TL;DR: MKP1 is important for bone homeostasis, osteoblast differentiation and skeletal responsiveness to PTH, and Expressions of pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 were inhibited dramatically by PTH in differentiated osteoblast from WT mice but much less in osteoblasts from Mkp1 KO mice.
Abstract: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling via PTH 1 receptor (PTH1R) involves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP1) dephosphorylates and inactivates MAPKs in osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells. We previously showed that PTH1R activation in differentiated osteoblasts upregulates MKP1 and downregulates pERK1/2–MAPK and cyclin D1. In this study, we evaluated the skeletal phenotype of Mkp1 knockout (KO) mice and the effects of PTH in vivo and in vitro. Microcomputed tomography analysis of proximal tibiae and distal femora from 12-week-old Mkp1 KO female mice revealed osteopenic phenotype with significant reduction (8–46%) in bone parameters compared with wild-type (WT) controls. Histomorphometric analysis showed decreased trabecular bone area in KO females. Levels of serum osteocalcin (OCN) were lower and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) was higher in KO animals. Treatment of neonatal mice with hPTH (1–34) for 3 weeks showed attenuated anabolic responses in the distal femora of KO mice compared with WT mice. Primary osteoblasts derived from KO mice displayed delayed differentiation determined by alkaline phosphatase activity, and reduced expressions of Ocn and Runx2 genes associated with osteoblast maturation and function. Cells from KO females exhibited attenuated PTH response in mineralized nodule formation in vitro. Remarkably, this observation was correlated with decreased PTH response of matrix Gla protein expression. Expressions of pERK1/2 and cyclin D1 were inhibited dramatically by PTH in differentiated osteoblasts from WT mice but much less in osteoblasts from Mkp1 KO mice. In conclusion, MKP1 is important for bone homeostasis, osteoblast differentiation and skeletal responsiveness to PTH.

TL;DR: Results show that Atlantic salmon post-smolts under continuous light may need P supplemented diets to support normal bone development, and that the LP-LL group was the only group that developed vertebrae with a compressed morphology.
Abstract: This study investigated the combined effects of photoperiod and dietary P level on bone osteoclast and osteoblast activity, and morphology, as well as plasma vitamin D status in Atlantic salmon post-smolts. The fish were reared under continuous light (LL) or 12 h light/dark (LD) per day, and fed diets with insufficient phosphorous (P) (4 g kg−1 available dietary P, LP) or sufficient P (8 g kg−1 available dietary P, HP) for 79 days in seawater. LL significantly increased plasma 25(OH)D3 level and bone tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) activity, and decreased bone collagen XI α1 chain (col11a1) mRNA transcription. The LP diet significantly increased plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 level and bone alkaline phosphatase activity, but decreased bone TRACP activity and matrix metalloproteinase 13 (mmp13) mRNA transcription, and vertebral mineral content, stiffness and length/dorso-ventral diameter (l/d) ratio. A significant interaction between light and P was only observed on the l/d ratio, and the LP-LL group was the only group that developed vertebrae with a compressed morphology (significantly lowest l/d ratio). In practical terms, these results show that Atlantic salmon post-smolts under continuous light may need P supplemented diets to support normal bone development.

TL;DR: In the present study, the antiosteoporotic effect of AST on bone mass in ovariectomized (OVX) mice and its possible mechanism of action are examined, suggesting that AST may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Abstract: Osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction of the bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitectural deterioration of the bone, which lead to bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Astaxanthin (AST) has a variety of biological activities, such as a protective effect against asthma or neuroinflammation, antioxidant effect, and decrease of the osteoclast number in the right mandibles in the periodontitis model. Although treatment with AST is known to have an effect on inflammation, no studies on the effect of AST exposure on bone loss have been performed. Thus, in the present study, we examined the antiosteoporotic effect of AST on bone mass in ovariectomized (OVX) mice and its possible mechanism of action. The administration of AST (5, 10 mg/kg) for 6 weeks suppressed the enhancement of serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity. The bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture of the trabecular bone in the tibia and femur were recovered by AST exposure. Moreover, in the in vitro experiment, we demonstrated that AST inhibits osteoclast formation through the expression of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1, dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), TRAP, and cathepsin K without any cytotoxic effects on bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Therefore, we suggest that AST may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AA inhibits RANKL-induced differentiation of OCL precursor cells into mature OCL and reduces the formation of bone resorption pits in vitro.
Abstract: Ascorbic acid (AA) plays a key role in the regulation of differentiation and activation of osteoclast (OCL). It was reported that AA might induce the formation of OCL in cocultures of mouse bone marrow cells and ST2 cells, but it is not clear whether AA has a direct impact on the OCL precursors. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of AA on the differentiation of OCL precursor RAW264.7 cells, cultured with receptor-activated nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL). The results showed that AA remarkably inhibited the cell proliferation at a higher concentration and RANKL alone is sufficient for osteoclastogenesis. The expression of carbonic anhydrase (CAII) mRNA and protein, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells (MNCs), and the percentage area of resorption lacunae induced by RANKL were decreased when AA was added to the cultures. The results demonstrate that AA inhibits RANKL-induced differentiation of OCL precursor cells into mature OCL and reduces the formation of bone resorption pits in vitro.

TL;DR: The results show that fully differentiated osteoclasts are uncommon in synovium from patients with either degenerative or inflammatory arthropathies.
Abstract: The influx of cells into the synovial intima in rheumatoid joints may include osteoclasts and their precursors. The distribution of osteoclast markers--namely, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase activity and the expression of vitronectin receptor (shown with monoclonal antibodies 13C2 and 23C6)--was therefore examined in synovium obtained from patients with rheumatoid (RA) or degenerative (OA) arthritis. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase positive cells were found in frozen sections of 60% (n = 30) of RA and 69% (n = 29) of OA synovial membranes. Whereas all synovia tested (four RA, four OA) showed diffuse staining of the lining cells with 13C2, 55% (n = 11) of RA and 57% (n = 14) of OA synovial membranes contained isolated cells stained with 23C6 scattered throughout the tissue. In cultures of synovial cells, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase positive, multinuclear, and 23C6 positive cells were found; these cells did not, however, form resorption pits on bone slices. The results show that fully differentiated osteoclasts are uncommon in synovium from patients with either degenerative or inflammatory arthropathies.
