    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder of connective tissue characterized by low bone mass and spontaneous fractures, as well as extra-skeletal manifestations, such as dental abnormalities, blue sclera, hearing loss and joint hypermobility. Tendon ruptures have been reported in OI patients. Here, we characterized the biomechanical, structural and tissue material properties of bone and tendon in 5-week-old female osteogenesis imperfecta mice (oim), a validated model of severe type III OI, and compared these data with age- and sex-matched WT littermates. Oim tendons were less rigid and less resistant than those of WT mice. They also presented a significantly higher rate of pentosidine, without significant modification of enzymatic crosslinking. The oim bones were less resistant and avulsion fractures were evident at high tendinous stress areas. Alterations of trabecular and cortical bone microarchitectures were noticed in young female oim. Bone tissue material properties were also modified, with a less mature and more mineralized matrix in association with lower collagen maturity. Our data suggest that the tendon-to-bone unit is affected in young oim mice, which could explain tendon ruptures and bone fragility observed in OI patients.

    Abstract Large bone defect regeneration remains a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Tissue engineering approaches are therefore emerging in order to overcome this limitation. However, these processes can alter some of essential native tissue properties such as intermolecular crosslinks of collagen triple helices, which are known for their essential role in tissue structure and function. We assessed the persistence of extracellular matrix (ECM) properties in human fascia lata (HFL) and periosteum (HP) after tissue engineering processes such as decellularization and sterilization. Harvested from cadaveric donors (N = 3), samples from each HFL and HP were decellularized following five different chemical protocols with and without detergents (D1-D4 and D5, respectively). D1 to D4 consisted of different combinations of Triton, Sodium dodecyl sulfate and Deoxyribonuclease, while D5 is routinely used in the institutional tissue bank. Decellularized HFL tissues were further gamma-irradiated (minimum 25 kGy) in order to study the impact of sterilization on the ECM. Polarized light microscopy (PLM) was used to estimate the thickness and density of collagen fibers. Tissue hydration and content of hydroxyproline, enzymatic crosslinks, and non-enzymatic crosslinks (pentosidine) were semi-quantified with Raman spectroscopy. ELISA was also used to analyze the maintenance of the decorin (DCN), an important small leucine rich proteoglycan for fibrillogenesis. Among the decellularization protocols, detergent-free treatments tended to further disorganize HFL samples, as more thin fibers (+53.7%) and less thick ones (-32.6%) were recorded, as well as less collagen enzymatic crosslinks (-25.2%,

    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare congenital bone dysplasia generally caused by a mutation of one of the type I collagen genes and characterized by low bone mass, numerous fractures, and bone deformities. The collagen organization and osteocyte lacuna arrangement were investigated in the long bones of 17-week-old wildtype (WT, n = 17) and osteogenesis imperfecta mice (OIM, n = 16) that is a validated model of severe human OI in order to assess their possible role in bone fragility. Fractures were counted after in vivo scanning at weeks 5, 11, and 17. Humerus, femur, and tibia diaphyses from both groups were analyzed ex vivo with pQCT, polarized and ordinary light histology, and Nano-CT. The fractures observed in the OIM were more numerous in the humerus and femur than in the tibia, whereas the quantitative bone parameters were altered in different ways among these bones. Collagen fiber organization appeared disrupted, with a lower birefringence in OIM than WT bones, whereas the osteocyte lacunae were more numerous, more spherical, and not aligned in a lamellar pattern. These modifications, which are typical of immature and less mechanically competent bone, attest to the reciprocal alteration of collagen matrix and osteocyte lacuna organization in the OIM, thereby contributing to bone fragility.

    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder of connective tissue characterized by spontaneous fractures, bone deformities, impaired growth and posture, as well as extra-skeletal manifestations. Recent studies have underlined an impairment of the osteotendinous complex in mice models of OI. The first objective of the present work was to further investigate the properties of tendons in the osteogenesis imperfecta mouse (oim), a model characterized by a mutation in the

    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), which is most often due to a collagen type 1 gene mutation, is characterized by low bone density and bone fragility. In OI patients, gender-related differences were reported, but data in the literature are not convergent. We previously observed that sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab), which stimulates osteoblast Wnt pathway via sclerostin inactivation, improved spine and long-bone parameters and biomechanical strength in female oim/oim mice, a validated model of human type 3 OI. Here, we wanted to highlight the effect of Scl-Ab on male oim/oim bones in order to identify a possible distinct therapeutic effect from that observed in females. According to the same protocol as our previous study with female mice, male wild-type (Wt) and oim/oim mice received vehicle or Scl-Ab from 5 to 14 weeks of age. Clinimetric and quantitative bone parameters were studied using X-rays, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, microradiography, and dynamic histomorphometry and compared to those of females. Contrary to Wt mice, male oim/oim had significantly lower weight, snout-sacrum length, and bone mineral content than females at 5 weeks. No significant difference in these clinimetric parameters was observed at 14 weeks, whereas male oim showed significantly more long-bone fractures than females. Scl-Ab improved bone mineral density and bone volume/total volume ratio (BV/TV) of vertebral body in Wt and oim/oim, without significant difference between male and female at 14 weeks. Male vehicle oim/oim had a significantly lower cortical thickness (Ct.Th) and BV/TV of tibial diaphysis than female and showed a higher number of fractures at 14 weeks. Scl-Ab increased midshaft periosteal apposition rate in such a way that tibial Ct.Th of male oim/oim was not significantly different from the female one at 14 weeks. The number of fractures was lower in male than female oim/oim after 14 weeks of Scl-Ab treatment, but this difference was not significant. Nevertheless, Scl-Ab-treated oim/oim male and female mice remained smaller than the Wt ones. In conclusion, our results highlighted differences between male and female oim/oim at 4 and 14 weeks of age, as well as some male-specific response of cortical bone to Scl-Ab. These gender-related particularities of oim/oim should be considered when testing experimental treatments.
