Bone marrow adipose tissue and bone turnover in postmenopausal osteoporotic women and the effects of raloxifene

Beekman Kerensa , den Heijer Martin , Maas Mario , Bisschop Peter , Bravenboer Nathalie

Background: In postmenopausal osteoporosis, a loss of bone volume due to increased bone turnover is accompanied by a higher volume of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). If this static relationship is based on a functional relationship, BMAT is a potential target for treating osteoporosis. While it is known that estrogen can reduce BMAT, it is still unknown whether raloxifene – a selective estrogen receptor modulator – can also reduce BMAT.Objec...

Tissue healing/reconstruction as well as exacerbated inflammatory diseases may benefit from stem cell based therapies. Ex vivo isolated tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) displaying multi-potent activity and immune-regulatory functions were long ago proposed as therapeutic cells and already tested in many clinical assays. Nevertheless, their use may be restricted because of the few number that can be recovered from adult tissues, their limited in vitro e...

Context: An increase in bone marrow adiposity (BMA) is usually described in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients and in calorie restriction models. This induced BMA could be involved in the development of the osteoporosis often described in AN. However, BMA increase is not always observed and could be depending on the severity of the deficit.We previously developed the separation-based anorexia mouse model (SBA)1 (Ethical approval CEEA #022012).
