• mice show an age-related Pagets disease of bone-like phenotype characterized by increased bone forming (increased trabecular network and serum PINP) and bone degrading activity (increased TRAP activity and serum CTX-I)
• Pagets disease of bone-like osteolytic lesions are seen at the diaphysis area in femora of 21-month old females
• adipocyte/lipid accumulation in the bones starts between 6-9 months in females, but is not seen in males
• however, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are not elevated
|
• bone marrow-derived monocytes grown in culture exhibit fast and premature in vitro osteoclastogenesis
|
• femora maintain a relatively high bone density
|
• bone volume fraction is higher in femora
|
• femora show elevated density of trabecular structures, especially at 9, 12, and 15 months of age
|
• increase in trabecular number in femora at 15 months of age, with differences in trabecular number starting to appear around 9 months of age
• however, trabecular thickness is not affected
|
• decrease in trabecular separation in femora at 15 months of age, with differences in trabecular separation starting to appear around 9 months of age
|
• femora maintain a relatively high bone density and thus a low trabecular separation during aging, indicating a transformation in bone turnover
• the increased trabecular bone structures and high bone-associated TRAP staining indicate increased bone turnover
|
• high osteoblast activity at 21 months of age
|
• high osteoclast activity at 21 months of age
|
