概要 | Loss of mechanical stress causes bone loss. However, the mechanisms underlying the unloading-induced bone loss are largely unknown. Here, we examined the effects of gold-thioglucose (GTG) treatment, which destroys ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), on unloading-induced boneloss. Unloading reduced bone volume in control (saline-treated) mice. Treatment with GTG-reduced bone mass and in these GTG-treated mice, unloading-induced reduction in bone mass levels was not observed. Unloading reduced the levels of bone formation rate (BFR) and mineral apposition rate (MAR). GTG treatment also reduced these parameters and under this condition, unloading did not further reduce the levels of BFR and MAR. Unloading increased the levels of osteoclast number (Oc.N/BS) and osteoclast surface (Oc.S/BS). GTG treatment did not alter the basal levels of these bone resorption parameters. In contrast to control, GTG treatment suppressed unloading-induced increase in the levels of Oc.N/BS and Oc.S/BS. Unloading reduced the levels of mRNA expression of the genes encoding osteocalcin, type I collagen and Cbfa1 in bone. In contrast, GTG treatment suppressed such unloading-induced reduction of mRNA expression. |
