Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a condition that can occur primarily in patients undergoing or have previously undergone therapy with bisphosphonates, particularly in the presence of risk factors, such as tooth extraction (TE). PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of selenium (SEL) administration on the prevention of osteonecrosis of the jaw in an MRONJ animal model. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, AND SAMPLE This study was a longitudinal in vivo animal study using a TE model in a sample of 48 Wistar rats. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variables were SEL exposure, timing of SEL exposure, and zoledronic acid (ZOL) exposure. The animals were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups (n = 12 per group): 1) saline (negative control), 2) ZOL (positive control), 3) SELpreop + ZOL, and 4) ZOL + SELpostop. The animals were administered saline (negative control) or ZOL (0.06 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) once a week for 5 weeks. All rats underwent TE at the end of the fifth week. SEL (0.3 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) was administered once daily for 15 days to the SELpreop + ZOL group before TE and to the ZOL + SELpostop group after TE. All animals were sacrificed at the end of the ninth week. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variables were new bone area, necrotic bone area, fibrosis, new connective tissue formation, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the histopathological analysis, as well as angiogenesis and percentage of osteoblasts in the immunohistochemical analysis. COVARIATES There was none. ANALYSES Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by post hoc Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U tests, with a significance level of P ≤ .05. RESULTS The new bone area was higher in the ZOL + SELpostop group (3.00 score) than in the saline group (0.58 ± 1.08 score, P < .001) and the ZOL group (0.82 ± 1.40 score, P = .001), while the necrotic bone area was lower in the ZOL + SELpostop group (0.08 ± 0.29 score) than in the ZOL group (2.82 ± 0.40 score, P < .001) and the SELpreop + ZOL group (1.67 ± 0.89 score, P = .007). The percentage of osteoblasts was higher in the ZOL + SELpostop group (18.73%) than in the saline group (8.63%, P < .001) and the ZOL group (0.07%, P < .001), and it was also higher in the SELpreop + ZOL group (18.49%) than in the ZOL group (0.07%, P < .001). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In conclusion SEL prevents MRONJ, with postoperative SEL demonstrating greater prevention effects. Given these findings, we hypothesize that SEL exposure may decrease the risk of MRONJ.

GDF15 Modulates the Zoledronic-Acid-Induced Hyperinflammatory Mechanoresponse of Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts. Cells 2024; 13:147. [PMID: 38247838 PMCID: PMC10814077 DOI: 10.3390/cells13020147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is thought to be impeded by bisphosphonate (BP) therapy, mainly due to increased osteoclast apoptosis and changes in the periodontal ligament (PdL), a connecting tissue between the alveolar bone and teeth. PdL cells, mainly fibroblasts (PdLFs), are crucial regulators in OTM by modulating force-induced local inflammatory processes. Recently, we identified the TGF-β/BMP superfamily member GDF15 as an important modulator in OTM, promoting the pro-inflammatory mechanoresponses of PdLFs. The precise impact of the highly potent BP zoledronate (ZOL) on the mechanofunctionality of PdLFs is still under-investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to further characterize the ZOL-induced changes in the initial inflammatory mechanoresponse of human PdLFs (hPdLFs) and to further clarify a potential interrelationship with GDF15 signaling. Thus, two-day in vitro treatment with 0.5 µM, 5 µM and 50 µM of ZOL altered the cellular properties of hPdLFs partially in a concentration-dependent manner. In particular, exposure to ZOL decreased their metabolic activity, the proliferation rate, detected using Ki-67 immunofluorescent staining, and survival, analyzed using trypan blue. An increasing occurrence of DNA strand breaks was observed using TUNEL and an activated DNA damage response was demonstrated using H2A.X (phosphoS139) staining. While the osteogenic differentiation of hPdLFs was unaffected by ZOL, increased cellular senescence was observed using enhanced p21Waf1/Cip1/Sdi1 and β-galactosidase staining. In addition, cytokine-encoding genes such as IL6, IL8, COX2 and GDF15, which are associated with a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, were up-regulated by ZOL. Subsequently, this change in the hPdLF phenotype promoted a hyperinflammatory response to applied compressive forces with an increased expression of the pro-inflammatory markers IL1β, IL6 and GDF15, as well as the activation of monocytic THP1 cells. GDF15 appeared to be particularly relevant to these changes, as siRNA-mediated down-regulation balanced these hyperinflammatory responses by reducing IL-1β and IL-6 expression (IL1B p-value < 0.0001; IL6 p-value < 0.001) and secretion (IL-1β p-value < 0.05; IL-6 p-value < 0.001), as well as immune cell activation (p-value < 0.0001). In addition, ZOL-related reduced RANKL/OPG values and inhibited osteoclast activation were enhanced in GDF15-deficient hPdLFs (both p-values < 0.0001; all statistical tests: one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test). Thus, GDF15 may become a promising new target in the personalized orthodontic treatment of bisphosphonatepatients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glioblastoma is a common malignant brain tumor, with limited therapeutic options. In our previous study, the Moraea sisyrinchium plant showed cytotoxicity against glioblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Among different parts of this plant (flower, stem, and bulb), the bulb showed better anticancer potential. The present work aimed to test the anticancer activity of different fractions of the bulb extract, to determine its phytochemicals, and to study its mechanism action on glioblastoma. METHODS The bulb extract was partitioned into different fractions using immiscible solvents. The U87 glioblastoma cells were incubated with the obtained fractions. Then, the cell proliferation assay (MTT), cell migration test (scratch), cell cycle analysis (propidium iodide staining), apoptosis/necrosis assay (annexin V/propidium iodide staining), and real-time PCR (PTEN, Akt, mTOR, BAX and BCL-2 genes) were performed. Phytochemicals were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. RESULTS The chloroform fraction showed more antiproliferative effect than n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol fractions. Also, chloroform fraction induced cell cycle arrest, increased apoptosis, and inhibited cell migration ability (P < 0.05). The expression of PTEN, mTOR, and BAX genes was significantly up-regulated, while the expression of Akt and Bcl-2 showed down-regulation. The phytochemicals identified in the chloroform fraction were mainly xanthones, phytosterols, and isoflavones. CONCLUSION The chloroform fraction of Moraea sisyrinchium bulb inhibits the proliferation and migration of glioblastoma cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by upregulation of the PTEN gene and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. The identified compounds in the chloroform fraction are potential candidates for further investigation as anticancer agents against glioblastoma.

Intermittent parathyroid hormone enhances the healing of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw lesions in rice rats. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1179350. [PMID: 37404809 PMCID: PMC10315582 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1179350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potentially severe adverse event in patients treated with antiresorptives. Management of MRONJ is challenging, and no non-antibiotic, established medical treatment exists. Intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH) has been used off-label to treat MRONJ with favorable results. However, its medical efficacy has rarely been substantiated in clinical or preclinical experiments. Using a validated rice rat, infection-based model of MRONJ, we evaluated the effects of iPTH on established MRONJ. We hypothesize that iPTH contributes to MRONJ resolution by enhancing alveolar bone turnover and healing oral soft tissues. Eighty-four rice rats began a standard rodent chow diet at age 4 weeks to induce localized periodontitis. Rats were simultaneously randomized to receive saline (vehicle, VEH) or zoledronic acid (ZOL, 80 μg/kg IV) every 4 weeks. Oral exams were conducted bi-weekly to assign a gross quadrant grade (GQG, 0-4) to evaluate any lesion at the lingual aspect of the interdental space between maxillary molar (M2) and M3. 14 of 20 VEH-treated rice rats (70%) developed maxillary localized periodontitis with GQG 2-3 after 30 ± 10 weeks of saline. Additionally, 40 of 64 ZOL-treated rice rats with periodontitis developed MRONJ-like lesions after 30 ± 10 weeks of ZOL treatment. Rice rats with localized periodontitis or MRONJ-like lesions were treated with saline or iPTH (40 μg/kg) subcutaneously (SC) 3 times/week For 6 weeks until euthanasia. We found that iPTH -treated ZOL rats had a lower prevalence of MRONJ (p < 0.001), with lower severity extent of oral lesions (p = 0.003) and percentage of empty osteocyte lacunae (p < 0.001). ZOL rats treated with iPTH displayed a higher osteoblast surface (p < 0.001), more osteoblasts (p < 0.001), higher osteoclast surface (p < 0.001) and more osteoclasts (p = 0.002) at alveolar bone surfaces than ZOL/VEH rats. Greater gingival epithelial thickness and epithelial cell proliferation rate was found in the oral mucosa and gingiva of ZOL/PTH rats than in ZOL/VEH rats (p < 0.001). Our data suggest that iPTH is an efficacious non-operative medicinal therapy that accelerates oral healing and enhances the resolution of MRONJ lesions in ZOL-treated rice rats.

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

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1104826. [PMID: 37056703 PMCID: PMC10086244 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1104826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Zoledronic acid (ZA), one of the commonly used bisphosphonates, is mainly used for bone-metabolic diseases. Studies proved that ZA has adverse effects on oral soft tissues. As the first line of innate immunity, the gingival epithelium could be infected by periodontal pathogens, which is a key process of the initiation of periodontal diseases. Yet, how ZA affects the periodontal pathogens infecting the epithelial barrier remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influences of ZA on the process of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) infecting the gingival epithelial barrier via in-vitro and in-vivo experiments. In the in-vitro experiments, under the condition of different concentrations of ZA (0, 1, 10, and 100 μM), P. gingivalis was used to infect human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs). The infections were detected by transmission electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope. Besides, the internalization assay was applied to quantify the P. gingivalis, which infected the HGECs, in the different groups. To evaluate the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, by infected HGECs, real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions were applied. In the in-vivo experiments, rats were given ZA solution (ZA group) or saline (control group) by tail intravenous injection for 8 weeks. Subsequently, we put ligatures around the maxillary second molars of all the rats and inoculated P. gingivalis to the gingiva every other day from day 1 to day 13. The rats were sacrificed on days 3, 7, and 14 for micro-CT and histological analyses. The in-vitro results manifested that the quantity of P. gingivalis that had infected HGECs increased with the ZA concentrations. Pro-inflammatory cytokines expression by HGECs were significantly increased by 100 μM ZA. In the in-vivo study, compared to the control group, more P. gingivalis was detected in the superficial layer of gingival epithelium in the ZA group. Besides, ZA significantly increased the expression level of IL-1β on day 14 and IL-6 on days 7 and 14 in gingival tissues. These findings suggest that the oral epithelial tissues of patients who receive high-dose ZA treatment may be more susceptible to periodontal infections, resulting in severe inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of resveratrol on peri-implant repair and its effects on bone-related markers in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats. Animals were divided into: OVX+PLAC (n = 10): ovariectomized animals treated with placebo; OVX+RESV (n = 10): OVX treated with resveratrol; OVX+PLAC+ZOL (n = 10): OVX treated with PLAC and zoledronate; OVX+RESV+ZOL (n = 10): OVX treated with RESV and ZOL; and SHOVX+PLAC (n = 10): sham ovariectomy treated with PLAC. RESV and PLAC were administrated after ovariectomy and ZOL after six weeks after OVX, until the end of experiment. One implant was inserted in each tibiae of animals 18 weeks after ovariectomy. After 4 weeks, one implant was removed for counter-torque, and peri-implant tissue was collected for mRNA quantification of several osteogenic markers by PCR. The other tibia was submitted to micro-computed tomography analysis. Reduced counter-torque values, bone-implant contact (BIC) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV), and higher bone porosity (BP) were detected in OVX+PLAC group when compared to SHOVX+PLAC (p < 0.05). OVX+RESV rats presented lower BIC, BV/TV, and trabecular number (Tb.N), and augmented BP and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) when compared to SHOVX+PLAC (p < 0.05). Higher Tb.N and connectivity density (Conn.Dn) and reduced Tb.Sp were observed in OVX rats treated with ZOL, independently of RESV, when compared to OVX+PLAC and OVX+RESV groups (p < 0.05), whereas the combination ZOL+RESV promoted lower BP when compared to OVT+PLAC and OVX+RESV (p < 0.05). Gene expression was not influenced by RESV (p > 0.05), whereas ZOL promoted up-regulation of BMP-2 (p<0.05). RESV did not improve peri-implant bone repair in rats with ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis.

FRONTIERS IN ORAL HEALTH 2022; 3:892615. [PMID: 35795156 PMCID: PMC9251184 DOI: 10.3389/froh.2022.892615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an often-severe complication found in patients receiving bisphosphonates in the management of Paget's, osteoporosis and metastatic bone cancer. Mucosal breakdown with bone exposure is a primary clinical presentation of MRONJ linked to the inhibitory effect of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BP) on the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol (GGOH) has demonstrated a rescue effect on N-BP-treated osteoclasts but the biological effects on oral soft tissues and cells remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether GGOH could prevent bisphosphonate induced toxicity to oral mucosa cells in vitro. Primary oral fibroblasts and keratinocytes were exposed to different GGOH concentrations or GGOH in combination with two nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid (ZA) or pamidronic acid (PA), for 72 h. The metabolic activity of each cell type was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. GGOH without bisphosphonates significantly reduced the metabolic activity of oral mucosa cells. Fibroblasts treated with GGOH and ZA in combination showed a slight increase in metabolic status compared to fibroblasts treated with ZA alone, however this positive effect was not observed in keratinocytes. In the presence of PA, GGOH was unable to increase the metabolic activity of either cell type. These findings demonstrate that GGOH is toxic to oral mucosa cells and that GGOH was not able to prevent bisphosphonate induced toxicity. These data show that GGOH does not have therapeutic potential for bisphosphonate-induced soft tissue toxicity in MRONJ and the use of GGOH as an MRONJ treatment should be strongly reconsidered.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate drug, is used for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, and tumor-induced osteolysis. Zoledronic acid has also gained a place in cancer treatment due to its cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects in many cancer cells. Although zoledronic acid is considered safe, kidney damage is still one of the concerns in therapeutic doses. In the study, the aim was to assess the nephrotoxic profiles of zoledronic acid in the human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. Cytotoxicity evaluation was performed by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and neutral red uptake tests, while oxidative stress was performed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via flow cytometry, and the incomprehensible evaluation of ROS-related genes by RT-PCR and apoptosis was performed with Annexin-PI analysis in flow cytometry. The obtained result showed that zoledronic acid inhibited cell viability (IC50 values were determined as 273.16 by MTT) and cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, induced ROS production, caused glutathione depletion, and increased oxidative stress index and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, indicating severe cellular stress. The expression levels of oxidative damage (L-fabp, α-GST, Nrf2, and HMOX1), ER stress (CASP4, IRE1-α, GADD153, and GRP78), and apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bax, Cyt-c, p53, CASP9, CASP3, NF-κB, TNF-α, and JNK) related genes were altered as well as IRE1-α protein levels. Herein, we were the first to show that increased oxidative stress and ER stress resulting in apoptosis are the key molecular pathways in zoledronic acid-induced nephrotoxicity equivalent to clinically administered concentrations.

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

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

Synthetic Hydroxyapatite Inhibits Bisphosphonate Toxicity to the Oral Mucosa In Vitro. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13092086.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect of bisphosphonate therapy, characterised by exposed necrotic bone. The soft tissues of the oral mucosa no longer provide a protective barrier and MRONJ patients experience pain, infections and difficulties eating. We hypothesised that hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH)) could reduce bisphosphonate concentrations and protect the oral mucosa by exploiting bisphosphonate's calcium binding affinity. The effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) and pamidronic acid (PA) on the metabolism of oral fibroblasts, oral keratinocytes and three-dimensional oral mucosa models was investigated and then repeated in the presence of hydroxyapatite granules. Without hydroxyapatite, ZA and PA significantly reduced the metabolic activity of oral cells in a dose-dependent manner. Both drugs reduced epithelial thickness and 30 µM ZA resulted in loss of the epithelium. Hydroxyapatite granules had a protective effect on oral cells, with metabolic activity retained. Oral mucosa models retained their multi-layered epithelium when treated with ZA in the presence of hydroxyapatite granules and metabolic activity was comparable to controls. These results demonstrate hydroxyapatite granules protected oral soft tissues from damage caused by bisphosphonate exposure. Porous hydroxyapatite granules are currently used for socket preservation and this data suggests their potential to prevent MRONJ in at-risk patients.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) is a phytoestrogen with a wide range of therapeutic effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was performed to evaluate the protective role of RSV against osteonecrosis after tooth extraction in rats treated with bisphosphonates. Thirty-nine male Wistar rats, weighing 300-350 g, were divided into three groups (n = 13) according to the planned drug regimen: alendronate + dexamethasone (AL/DEX), alendronate + dexamethasone + RSV (AL/DEX/RSV), and no drugs (control group). The first and second molars of each rat were extracted and the extraction sites were analysed histologically 14 days later. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis by means of Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, χ2, and Fisher's exact tests using IBM SPSS software at a significance level of 0.05. The incidence of osteonecrosis was significantly lower in the AL/DEX/RSV group (P = 0.001) and control group (P = 0.041) than in the AL/DEX group, while the amount of new bone formation did not differ significantly between the AL/DEX/RSV and AL/DEX groups (P > 0.05). RSV showed a protective effect by significantly reducing osteonecrosis, which could be due to its antioxidant effects.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are used in treating patients with breast cancer. In vitro studies have shown that bisphosphonates act directly on tumour cells, inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. In most such studies, drugs were added to culture media exposing cells to high bisphosphonate concentrations in solution. However, since bisphosphonates bind to bone hydroxyapatite with high affinity and remain bound for very long periods of time, these experimental systems are not an optimal model for the action of the drugs in vivo. The aim of this study was to determine whether bone-bound zoledronate has direct effects on adjacent breast cancer cells. Bone slices were pre-incubated with bisphosphonate solutions, washed, and seeded with cells of the breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 or MDA-MB-231. Proliferation was assessed by cell counts and thymidine incorporation for up to 72 h. Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway was tested by measuring the levels of unprenylated Rap1A, and apoptosis was examined by the presence of cleaved caspase-8 on western blots. The proliferation rate of breast cancer cells on zoledronate-treated bone was significantly lower compared to cells on control bone. Other bisphosphonates showed a similar inhibitory effect, with an order of potency similar to their clinical potencies. Unprenylated Rap1A accumulated in MCF7 cells on zoledronate-treated bone, suggesting zoledronate acted through the inhibition of the mevalonate pathway. Accumulation of cleaved caspase-8 in MDA-MB-231 cells on bisphosphonate-treated bone indicated increased apoptosis in the cells. In conclusion, bone-bound zoledronate inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation, an activity that may contribute to its clinical anti-tumour effects.

Synthetic Calcium Phosphate Ceramics as a Potential Treatment for Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12111840.

Abstract
(1) Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is one of the most often seen side effects in patients treated with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (BPs), a post-surgical non-healing wound condition. Since calcium phosphate (CP) compounds are able to adsorb zoledronate (ZOL) when used as a drug delivery vehicle, we aimed to verify if these ceramics might have a potential protective effect for soft tissues surrounding surgical osseous wounds. (2) Methods: The chemical reaction between ZOL and CP compounds was evaluated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and elemental analysis. A primary culture of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) was established as a model to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the association of ZOL (5–500 μM) and of ZOL/biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP). Metabolic activity, cell viability, types of cell death, the cell cycle through, and the migration ability of human gingival fibroblasts were evaluated. (3) Results: ZOL was adsorbed by biphasic calcium phosphate compounds in an aqueous solution. The HGF were sensitive to ZOL toxicity; nevertheless, ZOL/BCP showed a significant protective effect regarding metabolic activity, cell viability, and cell migration. (4) Conclusions: BCP interaction with ZOL reduces or abolishes its toxicity in HGF. This finding represents a potential solution for BRONJ in the case of patients undergoing therapy with ZOL.

Abstract
Background Previous preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that zoledronate might inhibit neointimal hyperplasia at least partly by inhibiting the proliferation, adhesion and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, whether zoledronate influences fibroblasts’ proliferation and activation, which also play a key role in neointimal hyperplasia and vascular remodeling, remains largely unknown. In the present study, the effect of zoledronate on fibroblasts was investigated and the underlying molecular mechanisms were examined. Methods After treatment with zoledronate, changes in biological behaviors, including the morphology, proliferation, cell-cycle distribution and migration of fibroblasts (NIH3T3 cells), were observed. The expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 and the level of Smad2/3 phosphorylation in cultured fibroblasts were examined by Western blot. In vivo expression of α-SMA and TGF-β1 was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. Results It was shown that the typical fibroblast cell morphology was altered after zoledronate exposure. Cultured fibroblasts treated with zoledronate displayed dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation due to cell-cycle arrest in the S phase. Cell migration activities were also dose dependently suppressed by zoledronate treatment. Expression of α-SMA in cultured fibroblasts was significantly reduced by zoledronate treatment. Further analysis showed decreased expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA by periadventitial delivery of zoledronate in the rat carotid balloon-injury model. The expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 and the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 in cultured fibroblasts were significantly inhibited by zoledronate treatment. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated that zoledronate can inhibit the proliferation, migration and activation of fibroblasts via the TGF-β signaling pathway and revealed a novel mechanism of zoledronate action against neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal premature ageing disease in children. HGPS is one of several progeroid syndromes caused by mutations in the LMNA gene encoding the nuclear structural proteins lamins A and C. In classic HGPS the mutation G608G leads to the formation of a toxic lamin A protein called progerin. During post-translational processing progerin remains farnesylated owing to the mutation interfering with a step whereby the farnesyl moiety is removed by the enzyme ZMPSTE24. Permanent farnesylation of progerin is thought to be responsible for the proteins toxicity. Farnesyl is generated through the mevalonate pathway and three drugs that interfere with this pathway and hence the farnesylation of proteins have been administered to HGPS children in clinical trials. These are a farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI), statin and a bisphosphonate. Further experimental studies have revealed that other drugs such as N-acetyl cysteine, rapamycin and IGF-1 may be of use in treating HGPS through other pathways. We have shown previously that FTIs restore chromosome positioning in interphase HGPS nuclei. Mis-localisation of chromosomes could affect the cells ability to regulate proper genome function. Using nine different drug treatments representing drug regimes in the clinic we have shown that combinatorial treatments containing FTIs are most effective in restoring specific chromosome positioning towards the nuclear periphery and in tethering telomeres to the nucleoskeleton. On the other hand, rapamycin was found to be detrimental to telomere tethering, it was, nonetheless, the most effective at inducing DNA damage repair, as revealed by COMET analyses.

Abstract
Chloroquine (CQ) has been confirmed to exhibit antitumor effects on different types of cancer cell, but whether it exerts the same effect on acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells remains to be confirmed. In the present study, the effects of various concentrations of CQ on the growth, apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of NB4 cells, as well as the potential mechanisms underlying these effects, were examined. The combined effect of CQ and arsenic trioxide (ATO) on the growth of NB4 cells was also determined. The results of the present study demonstrated that CQ treatment inhibited cell proliferation, and induced mitochondrial pathway apoptosis and S phase arrest in a dose-dependent manner by regulating apoptosis- and cell cycle-related proteins. CQ and ATO had a synergistic effect on the growth inhibition of NB4 cells, which may have been induced through the inhibition of autophagy. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that CQ exhibits a cytotoxic effect on NB4 cells and has a synergistic effect when combined with ATO, which thereby improves the curative effect of ATO on APL.

Evaluation of KGF, EGF, VEGF, bcl-2, IL-6 and ki67 expression in oral epithelium adjacent to bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis and florid osseous dysplasia: a comparative immunohistochemical study. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2017; 124:548-553. [PMID: 29056287 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2017.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2017] [Revised: 08/23/2017] [Accepted: 09/01/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the expression of proliferative markers and apoptosis-associated proteins in the oral mucosa adjacent to bone sequestrum associated with osteonecrosis (ON) of the jaws and florid osseous dysplasia (OD). STUDY DESIGN Oral mucosal samples derived from surgical procedures performed for treatment of ON and OD (10 cases each) were retrieved. Histologic analysis was done on hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides; immunohistochemical reactions against epidermal growth factor (EGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Bcl-2 protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Ki-67 antigen were performed with the immunoperoxidase technique. RESULTS The epithelium was hyperplastic in 60% and 22% of ON and OD samples, respectively. Cytoplasmic EGF and KGF expression; Bcl-2, VEGF, and IL-6 expressions; and the mean epithelial proliferative index were not statistically different between the 2 groups. Membranous EGF expression was more evident in samples showing hyperplastic epithelium. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to bisphosphonates did not alter the expression of KGF, EGF, VEGF, Bcl-2, IL-6, and the epithelial proliferating index in comparison with inflamed oral mucosa not exposed to bisphosphonates.

Abstract
Background CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells suppress tumor immunity by inhibiting immune cells. Manipulation of Treg cells represents a new strategy for cancer treatment. Zoledronic acid (ZA), a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, inhibits the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) on osteoblasts to inhibit osteoclastogenesis. In a mouse model of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, administration of ZA suppressed Treg-cell activity and activated inflammatory Th17 cells. However, the interaction between ZA and Treg cells remained unclear. This study investigated the immune modulation of Treg cells by ZA. Methods Flow cytometry was used to analyze the phenotypic and immunosuppressive characteristics of Treg cells treated with ZA. Chemotactic migration was evaluated using transwell assays. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to investigate the effect of ZA on the expression of suppressive molecules by Treg cells. Results Proliferation of isolated Treg cells in culture was inhibited by ZA, although ZA did not induce apoptosis. qRT-PCR and flow cytometry showed that ZA significantly downregulated the expression of CCR4, CTLA4, PD-1 and RANKL on Treg cells. Chemotactic migration and immunosuppressive functions were also significantly attenuated in Treg cells pretreated with ZA, and these effects were dose-dependent. Co-culture with Treg cells significantly increased the migration rate of breast cancer cells, while pretreatment of Treg cells with ZA attenuated this effect. Conclusions Our findings demonstrated that ZA acted as an immune modulator by significantly inhibiting the expansion, migration, immunosuppressive function and pro-metastatic ability of Treg cells. Immunomodulation of Treg cells by ZA represents a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most malignant cancers in Japan. Anticancer chemotherapy has been useful for ESCC treatment. However, therapeutic options are limited. Recently, bisphosphonates (BPs), which are osteoporosis drugs, have shown anticancer effects in several cancer cell lines, but the effects against ESCC cell lines are unknown. In this study, we examined the cytotoxic effects of BPs and their mechanisms of cytotoxicity in human ESCC cell lines. A first-generation BP (etidronate), two second-generation BPs (alendronate and pamidronate), and two third-generation BPs (risedronate and zoledronate) were used in this study. All BPs, except etidronate, were cytotoxic, as indicated by increased caspase-3/7 activity and numbers of Annexin-fluorescein isothiocyanate positive cells in ESCC cell lines. From cell cycle analysis, G0/G1-phase arrest was observed upon treatment with second- and third-generation BPs. In addition, Cyclin D1 protein expression levels were decreased by second- and third-generation BP treatment. Although squalene and trans, trans-farnesol minimally affected BP cytotoxicity, treatment with geranylgeraniol inhibited BP cytotoxicity almost completely. We concluded that second- and third-generation BPs are cytotoxic to ESCC cell lines as they induce apoptosis and inhibit the cell cycle through mevalonate pathway inhibition. Therefore, BP treatment may be a beneficial therapy in ESCC patients.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a chronic complication affecting long-term bisphosphonate-treated subjects, recognized by non-healing exposed bone in the maxillofacial region. The pathophysiological mechanism underlying ONJ has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of RANK/RANKL/OPG signaling pathway and, in parallel, to evaluate angiogenic and matrix mineralization processes in jaw bone necrotic samples obtained from bisphosphonate-treated subjects with established ONJ. Necrotic bone samples and native bone samples were processed for Light and Field Emission in Lens Scanning Electron Microscope (FEISEM) analyses, for Real-Time RT-PCR to evaluate the gene expression of TNFRSF11A (RANK), TNFSF11 (RANKL), and TNFSF11B (OPG) and for immunohistochemical analyses of VEGF and BSP expression. Morphological analyses performed by Light microscope and FEISEM show empty osteocytic lacunae and alteration of lamellar organization with degradation of the mineralized bone matrix in necrotic bone samples. A significant increase in TNFRSF11A, TNFSF11, TRAF6 and NFAT2 gene expression, and a reduction of TNFSF11B gene transcription level compared is also showed in necrotic bone compared to control samples. No significant difference of VEGF expression is evidenced, while lower BSP expression in necrotic bone compared to healthy samples is found. Even if the pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-associated ONJ remains unknown, a link between oral pathogens and its development seems to exist. We suppose lipopolysaccharide produced by bacteria colonizing and infecting necrotic bone and the surrounding viable area could trigger RANK/RANKL/OPG signaling pathway and, in this context, osteoclasts activation could be considered as a protective strategy carried out by the host bone tissue to delimitate the necrotic area and to counteract infection.

Abstract
Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma is an epithelial tumor in the head and neck region. Despite its slow growth, patients with salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma exhibit poor long term survival because of a high rate of distant metastasis. Lung and bone are common distant metastasis sites. Zoledronic acid, a third generation bisphosphonate, has been used for tumor-induced osteolysis due to bone metastasis and has direct antitumor activity in several human neoplasms. Here, we observed that zoledronic acid inhibited salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line SACC-83 xenograft tumor growth in nude mice. In vitro, zoledronic acid induced apoptosis and reduced clonogenic survival in SACC-83. Flow cytometry and western blotting indicated that the cell cycle was arrested at G0/G1. Zoledronic acid treatment upregulated reactive oxygen species as well as the autophagy marker protein LC-3B. Reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetylcysteine and autophagy antagonist 3-methyladenine decreased zoledronic acid-induced apoptosis and increased clonogenic survival. Silencing of the autophagy related gene Beclin-1 also decreased zoledronic acid-induced apoptosis and inhibition of clonogenic formation. In addition, isobolographic analysis revealed synergistic effects on apoptosis when zoledronic acid and paclitaxel/cisplatin were combined. Taken together, our results suggest that zoledronic acid induced apoptosis and reduced clonogenic survival via upregulation of reactive oxygen species and autophagy in the SACC-83 cell line. Thus, zoledronic acid should be considered a promising drug for the treatment of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a side effect of bisphosphonate therapy. However, its pathophysiology is not yet fully elucidated, and effective treatment of BRONJ remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of alendronate on oral keratinocytes and of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on alendronate-treated keratinocytes, specifically by evaluating their viability, apoptosis, and wound healing function after irradiation. Oral keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) were exposed to 25 μM alendronate. Then, laser irradiation was performed with a low-level Ga-Al-As laser (λ = 808 ± 3 nm, 80 mW, and 80 mA; NDLux, Seoul, Korea) using 1.2 J/cm(2) energy dose. Viability was analyzed using MTT assay. Apoptosis was measured by Hoechst staining, caspase assay. Changes in secretion of IL-8, VEGF, and collagen type I were studied by ELISA and immunofluorescence microscopy. Scratch wound assays were also performed to measure cellular migration. Our results show that alendronate inhibits keratinocyte viability, expression of IL-8, VEGF, and collagen type I which are intimately related to healing events and cell migration while promoting apoptosis. Our results serve to demonstrate the utility of LLLT in partially overcoming the inhibitory effects of this bisphosphonate. From these results, the authors believe that the present study will provide an experimental basis for a fuller explanation of the clinical effects of LLLT as a BRONJ treatment modality.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported oxidative damage due to bisphosphonate (BP) in various cancer tissues and neurons, although basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induced antioxidant effects in the cells. The bFGF may modulate the BP-induced oxidative stress in oral epithelium of rats. This study was undertaken to explore possible beneficial antioxidant effects of bFGF on oxidative stress induced by BP in oral epithelium of rats. Twenty-eight rats were equally divided into four groups. The first group was used as control. The second, third and fourth groups intraperitoneally received BP (zoledronic acid), bFGF and BP + bFGF. At the end of 10 weeks, the rats were sacrificed, and oral epithelium samples were taken for analyses. In BP group, the lipid peroxidation levels were increased in the oral epithelium, while the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the concentrations of total antioxidant status (TAS) were decreased. In rats treated with bFGF, lipid peroxidation levels decreased, and the activities of GSH-Px and concentrations of TAS improved in the oral epithelium. However, zinc and copper levels were decreased in the oral epithelium by BP and bFGF treatments. Concentrations of vitamin E and reduced glutathione in the samples did not change in the groups. In conclusion, treatment with bFGF modulated the antioxidant redox system and reduced the oral epithelium oxidative stress induced by BP. However, zinc and copper levels were decreased by BP and bFGF treatments.

Abstract
Though osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is temporally-associated with the use of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs), a cause-and-effect relationship has not yet been established. We hypothesize that ONJ is a two-stage process in which: (1) risk factors initiate pathologic processes in the oral cavity that lead to a supranormal rate of hard tissue necrosis; and (2) powerful antiresorptives reduce the rate of removal of necrotic bone sufficiently to allow its net accumulation in the jaw. To test this hypothesis, we used the rice rat model of periodontitis. At age 28 days, rats (n = 15/group) were placed on a high-sucrose and casein diet to exacerbate the development of periodontitis. Animals were injected subcutaneously (SC) biweekly with vehicle or alendronate (ALN, 15 µg/kg), or IV once monthly with vehicle, a low dose (LD) of zoledronic acid (ZOL), or a high dose (HD) of ZOL and sacrificed after 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Mandibles and maxillae were analyzed to determine the effects on the: (1) progression of periodontitis; (2) integrity of alveolar bone; (3) status of bone resorption and formation; (4) vascularity; and (5) osteocyte viability. We found that only HD-ZOL induced ONJ-like lesions in mandibles of rice rats after 18 and 24 weeks of treatment. These lesions were characterized by areas of exposed necrotic alveolar bone, osteolysis, a honeycomb-like appearance of the alveolar bone, presence of bacterial colonies, and periodontal tissue destruction. In addition, inhibition of bone formation, a paradoxical abolition of the antiresorptive effect of only HD-ZOL, increased osteocyte necrosis/apoptosis, and decreased blood vessel number were found after 18 and/or 24 weeks. Our study suggests that only HD-ZOL exacerbates the inflammatory response and periodontal tissue damage in rice rats, inducing bone lesions that resemble ONJ.
