Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic triggered significant disruptions in health care systems around the world, with a particularly heavy impact on patients with chronic diseases. A number of studies have shown an immediate decrease in on-time denosumab therapy at the start of COVID-19 pandemic. However, independent of the "emergency" that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are other situations in which denosumab is discontinued. In such situations, it is important to have a programmed strategy to optimize care while limiting the risk for unwanted outcomes.

Henze M, Stuckey BGA. Endocrine consequences of breast cancer therapy and survivorship. Climacteric 2024:1-7. [PMID: 38867405 DOI: 10.1080/13697137.2024.2354725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Breast cancer survivorship is increasing, due to earlier diagnosis of the disease and more effective therapies. Long-term endocrine sequelae, including early menopause, bone health, fertility implications and menopausal symptoms, are important survivorship issues. Ovarian failure is common with chemotherapy and options for preserving fertility in young women include ovarian suppression during chemotherapy and oocyte or embryo cryopreservation before chemotherapy. Tamoxifen as adjunct therapy in premenopausal women leads to ovarian stimulation, sometimes ovulation and occasionally pregnancy with important teratogenic implications. Aromatase inhibitor therapy with or without gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist leads to profound bone loss and anti-resorptive therapy is advised to prevent fracture. Tamoxifen acts to preserve bone in postmenopausal women but not premenopausal women. Pregnancy is not discouraged in young women with early breast cancer, even to the point of pausing adjunct therapy in order to conceive. However, menopausal hormone therapy is discouraged even years later. Non-hormonal therapy for menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors is available but, in some cases, estrogen-containing therapy may be worthy of consideration for quality of life in the informed patient.

Abstract
Rebound bone loss following denosumab discontinuation is an important clinical challenge. Current treatment strategies to prevent this fail to suppress the rise and overshoot in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. In this study, we use a murine model of denosumab treatment and discontinuation to show the temporal changes in osteoclast formation and activity during RANKL inhibition and withdrawal. We show that the cellular processes that drive the formation of osteoclasts and subsequent bone resorption following withdrawal of RANKL inhibition precede the rebound bone loss. Furthermore, a rise in serum TRAP and RANKL levels is detected before markers of bone turnover used in current clinical practice. These mechanistic advances may provide insight into a more defined window of opportunity to intervene with sequential therapy following denosumab discontinuation.

Abstract
CONTEXT Denosumab is an effective treatment for many receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-mediated disorders but there are potential safety considerations and limited data to guide its use in children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE This document seeks to summarize the evidence and provide expert opinion on safe and appropriate use of denosumab in pediatric RANKL-mediated disorders. PARTICIPANTS Ten experts in pediatric bone and mineral medicine from 6 countries with experience in the use of denosumab participated in the creation of this document. EVIDENCE Data were sourced from the published literature, primarily consisting of case reports/series and review articles because of the lack of higher level evidence. Expert opinion of the authors was used substantially when no published data were available. CONCLUSION Denosumab is an effective treatment for RANKL-mediated disorders in children and adolescents but is often not curative and, in some cases, is best used in conjunction with surgical or other medical treatments. Careful multidisciplinary planning is required to define the goals of treatment and expert oversight needed to manage the risk of mineral abnormalities. Substantive, collaborative research efforts are needed to determine optimal treatment regimens and minimize risks.

The relationship between length of denosumab treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis and serum TRAcP5b measured six months after the last injection. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:365-370. [PMID: 37783758 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06931-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
To test the hypothesis that during treatment with denosumab osteomorphs and precursors recycle to higher number of osteoclasts with time, we measured TRAcP5b in serum taken 6 months after the last injection in postmenopausal women treated for 1-10 years. Serum TRAcP5b values were not related to time of exposure to denosumab. PURPOSE In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis the aetiology of the observed inverse relationship between duration of denosumab (Dmab) therapy and bone loss after its discontinuation is currently unknown. In studies in mice inhibition of RANKL is associated with an increase in osteomorphs and osteoclast precursors that recycle into osteoclasts and may accumulate with time. We hypothesized that longer inhibition of RANKL by Dmab will be followed by the synchronous formation of a larger number of osteoclasts after stopping treatment. To test this hypothesis, we measured serum TRAcP5b, a marker of osteoclast numbers, in postmenopausal women treated with Dmab for different periods of time up to 10 years. METHODS TRAcP5b, C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) were measured at 6.0 months ± 15 days after last Dmab injection in 59 women who had received Dmab for 4.0 ± 2.3 years (range 1-10 years). Of these, 38 were treatment naïve (group 1) and 21 had received other treatments prior Dmab (group 2). RESULTS Duration of Dmab treatment was not related to serum TRAcP5b values or to TRAcP5b/CTX ratio either in the whole cohort or in each of the two groups separately. In contrast, serum TRAcP5b values were significantly correlated with serum CTX values (rs = 0.619; p < 0.001), but not with serum P1NP values or BMD at all skeletal sites. CONCLUSION Our observations indicate that serum TRAcP5b, measured at 6 months after a Dmab injection, is not a useful early marker for time-dependent increased accumulation of osteoclasts in humans and for identification of patients at risk for a higher rebound increase in bone resorption.

An LGR4 agonist activates the GSK‑3β pathway to inhibit RANK‑RANKL signaling during osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow‑derived macrophages. Int J Mol Med 2024; 53:10.

Abstract
The binding between receptor‑activated nuclear factor‑κB (RANK) and the RANK ligand (RANKL) during osteoclast development is an important target for drugs that treat osteoporosis. The leucine‑rich repeat‑containing G‑protein‑coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) acts as a negative regulator of RANK‑RANKL that suppresses canonical RANK signaling during osteoclast differentiation. Therefore, LGR4 agonists may be useful in inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and effectively treating osteoporosis. In the present study, bone marrow‑derived macrophages and a mouse model of RANKL‑induced bone loss were used to investigate the effect of mutant RANKL (MT RANKL), which was previously developed based on the crystal structure of the RANKL complex. In the present study, the binding affinity of wild‑type (WT) RANKL and MT RANKL to RANK and LGR4 was determined using microscale thermophoresis analysis, and the effect of the ligands on the AKT‑glycogen synthase kinase‑3β (GSK‑3β)‑nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin‑dependent 1 (NFATc1) signaling cascade was investigated using western blotting and confocal microscopy. In addition, the expression of LGR4 and the colocalization of LGR4 with MT RANKL were analyzed in a mouse model of RANKL‑induced bone loss. The results showed that in osteoclast precursor cells, MT RANKL bound with high affinity to LGR4 and increased GSK‑3β phosphorylation independently of AKT, resulting in the inhibition of NFATc1 nuclear translocation. In the mouse model, MT RANKL colocalized with LGR4 and inhibited bone resorption. These results indicated that MT RANKL may inhibit RANKL‑induced osteoclastogenesis through an LGR4‑dependent pathway and this could be exploited to develop new therapies for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are the primary target for osteoporosis drug development. Recent animal studies revealed the crucial roles of osteoblasts in regulating osteoclastogenesis and the longer lifespans of osteoclasts than previously thought with fission and recycling. However, existing culture platforms are limited to replicating these newly identified cellular processes. We report a demineralized bone paper (DBP)-based osteoblast culture and osteoclast assay platform that replicates osteoclast fusion, fission, resorption, and apoptosis with high fidelity and analytical power. An osteoid-inspired DBP supports rapid and structural mineral deposition by osteoblasts. Coculture osteoblasts and bone marrow monocytes under biochemical stimulation recapitulate osteoclast differentiation and function. The DBP-based bone model allows longitudinal quantitative fluorescent monitoring of osteoclast responses to bisphosphonate drug, substantiating significantly reducing their number and lifespan. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of humanizing the bone model. The DBP-based osteo assay platforms are expected to advance bone remodeling-targeting drug development with improved prediction of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
This joint report from the Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (SIOT) and the Italian Society of Periodontology and Implantology (SIdP) aims for a consensus around the scientific rationale and clinical strategy for the management of osteoporotic patients affected by periodontitis who are undergoing anti-resorptive (AR) therapy to manage the risk of the occurrence of a medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). Osteoporosis and periodontitis are chronic diseases with a high prevalence in aging patients, and they share some of the same pathogenetic mechanisms based upon inflammation. Available evidence shows the relationship among osteoporosis, AR agents, periodontitis and implant therapy in relation to the incidence of MRONJ. Uncontrolled periodontitis may lead to tooth loss and to the need to replace teeth with dental implants. Tooth extraction and surgical dental procedures are recognized as the main risk factors for developing MRONJ in individuals taking AR therapy for osteometabolic conditions. Although the incidence of MRONJ in osteometabolic patients taking AR therapy may be as low as 0.9%, the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis and the high prevalence of periodontitis suggest that this potential complication should not be overlooked. Good clinical practice (GCP) guidelines are proposed that aim at a more integrated approach (prescriber, dentist, periodontist and dental hygienist) in the management of periodontitis patients undergoing AR therapy for osteometabolic disorders to reduce the risk of MRONJ. Dental professional and prescribers should educate patients regarding the potential risk associated with the long-term use of AR therapy and oral health behavior.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent disease that has become a public health problem. Progression of CKD is associated with serious complications, including the systemic CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Laboratory, bone and vascular abnormalities define this condition, and all have been independently related to cardiovascular disease and high mortality rates. The "old" cross-talk between kidney and bone (classically known as "renal osteodystrophies") has been recently expanded to the cardiovascular system, emphasizing the importance of the bone component of CKD-MBD. Moreover, a recently recognized higher susceptibility of patients with CKD to falls and bone fractures led to important paradigm changes in the new CKD-MBD guidelines. Evaluation of bone mineral density and the diagnosis of "osteoporosis" emerges in nephrology as a new possibility "if results will impact clinical decisions". Obviously, it is still reasonable to perform a bone biopsy if knowledge of the type of renal osteodystrophy will be clinically useful (low versus high turnover-bone disease). However, it is now considered that the inability to perform a bone biopsy may not justify withholding antiresorptive therapies to patients with high risk of fracture. This view adds to the effects of parathyroid hormone in CKD patients and the classical treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. The availability of new antiosteoporotic treatments bring the opportunity to come back to the basics, and the knowledge of new pathophysiological pathways [OPG/RANKL (LGR4); Wnt-ß-catenin pathway], also affected in CKD, offers great opportunities to further unravel the complex physiopathology of CKD-MBD and to improve outcomes.

Whyte MP, McAlister WH, Dhiman V, Gopinathan NR, Bhadada SK. Drug-induced osteopetrosis. Bone 2023:116788. [PMID: 37172883 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Osteopetrosis (OPT) denotes the consequences from failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone and chondroclasts to remove calcified physeal cartilage throughout growth. Resulting impairment of skeletal modeling, remodeling, and growth compromises widening of medullary spaces, formation of the skull, and expansion of cranial foramina. Thus, myelophthisic anemia, raised intracranial pressure, and cranial nerve palsies complicate OPT when severe. Osteopetrotic bones fracture due to misshaping, failure of remodeling to weave the collagenous matrix of cortical osteons and trabeculae, persistence of mineralized growth plate cartilage, "hardening" of hydroxyapatite crystals, and delayed healing of skeletal microcracks. Teeth may fail to erupt. Now it is widely appreciated that OPT is caused by germline loss-of-function mutation(s) usually of genes involved in osteoclast function, but especially rarely of genes necessary for osteoclast formation. Additionally, however, in 2003 we published a case report demonstrating that prolonged excessive dosing during childhood of the antiresorptive aminobisphosphonate pamidronate can sufficiently block osteoclast and chondroclast activity to recapitulate the skeletal features of OPT. Herein, we include further evidence of drug-induced OPT by illustrating osteopetrotic skeletal changes from repeated administration of high doses of the aminobisphosphonate zoledronic acid (zoledronate) given to children with osteogenesis imperfecta.

The Role of Sympathetic Nerves in Osteoporosis: A Narrative Review. Biomedicines 2022; 11:biomedicines11010033. [PMID: 36672541 PMCID: PMC9855775 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11010033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis, a systemic bone disease, is characterized by decreased bone density due to various reasons, destructed bone microstructure, and increased bone fragility. The incidence of osteoporosis is very high among the elderly, and patients with osteoporosis are prone to suffer from spine fractures and hip fractures, which cause great harm to patients. Meanwhile, osteoporosis is mainly treated with anti-osteoporosis drugs that have side effects. Therefore, the development of new treatment modalities has a significant clinical impact. Sympathetic nerves play an important role in various physiological activities and the regulation of osteoporosis as well. Therefore, the role of sympathetic nerves in osteoporosis was reviewed, aiming to provide information for future targeting of sympathetic nerves in osteoporosis.
