Summary:

2. Proton‑Activated Chloride Channel Increases Endplate Porosity and Pain in a Mouse Spine Degeneration Model

Highlights:

  • Acidic microenvironment in spinal degeneration activates the PAC channel, upregulated during osteoclastogenesis via RANKL/NFATc1.

  • Activated PAC promotes osteoclast fusion, increasing endplate porosity, nerve innervation, and pain behaviors.

  • PAC knockout mice show normalized endplate structure and reduced mechanical hypersensitivity, suggesting PAC as a therapeutic target for spinal pain.

 3. Cachexia in Preclinical Rheumatoid Arthritis: Longitudinal Observational Study of Thigh MRI from Osteoarthritis Initiative Cohort

Study Design and Results:

  • 102 Pre‑RA subjects vs. 306 matched controls assessed via thigh MRI at baseline and after 2 years.

  • Pre‑RA group experienced significantly greater muscle atrophy: ΔCSA ≈ ‑180 mm² over 2 years (P < 0.001).

  • Intermuscular adipose tissue (Inter‑MAT) increased by ≈+150 mm² in Pre‑RA (P < 0.001), while total adipose changes were non‑significant onlinelibrary.wiley.com+5pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+5onlinelibrary.wiley.com+5.

  • Conclusion: Muscle wasting and fat infiltration—markers of cachexia—are present in preclinical RA.

4. Thigh Muscle Composition Changes in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients During Weight Loss: Sex‑Specific Analysis Using OAI Data

Findings:

  • Both sexes showed improved muscle quality during weight loss, with decreases in intramuscular fat and increases in contractile tissue.

  • Female patients had smaller improvements—less reduction in intramuscular fat and smaller contractile increases compared to males.

 5. Unloading‑Induced Skeletal Interoception Alters Hypothalamic Signaling to Promote Bone Loss and Fat Metabolism

  • Authors: Guo Q, Chen N, Patel K, Wan M, Zheng J, Xu Cao, et al.

  • Journal: Advanced Science

  • Publication Date: December 15, 2023

  • DOI: 10.1002/advs.202305042 jci.org

Synopsis:

  • Using hindlimb unloading in mice to simulate unloading conditions (e.g., microgravity).

  • Reduction in skeletal PGE₂/EP4 leads to decreased hypothalamic NPY and TH expression, increasing sympathetic output.

  • Consequent bone loss and enhanced fat metabolism demonstrate central circuit involvement in skeletal and metabolic adaptation.

Conclusion

Prof. Xu Cao is not only suitable but ideal for the Best Researcher Award in the domain of interoception and musculoskeletal research. His work exemplifies the highest standards of innovation, scientific rigor, and translational relevance. His pioneering contributions to skeletal-brain communication have reshaped how we understand bone biology, pain, and systemic metabolism.
