| dcterms.abstract | Novel modalities with strong translational potential to prevent osteoporosis are urgently called for, as osteoporosis strikes the society with high incidences of disease-related fractures and excessive medical costs. While bone fluid flow (BFF) regulates bone adaptation, intramedullary pressure (ImP) can initiate BFF and influence osteogenic signals. To establish the translational potential, a non-invasive intervention with direct ImP-coupled BFF can help develop new non-pharmaceutical treatments for osteopenia/osteoporosis. The overall objective of this dissertation was to investigate the effects of a novel, non-invasive dynamic hydraulic stimulation (DHS) on skeletal regulatory responses at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. The global hypothesis was that DHS mediates ImP-induced regulation of BFF and promotes osteogenic adaptation, which in turn mitigates bone deterioration under disuse condition. This hypothesis was tested with four specific aims: 1) to investigate the ability of DHS to induce ImP with minimal bone strain as a loading dependence matter, and to determine the optimized DHS in bone, 2) to evaluate the effects of optimized DHS on skeletal tissue adaptation under functional disuse condition, 3) to evaluate the effects of optimized DHS on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population, 4) to elucidate the alterations of the gene expressions of osteogenic growth factors and transcription factors in response to DHS. Immediate ImP induction was observed in the in vivo rat tibiae in response to DHS. Induced ImP (peak-to-peak) values were in a nonlinear fashion over the loading frequencies (1~10 Hz), which peaked at 2 Hz. Oscillatory DHS at various loading frequencies generated minimal bone strain. Furthermore, trabecular bone quantities and microstructural properties, as well as dynamic remodeling processes of the loaded tibiae in hindlimb suspended rats were evaluated using microCT and histomorphometry analyses. Significant improvements by oscillatory DHS on trabecular bone structural properties and bone formation indices were shown. These data strongly suggest that oscillatory DHS may regulate the tissue fluid dynamics, which serves critically in bone adaptation. Finally, longitudinal evaluations of bone marrow MSC population and osteogenic gene expressions demonstrated the effects of DHS on bone at the cellular and molecular levels, as well as their contributions to mitigate phenotypic disuse bone loss. These results clearly imply the ability of DHS as an effective, non-invasive intervention for potential osteopenia and osteoporosis treatments. | |
