Osteoporosis is characterized by enhanced activity of osteoclasts relative to that of osteoblasts. Thus, the principal means of treating the most common form of osteoporosis, namely that attending menopause, is inhibition of osteoclast formation or function. We have demonstrated that the inflammatory cytokine, IL‐17, mediates estrogen‐deficient osteoporosis, in mice, and that genetic blockade of its function prevents ovariectomy‐induced bone loss. We herein report that the febrifugine derivative, halofuginone, a small molecule drug, reduces abundance of Th‐17 cells in mice and prevents estrogen‐deficient osteoporosis by diminishing bone resorption without impacting osteogenesis. In keeping with IL‐17 mediating its osteoclastogenic effects by promoting RANK ligand expression by osteoblasts, halofuginone does not directly inhibit the bone resorptive cell. Thus, halofuginone, which is presently FDA‐approved for treatment of scleroderma, is a candidate therapeutic for post‐menopausal osteoporosis. J. Cell.

Little is known about specific IL‐23 alterations associated with breast cancer and the data available are still controversial. Therefore, the evaluation of changes in serum IL‐23 levels may add further information on the role of this cytokine in breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the prognostic importance of circulating IL‐23 in patients with untreated breast cancer, respect to healthy controls, and the association with clinico‐pathological variables. The study involved 50 women diagnosed with stages I–IV breast cancer and 38 healthy controls. Of the 50 breast cancer patients, 37 women were recruited prior to their initial adjuvant chemotherapy and 13 prior to receive first line chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Adjuvant chemotherapy patients were at least in their 4th week post‐surgery. IL‐23 serum concentrations were measured by a quantitative enzyme immunoassay technique. We found a statistically significant higher systemic cytokine value in women with cancer in comparison with the control group (14.52 ± 11.39 pg/ml vs. 6.35 ± 4.63 pg/ml, P < 0.0001). Patients with shorter overall survival presented higher IL‐23 values, suggesting a negative prognostic correlation. There was no significant differences in IL‐23 levels among patients according to the biomolecular characteristics, the different subtypes and the presence of metastatic disease. This work investigated, for the first time, the role of IL‐23 in breast cancer patients showing a significant increase respect the control group. However, further validations are needed in larger studies to better investigate the implications of IL‐23 increase in these patients. J. Cell.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by progressive β‐cell dysfunctioning and insulin resistance. This article reviews recent literature with special focus on inflammatory mechanisms that provoke the pathogenesis of T2DM. We have focused on the recent advances in progression of T2DM including various inflammatory mechanisms that might induce inflammation, insulin resistance, decrease insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and dysfunctioning of β‐cells. Here we have also summarized the role of various pro‐inflammatory mediators involved in inflammatory mechanisms, which may further alter the normal structure of β‐cells by inducing pancreatic islet's apoptosis. In conclusion, it is suggested that the role of inflammation in pathogenesis of T2DM is crucial and cannot be neglected. Moreover, the insight of inflammatory responses in T2DM may provide a new gateway for the better treatment of diabetes mellitus. J. Cell.

Although previous studies have demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) stimulated or inhibited osteoclastic differentiation, little is known about the effects of H2S on the differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. To determine the possible bioactivities of H2S on bone metabolism, we investigated the in vitro effects of H2S on cytotoxicity, osteoblastic, and osteoclastic differentiation as well as the underlying mechanism in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and nicotine‐stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). The H2S donor, NaHS, protected hPDLCs from nicotine and LPS‐induced cytotoxicity and recovered nicotine‐ and LPS‐downregulated osteoblastic differentiation, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mRNA expression of osteoblasts, including ALP, osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN), and mineralized nodule formation. Concomitantly, NaHS inhibited the differentiation of tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)‐positive osteoclasts in mouse bone marrow cells and blocked nicotine‐ and LPS‐induced osteoclastogenesis regulatory molecules, such as RANKL, OPG, M‐CSF, MMP‐9, TRAP, and cathepsin K mRNA. NaHS blocked nicotine and LPS‐induced activation of p38, ERK, MKP‐1, PI3K, PKC, and PKC isoenzymes, and NF‐κB. The effects of H2S on nicotine‐ and LPS‐induced osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation were remarkably reversed by MKP‐1 enzyme inhibitor (vanadate) and expression inhibitor (triptolide). Taken together, we report for the first time that H2S inhibited cytotoxicity and osteoclastic differentiation and recovered osteoblastic differentiation in a nicotine‐ and periodontopathogen‐stimulated hPDLCs model, which has potential therapeutic value for treatment of periodontal and inflammatory bone diseases.

Osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption precedes osteoblast‐mediated bone formation through early adulthood, but formation fails to keep pace with resorption during aging. We previously identified several factors produced by osteoclasts that promote bone formation. In this study, we determined if osteoclast‐produced factors contribute to the impaired bone formation with aging. We previously found that mice between the ages of 18 and 22 months develop age‐related bone loss. Bone marrow‐derived pre‐osteoclasts were isolated from 6‐week, 12‐month, and 18‐ to 24‐month‐old mice and differentiated into osteoclasts in vitro. Conditioned media were collected and compared for osteoblast mineralization support. Conditioned medium from osteoclasts from all ages was able to support mineralization of bone marrow stromal cells. Concentrating the conditioned medium from 6‐week‐old and 12‐month‐old mouse marrow cells‐derived osteoclasts enhanced mineralization support whereas concentrated conditioned medium from 18‐ to 24‐month‐old mouse marrow‐derived osteoclasts repressed mineralization compared to base medium. This observation suggests that an inhibitor of mineralization was secreted by aged murine osteoclasts. Gene and protein analysis revealed that the Wnt antagonist sclerostin was significantly elevated in the conditioned media from 24‐month‐old mouse cells compared to 6‐week‐old mouse cells. Antibodies directed to sclerostin neutralized the influences of the aged mouse cell concentrated conditioned media on mineralization. Sclerostin is primarily produced by osteocytes in young animals. This study demonstrates that osteoclasts from aged mice also produce sclerostin in quantities that may contribute to the age‐related impairment in bone formation. J. Cell.
