In this study, the rescue effect of receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) on zoledronate acid (ZOL) induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was investigated. Mice calvarial osteoblasts (OBs) were harvested and co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells and the cells were divided into 4 groups and received treatment with ZOL and RANKL, either single or combined. The formation of multi-nucleated osteoclast (OC) was examined and gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was detected. Group B (ZOL) showed least multi-nucleated OC and resorption lacunae among the 4 groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) and it was followed by group C (ZOL+RANKL). Group D (RANKL) showed highest OC and resorption lacunae while it was similar to Group A (control) (P > 0.05). Gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was the lowest in group B (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) among the four groups and was significantly increased in group C when compared with group B (P < 0.05). Group A and D showed highest gene expression and they were similar to each other (P > 0.05). This study suggest that RANKL might partly rescue ZOL induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, and the effect of RANKL and ZOL on osteoclastogenesis may be mediated by NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun.

Objective To explore the relationship between lipids profile and body composition in the young and middle?aged adults. Method The relationship between body composition and lipids profile was examined in 642 adults (21-60 years, 178 male, 464 female). According to the result of body composition assessment, they were assigned to three groups: Normal (N, n=272), Obesity (O, n=245), Sarcopenic Obesity (SO, n=125). The lipids profile among three groups and its related factors were analyzed. Results In groups N, O and SO, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein?cholesterol (LDL?C) increased gradually (P<0.01), and the high density lipoprotein?cholesterol (HDL?C) level decreased gradually (P<0.01). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for high levels of TC, TG, LDL?C and low level of HDL?C risk increased gradually in groups N, O and SO [compared to group N, the odds ratio of the four kinds of dyslipidemia in group O were 2.617 (1.117-6.132), 3.549 (1.481-8.503), 4.618 (1.288-16.564), 1.222 (0.529-2.822), respectively, and in group SO were 5.915 (2.512-13.926), 10.430 (4.400-24.722), 9.522 (2.637-34.388) , 4.253 (1.957-9.242) , respectively]. After adjusting for age, sex, waist?to?hip ratio and visceral fat area, the odds ratio for high level of TG risk still increased gradually in group N, O and SO [compared to group N, the odds ratio of group O was 3.565 (1.319-9.632), and of group SO was 8.173 (2.685-24.881)]. Moreover, the odds ratio for high TC and low HDL?C levels of group SO were higher than those of group N [compared to group N, the odds ratio in group SO were 5.658 (1.871-17.111), 6.823 (2.119-21.969) respectively]. With stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis, for male, the related factors for high levels of TC, TG and low level of HDL?C were high percentage of body fat;sarcopenia, sarcopenia obesity;sarcopenia, respectively. For female, the related factors for high levels of TC, TG and LDL?C were sarcopenia, aging;high percrntage of body fat, aging;sarcopenia, aging, respectively. Conclusion SO was the main risk factor for dyslipidemia in young and middle?aged adults, even more severe than obesity alone and sarcopenia was the risk factor of high TG, low HDL?C levels for male;and the risk factor of high TC, high LDL?C levels for female.
