Recently diabetes has been found to be associated with metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis. In the present study, attempts have been made-to explore the effect of high glucose in bone formation. Osteoblast-like UMR 106 cells were treated with high glucose (22mM, 33mM, 44mM) for 1 or 2 days. High glucose significantly inhibited proliferation of UMR106 cells in a time- and dose- dependent manner as evidenced by MTT assay. For the evaluation of collagen synthesis, UMR 106 cells were cultured in high glucose media (44mM) for 24 h and the ratio of collagen content to total protein was measured. In addition, gene expression pattern of type I collagen was assessed by RT-PCR. The high concentration of glucose inhibited a collagen synthesis, a marker of bone formation activity. JNK, c- Jun N-terminal Kinase, is known to play an important role in stress-associated cell death. In this regard, we tested to determine whether high glucose has any effect on JNK activity. It has been found that treatment of high glucose induced phosphorylation of JNK. On the other hand, ERK phosphorylation was inhibited by high glucose in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, Therefore these results indicate that inhibition of proliferation in UMR 106 cells following high glucose is related to JNK/ERK containing signal pathways. This study showed high glucose concentration could alter the bone metabolism leading to defective bone formation, suggesting that high glucose due to diabetes may playa significant role in the development of metabolic bone disease.

Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease and is characterized by diminished bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. We investigated the effects of the extract from Acyranthes Radix on the progress of bone loss in ovariectomized rats for 6 weeks. Female Sprague-Dawley 40 rats of 3-4 weeks, weight 200 ${\pm}$ 10g were divided into two groups including the sham operation group(8 rats) and ovariectomy group(32 rats). The dose-dependent effect of Acyranthes Radix extract on bone mineral density and biochemical testing was assessed in ovariectomized rat. Body weights were increased in all groups was higher in experimental group than sham operation group. The level of bone mineral density, GPT, and serum P concentration, ALP were increased experimental group, but a little increase in sham operation group at same period. This longitudinal study result made conclusion that Acyranthes Radix extract treatment appeared to improve the osteoporosis delaying the progression to the osteoporotic process in rats.

Bone destruction is a pathological symptom of some chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. Inflammation-induced bone loss of these diseases results from increased number and activity of osteoclasts. Paeoniae Radix Alba has been used in korean traditional medicine to treat disease including inflammation, gynecopathy and various pain. However, these effects have not been tested on osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells that regulate bone metabolism. Here, we investigated the effects of Paeoniae Radix Alba ethanol extract (PRAE) on receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation and formation. Osteoclast differentiation and formation were measured by tartrate resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP) staining and TRAP solution assay. The treatment of PRAE on bone marrow derived macrophages (BMMs), which is known as osteoclast precursor cells, inhibited osteoclast differentiation and formation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the expression of osteoclast differentiation marker genes was suppressed by PRAE treatment. This inhibitory effect of PRAE resulted from significant repression of c-Fos expression, and subsequent reduction of NFATc1 expression which was previously reported as a master transcription factor for osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo. These results demonstrate that PRAE negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation and formation and suggest that PRAE can be used as a potent preventive or therapeutic candidate for various bone diseases, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis, periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis.

We conducted this study to examine the effects of safflower seed granular tea containing physiologically active polyphenols on antioxidative activities and bone metabolism. Forty postmenopausal women ages 49 to 64-years were recruited from Daegu and Gyeongbuk and were randomly assigned to either a safflower tea supplement (Saf-tea) group (n=27) or a placebo group (n=13). The Saf-tea group received 20 g of safflower seed granule tea per day containing a 13% ethanol extract of defatted safflower seeds, whereas the placebo group received a similar type of tea that lacked the ethanol extract. No significant changes in nutrient intake for either the placebo or Saf-tea groups were observed before or after the study period, except vitamin A intake increased after 6 months in the Saf-tea group. Dietary phytoestrogen intakes were similar in the Saf-tea group (60.3 mg) and placebo group (52.5 mg). Significant increases in plasma genistein and enterolactone were observed in the Saf-tea group. After 6 months of supplementation, serum levels of antioxidant vitamins such as a-tocopherol and ascorbic acid increased significantly, and TBARS levels decreased in the Saf-tea group compared to the placebo group. Serum osteocalcin levels were reduced (P<0.05) in the Saf-tea group after 6 months, whereas serum osteocalcin did not change in the placebo group. Urinary deoxypyridinoline/creatinine excretion was not different between the two groups at baseline, and did not change in either group after 6 months. Bone mineral density decreased significantly in the placebo group (P<0.01) but not in the supplemented group. It was concluded that polyphenols (72 mg/day), including serotonin derivatives, in the Saf-tea had both antioxidant and potential bone protecting effects in postmenopausal women without liver toxicity.

Previous studies have suggested that rice bran oil (RBO), an edible oil from the byproducts of rice milling, has anti-inflammatory effects in inflammation inducing macrophages, known as M1 subsets. Yet the effects of RBO on the counterpart M2 subsets, the "healing" macrophages, were poorly investigated to date. In this regard, recent studies on the molecular/cellular anti-inflammatory mechanisms of dietary components have demonstrated that mitochondrial respiration contributes to macrophage functioning. Therefore, the current study examined whether RBO regulates cytokine secretion by modulating mitochondrial metabolism in wound healing M2 subsets. Palm oil (PO), enriched with medium-chain fatty acids, served as a positive control. C57BL/6 mice were fed a diet containing either corn oil (CO), PO or RBO for 4 weeks, followed by purification of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from their tibias and femurs. Cells were further polarized to M2-BMDM, and the expression of M2 marker (CD206) on cellular surfaces were not affected by dietary intervention. In addition, the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) in the culture supernatant was not affected by dietary lipids. Oxygen consumption rate, the indicator of mitochondrial respiration in M2-BMDM was not regulated by RBO intervention and PO treatment. Taken together, this study imply that RBO did not intervene both the regulation of inflammatory responses and mitochondrial respiration in M2 macrophages.

We was confirmed that the antler extract increases the expression of marker genes expressed in the process of bone formation, and that the effect on the increase in the expression of the gene is further increased by fermentation of the antler extract. In addition, the mouse model in which menopausal was induced by ovary extraction significantly reduced the movement distance and exercise time of mice compared to the control group. But the decrease was somewhat alleviated by the administration of the antler extract, and completely restored when the fermented antler extract was administered. In the menopause-induced mice, the body weight ratio of heart, liver, and spleen weights increased compared to the control group, but the antler extract and the antler ferment extract restored the body weight ratio of various organ weights to the level of the control group in the menopause-induced mice. Consequently, this has led to mitigating changes in the metabolism affected by menopause.

The fruit of Chaenomeles sinensis (Thouin) Koehne (Chaenomelis Fructus) known as "Mo-Gua" in Korea has been commonly used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, such as sore throat. However, its effect on bone metabolism has not been elucidated yet. Here, we examined the effect of Chaenomelis Fructus ethanol extract (CF-E) on receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation and formation. CF-E considerably inhibited osteoclast differentiation and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinuclear cell formation from bone marrow-derived macrophages and osteoclast precursor cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the formation of actin rings and resorption pits were significantly suppressed in CF-E-treated osteoclasts as compared with the findings in non-treated control cells. Consistent with these phenotypic inhibitory results, the expressions of osteoclast differentiation marker genes (Acp5, Atp6v0d2, Oscar, CtsK, and Tm7sf4) and Nfatc1, a pivotal transcription factor for osteoclastogenesis, were markedly decreased by CF-E treatment. The inhibitory effect of CF-E on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was associated with the suppression of NFATc1 expression, not by regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-κB activation but by the inactivation of phospholipase C gamma 1 and 2. These results indicate that CF-E has an inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation and formation, and they suggest the possibility of CF-E as a traditional therapeutic agent against bone-resorptive diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis.

Large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels participate in many important physiological functions in excitable tissues such as neurons, cardiac and smooth muscles, whereas the knowledge of BK channels in bone tissues and osteoblasts remains elusive. To investigate the role of BK channels in osteoblasts, we used transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) to establish a BK knockout cell line on rat ROS17/2.8 osteoblast, and detected the proliferation and mineralization of the BK-knockout cells. Our study found that the BKknockout cells significantly decreased the ability of proliferation and mineralization as osteoblasts, compared to the wild type cells. The overall expression of osteoblast differentiation marker genes in the BK-knockout cells was significantly lower than that in wild type osteoblast cells. The BK-knockout osteoblast cell line in our study displays a phenotype decrease in osteoblast function which can mimic the pathological state of osteoblast and thus provide a working cell line as a tool for study of osteoblast function and bone related diseases.

삼상골스캔을 이용한 골 섭취도의 평가는 비교적 간단한 방법으로 이것으로 평가한 만성 신부전환자 14명의 골 섭취도는 정상인 보다 유의하게 증가되어 있었다. 또한 골 모세포의 활동성의 지표로 알려진 osteocalcin과 골 대사 호르몬인 부갑상선 호르몬의 혈중농도도 정상대조군에 비하여 만성 신부전 환자에서 월등하게 높았다. 하지만 이렇게 산출한 골 섭취도와 osteocalcin, 부갑상선 호르몬 사이에는 직접적인 연관성은 미약하였다. 따라서 삼상골스캔을 이용한 골 섭취도의 정량화가 보다 객관적인 평가 방법이라고 인정받기 위하여서는 좀 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 본다.

본 연구는 채식을 하는 폐경 후 여성의 단백질 영양상태와 골밀도 및 골대사의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 연령, 체질량지수 등의 요인이 차이가 없도록 채식군 38명, 일반식군 38명 총 76명의 대상자를 선정하고 영양소 섭취량, 골밀도, 골대사관련 지표를 분석하였다. 채식군과 일반식군의 평균 연령은 각각 60.7세와 60.5세였으며, 두 군간의 연령, 체중과 체질량지수는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 영양소섭취상태 분석결과 열량 섭취량은 채식군이 1518.4㎉(권장량의 82.7%)로 일반식군 1355.4 ㎉(72.6%)보다 높았다. 1일 평균 단백질의 섭취량은 채식군 52.6 g(권장량의 95.6%)과 일반식군 51.8 g(권장량의 94.2%)으로 유사한 수준이었으나, 이중 동물성 단백질의 섭취비율은 채식군이 15.3%, 일반식군이 34.9%로 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p＜0.001). 칼슘의 섭취량은 채식군이 492.6 mg(권장량의 70.3%), 일반식군이 436.5 mg(권장량의 62.3%)으로 두 군 모두 낮은 섭취수준을 보였다. 혈액성상 분석 결과 총 단백질의 함량은 두 군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 혈청 알부민은 채식군이 일반식군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다(p＜0.001). 요추와 대퇴경부의 평균 골밀도는 두군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 골대사 지표인 소변 중 디옥시피리디놀린(DPD) 함량은 채식군이 6.7 nM/mM Cr, 일반식군이 6.9 nM/mM Cr로 군간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 소변의 pH는 채식군 6.60, 일반식군 6.23으로 일반식군의 소변의 산도가 유의적으로 높았다(p＜0.05). 단백질 영양상태와 골밀도 및 골대사지표와의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 연령과 체질량지수 보정 후 채식군의 소변 디옥시피리디놀린 배설량은 단백질(p＜0.05), 식물성 단백질(p＜0.05)의 섭취량과 유의적인 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 일반군의 경우 혈청 총 단백질(p＜0.05)과 알부민 함량(p＜0.05)은 소변중 디옥시피리디놀린 배설량과 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 채식을 하는 폐경 후 여성은 단백질의 섭취량 및 혈청 함량이 정상 수준으로 나타났으며, 칼슘의 섭취량은 일반 폐경 후 여성에서와 같이 권장량의 70%수준의 낮은 섭취상태를 보여 채식인의 경우도 칼슘의 섭취부족이 영양상의 문제점으로 나타났다. 골밀도와 골대사 지표 측정결과 채식군과 일반식군 간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않아 채식이 골대사에 미치는 직접적인 영향을 확인할 수 없었다. 그러나 채식인의 경우 총 단백질 및 식물성 단백질의 섭취량이 골용해를 감소시키는 것으로 나타나 일반식군에서보다 채식군에서 적절한 단백질의 섭취가 골격 건강 유지에 중요한 인자로 제시 되었다. 따라서 채식을 하는 폐경 후 여성의 경우 골격건강을 위하여 단백질의 급원이 되는 식품의 섭취에 더욱 관심이 필요한 것으로 보여 진다. 그러나 본 연구의 경우 대상자의 수가 적은 제한점이 있기 때문에 보다 많은 연구가 계속적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
