Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of surface modification of titanium on OPG/RANKL mRNA expression in human osteoblast-like cells.
Methods: MG-63 osteoblast-like cells were seeded on the titanium plates with surface polishing and with surface modification by sandblasting plus acid-base treatment, with the cells on glass slides as the control. On days 2, 4, 6, and 8 following cell seeding, the cells were harvested for examination of OPG/RANKL mRNA expression using RT-PCR and real-time PCR.
Results: The expression of OPG/RANKL mRNA was sensitive to the surface microphotography. Compared with the other groups, the cells on the titanium plates with sandblasting plus acid-base treatment, which resulted in a porous micro-structure and high roughness, showed significantly up-regulated expression of OPG mRNA. OPG mRNA expression also showed a time-dependent up-regulation, and was the highest on day 8. The expression of the RANKL mRNA in cells on both of the titanium plates was higher than that in the control cells. The peak level of RANKL mRNA expression occurred on day 6 followed by a gradual decrease.
Conclusion: A rough and porous surface of the culture plates and prolonged culture time can synergistically up-regulate the ratio of OPG/RANKL mRNA.

Background: Osteoporosis is a condition in where bones gradually become thin and weak, making them more susceptible to fractures. Columbianadin has showed potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect. In this experimental study, anti-osteoporosis effect of Columbianadin against glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis in rats.

Tympanosclerosis (TS) has become a common pathological condition of the middle ear, but the underlying mechanism of it is still ambiguous. It was found that osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (OPG/RANKL) axis played an important role in the development of TS and was regulated by the extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2-mitogen activated protein kinase (ERK1/2-MAPK) pathway. However, whether ERK1/2-MAPK pathway mediates the occurrence of TS by regulating OPG/RANKL axis has not been reported.

Type 2 diabetes and weight loss are associated with detrimental skeletal health. Incretin-based therapies (GLP-1 receptor agonists, and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists) are used clinically to treat diabetes and obesity. The potential effects of semaglutide and tirzepatide on bone metabolism in type 2 diabetic mice remain uncertain.
