PG - 116292 LID - S8756-3282(21)00458-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116292 [doi] AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) causes an increased risk of bone fractures. However, the pathophysiology of diabetic bone fragility is not completely understood. It has been proposed that an inflammatory microenvironment in bone could be a major mechanism by inducing uncontrolled bone resorption, inadequate bone formation and consequently more porous bones. We propose that activated T-cells in the bone marrow cause a pro-inflammatory microenvironment in bone, and cause bone fragility in T2DM. We induced T2DM in C57BL/6 male mice through a hypercaloric diet rich in carbohydrates and low doses of streptozocin. In T2DM mice we inhibited systemic activation of T-cells with a fusion protein between the extracellular domain of Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 and the Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G (CTLA4-Ig). We analysed the effects of T2DM or CTLA4-Ig in lymphocyte cell subsets and antigen-presenting cells in peripheral blood and femoral bone marrow; and their effect on the metabolic phenotype, blood and bone cytokine concentration, femoral bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties, and the number of osteoblast-like cells in the femoral endosteum. We performed a Pearson multiple correlation analysis between all variables in order to understand the global mechanism. Results demonstrated that CTLA4-Ig decreased the number of activated CD4(+) T-cells in the femoral bone marrow and consequently decreased TNF-alpha and RANK-L concentration in bone, notably improved femoral bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties, increased the number of osteoblast-like cells, and reduces osteoclastic activity compared to T2DM mice that did not receive the inhibitor. Interestingly, we observed that blood glucose levels and insulin resistance may be related to the increase in activated CD4(+) T-cells in the bone marrow. We conclude that bone marrow activated CD4(+) T-cells cause poor bone quality and insulin resistance in T2DM. CI - Published by Elsevier Inc.
