Ovariectomy (OVX)-induced estrogen withdrawal resulted in both bone loss and an increase in fat. We observed elevated osteoclast (OC) formation by bone marrow-derived macrophages treated with medium conditioned by fats from OVX mice, but not from sham-operated mice. Fats from OVX mice expressed and secreted higher levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) than those from sham-operated mice. Increased fat resulting from estrogen deficiency is thus responsible for bone loss due to enhanced OC formation, which is, at least partly, a consequence of elevated MCP-1 production.
卵巢切除术(OVX)引起的雌激素缺乏会导致骨质流失和脂肪增加。我们观察到,用来自 OVX 小鼠而非假手术小鼠的脂肪处理骨髓来源的巨噬细胞后,破骨细胞(OC)的形成增加。OVX 小鼠的脂肪表达和分泌的单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)水平高于假手术小鼠。由于雌激素缺乏导致的脂肪增加是由于 OC 形成增强导致骨质流失的原因,至少部分原因是 MCP-1 产生增加的结果。
