摘要:

目的 利用卵巢切除小鼠模型探讨雌激素缺乏对骨重塑特征的影响。方法 将10只12周龄雌性C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为假手术(Sham)组和卵巢切除术(OVX)组,每组5只。术后16周分离小鼠子宫,观察形态并统计子宫质量。CT扫描分析小鼠股骨远端,抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶(TRAP)染色评估股骨组织石蜡切片的破骨细胞数量。采用CD11b磁珠分选小鼠股骨骨髓的骨髓源性间充质干细胞(BM-MSCs)和骨髓来源的巨噬细胞(BMMs)。碱性磷酸酶(ALP)染色评估BM-MSCs成骨分化潜能;反转录-定量PCR检测BM-MSCs成骨分化相关基因(Runx2、Sp7和Spp1)及BMMs破骨细胞分化相关基因(Ctsk、Acp5和Cd40)的表达水平。结果 与Sham组相比,OVX组的子宫出现明显萎缩,质量减轻;骨矿物质密度(BMD)、骨体积分数(BV/TV)、骨表面积组织体积比(BS/TV)、骨小梁数量(Tb.N)、骨小梁厚度(Tb.Th)、皮质骨矿物质密度(Ct.BMD)和皮质骨厚度(Ct.Th)明显减少,骨小梁分离度(Tb.Sp)明显增加(P<0.01);与Sham组相比,OVX组BM-MSCs中Runx2、Sp7和Spp1 mRNA表达水平降低(P<0.01);诱导后,其成骨分化程度也减低。与Sham组相比,OVX组BMMs中Ctsk、Acp5和Cd40的mRNA表达水平升高,股骨远端骨髓中破骨细胞数量多于Sham组(P<0.01)。结论 OVX导致的雌激素缺乏在减弱成骨分化能力的同时增强了破骨细胞的分化能力,最终引起骨稳态失调,造成骨质疏松。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of estrogen deficiency on bone remodeling characteristics in an ovariectomized mouse model. Methods Ten 12-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group and the ovariectomy (OVX) group, with 5 mice in each group. The uteri of mice were isolated at 16 weeks postoperatively. The morphology was observed, and uterine weights were counted. CT scans were performed to analyze the distal femur of the mice, and anti-tartrate acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was performed to assess the number of osteoclasts in paraffin sections of femoral tissue. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were sorted from femoral bone marrow of mice using CD11b magnetic beads. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was performed to assess the osteogenic differentiation potential of BM-MSCs. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect the expression levels of genes related to osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs (Runx2, Sp7, and Spp1) and osteoclast differentiation of BMMs (Ctsk, Acp5, and Cd40). Results Compared with the sham group, the uterus of the OVX group showed significant atrophy and weight loss, and bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone surface area tissue volume ratio (BS/TV), number of trabeculae (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), cortical bone mineral density (Ct.BMD) and cortical bone thickness (Ct.Th) were significantly reduced, and bone trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was significantly increased (P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of Runx2, Sp7 and Spp1 were reduced in BM-MSCs of the OVX group compared with the sham group (P<0.01). The osteogenic differentiation was also diminished after induction. The mRNA expression levels of Ctsk, Acp5 and Cd40 were elevated in the BMMs of the OVX group, and the number of osteoclasts in bone marrow of the distal femur was greater in the OVX group than that in the sham group (P<0.01). Conclusion OVX-induced estrogen deficiency can enhance osteoclast differentiation and attenuate osteogenic differentiation capacity, ultimately causing dysregulation of bone homeostasis and resulting in osteoporosis.
