abstract = {Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor
neuron disease. Emerging evidence suggests manifestations
beyond the neuromuscular system. Bone alterations are part
of the ALS clinical picture; it remains unclear whether they
are secondary to muscle denervation or due to an autonomous
process. We investigated skeletal involvement in the
SOD1(G93A) mouse model at presymptomatic (P45) and
symptomatic (P110) stages through biomechanical and
transcriptomic approaches. Three-point bending revealed
significant reductions in femoral rigidity and maximum
bending force in SOD1 mutants at P45, indicating early
structural deficits. Micro-CT analysis demonstrated reduced
trabecular bone mineral density and thickness at P45, with
progressive trabecular loss and cortical thinning by P110.
Histological examination revealed marked osteoblast loss at
P45, suggesting impaired bone formation as the primary early
mechanism. Transcriptomics of bulk bone and cultured
osteoblasts from P45 mice identified dysregulation of bone
differentiation, including downregulation of osteoblast
differentiation genes and upregulation of negative
regulators of ossification and increased cell senescence
signatures. Unfolded protein response was upregulated in
SOD1 osteoblasts. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the
senescence phenotype with increased p16Ink4a level in SOD1
osteoblasts. These findings suggest that bone deterioration
precedes overt motor symptoms and is linked to osteoblast
premature senescence.},
