Secondary osteoporosis is highly prevalent in men, making the identification and management of underlying causes essential. Bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk are influenced by sex-specific patterns of skeletal growth and age-related bone loss, with men typically exhibiting greater cortical thickness, larger bone size, and trabecular thinning rather than loss of trabecular number. Although randomized controlled trials in men are fewer than in postmenopausal women, bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide, abaloparatide, and romosozumab have all been shown to significantly increase BMD. Fracture outcome data remain limited; however, reductions in vertebral fracture risk have been demonstrated for zoledronate, alendronate, risedronate, denosumab, and teriparatide. Treatment should be individualized according to fracture risk, comorbidities, and patient preferences. In men at very high fracture risk, osteoanabolic therapy should be considered as first-line treatment, followed by antiresorptive therapy to consolidate and maintain BMD gains. Goal-directed (treat-to-target) management, including long-term maintenance therapy, and careful discontinuation strategies, particularly following denosumab, is essential for optimizing long-term skeletal health.

We sought to identify determinants of the muscle-bone relationship using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the distal lower extremity and jumping mechanography among Canadian children. Data were obtained from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), a national, cross-sectional, population-based study. 3,225 participants (aged 6 to 19.9 years) were included. Calf muscle cross-sectional area (CSA; 66% site) z-score was used as a surrogate measure of muscle strength, bone mineral content (BMC) z-score of the tibia shaft cross-section (38% site) was used as a surrogate measure of bone strength. Maximum jumping power (Pmax) z-score from the single two-legged jump test was assessed as a mediator between muscle CSA and BMC z-scores using path analysis. Peripheral QCT and Pmax z-scores were calculated using CHMS data. Height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) z-scores were calculated using Centers for Disease Control reference data.

We tested whether selenoprotein P, a hepatokine elevated in metabolic disease, suppresses osteoblast function and skeletal integrity. In mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet, whole-body Selenop deficiency preserved trabecular bone mass, bone formation, bone stiffness, and cortical bone defect repair. Hepatocyte-specific Selenop deficiency also preserved trabecular bone mass. Histomorphometry showed that selenoprotein P primarily suppressed osteoblast activation without materially altering osteoclast indices. In calvaria-derived osteoblast cultures, purified human plasma-derived selenoprotein P inhibited IGF-1-induced phosphorylation of IGF-1 receptor, IRS-1, PI3K, PDK1, and Akt, reduced alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, and osteogenic gene expression, and blunted receptor-proximal ROS generation. LRP1 was the predominant candidate receptor during osteogenic differentiation. Osteoblast cultures derived from Osx-Cre/+ Lrp1fl/fl mice showed reduced cell-associated human selenoprotein P, and the inhibitory effects of selenoprotein P on IGF-1 signaling and osteoblast maturation were absent in these cultures. In vivo, pharmacologic blockade of IGF-1 receptor signaling eliminated the skeletal protection conferred by Selenop deficiency, supporting a requirement for intact IGF-1 receptor signaling in this pathway. In a cross-sectional analysis of a general population cohort, serum selenoprotein P was not significantly associated with OSI across the full cohort, whereas exploratory analyses in the highest quintile suggested an inverse association between high circulating selenoprotein P and bone mass.

However, the effects of disrupted circadian rhythms on bone remodeling remain largely unknown. Here, we show that one of the core circadian regulators PER1 inhibits osteoclastogenesis by upregulating genes involved in inflammation. Conditional knockout (KO) of Per1 in osteoclasts and related cells resulted in decreased bone mass in the femurs of mice, along with increased osteoclasts and decreased osteoblasts. Osteoclastogenesis was also promoted by Per1 depletion in vitro with 16 downregulated inflammatory genes. Seven of these genes were known to promote or inhibit osteoclastogenesis depending on the stage of osteoclastogenesis and the presence or absence of infection. Knockdown of Nlrp3, Tlr8, or Tlr9 in the group of genes promoted osteoclastogenesis, mirroring the effects of Per1 KO and offering a mechanistic explanation for the Per1-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. These results were not observed following the KO of a paralog Per2. Per1 KO mice maintain general circadian rhythms, unlike arrhythmic Per1;Per2 double KO mice. This gives credence to Per1 as a selective target for therapeutic interventions without disrupting the circadian rhythms. This study uncovered a molecular link between a circadian regulator and osteoclastogenesis in the broader context of inflammatory reactions. Our findings may be mechanistically relevant to inflammatory bone diseases influenced by circadian rhythms, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, as well as other bone diseases predisposed by chronic circadian disruption.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":"1136-1148"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146123093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
