Abstract

We have previously shown that co-administration of the transient osteoclast inhibitor, salmon calcitonin (sCT), blunts the anabolic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in young rats and increases osteocytic expression of the bone formation inhibitor sclerostin ( Sost ). To determine whether this also occurs in adult animals, we co-administered sCT with PTH to 6-month-old sham-operated (SHAM) and ovariectomised (OVX) rats. While sCT reduced the stimulatory effect of PTH on serum amino-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen levels, in contrast to its influence in young rats, sCT did not reduce the anabolic effect of PTH on femoral bone mineral density, tibial trabecular bone volume or bone formation rate in 6-month-old SHAM or OVX rats. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of femoral metaphyses collected 1 and 4 h after a single PTH injection confirmed a significant increase in mRNA levels for interleukin 6 ( Il6 ) and ephrinB2 ( EfnB2 ), and a significant reduction in Sost and dentin matrix protein-1 ( Dmp1 ) in response to PTH. However, in contrast to observations in young rats, these effects were not modified by co-administration of sCT, nor did sCT significantly modify Sost , Dmp1 , or matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein ( Mepe ) mRNA levels. Furthermore, while CT receptor (CTR) mRNA ( Calcr ) was readily detected in GFP+ osteocytes isolated from young (3-week-old) DMP1–GFP mice, Calcr levels in osteocytes declined as mice aged, reaching levels that were undetectable in long bone at 49 weeks of age. These data indicate that osteocyte-mediated responses to CT are most likely to be of physiological relevance in young rodents.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Calcr mRNA was expressed in osteocytes isolated from 3-week-old mice, declined with age, and was undetectable at 49 weeks.

    “Calcr mRNA was expressed in osteocytes isolated from 3-wk-old mice, but its level declined as mice aged and was undetectable at 49 wk of age.”

    From The Activity of Peptides of the Calcitonin Family in Bone (2019) · cites this paper as [79]

    The Results report Calcr mRNA in osteocytes from 3-week-old mice and declining levels with age. At 49 weeks, however, it was undetectable in long-bone osteocytes but still detected in calvarial osteocytes; the claim omits that distinction. (LLM, conf=0.91)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Calcitonin activity in osteocytes is likely to be physiologically relevant in young rodents.

    “The authors concluded that the activity of calcitonin in osteocytes is likely to be physiologically relevant in young rodents (79).”

    From The Activity of Peptides of the Calcitonin Family in Bone (2019) · cites this paper as [79]

  • Osteocytes express specific calcitonin receptors, which are progressively lost with age.

    “Osteocytes express specific calcitonin receptors, which are progressively lost with age.106”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
