We hypothesized that loss of Cyp24a1 in fetal mice will cause high calcitriol, hypercalcemia, and increased placental calcium transport. Cyp24a1+/- mice were mated to create pregnancies with WT, Cyp24a1+/- and Cyp24a1 null fetuses. The null fetuses were hypercalcemic, modestly hypophosphatemic (compared to Cyp24a1+/- fetuses only), with 3.5-fold increased calcitriol, 4-fold increased FGF23, and unchanged PTH. qPCR confirmed absence of Cyp24a1 and 2-fold increases in S100g, Ncx1 and Casr in null placentas but not fetal kidneys; these changes predicted an increase in placental calcium transport. However, placental 45Ca and 32P transport were unchanged in null fetuses. Fetal ash weight and mineral content, placental weight, crown-rump length, and skeletal morphology did not differ among the genotypes. Serum P1NP and bone expression of Sost and Blgap were reduced while Calcr was increased in nulls. In conclusion, loss of Cyp24a1 in fetal mice causes hypercalcemia, modest hypophosphatemia, increased FGF23, but no alteration in skeletal development. Reduced incorporation of calcium into bone may contribute to the hypercalcemia without causing a detectable decrease in skeletal mineral content.

TNALP catalyzes the hydrolysis of the mineralization inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and ATP to provide inorganic phosphate (Pi), thus controlling the PPi/Pi ratio to enable the growth of hydroxyapatite crystals. N-linked glycosylation of TNALP is essential for protein stability and enzymatic activity and is responsible for the presence of different bone isoforms of TNALP associated with functional and clinical differences. The site-specific glycosylation profiles of TNALP are, however, elusive. TNALP has five potential N-glycosylation sites located at the asparagine (N) residues 140, 230, 271, 303 and 430. The objective of this study was to reveal the presence and structure of site-specific glycosylation in TNALP expressed in osteoblasts. Calvarial osteoblasts derived from Alpl+/− expressing SV40 Large T antigen were transfected with soluble epitope-tagged human TNALP. Purified TNALP was analyzed with a lectin microarray, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS–MS). The results showed that all sites (n = 5) were fully occupied predominantly with complex-type N-glycans. High abundance of galactosylated biantennary N-glycans with various degrees of sialylation was observed on all sites, as well as glycans with no terminal galactose and sialic acid. Furthermore, all sites had core fucosylation except site N271. Modelling of TNALP, with the protein structure prediction software ColabFold, showed possible steric hindrance by the adjacent side chain of W270, which could explain the absence of core fucosylation at N271. These novel findings provide evidence for N-linked glycosylation on all five sites of TNALP, as well as core fucosylation on four out of five sites. We anticipate that this new knowledge can aid in the development of functional and clinical assays specific for the TNALP bone isoforms.","PeriodicalId":14611,"journal":{"name":"JBMR Plus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139607976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We previously showed that ColI(2.3)+/Rs1+ mice, in which Gs-GPCR signaling was hyper-activated in osteoblastic cell lineages using an engineered receptor strategy, developed a fibrotic bone phenotype with trabecularization that could be reversed by normalizing Gs-GPCR signaling, suggesting that targeting the Gs-GPCR or components of the downstream signaling pathway could serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for FD.\u0000 The Wnt signaling pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of FD-like bone, but the specific Wnts and which cells produce them remain largely unknown. Single cell RNA sequencing on long-bone stromal cells of 9-week-old male ColI(2.3)+/Rs1+ mice and littermate controls showed that fibroblastic stromal cells in ColI(2.3)+/Rs1+ mice were expanded. Multiple Wnt ligands were up- or down-regulated in different cellular populations, including in non-osteoblastic cells. Treatment with the porcupine inhibitor LGK974, which blocks Wnt signaling broadly, induced partial resorption of the trabecular bone in the femurs of ColI(2.3)+/Rs1+ mice, but no significant changes in the craniofacial skeleton.

All-cause 1- and 5-year overall survival and relative survival ratios (RSRs) were assessed and time trends in survival changes were characterized starting immediately after a fracture. In both sexes, overall survival was markedly decreased over 6 years of follow-up after hip, vertebral, and pNHNV fractures, and as expected, worse survival rates were observed in older patients and males. The lowest 5-year RSRs were observed after hip fractures in males (66–85 years, 51.9%–63.9%; ≥86 years, 34.5%), followed by vertebral fractures in males (66–85 years, 53.2%–69.4%; ≥86 years, 35.5%), and hip fractures in females (66–85 years, 69.8%–79.0%; ≥86 years, 52.8%). Although RSRs did not decrease as markedly after dNHNV fractures in younger patients, relatively low 5-year RSRs were observed in females (75.9%) and males (69.5%) aged ≥86 years. The greatest reduction in survival occurred within the initial month after hip, vertebral, and pNHNV fractures, indicating a high relative impact of short-term factors, with survival-reduction effects persisting over time. Therefore, the most critical period for implementing interventions aimed at improving post-fracture prognosis appears to be immediately after a fracture; however, considering the immediate need for introducing such interventions, primary fracture prevention is also crucial to prevent the occurrence of the initial fracture in high-risk patients.","PeriodicalId":14611,"journal":{"name":"JBMR Plus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139610553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review examines non-invasive imaging studies that evaluate skeletal outcomes in adults with T1D and T2D, emphasizing distinct skeletal phenotypes linked with each condition and pinpointing gaps in understanding bone health in diabetes. While traditional DXA-BMD does not fully capture the increased fracture risk in diabetes, recent techniques such as quantitative computed tomography (QCT), peripheral QCT (pQCT), high-resolution pqCT (HR-pQCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide insights into 3D bone density, microstructure, and strength. Notably, existing studies present heterogeneous results possibly due to variations in design, outcome measures, and potential misclassification between T1D and T2D. Thus, the true nature of diabetic skeletal fragility is yet to be fully understood.

The mean age of patients with tendon rupture was 44.0 ± 11.2 years. These patients exhibited higher serum levels of phosphorus (6.3 ± 1.5 mg/dL vs 5.6 ± 1.1 mg/dL; p = 0.005), parathyroid hormone (2025.7 ± 667.6 pg/mL vs 1728.4 ± 684.8 pg/mL; p = 0.035), and C-reactive-protein (35.4 ± 32.9 mg/dL vs 17 ± 24.5 mg/dL; p = 0.002) compared to the group without tendon rupture. The mean follow-up was 56.7 ± 27.1 months. No patient required a new surgical approach or experienced re-rupture. Of all patients, 31% experienced hip fracture: 50% in the group with rupture (29.5 ± 17.4 months after the tendon rupture) vs 26% without tendon rupture (p = 0.015). After adjustment, the hazard ratio for hip fracture was 2.87 (CI 95% 1.27–6.49; p = 0.012). Patients with SHPT and high levels of phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, and inflammatory markers were at greater risk for tendon rupture. Surgical complication rates were low. However, results suggest that tendon rupture of knee extensor mechanism in hemodialysis patient with SHPT should be regarded as a “red flag” for future hip fracture.","PeriodicalId":14611,"journal":{"name":"JBMR Plus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139526376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
