Abstract
The effects of vanadyl acetylacetonate (VAC) were evaluated on femur intramedullary osteoclasts in a rat model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) associated bone remodeling. In this study, BB Wistar rats were administered intramedullary injections consisting of either VAC at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg or a control saline solution. These injections were administered at least 12 weeks after the onset of T1D (i.e., treatment began ≥ 12 weeks after diabetes onset) to allow for the establishment of diabetic bone changes. At 4 weeks following treatment, the femurs treated with VAC exhibited a significant increase in trabecular thickness, specifically a 19.03% increase (p < 0.05). Osteoclasts, which were identified using TRAP staining, were found to be reduced in number at both 6 and 8 weeks in the femurs that received VAC treatment (p < 0.05). Likewise, when VAC was added to culture media, it resulted in a substantial decrease in osteoclast formation in vitro (8.1 ± 16.8 vs. 91.6 ± 16.0 cells, p < 0.001). In addition, expression of Dcstamp was significantly decreased in VAC-treated femurs compared to those treated with saline (p < 0.05). Taken together, this study demonstrates that intramedullary VAC delivery appears to inhibit T1D-related bone loss by impairing the process of osteoclastogenesis.

BioMetals is the only established journal to feature the important role of metal ions in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, environmental science, and medicine. BioMetals is an international, multidisciplinary journal singularly devoted to the rapid publication of the fundamental advances of both basic and applied research in this field. BioMetals offers a forum for innovative research and clinical results on the structure and function of:
- metal ions
- metal chelates,
- siderophores,
- metal-containing proteins
- biominerals in all biosystems.
- BioMetals rapidly publishes original articles and reviews.
BioMetals is a journal for metals researchers who practice in medicine, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, microbiology, cell biology, chemistry, and plant physiology who are based academic, industrial and government laboratories.
