Comparative Analysis of Bone Structural Parameters Reveals Subchondral Cortical Plate Resorption and Increased Trabecular Bone Remodeling in Human Facet Joint Osteoarthritis

Abstract: Facet joint osteoarthritis is a prominent feature of degenerative spine disorders, highly prevalent in ageing populations, and considered a major cause for chronic lower back pain. Since there is no targeted pharmacological therapy, clinical management of disease includes analgesic or surgical treatment. The specific cellular, molecular, and structural changes underpinning facet joint osteoarthritis remain largely elusive. The aim of this study was to determine osteoarthritis-related structural alterations in … Show more

“…These results are also fully in line with the demonstration that the crucial effect of PTH (1-34) is to improve only the “dynamic” bone formation instead of the “static” one during bone repair in transcortical holes experimentally drilled in rat femur [47]. On the contrary, in some pathologies, like facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), remodeling of the subchondral trabecular bone compartment is characterized by increased trabecular number, rather than trabecular thickening [48]; this observation can be explained with the impairment of viability of osteocytes (i.e., the bone mechanosensor) inside the trabecular bone due to osteoarthritis, so that static osteogenesis (instead of dynamic one) is activated, through the recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells by endothelial-derived growth factors, giving rise to the formation of new trabeculae. Moreover, Kumabe and coworkers [43] showed that the administration of PTH (1–34) increases union rate and accelerates bone healing in rat refractory fracture models, suggesting that such a drug could become a useful therapy for accelerating fracture healing in patients at high risk of delayed union or nonunion.…”

“…30 Evaluation of histological changes in articular cartilage is an important way to comprehend the progression of OA. 38,39 In the present study, we assessed the 3D characteristics and morphology changes of cartilage and subchondral bone to illuminate the influence of BMSCs-exosomes on LFJ-OA. On the basis of a PPCT imaging, a loss of integrity of the osteochondral junction was detected after LFJ-OA induction, chartered as reduced cartilage thickness and volume, decreased surface area, and architectural destruction in the subchondral bone.…”
