Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a refractory orthopedic condition characterized by bone cell ischemia, necrosis, bone trabecular fracture, and clinical symptoms such as pain, femoral head collapse, and joint dysfunction that can lead to disability. The disability rate of ONFH is very high, which imposes a significant economic burden on both families and society. Steroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is the most common type of ONFH. However, the pathogenesis of SANFH remains unclear, and it is an urgent challenge for orthopedic surgeons to explore it. In this paper, the pathogenesis of SANFH and its related signaling pathways were briefly reviewed to enhance comprehension of the pathogenesis and prevention of SANFH.

Abstract
Aims Free fatty acid receptor 4 (Ffar4) is a receptor for long-chain fatty acids that attenuates heart failure driven by increased afterload. Recent findings suggest that Ffar4 prevents ischemic injury in brain, liver, and kidney, and therefore, we hypothesized that Ffar4 would also attenuate cardiac ischemic injury. Methods and Results Using a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), we found that mice with systemic deletion of Ffar4 (Ffar4KO) demonstrated impaired recovery of left ventricular systolic function post-I/R with no effect on initial infarct size. To identify potential mechanistic explanations for the cardioprotective effects of Ffar4, we performed bulk RNAseq to compare the transcriptomes from wild-type (WT) and Ffar4KO infarcted myocardium 3-days post-I/R. In the Ffar4KO infarcted myocardium, gene ontology (GO) analyses revealed augmentation of glycosaminoglycan synthesis, neutrophil activation, cadherin binding, extracellular matrix, rho signaling, and oxylipin synthesis, but impaired glycolytic and fatty acid metabolism, cardiac repolarization, and phosphodiesterase activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated impaired AMPK signaling and augmented cellular senescence in the Ffar4KO infarcted myocardium. Interestingly, phosphodiesterase 6c (PDE6c), which degrades cGMP, was the most upregulated gene in the Ffar4KO heart. Further, the soluble guanylyl cyclase stimulator, vericiguat, failed to increase cGMP in Ffar4KO cardiac myocytes, suggesting increased phosphodiesterase activity. Finally, cardiac myocyte-specific overexpression of Ffar4 prevented systolic dysfunction post-I/R, defining a cardioprotective role of Ffa4 in cardiac myocytes. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that Ffar4 in cardiac myocytes attenuates systolic dysfunction post-I/R, potentially by attenuating oxidative stress, preserving mitochondrial function, and modulation of cGMP signaling.

Abstract
Persistent inflammation in damaged joints results in metabolic dysregulation of the synovial microenvironment, causing pathogenic alteration of cell activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recently, the role of metabolite and metabolite-sensing G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the RA-related inflammatory immune response (IIR) has become a focus of research attention. These GPCRs participate in the progression of RA by modulating immune cell activation, migration, and inflammatory responses. Here, we discuss recent evidence implicating metabolic dysregulation in RA pathogenesis, focusing on the connection between RA-related IIR and GPCR signals originating from the synovial joint and gut. Furthermore, we discuss future directions for targeting metabolite-sensing GPCRs for therapeutic benefit, emphasizing the importance of identifying endogenous ligands and investigating the various transduction mechanisms involved.

CB2 regulates oxidative stress and osteoclastogenesis through NOX1-dependent signaling pathway in titanium particle-induced osteolysis. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:461. [PMID: 38104087 PMCID: PMC10725463 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01761-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) induced by wear particles at the interface between the prosthesis and bone is a crucial issue of periprosthetic bone loss and implant failure. After wear and tear, granular material accumulates around the joint prosthesis, causing a chronic inflammatory response, progressive osteoclast activation and eventual loosening of the prosthesis. Although many studies have been conducted to address bone loss after joint replacement surgeries, they have not fully addressed these issues. Focusing on osteoclast activation induced by particles has important theoretical implications. Cannabinoid type II receptor (CB2) is a seven-transmembrane receptor that is predominantly distributed in the human immune system and has been revealed to be highly expressed in bone-associated cells. Previous studies have shown that modulation of CB2 has a positive effect on bone metabolism. However, the exact mechanism has not yet been elucidated. In our experiments, we found that NOX1-mediated ROS accumulation was involved in titanium particle-stimulated osteoclast differentiation. Furthermore, we confirmed that CB2 blockade alleviated titanium particle-stimulated osteoclast activation by inhibiting the NOX1-mediated oxidative stress pathway. In animal experiments, downregulation of CB2 alleviated the occurrence of titanium particle-induced cranial osteolysis by inhibiting osteoclasts and scavenging intracellular ROS. Collectively, our results suggest that CB2 blockade may be an attractive and promising therapeutic scheme for particle-stimulated osteoclast differentiation and preventing PPO.

Abstract
Aims Currently, the effect of drug treatment for osteoporosis is relatively poor, and the side effects are numerous and serious. Melatonin is a potential drug to improve bone mass in postmenopausal women. Unfortunately, the mechanism by which melatonin improves bone metabolism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to further investigate the potential mechanism of melatonin in the treatment of osteoporosis. Methods The effects of melatonin on mitochondrial apoptosis protein, bmal1 gene, and related pathway proteins of RAW264.7 (mouse mononuclear macrophage leukaemia cells) were analyzed by western blot. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to evaluate the effect of melatonin on cell viability. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the effect of melatonin on the apoptosis of RAW264.7 cells and mitochondrial membrane potential. A reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection kit was used to evaluate the level of ROS in osteoclast precursors. We used bmal1-small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to downregulate the Bmal1 gene. We established a postmenopausal mouse model and verified the effect of melatonin on the bone mass of postmenopausal osteoporosis in mice via micro-CT. Bmal1 lentiviral activation particles were used to establish an in vitro model of overexpression of the bmal1 gene. Results Melatonin promoted apoptosis of RAW264.7 cells and increased the expression of BMAL1 to inhibit the activation of ROS and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-p38. Silencing the bmal1 gene weakened the above effects of melatonin. After that, we used dehydrocorydaline (DHC) to enhance the activation of MAPK-p38, and the effects of melatonin on reducing ROS levels and promoting apoptosis of RAW264.7 cells were also blocked. Then, we constructed a mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis and administered melatonin. The results showed that melatonin improves bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Finally, we established a model of overexpression of the bmal1 gene, and these results suggest that the bmal1 gene can regulate ROS activity and change the level of the MAPK-p38 signalling pathway. Conclusion Our study confirmed that melatonin promotes the apoptosis of RAW264.7 cells through BMAL1/ROS/MAPK-p38, and revealed the therapeutic effect and mechanism of melatonin in postmenopausal osteoporosis. This finding enriches BMAL1 as a potential target for the treatment of osteoporosis and the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
The link between fatty acids and bone metabolism is complex and can be direct and indirect. This link has been reported in different types of bone cells and various stages of bone metabolism. G-protein coupled receptor 120 (GPR120), also called free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4), is a member of the recently discovered G protein-coupled receptor family that can interact with both long-chain saturated fatty acids (C14-C18) and long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (C16-C22). Research shows that GPR120 regulates processes in different types of bone cells, directly or indirectly affecting bone metabolism. Our research reviewed the literature on the effects of GPR120 on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and chondrocytes, focusing on the research findings regarding the mechanism by which GPR120 alters specific bone metabolic diseases-osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. The data reviewed here provide a basis for clinical and basic research into the role of GPR120 on bone metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The formation of osteoclasts and their hyperactive bone resorption are related to the aggregation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Flavonoids, derived from plant active ingredients, can alleviate the symptoms of osteoporosis (OP). Isosinensetin (Iss) is a flavonoid with antioxidant effects obtained mainly from citrus fruits, and its effect on osteoclastogenesis has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activity of Iss on osteoclast differentiation and function, as well as the therapeutic impact of Iss on OP. We found that Iss inhibited osteoclastogenesis and suppressed the bone resorption function of osteoclasts. Additionally, Iss reduced receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced intracellular ROS. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot, we further found that Iss inhibited osteoclast-specific genes and related proteins, while promoting the expression of antioxidant enzyme-related genes and proteins. Mechanistically, Iss reduces intracellular ROS by activating nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its related antioxidant enzymes and inhibits the downstream nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways of ROS, which in turn inhibits nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), and ultimately inhibits osteoclastogenesis. In vivo, by micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) assay and histological analyses, we found that Iss could reduce bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Therefore, Iss has the potential as an OP preventative and therapeutic drug option.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is different from other forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and cuproptosis, mainly involving iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis plays an important role in various disease, such as malignant tumors, neuron-degenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, and has become the focus of current research. Both iron overload and lipid peroxide accumulation contribute to the occurrence, development, and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteosarcoma, intervertebral disc degeneration, and spinal cord injury. For a better understanding of the potential roles ferroptosis may play in pathophysiology and treatment of common musculoskeletal disorders, this article briefly reviewed the relationship and possible mechanisms. Through an investigation of ferroptosis’ role in musculoskeletal diseases’ occurrence, development, and treatment, ferroptosis could offer new opportunities for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periplaneta americana extract (PAE) is proven to be promising in treating fever, wound healing, liver fibrosis, and cardiovascular disease. However, the role of PAE in skeletal disorders remains unclear. This study investigated whether PAE regulates osteoclastic differentiation in vitro via the culture using RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs). MATERIALS AND METHODS RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs were cultured and induced for osteoclastic differentiation supplementing with different concentrations of PAE (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/mL). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the cytotoxicity and cell proliferation. TRAP staining, actin ring staining, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and bone resorption activity test were performed to detect osteoclastic differentiation. RT-qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to assay the expression and secretion of inflammatory factors. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and western blot analysis were carried out to uncover the underlying mechanism. RESULTS CCK-8 results showed that 10 mg/mL and a lower concentration of PAE did not affect cell proliferation. RT-qPCR analysis verified that PAE down-regulated the osteoclastic genes Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Acp5 in macrophages. Moreover, PAE restrained the differentiation, formation, and function of osteoclasts. Besides, RT-qPCR and ELISA assays showed that PAE decreased inflammatory genes expression and reduced the secretion of inflammatory factors, including IL1β, IL6, and TNFα. Subsequent RNA-seq analysis identified possible genes and signaling pathways of PAE-mediated osteoclastogenesis suppression. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that PAE has inhibitive effects on osteoclastogenesis and may be a potential therapeutic alternative for bone diseases.

Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics are believed to take place during osteoclastogenesis. This study aims to assess changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels during polyethylene (PE)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro. For this purpose, RAW264.7 cells were cultured for nine days and allowed to differentiate into osteoclasts in the presence of PE and RANKL. The total TRAP-positive cells, resorption activity, expression of osteoclast marker genes, ROS level, mitochondrial bioenergetics, glycolysis, and substrate utilization were measured. The effect of tocotrienols-rich fraction (TRF) treatment (50 ng/mL) on those parameters during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis was also studied. During PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, as depicted by an increase in TRAP-positive cells and gene expression of osteoclast-related markers, higher proton leak, higher extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), as well as higher levels of ROS and NADPH oxidases (NOXs) were observed in the differentiated cells. The oxidation level of some substrates in the differentiated group was higher than in other groups. TRF treatment significantly reduced the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts, bone resorption activity, and ROS levels, as well as modulating the gene expression of antioxidant-related genes and mitochondrial function. In conclusion, changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and substrate utilization were observed during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, while TRF treatment modulated these changes.
