To determine if increased cortical bone expansion could also contribute to the increased B.Ar observed in 36-wk Lgals3-deficient animals,we measured changes in cortical bone parameters byμCT.These results are shown in Supplementary Table 5.We observed a significant increase in total area(T.Ar)of both male and female Lgals3KO/KOfemurs(Fig.3d,g)starting at36 wk(+6.5%and+10.7%,respectively).Lgals3KO/KOfemales also had significantly increased T.Ar at 48 wk(+8.8%).Male Lgals3KO/+mice also had significantly increased T.Ar at 36 wk(+8.8%).In addition,B.Ar was increased at 36 wk which was significant in Lgals3KO/KOfemales(+9.9%),but failed to reach significance in Lgals3KO/KOmales(Fig.3e,h).The smaller cortical bone mass effect observed in Lgals3-deficient males may be related to a skeletal growth deficit in young Lgals3KO/+(T.Ar;-5.1%and B.Ar;-4.0%)and Lgals3KO/KO(T.Ar;-7.9%and B.Ar;-8.1%)mice at 12 wk(Fig.3g,h),although these results did not reach statistical significance.Young female Lgals3-deficient mice had mostly normal or slightly elevated cortical bone parameters at 12 wk,which suggested that galectin-3 may play a role in male bone mass accrual during early development.
