Abstract

Treatment with hydrogen sulfide mitigates spinal cord injury-induced sublesional bone loss, possibly through abating oxidative stress, suppressing MMP activity, and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced sublesional bone loss represents the most severe osteoporosis and is resistant to available treatments to data. The present study was undertaken to explore the therapeutic potential of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) against osteoporosis in a rodent model of motor complete SCI. SCI was generated by surgical transaction of the cord at the T3-T4 levels in rats. Treatment with NaHS was initiated through intraperitoneal injection of 0.1 ml/kg/day of 0.28 mol/l NaHS from 12 h following the surgery and over 14 subsequent days. H2S levels in plasma of SCI rats were lower, which was restored by treatment with exogenous H2S. Treatment of SCI rats with exogenous H2S had no significant effect on body mass but increased bone mineral density in femurs and tibiae, increased BV/TV, Tb.Th, and Tb.N and reduced Tb.Sp in proximal tibiae, and increased mineral apposition rate (MAR), bone formation rate (BFR), and osteoblast surface and reduced eroded surface and osteoclast surface in proximal tibiae. More importantly, H2S treatment led to a significant enhancement in ultimate load, stiffness, and energy to max force of femoral diaphysis. Treatment of SCI rats with exogenous H2S reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in serum and femurs, decreased hydroxyproline levels, suppressed activities of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), and upregulated Wnt3a, Wnt6, Wnt10, and ctnnb1 expression in femurs. Treatment with H2S mitigates SCI-induced sublesional bone loss, possibly through abating oxidative stress, suppressing MMP activity, and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 September 2016.
All research outputs
#20,340,423
of 22,886,568 outputs
Outputs from Osteoporosis International
#2,969
of 3,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,928
of 336,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Osteoporosis International
#53
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,886,568 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,615 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,829 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
