Natural history and prognostic factors of fibrous dysplasia of bone in a modern cohort of 372 patients. The Francedys Study

Benhamou Johanna , Gensburger Deborah , Messiaen Claude , Chapurlat Roland

Fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is a rare inherited but sporadic bone disease that can be responsible for bone pain, fracture and bone deformity. The prognosis may be difficult to establish because of the wide spectrum of disease severity, with patients benign forms of the disease and some others who are severely affected.We have analyzed the data from the French National reference center for FD. We have established a database from electronic medical reco...

Pathophysiological calcification in the vasculature favours cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. In patients with chronic kidney disease vitamin K metabolites are associated with decreased vascular calcification.We investigated the expression of vitamin K dependent proteins (VKDPs) in vessels and bone to identify differences in expression pattern during atherosclerosis (AS) stages and compare the two tissue profiles.Gene expressio...

Differing mechanisms of mineralisation in vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts

Patel Jessal , Zhu Dongxing , Wheeler-Jones Caroline , Arnett Timothy , MacRae Vicky , Orriss Isabel

Vascular calcification (VC) involves hydroxyapatite deposition in the arteries and cardiac muscle. VC is thought to share some outward similarities to skeletal mineralisation and has been associated with the transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to an osteoblast-like phenotype. We have previously shown that ATP, UTP and synthetic ATP-analogues (α, β-meATP, β, γ-meATP, Bz-ATP) (≥1 μM) act to potently inhibit both bone minera...

Cabral Wayne , Fratzl-Zelman Nadja , Blouin Stephane , Roschger Paul , Klaushofer Klaus , Marini Joan

Deficiency of Cyclophilin B (CyPB) causes recessively inherited Type IX osteogenesis imperfecta, a moderately severe to lethal bone dysplasia. CyPB, encoded by PPIB, is an ER-resident peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in collagen folding, and also functions as a component of the collagen prolyl 3-hydroxylation complex. We previously demonstrated in a Ppib−/− mouse model that CyPB PPIase activity r...

Mice lacking periostin are resistant to bone microstructural alterations during lactation

Bonnet Nicolas , Brun Julia , Ferrari Serge

Periostin is a matricellular protein expressed in late osteoblasts/osteocytes, which levels increase in response to PTH and mechanical loading. In turn periostin contributes to modeling based bone formation while restraining bone remodeling. Periostin is also a substrate of cathepsin K and inhibition of periostin blunts the effects of cathepsin K inhibition on bone. Considering the important role of osteocytes and their cathepsin K expression on osteolysis during lactation, we...

Osteoclast-poor RANKL-dependent autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a rare bone disease characterized by an increase in bone density due to the failure of bone resorption by impaired osteoclast formation.

Osteoclasts are myeloid-derived cells that degrade bone through the localized production of acid and proteases. The catabolic action of osteoclasts is counterbalanced by formation of new matrix by osteoblasts. In mammals, bone resorption and formation are coupled through crosstalk between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Zebrafish are emerging as a valuable model to study bone biology, but how closely zebrafish osteoclast function parallels that of higher vertebrates is unknown. T...

Introduction: Age-related bone diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP), are strongly associated with sarcopenia and muscle fiber atrophy. Potential mechanisms involved in the reduction of skeletal muscle mass during sarcopenia converge on the failure of satellite cells in replacing and repairing damaged muscle fibers.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare debilitating genetic disease characterized by abnormal progressive heterotopic endochondrial ossification of soft tissues. FOP results from mutations in the intracellular domain of the type I BMP receptor ACVR1 (ALK2) the most common of which is R206H. FOP mutations alter the sensitivity of ACVR1 to Activin A from an antagonist to an agonist. We have previously shown that Activin A is necessary and sufficient for driving he...

Bone histomorphometric alterations and chronic kidney disease in patients with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis

Feola Maurizio , Rao Cecilia , Scimeca Manuel , Buharaja Rodrigo , Scialdoni Alessandro , Tarantino Umberto

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two elderly conditions characterized by two different pathophysiological mechanisms. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a metabolic impairment of the muscular-skeletal tissue. The aim of our study is to evaluate the biochemical and morphostructural alterations in different states of CKD in patients with osteoarthritis or hip fracture.We evaluated all patients undergoing hip replacement surgery from...

Disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis according to vitamin D status

Balatska Nataliya , Synenky Omelyan , Povoroznyuk Vladyslav

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and may be related to disease activity.The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between 25(OH)D level and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Materials and methods: The study included 61 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 73.8% were women, 70.4 patients were younger 60 years old. Subjects suffering from liver and kidne...

Urolithiasis is characterized by formation and retention of solid crystals within the urinary tract. There are numerous causes that may lead to urinary stone formation. However, kidney stones are mostly composed of calcium oxalate that predominantly generates free radicals that are toxic to renal tubular cells.The aim of the study is to explore the toxic effect of oxalate to renal epithelial cells and to explore possible effects of antioxidants on its in...

FGF23 and vitamin D metabolism in chronic kidney disease – mineral bone disorder

Piec Isabelle , Chipchase Allison , Nicholls Holly , Washbourne Christopher , Tang Jonathan , Fraser William D.

Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a major regulator of phosphate metabolism often elevated in genetic hypophosphataemic disorders and in chronic kidney diseasebone mineral disorder (CKDBMD). Recent studies have identified relationships between FGF23 and vitamin D.Objectives: To determine the relationship between vitamin D and FGF23 metabolism in CKD.Method: We used randomized samples from patient...

Dose response radiation induced bone loss: FDG PET-CT shows a threshold effect in changes in metabolism and density

Oz Orhan K , Ramezani Saleh , Cuberovic Ivana , Anderson Jon , Brown Keenan , Medin Paul

Radiosurgery of the spine is used to treat patients with spinal metastases. Recent studies have shown increased fracture risk in patients treated with high doses of irradiation. This study tested if there is a dose response relationship between prescribed radiation and induced bone loss and metabolism.Methods: Vertebral bodies C5C7 of ~50 week old female Yucatan minipigs were irradiated at 16, 20, and 24Gy (n=5/dose). The cervical spine re...
