    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mechanism of bone anabolism induced by the parathyroid hormone-related peptide analog abaloparatide, we histochemically examined the femora of ovariectomized mice treated with abaloparatide. METHODS: Twelve-week-old female C57BL/6J mice underwent ovariectomies (OVX), and were then administered either abaloparatide (30 μg/kg/day: OVX+ABL group) or vehicle (OVX group) via daily intraperitoneal injection. Femora were harvested at 0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks post-administration and subjected to micro-CT imaging, TRAP, cathepsin K, ALP, and PHOSPHO1 staining, along with calcein labeling. RESULTS: In the OVX group, trabecular number and bone volume gradually decreased over time, whereas the OVX + ABL group maintained these values to 6 weeks after OVX. The numbers of TRAP-positive/cathepsin K-reactive osteoclasts per bone surface area were similar between the OVX and OVX + ABL group, except for a temporary increase at 4 weeks in the OVX group. In the OVX group, the areas of ALP-positive osteoblastic cells and PHOSPHO1-reactive mature osteoblasts decreased, whereas in the OVX+ABL group, ALP-positive osteoblastic cells surrounded the trabeculae, and long lines of PHOSPHO1-reactive mature osteoblasts expanded to the terminal region of the trabeculae. In addition, long continuous calcein labeling was seen on slightly convex new bone, indicating modeling-based bone formation in the OVX + ABL group. The bone formation rate/bone surface ratio and the total length of modeling-based bone formation sites were higher in the OVX + ABL group than in the OVX group. CONCLUSION: Abaloparatide suppresses bone loss following ovariectomy by promoting both remodeling-based and modeling-based bone formation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To determine whether alendronate affects vascular endothelial cells and regulates the interactions between blood vessels and osteoblasts, we have examined the femoral metaphyses of alendronate-administered mice. Following administration, the bone-specific blood vessels exhibited significantly reduced luminal diameters and rough luminal surfaces with numerous small protrusions and vesicles. Although the osteoclast distribution remained unchanged in ALN-treated mice, osteoblasts were inactivated in the metaphyseal regions where blood vessels had shrunk. Additionally, the expression of genes such as Ephb4/Efnb2, which mediate vascular endothelial cell-osteoblast interactions, was diminished. Therefore, alendronate may primarily affect bone-specific blood vessels, thus leading to osteoblast inactivation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the mechanisms underlying diabetic osteoporosis, we conducted a comprehensive histological examination of the femora of Spontaneously Diabetic Torii-Leprfa (SDT-fa/fa) rats, an established model of obesity-related type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Femora from 12 30-week-old male SDT-fa/fa rats and age-matched Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (controls) were used for detailed histochemical analyses, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K, tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase 1 (PHOSPHO1), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE), sclerostin, osteocalcin staining, silver impregnation, von Kossa staining, and micro-computed tomography (CT). RESULTS: Micro-CT and hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated significantly reduced trabecular bone volume in the femoral metaphyses of SDT-fa/fa rats. Although the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts per bone surface remained comparable between both groups, SDT-fa/fa rats exhibited reduced areas of ALP-positive and PHOSPHO1-reactive mature osteoblasts/BS. Silver impregnation revealed a well-organized osteocytic lacunar-canalicular system in both groups. However, immunostaining identified aberrant DMP-1 and MEPE expression localized predominantly in the lacunae in SDT-fa/fa rats and in the lacunae and canaliculi of SD rats. Additionally, intense osteocalcin and sclerostin immunoreactivity was detected in osteocytes, along with a higher proportion of osteocalcin-positive osteocytes in SDT-fa/fa rats, distinguishing them from controls. CONCLUSION: SDT-fa/fa rats displayed a significant decline in osteoblastic function and distinctive distribution patterns of osteocyte-derived peptides, suggesting that this diabetic model may manifest alterations in osteoblastic activity and the osteocytic lacunar-canalicular network.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVES: Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/collagen (Col) cylinders with laminated collagen layers were implanted into the tibial diaphysis of rats and examined histochemically to clarify how the orientation of HAp and Col bone-like nanocomposite fibers in HAp/Col blocks affects bone resorption and formation. METHODS: HAp/Col fibers were synthesized and compressed into cylindrical blocks to mimic bone nanostructures. These were implanted into the cortical bone cavities of 10-week-old male Wistar rats with fiber bundles parallel to the tibial surface. The implants were histologically analyzed at 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28 days after implantation. RESULTS: TRAP-positive osteoclasts appeared after 3-5 days in the lateral region of the graft, where the fiber ends were exposed, but not in the bottom region, where the HAp/Col fibers were parallel to the surface. Osteoclasts were observed in both regions by day 14. PHOSPHO1-positive osteoblasts were first detected on day 5, appearing slightly away from the cylinder laterally but directly on the bottom surface. A few osteoblasts contacted the block laterally, whereas many were observed on the new bone tissue at the bottom, between days 7 and 14. Bone formation was induced earlier in the bottom region, whereas lateral resorption was dominant. This suggested the uncoupling of bone resorption and formation in the early postimplantation stages. However, bone remodeling shifted to coupling between osteoclasts and osteoblasts throughout the cylinder by day 28. CONCLUSION: The orientation of HAp/Col fibers in HAp/Col graft materials substantially affected the preferential induction of bone resorption or formation during the early stages of bone regeneration.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is thought to induce remodeling-based bone formation by promoting osteoclastic activity, a process known as cellular coupling. Our research has shown that the frequency of PTH administration affects trabecular number and thickness. High-frequency PTH administration induced remodeling-based bone formation, while less frequent administration induced both remodeling-based and modeling-based bone formation. Additionally, we found that specific bone sites influence whether remodeling-based or modeling-based bone formation is more likely to occur. Additionally, while PTH significantly increases trabecular bone, it also causes cortical porosis. Our research on the femoral diaphysis showed that PTH administration resulted in the invasion of blood vessels and osteoclasts into the cortical bone. Abaloparatide acts similarly to teriparatide through the parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTH1R) but may have a wider anabolic window due to its lesser impact on bone resorption. Our mouse studies with abaloparatide showed similar results to those seen in human patients, with increased preosteoblastic cell populations and wider anabolic windows when compared with teriparatide. Abaloparatide-induced bone formation cannot be explained solely by remodeling-based bone formation, indicating the need for further research into modeling-based bone formation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to elucidate whether the administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) results in remodeling- or modeling-based bone formation in different regions of the murine femora, and whether the PTH-driven bone formation would facilitate osteoblastic differentiation into osteocytes. METHODS: Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were employed to examine the distribution of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), PHOSPHO1, podoplanin, and calcein labeling in two distinct long bone regions: the metaphyseal trabeculae close to the chondro-osseous junction (COJ) and those distant from the COJ in three mouse groups, a control group receiving a vehicle (sham group) and groups receiving hPTH (1-34) twice a day (PTH BID group) or four times a day (PTH QID group) for two weeks. RESULTS: The sham group showed PHOSPHO1-reactive mature osteoblasts localized primarily at the COJ, whereas the PTH BID/QID groups exhibited extended lines of PHOSPHO1-reactive osteoblasts even in regions distant from the COJ. The PTH QID group displayed fragmented calcein labeling in trabeculae close to the COJ, whereas continuous labeling was observed in trabeculae distant from the COJ. Osteoblasts tended to express podoplanin and PHOSPHO1 independently in the close and distant regions of the sham group, while osteoblasts in the PTH-administered groups showed immunoreactivity of podoplanin and PHOSPHO1 together in the close and distant regions. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of PTH may accelerate remodeling-based bone formation in regions close to the COJ while predominantly inducing modeling-based bone formation in distant regions. PTH appeared to simultaneously facilitate osteoblastic bone mineralization and differentiation into osteocytes in both remodeling- and modeling-based bone formation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To clarify the cellular mechanism of cortical porosity induced by intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration, we examined the femoral cortical bone of mice that received 40 µg/kg/day (four times a day) human PTH (hPTH) (1-34). The PTH-driven cortical porosity initiated from the metaphyseal region and chronologically expanded toward the diaphysis. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-positive osteoblasts in the control mice covered the cortical surface, and endomucin-positive blood vessels were distant from these osteoblasts. In PTH-administered mice, endomucin-reactive blood vessels with TRAP-positive penetrated the ALP-positive osteoblast layer, invading the cortical bone. Statistically, the distance between endomucin-positive blood vessels and the cortical bone surface abated after PTH administration. Transmission electron microscopic observation demonstrated that vascular endothelial cells often pass through the flattened osteoblast layer and accompanied osteoclasts in the deep region of the cortical bone. The cell layers covering mature osteoblasts thickened with PTH administration and exhibited ALP, α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1), and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). Within these cell layers, osteoclasts were found near endomucin-reactive blood vessels. In PTH-administered femora, osteocytes secreted Dkk1, a Wnt inhibitor that affects angiogenesis, and blood vessels exhibited plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein, an angiogenic molecule. In summary, endomucin-positive blood vessels, when accompanied by osteoclasts in the ALP/αSMA/VCAM1/RANKL-reactive osteoblastic cell layers, invade the cortical bone, potentially due to the action of osteocyte-derived molecules such as DKK1.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The current study examined the gene expression profiles of anabolic and catabolic molecules after a single parathyroid hormone (PTH) injection in mice. No significant changes were observed in alkaline phosphatase area/tissue volume, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts, or static bone histomorphometry parameters. However, a sudden and significant decrease in Runx2 expression occurred at 1.5 h post-injection followed by immediate elevation, while sclerostin level was initially downregulated but gradually recovered. Meanwhile, Rankl expression initially increased and then returned to baseline. The prolonged elevation of anabolic molecules and transient increase in catabolic molecules may contribute to the anabolic effect of PTH treatment.
