Background: Although (AP) exhibits various biological functions such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, cardioprotective and immunomodulatory, its role in estrogen deficiency-related osteoporosis remains unclear.
Methods: Ovariectomy (OVX)-induced estrogen deficiency-related osteoporotic mouse models and sham mouse models were established using 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice. Micro-computed tomography (µCT) scanning was performed to assess the skeletal phenotype. The differentiation potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from the OVX and sham groups was assessed by osteogenic or adipogenic induction medium . To verify the effects of AP, alizarin red S (ARS) staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and oil red O (ORO) staining, reverse transcription assay and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were applied to detect the lineage differentiation ability of BMSCs.
Results: µCT scanning showed that AP treatment attenuated the osteoporotic phenotype in OVX-induced estrogen deficiency-related osteoporotic mice. The results of ARS staining, ALP staining, ORO staining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction indicated that BMSCs from OVX-induced osteoporotic mice displayed a significant reduction in osteogenic differentiation and an increase in adipogenic differentiation, which could be reversed by AP treatment.
Conclusions: Our findings suggested that AP regulated the differentiation potential of BMSCs and ameliorated the development of estrogen deficiency-related osteoporosis, which might be an effective therapeutic method for estrogen deficiency-related osteoporosis.

MSCs-derived EVs protect against chemotherapy-induced ovarian toxicity: role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis.

Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy can lead to ovarian failure and complications related to estrogen deficiency by depleting follicular reserves in the ovaries, and current fertility preservation techniques face significant challenges.
- This study investigates the effects of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on ovarian function in a model of chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure, comparing several treatment groups.
- Results showed that MSCs-EVs therapy helped restore hormonal levels, preserve ovarian follicles, and reduce cell apoptosis, suggesting that this treatment could protect ovarian function and fertility during chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoclasts are important cells in bone remodeling, and targeting their apoptosis could help reduce bone loss as people age.
- The research involved MvpLyz2-Cre mice, which showed that the major vault protein (MVP) plays a protective role against osteoclast formation and is less present in older mice.
- The study found that knocking out MVP led to decreased apoptosis of osteoclasts, identified its interaction with the Fas receptor, and suggested MVP as a potential target for osteoporosis treatments.

Chemogenetic rectification of the inhibitory tone onto hippocampal neurons reverts autistic-like traits and normalizes local expression of estrogen receptors in the Ambra1+/- mouse model of female autism.

Female, but not male, mice with haploinsufficiency for the proautophagic Ambra1 gene show an autistic-like phenotype associated with hippocampal circuits dysfunctions which include loss of parvalbuminergic interneurons (PV-IN), decrease in the inhibition/excitation ratio, and abundance of immature dendritic spines on CA1 pyramidal neurons. Given the paucity of data relating to female autism, we exploit the Ambra1 female model to investigate whether rectifying the inhibitory input onto hippocampal principal neurons (PN) rescues their ASD-like phenotype at both the systems and circuits level. Moreover, being the autistic phenotype exclusively observed in the female mice, we control the effect of the mutation and treatment on hippocampal expression of estrogen receptors (ER).
