Here, we systematically characterized and quantified macro- and micro-calcification in a HFTC cohort using CT and 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT (18F-NaF PET/CT). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed on 4 phenotypically different calcifications from a patient with HFTC, showing the dominant component to be hydroxyapatite. Eleven patients with HFTC were studied with CT and/or 18F-NaF PET/CT. Qualitative review was done to describe the spectrum of imaging findings on both modalities. CT-based measures of volume (eg, total calcific burden and lesion volume) and density (Hounsfield units) were quantified and compared to PET-based measures of mineralization activity (eg, mean standardized uptake values-SUVs). Microcalcification scores were calculated for the vasculature of 6 patients using 18F-NaF PET/CT and visualized on a standardized vascular atlas. Ectopic calcifications were present in 82% of patients, predominantly near joints and the distal extremities. Considerable heterogeneity was observed in total calcific burden per patient (823.0 ± 670.1 cm3, n = 9) and lesion volume (282.5 ± 414.8 cm3, n = 27). The largest lesions were found at the hips and shoulders. 18F-NaF PET offered the ability to differentiate active vs quiescent calcifications. Calcifications were also noted in multiple anatomic locations, including brain parenchyma (50%). Vascular calcification was seen in the abdominal aorta, carotid, and coronaries in 50%, 73%, and 50%, respectively. 18F-NaF-avid, but CT-negative calcification was seen in a 17-year-old patient, implicating early onset vascular calcification. This first systematic assessment of calcifications in a cohort of patients with HFTC has identified the early onset, prevalence, and extent of calcification.

Despite osteoclasts being high energy-consuming cells essential for breaking down mineralized bone tissue, the specific function of SIK3 in this process remains unclear. To address this issue, we generated osteoclast-specific SIK3 conditional knockout mice and assessed the impact of SIK3 deletion on bone homeostasis. Our findings revealed that SIK3 conditional knockout mice exhibited increased bone mass and an osteopetrosis phenotype, suggesting a pivotal role for SIK3 in bone resorption. Moreover, we assessed the impact of pterosin B, a SIK3 inhibitor, on osteoclast differentiation. The treatment with pterosin B inhibited osteoclast differentiation, reduced the numbers of multinucleated osteoclasts, and suppressed resorption activity in vitro. Gene expression analysis demonstrated that SIK3 deletion and pterosin B treatment influence a common set of genes involved in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Furthermore, pterosin B treatment altered intracellular metabolism, particularly affecting key metabolic pathways, such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the marrow adiposity in transiliac bone biopsies at months 2 or 12 from the FRAME biopsy sub-study in patients receiving romosozumab or placebo. The total adipocyte area, number, and density were measured on the total cancellous bone area.

In conclusion, based on the analysis of a small number of biopsies, no effect of romosozumab on bone marrow adiposity of iliac crest was identified after 2 and 12 months suggesting that the modeling-based formation observed at month 2 was not due to a preferential commitment of the precursor to osteoblast over adipocyte cell lines but may result from a reactivation of bone lining cells and from a progenitor pool independent of the marrow adipocyte population.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":"1278-1283"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141632158","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}
