Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the in vitro biocompatibility of human gingival fibroblasts with preformed paediatric crowns and resistance to acid exposure at levels that simulate the oral environment. METHODS This laboratory study investigated primary HGFs viability, metabolic activity, cytotoxicity, and apoptotic events on preformed metal crown discs, composite resin-coated wells, and monolithic zirconia fragments at 24, 48, and 72 h using the ApoTox-Glo Triplex assay. The PPCs were also immersed in 0.1% lactic acid, 0.2% phosphoric acid, or 10% citric acid for 7 days at 37 °C to reproduce conditions associated with dietary intake or gastric reflux. Samples were then subject to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry to quantitate the release of ions. RESULTS The viability of HGFs on stainless steel and CR significantly declined at 48 and 72 h, representing potential cytotoxicity (p < 0.05). Cytotoxicity of HGFs was also higher for stainless steel and ZR compared to control (p < 0.05). PMCs and ZR crowns gave minimal ion release. Meanwhile, significant quantities of metallic ions, including copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn), were present in eluates from veneered-preformed metal crowns. CONCLUSION As PPCs can be exposed to highly acidic environments for many years, thus the release of metallic ions from V-PMCs should form the further investigation in future studies.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of zoledronate (ZA) and compressive force, separately and in combination, on the proliferation and differentiation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) to verify the mechanism underlying medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The addition of 100 µM ZA markedly inhibited cell proliferation. Expression of type I collagen, fibroblast growth factor 2, and connective tissue growth factor genes, was decreased by ZA and compressive force. Similar results were observed for collagen expression by using Sirius red staining. These results, together with clinical findings that MRONJ is more common in cases with excessive mechanical stress on the oral mucosa, suggest that bisphosphonates such as ZA and mechanical stress may act in conjunction as risk factors for the development of MRONJ by affecting homeostasis of the oral mucosal tissues, including HGFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates (BP), a commonly used medication for various bone diseases, have been known to have severe complications such as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Failure of dental implants has also been found in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). In this study, we analyzed the necrotic bone tissues and the surface of the failed implants removed from the jaw in patients treated with BPs and antiresorptive agents. RESULTS Chronic inflammatory cells with collagen and fibrous tissues and bone sequestrum were shown at 5.0 × , 10.0 × , 20.0 × , and 40.0 × magnified histologic sections in the bone and fibrotic scar tissues removed from patients with MRONJ due to osteonecrosis. Hardened bone tissues with microcracked bony resorbed lacunae were observed in SEM. Unlike the previously published comparative data where immune cells, such as dendritic cells, were found in the failed implant surface, these immune cells were not identified in the BRONJ-related peri-implantitis tissues through the TEM investigations. Furthermore, EDS revealed that in addition to the main titanium element, gold, carbon, oxygen, calcium, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur elements were found. CONCLUSION Hardened bone tissues with microcracked bony resorbed lacunae were observed in the SEM findings, which were considered as the main characteristic of the osteonecrosis of the jaw. Immune cells, such as dendritic cells were not identified in the TEM. EDS showed that in addition to the main titanium element, gold, carbon, oxygen, calcium, phosphorus, and silicon elements were found. Furthermore, it was revealed that sulfur was found, which was considered to be one of the complicated causes of implant failure in patients with BRONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive dental treatment in patients exposed to antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs can cause medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Currently, the exact pathogenesis of this disease is unclear. METHODS In March 2022, Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Scopus, and Web of Science were screened to identify eligible in vitro studies investigating the effects of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic compounds on orally derived cells. RESULTS Fifty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria. Bisphosphonates were used in 57 studies, denosumab in two, and sunitinib and bevacizumab in one. Zoledronate was the most commonly used nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate. The only non-nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate studied was clodronate. The most frequently tested tissues were gingival fibroblasts, oral keratinocytes, and alveolar osteoblasts. These drugs caused a decrease in cell proliferation, viability, and migration. CONCLUSIONS Antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs displayed cytotoxic effects in a dose and time-dependent manner. Additional research is required to further elucidate the pathways of MRONJ.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates lead to the depletion of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate involved in the mevalonate pathway. The effect of geranylgeraniol (GGOH) on human osteoblast and osteoclast activities suppressed by zoledronate was investigated in this study. The effect of GGOH on human osteoblasts and osteoclasts subjected to treatment with zoledronate was analyzed by assessing cell viability, osteoclast differentiation, resorption ability, gene expression, and protein synthesis. Cell viability suppressed by bisphosphonates in osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells was restored with GGOH. Osteoclast differentiation was analyzed by vitronectin receptor immunofluorescence staining, and the addition of GGOH to zoledronate significantly increased osteoclast differentiation compared with zoledronate alone. A trend of reversal of osteoclast resorption by GGOH was observed; however, it was not significant in all groups. The expression of ALP, type 1 collagen, and RUNX2 in osteoblasts was recovered by the addition of GGOH. Only CALCR expression in osteoclasts was significantly recovered by GGOH addition in the zoledronate group. Although the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts were not entirely restored, the possibility that the topical application of GGOH in MRONJ patients or patients with dental problems and bisphosphonates might lessen the risk of development and recurrence of MRONJ is shown.

Abstract
The use of quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT2-PCR) for the identification of differentially regulated genes is a powerful technology. The protocol presented here uses qRT2-PCR gene arrays to investigate the regulation of 84 angiogenic related genes in human primary alveolar osteoblasts following treatment with the bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid, and geranylgeraniol (GGOH). GGOH has potential as a therapeutic agent for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, a serious side effect resulting from treatment for metastatic cancer (Zafar S, Coates DE, Cullinan MP, Drummond BK, Milne T, Seymour GJ. J Oral Pathol Med 43:711-721, 2014). The isolation of the primary osteoblast cells follows the methods described by Dillon et al. (Method Mol Biol 816:3-18, 2012) with a new RNA extraction technique described fully. The method highlights the importance of obtaining high-quality RNA which is DNA-free. Relative levels of gene expression are normalized against selected reference genes (HKG) and a number of examples of how fold regulation (2-ΔΔCq) and gene expression level (2-ΔCq) data can be presented are given.

Abstract
Isoprenoids are the output of the polymerization of five-carbon, branched isoprenic chains derived from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and its isomer, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). Isoprene units are consecutively condensed to form longer structures such as farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (FPP and GGPP, respectively), necessary for the biosynthesis of several metabolites. Polyprenyl transferases and synthases use polyprenyl pyrophosphates as their natural substrates; however, it is known that free polyprenols, such as farnesol (FOH), and geranylgeraniol (GGOH) can be incorporated into prenylated proteins, ubiquinone, cholesterol, and dolichols. Furthermore, FOH and GGOH have been shown to block the effects of isoprenoid biosynthesis inhibitors such as fosmidomycin, bisphosphonates, or statins in several organisms. This phenomenon is the consequence of a short pathway, which was observed for the first time more than 25 years ago: the polyprenol salvage pathway, which works via the phosphorylation of FOH and GGOH. Biochemical studies in bacteria, animals, and plants suggest that this pathway can be carried out by two enzymes: a polyprenol kinase and a polyprenyl-phosphate kinase. However, to date, only a few genes have been unequivocally identified to encode these enzymes in photosynthetic organisms. Nevertheless, pieces of evidence for the importance of this pathway abound in studies related to infectious diseases, cancer, dyslipidemias, and nutrition, and to the mitigation of the secondary effects of several drugs. Furthermore, nowadays it is known that both FOH and GGOH can be incorporated via dietary sources that produce various biological effects. This review presents, in a simplified but comprehensive manner, the most important data on the FOH and GGOH salvage pathway, stressing its biomedical importance The main objective of this review is to bring to light the need to discover and characterize the kinases associated with the isoprenoid salvage pathway in animals and pathogens.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are drugs used to treat bone disorders. The chronic use of bisphosphonates is associated with the occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Previous data reported the positive effects of Geranylgeraniol on different cell types treated with Bisphosphonates. Foregoing work done by our research group demonstrated the wound healing capacity of Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G.Lohmann standardized ethanol extract. Herein in vitro cytoprotective synergistic effect of the association of F. chica extract associated with an enriched geranylgeraniol fraction on keratinocytes exposed to zoledronic acid is reported. An association of F. chica at 1 and 5 µg/mL with geranylgeraniol at 15 µg/mL, increased cell viability by 73.5% and 71.1%, respectively. This treatment did not increase tumor cells viability; whereas the clonogenic potential assessment showed that, the association with F. chica (5 µg/mL) reversed the effects of zoledronic acid on the cells. This study provides data for a potential treatment for MRONJ.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CPFX®) is potent fluoroquinolone but has severe side effects. Cinnamon (CIN) and chia seeds are potent antioxidants. The current work aimed to compare the effect of CIN extract and chia seeds on CPFX®-treated submandibular salivary glands (SMGs). Thirty-two male albino rats were divided into four groups: Group 1: received saline. Group 2: received CPFX®. Group 3: received CIN extract after 4 h of CPFX® administration. Group 4: received ground chia seeds after 4 h of CPFX® administration. After 10 days, histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural examinations were done. Different examinations illustrated normal features of SMG in Groups 1 and 3. Group 2 showed degenerative signs. Group 4 showed normal features in some areas. Statistical results illustrated that Group 2 had highest mean vacuolation area%. Highest mean of PAS optical density (OD) was for Group 2. Concerning mercuric bromophenol blue stain OD; Group 1 showed highest mean OD. CPFX® has the deteriorative effect on SMG structure and ultrastructure. It leads to increased levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and decreased levels of total proteins. CIN extract showed more ameliorative effect compared to chia seeds.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an often-severe complication found in patients receiving bisphosphonates in the management of Paget's, osteoporosis and metastatic bone cancer. Mucosal breakdown with bone exposure is a primary clinical presentation of MRONJ linked to the inhibitory effect of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BP) on the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol (GGOH) has demonstrated a rescue effect on N-BP-treated osteoclasts but the biological effects on oral soft tissues and cells remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether GGOH could prevent bisphosphonate induced toxicity to oral mucosa cells in vitro. Primary oral fibroblasts and keratinocytes were exposed to different GGOH concentrations or GGOH in combination with two nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid (ZA) or pamidronic acid (PA), for 72 h. The metabolic activity of each cell type was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. GGOH without bisphosphonates significantly reduced the metabolic activity of oral mucosa cells. Fibroblasts treated with GGOH and ZA in combination showed a slight increase in metabolic status compared to fibroblasts treated with ZA alone, however this positive effect was not observed in keratinocytes. In the presence of PA, GGOH was unable to increase the metabolic activity of either cell type. These findings demonstrate that GGOH is toxic to oral mucosa cells and that GGOH was not able to prevent bisphosphonate induced toxicity. These data show that GGOH does not have therapeutic potential for bisphosphonate-induced soft tissue toxicity in MRONJ and the use of GGOH as an MRONJ treatment should be strongly reconsidered.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but significant adverse side effect of antiresorptive drugs. Bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ) is the most prevalent condition due to the extensive use of the drug in cancer and osteoporosis treatment. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates suppress osteoclastic resorption by inhibiting farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in the mevalonate pathway, leading to deficiency of the substrate for GTPase prenylation. The bone remodelling process is uncoupled, subsequently impairing bone healing and causing ONJ. Targeted administration of geranylgeraniol (GGOH) represents a promising approach to mitigate BRONJ because GGOH is a substrate for GTPase prenylation. In the current review, the in vitro effects of GGOH on osteoclasts, osteoblasts and other related cells of the jaw are summarised. We also present and appraise the current in vivo evidence of GGOH in managing BRONJ in animal models. Lastly, several considerations of using GGOH in the clinical management of BRONJ are highlighted. As a conclusion, GGOH is a promising topical agent to manage BRONJ, pending more research on an effective delivery system and validation from a clinical trial.

Arch Toxicol 2022; 96:1227-1255. [PMID: 35199244 DOI: 10.1007/s00204-021-03220-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Bisphosphonates are widely used as anti-resorptive agents for the treatment of various bone and joint diseases, including advanced osteoporosis, multiple myeloma, bone metastatic cancers, Paget's disease of bone, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bisphosphonates act as an anti-osteoclast via the induction of osteoclast apoptosis, resulting in a decreased rate of bone resorption. Unfortunately, there is much evidence to demonstrate that the long-term use of bisphosphonates is associated with osteonecrosis. The pathogenesis of osteonecrosis includes the death of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. In addition, the functions of endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts are impaired in osteonecrosis, leading to disruptive angiogenesis, and delayed wound healing. Osteonecrosis is most commonly found in the jawbone and the term medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has become the condition of greatest clinical concern among patients receiving bisphosphonates. Although surgical treatment is an effective strategy for the treatment of MRONJ, several non-surgical interventions for the attenuation of MRONJ have also been investigated. With the aim of increasing understanding around MRONJ, we set out to summarize and discuss the holistic effects of bisphosphonates on the bone and its surrounding tissues. In addition, non-surgical interventions for the attenuation of bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis were reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a growing problem without an effective treatment, presenting as necrotic bone sections exposed via lesions in the overlying soft tissue. There is currently a lack of clarity on how the factors involved in MRONJ development and progression contribute to disease prognosis and outcomes. Bisphosphonates (BPs), the most common cause of MRONJ, affect bone remodeling, angiogenesis, infection, inflammation and soft tissue toxicity, all of which contribute to MRONJ development. This article reviews the cellular mechanisms through which BPs contribute to MRONJ pathology, with a focus on the effects on cells of the oral mucosa. BPs have been shown to reduce cell viability, reduce proliferation, and increase apoptosis in oral keratinocytes and fibroblasts. BPs have also been demonstrated to reduce epithelial thickness and prevent epithelial formation in three-dimensional tissue engineered models of the oral mucosa. This combination of factors demonstrates how BPs lead to the reduced wound healing seen in MRONJ and begins to uncover the mechanisms through which these effects occur. The evidence presented here supports identification of targets which can be used to develop novel treatment strategies to promote soft tissue wound healing and restore mucosal coverage of exposed bone in MRONJ.

Abstract
Purpose Analysis of the influence of geranyl-geraniol (GG) addition on four bisphosphonate derivatives regarding their influence on cell viability and migration ability of bone metabolism and endothelial cells in vitro. Methods Clodronate, pamidronate, ibandronate, and zoledronate were observed with and without GG addition, for their effect on human osteoblasts (HOB), normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF), human endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), and endothelial cells of the human umbilical cord (HUVEC) using migration-, MTT-, and colony-forming cell assays. Results Data pointed to a depressing effect of all bisphosphonates on the migration ability of NHDF, EPC, and HOB. MTT assay demonstrated a decreased cell viability of HUVEC of all bisphosphonates in a 50 μM concentration and of NHDF when treated with 50 μM of clodronate, ibandronate, or zoledronate. Tested drugs showed a depressing effect on colony-forming potential of EPC even in a 5 μM concentration. GG addition demonstrated an attenuate impact on bisphosphonate effect on all primary cell cultures, respectively. Conclusion In vitro comparison showed that the addition of GG weakens the effect of all bisphosphonates examined. It supports investigations that suggest GG to be able to prevent bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BP-ONJ) in vivo. Future clinical trials may discover the local therapeutic use of GG for the prevention of BP-ONJ.

Abstract
Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and affects 7 million people worldwide. Considering the side effects and drug resistance shown by current treatments, the development of new anti-Chagas therapies is an urgent need. T. cruzi hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (TcHPRT), the key enzyme of the purine salvage pathway, is essential for the survival of trypanosomatids. Previously, we assessed the inhibitory effect of different bisphosphonates (BPs), HPRT substrate analogues, on the activity of the isolated enzyme. BPs are used as a treatment for bone diseases and growth inhibition studies on T. cruzi have associated BPs action with the farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibition. Here, we demonstrated significant growth inhibition of epimastigotes in the presence of BPs and a strong correlation with our previous results on the isolated TcHPRT, suggesting this enzyme as a possible and important target for these drugs. We also found that the parasites exhibited a delay at S phase in the presence of zoledronate pointing out enzymes involved in the cell cycle, such as TcHPRT, as intracellular targets. Moreover, we validated that micromolar concentrations of zoledronate are capable to interfere with the progression of cell infection by this parasite. Altogether, our findings allow us to propose the repositioning of zoledronate as a promising candidate against Chagas disease and TcHPRT as a new target for future rational design of antiparasitic drugs.

Abstract
Manuka oil, an essential oil derived from the Leptospermum scoparium, has been traditionally used for wound care and as a topical antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory. However, the essential oil is not well retained at mucosal sites, such as the oral cavity, where the benefits of the aforementioned properties could be utilized toward the treatment of persistent biofilms. Within this study, L. scoparium essential oil was incorporated into a semisolid emulsion for improved delivery. The safety profile of L. scoparium essential oil on human gingival fibroblasts was determined via cell viability, cytotoxicity, and caspase activation. The minimal bactericidal concentration of L. scoparium essential oil was determined, and the emulsion's antibiofilm effects visualized using confocal laser scanning microscopy. L. scoparium essential oil demonstrated a lower IC50 (0.02% at 48 h) when compared to the clinical control chlorhexidine (0.002% at 48 h) and displayed lower cumulative cytotoxicity. Higher concentrations of L. scoparium essential oil (≥ 0.1%) at 6 h resulted in higher caspase 3/7 activation, suggesting an apoptotic pathway of cell death. A minimal bactericidal concentration of 0.1% w/w was observed for 6 oral bacteria and 0.01% w/v for Porphyromonas gingivalis. Textural and rheometric analysis indicated increased stability of emulsion with a 1 : 3 ratio of L. scoparium essential oil: Oryza sativa carrier oil. The optimized 5% w/w L. scoparium essential oil emulsion showed increased bactericidal penetrative effects on Streptococci gordonii biofilms compared to oil alone and to chlorhexidine controls. This study has demonstrated the safety, formulation, and antimicrobial activity of L. scoparium essential oil emulsion for potential antibacterial applications at mucosal sites.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a condition associated with intraoral ulceration and bone necrosis induced by antiresorptive medications, such as zoledronic acid, a bisphosphonate. Previous data on Arrabidaea chica (H&B.) Verlot wound healing activity prompted the study reported herein on A. chica standardized hydro alcoholic extract in vitro cytoprotective activity data on epithelial and osteoblastic cells exposed to zoledronic acid (ZA). METHODS Primary human gingival fibroblasts and murine pre-osteoblasts were treated with ZA 10 µM together with 5 or 10 µg.mL-1 A. chica extract for 24h and 48 h. At both times, cells were submitted to viability assay and caspase 3/7 activation evaluation. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA and p=0.05. RESULTS In cell viability assay, a drastic damage effect of ZA appeared after 48 h in both epithelial (55.8%) and pre-osteoblastic cells (39.7%). When treated with ZA in combination with A. chica extract, cells showed higher viability values: 74.1%-82.3% for fibroblasts and 66% for pre-osteoblasts. Furthermore, the combined treatment presented lower caspase 3/7 activation in fibroblasts and pre-osteoblasts. CONCLUSION At low concentrations, A. chica extract showed promising cytoprotective effects against ZA-induced damage actions; however, further in vitro and in vivo studies are required to establish the mechanism of action.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a serious complication associated with bisphosphonate treatment. Zoledronic acid (ZA) is a commonly used bisphosphonate due to its effectiveness in increasing bone density and reducing skeletal events, with evidence that it alters angiogenesis. Replacement of the mevalonate pathway using geranylgeraniol (GGOH) was studied to determine the effects of ZA on angiogenic gene expression in primary human osteoclasts. Osteoclast cultures were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of three patients using the peripheral blood mononuclear cell isolation. These cells were phenotyped by phase-contrast microscopy, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, and pit assays. Primary osteoclasts were found to express a number of key angiogenic molecules at very high levels. Gene expression levels for 84 human angiogenic factors were determined using PCR arrays. Three genes with significant fold regulation (FR) in response to ZA were as follows: tumor necrosis factor (FR = +2.57, P = 0.050), CXCL9 (FR = +39.48, P = 0.028), and CXCL10 (FR = +18.52, P = 0.0009). The co-addition of geranylgeraniol with ZA resulted in the significant down-regulation of these three genes along with CCL2, TGFBR1, ENG, and CXCL1. GGOH reversed the gene changes induced by ZA and may offer a promising treatment for BRONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapies. MRONJ is identified by chronic wounds in the oral mucosa associated with exposed necrotic bone. We hypothesized that zoledronic acid (ZOL) impairs keratinocyte and fibroblast function and reduces soft tissue vascularization; therefore, treating MRONJ with proangiogenic cells may benefit MRONJ patients. The effect of ZOL and dexamethasone (DEX) on gingival fibroblasts and keratinocytes was investigated. In-vitro, ZOL inhibited fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation, delaying scratch healing. In-vivo, exposed bone was detected at tooth extraction sites, mainly in ZOL(+)/DEX(+) rats; and was associated with significantly decreased soft tissue vascularization, serum-VEGF, and tissue-VEGF. Local injection of early and late endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) healed 13 of 14 MRONJ lesions compared with 2/7 lesions in the mesenchymal stem cells, and 2/6, in culture-medium group. The EPCs reduced necrotic bone area, increased serum and tissue VEGF levels. EPCs engraftment was minimal, suggesting their paracrine role in MRONJ healing. The EPC-conditioned medium improved scratch healing of keratinocytes and fibroblasts via VEGF pathway and elevated mRNA of VEGFA and collagen1A1. In conclusion, a novel MRONJ treatment with EPCs, increased vascularization and improved epithelial and fibroblast functions as well as cured the lesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of bisphosphonates and denosumab on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) that could influence inflammation, wound healing, and angiogenesis in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). METHODS A real-time in vitro assay was performed on HGFs with and without the addition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide and a mononuclear cell co-culture to observe the effects of zoledronate, ibandronate, alendronate, clodronate, denosumab, and combinations of zoledronate and denosumab at varied concentrations. A wound healing assay was performed, and gene and protein expression was analyzed for inflammatory, angiogenic, and osteoclastogenic cytokines and mediators including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), RANKL, and osteoprotegerin. RESULTS Higher concentrations of antiresorptives resulted in impaired wound healing and HGF death, which also occurred without mechanical damage. These effects were increased with bacterial lipopolysaccharide and mononuclear cells. Increased levels of IL-1β, TNFα, IL-8, VEGF, osteoprotegerin, and decreased levels of IL-6 were observed. CONCLUSIONS Antiresorptive exposure was associated with HGF death and delayed wound healing, which could be attributed to an elevated inflammatory response and immune dysfunction contributing to MRONJ development. There was no evidence of anti-angiogenic effects. Our experiments present the first results of denosumab with HGFs.

Synthetic Calcium Phosphate Ceramics as a Potential Treatment for Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12111840. [PMID: 31174333 PMCID: PMC6601279 DOI: 10.3390/ma12111840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
(1) Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is one of the most often seen side effects in patients treated with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (BPs), a post-surgical non-healing wound condition. Since calcium phosphate (CP) compounds are able to adsorb zoledronate (ZOL) when used as a drug delivery vehicle, we aimed to verify if these ceramics might have a potential protective effect for soft tissues surrounding surgical osseous wounds. (2) Methods: The chemical reaction between ZOL and CP compounds was evaluated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and elemental analysis. A primary culture of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) was established as a model to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the association of ZOL (5–500 μM) and of ZOL/biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP). Metabolic activity, cell viability, types of cell death, the cell cycle through, and the migration ability of human gingival fibroblasts were evaluated. (3) Results: ZOL was adsorbed by biphasic calcium phosphate compounds in an aqueous solution. The HGF were sensitive to ZOL toxicity; nevertheless, ZOL/BCP showed a significant protective effect regarding metabolic activity, cell viability, and cell migration. (4) Conclusions: BCP interaction with ZOL reduces or abolishes its toxicity in HGF. This finding represents a potential solution for BRONJ in the case of patients undergoing therapy with ZOL.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of local application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the tooth extraction site of rats presenting the main risk factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). For seven weeks, senile rats were submitted to systemic treatment with vehicle (VEH and VEH-PRP) or 100 μg/Kg of zoledronate (ZOL and ZOL-PRP) every three days. After three weeks, the first lower molar was extracted. VEH-PRP and ZOL-PRP received PRP at the tooth extraction site. Euthanasia was performed at 28 days postoperatively. Clinical, histopathological, histometric and immunohistochemical analyses were carried out in histological sections from the tooth extraction site. ZOL showed lower percentage of newly formed bone tissue (NFBT), higher percentage of non-vital bone tissue (NVBT), as well as higher immunolabeling for TNFα and IL-1β. In addition, ZOL presented lower immunolabeling for PCNA, VEGF, BMP2/4, OCN and TRAP. VEH and ZOL-PRP showed improvement in the tooth extraction site wound healing and comparable percentage of NFBT, VEGF, BMP2/4 and OCN. Local application of autologous PRP proved a viable preventive therapy, which is safe and effective to restore tissue repair capacity of the tooth extraction site and prevent the occurrence of MRONJ following tooth extraction.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of fibroblasts in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), evaluating the effect of zoledronate, alendronate, and ibandronate on the proliferation of fibroblasts and on their expression of genes essential for fibroblast physiology. Human CCD-1064Sk epithelial fibroblast cells were incubated in culture medium with 10-5, 10-7, or 10-9 M zoledronate, alendronate, or ibandronate. The proliferative capacity of fibroblasts was determined by spectrophotometry (MTT) at 24 of culture. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to study the effects of BPs at a dose of 10-9 M on the expression of FGF, CTGF, TGF-β1, TGFβR1, TGFβR2, TGFβR3, DDR2, α-actin, fibronectin, decorin, and elastin. Fibroblasts proliferation was significantly increased at the lowest dose (10-9M) of each BP but was not affected at the higher doses (10-5 and 10-7M). The proliferation increase may be related to the rise in TGF-β1 and TGFβR1 expression detected after the treatment of cells with 10-9M of zoledronate, alendronate, or ibandronate. However, the expression of CTGF, DDR2, α-actin, fibronectin, and decorin decreased versus controls. The results of this in vitro study indicate that a very low BP dose (10-9 M) can significantly affect the physiology of fibroblasts, increasing their proliferative capacity and modulating the expression of multiple genes involved in their growth and differentiation.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to determine whether the results of prevailing in vivo and in vitro studies offer a reliable model for investigation of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published from September 2003 to June 2017 involving experimental approaches to the pathogenesis of MRONJ. In vivo and in vitro trials were analyzed with respect to the scientific question, study design, methodology, and results. Results Of 139 studies, 87, 46, and 6 conducted in vivo, in vitro, and both in vivo and in vitro experiments, respectively. Rats, mice, dogs, minipigs, sheep, and rabbits were the preferred animal models used. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were the preferred cell types. Zoledronate, alendronate, ibandronate, and risedronate were the most frequent bisphosphonates used. MRONJ was most reliably induced in minipigs because of the close relationship with human bone physiology. In vitro studies showed that reduced viability, growth, and migration of cells in the bone and soft tissues were causative for MRONJ. Other than exposed jawbone after tooth extraction, no reliable cofactors were found. Conclusion The minipig is the most suitable animal model for MRONJ.

Abstract
Introduction: The proper therapeutic plan for medication-related osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is still lacking long-term data up to today. They were several high-technological appliances proposed for the different intervention steps, in addition to tissue repair promoters. The reason for proposing an integrated technique is justified, beyond better compliance of the patients associated to the pain and inflammation reduction and bleeding control, there is also achieving better hard and soft tissues healing. Methods: Patients diagnosed with bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) at the Odontostomatology and Maxillo-Facial Surgery Unit of the Hospital of Piacenza undergone surgical intervention. The intervention was performed by using different devices: Piezosurgery for removing the necrotic bone tissue and for obtaining the bone specimen essential for histological analysis; Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) to vaporize necrotic hard tissue until reaching the bleeding bone; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate hard and soft tissue healing; and finally diode laser (808 nm) to perform a biostimulation of the surgical site. Results: All treated patients demonstrated a good postoperative comfort even without using painkillers, no bleeding, and a fast healing process. Most of the patients (92.85%) reached complete healing with a minimum follow up at 6 months. Histological exams demonstrated a good quality without artifacts. Conclusion: Sequential utilization of different high-technologies devices during all the steps of MRONJ treatment allows to perform a faster and less invasive surgery with a more comfortable postoperative healing process and it may represent a new and original approach for treating this severe adverse event.

Abstract
Background In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) KRAS-mutant status is a negative prognostic and predictive factor. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates inhibit prenylation of small G-proteins (e.g. Ras, Rac, Rho) and thus may affect proliferation and migration. In our preclinical work, we investigated the effect of an aminobisphosphonate compound (zoledronic acid) on mutant and wild type KRAS-expressing human NSCLC cell lines. Results We confirmed that zoledronic acid was unable to inhibit the prenylation of mutant K-Ras unlike in the case of wild type K-Ras. In case of in vitro proliferation, the KRAS-mutant human NSCLC cell lines showed resistance to zoledronic acid wild-type KRAS-cells proved to be sensitive. Combinatory application of zoledronic acid enhanced the cytostatic effect of cisplatin. Zoledronic acid did not induce significant apoptosis. In xenograft model, zoledronic acid significantly reduced the weight of wild type KRAS-EGFR-expressing xenograft tumor by decreasing the proliferative capacity. Futhermore, zoledronic acid induced VEGF expression and improved in vivo tumor vascularization. Materials and methods Membrane association of K-Ras was examined by Western-blot. In vitro cell viability, apoptotic cell death and migration were measured in NSCLC lines with different molecular background. The in vivo effect of zoledronic acid was investigated in a SCID mouse subcutaneous xenograft model. Conclusions The in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effect of zoledronic acid was based on the blockade of cell cycle in wild type KRAS-expressing human NSCLC cells. The zoledronic acid induced vascularization supported in vivo cytostatic effect. Our preclinical investigation suggests that patients with wild type KRAS-expressing NSCLC could potentially benefit from aminobisphosphonate therapy.

Abstract
The use of quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT2-PCR) for the identification of differentially regulated genes is a powerful technology. The protocol presented here uses qRT2-PCR gene arrays to investigate the regulation of 84 angiogenic related genes in human primary alveolar osteoblasts following treatment with the bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid (ZA), and geranylgeraniol (GGOH). GGOH has potential as a therapeutic agent for Bisphosphate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (BRONJ), a serious side-effect resulting from the treatment for metastatic cancer (Zafar et al., J Oral Pathol Med 43:711-721, 2014; Ruggiero, Ann NY Acad Sci 1218:38-46, 2011). The isolation of the primary osteoblast cells follows the methods previously described (Dillon et al., Methods Mol Biol 816:3-18, 2012) with a new RNA extraction technique described fully. The method highlights the importance of obtaining high-quality RNA which is DNA-free. Relative levels of gene expression are normalized against selected housekeeping genes (HKG) and a number of examples of how fold regulation (2-∆∆Cq) and gene expression level (2-∆Cq) data can be presented are given.

Abstract
Recurrent bacterial infections in cases of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw (BRONJ) frequently occur. Therefore, BRONJ are usually treated by radical saucerization followed by intensive antibiotic medications without bisphosphonate therapy. The postoperative exudate (POE) from BRONJ lesions may directly indicate the inflammatory status of osteomyelitis in patients, but so far, the POE has rarely been examined for its expression of various cytokines and wound healing proteins. A total of 27 cases of BRONJ, which involved the mandible, were selected and their individual POE collected 6 h, 1 day, and 2 days after surgical intervention was analyzed by immunoprecipitation high performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC). The different protein expressions in the BRONJ POE were compared with findings from ten cases of chronic mandibular osteomyelitis (CMO) exudate as the control group. For the protein expressions for inflammation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis, in the 6 h POE sample, the BRONJ exudate exhibited more expression of IL-10, IL-28, OPG, and osteocalcin, but less expression of TNFα and LL-37 than the control. In the 1 day POE sample, the BRONJ exudate showed more expression of TNFα, IL-6, 8, 12, 28, α1-antitrypsin, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C, but less expression of CD68, lysozyme, bFGF, RANKL, bFGF, and ALP than the control. In the 2 day POE sample, the BRONJ exudate consistently showed more expression of LL-37, β-defensin-1, and VEGF-A than the control. The present BRONJ POE revealed the rapid progress of bony wound healing through increased molecular signaling for inflammation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis compared to the control. Therefore, it was suggested that the POE obtained from the postoperative bony lesions should be collected and analyzed by the IP-HPLC method to predict the prognosis of seriously complicated inflammatory bony diseases such as BRONJ.

Abstract
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate is a 20-carbon isoprenoid phospholipid whose lipid moiety can be post-translationally incorporated into proteins to promote membrane association. The process of geranylgeranylation has been implicated in anti-proliferative effects of clinical agents that inhibit enzymes of the mevalonate pathway (i.e. statins and nitrogenous bisphosphonates) as well as experimental agents that deplete geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Inhibitors of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase are an attractive way to block geranylgeranylation because they possess a calcium-chelating substructure to allow localization to bone and take advantage of a unique position of the enzyme within the biosynthetic pathway. Here, we describe recent advances in geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase expression and inhibitor development with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms that link geranylgeranyl diphosphate to cell proliferation via geranylgeranylated small GTPases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a serious complication of bisphosphonate therapy. The mechanism underlying BRONJ pathogenesis is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) and geranylgeraniol (GGOH) on the mevalonate pathway (MVP) in osteoblasts generated from the human mandibular alveolar bone in terms of cell viability/proliferation, migration, apoptosis and gene expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary human osteoblasts (HOBs) isolated from the mandibular alveolar bone were phenotyped. HOBs were cultured with or without ZA and GGOH for up to 72 h. Cellular behaviour was examined using a CellTiter-Blue® viability assay, an Ibidi culture-insert migration assay, an Apo-ONE® Homogeneous Caspase-3/7 apoptosis assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT2-PCR) was used to determine the simultaneous expression of 168 osteogenic and angiogenic genes modulated in the presence of ZA and GGOH. RESULTS ZA decreased cell viability and migration and induced apoptosis in HOBs. TEM revealed signs of apoptosis in ZA-treated HOBs. However, the co-addition of GGOH ameliorated the effect of ZA and partially restored the cells to the control state. Twenty-eight genes in the osteogenic array and 27 genes in the angiogenic array were significantly regulated in the presence of ZA compared with those in the controls at one or more time points. CONCLUSION The cytotoxic effect of ZA on HOBs and its reversal by the addition of GGOH suggests that the effect of ZA on HOBs is mediated via the MVP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results suggest that GGOH could be used as a possible therapeutic/preventive strategy for BRONJ.

Genetic investigation of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw (BRONJ) via whole exome sequencing and bioinformatics. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0118084. [PMID: 25668207 PMCID: PMC4337898 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0118084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2014] [Accepted: 01/04/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Complications associated with the use of bisphosphonate (BP) have risen over the
years due to an increase in the prescription of BP. BP-related osteonecrosis of jaw
(BRONJ), one of the complications linked to the consumption of BP, greatly affects
patients with minor dental trauma, incurring a long healing period. While BRONJ
afflicts only a minority of patients prescribed with BP, BRONJ is a multigenic
disease affected both by environmental and genetic factors having a distinctive
phenotype. This study aims to discover genetic biomarkers associated with BRONJ via
whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by statistical analysis. Sixteen individuals
who had been prescribed with bisphosphonate medication and diagnosed as BRONJ were
chosen and each individual’s saliva sample was collected for WES. 126
randomized subsamples from the GSK project representing 109 male and 17 female
Koreans were used as a control data set. Fisher’s exact test was carried out
to assess the significance of genetic variants in BRONJ patients. Gene set enrichment
analysis (GSEA) (DAVID Bioinformatics Resource 6.7) was used to perform a cluster
analysis of variants found from Fisher‘s exact test. The results from this
study suggest that BRONJ-inducing factors are genetically associated and BRONJ occurs
due to the malfunctioning of post-translational modification in osteoclast leading to
the impairment of cell morphology and adhesion.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is likely to be caused by continuous imperfection of bone healing after surgical treatments in patients with long-term administration of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs). NBPs inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption by impairing the mevalonic acid sterol pathway in osteoclasts. Thus, we hypothesized that exogenous mevalonic acid metabolites restore the inhibitory effects of NBPs on osteoclastogenesis and bone remodeling. To clarify the effects of mevalonic acid metabolites, especially geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) and geranylgeranyl transferase substrate geranylgeranyl acid (GGOH), we examined the effects of zoledronic acid with or without GGOH or GGPP on osteoclast differentiation, multinucleation, and bone mineral deposition in tooth-extracted sockets. Zoledronic acid decreased the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinuclear cells derived from mouse osteoclast precursors treated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Zoledronic acid simultaneously suppressed not only the expressions of osteoclastic differentiation-related molecules such as TRAP, cathepsin K, calcitonin receptor, and vacuolar H-ATPase but also those of multinucleation-related molecules such as dendrocyte-expressed 7 transmembrane proteins and osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein. Treatment with GGOH or GGPP, but not farnesyl acid, restored the zoledronic acid-inhibited number of TRAP-positive multinuclear cells together with the expressions of these molecules. Although intraperitoneal administration of zoledronic acid and lipopolysaccharide into mice appeared to induce BRONJ-like lesions with empty bone lacunae and decreased mineral deposition in tooth-extracted socket, both GGOH and GGPP partially restored the inhibitory effects on zoledronic acid-related mineral deposition. These results suggest the potential of mevalonic acid metabolites as therapeutic agents for BRONJ.
