Abstract
Cutaneous-skeletal hypophosphatemia syndrome (CSHS) is a rare bone disorder featuring fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23)-mediated hypophosphatemic rickets. We report a 2-year, 10-month-old girl with CSHS treated with burosumab, a novel human monoclonal antibody targeting FGF23. This approach was associated with rickets healing, improvement in growth and lower limb deformity, and clinically significant benefit to her functional mobility and motor development. This case report provides evidence for the effective use of FGF23-neutralizing antibody therapy beyond the classic FGF23-mediated disorders of X-linked hypophosphatemia and tumor-induced osteomalacia.

Abstract
Noonan, Costello and Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndromes belong to a group of disorders named RASopathies due to their common pathogenetic origin that lies on the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. Genetics has eased, at least in part, the distinction of these entities as they are presented with overlapping clinical features which, sometimes, become more pronounced with age. Distinctive face, cardiac and skeletal defects are among the primary abnormalities seen in these patients. Skeletal dysmorphisms range from mild to severe and may include anterior chest wall anomalies, scoliosis, kyphosis, short stature, hand anomalies, muscle weakness, osteopenia or/and osteoporosis. Patients usually have increased serum concentrations of bone resorption markers, while markers of bone formation are within normal range. The causative molecular defects encompass the members of the Ras/MAPK/ERK pathway and the adjacent cascades, important for the maintenance of normal bone homeostasis. It has been suggested that modulation of the expression of specific molecules involved in the processes of bone remodeling may affect the osteogenic fate decision, potentially, bringing out new pharmaceutical targets. Currently, the laboratory imprint of bone metabolism on the clinical picture of the affected individuals is not clear, maybe due to the rarity of these syndromes, the small number of the recruited patients and the methods used for the description of their clinical and biochemical profiles.

Abstract
The RASopathies are a group of disorders due to pathogenic variants in genes involved in the Ras/MAPK pathway, many of which have overlapping clinical features (e.g., neurofibromatosis type 1, Costello syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and Noonan syndrome) including musculoskeletal manifestations. Osteopenia and osteoporosis are reported in many of the RASopathies suggesting a shared pathogenesis. Even though osteopenia and osteoporosis are often detected and fractures have been reported, the clinical impact of bone mineralization defects on the skeleton of the various syndromes is poorly understood. Further knowledge of the role of the Ras/MAPK pathway on the bone cellular function, and more detailed musculoskeletal phenotyping will be critical in helping to develop therapies to improve bone health in the RASopathies.

Abstract
Bacterium-induced inflammatory responses cause bone nonunion. Although antibiotics suppress infection, bone loss after antibacterial treatment remains a critical challenge. Erxian herbal pair (EHP) has been proven effective in promoting bone formation. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of EHP on bone repair after anti-infection treatment, explore its effect on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoblast. We evaluated effects of EHP on bone repair with Micro-CT, and morphology detecting. Chemical constituents of EHP and EHP-containing serum (EHP-CS) were identified by UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS. In addition, osteoblast induced by LPS was established and administrated with EHP-CS. Cell proliferationwas assessed by MTT. Target prediction identified SMAD2 as a potential target of miRNA-34a-5p. MiRNA mimic, inhibitor and siRNA were transiently transfected into osteoblasts. The mRNA levels and protein expressions of miRNA-34a-5p, BMP2, Runx2, SMAD2 were assessed. The results showed that the main biocactivity ingredients in EHP-CS were Baohuoside Ι and Orcinol Glucoside. EHP could promote bone remolding after anti-infection therapy and restore the activity of LPS-induced osteoblasts. Moreover, miRNA-34a-5p was dramatically downregulated and SMAD2 was upregulated after LPS stimulation, while EHP resisted the inhibition of LPS by promoting miRNA-34a-5p, ALP, and BMP2 expressions. Whereas downregulation of miRNA-34a-5p reversed these effects. Silencing endogenous SMAD2 expression markedly promoted BMP2 and ALP activity and enhanced osteogenesis. Taken together, EHP restored LPS-induced bone loss by regulating miRNA-34a-5p levels and repressing its target gene SMAD2. EHP might be a potential adjuvant herbal remedy for the treatment of bone nonunion, and miRNA-34a-5p is a novel target for controlling bone and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The RASopathies comprise an ever-growing number of clinical syndromes resulting from germline mutations in components of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. While multiple organs and tissues may be affected by these mutations, this review will focus on how these mutations specifically impact the musculoskeletal system. Herein, we review the genetics and musculoskeletal phenotypes of these syndromes in humans. We discuss how mutations in the RASopathy syndromes have been studied in translational mouse models. Finally, we discuss how signaling molecules within the RAS/MAPK pathway are involved in normal and abnormal bone biology in the context of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes.

Abstract
Costello syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in HRAS. Although CS patients have skeletal abnormalities, the role of mutated HRAS in bone development remains unclear. Here, we use CS induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) undergoing osteogenic differentiation to investigate how dysregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling proteins contributes to impaired osteogenesis. Although CS patient-derived iPSCs develop normally to produce mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the resulting CS MSCs show defective osteogenesis with reduced alkaline phosphatase activity and lower levels of bone mineralization. We found that hyperactivation of SMAD3 signaling during the osteogenic differentiation of CS MSCs leads to aberrant expression of ECM remodeling proteins such as MMP13, TIMP1, and TIMP2. CS MSCs undergoing osteogenic differentiation also show reduced β-catenin signaling. Knockdown of TIMPs permits normal differentiation of CS MSCs into osteoblasts and enhances β-catenin signaling in a RUNX2-independent manner. Thus, this study demonstrates that enhanced TIMP expression induced by hyperactivated SMAD3 signaling impairs the osteogenic development of CS MSCs via an inactivation of β-catenin signaling.
