Abstract

Abstract Disuse osteoporosis, caused by mechanical unloading, is linked to dysregulated TGFβ and BMP signaling. This study explores their roles and evaluates BMP9 as a potential therapy. A hindlimb unloading (HLU) mouse model was used to assess bone changes and signaling alterations. In vitro, a Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS) with 3D printing simulated microgravity. BMP9 was overexpressed in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and osteocytes treated with TGFβ1. HLU mice showed reduced bone density, microstructural integrity, and dysregulated signaling (increased p-Smad2/3, decreased p-Smad1/5
