Owing to the irregular multiscale structure of bone tissue, the fluid stimulation that lacunar-canalicular network (LCN) in different regions of the tissue underwent remained unclear. In this study, we constructed a multiscale conduction model of fluid flow stimulus signals in bone tissue based on the poroelasticity theory. We analyzed the fluid flow behaviors at the macro-scale (whole bone tissue), macro-<em>meso</em> scale (periosteum, interstitial bone, osteon and endosteum), and micro-scale (lacunar-osteocyte-canalicular) levels. We explored how fluid stimulation at the tissue level correlated with that at the cellular level in cortical bone and characterized the distributions of the pore pressure, fluid velocity and fluid shear stress that the osteocytes experienced across the entire tissue structure. The results showed that the initial conditions of intramedullary pressure had a significant impact on the pore pressure of Haversian systems, but had a relatively small influence on the fluid velocity. The osteocyte which were located at different positions in the bone tissue received very distinct fluid stimuli. Osteocytes in the vicinity of the Haversian Canals experienced higher fluid shear stress stimulation. When the permeability of the LCN was within the range from 10<sup>−21</sup> m<sup>2</sup> to 10<sup>−18</sup> m<sup>2</sup>, the distribution of pressure, fluid velocity and fluid shear stress within the osteon near the periosteum and endosteum was significantly different from that in other parts of the bone. However, when the permeability was less than 10<sup>−22</sup> m<sup>2</sup>, such a difference did not exist.

The cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptide (CRAMP) is a multifunctional modulator of the innate immunity that has emerged as biomarker of cardiometabolic diseases. The aims of this study were i) to assess the differential impact between hyperinsulinemic obesity versus insulinopenic T2D, on bone phenotype and bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT), and ii) to analyse the link with CRAMP expression and its circulating levels in the context of obesity and T2D. We used C57BL/6 J male mice models of obesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD), and of insulinopenic T2D induced by streptozotocin (STZ) treatment combined with HFD, reflecting the metabolic heterogeneity of the diseases. As compared to low-fat diet (LFD) control group after 16 weeks of feeding, the HFD mice exhibit a significant weight gain, moderate hyperglycaemia, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and significant increase in serum insulin levels. This hyperinsulinemic obesity led to decreased trabecular (Tb.Th) and cortical thickness (Ct.Th) in the tibia, associated with significant BMAT expansion, in addition to increased subcutaneaous (SCAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). No changes were observed in the circulating levels of CRAMP peptide neither in other bone parameters. While, STZ treatment in HFD/STZ group induced a more severe hyperglycaemia, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, and hypoinsulinemia. We also observed a negative effect on the expansion of both SCAT and VAT, as well as lower increase in BMAT as compared to HFD group.

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a secreted glycoprotein, facilitates HA matrix assembly and remodeling. However, it remains unclear whether PTX3 affects EO by regulating HA-rich PCM assembly of chondrocytes, thereby impacting fracture healing and traumatic HO. This study demonstrates that PTX3 deficiency impairs fracture healing and inhibits traumatic HO, but dose not affect growth plate development in mice. PTX3 expression is up-regulated during chondrocyte matrix synthesis and maturation and is localized in the HA-rich PCM. PTX3 promotes the assembly of HA-rich PCM in a serum- and TSG6-dependent manner, fostering CD44 receptor clustering, activating the FAK/AKT signaling pathway, and promoting chondrocyte matrix synthesis and maturation. Local injection of PTX3/TSG6 matrix protein mixture effectively promotes fracture healing in mice.

Conversely, ML385 group exhibited significantly higher ferroptosis-related indicators and lower levels of NRF2/ARE pathway-related factors and osteogenesis.
