Abstract
The intricate interplay between the gut microbiota and bone health has become increasingly recognized as a fundamental determinant of skeletal well-being. Microbiota-derived metabolites play a crucial role in dynamic interaction, specifically in bone homeostasis. In this sense, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, indirectly promote bone formation by regulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) has been found to increase the expression of osteoblast genes, such as Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2), thus enhancing osteogenic differentiation and bone quality through BMP/SMADs and Wnt signaling pathways. Remarkably, in the context of bone infections, the role of microbiota metabolites in immune modulation and host defense mechanisms potentially affects susceptibility to infections such as osteomyelitis. Furthermore, ongoing research elucidates the precise mechanisms through which microbiota-derived metabolites influence bone cells, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Understanding the multifaceted influence of microbiota metabolites on bone, from regulating homeostasis to modulating susceptibility to infections, has the potential to revolutionize our approach to bone health and disease management. This review offers a comprehensive exploration of this evolving field, providing a holistic perspective on the impact of microbiota metabolites on bone health and diseases.

J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18056.

Abstract
Infection by bacterial products in the implant and endotoxin introduced by wear particles activate immune cells, enhance pro-inflammatory cytokines production, and ultimately promote osteoclast recruitment and activity. These factors are known to play an important role in osteolysis as well as potential targets for the treatment of osteolysis. Sesamin has been shown to have a variety of biological functions, such as inhibiting inflammation, anti-tumour and involvement in the regulation of fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism. However, the therapeutic effect of sesamin on osteolysis and its mechanism remain unclear. Present studies shown that in the condition of in vitro, sesamin could inhibit osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, as well as suppressing the expression of osteoclast-specific genes. Further studies on the mechanism suggest that the effect of sesamin on human osteoclasts was mediated by blocking the ERK and NF-κB signalling pathways. Besides, sesamin was found to be effective in treating LPS-induced osteolysis by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis in vivo. Sesamin was non-toxic to heart, liver, kidney, lung and spleen. Therefore, sesamin is a promising phytochemical agent for the therapy of osteolysis-related diseases caused by inflammation and excessive osteoclast activation.

Abstract
Postoperative bacterial infection is a serious complication of orthopedic surgery. Not only infections that develop in the first few weeks after surgery but also late infections that develop years after surgery are serious problems. However, the relationship between host bone and infection activation has not yet been explored. Here, we report a novel association between host bone collagen/apatite microstructure and bacterial infection. The bone-mimetic-oriented micro-organized matrix structure was obtained by prolonged controlled cell alignment using a grooved-structured biomedical titanium alloy. Surprisingly, we have discovered that highly aligned osteoblasts have a potent inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli adhesion. Additionally, the oriented collagen/apatite micro-organization of the bone matrix showed excellent antibacterial resistance against Escherichia coli. The proposed mechanism for realizing the antimicrobial activity of the micro-organized bone matrix is by the controlled secretion of the antimicrobial peptides, including β-defensin 2 and β-defensin 3, from the highly aligned osteoblasts. Our findings contribute to the development of anti-infective strategies for orthopedic surgeries. The recovery of the intrinsically ordered bone matrix organization provides superior antibacterial resistance after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone tuberculosis (TB) is the third most common types of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It is critical to understand mycobacterial adaptive strategies within bone lesions to identify mycobacterial factors that may have role in disease pathogenesis. METHODS Whole genome microarray was used to characterize the in-vivo transcriptome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) within bone TB specimens. Mycobacterial virulent proteins were identified by bioinformatic software. An in vitro osteoblast cell line model was used to study the role of these proteins in bone TB pathogenesis. RESULTS 914 mycobacterial genes were significantly overexpressed and 1688 were repressed in bone TB specimens. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes demonstrated a non-replicative and hypometabolic state of M.tb, reinforcement of the mycobacterial cell wall and induction of DNA damage repair responses, suggesting possible survival strategies of M.tb within bone. Bioinformatics mining of microarray data led to identification of five virulence proteins. The genes encoding these proteins were also upregulated in the in vitro MC3T3 osteoblast cell line model of bone TB. Further, exposure of osteoblast cells to two of these virulence proteins (Rv1046c and Rv3663c) significantly inhibited osteoblast differentiation. CONCLUSION M.tb alters its transcriptome to establish infection in bone by upregulating certain virulence genes which play a key role in disturbing bone homeostasis.

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and bone health: data from a population-based sample of men. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:309-317. [PMID: 36409359 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06602-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED We aimed to investigate the association between serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and bone health in men. LBP was associated with lower bone density at the mid-forearm and the quantitative heel ultrasound measure, broadband ultrasound attenuation, for heavier participants. Data do not support clear associations between serum LBP and bone health. INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to investigate the association between serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and potential downstream effects on skeletal density, quality, and turnover in a population-based sample of men. METHODS This cross-sectional study utilised data from 1149 men (aged 20-96 year) enrolled in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Blood samples were obtained and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), bone resorption marker, C-telopeptide (CTx), and formation marker, type 1 procollagen amino-terminal-propeptide (P1NP), were measured. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Stiffness Index (SI), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), and speed of sound (SOS) were derived from quantitative heel ultrasound (QUS). Linear regression models were developed to test associations between log-transformed LBP (ln-LBP), BMD, QUS, and bone turnover, after adjusting for potential covariates. RESULTS Serum LBP ranged from 1.07-208.53 ng/mL (median 16.53 ng/mL). Those with higher levels were older, less mobile, and had lower BMD at the mid-forearm, otherwise, groups were similar. Before and after adjustment for age, ln-LBP was associated with lower BMD at the spine, total body, and mid-forearm. Further adjustment for weight attenuated associations at the spine and total body, yet the relationship at the mid-forearm was sustained (β - 0.014 ± 0.004, p = 0.001). SOS and SI were not associated with ln-LBP either before or after adjustment for age; however, weight was identified as an effect modifier in the relationship between ln-LBP and BUA. An association was observed for those weighing greater than 82.7 kg (β 3.366 ± 0.929, p < 0.001), after adjustment for potential covariates. Neither bone turnover marker was associated with ln-LBP. CONCLUSION Our data do not support a clear association between serum LBP and measures of bone health in this sample of men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gram-negative periprosthetic joint infections (GN-PJIs) present unique challenges. Our aim was to establish a clinically representative GN-PJI model that recapitulates biofilm formation in vivo. We also hypothesized that biofilm formation on the implant surface would affect its ability to osseointegrate. METHODS Three-dimensionally-printed medical-grade titanium hip implants were used to replace the femoral heads of male Sprague-Dawley rats. GN-PJI was induced using 2 bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains: a reference strain (PA14-lux) and a mutant biofilm-defective strain (ΔflgK-lux). Infection was monitored in real time using an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bacterial loads were quantified utilizing the viable colony count. Biofilm formation at the bone-implant interface was visualized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Implant stability, as an outcome, was directly assessed by quantifying osseointegration using microcomputed tomography, and indirectly assessed by identifying gait-pattern changes. RESULTS Bioluminescence detected by the IVIS was focused on the hip region and demonstrated localized infection, with greater ability of PA14-lux to persist in the model compared with the ΔflgK-lux strain, which is defective in biofilm formation. This was corroborated by MRI, as PA14-lux induced relatively larger implant-related abscesses. Biofilm formation at the bone-implant interface induced by PA14-lux was visualized using FE-SEM versus defective-biofilm formation by ΔflgK-lux. Quantitatively, the average viable colony count of the sonicated implants, in colony-forming units/mL, was 3.77 × 108 for PA14-lux versus 3.65 × 103 for ΔflgK-lux, with a 95% confidence interval around the difference of 1.45 × 108 to 6.08 × 108 (p = 0.0025). This difference in the ability to persist in the model was reflected significantly on implant osseointegration, with a mean intersection surface of 4.1 × 106 ± 1.99 × 106 μm2 for PA14-lux versus 6.44 × 106 ± 2.53 × 106 μm2 for ΔflgK-lux and 7.08 × 106 ± 1.55 × 106 μm2 for the noninfected control (p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this proposed, novel in vivo biofilm-based model is the most clinically representative for GN-PJI to date, since animals can bear weight on the implant, poor osseointegration was associated with biofilm formation, and localized PJI was assessed by various modalities. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This model will allow for more reliable testing of novel biofilm-targeting therapeutics.

Abstract
Gut microbiota has emerged as an important regulator of bone homeostasis. In particular, the modulation of innate immunity and bone homeostasis is mediated through the interaction between microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and the host pattern recognition receptors including Toll-like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domains. Pathogenic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Staphylococcus aureus tend to induce bone destruction and cause various inflammatory bone diseases including periodontal diseases, osteomyelitis, and septic arthritis. On the other hand, probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species can prevent bone loss. In addition, bacterial metabolites and various secretory molecules such as short chain fatty acids and cyclic nucleotides can also affect bone homeostasis. This review focuses on the regulation of osteoclast and osteoblast by MAMPs including cell wall components and secretory microbial molecules under in vitro and in vivo conditions. MAMPs could be used as potential molecular targets for treating bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis and periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a cell wall component of Gram-positive bacteria. Limited data suggest that LTA is beneficial for bone regeneration in vitro. Thus, we used a mouse model of femoral defects to explore the effects of LTA on bone healing in vivo. Micro-computed tomography analysis and double-fluorochrome labeling were utilized to examine whether LTA can accelerate dynamic bone formation in vivo. The effects of LTA on osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis were also studied in vitro. LTA treatment induced prompt bone bridge formation, rapid endochondral ossification, and accelerated healing of fractures in mice with femoral bone defects. In vitro, LTA directly enhanced indicators of osteogenic factor-induced MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation, including alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition and osteopontin expression. LTA also inhibited osteoclast activation induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand. We identified six molecules that may be associated with LTA-accelerated bone healing: monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1, cystatin C, growth/differentiation factor 15, endostatin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. Finally, double-fluorochrome, dynamic-labeling data indicated that LTA significantly enhanced bone-formation rates in vivo. In conclusion, our findings suggest that LTA has promising bone-regeneration properties.

Abstract
Because of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated effects on osteoclast differentiation and bone loss, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Gram-negative bacteria increases the risk of aseptic loosening after reimplantation. Synovial fluid interleukin-16 (IL-16) expression was higher in patients with PJI than in patients without joint infection. Thus, we explored the effects of IL-16 on bone. We investigated whether IL-16 modulates osteoclast or osteoblast differentiation in vitro. An LPS-induced bone loss mice model was used to explore the possible advantages of IL-16 inhibition for the prevention of bone loss. IL-16 directly activated p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and increased osteoclast activation markers, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K, and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1). IL-16 directly caused monocytes to differentiate into TRAP-positive osteoclast-like cells through NFATc1 activation dependent on JNK/MAPK signaling. Moreover, IL-16 did not alter alkaline phosphatase activity or calcium deposition during osteoblastic differentiation. Finally, IL-16 inhibition prevented LPS-induced trabecular bone loss and osteoclast activation in vivo. IL-16 directly increased osteoclast activation through the JNK/NFATc1 pathway. IL-16 inhibition could represent a new strategy for treating infection-associated bone loss.
