Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying emphysema and osteoporosis have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of short- and long-term cigarette smoke (CS) exposure on bone metabolism, structure and histological changes in a mouse model of CS-induced emphysema. And we examined the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on the osteoclast-like cell in vitro. In vivo, both bone resorption and formation markers were significantly decreased in short-term CS-exposed mice. However, those are inversely increased in long-term CS-exposed mice compared to air controls, implying a dynamic shift of bone metabolism from low- toward high-turnover. Bone volume of CS-exposed mice was increased, but bone histomorphometric analysis revealed the increase of osteoclasts. In vitro, CSE directly impaired the differentiation of osteoclast-like cells, this findings partly explain a phenomenon observed in vivo short-term CS exposed mice.
