhibiting β-catenin signaling in glucocorticoid-induced GONFH rats. Col2+ lineage largely contributes to BMSCs and was found an osteogenic commitment in the femoral head through 9 mo of lineage trace. Specific deletion of β-catenin gene (Ctnnb1) in Col2+ cells shifted their commitment from osteoblasts to adipocytes, leading to a full spectrum of disease phenotype of GONFH in adult mice. Overall, we uncover that β-catenin inhibition disrupting the homeostasis of osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation contributes to the development of GONFH and identify an ideal genetic-modified mouse model of GONFH.

Abstract
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely used modality for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). DXA is used to measure the quantitative areal BMD of bone, but has the disadvantage of not reflecting the bone architecture. To compensate for this disadvantage, trabecular bone score (TBS), a qualitative parameter of trabecular microarchitecture, is used. Meanwhile, there have been recent attempts to diagnose osteoporosis using the Hounsfield unit (HU) from CT and MR-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements. In our study, we aimed to find out the correlation between HU/PDFF and BMD/TBS, and whether osteoporosis can be diagnosed through HU/PDFF. Our study revealed that the HU value showed a moderate to good positive correlation with BMD and TBS. PDFF showed a fair negative correlation with BMD and TBS. In diagnosing osteopenia and osteoporosis, the HU value showed good performance, whereas the PDFF showed fair performance. In conclusion, both HU values and PDFF can play a role in predicting BMD and TBS. Both HU values and PDFF can be used to predict osteoporosis; further, CT is expected to show better results.

Abstract
The complicated connections and cross talk between the skeletal system and the immune system are attracting more attention, which is developing into the field of Osteoimmunology. In this field, cytokines that are among osteoblasts and osteoclasts play a critical role in bone remodeling, which is a pathological process in the pathogenesis and development of osteoporosis. Those cytokines include the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, the interleukin (IL) family, interferon (IFN), chemokines, and so on, most of which influence the bone microenvironment, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. This review summarizes the effect of cytokines on osteoblasts and osteoclasts in bone remodeling in osteoporosis, aiming to providing the latest reference to the role of immunology in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts. Various external stimuli, including environmental contaminants, heavy metals, dietary, and physical factors, are shown to influence the fate decision of BM-MSCs toward adipogenesis or osteogenesis. The balance of osteogenesis and adipogenesis is critical for the maintenance of bone homeostasis, and the interruption of BM-MSCs lineage commitment is associated with human health issues, such as fracture, osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteonecrosis. This review focuses on how external stimuli shift the fate of BM-MSCs towards adipogenesis or osteogenesis. Future studies are needed to understand the impact of these external stimuli on bone health and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of BM-MSCs differentiation. This knowledge will inform efforts to prevent bone-related diseases and develop therapeutic approaches to treat bone disorders associated with various pathological conditions.

Abstract
Caloric restriction (CR) is now a popular lifestyle choice due to its ability in experimental animals to improve lifespan, reduce body weight, and lessen oxidative stress. However, more and more emerging evidence suggests this treatment requires careful consideration because of its detrimental effects on the skeletal system. Experimental and clinical studies show that CR can suppress bone growth and raise the risk of fracture, but the specific mechanisms are poorly understood. Reduced mechanical loading has long been thought to be the primary cause of weight loss-induced bone loss from calorie restriction. Despite fat loss in peripheral depots with calorie restriction, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) increases, and this may play a significant role in this pathological process. Here, we update recent advances in our understanding of the effects of CR on the skeleton, the possible pathogenic role of BMAT in CR-induced bone loss, and some strategies to mitigate any potential side effects on the skeletal system.

Abstract
Tax1 binding protein 3 (Tax1bp3) is a PDZ domain-containing protein that is overexpressed in cancer. Previous studies recognized Tax1bp3 as an inhibitor of β-catenin. Till now it is not known whether Tax1bp3 regulates osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells. In the current study, the data showed that Tax1bp3 was expressed in bone and was increased in the progenitor cells when induced toward osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation. The overexpression of Tax1bp3 in the progenitor cells inhibited osteogenic differentiation and conversely stimulated adipogenic differentiation, and the knockdown of Tax1bp3 affected the differentiation of the progenitor cells oppositely. Ex vivo experiments using the primary calvarial osteoblasts from osteoblast-specific Tax1bp3 knock-in mice also demonstrated the anti-osteogenic and pro-adipogenic function of Tax1bp3. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Tax1bp3 inhibited the activation of canonical Wnt/β-catenin and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)/Smads signalling pathways. Taken together, the current study has provided evidences demonstrating that Tax1bp3 inactivates Wnt/β-catenin and BMPs/Smads signalling pathways and reciprocally regulates osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation from mesenchymal progenitor cells. The inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling may be involved in the reciprocal role of Tax1bp3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased levels of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) are negatively associated with skeletal health and hematopoiesis. BMAT is known to increase with age; however, the effect of long-term weight loss on BMAT is still unknown. OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined BMAT response to lifestyle-induced weight loss in 138 participants (mean age 48 y; mean body mass index 31 kg/m2), who participated in the CENTRAL-MRI trial. METHODS Participants were randomized for dietary intervention of low-fat or low-carb, with or without physical activity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to quantify BMAT and other fat depots at baseline, six and eighteen months of intervention. Blood biomarkers were also measured at the same time points. RESULTS At baseline, the L3 vertebrae BMAT is positively associated with age, HDL cholesterol, HbA1c and adiponectin; but not with other fat depots or other metabolic markers tested. Following six months of dietary intervention, the L3 BMAT declined by an average of 3.1 %, followed by a return to baseline after eighteen months (p < 0.001 and p = 0.189 compared to baseline, respectively). The decrease of BMAT during the first six months was associated with a decrease in waist circumference, cholesterol, proximal-femur BMAT, and superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), as well as with younger age. Nevertheless, BMAT changes did not correlate with changes in other fat depots. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that physiological weight loss can transiently reduce BMAT in adults, and this effect is more prominent in younger adults. Our findings suggest that BMAT storage and dynamics are largely independent of other fat depots or cardio-metabolic risk markers, highlighting its unique functions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and breast cancer are serious diseases that have become a significant socioeconomic burden. There are biochemical associations between the two disorders in terms of the amended function of estrogen, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand, oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid accumulation. Honey as a functional food with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can contribute to the prevention of various diseases. Its health benefits are mainly related to the content of polyphenols. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge from in vitro, animal, and human studies on the use of honey as a potential therapeutic agent for osteoporosis and breast cancer. Preclinical studies have revealed a beneficial impact of honey on both bone health (microstructure, strength, oxidative stress) and breast tissue health (breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis, tumor growth rate, and volume). The limited number of clinical trials, especially in osteoporosis, indicates the need for further research to evaluate the potential benefits of honey in the treatment. Clinical studies related to breast cancer have revealed that honey is effective in increasing blood cell counts, interleukin-3 levels, and quality of life. In summary, honey may serve as a prospective therapeutic supplement for bone and breast tissue health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the wide application of QCT in the clinical assessment of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, the characteristics of musculoskeletal degeneration in middle-aged and elderly people need to be further revealed. We aimed to investigate the degenerate characteristics of lumbar and abdominal muscles in middle-aged and elderly people with varying bone mass. METHODS A total of 430 patients aged 40-88 years were divided into normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups according to quantitative computed tomography (QCT) criteria. The skeletal muscular mass indexes (SMIs) of five muscles [abdominal wall muscles (AWM), rectus abdominis (RA), psoas major muscle (PMM), posterior vertebral muscles (PVM), and paravertebral muscles (PM)] included in lumbar and abdominal muscles were measured by QCT. Differences in SMIs among three groups, as well as the correlation between SMIs and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) were analyzed. The areas under the curves (AUCs) for SMIs for prediction of low bone mass and osteoporosis were calculated. RESULTS In male group, SMIs of RA and PM in osteopenia group were significantly lower than those in the normal group (P = 0.001 and 0.023, respectively). In female group, only SMI of RA in osteopenia group was significantly lower than that in the normal group (P = 0.007). SMI of RA was positively correlated with vBMD with the highest coefficients in male and female groups (r = 0.309 and 0.444, respectively). SMIs of AWM and RA had higher AUCs varying from 0.613 to 0.737 for prediction of low bone mass and osteoporosis in both genders. CONCLUSIONS The changes of SMIs of the lumbar and abdominal muscles in patients with varying bone mass are asynchronous. SMI of RA is expected to be a promising imaging marker for predicting abnormal bone mass. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR1900024511 (Registered 13-07-2019).

Abstract
Peiminine is a major biologically active component of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq that exhibits good anticancer, antiinflammatory, and anti-osteoclast effects. However, its effects on osteoporosis (OP) remain unknown. This study aimed to explore whether Peiminine was able to regulate osteogenesis and adipogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) rat. The effects on the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), function of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, ALP activity, calcium nodule deposition, as well as adipocyte formation in vitro by Peiminine at different concentrations, were detected. The curative effects of Peiminine on the ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model by micro-CT and bone histomorphology assays were analyzed. The promotion of osteogenic differentiation and inhibition of adipogenic differentiation by Peiminine (5-40 μg/mL) was detected and the optimum concentration was 20 μg/mL. Mechanistically, Peiminine regulated the fate of BMSCs in vitro, and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by restraining phosphorylation of β-catenin and promoting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Moreover, Peiminine prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. Our data suggested that Peiminine could attenuate ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. These encouraging discoveries could lay the foundation for Peiminine to be a promising preventive treatment strategy for skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
The past decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of skeletal homeostasis and the mechanisms that mediate the loss of bone integrity in disease. Recent breakthroughs have arisen mainly from identifying disease-causing mutations and modeling human bone disease in rodents, in essence, highlighting the integrative nature of skeletal physiology. It has become increasingly clear that bone cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, communicate and regulate the fate of each other through RANK/RANKL/OPG, liver X receptors (LXRs), EphirinB2-EphB4 signaling, sphingolipids, and other membrane-associated proteins, such as semaphorins. Mounting evidence also showed that critical developmental pathways, namely, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), NOTCH, and WNT, interact each other and play an important role in postnatal bone remodeling. The skeleton communicates not only with closely situated organs, such as bone marrow, muscle, and fat, but also with remote vital organs, such as the kidney, liver, and brain. The metabolic effect of bone-derived osteocalcin highlights a possible role of skeleton in energy homeostasis. Furthermore, studies using genetically modified rodent models disrupting the reciprocal relationship with tropic pituitary hormone and effector hormone have unraveled an independent role of pituitary hormone in skeletal remodeling beyond the role of regulating target endocrine glands. The cytokine-mediated skeletal actions and the evidence of local production of certain pituitary hormones by bone marrow-derived cells displays a unique endocrine-immune-skeletal connection. Here, we discuss recently elucidated mechanisms controlling the remodeling of bone, communication of bone cells with cells of other lineages, crosstalk between bone and vital organs, as well as opportunities for treating diseases of the skeleton.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is the 10th most common and 13th most deadly malignancy worldwide. About 5% of BCa patients present initially with metastatic disease, with bone being the most diagnosed site for distant metastasis. The overall one-year survival of patients with BCa is 84%, whereas it is only 21% in patients with bone metastasis (BM). Metastasis of BCa cells to bone occurs by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, intravasation, extravasation, and interactions with the bone microenvironment. However, the mechanism of BCa metastasis to the bone is not completely understood; it needs a further preclinical model to completely explain the process. As different imaging mechanisms, PET-CT cannot replace a radionuclide bone scan or an MRI for diagnosing BM. The management of BCa patients with BM includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, bisphosphonates, denosumab, radioisotopes, and surgery. The objective of these treatments is to inhibit disease progression, improve overall survival, reduce skeletal-related events, relieve pain, and improve the quality of life of patients.

High-fat diet-induced obesity augments the deleterious effects of estrogen deficiency on bone: Evidence from ovariectomized mice. Aging Cell 2022; 21:e13726.

Abstract
Several epidemiological studies have suggested that obesity complicated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes exerts deleterious effects on the skeleton. While obesity coexists with estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, their combined effects on the skeleton are poorly studied. Thus, we investigated the impact of high-fat diet (HFD) on bone and metabolism of ovariectomized (OVX) female mice (C57BL/6J). OVX or sham operated mice were fed either HFD (60%fat) or normal diet (10%fat) for 12 weeks. HFD-OVX group exhibited pronounced increase in body weight (~86% in HFD and ~122% in HFD-OVX, p < 0.0005) and impaired glucose tolerance. Bone microCT-scanning revealed a pronounced decrease in trabecular bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) (-15.6 ± 0.48% in HFD and -37.5 ± 0.235% in HFD-OVX, p < 0.005) and expansion of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT; +60.7 ± 9.9% in HFD vs. +79.5 ± 5.86% in HFD-OVX, p < 0.005). Mechanistically, HFD-OVX treatment led to upregulation of genes markers of senescence, bone resorption, adipogenesis, inflammation, downregulation of gene markers of bone formation and bone development. Similarly, HFD-OVX treatment resulted in significant changes in bone tissue levels of purine/pyrimidine and Glutamate metabolisms, known to play a regulatory role in bone metabolism. Obesity and estrogen deficiency exert combined deleterious effects on bone resulting in accelerated cellular senescence, expansion of BMAT and impaired bone formation leading to decreased bone mass. Our results suggest that obesity may increase bone fragility in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteocytes are the most abundant cell type in bone. These unique cells act primarily as mechanosensors and play crucial roles in the functional adaptation of bone tissue. This review aims to summarize the recent microfluidic studies on mechanically stimulated osteocytes in regulating other cell types. RECENT FINDINGS Microfluidics is a powerful technology that has been widely employed in recent years. With the advantages of microfluidic platforms, researchers can mimic multicellular environments and integrate dynamic systems to study osteocyte regulation under mechanical stimulation. Microfluidic platforms have been developed to investigate mechanically stimulated osteocytes in the direct regulation of multiple cell types, including osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and cancer cells, and in the indirect regulation of cancer cells via endothelial cells. Overall, these microfluidic studies foster the development of treatment approaches targeting osteocytes under mechanical stimulation.

Abstract
Exosomes are endosome-derived microvesicles that carry cell-specific biological cargo, such as proteins, lipids, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). They play a key role in bone remodeling by enabling the maintenance of a balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Recent evidence indicates that exosomes disrupt bone remodeling that occurs during breast cancer (BC) progression. The bone is a preferred site for BC metastasis owing to its abundant osseous reserves. In this review, we aimed to highlight the roles of exosomes derived from bone cells and breast tumor in bone remodeling and BC bone metastasis (BCBM). We also briefly outline the mechanisms of action of ncRNAs and proteins carried by exosomes secreted by bone and BCBM. Furthermore, this review highlights the potential of utilizing exosomes as biomarkers or delivery vehicles for the diagnosis and treatment of BCBM.

Abstract
Background Long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) regulates the progression of a variety of tumors, including osteosarcoma. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be recruited into osteosarcoma tissue and affect the progression by secreting exosomes. However, whether BMSCs derived exosomes transmit XIST to regulate the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma and the related mechanism are still unclear. Method In this study, BMSCs derived exosomes were used to treat human osteosarcoma cells MG63 and 143B, and the level of XIST in BMSCs was intervened by siRNA. CCK-8, EdU, transwell assays were used to analyze the changes of cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Bioinformatics analysis, RNA pulldown and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays validated the targeted relationship of XIST with miR-655 and the interaction between miR-655 and ACLY 3’-UTR. 143B/LUC cell line was used to establish an animal model of in situ osteosarcoma to verify the found effects of XIST on osteosarcoma. Oil Red O staining, Western blot and so on were used to detect the changes of lipid deposition and protein expression. Results It was found that BMSCs derived exosomes promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells, and the down-regulation of XIST inhibited this effect. miR-655 mediated the role of BMSCs derived exosomal XIST in promoting the progression of osteosarcoma and down-regulation of miR-655 could reverse the effects of inhibiting XIST on the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Meanwhile, animal level results confirmed that BMSCs derived exosomal XIST could promote osteosarcoma growth and lung metastasis by combining with miR-655. In-depth mechanism study showed that BMSCs derived exosomal XIST combined with miR-655 to increase the protein level of ACLY, which led to lipid deposition and activate β-catenin signal to promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Conclusion This study showed that BMSCs derived exosomal XIST could enter osteosarcoma cells, bind and down-regulates the level of miR-655, resulting in an increase in the level of ACLY, thus increasing the lipid deposition and the activity of β-catenin signal to promote the growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma.

Melatonin suppresses bone marrow adiposity in ovariectomized rats by rescuing the imbalance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis through SIRT1 activation. J Orthop Translat 2022; 38:84-97. [PMID: 36381247 PMCID: PMC9619141 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accelerated imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption is associated with bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Studies have shown that this loss is accompanied by an increase in bone marrow adiposity. Melatonin was shown to improve impaired bone formation capacity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from ovariectomized rats (OVX-BMMSCs). OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the anti-osteoporosis effect of melatonin involves regulation of the equilibrium between osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of osteoporotic BMMSCs. METHODS To induce osteoporosis, female Sprague-Dawley rats received ovariectomy (OVX). Primary BMMSCs were isolated from tibiae and femurs of OVX and sham-op rats and were induced towards osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation. Matrix mineralization was determined by Alizarin Red S (ARS) and lipid formation was evaluated by Oil Red O. OVX rats were injected with melatonin through the tail vein. Bone microarchitecture was determined using micro computed tomography and marrow adiposity were examined by histology staining. RESULTS OVX-BMMSCs exhibited a compromised osteogenic potential and an enhanced lineage differentiation towards adipocytes. In vitro melatonin improved osteogenic differentiation of OVX-BMMSCs and promoted matrix mineralization by enhancing the expression of transcription factor RUNX2 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, melatonin significantly inhibited lipid formation and suppressed OVX-BMMSCs adipogenesis by down-regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Intravenous injection of melatonin prevented bone mass reduction and bone architecture destruction in ovariectomized rats. Importantly, there was a significant inhibition of adipose tissue formation in the bone marrow. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SIRT1 was involved in melatonin-mediated determination of stem cell fate. Inhibition of SIRT1 abolished the protective effects of melatonin on bone formation by inducing BMMSCs towards adipocyte differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Melatonin reversed the differentiation switch of OVX-BMMSCs from osteogenesis to adipogenesis by activating the SIRT1 signaling pathway. Restoration of stem cell lineage commitment by melatonin prevented marrow adipose tissue over-accumulation and protected from bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE Determination of stem cell fate towards osteoblasts or adipocytes plays a pivotal role in regulating bone metabolism. This study demonstrates the protective effect of melatonin on bone mass in estrogen-deficient rats by suppressing adipose tissue accumulation in the bone marrow. Melatonin may serve as a promising candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis in clinics.

Abstract
Adverse events of diabetes mellitus (DM) include bone damages, such as the increased incidence of osteoporosis and bone fractures, which are known as diabetic osteopathy. The pathogenic mechanism of diabetic osteopathy is complex, and hyperglycemia is a vital cause involved in it. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exert a significant effect on bone formation. Therefore, in this paper, transcriptomic changes of BMSCs cultured in high glucose (35 mM) for 30 days are mainly investigated. In addition, 794 up-regulated genes and 1,162 down-regulated genes were identified. Then, biological functions of the differentially expressed genes in the high glucose microenvironment were investigated by two kinds of functional analyses. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was also applied to focus on the significant gene sets and it is found that Wnt10b expression witnessed a remarkable decrease in BMSCs under the high glucose microenvironment. At last, in vitro experiments revealed that oleuropein effectively reversed high glucose-induced osteogenic inhibition via activating Wnt10b in BMSCs.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) are important regulators of bone remodelling and metabolism and have an essential role in the achievement and maintenance of bone mass throughout life. Evidence from animal models and human diseases shows that both GH deficiency (GHD) and excess are associated with changes in bone remodelling and cause profound alterations in bone microstructure. The consequence is an increased risk of fractures in individuals with GHD or acromegaly, a condition of GH excess. In addition, functional perturbations of the GH-IGF1 axis, encountered in individuals with anorexia nervosa and during ageing, result in skeletal fragility and osteoporosis. The effect of interventions used to treat GHD and acromegaly on the skeleton is variable and dependent on the duration of the disease, the pre-existing skeletal state, coexistent hormone alterations (such as those occurring in hypogonadism) and length of therapy. This variability could also reflect the irreversibility of the skeletal structural defect occurring during alterations of the GH-IGF1 axis. Moreover, the effects of the treatment of GHD and acromegaly on locally produced IGF1 and IGF binding proteins are uncertain and in need of further study. This Review highlights the pathophysiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of skeletal fragility associated with perturbations in the GH-IGF1 axis.

Abstract
Protein adsorption has a great influence on Mg-based metallic implants, which affects cell attachment and cell growth. Adsorption of the proteins (via electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic/hydrophilic, and hydrogen-bonding) on the implant surface is greatly influenced by the surface chemistry of the implant. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a class of CaP ceramic, beneficial for protein adsorption as it possesses Ca2+ and PO43- in it, which are believed to be the protein binding sites on the HA surface. Moreover, HA is the popular choice for reinforcement in the magnesium matrix owing to its similarity with bone mineral composition. However, negligible interaction between HA and Mg particles during sintering is the major limitation for frequent usage of Mg-HA implants. Doping of HA with Mg2+ and Zn2+ (CoHA) ions leads to its chemistry similar to natural apatite in human bone and facilitates comparatively better bonding with the MgZn matrix. This study mainly aims to delve into the protein adsorption behaviour of Magnesium/Co-substituted HA-based Composites (M3Z-CoHA) along with their biocompatibility. Qualitative and quantitative protein adsorption analysis shows that the addition of 15 wt% CoHA to Mg matrix enhanced protein adsorption by ~60% and renders cell viability >90% after day 1, supporting cellular growth and proliferation. The implants also initiated osteogenic differentiation of the cells after day 7. The leached-out products from all the composites showed no toxicity. The morphology of the cells in all the composites was found as healthy as the control cells. Overall, the composite with 15 wt% HA reinforcement (M3Z-15CoHA) has shown favourable protein adsorption behaviour and cytocompatibility.

Abstract
Estrogen has pronounced effects on the immune system, which also influences bone homeostasis. In recent years, stromal cells in lymphoid organs have gained increasing attention as they not only support the regulation of immune responses but also affect bone remodeling. A conditional knockout mouse model where estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is deleted in CCL19‐expressing stromal cells (Ccl19‐Cre ERαfl/fl mice) was generated and bone densitometry was performed to analyze the importance of stromal cell–specific ERα signaling on the skeleton. Results showed that female Ccl19‐Cre ERαfl/fl mice display reduced total bone mineral density and detailed X‐ray analyses revealed that ERα expression in CCL19‐expressing stromal cells is important for trabecular but not cortical bone homeostasis. Further analysis showed that the trabecular bone loss is caused by increased osteoclastogenesis. Additionally, the bone formation rate was reduced; however, the expression of osteoprogenitor genes was not altered. Analysis of the bone marrow stromal cell compartment revealed a deletion of ERα in a subgroup of CXCL12‐abundant reticular (CAR) cells resulting in increased secretion of the pro‐osteoclastogenic chemokine CXCL12. In conclusion, this study reveals the importance of ERα signaling in CAR cells for bone health. © 2022 The Authors.

IRX5 promotes adipogenesis of hMSCs by repressing glycolysis. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:204.

Abstract
AbstractIroquois homeobox transcription factor 5 (IRX5) plays a pivotal role in extramedullary adipogenesis, but little is known about the effects of IRX5 on adipogenesis of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of IRX5 on hMSCs adipogenesis. By means of qPCR analysis, we determined that IRX5 expression was elevated during adipogenic commitment of hMSCs. The biologic role of IRX5 was further investigated by employing a gain/loss-of-function strategy using an in vitro lentivirus-based system. IRX5 overexpression promoted adipogenesis whereas IRX5 knockdown reduced the adipogenic phenotype. RNA-seq and metabolomics revealed that IRX5 overexpression repressed glycolysis. Dual-luciferase assay results showed that IRX5 overexpression transcriptionally activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC-1α). Metformin and PGC-1α inhibitor reversed IRX5-induced adipogenesis and glycolytic inhibition. Collectively, IRX5 facilitates adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs by transcriptionally regulating PGC-1α and inhibiting glycolysis, revealing a potential target to control bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) fate decision and bone homeostasis.

BMP-2 Long-Term Stimulation of Human Pre-Osteoblasts Induces Osteogenic Differentiation and Promotes Transdifferentiation and Bone Remodeling Processes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063077.

Abstract
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP-) 2 plays an important role in the regeneration of bone defects by promoting osteogenic differentiation. However, several animal studies have reported adverse side effects of BMP-2, including osteoclast activation, induction of peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma (PPARG)expression, and inflammation. High BMP-2 concentrations are thought to be responsible for these side effects. For this reason, primary pre-osteoblasts were exposed to lower BMP-2 concentrations (1 and 2 µg/mL). Long-term exposure (up to 28 days) was performed to investigate whether this stimulation protocol may promote osteogenic differentiation without causing the side effects mentioned above. The results showed that BMP-2 treatment for 14 or 28 days resulted in increased osteogenesis, through an increase in runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, alkaline phosphatase, and integrin-binding sialoprotein expression. However, an increase in tumor necrosis factor alpha and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand protein levels was observed after BMP-2 exposure, indicating also an increased potential for osteoclast activation by osteoblasts. Additionally, morphological changes like intracellular, filled vacuoles could be detected. Enhanced PPARG and perilipin 1 mRNA transcripts and lipid droplets indicated an induced adipogenic differentiation. Overall, the data demonstrate that long-term BMP-2 exposure promotes not only osteogenic differentiation but also adipogenesis and regulates mediators involved in osteoclast activation in vitro.

Abstract
Hypertrophic chondrocytes give rise to osteoblasts during skeletal development; however, the process by which these non-mitotic cells make this transition is not well understood. Prior studies have also suggested that skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) localize to the surrounding periosteum and serve as a major source of marrow-associated SSPCs, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and adipocytes during skeletal development. To further understand the cell transition process by which hypertrophic chondrocytes contribute to osteoblasts or other marrow associated cells, we utilized inducible and constitutive hypertrophic chondrocyte lineage tracing and reporter mouse models (Col10a1CreERT2; Rosa26fs-tdTomato and Col10a1Cre; Rosa26fs-tdTomato) in combination with a PDGFRaH2B-GFP transgenic line, single-cell RNA-sequencing, bulk RNA-sequencing, immunofluorescence staining, and cell transplantation assays. Our data demonstrate that hypertrophic chondrocytes undergo a process of dedifferentiation to generate marrow-associated SSPCs that serve as a primary source of osteoblasts during skeletal development. These hypertrophic chondrocyte-derived SSPCs commit to a CXCL12-abundant reticular (CAR) cell phenotype during skeletal development and demonstrate unique abilities to recruit vasculature and promote bone marrow establishment, while also contributing to the adipogenic lineage.

Abstract
Ageing is often accompanied by an increase in bone marrow fat together with reduced bone volume and diseases of the bone such as osteoporosis. As mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of forming bone, cartilage and fat tissue, studying these cells is of great importance to understand the underlying mechanisms behind age‐related bone diseases. However, inter‐donor variation has been found when handling MSCs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of donor age and sex by comparing in vitro characteristics of human bone marrow‐derived MSCs (hBMSCs) from a large donor cohort (n = 175). For this, hBMSCs were analysed for CFU‐F capacity, proliferation, differentiation capacity and surface antigen expression under standardized culture conditions. The results demonstrated a significantly reduced CFU‐F number for hBMSCs of female compared to male donors. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in the proliferation rate, adipogenic differentiation potential and cell surface expression of SSEA‐4, CD146 and CD274 of hBMSCs with an increase in donor age. Interestingly, all these findings were exclusive to hBMSCs from female donors. Further research should focus on postmenopausal‐related effects on hBMSCs, as the results imply a functional loss and immunophenotypic change of hBMSCs particularly in aged women.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), identified as pericytes comprising the hematopoietic niche, are a group of heterogeneous cells composed of multipotent stem cells, including osteochondral and adipocyte progenitors. Nevertheless, the identification and classification are still controversial, which limits their application. In recent years, by lineage tracing and single-cell sequencing, several new subgroups of BMSCs and their roles in normal physiological and pathological conditions have been clarified. Key regulators and mechanisms controlling the fate of BMSCs are being revealed. Cross-talk among subgroups of bone marrow mesenchymal cells has been demonstrated. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the identification and classification of BMSCs, which provides important implications for clinical applications.

Immunomodulation of Skin Repair: Cell-Based Therapeutic Strategies for Skin Replacement (A Comprehensive Review). Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10010118. [PMID: 35052797 PMCID: PMC8773777 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10010118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The immune system has a crucial role in skin wound healing and the application of specific cell-laden immunomodulating biomaterials emerged as a possible treatment option to drive skin tissue regeneration. Cell-laden tissue-engineered skin substitutes have the ability to activate immune pathways, even in the absence of other immune-stimulating signals. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells with their immunomodulatory properties can create a specific immune microenvironment to reduce inflammation, scarring, and support skin regeneration. This review presents an overview of current wound care techniques including skin tissue engineering and biomaterials as a novel and promising approach. We highlight the plasticity and different roles of immune cells, in particular macrophages during various stages of skin wound healing. These aspects are pivotal to promote the regeneration of nonhealing wounds such as ulcers in diabetic patients. We believe that a better understanding of the intrinsic immunomodulatory features of stem cells in implantable skin substitutes will lead to new translational opportunities. This, in turn, will improve skin tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Once considered an inert filler of the bone cavity, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is now regarded as a metabolically active organ that plays versatile roles in endocrine function, hematopoiesis, bone homeostasis and metabolism, and, potentially, energy conservation. While the regulation of BMAT is inadequately understood, it is recognized as a unique and dynamic fat depot that is distinct from peripheral fat. As we age, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) accumulate throughout the bone marrow (BM) milieu to influence the microenvironment. This process is conceivably signaled by the secretion of adipocyte-derived factors including pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines. Adipokines participate in the development of a chronic state of low-grade systemic inflammation (inflammaging), which trigger changes in the immune system that are characterized by declining fidelity and efficiency and cause an imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory networks. In this review, we discuss the local effects of BMAT on bone homeostasis and the hematopoietic niche, age-related inflammatory changes associated with BMAT accrual, and the downstream effect on endocrine function, energy expenditure, and metabolism. Furthermore, we address therapeutic strategies to prevent BMAT accumulation and associated dysfunction during aging. In sum, BMAT is emerging as a critical player in aging and its explicit characterization still requires further research.

Osteoblast-specific inactivation of p53 results in locally increased bone formation. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0249894.

Abstract
Inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53 (encoded by the Trp53 gene) is relevant for development and growth of different cancers, including osteosarcoma, a primary bone tumor mostly affecting children and young adolescents. We have previously shown that deficiency of the ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (Rsk2) limits osteosarcoma growth in a transgenic mouse model overexpressing the proto-oncogene c-Fos. Our initial aim for the present study was to address the question, if Rsk2 deficiency would also influence osteosarcoma growth in another mouse model. For that purpose, we took advantage of Trp53fl/fl mice, which were crossed with Runx2Cre transgenic mice in order to inactivate p53 specifically in osteoblast lineage cells. However, since we unexpectedly identified Runx2Cre-mediated recombination also in the thymus, the majority of 6-month-old Trp53fl/fl;Runx2-Cre (thereafter termed Trp53Cre) animals displayed thymic lymphomas, similar to what has been described for Trp53-deficient mice. Since we did not detect osteosarcoma formation at that age, we could not follow our initial aim, but we studied the skeletal phenotype of Trp53Cre mice, with or without additional Rsk2 deficiency. Here we unexpectedly observed that Trp53Cre mice display a unique accumulation of trabecular bone in the midshaft region of the femur and the humerus, consistent with its previously established role as a negative regulator of osteoblastogenesis. Since this local bone mass increase in Trp53Cre mice was significantly reduced by Rsk2 deficiency, we isolated bone marrow cells from the different groups of mice and analyzed their behavior ex vivo. Here we observed a remarkable increase of colony formation, osteogenic differentiation and proliferation in Trp53Cre cultures, which was unaffected by Rsk2 deficiency. Our data thereby confirm a critical and tumorigenesis-independent function of p53 as a key regulator of mesenchymal cell differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) plays a role in systemic energy metabolism and responds to nutritional changes. Chronic starvation as well as visceral adiposity are associated with BMAT accumulation. Two types of BMAT have been described which differ in anatomic location (proximal-regulated-rBMAT vs distal-constitutive-cBMAT) and composition (higher unsaturated lipids of cBMAT compared to rBMAT). OBJECTIVE To determine the response of BMAT composition to short-term high-caloric feeding and fasting. We hypothesized that high-feeding and caloric restriction would be associated with differences in BMAT composition according to the skeletal site. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 23 healthy subjects (13 m, 10 f, mean age 33 ± 7 years, BMI 26 ± 1.5 kg/m2) who were admitted for a 10-day high-caloric stay (caloric intake with goal to achieve 7% weight gain) followed by discharge home for 13-18 days to resume normal diet (stabilization period), followed by a 10-day fasting stay (no caloric intake). Subjects underwent single voxel proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at 3T of the lumbar spine (L4) (rBMAT), the femoral diaphysis and distal tibial metaphysis (cBMAT) to determine BMAT composition (unsaturation index, UI and saturation index, SI). Within group comparisons were performed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS After the high-calorie visit, SI of L4 increased compared to baseline (0.62 ± 0.27 to 0.70 ± 0.28, p = 0.02), and there was a trend of an increase in femoral SI and UI (p ≥ 0.07), while there was no significant change in tibial BMAT (p ≥ 0.13). During the stabilization period, SI of L4 decreased (0.70 ± 0.28 to 0.57 ± 0.21, p < 0.0001) and SI of the femoral diaphysis decreased (5.37 ± 2.27 to 5.09 ± 2.43, p = 0.03), while there was no significant change in UI or tibial BMAT (p ≥ 0.14). During the fasting period, SI of L4 increased (0.57 ± 0.21 to 0.63 ± 0.30, p = 0.03), while there was no change in UI (p = 0.7). SI and UI of femoral diaphysis decreased (5.09 ± 2.43 to 4.68 ± 2.15, p = 0.03, and 0.62 ± 0.42 to 0.47 ± 0.37, p = 0.02, respectively) and UI of the tibial metaphysis decreased (1.48 ± 0.49 to 1.24 ± 0.57, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION 1H-MRS is able to quantify BMAT composition during short-term nutritional challenges, showing a significant increase in SI of rBMAT during high caloric feeding and a differential response to fasting with an increase in SI of rBMAT and a decrease in SI and UI of femoral cBMAT and decrease in UI of tibial cBMAT.

Abstract
Purpose Healing of osteoporotic defects is challenging and requires innovative approaches to elicit molecular mechanisms promoting osteoblasts-osteoclasts coupling and bone homeostasis. Methods Cytocompatibility and biocompatibility of previously characterised nanocomposites, i.e Ca5(PO4)3OH/Fe3O4 (later called nHAp/IO) functionalised with microRNAs (nHAp/IO@miR-21/124) was tested. In vitro studies were performed using a direct co-culture system of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast and 4B12 pre-osteoclasts. The analysis included determination of nanocomposite influence on cultures morphology (confocal imaging), viability and metabolic activity (Alamar Blue assay). Pro-osteogenic signals were identified at mRNA, miRNA and protein level with RT-qPCR, Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Biocompatibility of biomaterials was tested using bilateral cranial defect performed on a senescence-accelerated mouse model, ie SAM/P6 and Balb/c. The effect of biomaterial on the process of bone healing was monitored using microcomputed tomography. Results The nanocomposites promoted survival and metabolism of bone cells, as well as enhanced functional differentiation of pre-osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 in co-cultures with pre-osteoclasts. Differentiation of MC3T3-E1 driven by nHAp/IO@miR-21/124 nanocomposite was manifested by improved extracellular matrix differentiation and up-regulation of pro-osteogenic transcripts, ie late osteogenesis markers. The nanocomposite triggered bone healing in a cranial defect model in SAM/P6 mice and was replaced by functional bone in Balb/c mice. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the novel nanocomposite nHAp/IO can serve as a platform for therapeutic miRNA delivery. Obtained nanocomposite elicit pro-osteogenic signals, decreasing osteoclasts differentiation, simultaneously improving osteoblasts metabolism and their transition toward pre-osteocytes and bone mineralisation. The proposed scaffold can be an effective interface for in situ regeneration of osteoporotic bone, especially in elderly patients.

Abstract
Bone stroma contributes to the regulation of osteogenesis and hematopoiesis but also to fracture healing and disease processes. Mesenchymal stromal cells from bone (BMSCs) represent a heterogenous mixture of different subpopulations with distinct molecular and functional properties. The lineage relationship between BMSC subsets and their regulation by intrinsic and extrinsic factors are not well understood. Here, we show with mouse genetics, ex vivo cell differentiation assays, and transcriptional profiling that BMSCs from metaphysis (mpMSCs) and diaphysis (dpMSCs) are fundamentally distinct. Fate-tracking experiments and single-cell RNA sequencing indicate that bone-forming osteoblast lineage cells and dpMSCs, including leptin receptor-positive (LepR+) reticular cells in bone marrow, emerge from mpMSCs in the postnatal metaphysis. Finally, we show that BMSC fate is controlled by platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) signaling and the transcription factor Jun-B. The sum of our findings improves our understanding of BMSC development, lineage relationships, and differentiation.

Abstract
Objectives Scavenger receptor class A, member 3 (Scara3) was involved in adipogenesis. However, the effect of Scara3 on the switch between osteogenesis and adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) remains elusive. Materials and Methods The correlations between SCARA3 with the osteogenic‐related were analysed based on the GTEx database. The effects of Scara3 on osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs were evaluated by qPCR, Western blot (WB) and cell staining. The mechanisms of Scara3 regulating Foxo1 and autophagy were validated by co‐expression analysis, WB and immunofluorescence. In vivo, Scara3 adeno‐associated virus was injected into intra‐bone marrow of the aged mice and ovariectomized (OVX) mice whose phenotypes were confirmed by micro‐CT, calcein double labelling and immunochemistry (HE and OCN staining). Results SCARA3 was positively correlated with osteogenic‐related genes. Scara3 expression gradually decreased during adipogenesis but increased during osteogenesis. Moreover, the deletion of Scara3 favoured adipogenesis over osteogenesis, whereas overexpression of Scara3 significantly enhanced the osteogenesis at the expense of adipogenesis. Mechanistically, Scara3 controlled the cell fate by promoting Foxo1 expression and autophagy flux. In vivo, Scara3 promoted bone formation and reduced bone marrow fat accumulation in OVX mice. In the aged mice, Scara3 overexpression alleviated bone loss as well. Conclusions This study suggested that Scara3 regulated the switch between adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation, which represented a potential therapeutic target for bone loss and osteoporosis.

Abstract
A fraction of patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) will develop recurrent castrate-resistant PCa (CRPC) in bone. Strategies to prevent CRPC relapse in bone are lacking. Here we show that the cholesterol-lowering drugs statins decrease castration-induced bone marrow adiposity in the tumor microenvironment and reduce PCa progression in bone. Using primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) and M2-10B4 cells, we showed that ADT increases bone marrow adiposity by enhancing BMSC-to-adipocyte transition in vitro. Knockdown of androgen receptor abrogated BMSC-to-adipocyte transition, suggesting an androgen receptor-dependent event. RNAseq analysis showed that androgens reduce the secretion of adipocyte hormones/cytokines including leptin during BMSC-to-adipocyte transition. Treatment of PCa C4-2b, C4-2B4, and PC3 cells with leptin led to an increase in cell cycle progression and nuclear Stat3. RNAseq analysis also showed that androgens inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, raising the possibility that inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis may decrease BMSC-to-adipocyte transition. Indeed, statins decreased BMSC-to-adipocyte transition in vitro and castration-induced bone marrow adiposity in vivo. Statin pre-treatment reduced 22RV1 PCa progression in bone after ADT. Our findings with statin may provide one of the mechanisms to the clinical correlations that statin use in patients undergoing ADT seems to delay progression to "lethal" PCa.

The Effect of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue and Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal, Nondiabetic Women. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2021; 29:1120-1127. [PMID: 33951317 PMCID: PMC8359834 DOI: 10.1002/oby.23171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal, nondiabetic women. METHODS A total of 14 postmenopausal, nondiabetic women with obesity who were scheduled for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) were included in this study. Vertebral bone marrow fat signal fraction was determined by quantitative chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging, and vertebral volumetric BMD (vBMD) was determined by quantitative computed tomography before surgery and 3 and 12 months after surgery. Data were analyzed by linear mixed model. RESULTS Body weight [mean (SD)] decreased after surgery from 108 (13) kg at baseline to 89 (12) kg at 3 months and 74 (11) kg at 12 months (P < 0.001). BMAT decreased after surgery from 51% (8%) at baseline to 50% (8%) at 3 months and 46% (7%) at 12 months (P = 0.004). vBMD decreased after surgery from 101 (26) mg/cm3 at baseline to 94 (28) mg/cm3 at 3 months (P = 0.003) and 94 (28) mg/cm3 at 12 months (P = 0.035). Changes in BMAT and vBMD were not correlated (ρ = -0.10 and P = 0.75). Calcium and vitamin D concentrations did not change after surgery. CONCLUSIONS RYGB decreases both BMAT (after 12 months) and vBMD (both after 3 months and 12 months) in postmenopausal, nondiabetic women. Changes in BMAT and vBMD were not correlated. These findings suggest that BMAT does not contribute to bone loss following RYGB.
