Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients with teriparatide for 24 months reverts forming bone quality indices to premenopausal healthy control values. Bone 2022; 162:116478. [PMID: 35779845 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) therapies are frequently evaluated by bone mineral density (BMD) gains against patients receiving placebo (calcium and vitamin D supplementation, a mild bone turnover-suppressing intervention), which is not equivalent to either healthy or treatment-naive PMOP. The aim of the present observational study was to assess the effects of TPTD treatment in PMOP (20 μg, once daily) at 6 (TPTD 6m; n = 28, age 65 ± 7.3 years), and 24 (TPTD 24m; n = 32, age 67.4 ± 6.15 years) months on bone quality indices at actively forming trabecular surfaces (with fluorescent double labels). Data from the TPTD-treated PMOP patients were compared with those in healthy adult premenopausal women (HC; n = 62, age 40.5 ± 10.6 years), and PMOP receiving placebo (PMOP-PLC; n = 94, age 70.6 ± 4.5 years). Iliac crest biopsies were analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy at three distinct tissue ages: mid-distance between the second label and the bone surface, mid-distance between the two labels, and 1 μm behind the first label. Mineral to matrix ratio (MM), mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC), tissue water (TW), glycosaminoglycan (GAGs), and pyridinoline (Pyd) content were determined. Outcomes were compared by ANCOVA with subject age and tissue age as covariates, and health status as a fixed factor, followed by Sidak's post-hoc testing (significance assigned to p < 0.05). Both TPTD groups increased MM compared to PMOP-PLC. While TPTD 6m had values similar to HC, TPTD 24m had higher values compared to either HC or TPTD 6m. Both TPTD groups had lower MMC values compared to PMOP-PLC and similar to HC. TPTD 6m patients had higher TW content compared to HC, while TPTD 24m had values similar to HC and lower than either PMOP-PLC or TPTD 6m. Both TPTD groups had lower GAG content compared to HC group, while TPTD 6m had higher values compared to PMOP-PLC. Finally, TPTD 6m patients had higher Pyd content compared to HC and lower compared to PMOP-PLC, while TPTD 24m had lower values compared to PMOP-PLC and TPTD 6m, and similar to HC group. The results of the present study indicate that effects of TPTD on forming trabecular bone quality indices depend on treatment duration. At the recommended length of 24 m, TPTD restores bone mineral and organic matrix quality indices (MMC, TW, Pyd content) to premenopausal healthy (HC) levels.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by an imbalance between bone formation and resorption rates, resulting in bone loss. For ethical reasons, effects of antiosteoporosis drugs are compared against patients receiving vitamin D and calcium supplementation which is a mild antiresorptive regimen. Bone formation may be resolved into two phases: the initial formation of mineral crystals (primary nucleation) and the subsequent mineral accumulation (secondary nucleation and mineral growth) on them. In this study, we used Raman microspectroscopic analysis of iliac crest biopsies from healthy females (N = 108), postmenopausal osteoporosis patients receiving vitamin D and calcium supplementation (PMOP-S; N = 66), and treatment-naïve postmenopausal osteoporosis patients (PMOP-TN; N = 12) to test the hypothesis that at forming trabecular surfaces, mineral maturity / crystallinity of the youngest crystallites associates with the amount of subsequent mineral accumulation. The surfaces of analysis were chosen based on the presence of fluorescent double labels, defining three distinct tissue ages. The results indicated that when adjusted for age and tissue age, there were no differences in amount of mineral formed between healthy females and either PMOP-S or PMOP-TN, while both PMOP-S and PMOP-TN had larger crystallites compared to healthy females. Moreover, significant differences existed between PMOP-S and PMOP-TN in size of initial crystals formed as well as rate of mineral accumulation and maturation. These findings suggest an additional mechanism that may contribute to the decreased mineral content evident in PMOP, and provide a potential target for the development of new interventions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We used Raman microspectroscopic analysis of iliac crest biopsies from healthy females and postmenopausal osteoporosis patients (PMOP) receiving placebo to test the hypothesis that at forming trabecular surfaces, mineral maturity / crystallinity (MMC) of the youngest crystallites associates with the amount of subsequent mineral accumulation. This can affect bone mechanical properties as larger crystallites have been shown to result in compromised mechanical attributes; and larger crystallites grow slower compared to smaller ones. The results of the present analysis indicate that increased MMC of the youngest formed mineral may contribute to the bone mineral loss evident in PMOP and the accompanying increased fracture risk independently of bone turnover rate.

Abstract
As the application of Raman spectroscopy to study bone has grown over the past decade, making it a peer technology to FTIR spectroscopy, it has become critical to understand their complimentary roles. Recent technological advancements have allowed these techniques to collect grids of spectra in a spatially resolved fashion to generate compositional images. The advantage of imaging with these techniques is that it allows the heterogenous bone tissue composition to be resolved and quantified. In this review we compare, for non-experts in the field of vibrational spectroscopy, the instrumentation and underlying physical principles of FTIR imaging (FTIRI) and Raman imaging. Additionally, we discuss the strengths and limitations of FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, address sample preparation, and discuss outcomes to provide researchers insight into which techniques are best suited for a given research question. We then briefly discuss previous applications of FTIRI and Raman imaging to characterize bone tissue composition and relationships of compositional outcomes with mechanical performance. Finally, we discuss emerging technical developments in FTIRI and Raman imaging which provide new opportunities to identify changes in bone tissue composition with disease, age, and drug treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Since postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic, potentially disabling condition requiring long-term treatment, the physician is expected to decide the optimal treatment strategy, e.g. how to use the available osteoanabolic and antiresorptive agents, sequentially or in combination, in the most effective and safe way, based on personalized patient care.Areas covered: Herein, the authors outline clinical data regarding the efficacy and safety of various sequential treatment strategies. More specifically, they compare the efficacy of osteoanabolic agents when they precede or follow antiresorptive treatment, as well as the efficacy of antiresorptives following other antiresorptives. Finally, the authors quote and discuss available evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of the co-administration of osteoanabolics and antiresorptives in comparison with monotherapies.Expert opinion: Initiation with an osteoanabolic agent followed by an antiresorptive seems to be the optimal treatment sequence, at least in patients with severe osteoporosis. Osteoanabolic treatment following antiresorptives seems to lead in more modest responses in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers. Combination therapy with teriparatide and denosumab or zoledronate has achieved higher BMD gains compared to each agent alone; however, due to the high cost, combination therapy is rarely compensated. On the contrary, the combination of teriparatide with alendronate results in smaller BMD increases than TPTD monotherapy.

Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) is not the sole predictor of fracture development. Qualitative markers including bone collagen maturity contribute to bone fragility. Bone and related type I collagen containing connective tissues degenerate in parallel fashion. With aging, changes in skin collagen content and quality have been observed that can be detected on ultrasound (US) as a decrease in dermal thickness and an increase in reticular layer echogenicity. We hypothesized that US dermal thickness and echogenicity correlate with bone collagen maturity. Data of 43 prospectively enrolled patients (mean age 61 years, 24 females), who underwent instrumented, posterior lumbar fusion was analyzed. Besides preoperative quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and skin US measurements, intraoperative bone biopsies were obtained and analyzed with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Among men, there was no correlation between US measurements and collagen maturity. Among women, dermal layer thickness correlated negatively with collagen maturity in trabecular bone of the iliac crest (r = -0.51, p = 0.01) and vertebra (r = -0.59, p = 0.01) as well as in cortical bone of the iliac crest (r = -0.50, p = 0.02) and vertebra (r = -0.50, p = 0.04). In addition, echogenicity correlated positively with collagen maturity in trabecular vertebral bone (r = 0.59, p = 0.01). In both genders, US measurements showed no correlation with QCT BMD. In summary, ultrasound skin parameters are associated with bone quality factors such as collagen maturity, rather than bone quantity (BMD). Ultrasound of the skin may thereby be an easy and accessible take off point for diagnosis of bone collagen maturity and connective tissue degeneration in the future. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates skeletal remodeling and is a potent anabolic agent in bone. PTH‐related protein (PTHrP) is anabolic acting on the same PTH1 receptor and is in therapeutic use for osteoporosis. The body of literature for PTH actions in fracture healing is emerging with promising yet not entirely consistent results. The objective of this review was to perform a literature analysis to extract up‐to‐date knowledge on the effects of intermittent PTH and PTHrP therapy in bone fracture healing. A literature search of the PubMed database was performed. Clinical case studies and articles related to “regeneration,” “implant,” and “distraction osteogenesis” were excluded. A narrative review was performed to deliberate the therapeutic potential of intermittent PTH administration on fracture healing. A smaller number of studies centered on the use of PTHrP or a PTHrP analog were also reviewed. Animal studies clearly show that intermittent PTH therapy promotes fracture healing and revealed the strong therapeutic potential of PTH. Human subject studies were fewer and not as consistent as the animal studies yet provide insight into the potential of intermittent PTH administration on fracture healing. Differences in outcomes for animal and human studies appear to be attributed partly to variable doses, fracture sites, age, remodeling patterns, and bone architectures, although other factors are involved. Future studies to examine the dose, timing, and duration of PTH administration will be necessary to further delineate the therapeutic potential of PTH for fracture healing in humans. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Age-related decreases in serum levels of vitamin C (VC) may negatively affect the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic pharmacotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of VC and teriparatide (TPTD) on bone mineral density (BMD), strength, and quality in VC-deficient osteogenic disorder Shionogi (ODS) rats. Six-month-old female ODS rats were divided into an untreated ODS control group, a VC group, a TPTD group, and a VC + TPTD group, based on the administration of VC and TPTD (n = 10 each). VC was given as 2.0 mg/ml supplemented water. TPTD was administered subcutaneously once a week at 30 µg/kg body weight. After 12 weeks of treatment, BMDs of the femur and lumbar spine, bone strengths of the femoral diaphysis and metaphysis, and cancellous bone quality of proximal tibiae as estimated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were compared between groups. Compared to the ODS control group, the VC group showed significantly higher total femoral BMD, but the TPTD group showed significantly higher femoral and lumbar spinal BMD, maximum load of femoral metaphysis, and hydroxyapatite (HA) crystallinity by FTIR (p < 0.05). In addition to the increases shown in the TPTD group, the VC + TPTD group also showed significantly higher stiffness of the femoral diaphysis and breaking energy of the femoral metaphysis compared to the ODS control group (p < 0.05). These results indicated that TPTD alone increased cancellous/cortical BMD and cancellous bone strength with improvement of HA crystallinity in ODS rats, but addition of VC supplementation further improved cortical bone strength.

Abstract
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder that is associated with abnormal bone properties. Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) [rhPTH(1-84)] in short-term studies has beneficial skeletal effects. Although rhPTH(1-84) will likely be used indefinitely, long-term effects on skeletal microstructure are unknown. We therefore studied histomorphometric changes with transiliac crest bone biopsies before and after 8.3 ± 1 years of rhPTH(1-84) in 13 hypoparathyroid subjects compared with 45 controls. Before institution of rhPTH(1-84), skeletal remodeling indices were markedly suppressed. With long-term treatment, indices of bone remodeling increased. Mineralizing surface increased by 26-fold (0.3 ± 1 to 7.9 ± 7%, p = 0.003), bone formation rate increased by 15-fold (0.003 ± 0.01 to 0.047 ± 0.05 μm2 /μm/day, p = 0.007), osteoid width doubled (1.9 ± 1 to 4.3 ± 1 lamellae, p = 0.017), and osteoid surface tripled (3.3 ± 3 to 10.8 ± 6%, p = 0.011). Bone resorption as measured by eroded surface increased (4.6 ± 2 to 7.5 ± 3%, p = 0.021). Structural changes demonstrated intratrabecular tunneling, with increases in cancellous bone volume (19.6 ± 5 to 29.1 ± 11%, p = 0.017) and trabecular number (1.8 ± 1 to 2.5 ± 1 #/mm, p = 0.025). Cortical porosity tended to increase (6.3 ± 5 to 9.5 ± 3%, p = 0.07). Mineralizing surface, osteoid surface, and eroded surface surpassed control levels, as did cancellous bone volume, trabecular number, and cortical porosity. These data, the first to reflect such long exposure of any PTH for any disease, illustrate that PTH establishes and maintains a new skeletal state for at least 8 years in hypoparathyroidism. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Prospective, controlled clinical trials in postmenopausal osteoporosis typically compare effects of an active drug with placebo in addition to vitamin D and calcium supplementation in both treatment arms. While clinical benefits are documented, the effect of this supplementation in the placebo arm and in clinical practice on bone material composition properties is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate these bone quality indices (specifically mineral/matrix, nanoporosity, glycosaminoglycan content, mineral maturity/crystallinity, and pyridinoline content) in patients that either received long-term vitamin D (400-1200IU) and calcium (1.0-1.5g) supplementation, or did not. We have analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy the bone forming trabecular surfaces of iliac crest in pre-treatment samples of a teriparatide study and the endpoint biopsies of the control arm obtained from the HORIZON trial. In general, the mineral/matrix ratio and the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content was higher while nanoporosity, (a surrogate for tissue water content), the mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC) and the pyridinoline (Pyd) content was lower in patients without long-term supplementation. Moreover, all indices were significantly dependent on tissue age. In conclusion, vitamin D and calcium supplementation is associated with altered mineral and organic matrix properties.

Abstract
Teriparatide (TPTD) is the only currently available therapeutic agent that increases the formation of new bone tissue and can provide some remediation of the architectural defects in the osteoporotic skeleton. The use of teriparatide clinically is limited to 24 months. We review clinical findings during daily teriparatide treatment over time. Teriparatide appears to increase bone formation more than bone resorption as determined biochemically and histologically. Teriparatide exerts its positive effects on bone formation in two distinct fashions. The first is direct stimulation of bone formation that occurs within active remodeling sites (remodeling-based bone formation) and on surfaces of bone previously inactive (modeling-based bone formation). The second is an increase in the initiation of new remodeling sites. Both processes contribute to the final increase in bone density observed by non-invasive tools such as DXA. Remodeling is the repair process by which skeletal tissue is maintained in a young healthy state, and when stimulated by TPTD is associated with a positive bone balance within each remodeling cavity. It seems likely therefore that this component will contribute to the anti-fracture efficacy of TPTD. Teriparatide reduces the risk of fracture, and this effect appears to increase with longer duration of therapy. The use of novel treatment regimens, including shorter courses, should be held in abeyance until controlled clinical trials are completed to define the relative fracture benefits of such approaches in comparison to the 24-month daily use of the agent. Summary In patients with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture, the full continuous 24-month course with teriparatide results in improved skeletal health and outcomes than shorter time periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surface of an implantable biomaterial plays a very important role in determining the biocompatibility, osteoinduction, and osteointegration of implants because it is in intimate contact with the host bone and soft tissues. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to assess the effect of plasma surface treatment on the bioactivity of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen titanium alloy samples were used in this study. The samples were divided into three groups (with five samples in each group). Five samples were kept untreated and served as control (group A). Another five plasma samples were sprayed for nitrogen ion implantation on their surfaces (group B) and the last five samples were pre-etched with acid before plasma treatment (group C). All the investigated samples were immersed for 7 days in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) which was used as a simulating body fluid (SBF) at pH 7.4 and 37°C. HBSS was renewed every 3 days. The different surfaces were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXA), and Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). RESULTS Nitriding of Ti-alloy samples via plasma nitrogen ion implantation increased the bioactivity of titanium. Moreover, the surface topography affected the chemical structure of the formed apatite. Increasing the surface roughness enhanced the bioactivity of the implant material. CONCLUSIONS Nitridation can be exploited as an effective way to promote the formation of bone-like material on the implant surface.

Abstract
Type 1 collagen matrix volume, its degree of completeness of its mineralization, the extent of collagen crosslinking and water content, and the non-collagenous proteins like osteopontin and osteocalcin comprise the main constituents of bone's material composition. Each influences material strength and change in different ways during advancing age, health, disease, and drug therapy. These traits are not quantifiable using bone densitometry and their plurality is better captured by the term bone 'qualities' than 'quality'. These qualities are the subject of this manuscript.

Modifications in bone matrix of estrogen-deficient rats treated with intermittent PTH. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:454162. [PMID: 25695082 PMCID: PMC4324816 DOI: 10.1155/2015/454162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2014] [Revised: 11/21/2014] [Accepted: 11/21/2014] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Bone matrix dictates strength, elasticity, and stiffness to the bone. Intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH), a bone-forming treatment, is widely used as a therapy for osteoporosis. We investigate whether low doses of intermittent PTH (1-34) change the profile of organic components in the bone matrix after 30 days of treatment. Forty 6-month-old female Wistar rats underwent ovariectomy and after 3 months received low doses of iPTH administered for 30 days: daily at 0.3 µg/kg/day (PTH03) or 5 µg/kg/day (PTH5); or 3 times per week at 0.25 µg/kg/day (PTH025). After euthanasia, distal femora were processed for bone histomorphometry, histochemistry for collagen and glycosaminoglycans, biochemical quantification of sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and hyaluronan by ELISA and TUNEL staining. Whole tibiae were used to estimate the bone mineral density (BMD). Histomorphometric analysis showed that PTH5 increased cancellous bone volume by 6% over vehicle-treated rats. In addition, PTH5 and PTH03 increased cortical thickness by 21% and 20%, respectively. Tibial BMD increased in PTH5-treated rats and this group exhibited lower levels of chondroitin sulfate; on the other hand, hyaluronan expression was increased. Hormonal administration in the PTH5 group led to decreased collagen maturity. Further, TUNEL-positive osteocytes were decreased in the cortical compartment of PTH5 whereas administration of PTH025 increased the osteocyte death. Our findings suggest that daily injections of PTH at low doses alter the pattern of organic components from the bone matrix, favoring the increase of bone mass.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Raman microspectroscopic analysis of iliac crest from patients that were treated with alendronate (ALN) for 10 years revealed minimal, transient alterations in bone material properties confined to actively forming bone surfaces compared to patients that were on ALN for 5 years. These changes were not encountered in the bulk tissue. INTRODUCTION Alendronate (ALN) and other bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most widely prescribed therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Despite their overall excellent safety record and efficacy in reducing fractures, questions have been raised regarding potential detrimental effects that may be related to prolonged bone turnover reduction, although no definite cause-effect relationship has been established to date. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate bone material properties in patients that were receiving ALN for 5 or 10 years. METHODS Raman microspectroscopic analysis was used to analyze iliac crest biopsies from postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had been treated with ALN for 5 years and were then re-randomized to placebo (PBO, N = 14), 5 mg/day ALN (N = 10), or 10 mg/day ALN (N = 6) for another 5 years. The parameters monitored and expressed as a function of tissue age were (i) the mineral/matrix ratio (MM), (ii) the relative proteoglycan content (PG), (iii) the relative lipid content (LPD), (iv) the mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC), and (v) the relative pyridinoline content (PYD). RESULTS The obtained data indicate that 10-year ALN use results in minimal, transient bone tissue composition changes compared to use for 5 years, confined to actively forming trabecular surfaces, implying potential differences in bone matrix maturation that nevertheless did not result in differences of these values in bulk tissue. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that prolonged reduction in bone turnover during 10 years of therapy with ALN by itself is unlikely to be associated with adverse effects on bone material properties.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) has emerged as a frequent and devastating complication of organ solid transplantation process. Bone loss after organ transplant is related to adverse effects of immunosuppressants on bone remodeling and bone quality. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of OP in transplanted patients. Many mechanisms of OP have been deeply approached. Drugs for OP can be generally divided into "bone resorption inhibitors" and "bone formation accelerators," the former hindering bone resorption by osteoclasts and the latter increasing bone formation by osteoblasts. Currently, bisphosphonates, which are bone resorption inhibitors drugs, are more commonly used clinically than others. Using the signaling pathway or implantation bone marrow stem cell provides a novel direction for the treatment of OP, especially OP after transplantation. This review addresses the mechanism of OP and its correlation with organ transplantation, lists prevention and management of bone loss in the transplant recipient, and discusses the recipients of different age and gender.
