Abstract Context: We have previously reported that premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis based on fractures (IOP) or idiopathic low bone mineral density (ILBMD) exhibit markedly reduced bone mass, profoundly abnormal trabecular microstructure, and significant deficits in trabecular bone stiffness. Bone remodeling was heterogeneous. Those with low bone turnover had evidence of osteoblast dysfunction and the most marked deficits in microstructure and stiffness. Objective: Because osteoblasts and marrow adipocytes derive from a common mesenchymal precursor and excess marrow fat has been implicated in the pathogenesis of bone fragility in anorexia nervosa, glucocorticoid excess, and thiazolidinedione exposure, we hypothesized that marrow adiposity would be higher in affected women and inversely related to bone mass, microarchitecture, bone formation rate, and osteoblast number. Design: We analyzed tetracycline-labeled transiliac biopsy specimens in 64 premenopausal women with IOP or ILBMD and 40 controls by three-dimensional micro-computed tomography and two-dimensional quantitative histomorphometry to assess marrow adipocyte number, perimeter, and area. Results: IOP and ILBMD subjects did not differ with regard to any adipocyte parameter, and thus results were combined. Subjects had substantially higher adipocyte number (by 22%), size (by 24%), and volume (by 26%) than controls (P < 0.0001 for all). Results remained significant after adjusting for age, body mass index, and bone volume. Controls demonstrated expected direct associations between marrow adiposity and age and inverse relationships between marrow adiposity and bone formation, volume, and microstructure measures. No such relationships were observed in the subjects. Conclusions: Higher marrow adiposity and the absence of expected relationships between marrow adiposity and bone microstructure and remodeling in women with IOP or ILBMD suggest that the relationships between fat and bone are abnormal; excess marrow fat may not arise from a switch from the osteoblast to the adipocyte lineage in this disorder. Whether excess marrow fat contributes to the pathogenesis of this disorder remains unclear.

Abstract Context Premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) have abnormal skeletal microarchitecture and variable tissue-level bone formation rate (BFR). Objectives Compare 6 months (M) of teriparatide versus placebo on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bone turnover markers (BTMs) and BFR at 3M by quadruple-labeled transiliac biopsy. Characterize 12M and 24M effects of teriparatide on aBMD and whether BTMs and BFR predict response. Design 6M phase 2 randomized controlled trial (RCT) followed by open extension. Setting Tertiary referral centers. Patients Premenopausal women with IOP. Interventions A total of 41 women were randomized to either teriparatide 20 mcg (n = 28) or placebo (n = 13). After 6M, those on placebo switched to teriparatide for 24M; those on teriparatide continued for 18M. Main Outcome Measures 6M RCT: Between-group differences in lumbar spine (LS) aBMD (percent change from baseline), 3M BFR, and hypercalcemia. Open-label extension: Within-group change in LS aBMD over 12M and 24M. Secondary outcomes included aBMD change at other sites and relationship between BTMs, BFR, and changes in aBMD. Findings Over 6M, LS aBMD increased by 5.5% (95% CI: 3.83, 7.19) in teriparatide and 1.5% (95% CI: −0.73, 3.83) in placebo (P = 0.007). There were increases in 3M BTMs, and BFR (cancellous and endocortical BFR: between-groups P = 0.004). Over 24M, teriparatide increased LS aBMD by 13.2% (95% CI: 10.3, 16.2), total hip by 5.2% (95% CI: 3.7, 6.7) and femoral neck by 5.0% (95% CI: 3.2, 6.7; all P ≤ 0.001). Serum N-terminal propeptides of procollagen type 1 (P1NP) and 3M endocortical BFR were moderately associated with LS aBMD response. Teriparatide was well-tolerated. Conclusions Teriparatide increased BFR and formation markers and was associated with marked aBMD improvements in most premenopausal women (82%) with IOP.

AbstractIn vertebrates, bone formation is dynamically controlled by the activity of two specialized cell types: the bone-generating osteoblasts and bone-degrading osteoclasts. Osteoblasts produce the soluble receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) that binds to its receptor RANK on the surface of osteoclast precursor cells to promote osteoclastogenesis, a process that involves cell-cell fusion and assembly of molecular machinery to ultimately degrade the bone. CD13 is a transmembrane aminopeptidase that is highly expressed in cells of myeloid lineage has been shown to regulate dynamin-dependent receptor endocytosis and recycling and is a necessary component of actin cytoskeletal organization. In the present study, we show that CD13-deficient mice display a normal distribution of osteoclast progenitor populations in the bone marrow, but present a low bone density phenotype. Further, the endosteal bone formation rate is similar between genotypes, indicating a defect in osteoclast-specific function in vivo. Loss of CD13 led to exaggerated in vitro osteoclastogenesis as indicated by significantly enhanced fusion of bone marrow-derived multinucleated osteoclasts in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL, resulting in abnormally large cells with remarkably high numbers of nuclei with a concomitant increase in bone resorption activity. Similarly, we also observed increased formation of multinucleated giant cells (MGC) in CD13KO bone marrow progenitor cells stimulated with IL-4 and IL-13, suggesting that CD13 may regulate cell-cell fusion events via a common pathway, independent of RANKL signaling. Mechanistically, while expression levels of the fusion-regulatory proteins dynamin and DC-STAMP are normally downregulated as fusion progresses in fusion-competent mononucleated progenitor cells, in the absence of CD13 they are uniformly sustained at high levels, even in mature multi-nucleated osteoclasts. Taken together, we conclude that CD13 may regulate cell-cell fusion by controlling expression and localization of key fusion proteins that are critical for both osteoclast and MGC fusion.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of dietary calcium (Ca) supplementation on bone metabolism of magnesium (Mg)-deficient rats. Male Wistar rats were randomized by weight into three groups, and fed a control diet (control group), a Mg-deficient diet (Mg- group) or a Mg-deficient diet having twice the control Ca concentrations (Mg-2Ca group) for 14 days. Trabecular bone volume was significantly lower in the Mg - and Mg-2Ca groups than in the control group. Trabecular number was also significantly lower in the Mg - and Mg-2Ca groups than in the control group. Mineralizing bone surface, mineral apposition rate (MAR), and surface referent bone formation rate (BFR/BS) were significantly lower in the Mg - and Mg-2Ca groups than in the control group. Furthermore, MAR and BFR/BS were significantly lower in the Mg-2Ca group than in the Mg - group. These results suggest that dietary Ca supplementation suppresses bone formation in Mg-deficient rats.

Weanling Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to varying degrees of low-Ca dietary stress (depletion) showed graded increases in the rate of endosteal bone formation when normal dietary Ca was restored (repletion). There was a strong positive correlation between the rate of bone resorption in depletion and the rate of bone formation attained after 1 wk of repletion. However, bone formation declined rapidly within the first 4 wk of repletion, despite the persistence of a substantial endosteal bone volume deficit. Furthermore the medullary area (indicative of bone volume) did not by itself determine the bone formation rate. Bone volume in test groups was restored to control levels after 6 mo of repletion, and this result could be predicted by a kinetic analysis. Thus, although very high rates of formation in early repletion decline rapidly, smaller increments relative to controls must be sustained for long periods. Our data indicate that increased formation rats at all stages of repletion are a consequence of elevations in both osteoblast number and osteoblast activity.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) is an osteoblast secretory protein that becomes incorporated into the mineralized bone matrix. In osteoblast cultures, IGFBP-5 stimulates cell proliferation by an IGF-independent mechanism. To evaluate whether IGFBP-5 can stimulate osteoblast activity and enhance bone accretion in a mouse model of osteoblast insufficiency, daily subcutaneous injections of either intact [IGFBP-5 (intact)] or carboxy-truncated IGFBP-5 [IGFBP-5-(1–169)] were given to ovariectomized (OVX) mice for 8 wk. Femur and spine bone mineral density (BMD), measured every 2 wk, showed early and sustained increases in response to IGFBP-5. Bone histomorphometry of cancellous bone showed significant elevations in the bone formation rate in both the femur metaphysis [IGFBP-5- (1)] only) and spine compared with OVX controls. IGFBP-5 also stimulated osteoblast number in the femur IGFBP-5-(1–169) only) and spine. These data indicate that IGFBP-5 effectively enhances bone formation and bone accretion in OVX mice by stimulating osteoblast activity. The finding that IGFBP-5-(1–169) is bioactive in vivo indicates that the carboxy-terminal portion is not required for this bone anabolic effect.
