Static Preload Inhibits Loading-Induced Bone Formation.

ABSTRACT: Nearly all exogenous loading models of bone adaptation apply dynamic loading superimposed upon a time invariant static preload (SPL) in order to ensure stable, reproducible loading of bone. Given that SPL may alter aspects of bone mechanotransduction (eg, interstitial fluid flow), we hypothesized that SPL inhibits bone formation induced by dynamic loading. As a first test of this hypothesis, we utilized a newly developed device that enables stable dynamic loading of the murine tibia with SPLs???-0.01?N. We subjected the right tibias of BALB/c mice (4-month-old females) to dynamic loading (-3.8?N, 1?Hz, 50 cycles/day, 10?s rest) superimposed upon one of three SPLs: -1.5?N, -0.5?N, or -0.03?N. Mice underwent exogenous loading 3 days/week for 3 weeks. Metaphyseal trabecular bone adaptation (?CT) and midshaft cortical bone formation (dynamic histomorphometry) were assessed following euthanasia (day 22). Ipsilateral tibias of mice loaded with a -1.5-N SPL demonstrated significantly less trabecular bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) than contralateral tibias (-12.9%). In contrast, the same dynamic loading superimposed on a -0.03-N SPL significantly elevated BV/TV versus contralateral tibias (12.3%) and versus the ipsilateral tibias of the other SPL groups (-0.5?N: 46.3%, -1.5?N: 37.2%). At the midshaft, the periosteal bone formation rate (p.BFR) induced when dynamic loading was superimposed on -1.5-N and -0.5-N SPLs was significantly amplified in the -0.03-N SPL group (>200%). These data demonstrate that bone anabolism induced by dynamic loading is markedly inhibited by SPL magnitudes commonly implemented in the literature (ie, -0.5?N, -1.5?N). The inhibitory impact of SPL has not been recognized in bone adaptation models and, as such, SPLs have been neither universally reported nor standardized. Our study therefore identifies a previously unrecognized, potent inhibitor of mechanoresponsiveness that has potentially confounded studies of bone adaptation and translation of insights from our field. © 2018 The Authors.

Project description:Teriparatide (TPTD) reduces risk of both vertebral and nonvertebral fracture, but increases bone mineral density (BMD) much more at the spine than the hip. TPTD and mechanical loading may have a synergistic anabolic effect on BMD, which may help explain these site-specific differences. Under normal daily activity, the femoral neck (FN) is under bending, placing one side under tension and the other under compression. We sought to further understand the relationship between mechanical loading and TPTD at the hip by investigating the effect of tensile versus compressive loading on TPTD stimulated bone formation indices in the human FN. Thirty-eight patients receiving total hip replacements for osteoarthritis were randomized to receive placebo (PBO) or TPTD for a mean treatment duration of 6 weeks prior to surgery, and double tetracycline labeling was administered to allow assessment of bone formation. The FN was harvested during surgery and analyzed for dynamic bone formation indices in the compressive and tensile regions of the endocortical and periosteal envelopes. Regression models relating outcome measures to patient characteristics including sex, age, body weight, and FN geometry were also analyzed. Overall, bone formation was higher with TPTD versus placebo on the endocortical surface, but not the periosteal surface. The level of bone formation in both TPTD and placebo groups was greater on the tensile endocortical surface and the compressive periosteal surface. There was a trend toward decreased endocortical eroded surface with TPTD in the compressive but not the tensile region. Patient age and sex explained the greatest variability in endocortical bone formation, and patient body mass and sex explained the greatest variability in periosteal bone formation. Our data represent the first dynamic comparison of teriparatide treatment under two loading modalities in human FN samples. Future work could determine whether specific hip loading intervention could amplify the benefits of teriparatide on the hip in clinical settings.

Project description:Classic studies in bone mechanobiology have established the importance of loading parameters on the anabolic response. Most of these early studies were done using loading methods not currently in favor, and using non-murine species. Our objective was to re-examine the effects of several loading parameters on the response of cortical bone using the contemporary murine axial tibial compression model. We subjected tibias of 5-month old, female C57Bl/6 mice to cyclic (4?Hz) mechanical loading and examined bone formation responses using dynamic and static histomorphometry. First, using a reference protocol of 1,200 cycles/day, 5 days/week for 2 weeks, we confirmed the significant influence of peak strain magnitude on periosteal mineralizing surface (Ps.MS/BS) and bone formation rate (Ps.BFR/BS) (p?<?0.05, ANOVA). There was a significant induction of periosteal lamellar bone at a lower threshold of approx. -1,000??? and a transition from lamellar-woven bone near -2,000???. In contrast, on the endocortical surface, bone formation indices did not exhibit a load magnitude-dependent response and no incidence of woven bone. Next, we found that reducing daily cycle number from 1,200 to 300 to 60 did not diminish the bone formation response (p?>?0.05). On the other hand, reducing the daily frequency of loading from 5 consecutive days/week to 3 alternate days/week significantly diminished the periosteal response, from a loading-induced increase in Ps.MS/BS of 38% (loaded vs. control) for 5 days/week to only 15% for 3 days/week (p?<?0.05). Finally, we determined that reducing the study duration from 2 to 1 weeks of loading did not affect bone formation outcomes. In conclusion, cyclic loading to -1,800??? peak strain, at 4?Hz and 60 cycles/day for 5 consecutive days (1 week) induces an increase in periosteal lamellar bone formation with minimal incidence of woven bone in 5-month-old C57Bl/6 female mice. Our results provide a basis for reduction of loading duration (daily cycles and study length) without loss of anabolic effect as measured by dynamic histomorphometry. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Project description:Mechanical loading stimulates bone formation. Bone-lining-cell activation and cell proliferation have been implicated in this process. However, the origin of osteoblasts that form bone following mechanical stimulation remains unknown. Our objective was to identity the contributions of activation, differentiation, and proliferation of osteoblast lineage cells to loading-induced periosteal bone formation. Tamoxifen-inducible Osx-Cre-ERT2;Ai9/TdTomato reporter mice (male and female) were aged to young adult (5 months) and middle age (12 months), and were administered tamoxifen for 5 consecutive days to label osterix-lineage cells. Following a 3-week clearance period, mice were subjected to five consecutive bouts of unilateral axial tibial compression. We first confirmed this protocol stimulated an increase in periosteal bone formation that was primarily lamellar apposition. Next, mice received 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) in their drinking water daily to label proliferating cells; calcein was given to label active mineralizing surfaces. Tibias were harvested after the fifth loading day and processed for frozen undecalcified histology. The middiaphyseal periosteal surface in the region of peak bone formation was analyzed. Histology revealed both nonloaded and loaded tibias were covered in osterix positive (Osx+) cells on the periosteal surface of both 5- and 12-month-old animals. There was a significant increase in the mineralizing surface (calcein+) covered with Osx+ cells in loaded versus control limbs. Furthermore, nearly all of the mineralizing surfaces (>95%) were lined with Osx+ cells. We also observed approximately 30% of Osx+ cells were also BrdU+, indicating they arose via proliferation. These results show that following mechanical loading, pre-existing cells of the Osx lineage cover the vast majority of surfaces where there is active loading-induced bone formation, and a portion of these cells proliferated in the 5-day loading period. We conclude the initial anabolic response after mechanical loading is based on the activation and proliferation of Osx lineage cells, not the differentiation of progenitor cells. © 2019 The Authors.
