Calcitriol supplementation in ovariectomized rats decreased bone resorption and increased bone formation, however, it depend on dose. The objective of the research was to study the response of femur bone in osteoporosis rats consuming calcitriol. Thirty female Wistar rats at 8 weeks of age were randomly divided into six groups (sham operated rats as normal control rats/group N and NK, ovariectomized control rats/group Ov and OvK, ovariectomized rats/group OvDand OvE) of five each. All rats were fed standard diet for 8 weeks. At 16 weeks  of age, group N and Ov  were euthanized, the right femur were taken for histopathological  examination. Group NK and OvK were fed a standard diet, group OvD was fed a standard diet +40ng calcitriol;  and group OvE was fed a standard diet+25µg ethynil ethyl estradiol. Treatments were done for six weeks. At the end of study, blood samples were taken from plexus orbitalis medialis for estrogen analysis. All rats were euthanized using ketamine10% and xylazine 2%. Right femur was taken for histopathological examination  using hematoxylin and eosin stain, and immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibody anti TRAP5b which was detected with streptavidin-biotin.         The results showed that estradiol level of the rats in group OvD was not significantly different compared with the rats in OvK group, however, it was significanly lower compared to the rats in group OvE. Histopathologic figure of right distal femur metaphysis in group OvD was shown lesser adipocyte in the bone marrow and more trabecular bone speculum compared to group  OvK, however, there was more adipocyte in the bone marrow and lesser trabecular bone speculum compared to group OvE. Immunohistochemistry of distal femur metaphysis in group OvD and OvE were revealed tartrate resistant alkaline phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) expression in trabecular bone, which was located in bone marrow space and trabecular speculum surface as well. Based on the results, it can be concluded that calcitriol 40ng/day supplementation in osteoporosis rats for 6 weeks decreased bone resorption and increased bone formation distal femur metaphysis.

This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a diet contained fresh anchovies and calcitriol supplementation for 6 weeks to prevent osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. Fifteen Wistar rats aged 8 weeks were divided randomly into 3 groups (normal/K, ovariectomized/Ov, andovariectomized + calcitriol/OVD), 5 mice each. Group K and Ov rats were fed with fresh anchovies, while the OVD group was fed with freshanchovies + calcitriol. At the age of 15 weeks, all mice were done for euthanasia, then left femur was collected for immunohistochemistryexamination of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase5b (TRAP5b). The detection of (TRAP5b) was conducted using a monoclonal ant ibody antiTRAP5b, and detected using a streptavidin-biotin. The results showed that the metaphysis part of distal femur bone of mice group K, Ov, andOVD were positive TRAP5b stained with brown color on trabecular bone in bone marrow cavity and trabecular spiculum surface, but rats ingroup K and Ov had extensive bone marrow cavity and normal trabecular spiculum, whereas OVD group showed bone marrow cavity dilation,accumulation of adipocytes in the bone marrow cavity, and shorter the spiculum of trabeculae. It can be concluded that fresh anchovies diet andcalcitriol supplementation for 6 weeks are not effective in preventing osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats.Key words: calcitriol, femur, ovariohisterectomy

Although an increase in trabecular-bone calcium deposition has been shown to be regulated by prolactin during lactation, the physiological significance of prolactin in bone calcium metabolism in nonlactating rats remains unclear. This investigation sought to demonstrate the effects of endogenous prolactin and a high physiological dose of exogenous prolactin on bone turnover and bone calcium deposition in normal female rats, using the 45Ca-labeling technique. Our results showed that suppression of endogenous prolactin with 6 mg/kg bromocriptine for 15 days significantly enhanced bone formation, but not bone resorption, in primarily trabecular sites, resulting in a significant increase in calcium deposition in the sternum and vertebrae, from –0.20 ± 0.07 to 0.40 ± 0.09 (p < 0.05) and –0.07 ± 0.11 to 0.34 ± 0.06 (p < 0.05) mmol Ca·(g dry mass)–1, respectively. Similarly, 2.5 mg/kg prolactin, a high physiological dose, increased sternal and vertebral calcium deposition, from –0.20 ± 0.07 to 0.24 ± 0.09 (p < 0.05) and –0.07 ± 0.11 to 0.25 ± 0.18 (p < 0.05) mmol Ca·(g dry mass)–1, respectively, by increasing bone formation more than bone resorption. However, as expected, prolactin had no effect on the tibia or femur, which are primarily cortical sites. Because several actions of prolactin have been known to be estradiol-dependent, we further investigated the dependence of prolactin action on 17β-estradiol. We found that 2.5 mg/kg prolactin did not increase sternal calcium deposition in ovariectomized rats. However, 10 µg/kg 17β-estradiol supplementation restored the action of prolactin. Ovariectomized rats given 17β-estradiol plus prolactin also manifested slightly but significantly higher sternal total calcium content than sham-operated rats, (4.58 ± 0.12 vs. 4.36 ± 0.11 mmol Ca·(g dry mass)–1 (p < 0.05)). We concluded that a high physiological dose of prolactin promoted calcium deposition in primarily trabecular sites of nonlactating rats. This effect was diminished after ovariectomy. In addition, we showed that basal endogenous prolactin played a role in the maintenance of normal trabecular-bone turnover.

The present study examined the dose-dependent effect of vitamin E in reversing bone loss in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were either Sham-operated (Sham) or Ovx and fed control diet for 120 days to lose bone. Subsequently, rats were divided into 5 groups (n=12/group): Sham, Ovx-control, low dose (Ovx + 300 mg/kg diet; LD), medium dose (Ovx + 525 mg/kg diet; MD), and high dose (Ovx + 750 mg/kg diet; HD) of vitamin E and sacrificed after 100 days. Animals receiving MD and HD of vitamin E had increased serum alkaline phosphatase compared to the Ovx-control group. Bone histomorphometry analysis indicated a decrease in bone resorption as well as increased bone formation and mineralization in the Ovx groups supplemented with MD and HD of vitamin E. Microcomputed tomography findings indicated no effects of vitamin E on trabecular bone of fifth lumbar vertebrae. Animals receiving HD of vitamin E had enhanced fourth lumbar vertebra quality as evidenced by improved ultimate and yield load and stress when compared to Ovx-control group. These findings demonstrate that vitamin E improves bone quality, attenuates bone resorption, and enhances the rate of bone formation while being unable to restore bone density and trabecular bone structure.

The effects of pregnancy and lactation on endosteal bone formation and resorption were evaluated in vitamin D-depleted (-D) and vitamin D-repleted (+D) rats. Pregnancy induced a marked stimulation of osteoclastic bone resorption and of static and dynamic parameters of bone formation and mineralization. Bone resorption increased independently of vitamin D status and did not correlate with plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D] levels, but it was associated with increased plasma immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentrations. Stimulation of the endosteal bone formation rate was mainly impaired in D-depleted rats, resulting in trabecular bone loss, which, in -D mother rats, was associated with decreased bone ash and total bone calcium. Lactation further stimulated bone resorption and reduced the trabecular bone volume; ash weight and bone calcium content were also decreased independently of the vitamin D status and changes in plasma iPTH levels. In presence of vitamin D, the bone formation rate increased fourfold during lactation but was unchanged in -D lactating rats. During lactation, vitamin D-depleted rats lost twofold more calcified bone than +D rats because of impaired mineralization. Thus, the present study shows that both the endosteal bone resorption and formation are stimulated by pregnancy and lactation and that vitamin D is required for normal bone mineralization during the reproductive period.

ABSTRACT The runt family transcription factor core-binding factor α1 (Cbfa1) is essential for bone formation during development. Surprisingly, transgenic mice overexpressing Cbfa1 under the control of the 2.3-kb collagen type I promoter developed severe osteopenia that increased progressively with age and presented multiple fractures. Analysis of skeletally mature transgenic mice showed that osteoblast maturation was affected and that specifically in cortical bone, bone resorption as well as bone formation was increased, inducing high bone turnover rates and a decreased degree of mineralization. To understand the origin of the increased bone resorption, we developed bone marrow stromal cell cultures and reciprocal coculture of primary osteoblasts and spleen cells from wild-type or transgenic mice. We showed that transgenic cells of the osteoblastic lineage induced an increased number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells, suggesting that primary osteoblasts as well as bone marrow stromal cells from transgenic mice have stronger osteoclastogenic properties than cells derived from wild-type animals. We investigated the candidate genes whose altered expression could trigger this increase in bone resorption, and we found that the expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and collagenase 3, two factors involved in bone formation-resorption coupling, was markedly increased in transgenic cells. Our data thus suggest that overexpression of Cbfa1 in cells of the osteoblastic lineage does not necessarily induce a substantial increase in bone formation in the adult skeleton but has a positive effect on osteoclast differentiation in vitro and can also dramatically enhance bone resorption in vivo, possibly through increased RANKL expression.

WNT signaling is involved in the tumorigenesis of various cancers and regulates bone homeostasis. Palmitoleoylation of WNTs by Porcupine is required for WNT activity. Porcupine inhibitors are under development for cancer therapy. As the possible side effects of Porcupine inhibitors on bone health are unknown, we determined their effects on bone mass and strength. Twelve-week-old C57BL/6N female mice were treated by the Porcupine inhibitors LGK974 (low dose = 3 mg/kg/day; high dose = 6 mg/kg/day) or Wnt-C59 (10 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 3 weeks. Bone parameters were assessed by serum biomarkers, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, µCT and histomorphometry. Bone strength was measured by the 3-point bending test. The Porcupine inhibitors were well tolerated demonstrated by normal body weight. Both doses of LGK974 and Wnt-C59 reduced total body bone mineral density compared with vehicle treatment (P < 0.001). Cortical thickness of the femur shaft (P < 0.001) and trabecular bone volume fraction in the vertebral body (P < 0.001) were reduced by treatment with LGK974 or Wnt-C59. Porcupine inhibition reduced bone strength in the tibia (P < 0.05). The cortical bone loss was the result of impaired periosteal bone formation and increased endocortical bone resorption and the trabecular bone loss was caused by reduced trabecular bone formation and increased bone resorption. Porcupine inhibitors exert deleterious effects on bone mass and strength caused by a combination of reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption. We suggest that cancer targeted therapies using Porcupine inhibitors may increase the risk of fractures.
