TCIRG1 gene encodes the a3 subunit, an essential isoform of the vacuolar ATPase proton pump involved in the acidification of the resorption lacuna and in secretory lysosome trafficking. The gene defects lead to inefficient bone resorption by unfunctional osteoclasts which are seen in abundance on bone marrow biopsy, delineating this form of ARO as 'osteoclast-rich'.

Impaired gastric calcium uptake due to high pH causes the co-occurrence of rickets, described as \"osteopetrorickets\". Osteoclast dysfunction leads to early death if untreated and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the treatment of choice. Combined studies in patients and mouse models carrying spontaneous (the oc/oc mouse) or targeted disruption of Atp6i (TCIRG1) gene have been instrumental for the insight into disease pathogenesis and for the development of novel cellular therapies exploiting gene correction.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116519"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42539823","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}

However, to date, peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT)-derived muscle density has been little studied. We used a well characterised cohort of older adults to identify lifestyle and anthropometric determinants of pQCT-derived muscle density measured 11 years later, and to report relationships between pQCT-derived muscle density with history of falls and prevalent fractures.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000A lifestyle questionnaire was administered to 197 men and 178 women, aged 59-70 at baseline. After a median of 11.5 (IQR 10.9, 12.3) years, pQCT (Stratec XCT2000) of the radius and tibia was performed to measure forearm muscle density (FMD) and calf muscle density (CMD). Presence of falls and fractures since the age of 45 were determined through participant recall; vertebral fractures were also ascertained through vertebral fracture assessment using iDXA. Total hip BMD (TH aBMD) was assessed using DXA. Baseline characteristics in relation to muscle density at follow-up were examined using linear regression; associations between muscle density and prior falls and fractures were investigated using logistic regression. All analyses were adjusted for sex and age.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Mean (SD) age at muscle density measurement was 76.3 (2.6) years. Mean (SD) FMD was 79.9 (3.1) and 77.2 (3.2) among males and females, respectively; CMD was 80.7 (2.6) and 78.5 (2.6) among males and females, respectively. Significant sex-differences in muscle density were observed at each site (p < 0.001). Female sex, lower weight, and lower body mass index were associated (p < 0.05) with both lower FMD and CMD. Additional correlates of lower CMD included older age and shorter stature. Lifestyle measures were not associated with muscle density in this cohort. Lower FMD was related to increased risk of previous fracture (OR (95 % CI) per SD lower FMD: 1.42 (1.07, 1.89), p = 0.015) but not after adjustment for TH aBMD (p > 0.08). No significant relationships were seen between muscle density and falls.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Female sex, older age, and lower BMI were associated with subsequent lower muscle density in older community-dwelling adults. Lower FMD was related to increased risk of previous fracture. Changes in muscle density over time might precede adverse outcomes such as falls and fractures and may be a long-term predictor of frailty. It could be also suggested that muscle density could be a more clinically meaningful surrogate of functional decline and disability than muscle size or mass, but more studies are needed to support this notion.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45526461","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}

Denosumab was shown to reduce humeral fractures in this population; however, no clinical or preclinical studies have quantified the effects of denosumab on humerus bone mineral density or bone microarchitecture changes. This study used micro-computed tomography (μCT) and computed tomography (CT), alongside image-based finite element (FE) models derived from both modalities, to quantify the effects of denosomab (DMAb) and alendronate (ALN) on humeral bone from acutely ovariectomized (OVX) cynomolgus monkeys. Animals were treated with 12 monthly injections of s.c. vehicle (VEH; n = 10), s.c. denosumab (DMAb; 25 mg/kg, n = 9), or i.v. alendronate (ALN; 50 μg/kg, n = 10). Two more groups received 6 months of VEH followed by 6 months of DMAb (VEH-DMAb; n = 7) or 6 months of ALN followed by 6 months of DMAb (ALN-DMAb; n = 9). After treatment, humeri were harvested and μCT was used to quantify tissue mineral density, trabecular morphology, and cortical porosity at the humeral head. Clinical CT imaging was also used to quantify trabecular and cortical bone mineral density (BMD) at the ultra-proximal, proximal, 1/5 proximal and midshaft of the bone. Finally, μCT-based FE models in compression, and CT-based FE models in compression, torsion, and bending, were developed to estimate differences in strength. Compared to VEH, groups that received DMAb at any time demonstrated lower cortical porosity and/or higher tissue mineral density via μCT; no effects on trabecular morphology were observed. FE estimated strength based on μCT was higher after 12-months DMAb (p = 0.020) and ALN-DMAb (p = 0.024) vs. VEH; respectively, FE predicted mean (SD) strength was 4649.88 (710.58) N, and 4621.10 (1050.16) N vs. 3309.4 (876.09) N. All antiresorptive treatments were associated with higher cortical BMD via CT at the 1/5 proximal and midshaft of the humerus; however, no differences in CT-based FE predicted strength were observed. Overall, these results help to explain the observed reductions in humeral fracture rate following DMAb treatment in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116517"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47837907","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}

The morphology of these lacunae and their resident osteocytes are known to change with age and diseases such as postmenopausal osteoporosis.

To investigate this, we implemented a previously validated methodology to image and quantify the three-dimensional morphometries of lacunae on a large scale (26.2 million cells) with ultra-high-resolution micro-computed tomography (microCT) in transiliac bone biopsies from three groups of premenopausal women: control n=39; idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) n=45; idiopathic low BMD (ILBMD) n=19. Important lacunar morphometric parameters were measured in both trabecular and cortical bone: lacunar density (Lc.N/BV), lacunar porosity (Lc.TV/BV), lacunar number (Lc.N), lacunar volume (Lc.V), lacunar surface area (Lc.S), lacunar alignment (Lc.{theta}), lacunar stretch (Lc.St), lacunar oblateness (Lc.Ob), lacunar equancy (Lc.Eq), and lacunar sphericity (Lc.Sr). These were then compared against each other and also with previously measured tissue morphometries including: bone volume density (BV/TV), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), structure model index (SMI), cortical porosity (Ct.Po) and cortical pore spacing (Ct.Sp). We detected no differences in lacunar morphology between the IOP, ILBMD and healthy premenopausal women. In contrast, we did find significant differences between lacunar morphologies in cortical and trabecular regions within all three groups, which was consistent with our previous findings on a subgroup of the healthy group. Furthermore, we discovered strong correlations between Lc.Sr from both trabecular and cortical regions with the measured BV/TV. The findings and comprehensive lacunar dataset we present here will be a crucial foundation for future investigations of the relationship between osteocyte lacunar morphology and disease.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44693486","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}

There is a need to understand how the tibia is loaded in vivo to understand how bone stress injuries develop and design exercises to build a more robust bone. Here, we use subject-specific, muscle-driven, finite element simulations of 11 basketball players to calculate strain and strain rate distributions at the midshaft and distal tibia during six activities: walking, sprinting, lateral cut, jumping after landing, changing direction from forward-to-backward sprinting, and changing direction while side shuffling. Maximum compressive strains were at least double maximum tensile strains during the stance phase of all activities. Sprinting and lateral cut had the highest compressive (-2862 ± 662 με and -2697 ± 495 με, respectively) and tensile (973 ± 208 με and 942 ± 223 με, respectively) strains. These activities also had the highest strains rates (peak compressive strain rate = 64,602 ± 19,068 με/s and 37,961 ± 14,210 με/s, respectively). Compressive strains principally occurred in the posterior tibia for all activities; however, tensile strain location varied. Activities involving a change in direction increased tensile loads in the anterior tibia. These observations may guide preventative and management strategies for tibial bone stress injuries. In terms of prevention, the strain distributions suggest individuals should perform activities involving changes in direction during growth to adapt different parts of the tibia and develop a more fatigue resistant bone. In terms of management, the greater strain and strain rates during sprinting than jumping suggests jumping activities may be commenced earlier than full pace running. The greater anterior tensile strains during changes in direction suggest introduction of these types of activities should be delayed during recovery from an anterior tibial bone stress injury, which have a high-risk of healing complications.","PeriodicalId":93913,"journal":{"name":"Bone","volume":"1 1","pages":"116392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44168894","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}

We examined the relationship between rHOA, including its individual components, and hip pain using a novel dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based method. Methods Hip DXAs were obtained from UK Biobank. An automated method was developed to obtain minimum joint space width (mJSW) from points placed around the femoral head and acetabulum. Osteophyte areas at the lateral acetabulum, superior and inferior femoral head were derived manually. Semi-quantitative measures of osteophytes and joint space narrowing (JSN) were combined to provide a measure of rHOA. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationships between these variables and hip pain, obtained via questionnaires. Results 6,807 hip DXAs were examined. rHOA was present in 353 [5.2%] individuals and was associated with hip pain [OR 2.07 (95% CI 1.54-2.80)] and hospital diagnosed OA [5.73 (2.89-11.36)]. Total osteophyte area and mJSW were associated with hip pain [1.29 (1.21-1.36), 0.84 (0.77-0.92) respectively] in unadjusted models. After mutually adjusting and adding demographic covariates, total osteophyte area continued to have strong evidence of association with hip pain [1.31 (1.23-1.39)] but mJSW did not [0.95 (0.87-1.04)].
