Abstract
Rationale
Numerous studies have established a robust association between bone morrow microvascular diseases and osteoporosis. This study sought to investigate the relationship between alterations in trans-cortical vessel (TCVs) and the onset of osteoporosis in various mouse models.
Methods
Aged mice, ovariectomized mice, and db/db mice, were utilized as osteoporosis models. TCVs in the tibia were detected using tissue clearing and light sheet fluorescence microscopy imaging. Femurs bone mass were analyzed using micro-CT scanning. Correlations between the number of TCVs and bone mass were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.
Results
All osteoporosis mouse models showed a significant reduction in the number of TCVs compared to the control group. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association between the number of TCVs and bone mass. TCVs were also expressed high levels of CD31 and EMCN proteins as type H vessels.
Conclusions
This study underscores a consistent correlation between the number of TCVs and bone mass. Moreover, TCVs may serve as a potential biomarker for bone mass evaluation.
