Article Abstract

Inhibition of LSD1 was proposed as promising and attractive therapies for treating osteoporosis. Here, we synthesized a series of novel TCP-(MP)-Caffeic acid analogs as potential LSD1 inhibitors to assess their inhibitory effects on osteoclastogenesis by using TRAP-staining assay and try to explore the preliminary SAR. Among them, TCP-MP-CA (11a) demonstrated osteoclastic bone loss both in vitro and in vivo, showing a significant improvement in the in vivo effects compared to the LSD1 inhibitor GSK-LSD1. Additionally, we elucidated a mechanism that 11a and its precursor that 11e directly bind to LSD1/CoREST complex through FAD to inhibit LSD1 demethylation activity and influence its downstream IκB/NF-κB signaling pathway, and thus regulate osteoclastic bone loss. These findings suggested 11a or 11e as potential novel candidates for treating osteoclastic bone loss, and a concept for further development of TCP-(MP)-Caffeic acid analogs for therapeutic use in osteoporosis clinics.

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation critically impair diabetic bone defect repair. Here, a radially oriented microchannel scaffold (D-GSH@QZ) was developed via a directional freezing technique integrated with photo-cross-linking strategies. The scaffold was fabricated from gelatin methacryloyl, silk fibroin methacryloyl, and nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) to mimic the natural bone matrix, while incorporating quercetin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (Qu@ZIF-8) for pathological microenvironment modulation.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common bone metabolic disorder in middle-aged and elderly women, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study investigates the effect of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) deficiency on bone homeostasis to provide insight into the mechanisms underlying PMOP. Sixteen female SD rats were randomly assigned to Sham and ovariectomized (OVX) groups.

Impaired clinical fracture healing remains a major challenge, with surgical treatment often insufficient in patients with metabolic disorders or comorbidities such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Recent advances in metabolomics have brought the Sirtuin protein family to the forefront of bone regeneration research. These NAD⁺-dependent deacetylases exhibit cell-specific expression and regulate critical processes in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, linking glucose metabolism with bone remodeling.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) relevant to osteoporosis have identified hundreds of loci; however, understanding how these variants influence the phenotype is complicated because most reside in non-coding DNA sequence that serves as transcriptional enhancers and repressors. To advance knowledge on these regulatory elements in osteoclasts (OCs), we performed Micro-C analysis, which informs on the genome topology of these cells and integrated the results with transcriptome and GWAS data to further define loci linked to BMD. Using blood cells isolated from 4 healthy participants aged 31-61 yr, we cultured OC in vitro and generated a Micro-C chromatin conformation capture dataset.

Lycii fructus (LF) is widely used in traditional Asian medicine and as a dietary supplement due to its potential health benefits. Zeaxanthin (ZEA), a key carotenoid in LF, is crucial in supporting eye health. However, the effects of LF and ZEA on receptor activator of NF-kappaB Ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation were not confirmed.
