8-Nitro-cGMP is a promoter of osteoclast differentiation induced by RANKL. Nitric Oxide 2017; 72:46-51.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells differentiated from monocyte-macrophage-lineage cells under stimulation of receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B (RANK) ligand (RANKL) produced by osteoblasts and osteocytes. Although it has been reported that nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in this process, the mechanism by which these labile molecules promote osteoclast differentiation are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the formation and function of 8-nitro-cGMP, a downstream molecule of NO and ROS, in the process of osteoclast differentiation in vitro. 8-Nitro-cGMP was detected in mouse bone marrow macrophages and osteoclasts differentiated from macrophages in the presence of RANKL. Inhibition of NO synthase suppressed the formation of 8-nitro-cGMP as well as RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from macrophages. On the other hand, RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation was promoted by addition of 8-nitro-cGMP to the cultures. In addition, 8-nitro-cGMP enhanced the mRNA expression of RANK, the receptor for RANKL. However, 8-bromo-cGMP, a membrane-permeable derivative of cGMP, did not have an effect on either RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation or expression of the RANK gene. These results suggest that 8-nitro-cGMP is a novel positive regulator of osteoclast differentiation, which might help to explain the roles of NO and ROS in osteoclast differentiation.

Complications after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy: relationship to the shape of the osteotomy line. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2015; 45:200-4.

Abstract
Intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is used widely to correct mandibular prognathism. However, several disadvantages of this procedure have been reported, such as condylar luxation and bony interference at the osteotomy site. The aim of this study was to survey the incidence of complications (condylar luxation and bony interference) based on the shape of the osteotomy line. One hundred and eighty-five rami in 118 patients with jaw deformities, which were treated with IVRO, were examined retrospectively. The shape of the osteotomy line and the postoperative complications were examined on panoramic radiographs. Osteotomy lines were classified into three types: vertical, C-shaped, and oblique. Of the 185 osteotomy sites, 98 were vertical, 37 C-shaped, and 50 oblique. Condylar luxation was found in six rami (3.2%); four had undergone vertical osteotomy and two had undergone C-shaped osteotomy. Bony interference occurred in seven rami (3.8%), all with vertical type osteotomy lines. Most complications occurred in the vertical type cases and no complications were found in oblique type cases. Condylar luxation was found mainly in unilateral IVRO cases and bony interference was found in bilateral IVRO cases. These results suggest that the oblique type of osteotomy line has the advantage of avoiding complications.

Abstract
A 23-year-old female with hypoglossia, who had a narrow mandibular dental arch, was treated using the gradual expansion technique. Three lower incisors were missing and the right molar occlusion showed a scissor bite. Her speech was acceptable. Gradual unilateral expansion of the mandibular alveolar bone was performed. Orthodontic tooth alignment was performed prior to surgical treatment. A tooth-borne expander was devised using a hyrax-type screw to move the inclined right alveolar bone into an upright position. Alveolar bone osteotomies were performed under general anesthesia and the expander was placed in the mandibular dental arch. After a 5-day latency period, the screw was activated for 21 days. After expansion, the width of the mandibular dental arch increased by 10mm at the first molar region and the right molars were moved to an upright position. After a consolidation period of 7 days, simultaneous two-jaw surgery that combined Le Fort I osteotomy and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomies was performed to obtain a stable occlusion. After post-surgical orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment, her occlusion improved without deterioration of her speech. The results indicate that this technique is useful for unilateral expansion of distorted mandibular alveolar process.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a relatively rare condition characterized by the excessive production and deposition of collagen within tissue. This condition is thought to be immunologically mediated and, in addition to its notorious cutaneous manifestations, often involves multiple organs. A case is presented of systemic sclerosis associated with extensive tumoural calcinosis in the temporomandibular joint. There has been no evidence of recurrence or complications during approximately 2 years of follow up, but long-term follow up is essential.

Abstract
A 2-stage procedure combining maxillary advancement by distraction technique with mandibular setback surgery was used to correct jaw deformities in 5 patients with severe maxillary retrusion secondary to cleft lip and palate. First, a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy was performed. Immediately after maxillary distraction, the distraction device was removed. The advanced maxilla was fixed with miniplates after adjusting the length and direction of advancement, and mandibular setback surgery was performed simultaneously to obtain a normal occlusal relationship. This 2-stage procedure resulted in stable occlusion and a markedly improved facial profile.

Abstract
This study investigated the mechanism of direct and indirect actions of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) on osteoclast differentiation using two mouse cell culture systems. In the coculture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, FGF-2 stimulated osteoclast formation. This effect was decreased markedly by osteoprotegerin (OPG) or NS-398, a selective cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor. FGF-2 (> or = 10(-9) M) stimulated receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand/osteoclast differentiation factor (RANKL/ODF) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression from 2 h to 7 days in cultured osteoblasts. NS-398 did not affect the early induction but decreased the later one, indicating that the later effect is mediated by COX-2 induction in osteoblasts. To study the direct action of FGF-2 on osteoclast precursors, we used mouse macrophage-like cell line C7 cells that can differentiate into osteoclasts in the presence of soluble RANKL/ODF (sRANKL/ODF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Although osteoblasts expressed all FGF receptors (FGFR-1 to -4), only FGFR-1 was detected in C7 cells at various differentiation stages. FGF-2 alone or in combination with sRANKL/ODF did not induce osteoclastogenesis from C7 cells; however, FGF-2 from lower concentrations (> or = 10(-11) M) significantly decreased osteoclast formation induced by M-CSF in the presence of sRANKL/ODF. FGF-2 did not alter mRNA levels of M-CSF receptor (Fms) or RANK in C7 cells. Immunoprecipitation/ immunoblotting analyses revealed that tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins including Fms in C7 cells induced by M-CSF was inhibited by FGF-2 in the presence of sRANKL/ODF. We conclude that FGF-2 regulates osteoclast differentiation through two different mechanisms: (1) an indirect stimulatory action via osteoblasts to induce RANKL/ODF partly through COX-2 induction and prostaglandin production and (2) a direct inhibitory action on osteoclast precursors by counteracting M-CSF signaling.

Abstract
The signaling through receptor tyrosine kinases expressed on mature osteoclasts has recently been suggested to be involved in osteoclastic bone resorption. This study investigated the mechanism and the possible physiological relevance of Gas6/Tyro 3, a receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway in osteoclasts in stimulating osteoclastic bone resorption using several mouse culture systems. Gas6, expressed ubiquitously in bone cells, did not affect the differentiation or the survival of osteoclasts, but stimulated osteoclast function to form resorbed pits on a dentine slice. The expression of its receptor, Tyro 3, was seen only in mature osteoclasts among bone cells. Gas6 up-regulated the phosphorylation of cellular proteins including p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but not p38 or c-Jun N-terminal kinase MAPK, and increased the kinase activity of immunoprecipitated Tyro 3 in isolated osteoclasts. The ability of Gas6 to stimulate pit formation resorbed by osteoclasts was abrogated by PD98059, a specific inhibitor of p42/p44 MAPK. In addition, the Gas6 mRNA level in bone marrow was up-regulated by ovariectomy and was reduced by estrogen replacement. These results strongly suggest that Gas6 acts directly on mature osteoclasts through activation of Tyro 3 and p42/p44 MAPK, possibly contributing to the bone loss by estrogen deficiency.

Abstract
The removal of unmineralized matrix from the bone surface is essential for the initiation of osteoclastic bone resorption because osteoclasts cannot attach to the unmineralized osteoid. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to digest bone matrix. We recently reported that among the MMPs expressed in mouse osteoblastic cells, MMP-13 (collagenase-3) was the one most predominantly up-regulated by bone resorbing factors including 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1alpha,25(OH)2D3]. In this study, we examined the mechanism of regulation of MMP-13 expression by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. 1Alpha,25(OH)2D3 increased steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels of MMP-13. De novo protein synthesis was essential for the induction because cycloheximide (CHX) decreased the effect of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 on the MMP-13 mRNA level. 1Alpha,25(OH)2D3 did not alter the decay of MMP-13 mRNA in transcriptionally arrested MC3T3-E1 cells; however, it increased the MMP-13 heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) level and MMP-13 transcriptional rate. The binding activity of nuclear extracts to the AP-1 binding site, but not to the Cbfa1 binding site, in the MMP-13 promoter region was up-regulated by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, suggesting the mediation of AP-1 in this transcriptional induction. To determine the contribution of MMPs to bone resorption by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, the inhibitory effect of BB94, an MMP inhibitor, on resorbed pit formation by mouse crude osteoclastic cells was examined on either an uncoated or collagen-coated dentine slice. BB94 did not prevent resorbed pit formation on uncoated dentine whereas it did on collagen-coated dentine. We therefore propose that the transcriptional induction of MMP-13 in osteoblastic cells may contribute to the degradation of unmineralized matrix on the bone surface as an early step of bone resorption by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3.

Abstract
We previously reported that fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) acts not only on osteoblasts to stimulate osteoclastic bone resorption indirectly but also on mature osteoclasts directly. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of this direct action of FGF-2 on mature osteoclasts using mouse and rabbit osteoclast culture systems. FGF-2 stimulated pit formation resorbed by isolated rabbit osteoclasts moderately from low concentrations (>/=10(-12) m), whereas at high concentrations (>/=10(-9) m) it showed stimulation on pit formation resorbed by unfractionated bone cells very potently. FGF-2 (>/=10(-12) m) also increased cathepsin K and MMP-9 mRNA levels in mouse and rabbit osteoclasts. Among FGF receptors (FGFR1 to 4) only FGFR1 was detected on isolated mouse osteoclasts, whereas all FGFRs were identified on mouse osteoblasts. FGF-2 (>/=10(-12) m) up-regulated the phosphorylation of cellular proteins, including p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and increased the kinase activity of immunoprecipitated FGFR1 in mouse osteoclasts. The stimulation of FGF-2 on mouse and rabbit osteoclast functions was abrogated by PD-98059, a specific inhibitor of p42/p44 MAP kinase. These results strongly suggest that FGF-2 acts directly on mature osteoclasts through activation of FGFR1 and p42/p44 MAP kinase, causing the stimulation of bone resorption at physiological or pathological concentrations.

Abstract
Insulin receptor substrates (IRS-1 and -2) are essential for intracellular signaling by insulin and IGF-I, anabolic regulators of bone metabolism. Mice lacking the IRS-1 gene IRS-1(-/-) showed severe osteopenia with low bone turnover. IRS-1 was expressed in osteoblasts, but not in osteoclasts, of wild-type (WT) mice. IRS-1(-/-) osteoblasts treated with insulin or IGF-I failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, and they showed reduced proliferation and differentiation. Osteoclastogenesis in the coculture of hemopoietic cells and osteoblasts depended on IRS-1 expression in osteoblasts and could not be rescued by IRS-1 expression in hemopoietic cells in the presence of not only IGF-I but also 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). In addition, osteoclast differentiation factor (RANKL/ODF) was not induced by these factors in IRS-1(-/-) osteoblasts. We conclude that IRS-1 deficiency in osteoblasts impairs osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and support of osteoclastogenesis, resulting in low-turnover osteopenia. Osteoblastic IRS-1 is essential for maintaining bone turnover, because it mediates signaling by IGF-I and insulin and, we propose, also by other factors, such as 1,25(OH)(2)D(3).

Abstract
In the search for a new class of bone-sparing agents, we have conducted random screening of the domestic chemical library using 45Ca release assay from prelabeled cultured neonatal mouse calvariae and identified a novel synthetic triazolotriazepine JTT-606 as a candidate for a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. JTT-606 inhibited 45Ca release dose dependently not only in the control calvarial culture but also in the stimulated cultures by interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), and parathyroid hormone (PTH). JTT-606 also inhibited both basal and stimulated osteoclast-like (OCL) cell formation in the coculture of mouse osteoblastic cells and bone marrow cells dose dependently, indicating its inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. Ex vivo OCL cell formation by cultured bone marrow cells collected from ovariectomized (OVX) mice also was decreased dose dependently by in vivo application of JTT-606 to a level similar to that from sham-operated mice. Furthermore, JTT-606 inhibited resorbed pit formation by isolated mature osteoclasts as well as by unfractionated bone cells derived from rabbit long bones in the control and FGF-2-stimulated cultures dose dependently, indicating both the direct and the indirect actions of JTT-606 on mature osteoclast function. In addition, JTT-606 reduced production of IL-1alpha, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-6, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the human peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture. In vivo analyses of mature OVX rats revealed that the application of JTT-606 for 12 weeks increased the BMD of the lumbar spine and decreased the levels of serum osteocalcin and urine deoxypyridinoline to levels similar to those of 17beta-estradiol-treated OVX rats. We propose that JTT-606 may inhibit both osteoclast differentiation and function by down-regulating both the action and the production of bone resorptive factors. It is speculated that JTT-606 could be a potent agent for the treatment of osteopenic disorders with elevated osteoclastic bone resorption.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2 or basic FGF) is known to show variable actions on bone formation and bone resorption. This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanisms whereby FGF-2 affects bone metabolism, especially bone resorption, using three different culture systems. FGF-2 at 10(-9) M and higher concentrations induced osteoclastic cell formation in the coculture system of mouse osteoblastic cells and bone marrow cells, and this induction was abrogated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 45Ca release from prelabeled cultured mouse calvariae stimulated by FGF-2 (10(-8) M) was also inhibited by NSAIDs, and the inhibition was stronger by NSAIDs, which are more selective for inhibition of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) than COX-1, suggesting the mediation of COX-2 induction. COX-2 was highly expressed and its messenger RNA (mRNA) level was stimulated by FGF-2 in osteoblastic cells whereas it was undetectable or not stimulated by FGF-2 in cells of osteoclast lineage. To further investigate the direct actions of FGF-2 on osteoclasts, resorbed pit formation was compared between cultures of purified osteoclasts and unfractionated bone cells from rabbit long bones. FGF-2 (> or = 10(-12) M) stimulated resorbed pit formation by purified osteoclasts with a maximum effect of 2.0-fold at 10(-11) M, and no further stimulation was observed at higher concentrations. However, FGF-2 at 10(-9) M - 10(-8) M stimulated resorbed pit formation by unfractionated bone cells up to 9.7-fold. NS-398, a specific COX-2 inhibitor, did not affect the FGF-2 stimulation on purified osteoclasts but inhibited that on unfractionated bone cells. We conclude that FGF-2 at low concentrations (> or =10(-12) M) acts directly on mature osteoclasts to resorb bone moderately, whereas at high concentrations (> or = 10(-9) M) it acts on osteoblastic cells to induce COX-2 and stimulates bone resorption potently.

Abstract
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induced osteoclast formation in co-cultures of mouse spleen cells and osteoblasts. Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) and a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, NS-398, abolished bFGF-induced osteoclast formation. bFGF did not affect spleen cells, but it did affect osteoblasts, to stimulate osteoclast formation. Northern blot analysis revealed that bFGF up-regulated the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) and COX-2 and down-regulated the expression of OCIF in primary osteoblastic cells. NS-398 abolished the increase of ODF mRNA, but it had no effect on the decrease of OCIF mRNA. NS-398 suppressed the binding of (125)I-labeled OCIF to osteoblastic cells treated with bFGF. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that bFGF inhibited OCIF production by osteoblastic cells, and the inhibition was not affected by NS-398. We conclude that bFGF induces osteoclast formation by stimulating ODF production through COX-2-mediated prostaglandin synthesis and by suppressing OCIF production through a mechanism independent of prostaglandin synthesis.
