Altered Tissue Composition, Microarchitecture, and Mechanical Performance in Cancellous Bone From Men With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have normal-to-high BMDs, but, counterintuitively, have greater fracture risks than people without T2DM, even after accounting for potential confounders like BMI and falls. Therefore, T2DM may alter aspects of bone quality, including material properties or microarchitecture, that increase fragility independently of bone mass. Our objective was to elucidate the factors that influence fragility in T2DM by comparing the material properties, microarchitecture, and mechanical performance of cancellous bone in a clinical population of men with and without T2DM. Cancellous specimens from the femoral neck were collected during total hip arthroplasty (T2DM: n = 31, age = 65 ± 8 years, HbA1c = 7.1 ± 0.9%; non-DM: n = 34, age = 62 ± 9 years, HbA1c = 5.5 ± 0.4%). The T2DM specimens had greater concentrations of the advanced glycation endproduct pentosidine (+ 36%, P < 0.05) and sugars bound to the collagen matrix (+ 42%, P < 0.05) than the non-DM specimens. The T2DM specimens trended toward a greater bone volume fraction (BV/TV) (+ 24%, NS, P = 0.13) and had greater mineral content (+ 7%, P < 0.05) than the non-DM specimens. Regression modeling of the mechanical outcomes revealed competing effects of T2DM on bone mechanical behavior. The trend of higher BV/TV values and the greater mineral content observed in the T2DM specimens increased strength, whereas the greater values of pentosidine in the T2DM group decreased postyield strain and toughness. The long-term medical management and presence of osteoarthritis in these patients may influence these outcomes. Nevertheless, our data indicate a beneficial effect of T2DM on cancellous microarchitecture, but a deleterious effect of T2DM on the collagen matrix. These data suggest that high concentrations of advanced glycation endproducts can increase fragility by reducing the ability of bone to absorb energy before failure, especially for the subset of T2DM patients with low BV/TV. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Project description:Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of fragility fracture despite exhibiting normal to high bone mineral density (BMD). Conditions arising from T2DM, such as reduced bone turnover and alterations in microarchitecture, may contribute to skeletal fragility by influencing bone morphology and microdamage accumulation. The objectives of this study were (i) to characterize the effect of T2DM on microdamage quantity and morphology in cancellous bone, and (ii) relate the accumulation of microdamage to the cancellous microarchitecture. Cancellous specimens from the femoral neck were collected during total hip arthroplasty (T2DM: n = 22, age = 65 ± 9 years, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] = 7.00% ± 0.98%; non-diabetic [non-DM]: n = 25, age = 61 ± 8 years, HbA1c = 5.50% ± 0.4%), compressed to 3% strain, stained with lead uranyl acetate to isolate microdamage, and scanned with micro-computed tomography (μCT). Individual trabeculae segmentation was used to isolate rod-like and plate-like trabeculae and their orientations with respect to the loading axis. The T2DM group trended toward a greater BV/TV (+27%, p = 0.07) and had a more plate-like trabecular architecture (+8% BVplates , p = 0.046) versus non-DM specimens. Rods were more damaged relative to their volume compared to plates in the non-DM group (DVrods /BVrods versus DVplates /BVplates : +49%, p < 0.0001), but this difference was absent in T2DM specimens. Longitudinal rods were more damaged in the non-DM group (DVlongitudinal rods /BVlongitudinal rods : +73% non-DM versus T2DM, p = 0.027). Total damage accumulation (DV/BV) and morphology (DS/DV) did not differ in T2DM versus non-DM specimens. These results provide evidence that cancellous microarchitecture does not explain fracture risk in T2DM, pointing to alterations in material matrix properties. In particular, cancellous bone from men with T2DM may have an attenuated ability to mitigate microdamage accumulation through sacrificial rods. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to develop an optimal diabetes-osteoarthritis (DM-OA) mouse model to validate that diabetes aggravates osteoarthritis (OA) and to evaluate the microarchitecture, chemical composition, and biomechanical properties of subchondral bone (SB) as a consequence of the DM-OA-induced damage induced.MethodsMice were randomly divided into three groups: DM-OA group, OA group, and sham group. Blood glucose levels, body weight, and food intake of all animals were recorded. Serum calcium (Ca) and osteocalcin (OCN) levels were compared in the three groups. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expression of key regulators for bone metabolism were detected. A semi-quantitative grading system [Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI)] was used to evaluate cartilage and SB degeneration. Microspectroscopy, microindentations, micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging, and fracture load of compression testing were also used to evaluate trabecular SB properties.ResultsGlycemic monitoring and pancreas pathological results indicated stable high blood glucose and massive destruction of pancreas and islet cells in the DM-OA group. Serum levels of bone speciﬁc alkaline phosphatase (ALP-B) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) in the DM-group were higher than those of the other two groups while levels of serum Ca and OCN were lower. Meanwhile, the protein and mRNA expression of osteoblast-specific biomarkers [osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (OPG/RANKL) ratio, collagen type I (COL-I), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2), OCN] were suppressed, and osteoclast-specific biomarkers [sclerostin (SOST)] was elevated in the DM-OA group. The mineral-to-collagen ratio, microindentation elastic modulus, hardness, micro-architectural parameters, bone mineral density, and fracture load of SB trabecular bone of the DM-OA group joint were lower than those of the other two groups. On the other hand, The OARSI score, trabecular spacing, and structural model index of the DM-OA group joint were higher than those of the other two groups.ConclusionsThe glycemic and pancreatic pathological results indicated that the DM-OA model was a simple and reliable model induced by streptozotocin (STZ) and surgery. The results revealed the mechanisms through which diabetes accelerates OA; that is, by damaging and deteriorating the functions of SB, including its microarchitecture, chemical composition, and biomechanical properties.

Project description:Accelerated bone loss (ABL) shown on routine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) may be accompanied by microarchitectural changes, increased cortical porosity, and lower bone strength. To test this hypothesis, we performed a cross-sectional study and used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans (Scanco Medical AG, Brüttisellen, Switzerland) to measure estimated bone strength and microarchitecture in the distal radius and distal and diaphyseal tibia. We studied 1628 men who attended the year 14 exam of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) study. We retrospectively characterized areal bone mineral density (aBMD) change from the year 7 to year 14 exam in three categories: "accelerated" loss, ?10% loss at either the total hip or femoral neck (n?=?299, 18.4%); "expected" loss, <10% (n?=?1061, 65.2%), and "maintained" BMD, ?0% (n?=?268, 16.5%). The ABL cut-off was a safety alert established for MrOS. We used regression models to calculate adjusted mean HR-pQCT parameters in men with ABL, expected loss, or maintained BMD. Men who experienced ABL were older and had a lower body mass index and aBMD and experienced greater weight loss compared with other men. Total volumetric BMD and trabecular and cortical volumetric BMD were lower in men with ABL compared with the expected or maintained group. Men with ABL had significantly lower trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV), fewer trabeculae, and greater trabecular separation at both the distal radius and tibia than men with expected loss or who maintained aBMD, all p trend <0.001. Men with ABL had lower cortical thickness and lower estimated bone strength, but there was no difference in cortical porosity except at the tibia diaphyseal site. In summary, men with ABL have lower estimated bone strength, poorer trabecular microarchitecture, and thinner cortices than men without ABL but have similar cortical porosity. These impairments may lead to an increased risk of fracture. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
