AbstractSenile osteoporosis can cause bone fragility and increased fracture risks and has been one of the most prevalent and severe diseases affecting the elderly population. Bone formation depends on the proper osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in the bone marrow microenvironment, which is generated by the functional relationship among different cell types in the bone marrow. With aging, bone marrow provides signals that repress osteogenesis. Finding the signals that oppose BMSC osteogenic differentiation from the bone marrow microenvironment and identifying the abnormal changes in BMSCs with aging are key to elucidating the mechanisms of senile osteoporosis. In a pilot experiment, we found that 4-1BBL and 4-1BB were more abundant in bone marrow from aged (18-month-old) mice than young (6-month-old) mice. Meanwhile, significant bone loss was observed in aged mice compared with young mice. However, very little data have been generated regarding whether high-level 4-1BB/4-1BBL in bone marrow was associated with bone loss in aged mice. In the current study, we found upregulation of 4-1BB in the BMSCs of aged mice, which resulted in the attenuation of the osteogenic differentiation potential of BMSCs from aged mice via the p38 MAPK-Dkk1 pathway. More importantly, bone loss of aged mice could be rescued through the blockade of 4-1BB signaling in vivo. Our study will benefit not only our understanding of the pathogenesis of age-related trabecular bone loss but also the search for new targets to treat senile osteoporosis.

It is well documented that glucocorticoid excess causes bone loss, but the mechanisms of these effects remain poorly defined. To understand further the mechanisms of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, we investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on bone formation and bone resorption by examining the proliferation, functional activities, and cytokine secretion of cultured human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC). Treatment with dexamethasone for 24 h at the concentration of 10(-8) M significantly suppressed [(3)H]thymidine incorporation and further inhibition was observed with longer treatment (8 days) or higher concentration (10(-7) M). Alkaline phosphatase activity of hBMSC was markedly stimulated with addition of dexamethasone (10(-8) M), to 191 +/- 22% (after 4 days) and 317 +/- 46% (after 7 days) of control. Dexamethasone (10(-8) M) treatment for 48 h decreased the incorporation of [(3)H]proline into collagenase-digestible protein (CDP; 43.7+/-7.9% of control) and non-collagen protein (65.2+/-8.4% of control), with a greater effect on CDP. Northern blot analysis indicated that alpha1(I)-collagen mRNA level was decreased by dexamethasone to 27.6 +/- 9.0% of the control value after 1 day of exposure, and to 55.2 +/- 6.2% after 7 days. Dexamethasone markedly suppressed basal production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-11 and that stimulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), IL-1alpha, or tumour necrosis factor-alpha in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the glucocorticoid-induced bone loss is derived at least in part via inhibition of bone formation, which includes the suppression of osteoblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. As both basal and PTH-stimulated production of IL-6 and IL-11 are decreased by dexamethasone, the increased bone resorption observed in glucocorticoid-induced osteopenia does not appear to be mediated by IL-6 or IL-11.
