RESUMO
Autophagy may play an important role in the occurrence and development of glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GC-ONFH). Lithium is a classical autophagy regulator, and lithium can also activate osteogenic pathways, making it a highly promising therapeutic agent for GC-ONFH. We aimed to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of lithium on GC-ONFH. For in vitro experiments, primary osteoblasts of rats were used for investigating the underlying mechanism of lithium's protective effect on GC-induced autophagy levels and osteogenic activity dysfunction. For in vivo experiments, a rat model of GC-ONFH was used for evaluating the therapeutic effect of oral lithium on GC-ONFH and underlying mechanism. Findings demonstrated that GC over-activated the autophagy of osteoblasts and reduced their osteogenic activity. Lithium reduced the over-activated autophagy of GC-treated osteoblasts through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway and increased their osteogenic activity. Oral lithium reduced the osteonecrosis rates in a rat model of GC-ONFH, and restrained the increased expression of autophagy related proteins in bone tissues through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. In conclusion, lithium can restrain over-activated autophagy by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway and up-regulate the expression of genes for bone formation both in GC induced osteoblasts and in a rat model of GC-ONFH. Lithium may be a promising therapeutic agent for GC-ONFH. However, the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of GC-ONFH remains controversial. Studies are still needed to further explore the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of GC-ONFH, and the efficacy of lithium in the treatment of GC-ONFH and its underlying mechanisms.

Inflammatory reactions are involved in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH). Studies have explored the therapeutic efficacy of inhibiting inflammatory reactions in steroid-induced ONFH and revealed that inhibiting inflammation may be a new strategy for preventing the development of steroid-induced ONFH. Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages(M2-Exos) display anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to examine the preventive effect of M2-Exos on early-stage steroid-induced ONFH and explore the underlying mechanisms involved. In vitro, we explored the effect of M2-Exos on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs). In vivo, we investigated the role of M2-Exos on inflammation, osteoclastogenesis, osteogenesis and angiogenesis in an early-stage rat model of steroid-induced ONFH. We found that M2-Exos promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Additionally, M2-Exos effectively attenuated the osteonecrotic changes, inhibited the expression of proinflammatory mediators, promoted osteogenesis and angiogenesis, reduced osteoclastogenesis, and regulated the polarization of M1/M2 macrophages in steroid-induced ONFH. Taken together, our data suggest that M2-Exos are effective at preventing steroid-induced ONFH. These findings may be helpful for providing a potential strategy to prevent the development of steroid-induced ONFH.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to investigate oral health status, oral health related quality of life, and identify risk factors associated with invasive dental treatment and medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with multiple myeloma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma (n = 144) referred between January 2015 and September 2022 were retrospectively included. The patients underwent a thorough clinical and radiological oral examination and odontogenic infections were treated before the start of bisphosphonate treatment. The patients were followed annually, including clinical and radiological examinations. The oral health related quality of life was investigated by the OHIP-14 questionnaire. RESULTS: Dental treatment (RR = 7.75), receiving combination antineoplastic therapy≥3 (RR =4.13), periodontitis (RR = 4.21), and reduced number of teeth (RR = 2.87) were associated with an increased risk of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw. The response rate of the OHIP-14 questionnaire was 70.2%. Oral pain or discomfort in the mouth related to the medical treatment was reported by 30.5%. CONCLUSION: Dental screening and treatment planning in patients with Multiple Myeloma may result in fewer oral infections and fewer interruptions of the medical treatment of myeloma.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating condition characterized by subchondral bone necrosis, which frequently culminates in joint destruction. Although total hip arthroplasty is conventionally practiced to remediate ONFH, for patients under the age of 60, the outcomes can be suboptimal. Chronic inflammation, particularly that mediated by interleukin-6 (IL-6), has been conjectured to be a potential mechanism underlying the etiology of ONFH. This study aimed at exploring the interplay between IL-6, the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, and ONFH to provide insights for potential therapeutic interventions. Human ONFH specimens depicted an elevation in ß-catenin expression in the transitional layer, while IL-6 levels were pronounced in the same region. Subsequently, mouse models of ischemic osteonecrosis were treated with an anti-sclerostin antibody to assess its effects on bone metabolism and cellular processes. Histological analysis revealed that the administration of anti-sclerostin antibodies effectuated early recovery from bone necrosis, reduced empty lacunae, and suppressed IL-6 expression. The treatment evidently initiated the activation of the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway, presenting a potential mechanism associated with IL-6-mediated inflammation. Furthermore, the antibody upregulated osteoblast formation, downregulated osteoclast formation, and increased bone volume. Micro-CT imaging demonstrated increased bone volume, prevented epiphyseal deformity, and improved compression strength. Therefore, this study yields significant findings, indicating the potency of anti-sclerostin antibodies in effectively modulating the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway, associating with IL-6 expression, and preventing post-ONFH bone collapse. Additionally, this preclinical investigation in mouse models offers an avenue for prospective research on potential therapeutic interventions against human ONFH.

CONTEXT: Cyasterone alleviated the apoptosis of BMSCs induced by Dexamethasone via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. In addition, Cyasterone had a protective effect on SIONFH model rats by reducing the percentage of empty bone lacunae. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Cyasterone on apoptosis of rat BMSCs and its function on the SIONFH rat model. METHODS: Rat BMSCs were cultured and divided into Control, DXM and Cyasterone (DXM+Cyasterone) groups. The apoptosis of each group was detected by flow cytometry, the expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were detected by immunofluorescence staining, and the mRNA and protein expressions of AKT, BAX, P53, P85, Bcl-2 and Cytochrome C were detected by qPCR and WB. In animal experiments, the femoral head of rats were subjected to HE staining and Micro-CT to observe the necrosis and repair conditions. RESULTS: The apoptosis rate of DXM and Cyasterone groups increased compared with Control group, and the apoptosis rate of Cyasterone group decreased compared with DXM group. Compared with DXM group, the mRNA expression of BAX, P53, P85 and Cytochrome C in Cyasterone group were increased, while the protein expression of AKT and Bcl-2 decreased. The histopathological and morphological analysis showed that Cyasterone promoted the trabecular bone structure in rat, which evenly benefit for the repair of SIONFH. CONCLUSION: Cyasterone can reduce the apoptosis of rat BMSCs induced by Dexamethasone, and help promoting the bone repair in SIONFH rats.

This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of teriparatide (TPD) administration on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) before tooth extraction due to periodontal lesions in bilaterally ovariectomized female rats treated with zoledronic acid. Thirty skeletally mature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control (CONT, n = 10), zoledronic acid (ZA, n = 10), and zoledronic acid and teriparatide (ZA-TPD, n = 10). The rats were sacrificed 8 weeks after tooth extraction. Micro-computed tomography analysis of the tibia showed that bone mineral density was highest in the CONT, followed by that in the ZA and ZA-TPD groups (CONT/ZA, p = 0.009; CONT/ZA-TPD, p < 0.001; ZA/ZA-TPD, p < 0.001). In the trabecular bone analysis of the extraction site, significant differences in specific bone surface (CONT/ZA, p = 0.010; CONT/ZA-TPD, p = 0.007; ZA/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002) and trabecular thickness (CONT/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002; ZA/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002) were observed. Histological analyses of the extraction sites revealed characteristic MRONJ lesions in the ZA group. Osteonecrosis, inflammatory cells, and sequestrum were less frequently observed in the ZA-TPD group than in the ZA group. In conclusion, TPD administration before tooth extraction helped reduce the occurrence of MRONJ in rats treated with zoledronic acid, confirming its preventative effects.

The excessive steroid may cause dyslipidaemia and oxidative insult during femoral head osteonecrosis, inducing bone loss and impairment of the intraosseous blood system. In contrast, bio-flavanone naringin has shown antioxidant, antiresorptive and lipid-lowering bioactivities. The present research is an effort to explore the anti-ON potential of naringin in vivo and in vitro. After a 6-week treatment, the femora were dissected for histological examination following bone mineral density assay by X-ray absorptiometry. Blood samples were examined for coagulation, oxidative stress, lipid transportation and endothelial injury. Marrow samples were cultured and assayed for adipogenic and osteogenic alterations by ALP activity, mineralization, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The results showed that naringin exerted a dose-dependent effect on reducing ON incidence, with inhibition of osteoporosis, oxidative stress and dyslipidaemia. The mechanism included the suppression of PPARγ2 for adipogenesis of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and the prevention of oxidative stress in endothelium injury. Naringin may restore steroid-impaired osteogenesis by enhancing the mRNA and protein expression of osteogenic markers in a dose-ascending manner and new bone formation can be found in naringin groups. Taken together, our findings showed that naringin may serve as a prophylactic agent and selective PPARγ modulator for the early-stage ON.

Currently Kienböck's disease remains an 'unsolved' problem in hand surgery. Different factors have been associated with the avascular necrosis of the lunate. Mechanical, vascular and biological factors, alone or in combination, may have an influence in the aetiopathogenesis and determine the progress of the disease and even the results of the treatment. This is especially relevant in the early stages, in which conservative or surgical treatment may modify the natural history of the disease, maintaining the lunate structure and thus preserving the joint surfaces. There are multiple surgical treatments for Kienböck's disease in the early stages, before lunate collapse; each one is based on one of the possible factors that can cause avascular necrosis of the lunate. The objective is not only to treat symptoms but to prevent progression. This article is a review of the most frequent treatments used in the early stages and a personal view of the authors.Level of evidence: V.

Objective: To explore the effect of Kaempferol on bone microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) in glucocorticoid induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) in vitro. Methods: BMECs were isolated from cancellous bone of femoral head or femoral neck donated voluntarily by patients with femoral neck fracture. BMECs were identified by von Willebrand factor and CD31 immunofluorescence staining and tube formation assay. The cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay was used to screen the optimal concentration and the time point of dexamethasone (Dex) to inhibit the cell activity and the optimal concentration of Kaempferol to improve the inhibition of Dex. Then the BMECs were divided into 4 groups, namely, the cell group (group A), the cells treated with optimal concentration of Dex group (group B), the cells treated with optimal concentration of Dex+1 µmol/L Kaempferol group (group C), and the cells treated with optimal concentration of Dex+5 µmol/L Kaempferol group (group D). EdU assay, in vitro tube formation assay, TUNEL staining assay, Annexin â ¤/propidium iodide (PI) staining assay, Transwell migration assay, scratch healing assay, and Western blot assay were used to detect the effect of Kaempferol on the proliferation, tube formation, apoptosis, migration, and protein expression of BMECs treated with Dex. Results: The cultured cells were identified as BMECs. CCK-8 assay showed that the optimal concentration and the time point of Dex to inhibit cell activity was 300 µmol/L for 24 hours, and the optimal concentration of Kaempferol to improve the inhibitory activity of Dex was 1 µmol/L. EdU and tube formation assays showed that the cell proliferation rate, tube length, and number of branch points were significantly lower in groups B-D than in group A, and in groups B and D than in group C ( P<0.05). TUNEL and Annexin V/PI staining assays showed that the rates of TUNEL positive cells and apoptotic cells were significantly higher in groups B-D than in group A, and in groups B and D than in group C ( P<0.05). Scratch healing assay and Transwell migration assay showed that the scratch healing rate and the number of migration cells were significantly lower in groups B-D than in group A, and in groups B and D than in group C ( P<0.05). Western blot assay demonstrated that the relative expressions of Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax proteins were significantly higher in groups B-D than in group A, and in groups B and D than in group C ( P<0.05); the relative expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 2, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1, VEGFA, and Bcl2 proteins were significantly lower in groups B-D than in group A, and in groups B and D than in group C ( P<0.05). Conclusion: Kaempferol can alleviate the damage and dysfunction of BMECs in GIONFH.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates are mainly used in the treatment of osteoporosis and in oncology. They bind to bone and inhibit the action of osteoclasts, leading to a decrease in bone remodeling and thus hindering tooth movement. The main objective was to present, through a review of the literature, the indications and therapeutic modalities for orthodontic treatment of patients who are or have been treated with bisphosphonates. The second objective was to propose a decisional organization chart for medical care. Materials and Methods: The search was done by keywords on PubMed. Results: 189 articles were found, mostly case reports. 1) Intravenous treatment is a contraindication to ODF treatment. 2) Per os treatment is possible with precautions: to be in accordance with the prescribing practitioner, avoid major travels, avoid surgical procedures (extractions...) which must be as atraumatic as possible. A delay in healing is to be expected. The benefit-risk ratio must be taken into account. The risks - the patient must be informed of them - are slowed movement and osteonecrosis. Clinical and radiological follow-up is necessary and may warrant re-evaluation of treatment at any time: excessive tooth mobility, molar furcation damage, unusually persistent periodontal pain and symptoms, fistulas, exposed areas of necrotic bone. Discussion: The articles are of low grade. Most of the articles are studies made on animals. Conclusion: Research is ongoing to evaluate the value of bisphosphonates as anchorage reinforcement.
Introduction: Indiqués essentiellement dans le traitement de l'ostéoporose et en oncologie, les bisphosphonates se lient à l'os et inhibent l'action des ostéoclastes, entraînent une diminution du remodelage osseux et inhibent donc le déplacement dentaire. L'objectif principal de cet article était de présenter, via une revue de littérature, les indications et les modalités thérapeutiques orthodontiques pour les patients sous ou ayant été sous bisphosphonates. L'objectif secondaire était de proposer un organigramme décisionnel de prise en charge. Matériels et méthodes: La recherche a été faite par mots-clés sur PubMed. Résultats: Au total, 189 articles ont été trouvés, majoritairement des rapports de cas. On peut en déduire : 1) Un traitement par voie intraveineuse en cours est une contre-indication au traitement ODF. 2) En per os, le traitement est possible avec des précautions : se mettre d'accord avec le médecin prescripteur, éviter les gros déplacements, éviter les gestes chirurgicaux (avulsions ) qui doivent être le plus atraumatiques possibles. Un retard de cicatrisation est à prévoir. Le rapport bénéfice/risque doit être pesé. Les risques dont le patient doit être informé sont le ralentissement de déplacement et l'ostéonécrose. Un suivi clinique et radiologique est nécessaire et peut justifier à tout moment une réévaluation du traitement : mobilité excessive des dents, atteinte de la furcation des molaires, douleurs et symptômes parodontaux inhabituellement persistants, fistules, zones exposées d'os nécrotique. Discussion: Les articles sont de faible grade. La majorité des articles sont des études sur l'animal. Conclusion: Des recherches sont en cours pour évaluer l'intérêt des bisphosphonates en renfort d'ancrage.

Sudden decompression can result in bubble formation as the result of nitrogen gas (N2) dissolved in tissue during disabled submarine escape (DISSUB). This may cause dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON), a condition in long bones where bubbles in fatty marrow result in ischemia and necrosis. Previous research has shown that oxygen (O2) pre-breathe of two hours resulted in a reduction of DON; however, effects of shorter O2 pre-breathe remain uncertain. This study's aim was to understand the effect of shorter lengths of O2 pre-breathe. Eight adult Suffolk ewes (89.5± 11.5 kg) were exposed to 33 feet of seawater (fsw) for 24 hours. They were placed randomly into four groups and exposed to either 45, 30 or 15 minutes of O2 (91-88%) pre-breathe; the controls received none. They were then rapidly decompressed. Alizarin complexone was later injected intravenously to visualize the extent of DON in the right and left long bones (radii, tibiae, femur and humeri). The 30- and 15-minute pre-breathe groups saw the greatest deposition. There was significant decrease of variance in the 45-minute group when compared with all other treatments, suggesting that 45 minutes of O2 pre-breathe is required to effectively increase confidence in the reduction of DON. Similar confidence was not reflected in the 30-minute and 15-minute groups: 45 minutes of pre-breathe was the minimum amount needed to effectively prevent against DON in DISSUB escape at 33 fsw. However, future research is needed to determine how to calculate effective dosages of O2 pre-breathe to prevent DON in any given scenario.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but very serious disease that can affect both jaws. It is defined as exposed bone in the maxillofacial region that does not heal within 8 weeks after a health care provider identification. ONJ can occur spontaneously or can be due to drugs like bisphosphonates (BPS) and anti-RANK agents, in patients with no history of external radiation therapy in the craniofacial region. Although in phase 3 trials of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used in thyroid cancer (TC) the ONJ was not reported among the most common side effects, several papers reported the association between ONJ and TKIs, both when they are used alone and in combination with a bisphosphonate. The appearance of an ONJ in a patient with metastatic radio-iodine refractory differentiated TC, treated with zoledronic acid and sorafenib, has put us in front of an important clinical challenge: when a ONJ occurred during TKIs treatment, it really worsens the patients' quality of life. We should consider that in the case of ONJ a TKI discontinuation becomes necessary, and this could lead to a progression of neoplastic disease. The most important aim of this review is to aware the endocrinologists/oncologists dealing with TC to pay attention to this possible side effect of BPS and TKIs, especially when they are used in association. To significantly reduced the risk of ONJ, both preventive measures before initiating not only antiresorptive therapy but also antiangiogenic agents, and regular dental examinations during the treatment should always be proposed.

BACKGROUND: Osteonecrosis is a devastating side effect of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Associations between bone density loss and osteonecrosis have sparked interest in using bisphosphonates to reduce this complication. PROCEDURE: We assessed the impact of zoledronic acid (ZA) on the development of osteonecrosis in murine models when used either throughout therapy (continuous administration) or late in therapy after vascular lesions have developed but before osteonecrosis has occurred. Effects on bone density were measured using microcomputed tomography (µCT)-assessed tibial cortical thickness, while osteonecrosis was assessed histologically in the distal femur. Effects on antileukemic efficacy of chemotherapy were evaluated in both immunocompetent/syngeneic and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. RESULTS: Continuous administration of ZA with chemotherapy prevented chemotherapy-associated bone loss (p < .001) and reduced osteonecrosis (p = .048). Late initiation of ZA diminished bone loss (p < .001) but had no impact on the development of osteonecrosis (p = .93). In the immunocompetent murine ALL model, mice treated with ZA and chemotherapy succumbed to leukemia sooner than mice treated with chemotherapy alone (p = .046). Analysis using PDX showed a nonsignificant decrease in survival with ZA (p = .17). CONCLUSION: Our data indicate ZA may prevent osteonecrosis if begun with chemotherapy but showed no benefit when administered later in therapy. However, ZA may also reduce the antileukemic efficacy of chemotherapy.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used in treating viral infections, acute spinal cord injury, autoimmune diseases, and shock. Several patients develop GC-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying GC-induced ONFH remain poorly understood. GC-directed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) fate is an important factor that determines GC-induced ONFH. At high concentrations, GCs induce BMSC apoptosis by promoting oxidative stress. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that relieve GC-induced oxidative stress in BMSCs, which would be vital for treating ONFH. The endocannabinoid system regulates oxidative stress in multiple organs. Here, we found that monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), a key molecule in the endocannabinoid system, was significantly upregulated during GC treatment in osteoblasts both in vitro and in vivo. MAGL expression was positively correlated with expression of the NADPH oxidase family and apoptosis-related proteins. Functional analysis showed that MAGL inhibition markedly reduced oxidative stress and partially rescued BMSC apoptosis. Additionally, in vivo studies indicated that MAGL inhibition effectively attenuated GC-induced ONFH. Pathway analysis showed that MAGL inhibition regulated oxidative stress in BMSCs via the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. The expression of Nrf2, a major regulator of intracellular antioxidants, was upregulated by inhibiting MAGL. Nrf2 activation can mimic the effect of MAGL inhibition and significantly reduce GC-induced oxidative damage in BMSCs. The beneficial effects of MAGL inhibition were attenuated after the blockade of the Keap1/Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway. Notably, pharmacological blockade of MAGL conferred femoral head protection in GC-induced ONFH, even after oxidative stress responses were initiated. Therefore, MAGL may represent a novel target for the prevention and treatment of GC-induced ONFH.

BACKGROUND: Locking plate osteosynthesis via an L-shaped lateral approach is the gold standard in treating displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. High complication rates are known for this approach. The most frequent complications are wound edge necrosis and superficial wound infections. To reduce complication rates, a locking intramedullary nail (C-Nail) was developed that can be implanted minimally invasively via a sinus tarsi approach. We compared the postoperative complication rate and the outcome of plate osteosynthesis versus C-Nail in displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. METHODS: All patients with calcaneal fractures who received osteosynthesis with either plate or C-Nail between January 2016 and October 2019 in our institution were retrospectively analyzed. A subgroup analysis was performed with matched pairs (matching Sanders type, age, Böhler's angle postoperative in normal range, 33 pairs). Endpoints were postoperative complication rate, bone healing, full weight-bearing and functional outcome. Treatment groups were compared using Fisher's exact test for binary data, and Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous data. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: One hundred and one calcaneal fractures were included (C-Nail n = 52, plate n = 49). Patients with C-Nail developed significantly less postoperative complications (p = 0.008), especially wound edge necrosis (p < 0.001). Screw malposition was found more often in the C-Nail group. The rates of achieving full weight-bearing as well as bone healing were comparable in both groups, but in each case significant faster in the C-nail subgroup. The results of the matched-pairs analysis were comparable. CONCLUSIONS: The postoperative complication rate was significantly lower in the C-Nail group. The C-Nail appears to be a successful alternative in the treatment of calcaneal fractures, even in Sanders IV fractures because of the minimal-invasive implantation as well as the high primary stability. Long-term analysis of this new implant including elaboration on functional outcome is planned. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien (DRKS) DRKS00020395 .

Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a possible oral complication resulting from antiresorptive therapies, such as bisphosphonates (Bfs). Although the etiology is not entirely clear, it has been shown to be dependent on several factors, with the traumatic stimulation caused by the placement of teeth implants indicated as one of the predisposing factors to this pathology. The indications and preventive methods for performing these procedures have been questioned, making it essential to determine the proper protocols. Thus, the present study aims to discuss the risks of the development of osteonecrosis in patients undergoing dental implant surgery who use Bfs as well as to discuss related local and systemic factors and possible methods for preventing this side effect. The study also aims to present a clinical case of an osteopenic patient who used Bfs and underwent rehabilitation through implants according to specific protocols, which resulted in successful treatment.

Mitochondrial injury has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis. Using cultured osteocytes and a rabbit model, we investigated the possibility that taurine (TAU), which is known to play a role in the preservation of mitochondrial function, might also prevent the development of osteonecrosis. To reduplicate the intraosseous environment seen in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis, dexamethasone (Dex) was added to MLO-Y4 cultured in 1% hypoxia (H-D stress environment). An in vitro study was conducted in which changes in mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), a marker of mitochondrial function, and ATP5A produced by mitochondria, induced by the presence/absence of taurine addition were measured. To confirm the effect of taurine in vivo, 15 Japanese White rabbits were administered methylprednisolone (MP) 20 mg/kg as a single injection into the gluteus muscle (MP+/TAU- group), while for 5 consecutive days from the day of MP administration, taurine 100 mg/kg was administered to 15 animals (MP+/TAU+ group). As a control 15 untreated rabbits were also studied. The rabbits in each of the groups were sacrificed on the 14th day after glucocorticoid administration, and the bilateral femora were harvested. Histopathologically, the incidence of osteonecrosis was quantified immunohistochemically by quantifying TFAM and ATP5A expression. In the rabbits exposed to an H-D stress environment and in MP+/TAU- group, TFAM and ATP5A expression markedly decreased. With addition of taurine in the in vitro and in vivo studies, the expression of TFAM and ATP5A was somewhat decreased as compared with Dex-/hypoxia- or MP-/TAU- group, while improvement was noted as compared with Dex+/hypoxia+ or MP+/TAU- group. In rabbits, the incidence of osteonecrosis was 80% in MP+/TAU- group, in contrast to 20% in the taurine administered group (MP+/TAU+), representing a significant decrease. Since taurine was documented to exert a protective effect on mitochondrial function by inhibiting the mitochondrial dysfunction associated with glucocorticoid administration, we speculated that it might also indirectly help to prevent the development of osteonecrosis in this context. Since taurine is already being used clinically, we considered that its clinical application would also likely be smooth.
