摘要
Objective: Disuse osteoporosis is a major type of bone loss disease characterized by regional bone loss and microstructure alterations. The condition is induced by a marked decrease in weight bearing over time, which usually occurs due to limb immobilization, therapeutic bed rest or space flight. To date, the most commonly used mouse model of disuse osteoporosis is constructed using the classical tail suspension method, which causes tail injury, movement inconvenience and mental stress. This study aimed to propose a noninvasive and effective method for the establishment of a mouse model of disuse osteoporosis and compared this method with the tail suspension method.Methods: 3D printing technology was applied to construct a movable unloading device. A movable noninvasive 3D-printed unloading device (3D-ULD) was used to unload the hindlimbs of the mice. The bone microstructure and bone volume of unloaded femurs were analysed through micro-CT and H&E staining, and von Kossa staining was performed for the detection of bone mineralization in the femurs. TRAP staining, IHC-CTSK and Q-PCR were performed for evaluation of the bone resorption ability, and double labelling, IHC-DMP1, ALP staining and Q-PCR assays were conducted to assess the osteogenic ability. The mechanical properties of disused bone were detected using the three-point bending test. The body, thymus and spleen weights of the mice were recorded, and the serum corticosterone level of the mice was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: The micro-CT results showed significant trabecular bone loss, and 3D-ULD induced cortical bone loss in disused femurs as well as a decrease in the bone mineral density in the unloaded mice. TRAP staining and IHCCTSK staining results indicated increases in the osteoclast number per bone perimeter (Oc.N/B.Pm) and the osteoclast surface per bone surface (Oc.S/BS) in the unloaded mice. The Ctsk, Trap and Mmp9 expression levels were significantly increased in the unloaded mice. Decreases in the ratio of the mineral surface to bone surface (MS/BS), mineral apposition rate (MAR) and bone formation rate per bone surface (BFR/BS) were found in unloaded mice in the 3D-ULD by double labelling. The IHC-DMP1 and ALP staining results showed decreases in the osteoblast number per bone perimeter (Ob.N/B.Pm) and osteoblast surface per bone surface (Ob. S/BS) in the mice unloaded in the 3D-ULD, and these mice also showed decreased Runx2, Alp and Dmp1 expression levels. Three-point bending test results showed that the mechanical properties were attenuated in the disused femurs of the unloaded mice. Less skin rupture and rare alterations in the thymus and spleen weights were found in the unloaded mice in the 3D-ULD. The ELISA results indicated the serum corticosterone level of the mice unloaded in the 3D-ULD was significantly lower than that of mice suspended by their tail.Conclusion: This new disuse osteoporosis mouse model based on 3D-ULD could induce effective disuse bone loss with significantly alleviated side effects.Translational potential of this article: This study proposes a new disuse osteoporosis mouse model based on 3D-ULD that can be used to better understand disuse bone loss in the future.
