Zinc can enhance osteoblastic bone formation and stimulate osteogenic differentiation, suppress the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells into osteoclasts, and inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, simonkolleite, as a novel zinc resource, was coated on poly (amino acids) (PAA) via suspending PAA powder in different concentrations of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) solution, and the simonkolleite-coated PAA (Zn–PAA) was characterized by SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XPS. Zinc ions were continuously released from the coating, and the release behavior was dependent on both the concentration of the ZnCl2 immersing solution and the type of soak solutions (SBF, PBS and DMEM). The Zn–PAA was cultured with mouse bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) through TranswellTM plates, and the results indicated that the relative cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization of BMSCs were significantly higher with Zn–PAA as compared to PAA. Moreover, the Zn–PAA was cultured with RAW264.7 cells, and the results suggested an inhibiting effect of Zn–PAA on the cell differentiation into osteoclasts. In addition, Zn–PAA exhibited an antibacterial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli. These findings suggest that simonkolleite coating with certain contents could promote osteogenesis, suppress osteoclast formation and inhibit bacteria, indicating a novel way of enhancing the functionality of synthetic bone graft material and identifying the underline principles for designing zinc-containing bone grafts.

This study assessed effects of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid (ZLNA) on osteoclastogenesis. To assess the effect of ZLNA on osteoclast formation in vitro, we cultured mouse bone marrow cells under conditions that promote osteoclastogenesis. Administered at concentrations from 10−6 to 10−9 mol/L, ZLNA led to a dose-dependent inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. Combined TUNEL staining and histochemical staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase showed that ZLNA induced apoptosis in osteoclasts and monocytic precursor cells. To study the effects of ZLNA in vivo, we placed keratin particles onto the surface of the parietal bone of mice to induce localized inflammatory bone resorption. Three experimental groups received daily subcutaneous injections of ZLNA (1, 3, or 10 μg/kg body weight) from 4 days before surgery until 5 days after keratin implantation. The ZLNA significantly reduced osteoclast recruitment in a dose-dependent manner, but did not affect the degree of inflammation or the mineral apposition rate.

ABSTRACT Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) of Thermotoga maritimawas expressed in Escherichia coli from the cloned T. maritima RRF gene and purified. Expression of T. maritima RRF inhibited growth of the E. coli host in a dose-dependent manner, an effect counteracted by the overexpression of E. coli RRF. T. maritima RRF also inhibited the E. coli RRF reaction in vitro. Genes encoding RRFs fromStreptococcus pneumoniae and Helicobacter pylori have been cloned, and they also impair growth of E. coli, although the inhibitory effect of these RRFs was less pronounced than that of T. maritima RRF. The amino acid sequence at positions 57 to 62, 74 to 78, 118 to 122, 154 to 160, and 172 to 176 in T. maritima RRF differed totally from that ofE. coli RRF. This suggests that these regions are important for the inhibitory effect of heterologous RRF. We further suggest that bending and stretching of the RRF molecule at the hinge between two domains may be critical for RRF activity and therefore responsible forT. maritima RRF inhibition of the E. coli RRF reaction.

Abstract Introduction Osthole has a potential therapeutic application for anti-osteoporosis. The present study verified whether osthole downregulates osteoclastogenesis via targeting OPG. Methods In vivo, 12-month-old male mice were utilized to evaluate the effect of osthole on bone mass. In vitro, bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and extracted from 3-month-old OPG−/− mice and the littermates of OPG+/+ mice. Calvaria osteoblasts were extracted from 3-day-old C57BL/6J mice or 3-day-old OPG−/− mice and the littermates of OPG+/+ mice. Results Osthole significantly increased the gene and protein levels of OPG in primary BMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. The deletion of the OPG gene did not affect β-catenin expression. The deletion of the β-catenin gene inhibited OPG expression in BMSCs, indicating that osthole stimulates the expression of OPG via activation of β-catenin signaling. Conclusion Osthole attenuates osteoclast formation by stimulating the activation of β-catenin-OPG signaling and could be a potential drug for the senile osteoporosis.

The Gram-negative periodontopathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) binds selectively to buccal epithelial cells (BECs) of human and Old World primates by means of the outer-membrane autotransporter protein Aae. We speculated that the exposed N-terminal portion of the passenger domain of Aae would mediate binding to BECs. By using a series of plasmids that express full-length or truncated Aae proteins in Escherichia coli, we found that the BEC-binding domain of Aae was located in the N-terminal surface-exposed region of the protein, specifically in the region spanning amino acids 201–284 just upstream of the repeat region within the passenger domain. Peptides corresponding to amino acids 201–221, 222–238 and 201–240 were synthesized and tested for their ability to reduce Aae-mediated binding to BECs based on results obtained with truncated Aae proteins expressed in E. coli. BEC-binding of E. coli expressing Aae was reduced by as much as 50 % by pre-treatment of BECs with a 40-mer peptide (201–240; P40). Aae was also shown to mediate binding to cultured human epithelial keratinocytes (TW2.6), OBA9 and TERT, and endothelial (HUVEC) cells. Pre-treatment of epithelial cells with P40 resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in binding and reduced the binding of both full-length and truncated Aae proteins expressed in E. coli, as well as Aae expressed in Aa. Fluorescently labelled P40 peptides reacted in a dose-dependent manner with BEC receptors. We propose that these proof-of-principle experiments demonstrate that peptides can be designed to interfere with Aa binding mediated by host-cell receptors specific for Aae adhesins.

Abstract Abstract 1835 Blocking CRM1 by novel selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE: KPT-185, KPT-251, KPT-276, and KPT-330) induced potent MM cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo (Abstract #46829). In addition, these compounds inhibited NFkB p65 DNA-binding activity in MM cells. Here, we investigated whether SINEs have effects on bone and whether this is mediated only through anti-MM activity, or additional effects directly on osteoclasts (OC) are in play. We asked whether SINEs could prevent RANKL/M-CSF-induced osteoclastogenesis via blockade of NFkB activation. Mature OC (TRAP+ multinucleated cell) were derived from the CD138-negative cell fraction from MM patient samples (n=4) stimulated with RANKL/M-CSF for 3 weeks, in the presence or absence of KPT-185. KPT-185 significantly blocked formation of TRAP+ multinucleated OC in a dose-dependent manner, further confirmed by reduction of the selective osteoclastic marker TRAP5b in cell culture supernatant. NFkB p65 activity was induced in nuclear extracts of CD14+ OC precursor cells following RANKL stimulation for 30 min. Importantly, KPT-185 and KPT-330 blocked such induction in a dose-dependent manner. When KPT-185 was added 2 weeks following OC differentiation by RANKL/M-CSF, the effects of KPT-185 on osteoclast culture were not as prominent as when drug was added from the onset. Immunofluorescence staining to examine the actin cytoskeleton in OC cultures performed on glass cover slips further confirmed that actin belt formation in mature OCs is required for bone resorption activity. In the presence of KPT-185 or KPT-330, such critical structure was significantly decreased, consistent with diminished mature OC number and reduced TRAP5b. Pit formation assays on dentine slices clearly showed that KPT-185 and KPT-330, as low as 10 nM, inhibited % erosion area when compared with control group (p<0.005). In RANKL-activated preosteoclasts, both compounds further blocked expression levels of NFATC1, the key osteoclast differentiation transcription factor, as well as fusion-related (Atp6v0d2 and DC-STAMP) and adhesion (integrin αv and integrin β3) molecules. We also assessed the effect of SINE on osteogenesis derived from mesenchymal stem cells of normal healthy donors (n=3). Neither KPT-276 nor KPT-330 blocked calcium deposition, an indicator of bone formation in in vitro culture. Moreover, KPT-185 did not alter INA6 MM cell-inhibited calcium deposition of osteoblasts. Thus, SINEs specifically blocked osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity without significantly impacting osteogenesis. This is the first study to demonstrate a novel role of CRM1 regulating osteoclast formation at least in part by blocking NFkB activity triggered in osteoclast precursor cells by RANKL stimulation. Decreased NFkB p65 activity essential for osteoclast differentiation and fusion was associated with suppressed bone resorption. The potent MM cytotoxicity and prolonged host survival (p=0.0004) demonstrated in our disseminated SCID mouse model of human MM (Abstract#46829), coupled with these bone effects, provide the framework for clinical trials targeting CRM1 with SINEs to simultaneously inhibit both tumor progression and bone destruction in MM.

The nature of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects induced by hydralazine was analyzed taking into account possible protection of cells by catalase, superoxide dismutase and dimethyl sulfoxide. For the experiments designed to evaluate the influence of scavengers on the genotoxicity expressed as the SOS induction factor the E. coli PQ37 strain was used. The cytotoxic effects were investigated in V3 cells cultured in vitro. The genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of hydralazine were suppressed by catalase in a dose-dependent manner but they were enhanced by superoxide dismutase. No protective effect of dimethyl sulfoxide was observed. Our results indicate that H2O2 plays an essential role in the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of hydralazine.

Novel sulfonamides were developed and structures of the new products were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis (FT-IR, ESI-MS,1HNMR, and13CNMR). In vitro, developed compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against medically important gram (+) and gram (−) bacterial strains, namely,S. aureus,B. subtilis,E. coli, andK. pneumoniae. The antibacterial activities have been determined by measuring MIC values (μg/mL) and zone of inhibitions (mm). Among the tested compounds, it was found that compounds 5a and 9a have most potent activity againstE. coliwith zone of inhibition:31±0.12 mm (MIC: 7.81 μg/mL) and30±0.12 mm (MIC: 7.81 μg/mL), respectively, nearly as active as ciprofloxacin (zone of inhibition:32±0.12 mm). In contrast, all the compounds were totally inactive against the gram (+)B. subtilis.

Abstract. Incubation of 18-hydroxycorticosterone with the sonicated mitochondrial preparation of bovine adrenal glomerulosa tissue leads to the production of aldosterone, as measured by radioimmunoassay. The in vitro production of aldosterone from 18-hydroxycorticosterone requires both molecular oxygen and NADPH, and is inhibited by carbon monoxide. Cytochrome P-450 inhibitors such as metyrapone, SU 8000. SU 10603, SKF 525A, amphenone B and spironolactone decrease the biosynthesis of aldosterone from 18-hydroxycorticosterone. These results support the conclusion that the final reaction in aldosterone synthesis from 18-hydroxycorticosterone is catalyzed by an oxygenase, but not by 18-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. By the same preparation, the production of [3H]aldosterone but not [3H]18-hydroxycorticosterone from [1,2-3H ]corticosterone is decreased in a dose-dependent manner by addition of non-radioactive 18-hydroxycorticosterone.
