AbstractLeptin, a major hormonal product of the adipocyte, regulates appetite and reproductive function through its hypothalamic receptors. The leptin receptor is present in osteoblasts and chondrocytes, and previously we have shown leptin to be an anabolic bone factor in vitro, stimulating osteoblast proliferation and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Leptin increases bone mass and reduces bone fragility when administered peripherally but also can indirectly reduce bone mass when administered into the central nervous system. However, data from animal models deficient in either leptin (ob/ob) or its receptor (db/db) remain contradictory. We compared the bone phenotype of leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) and wild-type mice using micro-computed tomographic (microCT) analysis of the proximal tibias and vertebrae. In the tibia, db/db mice had reduced percent trabecular bone volume (13.0 +/- 1.62% in wild-type versus 6.01 +/- 0.601% in db/db mice, p = .002) and cortical bone volume (411 +/- 21.5 microm(3) versus 316 +/- 3.53 microm(3), p = .0014), trabecular thickness (48.4 +/- 001.07 microm versus 45.1 +/- 0.929 microm, p = .041) and trabecular number (2.68 +/- 0.319 mm(-1) versus 1.34 +/- 0.148 mm(-1), p = .0034). In the fifth lumbar vertebral body, the trabecular thickness and cortical thickness were decreased in the db/db versus wild-type mice (0.053 +/- 0.0011 mm versus 0.047 +/- 0.0013 mm, p = .0002 and 0.062 +/- 0.00054 mm versus 0.056 +/- 0.0009 mm, p = .0001), respectively, whereas the trabecular and cortical percent bone volume and trabecular number did not reach significance. The total (endosteal and periosteal) cortical perimeter (12.2 +/- 0.19 mm versus 13.2 +/- 0.30 mm, p = .01) was increased. The serum osteocalcin levels were reduced in the db/db mice, suggesting that bone formation rates are decreased. The material properties of db/db femurs were determined by three-point bending and nanoindentation, showing decreased bone strength (13.3 +/- 0.280 N versus 7.99 +/- 0.984 N, p = .0074) and material stiffness (28.5 +/- 0.280 GPa versus 25.8 +/- 0.281 GPa, p < .0001). These results demonstrate that bone mass and strength are reduced in the absence of leptin signaling, indicating that leptin acts in vivo as an anabolic bone factor. This concurs with results of in vitro studies and of peripheral leptin administration in vivo and suggests that leptin's direct effects on bone cells are likely to override its actions via the central nervous system.
