Abstract
Bisphosphonates are widely used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis; however, they cause several long-term side effects, necessitating the investigation of local ways to improve osseointegration in compromised bone tissue. The purpose of this study was to evaluate peri-implant bone repair using implants functionalized with zoledronic acid alone (OVX ZOL group, n = 11), zoledronic acid + teriparatide (OVX ZOL + TERI group, n = 11), and zoledronic acid + ruterpy (OVX ZOL + TERPY group, n = 11) compared to the control group (OVX CONV, n = 11). Analyses included computer-assisted microtomography, qualitative histologic analysis, and real-time PCR analysis. Histologically, all functionalized surfaces improved peri-implant repair, with the OVX ZOL + TERI group standing out. Similar results were found in computerized microtomography analysis. In real-time PCR analysis, however, the OVX ZOL and OVX ZOL + TERPY groups showed better results for bone formation, with the OVX ZOL + TERPY group standing out, while there were no statistical differences between the OVX CONV and OVX ZOL + TERI groups for the genes studied at 28 postoperative days. Nevertheless, all functionalized groups showed a reduced rate of bone resorption. In short, all surface functionalization groups outperformed the control group, with overall better results for the OVX ZOL + TERI group.

Drug Des Devel Ther 2024; 18:2249-2256. [PMID: 38895174 PMCID: PMC11185166 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s459125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Recently, a lot of research has been done around the world to popularize the osseointegration of dental implants. In this study, it was investigated the effect of local zoledronic acid application on implants with machined (MAC), resorbable blast materials (RBM), sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface implants integrated in rat tibias. Methodology A total of 60 female Wistar rats weighing between 270 and 300 g were used in the study. The rats were passing divided into six classes: controls; MAC (n = 10), RBM (n = 10), SLA (n = 10), and local zoledronic acid (LZA) applied groups; LZA-MAC (n = 10), LZA-RBM (n=10) and LZA-SLA (n = 10) and implants were surgically placement into rat tibias in general anesthesia. After a four-week experimental period, the biomechanical bone implant connection level was determined with reverse torque analysis. Results Osseointegration levels were detected highly in SLA and RBM surface compared with the machined surfaced implants in both control and treatment groups (p < 0.05). Additionally, local application of zoledronic acid in both three groups; implants increased the biomechanic osseointegration level compared with the controls (p < 0.05). Conclusion In this research, we observe that the local application of the zoledronic acid could increase the osseointegration, and RBM and SLA surface could be better than machined surfaced implants in terms of bone implant connection. In addition, local application of zoledronic acid may be a safer method than systemic application.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate that can be administered intravenously and used to treat several bone disorders. It decreases bone resorption, thereby improving bone mineral density (BMD) and reducing fractures. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved zoledronic acid for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal females and males and for other conditions. Zoledronic acid is generally well tolerated, with most side effects being musculoskeletal or gastrointestinal. Cutaneous side effects include maculopapular rash and other mild skin reactions. Rare severe skin rashes, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been reported. Here, we report the case of a 64-year-old female with a medical history of breast cancer status post-radical mastectomy and chemotherapy presenting with delayed hypersensitivity reaction to a hyaluronic acid dermal filler two days after receiving zoledronic acid intravenously given to maintain bone density, symptoms completely resolved with oral prednisolone 20 mg once daily and cetirizine 10 mg. Cases of delayed inflammatory reaction to hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler have previously been reported in patients who have received vaccination or those with viral infections. However, to our knowledge, there have been no reports of delayed inflammatory reactions to facial hyaluronic acid injections after zoledronic acid administration.

Abstract
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) protein modification (O-GlcNAcylation) is a critical post-translational modification (PTM) of cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins. O-GlcNAcylation levels are regulated by the activity of two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O‑GlcNAcase (OGA). While OGT attaches O-GlcNAc to proteins, OGA removes O-GlcNAc from proteins. Since its discovery, researchers have demonstrated O-GlcNAcylation on thousands of proteins implicated in numerous different biological processes. Moreover, dysregulation of O-GlcNAcylation has been associated with several pathologies, including cancers, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we focus on progress in our understanding of the role of O-GlcNAcylation in bone pathophysiology, and we discuss the potential molecular mechanisms of O-GlcNAcylation modulation of bone-related diseases. In addition, we explore significant advances in the identification of O-GlcNAcylation-related regulators as potential therapeutic targets, providing novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of bone-related disorders.

Acta Biomater 2024; 179:354-370.

Abstract
Fracture fixation in an ageing population is challenging and fixation failure increases mortality and societal costs. We report a novel fracture fixation treatment by applying a hydroxyapatite (HA) based biomaterial at the bone-implant interface and biologically activating the biomaterial by systemic administration of a bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid, ZA). We first used an animal model of implant integration and applied a calcium sulphate (CaS)/HA biomaterial around a metallic screw in the tibia of osteoporotic rats. Using systemic ZA administration at 2-weeks post-surgery, we demonstrated that the implant surrounded by HA particles showed significantly higher peri‑implant bone formation compared to the unaugmented implants at 6-weeks. We then evaluated the optimal timing (day 1, 3, 7 and 14) of ZA administration to achieve a robust effect on peri‑implant bone formation. Using fluorescent ZA, we demonstrated that the uptake of ZA in the CaS/HA material was the highest at 3- and 7-days post-implantation and the uptake kinetics had a profound effect on the eventual peri‑implant bone formation. We furthered our concept in a feasibility study on trochanteric fracture patients randomized to either CaS/HA augmentation or no augmentation followed by systemic ZA treatment. Radiographically, the CaS/HA group showed signs of increased peri‑implant bone formation compared with the controls. Finally, apart from HA, we demonstrated that the concept of biologically activating a ceramic material by ZA could also be applied to β-tricalcium phosphate. This novel approach for fracture treatment that enhances immediate and long-term fracture fixation in osteoporotic bone could potentially reduce reoperations, morbidity and mortality. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: • Fracture fixation in an ageing population is challenging. Biomaterial-based augmentation of fracture fixation devices has been attempted but lack of satisfactory biological response limits their widespread use. • We report the biological activation of locally implanted microparticulate hydroxyapatite (HA) particles placed around an implant by systemic administration of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid (ZA). The biological activation of HA by ZA enhances peri‑implant bone formation. •Timing of ZA administration after HA implantation is critical for optimal ZA uptake and consequently determines the extent of peri‑implant bone formation. • We translate the developed concept from small animal models of implant integration to a proof-of-concept clinical study on osteoporotic trochanteric fracture patients. • ZA based biological activation can also be applied to other calcium phosphate biomaterials.

Abstract
Denosumab and zoledronic acid are both effective and easily administrable injectable anti-osteoporotic medications for postmenopausal women. This study investigated the treatment efficacy of these agents in older male patients with low a bone mass and history of fragility fracture. A cohort of 175 male patients receiving continuous zoledronic acid treatment and a cohort of 366 male patients receiving continuous denosumab treatment at our medical center between 2015 and 2020 were included, and we analyzed the efficacy of treatment by the improvement in bone mineral density (BMD) and the new-onset low-energy fracture rate after 5 years of continuous medication. BMD significantly improved after 5 years of medication, and >90% of patients were satisfied with their treatment medication. BMD improved more with denosumab than with zoledronic acid, especially in patients with T-scores higher than -2.5. Smoking, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and inflammatory polyarthritis were associated with poor improvements in BMD. The incidence rate of new fragile fracture was 4.4% and old age was significantly associated with the incidence rate of new fracture. In summary, our study revealed that denosumab and zoledronic acid both significantly increased BMD among older male patients with high fragility fracture rates over a 5-year follow-up period. Early medical treatment and lifestyle adjustment were crucial for improving quality of life.

Abstract
How to increase the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a challenge. In clinical, we found that Zoledronic acid (ZA) may increase the anti-tumor effect of immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To explore the underlying mechanism, we established a mouse model of HCC by subcutaneously injecting Hepa1-6 cell line. The result showed that the tumor volume in the ZA plus anti-PD-1 monocloning antibody (anti-PD-1 mAb) treatment groups was significantly smaller than that of control group, and the onset time of tumor inhibition was even shorter than that of the anti-PD-1 mAb group. Using flow cytometry (FC) to detect the proportion of major immune cell subsets in tumor tissues of each group of mice, we found that the synergistic anti-tumor effect of ZA and anti-PD-1 mAb may be related to ZA-induced polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype. Next, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on tumor samples from different groups to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were then input DEGs into pathway enrichment analysis. Data indicated that ZA participated in the M1-type polarization via ferroptosis-related pathways. Our results revealed how ZA involves in the anti-tumor effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibody and provided a potential therapeutic candidate for patients with HCC.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, has led to a high risk of fatal osteoporotic fractures worldwide. Accumulating evidence has revealed that sexual dimorphism is a notable feature of osteoporosis, with sex-specific differences in epidemiology and pathogenesis. Specifically, females are more susceptible than males to osteoporosis, while males are more prone to disability or death from the disease. To date, sex chromosome abnormalities and steroid hormones have been proven to contribute greatly to sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis by regulating the functions of bone cells. Understanding the sex-specific differences in osteoporosis and its related complications is essential for improving treatment strategies tailored to women and men. This literature review focuses on the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis, mainly in a population of aging patients, chronic glucocorticoid administration, and diabetes. Moreover, we highlight the implications of sexual dimorphism for developing therapeutics and preventive strategies and screening approaches tailored to women and men. Additionally, the challenges in translating bench research to bedside treatments and future directions to overcome these obstacles will be discussed.

Effects of neoadjuvant zoledronate and radiation therapy on cell survival, cell cycle distribution, and clinical status in canine osteosarcoma. Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1237084. [PMID: 38362299 PMCID: PMC10867971 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1237084] [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: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a third-generation bisphosphonate with a higher affinity for bone resorption areas than earlier bisphosphonates (i.e., pamidronate, PAM). In human medicine, ZOL provides improved bone pain relief and prolonged time to skeletal-related events compared to its older generational counterparts. Preclinical studies have investigated its role as an anti-neoplastic agent, both independently and synergistically, with radiation therapy (RT). ZOL and RT act synergistically in several neoplastic human cell lines: prostate, breast, osteosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma. However, the exact mechanism of ZOL's radiosensitization has not been fully elucidated. Methods We investigated ZOL's ability to induce apoptosis in canine osteosarcoma cell lines treated with various doses of megavoltage external beam radiotherapy. Second, we evaluated cell cycle arrest in ZOL-treated cells to assess several neo-adjuvant time points. Finally, we treated 20 dogs with naturally occurring appendicular OS with 0.1 mg/kg ZOL IV 24 h before receiving 8 Gy of RT (once weekly fraction x 4 weeks). Results We found that apoptosis was increased in all ZOL-treated cell lines compared to controls, and the combination of ZOL and RT resulted in dissimilar apoptosis between Abrams and D-17 and HMPOS cell lines. Cell cycle arrest (G2/M phase) was minimal and variable between cell lines but perhaps greatest at 48 h post-ZOL treatment. Only 10% of dogs treated with ZOL and RT developed pathologic fractures, compared to 44% of dogs historically treated with PAM and RT (p = 0.027). Discussion ZOL and RT appear to be a well-tolerated combination treatment scheme for non-surgical candidates; future studies must elucidate the ideal timing of ZOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis can cause bone fractures and disability, but early diagnosis faces challenges. Our proposed diagnostic indicators offer a new approach for early detection, which benefits early identification. PURPOSE To determine the most appropriate threshold for predicting osteoporosis in patients with each section of vertebral body. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 210 patients, including 646 vertebrae, who had both abdominal computed tomography (CT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) within six months. The correlation between DXA T-score and CT Hounsfield units (HU) values was tested by Pearson. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using the threshold obtained from the regression equation. RESULTS The thresholds matching the T-score of -2.5 were 85, 95, 85, and 90 HU for the upper axial plane of the vertebral body (Lau), the middle axial plane of the vertebral body (Lam), the lower axial plane of the vertebral body (Lad), and the mid-sagittal plane of the vertebral body (Lsm), respectively. Defining osteoporosis using CT as Lau ≤ 85, Lam ≤ 95, Lad ≤ 85, or Lsm ≤ 90 HU had a specificity of 88.1% (116/134) and sensitivity of 90.8% (69/76) for distinguishing DXA osteoporosis of the lumbar spine in 210 patients. T-score ≤-2.5 defined as Lau ≤85 or Lam ≤95 or Lad ≤85 or Lsm ≤90 HU had a specificity of 85.9% (275/320) and sensitivity of 82.8% (270/326) for DXA T-score ≤-2.5 in 646 lumbar vertebrae. CONCLUSION CT HU values obtained based on different sections of the vertebral body in abdominal CT can be used as a supplementary measure to assess osteoporosis.

Prediction of musculoskeletal pain after the first intravenous zoledronic acid injection in patients with primary osteoporosis: development and evaluation of a new nomogram. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:841. [PMID: 37880626 PMCID: PMC10598955 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06965-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct a new prediction nomogram to predict the risk of musculoskeletal pain in patients with primary osteoporosis who receive zoledronic acid intravenously for the first time. METHOD Clinical data of 368 patients with primary osteoporosis who received the first intravenous injection of zoledronic acid in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were studied. Patients were divided into a musculoskeletal pain group (n = 258) and a non-musculoskeletal pain group (n = 110) based on the presence or absence of musculoskeletal pain 3 days after injection. Statistically significant predictors were screened by logistic regression analysis and the minimum absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) to construct a nomogram. The nomogram was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, the C-index, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) and verified in a validation cohort. RESULTS The independent predictors of the nomogram were age, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, NSAIDs, prior Vitamin D intake, and BMI. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.980 (95% CI, 0.915-0.987), showing excellent predictive performance. The nomogram c index was 0.980, and the nomogram c index for internal verification remained high at 0.979. Moreover, calibration curves show that the nomogram has good consistency. Finally, the DCA showed that the net benefit of the nomogram was 0.20-0.49. CONCLUSION Musculoskeletal pain is a common symptom of APR in OP patients treated with intravenous zoledronic acid. Risk factors for musculoskeletal pain after zoledronic acid injection in OP patients were: non-use of NSAIDs, youth (<80 years old), serum 25 (OH) D<30ng /mL, no prior intake of vitamin D, BMI<24 kg /m2. A nomogram constructed from the above predictors can be used to predict musculoskeletal pain after the first zoledronic acid injection.

Abstract
Bones are constantly exposed to mechanical forces from both muscles and Earth's gravity to maintain bone homeostasis by stimulating bone formation. Mechanotransduction transforms external mechanical signals such as force, fluid flow shear, and gravity into intracellular responses to achieve force adaptation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms on the conversion from mechanical signals into bone formation has not been completely defined yet. In the present review, we provide a comprehensive and systematic description of the mechanotransduction signaling pathways induced by mechanical stimuli during osteogenesis and address the different layers of interconnections between different signaling pathways. Further exploration of mechanotransduction would benefit patients with osteoporosis, including the aging population and postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Rapid bench-to-bedside translation of basic immunology to cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the clinical practice of oncology over the last decade. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting αβ T cells now offer durable remissions and even cures for some patients with hitherto treatment-refractory metastatic cancers. Unfortunately, these treatments only benefit a minority of patients and efforts to improve efficacy through combination therapies utilising αβ T cells have seen diminishing returns. Alongside αβ T cells and B cells, γδ T cells are a third lineage of adaptive lymphocytes. Less is known about these cells, and they remain relatively untested in cancer immunotherapy. Whilst preclinical evidence supports their utility, the few early-phase trials involving γδ T cells have failed to demonstrate convincing efficacy in solid cancers. Here we review recent progress in our understanding of how these cells are regulated, especially locally within tissues, and the potential for translation. In particular, we focus on the latest advances in the field of butyrophilin (BTN) and BTN-like (BTNL) regulation of γδ T cells and speculate on how these advances may address the limitations of historical approaches in utilising these cells, as well as how they may inform novel approaches in deploying these cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of CT-Based Finite Element Modeling for Osteoporosis Screening in Secondary Fracture Prevention: An Early Health Technology Assessment in the Netherlands. MDM Policy Pract 2023; 8:23814683231202993. [PMID: 37900721 PMCID: PMC10605708 DOI: 10.1177/23814683231202993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective. To conduct cost-utility analyses for Computed Tomography To Strength (CT2S), a novel osteoporosis screening service, compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), treat all without screening, and no screening methods for Dutch postmenopausal women referred to fracture liaison service (FLS). CT2S uses CT scans to generate femur models and simulate sideways fall scenarios for bone strength assessment. Methods. Early health technology assessment (HTA) was adopted to evaluate CT2S as a novel osteoporosis screening tool for secondary fracture prevention. We constructed a 2-dimensional simulation model considering 4 strategies (no screening, treat all without screening, DXA, CT2S) together with screening intervals (5 y, 2 y), treatments (oral alendronate, zoledronic acid), and discount rate scenarios among Dutch women in 3 age groups (60s, 70s, and 80s). Strategy comparisons were based on incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), considering an ICER below €20,000 per QALY gained as cost-effective in the Netherlands. Results. Under the base-case scenario, CT2S versus DXA had estimated ICERs of €41,200 and €14,083 per QALY gained for the 60s and 70s age groups, respectively. For the 80s age group, CT2S was more effective and less costly than DXA. Changing treatment from weekly oral alendronate to annual zoledronic acid substantially decreased CT2S versus DXA ICERs across all age groups. Setting the screening interval to 2 y increased CT2S versus DXA ICERs to €100,333, €55,571, and €15,750 per QALY gained for the 60s, 70s, and 80s age groups, respectively. In all simulated populations and scenarios, CT2S was cost-effective (in some cases dominant) compared with the treat all strategy and cost-saving (more effective and less costly) compared with no screening. Conclusion. CT2S was estimated to be potentially cost-effective in the 70s and 80s age groups considering the willingness-to-pay threshold of the Netherlands. This early HTA suggests CT2S as a potential novel osteoporosis screening tool for secondary fracture prevention. Highlights For postmenopausal Dutch women who have been referred to the FLS, direct access to CT2S may be cost-effective compared with DXA for age groups 70s and 80s, when considering the ICER threshold of the Netherlands. This study positions CT2S as a potential novel osteoporosis-screening tool for secondary fracture prevention in the clinical setting.A shorter screening interval of 2 y increases the effectiveness of both screening strategies, but the ICER of CT2S compared with DXA also increased substantially, which made CT2S no longer cost-effective for the 70s age group; however, it remains cost-effective for individuals in their 80s.Annual zoledronic acid treatment with better adherence may contribute to a lower cost-effectiveness ratio when comparing CT2S to DXA screening and the treat all strategies for all age groups.

Abstract
SUMMARY Zoledronic acid (ZA) prevents muscle weakness in mice with bone metastases; however, its role in muscle weakness in non-tumor-associated metabolic bone diseases and as an effective treatment modality for the prevention of muscle weakness associated with bone disorders, is unknown. We demonstrate the role of ZA-treatment on bone and muscle using a mouse model of accelerated bone remodeling, which represents the clinical manifestation of non-tumor associated metabolic bone disease. ZA increased bone mass and strength and rescued osteocyte lacunocanalicular organization. Short-term ZA treatment increased muscle mass, whereas prolonged, preventive treatment improved muscle mass and function. In these mice, muscle fiber-type shifted from oxidative to glycolytic and ZA restored normal muscle fiber distribution. By blocking TGFβ release from bone, ZA improved muscle function, promoted myoblast differentiation and stabilized Ryanodine Receptor-1 calcium channel. These data demonstrate the beneficial effects of ZA in maintaining bone health and preserving muscle mass and function in a model of metabolic bone disease. Context and significance TGFβ is a bone regulatory molecule which is stored in bone matrix, released during bone remodeling, and must be maintained at an optimal level for the good health of the bone. Excess TGFβ causes several bone disorders and skeletal muscle weakness. Reducing excess TGFβ release from bone using zoledronic acid in mice not only improved bone volume and strength but also increased muscle mass, and muscle function. Progressive muscle weakness coexists with bone disorders, decreasing quality of life and increasing morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is a critical need for treatments improving muscle mass and function in patients with debilitating weakness. Zoledronic acid's benefit extends beyond bone and could also be useful in treating muscle weakness associated with bone disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis compromises bone strength and increases the risk of fractures. Zoledronate prevents loss of bone mass and reduces the risk of fractures. OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy and safety of zoledronate in postmenopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis. DESIGN AND SETTINGS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted within the evidence-based health program at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo. METHODS An electronic search of the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and LILACS databases was performed until February 2022. Randomized controlled trials comparing zoledronate with placebo or other bisphosphonates were included. Standard methodological procedures were performed according to the Cochrane Handbook and the certainty of evidence for the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Working Group. Two authors assessed the risk of bias and extracted data on fractures, adverse events, bone turnover markers (BTM), and bone mineral density (BMD). RESULTS Twelve trials from 6,652 records were included: nine compared zoledronate with placebo, two trials compared zoledronate with alendronate, and one trial compared zoledronate with ibandronate. Zoledronate reduced the incidence of fractures in osteoporotic [three years: morphometric vertebral fractures (relative risk, RR = 0.30 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.24-0.38))] and osteopenic women [six years: morphometric vertebral fractures (RR = 0.39 (95%CI: 0.25-0.61))], increased incidence of post-dose symptoms [RR = 2.56 (95%CI: 1.80-3.65)], but not serious adverse events [RR = 0.97 (95%CI: 0.91-1.04)]. Zoledronate reduced BTM and increased BMD in osteoporotic and osteopenic women. CONCLUSION This review supports the efficacy and safety of zoledronate in postmenopausal women with osteopenia for six years and osteoporosis for three years.

Abstract
The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of zolendronic acid (ZOL) combined with bone allograft prepared using the Marburg Bone Bank System on bone formation in the implant remodeling zone. Femoral bone defects with a diameter of 5 mm and a depth of 10 mm were created in 32 rabbits. Animals were divided into 2 similar groups: Group 1 (control), where defects were filled with bone allograft, and Group 2, where allograft was combined with ZOL. Eight animals from each group were sacrificed at 14- and 60-days post-surgery and bone defect healing was assessed using histopathological and histomorphometric analyses after 14 and 60 days. The results showed that new bone formation within the bone allograft was significantly greater in the control group than in the ZOL-treated group after 14 and 60 days (p<0.05). In conclusion, local co-administration of ZOL on heat-treated allograft inhibits allograft resorption and new bone formation in the bone defect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA) may threaten the survival of implants. Zoledronic acid (ZA) and denosumab were effective in reducing bone loss in conditions associated with accelerated bone turnover by inhibiting osteoclast activity. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficiency and safety of ZA and denosumab for periprosthetic BMD loss after THA. METHODS A systematic search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) associated with ZA or denosumab and THA was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Web of Science from 1980 to 2022. Meta-analysis was performed by the Cochrane Review Manager 5 (RevMan) version 5.41. Cochrane risk of bias tool and GRADEpro were applied for methodological quality and overall evidence quality, respectively. RESULTS Nine RCTs involving a total of 480 patients were finally included and analyzed. The pooled data that demonstrated significantly less periprosthetic BMD loss in Gruen zone 7 occurred in the intervention group patients than in the control group patients at 3 months (MD = 4.30, 95% CI: 1.78-6.82, P = 0.0008), 6 months (MD = 7.71, 95% CI: 5.41-10.02, P < 0.00001), and 12 months (MD = 8.19, 95% CI: 5.97-10.42, P < 0.00001) after THA. No serious adverse events (AEs) were observed. CONCLUSION In the current analysis with evidence on the efficacy and safety of ZA and denosumab, the authors recommend the use of ZA or denosumab treatment for periprosthetic bone mineral density loss.

Effectiveness and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty combined with zoledronic acid in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a meta-analysis. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:2435-2443. [PMID: 33713186 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03858-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate the clinical effectiveness of combination treatment of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and zoledronic acid (ZOL) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched studies investigating the PKP combined with ZOL in the treatment of OVCF. We used a fixed-effects or random-effects model to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD), visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), bone markers (N-MID, β-CTX, and P1NP) and adverse events, expressed as weight mean difference (WMD) and risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS We identified 5 cohort studies with a total of 440 patients. Compared with PKP alone, the combination treatment of PKP and ZOL significantly reduced the VAS score at 6 months (WMD = - 0.78, 95% CI - 1.42, - 0.14; P = 0.018), and 12 months (WMD = - 0.98, 95% CI - 1.46, - 0.51; P < 0.001). Moreover, the combination treatment also improved the BMD at 6 (WMD = 0.06, 95% CI 0.01, 0.11, P = 0.016) and 12 months (WMD = 0.20, 95% CI 0.03, 0.36, P = 0.018) after treatment. The ODI score in the combination group was significantly lower than in PKP group at 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment (at 6 months: WMD = - 9.25, 95% CI - 13.62, - 4.87 P < 0.001; at 12 months: WMD = - 9.21, 95% CI - 11.91, - 6.50, P < 0.001; at 24 months: WMD = - 7.26, 95% CI - 11.39, - 3.14, P = 0.001). The N-MID and P1NP values were found to be significantly lower in the combination group than the PKP group, but the β-CTX value was similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse events between the two groups, but more adjacent vertebral fractures and bone cement leakage occurred in PKP alone group. CONCLUSION In patients with OVCF, combination treatment of PKP and ZOL showed more effective than PKP alone in improving BMD and bone marker levels, relieving pain, as well as reducing the risk of new fractures. More large-scale RCTs are needed to verify our findings.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is called a silent disease, because it is difficult to detect until comprehensive examinations for osteoporosis are performed or osteoporotic fractures occur. Zoledronic acid is currently the first-line anti-osteoporotic drug, with good efficacy and treatment compliance. A major advantage of zoledronic acid is that intravenous zoledronic acid often guarantees a therapeutic effect for up to 1 year after infusion. The reasons why zoledronic acid is effective in improving osteoporosis are that it can inhibit osteoclast differentiation and induce osteoclast apoptosis, thus suppressing bone resorption and increasing bone density. The story between zoledronic acid and osteoclasts has been written long time ago. Both the canonical receptor activator of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) pathway and the non-canonical Wnt pathway are the main pathways by which zoledronic acid inhibits osteoclast differentiation. Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ferroptosis that was first proposed in 2012, are all considered to be closely associated with zoledronic acid-induced osteoclast apoptosis. Here, we provide a brief review of the recent progress on the study of zoledronic acid and osteoclasts, and hope to elaborate how zoledronic acid improves osteoporosis by acting on osteoclasts.

Abstract
Osteoporosis has been defined as the silent disease of the 21st century, becoming a public health risk due to its severity, chronicity and progression and affecting mainly postmenopausal women and older adults. Osteoporosis is characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone production. It is diagnosed through different methods such as bone densitometry and dual X-rays. The treatment of this pathology focuses on different aspects. On the one hand, pharmacological treatments are characterized by the use of anti-resorptive drugs, as well as emerging regenerative medicine treatments such as cell therapies and the use of bioactive hydrogels. On the other hand, non-pharmacological treatments are associated with lifestyle habits that should be incorporated, such as physical activity, diet and the cessation of harmful habits such as a high consumption of alcohol or smoking. This review seeks to provide an overview of the theoretical basis in relation to bone biology, the existing methods for diagnosis and the treatments of osteoporosis, including the development of new strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To explore the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) combined with zoledronic acid (ZOL) in postmenopausal women and adult men with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 238 patients with OVCF were randomly assigned to the control or ZOL group: 119 patients were treated with only PKP (control group), and 119 were treated with ZOL infusion after PKP (ZOL group). Clinical, radiological and laboratory indices were evaluated at follow-up. RESULTS The visual analog scale (VAS) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were significantly higher in both groups post-treatment than at baseline (all p < 0.01). The bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femoral neck and height of the injured vertebra were significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, and the Cobb angle of the injured vertebra was significantly decreased in both groups (all p < 0.01). However, the bone metabolism indices (type I procollagen amino-terminal peptide (PINP), beta type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (β-CTX), and osteocalcin in the N-terminal molecular fragment (NMID)) were significantly lower post-treatment than at baseline in only the ZOL group (all p < 0.01). The VAS score, ODI, BMD, PINP level, β-CTX level, NMID level, vertebral height and Cobb angle of the injured vertebra were significantly higher in the ZOL group than in the control group (all p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the postoperative bone cement leakage rate between the two groups. At follow-up, new OVCFs were experienced by 16 patients in the control group and 2 patients in the ZOL group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The therapeutic efficacy of PKP combined with ZOL for primary OVCF is clinically beneficial and warrants further study.

Abstract
Medicine treatments for bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, bone metastasis, osteomyelitis, and osteolysis are often limited by insufficient drug concentration at the lesion sites owing to the low perfusion of bone tissue. A carrier that can deliver multiple bone destruction site-targeting drugs is required to address this limitation. Here, we reported a novel bone-targeting nano-drug delivery platform formed by the integration of zoledronate (ZOL) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles. The ZOL mixed zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZZF) nanoparticles were synthesized in water at room temperature (25 °C), where many biomacromolecules could maintain their activity. This allowed the ZZF nanoparticles to adapt the encapsulation ability and pH response release property from ZIF-8 and the excellent bone targeting performance of ZOL simultaneously. Considering the ease of preparation and biomacromolecule-friendly drug delivery of this nano platform, it may be useful in treating bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Denosumab is a newly approved treatment for osteoporosis in China. However, the clinical safety and advantages of denosumab have not been much established. The current study evaluates the real-world safety of denosumab versus zoledronic acid in treating cancer-free adults aged 50 years or older with osteoporosis to provide clinical settings guidelines. PURPOSE A head-to-head comparison of the safety profiles between denosumab (60 mg subcutaneously every 6 months) and zoledronic acid (5 mg, intravenously yearly) was performed in cancer-free adults aged 50 years or older with osteoporosis. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for cohort studies comparing the safety of denosumab and zoledronic acid in cancer-free adults aged 50 years or older with osteoporosis till December 2021. The outcomes included the risk of fracture and other severe adverse events. Based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 5.0.2, we identified the eligible studies. RESULTS Three cohort studies having 38,845 cancer-free adults aged 50 years or older were included in the study. The results showed that denosumab was not superior to zoledronic acid in reducing fracture risk [RR (95% CI): 1.05 (0.90, 1.23), P = 0.52]. However, denosumab had a low risk of composite cardiovascular disease [RR (95% CI): 0.82 (0.70, 0.96), P = 0.01]. There were no significant differences between the hazards of serious infection, and total adverse events (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis demonstrated that for cancer-free adults aged 50 years or older with osteoporosis, denosumab was as safe as zoledronic acid for the risk of drug-induced fractures. However, denosumab had a lower incidence of composite cardiovascular disease, and may be a better option for the population with cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, due to limitations like a short-term follow-up, gender, and incomplete types of adverse effects, more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required to further verify this conclusion.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid (ZOL) has been approved as the only bisphosphonate for the prevention and treatment of metastatic bone diseases with acceptable safety and tolerability. However, systemic or direct injection of ZOL often causes severe side effects, which limits its clinical application. Here, an innovative nano-drug delivery system, ZOL-loaded hyaluronic acid/polyethylene glycol/nano-hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA-PEG-nHA-ZOL NPs), has been found to effectively inhibit the proliferation of three types of human osteosarcoma cell lines (143b, HOS, and MG63) at 1–10 μmol/L, while with low cell cytotoxicity on normal cells. The NPs significantly enhanced the apoptosis-related protein expression and tumor cell apoptosis rate. The NPs could also inhibit the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells by blocking the S phase of the cell cycle. In the orthotopic osteosarcoma nude mice model, local injection of the HA-PEG-nHA-ZOL NPs stimulated tumor necrosis, apoptosis, and granulocyte infiltration in the blood vessels. Altogether, the ZOL nano-delivery system possesses great potential for local treatment to prevent local tumor recurrence and can be applied in clinical osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) treatment as an non-pharmacological method of treatment for early osteopenia in ovariectomized female rats. In total, 48 female Wistar rats were assigned to two groups: sham-operated control (SHAM, n = 12) and ovariectomized (n = 36). Four weeks after ovariectomy, the animals were divided into three experimental groups (n = 12 each): ovariectomized (OVX), ovariectomized subjected to whole body vibration with acceleration level of 0.3 g (OVX + WBV), or ovariectomized subjected to i.m. injection of Zoledronic acid at a dose of 0.025 mg/kg (OVX + ZOL). After the 8th and 16th week of treatment n = 6 rats from each group were euthanized and isolated femora were subjected to histological examination of trabecular bone and analysis of the expression of collagen 1 (Col1), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) involved in bone turnover. The obtained results indicated that widespread vibration therapy can provide negative outcomes such as deterioration of trabecular bone histomorphometry.

Abstract
Bone marrow lesions (BML) represent areas of deteriorated bone structure and metabolism characterized by pronounced water-equivalent signaling within the trabecular bone on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). BML are associated with repair mechanisms subsequent to various clinical conditions associated with inflammatory and non-inflammatory injury to the bone. There is no approved treatment for this condition. Bisphosphonates are known to improve bone stability in osteoporosis and other bone disorders and have been used off-label to treat BML. A randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial was conducted to assess efficacy and safety of single-dose zoledronic acid (ZOL) 5 mg iv with vitamin D 1000 IU/d as opposed to placebo with vitamin D 1000 IU/d in 48 patients (randomized 2:1) with BML. Primary efficacy endpoint was reduction of edema volume 6 weeks after treatment as assessed by MRI. After treatment, mean BML volume decreased by 64.53% (±41.92%) in patients receiving zoledronic acid and increased by 14.43% (±150.46%) in the placebo group (p = 0.007). A decrease in BML volume was observed in 76.5% of patients receiving ZOL and in 50% of the patients receiving placebo. Pain level (visual analogue scale [VAS]) and all categories of the pain disability index (PDI) improved with ZOL versus placebo after 6 weeks but reconciled after 6 additional weeks of follow-up. Six serious adverse events occurred in 5 patients, none of which were classified as related to the study drug. No cases of osteonecrosis or fractures occurred. Therefore, single-dose zoledronic acid 5 mg iv together with vitamin D may enhance resolution of bone marrow lesions over 6 weeks along with reduction of pain compared with vitamin D supplementation only. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate whether VEGF was involved in bisphosphonate (BP)-induced apoptosis and differentiation of osteoblasts. Murine MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were stimulated with zoledronic acid (ZA) for 7 days. VEGF mRNA and protein expression levels were determined via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. Cell viability was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. In addition, the cell apoptotic rate and the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were measured using a TUNEL staining kit and western blot analysis, respectively. To evaluate mineralization, cells were stained with alizarin red, while the secretion levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured using the corresponding assay kit. Finally, the expression levels of differentiation-related proteins and proteins of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3)/caspase 1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pyroptosis pathway were measured by western blot analysis. VEGF expression level was notably decreased in ZA-stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells. However, the viability of these cells was enhanced following VEGF addition. Furthermore, VEGF attenuated apoptosis, promoted mineralization and increased ALP activity in ZA-stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells. The ZA-mediated decrease in the protein expression of the osteogenic genes osteopontin, osteocalcin and runt-related transcription factor 2 was restored after MC3T3-E1 cell treatment with 10 ng/ml VEGF. The present study demonstrated that VEGF could attenuate BP-induced apoptosis and differentiation of MC3T3 cells by regulating the NLRP3/caspase 1/GSDMD pathway.

In vivo and in vitro analysis in a rat model using zoledronate and alendronate medication: microbiological and scanning electron microscopy findings on peri-implant rat tissue. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:672. [PMID: 34972519 PMCID: PMC8720220 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-02031-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to assess the development of bacterial deposits and morphological parameters around dental zirconia and titanium implants compared with natural teeth during systemic bisphosphonate medication. Materials and methods Fifty-four rats were randomly allocated into one control group and two experimental groups (drug application of zoledronic and alendronic acid), with 18 animals in each group. After 4 weeks of drug delivery, either a zirconia or a titanium implant was immediately inserted. Microbiological analysis conducted 1 week, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after surgery included total bacterial count and composition measurements. Samples were analyzed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Bone cell morphology was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results One week after surgery, titanium and zirconia implants of the alendronic acid and control group showed a significantly higher bacterial count when compared to natural teeth in rats with zoledronic acid administration (p < 0.01). Less significant differences were recorded after 3 months, at which time no inter-material differences were evaluated (p > 0.05). I
n the control group, TEM analysis showed that the osteoblasts had a strongly developed endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, the endoplasmic reticulum of the osteoblasts in drug-treated animals was significantly less developed, indicating less activity. Conclusions Within the limits of this study, neither implant material was superior to the other at 3-month follow-up. With regard to the treatment and complications of patients with bisphosphonates, the implant material should not be an influencing factor. Bisphosphonates can be used in the rat model to reduce not only the activity of osteoclasts but also osteoblasts of the peri-implant bone.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of permanent vision loss and current drugs do not halt disease progression. Thus, new therapies targeting different drug targets with novel mechanisms of action are urgently needed. Previously, we identified CACNA2D1 as a novel modulator of intraocular pressure (IOP) and demonstrated that a topically applied CACNA2D1 antagonist—pregabalin (PRG)—lowered IOP in a dose-dependent manner. To further validate this novel IOP modulator as a drug target for IOP-lowering pharmaceutics, a homology model of CACNA2D1 was built and docked against the NCI library, which is one of the world’s largest and most diverse compound libraries of natural products. Acivicin and zoledronic acid were identified using this method and together with PRG were tested for their plausible IOP-lowering effect on Dutch belted rabbits. Although they have inferior potency to PRG, both of the other compounds lower IOP, which in turn validates CACNA2D1 as a valuable drug target in treating glaucoma.

Abstract
Bone mass loss (osteoporosis) seen in postmenopausal women is an adverse factor for implant denture. Using an ovariectomized rat model, we studied the mechanism of estrogen-deficiency-caused bone loss and the therapeutic effect of Zoledronic acid. We observed that ovariectomized-caused resorption of bone tissue in the mandible was evident at four weeks and had not fully recovered by 12 weeks post-ovariectomized compared with the sham-operated controls. Further evaluation with a TUNEL assay showed ovariectomized enhanced apoptosis of osteoblasts but inhibited apoptosis of osteoclasts in the mandible. Zoledronic acid given subcutaneously as a single low dose was shown to counteract both of these ovariectomized effects. Immunohistochemical staining showed that ovariectomized induced the protein levels of RANKL and the 65-kD subunit of the NF-κB complex mainly in osteoclasts, as confirmed by staining for TRAP, a marker for osteoclasts, whereas zoledronic acid inhibited these inductions. Western blotting showed that the levels of RANKL, p65, as well as the phosphorylated form of p65, and IκB-α were all higher in the ovariectomized group than in the sham and ovariectomized + zoledronic acid groups at both the 4th- and 12th-week time points in the mandible. These data collectively suggest that ovariectomized causes bone mass loss by enhancing apoptosis of osteoblasts and inhibiting apoptosis of osteoclasts. In osteoclasts, these cellular effects may be achieved by activating RANKL-NF-κB signalling. Moreover, zoledronic acid elicits its therapeutic effects in the mandible by counteracting these cellular and molecular consequences of ovariectomized.

Abstract
Purpose Alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) rs3755955 and rs6831280 polymorphisms have been demonstrated to be associated with bone mineral density (BMD). However, no study has investigated the association of these two polymorphisms with osteoporosis (OP) susceptibility in Chinese postmenopausal women. Patients and Methods IDUA gene polymorphisms were genotyped in 278 women with OP and 303 healthy controls via polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Results Our data indicated that IDUA rs3755955 and rs6831280 polymorphisms increased the risk of OP in homozygous, dominant, and allelic models. We observed lower lumbar spine BMD in younger women with the AA genotype of rs3755955 polymorphism. Finally, mutant genotypes with rs6831280 polymorphism were more sensitive to zoledronic acid treatment, and the treatment effect was significant in terms of BMD levels. Conclusion In conclusion, IDUA rs3755955 and rs6831280 polymorphisms demonstrated susceptibility to OP in Chinese postmenopausal women. IDUA rs6831280 polymorphism caused differences in response to zoledronic acid treatment.

Abstract
Metastatic prostate cancer is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Standard treatment for non-metastatic prostate cancer, to prevent metastatic progression, is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); however, many patients will eventually develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which can prove challenging to treat. Between the stages of non-metastatic androgen-sensitive disease and metastatic CRPC is an intermediate disease state that has been termed non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC), which is a heterogeneous, man-made disease stage that occurs after a patient who has no radiological evidence of metastasis shows evidence of cancer progression even after ADT. Awareness of nmCRPC has risen owing to an increased use of ADT and its eventual failure. Men with nmCRPC are at a high risk of progression to mCRPC, with historically few options to halt this process. However, in the past two decades, multiple therapies have been investigated for the treatment of nmCRPC, including endothelin receptor antagonists and bone-targeted therapies, but none has changed the standard of care. In the past decade, the efficacy of androgen receptor pathway-targeting modalities has been investigated. Three novel nonsteroidal antiandrogen agents for treating high-risk nmCRPC have been investigated; the PROSPER, SPARTAN and ARAMIS trials were phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials that investigated the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide, apalutamide and darolutamide, respectively. All three therapeutics showed statistically significant improvements in metastasis-free survival, progression to antineoplastic therapy was lengthened and at final analysis, overall survival was significantly improved. The comparative efficacy and safety of all three agents has not yet been investigated in a comprehensive clinical trial, but approval of these medications by the FDA and other regulatory agencies means that providers now have three effective therapeutic options to augment ADT for patients with nmCRPC.

Abstract
Background Revisions are mainly caused by wear debris-induced aseptic loosening. How to effectively suppress debris-induced periprosthetic osteolysis has become an urgent problem. Both zoledronic acid and teriparatide can increase the bone mass around prostheses and increase the stability of prostheses. A hypothesis was proposed: the combination of the two drugs may have a better treatment effect than the use of either drug alone. Methods We created a rabbit model to study the effect and mechanism of the combination of zoledronic acid and teriparatide in the treatment of aseptic loosening. Thirty-two adult male New Zealand white rabbits were selected and treated with TKA surgery, and a titanium rod prosthesis coated evenly with micrometre-sized titanium debris was implanted into the right femoral medullary cavity. All rabbits were randomized into four groups (control group = 8, zoledronic acid group = 8, teriparatide group = 8, and zoledronic acid + teriparatide group = 8). All the animals were sacrificed in the 12th week, and X-ray analyses, H&E staining, Goldner-Masson trichrome staining, von Kossa staining, and RT-PCR and Western blotting of the mRNA and protein of OCN, OPG, RANKL and TRAP5b in the interface membrane tissues around the prostheses were immediately carried out. Results The results shown that both zoledronic acid and teriparatide could inhibit debris-induced peri-prosthetic osteolysis and promote new bone formation. Zoledronic acid was more capable of inhibiting osteoclast activation and peri-prosthetic osteolysis, while teriparatide was more capable of promoting osteoblast function and peri-prosthetic bone integration. Conclusion This research confirmed that the combination of zoledronic acid and teriparatide could prevent and treat aseptic loosening of the prosthesis more effectively. However, the safety of this combination and the feasibility of long-term application have not been ensured, and the clinical application requires further experiments and clinical research support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study focused on the trends in antiosteoporosis drug preferences and compared the incidence of fractures between patients treated orally and those who were exposed to an awareness campaign and assigned to intravenous/subcutaneous treatment. METHODS Our hospital registry included 1,716 osteoporotic women who were over 65 years of age without preexisting vertebral and nonvertebral fractures over 1 year before this study, with bone mineral density (BMD) < -2.5 standard deviation (SD) and fracture assessment tool (FRAX) score > 20%, who were given 1,337 oral and 379 intravenous/subcutaneous prescriptions to treat their osteoporosis. Self-administered surveys (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016) collected data on trends of preferences among nine drugs and fracture prevention using relative risk reduction (RRR). RESULTS The number of patients taking oral prescriptions decreased gradually from 2012 to 2016, while the number of patients treated with intravenous and subcutaneous injections increased. The incidence of fracture was lower in patients receiving intravenous and subcutaneous injections than in patients taking oral medications. CONCLUSION These findings indicate a decrease in oral prescriptions for osteoporosis treatment and that treatment for osteoporosis using intravenous or subcutaneous injections of antiosteoporosis drugs is more effective for preventing fractures.

Abstract
Background: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid combined with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods: Eligible scientific articles published prior to July 2020 were retrieved from the PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library databases. The statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.1. Results: Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 2 non-RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The present meta-analysis revealed that zoledronic acid combined with PKP is associated with a higher BMD, a better quality of life, less severe low back pain, and fewer additional vertebral body fractures than is percutaneous vertebral augmentation alone. Conclusions: Compared with PKP only, zoledronic acid combined with percutaneous vertebral augmentation is beneficial for OVCFs.

Abstract
Drug repositioning is used to find new uses for existing drugs, effectively shortening the drug research and development cycle and reducing costs and risks. A new model of drug repositioning based on ensemble learning is proposed. This work develops a novel computational drug repositioning approach called CMAF to discover potential drug-disease associations. First, for new drugs and diseases or unknown drug-disease pairs, based on their known neighbor information, an association probability can be obtained by implementing the weighted K nearest known neighbors (WKNKN) method and improving the drug-disease association information. Then, a new drug similarity network and new disease similarity network can be constructed. Three prediction models are applied and ensembled to enable the final association of drug-disease pairs based on improved drug-disease association information and the constructed similarity network. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed approach outperforms recent state-of-the-art prediction models. Case studies further confirm the predictive ability of the proposed method. Our proposed method can effectively improve the prediction results.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a physiological process that generates new bone tissue formation, using progressively separated bone fragments. Recently, several techniques have been investigated to develop the maturation of the new bone tissue. Bisphosphonates was an effective material for the acceleration of bone formation in DO procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the systemic zoledronic acid application at the beginning of the consolidation period on new bone genesis in a DO model of rat femurs. The rats were divided randomly into 3 groups, as follows: Control group (CNT group) (n = 10), zoledronic acid dosage-1 (n = 10), and dosage-2 (n = 10) groups (ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2). No treatment was administered in controls, but DO was applied to the rat femurs. A single dose of 0.1 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg of zoledronic acid was administered systematically at the beginning of the consolidation period after the distraction in treatment groups, respectively. Histomorphometric analyses were performed on the original distracted bone area and the surrounding bone tissue. Osteoblasts, new bone formation, and fibrosis were scored. New bone formation in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, when compared with the control group, was detected highly (P < 0.05). The numbers of osteoblasts in the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups were higher when compared with the controls (P < 0.05). Fibrosis in the controls, when compared with the ZA-D-1 and ZA-D-2 groups, was found to be higher (P < 0.05). Zoledronic acid application is an effective method for bone maturation in consolidation period in DO.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with cancer, especially in those with haematological malignancies. Kidney injury might be a direct consequence of the underlying haematological condition. For example, in the case of lymphoma infiltration or extramedullary haematopoiesis, it might be caused by a tumour product; in the case of cast nephropathy it might be due to the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin; or it might result from tumour complications, such as hypercalcaemia. Kidney injury might also be caused by cancer treatment, as many chemotherapeutic agents are nephrotoxic. High-intensity treatments, such as high-dose chemotherapy followed by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, not only increase the risk of infection but can also cause AKI through various mechanisms, including viral nephropathies, engraftment syndrome and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Some conditions, such as thrombotic microangiopathy, might also result directly from the haematological condition or the treatment. Novel immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, can also be nephrotoxic. As new therapies for haematological malignancies with increased anti-tumour efficacy and reduced toxicity are developed, the number of patients receiving these treatments will increase. Clinicians must gain a good understanding of the different mechanisms of kidney injury associated with cancer to better care for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis often occurs in individuals of different age groups, frequently during menopause and after ovariectomy. It increases the risk of pathological fractures almost twice. The aim of our research was to assess bone metabolism, nanocomposite structure of the tibia under conditions of ovariectomy and zoledronic acid treatment. METHODS X-ray diffraction has been performed for nanostructure analysis of mineral crystallites and crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite in the tibia samples of ovariectomized rats with additional application of bisphosphonate zoledronic acid (0.025 mg/kg). Markers of remodeling - osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b - were determined. Quantitative amount of calcium in the bones was detected by atomic absorption method. RESULTS Zoledronic acid prevented loss of mineral mass after ovariectomy. Rats after ovariectomy, treated with zoledronic acid, showed statistically higher (р<0.05) values of crystalline phase and calcium content compared with the SHAM-surgery and ovariectomy groups (р<0.05). Zoledronic acid inhibited bone remodeling, which is proved by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b reduction and inhibition of osteoclasts during the experiment. CONCLUSIONS These results enable to suggest that zoledronic acid can improve mineral mass of the bone during menopause in individuals of different age groups.

Abstract
Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a refractory disease due to its unclear pathomechanism. Neither conservative treatment nor surgical treatment during the early stage of ONFH achieves satisfactory results. Therefore, this study aims to explore the available evidence on the effect of zoledronic acid on early-stage ONFH. Methods For groups were established:the Normal group, model group, Normal saline group(NS group) and zoledronic acid-treated group. The blood supply to the femoral head of animals in the model group and zoledronic acid-treated group was interrupted via a surgical procedure, and zoledronic acid was then locally administered to the femoral head. Four weeks after surgery, all the hips were harvested and evaluated by micro-CT and histopathology(H&E staining, TRAP staining, Toluidine blue staining and masson staining). Results The values of BMD, BS/BV and Tb.Th in the Normal group and zoledronic acid-treated group were significantly higher than those in the model group and NS group (p < 0.05). The outcome of H&E staining, Toluidine blue staining and masson staining were consistent with that of micro-CT. Conclusion The local administration of zoledronic acid in the femoral head had positive effects on the bone structure of the femoral head in a modified rat model of traumatic ONFH and offered a promising therapeutic strategy during the early stage of ONFH. The Translational potential of this article This article could provide a choice for treating patients who have osteonecrosis of femora head and can be the basic research for advanced development over this disease

[PMID: 33763474 PMCID: PMC7952169 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5578088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is aimed at studying the effect of zoledronate (ZOL) on the differentiation of osteoclast precursor RAW264.7 cells induced by titanium (Ti) particles and explores the possibility of preventing and treating periprosthetic osteoporosis using ZOL. METHODS RAW264.7 cells were cultured in vitro. Ti particles were prepared. The cell proliferation curve of RAW264.7 cells was plotted using the MTT assay to find the best concentration of ZOL for intervention. The cells were divided into three groups: control, Ti particles, and Ti particles+ZOL. The cell morphology was observed using tartaric acid-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and the activity of TRAP in cell supernatant was determined using the biochemical method. The number of bone resorption lacunae was detected using toluidine blue staining. The mRNA expression of RANK, NFATcl, CAII, and MMP-9 was detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression of RANK, NFATcl, and MMP-9 was detected using Western blot analysis. RESULTS Ti particles stimulated the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts. They also increased the activity of TRAP, number of bone resorption lacunae, and mRNA and protein expression of RANK, NFATcl, and MMP-9. However, ZOL could suppress the effect of TI particles on the osteoclast differentiation of RAW264.7 cells. CONCLUSIONS ZOL could effectively inhibit the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts induced by Ti particles, decrease the activity of TRAP, reduce the number of bone resorption lacunae, and decrease the mRNA and protein expression of RANK, NFATcl, and MMP-9. Hence, it may be a promising candidate for preventing and treating periprosthetic osteoporosis after the artificial joint operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The number of patients in dentistry taking bisphosphonates (BP) increases every year. There are only little data about the influence of biomechanical stress due to orthodontic treatment and periodontal inflammation in BP patients. This study focused on the effects of the induced inflammation by IL-1ß in compressed human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPdLF) exposed to the nitrogen-containing BP zoledronate in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS HPdLF were incubated with 5 μmol/l zoledronate and 10 ng/ml IL-1ß for 48 h. In the last 3 h, cells were exposed to a compressive, centrifugal force of 34.9 g/cm2. Cell viability was analyzed directly after the compressive force by MTT assay. Gene expression of COX-2 and IL-6 was investigated using quantitative qRT-PCR. PGE-2 and IL-6 protein secretion were measured via ELISA. RESULTS The cell viability of HPdLF was not affected. Without inflammatory pre-stimulation, COX-2 expression was increased by compression and zoledronate. IL-6 expression was increased under compression. On secretion level, the combination of compression and zoledronate induced a slightly increase of IL-6 secretion. In contrast, inflammatory pre-stimulation strengthened the compressive upregulation of COX-2, as well as induced a higher PGE-2 secretion. Further addition of zoledronate to pre-stimulated cells additionally strengthened the compression-induced upregulation of COX-2 and IL-6 expression as well as protein secretion compared to all other groups. CONCLUSIONS Biomechanical stress might trigger a pro-inflammatory potential of BP further enhanced in the presence of an inflammatory pre-stimulation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE To prevent excessive host inflammatory responses, occlusal overloading and mechanical stress due to orthodontic treatment should be avoided in BP patients with untreated periodontitis.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate commonly used to treat bone diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer‐induced bone disease. Patients exhibit a variable sensitivity to zoledronic acid; the underlying explanation for this remains unclear. The objective of this study was to obtain more knowledge in this regard. We hypothesized that osteoclasts generated from different individuals would show a variable sensitivity to zoledronic acid in vitro. Osteoclasts were generated using monocytes from 46 healthy female blood donors (40 to 66 years). Matured osteoclasts were reseeded onto bone slices precoated with different concentrations of zoledronic acid. IC50 values were determined based on total eroded bone surface after 3 days of resorption. The IC50 for inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption varied from 0.06 to 12.57μM zoledronic acid; thus, a more than 200‐fold difference in sensitivity to zoledronic acid among osteoclasts from different individuals was observed. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the determined IC50 correlated with smoking status, and the average number of nuclei per osteoclast in vitro. Further analyses showed that: (i) increasing protein levels of mature cathepsin K in osteoclast cultures rendered the osteoclasts less sensitive to zoledronic acid; (ii) surprisingly, neither the gene nor the protein expression of farnesyl diphosphate synthase was found to correlate with the IC50; and (iii) trench‐forming osteoclasts were found to be more sensitive to zoledronic acid than pit‐forming osteoclasts within the same cell culture. Thus, we conclude that there indeed is a high degree of variation in the potency of zoledronic acid on osteoclasts when generated from different individuals. We propose that our findings can explain some of the varying clinical efficacy of zoledronic acid therapy observed in patients, and may therefore be of clinical importance, which should be investigated in a clinical trial combining in vitro and in vivo investigations. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is maintained by concerted actions of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. A wide range of evidence indicates that a proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 promotes osteoclastogenesis. However, the role of IL-17 in osteoblasts is less well-understood. In the current study, the effect of IL-17 on osteogenic differentiation was investigated in mouse calvarial cells. IL-17 stimulated osteoblast differentiation, mineralization, proliferation, motility, and osteoblast-dependent osteoclastogenesis in vitro. The pro-osteogenic role of IL-17 was dependent on Act1 and the generation of reactive oxygen species. In a critical size calvarial defect model, IL-17 significantly augmented bone regeneration. Importantly, IL-17 also remarkably increased bone remodeling and restored osteoclastogenesis in zoledronate-treated mice. Furthermore, IL-17 conspicuously stimulated the formation of lamellar bones. These data not only provide a clue to understand the role of IL-17 in bone metabolism but also suggest possible applications in bone augmentation therapies.

Abstract
Aminobisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid (ZA), have shown potential in the treatment of different malignancies, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Yet, their clinical exploitation is limited by their high bone affinity and modest bioavailability. Here, ZA is encapsulated into the aqueous core of spherical polymeric nanoparticles (SPNs), whose size and architecture resemble that of biological vesicles. On Vδ2 T cells, derived from the peripheral blood of healthy donors and CRC patients, ZA-SPNs induce proliferation and trigger activation up to three orders of magnitude more efficiently than soluble ZA. These activated Vδ2 T cells kill CRC cells and tumor spheroids, and are able to migrate toward CRC cells in a microfluidic system. Notably, ZA-SPNs can also stimulate the proliferation of Vδ2 T cells from the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of CRC patients and boost their cytotoxic activity against patients' autologous tumor organoids. These data represent a first step toward the use of nanoformulated ZA for immunotherapy in CRC patients.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (Bps) inhibit the maturation of osteoclasts and suppress the adhesion of cancer cells to the bone matrix. They are recommended as the standard treatment for tumors exhibiting bone metastasis (BM). However, whether Bps can improve the prognosis of patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibiting BM remains unclear. A total of 129 patients with NSCLC initially diagnosed with BM at The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China) between January 2005 and December 2017 were analyzed in the present retrospective study. Median progression free survival (mPFS) time, median bone metastasis overall survival (mBM-OS) time and bone-associated progression-free survival were analyzed. Among the 129 patients, patients treated with Bps experienced significantly prolonged PFS time [mPFS: 7.1 vs. 5.1 months; hazard ratio (HR), 0.51; confidence interval (CI), 0.30-0.87; P=0.0114] in comparison with patients not treated with Bps. Of the 49 patients treated with frontline TKIs (EGFR TKIs or ALK TKI), 32 received Bps at the same time, while 17 patients received TKIs alone. The results revealed that mPFS time was significantly greater in the TKIs plus Bps group than in the TKIs alone group (mPFS: 11.2 vs. 6.9 months; HR, 0.13; CI, 0.05-0.35; P<0.0001). Significantly prolonged BM-OS time was also observed in the combination group in comparison with the TKIs alone group (mBM-OS: 31 vs. 22 months; HR, 0.31; CI, 0.10-0.96; P=0.0413). The present study demonstrated that among the patients who received TKIs (EGFR TKIs or ALK TKIs), those who also received Bps experienced significantly longer PFS time and tended to exhibit significantly improved BM-OS time, which indicated that Bps should be added to the treatment regimen of patients with NSCLC exhibiting genetic mutations and bone metastasis who have been prescribed TKIs (EGFR TKIs or ALK TKIs).

Liu H, Gu R, Li W, Zhou W, Cong Z, Xue J, Liu Y, Wei Q, Zhou Y. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG attenuates tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-induced bone loss in male mice via gut-microbiota-dependent anti-inflammation. Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2019; 10:2040622319860653. [PMID: 31321013 PMCID: PMC6610433 DOI: 10.1177/2040622319860653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Although antiretroviral agents trigger bone loss in human immunodeficiency
virus patients, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) induces more severe bone
damage, such as osteoporosis. While, the mechanisms are unclear, probiotic
supplements may be effective against osteoporosis. Methods: C57BL6/J mice were administered with Lactobacillus rhamnosus
GG (LGG)+TDF, TDF, and zoledronic acid+TDF, respectively. Bone morphometry
and biomechanics were evaluated using microcomputed tomography, bone
slicing, and flexural tests. The lymphocyte, proinflammatory cytokines, and
intestinal permeability levels were detected using enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assays, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and
flow cytometry. The gut microbiota composition and metabolomics were
analyzed using 16S recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid pyrosequencing and
ultra-performance liquid-chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass
spectrometry. Results: LGG administered orally induced marked increases in trabecular bone
microarchitecture, cortical bone volume, and biomechanical properties in the
LGG+TDF group compared with that in the TDF-only group. Moreover, LGG
treatment increased intestinal barrier integrity, expanded regulatory T
cells, decreased Th17 cells, and downregulated osteoclastogenesis-related
cytokines in the bone marrow, spleen, and gut. Furthermore, LGG
reconstructed the gut microbiota and changed the metabolite composition,
especially lysophosphatidylcholine levels. However, the amount of
N-acetyl-leukotriene E4 was the highest in the TDF-only group. Conclusion: LGG reconstructed the community structure of the gut microbiota, promoted the
expression of lysophosphatidylcholines, and improved intestinal integrity to
suppress the TDF-induced inflammatory response, which resulted in
attenuation of TDF-induced bone loss in mice. LGG probiotics may be a safe
and effective strategy to prevent and treat TDF-induced osteoporosis.

Zoledronic acid combined with percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fracture in a single T12 or L1 vertebral body in postmenopausal women. Osteoporos Int 2019; 30:1475-1480. [PMID: 30976888 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-019-04896-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Accepted: 02/08/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed a 1-year prospective study to see whether zoledronic acid infusion combined with percutaneous kyphoplasty could provide more benefits in the treatment of T12 or L1 osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). INTRODUCTION To investigate and analyze the clinical effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) in combination with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of OVCF in postmenopausal women. METHODS Included in this study were 101 postmenopausal women patients with T12 or L1 OVCF who received PKP in our hospital between August 2015 and July 2017. They were randomly assigned to a zoledronic acid (ZOL) group (n = 50) or a control group (n = 51). Patients in ZOL group were treated preoperatively with IV infusion of 5 mg ZOL in combination with 0.25μg/d calcitriol and D3 600 mg/d calcium carbonate for a year. Patients in the control group were treated with the same dose of calcitriol and calcium carbonate D3 without ZOL. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), menopause age, and the fractured vertebral body between the two groups. At 6 and 12 months after treatment, bone mineral density (BMD) in ZOL group was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.01); bone markers (NMID, P1NP, and β-CTX) and the VAS score in ZOL group were significantly lower than those in the control group. No new fracture occurred in ZOL group. The incidence of recompression vertebral fracture (RVF) in the control group was 11.7%, while no RVF was detected in any patient in ZOL group. Mild adverse reactions in ZOL group were significantly higher than those in the control group, but all of them were relieved after symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSIONS ZOL IV infusion in combination with PKP is beneficial for the treatment of T12 or L1 OVCF.
