Osteoclasts in bone regeneration under type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects hundreds of million people worldwide and the impaired bone healing is an important DM-related complication. Understanding how DM affects the activities of osteoclasts and the underlying mechanisms is crucial to the development of effective approaches for accelerating bone healing in DM condition. To date, however, the influence of DM on osteoclasts remains obscure and controversial. In this study, we established a type 2 DM (T2DM) alveolar bone defect model, which closely simulates the pathogenesis of human T2DM, to explore the diabetic osteoclast activity during bone regeneration. We found that a high glucose concentration diminished the formation of osteoclasts, and the differentiation and function of osteoclasts from T2DM rats were suppressed. The degradat
