In 26 299 lateral spine radiographs from 9276 individuals attending a tertiary-level institution (60% train set; 20% validation set; 20% test set; VERTE-X cohort), DL models were developed to detect prevalent vertebral fracture and osteoporosis. The pre-trained DL models from lateral spine radiographs were then fine-tuned in 30% of a DXA VFA dataset (KURE cohort), with performance evaluated in the remaining 70% test set.

This enhancement of bone mass is associated with removal of Grem1 and Chrdl1, but the cellular source of these BMPR inhibitors and whether they mediate this unique skeletal event, has not been established. In this study, we found replacing the depleted BMPR inhibitors, using nanoparticles bearing their mRNAs, attenuates the osteogenic effect of adiponectin positive cell depletion, confirming the essential role of Grem1 and Chrdl1 in the osteosclerotic process. Depletion of these BMPR inhibitors is accompanied by elimination of Cxcl12 and Lepr, suggesting that Adipoq positive subset of Cxcl12-abundant reticular (adipo-CAR) cells are the exclusive producers of Grem1 and Chrdl1 in marrow. While ablation of adipo-CAR cells does not increase osteo-CARs in the marrow, it activates BMPR in Col1*3.6 positive pre-osteoblasts, leading to their proliferation. Deletion of proliferating Col1*3.6 positive cells completely arrests bone formation induced by adipo-CAR cell ablation, suggesting that committed pre-osteoblasts, rather than earlier osteo-CARs, serve as the osteoprogenitors responsible for the new bone formation. The skeletal effects of eliminating marrow cells expressing leptin receptor (Lepr), also a marker of CAR cells, mirrors that induced by depleting those expressing adiponectin, including its initiation by BMPR activation in both male and female mice. Thus, marrow-residing Adipoq/Lepr positive CAR cells limit excessive skeletal mass by producing BMPR inhibitors, while their depletion leads to significant osteosclerosis through BMPR activation and pre-osteoblast proliferation.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741758","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}

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) has enabled assessment of bone microarchitecture in vivo at the distal radius, providing new insights into the healing process. However, we have observed structural bone loss that is not captured by standard analysis. This study uses void space analysis to quantify development of localized structural bone loss during fracture healing. Twenty-six participants (21 female, 5 male, aged 18-79 years) with conservatively-treated distal radius fractures were scanned using HR-pQCT at 6 study visits post-fracture (weeks 1, 3, 5, 12, 26, and 52). Total BMD (Tt.BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), and void space volume fraction (VS/TV) were measured. Grip strength relative to the non-fractured wrist and Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) were measured at all study visits after cast removal. The cumulative expansion of VS/TV across sequential study visits was quantified to differentiate voids that developed during healing from pre-existing void space. A five-fold increase in median VS/TV was observed during the follow-up period, from 1.0% (0.6-9.0%) to 5.5% (2.5-12.4%). Tt.BMD and BV/TV did not significantly change in this same time interval. Relative grip strength after cast removal was significantly inversely correlated with final VS/TV (⍴ = -0.63, p=.02) and cumulative expansion of new void space during healing (R = -0.67, p<.01), whereas no significant associations were found with age or PRWE. This study suggests that there are adverse changes in bone microarchitecture during fracture healing, despite the preservation of overall Tt.BMD and BV/TV in the same region. Reduced grip strength is correlated with more severe void space formation, but the mechanistic relationship requires further exploration. The formation of void spaces may have long-term implications on bone strength and could provide insight into risk of re-fracture.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672902","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}
