The specimens of femur from wild-type mice(WT) of 6 months and Hepcidin-knockout(KO) mice of 6 months(iron accumulation model) were obtained for Micro-CT examination. Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation were used to detect the changes of related parameters in Wnt signaling pathway. Compared with wild-type mice, the bone mass in Hepcidin-KO mice was significantly decreased, the binding of β-catenin to FOXO3a increased, and binding of β-catenin to TCF4/TCF7L2 decreased in bone tissue, without significant changes in the expression of β-catenin, TCF4/TCF7L2, and FOXO3a. These results suggest that iron accumulation may affect bone formation through interfering with canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, finally leading to osteoporosis.

Objective:To explore the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and type H vessel, which was recently identified as strongly positive for CD31 and Endomucin (CD31 hiEmcn hi) in long bone from ovariectomized (OVX) mice compared withSham group. Methods:C57BL/6Jwild-type mice were used for experiments and bone tissuewas collected. Eight-week-old female mice were randomly divided into bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and a sham operation (Sham). The bilateral ovaries were exposed and removed in the OVX group. In the sham group, the ovaries were only exposed but left intact. After 4weeks, these mice were killed for experiment and the femurs were collected for Micro CT scanning in order to observe the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular indexes, including bone volume (BV), total volume of interest (TV), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N). The fresh tibia of each mouse was fixed, decalcified, dehydrated and embedded for immunostaining. All experimental data were analyzed with t-test. Results:Mouse femora from two groups were dissected at 4 week time points, and the attached soft tissue was completely removed for Micro CT scanning. BMD in OVX is 0.11±0.01 g/cm 3 and 0.21±0.01 g/cm 3 in Sham, which indicated the BMD in OVX significantly decreased. The results showed significant difference between the groups ( P=0.001). The microarchitecture in trabecular bone changed. BV/TV in OVX is 11.52%±1.77% and 25.87%±1.31% in Sham, which indicated the BV/TV in OVX significantly decreased. The results showed significant difference between the groups ( P<0.05). Tb.N in OVX is 1.67±0.33/mm and 2.95±0.82/mm in Sham, which indicated the Tb.N in OVX slightly decreased. The results showed no significant difference between the groups ( P=0.066). Tb.Th in OVX is 0.06±0.01 mm and 0.07±0.01 mm in Sham, which indicated the Tb.Th in OVX significantly thinned. The results showed significant difference between the groups ( P=0.021). Tb.Sp in OVX is 0.29±0.15 mm and 0.19±0.01 mm in Sham, which indicated the Tb.Sp in OVX significantly increased. The results showed significant difference between the groups ( P<0.05). In the groups BMD decreased and trabecular microstructure was broken. Both BMD and trabecular indexes (BV/TV, Tb. Th, Tb. Sp) showed significant changes in OVX group compared with Sham ( P<0.05) except Tb.N. We next examined the expression of CD31 and EMCN via immunostaining in order to observe the changes of type H vessel.By immunostaining, the percentage of HV/TV in OVX group was 9.14%±0.99% and 29.33%±1.22% in the sham-operated mice. Dramatically decreased type H vessels in the metaphysis of OVX mice were observed compared with that of Sham control mice. The results showed significant difference between the groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In this study, ovariectomized mice, a widely used model for postmenopausal osteoporosis, exhibited significantly reduced type H vessels accompanied by reduced BMD, which indicatedtype H vessel involved in the occurrence of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of endogenous iron accumulation onbone mass, intraosseous vessels and the effect of exogenous iron on endothelial cell activity.
Methods:
The mice were divided into control group (C57/BL6 mice without hepcidin knockout) and hepcidin-knockout group (10 mice in each group, 8 weeks old and weighing about 22 g). The mice in both groups were killed at the age of 16 weeks. Serum ferritin levels were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and iron accumulation in liver tissue was measured by Prussian blue staining, while femoral micro-structure was measured by micro-CT, and H-type vessel immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the number of H-vessels in bone. Cell experiments were divided into normal culture group (normal cell group) and intervention group (Fe group) with 200 μmol/L ammonium ferric citrate. Scratch test was used to detect the migration ability of vascular endothelial cells, and tube formation test was used to detect the function of vascular endothelial cells. The endothelial activity of vascular endothelial cells was detected by immunofluorescence.
Results:
The level of serum ferritin (318.30±12.53 ng/ml) in the hepcidin-knockout group was significantly higher than that in control group (109.60±4.66 ng/ml). The percentage of blue area of Prussian liver iron staining in the hepcidin-knockout group (80.80%±3.156%) was significantly higher than that in control group (20.94%±2.813%). Bone mineral density in the hepcidin-knockout group (0.044±0.002 mg/m3) was significantly higher than that in control group (0.131±0.008 mg/m3). The number of intraosseous blood vessels in the hepcidin-depleted mice (17.06%±1.060%) was significantly lower than that in control group (38.76%±4.576%). There were significant differences between the two groups in each index (
