[PMID: 38923594 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202302582rr] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Physiological processes within the human body are regulated in approximately 24-h cycles known as circadian rhythms, serving to adapt to environmental changes. Bone rhythms play pivotal roles in bone development, metabolism, mineralization, and remodeling processes. Bone rhythms exhibit cell specificity, and different cells in bone display various expressions of clock genes. Multiple environmental factors, including light, feeding, exercise, and temperature, affect bone diurnal rhythms through the sympathetic nervous system and various hormones. Disruptions in bone diurnal rhythms contribute to the onset of skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and skeletal hypoplasia. Conversely, these bone diseases can be effectively treated when aimed at the circadian clock in bone cells, including the rhythmic expressions of clock genes and drug targets. In this review, we describe the unique circadian rhythms in physiological activities of various bone cells. Then we summarize the factors synchronizing the diurnal rhythms of bone with the underlying mechanisms. Based on the review, we aim to build an overall understanding of the diurnal rhythms in bone and summarize the new preventive and therapeutic strategies for bone disorders.

[PMID: 38421080 DOI: 10.1002/med.22031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Over the past decades, emerging evidence in the literature has demonstrated that the innervation of bone is a crucial modulator for skeletal physiology and pathophysiology. The nerve-bone axis sparked extensive preclinical and clinical investigations aimed at elucidating the contribution of nerve-bone crosstalks to skeleton metabolism, homeostasis, and injury repair through the perspective of skeletal neurobiology. To date, peripheral nerves have been widely reported to mediate bone growth and development and fracture healing via the secretion of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, axon guidance factors, and neurotrophins. Relevant studies have further identified several critical neural pathways that stimulate profound alterations in bone cell biology, revealing a complex interplay between the skeleton and nerve systems. In addition, inspired by nerve-bone crosstalk, novel drug delivery systems and bioactive materials have been developed to emulate and facilitate the process of natural bone repair through neuromodulation, eventually boosting osteogenesis for ideal skeletal tissue regeneration. Overall, this work aims to review the novel research findings that contribute to deepening the current understanding of the nerve-bone axis, bringing forth some schemas that can be translated into the clinical scenario to highlight the critical roles of neuromodulation in the skeletal system.

Abstract
Although, during the past decades, substantial advances emerged in identifying major local and systemic factors contributing to initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA), some neuroendocrine mechanisms are still not understood or even neglected when thinking about novel therapeutic options. One of which is the sympathetic nervous system that exhibits various OA-promoting effects in different tissues of the joint. Interestingly, the β2-adrenoceptor (AR) mediates the majority of these effects as demonstrated by several in vitro, in vivo as well as in clinical studies. This review article does not only summarize studies of the past two decades demonstrating that the β2-AR plays an OA-promoting role in different tissues of the joint but also aims to encourage the reader to think about next-level research to discover novel and innovative preventive and/or therapeutic strategies targeting the β2-AR in OA.

Abstract
The circadian clock throughout the day organizes the activity of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the dentate gyrus (DG) of adult hippocampus temporally. However, it is still unclear whether and how circadian signals from the niches contribute to daily rhythmic variation of NSC activation. Here, we show that norepinephrinergic (NEergic) projections from the locus coeruleus (LC), a brain arousal system, innervate into adult DG, where daily rhythmic release of norepinephrine (NE) from the LC NEergic neurons controlled circadian variation of NSC activation through β3-adrenoceptors. Disrupted circadian rhythmicity by acute sleep deprivation leads to transient NSC overactivation and NSC pool exhaustion over time, which is effectively ameliorated by the inhibition of the LC NEergic neuronal activity or β3-adrenoceptors-mediated signaling. Finally, we demonstrate that NE/β3-adrenoceptors-mediated signaling regulates NSC activation through molecular clock BMAL1. Therefore, our study unravels that adult NSCs precisely coordinate circadian neural circuit and intrinsic molecular circadian clock to adapt their cellular behavior across the day.

Abstract
The skeleton is a highly innervated organ in which nerve fibers interact with various skeletal cells. Peripheral nerve endings release neurogenic factors and sense skeletal signals, which mediate bone metabolism and skeletal pain. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has increasingly focused on the effects of the nervous system on bone regeneration. Simultaneous regeneration of bone and nerves through the use of materials or by the enhancement of endogenous neurogenic repair signals has been proven to promote functional bone regeneration. Additionally, emerging information on the mechanisms of skeletal interoception and the central nervous system regulation of bone homeostasis provide an opportunity for advancing biomaterials. However, comprehensive reviews of this topic are lacking. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the relationship between nerves and bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering applications. We discuss novel regulatory mechanisms and explore innovative approaches based on nerve-bone interactions for bone regeneration. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of this field are briefly discussed.

J Orthop Translat 2023; 40:1-12. [PMID: 37181480 PMCID: PMC10173072 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2023.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although neuroregulation plays an important role in tissue healing, the key neuroregulatory pathways and related neurotransmitters involved in bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing are still unknown. It is reported that sympathetic nerves can regulate cartilage and bone metabolism, which are the basic aspects of BTI repair after injury, through the release of norepinephrine (NE). Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the effect of local sympatholysis (LS) on BTI healing in a murine rotator cuff repair model. Methods Specifically, C57BL/6 mice underwent unilateral supraspinatus tendon (SST) detachment and repair was established on a total of 174 mature C57BL/6 mice (12 weeks old): 54 mice were used to examine the sympathetic fibers and its neurotransmitter NE for the representation of sympathetic innervation of BTI, while the rest of them were randomly allocated into (LS) group and control group to verify the effect of sympathetic denervation during BTI healing. The LS group were intervened with fibrin sealant containing 10 ng/ml guanethidine, while the control group received fibrin sealant only. Mice were euthanized at postoperative 2, 4 and 8 weeks for immunofluorescent, qRT-PCR, ELISA, Micro-computed tomography (CT), histology and biomechanical evaluations. Results Immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR and ELISA evaluations indicated that there were the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), NE and β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) at the BTI site. All the above showed a trend of increasing at the early postoperative stage and they started to decrease with the healing time after a significant peak. Meanwhile, local sympathetic denervation of BTI was achieved after the use of guanethidine as shown in the NE ELISA outcomes in two groups. QRT-PCR analysis revealed that the healing interface in the LS group expressed more transcription factors, such as Runx2, Bmp2, Sox9, and Aggrecan, than the control group. Further, radiographic data showed that the LS group significantly possessed higher bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and lower trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) than the control group. Also, histological test results showed that there was more fibrocartilage regenerated at the healing interface in the LS group compared with the control group. Mechanical testing results demonstrated that the failure load, ultimate strength and stiffness in the LS group were significantly higher at postoperative week 4 (P < 0.05), but not at postoperative week 8 (P > 0.05), compared to the control group. Conclusion The regulation of sympathetic innervation was involved in the healing process of injured BTI, and local sympathetic denervation by using guanethidine was beneficial for BTI healing outcomes.The translational potential of this article: This is the first study to evaluate the expression and specific role of sympathetic innervation during BTI healing. The findings of this study also imply that the antagonists of β2-AR could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for BTI healing. Also, we firstly successfully constructed a local sympathetic denervation mouse model by using guanethidine loaded fibrin sealant, which provided a new effective methodology for future neuroskeletal biology study.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system plays a vital role in various regulatory mechanisms. These include the well-known fight-or-flight response but also, for example, the processing of external stressors. In addition to many other tissues, the sympathetic nervous system influences bone metabolism. This effect could be highly relevant concerning osseointegration, which is responsible for the long-term success of dental implants. Accordingly, this review aims to summarize the current literature on this topic and to reveal future research perspectives. One in vitro study showed differences in mRNA expression of adrenoceptors cultured on implant surfaces. In vivo, sympathectomy impaired osseointegration in mice, while electrical stimulation of the sympathetic nerves promoted it. As expected, the beta-blocker propranolol improves histological implant parameters and micro-CT measurements. Overall, the present data are considered heterogeneous. However, the available publications reveal the potential for future research and development in dental implantology, which helps to introduce new therapeutic strategies and identify risk factors for dental implant failure.

Hallmarks of peripheral nerve function in bone regeneration. Bone Res 2023; 11:6.

Abstract
Skeletal tissue is highly innervated. Although different types of nerves have been recently identified in the bone, the crosstalk between bone and nerves remains unclear. In this review, we outline the role of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in bone regeneration following injury. We first introduce the conserved role of nerves in tissue regeneration in species ranging from amphibians to mammals. We then present the distribution of the PNS in the skeletal system under physiological conditions, fractures, or regeneration. Furthermore, we summarize the ways in which the PNS communicates with bone-lineage cells, the vasculature, and immune cells in the bone microenvironment. Based on this comprehensive and timely review, we conclude that the PNS regulates bone regeneration through neuropeptides or neurotransmitters and cells in the peripheral nerves. An in-depth understanding of the roles of peripheral nerves in bone regeneration will inform the development of new strategies based on bone-nerve crosstalk in promoting bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of global mortality, in which myocardial infarction accounts for 46% of total deaths. Although good progress has been achieved in medication and interventional techniques, a proven method to repair the damaged myocardium has not yet been determined. Stem cell therapy for damaged myocardial repair has evolved into a promising treatment for ischemic heart disease. However, low retention and poor survival of the injected stem cells are the major obstacles to achieving the intended therapeutic effects. Chinese botanical and other natural drug substances are a rich source of effective treatment for various diseases. As such, numerous studies have revealed the role of Chinese medicine in stem cell therapy for myocardial infarction treatment, including promoting proliferation, survival, migration, angiogenesis, and differentiation of stem cells. Here, we discuss the potential and limitations of stem cell therapy, as well as the regulatory mechanism of Chinese medicines underlying stem cell therapy. We focus on the evidence from pre-clinical trials and clinical practices, and based on traditional Chinese medicine theories, we further summarize the mechanisms of Chinese medicine treatment in stem cell therapy by the commonly used prescriptions. Despite the pre-clinical evidence showing that traditional Chinese medicine is helpful in stem cell therapy, there are still some limitations of traditional Chinese medicine therapy. We also systematically assess the detailed experimental design and reliability of included pharmacological research in our review. Strictly controlled animal models with multi-perspective pharmacokinetic profiles and high-grade clinical evidence with multi-disciplinary efforts are highly demanded in the future.

Abstract
Catecholamine signaling is known to influence bone tissue as reuptake of norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerves into bone cells declines with age leading to osteoporosis. Further, β-adrenoceptor-blockers like propranolol provoke osteoprotective effects in osteoporotic patients. However, besides systemic adrenal and sympathetic catecholamine production, it is also known that myeloid cells can synthesize catecholamines, especially under inflammatory conditions. To investigate the effects of catecholamines produced by CD11b+ myeloid cells on bone turnover and regeneration, a mouse line with specific knockout of tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of catecholamine synthesis, in CD11b+ myeloid cells (THflox/flox/CD11b-Cre+, referred to as THCD11b-Cre) was generated. For bone phenotyping, male mice were sacrificed at eight and twelve weeks of age and harvested bones were subjected to bone length measurement, micro-computed tomography, fluorescence-activated cell sorting of the bone marrow, gene expression analysis, histology and immunohistochemistry. Support for an age-dependent influence of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines on bone homeostasis is provided by the fact that twelve-week-old, but not eight-week-old THCD11b-Cre mice, developed an osteopenic phenotype and showed increased numbers of neutrophils and T lymphocytes in the bone marrow, while CCL2, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA expression was reduced in sorted myeloid bone marrow cells. To investigate the influence of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines on fracture healing, mice received a diaphyseal femur osteotomy. Three days post-fracture, immunohistochemistry revealed an increased number of macrophages, neutrophils and cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the fracture hematoma of THCD11b-Cre mice. Micro-computed tomography on day 21 showed a decreased tissue mineral density, a reduced bone volume and less trabeculae in the fracture callus indicating delayed fracture healing, probably due to the increased presence of inflammatory cells in THCD11b-Cre mice. This indicates a crucial role of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines in immune cell-bone cell crosstalk and during fracture healing.

TSCI with Concurrent TBI: Pathophysiological Interaction and Impact on MSC Treatment. Cells 2021; 10:2955. [PMID: 34831179 PMCID: PMC8616497 DOI: 10.3390/cells10112955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), commonly caused by high energy trauma in young active patients, is frequently accompanied by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although combined trauma results in inferior clinical outcomes and a higher mortality rate, the understanding of the pathophysiological interaction of co-occurring TSCI and TBI remains limited. This review provides a detailed overview of the local and systemic alterations due to TSCI and TBI, which severely affect the autonomic and sensory nervous system, immune response, the blood-brain and spinal cord barrier, local perfusion, endocrine homeostasis, posttraumatic metabolism, and circadian rhythm. Because currently developed mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapeutic strategies for TSCI provide only mild benefit, this review raises awareness of the impact of TSCI-TBI interaction on TSCI pathophysiology and MSC treatment. Therefore, we propose that unravelling the underlying pathophysiology of TSCI with concomitant TBI will reveal promising pharmacological targets and therapeutic strategies for regenerative therapies, further improving MSC therapy.

Abstract
Objective Hypersympathetic activity is prominent in rheumatoid arthritis, and major life stressors precede onset in ~80% of patients. These findings and others support a link between stress, the sympathetic nervous system and disease onset and progression. Here, we extend previous research by evaluating how selective peripherally acting α/β2-adrenergic drugs affect joint destruction in adjuvant-induced arthritis. Methods Complete Freund's adjuvant induced inflammatory arthritis in male Lewis rats. Controls received no treatment. Arthritic rats then received vehicle or twice-daily treatment with the α-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine (0.5 mg/day) and the β2-adrenergic agonist, terbutaline (1200 µg/day, collectively named SH1293) from day (D) of disease onset (D12) through acute (D21) and severe disease (D28). Disease progression was assessed in the hind limbs using dorsoplantar widths, X-ray analysis, micro-computed tomography, and routine histology on D14, D21, and D28 post-immunization. Results On D21, SH1293 significantly attenuated arthritis in the hind limbs, based on reduced lymphocytic infiltration, preservation of cartilage, and bone volume. Pannus formation and sympathetic nerve loss were not affected by SH1293. Bone area and osteoclast number revealed high- and low-treatment-responding groups. In high-responding rats, treatment with SH1293 significantly preserved bone area and decreased osteoclast number, data that correlated with drug-mediated joint preservation. SH1293 suppressed abnormal bone formation based on reduced production of osteophytes. On D28, the arthritic sparing effects of SH1293 on lymphocytic infiltration, cartilage and bone sparing were maintained at the expense of bone marrow adipocity. However, sympathetic nerves were retracted from the talocrural joint. Conclusion and Significance Our findings support a significant delay in early arthritis progression by treatment with SH1293. Targeting sympathetic neurotransmission may provide a strategy to slow disease progression.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke caused by cerebral artery occlusion induces neurological deficits because of cell damage or death in the central nervous system. Given the recent therapeutic advances in reperfusion therapies, some patients can now recover from an ischemic stroke with no sequelae. Currently, reperfusion therapies focus on rescuing neural lineage cells that survive in spite of decreases in cerebral blood flow. However, vascular lineage cells are known to be more resistant to ischemia/hypoxia than neural lineage cells. This indicates that ischemic areas of the brain experience neural cell death but without vascular cell death. Emerging evidence suggests that if a vascular cell-mediated healing system is present within ischemic areas following reperfusion, the therapeutic time window can be extended for patients with stroke. In this review, we present our comments on this subject based upon recent findings from lethal ischemia following reperfusion in a mouse model of stroke.
