We found that Jagged-1 (and Jagged-2) expression by alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (αSMA) expressing progenitors is required for bone formation. Similarly, we found that Notch transcriptional activity within the αSMA lineage is required for BMP-induced bone regeneration. Inhibition of Notch signaling in the αSMA lineage resulted in decreased osteoblast progenitors, reduced vascularization, and sustained inflammation 10 days post-injury, with enhanced inflammation still present 42 days post-injury. We conclude that Jagged ligand induced Notch signaling within the osteoblast progenitor lineage is therefore required for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) induced bone regeneration.

To reduce fracture risk in this growing population, interventions are needed that target both bone mass and quality. Romosozumab (Romo) is an FDA-approved sclerostin inhibitor that has been shown to increase bone mass and strength in a murine model of combined diabetes and CKD (DKD), while Raloxifene (RAL) is a mild anti-resorptive used to treat osteoporosis that has also been shown to increase bone mechanical properties by increasing bone bound water content. We aimed to test whether combined RAL and Romo treatment could improve bone quality in our murine model of DKD more than either treatment alone. Using a previously established streptozotocin- and adenine-diet-induced model, male, C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four treatment groups and given daily subcutaneous injections of 100 μL vehicle (phosphorus buffered saline, PBS) or 0.5 mg/kg RAL. In addition, two groups were also given a weekly dose of Romo (10 mg/kg). Overall, Romo increased whole-bone strength and RAL improved tissue-level mechanical properties. Combined RAL-Romo treatment led to significantly higher cortical and trabecular bone mass compared to untreated controls. These morphological improvements created corresponding improvements in cortical bending strength and vertebral trabecular compression strength. These results suggest that combined RAL-Romo treatment provides both mass and quality improvements to DKD bone.</p>","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":" ","pages":"117415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070089","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}

Glyconutrients and synbiotics are promising options for improving immune function. Therefore, we hypothesized that combining synbiotics and glyconutrients will enhance pig nutrient utilization. 150 pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc), initially weighing 58.85 ± 3.30 kg of live body weight (BW) were utilized to determine the effects of synbiotics-glyconutrients (SGN) on the pigs' performance, feed efficiency, gas emission, pork traits, and composition of fatty acids. The pigs were matched by BW and sex and chosen at random to 1 of 3 diet treatments: control = Basal diet; TRT1 = Basal diet + SGN 0.15%; TRT2 = Basal diet + SGN 0.30%%. The trials were conducted in two phases (weeks 1-5 and weeks 5-10). The average daily gain was increased in pigs fed a basal diet with SGN (<i>p</i> = 0.036) in weeks 5-10. However, the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and gross energy did not differ among the treatments (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Dietary treatments had no effect on NH<sub>3</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>S, methyl mercaptans, acetic acids, and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Improvement in drip loss on day 7 (<i>p</i> = 0.053) and tendency in the cooking loss were observed (<i>p</i> = 0.070) in a group fed basal diets and SGN at 0.30% inclusion level. The group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN had higher levels of palmitoleic acid (C16:1), margaric acid (C17:0), omega-3 fatty acid, omega-6 fatty acid, and ω-6: ω-3 ratio (<i>p</i> = 0.034, 0.020, 0.025, 0.007, and 0.003, respectively) in the fat of finishing pigs. Furthermore, group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN improved margaric acid (C17:0), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidic acid (C20:0), omega 6 fatty acid, omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, unsaturated fatty acid, and monounsaturated fatty acid (p = 0.037, 0.05, 0.0142, 0.036, 0.033, 0.020, and 0.045, respectively) in the lean tissues of finishing pigs compared to pigs fed with the control diets.

Yet, the increase in fracture risk in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients is not fully captured by bone mineral density (BMD), leading to the hypothesis that alterations in bone quality are responsible for the increased risk. Material/compositional properties are important aspects of bone quality, yet information on human bone material/compositional properties in T1D is rather sparse. The purpose of the present study is to measure both the intrinsic material behaviour by nanoindentation, and material compositional properties by Raman spectroscopy as a function of tissue age and microanatomical location (cement lines) in bone tissue from iliac crest biopsies from postmenopausal women diagnosed with long-term T1D (N = 8), and appropriate sex-, age-, BMD- and clinically-matched controls (postmenopausal women; N = 5). The results suggest elevation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) content in the T1D and show significant differences in mineral maturity / crystallinity (MMC) and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content between the T1D and control groups. Furthermore, both hardness and modulus by nanoindentation are greater in T1D. These data suggest a significant deterioration of material strength properties (toughness) and compositional properties in T1D compared with controls.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116832"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45367411","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}

They are not constant and differ from those of adults due to the growth processes taking place. Accordingly, reference levels of AP continuous across these ages were generated for boys and girls based on of a large German health- and population-based study, LIFE Child. We considered AP at different growth and Tanner stages and additionally its association with other anthropometric parameters. The association between AP and BMI was of particulary great interest due to controversial literature on this topic. The role of AP in liver metabolism was investigated by examining ALAT, ASAT, and GGT.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u00003976 healthy children (12,093 visits) were included from the LIFE Child study from 2011 to 2020. The subjects´ age ranged from 3 months to 18 years. Serum samples from 3704 subjects (10,272 cases, 1952 boys and 1753 girls) were analysed for AP after applying specific exclusion criteria. After calculating of reference percentiles, associations between AP and height-SDS, growth velocity, BMI-SDS, Tanner stage and the liver enzymes ALAT, ASAT and GGT were examined via linear regression models.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In the continuous reference levels, AP showed a first peak during the first year of life, followed by a plateau at a lower level until the start of puberty. In girls, AP increased beginning at the age 8, with a peak around 11 years, in boys beginning at the age 9, with a peak around age 13. Afterwards, AP values decreased continuously until age 18. In Tanner stages 1 and 2, AP levels did not differ between the two sexes. We found a strong positive association between AP-SDS and BMI-SDS. We also observed a significantly positive association between AP-SDS and height-SDS, which was stronger in boys than in girls. We found different intensities in the associations of AP with growth velocity depending on age group and sex. Furthermore, we found a significantly positive association between ALAT and AP in girls but not in boys, whereas ASAT-SDS and GGT-SDS were significantly positively associated with AP-SDS in both sexes.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Sex and age, but also BMI may act as confounding factors for AP reference ranges. Our data confirm the remarkable association between AP and growth velocity (or height-SDS, respectively) during infancy and puberty. In addition, we were able to specify the associations between AP and ALAT, ASAT, and GGT and their differences in both sexes. These relations should be considered when evaluating liver and bone metabolism markers, especially in infancy.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116809"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41642183","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}
