  • DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP cooperatively regulate osteoclast and foreign body giant cell cell-cell fusion

    Abstract

    Introduction

    Osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) are multi-nuclear cells established by fusion of their mono-nuclear forms. Multi-nucleation via cell–cell fusion is a common characteristic of osteoclasts and FBGCs, and Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane Protein (DC-STAMP) and Osteoclast Stimulatory Transmembrane Protein (OC-STAMP) are both required for the process. Thus, it is thought that DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP interaction likely induces this fusion, but details of these mechanisms are not clear.

    Materials and methods

    We crossed DC-STAMP knockout (KO) with OC-STAMP KO mice to obtain DC-STAMP/OC-STAMP doubly deficient (DKO) mice. Osteoclasts and FBGC common progenitors were isolated from wild-type (WT), DC-STAMP KO, OC-STAMP KO or DKO mice. We then set up 4 co-culture systems: (1) WT with DC-STAMP KO cells, (2) WT with OC-STAMP KO cells, (3) WT with DKO cells, and (4) DC-STAMP KO with OC-STAMP KO cells to induce osteoclast or FBGC formation. We evaluated osteoclast and FBGC formation by TRAP and May–Gruenwald Giemsa staining, respectively. Finally, we performed bone morphometric analysis of WT, DC-STAMP KO, OC-STAMP KO, and DKO mice.

    Results

    Cell–cell fusion occurs normally in co-cultures of DC KO with WT cells, OC KO with WT cells, and DKO with WT cells in both osteoclast and FBGC-inducing conditions. By contrast, co-cultures of DC-STAMP KO with OC-STAMP KO cells did not show cell–cell fusion. Bone morphometric analysis revealed enhanced bone formation in DKO mice.

    Conclusion

    DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP cooperate to promote osteoclast and FBGC cell–cell fusion. DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP doubly deficient mice exhibit increased osteogenesis.

  • A retrospective analysis of outcomes of non-operative therapy for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

    Kanako Munakata, Hidetaka Miyashita, Yuka Yamada, Tomoya Soma, Seiji Asoda, Taneaki Nakagawa

    Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Elsevier BV)  83 ( 12 ) 1549 - 1559 2025.12

    Accepted,  ISSN  0278-2391

     View Summary

    Background: Limited research is available regarding the role of nonoperative therapy in managing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) as it relates to progression or resolution of disease. Purpose: The study purpose was to estimate the time to MRONJ stage improvement and risk for relapse among patients managed nonoperatively. Study Design, Setting, Sample: This retrospective cohort study included subjects diagnosed with MRONJ at Keio University Hospital between April 2012 and July 2024. Exclusion criteria included absence of a panoramic radiograph, prior operative therapy, or an observation period of less than 3 months. Predictor Variable: The predictor variable was a set of heterogeneous factors including age, sex, disease stage at the initial visit, presence of diabetes, use of steroid, radiographic findings, primary disease, type of bone-modifying agent (BMA), and BMA holiday before improvement. Disease stage after the stage improvement and BMA holiday after the disease improvement were included as covariates for evaluating the risk of relapse. Main Outcome Variable: The main outcome variable was therapeutic response measured as the time between initial treatment and MRONJ stage improvement, which was defined as an improvement of at least one stage. The secondary outcome was relapse measured as the time between maximal therapeutic response measured by MRONJ stage and worsening of the MRONJ stage. Analyses: The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model was used to estimate the cumulative incidence function (CIF) of outcomes, and Gray's test was used to compare CIF curves for relapse after stage improvement. Results: The sample was composed of 118 subjects with a mean age of 73.4 (±10.03), 54 (45.8%) were male, and the median interquartile range (IQR) duration of follow-up was 23 (11 to 32.5) months. During the study interval, 84 (71.2%) subjects achieved stage improvement, resulting in a 12-month CIF of 0.594. After achieving maximal therapeutic effect, 34 subjects (40.5%) experienced relapse. Incomplete healing after the stage improvement was associated with a higher risk of relapse (P = .0016), with a CIF of 0.661 at 36 months. Conclusions and Relevance: More than half of the subjects experienced stage improvement within 12 months. Incomplete healing following initial intervention may increase the risk of relapse.

     View Summary

    Calcium-phosphate cement (CPC), a paste-like artificial bone, is a material form that allows minimally invasive treatment. However, CPC is not infection resistant, which may lead to surgical site infections. We recently developed a paste-like organic/inorganic hybrid artificial bone that is compatible with the bone remodeling cycle. In this study, we added silver-loaded tricalcium phosphate, which has antibacterial properties, to the hybrid CPC and fabricated a prototype “antibacterial CPC”. Antibacterial and non-antibacterial CPCs were implanted into a rabbit jaw defect model in which infection could occur, and the in vivo responses were compared. In cement specimens retrieved from rabbit jaws, residual material was observed with the non-antibacterial CPC, whereas with the antibacterial CPC, almost all of the material was resorbed and replaced with host bone. These results suggest that placement of antibacterial CPC in a rabbit jaw bone defect model susceptible to bacterial infection promotes material resorption and bone formation. The antibacterial CPC developed in this study is thus a novel paste artificial bone exhibiting good bioresorption and osteogenic potential in biological hard tissues. (Figure presented.)

  • Clinical practice and pathology of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral epithelial dysplasia following the revision of the WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (5th Edition)

     View Summary

    It is well known that the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours is an essential tool and glossary for standardizing diagnostic practices worldwide. This report provides an overview of the revisions to the WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (5th edition) regarding oral potentially malignant disorders and oral epithelial dysplasia related to superficial lesions among epithelial tumors in the oral cavity. In 2017, the fourth edition of the WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumours described oral potentially malignant disorders for the first time. A major topic at that time was the integration of the concepts of previous precancerous conditions and precancerous lesions. In this revision, three disorders were deleted, one was incorporated into a familial cancer syndrome, and three new disorders were added: proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, oral lichenoid lesions, and oral graft-versus-host disease. Oral epithelial dysplasia is defined as a lesion with oral potentially malignant disorders and carries a risk of malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma. The grading of oral epithelial dysplasia has become a histopathological evaluation tool for potentially malignant disorders of the oral cavity. On the other hand, the revisions to oral epithelial dysplasia may be interpreted as contradictory. We outline the issues and the Oral Superficial Cancer Working Group’s thinking on oral epithelial dysplasia.

    口腔顎顔面外科領域では口腔内疾患の多くに骨吸収や骨破壊などを伴う炎症性疾患が多く認められる。ビスフォスフォネート製剤などによる骨吸収製剤の副作用である薬剤関連顎骨壊死も炎症を伴う骨破壊性疾患のひとつである。申請者はこれまで、ビスフォスフォネート製剤を投与したマウスモデルを用い、炎症性サイトカインが、骨壊死の発生や破骨細胞を介した骨破壊を引き起こすことを明らかにした。近年、ビタミンDの抗炎症作用が注目されており、そこで本研究では、炎症を伴う難治性骨破壊性疾患に対するビタミンDの分子メカニズムを解明し、新たな治療方法の確立を目指したい。

    分化異常は悪性腫瘍において広く認められる特徴の一つであり、そのメカニズムの解明は新規治療法の開発につながることが期待される。しかし、その詳細は多くの悪性腫瘍において不明である。申請者は、ある種のセロトニン受容体が頭頸部扁平上皮癌などの扁平上皮癌(SCC)において高発現し、また、予後不良と相関すること、さらには、分化を抑制することにより、悪性腫瘍の進展に寄与することを見出した。本研究では、SCCにおけるHTR7の機能に着目し、その発現・活性制御メカニズムと詳細な分化制御機構の解明を試みる。さらにはセロトニンシグナルによる分化制御機構を標的とし、SCCに対する分化誘導療法の開発を目指す。
