Enhanced SIRT3 expression restores mitochondrial quality control mechanism to reverse osteogenic impairment in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Osteoporosis represents a prevalent and debilitating comorbidity in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is characterized by suppressed osteoblast function and disrupted bone microarchitecture. In this study, we utilized male C57BL/6 J mice to investigate the role of SIRT3 in T2DM. Decreased SIRT3 expression and impaired mitochondrial quality control mechanism are observed in both in vitro and in vivo models of T2DM.

Active fraction of Polyrhachis vicina (Rogers) inhibits osteoclastogenesis by targeting Trim38 mediated proteasomal degradation of TRAF6.

Background: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is a key factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis (OP) primarily characterized by excessive osteoclast activity. Active fraction of Polyrhachis vicina Rogers (AFPR) exerts antioxidant effects and possesses extensive promising therapeutic effects in various conditions, however, its function in osteoclastogenesis and OP is unknown.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AFPR in OP.

Cichoric acid targets RANKL to inhibit osteoclastogenesis and prevent ovariectomy-induced bone loss.

Background And Aim: Osteoporosis, a systemic metabolic bone disease, is characterized by the decline of bone mass and quality due to excessive osteoclast activity. Currently, drug-targeting osteoclasts show promising therapy for osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of cichoric acid (CA) on receptor activator of nuclear kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and the bone loss induced by ovariectomy in mice.

Inflammatory Fibroblast-Like Synoviocyte-Derived Exosomes Aggravate Osteoarthritis via Enhancing Macrophage Glycolysis.

The severity of osteoarthritis (OA) and cartilage degeneration is highly associated with synovial inflammation. Although recent investigations have revealed a dysregulated crosstalk between fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and macrophages in the pathogenesis of synovitis, limited knowledge is available regarding the involvement of exosomes. Here, increased exosome secretion is observed in FLSs from OA patients.

UPLC/Q-TOF-MS-based metabolomics evaluate the efficacy of oroxylin A against postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Post-menopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common metabolic bone malady characterized by bone mass loss and bone microarchitectural deterioration; however, there is currently no effective drug for its management. According to our previous study, oroxylin A (OA) could effectively protect ovariectomized (OVX)-osteoporotic mice from bone loss; however, its therapeutic targets are still unclear. From a metabolomic perspective, we studied serum metabolic profiles to discover potential biomarkers and OVX-related metabolic networks, which could assist us to comprehend the impact of OA on OVX.

AKT/GSK3β/NFATc1 and ROS signal axes are involved in AZD1390-mediated inhibitory effects on osteoclast and OVX-induced osteoporosis.

As a common disease in modern society, osteoporosis is caused by osteoclast hyperactivation, leading to enhanced bone resorption. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metobolism and nuclear factor-activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) activities are two crucial processes during osteoclastogenesis. AZD1390 (AZD), an inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), has been reported for antitumor effects, but little is known about how it plays a function in metabolic bone disease.

Onc201 reduces osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss via inhibiting RANKL-induced NFATc1 activation and the integrin signaling pathway.

Osteoporosis is an osteolytic disease with a disrupted balance between the resorption and formation of bone as well as bone microstructure degeneration, leading to bone loss and increased fracture risk, which greatly affects patients' quality of life. Currently, inhibition of osteoclast bone resorption remains the mainstream treatment for osteoporosis. Onc201, a new compound, induces the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and has an efficient anticancer effect in clinical trials.

Corilagin attenuates osteoclastic osteolysis by enhancing HO-1 and inhibiting ROS.

Chinese herbal medicine has well-established therapeutic effects in various diseases. Corilagin (Cor), a gallic acid tannin in Phyllanthus niruri L., has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in many diseases.

Epoxymicheliolide inhibits osteoclastogenesis and resists OVX-induced osteoporosis by suppressing ERK1/2 and NFATc1 signaling.

The hyperactivity of osteoclasts caused by postmenopausal estrogen deficiency plays an imperative role in the progression of osteoporosis. Although osteoporosis-related drugs have been widely used to alleviate this disorder, there is an urgent need for drugs with fewer side effects. In this study, we found that epoxymicheliolide (EMCL), a derivative of parthenolide, has a high affinity to ERK1/2, but the treatment and mechanism of osteoporosis using EMCL have not been explored.

Oroxylin A reduces osteoclast formation and bone resorption via suppressing RANKL-induced ROS and NFATc1 activation.

Excessive bone erosion by osteoclasts is associated with osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periprosthetic osteolysis. Targeting osteoclasts may serve as an effective treatment for osteolytic diseases. Although drugs are currently available for the treatment of these diseases, exploring potential anti-osteoclast natural compounds with safe and effective treatment remains needed.

D(-)-salicin inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and function in vitro.

Osteoporosis is a disease, which causes huge economic and social burden. Using natural compound to treat such disease is beneficial for the fewer side effects and effectiveness. D-(-)-salicin (DSA) is a component extracted from the bark of Populus and Salix species.

Elevated Circulating CD4CD25CD127 Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Non-asthmatic Eosinophilic Bronchitis.

Purpose: Non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB) is a common cause of chronic cough. It is characterized by sputum eosinophilia like asthma but lacks airway hyperresponsiveness. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are recognized as immune suppressors and are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.
